Chapter 1133: Almost Forgotten About Him
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
The man looked at Fangzheng as though he was a r.e.t.a.r.d and said, “That’s only a legend. It’s not even certain that Bodhisattva exists in this world…” Upon saying that, the man suddenly recalled that everything in this temple in front of him ‘shouldn’t exist in this world.’ Could there really be a Bodhisattva in this world?
“This Penniless Monk swears that Guan Yin Bodhisattva does exist.” Fangzheng resorted to an equivocation. He did not mention in which world Bodhisattva existed.
The man didn’t understand either. He knew that the credibility of monks when they swore was very high. Hence, he nodded and said, “So what?”
Fangzheng continued. “This child used to be a mountain king, a demon. He liked to eat people for no reason. After following Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva found this child very stubborn and intractable, so she threw him to This Penniless Monk.”
The man suddenly had an ominous feeling.
Fangzheng continued. “If Bodhisattva can’t do anything about him, how is This Penniless Monk to deal with him? Especially when this child goes crazy. He goes all cannibalistic when he has an episode! When he goes berserk, even This Penniless Monk can’t stop him…”
Boom!
A bolt of lightning struck the area between Fangzheng and the man. The huge bolt of lightning left the man trembling!
For there to be a meteorological phenomenon, could it be that something was about to happen? The man gulped as the ominous feeling grew.
At that moment, Red Boy’s face suddenly turned ugly. Following that, his entire being turned ferocious. Then, he roared as two small ox horns appeared on his head. He opened his mouth wide and instantly transformed into a green-faced, sharp-fanged monster. He roared. “I want to eat meat!”
Then, Red Boy charged forward and pounced at the man.
The man let out a cry as he leaned back and fell to the ground. Almost at the same time, he saw the green-faced monster with fangs. It opened its mouth and bit at his nose, but it was just a centimeter away when it stopped!
The color from the man’s face drained. Although he had long prepared himself for death, he believed that death from being blasted apart wouldn’t be too painful—an instantaneous matter. But being bitten to death by a monster? To be eaten?
The moment he thought of this, the man’s body trembled.
He hurriedly dodged and turned his head to take a look. Only then did he see that it wasn’t that the monster was being kind, but that its tail had been grabbed by Fangzheng and that it was forcefully being pulled back. Otherwise, he would have been bitten to death!
“Patron, This Penniless Monk just recalled that you haven’t introduced yourself, have you?”
With that said, Fangzheng grinned at the man. The man’s entire body turned cold from seeing the pearly white teeth. He had a feeling that if he didn’t answer, the darn baldy might just let go! Just the thought of it…
The man quickly called out. “My name is Abdul! I’m Malaysian!”
“How did you join the Red Fiend?” asked Fangzheng.
Since he had spoken, the stress Abdul was experiencing reduced significantly. He said, “When I was 14, I went to work with my uncle. Later, I came into contact with people from Red Fiend online. Later on, after you caught Red s.h.i.+rt, White Clothes began to select suicide bombers, and I was chosen.”
Abdul told him the purpose of his visit.
When Fangzheng heard that, his expression turned solemn. He originally believed that even if Red Fiend sought revenge, he would only seek revenge on him. He never expected that that ‘White Clothes’ would have no intention of blowing him up. Instead, he wanted to blow up his visitors or disciples!
Fangzheng wasn’t afraid that Red Fiend would cause him trouble. He would capture as many as they came. However, if Red Fiend were to target visitors… Fangzheng was ultimately only one person. How large an area could he protect? If Red Fiend were to cause explosions everywhere, Fangzheng wouldn’t be able to stop him from committing such terrorism! Ignoring how grievous the ensuing sins would be, Fangzheng alone couldn’t have this weigh on his conscience.
Fangzheng said solemnly, “Then, do you know where Red Fiend’s lair is?”
Upon hearing this, Abdul fell silent.
Fangzheng p.r.i.c.ked up his brows.
At that moment, Salted Fish returned, and Fangzheng gave him a signal. As a wily old fox, Salted Fish understood everything at a glance. He chuckled and said, “Fourth Junior Brother, what’s wrong? Are your old habits acting up again? I remember that Fourth Junior Brother has a habit of eating people. He starts eating from the feet, and he uses fire to stop the bleeding while eating. Basically, the other party can watch themselves getting eaten mouth after mouth. That feeling must be… Tsk.”
Upon hearing that, Abdul felt his soul turn cold. He hurriedly shouted. “I don’t know! I only know that they like to mingle in the Golden Triangle1. They are very familiar with the local generals. I don’t know anything else.”
As soon as he finished shouting, the monster in front of him suddenly started laughing. It was extremely evil.
When he looked at Salted Fish and Fangzheng again, who were also looking at him with a sinister smile, he immediately understood that he had been fooled by this darn baldy!
Indeed, Red Boy transformed back into a child the next moment. He didn’t look one bit mad.
“You swore and lied to me? Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?” Abdul shouted indignantly.
Fangzheng pointed at the black ground and said, “Didn’t it just strike?”
Abdul: “…”
“Master, how should we deal with this fellow?” Red Boy asked.
Fangzheng’s expression gradually turned solemn as he said, “A terrorist attack doesn’t distinguish between karma and age; neither does it differentiate between right and wrong. It implicates the innocent and is a heinous sin. Send him to h.e.l.l for a walk… Ah! It seems like someone else is still in h.e.l.l.”
Abdul didn’t understand what Fangzheng meant, but the next instant, he didn’t need to guess because he comprehended by what he saw!
There was the sound of a metal chain clanking as though it was pulling a carriage. Following that, white bone chains burst out from the ground, and the white bone chain slowly lifted up a large door. The skeleton on it turned its head in an instant, looked at Abdul, and gave him a ferocious smile before grabbing him over.
“No!!” As Abdul cried out in alarm, the skeleton pulled him in.
At the same time, the skeleton threw another person to the ground like road kill.
Following that, the door closed and sank back into the ground.
And all of this was covered up by Red Boy’s divine powers. The visitors from the front yard didn’t know that so much had happened in the backyard.
“Master, could this fellow be dead?” Red Boy leaned over and asked when he saw a motionless, naked b.u.t.t.
“He’s still alive…”
“Someone’s talking? Who’s talking? I’m done with the punishment. Let me out! Let me go back! I know my mistakes! I won’t dare do anything rash again. I want to surrender myself. I want to surrender myself!” the person on the ground suddenly crawled up and wailed.
The man’s hair was disheveled, and his face was covered with a full beard. His beard fell to the ground, just like his hair. Even so, he was crying like a child who was a month old. It was a tragic sight.
“Master, what should we do?” Red Boy asked.
Fangzheng thought for a moment, then went forward and pressed his palms together. “Amitabha. Patron, you can look up.”
The person on the ground raised his head slightly and opened his eyes. His face was filled with vicissitudes and suffering, but when he saw Fangzheng and the blue sky, he cried out loud. He knelt in front of Fangzheng and shouted. “Master, I know I was wrong! I was unfilial! I was a beast! Please, let me out. I want to go home… It’s been too many years. You have no idea how I survived all these years! I only had a single thought and it was to return home. I’m willing to accept any punishment. I don’t even mind being sentenced to death by a firing squad! Anything works as long as I don’t have to enter h.e.l.l again…”
