“Ding! Congratulations on obtaining a Green Jade Pill.”
Fangzheng was stunned when he heard that. He had actually obtained a pill. When he thought about it, he realized that the number of pills he had obtained from the System was less than the number of divine powers! However, those pills he did get had indeed resolved many urgent matters. The only pity was that pills were single-use items. It was quite a pity once they were used up.
With this in mind, Fangzheng didn’t grumble. Instead, he immediately chose to accept it. The next moment, a yellow light flashed in his hand, and a green pill appeared. When the light landed on the kasaya, it reflected green light, making the pill appear even greener.
Fangzheng could not help but mumble. “Is This Penniless Monk going to make green his color? Seriously, why are you adding to this for no reason?”
As Fangzheng grumbled about the prairie-like kasaya, he hurriedly checked the effects of the pill.
“Green Jade Pill: A pill from Daoism. After consuming it, one can immediately recover a small amount of energy, both physically and mentally.”
When Fangzheng saw this, he was a little excited. After summoning the Bodhisattva’s Golden Body Dharma Aspect, he had been unable to open his Heavenly Eye and use some other divine powers. What he lacked was this!
This pill was really a tiny pill, one that would appear trivial in a game. In fact, in Mount Numinous, it didn’t mean much either, but to the present Fangzheng, it was indeed the most useful item!
Without another word, Fangzheng immediately swallowed it.
The next moment, he felt a cool sensation in his stomach. Following that, a cold air flowed up his spine to the back of his head. His mind cleared, and the chaos in his mind vanished.
Fangzheng felt that the world in front of him had instantly lit up. He knew that the Heavenly Eye, Wisdom Eye, and the Dharma Eye were finally back! In his excitement, he pushed open the meditation room and prepared to find a disciple to test it out.
But the moment he opened the door, he saw w.a.n.g Yougui leaning against the back door, looking around!
Their eyes met the moment Fangzheng came out. Their gazes met like they were magnets.
Fangzheng understood that w.a.n.g Yougui must have been temporarily recruited by County Head Qi. It seemed like he accompanied a special agent to watch One Finger Monastery every day.
Now that the two met, Fangzheng’s first reaction was to turn around and return to his room to hide.
However, before Fangzheng could even turn his head, w.a.n.g Yougui roared. “Fangzheng, stop right there!”
Fangzheng was helpless. It wasn’t nice for him to run now that he had been shouted at. If no one shouted, he could run with a clear conscience. If I wasn’t home and we didn’t meet, who can be blamed if we weren’t fated? But if I ran after being discovered, it would be a little outrageous.
Upon hearing w.a.n.g Yougui’s shout, County Head Qi and the special agent who were bickering with Red Boy in a bid to head to the backyard to see if Fangzheng had returned, immediately felt pumped. They hurriedly ran to the backyard.
As for Red Boy, he had just sworn to the heavens with his hand raised. “My master is definitely not back!” He felt a dark cloud hang over his head as his face was filled with one word: awkward!
Red Boy cursed inwardly. You darn baldy. Why didn’t you come out earlier? Why did you have to appear just as I said that? F**k, my standing is about to be ruined by you… Sigh.
Red Boy was embarra.s.sed, but Fangzheng relied on his thick skin to face County Head Qi, the special agent, and the embarra.s.sed w.a.n.g Yougui.
w.a.n.g Yougui had been too excited just now. After camping by the door for several days, he finally saw Fangzheng and ended up shouting in excitement. He was quite embarra.s.sed that his shout had caused a disservice to Fangzheng.
County Head Qi looked at Fangzheng, unsure of what to do.
Furiously curse? “You darn baldy. You promised to wait for me the last time. Why did you run away?” But Fangzheng hadn’t agreed to wait for him back then…
Break into sobs about how he had waited for days? That didn’t match his status.
Laugh out loud and comment about how he’s finally back? If it were anyone else, how could they laugh out loud after being frozen on the mountain for days?
However, County Head Qi couldn’t take this lying down. Hence, he stared at Fangzheng with a disgruntled look. He thought, “If you still have a conscience, you will definitely feel uncomfortable by my gaze. You will feel guilty and be creeped out at least…”
However, after this went on for a few minutes, Fangzheng did not react at all!
At that moment, County Head Qi finally understood that the monk in front of him was no ordinary master. At the very least, his skin was tens of thousands of times thicker than the average master’s! As expected of Master Indecent. He really wasn’t a decent person.
Compared to the other two, the special agent appeared very calm and relaxed. He subconsciously extended his hand and said, “Abbot Fangzheng, we finally meet.”
With a stretch of his hand, the special agent was embarra.s.sed. Fangzheng was a monk, so he didn’t follow such etiquette, did he?
But at that moment, Fangzheng suddenly held the hand of the special agent. With a slight squeeze, he said, “Welcome.”
Although it was just a simple handshake, the special agent still looked gratefully at the young monk in front of him. If Fangzheng didn’t shake his hand, he would have to retract his hand with his tail between his legs. If that had happened, just thinking about it made him feel embarra.s.sed. Fangzheng’s action prevented his embarra.s.sment.
Fangzheng smiled slightly. From Fangzheng’s point of view, to help others was to help himself. It was best he didn’t embarra.s.s others at any time. Otherwise, not only would it embarra.s.s others, but it would also make him appear lacking in manners. Therefore, he immediately shook hands with the other party.
In addition, although monks placed their palms together as a greeting, such a greeting was not a constant form of etiquette. The purpose of a greeting was to make the other party feel that one respected the other party, so as to make the other party happy and deepen one’s relations.h.i.+p with them.
It wasn’t to make others feel awkward and upset because of so-called rules.
An appropriate change would not hinder Master Fangzheng’s status. On the contrary, Fangzheng’s status in the eyes of the special agent would be elevated.
The special agent thought to himself, As expected of Master Indecent. He’s always unpredictable, but I like it. Heh heh.
“Abbot Fangzheng, my surname is Chen and my name is Fan. Can we have a chat alone?” Chen Fan asked.
Fangzheng nodded and said, “Of course!”
Hence, the two walked side by side out the back door of One Finger Monastery and into the Frost Bamboo forest.
“Abbot Fangzheng, you must be the one who was involved in the Yunnan case, right?” Chen Fan suddenly asked as he walked.
Fangzheng was taken aback as he asked, “Patron, why are you asking this?”
Chen Fan smiled and said, “It’s fine. It’s just that many people are guessing. Someone saw a white-robed monk disappear into thin air.”
Fangzheng was speechless. He never expected someone to still see him despite his quick actions. However, Fangzheng didn’t mind that. It didn’t matter if he was seen. It wasn’t like he was a thief.
Chen Fan believed that Fangzheng was tacitly agreeing by not saying a word, so he asked out of curiosity, “Abbot Fangzheng, there’s something I can’t figure out. It’s also what the higher-ups want me to ask.”
“Patron Chen, feel free to ask.”
