The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Chapter 1401: Really Not on Purpose

Fangzheng shook his head. “My dear disciple, there are some things you do not understand.”

Red Boy said, “Indeed, I don’t understand. Master, can you explain?”

Fangzheng said, “If This Penniless Monk doesn’t ascend, this world will probably never be at peace.”

Red Boy was stunned. “Why?”

Fangzheng said, “That was such a huge commotion. To resist the forces of nature and save everyone, with such terrifying strength, what do you think people will think if I continue to exist in the human world?”

Red Boy shook his head in puzzlement.

Fangzheng said, “Ordinary people will begin relying on divine powers. To put it bluntly, if something were to happen, This Penniless Monk would probably be scolded and cursed if This Penniless Monk didn’t save them.”

Red Boy said, “Master, with your thick skin, you shouldn’t blame yourself for something like this. You wouldn’t have any reaction towards such scolding, right?”

Fangzheng raised his hand and smacked him. “This has nothing to do with how thick-skinned I am. It’s just that I don’t want them to overly rely on others and divine powers. I hope that they can rely on themselves more. This is also the reason why my monastery doesn’t accept human disciples. If they believe in the idol, they forget about themselves. They seek help from the idol, forgetting that they are Buddha too. I can’t turn them into Buddha, but I should at least give them a chance to become Buddha, right?”

Red Boy was in thought as he asked, “What else? There’s more than that, right?”

Fangzheng said, “It’s best if one’s strength doesn’t surpass the laws of the world.”

Red Boy said, “Then what has that got to do with your strength? It’s not like you will destroy the world.”

Fangzheng continued shaking his head. “At times, when one’s attitude is balanced, it’s more important than true balance. Besides, the ruler of any world doesn’t wish for anyone to break the balance of the world. Even if the Chinese government doesn’t care about it, what about the governments of the other countries? Fear will only make them prepare for war. The outcome of preparing for war will definitely be war, and it will ultimately lead to a tragic outcome. Perhaps I’m overthinking things, but it’s always good to be on guard. Alright, let’s not talk about this and prepare to move.”

“Master, where are we going?” Red Boy was very curious.

Fangzheng scratched his head and said, “I don’t know either. Most importantly, my divine powers are random, but no matter what, I’ll know once I try.”

Fangzheng couldn’t bear to leave this place, but when he cast the Surgent Golden Lotus, he became more open-minded. With divine powers, he could indeed do more for people. Besides, if One Finger Monastery didn’t move away, the development here wouldn’t stop. Instead, he would be disturbed and not have peace. He might as well leave.

Therefore, Fangzheng locked Mt. One Finger on the Mountain Moving Treasure Wheel and gave a thought: “Move!”

At the same time, in America’s White House, a group of people surrounded a table in discussion.

“We must not be weak in this round of negotiations. It’s imperative that we gain the biggest benefits for our country. We must get the medical skills, the divine powers, everything.”

“That’s right. We can’t change our attitude because they have a monk. It will make them think that we fear them.”

“Maintain your unyielding attitude and force.”

“I support it!”

“We must let everyone understand who is the most powerful country in the world!”

“Keep our nation great!”

…

BOOM!

At that moment, there was a loud bang. Everyone was shocked to discover that something had blocked the window!

Everyone hurriedly ran out to check on the situation. They saw a huge mountain that reached into the clouds crashing outside the White House. If it had been slightly askewed…

Everyone broke out in cold sweat.

“This… seems to be Mt. One Finger.”

“Where did it come from?”

“Sir, it fell from the sky too quickly. All the departments couldn’t react in time.”

“Sir, I feel that our discussion needs to be done with sincerity in the interests of humanity.”

“The world is one, so naturally we need harmony… Isn’t that what China said?”

“Yes, harmony.”

“Then long live harmony!”

“Should we go up and take a look?”

“Could it be that Fangzheng hasn’t left yet?”

“Let’s go up and take a look.”

“Let’s take a look. Otherwise, I can’t feel at ease.”

…

Just when they were dumbfounded,

On the mountaintop, Fangzheng and company were dumbfounded.

Everyone looked at Red Boy’s only strand of hair standing erect. Salted Fish smacked his lips and said, “Master, didn’t you say that it would be darn stable?”

Red Boy chuckled. “Yes, it’s stable when you land. But who can tell me why we fell from a height of ten thousand meters? Also, Jingkuan, can you lower your voice? You gave me a fright!”

Squirrel said pitifully, “I never expected it to be like that. It’s so high… I was afraid.”

Fangzheng blushed slightly. “A mistake. A mistake. I never expected such an outcome.”

“Master, I went to take a look. It didn’t hit anyone, and we didn’t manage to crash open a hole in the ground. It was indeed a stable landing. However, it seems like we have unhappy neighbors!” Lone Wolf ran back to report.

When Fangzheng heard that, he rushed to the side of the cliff and secretly peeked his bald head down. When he saw it, a dark cloud hung over Fangzheng’s head as he mumbled, “Why… Why are we here in America?”

Looking at the buildings beside the mountain and the distance between them, Fangzheng’s head broke out in cold sweat. “Amitabha. I nearly wiped out the upper echelons of America. Quickly run…”

With that said, Fangzheng waved his hand and once again activated the Mountain Moving Treasure Wheel. In the next moment, Mt. One Finger rose into the sky with a boom!

The leaders who had just finished packing up and were preparing to meet them formally were instantly dumbfounded. They stared fixedly at the mountain flying up into the sky like a rocket, then disappeared amidst a blob of yellow light.

Everyone exchanged glances.

“It’s a threat, a blatant threat!” someone said.

“I think so too.”

“Shut up! Who the hell can escape that thing if he drops down again?”

“Harmony, harmony… long live harmony.”

“Yes, yes, yes…”

“Remember, make the media shut up!”

“Sir, there’s a piece of strange news. The guard outside the White House did not see the mountain fall, but he saw a mountain beside us. Also, the fence was crushed. Your car was one of them…”

“Does that mean the media doesn’t know?”

“The mountain only existed for a short period of time. Everyone probably only saw him appear, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye. We can say that it’s a mirage.”

“Okay, use that story… Also, remind the diplomats to be harmonious! Harmonious!”

…

Fangzheng did not know that his unintentional actions ended up leading to misunderstandings. However, the influence of this misunderstanding was far-reaching. The two nations had completely put down their facades and communicated with each other properly. The principles of peace, fairness, and so on ended up benefiting humanity.
