“How can there be so many dark sides? Abbot Fangzheng said that we should look at the sun and not the darkness,” said Huang Ran.

“Alright, I know you are Abbot Fangzheng’s fan, but there’s no point in quoting him all the time. How about it? Are we going up?” asked Zhang Yan.

Brother Nan said, “Let’s go up and take a look. The mountain is still in its original primitive state. It’s really disgusting to see it being affected like this. Expose him. If he had not gone through the proper procedure, we will let the government demolish him. If the paperwork is complete, let’s just treat it as free advertising for him.”

After being looked down upon by Zhang Yan, Huang Ran immediately realized that he was wrong and changed his mind. “Yes, regardless, let’s go up and take a look.”

Hence, the few of them immediately made their way up the mountain.

As they walked, Huang Ran mumbled, “Why do I find this place so familiar…”

“You’ve entered a mountain?” Brother Nan asked.

Huang Ran shook his head.

Brother Nan said, “Then I understand. This is a typical mistake. Many people find their surroundings familiar when they enter mountains. So… the average person will get lost when they walk into mountains.”

Huang Ran nodded. He felt that it made sense and didn’t think too much about it.

Upon reaching the top of the mountain, the three of them were dumbfounded.

“That’s… Frost Bamboo?” Huang Ran pointed at a lush bamboo forest in the distance and exclaimed.

Brother Nan shook his head and said, “That’s impossible. One Finger Monastery has flown away, and there is no Frost Bamboo in the world. The remaining Frost Bamboo tea has now been raised to a million per gram, and it’s priceless. The Frost Bamboo tea is not used for drinking, but collection. Also, regardless of the quality, those Frost Bamboo products are extremely expensive… If this were Mt. One Finger, seeing Frost Bamboo wouldn’t be anything. As for here… it’s impossible.”

Huang Ran rubbed his eyes and looked carefully before saying, “But this bamboo forest really looks like Frost Bamboo from afar.”

“As you say, it just looks like it. This is the south. There are bamboo forests in the south. Is it strange? Besides, One Finger Monastery is a mortal paradise. Look at this… Uh, f*ck. There really is a monastery here!” Brother Nan was stunned.

Zhang Yan had already covered her mouth and was in a daze. When she heard Brother Nan say that, she took the topic and asked, “Do you find the layout here similar to One Finger Monastery?”

Huang Ran smacked his head and exclaimed, “When I came up the mountain, I found it familiar. The railings and rocks on the ground look very similar to One Finger Monastery’s! I can’t say they look identical, but they really do look like it! Look at this mountain. It’s a monastery and behind it is Frost Bamboo. However, there’s no Heavenly Dragon Pond or the Bridge of Helplessness or the bell tower drum tower… Other than that, the most eye-catching things are the stone slabs… Look, there’s really stone slabs there!”

Everyone looked over and indeed saw the stone slabs.

Brother Nan stroked his chin and said, “In that case, someone has constructed a monastery according to One Finger Monastery’s template. Clearly, we came early. They only built the staircase, imitation stone slabs, a rundown monastery, and a bamboo forest. There’s not enough time to do the rest… If someone really is willing to spend a lot of money to imitate One Finger Monastery’s architecture, tsk… Even if it’s not used for scamming, just using it as a tourist attraction will earn them a lot of money.”

“What kind of person is Abbot Fangzheng? He’s a living Bodhisattva. People are actually trying to benefit from using him? This is intolerable! Let’s go and take a look! I won’t allow these people with improper thoughts to do what they do.” Although Huang Ran had a head of yellow hair, he wasn’t a gangster deep down. He only liked the color. He vibrated his muscles and strode over.

Zhang Yan and Brother Nan exchanged looks and followed suit. At the same time, they took photos as they walked, leaving some evidence behind. They would post it online when they returned.

As the trio walked, they observed the surrounding scenery. The more they looked, the more they felt that it was an imitation of Mt. One Finger.

“To think these people actually found a mountain that looks similar to Mt. One Finger. Look at the monastery’s location. Look at the back mountain. It’s exactly the same.” The more Huang Ran said, the angrier he got. Huang Ran didn’t believe in Buddha, but he believed in heroes. The Fangzheng in his eyes was a hero who would punish evil and save millions of people from the earthquake!

The hero in his heart could not be tainted by others, not at all!

A flame of justice burned as he walked faster and faster. Finally, he came to the door. When he looked up, his anger burned even more as he cursed. “A bodhi tree… These bastards really plagiarized everything! They even got a bodhi! Why didn’t they plant the Luohan Tree at the entrance? F**k, if I see someone, I’ll definitely curse them to death!”

“Not only the bodhi tree, but look at the signboard, it’s actually called One Finger Temple! This… No matter how thick-skinned this person is, he might as well just call it One Finger Monastery!” Zhang Yan was infuriated as well.

Brother Nan said angrily, “Abbot Fangzheng saved so many people. He’s a hero. Someone is actually trying to use a hero for sensationalization and earn money. This person is too shameless!”

“Exactly!” Huang Ran said.

“How shameless! We can’t hide this matter. Let’s expose him!” Zhang Yan shouted as well.

Upon hearing the trio clamor outside, the three heads above the wall exchanged looks. Lone Wolf said, “Master is probably in trouble.”

Monkey narrowed his eyes and said, “In this world, the hardest to deal with isn’t bad people, but good people who have preconceived notions and are incapable of investigation… Sigh, you can’t hit such people because he did it out of good intentions. But you can’t explain it clearly, so you are destined to be left with nothing… I wonder how Master will deal with these three people.”

Squirrel said, “If it were me, I wouldn’t open the door.”

Monkey shook his head and said, “That doesn’t match Master’s character. Besides, if the three of them can’t enter, they might climb over the wall. In their eyes, as long as they are doing it for good, anything they do is right. Even beating you up would be for your own good.”

Squirrel broke out into a cold sweat when he heard that. “That terrifying?”

Monkey said, “Hmm, it will only be more terrifying. Therefore, Master always said that you must slow down when doing things. The more agitated you are, the slower you should be. After calmly analyzing matters, only then do you consider whether you should do it or not.”

Squirrel said, “Junior Brother, you are amazing. You know everything.”

Monkey squinted his eyes in enjoyment.

Lone Wolf smacked his lips and asked, “Junior Brother, do you know the taste of shit?”

Monkey: “…”

Monkey held it in for a long while before saying, “Eldest Senior Brother, you are still the most knowledgeable.”

Lone Wolf raised his head proudly. He looked as though he was truly impressive and worthy of being the eldest senior brother.

At the same time, the monastery’s door opened.

“The door is open!” Huang Ran shouted excitedly.

At the same time, the trio looked angrily behind the door. They saw an elderly monk slowly appear in front of them.

Seeing that it was an old man, they didn’t manage to spew out their flames of rage which had reached their mouths… After all, they had to respect the elderly.

“Amitabha. Patrons, are you here to pay your respects to Buddha?” the old monk kindly asked.
