The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Chapter 1464: Fangzheng Is Coming Out

“Heh heh...” A woman’s laughter suddenly sounded.

Fangzheng suddenly got up from the stove bed and surveyed his surroundings. There was no one around.

“Is it a dream? Or is there really a woman laughing?” Fangzheng wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He pushed open the door and walked out. He circled the monastery but did not see anyone else.

Lone Wolf had always been alert, but today, he was sleeping like a dead dog.

Even Red Boy, who had been playing with the cell phone all night, slept soundly.

Fangzheng scratched his head and mumbled. “Am I possessed?”

“Heh heh...” The female voice sounded again. From the direction of the voice, Fangzheng could tell that it was coming from the temple hall!

Fangzheng immediately rushed to the front yard and saw a woman appear beneath the bodhi tree. She was dressed in a long red dress and her hair was disheveled. She could not see her face clearly...

Fangzheng pressed his palms together. “Amitabha. Female Ghost Patron, is there something you need?”

The woman’s body stiffened, and then she shouted angrily, “You’re the female ghost! I’m human!”

As she spoke, the woman tidied her hair and tied it into a ponytail. Fangzheng focused his gaze and saw that it was indeed a person!

However, what kind of normal person would come to a monk’s temple in the middle of the night? Furthermore, her hair was disheveled and she was dressed in red. Why would she chuckle for no good reason?

Under the moonlight, Fangzheng saw the woman’s pretty face. She had willowy eyebrows and cherry lips. She didn’t have a big nose, but a tiny nose. She looked very adorable. Her eyes were huge, like the stars in the sky. It was as though they were sparkling.

For some reason, Fangzheng found the girl familiar, but he could not recall where he had seen her before.

Fangzheng asked, “Patron, have we met before?”

The girl put her hands behind her back playfully and walked in front of Fangzheng. She bent over and moved closer, making her face appear bigger in front of Fangzheng. Then, she said with a playful smile, “Why? Have you forgotten me so quickly? We have met before...”

Fangzheng wore a puzzled look. They have met each other before? When?

“Not only have I met you, I watched you grow up,” the girl said.

Fangzheng’s face turned even darker. Watched him grow up? How was that possible? Hence, he pressed his palms together. “Amitabha. Patron, please don’t joke with This Penniless Monk. This Penniless Monk really doesn’t remember you...”

The girl rolled her eyes. “Who’s joking with you? Fangzheng, you are a bad person! A big baddy!”

Fangzheng was dumbfounded. He was a bad person? In the past two years, this was the first time someone had said that of him. Fangzheng pressed his palms together and said, “Amitabha. Patron, if you wish to pay respects to Buddha, you can enter the temple hall. If there’s nothing else, This Penniless Monk will be going to bed.”

As he spoke, Fangzheng shot a glance at the temple hall before standing rooted to the ground as though he had been struck by lightning. It was as though he had seen something unbelievable.

Following that, he heard the girl whisper into his ear, “You only know how to sleep. You pig! It’s daybreak...”

At the next moment, Fangzheng heard Red Boy’s voice. “Master, Master, Master! Quickly take a look at the news! Something big has happened!”

Following that, Fangzheng turned his head and saw a skeleton approaching him...

Wow!

Fangzheng exclaimed and suddenly sat up. He realized that everything that had happened was a dream!

At that moment, the door opened. Red Boy ran in and said, “Master! Quickly take a look at the news. It’s huge! Uh Master, why are you sweating so much?”

Fangzheng wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, “It’s probably because the weather is too hot. Why? What’s the big news?”

Red Boy did not think too much of it. After all, from what he knew, no one in this world could harm the darn baldy. Hence, he handed the cell phone to Fangzheng and said, “Take a look for yourself.”

Fangzheng took it over and saw the content: “Fangzheng is a thief, an illegal immigrant. Many countries have negotiated and have requested the Chinese government to hand over Fangzheng for trial.”

China replied: “Our citizens will not be extradited. If he had been an illegal immigrant, pass the sentence on your own.”

There was very little content, but Fangzheng knew that the lesser the content, the more important the news was. Therefore, it was unlikely that the matter would be easily resolved.

Fangzheng smacked his lips and mumbled inwardly. When did the crime of illegal immigration become so serious? Don’t they usually deport them? This Penniless Monk has already returned to the country, so there’s no need for them to help, right?

Red Boy said, “Master, you are in high demand.”

Fangzheng rubbed his glabella and said, “How am in high demand? All of them treat me as Tripiṭaka and wish to eat my flesh. They all want to benefit from me...”

“Master, what do you plan on doing? Even if everyone doesn’t know that you are back, it’s still troublesome to just stay here. Why don’t we continue acting dead? After all, no one really saw us,” Red Boy said.

Fangzheng shook his head and said, “It’s not that simple. Sometimes, politicians are lunatics. What if they end up fighting? When the time comes, karma might befall me... War. No matter when, the unlucky ones are the commoners and soldiers.”

“Then...” Red Boy was at a loss for words.

Fangzheng smiled. “I originally wanted to keep a low profile and use my actions to tell the world that I’m not interested in being a hegemon. I only want to be an honest monk. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to be an honest person...”

“Master, what do you mean?” Red Boy’s eyes lit up.

Fangzheng said, “There are two ways in the world to make one repent. One is to reform them, and the other is to scare them to tears. Since reforming doesn’t work, let’s scare them to tears!”

Red Boy laughed. “Master, what should we do next?”

After some thought, Fangzheng said to Red Boy, “Before we do it, you have to help me confirm a piece of news. What was seen yesterday. I’m not sure of the exact location...”

...

“You lost Abbot Fangzheng just like that? Couldn’t you just get someone to finish that trash master? Do you have a brain?”

In a villa somewhere in Beijing, Jing Yan struck Jing Yulong’s head with her high heels. Jing Yulong grimaced in pain.

However, his forehead wasn’t bleeding or red. Clearly, Jing Yan was just going through the motion. Jing Yulong was just pretending to be in pain...

However, Jing Yan was really angry. She had finally found Fangzheng, but Jing Yulong had lost him!

Jing Yulong said, “Sis, can you blame me for that? You don’t know how bad that fake master was. Thankfully, I went early. If he were to perform in front of everyone, China’s calligraphy would have become a global laughing stock. Back then, I never expected Abbot Fangzheng to run away just like that...”

“Are you a pig? He had already expressed his stance, but you still didn’t believe him? Why do you have to see the calligraphy before believing him? What kind of brains do you have?” Jing Yan was so angry that she felt like slamming him with a hammer.

At that moment, Jing Yuhang ran in and said excitedly, “There’s news of Master!”
