The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

“In addition, what I want to tell you is that as far as I know, That Venerable Jingxin is already a few thousand years old, and that salted fish is considered an ancestor in the monastery. How old is he? Think about it yourself.”

“That old?” the others exclaimed.

Li Daguang continued, “In the past, I thought they were bragging or people were spouting nonsense. But from the looks of it, this matter might be true. Besides, do you really think that a twenty-year-old young monk can possess such divine powers? You have also spoken to him before. Does he really look like a twenty-year-old monk? An accomplished monk is nothing more than that!”

“Are you saying that if we are on good terms with him, we might be able to live forever?” After Baird finished speaking, he was somewhat in disbelief.

Li Daguang shook his head and said, “I don’t know, but what if?”

The few of them fell silent…

The group eventually left One Finger Village and headed straight for Songwu County to meet up with their subordinates.

Touched from finally seeing their subordinates who were either brawny or sweet and charming, they felt like crying.

When they went to One Finger Monastery, they felt that they shouldn’t act too pretentiously. If the master didn’t like it, they could forget about getting tea.

In addition, they wanted to relax in this world where security was the best—they wanted a carefree life without bodyguards.

Hence, they got their subordinates to wait in the county city. In the end… they nearly froze to death on the mountain.

This time, they had decided to bring people with them!

They even brought additional people!

Nobody could pry them away from their subordinates!

As a result, the group of subordinates felt a never-before-seen enthusiasm. Then, they were rushed to withdraw money…

Originally, it was not a big deal to withdraw money, but something happened during the withdrawal!

“How much?” the bank staff asked in surprise as she looked at the foreigners in front of her.

“A hundred million.” After Yalman finished speaking, he turned to look at Baird, who was at another counter, and asked, “Are you sure 100 million is enough? I’m afraid that this little bit of money won’t be enough.”

Nicholas also mumbled, “My granddaughter’s pocket money is more than 100 million a week. This is the first time I’ve given her so little money.”

Ottosky said, “Li, will we be looked down upon if we take out so little money?”

Li Daguang rubbed his chin and said, “Why don’t we take out more?”

…

The bank staff broke out in cold sweat upon hearing this. What kind of people were these!

If not for the fact that the other party’s bank account had an astronomical number of zeros, they would have imagined that the other party was here to play them for fools. They were prepared to call the police.

The originally carefree security guard adjusted his hat when he heard this number. He leaned over with a baton—what he assumed to be the highest level of wariness.

Although there were more than twenty black-suited men standing in front of him, as a local security guard, he had to hold the fort.

“Grandpa, are you really going to withdraw 100 million?” the staff member asked bitterly.

Li Daguang rubbed his head and said, “Is it too little? Then I’ll withdraw two hundred million.”

“Grandpa, are you… really not kidding? Actually, for such large sums of money, you can transfer it or use a check. You can…” The girl, who was serving Li Daguang, had only recently started working. She felt her lips trembling as she spoke.

Li Daguang rolled his eyes and said, “Of course I know I can transfer money and write checks. The problem is, they don’t acknowledge it! Young lady, cut the crap and quickly take out the money.”

The young lady said with a sobbing tone, “Grandpa, I’m afraid you can’t withdraw that much money. Our bank doesn’t have that much cash…”

Li Daguang was instantly dumbfounded. No cash? This…

“There’s no cash at the bank?!” Ottosky shouted in a loud voice. It shocked a policeman who was patrolling outside to rush in and check the situation.

“I was overthinking things. It’s normal for small banks in a county city to not have so much cash. It’s the same for my place,” Li Daguang smacked his head and said with a bitter smile.

“Stop shouting. It’s the same for your country!” Nicholas rolled his eyes at Ottosky.

Ottosky was speechless… It’s true that his county cities wouldn’t be capable of producing that much cash. Even their equipment wasn’t as advanced.

Scratching his head, Ottosky took back his bank card and identification card. “What do we do?”

Li Daguang said, “Rely on your own capabilities! Let’s go and get some money.”

With that said, Li Daguang left.

When the others saw this, they also left.

Seeing the gods of fortune leave, the staff at the bank heaved a sigh of relief.

“Heavens, withdrawing hundreds of millions at once. That’s enough for me to brag about for the rest of my life.”

“Me too…”

…

Li Daguang and the others had left, but someone was panicking.

“What? Those foreigners are really the bosses of world-class corporations?” Wang Yougui stood at the entrance of One Finger Monastery, his mind in a mess.

Just a moment ago, Wang Yougui came up the mountain to tell Fangzheng about the development of Frost Bamboo at the foot of the mountain. This was despite Fangzheng giving the villagers full authority over the Frost Bamboo at the foot of the mountain.

As the village chief, Wang Yougui had the authority.

However, Wang Yougui still remembered the old secretary, Tan Juguo’s words. Humans must not forget their past. They had to be grateful.

Regardless of the Frost Bamboo or the bamboo carving, Wang Yougui knew that it was all given by Fangzheng.

Although they had a good relationship with Fangzheng, even brothers needed to do clean accounts between themselves.

Frost Bamboo’s value rose higher and higher, and the profits involved increased. However, the more that was the case, the more he remembered that the item belonged to Fangzheng. He would always inform him when he needed to use it.

Therefore, when Wang Yougui came, he encountered a depressed Salted Fish who was sighing at the door about the money that had flown away.

After chatting with Salted Fish, Wang Yougui learned of the identity of Baird and company. He immediately regretted his actions.

Up till now, he still remembered Li Daguang shouting the moment he entered his yard. “Who’s the village chief? I want to donate 100 million USD to the village. How do I donate it?”

His reply back then seemed to be: “Are you a cheat?”

Then, he chased him away…

Regret…

Unfortunately, it was too late for regret.

Wang Yougui told Fangzheng about his experience and said bitterly, “Sigh, tell me… Why didn’t I figure out the situation before I said those words?.”

Fangzheng chuckled and said, “There are bound to be things in life that belong to you. There’s no need to force what’s not yours.”

Wang Yougui said, “Can’t you say something more understandable?”

Fangzheng said, “Patron Wang, you are a fool! It’s clearly a good thing. Why couldn’t you ask clearly? Serves you right for chasing them away the moment you spoke.”

Wang Yougui’s face turned black. “Perhaps it’s better to say something more esoteric.”

Fangzheng said, “Patron Wang, do you know what sound a goose makes?”

Wang Yougui shook his head and asked, “What sound does it make?”

Fangzheng said, “Jingkuan, teach him.”

Monkey widened his mouth. “(Serves you) ‘ight!”
