The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

“Master, in your state just now, you stepped into the Dao by having your mind as clear as a mirror, right?” asked Red Boy.

Fangzheng said, “That’s right. This is also the most difficult state to grasp.”

Red Boy narrowed his eyes. “Master, I have a way. Perhaps it will help you.”

Fangzheng said in surprise, “You have a solution? Speak!”

Red Boy said, “There’s something on the Internet. Let me tell you…”

Red Boy whispered into Fangzheng’s ear.

The next moment, Fangzheng mounted Lone Wolf and grabbed Salted Fish. He shouted, “Jingxin, stop right there!”

Red Boy ran…

A grand chase erupted.

Squirrel asked Monkey with an adorable look, “Junior Brother, what do you think Fourth Junior Brother said? Master’s face has turned red.”

Monkey said, “I don’t know either. Just one sentence and it made Master so embarrassed and angry. Fourth Junior Brother is walking further and further on the road to courting death. The lot of us can’t compare with him!”

Squirrel said, “…Junior Brother, what lot are you talking about?”

A dark cloud hung over Monkey’s head instantly. “I’m using ancient prose.”

Squirrel said in surprise, “Junior Brother, when did you learn ancient prose?”

Monkey said, “Senior Brother, can we focus on the main point?”

Squirrel: “Alright, what were we talking about?”

Monkey: “…”

…

News of Fangzheng coming out of seclusion swept like a mini-storm that blew in every direction. As more and more people participated, the storm intensified.

Perhaps people were worried about Fangzheng, the number one divine monk and indecent monk, as well as his divine powers, the number of thieves that came to the mountain to steal instantly vanished.

Or perhaps…

“Big Brother, there are so many people. Will we make it up alive?” A thief looked up at the densely packed mountain and asked bitterly while they moved half a step after hours.

His big brother rubbed his head and said, “I don’t know if we can reach the summit alive. I’m just afraid that when I come down, I’ll die of old age… Forget it, let’s go back first. We can wait until this wave of popularity is over.”

…

“Oh? There are still people targeting One Finger Monastery?” Fangzheng asked in surprise. Back when he was in Italy, it was not only to force them to admit their mistakes but also to flaunt his strength.

Sure enough, after that incident, there was almost no one who tried to scheme against him.

He imagined that would be an end to the matter, but in the end, someone actually came to cause trouble.

Red Boy said, “That’s right. From what those thieves said, they must have come from America. I’ve investigated in detail, and I heard that an organization by the name Overmars is behind the scenes. Master, let me go. Give me three days. I guarantee that those who are messing around will be thrown into a pot and stewed.”

Fangzheng rolled his eyes at him and said, “Don’t just think of using violence or killing. That’s not what a Buddhist disciple should think.”

Red Boy said, “Master, are we just going to watch and do nothing?”

Fangzheng said, “The Buddha Says: You can’t kill, but you can disgust him.”

Salted Fish suddenly looked up. “Master, which Buddha said that? Despite all my years in front of Buddha, I haven’t…”

Fangzheng pricked up his brows and asked, “Oh?”

Salted Fish immediately snapped back to his senses and said, “I remember now. Buddha did say those words back then. It left a deep impression.”

Fangzheng said, “Look, since Buddha has already said so, this matter is decided. Leave and let This Penniless Monk think about it. Be quiet.”

Red Boy and company immediately retreated.

Squirrel asked in confusion, “Senior Brothers, isn’t Master trying to disgust them? Why did he tell us to leave? What is he going to do?”

Lone Wolf said, “He’s probably preparing to cause pandemonium.”

Monkey nodded as well.

…

Fangzheng sat in the house and thought about it. He could personally go to America to create trouble.

However, Fangzheng had been out recently. He was already tired from all the traveling, so he didn’t feel like going.

At that moment, Fangzheng shot a glance at the cell phone that Red Boy had returned him. His eyes lit up as he mumbled. “Since This Penniless Monk can crawl through the phone line, then… Hehe.”

Fangzheng smiled and took the cell phone. “Phone, can you find the Overmars family’s number?”

“Found the office number to the Overmars family’s head. Would you like to make the call now?”

Fangzheng snapped his fingers when he heard that. Indeed, this smartphone was awesome!

It defended against hackers, provided anti-hacker capabilities, and could even be a hacker!

Twelve likes!

Fangzheng said, “Make the call. This Penniless Monk wants to have a chat with him.”

After some ringing…

“Hello, I’m Jaime Overmars.”

Fangzheng felt a little excited when the call connected.

As a civilized child from the Chinese civilization that had lived for five thousand years, he cleared his throat and said in a gentle tone, “Dear Mr. Overmars, nice to meet you. I’m the abbot of China’s One Finger Monastery, Fangzheng. This Penniless Monk is looking for you…”

“Sorry, I don’t know you. I’ll hang up first.”

Then, the other party hung up.

Fangzheng’s expression froze on the spot as he said, “Continue calling.”

“Hello, I’m China’s One Finger Monastery’s abbot, Fangzheng,” said Fangzheng.

“I’m warning you, don’t disturb me! It’s my private resting time now, so I don’t take any calls!” Overmars was furious!

Then, Jaime hung up.

Fangzheng’s face turned ashen as he thought to himself, “He’s not letting me get down to business!”

He continued to call!

“Kid, you are harassing a gentleman and a beautiful lady’s conversation! I’m very angry with what you’re doing!” Overmars said as soon as he picked up the phone.

Fangzheng said, “Kid! Can you hear what I have to say?”

“Are you a beauty?” Overmars asked.

“No, you can tell from the voice.” Fangzheng answered honestly.

“Then, goodbye!” Overmars decisively hung up.

Fangzheng scratched his bald head and cursed inwardly. F**k, what kind of family head is this? He’s too unreliable!”

He continued to call!

This time, Fangzheng did not wait for the person opposite him to speak. He first said, “Mr. Overmars, This Penniless Monk has a lot of evidence that you have been instigating people to steal from This Penniless Monk’s mountain. Are you going to do something about it?”

“Are you American?” Jaime asked.

“No, I’m Chinese.”

Jaime said, “Then look for your Chinese government. Also, don’t disturb me anymore! This is your final warning. Otherwise, I’ll call the police. The police will arrest you!”

Fangzheng was infuriated as well. He asked, “Are you China’s President?”

“No.”

“Then who are you trying to scare? I don’t know who ordered those people. All I can do is find you, the family head. If you don’t resolve it for me, I’ll keep calling you!” Fangzheng threatened.

Fangzheng had also thought of seeking help from the Chinese government, but this matter involved transnational matters. It was impossible for China to do anything.

As for seeking help from a diplomat?

Fangzheng knew very well that with America’s attitude, they would definitely not bother!

Furthermore, people who could afford to pay such a high price were definitely not simple people in America. It was even possible that they were extremely powerful.
