The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

The policeman asked, “Abbot Fangzheng?”

Brother Wolf shook his head and said, “No, his disciple, Jingxin.”

The police quickly checked on the Internet and then showed Jingxin’s adorable photos to Brother Wolf. He asked, “Are you sure you were beaten up by this one-meter-tall little fellow?”

His eyes burned with rage when he saw his enemy. Brother Wolf shouted, “Don’t be fooled by his size. He’s very fierce when he gets violent! Look at how I got beaten up; I even lost one tooth! More importantly, he even cheated me of 100 yuan.”

The two policemen exchanged looks and shook their heads, mumbling. “He went crazy… Poor thing…”

“I’m telling the truth!” Brother Wolf shouted as the police car left.

…

Meanwhile, in One Finger Monastery.

“Jingxin, what did you go down the mountain for?” Fangzheng asked as he looked at the smug Red Boy.

Red Boy’s eyes darted around when he heard that. “Nothing much.”

“Are you sure?”

Red Boy felt a little guilty, but he couldn’t say that he had gone down the mountain to beat someone. He knew that if he were to confess, it was likely that he would be beaten up. Therefore, he hurriedly shook his head and refused to admit it.

Red Boy drank some water to conceal his nervousness.

Fangzheng nodded. “Jingkuan, what were you so excited about just now?”

Squirrel, who was sitting at the top of the wall, waving his tiny paws excitedly, said, “Nothing happened?”

“Didn’t you say you saw something at the foot of the mountain?” asked Fangzheng.

Red Boy’s heart tightened when he heard that.

Monkey, Lone Wolf, Salted Fish, and Squirrel knew that he was going to beat someone up.

Only Fangzheng did not know…

Therefore, he could understand why Squirrel had secretly followed him down the mountain to watch the show.

However, he knew one thing better. This squirrel was… unreliable!

All he could do was silently hope that the punk could be smarter and not be a loudmouth. He kept signaling Squirrel with his eyes.

Squirrel immediately understood. He nodded slightly and returned a reassuring look before saying, “Master, I didn’t see Junior Brother beat someone up at the foot of the mountain. Junior Brother has already stopped beating people up.”

As soon as that was said…

Pfft!

Red Boy spat out a mouthful of water before cursing, “Jingkuan, you idiot!”

At the same time, Red Boy ran!

Fangzheng sneered. “Jingfa!”

Lone Wolf rushed over and shouted, “The bus has arrived!”

Fangzheng rode on him and shouted, “Jingzhi!”

Salted Fish immediately ran over and leaped into the air. He shouted, “Kill him!”

Fangzheng grabbed the fish tail with one hand and began the pursuit…

“Master, I was wrong!” Red Boy shouted when he saw Fangzheng chase after him.

Dong!

Fangzheng smacked Red Boy on the head with Salted Fish. “Do you still want to lie?”

“I won’t lie!” shouted Red Boy.

“It’s not enough, Salted Fish. Use more strength!” Fangzheng shouted loudly.

Salted Fish opened his mouth and shouted. “No problem. However, Master, this fellow is so hard. I can’t bite through him!”

“That’s your problem. What I want is the outcome!”

When Salted Fish heard that, he asked, “Can it be a little more disgusting?”

“I can’t see.”

Red Boy suddenly had an ominous feeling as he yelled, “What are you doing?”

He saw Salted Fish open his mouth long and wide before shooting his tongue out and licking Red Boy!

Red Boy cursed when he saw this. “Can you be any more disgusting?”

As he spoke, Red Boy hurriedly dodged.

Salted Fish laughed out loud. “As you wish. Take my phlegm! Cough…”

Salted Fish began to condense the power of the phlegm…

Red Boy immediately felt disgusted when he heard that. He hurriedly took out the hundred yuan from his pocket and shouted, “Master! I’ll hand over the hundred yuan!”

Salted Fish said, “There’s nothing you can do now! Have a taste of my phlegm!”

Before Salted Fish could spit it out, he heard Fangzheng shout, “Shut up! Stop!”

Salted Fish’s original spitting immediately turned into vomiting…

Then, Salted Fish went to find a place to retch…

Red Boy hurriedly handed the hundred yuan to Fangzheng and said, “Master, this is something I earned from leading the way. I’ll give it to you, alright?”

Fangzheng took it over and took a look before saying in all seriousness, “Jingxin, do you think you can resolve your mistake by giving me money? If things are so easily resolved, why do we need the police?”

Red Boy nodded like a chicken pecking at grain, as he repeatedly agreed.

Fangzheng continued, “Therefore, don’t just use money when you are in trouble. Can I take your money?”

As he spoke, Fangzheng stuffed the money into his pocket. Then, he said, “However, on account that you have handed it over and are extremely sincere, I will reluctantly accept it. It must not happen again.”

Red Boy rolled his eyes when he heard that. He cursed inwardly.

Fangzheng said, “It’s not that I’m being harsh on you. You mustn’t lie. However, on account of the fact that you have repented, forget it. I’ll put this matter to rest. This must not happen again, understand?”

What could Red Boy say? All he could do was continue nodding.

After settling everything, Fangzheng patted Lone Wolf on the head and said, “Let’s go back to the monastery!”

Then, Lone Wolf howled and ran off.

After a while, Salted Fish came over. “Why didn’t you mention that you got a hundred yuan earlier? Give me fifty yuan, and I won’t spit at you. We could have done the slow nimble. Wouldn’t that be profitable?”

Red Boy shot a glance at him and chuckled. Then, he ran off and chased after Fangzheng. As he ran, he shouted, “Master, Salted Fish said that he wants fifty, and he will go easy! I have a recording. I definitely am not maligning him!”

Salted Fish cursed when he heard that. “F**k!”

Then, Salted Fish ran off…

Almost at the same time, Fangzheng returned riding Lone Wolf. Sitting in front of him was Red Boy. Red Boy roared as he brandished his leather whip and yelled, “Woah! Run faster!”

…

The master and disciples fooled around for more than an hour before they finally returned to the monastery after smelling the fragrance of rice.

As the door closed, One Finger Monastery welcomed its most peaceful time of the day.

There was no noise, only peace and tranquility.

After dinner, Fangzheng led Lone Wolf, Monkey, Red Boy, Salted Fish, and Squirrel to take a stroll on the mountain. They looked at the stars and looked at the distant mountains. They were quite carefree as they enjoyed the breeze.

“Master, the new year is over. Don’t you want to see how much we have?” Squirrel ran to Fangzheng’s shoulder and asked curiously.

Fangzheng shook his head and said, “The year is over. What’s the point of looking at it again? Keep it… When we are in a good mood one day and have accumulated enough, pour it out together and show it to everyone. That will enliven the mood.”

Squirrel said, “Alright, I still want to see how much money we have. Then, we can split some money to buy some pine nuts.”

Fangzheng smiled. “All you think about is food.”

Squirrel stuck out his tongue…

Fangzheng originally believed that it was a quiet night, but Fangzheng seemed to be overthinking…
