The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

When Jing Yan saw this, she stomped her feet in anger and shouted, “Fangzheng, you bastard! I came running all the way here in the middle of the night not to hear you say that!”

“Oh… Good night!”

“Damnit!”

…

After Fangzheng left, Jing Yan silently held her arms as she stood on the mountain and took in the cold wind alone.

When Old Miao saw that Fangzheng was gone and there weren’t any more problems, he went over and asked, “Jing Yan, Master has left. What are you doing here?”

Jing Yan said, “Don’t say anything. Let me calm down. I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold back and end up burning down this temple.”

Old Miao immediately shut his mouth and waited obediently.

On one side was Miss Jing Yan, while the other was a mystical monk, Fangzheng. He decisively chose not to provoke anyone. Although he knew that Jing Yan was only speaking out of anger, it was best not to provoke women, especially when she appeared to be in a bad mood.

When Jing Yan turned around, Old Miao leaned over and asked, “What do we do now?”

Jing Yan said, “Report the news to everyone that nothing happened tonight. The darn baldy is sleeping!”

Old Miao was stunned. “This…”

Jing Yan said, “To be honest… Perhaps it will blow up in popularity. After all, everyone thinks that tonight is the night… Forget it, I won’t post it. Since I can’t sleep tonight, I can’t let those fellows sleep peacefully. If I’m to suffer from insomnia, all of us shall suffer from insomnia together!”

Therefore, Jing Yan found a place to write her script. The world was filled with curious ones sitting in front of their computers or cell phones, waiting for news related to Fangzheng. That night, countless people suffered from insomnia. Countless people cursed, “Fangzheng, f**k you!”

That night, Fangzheng slept soundly. He woke up early the next day to strike the bell and drum. A new day had begun.

However, when Fangzheng came down from the drum tower, Jing Yan was already waiting downstairs with Old Miao.

Fangzheng looked at Jing Yan, who had a dewy eyebrow. He said in surprise, “Patron, did you stay on the mountain the entire night?”

Jing Yan said tiredly, “Make a guess? Forget it, quickly answer my question. How are you going to expel the doctors who didn’t go to the western region? Also, there’s a theory on the Internet. They feel that what you do is a form of moral blackmail. This does not match your usual style. What do you think?”

Fangzheng immediately shrugged helplessly when he heard that. “This Penniless Monk believes that moral blackmail is built under the condition that This Penniless Monk does not pay any price while forcing others to do things that they do not like from a moral high ground. However, This Penniless Monk has paid the price of a treasure that every country in the world is jealous of. And the price is to spend three years to aid the western region. Is that too much?

“On the contrary, if This Penniless Monk was willing, This Penniless Monk only needs to say that those who provide assistance to the people in the western region for three years can learn This Penniless Monk’s medical skills when they return, how many people would be willing to go?

There’s nothing in the world that can be obtained without any effort. This Penniless Monk only needs to collect some fees. Besides, this fee builds merit for them…”

Jing Yan nodded slightly. “Then, what if they don’t go? They have already learned the medical skills. You don’t seem to have any ability to restrict them. Although you have divine powers, the law doesn’t allow you to harm them, right?”

Fangzheng shrugged. “Why would This Penniless Monk harm them? They aren’t in the wrong. Everyone has the right to make choices in their own lives. In fact, if they read This Penniless Monk’s medical skills on the stone slab, it means that their characters aren’t bad. It’s just that their life choices are in conflict with This Penniless Monk.”

Jing Yan nodded slightly. “Indeed, I know a doctor. He’s not a bad person, but he has his own reasons. Therefore, he can’t go to the west.”

Fangzheng said, “That’s why This Penniless Monk will only take back what they learned. At the same time, This Penniless Monk will set up an eighth stone slab. The stone slab will have a deeper level of medical skills. All the ailments in the world can be treated using the medical foundations on this eighth stone slab. This Penniless Monk believes that only those who pass the test are qualified to learn such medical skills.”

The moment that was said, Jing Yan was taken aback. Then, she suddenly turned her head and said to the camera, “Dear viewers, you heard it. Abbot Fangzheng said it himself. He will set up an eighth stone slab…”

Fangzheng was instantly dumbfounded when he heard that. It seemed like he had made a mistake bragging in the morning! Jing Yan wasn’t doing an interview, but a live broadcast!

Fangzheng immediately felt as though he had been scammed. However, he was already being forced to put a square peg into a round hole. What could he say? He watched with a sincere smile.

As for Fangzheng’s medical skills, they naturally existed. Having raised the Medicine King Bodhisattva statue by two levels, the medical skills that came with it had naturally increased by two levels. In fact, Fangzheng’s medical skills were not only limited to medical skills. To be precise, it was the genetic code!

If he made available all his medical skills, humans would not only be able to cure diseases, but they could also allow for longer lifespans and a stronger physique.

However, Fangzheng did not say it. He also did not plan on making medical skills at that level available. The reason was simple. The world was very peaceful, so there was no need to use such technology to disrupt the world. The lowest level of medical skills he had produced had already made the other countries jealous. American warships kept loitering outside China.

If he made available medical skills that could change human fate, he believed that a third world war would immediately erupt.

This was not what he wanted to see. Be it the Chinese or foreigners, they should not be embroiled in a war and die.

Therefore, Fangzheng did not say it now, nor would he mention it in the future.

Even so, Fangzheng’s words swept through China like a tornado, and even across the entire world!

“Heavens, Abbot Fangzheng said he wants to take back his medical skills. How is that possible?”

“Child, Abbot Fangzheng isn’t an ordinary person, but a Buddha. If he says he can, he can. Sigh… We used the eyes of ordinary people to look at this matter. From the looks of it, we were wrong…”

“Are you focusing on the wrong thing? Those people’s medical skills belong to Fangzheng, so it’s understandable for him to take it back. Besides, they have earned quite a bit of money with their medical skills. It can be said that they have benefited from it without any losses while earning a fortune. Now, all I care about is Abbot Fangzheng’s eighth stone slab! F**k, it can cure all the ailments in the world. In other words, deaf people can be saved. People with disabilities can be saved. People in vegetative states can be saved, people with Lou Gehrig’s disease can be saved, and cancer patients can be saved… F**k, I seem to be seeing the closing down of countless medical companies.”

“Indeed. This is the main point. Fangzheng is going against the heavens!”

“I’m just worried that it’ll be expensive to treat those illnesses. If it’s expensive, we still can’t cure them.”
