The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

“Master, I’ll follow you!” Lone Wolf immediately turned excited when he heard that Fangzheng was planning on entering the mountain. He wasn’t interested in going into the city, but entering the mountain visiting his hometown!

Fangzheng sniffed the strange odor on him and said with a look of disdain, “Go wash up first.”

“Alright!” Lone Wolf turned around to wash his face…

Just as he said that, he heard a cry from the foot of the mountain. Squirrel shouted as well, “Master, another animal has come out! A large herd of boars! There are also wolves!”

Fangzheng was taken aback as he thought to himself, What’s wrong? Are these animals having some meeting? Did they agree to come out together to snatch territory today?

Fangzheng hurriedly looked down. Indeed, there were numerous animals appearing from the forest. They circled around the village and looked like monsters attacking a city in games.

Although Fangzheng did not know what had happened, he knew one thing—these animals would not run out for no reason. Something must have happened in the mountains!

At that moment, Red Boy returned with a few lollipops in his hand. When Fangzheng saw him, he had the urge of feeding him two pieces of clay. However, he did not have time to waste. He immediately shouted, “Jingxin, quickly come over. Bring me down to take a look.”

Red Boy quickly stuffed the candy into his mouth and flew off with Fangzheng.

The moment they landed, Wang Yougui and company surrounded them. “Fangzheng, what’s going on? Why are the animals out?”

Dog Song ran over as well. He panted as he said, “How strange. Our chicken is about to go crazy. It kept clucking in the coop as though a weasel had entered it. Even the dogs are feeling uneasy…”

Fangzheng’s heart palpitated when he heard that. “This tizzy with animals running around means that something is about to happen!”

“An earthquake!?” With Fangzheng’s reminder, Wang Yougui and Dog Song snapped out of their daze and shouted in unison.

As if to respond to their guesses, the ground began to quake!

Fangzheng hurriedly said, “Quickly hide! Find flat ground and stay there! Jingxin, search for the people in the nearby villages and bring them to a safe place!”

With that said, Fangzheng paused and grabbed Red Boy. He asked, “Can your divine powers suppress the earthquake?”

Red Boy rolled his eyes. “Master, I can move mountains and reverse the flow of rivers when fighting, but this earthquake is a problem under the Earth. I can’t handle it.”

Fangzheng smacked his head. “Quickly save people!”

Red Boy transformed into a red beam and vanished. Following that, doors to houses were slammed open. Following that, a few people appeared in the wide yard…

The red light was fast, but the earthquake was faster. In just a few seconds, the earth shook even more crazily. The walls cracked and a house collapsed with a bang…

The villagers and tourists who were watching the commotion were dumbfounded. Then, they ran around while shouting!

Mt. One Finger shook as well. Fangzheng looked up at the mountaintop and shouted, “Jingzhi, help save people! Send all the people on the mountain into the monastery. It’s absolutely safe there!”

Salted Fish nodded and led Monkey, Squirrel, and Lone Wolf, who had just washed his face, to begin organizing the workers to hide in the monastery.

Fangzheng was also helping to search for people, but he was ultimately lacking in divine powers. He was not as fast as Red Boy. At that moment, Sun Mengmeng suddenly ran over to grab his pants and shouted, “Brother Fangzheng, Mt. One Finger! Quickly look! Mt. One Finger is growing taller!”

Fangzheng turned his head and heard a loud boom. Mt. One Finger seemed to be raised by a massive object as it slowly rose higher and higher from the ground. It was originally a column that reached into the sky. Now, it had reached the clouds and was rising!

Fangzheng subconsciously asked, “System, did you do it?”

The System said, “Why would I do it if without your agreement? Do you think I would give you a free reward? This is the power of nature and the range of the earthquake is huge. It’s not just about these villages. Be careful.”

Fangzheng’s heart palpitated when he heard that. The range of the earthquake was huge? More than a few villages? Could it be…

Fangzheng turned his head and looked in the direction of Songwu County. His heart turned cold…

Northeast China’s villages consisted of flat houses. When there was an earthquake, there was still time for everyone to run out. Once they came out into the open—their spacious yard, they would be relatively safer. But the city…

Fangzheng’s scalp tingled when he thought of the skyscrapers.

Fangzheng nearly subconsciously shouted, “Village Chief Wang, I’ll leave this to you. I’ll head to the county city!”

As he spoke, Fangzheng roared, “Jingzhi!”

Salted Fish, who had arranged for the people to enter the monastery, also recovered his divine powers. His divine perception enveloped his surroundings, so he naturally heard Fangzheng’s shout. He immediately jumped down from the mountain and slammed right in front of Fangzheng. Salted Fish, who had always been indecent, asked solemnly, “Master, what’s the matter?”

Fangzheng said, “Bring me to the county city as soon as possible!”

Salted Fish immediately nodded. Fangzheng jumped onto the fish’s back and Salted Fish ran. His speed left everyone dumbfounded…

“Is this a super sports car?”

“A super sports car isn’t that fast, is it?”

“Cut the crap. Go to the fields! Quick!” Wang Yougui came over to urge them as they retreated towards the fields.

The animals that came out from the forest also started running around, especially those wild boars, wolves, northeastern tigers, and black bears. The destructive power was astonishing, and with them running everywhere, it left the people in panic.

Just as a herd of boars charged at a group of people, a loud cry sounded. Following that, a squirrel flew in front of the boar and shouted, “Stop! Have you fat pigs forgotten the lesson you received last time? Are you thinking of turning into roasted pigs?”

“Brother, there’s a squirrel in front!” a boar shouted.

“Don’t say anything. Kill him! We are the strongest!” The boar leader shouted without even thinking.

“Brother, he said that we were beaten up the last time. When were we beaten up? Trample him to death!” another young boar shouted.

The boar king’s heart palpitated when he heard that. He had been beaten before? There seemed to be one in his limited memories… Furthermore, there was indeed a squirrel back then!

With this in mind, the wild boar king roared, “Stop! All of you stop! Stop rolling as well!”

When the boars heard that, they decisively halted. However, all of them were charging with all their might. To suddenly halt, how could they stop in time when they weighed a few hundred kilograms? Coupled with rear collisions, they immediately rolled into a ball. Indeed, they rolled together…

The boar king stood in front of Squirrel and grinned. “Big Brother, is there anything?”

“Big… Big Brother?!” The new boars were dumbfounded. They looked at each other and then at Squirrel’s tiny figure. They were completely dumbfounded.

Squirrel said in surprise, “You all understand what I’m saying?”
