The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Panda Novel

Before Fangzheng snapped out of his daze, a camera and a microphone had already appeared in front of him.

Following that, a beautiful reporter came forward and said happily, “Congratulations, Sir! We did twenty-eight experiments in different places in BL. You are the second person who waited until midnight and was willing to donate this money. For this, we have prepared a huge gift for you! I hope you like it!”

Following that, the man carrying the large card ran over. He held Fangzheng’s hand and placed the card in front of them. Cha! Cha! Cha…

With a few crisp shutter sounds, group photos were taken.

Then, the depressed-looking man who looked like he was about to die walked over and introduced himself, “It’s really unbelievable. There’s actually such a good person like you in this world. Let me introduce myself. I’m an actor and I’ve acted in some movies before. Perhaps I’m not very famous, but my acting is quite good. Heh heh…”

Fangzheng was taken aback. It was an actor!

Red Boy looked up at Fangzheng and Fangzheng looked at Red Boy. The two of them could see the anger in each other’s eyes. F**k! An actor! They were about to starve to death for this actor!

“Disciple, take out your weapon!”

“Master, kill him!”

These were the howls in their hearts.

At that moment, the beautiful reporter said, “Gentlemen, the reward we have prepared for you is a three nights stay at BL’s most luxurious hotel and a sumptuous meal for you. There’s also this 5,000€ reward! How is it? Are you happy?

The beautiful reporter finally handed the microphone to Fangzheng and asked in anticipation.

Fangzheng and Red Boy, who were about to erupt with anger, exchanged looks. Finally, on account of the sumptuous food and 5,000€, they decided not to take action for the time being.

Fangzheng’s expression turned serious. The righteousness that came from his bones made everyone present subconsciously calm down. They were prepared to listen to the master speak from the bottom of his heart.

Then, they heard Fangzheng enunciate each and every word, “So when does the meal begin?”

Everyone: “…”

After a while, Fangzheng finally understood. It turned out that they had accidentally stumbled into a television program that tested people. This program wasn’t a live broadcast, but was recorded beforehand. It would be aired after editing.

The test this time was to test one’s honesty. It exposed some people who took advantage of others, and brought to light some truly good people. It served as a warning for citizens and encouraged them to do good things.

At the end of the day, the production team spent half a month only to have two people complete the test. One of them was a tramp whose story was similar to Fangzheng’s. The tramp was also very happy when he received the money. He bought many things that could be used to make it convenient for him to stay on the streets. It kept him warm and gave him food to eat. In the end, when he encountered the scene of the actor needing money for his child’s surgery, the tramp did not hesitate at all. He refunded all the items and gave all the money to the actor, Paul.

At that time, it shocked everyone present. No one expected that the person who could selflessly contribute was not the societal elites they had imagined, but a tramp that everyone had always despised!

The film crew who couldn’t accept it continued experimenting in different places, but this time, a monk from the orient succeeded. However, there was something in common between the monk and the tramp. They were equally poor!

His life was already tough, but he was willing to help others as much as he could.

This kind of love left the production team confused and touched.

Therefore, the reward was also doubled by the production team!

However, Fangzheng wasn’t aware of all of this. All he knew was that he was finally rich. Someone was even going to pay for his board and lodging! His days were f**king wonderful!

While living in the top-notch hotel, Fangzheng could not help but sigh when he saw the traffic outside the window. “Jingxin, see that? This is how the good are rewarded.”

Red Boy stuffed a large piece of bread into his mouth before sending it down with a mouthful of water. He burped and said, “Master, why do I feel that we aren’t good people, but we were just lucky?”

Fangzheng raised his hand and slapped him. “If I wasn’t focused on doing a good deed, you wouldn’t have been able to get any of this luck!”

Red Boy thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. Then, he gave a thumbs up and said, “Master is wise!”

Only then did Fangzheng draw the curtains in satisfaction. “Sleep! We will return home tomorrow!”

That night, Fangzheng and Red Boy slept soundly.

But some people could not fall asleep.

Although the production team’s program had not been aired, some passerby had recorded this scene and uploaded it online. In addition to the passerby’s comments in the subtitle, the video went viral! The views on an international video website exceeded 8 million views!

Following that, many media outlets rushed to report on the matter. When they learned that the two monks were Chinese, many people sighed. “We shouldn’t say that the Chinese are of low character in the future. In fact, every country has fine people. Just focusing on the bad will make one think that they are all bad. I’m ashamed of my short-sightedness.”

“Although I’m very touched, I’ll only acknowledge this monk. Yes… or rather, I’ll continue to look down on those uncultured people. However, I won’t discriminate against others based on where they are from in the future. Perhaps, I should consider carefully whether I should look down on those who did wrong or the innocent.”

“I want to know where this monk is. I want to donate some money to him.”

“This monk is really good. I’m Serena, who sold the bread across the street. Back then, the young monk was starving, but he only wanted to buy the cheapest bread. It was so that he could not spend as little money as he could. The rest was to return to the owner. Later, they refunded the bread. I saw the little guy starving, so I gave him a small cake, hoping that it could help them. I never expected them to be so lucky. Oh, God really blesses the good.”

“Well said. I’ve decided to visit your bakery. At the same time, I want to donate some money.”

“Count me in!”

“Perhaps we need a representative to contact that accomplished monk.”

“Miss Serena, can you help us?”

“Of course, I’ll be happy to. It’s my honor.”

…

The Internet was in an uproar. At the same time, the news came to the websites in China almost immediately. When they saw that the Chinese were being praised for being honest finders, many people felt proud.

Tons of comments appeared…

There were endless praises…

However, at this moment, someone asked:

“Don’t you think the backs of these two monks look a little familiar? Although their age, looks, and even clothes are different… Well, I’m saying that their actions, smiles… Don’t you find them familiar?” someone said.

“It does feel familiar. I think I’ve seen that somewhere before!”

“This f**king looks like Abbot Fangzheng! But isn’t he too old… Abbot Fangzheng is very handsome!”

“Yes, it’s like Abbot Fangzheng!”

“Damn, when you put it this way, the more I look at, the more it appears to be the case!”

“No, I want to take a look! Maybe it’s really them!”

“That’s impossible. Abbot Fangzheng is dressed in white monk robes. He’s like a god. This old monk is dressed in tattered monk robes… Uh, but his bearing doesn’t seem bad either.”

“When Abbot Fangzheng is out in the world, when has he ever been recognized? I bet that the possibility of this fellow being Abbot Fangzheng is very high!”

“Go! Go! Go! Let’s set off to capture Fangzheng!”
