The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Fangzheng asked, “You know your faults?”

“Yes, I do!” the person on the ground shouted.

Fangzheng nodded and said to Red Boy, “Send him to the police station. Although his sins have been absolved, he still has to bear the punishment of the human world.”

“Yes, Master.” Red Boy left with the man.

When the other party heard that he could leave Fangzheng and even be sent to the police station, it was as though it was the festive season. He was delighted, and he ran very quickly, as if he was afraid that he wouldn’t be sent to the police station if he was too slow.

At the entrance of Songwu County’s police station, two policemen sat on two small stools and looked up at the sky in a daze.

Ever since Bao Yuluo picked up a few fugitives just by walking out the door and earned an accolade from the higher-ups, there were people guarding the door every day. As long as some policemen weren’t working, on their day off, or free, there would be people sitting there waiting for prisoners to fall from the sky.

Bao Yuluo stood in front of the window and looked at those people. She shook her head slightly and said, “That kind of thing can only be encountered by chance. Only they can endure such a long wait. To think they aren’t using up their days off and just waiting at the door…”

“Sister Yuluo, it’s all your fault,” said a middle-aged female police officer with a smile.

Just as Bao Yuluo was about to say something, she heard a cry from the door.

The two of them turned their heads and saw a person lying at the door! The man’s crotch was wrapped with grass and leaves, and he was naked everywhere else. However, his long hair and long beard were covering his entire body, making it impossible to see anything unsightly.

“What’s that?” This was Bao Yuluo and the other policemen’s first thought.

As they spoke, the group ran out. On a careful look, it was really a person!

Before anyone could figure out what was going on, they heard the person on the ground shout. “I’m guilty! I surrender! I killed my parents! I want to be executed for my crimes!”

“Yuluo picked up a wanted criminal here, but look at you. Despite sitting here for so many days, all you get is a mental patient.” The female police officers laughed.

The two male police officers sitting at the door said with a bitter expression, “That can’t be, right? If he’s mentally ill, won’t we have to send him away?”

Upon hearing that they were going to send him away, the person on the ground shouted. “Don’t! I’m really guilty! I’m Zheng Yuan! I’m a wanted criminal, Zheng Yuan! Do a check!”

Upon hearing the other party’s clear enunciation and logical reasoning, everyone treated it seriously. However, they first pulled Zheng Yuan away to let him tidy his hair and shave. With all this hair and beard, it could actually be sold for quite a bit…

Zheng Yuan didn’t want it either, allowing the police to donate it.

Looking at Zheng Yuan’s true face and the photo of the wanted criminal, Zheng Yuan was finally sent to jail as he wished.

On this day, everyone, including Bao Yuluo, sat at the entrance as though they were having a meeting. However, they were not looking ahead, but looking up into the sky…

After sending Zheng Yuan off, One Finger Monastery once again became peaceful. However, Fangzheng’s heart could not calm down.

What Red Fiend had done also reminded Fangzheng that although he had divine powers and was indestructible himself, mortals could still use their own means to seek revenge on him. He was still not an omnipotent Buddha, so he was unable to control the life and death of all living beings. Therefore, the burden on him was nothing to scoff at.

“Master, Red Fiend actually came to us. I think I should go to them. If you let me, I guarantee that I’ll destroy them, leaving nothing behind!” Salted Fish rolled up his figurative sleeves, looking very fierce.

Fangzheng asked, “Do you know where the Red Fiend headquarters are?”

Salted Fish was speechless…

Fangzheng looked at Red Boy and asked him, “Do you have any divine powers that could help us find them?”

Red Boy shook his head and said, “If we want to find someone, all we need is an item of theirs to seek them out as the source of the item. On the other hand, though, finding someone without any item, especially when there’s no exact target, is impossible.”

Salted Fish said, “Although there aren’t many people on Earth, there are still seven billion! Even if we captured all of them, we wouldn’t know who the members of Red Fiend are even if they were right in front of us.”

Fangzheng thought about it and agreed. He could only give up for the time being. “Jingxin, it will be hard on you in the coming days. Use your divine perception to envelop Mt. One Finger and One Finger Village. Once you discover members of Red Fiend, finish them off in a timely fashion.”

Red Boy knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded. “Don’t worry, Master. There’s nothing we can do if they don’t come. If they come, they will definitely not be able to do a thing.”

Salted Fish asked, “Master, what about me?”

Fangzheng said, “Your mission is more difficult. Use This Penniless Monk’s cell phone. No matter what method you use, join Red Fiend and dig out clues about them!”

When Salted Fish heard that, his eyes lit up as he hurriedly nodded and promised to deliver.

After settling everything, Fangzheng heaved a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Squirrel ran over and shouted. “Master, Village Chief Wang and County Head Qi have brought someone here.”

Fangzheng frowned when he heard that. He never expected trouble to come so quickly.

Fangzheng said to his disciples, “I’ll leave the matters here to you. This Penniless Monk will be hiding first.”

“Master, we didn’t do anything shameful. Why should you hide?” Squirrel asked, puzzled.

Fangzheng waved his hand and said, “It’s too troublesome! It’s too troublesome dealing with officials. It’s time for This Penniless Monk to dash! This Penniless Monk is leaving this place to you.”

With that said, Fangzheng opened the Formless Door and escaped!

Fangzheng really had no interest in dealing with government officials. He always believed that it was too troublesome to deal with them. If he were to go through their procedures, there would basically be no time to do anything else.

In addition, he understood what the government had in mind. Salted Fish’s theories had caught its interest, something that Fangzheng didn’t care about. In this world, it wasn’t possible for supermen to be cultivated. Even if humans’ physiques were enhanced by ten times, they would still be human. Therefore, he didn’t mind giving the basic cultivation method to them.

Furthermore, a strong national defense was the foundation of society. This was also a good thing.

Nonetheless, Fangzheng had no intention of interacting with them. At the same time, he had no intention of monopolizing the theory. In fact, even if the government didn’t want it, with Salted Fish’s big mouth, it would end up all across the world. Fangzheng had no plans on stopping that either. Why would he stop all of humanity from benefiting?

This time, Fangzheng didn’t bring any disciples with him. His goal was to leave more disciples on the mountain to deal with any subsequent troubles. However, he wasn’t worried about the trouble on the mountain. Salted Fish was a wily old fox, and he was extremely good at chatting and bragging. Red Boy didn’t show it on his face when he lied. Monkey was relatively calm with a little wit. Lone Wolf was loyal and reliable, and Squirrel was good at acting cute… Yeah, it might appear like he’s useless, but this child was innocent, and he couldn’t hide the truth. Fangzheng always had a way of figuring out whatever his senior brothers had been up to thanks to him. In a way, he was a mobile camera…

This time, when Fangzheng stepped into the Formless Door, he felt that the scene in front of him was strange and dazzling. He couldn’t see anything clearly, but he heard someone shouting. “Hai. Hai. Hai…”

It was unknown what the person was doing.

Before long, County Head Qi’s furious roar sounded on Mt. One Finger. “Fangzheng, you darn baldy! You ran off again!”
