The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Fangzheng sighed when he saw this. He suddenly turned around and ran!

“Master! Stop right there!” Red Boy shouted as the other disciples chased after him.

“I told you that there’s something wrong with Master!” Salted Fish shouted.

Squirrel said, “There must be something in his mouth! It must be my pine nuts. I smell it!”

“And my Frost Bamboo!” cried Monkey.

Red Boy said, “And my snacks!”

Salted Fish said, “And my innocence!”

“For the sake of food, charge!” The disciples chased after him.

Fangzheng quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and circled around. He rushed into One Finger Monastery and drank a huge mouthful of Unrooted Clean Aqua!

Almost at the same time, Red Boy and company swarmed in and shouted, “Master, open your mouth and show us!”

Fangzheng turned his head and looked at the disciples calmly. Then, he raised his brows and opened his mouth. “See, look. Is there anything?”

The few disciples came up to take a closer look but there was nothing…

Red Boy said, “Master, aren’t you training no-speak meditation. Aren’t you not speaking?”

Fangzheng said, “How is one to train when you guys are making such trouble? I’ve decided not to train!”

“Wait, Master! There’s a pine nut on your mouth!” Salted Fish suddenly shouted.

Fangzheng subconsciously said, “How is that possible? I’ve already eaten…”

The moment that was said, Fangzheng felt the temperature in the room drop significantly…

The group of disciples glared at Fangzheng as Fangzheng coughed awkwardly. “This is actually a misunderstanding.”

“Master, there’s no need to say anything. Senior and Junior Brothers, get your weapons! Those who have a grudge, take your revenge. Even if there’s no grudge, beat him for fun!” Ever since Salted Fish came to One Finger Monastery, he had been beaten up frequently. Now that he finally had a chance, he naturally screamed and charged forward!

However, after Salted Fish rushed forward three steps, he realized that no one around him responded!

Salted Fish looked back and realized that Lone Wolf, Squirrel, Monkey, and Red Boy had collectively retreated three steps.

Then, they said in unison, “Good luck!”

Salted Fish immediately felt as though he had been betrayed. When he looked back at Fangzheng, he saw Fangzheng loosen his wrist and say, “Very good, Jingzhi. Without my guidance, you have learned to rebel…”

“Master, they are with me. They even cheered me on.” Salted Fish immediately cowered when he realized that he was the only one.

Then, he heard Lone Wolf, Squirrel, Monkey, and Red Boy shout in unison, “Master, all the best!”

Salted Fish turned his head and cursed. “F**k, are you still human? To sell out your teammate like this?”

After the scolding, he was stunned. It seemed like none of the four were human…

“Master, I was just joking. Do you believe me?” Salted Fish asked Fangzheng pitifully.

Fangzheng said, “Yes, of course. Come here. Let’s talk reason.”

Salted Fish ran the moment he heard that…

He instantly vanished.

“Uh… This child, I’m really just trying to reason with him. Is there a need for that?” Fangzheng sighed when he saw Salted Fish running off.

When Red Boy heard that he was going to reason with him, he immediately recalled how Fangzheng had reasoned with him for several days. He laughed dryly. “Master, sometimes, if you can use violence, there’s no need to use words.”

Squirrel and company had experienced the terrifying reasoning lecture, so they nodded in agreement.

All of them had coarse skin and thick flesh. They did not feel anything from being beaten. However, being forced to undergo mental torture was truly painful.

Finally, this matter came to an end under Fangzheng’s guarantee that it would never happen again. Furthermore, he provided compensation.

At the same time, Fangzheng finally confirmed the might of the All Beings Mask. It could indeed change a person’s appearance completely and be used to fool the people around him!

However, this was only a small interlude. In the following days, Fangzheng continued working on his armor. Finally, half a month later, he took out a finished product, a complete Frost Bamboo armor that was two meters tall!

Among them, Fangzheng had used many techniques that exceeded the present world. There were certain things that he just wasn’t capable of doing. All he could do was wait until he stepped into the Dao and use the Divine State to work with Red Boy and Salted Fish.

The Frost Bamboo Armor was engraved with dense patterns and scriptures. In fact, it was not simply for the sake of looking good. Instead, it was a functional sutra.

It was similar to a Daoist’s array formation, and Fangzheng called it an augmentation.

However, Fangzheng’s Buddhist powers were limited. All he could do was guide the Buddhist powers condensed in One Finger Monastery and cleanse it day and night. Fangzheng believed that in time, the Frost Bamboo armor would definitely not be inferior to the mecha in movies.

However, that wasn’t something he wanted to consider. He didn’t even consider the problem of fighting. In fact, he didn’t even plan to let anyone see him. He just wanted to have some fun and enjoy the kick of it.

When he wore the huge armor, Fangzheng immediately felt as though his entire armor was connected to his body. His every move was extremely natural, as though it was part of his body.

At the same time, the armor could greatly enhance one’s strength. Fangzheng originally had immense strength. Now, he had the feeling that he could drag a train around… or even more!

“Impressive… Unfortunately, in this era, there’s no use for such things. It’s just some self-entertainment. Heh heh…” Fangzheng smiled as he ran around the mountain peak at night. He leaped and finally rushed deep into the Mt. Tongtian range, having a great time playing.

The next day, he hid his armor in the Frost Bamboo forest. The Frost Bamboo forest was protected by an array formation, so he was not afraid that he would attract trouble.

That day, Fangzheng was drinking tea and reading the scriptures in the backyard when Wang Yougui suddenly ran over.

“Patron Wang, why are you here?” Fangzheng was puzzled. Now, One Finger Village and the surrounding villages were rapidly developing economically because of One Finger Monastery’s popularity. Coupled with the Frost Bamboo’s sales, the construction of the school, the paving of the roads, and so on that needed his attention, he had not been to One Finger Monastery in a long time.

Wang Yougui didn’t say a word. He drank two large bowls of tea before letting out a sigh. “Good news. Absolutely good news!”

“What good news?”

Wang Yougui chuckled and said, “The construction team is here to help you expand the monastery. The batch of materials that were transported from Southeast Asia last time can finally be used. The expansion that you dream of can finally be done.”

Fangzheng was delighted when he heard that!

At the same time, Wang Yougui said, “In addition, the Nguyen family is willing to build an elevator for you to directly link the foot of the mountain to the mountaintop. This way, it will be much more convenient for tourists to head up and down the mountain. How about it? Do you want it?”

Fangzheng felt a little excited when he heard that. However, on second thought, the mountain was beautiful because it was natural. Furthermore, Mt. One Finger was really too small. If he were to build a steel elevator here, it would appear somewhat out of place. It would easily destroy the scenery.
