Fangzheng slapped him loudly. Badly fell to the ground. He covered his face and could not get up.
When the others saw this, they looked at Fangzheng as though they had seen a ghost.
Finally, someone shouted, “Monk, who are you?”
Fangzheng pressed his palms together. “Amitabha. This Penniless Monk’s Dharma name is Fangzheng!”
“Fangzheng? Divine Monk Fangzheng? Run!” someone shouted and ran.
The others scattered as they followed. They didn’t even question Fangzheng’s ident.i.ty.
It left Fangzheng dumbfounded. He touched his face and looked at the gla.s.s in the car. He mumbled, “Is This Penniless Monk very fierce?”
By the side, the BMW driver said with a wry smile, “Abbot Fangzheng, it would be a miracle if a bad person is afraid of seeing you.”
Fangzheng smacked his lips and was about to say something…
Police sirens suddenly sounded. It was the police…
Fangzheng glanced at the BMW driver beside him. The BMW driver hurriedly said, “Are you… really Abbot Fangzheng?”
Fangzheng smiled. “Is it important who This Penniless Monk is? Be careful on the road in the future. Don’t get out of the car when you encounter such a thing. You should run when needed and call the police when necessary.”
“What if I can’t run?” the driver asked pitifully.
Fangzheng smiled. “Pay up.”
The driver was speechless…
Fangzheng laughed out loud. “Call the police after paying. There’s still a chance of getting it back. By the way, if the police ask, help me claim that it was self-defense. This Penniless Monk is a good person and doesn’t wish to be arrested.”
The driver was speechless…
Other drivers might not know, but in today’s society, to talk about arresting Fangzheng?
The driver chuckled…
Fangzheng clearly didn’t have the self-awareness of a divine monk. He hurriedly ran over to lift the roadblock and got into his Sc.r.a.pped Car. He patted the steering wheel and said, “Are you still not awake? Hurry up and run!”
Sc.r.a.pped Car: “Ah… Oh… Zzz, zzz…”
He continued to sleep.
Fangzheng regretted adding another two bottles of alcohol. This fellow was probably suffering from alcohol poisoning and could not wake up…
Seeing the police approaching, Fangzheng became afraid of trouble.
Left with no choice, he lifted up Sc.r.a.pped Car and ran away…
Upon seeing this scene, the BMW driver threw away his final suspicions… A human running while carrying a car? In this world, only that miraculous monk, Fangzheng, could do that.
That day’s local news…
“Today, police have cracked the case of a major syndicate. The 18 people in the group claim to be the Eighteen Arhats. They disguise themselves as villagers to occupy an intersection to collect entrance fees. They selectively extort and blackmail pa.s.sing vehicles… According to witnesses, Abbot Fangzheng was sighted, but the police failed to find any traces of Abbot Fangzheng…”
Following the news, the locals could no longer sit still. A divine monk had come to their place? They had to look for him! If they found him and sought help from him, they might be able to resolve the problems they encountered…
At the same time, there were people discussing whether Abbot Fangzheng was right to hit someone.
In the end…
“Good job!”
“Well done!”
“Unconditionally supporting Abbot Fangzheng!”
“I think Abbot Fangzheng’s actions back then should have been considered self-defense. He didn’t take any weapons with him! There were so many people across him, and they were armed!”
“Uh… I don’t think a person like Abbot Fangzheng will ever need self-defense, right?”
Everyone fell silent…
After a while, thousands of comments exploded…
“It’s self-defense!”
“Right, it was self-defense!”
“I’ll smash the gla.s.s of anyone who objects!”
“I’ll smash his window!”
“I’ll smash his car!”
…
Seeing such a one-sided threat, some people, who wanted to argue with reason and prove that the darn baldy, Fangzheng, would never be in any dangerous environment or have the need for self-defense, decisively shut up.
At this moment, a lawyer stood forward and said, “We should look at the essence of the matter. It’s essentially a group of likely gangsters threatening a person’s life and exhorting them with weapons. It had caused a threat on life. At this time, isn’t it right to use things like divine powers, machine guns, or atomic bombs?”
“I can tell at a glance that the previous poster is a senior lawyer. Lawyer, where do you work at?”
“I’m preparing to take the bar exam…”
…
And at that moment, the divine monk in everyone’s eyes…
“Sc.r.a.pped Car! Run faster!” Fangzheng patted the steering wheel.
Sc.r.a.pped Car slowly drove across a gra.s.s field with black smoke rising from it. As it drove, he shouted, “I’m a car, not a tractor. How can I run faster on this c.r.a.ppy road? I protest!”
“Overruled!”
“Master, I’m hungry…” Salted Fish said.
Groan…
Fangzheng’s stomach was also growling.
Fangzheng sighed helplessly as he silently restored Red Boy’s divine powers. Before long, a fiery red meteor fell from the sky and Red Boy shouted, “Master, you have finally restored my divine powers. Something big has happened to the monastery!”
Fangzheng was taken aback. “Something big happened to the monastery? Our monastery has been hidden so well. What else can happen?”
“Zhao Datong, Ma Juan, Fang Yunjing, and Hu Han somehow managed to find our monastery. They even brought all sorts of exploration equipment, including satellite phones…
“Then, the moment they found us, they immediately released the news to the outside world. Following that, a large group of people came today. Some of them wanted to pay their respects to Buddha, while others wanted to see you… There are officials and tyc.o.o.ns. In short, there are all sorts of people. If you don’t return soon, the monastery’s door will burst,” said Red Boy.
When Fangzheng heard that, he hurriedly said, “Holy c.r.a.p, quickly return!”
With a red flash, the few of them flew towards One Finger Monastery along with Sc.r.a.pped Car.
In the sky, Fangzheng saw that Mt. One Finger was packed with people. Furthermore, more and more people were rus.h.i.+ng over from the foot of the mountain…
Without any prior knowledge, one would imagine that these devotees were here to raid the place.
“Master, what do we do?” Red Boy asked.
Fangzheng sighed. “It’s already like this. What else can we do? Do what we did in the past? Open the door and accept incense offerings!”
“No… Master, there are so many people, but our tiny incense burner…” Red Boy said bitterly.
Fangzheng said, “Don’t worry. I’ll think of a solution.”
“System Bro, I should have two chances at the draw, right? Give me a large incense cauldron.”
“Alright, receive it!” The System answered as a blob of yellow light appeared in Fangzheng’s palm. Fangzheng activated A Golden Millet Dream and hid himself, allowing Red Boy to land the cloud.
After entering the monastery, Fangzheng waved his hand. The yellow glow shattered as a stone incense cauldron landed in the yard…
Everyone was very familiar with this incense cauldron. It was the one he had drawn previously!
After settling this, Fangzheng felt worried again…
“Master, our monastery only has a child-giving Guan Yin. Are we just going to let them pray for children?” asked Monkey.
Fangzheng said, “System, draw a Thousand-armed and Thousand-eyed Guan Yin.”
