The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Chapter 1380: Master Is an Academic Bottom-feeder

Fangzheng thought and said, “Oh? How do I prove it?”

Lone Wolf thought for a moment and said, “My master usually gives me lots of delicious food. Do you have anything nice to eat?”

Fangzheng was instantly taken aback when he heard that. When had he ever given the stupid dog delicious food? Fangzheng knew that the stupid dog was taking the opportunity to extort him! Fangzheng was instantly infuriated as he raised his hand and slapped it!

Lone Wolf hurriedly dodged but failed to dodge Fangzheng’s slap.

Lone Wolf jumped up and yelled, “You dare attack me? Do you really think I won’t hit an elder? Do you really think I don’t have anyone? Junior Brothers, gather! A cheat is impersonating as Master!”

When Lone Wolf roared, Squirrel, Monkey, Red Boy, and Salted Fish ran over. When they saw Fangzheng’s state, they were taken aback.

Squirrel laughed and said, “Haha… You’re such a bad cheat. Our master isn’t that old! Before you come, you should at least put on some makeup, right?”

Monkey did not say a word. Instead, he frowned and looked suspiciously at Fangzheng.

Red Boy stroked his chin and said, “Master? Don’t tell me you have turned into someone else to deceive us? Or are you a cheat? In short, if you can’t prove that you are our master, you can’t enter the backyard.”

Salted Fish nodded as well. “That’s right. It’s a rule.”

Fangzheng also knew that it was useless to say anything. Hence, he pricked up his brows and said, “Jingxin, let me have a chat with you.”

With that said, Fangzheng began chanting the incantation. Red Boy let out a cry as he hugged his head and rolled around. He shouted, “Aiyah, Master, I was wrong! You really are Master… Aiyah, stop now!”

Everyone knew that only Fangzheng knew the incantation. Now, with a thought from Fangzheng resulting in Red Boy’s reaction, everyone understood that the old man in front of them was truly their master!

Everyone rushed forward to greet him.

Fangzheng shook his head. “Wait a moment. Jingfa, we…”

Before Fangzheng could finish his sentence, he felt his thigh tighten. He looked down and saw Lone Wolf sprawled on the ground like an ox. He hugged Fangzheng’s thigh and looked at him pitifully. He shouted, “Master… I was wrong. Look at how adorable I am. Let this matter pass, alright…”

Fangzheng looked at the silly and adorable act that Lone Wolf was putting up. He asked, “Who taught you this move?”

Lone Wolf subconsciously took a glance at Squirrel. Squirrel said, “I learned it from an animation film on the Internet…”

Bam!

Before Squirrel could finish his sentence, he saw Fangzheng raise his leg. A huge white wolf flew over the wall and landed outside…

Squirrel smacked his lips and continued, “It worked pretty well in the animation. Why doesn’t it work in real life?”

“Master, good kick! Master, if you haven’t vented your anger, why don’t you do it again? How about that?” Lone Wolf ran in through the back door and came over with a wretched look.

Fangzheng looked at the shameless fellow and felt exasperated. Fangzheng also knew that the fellow had coarse skin and thick flesh. It was fine even if he beat him a few times. This fellow was clearly trying to use the beating to replace the punishment.

Shaking his head, Fangzheng ignored him. After all, he was vexed.

When everyone quietened down, Red Boy said resentfully, “Master, why did you turn into this?”

Fangzheng shrugged and said, “It’s a long story.”

Salted Fish moved a tiny stool and sat by the side. He chuckled. “It’s fine even if it’s a long story. We can talk about it slowly.”

With that said, Salted Fish was stunned because everyone was looking at him in unison!

Salted Fish looked at everyone standing before looking at the stool that was under his butt. Then, he looked at Fangzheng who had raised his hand, preparing to crack his knuckles… as well as everyone’s nefarious eyes.

Salted Fish decisively stood up and shouted. “Master, I’ll get you a huge chair!”

Then, Salted Fish ran off…

After everyone sat down, Fangzheng recounted his experience.

Red Boy said, “Oh my god. Master, if you continued watching, you might have died.”

Fangzheng sighed. “There’s nothing I can do. I don’t feel at ease if I don’t figure it out.”

Red Boy said, “Master, I think you’re too anxious. You could spend two seconds a day, and it won’t take long for you to finish a year. Furthermore, it won’t have such a huge impact on you. You put in too much effort… It’s such a waste of your good looks. Great, even if you were to renounce asceticism now, you probably wouldn’t be able to find a wife.”

Fangzheng slapped him. “Am I not handsome now?”

Red Boy looked at Fangzheng’s raised palm and said, “Handsome! Absolutely Handsome! If Master renounces asceticism, he will definitely have a harem of concubines numbering three thousand!”

Only then did Fangzheng nod in satisfaction. He did not hear what Red Boy secretly added, “Three thousand old ladies…”

“Master, there’s something I’m not sure if I should say,” Salted Fish said.

Fangzheng said, “Speak. You won’t be hit no matter right or wrong. Now, it’s time to brainstorm. Say whatever is on your mind?”

Salted Fish shook his head and said, “Master, were you an academic bottom-feeder at school?”

Fangzheng’s face instantly turned livid…

Salted Fish hurriedly said, “Master, why did you check one day after another? Can’t you do away with the unnecessary? For example, you can first pick 15th June. If the world isn’t there, there’s no need to investigate anything past that. Then you can check 15th March. If the world is still there, then there’s no need to look at anything before that. With that, you will be able to find your target without using too many years of yours.”

Fangzheng’s face turned even more livid when he heard that. He suddenly realized that his brain seemed to be fried… He never thought of such a simple logic. What a pig! What a pity for his gorgeous looks!

“It’s too late to say anything now. Have a good rest. During this period of time, I won’t see any outsiders. If there’s anything, resolve it yourselves. If someone comes to find me, say that I’m in seclusion.” Fangzheng waved his hand and returned to his meditation room.

Lone Wolf exclaimed, “Master, don’t you have that mask? You can turn into how you looked when you were young.”

Fangzheng waved his hand and said, “I’m not looking for a partner. I don’t care much about looks. It’s just that I wish to think about something during this period of time… Alright, go off and have fun.”

After returning to his meditation room, Fangzheng was indeed not sad. Instead, he found a large number of scriptures. He remembered that many of the scriptures had mentioned natural disasters and apocalypse. He wanted to see if the situation he encountered had been mentioned in the scriptures.

This reading took him a month.

During this period of time, Li Xueying, Jing Yan, Wang Yougui, and even Nguyen Vo Ming from Vietnam came to visit. However, they were held back by Red Boy and company.

Fangzheng didn’t appear outside for a month, nor had anyone seen Fangzheng. He didn’t even appear for the striking of the drum. Instead, he was replaced by Red Boy.

Instantly, there was a flurry of discussion outside. Many people were asking about Fangzheng’s whereabouts.
