The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Fangzheng ignored Salted Fish and said to the woman, “Female Patron, don’t worry. This Penniless Monk will definitely be on your side.”

The woman said gratefully, “Aiyah, Master, you are really a living Ji Gong! You are a good person! My name is Wang Guixiang. If anyone bullies you, report my name! Alright, everything is fine now. I’m going to walk my dog.”

With that said, Wang Guixiang was delighted. She happily wanted to take her dog away, but with a thought from Fangzheng, the dog saw a tiger nearby. It was so frightened that it couldn’t even hold back its pee. How would it dare run around?

Wang Guixiang called the dog several times but it refused to move. Helpless, Wang Guixiang could only leash the dog and drag it away…

Upon seeing this scene, many people found it amusing, but when they saw the monk, they were instantly infuriated.

Fangzheng ignored them and chuckled. “Everyone, keep the videos well. It will be useful in the future.”

“Don’t worry. We promise to help you become famous!” The shop owner harrumphed.

Fangzheng thought nothing of it. He smiled and left.

“Master, are you leaving just like that? This doesn’t suit your style!” Salted Fish shouted.

Fangzheng chuckled. “Who said I’m leaving? Let’s find a place to get your Eldest Senior Brother over!”

“Uh, what do you mean?” Salted Fish was taken aback.

At the next moment, a red beam of light descended from the sky. The moment it landed, it shouted, “Master, why did you suddenly restore my divine powers?”

Fangzheng nodded. “It’s nothing. I want you to bring your Eldest Senior Brother over.”

“Bring Eldest Senior Brother over? He’s most unwilling to leave the mountain. Will he come down?” Red Boy said in surprise.

Fangzheng smiled. “Tell him that if he doesn’t leave the mountain, prepare to starve a month. He will definitely come down. Remember, make sure to negotiate nicely. Our monastery doesn’t promote autocracy. It’s especially democratic.”

Red Boy rolled his eyes and flew back to One Finger Monastery.

“Democracy? F**king democracy my ass! Is this darn baldy out of money again? He has no food to eat? Is this the prelude to stewing dog meat?” Lone Wolf’s roar came from One Finger Monastery.

“Eldest Senior Brother, I support your rebellion. Why don’t you not go?” Monkey said calmly.

Lone Wolf chuckled and said, “You are supporting me so that I can starve to death. This way, no one will vie for food with you, right? Dream on. Fourth Junior Brother, let’s go!”

“Where are we going?” Red Boy asked.

“Find the darn baldy! I have a feeling that I’m going to starve again today…” Lone Wolf wailed as he was taken away by Red Boy.

Monkey sighed as he watched the red beam leave.

Squirrel asked out of curiosity, “Junior Brother, what’s wrong?”

Monkey shook his head and said, “Nowadays, the moment a fool mentions food, he becomes smarter. It’s not easy to survive in society…”

Squirrel: “…”

Not long later, Red Boy brought Lone Wolf to Fangzheng and asked in puzzlement, “Master, why did you call Eldest Senior Brother over?”

Lone Wolf asked, “That’s right. I’m doing pretty well on the mountain. Why did I come down?”

Fangzheng smiled and said, “It’s fine. I see that the people in the city seem to like walking dogs. I’m thinking of joining the trend. I’ll also try walking dogs.”

Lone Wolf’s eyes widened when he heard that as he exclaimed, “Master, I’m a wolf, not a dog!”

Fangzheng said, “I don’t care if you are a wolf or a dog. In any case, your ancestors are the same. There’s not much difference in your looks. I don’t have a dog, so I can only walk you!”

Lone Wolf exclaimed, “Objection! Protest! Master, I’m such a mighty and domineering wolf. Do you think I’m a dog? I protest!”

Fangzheng slapped him and said, “Objection overruled. Of course, if you wish to go a hunger strike, I can consider changing.”

Lone Wolf immediately stuck out his tongue and wagged his tail when he heard that. He asked, “Master, do you think I look like one?”

Fangzheng gave him a thumbs up and said, “Not bad. Don’t be so sharp-eyed. Look a little sillier. Smile with your eyes narrowed.”

Lone Wolf cooperated…

On the other side, Salted Fish shook his head and said, “Sigh, what a good wolf. He is actually being trained by Master to become a dog.”

Red Boy said, “What’s the point of saying that? Back then, I was the mighty king of a mountain. Now, am I not an acolyte?”

Salted Fish nodded and said, “That’s right. Back then, I was also a salted fish beside Buddha. Now, I’ve become a fish-powered motorbike… Sigh… Nothing can compare to meeting an unreliable darn baldy when it comes to having a bad life!”

“Makes sense!” Red Boy said.

As the two echoed each other, Fangzheng had completed his training of Lone Wolf.

“Jingxin, if there’s nothing else, you can return. I’m worried if only Jingkuan and Jingzhen are in the monastery,” said Fangzheng.

Red Boy rolled his eyes and felt displeased. However, what Fangzheng said made sense. Monkey and Squirrel had been strengthened, but who knew what would happen in the mountain… What if a hunter appeared? What if they encountered an unreasonable group of people? That would be quite troublesome.

Therefore, Red Boy flew away unwillingly.

Fangzheng wrapped Salted Fish up again and carried him before whispering into Lone Wolf’s ear…

Lone Wolf was taken aback as he exclaimed, “Master, aren’t you a little too evil!”

Fangzheng raised his hand and slapped him. “What do you mean ‘evil?’ This is called redeeming a dog! Redeeming a human! Redeeming the world! It’s great merit, understand?”

“No… With my character as a wolf, I can’t do such a thing. Master, you are mistaken about me.” Lone Wolf shook his head.

Fangzheng said, “You have to understand even if you don’t know. It’s not wrong to believe in authority. Work hard and you’ll have a second helping for dinner. Of course, if you don’t do it…”

“Master, you have such good eyesight. You can tell at a glance what kind of wolf I am. Let’s do it!” Lone Wolf immediately relented.

Fangzheng felt helpless. He needed to use all kinds of threats and enticement to get his disciple to do something. It really wasn’t easy leading such a team…

Wang Guixiang’s only hobby was to walk her dog… The dog in her family was very close to her. Even though it did not surpass her parents closeness, it was still a part of her family.

She was displeased with the quarrel today, but the monk made her feel that the world still had love. People still had open hearts for dogs…

Hence, her mood improved.

Wang Guixiang watched as her dog ran around, kicking flowers, stepping on grass, and having fun. She felt even better.

Especially when she saw her cute dog raise its leg and pee. When it raised its tail and crapped a pile of shit, this exceptionally improved her mood. She mumbled, “Baby is so obedient. You know how to pee and shit outside. You’ll be clean when you reach home!”

It was unknown if the dog understood what she was saying, but it continued running after it was done shitting. When it saw people, it moved forward and scared the passersby. All of them glared at him angrily.

Unfortunately, Wang Guixiang acted as if she did not see it. Even if she did, she curled her lips and said, “You’re already a grown man, so why are you afraid of dogs? What were all those years of living for?”

Those who heard this were even more furious. Unfortunately, Wang Guixiang ignored everyone’s anger. Her principle was that as long as she and her dog was happy, everything was fine. What did others have to do with her?
