The tourists that Dog Song had brought with him were somewhat curious. They had heard Dog Song brag about it, but after seeing it with their own eyes, it didn't seem that amazing. Nine huge black pots were steaming passionately, but there was no taste.
Had the ingredients not been added, or was this thing not delicious at all? It wasn't as magical as Dog Song had described?
Everyone was puzzled, but it wasn't appropriate to say anything in front of Dog Song. After all, the Laba Congee was free. It wasn't like the monk was trying to scam them or anything. They were only there out of curiosity, so they decided to watch the show from the side. If it was delicious, they could drink more. If it wasn't, they could drink less and never come again.
Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Dog Song scratched his head and said, "I'm guessing that it's filled with water. The ingredients haven't been added yet."
Everyone nodded slightly, indicating that it was likely the case.
However, Dog Song still secretly found Red Boy and whispered, "Jingxin, are there any ingredients in the pot?"
Red Boy looked at the curious Dog Song and smiled. Then, he pressed his palms together and left.
Upon seeing this scene, Dog Song wore a baffled look. He had no idea what was going on … Was he nodding or shaking his head? Dog Song wanted to chase after him to ask, but the tourists called out to him. He had no choice but to help set up the tent.
After Red Boy entered the monastery, he looked bitterly at Fangzheng. "Master, when will this end? When can I speak to outsiders? "
Fangzheng looked up at the bodhi tree and said indifferently, "I'll be able to speak to everyone after the Laba Festival."
Red Boy said bitterly, "Why is that?"
Fangzheng sighed. "Buddha says, 'Don't say.'"
Red Boy rolled his eyes and said, "Master, it's boring if you do that. You don't know, looking at those guys' curious faces, I really want to give them a good talk. Especially those who doubt the taste of our Laba Congee. I really wish to press them into the pot and smell what fragrance is! Then, I'll kick them down the mountain, making them only be able to smell it and not eat it! Jingfa, Jingkuan, Jingzhen, and Salted Fish, don't you find it uncomfortable not being able to speak to outsiders? "
Red Boy wanted to get a few accomplices to fight against this overbearing monk, but he had clearly gotten the wrong person.
Jingfa, Jingzhen, Jingkuan, and Salted Fish widened their eyes at him. Then, Squirrel said adorably, "Fourth Junior Brother, isn't it just that we can't talk to outsiders? What's the big deal? We can talk about it ourselves … "
Lone Wolf rolled his eyes and said indifferently, "You speak as if we can talk to outsiders normally …"
Salted Fish stretched his back and said, "Child, be content. At the very least, you can still run around alive and well in front of outsiders. As for me, I can only play dead on the ground. What did I say? Sigh … Just think of Senior's bitterness, and you won't have to suffer anymore. "
When Red Boy heard this, he was instantly speechless. He really wanted to slap himself. He had actually forgotten about this matter. These people were not allies at all!
As Fangzheng listened to Red Boy ramble on, all he did was smile calmly. However, he felt extremely bitter in his heart. He asked the System, "System, this is meaningless. It's fine if you only take care of me, but this time, you're taking care of the entire monastery! "
The System said languidly, "Do you think I want to take care of you? I'm only reminding you out of goodwill! Do you think you are still the same you from a year ago? Do you think One Finger Monastery is still the same One Finger Monastery from before? Do you think the Laba Congee is still the Laba Congee from a year ago? "
"This Penniless Monk should still be This Penniless Monk. One Finger Monastery can't be considered the One Finger Monastery from a year ago, but what has that got to do with the Laba Congee? Isn't the cooking method of the Laba Congee all the same? Boil it, add the water, bring it to a boil, add the ingredients, and simmer it slowly? " Fangzheng clearly remembered that the Laba Congee from a year ago was made with a piece of white paper. The content written on it was as simple as it could be!
The System said, "You are no longer you. Were you this handsome a year ago?"
Fangzheng was taken aback as he subconsciously rubbed his bald head and grinned. "This Penniless Monk was naturally …"
"Think carefully before you speak. Don't blame me for not warning you if you get struck by lightning," the System suddenly interrupted.
Fangzheng rolled his eyes when he heard that. "Fine, fine, fine. It's different. What has that got to do with the Laba Congee? Can we get straight to the point? "
The System said, "I'm not spouting nonsense. I'm just telling you that everything about you is different. Appearance comes from the heart, and your heart is constantly breaking through your limits. A year ago, you were spewing vulgarities and curses. What about the you a year later? A year ago, you were poor, but what about the you a year later? Now, you have great merit on you. The items you can draw at the lottery are not something that can be compared to a year ago. Therefore, the Laba Congee you obtain is naturally different.
The Laba Congee you obtained this time is called Speechless Eight Treasures.
The Speechless Eight Treasures' effects are twice as good as the ordinary Laba Congee from last year! Don't be discontented. The black pot you have here is too trashy. It can't seal the Spirit Qi of the Speechless Eight Treasures, so it's already not bad that it has such effects. Typically, the Speechless Eight Treasures should be able to increase the effects by ten times.
Unfortunately, you can't use the usual method of cooking congee because your pot is lacking. You have to find another way!
This time, although it's called cooking congee, it's actually cooking you! By not speaking, you can seal the final bit of Spirit Qi of the Speechless Eight Treasures, making its effects even better. "
Fangzheng was dumbfounded. "System Bro, cooking This Penniless Monk? Is the Laba Congee this time going to be This Penniless Monk's bathwater? "
The System said exasperatedly, "Don't you know how much Spirit Qi there is in this crappy world of yours? Do you really think the Speechless Eight Treasures can be cooked anywhere? If your monastery didn't have sufficient incense offerings, wishes of all living beings, and merit, do you think I would give you the Speechless Eight Treasures? The Speechless Eight Treasures can seal the final ten percent of Spirit Qi because of the monastery and the wishes of all living beings in you!
To put it bluntly, the water is cooking the wishes of all living beings in your bodies. When the wishes fuse into the Laba Congee, it increases the effects of the Laba Congee. From there, it can heal the hidden ailments of all living beings and increase their vitality! But the moment you open your mouth, it's equivalent to opening the lid of the pot. When that happens, everything will escape. Do you understand now? "
Only then did Fangzheng come to a realization. "If you had said so earlier, wouldn't I have understood? What's the point of saying so much? "
The System was instantly infuriated by his words. "I thought you had graduated from primary school. I never expected you to lecture like a kindergarten teacher. Don't ask me if there's nothing in the future!"
Then, no matter how Fangzheng shouted, the System remained silent.
Fangzheng shrugged and looked innocently into the sky. He thought, "Is this my fault?"
Following that, Fangzheng chuckled. This was the first time he had infuriated the System. It felt pretty good!
