Wang Yougui didn't think too much about it. Instead, he smiled and said, "Alright, who cares about him. As long as he's awesome, that's fine. Speaking of serious matters, County Head Qi had just called and said that he was going to be promoted and might go to Black River to be a leader. The leader of Black River City is about to retire and has taken the initiative to give up his position. "
Fangzheng pressed his palms together. "Amitabha. Congratulations, County Head Qi."
Wang Yougui continued, "We've gone off track again. County Head Qi was also a messenger. He said that the country is prepared to help you ask for a huge compensation! However, this negotiation process may take longer than you think. I told you not to worry. "
Fangzheng shook his head. "This Penniless Monk isn't in a rush. Slow work yields fine results."
Wang Yougui was relieved when he saw that Fangzheng wasn't in a rush. He immediately bade farewell and left to inform County Head Qi.
With Wang Yougui's departure, One Finger Monastery regained its peace.
Fangzheng also began attempting to walk out of the backyard every day to meet the devotees. However, every time he went out, he would be surrounded several times. There were even children who threw money at him … It infuriated Salted Fish that Fangzheng was stealing his business.
Helpless, Fangzheng could only reduce the number of times he went out. He squatted in the backyard and began carving in peace.
As the days passed and the new year approached, the number of tourists increased. Fangzheng looked at the incense offerings that shot into the sky and felt a sense of satisfaction.
However, the heavens apparently couldn't stand the sight of One Finger Monastery. Suddenly, there was a huge snowstorm. When Fangzheng woke up the next day and went out to take a look, he saw that the monastery's backyard was piled with snow the height of a person!
Fangzheng hurriedly shouted, "Jingfa, are you alright?"
The reason why he asked was because Squirrel was on the tree, Monkey and Red Boy were sleeping in the woodshed, and Salted Fish was sleeping in the Heavenly Dragon Pond. Only Lone Wolf slept in the courtyard, and he was also the one most affected by the heavy snow.
"Master, are you calling me?" Lone Wolf's voice came from not far away. Then, a large white wolf soared into the sky, somersaulted in the air, and fell down! With a puff, the shadow disappeared.
When Fangzheng saw this, he suddenly thought of a game. The game's name was — Dog Throwing!
He threw the dog with a broken leg into the snow, and it disappeared in an instant … as if he had lost it.
However, a lone wolf wasn't a dog. After falling into the snow, he used his brute force to jump up again. After a few leaps, he arrived in front of Fangzheng. He shook his body and shook off the snow. "Master, this snow is really heavy! I haven't seen such heavy snow in years. "
Fangzheng nodded as well. At that moment, he heard Red Boy shout, "Master, return me my divine power. This bit of snow can be settled in seconds!"
Following that, he heard Salted Fish shout excitedly from afar. "I'm here!"
Almost at the same time, Fangzheng saw a line appear on the flat snowy ground. The line rapidly appeared in front of him and with a whoosh, a salted fish tore out of the snow!
Lone Wolf was shocked. He raised his paw and slapped down!
Pa!
Salted Fish, who had just charged out of the snow and was about to shout, was smashed back into the snow.
Not long after, he heard someone shouting in the snow, "Who is it? This is too much! "
Lone Wolf hurriedly said, "Master, I'm going to clear the snow." With that said, the stupid wolf hopped away.
Salted Fish crawled out and said angrily, "Master, who slapped me just now?"
Fangzheng said, "Your eldest senior brother."
"Eldest Senior Brother, wait for me. I have delicious food here!" Salted Fish chased after him.
"What? What delicious food? "
"Salted Fish Shadowless Kick!"
"Ah …"
…
Fangzheng ignored the two noisy fellows and hurriedly got Monkey and Red Boy to help sweep the snow.
"Master, won't it be easy if you give me the divine power?" Red Boy asked.
Fangzheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Sweeping snow is also a form of cultivation. Not only are you not allowed to use divine powers, but you are also not allowed to use brute force. Sweep slowly!"
With that said, Fangzheng moved out a small folding stool and sat by the door to play with his cell phone.
When Red Boy saw this, a dark cloud hung over his head as he asked, "Master, what are you doing when we sweep the snow for cultivation?"
Fangzheng said in all seriousness, "I'm supervising your cultivation. This is a huge amount of mental work."
Red Boy shot a glance at Fangzheng who was playing and thought, "It's indeed mental work. Darn baldy who scams his disciple!"
Although he grumbled, Red Boy and Monkey obediently swept the snow.
Red Boy was puzzled as he asked Monkey, "Senior Brother, don't you have any thoughts about Master getting you to sweep the snow?"
Monkey said, "What's there to think about? If I don't sweep the snow, I'll sweep the leaves. I'm used to it. Master is right. Sweeping the leaves and snow is a form of cultivation. "
Red Boy said in surprise, "Senior Brother, have you figured out the truth behind it? Tell me about it? "
Monkey said, "When I first started sweeping the leaves, I was impatient. Later on, as I swept … I discovered a shocking secret!"
Red Boy asked, "What secret?"
Monkey said, "After sweeping for a long time, I got used to it."
Red Boy: "…"
Although the snow did not continue, it would fall for half a day and stop for half a day. It lasted for half a month! Although Red Boy and the other super laborers helped sweep the snow on Mt. One Finger, there was always a path up the mountain.
However, the roads between the villages, the roads from the county city to the village, and the roads in other areas were all cut off. As a result, the devotees on One Finger Monastery were reduced to their original state. Only a few villagers from One Finger Village were left.
After staying on the mountain for half a month, Fangzheng did not idle around. He carved some small objects and sat on the mountaintop, looking at the endless snow. He read the scriptures, walked the dog, played Salted Fish Ball, and led his disciples to build snowmen. His days were extremely relaxed and comfortable.
In less than half a month, Fangzheng had washed away the dust that had accumulated in his heart while he was overseas.
On this day, County Head Qi, who he had not seen in a long time, came.
This time, they did not meet in the monastery. Fangzheng set the meeting place in the Frost Bamboo forest. There was a small empty space in the forest, and there were tables and chairs made of bamboo. The two of them sat on the left and right, and there were no outsiders.
"Patron Qi, why are you free to come to This Penniless Monk today?" Fangzheng asked.
County Head Qi said with a smile, "I don't come to a temple for no reason. I only came to knock on your door because I have something to ask of you."
Fangzheng did not say a word as he quietly waited for County Head Qi to speak.
County Head Qi said, "Abbot Fangzheng, this is what happened. It was originally a negotiation between China and YDL, but later on, more and more people were implicated. In the beginning, many people and countries hid from us, afraid that we would come knocking on their doors. But later, we realized that these people actually took the initiative to come forward. They first admitted their mistakes before joining the negotiation team. "
