Chen Long said with a bitter smile, "Actually, I'm considered a spy. My friend, Cheng Hao, took Master away … Uh, Master, where's my friend? If you leave, he won't let you go, right? "
Fangzheng said, "Don't worry. I knocked him out when I came out."
Chen Long knew that the two new apprentices had followed Li Qing to listen to the rules, so he said, "But it's been so long …"
Fangzheng said, "Don't worry. This Penniless Monk just went back and he fell asleep again."
Chen Long was instantly speechless … Looking at Fangzheng's expression, he was not asleep. It was likely that he had been knocked unconscious again.
Chen Long began to pity Cheng Hao, but he was not angry. Instead, he was very grateful to Fangzheng.
After all, Fangzheng was there to save him.
Chen Long said, "I just said that I'm here as a spy. Cheng Hao is a partner of my company. He's a very good person. He's usually honest and hardworking. Later, I found out that he had disappeared for a while. I was worried sick. His wife cried every day. It only ended when Cheng Hao returned half a month later.
I thought that everything would be fine now that he was back.
But the moment he came back, he told me that he wanted to withdraw his investment and sell all his shares. He was in urgent need of money.
I didn't know why he was in such a hurry, so I asked him, but he refused to tell me.
Since Cheng Hao insisted on selling, I had no choice but to pay for his shares.
You might not know, but my company has been on the rise for the past year. It's improving every day, and many people are optimistic about its future.
I really couldn't figure out why he was doing this.
Later, his wife came to me and said that Cheng Hao wanted to sell his house. He even wanted to sell the school district house that he had painstakingly saved up for his children's future and his wedding house!
More importantly, his wife didn't know why he was selling these houses!
No one in the family was sick, and no one was in trouble. Everything was fine. There was no need for him to go through so much trouble.
At the same time, she realized that all the money at home had been taken away by Cheng Hao.
One time, she went to buy groceries without any money. She asked Cheng Hao for money, but he didn't have a single cent on him!
When I heard that, I immediately felt that something was amiss.
I immediately asked Cheng Hao about the situation. Unfortunately, Cheng Hao didn't say anything. He asked directly, "Do you believe in God in this world?"
With that said, Chen Long said helplessly, "If it were anyone else, they would probably say that they don't believe it. But I've seen Grandmaster's methods, so naturally I believe it. So I nodded … "
Fangzheng said, "He treated you as one of his own and led you here?"
Chen Long nodded and said, "Yes, he said that everything he did was inexplicable. If I wanted to know, I could come with him, so here I am. I didn't expect that I would be detained as soon as I arrived. Then, I'm brainwashed by these people every day. However, I'm also rather curious. Every time I'm about to give in to their brainwashing, I'll always hear the bell and drum of One Finger Monastery. Their brainwashing technique seemed to be … nothing in front of the drumming!
As soon as the bell rang, all the irritation disappeared.
Moreover, when my mind was clear, I would subconsciously look at the deepest thoughts in my heart. Then, I would understand my purpose for coming here. All the confusion disappeared. However, in order to confuse them, I pretended to be the same as them. I was waiting for the day I graduated and went out to report them.
Speaking of which, I have to thank Master for this. If not for the bell and drum, I would have become like them, muddle-headed.
I might even be like Cheng Hao. A good family was forcefully destroyed. "
Fangzheng said, "Patron Cheng Hao, what did he do with the money? Is he really that short of money? "
When Chen Long heard this, he let out a long sigh and said, "He doesn't lack money. The one who really lacks money is this cult. This cult says that they won't take a single cent, but in fact, they want to swallow you whole! "
Red Boy said, "What do you mean?"
Chen Long said, "They didn't charge you and tricked you in. Then, they brainwashed you every day and prayed. After a while, you really believed their nonsense. You really thought that the world was about to be destroyed and that there would really be a huge Pleiadian spacecraft coming to pick you up. Then, they would say that the activities needed funds, and they wouldn't ask for it from you. However, they have already been brainwashed into devout believers. They will naturally give everything they have to you. Furthermore, they will be very happy to give it to you, afraid that you won't want it!
In their words, the world is about to be destroyed. What's the point of keeping money? Of course, it's to save humanity and create the future. "
Red Boy covered his face and said, "These fools …"
Fangzheng stroked Red Boy's head and said, "They're not fools. Just as This Penniless Monk said a long time ago, there are many people in the world, but there aren't many people who have their own thoughts and ability to think.
Everyone thinks that they are unique individuals. In fact, they are like plasticine from a young age. They are molded by others. However, some are molded in a good way, while others are molded in a bad way.
When you were born, your parents molded you to sever your fantasies and put you in a school bag.
When you grew up, your teacher molded you to teach you benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust.
When you enter society, society doesn't mold you. It directly kneads you. It kneads you into a ball with distinct features. "
With that said, Fangzheng continued, "When you were just born, you were like colorful plasticine. All kinds of colors could be combined at will. It was extremely beautiful. But when you mix all the colors together and knead them into a ball … Do you know what color it is? "
Red Boy said matter-of-factly, "It's indifferent to all colors."
Chen Long shook his head and said, "You definitely haven't played with plasticine before. Real plasticine, once all the colors are kneaded into a ball, the final color will definitely be black! It's a black ball without any color. It's a monotonous, black ball of mud! "
Fangzheng nodded and said, "That's right. If you can't resist the temptation of society and are kneaded into a black ball of mud without any special characteristics, you will also lose your uniqueness as a person. To be precise, you are just a human robot that this society has cloned through all means due to a certain need. All your words and actions, as well as all your thoughts, have been imprisoned by this world. You think that you are walking a unique path, but in fact, you are walking on a fixed path. Furthermore, you will continue walking until the day of death.
Even the time of death has been set in advance … "
Red Boy said with a look of horror, "Oh my god, Master, the society you are talking about is like a great demon! It's even more ferocious than us! "
