Li Daguang said, "That's impossible. At least one thing is certain. This animal can speak! And that bamboo. Have you ever seen bamboo grow in a world of ice and snow? "
Baird said, "Bamboo is a product of nature after all. The world is huge, and there are all sorts of wonders. Aren't there living creatures at the bottom of the sea that are said to be living creatures? As for why monkeys and dogs can speak, there must be a reason behind it. I even suspect that the monkey is a mutated human … "
"Alright, stop letting your imaginations run wild. What's the point of such a huge country propping up a magical monk? "Yalman said.
Baird said, "The Chinese are best at doing baffling things. Then, when they reveal the answer, it will shock the entire world. It's just like how they build atomic bombs, satellites, and space stations. When they do it, who would believe that they would succeed? "
The few of them fell silent.
Baird continued, "That's why I think there's something fishy going on."
"If this gets out, I'm afraid you can forget about drinking bamboo tea for the rest of your life," Li Daguang said.
Baird fell silent when he heard that …
After a long while, Baird said, "The Chinese say that you can't have your cake and eat it too. It's good to have good food, but there's nothing wrong with insisting on the truth. I'll just watch. If there's really something fishy going on, I'll expose them no matter what. If there's nothing fishy, I'm willing to return and help them promote it. Consider it compensation. "
The few of them nodded slightly, expressing their agreement with Baird.
In fact, everyone had considered Baird's idea.
However, they were already old and didn't really want to care too much about it. However, since Baird had stepped forward, they didn't mind helping him.
Just as they were chatting happily, figures began to appear on the mountain path again. This time, there were three of them.
Then, there were five, six …
More and more people appeared. The originally deserted mountaintop gradually became more lively.
Baird said, "Why are they standing by the water's side?"
"I don't know. Let's go and take a look," Li Daguang said.
The few of them nodded and followed.
The visitors were a little surprised to see a few foreigners.
Although Mt. One Finger was very famous, it was ultimately just a small scenic spot in China. It was just too small.
It wasn't a place of interest, so the pilgrims who came were mostly Chinese.
The sudden appearance of a few foreigners inevitably surprised everyone. However, they just took a look and didn't take it too seriously.
More and more people gathered, and soon, hundreds of people had gathered on the mountain top!
Baird and the others turned their heads and saw a dense mass of heads. Furthermore, everyone was gathered near the Heavenly Dragon Pond. Those who could squeeze forward tried their best to stand forward.
Li Daguang finally couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed a person and asked, "Brother, why is everyone squeezing here? Is it to enter the monastery first? "
The person caught by Li Daguang was also an old man. His face was covered in wrinkles and he looked even older than Li Daguang.
Having been addressed as brother by a young lad like Li Daguang, the other party was clearly in a good mood. He chuckled and said, "You can enter the monastery at any time. Everyone is here to see: the morning bell and evening drum draped in golden robes, the colorful clouds and the Nine Revolutions Lantern."
Hearing this, everyone was curious.
Li Daguang even asked, "The morning bell and evening drum are draped in golden robes, the colorful clouds and the Nine Revolutions Lamp? What's this? "
"You don't know? Why are you here if you don't know? "the old man asked in surprise.
A dark cloud hung over Li Daguang's head. What was he doing here? He was here to drink tea!
Seeing that Li Daguang really didn't know, the old man chuckled and said, "What I just said was a summary of what everyone said about One Finger Monastery. As for what it means, you can see for yourself later. "
Upon hearing the old man's words, Li Daguang and company became even more interested.
They weren't in a hurry. They originally planned on checking the Internet, but after some thought, they gave up. It was a good thing to have more anticipation and less secrets revealed.
Just as they were chatting happily, Baird suddenly exclaimed, "There's someone on the bridge!"
The few of them looked up and saw a white-robed monk slowly crossing the Bridge of Helplessness with a walking Salted Fish, a squirrel, and a young acolyte. They pushed open the door and entered One Finger Monastery.
"Is that Fangzheng?" Yalman shouted.
"Chase after him!" Ottosky immediately wanted to chase after him.
However, he was stopped by the old man beside him. "Wait, it's almost daybreak."
Ottosky was dumbfounded. "It's daybreak. What's wrong?"
The old man said, "If you go up now, you will be beaten."
Ottosky was still dumbfounded. He didn't understand what the old man meant.
On the other hand, Li Daguang and Yalman often read Chinese news, so they knew a little. They subconsciously said, "Morning bell and evening drum?"
The old man nodded slightly and said, "Yes, the most beautiful moment of One Finger Monastery's day is about to arrive. Watch carefully and don't cause trouble. Otherwise, I'll only help if others beat you."
Ottosky looked at the shriveled old man and thought nothing of it. However, when he looked at the hundreds of spectators, he decisively gave up the thought of rushing out.
Indeed, Fangzheng walked to the door and opened the monastery's door. He said something to the inside, and the monkey that Ottosky hated came out again. Then, one of them walked to the drum tower while the other walked to the bell tower.
The moment the bell and drum sounded, the eastern sky lit up with the first rays of dawn.
The old man sighed. "It's daybreak …"
However, the five of them didn't hear this sigh because they were completely immersed in the bell and drum.
The drum rumbled, blasting out all the darkness in their hearts. Their eyes were bloodshot as they panted, as though they were about to devour someone at any moment.
When the old man saw this scene, he wasn't surprised at all. People who heard the bell and drum for the first time would basically be like this.
Everyone called it the Bell and Drum Baptism. After the baptism, everyone would let go of a lot of psychological burdens. They would be able to let go of some things that they couldn't think of, and they would feel much more relaxed.
However, to the old man's surprise, the fierce-looking man from Country E's breathing became more and more rapid. In the end, he sat on the ground like a child and started crying …
Still, no one mocked him. Everyone sighed and said, "Another pitiful person."
Ottosky seemed to be a fuse as Yalman cried as well …
Then, it was the most cynical old man, Li Daguang. As he cried, he shouted his sister's name …
Although Baird and Nicholas didn't cry, they clenched their fists tightly. Clearly, the things deep in their hearts had been dug out. They were facing something they didn't want to face the most …
The bell and drum continued, and so did the crying.
