"There really are fish!" Fangzheng smiled when he saw a large school of fish swim over.
"Who's calling us?" asked a fish as it emerged from the water.
Fangzheng hurriedly said, "Amitabha. This Penniless Monk is calling you."
"Why did you call us?" Yu asked straightforwardly.
Fangzheng smiled. "This Penniless Monk wishes to cross the river. Do you think you can send This Penniless Monk over?"
"Are you talking to us?" the fish asked blankly.
Fangzheng said, "That's right. I'm talking to you."
"Then what are you going to do?" asked the fish.
"This Penniless Monk wishes to cross the river. He wishes for you to send This Penniless Monk across the river," said Fangzheng patiently.
"Who are you talking to?" the fish asked more patiently.
"With you, of course."
"Why did you call me? Tell me. "The fish asked with a serious expression.
"This Penniless Monk wishes to cross the river. He wishes for you to send This Penniless Monk across the river," explained Fangzheng.
"Who are you talking to?" the fish asked more seriously.
Fangzheng: "# ¥% ¥#&… * &"
Fang Zhengzhi stared at the fish in front of him. He swore that if he wasn't a monk, he would definitely catch this fella, steam it, and fry it! This guy was definitely teasing him!
Right at this moment, a small fish swam over and said, "Mommy, what are you talking about?"
"I didn't say anything. What did I say just now?" the fish said.
"What?" Little Fish asked adorably.
When Fangzheng saw this, he suddenly realized a problem. An expert had once said that a fish's memory only lasted seven seconds!
"Seven seconds … Seven seconds my ass! This fish's memory is less than three seconds! " Fangzheng lampooned inwardly. Faced with these fish with horrible memories, Fangzheng finally gave up on getting them to carry him across the river. Otherwise, even if these fellows agreed, they might forget about it halfway and scatter. He would be in trouble.
Therefore, Fangzheng waved his hand and said, "It's fine. Everyone, disperse."
"Who is this person talking to?" Mother Fish asked Little Fish.
Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "You must be crazy … Let's go, let's go …"
Thus, the school of fish scattered in an instant.
When Fangzheng heard that, he could not help but smile wryly … Was he sick? If he wasn't a monk, he would definitely jump into the river to catch the fish!
Since he could not count on the fish, Fangzheng looked up into the sky. What should he do? This is a problem.
On the other side of the river, Elder Du frowned when he saw Fangzheng stand up and the school of fish scatter. Squatting down and saying a few words, the fishes gathered together. Standing up, the fishes dispersed … If this was a fish pond, he would have believed it. The fish in Baihe City were also wild. He had never seen anyone with such ability in his life!
"It should be a coincidence …" Elder Du muttered in his heart.
On Village Viewing Cliff, Wu Ming was too far away, so he could not see the school of fish clearly. All he saw was Fangzheng squatting down and standing up as he muttered to himself. He believed that Fangzheng was out of solutions and was overjoyed. He chuckled as he went to his monastery's seat. As long as Fangzheng did not cross the river, there was no need for him to worry.
Just as Fangzheng was at his wit's end.
The System said, "A friendly reminder. You've received a good review from the System for chasing away the thieves. In addition to the praise you gave for helping Lu Shuangshuang regain her confidence in life, you now have two good reviews. "
"Good review? Wait, if I recall correctly, can two good reviews give me a chance at the draw? "Fangzheng suddenly recalled the matter!
"Ding! Congratulations, you have finally recalled it. That's right. You now have one chance at the draw, "said the System.
Fangzheng was rendered speechless as he grumbled, "Why didn't you remind me?"
"Have you forgotten why I helped you be a reporter?" asked the System.
Fangzheng was left speechless. Although it was the responsibility of the System, it had always been a little unreliable and indecent. Only him? He might as well rely on himself.
Therefore Fangzheng said, "Forget it. Help me at the draw. I hope I can get something useful. If not, I'll have to swim over. Sigh. Swimming over would be a little pathetic. "
Fangzheng had the White Lunar Monk Robe to protect him. Although the river water was cold in winter, it was only a little cold to him. It would not harm his body. Swimming over was obviously not a problem. The only problem was that he would lose his image and look pathetic.
Now that Fangzheng knew that someone was messing with him, he felt indignant if he were to swim over in such a pathetic state!
"Do you want to begin the draw now?" asked the System.
"Yes, begin!" said Fangzheng with certainty.
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining Buddha Shoes — Pudu! "
"Uh, just a pair of shoes?" Fangzheng asked with a look of disdain.
Pa!
A pair of shoes landed in Fangzheng's hands. It was a pair of straw shoes made of unknown grass. They did not look much, but they were the essence of simplicity. It was only natural for them to be disdained!
No matter how Fangzheng looked at them, they looked like the kind of worn-out straw shoes that a shoemaker would throw at the entrance of a supermarket in a small town at the foot of the mountain. Two yuan a pair depended on the buyer's mood, much less ten yuan a pair. He really couldn't see anything special about it.
"Ding! The Buddha Shoes' name is Pudu. When wearing these shoes, one will not sink in water, burn in fire, sink in mud, or be contaminated by evil or dirt. They are odorless and odorless. "
"Isn't that just to prevent foot odor? Uh … Not sink in water? "Fangzheng suddenly came to a realization. The shoes were awesome! His problem was solved!
Fangzheng immediately asked, "System, are you sure I won't sink in water when wearing these shoes?"
"A product of the System. It is genuine and honest," said the System.
"Then, doesn't being contaminated by dirt and odorless and odorless mean that there's no need to wash it? It's specialized in treating foot odor and doesn't need to be washed? "quipped Fangzheng casually.
"Yes."
"Good shoes!" Fangzheng immediately changed his evaluation. He smiled as he looked at the White River in front of him. How could a mere river stop him, Venerable Fangzheng? He wanted to posture today!
Fangzheng smiled extremely happily. Finally, he threw his head back and roared with laughter.
He exchanged looks with Elder Du and Hong Xiang before shaking his head. "This monk has really gone mad."
Meanwhile on the mountain.
A venerable monk in a red Kasaya walked to Village Viewing Cliff with a monk staff in hand. He whispered to a novice monk, "Is everyone here?"
"Abbot, basically everyone is here. However, One Finger Monastery's Abbot Fangzheng has yet to arrive. I wonder if he isn't coming or if he was held up by something, "whispered the young novice monk.
"One Finger Monastery's Fangzheng?" Zen Master Baiyun's white brows knitted together slightly as though he was wondering which monastery One Finger Monastery was.
"Senior Brother, it's the One Finger Monastery that was stirred up on the news a few days ago. It's said that Fangzheng's calligraphy is pretty good and he defeated a calligrapher. Besides, there has been some incense offerings recently. Therefore, we sent them an invitation, "whispered an old monk.
"This Penniless Monk recalls that the monastery's abbot is still a child. It must have been hard on him. Since he isn't here, let's wait, "whispered Zen Master Baiyun. Following that, everyone took their seats.
