Seeing that Fangzheng seemed to be serious, Lone Wolf hurriedly turned and ran. Monkey ran as well, but Monkey could not run fast on the ground.
Finally, in front of the temple hall, Fangzheng led the way to kneel in front of the Buddha statue. Behind him knelt a wolf, a monkey, and a squirrel. Squirrel and Monkey were fine as they did not feel much pressure kneeling on their two legs. However, Lone Wolf was close to tears. This was truly difficult for a wolf!
Fangzheng said, "The three of you have just gained sentience, but your bestial nature has never changed. Especially Monkey. You liked to steal back in Baiyun Monastery. Back then, you were a wild monkey in the mountains. No one taught you anything. But now that you have entered One Finger Monastery, you are This Penniless Monk's disciple. It is This Penniless Monk's fault for not teaching you well. "
After the film crew left, everything seemed to have come to an end, but Fangzheng realized that some things hadn't passed.
For example, the dilemma of whether to kill or not to kill was still unresolved. Or, was it the monkey's fault this time or his? Finally, Fangzheng realized that it wasn't Monkey's fault. No matter how clever Monkey was, it was ultimately an animal. Animals were curious, so why would they care what they were taking? All he cared about was whether it was fun or not and whether he was interested.
Ignorance was not a sin, so the sin was ultimately on him. It was his fault for not being able to discipline her properly. When he made a mistake, he did not make a prompt decision to admit his mistake and return the item. Instead, he chose to hide the item because of shyness between a man and a woman. Although he later figured it out, it was too slow. A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit. After experiencing this matter, Fangzheng understood many things.
But a mistake was a mistake. He couldn't let it go just because it was in the past.
Fangzheng said, "The three of you, listen up. In the future, you are not to touch anything that doesn't belong to you. Understand?"
Lone Wolf and Squirrel nodded immediately, indicating that they understood their mistakes.
When Monkey heard that, he said aggrievedly, "When I was in Baiyun Monastery, no one said I couldn't take it. Why are there so many restrictions here? "
Fangzheng turned to look at Monkey and asked, "Can This Penniless Monk secretly take the peaches you plucked?"
"Of course not," said Monkey.
"Why not?" returned Fangzheng with a question.
"I plucked it, so it's mine. How could you take it away secretly?" Monkey said confidently.
Fangzheng smiled. "Then can you take something that belongs to others? Don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you. If you don't want to suffer, why do you want others to suffer? Monkey, do you want shoes to be thrown at you everywhere you go, or do you want peaches to be stuffed into your mouth everywhere you go? "
Monkey was stunned. He scratched his butt and said, "Of course it's peaches."
"People will give peaches to those who bring happiness to others, and shoes will be thrown at those who bring misery to others. Stay in the temple hall today. This Penniless Monk will accompany you to think it through. You can leave when you have thought it through, "said Fangzheng.
Monkey was stunned. He scratched his butt and asked, "Where's the rice?"
"We can eat when you have thought it through," said Fangzheng.
"Ah … Is this really possible?" Monkey panicked.
"If you kneel for a day, This Penniless Monk will kneel for two days. If you kneel for two days, This Penniless Monk will kneel for four days."
Monkey was rendered speechless by Fangzheng's double punishment. All he could do was obediently kneel and think. However, although he knew that what he had done was wrong, his stubborn temper flared up. He grumbled inwardly, "So what if it's taken? Why blame me …"
Fangzheng ignored Monkey. After making Lone Wolf and Squirrel kneel the entire morning, he let them leave. After all, they were only accomplices and they had a good attitude in admitting their mistakes. As for Monkey, he remained stubborn. After kneeling the entire morning, he found his knees uncomfortable. He shuffled back and forth but refused to admit his mistakes.
Fangzheng was in no hurry. If Monkey refused to admit his mistakes, he would accompany him. Besides, Fangzheng was also pondering over his mistakes …
"I'm ultimately lacking in cultivation. I panicked when encountering trouble and lost my mind. I kept thinking of hiding it, but I forgot that the Heavenly Dao is impartial. How can mistakes be hidden?" With this in mind, Fangzheng realized that he had committed more than one mistake!
With this in mind, he sighed and got up. "Monkey, let's go."
Monkey was taken aback. "Abbot, where are we going? Can we stop reflecting on our mistakes? "
"Follow This Penniless Monk down the mountain."
"Down the mountain?" Monkey was stunned.
"Down the mountain to admit my mistakes." As Fangzheng spoke, he had already walked out of the temple hall.
Monkey exclaimed perplexedly, "Isn't it all in the past?"
"The matter has passed, but I can't let go of my heart. Monkey, do you feel at ease? "asked Fangzheng.
Monkey subconsciously scratched his ass. "It's alright …"
At the foot of the mountain, the film crew was already packing up. They were prepared to leave that very night. One by one, the props, clothes, and other items were sent into the car. Lin Dongshi did the inventory while Luo Li did the headcount. Yu Guanze and Li Xueying were discussing the script.
At that moment, Old Tao suddenly exclaimed, "Venerable Fangzheng, why are you here? Are you reluctant to part with us? "
When everyone heard that, they subconsciously looked over. They saw Fangzheng walking over with a calm look. His smile seemed to have a sense of relief. Behind him was a bashful Monkey. He covered his face every two steps he took.
"Venerable Fangzheng, are you here to send us off?" asked a woman with a smile.
Li Xueying and Yu Guanze looked over when they heard that. Li Xueying had an ominous feeling when she saw the calm look on Fangzheng's face. She thought to herself, "This monk won't have any evil thoughts, right?"
Fangzheng shook his head. "Amitabha. This Penniless Monk is here to apologize."
"Apologize?" Everyone was stunned. Over the past few days of interaction, everyone knew Fangzheng's character. He was a very kind monk. His smile was radiant and he treated everyone well. No one had a bad impression of him.
Li Xueying knew that something was amiss! Just as she was about to stand up to stop him, she saw Fangzheng cast his gaze at her. His eyes were clear, without any impurities. Li Xueying sighed when she saw his eyes. She knew that if she did not mention the matter, Fangzheng would not be Fangzheng. The reason why he gave off a feeling of cleanliness was because his heart was clean. He could not tolerate any impurities. If he did not mention it, it would be the accumulated maladies in his heart.
When Fangzheng saw that Li Xueying did not move, he said, "Patrons, the matter of you losing your items a few days ago was actually This Penniless Monk's fault."
"What!?" Many people exclaimed in shock, especially the men. They wore looks of shock as they looked at Fangzheng oddly. It was not a look of disgust but a look of admiration and teasing.
Lin Dongshi even covered his face and grumbled secretly, "F * * k, Master is the role model of our generation. F * * k, can't you give me one of the undergarments? I can ignore the others, but I'm willing to spend all my money on Xueying's … "
By the side, Luo Li rolled his eyes at him and said, "Useless fool … I only want Xiaoliu."
Lin Dongshi: "# ¥% ¥# … amp; amp; amp;"
