After returning to the mountaintop, the world immediately turned peaceful. A mountain, a temple, a monk, and a monkey knelt in the temple hall. They knelt for an entire day and night.
Although he had been forgiven and understood by the women, Fangzheng still believed that he had done something wrong and needed to be punished. It was karma. It was karma that belonged to him … It had nothing to do with the forgiveness of others.
This made things difficult for Monkey. Monkey had a wild personality and often wanted to slack off or run out for a stroll. Especially when he saw Lone Wolf running crazily in front of him, he yearned to rush out immediately. However, his tail was pressed down by the monk in front of him. He could not run at all and could only obediently kneel.
At the foot of the mountain, as the bus set off, the villagers sent the actors off. It was as though everything was returning to its former tranquility. However, some people were beaming with laughter, such as Wang Yougui.
"Village Chief, why are you laughing?" Dog Song asked out of curiosity.
"It's nothing. It's nothing. You will know in the future. It's a secret for now! Hahaha! "Wang Yougui laughed three times before leaving.
It left everyone puzzled.
On the bus, Li Xueying watched as Mt. One Finger gradually disappeared into the darkness. A look of loneliness flashed in her eyes.
"Sis Xueying, can't you bear to part with it?" Xiaoliu asked out of curiosity.
Li Xueying shook her head. "I can't bear to part with that relaxed feeling. Once I leave Mt. One Finger, I'll be busy again. Forget it. I'll take a nap. Wake me up when we arrive. "
"Alright," Xiaoliu replied despite not fully understanding her.
After an uneventful night, Monkey limped out the next day. After thinking the entire night, he finally succumbed to Fangzheng's tyranny. He promised never to steal again before being released. However, Fangzheng did not come out.
"Abbot, it's time to cook." Lone Wolf peeked his head into the temple hall.
"Amitabha. This Penniless Monk said that every day Monkey kneels is two days for This Penniless Monk. I won't eat! "
"Abbot, you can't not eat. If you don't eat, Squirrel will lose weight from starvation." Lone Wolf shot a glance at Squirrel.
Squirrel hurriedly hid the pine nuts in his hand behind his body. Although he did not understand what Lone Wolf was saying, he was very smart after spending time together. He could tell what was going on. He said to Fangzheng, "Abbot, I've really slimmed down from hunger. Can you bear to see me slimming down?"
Monkey rubbed his shriveled tummy and said bitterly, "Abbot, I know I was wrong. I guarantee I won't steal anything in the future. I'll definitely not take anything you forbid!"
As he spoke, Monkey secretly took away the pine nuts that Squirrel was hiding behind …
Fangzheng's back was facing them, so he did not know what they were doing. He did not care either as he looked up at the Ten Thousand Buddha plaque. "This Penniless Monk naturally has to do what he says. If he said he wouldn't eat, he wouldn't eat! I won't eat even if I'm hungry! "
The three little things immediately dispersed dejectedly. They sprawled lazily under the Bodhi tree … Although they could get some food, without the Crystal Rice as their staple food, they only felt that their days were boring …
At that moment, Monkey truly regretted stealing the undergarments. For something fun, he had starved for two days … He had suffered a huge loss!
Another day passed, and a new day arrived. As the sun rose, they heard Fangzheng whisper, "Lone Wolf, Monkey, come over."
Lone Wolf, Monkey, and Squirrel had been guarding outside the entire time. When they heard Fangzheng call them, they immediately ran over.
Lone Wolf asked, "Abbot, what's wrong?"
"Help me up. My legs are numb," said Fangzheng bitterly.
Lone Wolf: "# …"
Monkey came over and helped Fangzheng up. Fangzheng said, "Monkey, have you thought it through?"
Monkey nodded immediately.
Fangzheng said, "Since you have thought it through, it means you know your mistakes."
Monkey continued nodding.
"If you know your mistakes, then accept your punishment. In the future, you will be in charge of sweeping the yard. Get a broom. If there are any leaves on the ground before mealtime, your rations will be deducted," said Fangzheng.
Monkey subconsciously nodded, but he suddenly jolted to his senses. That wasn't right! He nearly fell into a pit as he hurriedly shouted, "Didn't I kneel before? Why am I still being punished? "
"That's to make you reflect on your mistakes. That's the punishment. Alright, get to work. I'll cook. Of course, you don't have to do it, but there will be no food to eat. "
Monkey thought of food and looked at the yard. He clenched his teeth. Wasn't it just a huge yard? Sweep it!
Then, Monkey picked up the broom and began sweeping like how Fangzheng usually swept the yard. Monkey's actions were swift, but he soon realized that sweeping the leaves was not that simple. If he swept too hard, the leaves would fly everywhere. If he swept too lightly, the leaves would stick to the ground, making it difficult to sweep. If he swept too quickly, some would fall … Helplessly, Monkey could only slow down and sweep slowly. This tormented his impatient personality, but when he caught a whiff of the rice fragrance from the backyard, he endured it!
However, Monkey soon discovered another problem that gave him a headache. As he swept, the bodhi tree kept falling! After sweeping, he had to return to sweep. He immediately had the thought of throwing the broom and going on strike. However, thinking of dinner and the two nights Fangzheng had knelt with him, Monkey scratched his ass, clenched his teeth, and continued sweeping …
Fangzheng's cooking was not that troublesome. He washed the pot, washed the rice, lit the fire, and all that was left was to wait. He looked at his cell phone and secretly observed Monkey's performance.
However, Monkey's tenacity exceeded Fangzheng's expectations. He originally thought that he would give up in a few moments, but he never expected that he would really settle down and sweep. Upon seeing this, Fangzheng nodded to himself. Monkey was not hopeless.
Fangzheng sat in the backyard and opened WeChat to take a look. There were dozens of friend requests! On careful look, they were all familiar faces. Yu Guanze, Lin Dongshi, Luo Li, Old Tao, Xiaoling, Xiaoliu, Li Xueying, and company were all there. Fangzheng accepted them one by one.
Then, Fangzheng realized that he had been pulled into a group. Its name was City-Toppling Beauty Group.
The moment he entered the group, Fangzheng saw everyone discussing fervently.
"Did you hear? The ransomware virus has begun again after a few days of rest. It's said that the cell phone is in danger."
"I heard that too. Even Country M's FBI has been blackmailed."
"Disneyland's latest movie has been stolen by hackers. Now, the hackers want a ransom, but it looks like Disneyland isn't paying. They even got the FBI. However, those jokers at the FBI actually made them pay … "
"This world has really gone mad. Hackers have gone mad too. They are actually openly blackmailing the entire world! There's really no law. "
"Eh? Venerable Fangzheng has entered the group! "Suddenly, someone named Xiaoling in the Wind shouted.
Following that, the topic of conversation immediately changed.
"Venerable Fangzheng, you are here? Sisters, welcome! "
