The next moment, Lone Wolf stood under the table, supporting himself with the table. But what left him depressed was what was growing on his head!?
Fangzheng beamed. Although the divine power was a little bitter, it tasted pretty good! What grew on Lone Wolf's head was none other than the large-leaved lettuce. More importantly, it grew one piece at a time! The speed of its growth was enough for Fangzheng to eat!
He broke off a basin, washed it, and placed it in a wok to stir-fry it.
Another basin, washed it, and ate it cold.
Another basin, washed it, and dipped it in sauce.
Another basin, added some water, and added some salt. A huge basin of nutritious vegetable soup was produced.
As for Lone Wolf, he was suffering. As he needed to support the table, he could only stand there motionless. Then, he watched as Fangzheng tore off pieces of green lettuce from his head. That feeling was very odd … Especially when the monk tore off the lettuce leaves, he mumbled. "Hehe, in ancient times, there was a cuckold. Now, Lone Wolf is growing lettuce. Hehe … Not bad … This divine power is really not bad."
Although Lone Wolf did not understand what Fangzheng meant, he instinctively felt that it was definitely not something good!
But when Fangzheng stuffed a piece of stir-fried lettuce into his mouth, Lone Wolf was no longer displeased. His eyes narrowed into slits. "Delicious … Really delicious …"
Fangzheng did not dare move his chopsticks when he saw Lone Wolf looking like a retard after eating it. He stroked his chin and mumbled. "Could it be that the lettuce is poisonous? Does eating it turn one stupid?"
As he spoke, Fangzheng looked up. Monkey had picked up a piece of lettuce leaf and placed it in his mouth. Then, his eyes lit up, and he looked like he was enjoying it. Then, he looked at Squirrel. After eating a piece of lettuce leaf, he stood rooted to the ground in a daze.
"From the looks of it, all of them have really turned silly …" Fangzheng made a judgment, but he immediately thought of a scene. Back when Wang Yougui and company ate his Crystal Rice, they appeared to be in such a state! Could it be that Lone Wolf's head was fertile land that had yet to be developed? The lettuce that grew from it was also extremely delicious?
"Don't be silly. That's a lettuce transformed from a divine power. And divine powers are used by Bodhisattvas and Buddhas. The vegetables growing on his head were naturally not from the mortal world, but from the Spiritual Mountain. This vegetable was not really growing on Lone Wolf's head. His roots were actually growing in the void, absorbing the Yuan Qi of the world. It just looked like it was growing on his head. Was it strange that such vegetables tasted good? Sigh, you guys are too short-sighted. That's your weakness, "the system said.
Fangzheng was rather happy when he heard the first half, but his face turned ashen when he heard the second half. "System, you really don't have a body. If not, you would definitely be beaten to death with that mouth of yours."
The System completely ignored Fangzheng. Fangzheng was happy that no one was bickering with him. Since it was something good and it did not grow out of Lone Wolf's brain, there was no need to stand on ceremony. Time to eat!
A piece of stir-fried lettuce entered his mouth. It was smooth and tender. With a light bite, the unique fragrance of the lettuce filled his mouth instantly. That feeling was indeed satisfying!
Together with a mouthful of Crystal Rice, the tender Crystal Rice accompanied the taste of the lettuce. Fangzheng realized that the taste was explosive!
When the cold lettuce entered his mouth, it gave him a completely different feeling. The lettuce had not been blanched, so it was especially crisp and sweet. It was like eating ice cream! It felt so good that it reached his heart!
He took the washed lettuce leaves and spread them on the table. He placed a few mouthfuls of Crystal Rice on them before adding the stir-fried lettuce. He smeared some sauce over it and wrapped it into a ball. Then, he opened his mouth and swallowed it in one mouthful! His mouth was filled with a fragrant fragrance and a sense of fullness. Fangzheng's mind was only filled with satisfaction!
Then, he drank a mouthful of clear soup and fused all the flavors of the food together. It instantly sublimated!
"Delicious!" Fangzheng finally cried out. Then, he stuffed the vegetable bun into his mouth in a few mouthfuls and finished it all.
When Monkey saw this, he followed suit and wrapped a vegetable bun to eat. Indeed, it felt great!
As for Squirrel, he turned anxious. He was small and not even the size of the lettuce leaves. How was he to wrap the vegetable bun? Was he supposed to wrap it for himself?
When Fangzheng saw this, he chuckled. He took a tiny piece of lettuce leaf and tore it into tiny pieces. He wrapped a few rice grains in and added some sauce. After pouring some of the stir-fried vegetable juice over it, he rolled it into a tiny vegetable bun and placed it in front of Squirrel. When Squirrel saw this, he clasped his front paws and waved them up and down. He exclaimed, "Thank you, Abbot. Haha! I also have a vegetable bun!"
As he spoke, Squirrel stuffed it into his mouth.
When Fangzheng saw this, he was instantly rendered speechless. He had nearly forgotten that although Squirrel was small in size, the size of his mouth was enough to instantly crush all the creatures in One Finger Monastery.
Lone Wolf kept trying his best to raise his head and look sideways at the food on the table. The angle was just right. He could see the heartless people on the table gorging themselves while he could only eat two mouthfuls of the lettuce leaves. He immediately protested.
Fangzheng chuckled and stuffed a huge rice bun into Lone Wolf's mouth. "Although the table is broken, you treated us to a sumptuous meal. Consider this your reward."
Lone Wolf opened his mouth wide and swallowed the vegetable bun in one mouthful. He then began eating in delight.
After the meal, Fangzheng led Lone Wolf down the mountain. He found Wang Yougui's house and begged for a hammer and a few nails. He returned and nailed the table back together. Only then did Lone Wolf free himself from the table's legs.
In the evening, a dark cloud floated over from the horizon. Fangzheng cupped his eyes and looked into the distance. He mumbled, "It's going to rain."
Lone Wolf, Monkey, and Squirrel also looked into the distance. Monkey said, "I hate rain the most. Once it rains, the ground is covered in leaves. It's so difficult to sweep …"
Lone Wolf added, "We can't go out to play when it's raining. It's boring."
Squirrel said, "It's quite nice when it rains. We can have a good night's sleep. Ah … Oh, I'm sleepy."
"Since you are sleepy, let's sleep." After Fangzheng said that, he returned to his meditation room.
Deep into the night, a strong gust of wind blew. The clouds in the sky swirled like a wet towel. They were lifted up by the hands of the wind as heavy rain poured down … Instantly, all the people and animals returned home to hide from the rain. Silence reigned.
Fangzheng lay in his meditation room and looked at the window behind him. From the window, he could see the Crystal Rice paddy. As the rain fell, Fangzheng lay quietly on the stove bed. At that moment …
"Pa!" A crisp sound came from the back of the room. It wasn't loud but after the heavy rain turned into a drizzle, the unique sound became especially clear.
Fangzheng's ears twitched as he looked at Lone Wolf. "Did you hear something?"
"Slap," said Lone Wolf.
Fangzheng nodded. "That shouldn't be a hallucination …"
Pa!
