When Guan Ping looked at Fangzheng again, she jumped in fright! The Fangzheng in front of her was gone. Replacing him was a white-dressed woman with a solemn expression that exuded benevolence. The woman was sitting on a lotus platform as a Buddhist wheel lit up behind her! Guan Ping subconsciously cried out, "Guan Yin Bodhisattva!?"
The person in front of her was naturally not Guan Yin Bodhisattva, but Fangzheng's transformation. Fangzheng smiled. He did not nod or shake his head. Instead, he said with a chuckle, "This Penniless Monk has a pill named Object Forgetting Pill. Once you eat it, you will lose all interest in money and fame. Then, the temptation of money you mentioned will naturally dissipate and leave you. But you have to understand that if you were to reject that temptation, everything you have will return to the past. It's up to you to decide what path to take. "
Guan Ping was taken aback. She never expected Guan Yin Bodhisattva to give her such a pill. She secretly pinched her thigh. It hurt. It wasn't a dream! Since it wasn't a dream, everything was real. Bodhisattva was real, and so was the pill!
With this in mind, Guan Ping's heart raced. Her heart raced as her eyes landed on the Object Forgetting Pill. Her eyes flickered, clearly having an intense internal struggle.
Time ticked by. Fangzheng had no intention of rushing her. All he did was wait silently.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, an hour …
And deep in Guan Ping's heart, she kept pondering over a question. If she were to return to the past, would she still be able to return?
She would no longer have a villa, no sports car, no branded bags … She would have nothing left. She would have to return to Shengjing's basement and carry that imitation bag. Afraid of being recognized as a fake, she would have to use cosmetics that would harm her skin and wear imitation clothes … Just thinking of this made Guan Ping shudder.
But what if she did not eat the pill? She would still obtain everything she had now, but she would have to pay the price with her reputation. The infamy of being a gold-digger would forever hang on her. If Fangzheng were to dump her, she would never be able to clear her reputation even if she received some money. But was reputation really important? Was her goal in coming here really to return to the past?
The answer was definite! She didn't want to go back. She came here and said all this just to … find someone she didn't know, someone who wouldn't spread the news about her. She just wanted to talk to them and seek their approval! As long as one person approved of her, she could completely let go and pursue everything she wanted regardless of everything else! However, she never expected that after countless selections, she would finally choose Bodhisattva. She really wanted to cry but had no tears. She did not want Bodhisattva to think that she was a gold digger or a bad woman …
Fangzheng looked at Guan Ping and sighed inwardly. He shook his head slightly and put away the pills. "The mortal world is like hell. Temptation is always present, but one's heart is not. You should think about where you should go."
After Fangzheng said that, he dispelled his divine powers. Guan Ping saw her vision blur as the Bodhisattva vanished. The person in front of her was still the fair-skinned young monk. He had a radiant smile that resembled sunlight. He looked calm and peaceful. The sunlight shone through the bodhi tree's leaves like dancing butterflies landing on his body, making him appear especially holy.
"Patron, do you have any questions?" asked Fangzheng.
"Uh, Venerable One, you … just now?" Guan Ping was unsure if Fangzheng knew about Guan Yin Bodhisattva's manifestation so she probed.
Fangzheng gave a look of innocence and adorableness as he asked, "What's wrong? Patron, what were we talking about? "
Guan Ping shook her head and said, "Nothing, nothing. Well, Venerable Fangzheng, I still have matters to attend to. I'll be leaving first."
With that said, Guan Ping got up and left One Finger Monastery pathetically. She quickly walked down the mountain.
Fangzheng looked at Guan Ping's back and shook his head slightly. If it were the past him, he would definitely have guided Guan Ping to return to the past. But now, Fangzheng would not do so. Everyone had to pay the price for their choices. All Fangzheng could do was give her a chance to make a serious choice.
Guan Ping left One Finger Monastery and sat in the car in a daze. Now, she understood why Dong Yueru had asked her to seek Fangzheng. Be it Dong Yueru or the other psychiatrists, all of them could tell what was on her mind. She had long made up her mind. Seeking the psychiatrists was just a way to comfort herself or to give her a reason.
At the foot of the mountain, a Rolls-Royce was parked there. Guan Ping stared intently at the Rolls-Royce and thought about everything that had happened to her. Finally, she sighed and got into the Rolls-Royce. The instant she sat in it, she smiled. She smiled because she had finally made a choice. At the same time, a tear streamed down the corner of her eye. Perhaps she was bidding farewell to her past self.
The car drove off. On the mountain, Fangzheng stood by the cliff and saw this scene. He shook his head slightly and said, "The secular world is like purgatory. Purgatory cultivates the human heart. Some people can see hope in purgatory, while others will completely sink into it. Where is purgatory? Purgatory is in the heart. If the heart enters purgatory, the body enters purgatory. Amitabha … "
After Guan Ping left, she never returned to One Finger Monastery. But a few months later, Fangzheng saw news regarding her on the news.
"Former female Guan Ping was subjected to domestic violence, but she still smiled at the camera and said," I fell. ""
Half a year later, Fangzheng received a WeChat message from Guan Ping. "Venerable One, although I missed a chance to return to the past, I don't regret it. I'm me. I'd rather cry in a mansion than laugh in a basement. I don't regret it, really …"
The next day, Guan Ping appeared on the news once again. Guan Ping had jumped off a building …
"She did not repent even at the moment of her death. Who can save her?"
Due to Guan Ping's matter, Fangzheng felt extremely upset. As he watched the luxurious car drive off, Fangzheng returned to the monastery. He sat in the temple hall and silently chanted the scriptures.
Just as Fangzheng was striking the wooden fish and chanting the scriptures …
"Ding! System mission issued. Guan Yin Bodhisattva has recently taken in a boy. The boy's wild nature is hard to tame. Guan Yin Bodhisattva has specially sent him to One Finger Monastery and handed him over to One Finger Monastery's abbot, Fangzheng, to discipline. If he can rid himself of his wild nature and killing intent, he can return to the South Sea. If not, he will forever remain in the mortal world. Mission completed. Random reward: 1 item. Merit points: 10,000 points. "
When Fangzheng heard the terrifying reward of 10,000 merit points, it was simply amazing! However, he immediately exclaimed, "Can I reject it? System, don't joke with me. You are throwing a fellow that even Bodhisattva can't handle to This Penniless Monk? Are you sure This Penniless Monk won't have his bones crushed and thrown into a pot to be stewed? "
The System said, "Don't worry. He's just an ordinary child. Yes … He's definitely an ordinary child. "
