With a loud bang, Fangzheng snapped to his senses. As for Jiang Ting, she was given a fright by Fangzheng's reaction. Why did the gentle and humble monk suddenly freeze in his spot? Why was he so violent after waking up?
Fangzheng also knew that he had frightened her. He took a deep breath and raised his palm. He bowed and said, "Female Patron, sorry. This Penniless Monk was distracted."
"What's wrong with Tingting? Did this monk bully you? "At that moment, Lu Xiaoya's voice sounded.
Only then did Fangzheng realize that Fatty, Monkey, Lu Xiaoya, and Ruan Ying had already entered the temple. Only Jiang Ting remained. Hearing the noise, Lu Xiaoya looked over.
Jiang Ting immediately said, "I'm fine."
"Oh, that's good. Come over. Although this temple is small, it's still very clean," Lu Xiaoya shouted.
Jiang Ting responded and was about to leave.
Although Fangzheng did not like Monkey and Fatty, the scenes from before were just too shocking and bloody! Even if these two people had bad mouths, they didn't deserve to die.
With this in mind, Fangzheng said, "Female Patron, can you listen to This Penniless Monk?"
"Sorry, I don't believe in Buddha," Jiang Ting said embarrassedly and ran away. Even a fool could tell that it wasn't that she didn't believe in Buddha, but that she didn't believe in Fangzheng! He really treated Fang Zhengzhi as a liar.
Fangzheng smiled bitterly and sighed. "Forget it. Karma is determined by the heavens. Everyone will die. I can't always reverse the future."
With that said, Fangzheng flicked his sleeves and went to the backyard.
However, the more Fangzheng tried to ignore it, the more the scene from before kept flashing in his mind. Be it chanting scriptures or taking a stroll, he was unable to expel the scene from his mind. Especially when he heard Monkey and Lu Xiaoya's conversation from time to time, it made him even more restless …
"Tingting, you said that the monk seemed to have gone mad. You woke him up and he slammed the metal door? Haha, doesn't this monk feel pain? From what I heard, it sounded like thunder. "Lu Xiaoya pursed her lips and smiled.
Jiang Ting rolled her eyes and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. Let's go and take a look at the metal door the monk made. With such a huge commotion, I'm very curious what that door is made of. "Lu Xiaoya chuckled as she pulled Jiang Ting towards the door.
In the main hall, Fatty, Monkey, and Ruan Ying were sizing up Guanyin Bodhisattva, Golden Boy, Jade Maiden, and the Skanda God statue at the entrance.
Fatty said, "Monkey, have you seen such a lifelike statue before? This Guanyin Bodhisattva is like a real person. Also, look at that jade maiden, she's so beautiful. "
"Fatty! This is a temple, don't talk nonsense! "Ruan Ying reprimanded.
The fatty scratched his head awkwardly and said, "I know, I know. Besides, I'm not insulting Buddha. I'm just telling the truth."
Monkey added, "Indeed. I've been to countless monasteries, but I've never seen such a lifelike Buddha statue. Also, look, these Buddha statues are spotless. "
Ruan Ying said, "That monk looks fair and clean. He probably has mysophobia."
Monkey nodded and said, "It's possible. However, to be able to keep the monastery so clean and to make it look like a big deal, it must have taken a lot of effort. Perhaps he isn't a fake monk … "
Fatty said, "Aiyah! I was wondering why I felt like something was missing. Do you see the Merit Box? "
"What Merit Box?" Ruan Ying asked.
Fatty said, "It's the kind of Merit Box that is placed at the entrance of a monastery or in front of an offering table."
Ruan Ying shook her head and said, "I don't see it."
Monkey added, "I don't see it either."
"Don't tell me this monastery doesn't accept incense money?" Fatty said.
Monkey said with a smile, "Then you are overthinking things. Isn't there a sign at the entrance? Ordinary incense is free, one high incense costs two hundred! That's not cheap. "
"Hehe, I thought this monk wouldn't touch money. It looks like he's a fake monk." Just as Fatty said that, he heard Lu Xiaoya exclaim from outside, "Fatty, Brother Monkey, come quickly!"
When Fatty and Monkey heard Lu Xiaoya's anxious cry, they exclaimed in unison, "Oh no!"
Monkey ran out. Fatty ran slowly, but he did not lower his voice. He roared, "Darn Bald Donkey, if you dare touch Xiaoya, I'll burn down your monastery!"
Fangzheng, who was fidgeting in the backyard, jumped in fright when he heard the sudden shout. He mumbled inwardly, "What the hell are these people up to?"
Hence, he went out to take a look.
Monkey, Fatty, and Ruan Ying ran out of the hall and saw Lu Xiaoya and Jiang Ting standing at the entrance. They were staring intently at the half-open metal door.
Seeing that the duo was fine, Monkey, Fatty, and Ruan Ying heaved a sigh of relief.
Monkey said, "What's wrong? You're scaring me to death with your actions. "
Fatty added, "That's right …"
"Don't say anything. Look for yourself. Look at the metal door! "Lu Xiaoya pointed at the metal door.
The trio looked in the direction Lu Xiaoya was pointing at. Monkey immediately drew a cold gasp! A clear palm print was imprinted on the red iron door! The palm print's patterns could be seen clearly!
"Xiaoya, why are you pointing at a premade palm print?" Fatty asked perplexed.
Lu Xiaoya said with a wry smile, "I also wish it was premade. Tingting, why don't you do it?"
Jiang Ting recounted what had happened and heard Fangzheng suddenly smack the metal door as though he was possessed, resulting in a palm print. Fatty and Ruan Ying were also given a fright. Ruan Ying said, "That's impossible, right? How can a living person have such strength? "
Fatty rolled his eyes and said, "What are you talking about? Even a dead person can't have such strength, alright? "
"Both of you, stop talking. I'm getting goosebumps," Lu Xiaoya trembled as she said in fear.
Fatty said, "I'm guessing that this was a palm print that existed long ago. It's just that no one noticed it."
"No." At that moment, Monkey, who had been silent all this while, spoke.
"Monkey, what do you mean no?" Fatty asked.
Monkey said, "When I entered, I carefully looked at the door. I even joked that the door was very thick. Although I'm not a professional at cracking down on fakes, all of you know how good my judgment is. I can see things very carefully. When I entered, there was absolutely no palm print on the metal door! I can guarantee that. Furthermore, I saw the palm print protruding from behind the metal door. It's not empty inside. It's solid metal … "
"Monkey, are you implying that the metal door was really smacked open by that monk?" Fatty was given a fright as well. Then, he subconsciously trembled and said carefully, "Then, that ruthless monk wouldn't have heard my shout just now, right?"
"Which one?" Ruan Ying asked.
Fatty said with a sobbing tone, "That's right. I'm talking about the one that burned down the temple." Fatty recalled the scene of the young monk flying into a rage and slapping him. He trembled all over and his ferocious look from before was gone.
Ruan Ying said with a wry smile, "I don't know if he heard it just now, but he definitely heard it now." With that said, she looked behind Fatty.
