However …
Lone Wolf did not have hands, and his claws were useless. Everyone found his mouth dirty, so he was usually the one holding the basket. Now that he no longer needed to hold the basket, he had nothing to do. All he could do was wander around and find mushrooms before getting Monkey or Red Boy to pick them. Of course, Squirrel could help if they encountered small ones, but if they encountered large ones …
As a result …
"Master, it's strange. There are so many mushrooms behind us that don't grow in the ground. Each one is prettier than the other. "Lone Wolf suddenly popped his head out and came over.
Fangzheng blushed. He could not say that he was the one who threw them, right? But if he picked them up, who would eat them? He did not wish to waste the power of another prayer bead!
At that moment, Red Boy shouted, "Senior Brother Jingfa, those mushrooms aren't delicious. I don't like them anyway. I might get allergic if I eat too much of them. Master knows this, so I can only throw them away. "
Upon hearing that, Squirrel immediately ran over and tugged at Fangzheng's trousers. He climbed into the basket and plunged into the mushroom pile. After a long while, his tiny head popped out of the mushroom pile and wailed. "I can't throw away my super huge mushrooms either! Master, if you aren't eating them, I'll eat them, alright? "
Monkey ran over as well. When he saw that the few mushrooms he had picked were gone, he added, "My beautiful mushrooms are gone too. Master, if you aren't eating my mushrooms, leave them for me."
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng truly regretted continuing picking mushrooms. Wasn't he just creating trouble for himself!? At the same time, he cursed Red Boy for being a useless teammate. Lone Wolf, Squirrel, and Monkey didn't understand each other. Even if Lone Wolf realized what he was saying, Squirrel and Monkey would not be able to understand him. He could easily fool them …
However, Red Boy had to make a ruckus. Squirrel and Monkey could understand what he said! Wasn't this just asking for trouble? Since the matter was caused by Red Boy, Fangzheng directly shirked his responsibilities. He put down the basket and said, "Jingxin, I'll leave the matters here to you. Pick whatever you want to eat. I suddenly recalled that I still have things to do. I'll be leaving first. "
With that said, Fangzheng strode away with his 1.2-meter-long legs and quickly left.
The naive Monkey and Squirrel immediately turned their attention to Red Boy. Red Boy was dumbfounded. Just moments ago, he was still feeling grateful to Fangzheng, but in a blink of an eye, he had been betrayed? This cheap master of his, wasn't he too good at selling out his teammates?
At night, Fangzheng and Red Boy sighed as they looked at the basket of colorful mushrooms.
Squirrel and Monkey were afraid that their mushrooms would be thrown away again, so they stayed in the kitchen and refused to leave!
Helpless, Fangzheng had no choice but to boil two pots of mushroom soup. One pot of ordinary mushrooms and the other pot of plain water. However, he had used A Golden Millet Dream to make Squirrel and Monkey hallucinate, believing that their mushrooms had been stewed. In the end, when he ate it, there was no taste at all. He said that the mushroom looked good, but it tasted terrible. He would never eat it again.
Lone Wolf did not care about them. He drank the soup in his bowl until his head was almost stuck in the bowl. He was drinking very happily.
When Squirrel and Monkey saw this, they immediately tried a mouthful of the real mushroom soup. Then, they could not stop themselves as they gulped down the soup. Unfortunately, Squirrel was only that big. He could only drink two spoonfuls of soup with all his might. Then, he lay on the table and held his tummy, motionless … He mumbled. "It's so delicious …"
When Fangzheng and Red Boy saw this, they exchanged looks and smiled. They did not say a word and secretly laughed.
Days passed one after another, and soon, May was over.
One day, Lone Wolf suddenly ran over and sat in front of Fangzheng. He stared intently at Fangzheng, motionless.
Fangzheng was puzzled. "Jingfa, what are you doing?"
"Master, it's been a while since you left the mountain," said Lone Wolf.
Fangzheng was taken aback before he understood what Lone Wolf meant. According to Mt. One Finger's rules, Fangzheng had to bring one person with him every time he left the mountain. Furthermore, they had to take turns. In the past few days, Fangzheng had been running around. It had rained in Daili Village, and he had to deal with the poachers. Fangzheng was a little tired, so he planned on resting quietly on the mountain for a period of time.
But after experiencing so much, he had gained new insights from reading the Diamond Sutra while sitting in the temple hall. This took him a few days, and he nearly forgot about it.
It was obvious that Lone Wolf had come because he wanted to leave the mountain.
It would have been fine if Lone Wolf had not mentioned it, but the moment he did, Fangzheng began to have thoughts. He felt that it was time for him to leave the mountain. The more he experienced, the more insights he could gain. He would gain more merit, and he would become Buddha and renounce asceticism as soon as possible! Furthermore, he had mostly gained insights from the last time. It was time to recharge his batteries.
With this in mind, Fangzheng smiled. "It's indeed time to leave the mountain. Jingfa, how about you leave the mountain with me?"
Lone Wolf had only come to grumble. He did not expect Fangzheng to agree to his request to leave the mountain. In the end, I didn't expect that it would actually succeed. I was stunned for a moment before I hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, okay … Master, whatever you say is fine!"
"In that case, stay on the mountain. Let Jingzhen leave with me," said Fangzheng with a smile.
Lone Wolf hurriedly cried out when he heard that. "Master, you can't do that! Boohoo!"
Fangzheng immediately laughed when he saw this. He rapped Lone Wolf on the head and said, "Alright, stop faking your tears. The thunder was so loud, but I didn't see you shed a single tear. Let's go. Let's go out for a walk. "
Lone Wolf hurriedly followed Fangzheng. On the way out, he shouted to everyone he saw, "Junior Brother, I'm going out with Master."
All he got in return was rolling his eyes.
Once again, he stepped through the Formless Door. Since he was already sufficiently prepared, he focused on waiting for the changes in his surroundings. He did not plan on missing a single sound or image.
At that moment, he heard a sound around him. Bam! Bam!
Bam! It was as though something had fallen to the ground, producing a dull thud. At the same time, a shattered scene appeared in front of him. It was a wheel, and there was a loud bang and tragic cry.
"No way. It's even worse this time. There's not even any dialogue?" Fangzheng wailed inwardly, but he was helpless. The darkness in front of him receded, and he realized that he had appeared at the entrance of a small estate.
Just like in the past, his sudden appearance did not garner anyone's attention. This was an ordinary estate. The exterior walls of the houses were a little old, looking like they had been built more than ten years ago. Back then, tall buildings weren't popular. They were all seven-story buildings. There were no guards at the entrance of the estate. There was only an ordinary door, allowing anyone to enter and exit freely.
