Before Red Boy could rejoice, he heard Fangzheng say lightly, "However, lying is a serious crime! Jingxin, fetch more water in the future! "
"Uh …" Red Boy was dumbfounded. If he knew this would happen, he wouldn't have lied. He could have just confessed himself … Sob!
When Squirrel heard that, he knew something was amiss and wanted to hide.
However, Fangzheng grabbed his tiny tail and lifted him up.
Squirrel grinned at Fangzheng with a pleading look.
"Jingkuan, it's a good thing that you are helping your junior brother," said Fangzheng.
Squirrel immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Fangzheng immediately added, "However, you helped him because you accepted a bribe. That's a grave mistake!"
With that said, Fangzheng took out a bowl and said, "Follow your junior brother down the mountain to fetch water. You will finish when he finishes."
Squirrel looked at the bowl that was almost as big as him. His eyes rolled back and he nearly fainted.
Fangzheng did not mind. He had already seen clearly that Unrooted Clean Aqua and Crystal Rice could improve a creature's physique. Lone Wolf's speed and strength had long exceeded the limits of a wolf. Although Squirrel usually acted young, the fellow could only bring back five to six pine nuts in the past. Recently, Fangzheng realized that he could carry a cloth bag back and even climb up a tree. Clearly, his strength was not weak either. Fangzheng was only worried if the bowl of water was heavy enough.
After the punishment was over, Fangzheng said, "Alright, don't just stand there. Hurry up and cook."
Over the past two days, he had either starved or eaten ordinary rice and vegetables. Fangzheng felt like he was about to lose his appetite. There was no harm without comparison. Although the Crystal Rice on the mountain was nothing much after eating it for a long period of time, it was still delicious when compared! Although a monk should abstain from such greed, Fangzheng had never thought of himself as a perfect monk. His ultimate goal had never changed because of the System's descent. He had to work hard to earn merit and help others to the best of his abilities before renouncing asceticism!
Fangzheng waited by the side for his meal, but Lone Wolf had been pulled into the kitchen by Monkey and Squirrel.
"Senior Brother, how do you feel about the outside world after your trip down the mountain?" asked Squirrel out of curiosity.
Red Boy also understood why these guys came in. It was nothing more than to find a translator. Red Boy originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but on second thought, if he didn't get involved, he would probably be sold even more miserably in the future. It was still very important to have a harmonious relationship between fellow disciples, so he became a translator.
Lone Wolf thought about how it felt to starve back then. He shook his head bitterly and said, "Not much, it was terrible. If not for me being smart and quick-witted, Master and I would have starved to death outside."
"That terrible?" Monkey and Squirrel exclaimed.
Lone Wolf sat there with a worried expression on his face. He said, "It will only be worse. However, the outside world is indeed very mysterious. If there is a chance, you can go out and take a look."
Monkey and Squirrel asked a few more questions, but Red Boy was unable to translate them. He decided to chase the trio out.
The three little fellows had asked what they wanted to ask, so they naturally had no complaints.
And at that moment, Fangzheng was sitting under the bodhi tree. He asked the System, "System, can I draw this time?"
"Help Wang Kun understand himself and no longer be lost. Merit + 1. Transmit the power of kindness and use the strength of everyone to help Lu Zheng walk out of his mental obstacles and gain a new life. Merit + 22. It is indeed great merit. There's no problem with the draw, but are you sure you want to begin now? "asked the System.
Fangzheng thought for a moment before saying, "I've saved up previously. Can I continue saving up? I'll draw this once."
"Sure," said the System generously.
Fangzheng was relieved as he immediately said, "Then let's do it."
Having not drawn in a long time, Fangzheng was itching to do it.
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining a bottle of Myriad Word Pill, "said the System.
"Myriad Word Pill?" Fangzheng was taken aback. What was that?
The System said, "As the name suggests, the Myriad Word Pill allows one to gain the ability to speak ten thousand words after eating it. To put it bluntly, after eating this pill, anyone or any creature will be able to have abilities similar to your Beast Speech Spell. "
"Uh … Doesn't that mean it's useless to me?" Fangzheng was rendered speechless. He originally thought that he could draw something good. But he ended up drawing something like this. Was he to say that the Myriad Word Pill was bad? That was impossible. A Myriad Word Pill was equivalent to a Beast Speech Spell divine power. It was definitely something good. But it was basically useless to Fangzheng!
At that moment, Fangzheng heard Lone Wolf's yawn. Fangzheng's eyes lit up. He might not be able to use it, but his disciples could! This way, the three of them would be able to communicate in the future. That was a good thing.
Since he was already here, he might as well take things as they came. Since he had obtained the item and could not exchange it, he might as well make use of it to the best of his ability.
Fangzheng chose to accept it. The next moment, a porcelain bottle appeared in his hand. When he opened it, Fangzheng's eyes lit up! There was more than one Myriad Word Pill inside. There were a total of five!
"Haha! I knew it. With so much merit this time, I should at least give a big one! Five Myriad Word Pills. I'm making a killing! " Fangzheng grinned as he mumbled. Although he did not know who he would give the extra pills to, what if they were of use in the future?
"Jingfa, Jingzhen, Jingkuan, come over." Fangzheng shouted. Lone Wolf, Squirrel, and Monkey immediately ran over.
Squirrel exclaimed, "Master, why are you looking for us?"
Fangzheng thought for a moment and did not immediately take out the pills. Instead, he said, "All of you have been in One Finger Monastery for quite some time now. As the number one guardian protector of this monastery, Jingfa carried water day and night and was also in charge of security. He was meritorious. Although Jingkuan is small in size, when I wasn't around, he was meritorious in supervising the monastery. Although Jingzhen came late, he cleaned the courtyard, received visitors, and cleaned the temple hall every day. He was meritorious to the monastery. Today, I will reward you based on your meritorious deeds! "
Upon hearing that they would be rewarded based on meritorious deeds, the three immediately turned spirited.
Lone Wolf asked out of curiosity, "Master, what good things are you rewarding us with?"
Monkey's eyelids twitched. He did not do much, but his breathing clearly hastened.
Squirrel's eyes sparkled. He was filled with curiosity and anticipation!
At that moment, Red Boy rushed over and exclaimed, "Master, you can't be biased. I've done meritorious deeds too!"
Red Boy did not care what Fangzheng gave him. He was a great demon king, and his family was rich enough. He did not think much of what Fangzheng had. However, the reward was necessary. It was not only a reward, but also a form of honor! Otherwise, when the time came, all his senior brothers would be rewarded, and only he wouldn't. How embarrassing would that be!
