Only then did Red Boy heave a sigh of relief as he obediently stood by the side.
Fangzheng said, "Jingfa, Jingkuan, Jingzhen, the three of you have done well. I'll reward you with a Myriad Word Pill today! After consuming this pill, you can communicate with anyone. In the future, it won't be so difficult for you to communicate. "
Upon hearing Fangzheng say that, the eyes of the three animals instantly lit up! Although they were fellow disciples, due to their different species, none of them could understand what they were saying. There were all sorts of obstacles. It would have been fine if they happened to bump into each other occasionally, but they saw each other daily and had no other species to communicate with. Therefore, it was very important for them to communicate with each other. The feeling of being able to communicate but not being able to understand made them feel awkward.
Now that they finally had a solution, all of them were naturally beaming with joy.
When Red Boy saw this, he curled his lips and thought to himself, "A bunch of ignorant bumpkins. It's just a Myriad Word Pill. What's there to be happy about?"
Red Boy had seen all sorts of natural treasures after all, so he really thought nothing of such things. However, Lone Wolf, Squirrel, and Monkey were different. The three of them were native animals on Earth. They had some spirituality in the past, but they did not gain sentience. Later on, they entered One Finger Monastery and gained sentience, but they were unable to speak. Only they knew the bitterness in their hearts. Now that they had a pill that could allow them to speak, they naturally cherished it.
Fangzheng distributed the pills. Each of the three animals took one as they eagerly popped it into their mouths.
"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Squirrel was the most anxious as he was the first to shout.
However, when he shouted, Lone Wolf, Monkey, and Red Boy looked like meditating old monks. No one said a word, nor did anyone look at him.
Squirrel scratched his head and mumbled. "Has the medicine not taken effect yet? Then, I'll wait a little longer. "
Lone Wolf, Monkey, Red Boy, and Fangzheng exchanged looks and held back their laughter as they continued feigning ignorance.
After a while, Squirrel asked again, "Can you understand what I'm saying?"
Then, there were puzzled looks before they shook their heads.
Squirrel's tiny face scrunched up as he looked bitterly at Fangzheng. "Master, they don't understand what I'm saying. Has my medicine expired?"
Fangzheng held back his laughter and patted Squirrel on the head in all seriousness. "I understand."
Squirrel pointed at Lone Wolf and Monkey and said, "But they don't understand. Boohoo … My medicine has expired. Wah … Master, I want one more."
The little thing began to throw a tantrum, rolling on the ground and begging for all kinds of things.
Fangzheng could not help but laugh. He patted Squirrel on the head and said, "Humans shouldn't be greedy. Perhaps your medicinal essence hasn't melted yet. Let's wait for a while … Hmm, the food is almost ready. I'll go get something to eat. "
With that said, Fangzheng got up and walked to the backyard. At the same time, he said, "Jingxin, you have protected the mountain and made the rain fall. You have done a great job, but you are a demon king to begin with. You do not lack any treasures, so I won't reward you with anything practical. How about this, I'll take you out for a walk next time, how about it? "
Red Boy didn't care about the rewards. As long as there were rewards, it was fine as long as he didn't fall behind! So he happily accepted and said, "Yes, Master!" As he spoke, Red Boy had already followed.
After Red Boy left, Squirrel lay on the ground and continued asking, "Senior Brother, Junior Brother, do you really not understand what I'm saying?"
Lone Wolf and monkey looked at each other and continued pretending not to understand.
Squirrel rolled his eyes and mumbled, "Silly monkey, silly dog. You don't understand a thing … Uh, Senior Brother, Junior Brother, what's with that look?" Squirrel realized that something was amiss. Why did the two of them look so fierce?
The next moment, Fangzheng heard Squirrel's tragic cries outside. As he screamed, he shouted, "Master, save me! Kill Squirrel! Aiyah, Senior Brother, you are going too far! "
"How dare you scold us? Senior Brother, this is punishment, "said Lone Wolf with a nefarious smile.
"Uh, you can understand?" Squirrel was taken aback.
"Of course," said Monkey with a smile.
"You are scamming me! Boohoo … Junior Brother, don't go too far! "Squirrel screamed.
…
Fangzheng knew that Squirrel was the most pampered among the animals. Everyone doted on him, so they naturally wouldn't beat him. However, from the little guy's tragic cries, it was likely quite tragic.
Fangzheng ignored it. He was truly craving for food. He opened a pot and scooped some rice. Then, he got some bamboo shoots and put some sauce on it. He sat by the door and began eating.
Before long, Lone Wolf and Monkey entered.
"Eh? Where's Senior Brother Jingkuan? "Red Boy asked out of curiosity when he saw them.
Monkey said, "He's not coming in."
"Why?" Fangzheng was puzzled as well.
Lone Wolf said, "There's nothing we can do if he doesn't come in."
"Jingkuan, what are you doing outside? Quick, come in. "Fangzheng shouted when he saw Squirrel's tiny tail flash by the door.
"I'm not going in! I won't go in even if I die! "Squirrel yelled.
Fangzheng was puzzled. He got up and walked out with Red Boy. When he looked, he saw a swarthy fellow squatting by the door. On careful look, wasn't it Squirrel?
He saw Squirrel looking up pitifully. His entire body was black, as though it was covered in ink. There were a few leaves and grass rings hanging from his tail, and there was a wolf paw print on his chest … This image was simply …
Fangzheng could not help but sigh. "This rat looks rather unique."
"It's not a rat. It's a squirrel! Squirrel! Squirrel! Wah! Everyone is bullying me! "Squirrel could not hold it in any longer as he wailed.
For a moment, everyone present laughed. This little thing was too amusing …
After the meal, Fangzheng gave Squirrel a bath. Unrooted Clean Aqua was quite effective in this area. After a basin of water, all the ink was gone. Under the sun, a furry and adorable squirrel appeared fresh out of the oven.
After having his fill, Fangzheng was in no hurry to leave. Instead, he quietly ate and recited Buddhist scriptures on the mountain.
That night, Red Boy was browsing the web on his cell phone. Just as he was having fun, a message popped up.
"Master, our spring outing plans have gone up in smoke. The school doesn't allow so many of us to go out in groups. They say it's for personal safety. 55555 …" The person who spoke was Zhao Datong.
Red Boy immediately yelled at the top of his lungs, "Master, someone named Zhao Datong said that his school doesn't allow us to go out in groups. He can't come. What do you say?"
Fangzheng thought for a moment and said, "Let's leave it to fate. We will meet if we are fated. There's no need to force it. Tell him not to take it to heart."
Red Boy sent the exact words.
Fangzheng did not mind if Zhao Datong brought people over. Now that the monastery's incense offerings were increasing by the day, he did not particularly yearn for more people to come. It would only be troublesome if more people came. Things were pretty good now. He could live a carefree life every day.
Zhao Datong heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Fangzheng did not have any intention of reprimanding him. Then, he looked around and saw that no one was looking at him. He sent Fangzheng a question, "Master, I like a girl and wish to woo her. Is there anything you can give me?"
