"Venerable Fangzheng, thank you." Qi Liya, who looked a lot better, stood in front of Fangzheng with a bashful smile. However, she seemed to be in good spirits.
Fangzheng pressed his palms together and smiled, "Amitabha."
"I still remember what happened that day," said Qi Liya.
Fangzheng continued smiling.
Qi Liya continued, "But I didn't say it to anyone."
Fangzheng continued smiling as he turned his body to the side, "Patron, if you have anything to say, you can say it to Bodhisattva. Patron, you are kind. Bodhisattva will protect you."
"Okay." Qi Liya nodded and entered the temple hall. She knelt there and prayed silently.
Qi Liya left behind a hundred yuan as incense money. The two only looked at each other without saying anything else. Fangzheng was not good with words, and neither was Qi Liya. However, there were some things that everyone knew without saying. From that day forth, Fangzheng's meals began to improve. This was because Qi Liya would come once a week to deliver some home-grown vegetables.
Fangzheng accepted it with a smile. He was not a person who stood on ceremony.
After Qi Liya's matter, Fangzheng realized that the class chat group was completely dead. No one spoke at all. With regards to this, Fangzheng could only shake his head slightly. Once bitten, twice shy. The harm of MLM was not something that could be eliminated just by eliminating it. Its influence was even more terrifying! It would create a trust crisis between people, widen the distance between people, and make society colder.
With regards to this, Fangzheng had completely let go of the matter of turning the few people into trees. Some people needed to atone for their sins!
Over the past few days, Fangzheng had been watching the news. Due to Liu Dacheng's various revelations, as well as the information found in the phones and offices of the two Leaders, the dark side of MLM had been completely exposed. After it was exposed by the media, it caused a stir in society. Over the past week, the entire country had been cracking down on MLM. They had launched a thorough crackdown, and everywhere they passed, MLM was dealt with. Upon seeing this, Fangzheng felt a lot more at ease. However, he was puzzled. Why was the System not saying a word?
One day, Fangzheng finally could not help but ask, "System, have you forgotten something?"
"Don't bother me. I'm calculating," said the System impatiently.
Fangzheng asked in surprise, "Statistics about what?"
"What you've done this time is huge, and it has a huge impact. Although not all the merit points can be attributed to you, every person who is saved will more or less contribute some merit points to you. These merit points will increase at any time … I'm calculating this. Of course, if you think there's no need to calculate it, I can chat with you for five dollars, "the system said.
"It's best you continue counting. By the way, how much merit do I have now?" asked Fangzheng.
"Over four thousand! You've struck it big this time! "said the system.
Fangzheng was instantly overjoyed. If he remembered correctly, he only had about two thousand merit points previously! This mission had earned him so many merit points! It was simply … wonderful! Fangzheng happily walked to the backyard. "Jingxin!"
"What?" Red Boy asked impatiently.
"Let's go pick mushrooms! Let's have an additional meal tonight! "
"Alright!" Upon hearing about food, Red Boy immediately turned spirited as he cried out in excitement. Then, he beckoned for Monkey, Squirrel, and Lone Wolf to rush out in excitement.
Time passed quickly as Yang Hua waited day and night. Finally, Du Mei gave birth! With a baby's cry in the delivery room, Yang Hua jumped up high. When the nurse carried the child out, Yang Hua laughed like a fool. Finally, he was warned by the nurse. "Do not make a racket!"
The moment he returned, Yang Hua immediately ran to the mountaintop and held onto Fangzheng's hand without letting go.
"Patron Yang, we can talk things out. Can we not hold hands?" Fangzheng looked bitterly at Yang Hua, feeling odd.
Yang Hua thought nothing of it as he smiled. "Fangzheng, I'm a father now."
"This Penniless Monk knows. You have already said it ten times," said Fangzheng bitterly. He did not even have a girlfriend, but he was being flaunted in front of him by a father! He wanted to beat someone up!
"No, that's not what I wanted to say. I wanted to say … I have a son," said Yang Hua.
Fangzheng looked up into the sky speechlessly. What difference did it make?
"Aiyah, I got it wrong again. Here's the thing. I have a son. I want to celebrate it. Can you tell the date? "Yang Hua also knew that he had been too excited. He had held onto Fangzheng for more than ten minutes, but all he had done was repeat that sentence. But for some reason, saying that sentence felt great! Aww! Awesome! However, why wasn't Fangzheng happy?
However, Yang Hua could not be bothered. All he cared about was that he felt good.
A distance away, Lone Wolf was slumped by the door. He stuck his head out and looked at Fangzheng and Yang Hua. He sighed. "This idiot doesn't know the sorrow of being a single dog."
Red Boy squatted beside Lone Wolf and felt the same way. "He's even a single dog that yearns to renounce asceticism but has yet to do so. Buddha was right. Not being able to sever one's mortal coil is all suffering! You can't eat it even if you want it, and others even flaunt it in front of you … How bitter! "
…
"Patron Yang, This Penniless Monk is not a fortune-teller. This … This Penniless Monk does not know, nor can he tell." Fangzheng really did not know.
Yang Hua said, "I don't care. The other fortune-tellers are all scams. Since they are all scams, why don't you scam me? "
Fangzheng: "… 3 $…"
Finally, under Yang Hua's persistent pestering, Fangzheng took out his cell phone and looked at it. Then, he chose a date. Three days later!
"Three days later? Is there anything particular or special? "asked Yang Hua out of curiosity.
Fangzheng looked up into the sky. "There's nothing particular. The weather forecast says that it will be sunny in three days."
Yang Hua was instantly rendered speechless. This … was really fooling around!
When Fangzheng saw this, he added. "This Penniless Monk does not know geomancy, but Zen Master One Finger once said that the most direct change in geomancy is a person's mood. Choosing a sunny day with the sun high up in the sky is definitely more comfortable than a gloomy and rainy day. Furthermore, it's more convenient to do anything. Therefore, a sunny day is definitely better than a gloomy day. "
Although this explanation was no different from not explaining anything, Yang Hua still went down the mountain in high spirits.
Fangzheng, Monkey, Lone Wolf, Squirrel, and Red Boy stood on the mountain as they watched Yang Hua's excited back. They collectively shook their heads.
Fangzheng said, "Amitabha."
"This is the first time I'm seeing someone take the initiative to ask for a scam," said Lone Wolf.
"This is the first time I'm seeing someone so happy despite knowing that they have been scammed," said Red Boy.
Monkey pressed his palms together. "Amitabha."
Squirrel said, "Aren't you going to give me something to eat if you're so happy?"
…
The next day, Fangzheng woke up early. Ever since he went down the mountain, the striking of the bell had been replaced by Monkey. No one struck the bell after Fangzheng went down the mountain. Red Boy felt that striking the bell would make him read the scriptures. He felt uncomfortable and refused to strike it. Every time Lone Wolf struck the bell, he would jump up and use his head to strike the bell. He felt like he was about to die after striking the bell twice.
