Fangzheng knew that the few of them were curious and had many questions. He decided to explain everything in one go so as to prevent them from pressing him.
After answering, Fangzheng noticed that it was no longer early. He hurriedly said, "Alright, today's lesson is over. Quickly strike the bell. There's not much time left … "
Monkey received the order and immediately ran to strike the bell.
However, the ringing of the bell today was different from the past, because there was an additional drum on the mountain! Today, the bells and drums sounded together! Naturally, he couldn't just randomly knock on it.
On the other side, Fangzheng ascended the drum tower and faced Monkey from afar. The man and monkey pressed their palms together and bowed. Following that, Monkey touched the bell hammer while Fangzheng picked up the drumsticks. Following that, the two of them moved simultaneously!
Striking the bell was about slowness, but striking the drum was about speed!
Fangzheng raised the drumsticks and slammed them down!
Dong!
At the instant the drumsticks landed, Fangzheng seemed to see infinite lightning explode in front of him. His mind went blank with a boom! At the same time, wisps of black gas emanated. The scene in front of Fangzheng seemed to shatter as he saw scenes! Among them, the clearest was when he was still in his swaddling clothes. He was thrown down the mountain, and the two of them floated away!
Upon seeing her back, Fangzheng's heart winced. The pain of being abandoned erupted like a flash flood! Ouch! The pain penetrated his heart! Why did he have to do this to him?
Although Fangzheng had Zen Master One Finger's concern and the villagers' protection, which child didn't yearn for the company of their parents? Who could replace this kind of love?
Deep in Fangzheng's heart, he had always yearned for his parents' love, but he was unable to obtain it …
All these years, Fangzheng had always been asking why his parents didn't want him. What exactly happened? Did they despise him? Or were they in danger? Unfortunately, no matter how much he asked, there was no answer.
However, today, he suddenly saw an image. Although it was blurry, he was sure that this image was real! Indeed, a man and a woman put him down. Because of the One-Legged Bull War Drum, his childhood memories had been dug out and presented to him!
Nothing had happened. He had been abandoned! He was abandoned by his own parents!
At this moment, more than ten years of yearning, more than ten years of longing, more than ten years of yearning, more than ten years of dreams that he had painted for himself for more than ten years were instantly shattered! A surge of anger rushed out!
"Ah!" Fangzheng roared angrily as he struck the drum again!
It was still the scene of him being abandoned, but it was a little clearer. He could vaguely hear someone saying, "Don't …"
"No!" Fangzheng roared as tears welled up in his eyes. He wanted to shout and scream. He wanted the duo to turn around and take him away! He did not want to be left behind, he did not want to be abandoned! He wanted to go home! He wanted to have parents!
Endless grievance and pain spewed out as Fangzheng cried his eyes out!
The third strike fell like a torrential storm!
The sound of this Kui Bull War Drum was different from the other drums. The other drums were majestic and filled with righteousness, but this drum's sound was like exploding thunder, the roars of fierce beasts, and the screams of resentful spirits! The sound was ear-piercing and unpleasant, as if it wanted to tear people apart!
When it landed in Fangzheng's ears, it felt like a pair of hands filled with demonic charms had drilled into his heart, digging out all the pain hidden deep in his heart and torturing him!
The second scene appeared. It was the scene of Zen Master One Finger leaving!
"Fang …" However, Fangzheng could not hear Zen Master One Finger's words clearly. His vision was blurry, so he could not see or hear clearly. However, the pain of losing a loved one was excruciating!
He had no parents, only the old monk who was like a father or mother as a companion. Now, he had left as well. Instantly, he could not find a home that belonged to him in the vast world. The world was huge, but he did not have a single family. He was alone, and the loneliness of being alone surged into his heart. The pain!
As the fourth and fifth strike landed, the drum's sound turned more violent and crazy!
However, the violent drum's sound turned a lot calmer after it left the drum tower. However, it was still a little restless and violent! It made Monkey, Squirrel, Lone Wolf, and Red Boy feel restless. They felt like their hearts were being scratched by a cat, but they had nowhere to stop the itch. They were restless and wished to do something to vent their frustrations.
Red Boy was ultimately a demon king, so he immediately sensed that something was amiss. He immediately shouted, "Senior Brother Jingzhen, why are you in a daze? Aren't you going to strike the bell? "
Only then did Monkey jolt to his senses. Gritting his teeth, he pushed the hammer and slammed it down with all his might!
Gong!
A melodious, simple, and majestic gong sounded!
At that instant, Red Boy felt as though he could hear Sanskrit chanting in the monastery! The bodhi tree, which had always been used as a landscaping tree in the monastery, began to rustle despite the lack of wind. As the leaves fluttered, Buddhistic light and wish forces flew out!
"Nice, all the wish forces in the monastery have been absorbed by it! It's no wonder I didn't sense much wish forces condensing in the monastery. I thought it had been absorbed by the Buddha statue. After all that, it was the one who took advantage of the situation! "Red Boy exclaimed.
The wish forces and Buddhistic aura flew out with the gong before spreading out amidst the Sanskrit chanting. The entire monastery immediately turned extremely peaceful. The vexed emotions in everyone's hearts were swept away!
In the drum tower, Fangzheng was striking the drum. The scene of Zen Master One Finger's impending demise remained in his eyes. His heart ached so much that he wanted to dig it out and rub it, as though that was the only way to soothe his pain.
At that moment, a gong suddenly sounded. The majestic gong brought with it infinite wish forces and Buddhistic aura!
At that instant, Fangzheng's ears instantly recovered his hearing. His eyes turned sharp, and the scene in front of him was no longer a blur. He could finally see everything clearly!
"Fangzheng, no matter what you do in the future, think of your name." Those were Zen Master One Finger's final words.
When Fangzheng heard that, he recalled Zen Master One Finger's answer when he asked him why he had given him such an unpleasant name.
"Oh? You find Fangzheng unpleasant? Then what kind of name is pleasant? "Zen Master One Finger returned with a question.
Fangzheng sat on a rock and looked up into the sky. "How about Fang Aotian? It sounds so cool … "
"Haha … Aotian? Look down on the heavens? But why do you look down on the heavens? "Zen Master One Finger asked.
"I heard that the world is heartless and treats all things as dogs. They treat us as pigs and dogs, so of course I have to look down on them. I don't want to be treated as a pig or dog by them … "Fangzheng pouted indignantly.
Zen Master One Finger shook his head with a smile. "You. You were sent to school to learn things. But why do you only learn half of what you learn? In the past, you said that wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha sits in the heart. It was a half-sentence that had been intercepted by someone. Now, you are saying such things. Sigh … Fangzheng, you have to learn to verify what others say in the future. Don't blindly believe them. Otherwise, it will only ruin your life. There will be no benefits. "
