The instant Fangzheng put down the drumsticks, he felt refreshed. He felt like he was about to ascend! He roared with laughter. "Awesome!"
On the other side, Monkey felt the same. Although he had struck the Yongle Bell, he had to work hard to overcome the negative emotions in his heart to resist the Kui War Drum. After battling for so long, he had slain countless evil thoughts with the Yongle Bell's help. Monkey no longer felt like a monkey, but a monkey king … He roared in pleasure.
Although Red Boy, Lone Wolf, and Squirrel also benefited from it, it was much lesser. They did not feel it as deeply. Even so, the drum's thunderous gongs and the bell's dragon's roar still left one's heart stirring! Just listening to it was an indescribable enjoyment.
"Master, that's it? I haven't heard enough yet, "Squirrel cried out indignantly.
"That's right. Although the drum's sound is unpleasant and disgusting, it sounds great when accompanied by the bell's gongs. It's like watching two peerless experts fight. It's exhilarating and exhilarating, "Lone Wolf added. He did not know that the experts were the good and evil in his heart. Good won and evil lost, so it was naturally exhilarating.
Red Boy said, "Master, this indeed feels great. Why don't you strike him for another hour?"
"The morning bell and evening drum are to be struck when the time is right. You are not to strike past the time. These are the rules. Also, Jingfa, you are to lie down below the drum tower in the future. Do not allow anyone to ascend the drum tower. Understand? "asked Fangzheng.
"What? You want me to look at that bull?! "Lone Wolf jumped in fright as his legs trembled! He had been to the drum tower before. The drum was just too frightening.
Fangzheng rebuked him jokingly. "Look at how useless you are. With such guts, how can you be One Finger Monastery's Guardian Protector? If you can't do it, why don't I get other wolf cubs to try? "
Lone Wolf turned anxious when he heard that. He had been forced out by other wolf cubs, so he did not wish to take the same path. He hurriedly shouted. "Master, I must complete the mission!"
Fangzheng smiled helplessly when he saw this. Fangzheng was still very assured with Lone Wolf. Although he was usually a little silly, he always completed the missions given to him well. He was a silly person on the outside, but he was very serious on the inside. At the very least, Fangzheng found him more reliable than Red Boy!
After the striking of the bell and drum was over, Fangzheng took a cold shower and went to bed feeling refreshed.
Just then …
"Have you thought it through? Should I try the lottery now? You've accumulated a lot of merit points, "the system suddenly asked.
Fangzheng thought for a moment and said, "What's the approximate level of the items that are drawn?"
"That's hard to say, but all in all, it's definitely something good!" the system said.
Fangzheng licked his lips. After enduring for so long, he really could not hold it in any longer. He had already experienced the benefits of the bell and drum. What about other things? The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Finally, Fangzheng said, "Not for now!"
"Heh, you're really patient. Alright, it's up to you. "After saying that, the system disappeared.
Fangzheng heaved a sigh of relief. To be honest, it was extremely difficult to resist such temptation. However, Fangzheng knew very well that he wasn't lacking anything. Since he wasn't lacking anything, why was he in a hurry to draw? How nice would it be to save up a big one!
With this in mind, Fangzheng flipped his body and fell into a deep sleep. The struggle in his mind was far more exhausting than the cultivation of his body. Although it felt good to be freed from it, the exhaustion of his mind could not be wiped away.
Fangzheng slept all the way to the next day …
Before daybreak the next day, Fangzheng and Monkey were already in place. After calculating the time, they struck the bell and drum!
With his mental demons removed, Fangzheng did not feel any psychological burden when he struck the drum this time. He did not feel any discomfort either. However, the demonic nature in the drum still attempted to influence Fangzheng. Fangzheng used the Diamond Sutra and his unwavering kindness to resist it. After a while, his state of mind improved significantly. His entire being seemed to sublimate. It felt great …
"This drum is indeed good stuff! Hahaha! "Fangzheng finally understood why the System had said that it was a freak combination of factors. Perhaps it was an opportunity?
It was indeed an opportunity, a huge opportunity! Fangzheng did not lack items filled with Buddhist qualities. They were everywhere in the monastery. With more of them, although the world would be clear, there would be no fish if the water was too clear. Without any demonic nature, Fangzheng had no idea how to improve himself further. To improve further, he did not need Buddhist qualities, but to dig out his own demonic nature!
The Kui War Drum happened to make up for this flaw.
"The world has imperfections, and a part of the Great Dao escapes. This Kui War Drum is the missing part of One Finger Monastery. Only with imperfections can there be perfection, and there is the possibility of improvement. A flawless Dao is instead at a disadvantage, sealing its own path. "Fangzheng sighed inwardly.
Before daybreak, before the bell and drum sounded, a van was slowly moving forward in Songwu County.
The driver was an old man in his fifties. His face was covered in wrinkles, but his complexion was excellent. He was rosy and clearly in good health. His eyes were bright like an eagle's. The old man held the steering wheel with both hands and opened them slightly. One could see his thick calluses.
The old man was dressed very strangely. He was dressed in a Tang suit and had a huge string of Buddha Beads around his neck. However, he did not exude any Zen vibes. Instead, he exuded a fierce feeling.
Sitting in the front passenger seat was a young man. His legs were propped up in front as he leaned back in his seat. He was playing with a tablet and as he read, he said with a smile, "Uncle Da, are you sure there are treasures in Mt. Tongtian? We came all the way here. Let's not leave empty-handed. That would be boring. "
"Sure my ass. What can we tell from the satellite images? However, from the way the mountain is moving, there should be treasures. Let's take a look when we arrive. If there isn't anything, we can just treat it as a holiday. "Uncle Da's voice was loud and clear. The moment he spoke, his words were filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Sitting behind him was a woman. She said with a smile, "Zhang Zi, Uncle Da has discerning eyes in our line of work. If he says there's treasure, it's most likely true."
"I was just saying it in passing. If I didn't trust Uncle Da, would I have come? Besides, following Uncle Da gives you meat to eat. That's something I've heard since I was young, "said Zhang Zi with a smile.
Uncle Da chuckled. "If not for your father, would you even think of following me? Dream on! Mute, is everything prepared? "
"Uh!" Sitting beside Ying Zi was a man in his forties. He was dressed in a T-shirt and baggy pants. He had a squarish face and looked a little wooden. His eyes were long and narrow, and he was always squinting. If one did not look carefully, it was impossible to see where his pupils were. Mute grunted in acknowledgment, indicating that everything was ready.
Only then did Uncle Da say, "Impressive. You can prepare good things no matter where we go."
Just as he said that, a series of gongs and drums sounded. The rumbling drums and clanging bells were not ear-piercing, but they left one's heart palpitating!
