The few of them smiled and left.
Fangzheng and company heaved a sigh of relief. Squirrel stuck out his tongue and burrowed into Fangzheng's sleeve, too embarrassed to come out.
The cinema was on the sixth floor of the building. This time, only Fangzheng and company were in the elevator. Fangzheng took the opportunity to explain, "The outside world hasn't changed, but …" Fangzheng gestured with his hand to explain the principles behind the elevator. Only then did the animals understand the intricacies behind it. However, they still found it novel, fun, and curious.
Fangzheng was having a great time chatting with the animals when with a ding, the elevator reached its destination. The animals immediately shut up and fell silent.
However, the security guard sitting in the surveillance room was a little curious when he saw the monk chatting with the animals in the elevator. Thankfully, he could only see and not hear what Fangzheng and company were saying. He only thought that Fangzheng was muttering to himself. After all, many people who reared dogs enjoyed chatting with them. With this in mind, he came to a realization.
After entering the cinema, the few of them suddenly felt that their eyes were not enough to take in everything. There were posters made by posters everywhere, and there were colorful lights everywhere. There were also all kinds of dolls and statues, dazzling them.
At that moment, a staff member walked over and politely said to Fangzheng, "Venerable One, we do not allow pets here, especially large dogs."
Lone Wolf was immediately displeased when he heard that. Was he a large dog? He was a large wolf, alright? What kind of crappy gaze was that?
Fangzheng hurriedly took out the movie tickets for him to see. After he saw it, he smiled. "So you are from One Finger Village. Are you Venerable Fangzheng?"
Fangzheng pressed his palms together. "Amitabha. It's This Penniless Monk."
"The boss said that you are the one who booked the entire place. You have the final say on how the venue is used. Of course, the premise is that you do not destroy the facilities. "
Fangzheng said, "Patron, don't worry. This Penniless Monk will definitely watch over them and prevent them from doing anything rash."
"I believe you, Venerable One. After all, these are the celebrity animals of One Finger Monastery. I've seen how obedient they are. I've been to One Finger Monastery before. It's really a good place. However, I only saw monk monkeys back then. I didn't see any other animals. I even thought that someone was pretending to be a Venerable One. Heh heh … "
Fangzheng never expected to meet someone who had been to One Finger Monastery. He immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Things would be easier if it was someone he knew.
Indeed, as the manager, the man took special care of Fangzheng and company. He arranged for Fangzheng to wait by the side with the animals. Fangzheng stepped on Lone Wolf's tail with one foot and held Squirrel's tail with one hand. At the same time, he glared at Red Boy. The three animals looked at Fangzheng with aggrieved looks. Did they look like disobedient scum? They were very obedient, okay? However, it was clear that it was useless to say anything …
Just like that, Fangzheng sat there for an hour. During this period, many people looked over curiously. Some boldly ran over to take a picture with him. Some recognized Fangzheng and struck up a conversation with him. Fangzheng didn't feel too lonely.
Soon, Wang Yougui arrived with the villagers. Following that, they entered the venue en masse and closed the door. Only then did Fangzheng release his grip. At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief. As a master, he could never forget how Lone Wolf had secretly lined up to receive ice cream. He could never forget the scene of Red Boy running around.
The moment Fangzheng released his grip, the animals heaved a sigh of relief as well. They began looking around, finding everything interesting. However, they were surrounded by people, so it wasn't appropriate for them to ask questions.
Red Boy did not have such qualms. Therefore, he helped the animals ask the questions on their minds. As for him? Having been online daily, he naturally knew what the things inside were for. However, it was his first time here.
After a positive advertisement, the lights suddenly went off. The animals jumped in fright.
Fangzheng gently stroked Lone Wolf's head and said, "Turning off the lights means that the movie is about to begin. Regardless of what happens in a while, you are not to shout or jump around!"
Lone Wolf, Squirrel, Monkey, and Red Boy nodded in unison.
At that moment, the movie began …
The scene began with a recital. It went on and on, "Mulan Danhu Weaves …"
The camera gradually turned clear. The female lead from her childhood appeared. She had a happy childhood and was relaxed and happy. Everything seemed so beautiful. The sky was blue, and the sun was golden. The children circled around their parents. The siblings ran all over the place, and the parents smiled like flowers.
But the next moment, there was a thunderclap. The weather changed! Dark clouds blotted out the sun, and torrential rain fell …
There was an urgent report from the border. The Rouran were invading the south. Smoke beacons rose as war broke out!
The clouds of war were still far away, but the atmosphere of war had already permeated the entire country. The entire country was conscripting soldiers, and Hua Mulan's family was one of them. Just like the original story, Hua Mulan finally stepped forward and joined the army in her father's place.
However, along the way, Hua Mulan witnessed the cruelty of war. There were flames of war everywhere, and there were deaths everywhere. There was no fairness in war. There was no respect for the elderly. There were no flowers or applause. There was only blood and tears!
Countless families were destroyed. Children crawled on their parents' corpses and shouted, "Mommy, don't sleep. I'm hungry …"
Parents hugged the dead children in their arms as they raised their heads to cry. However, they could not make a sound. Silent cries and sorrow permeated the surroundings …
When Hua Mulan's army passed by, they were surrounded by many commoners. They questioned, "Why is there a war!?"
However, no one could answer them. Everyone fell silent …
Upon seeing this, many villagers fell silent as well. Their hearts were heavy. Seeing the crying children and parents, their hearts ached. The women who didn't shed tears immediately cried.
Along the way north, Hua Mulan experienced all sorts of wars. She also grew up, but there was always a question in her heart. Why was there a war? What could war bring?
Following that, Hua Mulan became a scout and entered Mount Yan. She encountered the Rouran soldiers and a chaotic battle ensued. Nearly all of them were wiped out!
Upon seeing this, the villagers were stirred. Ergou pointed at the fellow lying on the ground with his ass in the air and shouted, "That's me! That's me! Haha … I'm too f * cking smart. I knew this look would be easy to recognize. Indeed, haha … "
Everyone rolled their eyes at the scheming b * tch. However, it had to be said that although this fellow was dead in a corner, his alluring pose was really easy to recognize! The others were depressed. Everyone was dead on the ground, but it was impossible to tell which one was them from the camera …
This plot stirred the blood of the viewers. The comrades-in-arms risking their lives to protect one another was quite touching. Unfortunately, the villagers understood the plot too well, so they did not feel anything.
At that moment, an old monk appeared. He had a benevolent look, but his eyes were filled with misery. So what if he was a monk in the face of war? Who could redeem anyone?
Fangzheng looked at the old monk and felt extremely shocked. The look in his eyes was one of bemoaning the state of the universe and pitying the fate of mankind. It revealed his anger towards war, but there was nothing he could do. He could not redeem the living, so he could only redeem the dead … Countless benevolence had turned into great sorrow. It was truly shocking!
