Fangzheng said, "The mortal world is a sea of bitterness to begin with. Anyone who falls in will face misery. Who can escape? This Penniless Monk is still in the mortal world. What's so strange about being troubled? If there's no trouble, then it must be living in other people's circle of friends. "
Li Xueying was stunned. Then, she thought of her friends' WeChat Moments. Weren't they filled with laughter and delicacies? But is real life really like this? Obviously not! Li Xueying laughed and said, "Hehe, Venerable One, women really keep up with the times, hehe …"
Fangzheng looked down at his hands. "This Penniless Monk is still young …"
"Pu!" When Li Xueying saw Fangzheng's aggrieved look, she immediately beamed. She felt less vexed.
Li Xueying smiled and said, "Alright, let's not talk about unhappy things. Master, how long has it been since I last came? Your mountain has changed so much. It's bamboo, and it's a child's … Your bamboo is so beautiful, it's like it's made of jade. " Li Xueying raised her head and looked at the bamboo swaying in the wind. Her eyes were incomparably bright, like a child with a strong thirst for knowledge.
"This is Frost Bamboo, a bamboo unique to Mt. One Finger."
"I see." Li Xueying got up and walked over to look at the crystalline Frost Bamboo. She was filled with praise as she said, "Venerable One, if you were to renounce asceticism one day, this bamboo would be a huge fortune. It would be enough for you to live the rest of your life. To be honest, this is the best bamboo I've ever seen. It's so beautiful. "
"Not bad," said Fangzheng.
"Not bad? Alright, then what do Mages usually use Frost Bamboo for? "Li Xueying was indeed curious. It seemed like a waste to use such good bamboo for anything.
Fangzheng answered very seriously, "We eat them when we're young. When we grow up, we make tables and chairs. But most of the time, we chop them for firewood."
When Li Xueying heard that it was chopped for firewood, her expression suddenly stiffened. Such a good bamboo was actually used for firewood? How much of a prodigal would he have to be to do that!
Li Xueying's heart ached as she caressed the emerald-green Frost Bamboo. She said indignantly, "This bamboo is crystalline. There must be a lot of moisture, right? If he chopped the firewood, would it burn? “
Fangzheng rubbed his nose and continued, "It's alright. It will dry after a few days in the sun. However, this bamboo is also the same when it's dried. It's rather odd."
Fangzheng did not flaunt it. It was indeed odd. Typical bamboo would turn a withered yellow once it lost its moisture and dried up. However, without any moisture, the Frost Bamboo remained crystalline like crystal or glass. Finally, Fangzheng explained to himself that the bamboo came from Mount Numinous …
"It's still so beautiful?" Li Xueying asked in astonishment.
Fangzheng nodded.
"You lit a fire when you're so pretty?" Li Xueying looked at Fangzheng with a judgmental gaze.
Fangzheng continued nodding.
"Heavens, what a waste of heavenly gifts! I … I really want to tear you apart! "Li Xueying pulled on her long hair. She was about to go crazy!
Fangzheng shrugged. "To This Penniless Monk, that is his value."
"You can sell it for money!" Li Xueying shouted.
Fangzheng shook his head and said in all seriousness, "This Penniless Monk is a layman. How can he sell bamboo for money to do business?" However, he was roaring inwardly, "If I could sell it, would I need you to tell me?"
Li Xueying looked at Fangzheng who looked enlightened and was rendered speechless. She then said with a wry smile, "Alright, the bamboo is yours anyway. Do whatever you want. However, it's such a pity to chop the firewood."
At that moment, Li Xueying's cell phone rang. The moment she picked it up, she heard her manager's sobbing voice. "Sis Xueying, where did you go? If you didn't pick up the phone, I would have called the police. You gave me a fright … "
Li Xueying smiled awkwardly at Fangzheng and went to the side to answer the call.
But soon, Li Xueying's smile froze. Then, it turned for the worse as she said angrily, "These people are too much! Do they really think I don't care about this matter and let them do whatever they want? "
After a while, Li Xueying came over. However, she was clearly in a mess. She was no longer as relaxed as before.
Fangzheng did not say a word as he walked towards the monastery with Li Xueying.
"Venerable One, aren't you concerned about your friend? I'm already in such a state. Aren't you going to ask what happened? "Finally, Li Xueying could not help but grumble.
Fangzheng said with a smile, "Amitabha. Patron, you are not a person without fortune. Just be more optimistic about everything."
"Optimistic? I wish … Sigh. " Li Xueying sighed as she looked at the temple hall and silently walked over. Her heart was in a mess and she needed some peace and quiet. She only treated Fangzheng's words as him comforting her.
When Fangzheng saw this, he did not disturb Li Xueying. Instead, he went to the backyard and gave Li Xueying enough space to have some peace.
Li Xueying stood in front of the temple hall before turning around and retreating. She stood under the bodhi tree and browsed the Internet. Then, she said angrily, "Are they challenging my bottom line? Li Jun, don't force me to retaliate! "
Meanwhile, in Haicheng, in a revolving restaurant on the top floor of Tianfu Building, three people were sitting there with glowing faces as they drank.
"CEO Li, the attack was done beautifully! Haha! That bitch, Li Xueying, really thinks that she can strut around in China after going to Hollywood and becoming an international star? It's fine if she rejected our script, but she even snatched the same primetime slot from us. She really doesn't know her place! "a bald fatty sneered.
"She's an international star after all. She's confident … If I remember correctly, she said that our movie relies on a few faces to scam money. The plot is bullsh * t, and the characters are brainless fools … F * * k, do you think her movies are good? You really know everything after you go abroad and eat a few days of foreign knowledge, "Manager Li said eccentrically.
"CEO Li, she doesn't know what a fan economy is. What's the point of having content in a movie? Those few faces that were gouged out are enough. What's the rest important? What a joke! "another man with pimples grumbled.
"That's why, now that she has returned from overseas, as her seniors, we need to teach her a lesson. We need to let her understand what a movie is. At the same time, we need to let her learn to respect her seniors, "CEO Li said earnestly.
The other two laughed when they heard that.
"CEO Li is right. It's important to know one's own limitations. Although she, Li Xueying, is popular, has a team behind her, and Hollywood, in China, hmph! She doesn't even know the rules of the game, yet she dares to offend people. What a joke! I'm very curious how long she can last in this situation, "CEO Feng said with a pimple-faced CEO Li.
