"Waiter, do you have City-Toppling Beauty?" At that moment, a man came in front of him. He ended up treating the boss of Jiujiu Cinema Chain, who was dressed in work attire, as a waiter.
"No …" The boss of Jiujiu Cinema Chain had no idea how he managed to say that. All he felt was his throat turning hoarse and uncomfortable.
"What kind of crappy cinema is this? It doesn't even have City-Toppling Beauty. It should close down early." The young man turned and left.
The boss of Jiujiu Cinema Chain felt like crying!
"Boss, City-Toppling Beauty has refused to screen in our cinema. They won't come if we don't take a cut," the secretary whispered.
The boss of Jiujiu Cinema Chain blacked out as he fainted.
On the contrary, Beardy was overjoyed. He was the first person to help City-Toppling Beauty in battle. After the battle was won, he naturally reaped the fruits of his labor. Countless praises filled Beardy's comment section as he could not stop grinning. All he could do was keep typing, "Thank you, thank you, thank you …"
At the same time, due to the rise in fame, advertisers came as well. Beardy laughed until his face cramped up.
Of course, the happiest people were the City-Toppling Beauty film crew. All of them reveled in the group chat, shouting for Li Xueying to treat them to a meal and buy them bags …
Li Xueying naturally agreed. However, before boarding the plane, she subconsciously glanced at Mt. One Finger. Over the past few days, she had been visiting Mt. One Finger every day. Every day, she watched the monks on the mountain strike the drums, strike the bell, recite scriptures, practice calligraphy, and teach Lame Ma carving. She watched the bamboo forest sway in the wind, watched Squirrel sleep soundly in the trees, watched Lone Wolf chase butterflies, watched Red Boy teach a grasshopper a lesson, and watched the white clouds float in the sky. She enjoyed the leisurely moment.
"If there comes a day when I can't take it anymore, I'll stay on the mountain opposite you. I'll also enjoy the peace and tranquility of this world," Li Xueying muttered inwardly. Li Xueying whispered in her heart, but in the end, her peaceful dream was shattered by the roar of the plane …
Regardless of how noisy the outside world was, Mt. One Finger was moderately quiet and peaceful.
Fangzheng sat under the bodhi tree as he read the recent news. The war in the Middle East was sweeping the entire country. The entire world was anti-war. Countless countries rushed to the streets, hoping to stop the war. Although there were no demonstrations in China, the anti-war sentiments were growing. With the entire world seeking peace, City-Toppling Beauty was pushed to the forefront. It was a triumphant advance, and the Chinese box office sales skyrocketed. No one knew if five billion could stop it. This was a movie festival that belonged to City-Toppling Beauty.
Red Boy sprawled on Fangzheng's back and looked at the cell phone's content. He cocked his head and said, "Master, isn't City-Toppling Beauty's popularity a little too unbelievable?"
Fangzheng shook his head. "This time, it's not that City-Toppling Beauty is popular, but that everyone's desire for peace is stronger. City-Toppling Beauty is just a pig standing in the limelight."
Red Boy nodded as if he understood.
An uneventful night passed as days passed. With the sound of firecrackers and gongs, Fangzheng was blasted out of the monastery. He stood on the cliff and looked down. All he saw was a bustling scene down the mountain.
"Master, what's going on?" Lone Wolf looked down curiously, his huge head sticking out of the cliff. Squirrel on his head was tugging at Lone Wolf's ears to prevent him from falling.
"It's August 1st. It's Army Day. It's a holiday that belongs to the country."
"Army Day?" Red Boy was taken aback before he asked, "Master, isn't an army built to fight wars? That's not a good thing, right? Didn't you say that fighting wars is a sin? "
Fangzheng nodded. "War is indeed a sin, but an army is not built to fight wars. Just like your pack of wolves, you have to survive in the forest. If you are given enough food, can you eat and sleep when you are full, and eat when you are full? "
Lone Wolf shook his head decisively. "Of course not. If you aren't strong enough, and there aren't enough wolves, what if you encounter a bear that comes to rob you?"
Fangzheng said, "That's right. It's the same principle between countries. Every country has a certain amount of resources. If you don't have the strength to protect these things, it's very likely to attract tigers, leopards, and wolves. Then, war is inevitable. There would usually be a military parade on Army Day. The purpose of the military parade was to show the bears how many wolves there were, how strong they were, and how sharp their claws and teeth were. If you were strong enough, the bears would not dare to act rashly even if they wanted to snatch your things.
There's no such thing as unconditional peace in this world. Peace needs powerful strength to protect it. "
Lone Wolf nodded his head immediately. Clearly, he agreed with Fangzheng's words.
"Master, it's very lively down the mountain. Can I go down to take a look?" Squirrel looked curiously at the bustling scene in One Finger Village.
"Master, I want to see the military parade too," Red Boy exclaimed.
Lone Wolf did not say a word, but his huge eyes filled with yearning said everything.
Monkey said silently, "Amitabha. This Penniless Monk wishes to go as well."
Fangzheng smiled. "Go if you want to. Let's go down the mountain together!"
"Yeah! Let's go! " Squirrel jumped in joy, but he slipped and tumbled down. He landed on his buttocks, eliciting laughter from the crowd.
The festive atmosphere on the mountain could already be felt, but at the foot of the mountain, it was deserted. There was not a single person on the streets.
"Master, where are the villagers? Why can't I see a single person? " Squirrel gave up on Lone Wolf's substandard steed and sat on Fangzheng's shoulder. He hugged a bamboo shoot in his hand.
Just as he said that, he heard a cheer from Wang Yougui's house. "Good! That's good! Haha! "
Squirrel, Lone Wolf, Monkey, and Red Boy looked suspiciously at Fangzheng.
"Why are you looking at This Penniless Monk? This Penniless Monk has no idea what they are doing. Let's go take a look. " With that said, Fangzheng led the animals to Wang Yougui's house. The moment he entered, he saw a large group of villagers, as well as Jiang Zhou and his disciples. There were groups of people sitting on the stove beds, and groups of people sitting on the ground. On the table was a huge watermelon, ice cream, and a huge bucket of underground water. In it were freshly plucked cucumbers and tomatoes. They looked delicious.
On the television, a Chinese program was being broadcasted. They saw a group of soldiers walking over from afar. They walked in an orderly manner and kicked their legs. When they landed, there was a loud thud that made everyone's blood boil! There was a flurry of discussion about the content on the television. They talked about how the army did not disappoint them, how cool the soldiers were, etc.
Fangzheng's arrival immediately caused a stir. All of them greeted him and made way for him.
Fangzheng did not stand on ceremony. He sat on the stove bed and watched the commotion.
Red Boy and company looked at Fangzheng who gestured for them to sit anywhere they wanted.
