Lin Tai said agitatedly, "Brother Song, are you sure you didn't see wrong?"
Song Tianqiao shook his head. "I, Song Tianqiao, don't think I have a good character, but I never lie in my professional field. Brother Lin, there's a huge bell on the bell tower. It's even bigger than the Yongle Bell! If I'm not wrong, it should be the biggest bell in the world. Furthermore, the patterns on it and the forging methods are ancient. It has a long history. Such a huge bell can no longer be called an antique, but a national treasure! It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's the best national treasure in the world! It's not an exaggeration to say that such a bell is priceless! "
With that said, Song Tianqiao bowed at Fangzheng again. "I was rash previously. Please don't blame me, Master."
Song Tianqiao had thought nothing of Fangzheng as an abbot in the past, but things were different now. A person who could donate such a precious bell was definitely no ordinary person. Be it money, strength, or status, he was definitely an extremely terrifying existence. This person was a lot more impressive than Lin Tai. Song Tianqiao did not wish to offend the person who donated the bell tower because of Lin Tai.
As everyone knew, faith was a terrifying thing at times. For someone to donate such a precious bell, it meant that he had faith in Fangzheng's faith in One Finger Monastery. He had come all the way here to disgust Fangzheng. If news of this were to spread, Fangzheng would be enraged. Song Tianqiao had no idea how he would die. Even if he didn't have faith, he would still offend Fangzheng if he ridiculed his donation.
He could not afford to offend the person who donated the bell, so he immediately admitted defeat.
Then, he rushed down the mountain without waiting for Lin Tai's reaction. As for the rest, he didn't dare look at it!
Lin Tai shouted when he saw this, but Song Tianqiao ran off without turning his head.
Lin Tai's heart sank. He knew that the matter had blown up. He turned to look at Fangzheng.
Fangzheng smiled. "Patron, do not speak nonsense in front of Buddha. The mountain path is slippery, so be careful when crawling."
With that said, Fangzheng turned and left.
Lin Tai, Li He, and Cui Jiandong's faces alternated between livid and pale. They were as ugly as they could be.
"Hey … You are leaving just like that?" Lin Xi panicked when she saw Fangzheng leave.
Fangzheng said without turning his head, "Female Patron, it's fate that brought us together. This Penniless Monk will leave you with a message: Don't ride white horses in the future."
Lin Xi was stunned. How did he know that he liked to ride white horses?
Liu Ying turned anxious as well. Having repeatedly misunderstood Fangzheng, she felt her face burn. Thinking back to her past actions, it was as though she had never treated Fangzheng as an equal. She had always subconsciously belittled him. Now that she looked at it again, wasn't she looking down on him? Lin Tai and the rest felt like they had been slapped in the face, but so did she.
Gritting her teeth, Liu Ying chased after him. Just as Fangzheng was about to enter the door, she said, "Fangzheng, sorry!"
Fangzheng was slightly taken aback when he heard that. Following that, he turned his head and smiled at Liu Ying. "Amitabha. Patron, This Penniless Monk mentioned that This Penniless Monk hasn't forgotten the kindness of the meal. This Penniless Monk will also give you a word of advice. Stocks are risky, so sell them as soon as possible. "
With that said, Fangzheng turned around and left. He passed through the front yard to the backyard.
When Liu Ying saw this, she let out a long sigh. She knew that Fangzheng's words basically meant that the two of them had made up their minds and no longer had anything to do with each other.
Just as Liu Ying was about to leave, she suddenly frowned. She then had a look of astonishment on her face. The huge tree in front of her looked so familiar. Raising her head, she was completely stunned.
"This is a bodhi tree? It's really alive! It really covers the monastery's yard. It can cool down … "With this in mind, Liu Ying felt bitter. So Fangzheng had really never lied. From beginning to end, they had been frogs in a well. They had been too full of themselves. With this in mind, Liu Ying no longer had the mood to probe why the bodhi tree was alive in the north. Instead, she turned and left, descending the mountain dejectedly.
At the instant she turned her head, Liu Ying felt her heart empty. It was as though she had lost something that she could never retrieve again.
On the way down the mountain …
"Brother, you are really crawling!" Lin Xi looked in astonishment at Lin Tai who was sprawled on the ground as he descended the mountain.
Lin Tai said with a flushed face, "Crawl. A man never goes back on his word! A man of his word! "
Although he said that, he was cursing inwardly. "What the f * * k is going on? Why can't I stand up? Why can't I crawl? Can someone save me? I don't want to crawl … "
When Li He and Cui Jiandong saw Lin Tai crawl, the two lackeys were too embarrassed to continue. All they could do was crawl bitterly. Instantly, it became a strange scene.
And at that moment, Fangzheng was sitting in the yard casting his divine powers. At the same time, he said, "A monk doesn't lie, but you can't lie to a monk either. Amitabha. This Penniless Monk shall help you be an honest and trustworthy child."
Elsewhere, Red Boy, Monkey, Lone Wolf, and Squirrel looked at Fangzheng and shook their heads slightly. Red Boy mumbled. "Indeed, Master is still so petty. He bullies whoever bullies him."
Squirrel, Lone Wolf, and Monkey nodded in unison.
"Jingxin, This Penniless Monk suddenly recalled that the Frost Bamboo needs to be watered. Go fetch some water and water it. If you don't finish watering the bamboo forest, you are not to eat. "Fangzheng's voice suddenly sounded.
Red Boy was immediately on the brink of tears. Why were the darn baldy's ears so sharp? Wasn't he focused on scamming others? Boohoo … When did the bamboo forest need to be watered? Didn't that thing grow on its own? F * * k, can't you just say so if you want to scam me? What a lousy reason!
Seeing Red Boy obediently fetch the water, Squirrel, Lone Wolf, and Monkey exchanged looks and hurriedly went to work obediently. Speak less and work more so as not to be missed by the monk! This was the way of One Finger Monastery's survival!
Deep into the night, Fangzheng looked up into the sky and said, "The moon is getting rounder. Tomorrow is the festival."
Although Lin Tai and his old classmates gave him a terrible feeling, Fangzheng's character had always been to throw away the unhappy matters and leave only the happy ones. Therefore, he was in a rather good mood.
Some people were happy while others were sad. After climbing down the mountain, Lin Tai's knees were abraded. His pants worth more than two thousand yuan were in tatters as he lay in the backseat of the car. He was in so much pain that tears nearly flowed out of his eyes. He cursed incessantly, "Darn Fangzheng, you embarrassed me. I'm not finished with you!"
"That's right. Boss Lin, we can't let this matter pass." Li He followed. He wasn't any better. His knees were covered in blood as he grimaced in pain.
Cui Jiandong nodded as well. The few of them began cursing in the car.
At that moment, Song TianQiao sent Lin Tai a message. Lin Tai's face turned livid when he read it! There really was a bronze bell that was priceless. The person who could donate such a valuable bronze bell was definitely an important figure! With such a person backing Fangzheng, he couldn't afford to offend him!
With this in mind, Lin Tai threw his cell phone to the side and gritted his teeth all day. Finally, he gave up the thought of finding trouble with Fangzheng.
As the sound of firecrackers drowned out the rooster's crowing, Fangzheng knew that a new day had arrived. It was the mid-autumn festival!
"Master, Master! It's the mid-autumn festival. Should we go down the mountain? " Red Boy had long learned his lesson. He knew that there would definitely be good food during the festive season. At the very least, there would be fun. Therefore, the child took his cell phone and browsed through all the festive events of the year. However, he also knew that Fangzheng only celebrated traditional Chinese festivals. He didn't celebrate foreign festivals or non-traditional domestic festivals. Therefore, he had been holding back and looking forward to it. Finally, it was the mid-autumn festival. He seemed to smell the fragrance of mooncakes!
The moment Fangzheng opened the door, he saw Red Boy standing right in front. Behind him was Lone Wolf, who was drooling with his tongue hanging out, Squirrel, who was rubbing his tummy and swallowing his saliva, and Monkey, who had a look of Amitabha while secretly thinking about something. Upon seeing their odd combination, Fangzheng said in exasperation, "It's the festive season, but as for food …"
Red Boy, Squirrel, Lone Wolf, and Monkey revealed looks of anticipation. There was no other way about it. Although there was delicious Crystal Rice and tasty Unrooted Clean Aqua on the mountain, one would get sick of eating anything for a long period of time. They always wanted to try other flavors.
Fangzheng said, "There's none!"
"What!?" Squirrel was the first to shout. The little guy was the most gluttonous. Without any delicious food, it was equivalent to killing him.
Fangzheng raised his hand and struck him, sending the little guy tumbling a few times. Then, he said with a smile, "There's definitely nothing ready-made if you want to eat it. If you really want to eat it, make it yourself!"
"Make it yourself? Make what? " Red Boy, Squirrel, Lone Wolf, and Monkey asked in unison. How could they not know what was on the mountain? What could they do with this bit of food?
"Of course it's to make mooncakes," said Fangzheng.
"Master, you know how to make mooncakes?" Red Boy asked in astonishment. Squirrel was filled with anticipation while Lone Wolf began drooling again. Monkey had a secret smile on his lips.
Fangzheng looked up and shook his head under the animals' expectant gazes. "I don't know!"
"Then …" The animals immediately wore bitter expressions.
Fangzheng said, "Although I don't know, everyone can search on the Internet. Let's learn how to make it together. That will be today's homework! "
"Master, what about the ingredients?" asked Red Boy.
Fangzheng said, "If we lack anything, we can go down the mountain and buy it. Now that we are rich, we won't be so poor that we can't afford the ingredients to make mooncakes. "
The animals immediately became happy again. All of them were in high spirits. Red Boy immediately went down the mountain to fetch water while Monkey prepared a chopping board. Lone Wolf and Squirrel had nothing to do for the time being. Squirrel asked out of curiosity, "Master, why don't we buy ready-made ones?"
Fangzheng looked at Squirrel's raised little fat face as a familiar scene flashed in his mind.
Fangzheng, who had just turned five, tiptoed to reach the table and watched Zen Master One Finger knead the dough. He asked out of curiosity, "Master, why don't we buy ready-made ones? I see many children buy ready-made ones. "
Zen Master One Finger's eyes flashed with a look of helplessness before he patted Fangzheng on the head. "Fangzheng, remember. You might not be able to make the best food in the world, but only your own hands can make the taste of home. It's the taste that suits you best."
Fangzheng wore a blank look. He did not understand.
After so many years, Fangzheng suddenly understood the meaning of the sentence when he thought about it again. Fangzheng looked down at his hands and smiled. "Because this is the taste of home. It can't be bought outside."
