"Yes … That's right. That's the only explanation that makes sense. From the looks of it, we ultimately misunderstood Abbot Fangzheng, "said Zhao Yumin with a bitter smile. He felt extremely regretful! If they had not berated Fangzheng back then and believed his explanation, would they have had such an opportunity?
Jiang Ting said, "Director, Abbot Fangzheng actually has good intentions. Monkey and the rest had verbally offended Abbot Fangzheng back then, but Abbot Fangzheng didn't hold a grudge. However, Abbot Fangzheng didn't bear a grudge. He even guided Monkey to avoid the calamity. I think … If you sincerely apologize … "
Zhao Yumin shook his head. "We will definitely apologize, but a mistake is a mistake. Even if Abbot Fangzheng doesn't blame us, we won't have the face to go up the mountain to beg for his forgiveness. Sigh … Let's leave it at that. "
The next day, Zhao Yumin and Ruan Xianghe came to Mt. One Finger once again. However, this time, they were in a different mood.
Thinking back to their attitude towards Fangzheng, Ruan Xianghe's face blushed. She stood at the monastery's entrance in a daze, not daring to step in.
"Amitabha. Patrons, is there something you need? Have you been standing at the entrance all morning? " A young monk suddenly appeared at the entrance. He looked to be about four or five years old. He wasn't tall, and his face was as exquisite as a porcelain doll's. His monk robes were very fitting, and he looked no different from an adorable child from a cartoon.
It lit up Zhao Yumin's and Ruan Xianghe's eyes. They thought, "This monastery sure is filled with heroes. Even the monks are so beautiful …"
Just as this thought was made, they saw a monk covered in black hair walk past. When the two saw him, they felt as though something in their hearts had shattered.
Thankfully, the two immediately snapped out of their daze and explained the reason for their visit.
Red Boy shook his head. "This Penniless Monk is Abbot Fangzheng's disciple. Patrons, my master is meditating in seclusion. He hasn't left the temple hall for three days. If there's anything, it's best you come another day. "
Zhao Yumin and Ruan Xianghe were stunned. He hadn't left the temple hall for three days? Meditating?
They exchanged looks and saw the shock and worry in each other's eyes. Was this monk starving?
Red Boy continued. "Patrons, is there anything else?"
"Little Master, will your Master starve to death?" Zhao Yumin asked.
When Red Boy heard this, he raised his head slightly and said with a bit of pride, "My master's magical power is unparalleled. Not to mention two days, even if he sat for ten days to half a month, he would still be fine. Benefactors, you worry too much. "
Just as he said that, he heard Fangzheng's voice behind him. "Aiyah, This Penniless Monk is starving. Jingxin, is there any rice left? Let me have a bite first! "
Red Boy's face flushed red as he cursed Fangzheng inwardly. What a scam! I helped you boast, but how did you end up being sold out? He would not help Fangzheng brag in the future.
Zhao Yumin and Ruan Xianghe laughed when they saw Red Boy's blushing face. Red Boy looked way too young, so they naturally wouldn't take his words seriously. He felt that this little fellow was very cute …
Since Fangzheng had come out of seclusion, the duo no longer hid. Gritting their teeth, they walked into the monastery and happened to see Fangzheng walk into the backyard.
Zhao Yumin shouted, "Abbot Fangzheng …"
"Patron, if there's anything, let's do it another day." This Penniless Monk waved his hand without turning his head. He was truly hungry! Although the spirit ginseng was a very nutritious item, all the Spirit Qi had been devoured by the dragon elephant. All Fangzheng's stomach was water without any medicinal properties … What use was a stomach full of water? He was hungry!
Zhao Yumin and Ruan Xianghe were instantly infuriated. This monk was truly … different from the rest!
The duo refused to give up and wanted to enter the backyard. Red Boy hurriedly stopped them and said, "Patrons, the monastery's living quarters are behind. We don't accept visitors. Please return."
The moment that was said, a huge white wolf as strong as an ox walked over. It shot a glance at the duo before lazily sprawling by the door. It opened its mouth, revealing its fangs that were as long as a palm. They shimmered coldly under the sunlight! Of course, without the few vegetable leaves, it would have looked even more ferocious …
Even so, Zhao Yumin and Ruan Xianghe didn't dare proceed forward.
However, the two of them could still look in!
They saw Fangzheng holding a bowl as he ate his cold rice. Furthermore, there were no vegetables in the rice at all, and he seemed to be enjoying it! The sound of chopsticks colliding with the bowl was heard as the bowl of rice entered Fangzheng's stomach. After eating three bowls in one go, Fangzheng drank a huge bowl of water before letting out a long breath. He rubbed his belly and revealed a satisfied smile. "Nice!"
"Abbot Fangzheng …" Seeing Fangzheng finish eating, Zhao Yumin couldn't help but call out.
Fangzheng looked up and was surprised to discover two people standing by his door! He had been preoccupied with eating, so he hadn't noticed that there were people by his door. On careful look, it was the pair of disrespectful patrons from two days ago. Fangzheng immediately frowned as he pressed his palms together. "Amitabha. Patrons, is something the matter?"
"Abbot Fangzheng, sorry. We were in the wrong. We doubted you before we figured out anything. We are here to apologize to you, "said Zhao Yumin respectfully. Fangzheng had resolved the life-and-death situation with a single sentence and Bodhisattva appearing to save Jiang Ting. This had happened right in front of him, so he had no choice but to trust and respect Fangzheng.
Ruan Xianghe believed him this time as well. Despite her usual arrogance, she lowered her head and said, "I was indeed in the wrong two days ago. Abbot, please don't blame me. "
Fangzheng shook his head. "Amitabha. Patrons, This Penniless Monk does not hold grudges against you. It has been so long and has long been forgotten. If the two of you wish to offer incense and pray to Buddha, you can head to the temple hall. If there's nothing else, This Penniless Monk won't be accompanying you. "
Upon hearing Fangzheng say that, Lone Wolf, Red Boy, and Monkey rolled their eyes. That's right. This monk did not hold grudges against them! This was because he did not hold grudges against them overnight!
Ruan Xianghe and Zhao Yumin heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Fangzheng forgive them. Then, they bowed again and turned to leave.
Upon seeing this, Fangzheng pricked up his brows. The duo's actions had truly surprised him. For them to return to apologize clearly meant that his prophecy had come true. Jiang Ting had survived the calamity and was protected by Bodhisattva. Fangzheng thought highly of them for them to leave without any desires despite knowing that he had divine powers.
Thinking back to the situation two days ago, Fangzheng could more or less understand their actions. If Fangzheng had a good friend who was stared at and ignored despite his repeated reminders, he would also be furious. As for divine powers, who would believe it in today's society? Back when Fangzheng crossed the river on a reed, the video had been released, but wasn't it criticized on the Internet as magic? Besides, the duo had only heard of it …
With this in mind, Fangzheng opened his Heavenly Eye and swept his gaze at the duo. There was no calamity. Instead, Zhao Yumin was blessed.
