However, the people who were watching the commotion were displeased with Fangzheng's actions. When they heard the beggar's words and saw Fangzheng's bald head and monk robes, they were enlightened.
"One is a beggar, asking for money. The other is a monk, begging for alms. Both of them want money. I never expected the beggar to lose to the monk. Being a monk sure feels good … "
"Tsk, this beggar sure is pious. He's still giving the monk so much money despite being in such a state."
"Beggar is stupid and rich?"
…
Upon hearing this, the beggar felt like crying. He glared angrily at Fangzheng as though he was saying: "Just you wait!"
Fangzheng shot a glance at the beggar and activated his Wisdom Eye. A cold glint flashed in the depths of his eyes. The person in front of him had negative karma! The baneful aura lingered around him like a devil! Most importantly, Fangzheng realized that the person's negative karma was in human form! The negative karma was like a layer of black smoke that swirled around a person's body. Therefore, no matter what clothes the person wore, the moment the negative karma appeared, it was as though the person was stripped naked. There was no way for the person to hide. Fangzheng swept his gaze over. Man, this fellow actually had some tricks up his sleeves!
Hence, Fangzheng smiled. "Amitabha. Patron, This Penniless Monk is truly touched by your sincerity. As repayment, This Penniless Monk will help you grow a pair of legs and return you a healthy body. How about it? "
The beggar's heart palpitated when he heard that. He hurriedly shouted, "You don't have to be a busybody!"
Red Boy finally understood what was going on. He chuckled and pointed to the side of the beggar. "Who's that?"
The beggar subconsciously looked over and heard a tearing sound. He felt a chill on his body. He turned his head and saw that his pants had been ripped open by Red Boy. His red underpants were instantly exposed!
Everyone saw that Fangzheng and Red Boy were about to do something to the beggar. Just as they were about to berate Fangzheng and Red Boy for going overboard, they saw the red underpants appear. More importantly, there was a pair of legs beneath the red underpants!
"This …" Everyone understood that the pants were very baggy, and there was a trick to the small carriage. And with this combination and the man's soft body, his legs could be perfectly hidden. As such, a healthy person had become a crippled beggar! Everyone was furious. This bastard was actually a swindler!
The beggar also realized that something was amiss. Faced with the furious gazes around him, he no longer had the time to find fault with Fangzheng. He got up and pushed the cart, grabbed the remaining half of his pants, and fled pathetically. However, before he left, he did not forget to turn his head and shout at Fangzheng, "Just you wait!"
Fangzheng laughed out loud. "Amitabha. Patron, do you plan on giving This Penniless Monk some incense money?"
"You're finished, you're finished!" The beggar shouted and ran away.
"Well done!" At this time, a young man in the crowd shouted and began to applaud.
When everyone heard that, they snapped back to their senses. So the monk was punishing evil and promoting good! Immediately, all of them laughed and cheered along with Malfunction.
When everyone saw this, they began to worry for Fangzheng. At that moment, the lad who had led the applause walked over and said, "Venerable One, quickly leave. Nowadays, the ones who were swindling and begging weren't just one person. They were all in cahoots, and they weren't good people. If you're too slow, they might take revenge on you. "
Fangzheng pressed his palms together. "Patron, thank you for your concern. However, This Penniless Monk still has things to do, so This Penniless Monk can't leave for the time being. Of course, if the thief dares to return, it's nothing. This Penniless Monk will teach him a lesson. "
The man said with a bitter smile, "If he comes again, he won't be alone. When the time comes, a group of people will swarm him. Two fists won't be a match for four hands. Venerable One, quickly leave. "
Fangzheng shook his head. The man tried to persuade him all day, but when he saw that Fangzheng had no intention of leaving and even wanted to stay to punish evil and promote good, he felt somewhat helpless. All he could do was shake his head and bid farewell.
However, the man did not go far before he returned. This time, he had a pole in his hand. "Venerable One, this is all I can do for you. If you really can't beat them, it's best you run." With that said, he handed the pole to Fangzheng.
Fangzheng looked at the pole in his hand before looking at Red Boy and then at the man's departing back. He pressed his palms together and asked, "Patron, how should I address you?"
"My name is Ding Ce. I'll be beside you. If they come, shout for me. I'll help you call the police, "said Ding Ce as he waved his hand.
Red Boy laughed dryly when he heard that. "This fellow is really … cowardly!"
Fangzheng smiled. "It's not cowardly. It's already not bad to be able to do this to a stranger."
Red Boy thought about it and agreed. Who would fight for someone who wasn't related to him? If he won, he would go to jail and lose money. If he lost, he would be beaten up. Ignoring the pain, he would also delay work and earn money. To be able to provide a weapon and advise him nicely, and finally help him call the police, he was truly a good person.
Red Boy sighed. "Master, the standards of good people in your world are really low."
Fangzheng shook his head. "It's not that the standards of good people are low, but that the entire world is the same. Even in your world, it's the same. What is a good person? A hero who roars at the sight of injustice. A saint who sacrifices himself for others and does all good deeds! Those who can help others without harming others or harming others, and do their best to help others without harming their own interests, are good people. "
Red Boy thought about it and it did seem to make sense.
Just as the master and disciple were chatting as they walked, a voice suddenly sounded beside them.
"Venerable Ones, may I ask if you know where Deng Xiao lives?" A voice that sounded a little timid, shy, and anxious suddenly sounded.
Fangzheng looked up and was instantly stunned!
He saw an old woman with a dusty face standing in front of them. She held a basket in her right hand, and in the basket were some eggs. The eggs didn't look good, and they weren't big either. However, as a thief who had been stealing eggs for more than ten years, Fangzheng was quite knowledgeable about eggs. He could tell at a glance that the eggs were definitely free-range eggs! In other words, free-range chickens in the countryside would be frightened out of their wits.
"Amitabha. Patron, are you looking for someone?" Fangzheng looked suspiciously at the old woman in front of him. For some reason, Fangzheng's heart ached when he saw her.
The old woman hurriedly smiled. "Yes, I'm looking for my daughter. Her name is Deng Xiao. Venerable One, do you know her? "
Fangzheng shook his head. "Patron, This Penniless Monk isn't a local either. This Penniless Monk doesn't know the Deng Xiao you speak of. However, other than her name, do you know anything else? "
A look of disappointment flashed in the old woman's eyes when she heard that. Her turbid eyes were somewhat blank as she said casually, "I only know that she works nearby, but I don't remember anything else. By the way, I have a photo of her. "
With that said, the old woman took out a photo as though it was a treasure. Fangzheng took a look at it. It was a young and beautiful girl. However, from her attire and the yellowed look of the photo, Fangzheng knew that it was likely taken many years ago. As the saying goes, a girl changes eighteen times between womanhood and womanhood. It was impossible to rely on such a photo to find her unless he met someone who knew her very well.
