Fangzheng followed Wang Yougui to the east side of the village and looked at the school that was under construction. The two of them began discussing the future development of Mt. One Finger. Fangzheng only had one request. He would set the rules on the mountain! They were not to earn money that went against their conscience at the foot of the mountain.
Wang Yougui naturally agreed. Lunch was also settled at Wang Yougui's house. They chatted with each other and the afternoon passed quickly.
In the evening, Fangzheng returned to the mountain with two large woven bags of frozen dumplings. As he placed them down, he called for Monkey. Fangzheng realized that Monkey was a little off today. Why did he look so weak? Without thinking too much about it, the man and monkey struck the bell and drum as they watched the sun set.
This meant that it was time for dinner!
Fangzheng hurriedly closed the door and rushed to the backyard. The moment he entered, he realized that something was amiss. Why were Lone Wolf and Squirrel's eyes glowing green?
"Master, have you forgotten something?" Red Boy said bitterly with a tinge of anger.
Fangzheng asked in confusion, "What is it? I don't think I've forgotten anything? "
Squirrel rubbed his slightly sunken belly and said with a sobbing tone, "Master, what delicious food did you eat at the foot of the mountain? I can smell the delicious food the moment you open your mouth. "
Lone Wolf lay there motionless and did not make a sound. Red Boy nudged him and Lone Wolf looked up weakly, "Ignore me. I don't want to move. I'm hungry!"
"Hungry?" Fangzheng was first taken aback before he suddenly recalled that he had finished the last bowl of rice in the morning! He had planned on making dumplings and eating noodles today, so he was in no rush to get the Crystal Rice. In the end, he had forgotten about it. This also meant that these idiots had been starving on the mountain for an entire day!
Fangzheng felt a little guilty as he looked at his starving and weak disciples. But soon, Fangzheng realized that something was amiss. Squirrel's tiny eyes were shifty. While Fangzheng was not paying attention, his eyes seemed to change. Fangzheng deliberately did not look at him but glanced at him from the corner of his eye.
Squirrel did not move either. Fangzheng deliberately asked Monkey, "No more rice?"
Monkey nodded and said, "That's all …" At the same time, he added, "Master, you were the one who made breakfast." What he meant was, "Don't you know?"
Fangzheng grinned in embarrassment. At the same time, he realized that Squirrel's slightly deflated tummy had indeed bulged up. Simultaneously, the little guy hurriedly took a deep breath and sucked his tummy back in. Fangzheng pricked up his brows. The little fatty had definitely eaten. He wasn't starving!
What about the others?
Fangzheng looked at Lone Wolf who was sprawled there motionless, as though he was too hungry to move. But what was a wolf? Hungry wolf, hungry wolf. Wolves were creatures that could endure hunger the most. Under normal circumstances, a wolf that had eaten its fill would be fine even if it starved for eight to ten days! Even the weaker ones could survive for a week. During this time, they could still maintain a certain amount of combat power and take the opportunity to hunt and replenish their food.
Lone Wolf didn't eat for a day, and he was already like this? Furthermore, he had just eaten it in the morning … Something was wrong!
Looking at Monkey again, Monkey was behaving normally without any changes. However, when Fangzheng gave him a few more looks, his eyes turned a little unfocused.
Fangzheng finally looked at Red Boy who looked pitifully at Fangzheng. There was no flaw in his act! Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and remained unperturbed. Others did not understand Red Boy and might be fooled by his adorable looks. However, Fangzheng was different. The little guy was his best tool for digging out lies. He was a professional liar and a king of acting! The more he acted, the more suspicious it was!
Therefore, Fangzheng's guilty conscience instantly vanished.
"Master, we are still hungry. We haven't eaten for an entire day. Do you think we should add something for dinner? "Red Boy said.
Fangzheng immediately understood when he heard that. The bunch of guys had been acting all day just to wait!
Fangzheng smiled. "Disciples, I suddenly had an epiphany today. I think there's a need to share it with all of you."
The moment Fangzheng said that, the few of them widened their eyes at him as though they were saying: "Are you trying to starve us to death?"
Squirrel could not help but mumble. "Master, can you hurry up and tell us?"
Fangzheng smiled. "No problem. It will be over soon."
When the few of them heard that, they immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Lone Wolf asked out of curiosity, "Master, what did you figure out today?"
Fangzheng took a chair and sat on it. "I read a Daoist book today. There's a saying in Daoism called Inedia!"
"Buttocks? What's there to say about buttocks? " Lone Wolf subconsciously replied. Then, he smacked Squirrel's fat buttocks. "This one is a little fat."
Squirrel immediately turned his head angrily and glared at him as though he was going to eat him up. Unfortunately, in the eyes of these fellow disciples, this little fatty posed no threat at all. It was completely useless …
Squirrel also knew his own limits. After expressing his displeasure, he went to Monkey's side in an aggrieved manner to seek comfort.
Monkey gently stroked his head and took the opportunity to pinch his fat buttocks. "Your buttocks are indeed quite meaty."
Squirrel howled in anger! Even Monkey was unreliable, much less Red Boy. He decided to hide on the roof and not come down to prevent himself from being molested.
However, when he went up and looked down, he saw Fangzheng, Lone Wolf, Monkey, and Red Boy looking up at him. Before he could ask, he heard everyone say in unison, "It's quite fat …"
When Squirrel heard that, he immediately shouted angrily, "I'm not fat! I have something on my mind, so I can't slim down! "
Everyone rolled their eyes at him …
"Master, forget it. Ignore him. Let's talk about buttocks, "said Lone Wolf.
Fangzheng nodded. "Alright, let's talk about buttocks … Buttocks … Buttocks!" Fangzheng immediately realized that he had been led astray! He hurriedly explained, "I'm talking about Inedia! Wave Intent Repelling! Five Grains Song! Inedia! Do you understand? "
However, the few of them shook their heads blankly …
Fangzheng was exasperated and couldn't be bothered to explain. "In layman's terms, it means that you can live without eating!"
"Oh, so you don't eat …" Lone Wolf mumbled subconsciously before he came to a realization!
Squirrel, Monkey, Red Boy, and Lone Wolf nearly screamed in unison. "You don't eat!?" To gluttons, there was nothing in the world more important than eating! Getting them to not eat was worse than killing them!
Fangzheng reached out his hand and held Lone Wolf's chin. He lifted it up slightly and closed Lone Wolf's gaping mouth. Then, he did the same and helped Monkey and Red Boy close their mouths. As for Squirrel on the roof? He tried his height, but he couldn't reach him, so he ignored it.
Fangzheng continued. "Yes, it's said that Inedia can cure lying. I've decided to give it a try. Today, our monastery will Inedia! Mealtime in three days! "
