In addition, once he was included in the list of old debtors, he would also be on the list of people who broke their promises. From now on, all of your bank accounts will be frozen. Taking airplanes, high-speed trains, sleeping on ordinary trains, sending your children to school, buying a house, expanding, remodeling, and so on will all be prohibited. Also, there is another rule in our county. Once you are listed as a dishonest person, all buses, taxis, and travel companies will refuse to serve you. Even supermarkets will not sell you anything. In other words, you are completely isolated … "
Upon hearing Fangzheng's words, Ma Jiangping shuddered at the thought of the consequences. After all, humans were social animals. Living in this world, they couldn't avoid the various public systems. Once they were excluded from the public system, they basically couldn't do anything. He looked at his grandson and granddaughter who still had no idea what was going on, then looked at his son and daughter-in-law.
Ma Jiangping finally let out a long sigh. "This … this can't be real, right? Otherwise, why didn't we receive any news about it? "
Fangzheng said, "Look at the execution date below."
Ma Jiangping took a look and saw that it would be implemented next year! Once it was executed, it would be a fate worse than death! What's the use of money if there's nowhere to spend it? Thinking of this, Ma Jiangping's forehead was covered in cold sweat …
Fangzheng stood up and said, "The Heavens are watching what Man does. When you think nothing of morality, the law will be forced to follow. Almsgiver, it's not scary to do something wrong. What's scary is not knowing how to repent after doing something wrong. The sea of bitterness knows no bounds, repent and you'll be saved … "
With that said, Fangzheng shook his head and prepared to leave.
At that moment, Meng Changming exclaimed. "Abbot Fangzheng, then … what do we do now? The people in the village don't trust us anymore … From now on, we won't be able to go out. "
Fangzheng said without turning his head, "Karma, karma. Every cause has an effect. It's not too late to mend the pen after the sheep is lost. Benefactor, if your heart is there, your sincerity will be there. Dripping water will wear through a stone. "
As he spoke, Fangzheng had already left.
Meng Changming and Ma Jiangping exchanged looks and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. However, what else could they say at this point in time? Life still had to go on … For some reason, even though he had returned the money, his heart ached. However, the two of them felt as if an invisible mountain had been lifted from their hearts, and they heaved a sigh of relief.
Outside the door, Lame Ma was already waiting for Fangzheng. When he saw Fangzheng come out, he grinned from ear to ear. He chuckled and said, "Abbot Fangzheng, you are the best. Money comes the moment you open your mouth."
Fangzheng smiled faintly, but he was smiling wryly inwardly. Money the moment he opened his mouth? If only there was such a good thing!
"By the way, Master, why did you only ask for ten thousand each time? Wouldn't that save a lot of trouble? "Lame Ma asked curiously.
Fangzheng looked at Lame Ma and gave him a mysterious smile. He said lightly, "Guess …"
Then Fangzheng left.
Lame Ma looked at Fangzheng's back and found him especially mysterious. He thought to himself, "Since Master said that, there must be a deeper meaning behind it. I didn't understand. That's a problem with my comprehension … En, Master is indeed a Master. The way he does things is different from ordinary people. "
With this in mind, Lame Ma touched the money in his pocket and chased after him with a chuckle. "Abbot Fangzheng, I know the reason."
"Oh?" Fangzheng was puzzled. Was this fellow that smart?
"It's because you are an expert! Of course, what you do is different from what we do, "Lame Ma said with a chuckle.
Fangzheng looked up into the sky speechlessly. Expert? He could not help but smile wryly in his heart. Would a lazy person like him say a few more words when it could be resolved with a single sentence? He silently glanced at the introduction regarding Soliciting Donations in his mind.
"Soliciting Donations: Level 1. A necessary skill for monks. Can solicit food and money from others." "Note 1: Level 1. A maximum of 10,000 yuan can be solicited at one time. Can be repeated. Can be leveled up." "Note 2: The money obtained from soliciting donations cannot be used by oneself, but it can be donated to help others. The System will automatically confiscate it if it is not used for a day." "Can be forcefully solicited. The targets can only be evil people with more negative karma than merit!" It is ineffective against good people.
Upon seeing this, Fangzheng shook his head. When he thought of how the money he solicited wasn't his, he felt a sense of desolation. With tears in his eyes, he sang, "We are different. We are different …"
After sending Lame Ma off, Fangzheng returned to the mountaintop alone. The sky, which had already cleared up, turned gloomy again due to the northwest wind. Fangzheng looked up into the sky and shook his head. He mumbled, "There's really a lot of snow this year. However, it's a sign of a bountiful year. It's not bad."
When he returned to the mountaintop, there were two more visitors in the monastery. After they offered incense, they immediately went forward to greet Fangzheng when they saw him return. Following that, they took two pictures together and took pictures everywhere before descending the mountain.
Fangzheng was already accustomed to this.
The day passed uneventfully.
After breakfast, Fangzheng moved a chair and sat on the Bridge of Helplessness. He leisurely lay there and read the scriptures. The sky was gloomy all day, but when a strong wind blew, a hole appeared in the dark clouds. Light tore through the dark clouds and landed on the mountaintop, forming a golden beam of sunlight. It was extremely beautiful.
The Bridge of Helplessness was slightly higher than the water's surface. It was nearly level, and due to the gloomy weather, the reflection was extremely clear. When Fangzheng sat down, it was as though he was sitting above the Heavenly Dragon Pond. There was a Fangzheng above the water's surface, and there was a Fangzheng below the water's surface. Heaven and earth were reversed, appearing symmetrical. However, it was a scene of complete opposites. From afar, it made one feel as though the universe had been flipped upside down. It was impossible to tell which side was the real world.
Another gust of wind blew as the dark clouds in the sky began to split apart. Golden beams of light shone down, making the snow-covered land seem to have a hint of warmth.
Just as Fangzheng was reading the scriptures with relish, he heard a strange creaking sound. It was the sound of feet stepping on the snow. The sound was a little messy. It sounded like there were two people, but it also sounded like there was only one person. However, the rhythm of the sound was different from the rhythm of a person walking.
Fangzheng subconsciously looked up and saw that a distance away, a person was on all fours as though he was kneeling!
When Fangzheng saw this, he subconsciously shot a glance at his monastery. After confirming that it was One Finger Monastery and not the Potala Palace, and after confirming that the person wasn't a simple Tibetan, his mind was immediately filled with question marks. He thought, "When did One Finger Monastery have such charm? There are actually devotees kneeling all the way here?"
However, this thought vanished as soon as it appeared. This was because the person had moved. This movement wasn't by getting up to walk, but by crawling! That's not right. He seemed to be dragging! The person's hind legs couldn't move at all. He was relying on his hands to support himself as he dragged! He had just stopped, most likely because he was tired and needed a short break.
