Fangzheng rubbed his nose. The last bit of anger he had from posturing was instantly drained. He knew his family well. His influence was limited to Songwu County. If he were to announce that he was going to talk about Buddhist scriptures, he might attract a group of people. However, if he were to talk about medicine, there probably wouldn't be many people.
Besides, he wasn't doing any publicity himself. All he did was get Song Yuhe to do it. It was still a question if the fellow would do it. As for why he sought Song Yuhe, it was because Fangzheng wanted to use Song Yuhe's influence in the TCM world to find more people.
Upon thinking of Song Yuhe, Fangzheng thought that the fellow was after all one of the three medical sages of TCM. Since he had revealed his divine powers, he should at least talk about it, right? With his influence, it was likely that quite a number of people would come.
Hence, Fangzheng said, "There should be quite a number of people, right?"
"Uh, Master, it's not that there are quite a number of people, but that there are very few people!" As they spoke, the few of them arrived at the mountainside. Red Boy's eyes were sharp, and he instantly saw the situation at One Finger Spring. He saw that there were only two people on the empty platform!
Upon seeing this scene, Fangzheng's face immediately turned red. This smack in the face had come too quickly. If he had known that this would happen, he would have taken a closer look before bragging … He regretted it, but it was too late.
Lone Wolf, Squirrel, Monkey, and company immediately laughed out loud. Seeing Fangzheng suffer a setback was a good thing for people like them who were always being squeezed dry.
"Master, there are only two people in the audience. Are you still going to talk about it?" asked Squirrel.
Monkey said, "Master, since no one is listening, why don't we not talk about it? Why don't we talk about it when there are more people? "
Lone Wolf said, "At times like this, you should be like a man. Raise your head proudly, smack his ass, and turn to leave."
Red Boy didn't say a word as he saw Fangzheng smack them from left to right, causing them to grimace in pain. Only then did Fangzheng say, "Don't speak. Follow me. I have my plans."
The mountainside of Mt. One Finger wasn't considered wide. There was a spring there, and it was also the main source of water for Mt. One Finger — One Finger Spring. The spring water gushed out, turning into a tiny stream that flowed down Mt. One Finger, forming a tiny waterfall. However, in the eyes of many people, this waterfall was not considered a waterfall.
This small stream divided the empty space into two. Both sides of the platform were fan-shaped empty spaces, each of which could seat a dozen or so people. In other words, this platform could only seat 40 people at most. Any more and they would have to sit on the mountain roads. Furthermore, there was Frost Bamboo growing in the surroundings, forming a natural barrier. Sitting on the mountain path, one could not see anything.
At this moment, there were two people sitting on the platform.
The two of them were dressed very tightly. They both wore down jackets and hats. They also wore face masks and hand warmers. Clearly, they came prepared knowing that Mt. One Finger was cold.
The person sitting on the left had a pair of eyes that were filled with curiosity and desire. This person was Xi Liang, who had been the first to ascend the mountain. He had come up the mountain two days ago, but many things had happened back then. He had lost his confidence in Fang Zheng, so he had followed him down the mountain. But after he left the mountain, he faced a problem. He had no job and no source of income!
It was not easy to get into a hospital in China, and he was not willing to do anything else. Just as he was feeling lost, he saw Fangzheng's livestream while he was browsing the computer. The moment he saw it, the fire in his heart burned once again. Once again, he had the thought of going up the mountain to verify Fangzheng's medical skills.
Coincidentally, Song Yuhe came as well. Xi Liang recognized Song Yuhe at a glance. His present situation wasn't much better than Song Yuhe's. He felt like they were in the same predicament. Since there were no outsiders around, he thickened his skin and went over. Song Yuhe wasn't an arrogant person who ignored others. The two chatted for a while and realized that Xi Liang still held hope for Mt. One Finger. Therefore, he told him about Fangzheng's preaching. When Xi Liang heard that, he immediately decided to go. Song Yuhe was worried that no one would go with him. Otherwise, he would feel a little apprehensive going up the mountain alone.
Therefore, the two hit it off and came to Mt. One Finger before daybreak.
As they looked into the distance at the white-robed Fangzheng, their gazes turned a little complicated. It could be said that their futures were pinned on the monk. Song Yuhe had even bet the fate of all of China's TCM on the monk. Naturally, they paid close attention to him.
However, what left the two a little dumbfounded was that Fangzheng did come, but he didn't seem to see them. He walked straight into the tiny pond spewed out by the One Finger Spring. Then, the two were instantly dumbfounded!
They saw Fangzheng walk in midair and on the water's surface! Like an immortal Buddha, every step he took produced ripples on the calm water's surface. These ripples were like raging waves in their minds, sweeping through the firmament in their minds! The two were instantly stunned in their spots. There was only one thought in their minds — Is he human? Buddha? Or a ghost?
The water in the tiny pond was too clear and shallow. At a depth of half a meter, everything beneath could be seen at a glance. The two even drank two mouthfuls of water after arriving. They had long seen if there was anything fishy about the tiny pond. There was nothing fishy, but he was walking on the water. The two exchanged looks and saw the shock in each other's eyes!
At that moment, Fangzheng walked straight to the middle of the tiny pond. He pressed his palms together and stood there with his eyes closed. He didn't say a word.
At that moment, Red Boy jumped onto the water's surface and similarly walked on the waves. He came to Fangzheng's side and stood respectfully behind him like a child.
Monkey stood outside the pond in monk robes while Squirrel sat by the side. Lone Wolf was like a guardian god, his mighty body sprawled behind Fangzheng, turning into a part of the background. The only thing that spoiled the mood was that at some point in time, there was a salted fish lying on the ground …
The two believed that Fangzheng was about to begin. With the experience of walking on the waves, the two no longer dared to treat Fangzheng as an ordinary person. The anticipation in their hearts instantly reached a peak.
However, ten minutes passed with Fangzheng remaining silent.
Twenty minutes passed with Fangzheng still remaining silent.
Half an hour passed with their feet nearly frozen solid, but Fangzheng remained silent. This left the two feeling terrible. After waiting for a while, Fangzheng didn't say a word or move. The two naturally found it embarrassing to move, so all they could do was wait.
