Chapter 216
Fangzheng was stunned when he heard that . He did not dare make any claims about his monastery but he was certain that it was efficacious when it came to children . How could it not work?
Fangzheng had some impression of Huang Lanlan . After all, most of the people that came to the monastery to offer incense were from the surrounding villages . He also played in the villages when he was young . Huang Lanlan was no stranger to him and he knew her name . Back then, Huang Lanlan had come in a rush . She picked up a high incense and placed two hundred yuan . She left after kowtowing . Back then, Fangzheng thought that she had something important . But from the looks of it, that was likely her character .
"System, what's up with that?" asked Fangzheng .
However, the System completely ignored him .
Fangzheng knitted his brows rightly as he looked at Huang Lanlan and her fierce look . The people standing behind her were the same . All of them had eyes like ravenous wolves . If not for Lone Wolf, these people might have already taken action to smash the monastery . Fangzheng pressed his palms together . "Amitabha . This Penniless Monk never said it accedes to any request . This Penniless Monk said that efficacy depends on sincerity . "
"Sincerity? Was I not sincere enough? I offered the best incense . What else do you want? What gives the ordinary incense offerers the right to become pregnant but not me? If you don't give me a proper explanation, I'm warning you, don't even think of running this monastery of yours . I will stand guard by your door and see if anyone still dares enter to offer incense!" shouted Huang Lanlan .
The other four echoed in support . They threatened together, "If you do not give us a good explanation today, no one is entering your monastery today!"
Fangzheng shook his head . "Whether one is sincere or not has nothing to do with the incense that is offered . Instead, the sincerity in your heart is what truly matters . "
"I'm already in my forties and still do not have a child . Are you saying I'm not sincere? If I'm not sincere, why would I come to your crappy temple?" Huang Lanlan's eyes were burning in rage as she roared .
Fangzheng was feeling depressed as well . If she had not been sincere, she would not have come to cause a stir . From the looks of it, that was not the problem . He suddenly thought of something and activated his Wisdom Eye!
Fangzheng was given a fright . He saw black gases lingering around Huang Lanlan . This was a result of negative karma plaguing her . This woman must have done something grossly immoral! Which Buddha would bless and give a child to a person with negative karma that resembled a devil's?
Fangzheng knew that bearing children in the world was not necessarily determined by the gods . Therefore, not being able to conceive did not necessarily mean retribution . But if one did evil and showed no signs of repentance, nor use merit to make up for the negative karma, it would be useless no matter how much they prayed to higher powers .
Fangzheng's face turned cold . "Patron, look at the sky . "
Huang Lanlan looked up and asked perplexed, "What's wrong with the sky?"
"Whatever Man does, the Heaven watches . If the punishment is not forthcoming, it is because the time has not yet come . Amitabha . . . Patrons, if you wish to wait outside the monastery, feel free to do so . "
Fangzheng closed the door to One Finger Monastery . He could not be bothered with them . Good begets good . How could the world bestow evil with good?
Creak .
The five people at the door were dumbstruck when the door closed .
Huang Lanlan roared in anger, "Darn Bald Donkey! How dare you! I'm not leaving today . I'll block your entrance and see what you can do about that!" Huang Lanlan was truly infuriated . According to what she knew, every villager in the region had conceived when they prayed for children . Only she did not conceive . Although she did not know what others said of her, she had a nagging feeling that people were always wagging their tongues at her behind her back .
She was unaware that it was her conscience eating at her . Something she had done years ago had been completely buried deep in her memories . In her panic, she had nowhere to vent her anger which in turn brought her to Fangzheng . She never expected Fangzheng to suddenly say something that only she could understand . Her final bit of shame ignited turning into anger .
