The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism - Chapter 281

Chapter 281: 281


And so sitting under the bodhi tree, Fangzheng was accompanying Red Boy .

Red Boy was taken aback . Fangzheng was making sure that he finished the rock!

But he was helpless against it . He could only bite the bullet and sit opposite Fangzheng . Fangzheng did not speak . All he did was look at the moon while sitting under the bodhi tree .

Red Boy looked up as well, his mind whirling as fast as it could . He pondered for a solution to extricate himself from his predicament .

"Jingxin, are Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit really on the moon?" asked Fangzheng suddenly .

"Yes . "

"Is that so? Have you seen them?"

"No, but I've heard of them . "

"I've heard of them too . Don't stop eating . It will be terrible if you end up starving . "

Red Boy bit down with tears welling in his eyes . Nom . Nom . Nom .

"Jingxin, what's the world you are from like?"

"Tall mountains, wide bodies of water, demons everywhere with deities seen all the time and Buddhas being nothing but dogs . " Red Boy sullied Buddha before realizing he had said it out loud . He saw Fangzheng smiling at him .

Fangzheng said with a smile, "My dear disciple, quick eat . Eat more . "

Red Boy looked at Fangzheng before looking at the rock . He suddenly realized that the bastard knew all along that he had been planning on using the rock to hit him . He was obviously trying to pull a fast one on him!

But so what if he knew? Red Boy did not dare expose Fangzheng's reason . If he did, it would no longer be as simple as eating rocks . Hence, he continued to eat while holding back his tears . He was even forced by Fangzheng to eat another two mouthfuls .

"My dear disciple, apparently you were taken away by Guan Yin Bodhisattva a long time ago . Why hasn't Bodhisattva taught you anything despite all this time?"

"Master, you are overthinking things . Bodhisattva did not bring me back to the South Sea for long, about a thousand years . That is true . But she typically enters meditation for a thousand years . How would she have the time for me?" said Red Boy with his lips curled .



Fangzheng was taken aback . Indeed, mortals would never understand the world of deities . He asked out of curiosity, "What kind of person is Bodhisattva?"

Red Boy immediately turned spirited . His eyes darted around as he said, "He's powerful, tall and muscular . His chest muscles are especially well-developed . He has a full beard and big eyes-"

Fangzheng had a dark cloud over his head when he heard that . He pulled over a boulder used for sitting and placed it down in front of Red Boy with a thud .

Red Boy was taken aback . "Master, what's this for? I already have a seat . "

Fangzheng smiled, "It's nothing . It's just that you have quite an appetite, so that snack will probably not fill you . Here's more food for you . "

Red Boy looked at Fangzheng before looking at the boulder . He coughed dryly, "Master, actually Bodhisattva is a very warm person, as warm as sunshine . Having a very benevolent smile, gentle, dignified, generous, and very genuine, leaving people awed . "

Only then did Fangzheng said with satisfaction, "You spoke well, but you went off-topic . Have a snack . "

Red Boy said with a sobbing tone, "Master, I'm full . Can we slowly eat it tomorrow?"



"Sure, This Penniless Monk will be reciting the scriptures . " Fangzheng casually stood up as he felt the pants by his legs tighten . He looked down and saw Red Boy tugging at them . He said pitifully, "Master, I know I was wrong . I'll definitely not do such acts of transgression again . Please spare me . "

Fangzheng chuckled . He was really prepared to recite the scriptures, but he never expected to gain something out of it . He nodded, "Since you are so sincere, finish the snack in your hand and sleep early . "

Once Red Boy heard that, he lifted the rock and finished it in no time . He munched and wiped his mouth before running off . He finally realized that a head-on battle with Fangzheng only led to misery for him . He had to rethink his plans .

Just as Fangzheng was about to enter the temple hall, he subconsciously took out his cell phone to give it a look . The phone rang coincidentally, and it was still from that child .

Fangzheng thought for a moment before picking it up .

"Hey, is that daddy?" The boy's voice had an anticipating ring to it .

Fangzheng said with a smile, "That's right . "

"Wah! It's really daddy! Mommy, Mommy, Mommy! I got through to daddy's number! Daddy is on the other end of the line! I knew it . Hehe!" The boy's voice was filled with limitless excitement . Fangzheng could sense his joy through the phone . Fangzheng suddenly realized at that instant that the lie was worth it .

"Oh?" a groggy voice sounded . Clearly, the boy's mother had just fallen asleep .



"Mommy, I got through to daddy's number . Daddy, are you still there? I'm so happy! When will you come back? I miss you so much . Mommy says that you are busy catching baddies at work," the boy's mouth rattled on like a machine gun as he said a lot .

Fangzheng also heard some useful information . He replied, "I'm still here . "

"Mommy, Daddy is still on the line . Do you want to talk to him? Forget it! I'm not giving you . I'll chat with Daddy! It's been so long since I chatted with Daddy . " The boy was extremely excited . Then, he hugged the phone and hid under his blanket to continue chatting .

Fangzheng realized that the boy did not need him to say anything . All he needed to do was be a listener, occasionally replying with a terse comment or reply to encourage him, and the boy would be very happy .

At the same time, in a sick ward in Spring City People's Hospital, a haggard woman sat on a wheelchair . She smiled when she saw the smiling boy, but she was a little worried . She chose not to do anything . She sat there, watching the boy excitedly describe things he had described to her countless times . All these years, this was the first time she was seeing him so happy .

Fangzheng gradually gained an understanding of the child through his words . The child was sick and hospitalized . He had gotten his mother to give him his father's number by threatening not to eat his medicine . Later on, he would steal her cell phone to make a call whenever she wasn't paying attention . Unfortunately, Fangzheng never acknowledged him, disappointing the little guy .

He clearly held no grudges . He never asked about Fangzheng's denial . He was clearly very excited, telling Fangzheng stories of his family and the people beside him .

"Daddy, let me ask you . We haven't spoken on the phone for three years . Don't you miss me? Also, many policemen came to my house three years ago . I don't know why, but Mommy was crying very sadly that day . Later on, Mommy's legs stopped working . I have no idea why either," said the boy .

Fangzheng was taken aback . Many policemen went to their house? His mother was sad? Her legs were invalid? Was this a child of a criminal? Was his father captured? Was his mother paralyzed due to her anger?

The child continued, "Daddy, where are you? I miss you . I don't want to eat cabbage all day . I want to eat meat . "
