The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism - Chapter 385

Chapter 385: 385


Only then did Red Boy heave a sigh of relief and stand obediently by the side .

"Jingfa, Jingkuan, Jingzhen, all three of you have rendered great service . Today, you will each be rewarded with a Myriad Language Pill! After consuming it, you will be able to communicate with anyone . In the future it will not be difficult for the three of you to communicate with each other . "

The eyes of the three animals lit up the instant they heard Fangzheng say that! Although they were fellow disciples, they were of different species . None of them knew what the other was saying . There were all sorts of barriers between them . It would have been fine if their relationship was that of strangers occasionally bumping to each other, but they saw each other daily . Furthermore none of their own kind that they could communicate with was present, making communication between them all the more important . Not being able to understand each other felt odd .

Now there was finally a solution . All of them wore looks of happiness .

When Red Boy saw this, he curled his lips and thought to himself, "A bunch of bumpkins . What's there to be happy about for a mere Myriad Language Pill?"

Red Boy had seen all sorts of natural treasures after all . He really thought nothing of the pill . However Lone Wolf, Squirrel, and Monkey were native animals of Earth . They were a little intelligent in the past, but they had not turned sentient . After entering One Finger Monastery, they became sentient, but they could not speak . They could only swallow their own miseries, but now with a pill that allowed them speech, they naturally cherished it greatly .

Fangzheng handed out one pill to each of the three animals . They eagerly threw the pill into their mouths .

"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Squirrel shouted, being the most anxious one .

But beside him, Lone Wolf, Monkey, and Red Boy were calm like elderly meditating monks . None of them said a word or even looked at him .

Squirrel scratched his head and mumbled, "Have the pill's effects not taken effect? Let me wait a little longer…"

Lone Wolf, Monkey, Red Boy, and Fangzheng exchanged looks as they held back their laughter, feigning ignorance .

After a while, Squirrel asked again, "Can you guys understand me?"

All he received in return was baffled looks and shaking heads .

Squirrel's tiny face scrunched up, and he looked wryly at Fangzheng . "Master, they don't understand what I'm saying . Has this pill expired?"

Fangzheng held back his laughter as he patted Squirrel on the head in all seriousness with a smile . "I can understand . "

Squirrel pointed at Lone Wolf and Monkey . "But they can't . Boohoo! My pill has expired . Wahhh! Master, I want another one . "

The tiny ball of fur began pulling a tantrum as he rolled around on the floor begging .

Fangzheng failed to hold back his laughter as he patted Squirrel on the head . "One should not be greedy . Perhaps the pills medicinal effects haven't dissolved . Wait a little while… Oh, the rice is almost done . I'll get some . "


With that said, Fangzheng got up and walked to the backyard . Simultaneously he said, "Jingxin, you have protected the mountain and did a great job by summoning rain . However you are a demon king, and you probably have no lack of treasures . I won't be rewarding you with something physical . How about bringing you with me next time?"

Red Boy did not think too much about the rewards to begin with . He was happy as long as there was a reward so that he wouldn't lose to others! Therefore he was happy to accept . "Alright, Master!" As he replied, Red Boy followed behind Fangzheng .



Squirrel lay on the floor after Red Boy left . He continued asking, "Senior Brother, Junior Brother, do you really not understand me?"

Lone Wolf and Monkey exchanged looks and continued feigning ignorance .

Squirrel rolled his eyes and mumbled, "Silly monkey, stupid dog, none of you can understand a thing… Uh? Senior Brother, Junior Brother, why are you looking at me like that?" Squirrel noticed something amiss . Why were the two looking at him so fiercely?

The next moment, Fangzheng heard Squirrel's tragic cries outside . As he screamed, he yelled, "Master, save me! A squirrel is being kill—! Aiyah, Senior Brother, you are taking things too far!"

"You dare scold us? I'm only punishing you," said Lone Wolf with a malicious smile .

"Uh? You can understand?" Squirrel was taken aback .

"Of course . " Monkey smiled .

"Both of you tricked me! Boohoo! Junior Brother, don't you go too far!" Squirrel screamed .

…

Fangzheng knew that among the animals, Squirrel was treated the best . Everyone spoiled him, so they naturally wouldn't give him a real beating . However, from his tragic cries, the little guy was probably in quite a wretched state .

Fangzheng ignored the commotion . He was craving for a meal . After he opened the lid and scooped the rice and got some bamboo shoots, he dipped it in some sauce and ate by the door .



Moments later, Lone Wolf and Monkey came in .

"Eh? Where's Senior Brother Jingkuan?" Red Boy looked at the two and asked out of curiosity .

Monkey said, "He's not coming in . "

"Why?" Fangzheng was perplexed as well .

Lone Wolf said, "It's not like we can do anything if he refuses to enter . "

"Jingkuan, what are you doing outside? Quickly come in!" Fangzheng shouted when he saw Squirrel's tiny tail fleet across the door .

"I'm not entering! Not over my dead body!" Squirrel protested .

Fangzheng was puzzled . He got up and walked out with Red Boy . When he came out, he saw a black guy squatting by the door . Upon taking a careful look, wasn't this Squirrel!?

Squirrel was slouching his pitiful head, his body entirely covered in what seemed like black ink . His tail had a few leaves and grass hanging off it . By his chest, there was a wolf imprint… This look was truly…

Fangzheng could not help but sigh . "This mouse sure looks unique . "



"Not a mouse, squirrel! Squirrel! Squirrel! Wah… Everyone is bullying me . " Squirrel could not bear it any further as he bawled .

Instantly everyone present laughed . This little guy was just too amusing .

After the meal, Fangzheng gave Squirrel a bath . The Unrooted Clean Aqua was very good for this . By pouring a pail of water over Squirrel, all the ink was gone . After the sun dried his fur, a furry and adorable squirrel appeared once more .

After having his fill, Fangzheng was in no hurry to leave . Instead, he peacefully stayed on the mountain to eat vegetarian and chant .

That night, Red Boy was browsing the Internet on the cell phone . As he was having the time of his life, he received a message .

"Master, our Spring Holidays plan has been called off . The school doesn't allow so many people to go on a trip . They say it's to ensure the safety of the students . Boohoo…" It was Zhao Datong .

Red Boy immediately screamed, "Master, someone named Zhao Datong says that the school doesn't allow him to organize a trip . He can't come . What do you want to say?"

Fangzheng thought about it and said, "Leave it up to fate . We will meet if we are fated . There's no need to force it, so tell him not to take it to heart . "

Red Boy sent the message in its entirety .

Fangzheng was indeed not fazed if Zhao Datong was unable to bring people to the monastery . At present, the monastery's incense offerings were increasing by the day . He did not particularly yearn for more people to come . It would only spell more trouble . It was quite nice keeping to the status quo . He could relax and live his days happily…

When Zhao Datong saw that Fangzheng had no intention to blame him, he heaved a sigh of relief . He looked around and when he saw that no one was looking at him, he sent Fangzheng a question . "Master, I like a girl . I wish to court her . Do you have any advice?"

Red Boy immediately shouted the message out to Fangzheng .
