The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism - Chapter 393

Chapter 393: 393


Red Boy feigned sleeping by shutting his eyes the moment he heard Fangzheng .

Fangzheng was helpless against this . It was not easy to teach a brat like him .

Instead, it was Ouyang Fenghua who seemed to enjoy the teachings as she nodded incessantly . "Master, you are absolutely right . "

…

Nothing unpleasant happened during the remainder of the journey . Soon they arrived at Tanzhong City . When they disembarked the train, they could see the Changbai mountain range sprawling across the horizon like a black dragon in the distance . The high-speed rail station was a certain distance away from the city center, but thankfully there was a bus at the entrance . However it was no longer early, and Ouyang Fenghua was clearly exhausted . "Master, since the Dharma Assembly is the day after tomorrow, let's find a place to rest . I feel like I'll die from sitting . "

Fangzheng was not particular about it . He was fine with anything as long as he didn't need to pay! He nodded . "Amitabha . As you wish, Patron . "

Thrilled, Ouyang Fenghua immediately found a bus, and they headed for the city .

More than ten minutes later, Fangzheng looked up at the towering building that was more than ten floors high . He rubbed his nose and thought to himself, "This is probably the most enjoyable moment for This Penniless Monk . "

At that moment, a couple walked out of the building while dragging suitcases . They looked to be in a hurry, but when they passed by Fangzheng, Ouyang Fenghua, and Red Boy, they turned their heads to look at them strangely .

The woman said under her breath, "Seriously, things ain't as they used to be . To think a monk is openly walking with his wife and child . Sigh… The child already looks quite old . How young were they when they had him?"

"It's quite ridiculous . A monk marrying a wife, and a very pretty one at that…"

A black cloud hung over Fangzheng's head instantly . What the heck? Could the imaginations of ordinary commoners not be that rich, please?

Thankfully Ouyang Fenghua dhad not heard them . Instead, she was rummaging for her identity card before waving her hand . "Master, Jingxin, let's go!"

Fangzheng and Red Boy quickly followed Ouyang Fenghua into the hotel .

"Madam, how many- Uh…" The counter staff looked up and saw Ouyang Fenghua . Just as he was about to ask, he was stunned rooted to the spot as he looked at the odd group in front of him . His mind went blank momentarily . A family? Wasn't the girl too young? Was it not a family? But for a man and woman to travel with a child… The main problem was… This monk was getting a room with the girl in a hotel? F**k, what the heck was happening? Instantly, the front counter turned into chaos . "



"Three people . Two rooms," said Ouyang Fenghua with a blushing face . This was the first time she was coming to a hotel with a member of the opposite sex in her life . She never imagined that her first would be with a monk! She could also guess the reason for the counter staff's reaction . She felt even more embarrassed and upset . Although a clear conscience wasn't afraid of false accusations, she still felt strange being stared at with such odd looks . Therefore she deliberately emphasized the three and two to avoid any misunderstandings .


Fangzheng was similarly feeling uncomfortable about it as he looked up at the ceiling while he chanted the Clear Minded Chant . It was not because he had some nefarious thoughts, but he found it very embarrassing! Meanwhile he was thinking to himself, "My cultivation of mind and body is still insufficient . If it were Old Dad One Finger, he would probably treat whatever others said as air . " Fangzheng's heart calmed down when he thought of Zen Master One Finger .

Instead it was Red Boy who did not know any embarrassment . He looked around in curiosity .

The staff was momentarily taken aback before coming to his senses . Upon hearing that there were two rooms, he heaved a sigh of relief, but…

"Sorry, we only have one room left . " The staff looked at Ouyang Fenghua and Fangzheng helplessly .

Fangzheng and Ouyang Fenghua were dumbfounded .

"One room? There aren't any other spare rooms?" asked Ouyang Fenghua .



The staff shook his head and smiled wryly . "All of you must be here for the Dharma Assembly the day after tomorrow, right? At the moment, the entire Tanzhong City is filled with people attending the Dharma Assembly . To be honest, it's already pretty good to even have one spare room . You can check with the other hotels if you are doubtful . They should be out of rooms as well . Typically, most of the rooms are reserved a week in advance . This room we have was just canceled by someone . "

Fangzheng and Ouyang Fenghua recalled the couple that had rushed off moments earlier .

"Master, what do we do?" Ouyang Fenghua sought his help .

Fangzheng smiled wryly . "Get it . This Penniless Monk saw that there are sofas in the lobby . Sleeping on the sofa for a night would do, right?"

"How can I let you do that? We agreed for you to bring me to the Dharma Assembly, while I would pay for food and lodging . How can you sleep in the lobby while I sleep in the room? That won't do . Why don't I sleep in the lobby while you sleep in the room?" Ouyang Fenghua shook her head immediately . To others, Fangzheng was only a monk, but in her eyes, he was a master calligrapher who had trashed her father! Such a person was extremely esteemed, so how could he sleep in the lobby? If her father were to catch wind of it, she would likely get a beating .

Just as the two were arguing over who should take the room, the staff said with a bitter smile . "Sir, Madam, there's no need to argue further . The last room has been reserved online . "

Fangzheng and Ouyang Fenghua were completely dumbfounded . What could they do? Sleep on the street?



"I don't believe it . Not a single room?" Ouyang Fenghua fished out her cell phone and sat in the lobby to search for vacancies . However all she saw were 'sold-out' labels on every hotel listing . Then she looked miserably at Fangzheng . "Master, why did you argue with me? At the very least, we could have had one room . "

Fangzheng also felt helpless . Could he be blamed for this? If he were to sleep in the room, ignoring the uncertainty of receiving Buddha's forgiveness, he would definitely not be doing something . He was a man after all . How could he let a girl sleep on a sofa in the hotel's lobby?

The two looked each other in the eye before letting out a long sigh as they planned to head out .

At the same time, there were two men sauntering towards the hotel . They had fat ears, making them resemble monks . As they walked, one of the monks whispered, "Brother, take a whiff . Can you smell the alcohol in my mouth?"

"It's gone . It's gone . Brother, you lack guts . Just those old fools in our monastery have turned into fools from chanting scriptures all day . As long as we do not drink in front of them, they won't know sh*t!" said the other monk without any concern .

"What do you mean I lack guts? Zhiyun, I'm telling you that I'm what's called being meticulous! For us brothers to last until today was not easy . Countless people covet my position . Being careful and meticulous can't be faulted," said the taller monk .

"Brother, there aren't any outsiders here . Can you not call me by my Dharma name? Hearing it makes me feel like a real monk… If I had to say something, when are we going to renounce asceticism?" Zhiyun said unsatisfied .

"Renounce asceticism? Why renounce? Are you lacking in food to eat or clothes to wear? Or are you lacking in women? Also, call me by my Dharma name . There's nothing wrong with being careful," said the taller monk .

"No, Brother… Sigh, Master Zhineng! Are you happy now? I know it's nice being a monk . Food and drink aren't a problem, but… I'm already sick of the women at the foot of our mountain . It was not easy for us to go elsewhere . Yet, you don't let me patronize them . I'm dying from blue balls, man!" grumbled Zhiyun .
