The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Madam Li said, “At present, you’re in Italy. Our government can’t interfere with the affairs of another country, so it’s impossible for us to help you.” The policeman’s eyes flashed with satisfaction when he heard that.

Madam Li continued. “Similarly, what you do in Italy has nothing to do with our country. China will not have any requests for or control over you for any reason. We can say, however, that for whatever you do, China will be willing to bear the consequences for you.”

The policeman was baffled. The darn baldy had been arrested and was inside solitary confinement every day. What consequences could there be? Was this Chinese woman silly?

Fangzheng smiled. He understood what China meant. In common parlance, it meant: “F**king go loose. Even if the sky falls, the country will hold it up!”

Of course, this wasn’t to let Fangzheng do whatever he wanted, no matter how illegal it was. It was just that China believed that he wouldn’t go overboard.

Since his country trusted him so much, what else could Fangzheng say? He chuckled and felt his worries disappear instantly. He felt relaxed and had a radiant smile on his face.

Fangzheng smiled. “This Penniless Monk understands. Thank you, Patron. However, This Penniless Monk believes that being in Italy, one should abide by the laws of the country. Therefore, This Penniless Monk shall wait and see how long the Italian government can keep This Penniless Monk in custody.”

The policeman pursed his lips. He really wanted to say: “Until your death!”

Madam Li smiled and said, “That’s your choice, Master. We won’t interfere. I’ve said what needed to be said. I’ll take my leave and won’t disturb you any further.”

“Amitabha. Patron, take care.” Fangzheng pressed his palms together.

Madam Li smiled and nodded before turning to leave.

Fangzheng obediently followed the policeman back to solitary confinement. Clearly, the local police didn’t plan on moving him to a slightly bigger place…

Fangzheng knew very well that someone was trying to take him down a notch. There would still be more obstacles awaiting him in the future.

However, Fangzheng wasn’t in a rush. Instead, he sat in the tiny dark room and silently took out his kasaya. When he was captured, Fangzheng used A Golden Millet Dream to hide the bag that contained the green kasaya. Although the kasaya was a little ugly, its use was irreplaceable.

After putting on the kasaya, Fangzheng mumbled inwardly. “System, does This Penniless Monk have a draw left?”

“Ding! Yes, shall we begin the draw now?”

Fangzheng nodded and said, “Yes, let’s begin the draw. Amitabha. Old Dad One Finger, please bless me. I hope I can get something good!”

The moment Fangzheng thought of this, he heard the System say, “Ding! Congratulations on obtaining an Annoyance Doll!”

Fangzheng was taken aback. Annoyance Doll? What was that?

“Do you accept it?” asked the System.

As the System’s products were always of fine quality, Fangzheng immediately nodded in agreement.

The next moment, a blob of Buddhist light appeared in front of Fangzheng. There was a wooden doll figurine in the Buddhist light. Fangzheng held it in his hand and carefully observed it. He realized that the doll was a simple wooden doll without a face. If it were placed on sale, it would cost at most one yuan! Furthermore, Fangzheng wouldn’t even give it a second glance!

However, this thing in front of him was different. The system’s product couldn’t just be a doll.

Fangzheng immediately checked the details of the doll.

“Annoyance Doll: Not a product of Mount Numinous. It was personally crafted by the Jinx Deity in the Heavenly Court. This doll was carved from Nine Heavens Mystic Spirit Wood. It’s invulnerable and impenetrable, but more importantly, it’s intelligent! Its entire body is shrouded in the aura of a jinx, filled with bad luck. However, neither the doll nor its owner will be plagued with bad luck. On the contrary, people who are close to them will be unlucky! In addition, the owner can write their name on its body and throw it on the ground, saying, ‘Baby, get up.’

That way, the Annoyance Doll will transform into them and act autonomously.

It is very intelligent, very intelligent, very intelligent. This important notice needs repeating!”

Fangzheng’s eyes lit up when he saw this. Following that, he smiled sinisterly. “System Bro, thank you!”

If it were any other time, this Annoyance Doll might be good at screwing over people, but it wouldn’t be of much use. After all, there were not many people who provoked Fangzheng. Fangzheng could deal with his few disciples himself, so there was no need for him to use such a lethal weapon.

But now, this doll was definitely a rare treasure!

With this in mind, Fangzheng immediately wrote the word “Fangzheng” on the doll. He then threw it on the ground and saw the doll splat to the ground like a pile of mud! Despite having a wooden body, it felt like an eraser when it fell to the ground. It was extremely strange.

Fangzheng ignored that and continued. “Baby, get up!”

The next moment, the soft and limp wooden doll on the floor moved. As though it was not satiated, it stood up and sized up Fangzheng and yawned. Then, it made a strange gesture and pulled at its big head with one hand while pulling its leg with the other. Then, it yanked hard!

In this bizarre manner, it managed to extend itself to reach the height of a person!

Then, the doll grabbed Fangzheng’s shoulder. Before Fangzheng could react, it leaned its head back and slammed it into Fangzheng’s face!

Fangzheng jumped in fright and thought to himself, “Has this doll gone mad? Or does it think it’s better to just die being transformed into someone without hair? Therefore, it plans on slamming its head into This Penniless Monk’s face to seek liberation?”

Just as this thought came to his mind, Fangzheng felt a chill across his face. The doll’s face was like a jelly, exuding an icy coldness when it made contact. When it pulled away its face, it was as though the doll had removed a facial membrane. Following that, Fangzheng saw that the puppet’s smooth face had additional facial features!

The color of the wood faded and turned into a fleshy tone. The doll’s body changed. Even Fangzheng’s White Lunar Monk Robe appeared! A few seconds later, a living Fangzheng stood in front of him.

Fangzheng carefully observed the doll. It was actually identical to him!

The doll didn’t move either and just stood there as if it wouldn’t move.

Fangzheng pinched the doll’s face. It had the same stretch to it as normal skin. When he pulled open its mouth and looked again, there were teeth and a tongue.

With a thought from Fangzheng, the doll in front of him seemed to be bestowed with a soul. Its eyes moved slightly as it blinked, grinning at Fangzheng. “Master, who’s the unlucky target?”

The moment Fangzheng heard that, a dark cloud hung over his head. As expected of a jinx. The moment it spoke, there were the inklings of a jinx.

Fangzheng said, “Stay here and take over This Penniless Monk’s place. No matter who comes, give them hell!”

“Alright!” The doll clapped happily before looking at Fangzheng in a daze. “Why aren’t you leaving?”

Fangzheng was taken aback. Leave? Where to?

The doll said, “If you don’t leave, where am I going to sit? Don’t you feel claustrophobic in this tiny space?”
