Chapter 1373: Three Lives Zen Staff
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fangzheng knew very well that the woman was speaking ill of Fangzheng and Red Boy to Nu Nu’s father. Clearly, she was complaining. However, the woman wasn’t dumb either. She had also said how powerful Red Boy was. She was probably afraid that her child would end up being beaten.
The surrounding audience began to whisper amongst themselves.
“Man, Nu Nu’s father is so strong. If he gets angry, he will definitely be fierce.”
“I feel like the monk is in danger.”
“Not necessarily. This monk isn’t an ordinary person. He’s a godly person like Abbot Fangzheng. If not, who would be able to throw someone to such a high height? Such a person can’t be evaluated based on size. Let’s watch the good show…”
“Nu Nu’s father Nu is approaching! Are they going to start fighting?”
…
Everyone looked over. Indeed, Nu Nu’s father brought his son to Fangzheng and Red Boy!
Fangzheng wasn’t afraid. He chuckled as he looked at Nu Nu’s father and pressed his palms together. “Amitabha. Patron, is there something?”
Nu Nu’s father nodded and said, “Hi there Master. Master, was it your disciple who threw my son into the sky just now?”
Red Boy looked up and said, “It’s me. What’s wrong?”
“I feel like the situation is escalating! It’s gonna blow!”
“I feel like Nu Nu’s father is about to fly…”
“Perhaps he can fly higher.”
…
Just as everyone thought that Nu Nu’s father was going to take revenge, they heard him laugh and say, “Well thrown! I long wanted to beat this prodigal son of mine! If it wasn’t for his grandma protecting him and shouting that she would beat me if I hit her grandson, this child wouldn’t be so mischievous.
“This is the first time I’m seeing this prodigal child so obedient and well-behaved. You guys did well! Do you have anything on tonight? Why don’t you come to our house for dinner?”
Upon hearing this, everyone who was watching the commotion was rendered speechless. They cursed inwardly, “What the f**k! Is this your biological son? Don’t tell me it’s the son of Old Wang from next door? He’s so happy even after his son has been taught a lesson.”
When Nu Nu’s grandmother heard this, she blushed.
Fangzheng said with a smile, “Patron, there’s no need to thank us. There’s no need for the meal. This Penniless Monk still has matters to attend to, so This Penniless Monk won’t disturb you any further. You have to discipline the child. Don’t kill their childhood, but you must make them know what’s right and wrong.”
Nu Nu’s father nodded repeatedly. “Master, you’re right. I’ll wait until his grandmother isn’t around before taking action. F**k, why am I so excited when I say I’m going to hit my son? I can’t wait any longer, hehe…”
Upon hearing that, Fangzheng was rendered speechless. He also began to suspect if Nu Nu was really his son…
When Nu Nu’s grandmother heard this, she wanted to say something in anger, but she ultimately gave up and sighed. “As long as you don’t beat him up too badly.”
Nu Nu’s father laughed out loud. “This is my own son. How can I bear to injure him!?”
However, looking at his excited expression, everyone seriously suspected that the child wasn’t his real son…
Since the matter had been resolved, Fangzheng pressed his palms together and bade everyone farewell.
When Fangzheng turned and left with Red Boy, everyone looked at Fangzheng’s white monk robe. Someone suddenly shouted, “Do you think that this back view resembles Abbot Fangzheng and Venerable Jingxin?”
“Divine power, one adult and one child… It’s really possible!”
“Every time Master goes out, no one can recognize him. He must be disguised!”
“It could also be a divine power.”
“Abbot Fangzheng!” Someone shouted.
Fangzheng stood far away and waved his hand without turning back. Then, he patted Red Boy on the head and the two quickly left.
“It’s really Abbot Fangzheng! Haha, I knew it!”
Everyone appeared excited, but Nu Nu’s father and grandmother were taken aback. Nu Nu’s grandmother’s face flushed red when she recalled what she had said to Fangzheng previously. Nu Nu’s father was especially smug. “Mom, look. Even Abbot Fangzheng is supportive of me discipling this kid. Don’t bother about me in the future. Haha…”
Regardless of the happy family behind him, Fangzheng led Red Boy back to One Finger Monastery. At the same time, he was also wondering how he should proceed in the future.
The world wasn’t considered big, and there weren’t too many people. However, ten billion merit was too difficult to earn.
To just take one step at a time alone?
Furthermore, the more he experienced, the more Fangzheng felt that relying on one person to do good was no way to resolve all the problems! Even if he had divine powers, it was useless!
He really wanted to help the people who needed help in the world. He needed more Fangzhengs!
“Master, this isn’t realistic. You don’t preach, nor do you accept outsiders as your disciples. How can there be so many people who will do good?” Red Boy said.
Fangzheng shook his head. “Humans are born kind to begin with. Religion is only a psychological hint. It’s to make them pay attention to their own words and actions as constant reminders for themselves. The reason why I don’t preach is that the world should be formed by all kinds of people and not a uniform slate of believers. After all, there are still too few people who can understand themselves in cultivation and see their true inner selves.
“Most people would get lost easily and end up wearing the same face. Such kindness is meaningless.”
Red Boy said, “Master, what you said is too complicated. Just say what you want to do!”
Fangzheng shook his head. “I don’t know either. Let’s take things one step at a time.”
“Let me remind you, you can draw now.”
After returning to the monastery, Fangzheng entered the meditation room. He put on a green kasaya and sat cross-legged on the bed. “System Bro, draw!”
“Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the Three Lives Zen Staff!”
Fangzheng thought nothing of it, but the next moment, he jumped up and shouted, “What?”
“Three Lives Zen Staff,” said the System.
Fangzheng immediately laughed out loud when he heard that. As an abbot of a monastery, to not have a pewter staff meant imperfection. Now that he had a kasaya, a pewter staff, and Buddha Beads…
Putting aside all the Buddhist Dharma artifacts he was wearing, at least from the outside, he was already fully equipped.
Fangzheng immediately checked the functions of the Three Lives Zen Staff.
Three Lives Zen Staff: Looking at three lives in a pause; it’s extremely useful.
The introduction was simple but it left Fangzheng confused. He had no idea what the Three Lives Zen Staff was for.
“System Bro, can you explain for me?” asked Fangzheng.
The System said languidly, “This pewter staff can be used three times. Each use gives a divine power.”
Fangzheng still didn’t understand. “What do you mean a divine power? Also, I’ve done so much, and got double the reward, but all you gave me is a pewter staff that can only be used three times?”
“That’s all I can say. As for whether you want it or not, that’s your business. If you don’t want it, you can throw it away. I can take it back for free. As for the functions, won’t you know by trying it out yourself?” said the System shamelessly.
Fangzheng rolled his eyes when he heard that. “Try it out? This Penniless Monk can only use it three times in total. Let This Penniless Monk try? This Penniless Monk can’t afford to give it a try!”
The System said, “I can’t afford it either. In fact, no one has used it before, so it’s useless for you to ask me. Do you want to accept it now?”
