Chapter 1425: The Use of Salted Fish
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Salted Fish said, “Master, is there really only one way to turn things around in an ordinary family?”
Fangzheng shook his head and said, “All roads lead to Rome. The world is so big, and there are so many opportunities. The road is death, but humans are alive. There will always be a path that suits someone. If there’s really none, one should open a path for themselves. However, the path will be filled with brambles. They will have to put in more effort and undergo more hardship than others…”
Salted Fish listened silently.
Fangzheng finally found a bridge and stayed underneath it for the night.
He had the Mountain Moving Treasure Wheel to protect him. The cold wind outside meant nothing to him, so it didn’t matter where he slept.
However, someone couldn’t accept it…
“Master, are you going to sleep like that? What about me?” Salted Fish lay in the black cloth and shouted.
Fangzheng looked at Salted Fish and thought for a moment. “If you didn’t say a word, I would have nearly forgotten.”
With that said, Fangzheng opened the black cloth bag under Salted Fish’s expectant eyes. Then, he covered himself with the black cloth and said with a smile, “Yes… That way, I’ll have a blanket. It’s much more comfortable.”
Salted Fish stood in the wind as his mind was thrown into chaos. What kind of master was this?
“Master… Have you forgotten me again?” Salted Fish reminded.
Fangzheng looked at Salted Fish and then at himself. When he looked at the black cloth, his eyes lit up. “I really would have forgotten if you didn’t remind me. Now that I have a blanket, I’m still short of a pillow. Sweet disciple, come here.”
With that said, Fangzheng grabbed Salted Fish and pressed him under his head. He sighed and said, “Hey, using you as a pillow in this hot weather is quite comfortable. You’re cold and the height is perfect!”
Salted Fish lay on the ground as his eyes widened in disbelief. Finally, he sighed helplessly and mumbled. “What the…”
Fangzheng pretended not to hear him and closed his eyes before falling asleep.
The night passed just like that. The next day, the sun rose and illuminated the river, sending sunlight under the bridge.
Fangzheng slowly opened his eyes and saw a golden wave in front of him… A river breeze blew over. The fresh air refreshed him. He stretched and pulled Salted Fish out from under his head. He asked out of concern, “My dear disciple, how did you sleep last night? Did you sleep well?”
Salted Fish rolled his eyes and snorted. “Guess?”
“From your expression, you must have slept very well and comfortably. Alright, since that’s the case, let’s set off!” After Fangzheng said that, he ignored Salted Fish, wrapped him up and carried him on his back.
Salted Fish only grumbled when he was stuffed into the black cloth bag. “What kind of master is this? Master, where’s your shame? Are you so thick-skinned?”
Fangzheng washed his face with the river water. “My skin is fine. Yes, I’m still as handsome as ever!”
Salted Fish was completely rendered speechless. “Master, I now believe that sentence.”
Fangzheng asked, “What sentence?”
Salted Fish: “Just like a tree not having bark, a human without shame is invincible! Master, you are already invincible in the world. So, invincible Master, where are we going next?”
Fangzheng pretended not to understand as he cutely picked up a tree branch and threw it into the sky. When the branch fell to the ground, he looked ahead and pointed ahead. “That direction!”
Salted Fish said, “Master, there are two ends to the branch. Why did you choose this one? Is there any explanation or rules?”
“Of course.”
Salted Fish asked in surprise, “Really? What are the rules?”
Fangzheng said in all seriousness, “Of course it depends on my mood!”
Salted Fish: “…”
Fangzheng’s speed wasn’t fast, but he discovered a strange problem. He had discovered this problem last night, but he didn’t think much of it. It was that he didn’t seem tired from walking!
He didn’t feel tired after walking for a day yesterday. He just felt hungry.
When he got up and continued walking today, he didn’t feel any fatigue. Although he had a strong physique, that did not mean that he wouldn’t feel any exhaustion at all.
“System, what’s going on?” Fangzheng was puzzled as he naturally asked the System.
“Ding! I’ve told you long ago that the Mountain Moving Treasure Wheel is a Buddhist treasure wheel, and it only appears behind Bodhisattva. This treasure wheel is extremely mysterious, and there are many mysteries hidden within it. Many of the additional functions have no introduction, but they really exist. The Mountain Moving Treasure Wheel is a subsidiary of the Earth Traveling Wheel. If you obtain the Earth Traveling Wheel, it’s equivalent to controlling the earth. With a flip of your hand, you can flip the land! It’s not difficult to even squeeze the stars in your hands.”
Fangzheng was taken aback when he heard that, but he knew that it required Dharmic powers. To him, it was completely useless. Therefore, Fangzheng said honestly, “System, can we get to the main point?”
The System said, “The most important thing is that when you have your feet on the ground, you will never be tired. When you step on the ground, you will realize that you have great strength!”
Fangzheng was immediately curious when he heard that. When he saw that there was no one around him, he found a huge rock and exerted strength towards his feet! At that instant, he could clearly feel a force rise from the ground into his body. He raised the stone in one try! However, it was not easy to lift it up…
“System, is this my limit?”
The System said, “I told you long ago. Try it yourself and don’t ask me.”
With that said, the System fell silent.
Fangzheng switched to an even bigger one. When he lifted it, he realized that his strength was just enough to raise it. It was a little difficult, but it could be done.
“Man, could it be that the power given to me by the Mountain Moving Treasure Wheel is always just enough?” Fangzheng mumbled inwardly. He was considering if he should continue the experiment, but…
“Rumble…”
“Sigh, although my strength is unlimited, using strength expends food.” Fangzheng shook his head helplessly as he walked out from under the bridge.
Along the way, as they watched the various breakfast shops open the door, hot steam rose from them. People sat inside, eating noodles, rice, and soup buns.
“Master, I protest!” Salted Fish called out first.
“What protest?”
Salted Fish said, “Master, I protest your choice of this path. I strongly request you to take a path without any breakfast stores! I’m dying of hunger just from looking at them…”
Fangzheng nodded. “Objection sustained. Let’s change locations!”
However, today, the big city had taught the duo a lesson. The big city was filled with people, and the people in the big city were all eating breakfast. Therefore… wherever they went, there would be breakfast shops!
“Rumble…”
“Master, let’s go home,” Salted Fish said tearfully.
Fangzheng sighed. It wasn’t easy to leave the mountain. Furthermore, he really didn’t wish to delay the treatment of his disciples’ sickness. That was why he kept holding back his return to the mountain. He needed to gather enough points to have three chances at the draw so that he could exchange for a chance to treat their illnesses. Then, he could exchange for the Heavenly Eye to see what the future was like. Why did the future switch between whiteness and having everything!
“System, I should have three chances at the draw, right?” asked Fangzheng.
