Then, he hung up…
The American diplomat nearly cried when he heard that. What was this? He was only following orders from his superiors. Now, he had been thrown under the bus? How was he to seek redress?
However, there was no way he could seek redress. He shamelessly smiled and said, “I think your previous suggestion is not bad… How about we do it as you say?”
The other diplomats from the other ally countries echoed…
What a joke. It could be said that they were afraid of Fangzheng previously, but they had always believed that they still had nuclear bombs to rely on. It ensured that Fangzheng wouldn’t dare do anything. But now, they had completely given up.
Not only was Fangzheng a walking nuclear bomb, but a nuclear bomb that couldn’t be killed. To go against such a person and a country with such a person? That was simply tempting fate!
Fortunately, this person and this country were very open-minded. They did not think of hegemony and only wanted win-win harmony. Otherwise… The thought of the consequences covered their foreheads in cold sweat.
At the same time, a cheer could be heard from somewhere in Beijing.
“Haha… Fangzheng actually did such a huge thing without saying a word. He didn’t even die at the nuclear epicenter. Haha… This time, some people nearly peed their pants.”
“He’s a lucky star! Fangzheng is really a lucky star for China. From now on, we can finally develop in peace. The world would also develop in a stable manner. Humans should be united to begin with and not be in conflict. Our goal can finally be turned towards the cosmos—the sea of stars!”
“Haha… We should give him an award.”
“An award? I’m afraid he won’t think much of it.”
“Give him money.”
“He stands aloof from the world. How can he be interested in money?”
“That’s true. Why don’t we just give an award?”
“Can you find him?”
“Uh… then let’s just broadcast it across the country. An Honorary Aware, without any commendation certificate. It will be recorded in the annals of history. We can give him a compliment, alright?”
“Agreed!”
“Aye!”
…
Following that, the Chinese news began flooding with news of the country presenting Fangzheng an award, the China Peace Prize and a Hero Award!
At the same time, the news of Fangzheng walking out of the nuclear explosion swept across China and the entire world. Following the video released by America, everyone in the world was stunned…
Some cheered while others lamented. However, no one could change the fact that no one in this world could do a thing to this monk.
However, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. This was because the monk looked really harmless and lacked ambition.
And at that moment, Fangzheng had already slowly walked out of the nuclear blast center. Then, he grinned at the nervous American Army soldiers in front of him. He smiled radiantly, pressed his palms together, turned around, and soared into the sky.
He left behind the American army who stood in the wind, flabbergasted.
“Master, I still don’t understand why you did this. You are basically exposing yourself. Aren’t you afraid of trouble?” Red Boy asked in puzzlement.
Fangzheng smiled. “That’s right. I’m afraid of trouble. However, there’s still some trouble that needs to be resolved. This time, I’ve been in the limelight. After challenging the extreme power of humanity—the nuclear bomb—no one will use me as a talking point. In the past, humans used nuclear weapons as the final regulator. In the future, I’ll be the final regulator.
“As long as they can’t surpass me, they can only stare helplessly and not do anything rash. Similarly, they will not dare to find trouble with me…”
“But there should be more trivial problems, right?” said Red Boy.
Fangzheng smiled. “That’s something that can’t be helped. There are pros and cons?”
As they spoke, the two descended from the sky and landed on Mt. One Finger.
Just as the cloud descended, Fangzheng realized that Mt. One Finger seemed different. There was an unfamiliar figure on Mt. One Finger!
The person knelt in front of One Finger Monastery without moving.
In front of her was a kneeling salted fish as the two others stared, unsure of what was happening.
Red Boy said, “Master, Fifth Junior Brother has used his ultimate move again. If he can’t resolve it, he will cry and kneel together with them…”
Fangzheng nodded slightly and walked over. He saw the person’s appearance clearly. It was a woman who wasn’t too old. Her face was covered in dust and her clothes were tattered. Clearly, she had gone through much hardship to find this mountain.
Fangzheng pressed his palms together and asked, “Amitabha. Patron, why are you looking for This Penniless Monk?”
Fangzheng knew very well that to be able to come prepared, find One Finger Monastery, and force Salted Fish to come out to meet her and kneel with her the moment she arrived, then this female patron must have known about Fangzheng’s location. She definitely had a request for kneeling here…
Since that was the case, Fangzheng did not waste any time and directly asked the question.
The lady had her head lowered the entire time. She didn’t move, as though she was dead. She suddenly heard the voice that was as warm as spring water—one soothing and refreshing. It reached straight into her heart as if invigorating her entire being. She slowly raised her head and looked at the person before her.
Only then did she realize that the person in front of her was no longer that salted fish but a young and gentle monk!
The monk looked very familiar. She rubbed her eyes and looked carefully. Then, she looked at Fangzheng in disbelief and excitement. Her lips trembled as she wanted to say something, but she could not say a word.
Fangzheng pressed his palms together. “Patron, if you can’t say it, just think about it. Think from the moment you wish to mention the most. This Penniless Monk can see it.”
“Abbot Fangzheng, is it really you? Am I not dreaming?” said the woman excitedly.
Fangzheng nodded. “Amitabha. It’s This Penniless Monk.”
The woman immediately cried when she heard that. She hugged Fangzheng’s thigh and wailed. “Abbot Fangzheng, help me… Boohoo…”
Fangzheng was helpless. He didn’t mind the woman’s dirtiness, nor did he pretend to be profound because of the so-called precepts. Instead, he allowed himself to be quietly hugged by the woman. He could sense that the woman didn’t have any romantic feelings for him. It was just a fragile soul seeking help. This was a creature’s instinct, a plea of the weak…
Fangzheng didn’t plan on dodging such a person. Instead, he calmly let her hug him. He wanted to be the tree and harbor that she could rely on to comfort her spiritually.
Time ticked by. When the woman was done crying and venting, she gradually relaxed. Then, she snapped out of her daze and looked up at Fangzheng.
Only then did she realize that Fangzheng had been standing there all this while. He pressed his palms together and smiled at her.
There was no mockery, no pity for the weak, only a sunny smile like that of a boy next door. At that instant, all the discomfort in her heart was wiped away.
“Master, why isn’t this female patron crying after seeing an unimportant smile from you?” Red Boy asked with a voice transmission.
Fangzheng similarly replied with A Golden Millet Dream. “What she needs isn’t pity. Pity only serves to make her sadder. She only needs a listener. Smiling and calmly listening is the greatest encouragement for her.”
“I see,” said Red Boy.
