Chapter 1150: Drawing A New Divine Power
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
The moment Fangzheng reached the foot of the mountain, he cast A Golden Millet Dream and hid his tracks. He then ran up the mountain.
As soon as he reached the entrance, he saw three people storming out.
Two of them were Wang Yougui and County Head Qi. Another person he didn’t know was a middle-aged man. The man was anxious as he mumbled. “This fellow actually went all the way to Nanjing! He was even captured by the police! I don’t even know what he did…”
“Some people online say that he was caught for prostitution,” County Head Qi said.
Wang Yougui rolled his eyes and said, “That’s impossible. Although that kid looks mature, he’s actually just a young pup. Just touching a woman makes him blush. How can such a person make use of prostitution? Besides, if he renounced asceticism to get married, there would be many girls in the surrounding villages who’d wish to marry him. The problem is that this punk has no intention of renouncing asceticism!”
“That’s true… But the photos online can’t be fake, right?” County Head Qi said.
“Let’s go. One look, and we’ll know. If he was really caught for that, we have to fish him out first and ask him,” the middle-aged man said.
Watching the trio’s departing backs, Salted Fish emerged from the water and grinned. “To not even see him when he’s right in front of you, only to travel hundreds of miles to find him? With those eyes of yours, you might as well go home and rest.”
Fangzheng’s divine powers were nothing impressive to Salted Fish and Red Boy, so he naturally couldn’t hide from them.
Fangzheng ignored Salted Fish and instead thought about what the trio had said. He had been captured by the police? He had even been caught for prostitution? What the hell? When was he caught? The moment he thought that it must be something on the Internet, Fangzheng hurriedly looked for Red Boy to get his phone.
At the same time, Fangzheng asked Salted Fish, “Did you say what I told you to tell them?”
“I did, but they wanted to meet you. They even said that certain things are for your ears only. They refused to tell anyone else, as if anyone actually cares…” Salted Fish said.
Fangzheng shook his head helplessly. After entering the temple, he snatched his phone back from Red Boy. When he did a search, Fangzheng’s face instantly darkened.
He saw that a photo of him was being spread on Weibo once again, and this photo showed him being taken to the side by the police while he was watching the commotion.
It was fine if he didn’t see it, but the moment he saw it, he felt his heart sink into despair.
In the photo, his position with the policemen made it seem like he had been arrested, and there was no further explanation under the picture.
So instead, the people who forwarded the photo created all sorts of strange captions.
“Master Fangzheng committed a crime and was captured by the police on the spot!”
“A crazy criminal appeared in Nanjing to rob people at ATMs. The police caught the criminal only to realize it was Master Fangzheng!”
“Master Fangzheng was caught for prostitution. Please discuss the speed at which the monk degenerated.”
“From how Master Fangzheng was caught for prostitution, it’s truly the case that fame can be a double-edged sword.”
…
As Fangzheng browsed through the news, his eyes rolled back. What the heck was all of that? He wanted to curse.
With Fangzheng finally calming down, he also thought of a problem. Since just this one photo caused such a stir, what would happen with the second one?
As the saying went, if people were unlucky, they would stuff their teeth even with cold water.
Sure enough, someone posted a second picture of him being detained by two policemen!
“As soon as Master Fangzheng was released, he entered the station a second time.”
“In his mind when entering the station a second time:?F**k, I’ve been captured again!”
“What kind of chick can leave Master so obsessed?”
“When it comes to the power of beauties, even kings have perished for them since times immemorial. This time, its Master’s second time entering the station!”
…
“One day, with a knife in hand, I’ll kill all you rumor mongers!” Fangzheng finally blurted out this sentence.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning struck the spot in front of Fangzheng, causing him to look up into the sky. He roared inwardly. “Is this considered cursing? System, f**k you!”
The System didn’t say a word, but Lone Wolf came running over. He had a kitchen knife in his mouth and placed it at Fangzheng’s feet. He wagged his tail and said, “Master, the knife is here. Who do you want to kill?”
Fangzheng looked at the silly Lone Wolf and then the knife on the ground. Suddenly, he had the urge to kill a dog.
At that moment, Wang Yougui, County Head Qi, and the middle-aged man suddenly ran back. They heard the middle-aged man say, “Thankfully, I called to ask ahead of time. I was nearly fooled by these rumors! I knew it. How could such a figure like Fangzheng be rumored to have seen a prostitute?”
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng’s heart warmed. He suddenly had the urge to meet the trio.
Wang Yougui also said, “That’s right. How could he?”
County Head Qi said, “Yes, he wouldn’t.”
The middle-aged man said, “That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m saying that he knows divine powers! Even if he sees some prostitutes, it’s impossible for him to be caught!”
The foot Fangzheng had raised immediately fell to the ground as he turned around and headed into his backyard with boundless resentment.
“Master, are you really not meeting them?” Red Boy asked.
“No!”
With that said, Fangzheng immediately ran to the backyard, entered the meditation room, and took out the green kasaya at the bottom of the chest. He locked the door, put on the kasaya, and sat cross-legged on the brick bed. He hugged the picture of Old Dad One Finger and silently said, “Old Dad, please bless me. Let me draw something good!”
“System, let’s have a draw!” Fangzheng said.
“Are you sure?” the System asked.
“Yes.”
“Ding! Congratulations on obtaining a new divine power—Nature.”
Fangzheng’s heart palpitated when he heard that. He had finally drawn a new divine power! Previously, his Heavenly Eye divine powers had been temporarily useless after communicating with the Ten Thousand Buddha plaque and activating the golden Bodhisattva’s projection. This reduced the number of divine powers he could use significantly. As for the Divine State, although it could also be used for emergencies, it firstly expended merit and secondly, this thing was truly unreliable. No one knew what divine power it would produce beforehand.
Fangzheng still hoped to obtain a more reliable divine power, but he could already tell the divine power in front of him was useless just by looking at its name. However, no matter what it was, it was better than nothing. It was a divine power, which meant it was a good thing.
Hence, Fangzheng hurriedly checked the description of Nature.
“Nature: The ability to understand the language of nature. You can communicate with plants and pass your thoughts to them.”
When Fangzheng heard that, he was immediately rendered speechless. This divine power seemed to have the same effect as the Myriad Language Pills, but it was only effective on plants. Nothing else would change!
“System, logically speaking, This Penniless Monk has quite a bit of merit this time, right?” Fangzheng asked.
“Of course, not only did you punish the weeaboos, you also made them realize their mistakes. The main point is that this matter has already stirred people all over China. The weeaboos who hadn’t shown their true colors have been completely exposed. It has also fanned the patriotism of the entire nation’s citizens. This itself is a great merit,” the System said.
Fangzheng said, “If that’s the case, why did I draw such a useless thing? This thing seems to be letting down the merit I used! Besides, I’m even wearing the green kasaya…”
