“Shut up! Don’t slander General Butcher Bar!” a soldier shouted angrily.
As a result, the Red Fiends soldier, who was being scolded, suddenly pulled out his gun and raised his hand to blow up the head of Butcher Bar’s soldier! At the same time, he roared with fervor, “No one can pretend to be the Lord Holy Fiend!”
Immediately, others responded, “That’s right, no one can pretend to be the Lord Holy Fiend!”
When Eccentric saw this, he jumped out and shouted, “The glory of the Red Fiends cannot be tainted, capture Butcher Bar, save Lord Holy Fiend! The Nine Shirts have betrayed the Holy Fiend, we cannot forgive them!”
“They cannot be forgiven! Capture Butcher Bar, save Lord Holy Fiend!” someone shouted.
Eccentric shouted, “Take up arms and follow me. Let’s storm in!”
With that said, the Red Fiend members took out their firearms and followed.
Eccentric’s lips curled up slightly when he saw this. He thought to himself, “Butcher Bar, you never dreamed that your seemingly perfect plan would have such a big loophole! Perhaps you have a way to smooth things over in the future, but now, let’s see how you get past this!”
Butcher Bar’s men were dumbfounded. They did not know what to do…
By the time they reacted, Eccentric had already rushed towards the meeting room with the Red Fiend members! Before the guards at the door could say anything, they had muzzles in their mouths. They raised their hands as they watched Eccentric kick open the door…
Bang!
The door was suddenly kicked open. The Nine Shirts and Butcher Bar, who were in the middle of a meeting to lay out plans, were stunned.
Then, the few of them turned to look at the door and saw Eccentric carrying a huge revolver in his hand!
“Eccentric! What are you doing?” Yellow Shirt stood up and shouted angrily.
In the end, Eccentric raised his gun and shot. Yellow Shirt let out a tragic cry. His leg had been hit as he knelt on the ground.
The Nine Shirts and Butcher Bar were shocked by Eccentric’s actions. Was he trying to rebel?
Then, Eccentric raised his head and said, “Butcher Bar, get down from the seat of the Holy Fiend! Otherwise, don’t blame me for shooting you!”
Upon hearing this, the hearts of the Nine Shirts and Butcher Bar trembled.
Black Shirt slammed the table and stood up. He shouted angrily, “Eccentric, what nonsense are you spouting? Lord Holy Fiend is the one and only Lord Holy Fiend. What do you mean Butcher Bar?”
Eccentric laughed and said, “Black Shirt, do you really think we are fools? You said that he is a Holy Fiend, not Butcher Bar? Then let him come out and show himself to us!”
Purple Shirt said angrily, “How day you, Eccentric! Holy Fiend is holy. He doesn’t meet anyone. This is a rule! You actually want to see Holy Fiend? Who do you think you are?”
Upon hearing what Purple Shirt said, the rest of the Red Fiend members flinched a little. Their fanaticism was the fanaticism of an evil cult, so the rules were also a part of the fanaticism. Following the rules was something the Red Fiends inculcated; therefore, when it came to rules, everyone was a little afraid.
Eccentric didn’t seem to care. “Purple Shirt, what you say is useless. Just now, everyone saw that the person behind the scenes isn’t Lord Holy Fiend, but General Butcher Bar! Purple Shirt, you want to talk to me about the rules? What is the third rule of our Red Fiend Cult? Use your life to protect Lord Holy Fiend!
“Right now, the Lord Holy Fiend might be replaced by someone else. As a Red Fiend, how can I not care? Are you still a Red Fiend? Or have you already submitted to Butcher Bar?”
Upon hearing Eccentric’s words, the Red Fiends believers, who had previously lost their bravado, immediately went forward. Someone shouted, “That’s right, we saw that the Holy Fiend is disguised by Butcher Bar!”
“You want us to believe you, then let us see how Holy Fiend looks like!”
“Yes!”
“How dare you!” Black Shirt slammed the table, his many years of prestige was still capable of shocking everyone.
Just as Black Shirt was about to speak, the curtains behind him suddenly tore as though someone had ripped it off. Instantly, it fell to the ground!
On top of the throne, Butcher Bar hurriedly covered his face with his hands in fright to prevent himself from being recognized.
However, it was too late. A sharp-eyed person immediately shouted, “It’s really Butcher Bar! Our Holy Fiend has been impersonated by him!”
Upon hearing this, Black Shirt man cursed inwardly. He hurriedly drew his gun and jumped onto the table before roaring. “Aiya!”
He felt a pain in his neck as he collapsed with a scream.
Fangzheng looked innocently at his right hand and smacked his lips as he mumbled. “It failed again…”
Upon seeing this scene, Eccentric was truly rendered speechless. He was puzzled. Master’s medical skills were so superb. Could it be that he couldn’t knock someone unconscious? That’s impossible, right? Or could it be that this fellow was doing it on purpose? He just wanted to hit someone to get a kick out of it?
Fangzheng felt a little guilty when he saw Eccentric’s suspicious gaze. With his hands behind his back, he walked to the side.
Eccentric immediately calmed down. He waved his gun and shouted, “Black Shirt, all of you ingrates. Holy Fiend has done so much for you, but here you are helping Butcher Bar usurp his throne! Brothers, do you think we can agree with this?”
“No!” A group of Red Fiend members shouted. They were like crazy bulls that could charge forward at any moment and trample everyone in front of them!
However, the bulls had not completely lost control because there was still Eccentric!
Although Eccentric could not be considered one of the top management of the Red Fiends, he was still quite famous among the middle-level management. He was the craziest, a super fool, and an unquestionable villain…
Although none of these reputations were good, it made him better than the unknown middle management. Now that Eccentric had stepped forward to wave the flag and expose the fake Holy Fiend’s mask, he instantly became its new leader.
Looking at the Red Fiend believers, Fangzheng felt deep sorrow for them.
Since ancient times, faith was a sharp sword. Once pierced, one would lose themselves! Therefore, faith could not be used lightly, and one could not put faith in someone. Otherwise, everything would be lost!
This was also the reason why Fangzheng did not accept humans as his disciples despite having divine powers. The human heart was complicated, unlike Squirrel and the other animals. They were simple-minded and took whatever he thought at face value.
When a person’s heart was complicated, they would likely lose themselves to countless temptations when they entered the monastery. They would truly be intoxicated to become a master to enlighten others. As a so-called master, they would be worshiped by others and enjoy the joy of being respected. Or perhaps, they would be unable to extricate themselves from their tribute to Buddha. They would treat Buddha as their life’s faith, causing them to lose themselves and become Buddha’s shadow…
And from Fangzheng’s point of view, this was a mistake on the wrong path.
From Fangzheng’s point of view, it was not a problem for a true accomplished monk to answer questions and provide enlightenment. However, it was wrong to be overly obsessed with it and enjoy the joy within.
A true accomplished monk had to be open-minded. He had to know himself and maintain his true self. He couldn’t be affected by any external influences. An accomplished monk had to first be a person with a true self! Not a Buddha without a sense of self!
The more he cultivated, the more he could see himself clearly. He knew exactly where he was right or wrong, and he knew that his soul would remain intact even if the idol he looked up to collapsed.
