The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Chapter 1381 - Master’s Gift

Chapter 1381: Master’s Gift

Someone said that Fangzheng had already ascended.

Some said that Fangzheng was undergoing a Life and Death seclusion. He wouldn’t exit seclusion in a hundred years or so…

In conclusion, there were many stories.

In this month, many things happened. The negotiations between China and other countries finally came to a close. China only wanted a world of equality, but a country did not want to give China such an environment. On the contrary, it used its military might, its many allies, and a monopoly on technology to make many excessive requests.

China naturally did not agree, so the discussions failed…

America directly said that China’s actions had seriously threatened its national security and interests, so it would use all sorts of methods to take revenge on China, including war.

The moment that was announced, it didn’t receive much support but criticism.

World peace was not easy to come by, so who would want a war? Even its allies did not want a war, especially against a big country like China!

Hence, an international wrangling began.

However, America still sent its navy over. Although they did not enter China’s territorial sea, they still circled around outside, appearing extremely provocative.

At once, the tension escalated.

As for Fangzheng, he naturally did not really enter seclusion. He was aware of every development outside.

He felt that he was not qualified to participate in international matters. That was the country’s matters, so there was no need for him to worry about it.

What Fangzheng did every day was to absorb some True Yang before reading the scriptures. That was all…

In a month, Fangzheng grew younger by 30 years. He had turned from an eighty-year-old man to a middle-aged man in his fifties. He looked very mature. Thanks to the books, it made his temperament become more reliable. It made people feel at ease when they saw him. He was a standard handsome uncle-next-door. He wasn’t otherworldly handsome, a very mellow form of handsomeness.

Fangzheng looked at himself in a picture and nodded in satisfaction. “Not bad.”

Seeing that Fangzheng was in a good mood, Monkey walked over and said, “Master, the commotion outside is almost going to explode. Are you really not going to interfere? Mayor Qi Dongsheng came again…”

Fangzheng waved his hand and said, “Take out the armor that I made and give it to Mayor Qi. Tell him that This Penniless Monk is only an outsider of society. Don’t rope This Penniless Monk into it when the countries are wrangling over matters.”

Monkey scratched his head and said, “Master, the two countries are about to go to war. What’s the use of giving them a suit of armor?”

Fangzheng said, “Just tell them that there’s a furnace core in the armor. Although it’s not big, it can provide the armor full power for three days. They will know if it’s useful or not. Let them take it.”

After tersely acknowledging, Monkey ran to the back of the mountain and took out the armor. He handed the armor to Qi Dongsheng who wore a look of confusion and said, “Master said to let me give this to you. Also, he said that he doesn’t want to interfere with the wrangling between countries. Finally, he said that there is a furnace core in the armor. Although it’s not big, it can provide the armor full power for three days.”

Qi Dongsheng was just about to complain when he saw the armor in his hand. When he heard the power of a furnace core, his eyes widened! He exclaimed, “Is this made by Master?”

Although Qi Dongsheng did not know technology, he had no lack of visits to technological factories. He might not know much, but he was knowledgeable. The armor in front of him was very detailed, and the main point was that there was a secret inside! It was not a simple cosplay outfit but an exoskeleton armor. This was Iron Man! This was definitely a powerful weapon!

The most important thing was not the combat power of the armor, but the furnace core that came equipped with the armor! To be frank, a small furnace core could provide three days of power to an armor. What was this? This was energy!

In the current world, why were they fighting? They were fighting for energy!

Only with energy could one develop and have a future. Only with energy could one survive!

Therefore, all countries were crazily snatching energy resources for survival!

Some people used business tactics while others used military force and politics…

But the core of all problems was energy!

Qi Dongsheng knew that energy was just one side of a story. It might even trigger the fragile nerves of this world! Once it was leaked out, there would probably be countless countries who would resort to unscrupulous means for benefits!

With this in mind, Qi Dongsheng knew that this matter could not be delayed. He had to send it to the relevant departments to protect it as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the secret was leaked, it would be troublesome!

Monkey said, “It was indeed personally made by This Penniless Monk’s master.”

Qi Dongsheng did not pursue the matter further. He bowed and said, “Help me thank Master. What I’ve done is not even a millionth of Master’s contributions to the country and the human race! I understand what Master is getting at. Master, don’t worry. China has never been a country that aimed to rule over the world. We will use this core to benefit the world and not occupy the world.”

The moment that was said, Monkey was just about to say something when a loud Buddhist proclamation sounded from the monastery. “Amitabha. Patron, you have boundless merit.”

The person who spoke was none other than Fangzheng.

When Qi Dongsheng heard the Buddhist proclamation, he bowed even more respectfully. It was not showing respect to Buddha, but to thank Fangzheng for everything he had done for the country.

After the ceremony, Qi Dongsheng immediately bade farewell and carried his armor as he ran down the mountain. He didn’t return to the office at the foot of the mountain. Instead, he went straight to the airport. His target was Beijing!

Following that, Beijing secretly came under lockdown. Not long after, a vehicle left the city and entered a secret mountainous area—a city that did not exist on the map…

On the same day, Qi Dongsheng rushed back to One Finger Monastery. He held a golden plaque and handed it to Jingxin.

Red Boy looked at what was written: the number one monk in the world!

Red Boy was dumbfounded. “This…”

Qi Dongsheng said, “That armor is too important to the country. To be honest, your monastery is different from other monasteries. The mountain is only this huge, and you have already done the expansion. Furthermore, the country is astonished at how luxurious it is. As people with divine powers, you do not lack anything either. After thinking about it, we can only give you honor. We can’t give you the number one monastery in the world since there’s one that exists since ancient times. Giving that title to you will only bring hatred… I believe Master wouldn’t want it, right?”

Red Boy scratched his head. “No, Patron. You are overthinking things. I believe Master will not want this plaque either.”

Qi Dongsheng was stunned. “He won’t want this?”

“Amitabha. Indeed, This Penniless Monk doesn’t want it.” At that moment, Fangzheng’s voice sounded. Instead of his person coming out, his voice sounded.

Qi Dongsheng immediately said, “Master, if you don’t want this, what do you want? As long as you mention it, the brass will definitely reward you.”

Red Boy curled his lips. “Master is so capable. What doesn’t he have?”
