Chapter 1390 - Go, Big Dog!
The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism
Chapter 1390: Go, Big Dog!
No matter what methods they used to reach where they thought was very good, there was one thing that they could not avoid. That was the foundation of everything—medical skills!
Once their medical skills were eliminated, they would be eliminated!
Hence, these people could no longer sit still.
This was especially so for Dr. Qin. When he had left the message, he had wanted to see how Fangzheng would respond to the group of ten or so people’s interrogation. However, before Fangzheng even arrived, they were instantly denounced by hundreds of thousands… The speed of the posts appearing refreshed his perception of what a thread was!
In the blink of an eye, hundreds and thousands of messages appeared in the blink of an eye… Then, the content of his messages disappeared…
However, he was indignant. Finally, when Fangzheng replied, he immediately left a message: “Abbot Fangzheng, what you said isn’t right. The ancients say: heaven destroys those who don’t look out for themselves! Since the ancients say that, what’s wrong with us looking out for ourselves? Besides, we didn’t do anything too overboard. In addition, it’s said that monks see through the mortal world for what it is. Master, how can you interfere in societal matters?”
When Fangzheng saw this, he immediately shook his head and answered, “Patron, being beyond society isn’t a Buddhist saying in its earliest form. If you have nothing to do, don’t watch TV and read more books. It’s beneficial for you. Seeing through the mortal world was a common saying of Daoists and Confucianists. The Buddhists do not have such a saying.
“At that time, the mortal world represents the prosperity of the mortal world.
“Many people grow tired of that kind of life. Therefore, they find a place to live in which there’s good scenery. This is what it means to be outside society.
“Seeing past the mortal world means to stay away from the din and bustle while taking on silence. It doesn’t mean to ignore the mortal world.
“Also, the ancients say: heaven destroys those who don’t look out for themselves. Your comprehension of this saying is wrong. The pronunciation is actually different, which changes the meaning.
“Themselves here require people as a whole to abide by the principles of morals.
“The meaning of this saying is: a person should be able to cultivate his moral character and behave ethically—to be a gentleman. Otherwise, the heavens would not tolerate him.
“Therefore, Patron, if you really want to look out for yourself, you should cultivate your moral character and not ask This Penniless Monk to do anything.
“In addition, although This Penniless Monk is a monk, who said that monks have to distance themselves from the mortal world and ignore worldly affairs? The goal of being a monk is to clear one’s heart and desire. Therefore, they become monks to cleanse and cultivate one’s mind. When one’s cultivation is accomplished, they naturally come out to redeem the world. They will help to cleanse even more minds and be a useful person in society, not a cripple to society.
“In ancient times, an accomplished monk or an extremely important official would rule the world or sacrifice to the heavens to save people from danger. In recent times, accomplished monks join the army and form a monk army to protect the country!
“This kind of monk is a real monk. I’m sorry, but This Penniless Monk doesn’t think that your take on monks is a qualified monk.”
The moment that was said, Dr. Qin fell silent. He wanted to argue.
But there was immense spamming. Cries of support flooded everything.
Dr. Qin knew that whatever he said now was useless. Even if he posted it, it would be drowned.
Besides, Dr. Qin had to admit that he had been convinced by Fangzheng’s theory. Finally, he typed a few words: “Master, I’m impressed. I will work hard to be a good person in the future.”
Originally, Dr. Qin believed that Fangzheng couldn’t see his message. After all, the comments were too impressive.
However, he immediately saw Fangzheng post a new Weibo post: “Amitabha. Turn back to the shore before it’s too late!”
Upon seeing these words, Dr. Qin’s body trembled. He slowly got up and bowed to his phone. Then, he took a deep breath and said, “I’ll start from the beginning. Turn back to the shore before it’s too late. If I turn back now, I’ll see the shore sooner or later.”
After saying that, Dr. Qin went out. He did not go home, but instead did the things that he thought were beneath him. He helped patients, took care of patients, treated simple illnesses…
He did not know that everything that he did was seen by the director.
Seeing Dr. Qin like this, the director was greatly comforted and smiled happily. “This is the Little Qin I know. Heh heh… This is the return of a prodigal son! Awesome!”
…
After Fangzheng said that, Monkey shouted, “Master, Eldest Senior Brother has descended the mountain. He’s about to meet the tiger!”
When Fangzheng heard that, he quickly threw his cell phone to Squirrel and squatted on the mountaintop to watch the commotion.
At the foot of the mountain, Lone Wolf ran all the way. As he ran, he shouted, “Little Tiger, don’t be arrogant. Your Grandpa Jingfa is here! Ahhh! Today, I’m going to prove to the wolves that we are the king of the jungle. Awoo!”
Upon hearing Lone Wolf’s cry, the villagers and tourists turned around and began snapping pictures of Lone Wolf.
“Woah, Master Jingfa is fighting the northeastern tiger. What a good show!”
“Haha, I didn’t come here for nothing. Although I didn’t go up the mountain to offer incense, pray to Buddha, or pay Abbot Fangzheng a visit, but to see a northeastern tiger is worth the return tickets. Now, I’m getting a bonus tiger versus wolf! Hahaha… I lucked out!”
“That’s right. We really lucked out. Who do you think is stronger? Master Jingfa or the northeastern tiger?”
“Isn’t that obvious? It’s definitely the northeastern tiger. It’s the king of the jungle! It’s the most perfect feline creature that evolved on Earth. Wolves are lacking. They have strong heads and bones, but their waists are weak. Be it reaction and speed, they are inferior to feline animals.”
“I also feel that Master Jingfa is a little rash this time. I’m afraid he’ll lose.”
“Master Jingfa, go back. You can’t beat him! He’s a fierce northeastern tiger!” Dog Song kindly reminded.
However, Lone Wolf rolled his eyes at him. It was as though he was saying: you are underestimating me! I’m no longer the trash wolf from before. I’m really fierce!
“Master Jingfa, do you need help?” someone shouted.
Lone Wolf rolled his eyes and shouted, “A fair duel. Don’t mess around!”
Everyone was instantly amused…
When Lone Wolf saw that none of them supported him, he immediately felt a little flustered and displeased!
At that moment, he saw a cute little loli slumped over the window, her face rosy red. It was Sun Mengmeng!
When Sun Mengmeng saw Lone Wolf run over, she shouted happily, “Big Dog, all the best!”
When Lone Wolf heard that, his legs turned limp as he fell to the ground with a thud. He rolled a few times and immediately, attracted laughter.
Lone Wolf did not feel embarrassed at all. When the villagers saw this, they did not find it odd. Mengmeng was the only one in the village that called Lone Wolf by that nickname. Furthermore, every time she shouted, Lone Wolf would fall to the ground cooperatively, so as to make the little lass laugh out loud.
Indeed, Mengmeng laughed when she saw Lone Wolf fall.
Lone Wolf grinned when he saw this…
The villagers knew that the tourists did not understand. They thought that Lone Wolf was stupid, so they began persuading him.
“Master Jingfa, you have already secluded yourself. Why are you going against a tiger? Why don’t you return to the mountain?”
