Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
Fang Kui was imdiately rendered speechless.?When did the police beco such a**holes?
Old Zhou laughed. “Old Liu used to be an army dic. He checked on you just now and said that there’s definitely no problem with you going up the mountain. Don’t worry. We aren’t a**holes.”
Only then did Fang Kui feel relieved.
However, Old Zhou was puzzled deep down.?Why would the county’s highest-ranking official co all the way to a remote place like One Finger Village in the middle of the night? Are they also here for the living Buddha? Did Bodhisattva really appear at the top of the mountain? But, how is that possible? I didn’t see it…
Because of the thick frost on the windscreen, apart from the area the windscreen demister was working on, everything was a blur. With such a small field of vision, it was already pretty impressive that he could see the road. There was no need to consider anything else, especially at a diagonally upwards angle. It was all frost!
He really felt puzzled.?Could there truly be a living Buddha in this world? Is there really a Bodhisattva?
It wasn’t only Old Zhou. The other police officers had the sa thought. Even Fang Kui, who claid to be afraid of death, was the one who wished to head up the mountain the most after confirming that it wouldn’t kill him! After seeing the living Buddha descend from the sky and his divine powers, the Door to Hell, as well as the mountain-sized Bodhisattva, no one was more curious about Fangzheng than him.
Hence, although it was Old Zhou leading the way in the beginning, it was basically Fang Kui who was guiding them towards the end. After the vehicle convoy stopped, all of them got out of their cars.
At this mont, Old Zhou and company saw vividly that the people who got out of the black sedan were Songwu County’s county head and secretary! They were dressed in thick clothes; their eyes looked sowhat exhausted while their clothes were wet and ssy. Clearly, they had rushed over without notice and were in quite a fluster.
Upon seeing this, Old Zhou and company were even more puzzled. Furthermore, they weren’t the only ones puzzled. The police that had escorted the two big shots all the way there also wore looks of confusion. They couldn’t figure out why the county head and secretary would do sothing like that in the middle of the night!?Why would they co to this crappy place?
As they suffered the cold winds, they stamped their feet.
The escorts got Old Zhou to lead the way. Nodding, he walked with Fang Kui and company in the front as the group went up the mountain at a pretty fast speed.
As they walked, the county head ca forward and warmly asked, “Were you n on the night shift today?”
Old Zhou nodded.
“It’s said that a mountain-sized Bodhisattva appeared on Mt. One Finger and that Abbot Fangzheng flew into the sky and jumped off the mountain. Do you know anything about that?” the county head asked.
Old Zhou looked at the county head with a dumbfounded look before looking at Fang Kui. He felt extrely depressed. It felt as though everyone in the world knew about it except him. He had let such a good chance to shine slip!
However, Old Zhou pushed Fang Kui forward and glared at him, afraid that he would do sothing rash. He said, “This is Fang Kui, a professional dog thief. He is suspected to be a kidnapper and was just caught by us tonight.”
The mont that was said, Old Zhou clearly felt the surrounding police officers turn nervous. They were just short of drawing their guns to pepper Fang Kui with holes.
Fang Kui nearly cried from fright. He wasn’t afraid of the guns but that he would die before he redeed himself of his sins. Hell would await him if that happened! Hence, he hurriedly yelled, “Calm down! I surrendered already! I surrendered! I saw the Bodhisattva on the mountain. The spot Abbot Fangzheng landed after jumping was also just beside !”
With that shout, the mood clearly relaxed a little. The county head looked at Old Zhou.
Old Zhou nodded and said, “Yes. I’m not sure about the rest, but this fellow did surrender. He said that the living Buddha had gotten him to tie himself to an electric pole to surrender himself.” With that said, Old Zhou shot Fang Kui a glance to get him to speak.
Fang Kui imdiately ntioned his preparations before he entered the village, as well as what he had encountered.
Upon hearing him talk about the mountain-sized Bodhisattva and the monk who descended from above, the county head and secretary weren’t surprised. However, they revealed a serious look when they heard about the Door to Hell.
“Are we still heading up?” the secretary asked.
The county head nodded. “Yes!”
The rowdy group instantly turned solemn as the mood beca sowhat repressed. Fang Kui, who was walking with them, felt uneasy. He realized that any random action of his could cause the police officers around him to riddle him with bullets. Imdiately, he felt too deep for tears, and for the first ti, he regretted coming up the mountain.
“This is the rule. If everyone understands it, you can co to This Penniless Monk to redeem the remaining congee at any ti,” Red Boy said.
Everyone fell into a dilemma when they heard that. Looking at the congee in the bucket in Red Boy’s hands and slling its otherworldly fragrance, all of them were tempted. However, if the congee was really ssed up, as Red Boy claid it to be, and there would be better congee later, wouldn’t they be suffering a terrible loss?
Therefore, everyone began weighing the pros and cons.
Dog Song also appeared in a dilemma, but he didn’t say a word.
No one from One Finger Village moved, so none of the tourists moved either. They shared simple thoughts. Since they were unfamiliar with the area and didn’t know anything, it was definitely best to follow the locals. There was no way they would suffer!
“Everyone, it will be difficult for This Penniless Monk to do anything if this continues. The congee will turn cold if this drags on. Why don’t we do this; you will be given ten seconds to decide. Those who want it can line up while those who don’t can move away.” Red Boy was anxiously waiting to cook a new batch of congee.
“10!”
“9!”
“8!”
Everyone exchanged looks, but no one moved. Dog Song’s eyes shimred, but it was unknown what was on his mind.
“7!”
“6!”
At this mont, Ma Yuan, Tan Ming, and Xu Xun arrived. Upon hearing Red Boy’s slow countdown, they hurriedly asked about the situation. After realizing the situation, Xu Xun was instantly tempted. She said, “Ma Yuan, I wasn’t convinced when you told about how good the congee was, but I now believe you just from the sll alone. Since they don’t want it, shall we?”
“Abbot Fangzheng doesn’t lie. If he said that this batch was ssed up, it must definitely be ssed up. We shall wait,” Ma Yuan said.
Xu Xun was just about to speak when Tan Ming exclaid. “Holy sh*t! Why is he here? He’s even faster than !”
“Who?” Ma Yuan and Xu Xun subconsciously asked.
They saw a man co forward, shouting. “Wait. I want it!”
The man was slightly plump and not too old. He looked to be in his thirties, and the way he smiled made him look like a criminal. The fatty looked like quite the slippery fellow. No one else knew him, but Tan Ming knew him well. It was the darn fatty he had requested ti off from! He never expected his boss to secretly co here alone… This left him sowhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Upon seeing him step forward, Tan Ming hurriedly ran over and pulled him back. “Why are you here? Also, don’t take this congee!”
