Fangzheng looked at Yang Cheng in surprise. He never expected the bandit-like fellow to be a doctor!

“Master, don’t believe him! He’s a devil! They’re all devils!” The child behind shouted.

Yang Cheng said, “Sigh... He used to be a pretty good kid. Later, he became obsessed with surfing the Internet and his family refused to let him use it. Gradually, he went crazy. When he came to our hospital to receive treatment, there were signs of improvement, but we didn’t expect this to happen.”

Fangzheng returned the name card to Yang Cheng and said, “Since you have been treating him for so long, and there’s only signs of improvement. Why don’t you let him stay with This Penniless Monk? This Penniless Monk believes that his medical skills are quite passable...”

The moment that was said, Yang Cheng was dumbfounded. Fangzheng said that his medical skills were quite passable? Then was there anyone in the world who could do medicine?

Yang Cheng didn’t dare claim that his medical skills were better than Fangzheng’s, nor could he force Fangzheng to hand him over. However, he knew one thing. The child definitely couldn’t stay!

But how was he to snatch him from Fangzheng?

There were two other people who came with Yang Cheng. One of them was quite burly and had a full beard. He looked fierce and fierce, while the other looked a little quiet and gentle. He had a hair parting and a glossy and rosy face. If this was decades ago, he would have played the perfect role as a standard traitor!

The burly man’s name was Cheng Kui. The traitor-looking man was called Li Shu. Both of them were doctors from the Fourth Hospital of Yuan City.

However, Cheng Kui was clearly a little impatient. He whispered into Yang Cheng’s ear, “Do we?”

Without another word, Yang Cheng immediately shouted, “What are you talking about? Don’t call the hospital. I’ll make the decision. Since Abbot Fangzheng wants to educate the child, let the child stay.”

Cheng Kui was clearly stunned.

By the side, Li Shu said, “Brother Yang is right. Abbot Fangzheng’s medical skills are famous both domestically and internationally. Since he wants to do it, let him treat him. If there’s nothing else, let’s go... This cold weather is too cold on the mountain.”

Before Cheng Kui could come to his senses, Yang Cheng tugged at him. He lost his balance and was turned to face a different direction. Following that, he saw a silver-white wolf running across the snow. It had a rope in its mouth, and behind the rope was a huge rock as tall as a person!

There was a monkey standing on the rock. Monkey held a stick in his hand and shouted, “Eldest Senior Brother, run faster! Wahaha... What’s so impressive about water-skiing to those people who live by the sea? We can snow-ski!”

Upon seeing this scene, although it was winter and the cold wind was biting, Cheng Kui’s forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He gulped and said, “Yea... Let’s go down the mountain. It’s too cold.”

With that said, the trio hurriedly bowed to Fangzheng and said, “Master, we won’t disturb you any further. We’ll be leaving first. We’ll also inform the child’s parents. If they have no objections, then it will be tough on you.”

Fangzheng couldn’t tell anything wrong with what he said. He pressed his palms together and smiled. “Patrons, take care. This Penniless Monk will not send you off.”

“There’s no need, there’s no need...” The trio hurriedly waved their hands and shouted.

Following that, the three of them ran off. The speed at which they descended the mountain was clearly much faster than when they came up the mountain.

After the trio left, Squirrel jumped onto Fangzheng’s shoulder and asked curiously, “Master, what kind of people were those three just now? Were they good people or bad people?”

Fangzheng retorted, “What do you think?”

Squirrel cocked his head and said without thinking, “They don’t look like good people.”

“Oh? Why do you say that?”

Squirrel shook his head. “I don’t know. In any case, they don’t look like good people. It’s like I know that snakes will steal from my nest. I can tell at a glance that they aren’t good people.”

Fangzheng nodded slightly and said, “That’s right. Wolves can always distinguish dogs from wolves. This is an instinct.”

Squirrel nodded thoughtfully before shouting, “Eldest Senior Brother, do you think those three people were good or bad?”

Lone Wolf looked up and said in a daze, “Not bad!”

Fangzheng’s face darkened as he shouted, “Go and get some water!”

Lone Wolf looked aggrieved, but he still went to fetch water.

The task of getting water was a little troublesome for Lone Wolf in the past. However, the task of getting water today was a rather good form of exercise for Lone Wolf, who was extremely energetic without a female wolf draining him. Therefore, he went to fetch the water...

As for Fangzheng, he took out his cell phone and opened TikTok. He used a new account to silently write under a lecture delivered by an entrepreneur surnamed Ma. “The facts have proven that wolves can’t distinguish dogs from a wolf pack. They will only be as dumb as dogs!”

After he finished writing, Fangzheng put away his cell phone and ignored the various curses that were rapidly flashing beneath his comment...

After packing up, Fangzheng looked back. The child was still standing under the tree.

Fangzheng smiled. “Young Patron, why aren’t you leaving?”

The child trembled as his teeth chattered. “Master... I... don’t dare. Down the mountain... they will catch me.”

Fangzheng snapped his fingers and a ball of fire burned on the snow. The child looked at Fangzheng in surprise and exclaimed, “Are you really a deity?”

Fangzheng shook his head slightly. Deity? Buddha?

Damn it, he only wanted to curse!

Bullsh*t deity, bullsh*t Buddha!

Thinking back, in order to resolve Dragon Girl’s predicament, he had jumped off the cliff to commit suicide. By a twist of fate, he completed the System’s final trial, thus becoming Buddha as described by the System.

And this so-called Buddha wasn’t the kind of powerful being Fangzheng believed to be, one that could wield a Buddhist kingdom in his hands, have billions of manifestations, and be able to redeem billions of worlds.

The scene from that time flashed across his mind...

“Ding! Congratulations on completing the final trial and becoming Buddha!”

Fangzheng was immediately delighted when he heard that. “Really? Then I’m a Buddha now?”

The System said, “Yes!”

Fangzheng said excitedly, “Then what can I do? Can I punish all the bad people in the world?”

The System said matter-of-factly, “No!”

Fangzheng was dumbfounded as he asked, “Then what can I do?”

The System said, “You have to understand. Be it Buddha or God, using divine powers requires essence energy. There’s no essence energy in your world, so what else do you think you can do?”

Fangzheng’s face darkened. “Then you mean that me being Buddha is useless?”

The System said, “Not really.”

“Then what can I do?”

System: “Ding! Congratulations on obtaining a Buddha token!”

Fangzheng looked at the golden Buddhist token that suddenly appeared in his arms. From the looks of it, it looked like the kind of glistening golden plaque hanging at the entrance of a company...

Fangzheng asked with a dark expression, “What’s the use of this?”

The System said, “It’s useless. I’m just giving you a token of appreciation. You can use it to decorate the house.”

Fangzheng: “...”

Clang!

Fangzheng threw the Buddhist token on the ground and shouted, “I quit! I quit! I want to renounce asceticism! Didn’t I become a Buddha? Can’t I renounce asceticism? I quit! I’m going down the mountain! Whoever wants to be Buddha can do so!”
