Chapter 1309: Supporting the Monk Together
When Li Daguang and the others saw this, they could not hold it in any longer and burst out laughing…
Germany’s Yalman roared with laughter . “Aiyo, Ottosky, can you be any gentler? Haha…”
Ottosky blushed and glared at him . “Shut up! If you continue harping about it, I will fight you!”
Ottosky was relatively young among them . He was forty-nine years old . In his words, he was only in his forties—very young .
However, Ottosky had a very high status and background . As such, Yalman and company didn’t dare to underestimate him .
They interacted as equals…
Hearing Ottosky roar, Yalman laughed, “Forget it . If there’s a chance in the future, you can fight my grandson . But now, let’s get down to business . ”
“Venerable One, we’re here to ask for tea . We’re willing to spend a lot of money to buy Frost Bamboo tea . As for the price, I’m willing to pay a 500,000 yuan for half a kilogram . ”
Monkey was stunned when he heard that . Half a million for half a kilogram?
Monkey had experienced One Finger Monastery’s poor days . Back when he followed Fangzheng, memories of him heading down the mountain to pluck vegetables to fill his stomach remained vivid .
Therefore, to rank the greediest on One Finger Monastery: Fangzheng was first, Lone Wolf was second, and Monkey was third!
As for Squirrel?
This fellow could eat his fill with a few grains of rice, so he naturally didn’t know what it meant to be poor…
The other three were truly afraid of being poor!
Therefore, Monkey was stunned when he heard that half a kilogram of bamboo could be exchanged for 500,000 yuan…

His mind was filled with questions about how to spend the money .
Ottosky immediately said, “Monkey, sell the tea to me . I’ll give 600,000 for half a kilogram!”
France’s Nicholas said, “I’ll pay 700,000!”
Li Daguang shook his head and shouted, “1 million!”
Brazil’s Baird laughed and said, “I’ll pay 1 . 2 million!”
Yalman chuckled, “I’m talking about US dollars . ”
Baird immediately said, “I was talking about English pounds . ”
Ottosky raised an eyebrow and said, “I don’t care what you are referring to . I’ll use whatever currency you use!”
Monkey was completely dumbfounded . He stretched out his finger and began counting . 1 . 2 million pounds . How much would it be when converted to RMB?
This was the first time Monkey realized that he didn’t know how to count!
Therefore, Monkey looked at Lone Wolf for help . Lone Wolf looked up and asked in a proud, aloof manner, “What US dollars? What British pounds? What’s that? Can I buy things with it? I only acknowledge RMB!”
Monkey rolled his eyes at him and thought, “You idiot!”
Baird and company were stunned by Lone Wolf’s stupidity…

Then, Monkey looked seriously at the five people who were waiting for him to respond . He enunciated each and every word clearly, “Patron, you have said a lot . You speak very well . I’m tempted . ”
“Then are you selling it?” Baird asked excitedly .
Monkey said, “But what’s the point of asking me? I’m not the abbot…”
Baird, Yalman, Ottosky, Li Daguang, and Nicholas: “…”
When Monkey saw that the atmosphere was somewhat wrong, he hurriedly said, “Amitabha . Patrons, if there’s nothing else, This Penniless Monk will be leaving first . Bye…”
“Monkey, stop right there!”
The five of them finally erupted with rage . To be precise, they were about to go crazy!
They had talked to the sleeping Monkey all night .
When he finally woke up, they tried persuading all day, only to realize that he couldn’t make the decision!
If you can’t make the decision, you should have said so earlier!
Let’s return to get some sleep before coming again to find the person-in-charge!
Not only had they wasted their energies and time, but they also ended up infuriated!
Monkey subconsciously turned his head when he heard that . However, since the monk robes didn’t fit his body, his sleeve happened to roll down and cover his hands . Monkey had no choice but to roll them up . At the same time, to entertain the guests, he asked, “What?”
The five looked at Monkey’s actions, then turned back to look at the boulder that had been flung more than a hundred meters away . At the same time, they gulped and said in unison, “Nothing, have some sleep . ”

After that, the five of them left bitterly .
Monkey looked baffled as he shook his head and entered the monastery .
“Are we going back just like that?” the innocent Nicholas asked .
Yalman said, “Go back? After having such tea, can you sleep when you get back?”
Nicholas said, “I can’t… Why don’t we wait here?”
Li Daguang said, “It will take an hour down the mountain . It’s half past three . In other words, it’s already half past four when we head down . By the time we find a place to settle down, it’ll be five o’clock . According to what’s said online, we have to be here in the morning or in the evening to meet Abbot Fangzheng . Therefore, we basically won’t be able to see Fangzheng if we now head down the mountain . We can only wait until evening…”
Baird said, “It isn’t easy to make a trip here . I won’t be able to wait until evening . I’ll wait here . ”
“I’ll wait here too,” Ottosky said .
Hence, the five of them began to loiter around the door .
“Is what the Internet said true? This monastery isn’t big, and the mountain isn’t big . How can there be so many visitors in such a place?” Baird asked in puzzlement .
Ottosky said, “I don’t know anything else, but there’s really something odd about the monastery . Have you seen monkeys talk? Have you ever seen a monkey with such great strength?”
Baird shook his head .
Li Daguang said, “Although Buddhism isn’t as prosperous in China as compared to Southeast Asia, it’s still the number one religion . It’s fine that there are so many believers, but most importantly, the commoners are very strange . They seem to believe in all kinds of religions… Also, as long as they hear that something is efficacious, they’ll try it out . Well… To be honest, I don’t really understand whether they really are religious or not…”
Everyone was confused .
“I don’t know if they are really religious, but I’ve read Chinese news . This Fangzheng has been said to be a god, just like Jesus . Isn’t that a little too much?” Baird said .
“I’m not sure if it’s true, but it’s said that his medical skills are excellent . Oh right, his medical skills seem to be recorded on a few large stone slabs on the mountain . Look, it’s over there . It’s said that only those who are fated to read the words on the stone slab can read it,” Nicholas said as he pointed at the stone slab .
The few of them immediately became intrigued . Since they had nothing to do on the mountain, they might as well go take a look and kill time .
Therefore, they immediately ran over and stood under the stone slab . When they looked up, they immediately lowered their heads and rubbed their eyebrows .
Ottosky cursed, “What the hell is up here? I’m going dizzy just by looking at it…”
Li Daguang chuckled and said, “That’s why it’s said that only the fated are allowed to see . ”
Baird said, “But I heard that the so-called fated ones are the Chinese . The people from other countries, even the South Koreans and Japanese, who similarly studied TCM, don’t understand what’s written . At the very least, no one has ever understood it . Therefore, I think this is a chess game played by the Chinese . The entire country’s citizens are involved in making this monk seem important . ”
