Chapter 1354: Large Scale Construction
Furthermore, Fangzheng wasn’t running a tourist attraction . There was no need for him to make an elevator charge to earn money .
Therefore, Fangzheng decisively shook his head and said, “Forget about that . Mt . One Finger isn’t that high . If they really wish to come, it only takes an hour . Compared to the famous mountain that requires an entire day’s climb, it’s already very easy . As for the elevator, it really destroys the scenery . Furthermore, there’s no need to . ”
Wang Yougui nodded when he heard that . “I share the same thoughts . Since you have said so, it’s decided . By the way, when do you plan on expanding the monastery? If you expand it, the monastery will probably be locked up for a while . There’s so much timber and labor workers that will be up the mountain . If there are visitors, there will be danger . ”
Fangzheng said, “Then do it quick . To be honest, This Penniless Monk has been looking forward to this day . ”
Wang Yougui said with a smile, “Alright, let’s do it the day after tomorrow . I’ll release an announcement in the next two days to have the mountain sealed temporarily so that everyone won’t know about it and not make a wasted trip . ”
Fangzheng nodded . The two of them agreed happily .
Indeed, once Wang Yougui left, the notification was made .
The next day, the mountain exploded with people…
There was a sea of people…
Fangzheng, who had planned on going out to take a breather, immediately gave up . He quietly hid in the backyard .
Squirrel went out to ask around and bitterly ran back . “Master, everyone knows that we’re going to seal the mountain for a while, so those who were free came here . Those who weren’t free squeezed time to come over . It’s as though we won’t open again once we seal the mountain…”
Fangzheng was rendered speechless . He never expected this to be the reason for the packed crowd .
Knowing the reason, Fangzheng felt relieved .
On the third day—the day the mountain would be sealed—the mountain suddenly became quiet . Fangzheng was used to seeing crowds watching him strike the morning bell and evening drum . Now that it was empty, Fangzheng and Monkey felt somewhat uncomfortable .
Thankfully, they were all monks . They could adjust their mindsets the fastest and quickly adapt to the peace and quiet…
On the fourth day, the construction team began moving the materials up the mountain .
Everyone knew that Fangzheng had divine powers . Therefore, Fangzheng did not need any mortal divine powers . He directly came to the mountaintop and looked down…
At the same time, there were many villagers gathered at the foot of the mountain . They were all willing to help with the materials .
The construction team also arrived . Some of the old experts looked at the materials in front of them with a look of cherish . Some even secretly wiped their tears as they mumbled, “What a waste! Such good material is used to build a monastery? Who has this merit to live in such a building? Aren’t they afraid of suffering heaven’s punishment?”
“Old Sun, that’s enough . Let’s not talk about this . Since they have money, we should just do the work . ” An old man patted Old Sun on the shoulder .
Old Sun sighed and said, “Sigh, I’ve been dealing with all sorts of precious materials in my life . In the past, I used to look at the finished product and help repair it . But now, I suddenly have to do it myself and make this top-grade material into something… Sigh, my heart aches . Tell me, it would be fine if it was used to build something meaningful, but to build a monastery? Sigh…”

The elder whispered, “Old Sun, don’t say that . This monastery is different from the others . It’s said that the monk in this monastery has Dharmic powers and divine powers . Furthermore, he has done lots of good deeds . The locals really respect him . It’s fine if you tell me this, but don’t tell others to avoid trouble . ”
Old Sun said disapprovingly, “Old Ma, I’m already so old . Is there a need to mince my words? My heart really aches for these materials… As for the divine powers you mentioned, you believe that? Perhaps this monk is really well-respected and really has boundless merit, but what does the materials have to do with his merit? The world is only this big . To use wood of such quality in other places will make them the best of the best, things that will last for ages . But now, it’s used to build a house . Tell me, isn’t this a waste…”
Old Ma nodded . “There are also thousand-year-old ancient monasteries…”
“Those may be good, but the times are different . Who would look at a pillar now? It’s better to make it into an exquisite object that can be transported for people to see,” Old Sun said .
“Alright, that’s enough . Stop thinking about it . The employer is rich and willing to donate . What else can we say?” Old Ma said .
Old Sun nodded and said, “I know . I’m just complaining . I’ll visit Abbot Fangzheng later . He’s so young, so I want to see what capabilities he has that makes so many people respect him . ”
Old Ma said, “Yes, he’s so young . He’s also considered a legendary figure . ”
Old Sun nodded and said, “Legendary… I hope he lives up to his name . I’ve seen many people like him before . ”
Just as the two of them were talking, someone suddenly shouted, “Everyone, stop . There’s no need to move anymore . Put down all the materials and don’t move them anymore . ”
Upon hearing that, Old Ma, Old Sun, and the workers who were preparing to move the material were all stunned .

Someone asked, “Are we not moving anymore? Or are we not building it?”
“Brother, don’t joke around . If we don’t move this up the mountain, we’ll have to use a helicopter,” someone said with a laugh .
As the head of the construction team, Old Ma immediately went forward and asked, “Village Chief Wang, what’s going on? We have limited construction time . I think it’s best we move the materials up the mountain as soon as possible . With so many workers here, we can’t just wait here, right?”
Wang Yougui said with a smile, “Captain Ma, don’t be anxious . Don’t worry . You may be anxious, but I’m even more anxious . Every day One Finger Monastery is sealed, the less we earn . ”
Old Ma nodded . He understood what Wang Yougui meant and asked, “Then, what’s going on?”
Wang Yougui pointed at the mountaintop and said, “It’s nothing . The abbot of One Finger Monastery, Master Fangzheng, thinks that it’s too slow and tiring for everyone to move the materials . Therefore, he plans to personally move them up . Therefore, there’s no need to move the materials . Just move aside . ”
“Master Fangzheng is moving it by himself? We aren’t needed in the moving?” Old Ma felt that his brain couldn’t keep up . He subconsciously asked, “Abbot Fangzheng got a helicopter?”
Wang Yougui shook his head and said, “I don’t think so . There are no helicopters nearby . ”
Old Ma asked, “If he’s not using a helicopter, is he going to use a pulley to hoist the materials up? But the mountain doesn’t have such equipment, right?”
With that said, Old Ma looked up at the mountaintop . Indeed, there wasn’t a place on the mountain that was used to hang a pulley . Instead, he saw a white-robed monk standing on the mountaintop .

Old Ma looked up and the others looked up as well . Someone recognized Fangzheng and shouted loudly, “Look, it’s Abbot Fangzheng!”
“It’s really him . The white robe is too obvious . ”
“Isn’t Abbot Fangzheng moving himself? Why isn’t he down here?”
“Don’t tell me they’re joking? I’ve been to so many construction sites, but I haven’t seen any employer move things themselves . ”
“Could it be a divine power?”
