The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lone Wolf was rendered speechless. All he could do was speed up…

Scrapped Car wailed all the way. “You have crossed it! Too far! Go back! The gas station is behind!”

Half an hour later…

“Boohoo… You liars, you don’t even let me eat when I left with you. Are you guys even human?” At this moment, Scrapped Car had already understood that it had crossed the Rubicon.

Fangzheng patted the steering wheel and consoled, “Alright, stop crying.”

“Can I not cry? If you hadn’t eaten for years, wouldn’t you be hungry? You are abusing a rare car. Do you know that? If I were an animal, you would all be criminals! If I were a human, you would all be human traffickers… Boohoo…” Scrapped Car wailed as its horn sounded. It was an extremely ear-piercing horn. It made Fangzheng, Lone Wolf, and Salted Fish extremely vexed.

Finally, Salted Fish couldn’t take it anymore. “Master, why don’t you give him a mouthful of gasoline…”

Fangzheng said helplessly, “I’ve already used all my money to redeem him. Do I buy gasoline using you?”

Salted Fish said, “But we can’t just let him starve. If he starves to death, dissecting him wouldn’t be useful.”

Scrapped Car shouted, “I want to eat! I want to eat! I protest, I want to eat!”

Lone Wolf said, “Master, what do we do? Why don’t I eat it and let us have some peace?”

The alarm went off when Scrapped Car heard that. Then, it whispered, “I want to eat…”

Salted Fish said in an aged manner, “What food can you eat when there’s no money? Bear with it!”

Lone Wolf added, “I’m towing you. I haven’t even complained. Why are you shouting? Bear with it!”

Fangzheng said, “Amitabha.”

Half a day later…

By the side of the road, Lone Wolf was sprawled on the ground. Salted Fish was hugging his fins. Scrapped Car stared at Fangzheng…

“Master, we’re hungry! Give some food!” the trio shouted in unison.

Fangzheng was helpless as well. With all the money gone, how was he to eat?

Hence, Fangzheng said, “Just bear with it. Once we enter the city, we can think of another solution.”

“Master, I’m so hungry that I can’t walk, much less pull a car. Let him run by himself,” Lone Wolf said bitterly.

When Scrapped Car heard that, it exclaimed, “I don’t even have gas. How can I run?”

Fangzheng felt helpless as well. Furthermore, it was indeed troublesome to bring so many freaks to walk along the streets. At the very least, he had to activate A Golden Millet Dream to cover his tracks.

Although his spiritual power was much better than before, it was still not a solution…

Helpless, Fangzheng could only summon Red Boy again.

“Master, what’s up?” Red Boy asked.

“Bring your Eldest Senior Brother back.”

“Master, aren’t you going back with us?” asked Lone Wolf.

Salted Fish added, “Master, it seems like there’s nothing needed of me. Why don’t I go back too…”

Fangzheng glared at him and said, “Since you followed me down the mountain, how can you be in a rush to return? Stay here obediently!”

Salted Fish had no choice but to stay.

Scrapped Car said, “Master, what about me?”

Fangzheng thought for a moment and said, “If I send you back, you will still starve without gasoline. Follow This Penniless Monk. There’s always a way for you to eat your fill…”

Scrapped Car said emotionally, “Thank you, Master…”

When Red Boy saw that he was no longer needed, he flew off with Lone Wolf who was so happy that he nearly jumped up.

Salted Fish watched enviously as Red Boy left with Lone Wolf. He sighed and said, “Master, although there’s one less glutton, the problem hasn’t been resolved yet. We’re hungry. Why didn’t you get Fourth Senior Brother to bring some food over?”

However, Fangzheng said, “Before we resolve the problem of gasoline, no one can eat!”

When Salted Fish heard that, he rolled his eyes and lay motionless.

“Salted Fish, what’s wrong?” Scrapped Car asked.

Salted Fish rolled his eyes. “Can’t you see… I’m a real salted fish now. I died of starvation…”

Scrapped Car: “…”

When Scrapped Car saw this scene, he felt a little guilty. The monk and his disciples had helped him despite not having any ties with him. He really did not know what to say.

At this moment, two people came over carrying two boxes.

“We are abandoning all of this?” one asked.

“We can’t have it. Someone will come inspect later. If this industrial alcohol is found, we’ll all be imprisoned,” another person said in a low voice. “Hurry up and throw it away. If we’re lucky, things are fine. We can pick it up later. It can still be used.”

“Got it. Brother Xi is the best. You know everything,” said the swarthy man with a chuckle.

“Little Qin, if you follow me in the future, I’ll let you have fun with the women at the health center every day!” Brother Xi chuckled.

Little Qin also laughed…

Fangzheng pricked up his brows when he heard that. What was happening?

Fangzheng’s bald head raced rapidly…

Industrial alcohol?

Imprisoned?

Can still be used?

There’s a problem!

Fangzheng kicked Salted Fish and said, “Hide well. I’ll follow them to take a look. There’s something wrong with these people.”

“Got it, Master…” Salted Fish said weakly.

The moment Fangzheng left, Salted Fish got up. He looked around, looked at Scrapped Car, and finally looked at the industrial alcohol. He smiled.

Scrapped Car asked, “What are you doing?”

Salted Fish chuckled and said, “We can’t afford gasoline. Try this. Perhaps we can make do with it…”

“Get lost! This is alcohol, not gasoline!” exclaimed Scrapped Car.

“Aren’t they all used to light a fire? Alcohol is also flammable… Besides, I’ve heard people say that industrial alcohol is produced from petrochemicals. Gasoline also comes from oil as well. They are all born from the same mother, so it should be useful. Try it first. If it’s not good, we’ll think of another solution!” As Salted Fish spoke, he opened the lid of the gas tank and poured a bottle in.

Scrapped Car was shocked. “Stop! Stop! F**k, what’s this smell? Eh…”

Boom!

Just as Scrapped Car was shouting, he instinctively wanted to run. However, his gas tank had been filled. In his anxiety, he actually managed to ignite the engine. Following that, he darted forward for a distance!

Salted Fish laughed when he saw that. “I knew it. It’s the same!”

Scrapped Car snorted and said, “Same my ass. It tastes f**king awful!”

“Even if it tastes awful, it’s better than starving to death. Come on, bro, it’s all yours!” Salted Fish happily carried the two boxes of industrial alcohol over and downed them one by one…

Just as Salted Fish said, no matter how disgusting it was, it was better than starving to death. Scrapped Car endured the pain and got Salted Fish to fill his gas tank to the brim. Then, he tried to ignite his engine, and as expected, it succeeded. It was just that it was a little groggy while driving, and the steering wheel was a little disobedient…

Fangzheng didn’t know that with Salted Fish’s antics, Scrapped Car could already run…

At that moment, he was following Brother Xi and Little Qin forward. He entered a village and turned a few alleys before finally arriving at a completely sealed courtyard.

The door was pitch-black and was two meters tall. The thick metal skin looked sturdy.
