Fangzheng, who was midway already, immediately stopped when he heard that. He stood by the roadside with Red Boy.
Before long, Jing Yan drove over.
Fangzheng recounted the situation to Jing Yan in the car and when they reached the foot of the mountain, Jing Yan left in delight.
"Master, why didn't you brag until the cows come home? This was such a good opportunity," on the way up the mountain, Red Boy asked curiously.
Fangzheng shook his head. "Over-bragging is lying, an act which the heavens punish by smiting lightning. My days wouldn't be good if I did that. But this is enough. Our One Finger Monastery will be turning popular!"
At the mountaintop, Fangzheng closed the monastery's doors when he saw that there were no devotees.
"Jingxin, bring me to Ganfanpen again!" Fangzheng finally said through clenched teeth after some thought.
