The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Chapter 1287 - Mt. One Finger Is Going Viral Again



Chapter 1287: Mt. One Finger Is Going Viral Again

Even though some of the old tourists had seen it and it was no longer fresh, to the new visitors, it was still something new!

It was equally new to everyone in China!

Therefore, the people who came to One Finger Monastery no longer just came for the morning bell and the evening drum, the fog from Heavenly Dragon Pond, One Finger Monastery’s tranquility, the bodhi tree’s miracle, or to cast their gaze on the mystery of the medical stone slab. It had the addition of looking at the bamboo forest’s elegance.

Of course, everyone’s goal when looking into the bamboo forest was to see the darn baldy inside.

“Have you heard? Master Fangzheng is carving things in the bamboo forest. He has been doing it seriously for many days.”

“I heard about it too. I wonder what he’s carving.”

“Anyway, it’s definitely not an ordinary item. I heard that the best carving master in One Finger Village, Master Ma, is only Fangzheng’s disciple. Master Ma said that what he learned was only a drop in the bucket.”

“What? Master Ma’s works are now sold for tens of thousands of yuan. Some are even worth hundreds of thousands! His works are just a drop in the bucket compared to Master Fangzheng? Then how good is Master Fangzheng’s carvings? He spent so much time and effort. Tsk, tsk… I’m afraid it will cost a million, right?”

“What do you know? Abbot Fangzheng is a person with divine powers. He’s a projection of Bodhisattva in the human world. The world is unique! There will never be such a monk again in the future. You can say that this is a carving left behind by Buddha in the mortal world. This is the most precious thing! It’s not for any other reason. With Fangzheng’s fame, this carving is probably worth tens of millions!”

“If Master’s production is high, the price might not be high. If the production is low, if this item is passed down, it will definitely be priceless after several generations!”

Everyone had different views, but no one denied the value of the item Fangzheng was investing great amounts of time and effort into!

Thus, countless people craned their necks to look inside, trying to figure out something.

Lone Wolf just didn’t want anyone to disturb Fangzheng. If they were far away, he wouldn’t stop them.

Hence, many people brought their own equipment such as zoom lenses. They took pictures from afar…

Hence, some photos started appearing on the Internet.

“What is this?”

“It looks like scales.”

“No, it looks like the armor of ancient generals…”

“No, that’s not right. The patterns on it are very unique. It seems to be a pattern that is combined with the other pieces of armor. Unfortunately, I can’t see the whole image…”

“I’m not interested in patterns. I’m only interested in the Frost Bamboo! How is this bamboo? It’s clearly living jade!”

“It’s beautiful!”

Therefore, everyone discussed what Fangzheng was doing. This brought the topic back to the quality of Frost Bamboo at the mountaintop.

At the same time, an advertisement broke the calm. This was because the advertisement had directly been aired during prime time at the most popular television stations!

It was an aerial video of Mt. One Finger, One Finger Monastery, and the Frost Bamboo forest…

Then, the scene changed. In the Frost Bamboo forest, a woman was elegantly brewing tea. However, what she was holding wasn’t ordinary tea leaves. Instead, they were yellowed tea leaves that looked like grass…

“Pfft! After watching One Finger Monastery’s scenery all day, I thought there would be something nice. It turns out that it’s just some grass… These people really put in a lot of effort to make use of the reputation of One Finger Monastery’s Master Indecent to make a fortune. They should just say it directly. Unfortunately, they treat people as idiots. Master, what tea is this?” a man commented as he skillfully brewed tea while shaking his head.

An old man sat by the side. He was calm and composed, his face gentle. His silver hair made him look especially spirited, and his movements were natural and charming. The way he picked up the teacup and was much better than the young man.

When the old man heard the young man’s words, he raised his head and looked up. He shook his head slightly and said, “I’ve traveled the world and tasted the teas from many places, but even I don’t dare to say that I’ve tasted all kinds of tea. However, I have tasted most of them. But this tea… I have never seen it before.”

The man smiled and said, “Master, if you don’t even know about it, it must be a new product. In this day and age, many people are making concept teas, but all of them are trash!”

The elder was about to nod when his pupils suddenly widened!

When the man saw the old man’s reaction, he also looked over. In the advertisement, the tea leaves that the woman took out were released into boiling spring water. At that instant, it was like magic.

The dried tea leaves that resembled grass and nothing special sucked in the moisture and instantly recovered. The withered yellow colors faded, turning into a tender green color. The curled leaves unfurled into tender sprouts! It was like a rebirth!

“This…” The man said in surprise, “Could this be a new breed of ligustrum robustum tea?”

The elder shook his head and said, “No! That kind of tea is a type of kuding tea. I’ve tasted a lot of those, so it’s impossible that I don’t remember its appearance. The two are completely different!”

Just as the man was about to speak, the woman in the commercial picked up the teapot and looked towards the sunlight.

The man frowned. “This isn’t the way tea is brewed…”

“Don’t say anything, look!” The old man was especially excited. He carefully observed the tea leaves on the screen. The tea leaves were crystal clear under the sunlight, and every tea leaf seemed to be carved by a master from jade! What was even more amazing was that within the tea leaves was a green liquid. It was so beautiful that it made one subconsciously lick their tongues, their appetites whet.

The woman poured the tea leaves into a white-sided tea cup with a black bottom. The tea was clear, making a huge contrast with the white tea cup and black soil-like bottom. The green tea leaves floated above, like a beautiful bonsai growing on black dirt. It made one’s eyes light up!

In the next moment, a few words finally appeared on the screen: “Frost Bamboo Tea, the feeling of jade.”

“It looks good, but it might not taste good,” mumbled the man.

However, his master had already stood up and left!

The man shouted, “Master, what are you doing?”

“Go to One Finger Monastery and have tea!” The elder pushed open the door and walked out.

“Master, wait for me!” The man quickly got up and chased after him.

However, the master and disciple did not see the words at the end of the advertisement. “Only 250 grams of top-grade Frost Bamboo tea leaves are produced a year. It’s more precious than Da Hong Pao. It’s a luxury that exceeds gold.”

It wasn’t just the master and disciple duo. As the advertisement was revealed, many tea-brewing enthusiasts began to find out more to know where Frost Bamboo tea was sold.

In the end, a group of people who had been whet realized that there was no such tea sold on the market!

Just as everyone was about to denounce the scam, a piece of news came from the northeast. “The Frost Bamboo Tea Festival is about to be held in Songwu County. Calling out to all distribution vendors.”

Upon hearing this news, countless vendors or tea enthusiasts swarmed over. Instantly, Songwu County became popular…
