The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism
chapter-1163

Ji Xiang believed that if this had been done by a human, then it must have been done by that magical monk.

Ji Xiang didn't stay in the village. Instead, she followed Uncle Iron out. Everyone wanted to see what this magical path of nature looked like.

Everyone was astonished when they saw the arches and the bridge formed by trees.

Uncle Iron only came back in the evening. When he returned, he had a strange look on his face. He placed Xi's corpse in the coffin and left it at home. He then found Ji Xiang and Ji Han and kept asking them how they met Chang Feng.

Ji Han was stunned. "On our way back, Brother Chang was sitting behind us. Uncle Iron, what's wrong?"

But as soon as he said that, Ji Han felt that something was amiss. He frowned and thought about it carefully before saying with some confusion, "That's not right. When we boarded the bus, there was no one there…"

With that said, a veil seemed to be lifted from Ji Han and Ji Xiang's memories. Their blurry memories suddenly became clearer.

Ji Xiang also said, "Yes, I remember now. The spot where Brother Changfeng was sitting was originally occupied by the cashier lady. It was left empty when the lady went to the front to chat with the driver. Brother Chang… seemed to have… suddenly appeared there. But back then, we all imagined… Sigh, I can't explain it clearly either. In short, no one noticed how he suddenly appeared, nor did anyone pay attention to this matter. It was as if he had been there all along."

Upon saying this, the scene of Chang Feng turning into a monk flashed across Ji Xiang's mind. She became even more flustered. Was that a god or a ghost?

Ji Han asked, "Grandpa Iron, do you know something?"

Grandpa Iron lit a pipe. Although he had quit smoking for a very long time, he still took it out at this moment to take a puff. He nodded and said, "I have something in mind, but I can't be sure what is real and what isn't anymore."

Ji Han said, "Grandpa Iron, what's going on? Tell me. I'm dying of anxiety."

Uncle Iron said, "I went to Hengxin Corporation, and their company's manager received me and apologized and asked if the compensation had been paid. I asked them about Chang Feng and wanted to speak up for him. Guess what he said?"

"What did he say?" Ji Han asked.

Uncle Iron smiled bitterly and said, "They also just received news that Chang Feng drove here. Two days ago, his car lost control in the mountains. When they found him, he had already… Sigh."

Upon hearing this, Ji Han jolted and shouted. "Then, could the Brother Chang we met have been a ghost?"

Uncle Iron shook his head and said, "I don't know either. When he was here, there wasn't anything different about him. Also, the money he gave me was real. I heard from the manager that when the rescue team brought Chang Feng out, the money was no longer in Chang Feng's hands. They thought that it had been stolen or robbed, so they reported the case. When they heard that the money was given to me by Chang Feng, they were perplexed."

Ji Xiang lowered her head and said, "Could it have been someone else who disguised himself as Brother Chang to fulfill his last wishes?"

"That's impossible. I saw Chang Feng's photo. The two of them were identical, and from what I gathered, even their voices were identical. People also described him as a kind and gentle person. If it wasn't to give us the money, he wouldn't have… Sigh." Uncle Iron kept sighing.

At the same time, on the Internet.

Later on, Hengxin Corporation finally realized that the netizens on the Internet had made a mistake. Chang Feng wasn't a bad person and was actually a hero. With Uncle Iron's arrival and the news of Chang Feng's death, it left Hengxin Corporation dumbfounded.

It was unknown if they were rectifying an error or afraid that Chang Feng would look for them in the middle of the night to talk about how they fired him.

Hengxin Corporation immediately released news of Chang Feng's death.

This was like a stone that stirred up a thousand ripples as the entire Internet exploded into a frenzy!

"How is that possible? He died two days ago? Who was the one who cleverly thwarted the traffickers on the bus that day? Could it be fake news?"

The teenager stepped forward and clarified. "There were others there back then. They can testify for me. The video is definitely real!"

"What's up with Hengxin Corporation's statement? Why did someone who's been dead for an entire day appear again?"

"I'm stunned. Who is the one lying? Hengxin Corporation has shown evidence of the accident and the photos. The OP also provided live videos, and there were so many witnesses… Could it be that Chang Feng's spirit refused to leave and insisted on sending the money over?"

"A ghost? Impossible, right? It happened in broad daylight."

"Actually, it was already afternoon and almost evening, alright? Maybe the more ferocious ghosts are able to come out in the afternoon already?"

…

The debate continued. As the news spread, some Yunnan reporters also began to step in. Some of them found the driver back then who recounted what had happened. However, before the reporter left, the driver mumbled. "Oh right, the next morning, I saw a white-robed monk flash before my eyes. I wonder if my mind was playing tricks on me."

A reporter that heard it thought nothing of it.

There were also reporters who sought out the Lahu tribe to ask about the situation.

The moment they entered the mountain and saw the path of nature, they were completely stunned. The cameras in their hands did not stop snapping photos. They kept taking pictures, completely forgetting what they were there for.

When the reporters arrived at the Lahu tribe, they received news from the officials to let the matter rest and to stop hyping the matter.

At the same time, an official explanation was given: "The video was taken a few days ago. The accident happened later…"

When the netizens saw this, they were enlightened. Everything made sense. The others who were still digging up this matter suddenly relaxed and stopped investigating.

There were only a few people who insisted on continuing investigating, digging up the suspicious aspects of the official statement. However, they were soon drowned out by the subsequent news.

"A path of nature found in Yunnan. Nature's art is fully showcased here!"

"A natural miracle. There's actually such a path deep in the mountains!"

"The most beautiful path in the world!"

"A divine road that's peerless, definitely the best in the world!"

As the photos of the path of nature were exposed, they caused a huge stir in China. Countless people cast their gazes over. The locals of Yunnan drove overnight to visit. Instantly, tourists swarmed the place.

There was no way to travel the mountain path by car, so people got out of their cars and walked along the road to enjoy themselves. When they reached the end, they realized miserably that the sky had turned dark! They could not return!

Hence, these people all requested to stay. The Lahu people were instantly dumbfounded. Although they were warm and hospitable, there was no way they could accommodate so many people at once!

However, when these excited and exhausted people saw the Lahu people's bonfire, they refused to leave.

Furthermore, all of them began waving their cash. Whatever free-range chicken, duck, pork, wild boar meat, and peasants were snatched up at high prices, even the pickled vegetables!
