Chapter 86: It's really cheap
The happy and peaceful atmosphere in the middle hall was once again disturbed by Fang Yantao's crow's mouth, and when he thought of today's twists and turns of the birthday banquet, Li Mingyuan suddenly had the urge to pick up the bench and smash this Fang Yantao to death.
"What are you talking about, repeat what you just said!" Li Mingyuan walked to Fang Yantao's side murderously and said. He has always been the kind of person who has a great sense of belonging, the Hou Mansion treats him well, and he also regards the Hou Mansion as his home, who dares to bully his family, he will never let that person have a good time!
Seeing Li Mingyuan's fierce and vicious appearance, Fang Yantao suddenly felt empty, looked at Ma Yangping as if asking for help, and then stammered, "I didn't say anything, I said, I said, by the way, I said that the Golden Buddha you sent is too vulgar, if it is the Jade Buddha, it is fine, and the words of the Golden Buddha seem too vulgar, and it deserves the praise of the old lady!" Fang Yantao was finally not stupid enough to offend everyone by saying that one-handed raccoon dog, but cleverly changed the topic.
Seeing that this Fang Yantao was not too stupid, Li Mingyuan decided to face this opponent squarely, but he was carrying the expectations of the entire Hou Mansion, and he couldn't be sloppy!
"Brother Fang said this, but it seems that you are ignorant, countless temples in the world do not use gold as the decoration of Buddha statues. Do you know why this is the way, because gold and even pure and pure things are not only liked by ordinary people, but even the Buddha also likes them, so there is an allusion that believers spread gold bricks and ask the Buddha to show up to preach the Dharma. May I ask Brother Fang, why do you say that my golden Buddha is a mundane thing? Li Mingyuan looked at Fang Yantao as if he was looking at a gentleman who didn't learn or know, which made Fang Yantao ashamed and indignant.
Li Mingyuan's allusion to the believer laying gold bricks and inviting the Buddha to show up to teach the Dharma is actually from Journey to the West, but he doesn't remember what the specific details are, but even so, it is more than enough to fool Fang Yantao, anyway, this guy doesn't understand Buddhism.
Originally, Li Mingyuan had successfully bluffed Fang Yantao, but unexpectedly, he forgot about someone. It's none other than his defeated subordinates, who are too guarded by Ma Yangping.
Seeing that Fang Yantao was cleverly forced into a dead end by Li Mingyuan, Ma Yangping couldn't sit still, Fang Zhiyi handed over his only son to himself, if he sat back and watched Fang Yantao being cleaned up, it would be difficult to explain when he went back to his own state pastor, and said with a shy old face at the moment, "Elder Sudata paves the ground with gold bricks, and asks the Buddha to preach the Dharma, which is to express his devotion to the Buddha, focusing on the word piety!" ”
Ma Yangping seemed to be impartial in what he said, but in fact he was helping Fang Yantao find the loophole in Li Mingyuan's words, and Fang Yantao, who was already unable to parry, heard this, his eyes lit up, revealing a smile for the rest of his life.
"Ma Yangping, greet your attending doctor for me!" Li Mingyuan glared at Ma Yangping viciously, and the latter showed a weak smile, and obediently lowered his head, as if what he said just now was not what he said.
"Li Mingyuan, how do you explain Ma Taishou's words?" Fang Yantao looked like a villain, and everyone present looked sideways and looked at him with disdain.
"Obviously I want to flatter, and it is true to give gold and silver gifts, but it is also high-sounding, what kind of Buddha I climb, it can't help but be funny!" Seeing that Li Mingyuan couldn't answer, Fang Yantao took advantage of the victory to chase after him, his words were so ugly that he directly offended everyone present, and the angry Ma Yangping scolded stupidity in his heart.
Since Li Mingyuan came to this world, he has never lost the upper hand in a battle of words with anyone, and only after General Fang Yantao has offended all of you here, did he say indifferently, "Brother Fang still has time to read more books, you run out and wander around with a little understanding, do your parents know the Tao at home?" ”
Everyone was amused by Li Mingyuan's vignette, and of course Fang Yantao couldn't laugh, Li Mingyuan wanted this effect, seeing that his opponent was in a good mood, he had to find a way not to make him feel good, this is one of the principles of life.
"In front of the Buddha, all living beings are equal, my grandmother is a person who is devout to the Buddha, I, who is a grandson, as a younger generation, bathed and fasted on my grandmother's birthday and asked for the golden Buddha to give to her old man, in order to show filial piety, do you say I am pious or not?" After saying a word, many people nodded with emotion, and the old lady was no exception.
Fang Yantao didn't eat Li Mingyuan's set, he sneered and teased, "Since you said that you are religious, then let me ask you, how many sentences of Amitabha Buddha are in a "Diamond Sutra"? ”
As soon as this remark came out, it caused an uproar again, and everyone was a little skeptical that this supposedly talented Fang Yantao was not a scoundrel after all, otherwise how could he come up with such a no-asshole problem.
The old lady looked at Fang Yantao, and was already thinking about what method he would use to blast this unhappy guy out of the Hou Mansion later.
If you are an ordinary person, you may really be stumped by Fang Yantao's question, but unfortunately Li Mingyuan is a reborn person, and this kind of pediatric problem that is not even as good as a brain teaser is difficult for him.
"Chanting the Buddha is originally a heart to the Buddha. How can anyone weigh every word to calculate how many of these repeated sentences are there? Brother Fang is also known as erudite and talented, presumably the Four Books and Five Classics are also familiar with the heart, right? Li Mingyuan showed his signature wicked smile, Zhao Honglang, who was sitting in the back, couldn't help but tremble in his heart, he knew what bad idea he was fighting as a student, and he couldn't help but cast a self-conscious look at Fang Yantao, who was proud.
Fang Yantao smiled arrogantly and said, "That's nature, if you have anything you want to ask, just say it!" ”
"Okay, Brother Fang is really powerful, I don't have any problems, just ask a simple one, how many people are in the "Four Books"?" Li Mingyuan said with a look of ignorance.
Hearing Li Mingyuan's question, Fang Yantao's smile suddenly stiffened on his face, he didn't expect that Li Mingyuan, this kid, would be such a careful master, and as soon as he finished calculating him with his front foot, people would come to the door with his back foot.
"Uh......" Listening to Li Mingyuan's question, Fang Yantao was suddenly speechless, a "Four Books", he really memorized it backwards, but he had never done such a boring thing as counting how many people in it, and now Li Mingyuan asked, do you want him to read the words on the spot and pinch his fingers to calculate?
Seeing Fang Yantao's difficult straw bag, everyone present felt that they had finally breathed a sigh in their hearts, if they weren't afraid of Fang Yantao's father's power, they were afraid that many people would laugh out loud.
"Let you kid be sassy, what's the matter, kick the iron plate, right? My student is such a powerful character that a nerd like you can fight? Zhao Honglang despised Fang Yantao in his heart, gave Li Mingyuan an appreciative look, and continued to drink contentedly, but if he knew that Li Mingyuan didn't even know where he was sitting, would he have a stroke and fall to the ground directly.
