The old man cursed loudly and vigorously, but Zeng Guangnan had a wry smile on his face. How could he know the names of these people?
"Chief..."
"Don't call me commander. I have never led soldiers like you. Now you have learned to tell lies. If you had been in the army, I would have kicked you in the face."
"Chief, please calm down. Aren't I afraid that others will disturb you?" Zeng Guangnan had to explain.
"Excuse me, I'm just an old man. Why are you bothering me? If you drive away all the other customers in this store, are you going to make me like the emperors in ancient times who have to clear the streets when I go out?"
The old man became more and more angry as he talked, "Back then, I joined the revolution to conquer the country in order to eliminate this privileged class, but now it's better, I have become a privileged class myself."
When Zeng Guangnan saw that the old man's mood was not right, he quickly apologized, "Chief, I was wrong. I promise I won't do it again in the future."
"Accept the punishment yourself."
The old man glared, and Zeng Guangnan responded. The next moment without any hesitation, he lay down and started doing push-ups with his hands on the ground.
On Fang Ming's side, Chen Ze and Tang Yan were dumbfounded. Zeng Guangnan was probably in his sixties if not seventy, and he was still doing push-ups like a young man at this moment.
Chen Ze and others were shocked by the old man's aura. They stepped lightly and walked towards the door. However, before they could reach the door, the old man's voice came.
"You young men, stop."
The old man suddenly looked towards Fang Ming and the others. As soon as his voice came out, Chen Ze was frightened, but he stood there and did not dare to move.
As a rich second generation, although Chen Ze is a playboy, his knowledge is higher than that of ordinary people. It is not that he has never seen some big shots, but the aura of those big shots cannot be compared with that of this old man. The most important thing is that he has not seen that old man.
Do bosses call this old man chief?
This is someone he can't afford to offend.
"You must be here to eat. Old man, my arrival has caused you to have no food to eat. Old man, I want to apologize to you."
As soon as the old man said this, Chen Ze quickly shook his head, "No... no need, we have just eaten."
"I said you are so young and you are full of lies. If you don't want to eat, then get out."
"this……"
Chen Ze really wanted to answer that he didn't want to eat it, but he didn't dare to say it. The person in front of him seemed to have a very hot temper. Who knew if he would be kicked directly after answering.
"Why, you young people are still afraid that an old man like me will eat you."
Hearing what the old man said, Fang Ming smiled slightly and said, "I don't dare to refuse the elder's gift. Since the old man invites you, we won't be polite."
The old man looked at Fang Ming in surprise, and then said after a while: "You're a little brave, not bad."
The old man walked inside, but the two young men following the old man kept looking at Fang Ming and others, full of vigilance.
After passing through four or five courtyards, Fang Ming and his party finally followed the old man to the innermost courtyard. This courtyard was very large and there was only one private room. The difference was that there was no Buddha statue in this courtyard.
"It's true, Xiao Zeng. I have so many Buddha statues. Old man, I have never believed in Buddhism or God. In the beginning, I relied on the faith in my heart to make the revolution. Now that people have no faith, they have to rely on these gods and Buddhas for blessing."
The old man talked about his dissatisfaction, and at the same time looked at Fang Ming and others, "When Japan invaded, why didn't these gods and Buddhas come out to protect the people? Therefore, these gods and Buddhas have nothing to respect at all. How can people live?"
Relying on oneself, a country and a nation must rely on self-reliance and self-reliance.”
The old man was talking there, and Chen Ze nodded hurriedly. Anyway, he had already thought about it in his heart. He just had to agree with whatever this person said.
"Whether or not to worship gods and Buddhas is a personal choice, but in that era, there were many Taoist monks who went down the mountain to join the war. The so-called Taoist priests in prosperous times and troubled times. Since ancient times, those Taoist monks have never stood by and watched when the country was in crisis."
Fang Ming spoke. He knew that people like Old Man Xiang who came out of the battlefield would not have much respect for gods and Buddhas. In fact, he did not really agree with people's excessive worship of gods and Buddhas. He even went to the police station for this.
To the point of obsession.
For example, many ordinary people have become vegetarians in order to worship Buddha, and they have to divide different dishes made with vegetable oil and meat oil at home every day. But as a result, apart from making themselves yellow and thin, there is no other gain.
Except for Buddhist and Taoist disciples, ordinary people do not need to go to such a crazy level to worship Buddha, unless they have made a wish and finally fulfilled it.
Huaiyuan Shan glanced at Fang Ming in surprise, obviously not expecting Fang Ming to say such a thing.
"From Jiang Shang of the Zhou Dynasty to Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty, to Wang Chongyang, the founder of Quanzhen Sect in the Song Dynasty, and finally Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty, these are all practitioners of Taoism, but they all assisted Mingjun when the country was in crisis.
, to prevent the destruction of living beings.”
"What the little boy said is correct, but there are also Taoist priests in the Cholera State. Xu Fu, who asked Qin Shihuang to find immortality, and later Taoist priests who made elixirs for emperors of various generations."
Fang Ming did not argue with Huaiyuan Shan. No matter which profession you are in, there are good and bad. Some are good and some are bad. Some save the people and some harm the country.
"Chief, I made so many Buddha statues just to pray for our old brothers."
At this time, Zeng Guangnan also came to the courtyard. Hearing the conversation between Huaiyuan Shan and Fang Ming, he quickly explained.
When Huaiyuanshan heard this, his expression suddenly became lonely, "The group of you who followed me at the beginning, now there are only a few left. I sent you away one by one. Let me tell you, you kid
You must come behind me."
"Chief, what are you saying? You will live a long life." Zeng Guangnan said quickly.
"What are you doing if you live a long life? Are you going to visit the graves of you guys?"
Huaiyuanshan's eyes widened, but then he seemed to think of something, "Where's Xiao Wang? Why don't others come out when I'm here?"
"Chief, Lao Wang's current state is not suitable for coming out to see you."
"Fart, bring Xiao Wang out quickly. Believe it or not, I will beat you up."
Zeng Guangnan smiled bitterly and had no choice but to leave. However, the expressions of the two young men standing behind Huaiyuan Mountain suddenly became solemn, and their eyes were fixed on the direction Zeng Guangnan left.
Fang Ming noticed the change in the expressions of the two men, with a look of curiosity in his eyes. From the way they walked in and the alert looks on their faces, he was already sure that these two young men were guards, and they were not ordinary ones.
defend.
Not long after, Zeng Guangnan left and returned. The difference was that this time he brought someone with him. He was also an old man, but compared with Zeng Guangnan, this one looked sluggish and had age spots on his face.
There are so many that it makes one’s heart palpitate just looking at them.
"Xiao Wang."
Seeing the old man's appearance, Huaiyuan Shan had a heartbroken look on his face and was about to step forward. But just when he took two steps and was still one or two meters away from the old man, the old man's demeanor suddenly changed.
He broke free of Zeng Guangnan's hands and rushed toward Huaiyuan Mountain like a vicious wolf.
Although the two young men behind Huaiyuan Mountain took precautions, they did not expect that the old man would suddenly attack. With a distance of four or five meters, it was too late for them to help even if they wanted to.
One of the young men's hands had already touched his waist, but when the old man was less than an inch away from Huaiyuan Mountain, an arm was placed across the middle of the two people, and followed by this arm
With a strong force, the old man was knocked back several steps.
This arm naturally belonged to Fang Ming. The moment the old man went crazy, Fang Ming reacted.
"Protect the chief."
"Everyone stand back!"
The two young men suddenly shouted angrily and blocked Huaiyuan Mountain behind them. Their eyes not only stared at the crazy old man with caution, but also focused more on Fang Ming.
Because they had made a mistake earlier, the young man's immediate reaction was to tell them that the other party was also a practicing practitioner, and a very powerful one at that.
A powerful and unknown Lianjiazi appeared next to the leader. This was a dereliction of duty on their part. Therefore, they could not let him get close to the leader under any circumstances before they were sure of his identity.
Fang Ming didn't pay attention to the wary looks of the two young men, but walked up to the crazy old man. The next moment, he trapped the old man's hands with one hand, and pressed the other hand on the old man's Tianling Cap.
Because everything happened suddenly, Chen Ze and others didn't react and just looked at it blankly.
"Everyone get out of the way."
Huaiyuanshan shouted towards the two young men.
"Chief, the identity of the other party is unknown..."
"Fart, if he wants to harm me, he just didn't take action when Xiao Wang went crazy just now."
Huaiyuanshan directly pushed away his guard. As a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, he could feel it.
The two guards had no choice but to retreat, and then Huaiyuanshan saw Fang Ming, who had his hands on Lao Wang.
"Hey, Xiao Wang calmed down so quickly?"
Huaiyuan Mountain was a little unbelievable. In the past, when his little king went crazy, it would take his two guards a long time to subdue him. It would take at least half an hour.
"Boss Zeng, please come over with those incense ashes."
Fang Ming's expression also became serious. The situation of the old man in front of him was more serious than he imagined.
"Oh...oh okay."
Zeng Guangnan was stunned for a while before he reacted, and then he quickly ran towards the way he came from. After a while, he ran over with an incense burner in his hand.
There are many Buddha statues enshrined in his shop, so there is not a lot of incense ashes in the incense burner. If you change to other places, you may not be able to find incense ashes temporarily.
