416: Does Buddhism have an IQ of zero?

Chapter 416: Is Buddhism's IQ Zero?

Lu Ran’s voice wasn’t loud, but the scene had just quieted down.

So, it still sounded a bit jarring.

The crowd immediately stirred.

Someone cursed:

“Damn it, who is it? Are you blind?”

“Everyone has seen the effect of this Buddhist amulet, what are you still questioning?”

“Are you from the Daoist Association? How shameless!”

“Who said that? Step out, don’t be a coward!”

“I’m really impressed, everyone saw the effect.”

“Why does someone still say it’s fake? If it’s fake, don’t buy it!”

“Yes, yes, just don’t snatch it from me.”

…

Amidst the clamor of the crowd.

Lu Ran lazily shouted again, “Oh, don’t even mention it, I wouldn’t even want this kind of trash even if it was given to me for free, let alone snatching it. If you believe in this trash, you can keep it and play with it yourselves.”

Lu Ran spoke again.

Immediately, the surrounding crowd pinpointed who was speaking.

Not far from Lu Ran.

A big man glared and cursed, “Kid, are you looking for death? A dog of Daoism, daring to question Buddhism!”

After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves, pushed aside a few people, and rushed towards Lu Ran.

Several other people around also followed, intending to join in and deal with Lu Ran amidst the chaos.

Cheng Maixiang, somewhat scared, huddled into Lu Ran’s embrace.

Cen Yu Nuo, on the other hand, was unperturbed, watching calmly.

She naturally knew.

Given Lu Ran’s personality, he wouldn't stand there and take a beating.

And indeed, Lu Ran wouldn't stand there and take a beating.

Watching the big man rush in front of Lu Ran.

He raised his fist, ready to strike.

“Get lost!”

Lu Ran barked.

With a single push.

Bang!

The big man, like a bowling ball, knocked over a large group of people behind him!

The several people who were originally planning to get closer immediately almost jumped up as if their tails had been stepped on!

Scared, they quickly retreated.

Immediately.

Around Lu Ran, a several-meter vacuum appeared.

It was difficult for them.

In such a crowded place, they could still clear out such a large area.

Lu Ran was stunned.

He looked around in surprise; with that push, he had originally intended to directly use a skill.

But he didn't expect the effect to be so explosive.

But immediately.

Lu Ran understood.

Although he was a mage, among his four-dimensional attributes, his intelligence attribute was the highest.

But his strength attribute wasn't low either!

His entire set of equipment, several holy artifacts, had added quite a bit of strength attribute.

This strength was definitely not low!

Although strength most directly increases physical attack.

Lu Ran’s own physical strength had also increased significantly.

The monk on the stage frowned, staring at Lu Ran.

He said, “Who is this person? He shouldn’t be a believer of my Tianlong Gate, right? Someone arranged by the Daoist Association?”

Lu Ran lazily said, “I am a Daoist, but not just a Daoist. As for the Daoist Association, yes, I am. But now you don’t need to talk about that with me. Aren’t you trying to prove whether your Buddhist artifact is useful? How can you prove it by wearing it yourself? Let these believers of yours wear it, and then you attack them and try. Otherwise, who knows if the protective effect just now came from the Buddhist artifact or from your own Buddhist magic?”

As soon as these words were spoken.

The monk’s expression instantly turned ugly.

Having their scheme directly exposed was indeed very embarrassing.

The surrounding crowd also seemed to have come to their senses.

“That seems to make some sense?”

“Putting aside whether it makes sense, how can this kid be so strong!”

“So, he’s a Daoist. It seems he has some skill.”

“I am willing to be a test subject. Give me the Buddhist artifact, let me test it!”

“I am willing too, let me wear it, attack me and try!”

“I believe Buddhism would not deceive me!”

…

The effect had been achieved.

There were still some who questioned.

And some who were willing to be guinea pigs for testing.

But Buddhism was in a difficult position.

That Buddhist amulet was useless, had no effect whatsoever.

If these ordinary people wore it, one punch would have killed them!

Fortunately, Lu Ran didn’t intend for them to actually test it.

And Buddhism would absolutely not really test it.

Instead, they would definitely find other excuses to cover it up.

Wouldn’t that be a waste of time?

Lu Ran said, “But it doesn’t matter. I came here today not to prove that your Buddhist artifacts are fake—though they are indeed fake. First and foremost, I came to help my friend get back the money you swindled from her.”

After speaking, he directly pulled Cen Yu Nuo and Cheng Maixiang and walked towards the high platform.

Wherever he passed.

The crowd parted, making way, not daring to come into contact with Lu Ran.

This also saved Lu Ran from having to push through the crowd.

But the people from the Daoist Association not far away were a bit confused.

They thought they were fighting alone.

But as a result.

There was actually someone on their side?

The Bearded Man leading them looked at Lu Ran in confusion.

This young man said he was a Daoist, but he couldn’t tell at all, and he didn't recognize him.

But when his gaze fell upon Cen Yu Nuo.

He suddenly froze.

Exclaiming, “Cen Yu Nuo of the Da Luo Palace! Isn’t she…”

The monk on the stage saw that Lu Ran was no longer entangled in the topic of Buddhist artifacts, so he simply skipped it, as he hadn’t thought of how to cover up the lie yet.

But seeing Lu Ran bringing people onto the stage.

He immediately frowned.

How could he let him continue to cause trouble?

“Stop him! Get him out!” the middle-aged monk said coldly.

Immediately.

Several martial monks jumped down.

Pushing through the crowd and walking towards him.

Lu Ran chuckled, not stopping his steps.

Just as the martial monks made contact, he repeated the same tactic, with three punches and two kicks, kicking the martial monks back as if they were sandbags.

This feeling…

It was so damn good!

This was different from casting spells; this was genuine, powerful physical force!

It was also the first time Lu Ran felt that his strength attribute could be used this way?

This made him feel as if he had transformed into a strongman.

This made Cheng Maixiang beside Lu Ran stare in amazement.

This Lu Ran, he was actually a Daoist!

And he seemed so strong!

Seeing Lu Ran’s impressive methods, the middle-aged monk still wanted to arrange more people to stop him.

However, Lu Ran had already brought Cen Yu Nuo and Cheng Maixiang, lightly leaping onto the high platform.

Looking down at the crowd below.

And glancing at the Daoist Association side.

“Kid, what exactly do you mean?” the middle-aged monk asked coldly.

But he didn’t rush to attack.

These monks of slightly higher status were all very cautious.

If Lu Ran had means, he would never easily make a move.

“Are all you Buddhist people’s IQs zero? Or do you not understand human speech? I just said it very clearly. If you don’t know what I mean, you can ask other intelligent people who can understand. I’m too lazy to repeat it for you,” Lu Ran said casually.

Then he looked towards the outskirts.

Over the entire Kyoto Prefecture outskirts, dark clouds had already begun to gather.

Although he couldn’t see the monster siege’s teleportation array, it must have already started operating.

At the same time.

Lu Ran shouted to the people of the Daoist Association, “Friends of the Daoist Association, don’t mix in with the crowd, it’s easy to get caught in the crossfire. Come, get on stage, stand behind me.”
