Chapter 41 **** Elder

"National Teacher, what I want to ask is, if the Daomen scriptures are unified, how do you let the ordinary people understand the content of the scriptures?"

Other people are right, the scriptures are unified, and they can read a book in the future, but for ordinary believers, the traditional way of contacting information has to be passed on by the Taoist priests by word of mouth, isn't it?

The peddler smiled at Li Er, "Your Majesty said yes, so in order to achieve the purpose of preaching in the world" After saying this, the peddler made a compassionate expression, and Li Er sighed in his heart, this baby wants to pit people.

"I want to take out all my net worth and send a scripture to everyone in the Tang Dynasty"

Poof... The hawker's ideal was too ambitious, and everyone present was overturned on their backs by the shocked.

"Immeasurable Bodhi Ancestor, how much does this cost?"

"Yes, just now, if you find someone to copy a scripture book now, you have to change at least a few geese," the person who said this sentence should know that if the mountain vagina priest meets, he should write an allusion to the yellow court for the white goose.

"Yes, don't say much, a book, a goose, 30 million people in the Tang Dynasty, I'll be obedient..."

There were only a few people in the crowd who were not frightened by the hawkers' ideals, and there were a handful on the side of Elder Daoist Wang, and there were also a handful on the side of Eldest Sun Wuji.

The old Taoist chief was not surprised because the peddler had bought him no less than 500 catties of pirated books on psychology in the past two years, such as Freud, Socrates, and chicken soup for the soul, and the old Taoist had a special safe for these books, which could only be read by him and a few personal disciples.

As for the eldest grandson Wuji, it's even simpler, he just wants 50,000 copies of the Four Books and Five Classics, and people have given 50,000 copies of the Tao Te Ching plus 50,000 copies of the thousand-character text, which shows that the whole Tang Dynasty can do a scripture in the hands of the peddler!

"Does Your Majesty have any other questions?"

Li Er shook his head, and to the side held his head to make sure that he was still alive, and the peddler turned his head to the audience again, "Do you have any problems with other Taoist friends?" ”

Everyone has been stupid by the hawkers several times, this festival is really not in vain, not to mention the rest, at least see those who dare to brag, no matter what the result of the festival is, after going back, they can also boast with others.

"Okay, since everyone has no other problems, and time is pressing, let's now proceed to the third item of the conference, and everyone present will vote to elect the thirteen elders."

Another one got up in the "slow" crowd, the hawker looked happy, hey, I haven't paid attention, it turns out that there is such an independent group in the crowd, surrounded by male Taoists, but standing up, there are hundreds of ten female Taoists around him, and the hawkers tiptoe to look, and there are many of them with good looks.

However, this is not the time to flirt with the sister, and the vendor stretched out his hand to the other party, "Is there anything wrong with this senior sister?" “

After taking the microphone, the female Taoist priest first made a joke to the vendor, "Meet the national teacher, poor Dao Zizhen, dare to ask whether the choice of the thirteen elders of the national teacher is divided into men and women?" In addition, because some Taoist friends are traveling abroad, they may not have received a message from the Dharma Master, and they are not present today, can we still nominate them? “

After speaking, Zi Zhen looked at the vendor and waited for his answer, "Well, Senior Sister Zi Zhen said well, I want to explain here, because there are many affairs that need to be handled by the elders after the festival, so there is no time to wait for those Daoists who are wandering outside to come back."

"What does the national teacher mean is that the candidate for the elders must be elected among those present today?"

"Yes" the peddler replied with certainty, it was all at this juncture, there was no need to be a good person, there was no need to give people some unrealistic illusions, after all, there was still a lot to do after going down.

Everyone saw that the hawker answered so surely, and some people who were really not present and wanted to ask for a favor also gave up, Zi Zhen didn't bother about this matter, after all, with her qualifications, she also had the opportunity to fight for the elders, and the chances of fewer people would be greater, so what she was most concerned about now was whether the female Taoist priest could run for election.

The vendor didn't let her wait, "In addition, the lonely yang doesn't grow, and the lonely yin doesn't grow, so the thirteen elders allowed the female Taoist priest to appear"

After Zi Zhen got the answer he wanted, he sat down after sneering at the hawker, and after the hawker was sure that no one would stand up and make trouble, he waved his hand to the side, and several Taoist boys carried two boxes up, and the hawker opened the box and took out a card and a pen from it.

"Everyone has seen this card in my hand, because considering that everyone comes from all over the world, they may not know much about the Taoist leaders in some places, so before that, by Wang Lao Dao Chang and Zhen Quan Dao Chang, Qihui Dao Chang and Changsun and other official figures, we have selected fifty outstanding Daomen figures, and the resumes of these people are all around you, please see"

As soon as the hawker stretched out his hand, fifty giant banners rose around the venue, and everyone raised their heads to look up, only to see that it was written that the first candidate: Wang Yuanzhi, a native of Langya, Yangzhou, and Tao Hongjing, a teacher... The second candidate, Zhen Quan, a native of Fugou in Xuzhou, studied medicine since childhood, and wrote works such as famous human figures, needle copying scriptures, etc., and countless living people, the third candidate....

Wait, wait, a total of fifty of the fifty powerhouses who are here today, of course, the time of the primary election is not only fifty, but I am afraid that some people did not come, and now it seems that this decision is very correct.

The hawker applauded to attract everyone's attention, "Now I send the card to everyone, we have half a day to consider the choice, in order to ensure the fairness and justice of this election, this election adopts the method of real-name election and public vote singing, to ensure that there is no shady, in addition, you can rest assured that who you choose I promise will not be revealed, once the election results are produced, everyone has no objections, this ballot will be burned directly, you can vote as much as you want, don't be afraid of offending people"

"Oh, there is one more thing I forgot to say, in order to ensure fairness, because this event was jointly initiated by Wang Lao Dao Chang and Zongsheng Palace and several Taoist temples in Luoyang, so those with lower seniority than me in these Taoist temples are not allowed to participate in voting, and other Taoist friends can vote as long as they have officially worshipped the teacher."

Hey, as soon as the hawker said this, there were originally complaints that we were not entangled, and the sect that came to the meeting of the three people was completely speechless, you must know that the hawker came with Wang Yuanzhi's generation, under normal circumstances, even if it is such a big view as Xuandu Guan, there are only one or twenty people who can call the hawker brothers.

After the hawker finished talking this time, there was nothing else, so he asked people to send the ballots, and Wang Lao Daochang also had a share, but the hawker himself had no share, so Ya ran to the side to play with Li Er.

The Taoist priests held the ballot papers, and the first thing they observed was the content of the ballot, a white piece of cardboard, and a large gossip shape on the background, on which were suspended the names of fifty candidates, because it was necessary to consider the reading habits of these people, so it was arranged vertically, and there were two boxes below, one marked on the top and one marked no.

Behind the piece of paper is a personal resume, this needs to be filled in by the Taoist priests themselves, many Taoist priests are the first time to see this thing, curious tight, don't think about who to choose first, pull the Taoist priest who is responsible for explaining next to him, first tell himself how to use the pen first, know that this thing actually does not need to be inked after all are ecstatic, good things are mine!

After chatting with Li Er and the Emperor Taishang for a while, the vendor looked at the sky, it was already noon, "Everyone, the kitchen has prepared lunch for everyone, if anyone is hungry, they can now go to eat with the hand cards they got at the time of entering the mountain."

There was the hungry Taoist priest, and then he remembered that someone had indeed given him an iron plate with a number when he entered the mountain, and he specially instructed him not to lose it, so he quickly found the kitchen of the Zongsheng Palace that followed the guidance of the Taoist boy.

Hey, good guy, Qi Hui is also afraid of losing face, so he directly drew the largest side hall in the courtyard as a canteen, and now the courtyard is full of tables, and there are dozens of stacks of stainless steel dinner plates stacked at the entrance of the hall, and the Taoist priest takes away the tableware according to the order, and is curiously waiting for what the national teacher will eat for him at noon!

When they got inside, the Taoist priests saw a table that was not less than 20 meters long, with more than 30 dishes on it, and many Taoist priests didn't know what to eat for a while. (To be continued.) )
