Chapter 97 Democratic Elections
Tang Sanzang was shocked, waved his hand again and again, and said resolutely: "No, the poor monk has already said that I am a monk, and it is within my duty to eliminate the demon and defend the way, how can He De dare to be greedy for this great position, and please take back your destiny and choose another holy king." ”
In addition to the unintentional throne, Sanzang also has its last resort, among the ten thousand people, there are a large number of people kneeling on the ground, pouting their buttocks, comfortably exerting force, only to hear the sound of "pop", there is a string of stinky farts out of it. There is a way that the fart does not stink, the stinky fart does not make a sound, it is rare for these people to put it stinky and loud, it is really like a rotten egg, pus swill, sky-high stinking, evil wind gusts, with the flow of air straight towards the Sanzang Army.
This should be the people of Luli Country who have been persecuted by Luli Daxian for 200 years and eat carrots and black beans every day. In fact, a stinky fart is easy to block, just go around a few times and it will pass, but the miserable thing is that thousands of people fart together, gathering into a fart cloud, which comes and does not disperse for a long time, and can really smoke a person to death.
The people of Luli Country are used to smelling it every day, but it really hurts the Sanzang Army, and the smell rushes straight to the door, so stinky that Tang Sanzang frowns and frowns, his chest is tight, and his heart palpitates. Such a country wants to respect itself as the king, Tang Sanzang didn't want to think about it, so he flatly refused.
Everyone only said that he pretended to be humble, stepped forward again, and begged bitterly: "Why should the holy monk be so humble, our three kingdoms have been divided for a long time, and the pattern has been decided, only a person with high moral standing like the holy monk can shock the heroes, command all the people, and let the country of Chechi return to unity." Holy monk, there is a way that people have no leader, the country has no owner and is restless, and please ask the holy monk to observe the expectation of tens of thousands of people in my car Chi country, reluctantly make it difficult, and order the world, so that the society is very fortunate, and the people are very lucky, this is the merit of creating heaven and earth, which is tantamount to the great cause of the holy monk to learn from the scriptures. ”
Between the words, all the people bowed down, the mountain shouted long live, and insisted on helping the holy monk to take the throne, only to hear a "poof" sound, and another gust of fart wind rolled in, so straight that Tang Sanzang's eyes were full of gold stars, his legs and feet were weak, and he almost fell to the ground, and died on the spot.
The holy monk endured the nausea and said sadly, Damn, if you really want to be the king of this country, it is better to strangle Lao Tzu to death, it is too sinful, it is really not a place for people to stay.
Thinking of this, the holy monk exhaled heavily, and said earnestly: "You really don't have to do anything, don't hide it, the poor monk was a fortune teller in his early years, saying that I can't be crowned as a king in my life, otherwise I will be killed." Since we really can't put forward a suitable candidate, the poor monk has a way, we can use the United States of America as a template to establish a United States of America, I don't know what you think?"
"What does this mean, the United States of Chechi?" the people looked at each other when they heard this, and asked word by word, so surprised that they forgot to fart.
Feeling that the fart was a lot quieter, Tang Sanzang's pressure was greatly reduced, and he explained with a smile: "You don't know, in my **** country, there is a country where several forces coexist, everyone is an ally of each other, the strength is equal, no one obeys anyone, but you have to elect an alliance leader to command the world." So some smart people came up with a way, let the people of the world pick a few candidates, each vote, choose their favorite candidate, in the end, whoever gets the most votes is the leader of the world, every four years, at most two terms, if he doesn't do well, let's replace him, everyone thinks this is good?"
"Damn, it's really incredible that there is still a thing in this world for the people to choose the king, it's just a holy monk, we still don't know anything, there are a total of three countries here, and the people naturally choose people from their own territory as leaders, and in the end, which party must be elected with more people, isn't that very unfair?" The people looked at each other when they heard this, and they were shocked, and then they said with doubts on their faces.
"This problem has already been solved, we can divide the three countries into several states, each state elects a highly respected governor to participate in the election, anyway, whoever has high virtue and does more good deeds will get more votes, everyone has a rod and scale in their hearts, and justice is at ease in the hearts of the people. Every adult has the right to vote, and it is his freedom to choose who he wants, and it is protected by law, and it cannot be forced to vote by outsiders, so as to be fair and just. Anyway, it's up to you to improve the specific operation, and this mage doesn't really understand it. Knowing that everyone would have this question, Tang Sanzang had already made a bamboo in his chest, and he smiled, as if he understood the Tao.
"The holy monk is really a god and a man, and such a wonderful way can be thought of, so let's put forward the candidates, and the general election will be held later. We will definitely live up to the high expectations of the holy monks, choose a holy king with both ability and political integrity, and lead all the people of the world out of poverty, resume production, and rebuild the glory of the past. When everyone heard this, they were envious, and immediately beat their chests loudly, and swore an oath.
Sanzang nodded, and said in a deep voice: "After two hundred years of chaos and strife in Che Chi Kingdom, it is time to rectify it well, I don't know what difficulties you have, as long as I can help the Sanzang Army, I will definitely help." ”
When the people heard this, they were moved and said truthfully: "The chaos of the past two hundred years has really hurt the people of the world, and the city has been ruined, the fields are barren, the sorrow is everywhere, and the people are not able to make a living. Now that the three demons have been annihilated, the people have turned over and become masters, all things are reborn, all kinds of ruins are waiting to be rebuilt, the broken city walls need to be repaired, the collapsed houses need to be rebuilt, the abandoned fields need to be reclaimed, all kinds of things are huge in scale, complicated and complicated, but as long as we and other people are united, there will always be a day when it will be completed. The biggest difficulty at the moment is that there is little food in the city, just because the three demons have different diets, relying on the majesty to force us to eat beans and gnaw vegetables, stretching for two hundred years, I don't know how many people starved to death, now only Huli country still has some surplus grain, the other two countries only have black beans and cabbage, the food is tasteless, unbearable, but to support the three countries with the meager grain of Huli country, it is really a drop in the bucket, it is difficult to support alone. ”
"As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, if there is no food, people are starving to death, how can they be in the mood to do anything else, this matter is related to the survival of the society, it is imminent, and it is very tricky. Although the elders have the means to the sky and the mana is strong, it is difficult for the skillful woman to cook without rice, but I am afraid that she has more than enough heart and not enough strength. ”
As soon as the words came out, Bajie sneered, and said with disdain: "Folks, this is wrong, my Sanzang Legion is a vast army, how can the energy contained in it be beyond your imagination? ”
When the people heard this, they were so frightened that they fell to the ground tremblingly, and said sharply: "Two thousand five hundred taels of purple gold, I never thought that the elder would be so rich that he could buy my entire car Chi Kingdom, these purple gold will be donated to us, but how to make it?"
I didn't expect Zijin to be so precious, the old pig couldn't help but feel a little painful, but even when he said this, tens of thousands of pairs of eyes looked at it, but he couldn't afford to regret it. So the old pig gritted his teeth fiercely, dusted his robe slightly, and pretended to be relaxed: "You are serious, we are monks, we have enough money to spend, more is useless, it is better to use it to purify all sentient beings, and by the way, to solve my old pig miser's quirks, wouldn't everyone be happy?"
Tang Sanzang laughed and agreed: "As long as Bajie agrees to this matter, this mage has no opinion, too much money is not beneficial to us, but it has become a burden." Now that Che Chiguo is using money, let's push the boat down the river and borrow flowers to offer Buddha, so don't shirk anymore. ”
As soon as the words came out, all the people were moved to cry bitterly, kowtow, wipe tears, and even claimed to thank: "I don't want the holy monk to treat Che Chiguo so kindly, not to mention helping to destroy the demons, but also to help us get through the difficulties, the great grace is like reconstruction, we must build a temple for the elders, burn incense and worship, and never forget the great grace." ”
Sanzang hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this, shook his head and said: "No need, instead of spending time shaping and building a temple for us, you should think about how to make good use of this money, and how to spend the least amount of money to get through this difficulty." ”
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod, and one of them clenched his fists, raised his arms and shouted: "The holy monk is very right, we will divide these two thousand five hundred taels of purple gold into several equal parts, who can make greater use of this money, let's nominate him as the king of this time, what do you think of this method?" The people echoed in unison when they heard this, and they were full of agreement.
Seeing that the position of the king was finally pushed out, Tang Sanzang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed to everyone and said: "Everyone, since the big event has been decided, I am in a hurry to leave, so I will stay soon, but everyone does not have to be ordained as a monk, in fact, whether it is believing in Buddhism or respecting the Tao, it is just a spiritual pursuit in the heart of an individual, natural and casual, so why impose persecution and fall into the end." As long as they are talents that are beneficial to the development of the country, we should not be prejudiced and keep them out. ”
"So instead of cultivating ourselves and erecting statues for us, you should use this money to build a recruitment hall to recruit talents from all over the world and serve the country. Please be sure to unite as one, work together, do not attack each other, regenerate chaos, the fate of the tiger, deer and sheep and the three demons is your verification, should be taken as a warning, be cautious, and do not have a half-point difference. ”
When all the people heard this, they all bowed in unison, and said in one voice: "We must abide by the decree of the law, and we should engrave the inscription and never forget." ”
Seeing the holy monk rolling the saddle on the horse, he was going west, the people were reluctant, pulling the horse rope, bowing down and begging: "The holy monk for our country to destroy the three demons, grace and reconstruction, why not stay a few more days, let me wait for the people to talk about the friendship of the landlord, otherwise the Western countries will think that my car is late and the country does not understand human feelings, and I will not repay the kindness." ”
Sanzang was sweating profusely when he heard this, thinking that everything was ready, Lao Tzu didn't slip away, wouldn't he be smoked to death by this stinky fart?
Thinking of this, the archmage smiled and confessed: "Your kindness has been understood, but we are determined to go to the west to learn the scriptures, and we dare not slack off, so we will not pass by, and when we obtain the true scriptures, we will definitely come back to have fun with you." ”
Only then did the people let go, one by one burst into tears, and their cries shook the sky: "Holy monk, the road to the west is far away, and it is not easy to move forward, please take care of your body. ”
Hearing this, the corners of Sanzang's eyes were moist, and he waved his hand vigorously to say goodbye to everyone, took a group of disciples, rode his horse and whipped, and fled from the Huli country to seize the door, and drove more than ten miles on the avenue before he could stop embarrassingly.
The master and apprentice were so tired that they lay down on the ground, and then they gasped heavily, Tang Sanzang greedily breathed in the fresh air, and laughed: "Damn, they finally escaped, these guys are so stinky that Lao Tzu almost didn't die there, and he can finally breathe fresh air." ”
"Yes, my grandson is so stinky that he doesn't want to speak, Bajie is probably stinking and confused, and he actually donated all the two thousand five hundred taels of purple gold, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight. Wukong nodded slightly sympathetically, remembering the two thousand five hundred taels of purple gold of the Eight Rings, and teased him with malicious intentions.
"Monkey, you are too underestimating people, that's right, when my old pig first donated Zijin, he really felt very painful, after all, it was a lot of money. But then I also figured it out, as Master said, money is just something external to us, and it can be used to do some practical things to be worthy of its value. In this way, my old pig can be regarded as a great thing for the benefit of the common people, and when I see Xiuning in the future, I will also have face, isn't it?" the old pig squinted his eyes and smiled pleasantly.
