Chapter 32: The Gathering of the Crowd
In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was still bright, Ao Bai rushed to call the master to get up. Tang Sanzang slept soundly, dreamed of playing chess with Taishang Laojun, just in time for Laojun to play a stinky chess, the archmage took advantage of the victory to pursue, seeing that victory was in sight, the prize for winning chess was the immortal nine-turn golden pill, and the holy monk was so happy that he smiled, saliva flowed, and was about to reach out and drop his hand, when he suddenly heard a loud roar from Ao Bai, and he was immediately frightened, and bounced up from the bed with a bang.
The holy monk was sleepy-eyed, looked up at the gray sky, and roared unhappily: "Dead Xiaobai, what are you calling so early, you have ruined Lao Tzu's dreams, hey, my immortal Jindan, immortal Jindan." ”
Ao Bai looked excited, and he didn't care about the master's displeasure at the moment, and explained tremblingly: "Master, don't sleep, a large team of people has gathered outside the imperial city, just waiting for the holy monk to assign the task." ”
Sanzang glanced at him and yawned angrily: "Damn, it's only time now, how many people can come so early, let me sleep again, oops, I'm sleeping." ”
After these days of contact, Ao Bai has a certain understanding of the master's personality, and knows that there is no need to worry about him getting mad if something disturbs his sleep, so he does not hesitate to say: "Why are there not many people, according to preliminary estimates, it has reached 50,000, and the common people are really happy when they hear that they are going to dig a canal. Now the boss and his gang are waiting outside the imperial city, if you don't get up again, it will be the turn of ten thousand people to break into the palace and pull you out of bed. ”
Sanzang couldn't help but shudder when he heard the words, and said in a daze: "What, 50,000 came so soon, obediently, the enthusiasm of the people of Hara Country is really not ordinarily high." Ao Bai, hurry up and change the master's clothes, everyone is so desperate, we can't lag behind, don't eat breakfast, go quickly, go quickly. ”
Tang Sanzang hurried to the city gate, stood at the head of the city and looked down, and unconsciously gasped, Mom, it was dark and oppressive for several miles outside the city gate, and there were crowds of people everywhere, with ups and downs and crowds.
Feeling that his legs and stomach were trembling, Tang Sanzang sighed with emotion, Mom, this is a full 50,000 people, it's really enough, Lao Tzu has never seen so many people since he came out of his mother's womb!
The soldiers at the head of the city were also trembling, swallowing their saliva nervously, and they didn't dare to look down. Tang Sanzang can understand their mood very well, after all, it is 50,000 people, everyone can drown down a wall if they spit, not to mention that the guards of the imperial city are only three thousand at most, if there is a riot, the imperial city will not be able to hold it at all, can you say that the soldiers can not be nervous?
However, the worries of the people seemed to be unnecessary, and the old king was really popular with the people, and at this moment he had gone to the city to shake hands with the people and mingle. The people did not exercise restraint at all, but consciously maintained order, and vied with each other to greet His Majesty and shout Long live the King.
Looking at such a harmonious scene, Tang Sanzang's eyes moistened, and such a monarch and the people were united, allowing him to see the simplicity and unity of this nation, and to see the extremely broad prospects and glorious future of this country. The archmage secretly swore in his heart, don't worry, I, Tang Sanzang, will do what I say, and I will definitely let you get rid of this hundred years of hardship.
The old king soon discovered Tang Sanzang on the head of the city, and waved his hand to introduce to the people this Tang monk who brought infinite hope to the country of Ha Xuan. The people knelt on the ground together, paid homage to the head of Sanzang, and shouted long live the holy monk in their mouths, and their voices rumbled into the sky, which was really earth-shaking and magnificent.
Seeing this scene, Tang Sanzang was so frightened that he leaned against the wall and shouted loudly: "Hugh is so, Hugh is so, how can the poor monk He De be worthy of such a visit, I am really going to break my thousand-year-old life, everyone, please get up, please get up." ”
Hearing this, everyone stood up violently, their movements were as neat as waves, and their momentum was like a rainbow, shaking the earth and trembling. Tang Sanzang carefully observed the crowd and found that young and middle-aged women accounted for more than half, and there were not a few children, but there were only a small number of young and middle-aged men, of course, in such a harsh environment, the number of elderly people was relatively small.
Tang Sanzang nodded, this is a growing population pattern, this nation is united, and there is great hope. Mom, these people all have to be arranged by me alone, how can I afford it? At this time, Tang Sanzang did not have the slightest joy of holding power in his heart, but felt heavy and full of pressure.
