Sun Li, Xiao Linglong and "Zhao Gan" only ran in the dark mountains and forests, crossed the mountains and mountains, and did not know how many miles they ran out, only running until the rooster crowed three times, and the east was white.

No matter how Sun Li explained and comforted, Zhao Gan just didn't listen, and kept clamoring to die in front of Sun Li. Xiao Linglong was really annoyed, and threw the noisy duck on the branch: "If you want to die, you can jump down." ”

"I won't let you go if I become a ghost!" Zhao Gan planted himself from the tree, and out of instinct he danced his arms that had become duck wings, and as a result, he flew up crookedly, but unfortunately his flying skills were not perfect, and he crashed into another tree with a "snap" and fainted.

"Benefactor, what should we do next?" Xiao Linglong lifted the duck and shook it.

"You don't want a benefactor to call me a long benefactor, my surname is Sun Mingli, and I talk about age...... You can call me Little Brother Sun. ”

"I can't forget your life-saving grace, and I still call you a benefactor. Wait a minute. Xiao Linglong walked to the ditch and immersed the duck in the water, and saw that the duck kicked its legs a few times as if it had woken up, and she wrapped its beak a few times with a strip of cloth to tie a dead knot, "Now I am not afraid of him barking." ”

Suddenly, Xiao Linglong said: "It's not good, I have an uncomfortable stomach, and the benefactor will wait for me a little." "It's convenient to go into the distance.

Zhao Qian shook his head vigorously and flapped his wings, and Sun Li took off the strip of cloth from its mouth.

Zhao Qian said: "She ran away, and you still don't chase her, do you want me to be a duck all the time?" ”

Sun Li hastily told Zhao Qian about Xiao Linglong's origin.

Zhao Qian said: "Do you believe it? Look what she's done to me. ”

Sun Li said: "Brother Zhao, what happened to you at the moment is indeed the work of the monks in the temple, I have seen it with my own eyes. Besides, she could have left on her own, so there was no need to mess with us two mortals. ”

Zhao Qian said: "What if she has other plans?" ”

Sun Li said: "If that's the case, with her ability, we can only sit and wait for death." ”

At this moment, Xiao Linglong came back, and she asked Zhao Gan, "What did you eat before, and your stomach was bad." ”

Sun Li and Xiao Linglong discussed while walking, because Xiao Linglong couldn't solve the spell in Zhao Gan, so they decided to go to the nearest government to report the case, and the government came forward to catch the monk Jingchen, so the problem should be solved, but I don't know if the government will accept such strange things, and I can only take one step at a time, during which Zhao Qian has to be patient for the time being.

"Don't you know how to spell? Is there any spell that can make us rush to the government office in a day? Sun Li asked expectantly.

"Don't hide it from my benefactor, when the wandering Taoist passed on my spells, I couldn't be sure that I was evil later, so I set up permissions, and I can only cast spells once a day, and it will last for a maximum of one hour at a time. I used it once last night. Xiao Linglong replied.

"I see, then let's find someone to ask for the direction first, and rush to the nearest official mansion, and wait until you can cast a spell." Sun Lidao.

The two of them walked along the main road, gradually thirsty and tired. Coincidentally, there is a small courtyard on the side of the road not far away, with thatched houses and fence walls, which is a farmer's house. A large locust tree in the courtyard was so leafy that it almost covered the entire yard.

The two went up and knocked at the door, and an old woman answered the door. But seeing that her body was clumsy, her nose was extremely long, and she was about to reach her knees, not with a cane in her hand, I was really afraid that she would hit the ground with a pestle.

The old woman said: "The family has gone to work in the field, and I stayed to watch the family to cook, and the hospitality was not good, which was rude." ”

Sun Li said: "Old woman, we passed by here, and we wanted to beg for saliva to drink, and rest by the way. These few pennies are for you, please bring us some dry food or something to satisfy our hunger. ”

The old woman said: "I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes, there is no ready-made dry food, you wait for the time being, I will go ahead to find some rice to cook a bowl of porridge for you to eat." ”

Zhao Qian wanted to break free from the strip of cloth on his mouth, and kept shaking his head. Sun Li hurriedly pressed it into the bookcase: "You can't speak out loud, Brother Zhao, it's not good to scare people, please bear with me for the time being." ”

In the middle of the night, Sun Li was already tired. Xiao Linglong told Sun Li that he could wait to meditate and rest in the "Three Realms Demon Lotus Bowl".

Sun Li thought about it and felt that shemales had different paths, and Xiao Linglong could not be inferred from human work and rest. So he fell on the bed, his eyelids fell to the ground, and it was difficult to read the book of Confucius; Yawned for a long time, wanted to dream of Zhou Gong, and fell asleep all of a sudden.

In a daze, Sun Li heard Zhao Gan whispering in his ear: "Sun Li, when Xiao Linglong goes to the bowl to meditate later, you turn the bowl over and buckle it." Don't really sleep, wait for me to drop the cup. ”

Sun Li was very sleepy, and his mouth seemed to have two "uh-huh" sounds.

After the old woman left, Xiao Linglong brushed the iron pot and waited for the old woman to bring rice to cook. She poured water under the locust tree, then leaned against the window to think about what to do next, while the two chickens in the yard were fighting over an earthworm, and the poor earthworm was being pulled back and forth.

I don't know how long later, she suddenly heard a "boom" in the room, she turned around and saw that a big crack was opened in front of the bed where Sun Li was sleeping, and a huge hand stretched out, grabbed Sun Li's leg and dragged it down. said that it was too late, Xiao Linglong rushed to the front and grabbed Sun Li's sleeve, and Zhao Qian also rushed to bite Sun Li's finger with his mouth. Xiao Linglong pulled hard, "Ahla" only tore off a piece of cloth, Sun Li was dragged into the ground, and the cracks in the ground were instantly bridged, intact as before.

Xiao Linglong and Zhao Qian lay on the ground and looked at it again, they had nothing to do for a while, and they were so anxious that they turned around.

Zhao Qian said: "Let's dig with a hoe." ”

Xiao Linglong said: "If you dig with a hoe for a while and three moments, I'm afraid you won't be able to solve the problem." ”

Sun Liren was traveling in his dream, and suddenly heard a "click", so he shouted: "Brother Zhao, don't be impulsive!" Xiao Linglong is not a bad person! ”

After screaming, Sun Li struggled to wake up, he opened his eyes and got up to look, and was dumbfounded - in front of him was a huge hall, without doors and windows, all lit by dozens of torches on all sides, he was on the couch on the high platform, surrounded by black pressure full of people, in the distance was a circle of gradually rising steps, and there were also people on it. The thousands of people around him, all whispering to each other, buzzing and buzzing, and babbling and noise.

The sound of "click" was originally a child in front of him who had broken his rice bowl, and at this moment the child's mother was picking up the broken bowl and reprimanding the child.

The people who were close to saw Sun Li wake up were all silent, staring at this outsider with their eyes closed, and the movement of closing their mouths and raising their heads and stretching their necks spread like ripples, and the whole hall fell silent after a while.

"Where is this? Who are you? Where is my friend? Sun Li asked anxiously.

The first white-headed old man arched his hand and said: "Sir, don't be surprised, my name is Ma Yida, we are all villagers of Renyi Village, and now we can't decide on a few tricky things. ”

Although Ma Yida has a white head, his waist is straight, his limbs are slender, and he is full of energy. Whenever he speaks, he shakes his head and bumps into the person next to him from time to time when he talks about excitement. If you look at the others, they all seem to have such characteristics.

Sun Li thought to himself, helping the poor is the duty of a scholar, and the old man is quite respectful, Sun Li can't help but wonder, what is the matter, he hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted back: "The old man is too polite, he is only a shallow student in his later years, I am afraid that he will not be able to help everyone, if there is a place where he can do his best, he should go all out." ”

The people around heard that Sun Li was willing to help, and cheered thunderily together, and the cheers spread, Ma Yida took the gong from his waist, and "Dangdangdang" was knocked for a while, and everyone quieted down again.

"With the help of Mr. Lee, our problems will be solved. There are three things in total, the first is that not long ago, there was a flood that drowned our village chief, and now the position of village chief is vacant, and there are many candidates. For the sake of fairness and justice, please stand on an objective standpoint and help us choose a leader. ”

Sun Li thought to himself, at first, he shouldn't have accepted it, and choosing the village chief was not child's play. But seeing that everyone was looking at him, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Since this is the case, please gather the candidates, and we will test them in the question." ”

"Okay, I'll call them over." Ma Yida turned around and said loudly, "The candidates are all here." ”

After a while, eight people who were tall, short, fat, thin, beautiful, ugly, black and white stood in front of Sun Li, and Ma Yida frowned and asked, "There are ten candidates in total, why didn't the big head and mustache come?" ”

The master replied: "The big head drank too much and was still sleeping, and the mustache heard that there was an exam and abstained." ”

"Well, everyone has their own ambitions, and that's inevitable. Without further ado, sir, let's get started, and which of these eight people is suitable to be our leader? ”

Sun Li said: "Don't worry, boss, in addition to being fair in choosing a leader, the key is to choose the best comprehensive ability." I have a plan, please rest assured. ”

Sun Li stood two steps forward, his eyes swept over the eight candidates, and said, "Let's adopt the elimination system, and after three rounds of exams, the village chief will just be elected." Moral, intellectual and physical fitness must be passed, good physical fitness is the foundation of everything, so the first link let's check whether the body is strong, I see that this hall is very spacious, just run. Those against the wall took two steps inside to make way for a runway. Eight candidates run together, and if they can't run, they will be automatically eliminated, and the remaining four will be successfully promoted. What do you think? ”

"Good!" "Fair enough!" Agreed!" The hall was full of people.

Without further ado, Ma Yida immediately struck the gong as a signal, and eight people ran up. In less than a hundred steps, the fat man fell first, then the white man fell behind, and then the beauties and dwarves were eliminated. Sun Li immediately announced: "After the first round of the competition, the tall, thin and ugly four people advanced to the next round. The crowd erupted in applause.

Ma Yida admired it very much and said: "Mr. Sun is really discerning, fat people are lazy and lazy, white people live in simplicity, beauties are golden and jade, and dwarves are difficult to be far-sighted, so they should all be eliminated." The crowd was full of garlic, and the admiration lasted for a long time.

Sun Li didn't expect that the old man Ma Yida could analyze so many truths from it, but it was not unreasonable to think about it carefully. Then he announced the second round of the competition, the pair, which can test whether the candidate is knowledgeable and can discern whether he is alert, and there is no need for a long speech. Sun Li's upper link is "the wind sets the flowers and still falls", and the time limit is a quarter of a pillar of incense.

I saw that the test taker either frowned, shook his neck and twisted his beard; Or a slap. Searching the intestines and scraping the belly; or close your eyes and wander, forgetting things and me; Or if you have something, clap your hands and say fast. When the time came, the four people all wrote out: the black man replied "I won't do this", the ugly man wrote "someone is shaking the tree", the tall man was "not surprised by the birds", and the thin man answered "the birdsong mountain is more secluded".

Sun Li said: "Uncle, I didn't expect that there are also well-educated people in our village, the black man and the ugly man have poor answers, so they are eliminated directly, and the tall and thin people advance to the finals." The crowd exclaimed again.

Ma Yida stroked his beard and said: "Black people are very upright, ugly people can connect cause and effect, they are all excellent, I hope the two of them can continue to learn and improve." The crowd burst into applause again, as if they were lamenting the defeat of the black ugly people, and as if they were cheering for them, and the black and ugly people invariably red eyes.

Sun Li walked up to the tall and thin two and said, "The last question is required to be answered face-to-face to examine the ability to handle things." It is said that there is a sick person who wants to eat snails when he is dying, as the host, how should you deal with it? ”

The thin man replied first: "I don't think I should agree to his request, Buddhism has its own rules and cannot be easily changed." Break a vow today, break a vow tomorrow, what else is Buddhism called Pure Land. ”

The master replied, "I think I should promise him, tell him that the kitchen is frying snails, and let him go to the west in joy." Although he said that he would go to hell with his tongue plucked, the Buddha's words, 'If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell', it can be regarded as sacrificing oneself for others. ”

Sun Li said: "The master answers well and has a compassionate heart; Thin people are principled and should be praised. Therefore, I suggest that the tall person should be the positive and the thin person should be the deputy, and the two of them should give full play to their strengths and deal with the affairs of the village together. ”
