But if you really want to talk about it, it's not like rebuilding a dragon king temple.

Because there was originally a long-standing temple near the West Lake, which was also dedicated to a statue of the Dragon King.

It's just that the years have passed, and there has been no catastrophe, so the original offerings have become less and less, and most of the business has been robbed by the nearby temples, and finally ended up with a deserted result.

In recent years, no one has the heart or money to repair this dragon king temple, and finally it has become more and more dilapidated, even the roof has broken several big holes, the statue of the god has been moldy after the wind and rain and the sun, and the paint on it has almost worn out a clean, only a dry clay sculpture remains.

Even one of the dragon horns of this clay dragon king statue is not known if it was broken off by someone, and I don't know where it is.

On weekdays, even beggars come here to sleep, neither sheltering from the wind nor the rain.

It is not badly dilapidated.

It can almost be said that if the wind and rain were a little stronger on any day, no one would be surprised if the temple fell, and no one would care.

At most, a few beggars would come and look around, and pull around to see if there would be any tattered iron that could be sold for some money.

It has not been a long time since there were dozens of people gathered in front of the temple like today.

And today, what the government advocates is to repair this Dragon King Temple, which is close to abandonment, and it must be more luxurious than the original, but you must not let the Dragon King think that he and others are neglected.

When Du Bai flew over, he could see that some of them were measuring the land, and some were cleaning up the messy environment in the temple, and by the way, they were uprooting the vines and weeds that were overgrown, and it was also extremely important to clean up.

He looked around, his eyes fell on a man who was swooping at the thick cobwebs that fell inside those corners, and heard him say casually with some emotion: "I can't imagine that the residence of the Dragon Lord is so dirty, no wonder its old man wants to show up, otherwise who knows what it will become in the future......"

Another person next to him also echoed: "That's right, maybe the Dragon Lord just wants to take this opportunity to warn us ......."

"But if we can build a dam, it would be a good thing......

After a while, an official came in through the door, and as soon as he stepped into the smell of dust that had been sealed for a long time, he couldn't help frowning, and his right hand slapped a few times in front of his nose, trying to fan away the dust that kept flying in the air with the process of cleaning up.

It's a pity that it's just in vain, he sneezed, then covered his mouth and nose and took a step back, and said with some disgust: "Is it handled?" Hurry up, don't waste time! ”

Several workers nodded quickly and hurried to work.

But then someone stepped forward and bowed down and asked carefully: "My lord, this temple is almost cleaned up, but what should I do with this statue of the Dragon King?" ”

He was referring to the statue of the Dragon Lord placed in the center of the temple. Although it is already damaged, it is still the idol of the Dragon Lord, and they don't dare to act rashly, who knows if the Dragon Lord will be watching them from the side.

"This ......"

This petty official was also a little embarrassed, and thought for a while: "Why don't you call a craftsman who is proficient in the statue and ask him to repair it!" ”

This may sound simple, but in reality it is very difficult to repair the damage to this extent. But if you really want them to smash this statue and build a new one, you will never dare to give them a few more dares.

Everyone knows that there is really a dragon king in this West Lake, if they dare to smash or lose this old god statue that has been worshipped for decades in front of it, wouldn't this be asking for their own death?

But in the end, it takes more effort to repair it than to rebuild one, and some of the gains outweigh the losses.

In the end, the petty official finally made up his mind.

"Why don't we carry this statue to the West Lake and ask the Dragon King's opinion?"

The others were stunned for a moment, and they were a little puzzled: "Lord Long shouldn't come out because of these little things......

"Hey, we're not here to let the Dragon Lord come forward, just to give the Dragon Lord face!" The junior official shook his head and said matter-of-factly, "We can't act without permission, so we will take it to ask the Dragon Lord, as long as the Dragon Lord's opponent does not come out to object, it will be agreed." ”

"When the time comes, let's discard this old god statue, and bring the new god statue to it, and we will have a name, so we don't have to worry about the dragon king's blame afterwards."

"Wouldn't it be beautiful that the Dragon Lord has face and doesn't delay our affairs?"

This can be regarded as some of the methods he learned in officialdom, and it can be regarded as making the best use of things at this time.

Du Bai, who was a bystander, felt that this method seemed to be indeed good, but the premise was that the Dragon King really did not come forward.

He thought about it for a while, since these people had worked so hard to build the Dragon King Temple, and it was because of him, it was not easy for him to stay out of the matter.

You might as well do a little favor, and by the way, you can show your attitude, which seems to be good.

The men here obeyed the order, and immediately began to lift the idol on a wooden shelf, and carefully carried it in the direction of the shore of the West Lake.

The idol was already extremely fragile, and they were really worried about what they would do if they accidentally broke it and angered the dragon king.

Therefore, when they moved the idol to the shore of the West Lake, it took a lot of effort.

I saw that the altar on the shore at this time had not been dismantled, or no one dared to move it for the time being, so I simply put it here first.

As for letting the troupe perform here, even if the troupe dares, the people of the government don't dare, what if it disturbs the Dragon King?

At this time, it is time to move the statue up and "ask" the dragon lord for instructions.

Seeing the action here, the people around were all looking at it curiously, and there were also some ordinary people who were holding their children and watching the excitement nearby.

The little official stood on the altar, looking at the calm and usual lake in front of him, but he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, and finally strengthened his courage, so he lit a few sticks of incense, raised them above his head decently, and shouted respectfully.

"Lord Dragon King, we are waiting for you to renovate the Dragon King Temple today......"

After some elaboration, his voice stopped, and after a closer look, he didn't see any special movement on the surface of the lake, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the Dragon Lord is not angry."

Thinking in his heart, he then respectfully continued: "We mortals plan to make a new idol for you, it will definitely be more imposing, and this old idol will be returned to its original owner......"

He motioned to a few guys next to him, and several of them immediately understood, "Boom", and hurriedly continued to lift the idol.

Several people got off the altar, walked back to the lake, loaded a small boat that had been prepared, and slowly sailed in the direction of the deep water, leaving only a long ripple of water behind them.

The meaning of this petty official is to put the old idol back into the West Lake, so that it can be with the main master.

Of course, in fact, this clay statue should gradually melt away after entering the water, and it will not disturb the cultivation of the Dragon King.

That's a good way to deal with it, at least not because of the smashing of the idol.

He stood on the altar and looked at the flat boat slowly drifting on the lake, and nodded in satisfaction.

As soon as this matter is resolved, we can continue to arrange work.

At this time, several people on the boat poked their heads out to take a look at the depth under the surface of the lake, although the water was very clear, but the depth of the lake was dark and deep that the sun could not shine on, and it was deep and deep, and I didn't know what kind of terrible things were hidden there, which inevitably made people feel a little panicked.

Especially at the thought that the Dragon Lord was under the surface of the water and might even be watching them, they tensed up, planning to hurry up and finish this errand and go back early.

The experienced boatman propped up the oars, and the hull of the boat gradually stopped on the surface of the lake, looked left and right, and there was some distance from the shore, that is, he said: "It's better to be here, anyway, our sincerity is there, and the Dragon Lord shouldn't blame us." ”

"It's good!"

Several people looked at each other and nodded in agreement, snorted together, lifted the idol up, and then carefully rested on the edge of the boat, and then pushed down the water with all their strength!

If it is a long time, the boat may turn over on its side because of the unstable load.

After letting go, the few people took a breath, turned around and were about to call the boatman to leave for the voyage, when suddenly their hearts jumped and realized something strange.

"How...... I don't think I heard the sound of the idol falling into the water? ”

Such a large clay sculpture, if it is smashed down, even if there is no wave, at least there should be a "coo-dong".

It's just that the weird thing is that everything is calm, except for the sound of the lake flowing, it's eerily quiet.

Immediately, they saw the boatman's face change dramatically, his mouth wide open, and his face looked behind them in horror, which made them feel even more uncomfortable.

Turning their heads a little stiffly, a few people actually saw the clay statue that they had just pushed down, and at this moment it happened to stop in mid-air, as if an invisible hand had firmly grasped it!

Such an unbelievable scene, if they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.

However, when this scene did happen, they immediately realized the possible reason-

The Dragon King has appeared!

"Could it be that the Dragon Lord is not satisfied with our actions in dealing with the idols and is going to punish us?!"

They were so frightened that their faces turned a little pale, and they immediately knelt down in the direction of the idol on the boat, and kowtowed again and again, for fear of the slightest disrespect.

The little official who was far away on the altar on the shore also witnessed this scene with his own eyes, and his eyes suddenly widened, he never thought that the Dragon King would appear at this time!

I can't help but feel uneasy......

As for the ordinary people around them, they are even more talking, excited, scared, excited, and excited.

Everyone wants to see the appearance of the gods with their own eyes.

There are many people who didn't see it yesterday, and after hearing others mention it vividly, they regret that they missed this good show, so they come to this lake with the intention of trying their luck, hoping to see the appearance of the gods.

It's a pity that Du Bai has no intention of appearing in incarnation today.

However, some "dazzling" spells are still indispensable.

At this time, he was flying on the surface of the lake in the form of a divine spirit, that is, directly above the small boat, and with a grip in the void, he grabbed the idol that should have fallen into the water and suspended it in mid-air.

Immediately, as soon as my mind moved, countless water droplets began to slowly rise from the surrounding lake, flying towards the direction of the sky!

It's a strange sight, as if it's raining backwards, and it's amazing.

As soon as Du Bai stretched out his hand again, those water droplets began to quickly converge in the direction of the clay statue, constantly colliding and blending, and the new body began to condense continuously.

And this scene fell in the eyes of those unaware mortals, that is, a dazzling colored glow suddenly erupted on the surface of the old god statue, and it was really like the dragon lord had appeared, and a low and majestic dragon roar came out from the gathering of water droplets, making people tremble and their legs weak.

The few laborers on the ship saw such a strange scene so closely, their brains were already blank, they were completely shocked, and their whole bodies were trembling.

"...... Dragon King"

It was in this situation that they could understand that this was a real miracle, and not something that could be compared to the deceitful acrobatic tricks of the past!

After about half an hour had passed, the colored glow slowly dissipated, and finally what appeared in front of everyone was an almost new statue!

I saw the dragon lord sitting in human form, wearing a cyan dragon armor robe.

Although the appearance of the facial features has not changed much from before, there is a kind of majesty that comes out of the bones, and a pair of eyebrows and eyes are even more blazing, as if they are staring at the people in front of them, making people dare not even look at them.

It's as if all his secrets are hidden in his eyes, and it's as if the idol of this dragon lord will be resurrected at any time.

This kind of skill is definitely not something that ordinary mortal craftsmen can do, and I am afraid that only immortals can have such skills......

Several people secretly marveled in their hearts, and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few more times.

Finally, the idol flew back to the ship on its own, and landed steadily after a dull thud.

At the same time, all the movement on the surface of the lake had just ended, and it was as calm as if it had been an illusion before.

Only the lifelike statue of the ship seemed to announce what had happened.

After waiting for a while to make sure that everything was all right, several people on the boat, including the old boatman, dared to get up and look at the idol in the center of the boat.

After a closer look, I feel more and more that this idol is very realistic, and the temperament is completely different from before!

In contrast, the old idol in the past was like a green worm, unbearable, and the real idol in front of me was called the real god statue, which contained the spirituality of the gods!

Because of this, a few people suddenly realized that it was not the Dragon Lord who was angry with the way they handled them!

It was because the Dragon Lord was not satisfied that his image had been made ugly by mortals, which damaged the majesty of his immortals, so he decided to manifest himself and give this miracle!
