Chapter 686: Scramble (4,000 words)

Such a thought suddenly popped up in the minds of several people-does this also mean that the Dragon Lord has approved of their plan and even expressed his support with practical actions?!

Thinking of this, everyone was overjoyed, and knelt down and kowtowed several times again before carefully rowing the boat to the shore by the boatman.

After waiting on the shore, the previous petty official hurriedly came forward to greet him, surrounded by everyone, but he couldn't help but be startled when he really saw the idol at such a close distance.

So much so that he was quite afraid and did not dare to rush forward.

I'm afraid that this lifelike idol of the Dragon Lord will suddenly come to life!

It was not until the workers had carefully lifted the idol ashore from the deck, and there was no movement at all, that they relaxed a little, and had the courage to step forward and take a closer look.

Immediately, I had to sigh that it was worthy of the immortal miracle descended by the gods, it was so realistic, even the scales were so delicate, and the hair and beard were clearly visible, as if it was a real dragon!

Immediately, there was an inspiration in his heart, and he thought of other aspects, and immediately cleared his throat and commanded loudly: "Since the Dragon Lord has already sent down miracles to support us, we must not let the Dragon Lord down!"

Then he pointed to the workers: "Hurry up, hurry up, please return the statue given by the Dragon King to the Dragon King Temple, by the way, you have to light a few incense sticks, please respectfully, don't let the Dragon Lord think that we don't know how to be polite!" ”

Finally, he turned his head and instructed the officials on the side: "By the way, and you go and inform the prefect and report what happened here, this is great news, don't delay!" ”

"Yes!"

The servant nodded hurriedly, turned around and ran into the distance.

The petty official nodded with satisfaction, looking at the statue and feeling more and more wise and powerful.

Originally, it was a little unsafe to say that the construction of the embankment was a little unsafe, but with this one, I was not afraid that those iron roosters would not pay for it.

And this is indeed the purpose of Du Bai's deliberate effort to make such a play.

I just want to build momentum for this government and promote the progress of this project!

Why not do such a good thing for the benefit of the people?

Especially when he felt the power of the sentient beings around him who were converging towards the dragon king statue he had given, he was even more happy.

Of course, he deliberately made a dragon king statue not casually, but deliberately left a part of the dragon ball breath in it.

This part of the aura can help him automatically gather and absorb the wishes of those beings, which can be regarded as saving him a lot of energy.

As long as the incense of the Dragon King Temple continues in the future, then he almost only needs to sit and wait for the power of the wish.

And on the premise that he can play the role of the Dragon King, the incense of the Dragon King Temple will definitely not be lacking in the future.

This can be regarded as forming a virtuous circle, which is endless.

Even after the dam is completed, you may be able to reap some unexpected surprises.

However, these are future events, and it is not clear how exactly it will develop.

In fact, it wasn't until the next day that Du Bai realized that he had underestimated the impact of these miracles he had brought down.

You must know that the status of immortals and gods in this ancient society is still very lofty, far from being comparable to modern scientific societies.

There is no superstition here, because the gods really exist!

Although over the years, because the immortal god has been absent for a long time, this atmosphere has gradually dropped a little, but once a real "immortal" appears in front of everyone, it can instantly activate this excitement that has been silent for a long time, bringing a very huge response!

For example, in the early morning of this day, Du Bai was exercising with the guards in the mansion, but he saw Wanmiao suddenly come over and look for him.

During this time, especially after the advent of Liuli, I don't know if it is imperceptible, Wanmiao's control of the Su family is no longer as insistent as before, but will take the initiative to hand over some power to Du Bai, and some important matters will be discussed with him before making decisions.

This should be a good thing, at least let Du Bai share some of the burden on her shoulders for her, so that she won't work as hard as before.

He has also discovered that during this period of time, Wanmiao has been having fewer and fewer nightmares, indicating that it does have some effect.

This time, he thought that Wan Miaoxun was just going to discuss some business matters, but when he heard her explain the reason, his face became a little strange.

"Xianggong, I heard that the dragon king temple is being built in the city in order to thank the dragon lord, many people are rushing to donate money and materials, and I heard that if you can preside over the construction of the dragon king temple, if you can build a majestic style to please the dragon lord, maybe you will also get the benefits of the immortals."

"Even if it's just donating money, it's a filial piety to the Dragon King."

"Why don't we donate some money too, maybe we can try our luck too......"

After selling the glaze, the Su family's family background became rich in an instant, although the temporary foundation is still a little weak, but the cash in the hand is not weaker than that of the big family in Lin'an, and naturally there is capital to fight for it.

Wan Miao made a suggestion, and slowly analyzed it from the perspective of giving and gaining, as if she would rather believe it.

Du Bai couldn't help crying and laughing when he heard this, he didn't expect it to be this thing!

Should he be allowed to pay for the construction of a temple dedicated to the false body he had made? That's a bit weird......

It's a waste of money!

However, he didn't want to say the reason directly, so he just smiled helplessly and shook his head: "We still don't have to get involved in this matter, let's let them fight." ”

Wan Miao couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and asked suspiciously, "Why?" I inquired and learned that the Dragon Lord appeared again yesterday, and even took the initiative to descend a god statue! After hearing the news, many people rushed to the government overnight with their money, all of them wanted to grab a top spot and fight for the blood......"

Du Bai was a little stunned, he didn't expect the scramble to be so fierce!

Immediately, he couldn't help but say a little funny: "As far as I know, this West Lake Dragon King is not a vain immortal, and it should pay more attention to the embankment being built than the Dragon King Temple." ”

"Instead of spending money to compete for the construction of a virtual Dragon King Temple, it is better to donate money to build a dam, which can follow the Dragon King's wishes, and it is a good thing for the people."

After listening to it, Wanmiao also felt that there seemed to be some truth. nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at Du Bai with some curiosity: "Xianggong, why did you hear you say that you seem to be quite familiar with the Dragon King?" ”

Du Bai was stunned, thought about it, and then pretended to be mysterious and said: "Actually, I have known the Dragon King for a long time, and we have a very good relationship. If you want to make friends with it, you don't have to bother to build the Dragon King Temple, and your husband and I can take you to meet it! ”

If these words fell into the ears of others, they might think that Du Bai was bragging, but Wanmiao really believed it, but he didn't believe it all.

After all, in her cognition, the gods and the ghosts she had seen before were not the same concept at all! That is the existence that rightfully dominates the world in the sky, and its status is extremely extraordinary!

And even if Xiang Gong has extraordinary powers and can communicate with ghosts and gods, he should not have reached that level.

In her mind, even if Du Bai really knew the Dragon King, it was unlikely that he would be an equal friend, and at most he could only be more accessible to ordinary mortals.

Of course, even if it's just that, it's far better than others, and I don't know how many people will envy it.

But if he really let him take the risk of offending the dragon king to take her to meet for this, and make the dragon king think disrespectful, it would be more than worth the loss.

Maybe it will hurt the public's reputation.

Therefore, she was very intimate and did not force it because of a momentary curiosity, but said gently: "This is not necessary, I believe in you." However, our Su family's house is safe and everything is going well, so there is no need to ask the Dragon King for blessing. ”

It can be seen that Wanmiao belongs to the type of small rich and safe in this regard, and she does not covet anything, the most important thing for her is the peace and happiness of her family.

Du Bai didn't really have to prove what he said, he didn't want these ghosts and gods to be involved in his family, at least in the Su family, if he could live peacefully, he would be satisfied.

After the end of the conversation, Wanmiao temporarily let go of her previous thoughts, but after Du Bai's suggestion, she still chose to donate money directly to the next really important embankment construction project.

This is a good thing that will benefit future generations, and it is a matter of course.

And in the afternoon, Du Bai remembered what Wanmiao said about "scrambling", and couldn't help but be a little concerned, and then he simply left his body again, planning to see what kind of situation was going to be by the West Lake.

After he flew over, he was shocked to see that the Dragon King Temple was indeed surrounded by people, some were domestic servants wearing a certain family costume, some were young masters, and of course, there were some rather dignified elders.

Most of them are ordinary people. Especially now that you can watch the excitement, a group of people all gathered around.

But if you really want to talk about it, in fact, the most of them still want to see and worship the statue of the dragon king himself.

Many people can't help but be curious to see how different this immortal statue is.

It's just that when they saw it for the first time, many people were frightened, and almost thought that the real dragon king was watching them.

It's so realistic!

Even the majestic appearance was very similar to what they had imagined, exactly the same!

Du Bai also took it for granted when he saw their surprised looks, after all, after condensing the wishes of all beings, he could already make this idol according to the most common image in the subconscious of the masses.

It would be absolutely correct to say that this idol was the most in line with their expectations.

When these people came back to their senses, their admiration for the dragon king became more and more high, and many people even felt that this idol might be the incarnation of the dragon king, and everything they did could not escape the eyes of the gods!

Many people didn't care about the dirty environment in front of the temple, and knelt down to worship, their eyes were quite fanatical.

In addition, Du Bai paid more attention to the big families who wanted to donate money to build the Dragon King Temple.

The actual situation is similar to what Wanmiao said, and the atmosphere is quite intense.

But I think it should be the morning when the real excitement comes, and at this moment the farce here has almost died down and the dust has settled, and the decisions that should have been made have been made.

Judging from the current results, it is not which family wins the first prize, but each family contributes a part, which can not only raise enough money, but also calm the anger of the people, which is not bad.

As for those who really have money and have nowhere to go, don't worry, because there are still projects to build the embankment waiting to be donated.

Du Bai watched in the air for a while, and saw that the atmosphere present was relatively harmonious, and there was no big mess, so he finally relaxed a little.

Maybe it's also because in front of the Dragon King Temple, there is a dragon king watching, everyone doesn't dare to be too presumptuous, at least on the surface, they are still a group of people, and they are smiling at each other, but what is going on in secret, it is not what Du Bai cares about.

Expecting that the next matter of the embankment should also be carried out smoothly, Du Bai watched for a while before leaving, but just as he turned around, he suddenly noticed a strange aura, which made his eyes change a little, and looked in the direction where the aura came from.

I saw four people standing on the shore of the West Lake, two of them were wearing simple Taoist robes, unpretentious, and some were wearing monk's robes, and there was also no luxurious decoration.

And it stands to reason that the West Lake should have forbidden idle people to approach at this moment, and there are officers and soldiers patrolling there, if ordinary people were as close to the lake as they are, it is estimated that they would have been stopped a long time ago.

However, at this moment, those officers and soldiers seemed to turn a blind eye to them, and even passed by at a very close distance, without squinting, and did not pay attention to the existence of these people at all.

It's as if in the eyes of these mortals, these few are air.

And the men didn't have any fear of the soldiers, and they didn't even look back, they kept talking to the lake, as if they were seriously discussing something.

"Tricks?"

Being able to cut off the sight of so many people without the slightest effort, these people are by no means mortal!

Immediately, Du Bai's expression was straight, and he saw one of the Taoist priests gently flick his sleeves, and then stepped on the surface of the lake.

And it was as if it were standing on flat ground, without the slightest sign of sinking!

You can even see that his shoes are not wet!

Immediately, several other people also followed, and they also walked freely on the water, as if walking on the ground, which was unusual.

And more importantly, the goal of these people seems to be in the center of the lake, and it seems to be slow, but in fact it is ten steps and one step, and they are quickly approaching in that direction!
