Chapter 3 Guan Gong opened his eyes
Stand-in, snatching, etc., similar, not very good words suddenly appeared in Du Kang's mind.
But then it was excluded by his reason.
It's not impossible, but based on Bai Lao's performance and the conversation between the two before, Du Kang feels that this possibility is extremely small, compared to it, it should be another guess that is more likely - in the eyes of these people, he just looks like Bai Lao.
The fields that surfaced in time confirmed Du Kang's suspicions.
[Novice guide: camouflage - considering the non-compliant nature of substitute work in most cases, after camouflage, in the process of substitute work, in the eyes of the rest of the people except the client, etc., will be the original worker, including appearance, posture, voice, etc.]
In addition, this disguise may be seen through by some special groups, and you can freely remove it if you wish. γ
"You know that substitute work is not compliant!" Du Kang thought to himself.
Liu Xianling glanced at Du Kang, nodded arrogantly, and motioned to the flattering man: "You say." β
"Yes, sir." The man nodded, came to Du Kang, and said with a smile.
"Bai Lao, that's the case, you also know, the year of the disaster from the sky, isn't there a famine outside, the county order is concerned about the people, specially come to the Guandi Temple, with a meager salary, for the Guan Gong to shape the golden body, pray for the people, to show sincerity for the people, this is a great thing, although this Guandi Temple is Bai Lao you funded and built with your own efforts, but should not refuse the county commander's love for the people, right?"
ββ¦β¦ Oh, I see. β
Du Kang was silent for a while, and had to admit that he was still too young, especially in terms of thickness of skin and speech, he couldn't compare to these "people" in front of him.
can make this illogical, open-eyed nonsense thing so straightforward, so upright and magnificent, as if they are really a group of good officials who love the people like sons!
In addition to those disgusting words, another thing that the man in front of him said was what Du Kang paid the most attention to.
"This Guandi Temple was actually funded by Bai Lao alone? That's a lot of money! Landlord, or wealthy businessman? Then he was in such a hurry to go back...... A year of calamity, hungry people? β
Du Kang thought a lot in an instant, and also understood why the flattering villain who could speak next to the county order also had a very respectful attitude towards himself, and he kept smiling and even inquiring.
Then, Du Kang began to worry about whether Bai Lao would be able to come back safely.
It is not something that ordinary people can get involved in disaster years and starvations.
People still owe their wages! If this is dead, where will I go to collect the debt?
"In that case, Bai Lao is...... Promised? β
The flattering man heard the words and said tentatively.
"The county order loves the people like a son, and in such a disaster year, he can still squeeze out a portion of his 'meager' money to pray for Guan Gong's gold-plated body, which is really admirable."
Du Kang arched his hand and smiled 'in admiration': "Since this is the case, I naturally have no reason to hinder it." β
Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, at most, I just need to clean a little more......
Du Kang is a man who does what he can, and at the moment he thinks that he has absolutely no ability to refuse this county order, so he can only compromise.
The new text that appeared in front of him caught Du Kang's attention, and this time it was a jump of many lines.
γBeginner Guide:
1. Due diligence: During the work period, your seriousness will greatly affect the salary, if you want to get more salary, then please be conscientious - (clean up the Wusheng Palace, before the end of the substitute shift, remove all filth).
2. Gods have eyes: Gods have eyes and sit and watch the world. Legends are not necessarily all stories made up by people, but they may also be things that really happened in history. γ
Du Kang: "!! β
The first leads him to understand naturally, but this second ...... Is that what it means?
Are the gods of this world real?
The statue of Guan Gong in the hall......
Du Kang instantly felt that his neck froze, and for some reason he always felt a slight coolness coming from his neck...... Thinking back to what you just said, you always feel that your head will fall to the ground in the next second?
But it must not be stopped, at most it will be beaten in vain...... And maybe this Liu County Commander is looking forward to doing that! Don't be so polite!
Du Kang's cold sweat was about to run down.
"Wait...... This is Guan Gong! β
Du Kang, who was thinking wildly, had a flash of inspiration.
Guan Gong, who is loyal, righteous, benevolent, and brave, can he still force himself to do things that he is destined to be unable to do? Will you still not be able to tell the culprit?
In this way, as long as you do your due diligence and follow the instructions of the novice guide, you should be able to get rid of "all the filth" before the end of the substitute shift, and you should still be fine!
"Guan Gong, don't blame me, there are so many people on the other side, I can't beat it...... How about I rub off this layer of filth for you afterwards, just as a bath? I'm good at scrubbing! β
Du Kang silently thought in his heart: "We have milk rubbing and salt rubbing, how about you call it plastic gold rubbing?" Absolutely fresh! If you're not satisfied, make a noise? I'll do my best!
If you don't say anything, you will acquiesce? β
There is no response - Du Kang is just asking for peace of mind, if there is a response, then he doesn't need to be embarrassed.
"Bai Lao really knows everything!" Hearing what Du Kang said, the flattering man was overjoyed, but also couldn't hide his surprise.
Obviously, he is also clear about the facts, maybe he has already prepared a bunch of drafts to persuade "Bai Lao", but he didn't expect "Bai Lao" to agree so quickly and easily.
"Well, let's get started." Liu Xianling nodded, looking a little disappointed, as if expecting Du Kang's objection, turned around to leave, stopped again, and looked at Du Kang, "Do you have to have a few sticks of incense when you come?" β
Du Kang endured it and didn't look at him with the eyes of a dead man...... Also incense, do you want to smell Xiang for Guan Gong? Don't die fast enough?
Du Kang scolded in his heart, still with a gentle smile on his face, and began to make up nonsense: "The county magistrate is willing to mold the golden body for Guan Gong, which is already a great thing, and if you put incense again, it will be a little too much, so it is better to leave it for another day." β
"Well, that makes sense," Liu Xianling looked at the flattering man, "Didn't you say that this old man was difficult to talk to, why do I think he said it quite well?" β
"This ...... Of course, it was because of the pious heart of the county commander that Bai Lao was moved, and it was my villain's heart before, and I was in the belly of a gentleman. "The flattering man almost didn't make it up.
"Hehe......" Liu Xianling pointed at him twice with a smile, and the fat on his face shook several times.
"In that case, then punish you for supervising the work here, and by the way, make amends to the old man, if there is anything wrong, I will ask you."
The flattering man hurriedly assured in a panic that Liu Xian Ling took the people away, leaving some workers to start doing things.
β¦β¦
"Shaping the golden body, not disaster people, how can he deal with the court?"
After signaling the flattering man to come to a secluded place with him, Du Kang asked with a cold face.
From his previous performance, it was easy to see that this man was also very jealous of Bai Lao, and now that the two of them were alone, Du Kang naturally did not need to be polite.
ββ¦β¦ Bai Lao doesn't know that today's saints like to worship Taoist Buddha......"
Under Du Kang's oppression, the flattering man looked left and right in embarrassment, and then said in a low voice.
"If this offering is done well, the temple is built, and the incense is heavy, it will naturally become a performance, and a little hungry people...... It's just a number that can be modified.
Before coming here, the county order has been to several temples and Taoist temples in the jurisdiction of this party, and they all want to give the Buddha and Sanqing a golden body......
Bai Lao, you have insight into everything, plus San Lang, who is an official, naturally you don't have to worry, but don't tell outsiders again, so as not to provoke this Liu County Linggou to jump off the wall in a hurry and cause death, and endure it, and after the year, he will be promoted and left...... The villain is also persecuted and has no way to ......"
Du Kang didn't ask again, and by this point, everything was clear.
Back in the main hall, the workers who were not very strong had already begun to work.
Du Kang just stood aside and watched, watching the workers throw materials around, watching their feet step everywhere, watching the originally clean hall fall into a mess, and the gold dust melted and painted on the statue of Guan Gong......
On Du Kang's face, a "kind" smile gradually appeared.
Not to mention anything else, just adding such a heavy workload to himself, if he has the chance, Du Kang will definitely not let go of that damn county order!
β¦β¦
Late at night.
In the empty hall, only one person was moving, and the strange sound of hard objects rubbing against each other resounded.
Du Kang's hands moved back and forth, using the utensils in his hands to file the gold dust that had only been painted on the statue of Guan Gong during the day.
Even if there is no [god has eyes], Du Kang has to do this, and the substitute cleaner is "to remove all filth", which comes from the golden body deliberately shaped by corrupt officials in order to falsify political achievements, and it is definitely one of them.
This is a delicate job, but fortunately, the skills that Du Kang learned during his metalworking internship at school have not fallen behind, and he can barely do it.
The gold dust poured down, and the bronze color before the statue of Guan Gong reappeared.
I don't know how much time it took, Du Kang crossed his hands on his waist, and suddenly felt a sore back, and his hands naturally didn't need to be mentioned, but looking at the statue of Guan Gong in front of him, which had recovered most of its original appearance, a sense of accomplishment came to his heart.
Du Kang nodded in satisfaction, and was about to continue his work, when he suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
After thinking carefully and looking carefully, he made a move, and his body froze in place.
Du Kang's eyesight is very good, and his memory is also good.
Therefore, he almost instantly found out where the place in this hall, where he felt disobedient and wrong, came from.
It was the statue of Guan Gong in front of him...... Eyes!
Those Danfeng eyes, I don't know when, opened.
A sentence flashed in Du Kang's heart.
Guanyin closes his eyes and does not save the world, Guan Gong opens his eyes, and he will kill people!
