Chapter Ninety-Eight: Chenghuang Changing the Soul for Sun (Two in One)
"This matter is also a coincidence, and it is a long story......
"Let's make a long story short." Du Kang interrupted the spell and said, "Don't write a report to state it, just summarize the situation and make it clear." ”
Since he has become more and more able to accept the setting that immortals also need to go to work, Du Kang has found that there is no difference between immortals and workers, whether they want to take a vacation or want to take a vacation, and whether they don't want to write a report or don't want to write a report.
Writing reports, making tables, and doing PPT are probably things that all migrant workers are tired of.
In the system, there are even more reports, and the water injection is extremely serious, and a report that can be written in 100 words can basically be expanded to thousands or even 10,000 words...... This is talking about the system of immortals, and the other Du Kang has never seen it, so he doesn't understand it, but he doesn't dare to talk nonsense.
Du Kang had seen the reports written by Guicheng Chenghuang, hundreds of thousands of words were written without a trace of hesitation, and if you looked closely, it would only take about a hundred words to summarize it...... It can only be said that it is worthy of being the ultimate old fritter who has worked for hundreds of years, and this ability to write reports and inject water is simply perfect, and it may even become a passive skill.
It was precisely because he was worried about the universality of this passive technique that Du Kang interrupted him when the land lord was about to start...... It's annoying to write a report, and it's also annoying to listen to a report!
"E......" The land lord was interrupted like this, and the manuscript that had just emerged with no less than 100,000 words was suddenly beaten away, and he thought about it for a long time, unable to hold back his words.
"Don't tell me you won't say it if you don't write the report?" Du Kang thought of a possibility and asked in shock.
"Not really, Xiaoshen just thinks it's a pity......" As soon as the land lord finished speaking, he saw Du Kang's eyes began to become dangerous, and hurriedly spoke.
"The little god just said! In fact, the soul of that Li Tongju was replaced by Chenghuang! The real Li Tongju died a long time ago! ”
"Go on." Du Kang's eyes softened again, and he said in a gentle tone, "Tell me all the details of what you know." ”
"Okay...... At that time, Li Tongju had just been sentenced to the official residence, and it was the time when the spring breeze was proud, but he suddenly contracted a serious illness, and later his family went to a Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest laid the altar to practice, and then Li Tong's sentence was good. The land lord said.
But in fact, Li Tong's illness was a bit strange. is a child of a rich family, he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and he didn't have any disease before, let alone contracted the cold or encountered anything else...... How could you suddenly fall ill?
At that time, his housekeeper Fu Bo came to me to burn incense and ask for blessings, and I wanted to go to see it, but I was stopped by Cheng Huang, saying that Fu Bo also went to him to burn incense, and it was good to leave this matter to him.
It's nothing here, after all, the order of the city god is not easy to disobey...... However, when I later learned that a Taoist priest had come to solve the problem, I had doubts in my heart.
Because, the power of the city god will definitely be able to solve it by itself, why do you have to rely on the Taoist priest to send this incense out for no reason?
Intrigued, I went to investigate...... But he discovered an amazing secret - this Taoist priest is the great-grandson of Chenghuang!
After discovering this, I realized that something was wrong, so I went to investigate again, and found that the Taoist priest had died afterwards, and his body was quietly buried by Chenghuang...... After that, Li Tongju got better! And from time to time, he also offers all kinds of good things to the city god......"
“…… So, do you mean that you suspect that Chenghuang bent the law for personal gain, and secretly killed Li Tongju, who should have been in good health, so that his great-grandson, that is, the Taoist priest, exchanged souls with Li Tongju, so as to obtain glory and wealth, and Chenghuang also enjoyed more incense offerings? Du Kang asked.
"The little god just discovered these things, and as for the specific truth, the little god must not know...... Haha......" The land official smiled, and did not answer positively, obviously not wanting to take the blame.
"Hmm...... So I didn't say it before, because I was afraid of being retaliated against by Chenghuang, and I didn't have a suitable channel to report it to the next level, right? Du Kang nodded and said, obviously the content of the interrogative sentence, but he used the tone of an affirmative sentence.
"What is not there, what is not there...... The little god just didn't dare to conclude......" The land lord pale and feebly argued.
"It doesn't matter." Du Kang doesn't dwell on this.
Some people are brave and righteous, and some people steal their lives; Some people are selfless, and some people are wise enough to protect themselves or bend the law for personal gain...... It must be the same in the immortals, this land is just because it doesn't involve its own interests, and it doesn't want to take this risk to report.
"But then I'm curious about one thing, you didn't report what happened before, so why did you report it this time?" Du Kang asked again.
This is a strange point, it was reasonable to protect one's self before, but I didn't say it before, and now I say why?
Du Kang knew that something must have happened in the middle that caused such a change in the land public.
"The little god didn't say it, the little god just felt that this time Li Tong's death was a little strange...... "The land lord doesn't want to take the blame."
"Hmm...... Indeed, since he has changed his soul and enjoyed this rich and noble life, why did he die again? Since he is a great-grandson, then Chenghuang should help him. Du Kang thought for a moment and nodded.
The body of Li Tongju before didn't look like it was well maintained...... It can't be that Chenghuang has the ability to change souls, but he doesn't have the ability to help his great-grandson take care of his body, right?
"That's all the little god knows, ...... you look at it," the land lord smiled and cautiously tested.
"Don't worry, there's another question you haven't explained." Du Kang was not in a hurry to leave, and continued to ask, "The soul restoration technique is not the soul devouring technique, since the soul of the Chenghuang great-grandson was replaced in Li Tongju's body, and then his body was buried...... What about the soul of Li Tongju? Where was it sent? ”
"This ...... Presumably he was sent to the underworld to be reincarnated? I don't know much about this little god, I haven't seen Li Tongju's soul from beginning to end......" The land lord was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously.
"Really? But if I remember correctly, there seems to be a clear provision in your job responsibilities that you are responsible for guiding the ghosts in the jurisdiction area to go to the City God Temple, and after the trial and inquiry, they will be sent to the underworld, right? Du Kang smiled slightly, lowered his head and touched Xiao Xuan's head.
"I knew that Chenghuang had changed the soul of his great-grandson but didn't report it, which is barely reasonable, after all, it seems that there is no clear provision in your job responsibilities that you must report the illegal operation of your boss...... But ignoring the ghosts of the dead in the domain is a dereliction of duty. ”
Du Kang looked up at the land lord who had obviously become nervous, and said softly: "Dereliction of duty, whether it is big or small, generally depends on the serious consequences caused by the matter. If it's just a ghost lingering and harassing others, then at most it's a punishment like writing a review.
But if it is an official who affects the yang world, the general judgment also involves a large amount of property, as well as the vicious incident of intentional murder...... It seems that it will be able to go bigger.
Let me think about it, if the impact of the dereliction of duty is big enough, then the suspension and reflection ......"
As soon as he said this, Du Kang noticed that Di Gong's eyes lit up, and he immediately reacted and changed his words: "It's absolutely impossible." ”
I almost forgot that the suspension of work seems to be no different from the long-awaited holiday for these immortals, so if this is the case, it will be a reward rather than a punishment for them!
"On the contrary, not only will it not let you be suspended for reflection, but it will also increase and aggravate your work tasks, so that you can make up for the mistakes you have made, and exercise your work ability, and then maybe the scope of your responsibility will cover the entire county, plus the surrounding villages, the most important thing is that there is not much power yet, and the salary is about the same as before, and it is still the lowest ......"
Every word is like a knife, every sentence pierces the heart, Du Kang directly combined all his understanding of immortals during this period of time, and said all the most terrifying possibilities.
"Shangxian, Shangxian don't be like this! The little god is wrong! ”
The effect of Du Kang's words was particularly significant, the land lord did not hesitate for long at all, almost half of what he heard, and before Du Kang finished speaking, he knelt directly on the ground, begging bitterly.
"Be lenient in confession and strict in resistance," Du Kang said, "I'm not an unreasonable person, so you shouldn't be too involved in this matter, so don't add difficulty to my work, now, tell me, why didn't you report it back then, but this time you thought about it?"
Although you deliberately concealed it in order to get rid of yourself, it means that you must have meant this, that is, you want this whole thing to be discovered and revealed, what happened in it, and make you think like this? ”
Du Kang leaned forward slightly, put a certain amount of pressure on his posture, and asked with half-squinted eyes: "Could it be that what Chenghuang did is actually far more serious than this, so serious that you think that even if you just don't report it, you will be punished afterwards, so you don't dare not report it?" ”
"No, no, it's not that serious...... At least as far as the little god knows, it's not that serious. The land lord hurriedly shook his head, then gritted his teeth and said, "The little god is just bullied too heavily by the city god on weekdays......"
"Bullying? Let's take it into detail. Du Kang raised his eyebrows, this word seems to be used a bit seriously?
"Yes, it's a bully!"
As long as some things are started, the back is like pouring beans into a bamboo tube and saying it all, just like the land lord.
After listening to the land lord for a while, Du Kang understood what was going on - classic workplace bullying.
It is nothing more than "you do the troublesome trivial things, and I will lie down on the simple good things", "I enjoy the blessings, and you bear the difficulties", "Your incense is my incense, and my incense is still my incense".
Once or twice, because of the level of his position and the reason of his subordinates, the land lord probably put up with it. However, according to the land lord, Chenghuang has recently had a trend of developing in the direction of "you can do my work, and the incense in your hand is mine...... Isn't that just wanting free labor?
It's all part-time jobs, who is used to you!
The land lord thought about it for a while, and coupled with the matter of Li Tong's judgment, it reminded him of the previous incident, and he had a handle in his hand, so of course he would report it directly.
Therefore, when you are a boss, it is better to be kind to your subordinates, or even if you are not good, you can't suppress or bully them in a bad direction, just treat them as ordinary colleagues, otherwise...... People must make mistakes, and once they make mistakes and get caught, it will be difficult to do.
It can only be said that the land lord is still too cowardly, and he doesn't want to cause trouble when he reports it, so he found a compromise, which theoretically can take himself out.
Otherwise, if you report it directly to Guicheng Chenghuang, you won't be able to wait for Du Kang to come!
Although Guicheng Chenghuang is eager to take a vacation, he has never been absent from work before he has found a substitute shift in the past few hundred years, so he can know that he is a very serious person at work, and if he encounters such a thing, he will definitely not tolerate it...... Ah, wait.
Thinking of this, Du Kang suddenly realized one thing, didn't he take charge of Guicheng Chenghuang instead?
Although it is now outsourced and handed over to the Shingon Taoist, in essence, it is still in the process of substitute work!
So...... Use the identity of the city god of Guicheng to deal with this city god of Guibei County, and then use the identity of a demon slayer to deal with the demon Dao who wants to exchange souls with Li Tong in the future?
No, it seems that it can be calculated, and Chenghuang is also in charge of this matter...... Can you make two ends in this wave?
Du Kang was thoughtful.
Judging from the performance of the land lord, there should not be too many lies in this matter, so if the subjective factors are discarded, the general context of the whole thing is almost clear.
The last question left is nothing more than - why did the great-grandson of Chenghuang change his soul into Li Tongju's body, and he will die after all these years, but it seems that his soul is still there, but Chenghuang does not care?
This question will definitely not be asked here by the land lord.
Du Kang decided to go directly to ask the Guibei County Chenghuang Zun.
Guessing games, Du Kang has never liked it, because he has to use his brain, it's too troublesome, he is lazy, it's better to let people say it directly...... It's like he prefers to watch a storyteller rather than play a game of script killing.
Artificially shaped puzzles must be set aside by coincidence, which means that every word and sentence seen must be carefully considered and connected. And the puzzles that are born naturally generally have all kinds of coincidences, because reality sometimes does not require logic, and it is very likely to be deliberated for a long time, just a bunch of coincidences put together, and then all the mistakes are made, wasting brainpower in vain.
Until then, though......
"I have to go back to Guicheng first and borrow the Chenghuang seal to use," Du Kang thought to himself, "The truth will definitely be quite moved by the time, although the work of the Chenghuang is outsourced to him, I still care about it, and I don't just ignore ......it."
PS: It's all to blame Ah Xue and Ah Xing, pull me out to eat, and I'll return to normal update time tomorrow, definitely!
Chong Chong Chong, there are still two hours, eight thousand I can!
Ulla!
