Immortals just want to get off work

Chapter 3
Substitutes, seizing homes, etc., similar, not-so-good words came to Du Kang's mind all of a sudden.

But then it was ruled out by his reason.

It's not impossible, but based on Bai Lao's previous performance and the conversation between the two, Du Kang felt that this possibility was extremely small. Compared with it, it should be another guess that was more likely - in the eyes of these people, He just looks old.

The fields that appeared before him in time confirmed Du Kang's guess.

[Guidance for beginners: Pretending——Considering the non-compliance nature of substituting work in most cases, after disguising, during the substituting process, in the eyes of other people except the client, you will be the original working person. Persons, including appearance, posture, voice, etc.

In addition, this disguise may be seen through by some special groups, and you can freely disarm it at your own will. 】

"As the co-author, you also know that substituting is illegal!" Du Kang thought to himself.

County magistrate Liu glanced at Du Kang, nodded arrogantly, and motioned to flatter the man: "Say it."

"Yes, my lord." The man nodded, came to Du Kang, and said with a smile on his face.

"Bai Lao, it's like this. You know it. In the year of disaster, isn't there a famine outside? The county magistrate cares about the people, so he specially came to Guandi Temple to build a golden body for Guan Gong with a meager salary and pray for the people. , to show sincerity to the people, this is a great thing, although you, Bai Lao, built this Guandi Temple with your own money, but you should not reject the county magistrate's love for the people, right?"

"……Oh, I see."

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 speaking skills, he was no match for these "people" in front of him.

To be able to do this illogical, open-eyed nonsense thing so confidently, so brightly and righteously, it seems that they really are a group of good officials who love the people like their own sons!
After removing those disgusting words, the man in front of him said another thing that caught Du Kang's attention the most.

"This Guandi Temple was actually funded and built by Bai Lao alone? This is very rich! Landlord, or wealthy businessman? Then he is in such a hurry to go back... Famine years, hungry people?"

Du Kang thought a lot in an instant, and he also understood why the flattering villain next to the county magistrate who could talk was also very respectful to him, kept smiling and even asked questions.

Then, Du Kang began to worry about whether Bai Lao could come back safely.

Things related to disaster years and hungry people are not something ordinary people can get involved in.

People still owe their wages!If this dies, where will I go to collect the debt?

"Since that's the case, did Mr. Bai just... agree?"

The flattering man heard the words and tried the way.

"The county magistrate loves the people like a son. In such a calamity year, he can still squeeze out a portion of his 'meager' salary to pray for Guan Gong's gilded body. It is really admirable."

Du Kang clasped his hands, smiled and 'admired': "Since this is the case, I naturally have no reason to hinder."

Anyway, this has nothing to do with me, at most it just needs a little more cleaning...

Du Kang is a person who does what he can, and right now he thinks he has absolutely no ability to reject this county magistrate, so he can only compromise.

The newly appeared text caught Du Kang's attention, and this time it skipped many lines.

【Beginner's guide:
1. Do your due diligence: During the substitute work, your seriousness will greatly affect your salary. If you want to get more salary, then please do your due diligence——(clean up the sanitation of Wusheng Palace, remove all filth).

2. The gods have eyes: the gods have eyes, and they sit and watch the world.Legends are not necessarily stories made up by people, but may also be things that really happened in history. 】

Du Kang: "!!!"

The first guides him to understand naturally, but the second...is that what it means?

Are the gods in this world real?

The statue of Guan Gong in the hall...

Du Kang felt his neck froze for an instant, and for some reason, he always felt a slight chill coming from his neck... Recalling what he said just now, he always felt that his head would fall to the ground in the next second?
But it is definitely impossible to stop him, at most he will be beaten in vain... And maybe this county magistrate Liu is expecting him to do that!You don't have to be so polite!

Du Kang's cold sweat was about to flow down.

"Wait... this is Guan Gong!"

Du Kang, who was thinking wildly, had a flash of inspiration.

Guan Gong, who combines loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and courage, can force himself to do things that are destined to be impossible?Still can't tell the culprit?

In this way, as long as you do your duty and remove "all filth" before the end of the substitute shift, as the novice guide said, 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 scrub you off this layer of filth afterwards, and treat it as a bath? My bathing skills are very good!"

Du Kang thought silently: "Ours has milk rub and salt rub, how about you calling it plastic gold rub? It's absolutely fresh! If you are not satisfied, just let me know? I will try my best to fix it!
If you don't make a sound, it's your default? "

There was no response - Du Kang was just asking for peace of mind, if there was a real response, then he would not need to make things difficult.

"Old Bai really understands things!" Hearing what Du Kang said, the flattering man was overjoyed, but at the same time couldn't conceal his surprise.

Obviously, he is very clear about the facts, and he may have prepared a bunch of drafts to persuade "Bai Lao", but he didn't expect "Bai Lao" to agree so quickly and so easily.

"Well, let's get started." County magistrate Liu nodded, looking a little disappointed, as if expecting Du Kang's objection, turned around to leave, stopped, and looked at Du Kang, "Do you have to go to school when you come?" Incense?"

Du Kang resisted it, and didn't look at him like a dead man... and offered incense, you want to give Guan Gong Wenxiang?Not dying fast enough?
Du Kang cursed inwardly, still with a gentle smile on his face, and began to make up things: "The magistrate is willing to build a golden body for Guan Gong. day."

"Well, that makes sense," County Magistrate Liu looked at the flattering man, "Didn't you say that this old man is difficult to speak, why do I think he speaks quite pleasantly?"

"This...Of course it's because of your devout heart, the county magistrate, that touched Mr. Bai. Before that, it was my heart of a villain who saved the belly of a gentleman." The flattering man almost didn't make it up.

"Hehe..." Magistrate Liu pointed at him twice with a smile, and the fat on his face trembled several times.

"Since that's the case, I'll punish you here to supervise the work. By the way, I will apologize to the old man. If there is any mistake, I will blame you."

The flattering man hurriedly made a promise, and County Magistrate Liu took the people away, leaving some workers to start working.

……

"Moulding a golden body, if he doesn't save the victims, how will 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 the previous performance, it is easy to see that this man is also very afraid of Bai Lao, and now that the two are alone, Du Kang naturally does not need to be polite.

"...Bai Lao doesn't know something, the current Holy One likes to enshrine Taoism and Buddha..."

Under Du Kang's oppression, the flattering man looked around in embarrassment, and then said in a low voice.

"If the offering is done well, the temple will be built, and the incense will be burned, it will naturally become a performance, and some hungry people... It's just a number that can be modified.

Before coming here, the county magistrate had already been to several temples and Taoist temples under the jurisdiction of this area. They wanted to make golden bodies for Buddha and Sanqing. Some abbots and Taoist chiefs disagreed, which directly caused the disaster of death. The temple will naturally be built by the county magistrate in the future...

Mr. Bai, you have insight into the details, and San Lang, who is an official, naturally don't have to worry, but don't tell outsiders again, so as not to make this county magistrate Liu jump over the wall in a hurry, and cause the disaster of killing him. , he was promoted and left... The villain is also persecuted and has no choice..."

Du Kang didn't press any more questions, everything is clear now.

Back in the main hall, those workers who were not strong had already started working.

Du Kang just stood aside and watched, watching those workers throwing materials everywhere, watching their feet trampling everywhere, watching the originally clean hall fall into chaos, gold powder was 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 there is a chance, Du Kang will never let go of that damn county magistrate!
……

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 moved his hands back and forth, using the utensils in his hands to file off the gold powder that was painted on the statue of Guan Gong during the day.

Even if there is no [Gods Have Eyes], Du Kang would have to do this. The substitute cleaning staff is to "remove all filthy things". This is a golden body deliberately created by corrupt officials in order to falsify their political achievements. It is definitely one of them .

This is considered delicate work, but fortunately, the skills Du Kang learned during his metalworking internship at school have not yet fallen behind, so he can barely do it.

The gold powder rustled down, and the copper color before Guan Gong's statue reappeared.

I don't know how much time it took. Du Kang put his hands on his hips and felt back pain. Naturally, he didn't need to lift his hands. However, looking at the statue of Guan Gong, which has recovered half of its original appearance, a sense of accomplishment surged in his heart.

Du Kang nodded in satisfaction, and was about to continue working when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

After thinking carefully and looking carefully, he paused and his body froze in place.

Du Kang has good eyesight and a good memory.

Therefore, he found out almost instantly, where in this hall, the place that he felt was inconsistent and wrong came from.

It was the eyes of the statue of Guan Gong in front of him...!

Those red phoenix eyes opened at some unknown time.

A word flashed in Du Kang's mind.

Avalokitesvara closes his eyes and does not save the world, but Guan Gong opens his eyes and will kill people!
PS: Shared diary ↓
　Because I came to Xi'an to rent together, it would be impossible not to climb Huashan Mountain.

　　As a mountaineering enthusiast, I have climbed Mount Huashan before, but that time I climbed at night, and I only watched the sunrise, but did not see the scenery along the way, so I thought it would be good to climb again, so I told Ah Listen to snow.

　　After hearing this, Axue objected because he didn’t want to die on the mountain. I took a look at Axue’s body shape and found it very reasonable, so I made a suggestion, “Then let’s get a fitness card and lose weight! Sitting for a long time is not good for your body. not good!"

　　After hearing this, Axue readily agreed.

　　then……

　　On the first day, Ashe: "Gee."

　　On the second day, Ashue: "Googoo."

　　On the third day, Ashe: "Cuckoo."

　　I gradually realized that Ashue's pigeon attributes seem to be much more serious than mine.
