HCB Chapter 377: Same old trick? Comeback?
Chapter 377: Same old trick? Comeback?
Qin Wan looked around and hid behind a rockery.
"Be careful, this is a golden statue made for the Imperial Master, we must make it right.
Only in this way can the Imperial Master calm down and forgive our previous disrespect, understand?"
The mustachioed foreman put his hands behind his back and spoke arrogantly to the helpers who were repairing the golden body.
The helpers worked more carefully and meticulously.
Seeing everyone's serious attitude, the foreman walked towards the pavilion with satisfaction.
The pavilion was originally surrounded by lake water, but now due to drought, the lake water has almost dried up.
The foreman quickly walked through the glaring sun and came to the pavilion, where he gulped down a few glasses of water. The feeling of heat then eased a lot.
He picked up the fan on the table, flopped down on the recliner, and hummed a leisurely tune.
Humming a little tune and fanning himself.
"You're not going to help, are you comfortable lying here?"
A joking voice sounded in his ears.
The foreman, who was strolling leisurely, suddenly opened his eyes and looked around.
No one was around.
The foreman scratched his ear and asked, "Did I just hallucinate?"
As he was speaking, the foreman felt dizzy and his eyes suddenly became empty.
"Tell me? Who asked you to rebuild the imperial master's golden body here?"
"Someone gave me one thousand taels of silver and asked me to organize a group of people to volunteer to help rebuild the imperial master's golden body."
The foreman replied hesitantly.
There was indeed someone behind this.
Is he trying to make a comeback by using the same old tricks to absorb the people's luck?
"Who is that person? Where is he now? Where did you meet?"
The foreman shook his head:
"I don't know who he is, or where he is. Some time ago, when I was sleeping at home, he took the initiative to find me and gave me one thousand taels of silver."
"Besides the silver, what else did that man give you?"
"Give me a white porcelain statue of the imperial master."
Qin Wan's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm, "You are still a thief with such a heart."
"Where is the white porcelain statue now?"
"It was placed inside the remodeled golden body of the Imperial Master."
It was undoubtedly someone from the Changsheng Sect, but that person deliberately concealed his whereabouts, so it would be impossible to catch him.
It doesn't matter if we can't catch the person, as that will ruin their conspiracy.
You want to recreate the image of the national master, right? Haha.
Qin Wan glanced at the unconscious foreman and walked towards the open space in front of the rockery.
There, the helpers were devoutly reshaping the golden body of the imperial master.
I don't know when they started the construction, but the golden statue is already half completed.
The white porcelain statue should be hidden in the half-finished golden statue.
"Boom!"
In broad daylight, a loud thunder suddenly exploded overhead.
The helpers were startled. One of them had a shaking hand and the carving knife in his hand became unstable, leaving a deep scratch on the statue of the national master.
The man was shocked at having offended the imperial teacher.
Before he could figure out how to remedy the situation, there was a loud bang and thunder exploded again above his head.
This time, one of the helpers finally reacted and shouted into the air:
"Run! The thunder is about to strike!"
As he said this, he rolled down the ladder and ran away.
The other helpers were afraid of being struck by lightning if they ran away too late, so they ran as far away as possible.
After Qin Wan saw all the helpers move away from the statue, he moved his fingertips.
The thunder finally fell on the statue.
Click!
The first course.
Click.
The second way.
Click.
The third way.
Several bolts of lightning struck the statue in succession.
The newly built statue was shattered by the flying rocks.
When the helpers who had just run away saw this scene, they screamed in fear.
He ran towards the front hall, shouting:
"The Imperial Master's statue was struck by lightning! The Imperial Master's statue was struck by lightning! The Imperial Master's statue was struck by lightning!"
The front hall was filled with people kneeling and praying, so they naturally noticed the thunder in the backyard.
The helpers who were repairing the statue of the national master ran out from the backyard in fear, still shouting incoherently that they were hit by a sword.
Some people who didn't understand what was going on immediately stopped a helper and asked:
"What happened in the backyard? What are you yelling about?"
When the workers saw so many people in the hall, their frightened hearts calmed down a little.
He took a breath and pointed to the backyard and said:
"National Master, the National Master looks like he was struck by lightning!"
"what?"
"what!"
The whole hall was in an uproar.
In folk stories, only demons and monsters will be struck by lightning.
In the perception of ordinary people, being struck by lightning is not a good thing.
But who could tell them why the statue of the national teacher they revered was struck by lightning?
Isn’t the national teacher a good person?
Someone had this thought, but immediately suppressed it.
Someone even pointed at the helper's nose and cursed:
"Nonsense, how could the statue of the national teacher be struck by lightning?"
The helper was not convinced.
“I’m not talking nonsense. Everyone who ran out from the backyard just now saw it. If you don’t believe me, ask them.
If you still don't believe it, the thunder is still striking now, go to the backyard and see for yourself."
"What he said is true. There really was a statue of the Imperial Master struck by lightning."
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, he is not talking nonsense."
The helpers who ran out from the backyard confirmed their companion's words one by one.
The people in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment.
The man who just called the helper nonsense was a stubborn person who could not stand provocation. After hearing so many people speaking for the helper, he said in dissatisfaction:
"Seeing is believing, hearing is not. I don't believe what you say. I'll go and see for myself."
After saying that, he walked towards the backyard.
There was a brave and curious person in the hall who saw this and quietly followed the man.
Qin Wan, who was using his lightning power to strike the statue of the national teacher, used his mental power to take in everything that was happening in the hall.
What we want is for people who don't believe in evil to come and see it.
The more people who see it, the better.
Seeing that the statue of the Imperial Master was about to be struck by lightning, Qin Wan deliberately reduced the power of the lightning and only made the sound very loud.
She wanted to strike the emperor for a while longer so that more curious people could see the scene of the national teacher being struck by lightning.
The common people bravely approached the backyard.
One after another, they fell from the air, dazzling their eyes.
When they found that all the thunder fell only on the open space in front of the rockery and did not strike other places, those people became bolder.
Slowly approach the open space in front of the rockery.
Then they saw that, just as the helpers had said, the Imperial Master seemed to have been struck by lightning.
Really, I was struck by lightning!
Boom!
Even louder thunder exploded overhead.
After seeing the truth, the brave ones didn't dare to stay any longer and ran out of the backyard as fast as the wind.
The people in the front hall did not disperse, but were waiting for news.
Seeing several people running over in panic, someone immediately surrounded them and asked curiously:
"What's going on? What did you see? Was the statue of the national teacher struck by lightning?"
The first person to refute the helper swallowed his saliva:
"National Master, the National Master was really struck by lightning. The lightning did not strike people, but only the statue of the National Master. If you don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself."
Seeing that this stubborn guy said this, many curious people bravely approached the backyard.
Then, word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and more and more people flocked to the backyard to watch the fun.
