Chapter 230: Changing Face
When Dunshan was still living on Earth, he had read many stories related to the construction of the Great Wall, and he clearly remembered that the history books described in detail how harsh the tyrannical rule of Qin Shi Huang was and how miserable the life of the poor people was during that time. There are countless slaves who died in the construction process, and the shadow of death has not dissipated from the time the first stone brick was planted when the foundation was laid, and the last stone brick was fixed at the head of the city, and how long it lasted could not be calculated without reading the history books.
To build the Great Wall on the King's Continent, of course, there will be no cold-blooded tyrants and scrawny slaves, only countless wooden little people with small buns and yellow clothes and pants will jump up and down, building the Great Wall like happy finches making nests in the mud. This is in line with the picture that Dunshan conceived, and it also makes him feel high every day.
Master Lu Ban appointed him as an overseer, he thought he would be very busy, but in fact he was too idle.
The wooden puppets never make mistakes in their work, the accuracy of the position of each brick, the accuracy of the amount of glue used to stick the wall, compared to the computer calculations, Dunshan, the overseer, no matter where he goes, there is no mistake to correct, but he has to worry about whether he is causing trouble for Luban No. 7.
However, his worries seemed to be unnecessary, and the level of love that the puppets liked him was not only unexpected, but even Master Luban was surprised. As soon as he approached a construction site that was in full swing, the little craftsmen would stop what they were doing and rush at him, and in an instant his huge steel body would turn yellow, and the dolls would jump up and down on his armor with joy as if they were celebrating a festival.
Seeing that these little guys work hard and are quite effective, Dunshan will give them a certain reward, and the prize is to tell a story, what to tell?
In the beginning, he would only talk about the once upon a time when there was a mountain, and there was a temple in the mountain, and there was an old monk in the temple who was telling a story.
……
The puppets listened carefully, and even if he repeated the cycle over and over again, his attitude was still so focused, it was like a girl staring at an idol who was fascinated. This scene also amused Master Lu Ban, and his hearty laughter came from a distance......
The dolls are simple and innocent, and Dunshan also loves them, so I was embarrassed to fool them a few times, and when I was alone, I wondered if I should tell some valuable and enlightening stories as a real reward for the puppet craftsmen.
He didn't read much, and when he was still on Origin Earth, he spent most of his time on water groups and playing games, and now when it came time to use knowledge, he only had to stare dumbly.
Thinking about it, he thought of the Black Mother again, and as soon as he had an idea, he compiled the story that happened on the Earth's Light Continent into a series of myths and told it to the puppets.
At this moment, the puppeteer was really in love with his story, and when he reappeared, the little things no longer rushed up to him, but lined up like a well-trained soldier, leaving a place for him to sit down, and when everything was ready, he obediently sat down in the phalanx opposite him, without making a little noise in the process, as if for fear of getting the storyteller away.
In order to live up to the expectations of the young audience, Dunshan even made up and spoke very hard, which promoted the enthusiasm of the audience to work, so courtesy, the construction speed of the Great Wall was amazingly fast, and one day Dunshan stood on a high place and looked down, and saw a winding dragon lying down the mountain, the shock in the heart was indescribable. The construction time of the Great Wall on the King Continent not only does not need to go through the change of several dynasties, but it does not even take twenty years!
By the time the Great Wall was nearing completion, the story of the origin of the shield mountain was nearing the end of the earth myth. He found another incredible thing, when he used to talk nonsense, Master Lu Ban only stood and laughed from a distance, but when storytelling became a serious thing to encourage the morale of the craftsmen, the master also joined the audience, and many times, all the listeners had dispersed, and began to move bricks and tiles again, but the master was still sitting in place, really quiet as a lifeless silhouette, and then Dunshan would be afraid, afraid that a gust of wind would blow on the towering city wall, so he would blow him away.
"Master Luban, do you like the stories I make up so much? Or are you thinking about something else? ”
Dunshan was tempted to go over and ask, but as was customary, he did not want to be disturbed by the master's contemplation, so he walked away with a sense of humor, until he gradually became depressed for unknown reasons, and sometimes even seemed to be slacking off. At this time, as an overseer, Dunshan really had something to do, but he couldn't bear to punish any of the puppets, and only thought that he should figure out the reason for their mood changes.
Hundreds of millions of dolls, grabbing just one can ask for answers, but they can neither speak nor write.
Dunshan was at a loss, and in the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to ask Master Luban hard.
The position of the gate of Jiayuguan is extremely high, and after standing behind the battlement, you can see most of the face of the Great Wall. The master probably still thought that the ground of Guancheng was not high enough, so he actually sat on the battlement.
That scene was really terrifying, Dunshan quietly walked to his side, loyally standing with his hands down, ready to reach out to the rescue as long as the shadow was in danger.
Master Lu Ban didn't seem to notice his arrival, and was quiet into a lifeless silhouette, and the two maintained their respective postures, and they were in a stalemate for a full hour, and then the master spoke first.
"Dunshan, you've finally come to me, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Huh? This...... Where does this begin? "Dunshan was confused, thinking that we should get along day and night, if you have something to say to me, there are so many opportunities, why wait for me to come to you?
The master said leisurely: "You are very brave, you can put aside all your worries in the face of the enemy and rush over to fight, but you are very timid to your own people, and you are always afraid of hurting the other party, so that you can't let go of your hands and feet." This is your Achilles' heel, and you can't change it. ”
"Oh...... The master's lesson is that Dunshan has been taught, and he must pay more attention to it in the future. Dunshan bowed deeply to show introspection.
The shadow nodded, and said: "The love for the person you care about is not only reflected in the softness, but sometimes it must also be reflected in the rigidity, otherwise I am afraid that you will not protect the person, but will harm him." ”
Lu Ban suddenly said such stern words, Dunshan was very confused, and he felt that the atmosphere among the puppet craftsmen had changed, and even the master's attitude towards him had changed.
Lu Ban asked straight to the point: "The story you told to Lu Ban No. 7 is not a myth, but your personal experience, right?" ”
"Huh?!"
Dunshan was stunned, thinking that he was hiding himself well, where did Master Lu Ban see it?
"Hehe~" The shadow jumped down from the battlement with a slight float, and the laughter was actually a little more gloomy, and Dunshan couldn't help but retreat back, which was a sense of alienation that had never been felt in the past.
"You must be wondering why I'm asking this. To tell you the truth, there is a thing in your story called the Energy Crystal, and I saw the Energy Crystal from you when I first rescued you from the Candle Dragon's mouth. ”
