Yuanshin: Before I was buried by Walnut, I opened the coffin and got up

"It's not necessarily true. I heard that the fools of the Winter Kingdom can use elemental power without the eyes of God..."

"Last Winter Kingdom?"

"People in Zhidong Kingdom believe in the goddess of ice, and the Beiguo Bank in Liyue Port was opened by Zhidong Kingdom..."

"Isn't it true that there are very few people who can use elemental power?"

"Yeah, so people with the eyes of God are special."

"That's it..." Jiang Bai was thoughtful.

He didn't want to have it, but he was very curious about how the God's Eye is connected with people, so that people can use the elemental power. If he knows this, then he can manipulate the elemental power without the God's Eye.

That organization called Fools may even use this method.

Turning a corner, the vision suddenly opened up. Hu Tao pointed to the top of the big mountain in front of him and said, "Do you see the blue light on the top of the mountain in front? That is the statue of the Seven Heavens."

"Is that the statue?" Jiang Bai looked at the top of the mountain from a distance, and he could see a tall statue, exuding a blue halo, which was like a sharp sword, straight into the sky, even in the daytime, the light was clear visible.

"Climb up that mountain, and we'll be there soon!" She waved her little hand, and walked forward immediately, the little ghost came out of her body, and made a face at Jiang Bai behind.

Jiang Bai didn't believe that such a cute thing would be a errand, he guessed what kind of guardian spirit it should be.

Seeing that the other party was making faces at him, he pulled down his eyelids with one hand, made a face and returned back.

The little ghost was provoked by his behavior, and his body became bigger, and he made a gesture of baring his teeth and claws while whining.

Jiang Bai responded with a grimace again.

Seeing that Jiang Bai couldn't be scared, the little ghost was so angry that he wanted to jump towards Jiang Bai like a leaking balloon, but he was grabbed by a walnut, so he couldn't touch Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai even made up the sound of ah ah ah he was so angry.

He laughed unscrupulously, and was so angry that the little ghost shrank into Walnut's body and could not come out again.

The temperament of this guardian spirit really follows Hall Master Hu, and he likes to scare people, but it's a pity that he is too cute, no one will be scared, right?

"Just climbed over that mountain~"

"Crossed that river again~"

Hu Tao hummed, and the two soon reached the foot of the mountain.

There are steps built on the mountain road, but even so, it is still very steep.

Climbing hard all the way to the top of the mountain, Jiang Bai finally saw the tall statue clearly.

The statue is not very big, but it is not small either. The cylindrical base separates the carved figures above from the ground. It is carved with exquisite patterns and inlaid with gemstones that emit a faint blue light.

Above the base is a stone statue wearing a hood and reclining on a stone chair carved with ancient runes. The statue rests one foot on the chair casually, holding a cube emitting a faint blue light in its hand.There is no specific face carved on it, but just looking at the posture, you can feel how powerful and calm this god is.

Jiang Bai raised his head and stared at the statue.

How should I put it, it is very different from what he imagined, not as majestic as he imagined, even the stone pillars of the statue have been worn down a lot due to too long time, and some weeds have grown beside the stone chair.

Hu Tao walked forward, stood still in front of the statue, closed his eyes and clasped his hands together, "May you, the emperor, be healthy and happy every day."

She didn't wish in her heart, but said it out.

After doing all this, she looked at Jiang Bai and beckoned him to come over.

"This is the statue of Lord Yan. If you have any wish, you can come and make a wish."

Jiang Bai put down the things he brought, curious in his heart, "Could Lord Yan make my wish come true?"

"Of course not, what do you think!" Hu Tao said speechlessly and knocked on the back of his head, "Of course, things like wishes have to be realized by yourself, and all you need to make a wish is a beautiful wish!"

It didn't hurt very much to hit the back of the head, Jiang Bai rubbed it lightly, and asked with dead fish eyes: "Then why don't you make a wish?"

"I don't have any wishes, just wish Dijun and his old man happy every day!" Hu Tao spread his hands, saying it as a matter of course.

"I heard that the emperor can hear the words spoken in front of the statue, so..." She blinked quietly as she spoke.

So she said something nice to make the old man happy.

Jiang Bai: "..."

Does the old man Yanwang Dijun still need you to coax him?

And it's just heard, has anyone confirmed it?If Emperor Yan Wang could hear every prayer, wouldn't his ears be callused?

But believe it or not, what if?It would be nice if I could brush my face in front of the gods.

He clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and said sincerely, "I wish you good health and happiness every day."

After speaking, he bent down and bowed down.

Someone who was drinking tea and listening to an opera in Liyue Port seemed to have a feeling, and a faint smile rose from the corner of his mouth.I don't know if it's because their actions are interesting, or because they are simply in a good mood.

Still young and energetic...

Thinking about it, he drank the tea in the teacup in one gulp.

"Our task today is to clean up here!" Hu Tao picked up the broom with a look of enthusiasm!

Jiang Bai had such an expression, he knew that he didn't come out to play with so many things.

But it's all here, and it can't be justified if you don't clean it.

Resignedly, he picked up the hoe and started weeding.

The statues of Emperor Yanwang are scattered all over Liyue, and many of them are even in places that are inaccessible to ordinary people. Except for a few statues that are extremely difficult to reach, the rest of the statues will be cleaned by Liyue.

But weeds grow fast, and even the idols will inevitably wear out after being exposed to wind and sun.

Walnut cleaned up the fallen leaves around the statue, climbed onto the statue with a rag and wiped it carefully, and muttered while wiping:

"Old man, don't feel itchy, I'm rubbing the idol for you, if you feel itchy, just hold back, I'll be there soon..."

Chapter 14 I hope Dijun doesn't feel hot eyes

Jiang Bai was sticking his hoe, watching the walnuts rubbing and muttering silently.

Normally speaking, the gods should not share the feelings of the gods, otherwise, if disrespectful people come to the gods to insult the gods, how disgusting the gods will be.And it's sunny and windy....

With a hoe, he dug out some overgrown weeds, and trimmed some small bushes with scissors.

When Walnut finished rubbing the idol, he was shocked to find that the surrounding bushes had all changed.

Triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons... and all kinds of weird shapes that she didn't bother to count.

Even she, who had so many wonderful ideas, was rarely speechless for a while, and the little ghost came out of her body, showing a gesture of covering her eyes.

In the future, the plants in the Pastoral Hall must not be pruned by this guy!She doesn't want to see a mess of plants!

"I hope Dijun doesn't feel hot eyes..." She prayed in a low voice in her heart.

Walnut burned the fallen leaves with a fire, and struggled to control himself not to burn the pungent bushes.

Jiang Bai watched the flames spread with a hoe, and felt that someone was watching them from a distance, but when he looked back, he saw nothing.

Yasha, the Dharma protector in blue and holding a spear, looked at the messy bushes from a distance, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

After killing the monsters, he passed by here, and he stopped to watch for a while when he noticed that there was movement on the side of the statue.

Originally, I was very satisfied with Liyue people coming to clean the statue, but in the end...

He shouldn't have stopped just now...

But that human being is very keen, and can actually detect his gaze.

Mandrill's eyes stayed on Jiang Bai for a while, and then disappeared.

Hu Tao didn't know that a yaksha was watching here just now. She looked at the sky, spread a piece of cloth on the steps in front of the statue, took out a small incense burner from nowhere, inserted three sticks of incense sticks, and put the meat she brought The bread was set before the censer.

"Dijun, we brought some food over, you eat first."

After praying three times, she picked up the meatloaf and gave Jiang Bai one.

"Why didn't you offer incense before you came?" Jiang Bai held the pancake and couldn't understand her operation.

"It was a mess here before, and it must be repaired."

Hu Tao sat on the stone steps in front of the statue, ate a mouthful of pancakes, and continued to explain, "Before I came, I told Lord Yan that we were here, but we can't eat alone, so I offer it to Lord Yan to show respect. As for Shangxiang, who asked me to carry the incense burner with me?"

Dijun attaches great importance to tradition, but there are no rules for believers to pray to him.

He will not fulfill a certain wish for a certain person alone.

Jiang Bai: "..."

You talk a lot and you are reasonable.

"When I was weeding just now, I saw some abandoned buildings over there..." Jiang Bai gnawed on the pancake, and told Hu Tao what he had just seen.

"Those were left a long time ago, too long ago, and they have all become relics."

Suddenly remembered something, Hu Tao added: "Don't go into the ruins if you have nothing to do. Let's not talk about whether there is anything in the ruins after so many years. Differentially attack all those who approach, and those who do not have the eyes of God are very dangerous..."

"Treasure Stealing Group? Ruins Guard?" Jiang Bai heard two new terms.

"The Treasure Bandit is a group of thieves who aim at treasures. They are very loose and often appear in various ruins and deep mountains and old forests... No one knows where the ruins guards came from, and they suddenly appeared one day It's in the ruins."

"Didn't it exist from the beginning?" Jiang Bai felt very strange. Hearing the name, he thought it was a creature that existed together with the ruins, but he never thought that the guards of the ruins did not exist in the ruins at first.

The origin of this thing is very intriguing.

Seeing through his thoughts, Hu Tao warned: "Curiosity is fine, but the premise is that you have the ability to explore the secret. Don't become a monster's meal if you don't get the answer in the end."

"There may not be treasures in the ruins, but dangerous monsters abound."

"I see."

Jiang Bai is just curious, but he is not going to explore the secrets now.

If you have a chance in the future, you can visit the ruins.

After lunch, Hu Tao took out two contracts, one-finger writing brush and a piece of ink pad from his arms like a magic trick.

She handed the two things to Jiang Bai together, "Under the witness of the emperor, after signing this contract, you are our official disciple of the Hall of Rebirth!"

The corner of Jiang Bai's mouth twitched, you have told me so much about your feelings, I am not yet a formal disciple...

When Jiang Bai carefully read the content of the contract, Hu Tao explained: "The Emperor attaches great importance to the contract, so you naturally need to be bound by the contract when you join the Xiangshengtang, or you will leave directly one day, or we will drive you out from the Xiangshengtang. Neither of us is guaranteed.

This is both a contract and a labor contract.If you ever want to leave the Hall of Rebirth, you can dissolve the contract peacefully after discussing it..."

On the scroll, it is indeed a normal labor contract as Hutao said.It also gives the way to leave and terminate the contract in the future.

It's not just that, it also writes about the old-age system of the Xiangshengtang after 30 years of service in the Xiangshengtang.

Not to mention, this contract is quite humane.

But in this way, the economic pressure on the Pastoral Hall will be quite high. No wonder Hu Tao always wants to expand the business.

"Hall master, what will happen if the contract is violated?" Jiang Bai is still very curious about this.

"The emperor is above, the contract is fulfilled, and those who break their promises will be punished by eating rocks!" Hu Tao stood under the statue, and the statue behind him exuded a divine light, showing the weight of these words.

Not to mention, it's kind of bluffing to look at.

Jiang Bai didn't intend to try what the rock-eating punishment was, and it wasn't interesting to think about it.

After confirming that there was no problem, he signed his name and pressed his thumbprint.

In the dark, Jiang Bai felt that he had a wonderful connection with this world. This connection spread from him to the contract, and from the contract to Hu Tao, to the past life far away in Liyue Port in the hall.

'Is this the power of the contract...'

As long as you sign it, you can feel the existence of the contract. It's not just an ordinary piece of paper, but something you can really feel.

There are so many people in Liyue, how many contracts are born every moment, and every contract is notarized by the gods, how powerful is that god of contracts......

"Two copies, one copy for yourself."

Hu Tao put Jiang Bai's signature in his pocket, and let Jiang Bai keep the other one.

Then she took out another scroll from her bosom, faced the statue, and laid it flat on the ground.

Chapter 15 There is still a sense of ritual

The scroll looked like it had been around for some time, the paper was yellowed, and some old ink stains on it were a little faded.

Jiang Bai can see clearly, there are names written on it, from ancient times to the present, densely packed.
