Hutao uses me to judge my performance

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

"The Treasure Thief Group 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. Suddenly one day they appeared 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 ready to explore the secret now.

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

After lunch, Hu Tao took out two contracts, a writing brush and an 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. He said so much to me, but I'm not even a formal disciple yet.

When Jiang Bai looked at the contents of the contract carefully, Hu Tao explained:

"The emperor values ​​contracts, so naturally you need to be bound by a contract when you join the Rebirth Hall. Otherwise, you will leave directly one day, or we will kick you out of the Rebirth Hall, which will not protect both of us.

"This is both a contract and a labor contract. If you want to leave the Rebirth Hall one day, you can peacefully terminate the contract after discussion."

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.

"Your Majesty, the contract is fulfilled. Anyone who breaks his promise shall be punished by eating rocks!"

Hutao stood under the statue, and the statue behind him exuded a shining light, indicating 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 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, and countless contracts are made every moment. Each contract is notarized by the gods. How powerful must the God of Contracts be?

"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.

Jiang Bai has reason to suspect that Hu Tao brought him the Seven Heavens God Statue not on a whim, but premeditated!

Otherwise, how could it be possible to prepare so many things?

Hu Tao didn't care what he thought, took out three sticks of high incense, lit them and inserted them into the incense burner, bowing and chanting:

"The No. 70 seventh-generation hall master Hu Tao is here. Please witness the emperor and ancestors. Jiang Bai has become my disciple of the past life hall today. Since then, we have shared weal and woe."

Looking at Hu Tao's solemn expression, Jiang Bai's expression also became solemn.

He stared at the names above, and each of those names represented a person, that is the ancestors of all Xiangshengtang.

There was no complicated ostentation, no countless gazes to witness, even though she and Hu Tao were the only ones here, facing a statue of a god and the names of many ancestors.

Jiang Bai, who was originally just following the trend of joining the Holy Life Hall, could not help but become more serious at this moment, and truly regarded himself as a member of the Holy Life Hall.

Hu Tao's clear voice rang in his ears, and she said: "Read it to me."

"Send the dead to life, do the work of the living, eliminate evil spirits, and bring peace to the world."

This is the dogma of the Changsheng Church, and it is also the motto they abide by.

"Send the dead to life, do the work of the living, eliminate evil spirits, and bring peace to the world."

Two voices sounded back and forth echoed between the mountains and forests, the voices were sonorous and powerful, and they were resounding.

Jiang Bai didn't know what his previous behavior style was like, but since he became a member of the Pastoral Church, he was willing to abide by this dogma.

After finishing all this, Hu Tao picked up a pen and solemnly added Jiang Bai's name at the end.

After finishing all the rituals, she took a long breath and relaxed.

Jiang Bai also broke away from that solemn state and said with emotion: "I thought that if you took me back to the Hall of Rebirth, Master, you would have already joined the Hall of Rebirth."

Walnut put away things one by one, "That's what I said, but there is still a sense of ritual, otherwise it's too casual, and there is no sense of belonging and identity."

"Then the hall master is not afraid that I am a bad person with ulterior motives?"

"The fact that you said those words yesterday means that you are not a bad person. Even if you are not a good person, you are still a person with principles. Besides, your memory is gone, which is equivalent to a blank. You still have to see whether it is good or evil. The person who drew it with a pen."

"And I am the master of this hall." Hutao patted his chest and said proudly, "I am very confident in my vision!"

Jiang Bai smiled, a sincere smile.

He didn't know if he had any principles, whether he was good or evil.

But as Walnut said, what kind of person he is depends on what kind of person he wants to be.

He looked up at the sky, and the warm sun shone on his body, making him feel warm all over.

It feels so good to be trusted by others.

"Let's go down the mountain!" Hu Tao jumped up, the exhaustion from the morning's journey seemed to have completely disappeared, and her whole life was alive and well.

Jiang Bai reluctantly picked up the basket and followed her down the mountain.

The setting sun dyed the sky with golden clouds, and the two returned to Liyue Port by the afterglow of the setting sun.

It was dinner time, and the smell of food wafted from the kitchens of every household, making people greedy.

The sound of gurgling came from their stomachs at the same time, and they immediately decided to quicken their pace and go back to eat.

Back at the Hall of Rebirth, the hostesses greeted with a smile, "Where did the hall master go?"

"I came up with a wonderful idea. After the meal, I called a meeting with the hostess, let's discuss it!"

After leaving these words, Hu Taofeng disappeared, and the apprentice guard stood there blankly.

What did the hall master think of again?Isn’t it another buy-one-get-one-free thing, with the second monument half price?This is too ridiculous.

Although worried, the ceremonial servant still greeted Jiang Bai and went to inform other ceremonial servants.

Jiang Bai searched for the aroma of the food, and went straight to the restaurant. The walnuts were already feasting, and Jiang Bai joined the battle without hesitation.

It's strange to say that he didn't eat much yesterday, and he wasn't very hungry. How could he be so hungry when he smelled the food?

There are not many people in Xiangsheng Hall, but apart from Ke Qing, there are only about twenty people in total.

Every meal is the busiest time, and they chatted about the latest interesting things while eating, having a good time.

An uncle surnamed Ge is in charge of the meals in the Xiangsheng Hall, and he prepares three meals a day.

His hair is already grey, but he is still full of energy. He is now wearing a fringe, and he is smiling as he watches the disciples of the Xiangsheng Hall gather around for a meal.

When he was young, he was also the hostess of the Hall of Rebirth. He grew up watching Hu Tao, the little hall master, but he never got married. When he was old, he couldn't do other things. In addition, he was good at cooking, so he specially gave it to young people. Cook and eat.

For him, Xiangshengtang is his home.

Seeing the young children of Xiangshengtang now, I feel a sense of relief that my little tree is gradually growing.

Looking at Jiang Bai's new face, he looked kind and said, "Xiao Jiang, you have just joined our Rebirth Hall, and I don't know your taste. I don't know whether you are used to eating food or not. Tell me if you have any taboos."

"Uncle Ge's food is really excellent, I have never eaten such delicious food!"

Yesterday, Jiang Bai had already met all the Yi Guan, and he also knew about Uncle Ge.

When he heard Uncle Ge say this, his rainbow fart jumped out as if it was free of charge. As he spoke, he frantically shoveled rice into his mouth, trying to prove that what he said was true.

This rainbow fart is indeed very suitable. Uncle Ge gently stroked his back and motioned for him to eat slowly, "As long as you like it. You are a poor kid too. If you want to eat anything, tell Uncle Ge and Uncle Ge will make it for you." .”

Jiang Bai looked touched and reached out to wipe the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes, "Uncle Ge, you are so kind."

He wasn't that moved, but that didn't stop him from making exaggerated gestures to make the old man happy.

But to be honest, Xiangshengtang really made him feel very comfortable.

There is no restriction, and there is no need to clock in from [-] to [-] like going to work.

As for the big plan of "The Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots" mentioned by the hall leader... emmmmm, let's talk about it then!

"Hehe..." Uncle Ge smiled even more happily, "If the hall master bullies you, tell me, and I will teach her a lesson for you..."

"Uncle Ge, look at what you said, as the head of the hall, how could I do such a thing!"

"That's not necessarily the case..."

The restaurant was full of laughter.

After eating and drinking enough, Hu Tao touched her round belly, which was full from eating, and stretched.

She looked around, then hopped on the stool so everyone could see her.

"Ahem, everyone gather in the lobby after eating, I have a big plan to announce!"

Chapter 16

After thinking about it last night and today, she has sorted out the difficulties and improved the process. After discussing the rest, we can decide on the charter.

Then you can go for a test run.

Hearing that Hu Tao had a big plan, the restaurant suddenly became noisy, and various whispering voices sounded.

"What idea did the hall master think of?"

"Could it be another idea that sounds unreliable?"

"I think it's possible."

"Although the hall master is usually a little mischievous and likes to be a hands-off shopkeeper, he still does a good job in business. There is no need to be so suspicious."

"That's true..."

"In my opinion, let's call Mr. Zhongli, lest the hall master say anything shocking to the world!"

"Yes, I support it."

"I'll call you right away"

Hearing the various whispers below, Hu Tao didn't care.

After a while they'll see how brilliant her idea is!

Not only can it start the reputation of the Hall of Death, but it may become a major income of the Hall of Death in the future, becoming the second largest business after the funeral business.

However, this business requires a lot of personnel. Jiang Bai is currently suitable. Others still need a lot of training, especially in combat.

After all, those adventurers like to go to dangerous places, and they can't do without some strength.

Even Jiang Bai couldn't get on the job in a short time, and needed a lot of training.

After dinner, everyone gathered in the hall one after another.Even Zhongli, who was out for a walk, was called over, ready to hear what Hu Tao had to shock the world.

When everyone arrived, Hu Tao stood on the top stage. Using the height of the steps, he could see everyone's faces.

Because the body has not yet grown, her height also has some limitations.Facing the many young and strong people in the Hall of Rebirth, she had to raise her head to see their eyes when speaking.
