Chapter 10 As a junior brother, I am so humble
Only when the gods are truly integrated into people's lives, people will not be attached to the form of worship, a prayer before a meal, a wish before going to bed, all of which show faith and reverence for the gods.
It is in the heart but not in the form.
It's really funny, he actually has such a belief, and he is really getting more and more curious about this rock god.
"Then why is there an idol on the earth? Could it be that it wasn't built by man? Jiang Bai continued to ask.
"Hey, you've guessed it!" Hu Tao's eyes were a little surprised, she didn't say anything! And she just deliberately sold Guanzi, but this kid seems to understand.
Really, there is no sense of accomplishment at all.
Hu Tao shook two long ponytails, walked in front of Jiang Bai with his hands behind his back, learned the tone he didn't know where he heard it, and said in an old-fashioned manner:
"The Statue of the Seven Heavens has appeared on the earth since the Demon God War, some say that it is the gods dividing the territory, some say that it is the protection of the land by the gods, and some say that it is the mark of the leylines..... In short, idols have existed a long, long time ago. ”
Daedric Wars? Leylines?
Jiang Bai heard a few more new words, and just wanted to continue to ask, but Hu Tao obviously knew that he was going to ask these questions, turned around, crossed his hands in front of him, and formed a big ×:
"Don't ask, you have too many questions, and the hall master is not your guide, it is already for the sake of me that you are my little brother to answer you so much, and if you want to know, you can explore it yourself!"
"Okay......" Jiang Bai sighed sadly, losing his spirit.
His curiosity was aroused, but the questions were piled up more and more, and his heart was like scratching his liver, but Hu Tao didn't answer him, and he didn't hesitate.
As a little brother, he is so humble......
"Mondstadt, Sumeru, and Fontaine are all countries bordering Liyue, Mondstadt believes in the god of wind, Sumeru believes in the god of grass, Fontaine believes in the god of water, and in addition to these, there are Nata who believes in the god of fire, Inazuma who believes in the god of thunder, and Solstice who believes in the god of ice."
Jiang Bai listened carefully and wrote down the basic information.
He was tempted to ask what power the other gods wield, but he was already a few positions behind, and if he didn't chase him, he wouldn't be able to catch up with Hu Tao.
Hu Tao walked into a grocery store with Jiang Bai. When he went in, he was empty-handed, and when he came out, Jiang Bai was full of things.
There are hoes, brooms, rags, brushes, large scissors, and some dry food that is easy to carry and filling.
"Are we going to clean up somewhere?" Jiang Bai carried a lot of things and looked puzzled.
"I'll take you to see the Statue of the Seven Heavens!"
Hu Tao beckoned Jiang Bai, who was carrying a lot of things, and strode forward, "There is one on the mountain on the outskirts of Lisha, and there are all abandoned ruins over there, except for the treasure thieves and adventurers, few people have passed, so it's just nothing, go and clean up the statue." ”
"How long has it been?"
Jiang Bai estimated that the time would not be short, otherwise Hu Tao would not even have their lunch ready.
"I should be able to get back before dark!"
It's just outside of Liyue Harbor, but walking on two legs can be quite time-consuming.
"Okay......" Jiang Bai appointed to act as a coolie, carrying a large pile of small things out of the city.
The roads in Liyue Harbor are smooth and wide, and although the roads outside the city are not paved with bluestone slabs, the soil is also compacted, the road surface is smooth, and there are few traces of cars and horses getting trapped, and it is obvious that there are people who maintain them regularly.
Although Jiang Bai was carrying a bunch of things, he didn't have a hard time.
It's Hu Tao, who seems to be inexhaustible, humming a minor tune he made up and jumping on the ground. also disappeared from time to time, and then popped out when Jiang Bai was confused, startling him.
The first time Jiang Bai would stop and stand in place and call her, Jiang Bai would not be surprised if he had many times.
The sun gradually rose to the center, Jiang Bai put down the hoe on his shoulder, found a big stone to sit and rest, "I said hall master, where did you run again." ”
"I found a super sweet flower that grows!" Hu Tao suddenly appeared, and mysteriously pulled out a flower from behind his back.
Jiang Bai tilted his head.
Is this flower called Tiantian Flower, it feels quite common, and I saw a lot of it along the way.
"Is there any mystery to this sweet flower?" Judging by the name, isn't it sweet?
"You don't know this, the sugar we usually eat is made of this, and the sweet flowers are very sweet whether they are nectar or petals."
Hu Tao picked a petal and put it in his mouth, and handed the rest to Jiang Bai, "You try it, it's delicious!" ”
Jiang Bai brought the flower close to the tip of his nose, and there was a sweet smell from the flower, Jiang Bai picked a petal and put it in her mouth in her way, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
The honey-like sweetness blooms on the tip of the tongue, but the sweetness is not greasy or at all, it is very fresh, mixed with the fragrance of plants.
But it's not just the sweetness, the astringency in the petal veins doesn't leave the tip of the tongue with nothing but sweetness, which is amazing.
"How's that!" Hu Tao sat on a large stone in the shade of the tree, shaking his calves with a smug expression.
A small white ghost came out of her body, tilting her head, as if looking at Jiang Bai curiously.
"It's delicious!"
Jiang Bai rarely likes anything, but this sweet sweet flower pierced his heart at the moment of his entrance.
Hu Tao grabbed the little ghost's little tail and held his cheek with one hand to watch him eat.
Jiang Bai's demeanor at this time was particularly like a cat that had caught a yarn, his whole body exuded joy, and his eyebrows and eyes softened.
"You seem to like sweets."
"I don't know, but I do like sweetness."
It's like if you eat something sweet, you can forget a lot of unhappy things.
But now it's different, he's forgotten it all! Happier now!
Jiang Bai directly used this sweet flower as a sweetness generator, and after a while, the petals were cleaned by him, and the rhizome calyx was not spared, just like chewing sugar cane.
He decided that he would build a small yard in the future and specialize in planting sweet flowers!
It wasn't until he had eaten it all that he looked at the little ghost who was grabbed by Hu Tao, "Hall Master, what are you?" ”
He noticed it just now, but he was too busy eating to have any extra energy to be curious.
"Well...... huh" Hu Tao smiled grimly, and the expression of the little ghost in his hand became terrifying.
"It's a bad thing!" With Hu Tao's words, the little ghost passed through Jiang Bai's chest and circled around his ear to make a hideous expression.
However, because his appearance was too cute, Jiang Bai was not frightened at all.
Jiang Bai touched his penetrated chest, and did not feel the slightest. Not even a cold feeling.
It's as if this little ghost is a creature from another dimension and can't overlap with him.
Jiang Bai tried to reach out and touch it, but sure enough, he didn't touch anything.
Seeing that Jiang Bai was not frightened at all, but wanted to touch it, Xiao You, who was frightened and failed, retracted into the ring in Hu Tao's hand in frustration.
