Ji Ruo had specifically asked the white cat if he needed to kowtow or something when paying his respects to her. ππ§πππππ«ππΈπΏππ.π¬πΈπΆ
After all, in Ji Ruoβs memory, whether it was to worship the dead or to pray to the gods, one had to kowtow.
In most peopleβs minds, offering incense and kowtowing referred to the same thing.
However, the white cat said that there was no need. After fusing with the local godβs position, she understood many things. Naturally, she knew that when believers offered incense and prayed, humans would kowtow.
However, that was because some people thought that kowtowing when offering incense would make them appear more sincere.
There was a saying that sincerity would lead to spirituality. Since he had offered incense and prayed, he naturally hoped that his wish would be fulfilled by the gods.
As time passed, offering incense and kowtowing gradually became equal.
However, in fact, there was no particularly necessary connection between the behavior of these two species. Those who kowtowed might not be more pious than those who did not kowtow, but those who kowtowed, at least when they kowtowed, had a stronger belief in their hearts.
Therefore, kowtowing was actually only a supplementary function of worship. It did not matter whether he kowtowed or not. The so-called worship was essentially based on the basic rule of believing or not believing.
Ji Ruo heaved a sigh of relief.
Itβs good that you donβt kowtowβ¦
Hu Yonglinβs expression was strange. He was choked by Ji Ruoβs seemingly stiff way of changing the topic. Thatβs right, Hu Yonglin thought that Ji Ruo was changing the topic.
Indeed, now was not the time to talk about family matters. The orders from above were urgent. All the villagers of the Eight Treasures Stronghold had to evacuate before eight in the morning. They could not waste time on such meaningless things.
However, what he didnβt expect was that after Ji Ruo mentioned the Eight Treasures Strongholdβs Earth Lord, some villagers actually showed thoughtful expressions.
One of the villagers suddenly said,β When I was sleeping just now, I did seem to have a dream of the Earth Lord. In the dream, the Earth Lord seemed to have summoned us for a village meeting. He told us that the destroyed crops had been restored by him and that we did not have to worryβ¦β I didnβt have time to dream for a long time before my wife woke me up. She put on some clothes and came overβ¦β
Hu Yonglin was a little surprised. What a coincidence?
When they had gone out to support, they had met Ji Ruo and Liang Shixian before they reached the farmland, so they didnβt know that the crops in the fields had been restored.
Another villager who was injured, but not very seriously, suddenly said, βEh? Did you dream about it too? I thought I was the only one dreaming. The Earth Lord told me that I didnβt have to worry about my injuries. He could help me deal with them a little so that I wouldnβt have to feel so uncomfortable anymoreβ¦After I woke up, the injuries on my body really didnβt hurt much. I thought it was a psychological effect.β
βI dreamed about it tooβ¦l havenβt been to the Earth Temple for a long time. Does our villageβs Earth Lord have a cat head? Mimic, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look
Luo Qian nodded seriously.β Meow!β she said.β Thatβs right. Why donβt you see whose sister she is?β)
Everyone chimed in, and soon the topic was completely diverted to βEarth Lord might really be very effectiveβ and βWhy does Earth Lord have a cat headβ.
Hu Yonglin was a little confused.
He subconsciously glanced at Ji Ruo. It might be a coincidence if one or two people dreamed of the Earth Lord, but so many people dreamed of it, and it seemed that they really had the help of the Earth Lordβ¦Could it be that the
Earth Lord really existed?!
However, Ji Ruo was not a native of the Eight Treasures Stronghold. How did he know about this? Moreover, Ji Ruo didnβt seem to have had the chance to sleep just now!
Isnβt it feudal superstition to talk about mountains, gods, and land?
Hu Yonglin was at a loss.
βJiruo, is there really a Lord Earth?β
Ji Ruo smiled mysteriously.β I canβt say for sure, Brother Hu. If you believe it, you can have it. If you donβt believe it, you canβt.βββ
Hu Yonglin was deep in thought, but before he could continue asking, Ji Ruo had already turned around and called out to the villagers.
βEveryone, weβll talk about worshipping the local god later. Letβs go back and pack our luggage first.β
βThatβs right, now is not the time to talk about this. βThe village chief nodded and waved at the villagers.βEveryone, disperse. Hurry up and go home to pack your things. Weβll leave in an hour at most. Donβt cause trouble for Xiao Hu and the others.β
Niu Liβs mother had already woken up and reluctantly accepted the truth. She pulled Niu Li and thanked Ji Ruo.
Niu Li gripped the slingshot that Ji Ruo had given him tightly. He felt a strange sense of familiarity. Finally, he looked at Niu Dabaoβs coffin and said to Ji Ruo seriously, βTeacher Ji, Iβll go back with Mom to pack my luggage. Goodbye, Teacher!β
βHmm, do you need help?β Ji Ruo asked with a smile.β
βNo need, Iβm a man! I can do it!β
βAlright, goodbye then.β
The villagers left one after another. When they left, they were still discussing the matter of the local god in low voices.
βBig Brother Hu, Iβll take my leave then.β Ji Ruo said.
β Yeah, okayβ¦β Hu Yonglin was still confused when he suddenly heard Ji Ruo say,βLuo Qian, why didnβt you say goodbye to Brother Hu? How rude.β
Luo Qian squatted on Jiβs shoulder and meowed, then turned her head and waved her claws at Hu Yonglin. She even stuck out her tongue and made a face.
Hu Yonglin was stunned.
As if he suddenly realized something, he went forward and pulled a villager who was about to leave.. He asked, βFellow villager, our villageβs local god really has a cat head?β
