Ji Ruo had specifically asked the white cat if he needed to kowtow or something when paying his respects to her.

After all, in Ji Ruo’s memory, whether it was to worship the dead or to pray to the gods, one had to kowtow.

In most people’s 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 god’s 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.

It’s good that you don’t kowtow…

Hu Yonglin’s expression was strange. He was choked by Ji Ruo’s seemingly stiff way of changing the topic. That’s 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 didn’t expect was that after Ji Ruo mentioned the Eight Treasures Stronghold’s Earth Lord, some villagers actually showed thoughtful expressions.

One of the villagers suddenly said,” 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 worry…” I didn’t have time to dream for a long time before my wife woke me up. She put on some clothes and came over…”

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 didn’t know that the crops in the fields had been restored.

Another villager who was injured, but not very seriously, suddenly said, “Eh? Did you dream about it too? I thought I was the only one dreaming. The Earth Lord told me that I didn’t have to worry about my injuries. He could help me deal with them a little so that I wouldn’t have to feel so uncomfortable anymore…After I woke up, the injuries on my body really didn’t hurt much. I thought it was a psychological effect.”

“I dreamed about it too…l haven’t been to the Earth Temple for a long time. Does our village’s 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.” Meow!” she said.” That’s right. Why don’t you see whose sister she is?”)

Everyone chimed in, and soon the topic was completely diverted to ‘Earth Lord might really be very effective’ and ‘Why does Earth Lord have a cat head’.

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 Lord…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 didn’t seem to have had the chance to sleep just now!

Isn’t it feudal superstition to talk about mountains, gods, and land?

Hu Yonglin was at a loss.

“Jiruo, is there really a Lord Earth?”

Ji Ruo smiled mysteriously.” I can’t say for sure, Brother Hu. If you believe it, you can have it. If you don’t believe it, you can’t.’”‘

Hu Yonglin was deep in thought, but before he could continue asking, Ji Ruo had already turned around and called out to the villagers.

“Everyone, we’ll talk about worshipping the local god later. Let’s go back and pack our luggage first.”

“That’s right, now is not the time to talk about this. “The village chief nodded and waved at the villagers.”Everyone, disperse. Hurry up and go home to pack your things. We’ll leave in an hour at most. Don’t cause trouble for Xiao Hu and the others.”

Niu Li’s 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 Dabao’s coffin and said to Ji Ruo seriously, “Teacher Ji, I’ll go back with Mom to pack my luggage. Goodbye, Teacher!”

“Hmm, do you need help?” Ji Ruo asked with a smile.”

“No need, I’m a man! I can do it!”

“Alright, goodbye then.”

The villagers left one after another. When they left, they were still discussing the matter of the local god in low voices.

“Big Brother Hu, I’ll take my leave then.” Ji Ruo said.

” Yeah, okay…” Hu Yonglin was still confused when he suddenly heard Ji Ruo say,”Luo Qian, why didn’t you say goodbye to Brother Hu? How rude.”

Luo Qian squatted on Ji’s 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, “Fellow villager, our village’s local god really has a cat head?”
