Main text Chapter 9 The Way of Life
With just one word, Qiu Yan recognized the speaker's gender and couldn't help but be surprised.
In the world he lived in in his previous life, the concept of equality between men and women was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. But when he came to this world, after absorbing Qiu Yan's memories, he had a certain understanding of the world and knew that the world was still at a stage where men and women had different statuses, so will be surprised.
However, after thinking about it for a moment, he felt relieved.
"No need to say more about the ordinary world. What appears in front of me now is a god after all. It must be different and it is normal."
Thinking of this, Qiu Yan calmed down.
Click!
The person at the table made a slight movement, and the armor on his body made a metallic collision sound. This armor covered the entire body of the person in front of him, and no trace of it was leaked out.
"However, let's not talk about the gender of this city god. This costume alone is surprising enough..."
Uh-huh!
Just as the thoughts in Qiu Yan's mind fell, a sound broke through the air, and the city god raised his hand and flicked it, and the book in his hand flew towards Qiu Yan.
In just a flash, the book was in front of Qiu Yan. He immediately took two steps back in reflex, his face showing caution, but the book was floating in the air.
At this moment, the City God spoke, his voice still full.
"I have kept you waiting for so long, and this book is an apology."
As he spoke, Qiu Yan's eyes fell on the cover of the book. Suddenly, four words came into view -
"The Way of Life".
Strange fluctuations continued to emanate from the book.
"What is this?" Qiu Yan was startled and looked back at Cheng Huang.
Not long ago, Qiu Yan had just sorted out his thoughts and decided to find a practice method for the scholar's clone. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the needed method appeared in front of him and became "apology".
However, Qiu Yan's first reaction was not joy. Instead, he felt that the connection between himself and his clone had been seen through by the female city god in front of him.
Unexpectedly, the city god raised his head slightly, and his voice came out from under the mask: "I know that you are somehow involved with the scholar named Qiu Yan, but after all, he is only a mortal, and you are a born god. Long-term contact with him is very important to him. A misfortune is not a blessing. If you give him this book, even if you repay the karma, it depends on him whether he can practice it. "
"Huh?" Qiu Yan was surprised when he heard this.
Yuanning City God said again: "There is no need to doubt that you are a born god. Of course I will not let you go. I will not play with those empty tricks. If you are willing to join my staff and subordinates, I will naturally not treat you badly. This booklet It’s nothing.”
After hearing this, Qiu Yan gradually regained his composure and asked a question: "I would like to ask the City God to explain clearly what is so unusual about this born god."
"I knew you would ask that." Yuanning City God nodded, "If you want to become a god, you must have a title and have thoughts. Whether it is the thoughts of the people, the thoughts of monsters, or the thoughts of nature and heaven and earth, they are indispensable for us gods. ”
"But among the gods, gods that are created out of nothing like you are the rarest, because even if you are respected by all people during your lifetime, you can rely on the people to become a god after your death, or you can understand some of the mysteries of heaven and earth and be canonized as a god after your death. Due to the limitations of the original three souls and the involvement of cause and effect, it is difficult to make decisions on your own. Only a natural god like you, who was born out of thin air, can get rid of these. If you are not canonized, you can..."
"Change your legal position and improve your divine status and character on your own!"
Qiu Yan frowned slightly and captured some information from the other party's words, but his understanding of Shinto matters was limited, so he could not accurately grasp the key points. However, he still had a slight understanding of the character of the god.
The character of a god, just like the rank of secular officials, is an important criterion for judging gods. For example, Huang Jue, the land in the south of the city, is a sixth-grade god, while Qiu Yan himself is a seventh-grade god.
Different levels of gods have different mastery and control of divine power.
However, because he had been trapped in one place for decades, not having much incense to offer, and not even being able to gather a few stars of divine power, Qiu Yan did not understand the method of improving the character of a god.
"Anything related to Shinto, as long as you join my command, I will tell you in detail. As for the incense, there is no need to worry about it." After saying that, the city god stood up. His slender body wrapped in armor was not very tall. "Of course, I won't force you. You might as well go back and think about it."
Having said this, she paused and then said: "The few new demons that entered the city are related to the scholar. I have sent people to warn you. This is not just to win over you. These demons have devoured the people in the city. Since the people have worshiped and worshiped me, I should repay them."
"The demon that entered the city is indeed related to me!"
Qiu Yan was not surprised when he heard this, but the other party's words did not make any cover up about Qiu Yan's wooing and went straight to the point, which made him a little surprised and made him doubtful.
"Why are there some discrepancies between the statements of this city god and that of the land in the south of the city, and their attitudes towards the people are completely different? However, the information revealed in her words shows that there is no connection between the original deity and the clone, and they are completely regarded as two people. look."
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the city god in armor raise his hand and make two false grabs.
Whoosh!
The air flow swirled, gathering the few wisps of smoke scattered in the air, lingering around the city god's hand, and gradually gathered into a mist the size of a finger. With a flick of her finger, the mist shot out and landed in front of Qiu Yan.
"This calming incense can calm the mind and move the soul. If the scholar is not qualified enough to have enlightenment on his own, you should give this thing as a gift. If not, let him practice the Tao of Life alone and strengthen his body."
Qiu Yan took a deep breath, looked at the City God deeply, and after a moment of hesitation, he flicked his sleeves to collect the fog, and then silently bowed to the City God.
"This City God is straightforward, but he is willing to spend money. He just thinks that my clone and I are causally involved, so he took out a cultivation method and revealed important information..."
Thinking in his heart, Qiu Yan suddenly felt his scalp tingling, and his heart was shocked, as if he was stared at by something, and even the white light on his body fluctuated slightly.
"It's worthy of being a natural god, with such a sensitive perception." The City God on the opposite side nodded.
………………
About half a cup of tea later.
In the Liu family courtyard, Qiu Yan's room flashed with light, and there was a book on the table. Next to the book was a scroll, and a figure slowly emerged on the painting.
Crash.
The quilt was lifted, and Qiu Yan's scholar clone sat up.
Just now, he had a few words with the City God of Yuanning and gained some benefits. The City God said everything he should say and did not keep him any longer. After saying goodbye, the original god left the temple and returned to his residence.
"Those monsters chased us so quickly."
Recalling the content of the conversation, Qiu Yan muttered and looked at his hands.
"However, I didn't expect that even the City God here could not find the difference between the original and the clone. From this, it seems that the hair is not simple at all. I have to study it carefully and explore the mystery in the future, but the most urgent task now is..."
Thinking in his heart, he got up from the bed, came to the table, and picked up the book.
"I don't know what is written in this book."
Thinking of this, he turned the page.
The next moment, a green light shone from the book, but it was emitted from the rows of beautiful words on the pages.
The light shone on Qiu Yan's face and then dissipated.
Then, Qiu Yan showed a confused look on his face, and lines of words flashed in his eyes.
After a while, he came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and praised: "What a wonderful method, just this one time, the contents of the book were reflected in my mind and turned into memory, without any omissions! If I were to do it, it would be okay to use divine power to infuse other people's memories in person, but it would be impossible to attach it to a book."
Thinking about it, his eyes swept over the rows of beautiful words.
"This book should have been written not long ago, and it is even possible that the city god copied it personally and wrote it temporarily. In this way, it seems that she values me, a natural god, not a little bit, and even the "mortals" around me have put so much effort."
From the words of the city god, it can be seen that the other party did not see the mystery of Qiu Yan's scholar's clone, and only thought that he was a mortal with a cause and effect connection. Even so, he still prepared such a booklet, which shows his carefulness.
"How can this be considered a generous treat..."
After thinking about it, Qiu Yan had a plan in mind. He retracted his thoughts and refocused his attention on the book.
The first page of the book had no less than thirty words, but the core content was the words "a brief description", indicating that this book was just an overview, general and not in-depth.
"Even if the words are general, but my flesh and blood clone has no foundation for cultivation, and it is still very helpful to get this book."
Raised his hand and turned another page, and immediately there were eight words in front of him-
The way of sex is God, and the way of life is immortal.
PS: Thank you for the reward, Brother Xiaoliang. I have something to do tonight. If I come back early, there will be another chapter. If it's too late...
