[Genshin] When Crumb Nut Leaves Tivat

In the side hall where no one has been there for a long time, there are only two long-burning lamps flickering in the corner, and there is not a plate of melons and fruits on the huge altar table, only an old incense burner, burning three cheap incense sticks.

Even though it was afternoon, when the sun was just right, the windows were tightly closed, adding a bit of chill to the hall for no reason.

The Dragon Lord on the high seat glared, but it was a pity that his weather-beaten face had lost too much luster, and there was no majesty at all.

Hu Tao suddenly felt a little emotional. Humans and gods are not in a relationship of mutual choice. The one who is not chosen is always lonely.

"Tell me, who is your god?" The uncle beside him was still obsessed with this question.

"My god is not here." Walnut answered irrelevantly.She herself did not expect this person to understand herself.

The uncle chuckled lightly, without comment.

Seeing that he had finally given up on these nagging words, Hu Tao breathed a sigh of relief, and took out an improvised business card from his bag.

Hu Tao learned how to use the business card from those two Koreans. Before they parted last time, Hu Tao accepted their business cards and promised to visit them in the city when she was free.

"I'm here to apologize today, about the production of Tiangong." Hu Tao handed him the business card very politely.

"I heard that you are very dissatisfied with the construction of Tiangong in Xiangshengtang. Not only did you come to find trouble with Uncle Yang, but you also specially sent a few people to block the door of my brother's house..." Hu Tao threw out the pre-prepared remarks, wanting to take the moral high ground Condemn him, make him guilty.

In the end, the uncle waved his hand and refused to accept the offer. Not only did he not answer, but he asked her back: "Do you know that this is not the only thing you're wrong about?"

"???" Hu Tao almost laughed angrily.Why did she really do something wrong, more than one?

"I don't know what else I did wrong?" Hu Tao said innocently.

The uncle shook his head, but smiled and beckoned for Hu Tao to follow.

"I can't ask about your sins. Your evil deeds should be judged by the true God." He led Walnut into the real hall.

It was full of devout believers. They knelt on the futons and listened carefully with the books in their hands. The person who led the reading stood at the front and read a sentence aloud, and the believers followed it. It was solemn and strange.

"For those who don't believe in me, I put it aside and let them talk nonsense. In the end, I will punish him thoroughly and clean him up."

"I watch over those who believe in Me... My love is upon them, and they shall not stumble..."

Hearing these words, Hu Tao frowned, feeling that these words sounded a bit evil.

Fortunately, as soon as the uncle walked in, they stopped the uncomfortable chant.

They saluted the uncle and called him "leader" docilely, but they didn't have a good look at Hu Tao behind him. Exploration, jealousy, hatred... Hu Tao could see all kinds of complex expressions.

"It's so funny. These people, who obviously don't know each other, have such big opinions on me." Seeing a man glaring at her, Hu Tao secretly made a face at him, making him blush with anger.

"Sure enough, it was sent by Satan!" He complained to his companion in a low voice, which attracted a burst of echo.

"What is Satan?" Walnut muttered to herself, but she didn't ask, because she was soon asked to kneel in front of a strange symbol.

There is a crescent moon on the upper left of that symbol, and a cross right below it. There is a small star in the upper right corner of the cross. With Walnut's knowledge, I can't see what this symbol represents for the time being.

Seeing that she refused to kneel, the group of believers in the back began to scold her in a low voice: heretics, foolish virgins, children of Satan...

"Silence!" The leader waved his clothes and pointed out a middle-aged woman from the crowd. It was Hu Tao who met the indifferent proprietress in the noodle shop.

The proprietress was not at all impatient as she was in the noodle shop at this time, and listened to every word of the leader very attentively. The most serious students in the school were not as active as her.

"Xiufang, have you heard God's instructions to you?" The leader's eyes were full of expectation.

"I heard it." She clenched her hands, tears welling up in her eyes, "Almighty God, thank you for choosing me to preach for you. I will do my best in my life to let more lost lambs listen to your gospel."

Hu Tao couldn't understand what she was moving at all, and couldn't understand where God was, where did he send his instructions, and why only she couldn't see it.

She looked around, trying to find traces of God from this brand new hall.

"There is no power of any element. Could it be that the power of gods in this world is different from that of Tivat, so I can't feel it?" Hu Tao began to wonder if he had a relationship with the gods of this world, "It shouldn't be, obviously my The power of God can still exist in Yang Lin, and he won't be rejected by this world..."

"Lost lamb, come here and listen to God's instruction." As soon as the uncle beckoned, Hu Tao passed by without anyone urging her, and she sat on the futon in front of the proprietress.

Because she imitated the kneeling posture of believers, although the leader was a little annoyed, he didn't say anything about her.

"Where is God?" She looked up at the noodle shop owner, the one who said she wanted to preach, "Are you God?"

The proprietress was taken aback, with an angry look on her face, she scolded softly: "Speak carefully! I am a person who just heard the words of the "female Christ" and repented, and I am here to help you change your ways.From now on, you follow me to learn the "true way", overcome your own sins, and be saved under God's instructions. "

Walnut was at a loss. She couldn't understand Christ or sin.What crime did she commit, and why did she still want to learn the true way?

Before she could ask, the proprietress picked up a book, "The Word Appears in the Flesh", and began to read the sentences in it to Hu Tao.

Hu Tao was most annoyed by reading and studying, and these words were clouded, and she quickly dozed off.

"Evil!" The landlady yelled angrily, waking her up from her half-dream.

Hu Tao was really frightened. When she saw the instigator, she dared to attack her. She threw a fist at the pillar next to her. The sturdy round wooden pillar with a diameter of [-] centimeters was smashed out by her. A hole was formed, and the roof that was attached seemed to shake a few times with Walnut's anger.

The proprietress who was still furious just now, and the believers who followed the proprietress to scold Hu Tao, suddenly fell silent.

The leader took out his glasses from his pocket and put them on, squatted down to check the dent, looked at it over and over again, and finally pointed at Walnut with a puzzled face, "You..."

Hu Tao was watched by so many people, no matter how big the anger of getting up was, it disappeared, and worry followed.

"This thing is so expensive, can Yang Lin afford it? It's over, he will definitely be scolded to death." She lowered her eyes guiltyly, thinking about the countermeasures, and clenched her fists unconsciously.

The big leader and the proprietress in front of her took a few steps back in silence.

The big leader was still there, "You, you, you" You didn't fart for a long time, Hu Tao raised his head and decided to beat him up, "You, you, you, can't you wait for me to wake up before preaching! Don't know if I get angry ?”

"How could I know such a thing?" The proprietress was surprised by her words.

"Isn't your god omniscient and omnipotent? Didn't she predict you in advance?" Hu Tao was unreasonable.

In front of so many people, the proprietress couldn't hold back a word to refute her, and could only say weakly, "It's because I didn't understand God's will."

"Then you can't blame me for this." Walnut pointed at the hole on the pillar, crackling her knuckles.

"..." Everyone was silent, and the leader was still in the astonishment just now, unable to speak for a moment.

"Why don't you keep talking?" Hu Tao became a little impatient, "Go on, I have to go home after I finish."

The proprietress finally responded to this sentence. She asked the leader with her eyes for instructions, and with the leader's acquiescence, she puffed up her chest, "You have to listen to the Tao for at least three days, and you can only leave after you understand it."

Their so-called understanding is not to understand, but to accept from the heart, to put it bluntly is to join the religion.

"That's not okay. I told my family that I'm going back tonight. Why don't you give me the book, and I'll read it myself when I go back." Hu Tao vaguely felt that she had forgotten something. Did she come here to study?

Both parties fell into a strange logic, and the proprietress began to argue with her. There is more than one book, and there are others after learning this book. Hu Tao sees the tricks, saying that I can recite a few books for you.

Isn't it just memorizing, she can memorize those ancient prose backwards at the age of seven, even though she can't understand a word, she is still very fluent.

"No, why are you memorizing this book?" The proprietress was dizzy with anger, and realized that she was wrong when she finished speaking, and immediately changed her words, "What we want is not your memorization, but your belief in our God."

Hu Tao has never heard such an unreasonable request. Unlike other Liyue people, she has a fanatical belief in the emperor, but she also understands that after signing a contract with God, it cannot be changed overnight or half-hearted.But what they meant was to convert themselves to that female Christ.

"I won't do it!" Hu Tao stood up directly.

But what stood in front of her were twenty or thirty believers who were staring at her.

"Oh, you still want to force people to believe in God?" Facing the iron wall of human form, Hu Tao felt a little helpless.

"Oh, as long as it's the right thing, why not force you?" The leader sneered and asked three or four strong men to tie up the walnuts.

"...Exercise my authority, let what should be kept be kept, what should be rewarded be rewarded, what should be handed over to Satan, what should be handed over to Satan, what should be severely punished, let him be severely punished, what should be destroyed, should be Its demise..." He held the scriptures in one hand, and pressed Hu Tao's restless head with the other, "Such sinners, I will personally preach."
