After hearing the words of the wedding lady, the Djinn immediately puffed up his chest proudly, "Let me tell you, I will not eat people. Gods who eat people will not achieve good results in their cultivation. I will not be that stupid."
Ye Taotao was a little curious and asked: "Why can't you achieve good results in cultivation if you eat a human god?"
The wedding lady looked at the confused and confused look of the little monster and explained in a warm voice: "Practice the divine way requires the incense and offerings of mortals, and the divine personality is condensed from the wishes of mortals. In other words, in the minds of mortals, you are
What kind of gods and powers they have are determined by mortals’ faith in you.”
Ye Taotao was still a little confused when he heard this, but Bai Xin understood, "What the empress means is that if a god eats people, and the people think that this god can eat people, then this god will turn towards the cannibals."
direction, and finally turn into a monster that must feed on humans?"
The bride nodded and said: "That's why I don't allow the ghosts under me to eat humans. Firstly, it is to make the people respect us and help us cultivate the divine way as soon as possible. Secondly, once the image of cannibalism is deeply rooted in people's hearts, the godhead will be destroyed."
It will be affected, causing them to go crazy and eventually lose themselves."
In fact, the wedding lady also discovered this through long-term cultivation and practice.
For example, a large number of unmarried girls will come to worship her in the hope of marrying a good husband in the future; over time, the wedding lady has the priesthood of protecting unmarried girls and blessing their marriages.
If the other ghost kings had not come to attack Ji Zhong, the wedding lady would not have minded informing them of this discovery. Unfortunately, before she could say anything, the ghost kings all committed suicide.
"So," the bride-dressed lady concluded, "the ghosts and gods protect the human race, and the human race repays it with incense and offerings. This is the correct Shinto practice. Cannibalism is nothing but self-destruction."
The Djinn also nodded and said, "Yes! That's why I won't do such stupid things as destroying my own practice just for temporary gratification."
Bai Chiling, who was listening impatiently, pointed at the lamp on the altar and muttered unhappily: "Speaking of so much, I don't practice Shinto... No matter what, I want to take this lamp back."
Ye Taotao glanced at the djinn, pouted and said, "Then you have to agree to let him go with you."
The Djinn was unwilling to do so. He glared at Bai Chiling fiercely, "I won't go with you. If you want to go, you can go by yourself!"
Bai Chiling said displeasedly: "You are my lamp!"
The djinn crossed his arms in front of his chest, raised his plump little chin, stared at him from top to bottom, and said arrogantly: "I am not your lamp, I am the djinn of this village!"
Bai Chiling was furious, but there was nothing he could do about the djinn.
He had no choice but to turn his head and look at Ye Taotao, with a look of help in his eyes, but his mouth was very hard: "It was you who lost my lamp at first, and now he refuses to leave with me, what do you think we should do?"
Ye Taotao shrugged her shoulders and rolled her eyes, "I just said that I would help you find the lamp, but I didn't promise that you would find a way to make the lamp follow you."
She paused, then looked at the djinn beside her, and muttered: "Besides, he has his own consciousness and thinking now, so we can't force him like a slave."
Hearing this, the Deng Shen couldn't help but look at Ye Taotao a few more times, raised the corners of his mouth, showed a big smile, and said happily: "That's right, you are still right."
He floated to Ye Taotao's side, looked at Ye Taotao quite affectionately, his cheeks were red, and he whispered: "You, what's your name?"
Ye Taotao said: "My name is Ye Taotao, what's yours?"
The genie was stunned, the crimson color on his face deepened, and he seemed a little embarrassed. He lowered his head slightly and said with some loss: "I...I don't have a name."
"Ah..." The little monster tilted its head and thought for a while, then caught a glimpse of the lamp on the altar, and immediately smiled and said, "Then, let me call you A Deng!"
"...Okay." The lamp god was silent for a few moments, and then said softly.
Bai Chiling became even more unhappy when he saw this scene.
That was his lamp, how could he and Ye Taotao be so happy talking to each other?
"I don't care, I must take the lamp back!" Bai Chiling stamped his feet, looked at Ye Taotao and the Deng Shen angrily, and threatened, "Otherwise, none of you will be able to get that picture stone!
"
Ye Taotao immediately showed a look of dissatisfaction, "How can you go back on your word?"
She had obviously agreed at the beginning that all she had to do was help him find the lamp, but now that the lamp refused to follow him, it was not her fault.
"If you hadn't left him here in the first place, how could he have practiced Shinto and become conscious of his own?" Bai Chiling began to be unreasonable.
Ye Taotao was so aggrieved that she pursed her lips and said, "Obviously it was you who insisted on giving me that lamp..."
She was originally afraid of ghosts. Isn't it normal for her to be frightened and faint when she entered the ghost world with that lamp? She didn't throw away the lamp on purpose.
Xiao Yan, who was standing aside, caught a glimpse of the aggrieved expression of the little monster, glanced at Bai Chiling sideways, snorted, and said lazily: "You said you wanted to find this lamp, and we have found it for you.
, However, if you still want to go back on your word, don’t blame us for not being merciful."
The hairs all over Bai Chiling's body stood up. He quickly took a few steps back. The skin on the back of his hand began to squirm, and a Gu worm was about to move under the skin.
"What are you going to do?" He looked at Xiao Yan warily.
Xiao Yan raised one eyebrow, with a murderous look in his eyes, and sneered: "Now we are all our people, wouldn't we be able to get the image stone if we kill you?"
If Bai Chiling were a cat, he would be afraid that all his fur would explode at this time, and he would be hunched over his back and startle people. His dark eyes stared at the group of people in front of him in shock and fear, his face full of vigilance.
Ye Taotao seemed a little embarrassed. She twisted her fingers together and thought to herself: There is no need to do it so brilliantly...
However, when she raised her head and saw Xiao Yan's face, as well as the slight joking hidden in her eyebrows, she breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he must be trying to lie again.
Thinking like this, the little monster also decided to cooperate, staring fiercely at Bai Chiling with his hands on his hips: "Yes! Anyway, we are all our people here, don't even think about escaping!"
Bai Chiling was anxious and scared, but he still held his neck and shouted: "You guys, don't think I'm afraid of you!"
Ye Taotao stared at his pale face and trembling calves, and muttered: "You don't look like you are afraid of us..."
