Hutao uses me to judge my performance

"The energy fluctuations emitted from it are a bit like the Nail of Cold Sky. They are very similar, but not the same."

According to his research, the energy emitted by the Cold Sky Nail has certain purifying and repairing properties.

The light emitted by this necklace also has purifying properties.

"It shouldn't be my thing." Jiang Bai shook his head to indicate that he knew nothing.

Although Jiang Bai said this, Abedo felt that even if it was not Jiang Bai's thing, it must have some connection with Jiang Bai.

"If it's convenient, let me study it for a while."

"Take it and study it."

It has been determined that the reason why the Qiuqiu people here are different from those outside is because of the existence of this necklace.

The energy emitted by this necklace subtly "improved" or "restored" their intelligence a little bit.

I just don’t know what changes will happen here after this necklace is taken away.

Normally, it won't have much impact. Since your spiritual intelligence has improved, it won't disappear suddenly.

It’s just that the next generation of this ethnic group may not be so smart.

Qiuqiu Shaman watched their movements from the side, holding up his staff and dancing, as if performing some kind of sacrifice.

Jiang Bai looked at the aging old shaman, "Speaking of which, this Qiuqiu shaman called me Unu, which made me very confused."

Abedo also looked at the old shaman, "If I remember correctly, this word is the word they use to call the gods."

"Ah."

There are too few words in Qiuqiu language, and there are too few meanings that can be expressed. Jiang Bai wanted to ask, but he couldn't find the words to organize the language.

The old shaman heard the word Unu in their mouths and shouted Unu Unu while holding up his staff.

Jiang Bai held his head and didn't know how to say that he was not his god.

"It stands to reason that it is impossible for Qiuqiu people to respect humans as their gods."

Abedo held his chin with one hand and was also puzzled by this phenomenon.

So far, apart from the Hei Ri people believe in, no scholars have studied what the gods the Qiuqiu people believe in. They only know that the Qiuqiu people call their god "Unu."

The question is, is this "Uun" an exclusive name for a certain god, or does it refer to everything they believe in?

Judging from the old shaman's attitude, it should be the latter.

Abedo thought of a more reasonable explanation:

"Is it possible that you have been frozen here for too long, and these Qiuqiu people have been watching you frozen since you were born, and subconsciously worship you as a symbolic totem?"

After all, there is still a gap between frozen people and real people. With the ice blocking them, their hostility to humans will be greatly reduced. Plus, if they watch them every day, they will inevitably make some assumptions, thinking that they are gods or something.

"But if that's the case, why do they still recognize me after I wake up?"

Jiang Bai thought so too at first, but there were still many things that didn't make sense.

There is still a certain gap between seeing people from the ice surface and seeing people face to face. Ice will refract light, which will cause a gap between what you see and what is frozen in the ice itself.

In addition, he may not be shallowly frozen. Through the thick ice, he might look like an alien.

Moreover, when Xiaoshi first brought him into the cave, not every Qiuqiu people wanted him to come in. Some Qiuqiu people unabashedly wanted to attack him, but they were later stopped by the old shaman.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to recognize him based on this.

"Is it possible that it's the breath? Did they recognize your breath?" Abedo made a guess.

"Aura? It shouldn't be possible."

Jiang Bai knew that he was in a breath-holding state. This was his last resort to save himself. Even his heartbeat and blood flow would stop, let alone his breath.

"That may be because they sensed your magnetic field, or energy field," Abedo said.

Everyone has their own magnetic field. This magnetic field is invisible and difficult to explore, but it does exist.

No one knows whether the Qiuqiu people have the ability to distinguish magnetic fields, but Abedo feels that they should.

After all, people in Qiuqiu all wear masks, and there is not much difference in individuals. Without special identification methods, you may not know who is who.

"Then let's assume that for now."

Jiang Bai looked at the ice wall. The ice wall was not connected to anything. After Jiang Bai dug so deep, he could already see the stone wall behind the ice wall.

From this point of view, it is very likely that the necklace was frozen with him.

But, where did this necklace come from?

In an unknown ancient palace, an ice abyss apostle tore open a rift in space and appeared.

He looked at the person in front of him and lowered his head slightly.

"your Highness."

Ying raised her head and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Teyvat has an outsider."

Ying frowned slightly, "What?"

Outsiders are of great significance to Teyvat. The first outsider, Phanes, created mankind, and each subsequent arrival also caused a lot of turmoil.

Now that Tianli is at her weakest, she does not allow any more changes.

"Who is it? Where did it come from? When did it appear?"

"Unlike you who were summoned here, he entered Teyvat directly across the border. He should have been in Teyvat for a long time, but he was in a state of silence before, and we only discovered it when he started to act recently."

The apostle of the abyss raised his head and glanced at her, "He has also interacted with your blood relatives. There is this outsider in Mondstadt's dragon disaster."

Ying quickly searched her memory, trying to find such a person. However, some parts of her memory were very vague, as if they were deliberately covered by something. She did not find a suitable person in her memory.

Ying looked at the Abyss intently and asked, "What is his position?"

"I don't know. But judging from his behavior, he may be biased towards the Seven Gods."

Ying showed a mocking smile, "Oh, Seven Gods."

She looked into the darkness in the distance. There seemed to be something terrifying hidden in the darkness, but it also seemed like there was nothing there.

She couldn't help but think of her brother and murmured softly.

"Brother, when you finish your journey, will you understand me?"

Chapter 336 Master, please have tea

It has been a few days since Jiang Bai returned to the Hall of Purity.

I wasted a little time in Mondstadt, wasted a little time on the road, and stayed in the Qiuqiu people's cave for a while. It took a lot of time in total.

Although it took a little time, Jiang Bai did not forget about the apprenticeship tea. Every day before dawn, he went to find the teleportation anchor point and teleported to Dihuazhou to get the dew of the glazed lily.

In addition to the dew collected previously, seven days of glazed lily dew has been collected.

"Master, I have collected the glass lily dew. When will you drink the apprenticeship tea?"

Jiang Bai squeezed Zhongli's shoulders awkwardly. This was his thickest golden thigh, so he had to hug it tightly.

"Oh? Already healed?" Zhongli was a little surprised.

He thought Jiang Bai was delayed by things and was not so fast.

"In that case, let's drink it now. I happen to have the tea here, so you don't need to make a trip." Zhongli said casually.

This time it was Jiang Bai's turn to be unwilling, "Why don't you choose a good and auspicious day to take a bath and burn incense? Isn't this too casual?"

Zhongli held the teacup in his hand, raised one eyelid, and looked at him with a bit of joking, "Didn't you want to become a disciple before?"

Jiang Bai pretended to be stupid, "Is there such a thing? Why didn't I know? You must have remembered it wrong because you are old."

Jiang Bai pretended to look at the sky, "I think today is a pretty good day. Wait a minute, I'll go take a bath and burn incense, and then I'll call the hall master over too."

"Haha." Seeing Jiang Bai run away, Zhongli raised a smile on his lips.

In the days of retirement, it is quite interesting to have such a living treasure.

Jiang Bai returned to the yard, lit the incense, washed himself clean, put on his best clothes and stood in front of the mirror.

There is a big difference between him now and the person he was when he first came to the Hall of Purity.

Before, he didn't know where he came from, his past or his future, he just took one step at a time.

There was nothing wrong with it, but something was always missing.

But now, he has a home of his own, family and friends, and people he wants to spend his life with, so he no longer needs to wander.

His golden eyes shone brightly, no longer the previous state of lack of brilliance, they were as bright as the sun in the sky.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he smiled brightly.

"Are you okay~" Hu Tao's voice came from outside.

She sat on the stone table under the big tree, shaking her white calves.

Her injury has almost healed and she has regained her previous energy. She is very excited about Jiang Bai's formal apprenticeship.

"I'm coming."

Jiang Bai opened the door and walked out. The sun shone on him, warm and bright.

Hutao clasped her little hands behind her back and circled around him, "Oh, you did a good job of cleaning up."

"This is a big deal, so of course we can't take it lightly."

Jiang Bai said that he was serious about becoming a disciple.

"Let's go, let's go! I can't wait too!"

Hu Tao took the lead and ran to Zhongli's courtyard, followed by Jiang Bai.

He jumped and jumped anxiously to catch up with Jiang Bai. Although he didn't know what was going to happen, it felt like it was a very important thing.

Seeing that it also wanted to go, Jiang Bai squatted down and let it jump on his shoulders.

Although Jiang Bai attaches great importance to formal apprenticeship, it is not very important to Zhongli.

When a person lives too long, there are not many things that can be called important.

Zhongli poured the fragrant dew he collected into the pot and waited for the water to boil slowly.

Jiang Bai sat down and Hu Tao stood next to him.

Jiang Bai watched Zhongli slowly put the tea leaves into the pot and poured in the freshly boiled dew that he had collected for seven days.

The tea leaves slowly stretch their green figure, and the tea leaves that are hard to buy for a thousand dollars show their proper tea fragrance.

Just smelling it like this is enough to hit your heart and mind.

"After drinking this cup of tea, you and I will officially become master and disciple."

"Yes."

Jiang Bai picked up the teacup, raised it to his brow, and handed it to Zhongli respectfully.

"Master, please have tea."

He didn't know if there were any cumbersome procedures for apprenticeship, but since Zhongli only said to drink apprenticeship tea, then he would drink apprenticeship tea.

Zhongli took a sip from the tea cup and was quite satisfied with the taste of the tea.

"This is the apprenticeship ceremony given to you by my master."

Zhongli took out the turquoise given by Wendy.

Looking at what Zhong Li took out, Jiang Bai's eyes lit up.

It would be a good thing if Zhongli could give it to him as a gift.

He happily took it and said, "Thank you, Master."

Zhong Li smiled and said nothing.

Although I used things given by my old friends as my apprenticeship ceremony, I guess my old friends wouldn't mind.

"Aqiu-"

Wendy, who had already returned to Mondstadt, sneezed.
