Chapter 494: Star God's Gift

Today is the last day of preparations for the Star God Festival. The whole town is busy, and the residents are even more excited.

Ye Tingbai didn't dwell on the little fox, but went to the Star God Altar, which is the highest point in the town, about 30 meters high, with bluestone steps connecting the ground and the top. The hill is made entirely of stone, without a piece of soil, as if a huge stone was carved into this shape.

These people are constantly transporting things up the mountain, using the most primitive method, which is to move and lift.

Ye Tingbai wanted to go up and take a look, but was stopped by two villagers, saying that it was not allowed to go up the mountain before the festival day. Just when he wanted to leave, he ran into Ningguang who was about to go up the mountain.

Ningguang: "Is it you?"

Ye Tingbai retreated again and again. If he really fought, he might not be able to beat Ningguang. He still remembered the pressure of the light screen.

"Listen to my explanation. I really have no ill intentions. I am just a passerby."

Ningguang: "Oh? Passersby are immune to my magic? You'd better be honest. If you have other plans, I will not let you go."

Ningguang was surrounded by the crowd and went up the mountain. She did not embarrass Ye Tingbai, but just this simple conversation made Ye Tingbai's status in this town plummet.

The innkeeper even wanted to kick him out, until Ye Tingbai asked him to return all the gold coins, he could not take them out, so he gave up.

Ye Tingbai really didn't expect that Ningguang, one of the seven stars, would have such appeal here that he didn't even want gold coins. Because he was too unwelcome, Ye Tingbai had to stay in the inn and sleep.

In the evening, the little fox came to him again, which surprised him a little.

Ye Tingbai opened the door. The little fox was holding a gold coin in his hand, and his expression was particularly twisted, as if he had something to hide.

"Just tell me what you want to say. What's the point of standing there like that?"

Little Fox: "That's right, that's right, is there something wrong with your gold coin? I don't mean anything else. If there is a problem, I won't use it. There will be problems."

"Problem? What's the problem? Tell me?"

Little Fox: "I feel a little uncomfortable today, so I want to take a gold coin to offer to the Star God. When I offered it before, the Star God would give me back my demonic energy, but this time the Star God confiscated it."

Ye Tingbai: "What is the Star God you are talking about? Can you see the god?"

"No, it's just the statue of the Star God, which is usually used for offering."

"Take me to see it."

"Do you really want to see it? If there is a problem with this gold coin, you will be punished by the Star God~

I don't mean anything else. I'm just afraid that you will get into trouble. I don't care."

This little fox is really kind. She doesn't mind receiving fake money, but she is worried that Ye Tingbai will continue to spend fake money and get into trouble.

But Ye Tingbai was also very curious about how his gold coin was identified as problematic. In terms of composition, there was almost no difference.

The little fox took Ye Tingbai out of the town and came to a desolate hillside. There was a statue on the hillside. The statue looked like a middle-aged woman with a feather fan in her hand.

Ye Tingbai: "Does the Star God look like this? Why do you call her Master?"

The little fox: "There are many appearances of Master Star God, both male and female. This is just one of the statues, but everyone calls him Master Star God."

"Try to offer an ordinary coin. I want to see what it looks like."

The little fox took out a silver carat from her pocket. She looked very reluctant to give it up. This was the money she had saved with great difficulty. It was real money!

But she was too soft-hearted and didn't know how to refuse. She still took the money and walked to the statue.

The little fox placed the silver coin flat in his palm, then lowered his head: "Master Star God, this is for you!"

Ye Tingbai watched the silver coin turn from metal to loess. At this moment, he felt like he had seen a relative. He actually saw a trace of faith power in the silver coin. This part of faith power was extracted, and the coin turned into loess.

Ye Tingbai finally understood why this god would send down oracles every year and send seven stars to supervise here day and night, because coins are the channel or props for it to collect faith.

Faith transmission will have losses, and the farther the distance, the greater the loss.

Generally speaking, the local gods have to solve this difficulty by building many statues to shorten the transmission process of faith and use statues to collect faith.

But this star god is not satisfied with this. While building the statue, it also created currency. This currency is used day and night by people and carries people's spiritual beliefs.

Almost all the power of faith can be collected without loss. The reason why the gold coins made by Ye Tingbai have problems is that there is nothing in them. If this part of the coins circulates in the market for a period of time, it is estimated that it will be the same as normal coins.

This is considered to open Ye Tingbai's eyes. It can be used in this way to absorb faith and reduce losses.

This method is really good. If there are no side effects, he can't see any problems at a glance, but he thinks that there must be a reason why this method has not been promoted.

The power of faith was absorbed, and a trace of demonic energy was fed back from the statue and then absorbed by the little fox. This trace of demonic energy has no attributes. From his perspective, it is a diluted attributeless divine power.

Little Fox: "That's it. If there is a lot of money, the Star God will give back a lot, and it will be very comfortable."

Ye Tingbai: "Let me try."

Ye Tingbai stretched out his empty palm, and the little fox saw it and quickly pulled Ye Tingbai down: "Don't play tricks on the Star God, you will be punished."

Ye Tingbai smiled slightly and patted the little fox's head.

The reason why the statue is a statue is that it has a certain amount of divine power, similar to an automatic computer composed of divine power. It can only judge some basic behaviors, so what Ye Tingbai does here will not be known by the Star God.

Unless the Star God is really bored and checks the records of each statue one by one.

Ye Tingbai stretched out his hand and released a trace of divine power. This divine power, which may not be enough to make a gold coin, excited the statue. It absorbed this trace of divine power at the fastest speed, and then a scroll fell from the statue's hand.

Little Fox: "Wow! It's a gift from God. How could this happen? You didn't do anything."

"What is a gift from God? It says 'Desolate Star' on it?"

"It's a fairy art. This is the highest level of gift. I've only heard of it, but never seen it!"

Ye Tingbai: "What is a fairy art?"

The little fox couldn't explain it clearly, so Ye Tingbai opened the scroll himself.
