Chapter 452: Jile God
“Jile God?” The waiter looked at Song You with surprise.
“What is it?”
“Why are you inquiring about this deity?”
“I have heard of this god’s name before,” Song You replied, “but I also heard that there are no longer any temples dedicated to him in the city and that the authorities have abolished his worship. I was curious as to why, so I wanted to ask.”
“What you said is true,” the waiter admitted, “but I don’t dare say too much about it.” He looked uneasy. “Disrespecting the gods can bring misfortune.”
“Simply discussing the matter isn’t the same as slandering or defaming a deity, is it?” Song You smiled at him. “Besides, we are not in a temple, nor is there a statue of him here. No matter how powerful a god may be, surely he cannot hear the words of every single person in the world.”
“That’s not necessarily true!”
“Oh... is that so?” Song You reached into his robe and pulled out a few copper coins, neatly arranging them one by one on the table.
“Clink...”
With a casual flick of his hand, the waiter swept the coins into his palm.
“This Jile God was truly something—immensely powerful, with divine abilities beyond measure. A few years ago, many people in Yangdu worshiped him. Whenever there was a grand offering ceremony, the incense smoke would rise so thickly it could gather a cloud overhead.” The waiter simply sat down across from Song You.
