The shrine located on the hillside has a strong Inazuma style, mixed with a little bit of Liyue style.

Asara Shrine is composed of three parts, the front road, the square and the shrine itself, which are no different from other shrines.

After passing through a not-so-dense forest, the entire shrine came into Bai Qiyun's sight.

Asara Shrine is not very wide in terms of size, and he can take in the entire shrine within his field of vision with just one glance.

But it was precisely because of this that he could deeply feel the biggest difference between Inazuma Shrine and Liyue Temple.

Different from the big and grand advocated by Liyue, Inazuma Shrine is full of "small and exquisite".

As a Liyue native, Bai Qiyun naturally prefers Liyue-style buildings, but he also knows very well that Liyue's size and grandeur are based on its vast territory and abundant resources. For a country like Daozhu, which is divided into islands,

, Small and exquisite, in a sense, it is the inevitable result of the evolution of local customs and customs, and it is also a kind of spiritual sustenance for Daozuma people.

However, there are still some places where the two are very similar, such as the long path leading to the vestibule.

Perhaps in order to inspire people's awe for the gods or cave owners, whether it is Inazuma's shrine or Liyue's Immortal Cave, they all like to make the road connecting the inside and outside very long.

Give the visitor a psychological hint that it is "difficult to climb" to achieve this goal.

However, Inazuma's shrine is different from the Immortal Cave in Liyue. It is open to worshiping guests.

Therefore, this road will often be built to be more suitable for people to walk. At least it will not behave like a certain immortal in Liyue who always trapped people in amber.

As Qian Laili walked through the road in front of the court, the true nature of the shrine was finally fully revealed in front of Bai Qiyun's eyes.

But what he cared more about than the weather-beaten shrine was the big tree growing behind the shrine.

The main building of the shrine is at least four to five meters high, but the dense ginkgo tree is still much taller than the house in front of it, almost two to three times the height of the house.

The shrine leans on a thick tree trunk, as if leaning on a wide rock wall.

This was the first time that Bai Qiyun had seen such a huge ginkgo tree, even compared to the dragon tree above the seal of Ruotuo Dragon King, it was still inferior.

Compared with the small ginkgo trees on Narukami Island, they are so tall that I don’t know where they are.

As the shrine of Qinglai Island, the house adopts the most traditional wooden architecture, and the surface is painted with a thick layer of red paint.

However, judging from the marks all over it, it must have been there for some years.

There are some small sacred cherry trees planted around the shrine, which form a strong contrast with the huge ginkgo tree.

This feeling is like the status of the sacred cherry blossoms and ginkgo trees on Narukami Island has been reversed, which makes people feel a little curious.

As the palace minister of Asara Shrine, Rei Asara lowered his head and led the young man who had just entered Qinglai Island today into his own shrine step by step.

But before she could introduce Bai Qiyun, a hoarse voice with a touch of softness sounded in their ears.

"Young, Xiaoli is back."

Following the sound, I could only see a black cat lying on the front desk of the shrine, stretching, and no other people.

Just when Bai Qiyun was wondering who was talking, the black cat suddenly ran down from the counter and quickly ran to Qian Laili's shoulder.

Although the body is not petite, the black cat is standing very steadily on the girl's shoulders at this time, with no intention of falling down.

The black cat bared its teeth and made an expression that was half-smiling but not smiling at the boy. Bai Qiyun was stunned when he saw it.

What is this.

"Master Bezi, this is Mr. Bai from Liyue. I will take him to the shrine to register."

Unexpectedly, Qian Laili began to whisper warmly to the black cat in front of him.

Although Qian Laili did not introduce it, her words had already made Bai Qiyun think a lot.

"Wait... Qian Lai... this cat..."

"Why, it's hard to believe that I can talk. If you are from Liyue, you should know about immortals, right?"

Sure enough, the same voice as before came out of the black cat's mouth again.

Now Bai Qiyun had no choice but to believe it if he didn't want to.

After all, he has never seen a talking cat, but he has seen a talking bird.

Daozhu has many similarities with Liyue. The non-human beings who have developed spiritual wisdom here are called monsters.

But Daozuma's monsters don't have the heavenly skills of Immortal Liyue, and at best they can only cast some simple spells.

Tengu and ghosts are also a kind of monsters in a sense, as well as the palace minister of Narukami Taisha Shrine.

Even monsters of this level may not be much stronger than humans after they are separated from the Eye of God. Arataki Ito and Kujo Sora who have lost the Eye of God are just strong warriors.

There is no qualitative gap with humans.

Conversely, racial flaws often expose their weaknesses to others.

Just like Arataki Ito who was easily knocked down by beans.

"I'm sorry, junior, I've offended you."

Bai Qiyun was still a little in awe of monsters.

After all, there are often legends about gods and ghosts circulating in Liyue. Generally speaking, the ghosts involved are ghosts, and other than that, they are just pure monsters.

As for the ghost, he had seen it when he was dragged by Hu Tao to help the Hall of Rebirth, and it was not something that made people talk about it.

On the contrary, it was this rumored monster that had always made him a little curious.

After all, a talking cat is so cool. It's infinitely better than that dead fox that only makes trouble.

"No need, outsiders usually do this. I'm used to it."

Regarding the boy's initiative to give in, the black cat, known as Suzi, did not intend to accept it with peace of mind.

After all, it is just a monster guarding the Asara Shrine. As long as it does not disturb its rest, it will be fine.

Thinking of this, Fuzi jumped down from Qian Laili's body, glanced at the girl and boy with a slightly strange look, and asked.

"Xiao Li, don't we usually leave the registration of outsiders to the big shrine at the foot of the mountain? Why did you think of coming here?"

That's right, as the shrine that governs an island, Asara Shrine will obviously not conduct official business in such a remote place.

As Fuzi said, the place where things are really handled is the area called the 'big shrine'.

"Dasha?"

But it was obvious that Bai Qiyun, who had just arrived, did not understand the meaning of Suzi's words.

Facing the young man's inquiring gaze, Qian Laili sighed quietly and pointed sideways towards the foot of the mountain in the distance.

Looking into the distance from here, you can see a scenery different from the color of the fields. The scattered houses are stacked together, just like a cluster of towns.

The existence known as the ‘big shrine’ is the most majestic building among them.

"That's the Taisha Shrine. As the government affairs handling agency of Asara Shrine on Qinglai Island, matters on the island are generally handled at the Taisha Shrine."

In fact, the Asara Shrine here is called the old shrine by the residents of the island. It is only open to the residents on New Year's Day every year for worship and prayer.

So no matter how you look at it, Qian Laili's behavior in bringing Bai Qiyun here is illegal.

"The affairs of the big society are complex and there are many people. It is very troublesome to take him there to do things."

The girl answered briefly, but obviously, everyone knew that this was just an excuse.

By virtue of his position as palace minister, Asari has extremely privileged power no matter where he is on Qinglai Island, let alone in the subordinate big shrine.

But as a cat demon who has lived in Asara Shrine for hundreds of years, how could he not hear the prevarication in Asari's words?

It knows very well that Qian Laili will not do anything without hiding it.

Then there is only one reason left, that is...

The black cat glanced at the boy beside him who seemed to understand but didn't quite understand, and made his own judgment in his mind.

"It doesn't matter to me anyway, as long as you don't find it troublesome."

Suzi's tail flicked behind him, and immediately a group of calico cats surrounded him, surrounding him like an emperor.

In Bai Qiyun's opinion, these cats are just cats with a bit of humanity, not cat monsters like sleeping children.

At best, it was similar to the little white cat he had raised before.

Seeing Suzi and no longer asking any questions, Qian Laili bowed to Bai Qiyun and led him inside the shrine to start the registration.

The so-called 'registration' actually does not simply refer to recording the information of people coming to the island. In that case, this kind of behavior can only be carried out in the big shrine, and it will not be binding on the residents of the island.

The wonderful thing about the act of ‘registering’ is that it is an act of praying to God.

Fuzi took the cats and took a few steps back to ensure that there was only Asari Rei within five meters of the shrine house.

"Mr. Bai, please give me a strand of your hair."

The pure white miko stretched out her hand to the boy, her face gentle.

Although he didn't know what the other party was going to do, Bai Qiyun still pulled out a piece of hair and handed it to the other party with a strange look on his face.

This is something that must be delivered when "registering" in Qinglai Island, and everyone is no exception.

Asari walked into the depths of the shrine with his hair, and slowly closed the door.

Even Bai Qiyun outside the door didn't know what was going on inside.
