"It has no signs of life; it must be dead, a living fossil."
Ye Qiu continued forward without stopping.
Upon getting closer, Ye Qiu could see clearly the person kneeling on the ground.
The man was dressed in a black robe, with a ruddy complexion and no physical damage. His gaze was fixed on the hall, and there was a look of repentance in his eyes.
It seems he is not dead.
Ye Qiu felt a little guilty and was mentally prepared to leave with Zhan Youyou at any time.
After watching for a while and seeing that the old man in black robes remained motionless and showed no abnormalities, Ye Qiu felt relieved.
"It seems he really is dead, but his body is so well preserved. This senior's cultivation level in life must have been so high that we can hardly imagine it."
Zhan Youyou said in a deep voice and bowed.
"He's dead, what's the point of bowing? When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; you won't even see him bowing."
Ye Qiu smiled.
Despite saying that, Ye Qiu also bowed.
Zhan Youyou smiled knowingly: "Husband, you may be sharp-tongued, but you actually understand the importance of respecting the sages."
"Nonsense, I just want to go into the main hall because I'm afraid he'll haunt me and cause trouble," Ye Qiu said.
"Go in without worry, I won't do anything bad."
A hoarse voice suddenly reached Ye Qiu's ears.
"Holy shit."
Ye Qiu was startled and instinctively pulled Zhan Youyou back.
"You've become timid, haha."
A cold laugh rang out once again.
"Is that you speaking?" Ye Qiu stared at the old man in black robes on the ground.
Yes and no.
"..."
Ye Qiu was speechless, but his vigilance was already at its peak.
"Husband, what are you saying? Who is speaking? I didn't hear you."
Zhan Youyou became a little nervous because of Ye Qiu.
"Can't you hear me?" Ye Qiu asked.
"I can't hear you."
"Okay, I must have been hallucinating. It's alright, let's go into the hall."
"OK."
The two walked hand in hand and soon entered the main hall.
Inside the hall, a statue of a goddess is enshrined. The goddess sits cross-legged on a white lotus, her appearance solemn and extremely sacred.
But as Ye Qiu stared at the goddess statue, he felt it looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
"Hey, husband, did you see the goddess statue's eyes seem to move a little?"
Zhan Youyou suddenly asked in surprise.
"I didn't see it. You must be hallucinating."
“It should be.” Zhan Youyou frowned. “I have a feeling that something strange and dangerous is going on here. Maybe we should leave.”
"Why leave? We're already here, we have to bring some treasures with us," Ye Qiu said with a smile.
Ye Qiu then searched the hall.
But inside the main hall, apart from the statue of the goddess, there was nothing else; it was completely empty.
Just as Ye Qiu was about to leave, he suddenly sensed that the white lotus sculpture beneath the goddess statue seemed to be emanating a powerful aura.
"Could this be a treasure?"
Ye Qiu immediately stepped forward to examine it carefully.
When Ye Qiu reached out and touched the white lotus, the white lotus suddenly shone brightly, forcing Ye Qiu back more than ten steps.
"Husband, are you alright?"
Zhan Youyou asked hurriedly.
"I'm fine." Ye Qiu became excited: "I didn't expect this to be the real treasure. I'm going to steal it."
"I advise you not to." The hoarse voice rang out again: "If you take the lotus pedestal under the statue of the Great Emperor away, you will be punished by the heavens. If the heavenly lightning strikes and severs the divine path, you will be a sinner."
"Yeah?"
Ye Qiu was somewhat unwilling, but he was genuinely frightened and no longer dared to make any rash moves.
"Then tell me, where is the treasure?" Ye Qiu turned around and looked at the old man in black robes kneeling outside.
"Husband, are you talking to him?" Zhan Youyou stared at Ye Qiu incredulously: "Are you really possessed?"
Ye Qiu did not respond, his eyes fixed on the old man in black robes: "If you don't tell me, I'll tear your physical body apart."
"The Heavenly Dragon Palace in the east."
The hoarse voice immediately transmitted the message.
"Very good, you are very sensible."
Ye Qiu grinned.
Then, Ye Qiu pulled Zhan Youyou along and headed east.
Zhan Youyou's face turned pale: "Husband, are you bewitched? Wake up, something bad can't happen."
"My little darling, you talk too much. If you keep talking nonsense, your husband will have to teach you a lesson."
Ye Qiu patted Zhan Youyou's pert and plump buttocks...
