Chapter 732 The Return of the Gods 16
When Quan Jiu heard the word "god statue", his eyelids twitched.
Before she could think about it, Lan Xiu had already taken over Qiu Tang's words.
"A ruined temple? What a coincidence, could it be the one I've heard of?"
Qiu Tang: "Tell me about it."
"I heard from my father about the origin of the underground city. It's said to be related to a temple. In the temple, a god who controlled the dawn and dusk of heaven and earth was enshrined. But later, for some unknown reason, the god suddenly disappeared overnight, disrupting the original twelve-hour order of dawn and dusk. The underground city was no longer bright, leaving only endless darkness..."
His description reminded Quan Jiu of Jill Town. She lowered her eyes and pretended to be dazed, but secretly pricked up her ears and listened quietly.
"At first, it wasn't just the underground city; the entire Cang Qiong Continent was affected. There was only darkness, no day. For an entire year, the people of the continent didn't see the sun... Later, other gods intervened, sacrificing the mythical beast, the Three-legged Golden Crow, to artificially create a sun for the Cang Qiong Continent. This allowed the continent to see the sun again."
"Why is there still no daylight in the dungeon?"
Qiutang was fascinated by what he was saying, and only raised his doubts after he stopped.
Lan Xiu knocked on his head with the handle of his fan:
"Natural and man-made things are ultimately different. The Three-legged Golden Crow is nothing but scum in front of a true god. Even if the god escapes, his golden body is still in the dungeon, and his power remains. The Three-legged Golden Crow wouldn't dare to go there and act recklessly."
There is no daylight, only eternal darkness. Such natural conditions are perfect for breeding evil. The people who built the dungeon wanted to take advantage of this.
Qiu Tang covered his head and said, "Just talk, why are you using your hands?"
Lan Xiu: "I couldn't help it."
There was a clear stupidity in his eyes that made people want to bully him.
"Damn, Lan Xiu, are you itching for trouble?" Qiu Tang made a move to attack.
Lan Xiu dodged nimbly and hid behind Quan Jiu:
“Sister Shen, lend me some space.”
Quan Jiu: “…”
Why is there another "Sister Shen"?
Qiu Tang never bullies women. Lan Xiu knows this, so he boldly hides behind Quan Jiu.
Qiu Tang really stopped fighting and glared at him fiercely through the wine:
"Lan Xiu, hiding behind a woman, do you have any fucking shame?"
Lan Xiu remained calm and composed: "All is fair in war."
"grass!"
Qiu Tang cursed angrily.
Quan Jiu glanced at the boy who was being eaten alive by Lan Xiu, and curled his lips slightly:
"Master Lan, I'm quite interested in the temple. Do you know more about it?"
Quan Jiu's sixth sense kicked in, and he always felt that the temple in the dungeon might be related to the temple in Jill Town.
Lan Xiu didn't expect her to take the initiative to talk to him. He was stunned for a second and said regretfully:
“I’m sorry, Sister Shen, that’s all I know.”
Quan Jiu: "Where did Young Master Lan get the news about the temple?"
Lan Xiu looked stunned. "...My father loves collecting unofficial history books. He read these from them. When I was little, I loved listening to bedtime stories, so he would tell them to me."
"How dare you spread such unofficial history?" Qiu Tang grabbed his pigtail. "Ninety-nine percent of unofficial history is fabricated, and I listened to it so carefully for so long! Lan Xiu, you're really getting better and better."
Lan Xiu explained for himself: "I said it at the beginning, it's just said, said, said!"
The two started arguing again. Quan Jiu asked the others about the location of the dungeon, thinking that he must go there when he had the chance.
There were five people present, including Lan Xiu, Qiu Tang and the young man in black who spoke at the beginning, as well as a young woman and a young man.
This group of "second generation immortals" are all relatively young, the youngest is fifteen years old, and the oldest, Lan Xiu, is only twenty-three, but their cultivation base is actually at the Nascent Soul stage.
The levels of cultivation in this plane are divided into Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Core Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, Mahayana Stage and Tribulation Crossing Stage.
When the Mahayana period is completed, one can leave the immortal body and transcend the tribulation to become a true god.
As the original saint of the temple, she entered the Nascent Soul stage at the age of eighteen, which caused a sensation in the entire Cangkong Continent. She was even hailed as "the first genius girl in Cangkong Continent". Now it seems that the people from the hidden family are just too lazy to fight for these false names.
“Sister Shen, don’t be shy, we will all be family from now on.”
After Qiu Tang and Lan Xiu finished arguing, they looked back at Quan Jiu and introduced her.
"My name is Qiu Tang, my father is Qiu Heyun, and he is also the owner of this villa."
He pointed at Lan Xiu and said, "His father is Lan Wuqing, the head of the Lieyan Hall. He's the man in the crowd who's wearing the most flamboyant clothes."
Quan Jiu thought for a moment: "Red clothes?"
Qiu Tang snapped his fingers: "That's right, Sister Shen is really smart."
Quan Jiu inevitably got goosebumps.
"His father looks quite young."
He looks to be in his early twenties, but I didn't expect he already has a son.
Lan Xiu sneered: "This old man is almost four hundred years old."
Because of this vixen-like face that attracts many women, his father and mother often quarreled.
Qiu Tang knocked on the table and pointed at the young man in black: "This is Ah Ci. The leader of Qingyun Sect is his master. He is the youngest person here and is only fifteen years old this year."
He turned around and pointed at the only girl present: "Chao Ge, the leader of the Xuannv Sect is her uncle."
"The last one is the little genius from our secluded family." Qiu Tang kept it a secret.
Quan Jiu's gaze fell on the young man in red who was the only one who had not been introduced at the scene. From beginning to end, he did not say a word and did not raise his head, as if he was not interested in the fighting and noise of the crowd.
Qiu Tang sighed and gave Ji Mingye a look:
"Ji Mingye, you can call him Aye, or you can call him Brother Aye. His father is the master of the Divine Doctor Valley. He is the first one among our group to enter the Nascent Soul stage, a year earlier than Aci. At the age of fourteen, he became a freak in the Nascent Soul stage."
Quan Jiu nodded at him. Ji Mingye's cold face was stunned for a moment. After a long time, he nodded his chin lightly as a response.
There are six major forces here, including Qingyun Sect, Xuannv Sect, Qiuyun Villa, Divine Doctor Valley, Lieyan Hall, and herself.
Qiu Tang patted his chest and wanted to touch her head, but when he caught a glimpse of her cold profile, he withdrew his hand in dismay:
"Sister Shen, besides Ah Ci, you are the youngest person here. You can call me brother or sister."
Quan Jiu: “…”
Her real age is probably hundreds of times older than everyone here combined.
Qiu Tang looked at her with excitement and anticipation, like a pug wagging its tail.
Quan Jiu's throat rolled with difficulty: "...Okay."
She said so, but she didn't scream.
Lan Xiu’s face was gentle: “Sister Shen, we are all of the same age. If you need anything, you can tell us. Don’t be polite. Whether it is reasonable or unreasonable, we will do our best to satisfy you.”
