Yunling Town.
Qingluo Lane.
This is the place with the largest population in Yunling Town. There is a concentrated vegetable market opposite Qingluo Lane, and a little further ahead is the night market.
Every day, no matter morning or evening, Qingluo Lane is bustling with people.
Just three months ago, a temple dedicated to the goddess was suddenly built between the vegetable market and the night market.
There is a statue of the goddess enshrined inside.
What’s strange is that this statue of the goddess is not the deity, ancient mythical beast, or legendary ascended immortal that the people of Dongxiu usually worship.
Instead, it was a tall woman in red clothes, red hair, and a red veil on her face.
Initially, no one was interested in this temple of the goddess. But one day, a spirit animal master in Qingluo Lane was injured by a monster and was in critical condition. His friends carried him to the temple to kneel down and worship the goddess.
Unexpectedly, the spirit beast master's injuries improved rapidly and he recovered soon.
Later, there were many similar incidents. The reputation of the goddess quickly spread to Qingluo Lane, and finally became more and more popular. Everyone in Yunling Town knew about the efficacy of the goddess.
As a result, there was an endless stream of people coming to worship and burn incense every day.
"Uncle, this, isn't this... your master?"
At this time, Qin Gengyun, Liusu, Mo Xiaolan and Yun Wu were standing in the Goddess Temple, looking up at the tall statue of the Goddess, all in amazement.
They recognized her at a glance. This goddess was clearly Qiu Zhihe transformed into Nian Tang!
Of course Liusu also knew that this Nian Tang was not the incarnation of Qiu Zhihe, but of Xia Qinglian!
But no matter what, why would someone make a statue of Nian Tang, build a temple for her, and attract incense?
It is now the You hour, the sun is setting, and there are still many people coming to worship the goddess.
Their way of worship is also very interesting. They don't need to spend spiritual stones. They just kneel on the ground and release their spiritual energy, which will naturally be absorbed by the statue of the goddess.
This means that the wish they made was granted by the Goddess.
"Goddess, I will go to the Marriage Pavilion for a blind date tomorrow. I beg you to bless me with a gentle and virtuous Taoist partner!"
"Goddess, I have been stuck at the fourth level of Qi training for many years. Please bless me to break through as soon as possible!"
"Goddess, my wife and I only have less than fifty breaths each time. Please bless me to extend my time to one stick of incense!"
The wishes of these people were varied and bizarre. Qin Gengyun stood aside and watched as his wife, who had transformed into a person, was actually worshipped as a goddess. He felt it was absurd.
“Who built this temple?”
"Sir, I asked around and found out that it was built by three butchers from a butcher shop in the Qingluo Lane Market."
Liusu asked around and came over to tell him.
The four of them came to the vegetable market and quickly found the butcher's shop.
The feature was too obvious, because there was a long queue in front of the butcher shop, which could be seen from a distance. Qin Gengyun asked the three women to wait for a while and went to queue up himself.
After asking the people in the queue, I learned that the butcher shop only sells fresh meat of spiritual beasts. The three owners of the butcher shop are named Zhao Yi, Sun Er, and Qian San.
After an incense stick of time, it was finally Qin Gengyun's turn. A male cultivator with long, thin cheeks asked with a smile:
"My fellow Taoist, what kind of meat do you want to buy?"
Qin Gengyun spent ten spirit stones to buy two kilograms of snow wolf meat. He chatted with him for a while and learned that the long-faced man was called Zhao Yi. He cupped his hands and said:
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, I want to ask, do you know the goddess?"
Zhao Yi was startled, his expression changed, and he stared at him closely: "Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by this?"
Qin Gengyun said nothing more, and transmitted his voice: "Fellow Daoist Zhao, I have no ill intentions, I just saw that the statue of the goddess is quite similar to a friend of mine, so I was curious."
The ability to transmit sound requires at least a foundation-building cultivator. Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment, and then told the customer behind him that the shop was closed for the day, so he closed the door and invited Qin Gengyun to come in and sit down.
Soon Qian Er and Sun San also arrived. The three of them were excited and bowed to Qin Gengyun:
"Senior, do you really know the Goddess?"
Qin Gengyun nodded: "Not only do we know each other, but we also have a close relationship."
The three of them looked at each other, but seemed unconvinced.
Qin Gengyun took out a red dress and a red veil from his storage bag.
This was the night when he recognized his wife who had transformed into Nian Tang at Yunzhu Mountain. In order to punish her so that she would never play such tricks again, Qin Gengyun stripped off her red dress and kept it for himself.
"Is this the Goddess's clothes?!"
The three of them immediately recognized the clothes. Their eyes suddenly turned red and they jumped up suddenly, their faces full of murderous intent:
"What did you do to the Goddess?"
Qin Gengyun raised his hand, and the three of them were directly pressed to the ground, but they were still roaring:
"You evil villain, what on earth did you do to the Goddess?! We must avenge her!!"
Qin Gengyun found it a little funny, and was certain that these three people had no ill will towards his wife and seemed quite loyal to her.
Could it be that they are my wife’s men?
Maybe I can ask them about the secrets that my wife has been hiding from me?
Thinking of this, Qin Gengyun said slowly: "Don't worry, I will never hurt her, because...she is my wife."
The room suddenly became quiet.
Zhao Yi, Qian Er, and Sun San all stared at Qin Gengyun blankly, with extremely complicated expressions. Sun San murmured:
"Impossible! The Goddess is a fairy who came down to earth, holy and flawless, how could she be married? You are talking nonsense!!"
Qin Gengyun smiled and said, "My wife and I once lived in Yunling Town for a while. She made me spirit beast meat soup every day. At that time, I was wondering where she got so much spirit beast meat. I guess she got it from you guys, right?"
After hearing what he said, the three of them were stunned.
"Are you really the Goddess's...husband?"
Zhao Yi's eyes became distracted, and something in his heart was broken.
Qian Er and Sun San recalled the little things they had experienced with the Goddess in the past. The Goddess had actually mentioned several times that she had used the meat of spirit beasts to cook for a certain man.
At that time they were unwilling to believe it, but now, they couldn't help but believe it.
The three of them slumped on the ground, their expressions dazed.
They were not coveting Nian Tang, but they placed her in an extremely high esteem in their hearts, something that ordinary people could never dream of.
Now, I suddenly heard that the holy and noble goddess had married, and I couldn't accept it at once.
Qin Gengyun is a bit funny. This is the idol officially announcing his marriage, and the fans are upset?
After the three of them calmed down a little, Qin Gengyun asked coldly:
"Why did you build a temple for my wife? How did you know my wife? Tell me everything. If I hide anything, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
He revealed the spiritual energy of the second level of foundation building, which immediately frightened the three people. Sun San hurriedly said:
"Senior, we have no intention of disrespecting the Goddess, please don't misunderstand!"
He then recounted the story of how he was a ghost cultivator and was captured by Nian Tang, who forced them to move the alchemy furnace around. Later, he was forced to find spirit beast meat for Nian Tang, but it was under pressure that the three of them embarked on the right path.
"Three months ago, the goddess gave us the antidote to the Heart-Eating Pill and said she would leave Yunling Town and never come back. We are grateful for the goddess' kindness, so we built this temple for her."
"It was originally for the three of us to kowtow to every day, but the goddess statue seemed to have a spirit and could absorb spiritual energy on its own. We didn't know what was going on and thought it was the goddess who came back. But it wasn't the goddess who came back, but her... husband."
After listening to the three people, Qin Gengyun fell silent.
It turns out that my wife has been helping me silently since so long ago.
My lady, you are so loving to me.
No matter what happens in the future, I will go through it with you hand in hand and never separate!
