Tang Zhou waved his hand and lit the candlestick in the cave, illuminating the space.

Then the leaping light of the fire outlined a statue, about nine feet high, standing in the deepest part of the cavern.

This is a statue of a man wearing a mask, standing with his hands down, and the style of his clothes is obviously the style of the Central Plains, but it is not quite the same as the fashionable clothing of the moment, and it is more ancient.

On the chest of the statue, a round of sunburst is carved, showing a dull cyan color, emitting a little fluorescence in the dim firelight.

Seeing this scene, Tang Zhou's whole person was stunned for a moment, and muttered, "Qingyang?"

What does this mean?

Tang Zhou couldn't help but ponder, was the predecessor of the Qingyang Sect a witch sect born out of ancient times?

But why is the statue wearing clothes in the style of the Central Plains? And the mask on the statue also seems familiar, Tang Zhou recalled it carefully, and remembered, isn't this mask the bronze mask that the earth master carried?

Tang Zhou felt that he had a bold guess, but he couldn't be very sure.

He took a deep breath, crossed over this statue that symbolized the "Qingyang", and sure enough, he found a new corridor behind him, and after passing through this corridor, after walking far away, Tang Zhou entered the second cave.

This cave is much the same as the previous one, with the same statue standing, but this time it is a seated statue, and the clothes on the body have also changed slightly, which seems to be more luxurious, symbolizing the princes of the world. On the chest is also carved a round of sun, emitting white fluorescence, which is undoubtedly a symbol of the white sun.

When Tang Zhou saw this statue, he was no longer shocked at the beginning, he seemed to be smiling but not laughing, he seemed to be crying but not crying, it was very weird, after glancing at the statue, he continued to walk forward.

Half an hour later, he came to the third cave. At this time, most of the days had passed since he entered this place, and Tang Zhou estimated that his foot strength had already gone hundreds of miles away, and he was afraid that he had already left the range of southern Xinjiang. In the third cave, as expected, there was still a statue, but it had collapsed and shattered, which greatly surprised Tang Zhou.

Tang Zhou was very puzzled, could it be that someone had already been here before, and why did the statue collapse and shatter?

Tang Zhou rummaged through the ruins for a long time, and finally found a piece of gravel engraved with a red sun, this gravel had become crystal clear, and it was vaguely visible that it contained a cloud of divine power that was so rich that it was almost substantial.

Tang Zhou's heart moved, could this be the treasure he was looking for? a treasure that could help him solve the hidden dangers in his body?

Thinking of this, Tang Zhou began to try to absorb the divine power in it, and in an instant, Tang Zhou felt that a divine power that was purer than the divine power in his body began to enter his body, as if he had drunk a bowl of chilled sour plum soup in the hot summer, so that the burning and anxious feeling brought to him by the Qilin blood quickly receded.

Tang Zhou couldn't help but be overjoyed when he found that he no longer had to fight against the madness and beast nature in his body, and he immediately sat down cross-legged and inhaled all the divine power in his body.

There is a saying: One day in the cave, the world has been a thousand years. Although Tang Zhou was not like this, when he was concentrating on absorbing and refining these divine powers, nearly ten days had passed unconsciously. During this time, Song Zheng and Qin Qing fought in the White Emperor City, the Wudao Sect took over the White Emperor City, and Li Xuandu went to Miaozhenzong, and then went to Tangjiabao in Shuzhong Mansion from Tiancang Mountain, where Miaozhenzong was located.

When Tang Zhou absorbed all the divine power, he had already been logically promoted to the Heavenly Artificial Transformation Realm, after all, he had accumulated his foundation for many years, and after taking the Qilin Blood and Demon Pill, he already had the qualifications to enter the Heavenly Artificial Transformation Realm, but he was only limited by various hidden dangers to stop, and at this time, with the help of divine power, it was naturally a matter of course.

Tang Zhou glanced at the broken stone that was no longer in his hand, and threw it aside, and began to hesitate whether to break the two statues in front of him, the third statue that collapsed had so much divine power, then the first two statues should also contain extremely large divine power, if he could swallow all the divine power in it, it would not only be as simple as breaking through the Heavenly Artificial Transformation Realm, maybe he could also go further towards the Immortal Realm, even if it was comparable to Zhang Haishi, Wang Tianxiao and others, it was not impossible.

However, he thought about it, the two statues here obviously had a lot to do with the Qingyang Sect, and the reason why he was able to come here was because of Song Zheng's guidance. In other words, this may have been built by the prince and the earthmaster, and if he destroyed the statue, he might be punished by the two. And this matter is also very strange, why did that barbarian old man stick to the entrance of this place?

Thinking of this, Tang Zhou began to carefully observe the surroundings, although these caves are naturally formed, but there are still many traces of artificial excavation, and even in many subtle places there are patterns and murals decoration, Tang Zhou found that the patterns and murals in this cave are very different from the Central Plains, it is the style of the barbarians in southern Xinjiang, and it is incompatible with statues and stone gates. So Tang Zhou had a bold guess that the original three statues here were actually statues of the gods of the witch cult, but without the knowledge of the barbarians outside, they were stolen and forcibly changed to Qingyang, Hongyang, and Baiyang. Later, for some unknown reason, the third statue symbolizing the red sun collapsed, and there was still some divine power left in it, and under the guidance of Song Zheng, he could get this part of the divine power. But no matter what, it has a lot to do with Song Zheng and the Earth Master.

At this moment, Tang Zhou found that there was actually an entrance not far away, and from the entrance, extremely subtle fluctuations of divine power faintly came out.

Tang Zhou is not a greedy person, but he is not a person who enters Baoshan empty-handed, he hesitates for a moment, and then looks inside his body again to ensure that the qilin blood in his body is completely suppressed, and then strides into this road.

......

On the other side, Tang Qingqiu, the second son of Tang, returned from Tangjiabao, and there was a woman with him. Although the woman wore a hat with a tulle hanging down, the identity of the woman could be judged by the slightly respectful attitude of the second son of Tang.

The head of the Tang family, Tang Wan, who is known as the "Thousand-armed Guanyin".

This was a bit unexpected by Li Xuandu, he didn't expect Mrs. Tang to greet them in person, he originally thought that Mrs. Tang would invite them into Tangjiabao, after all, Tangjiabao has many internal organs, even if there is a conflict, the Tang family will also occupy the advantage of geographical advantages.

After the two sides sat down separately in the main hall of the Tang family's mansion, Mrs. Tang took off the hat she was wearing, revealing a beautiful face, looking about thirty years old, pursing her lips lightly, very majestic.

Li Xuan was in no hurry to speak.

Li Feiyan was the first to speak: "Do I call you Mrs. Tang, or do I call you Wan'er like before?"

In terms of seniority, Li Feiyan is better than Tang Wan, but

Since the beginning of the year, there is not much difference between the two, so no matter the generation, they just made friends back then. Moreover, women do not refer to each other as rigidly as men do, preferring to use some nicknames, such as "Yanyan", "Stone", "Susu", "Guanguan" and so on.

When she was young, Li Feiyan called Tang Wan "Wan'er", not to mention that she was like a sister, but also a close friend in her boudoir.

Hearing this, Mrs. Tang's expression was in a trance for a moment, and then she smiled slightly, "Sister still calls 'Wan'er'." ”

Tang Qingqiu and Ji Shuye were a little surprised, they didn't know that Mrs. Tang still had such a side.

Not only Shuzhou, in fact, well-informed people on the rivers and lakes know the name of Mrs. Tang, and also know that the real head of the Tang family is Mrs. Tang, she was originally a son-in-law, and became a widow after three years of marriage, and for many years after that, Mrs. Tang has been the head of the Tang family, making the Tang family one of the most important local heroes in the world, although it is not comparable to Qin, Li and other behemoths, but it is not inferior to the Qian family and the Su family, which should not be underestimated. This shows Mrs. Tang's wrist.

In today's world, etiquette is strict, men are respected, and it is difficult for women to succeed. What a man can do with ten points of strength, a woman must use a twelve-point effort, especially when it comes to serving the public, which is especially difficult. Over the years, whether it is the Tang family or the non-Tang family, many people have died under her hands, in Shuzhou, this Mrs. Tang is notoriously ruthless, and she is even more majestic and indifferent on weekdays, even in front of her nephews, there is rarely warmth revealed.

Because of this, Tang Qingqiu and Ji Shuye, who knew Mrs. Tang, were surprised by Mrs. Tang's gentle attitude.

Li Feiyan smiled, "If life is only as it is when you first see it, why bother with the autumn wind and sad fan." Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable. Over the years, I have been trapped on the demon suppression platform, and after I came out, I found that things are not human, and the sisters of the past, some are dead, some are crazy, some are missing, and some have changed their temperaments. Wan'er, you can still recognize me as a sister like you did back then, I am very relieved. ”

Tang Wan smiled silently.

In fact, women like to hold together, but after the group, more small groups will be divided. It is not uncommon for a woman's two friends to be enemies of each other. Take Li Feiyan as an example, she is friendly with Mrs. Tang and Shi Wuyue, but when Shi Wuyue set up her own door, she was active in the area of Yuzhou Mansion and Shuangqing Mansion, and there was a conflict with the Tang family in the adjacent Shuzhong Mansion. At that time, Shi Wuyue was called "Blood Guanyin", and Mrs. Tang was called "Thousand-armed Guanyin", and the grievances between the two were also jokingly called "Bodhisattva fights". Originally, Li Feiyan had the opportunity to mediate and make peace between the two, but it was not impossible to become a non-acquaintance, but at that time, Li Feiyan was fighting with Li Daoxu, and he was still too busy to take care of himself, where could he take care of this. The final result was that Song Zheng came forward and forcibly suppressed Mrs. Tang. The grudge was also settled, so when Shi Wuyue knew that Li Feiyan was going to come to Shuzhou to see Tang Wan, she refused to join in the fun.

Seeing Mrs. Tang's noncommittal attitude, Li Feiyan's heart sank slightly, but his face was not obvious, and he continued: "You must already know my intention for today's visit. ”

Tang Wan nodded, "I know." ”

Li Feiyan asked, "I don't know what your attitude is?"
