Qiu Qiu

Thirteen years after Yang Jian (known to some as Erlang Shen) imprisoned his sister beneath a mountain, the once powerful god now scrapes by as a penniless bounty hunter. When a mysterious woman hires him for a new job, Yang Jian soon finds himself chasing down a familiar figure. He must stop Chenxiang, his long-lost nephew, who is in search of the magical lotus lantern that will free his mother, even if it will bring catastrophe. As Yang Jian confronts the actions of his past, he must face a host of dangerous vigilantes seeking the same treasure with the power to alter the balance of their worlds.

Mientras intenta liberar a su hermana de las garras de Fahai, Xiao Qing acaba en una ciudad distópica y conoce a un misterioso hombre que no recuerda su pasado.

La historia se centra en el Rey Mono, el adorado personaje de la novela, que aparece aquí con una actitud más sombría, casi melancólica, de la habitual. Atraviesa una crisis moral que le obliga a luchar contra sus demonios interiores.
