Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Two days later, the gang sent people down.

"Is it him?"

When Tang Ning came to Xi Tiao's room, she saw a tall man in black with a stern expression looking at him. It was the man named Qi who sent him here in the first place.

Qin Luo nodded: "He has only been here for seven or eight months, but his internal energy has already condensed in his body. I thought something was fishy, ​​so I reported it to the gang leader."

"Follow me." The man stood up and walked out. Tangning followed Qin Luo and asked softly, "Coach Qin, where are you going?"

"The gang wants to see you."

"I want to take Ruru with me."

"What." Qin Luo was stunned for a moment, then reacted, a little funny: "Go see the gang leader first, and we will talk about other things tomorrow."

Tangning stopped and shook her head: "No."

Qin Luo looked at him and looked like he would rather die than give in: "Okay then! Hurry up."

Tang Ning hurriedly ran to the tent. Seeing him running away quickly, the man named Qi stopped and looked at Qin Luo.

"Going to pick up his little wife."

"ah?"

………

Liu Ruhan was sitting at the desk, sorting out the account books, when Tang Ning suddenly opened the door, walked straight to her side, took her little hand and ran back.

"What are you doing?" Mr. Min next to him was startled.

"Something happened." Tangning walked out the door before she could say anything else.

"Ruru, we have to leave here. A person came just now. He was the one who sent us here last time. He wants to take us out now." Tangning said while holding her little hand and running.

Liu Ruhan kept nodding.

When the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain, Qin Luo and the man named Qi were already waiting there. When they saw him arriving, they got on their horses. Qin Luo pulled Tang Ning and Liu Ruhan onto the horses.

The horse's hooves were like the wind. After running for an hour or two, they arrived at the caravan. After passing through the gate, the man named Qi casually summoned a maid and glanced at Liu Ruhan: "Take this little girl to have a good rest."

Liu Ruhan held Tang Ning tightly with her little hand and refused to leave.

Tang Ning whispered: "You take a rest first, I will be there soon."

Liu Ruhan reluctantly followed the maid.

The three of them entered the main hall. Tangning stood behind them and looked up. Five people were sitting in the hall, and the person sitting on the main seat was Cui Yilin, the leader of Cui whom he had met once before.

"Master, Master, we've brought them here." The man surnamed Qi saluted everyone.

"Yes." Cui Yilin nodded, stood up and walked to Tang Ning, looked him up and down, and said with a smile, "Sure enough, he has very good bones. No wonder he was able to condense his internal energy in such a short time."

"Although the bones are good, the ability to condense the internal strength within a few months is too sensational. I'm afraid it's not that simple." said a person behind Cui Yilin.

"Everyone has his own chance in martial arts. Are there not many strange people and strange things in the world? No matter what, this is his own chance." Another person said

"Who is your surname and where is your home?" Cui Yilin had a gentle smile on his face.

"My name is Tang Ning, and my home is Tangliu Village, Anning County."

"Why come to the caravan?"

"My parents were killed by thieves and came here to beg for help. Uncle Wang Dehu brought me here."

"Oh, I remembered. Brother Wang entrusted me with my two children one day. I didn't expect it to be you. In that case, Tangning, are you willing to become my teacher?"

Tangning was slightly stunned and quickly responded, "Yes."

"Congratulations, senior brother, for recruiting another prodigy."

"This boy is very qualified. If he can get the guidance of his senior brother, he will definitely become a great master in the future. He may be another great master."

Several people behind him said.

Cui Yilin was also very happy. He waved his sleeves and returned to the main seat: "Come here, serve tea."

"Bring the tea to the gang leader and call him master." Qin Luo reminded in a low voice from the side.

Tang Ning took the tea from a maid, walked forward, knelt on her knees, and offered the tea: "Master."

Cui Yilin picked up the tea and took a sip and put it down: "Tangning, since you have become my disciple, you will be my disciple Cui Yilin from now on. You must remember that when we walk in the world, we should be chivalrous. When we see injustice on the road, we will draw our swords." Help each other and never rely on the strong to bully the weak.”

"yes."

"Today is just an initiation ceremony. In ten days, I will gather the brothers in the gang and formally become my disciples. This is your senior brother Qi Yunfei. You can ask him for advice when I am not around."

"Senior Brother Qi." Tangning turned around and saluted him.

"Yunfei, I need to take more care of your junior brother in the future."

"Yes, master."

"These are all your master uncles. This is master uncle Mo Qianshan, this is master master Yin Xian, this is master uncle Dong Hai, and this is master uncle Hou Yutang."

Tangning saluted one by one.

"By the way, I remember that Brother Wang brought two children here that day, and a little girl came with you. How is she now?"

"She is my wife and she came with me."

Cui Yilin was stunned for a moment and laughed.

Several people next to him also had smiles on their faces.

"You are like this at a young age, and you will definitely be a famous figure in the future. Senior brother, this is different from you." Mo Qianshan said with a smile.

"Okay, you go down and rest first!" Cui Yilin waved his hand to ask him to leave.

"Luo'er, you don't have to worry about those children! Let's go to Shanghe County first. There is a group of fine horses from the Kingdom of Wu. You go and receive them. Among them is a pair of white jade snow horses, which King Qinghe is interested in. "Don't make any mistakes," Yin Zhengxian said.

"Yes, master."

………………

Tang Ning went out and asked a maid to find Liu Ruhan's location, then she ran straight away.

"Ruru, do you know why they are looking for me?" Tangning said eagerly as soon as she entered the room.

Liu Ruhan shook her head, looking at his happy look, she couldn't help but smile on her face.

"The gang leader Cui Yilin has agreed to accept me as his disciple. In ten days, the whole gang will be officially announced."

"In the future, not only will I be able to learn better martial arts, but my monthly salary will also be increased a lot."

"After the salary increase, we can save more money and buy a big house in the future, so we no longer have to live in someone else's place."

Liu Ruhan looked at him with big eyes and made gestures with her fingers.

"Well, we should live here first now."

"What are you talking about in the house? Forget it, let's buy it in a few days."

"However, Cheng Qian doesn't know we're here yet! Uncle Min also doesn't know you're here. It's time to go back and tell them, especially Uncle Min and Aunt Min, let's go back some time. Let’s go buy something and see them.”

Tang Ning chatted with her, and after lunch, Qi Yunfei came over.

"Senior Brother Qi." Tangning opened the door and saw him, and bowed respectfully.

Qi Yunfei nodded and walked in: "Junior brother Tang, in ten days you will officially join the master's sect. At that time, not only the big and small brothers from the caravan, but also some of the master's friends in the world will come. The caravan is From a distinguished family, etiquette is indispensable. Do you know the ceremony of apprenticeship?"

Tangning shook her head: "Please give me some advice, senior brother."

Qi Yunfei took out a volume of book from his arms and handed it to Tang Ning: "This is the Book of Rites. You must read it thoroughly, and first read the entire section on the Apprenticeship Ceremony to avoid making a joke in front of the guests."

"yes."

"And this." Qi Yunfei took out a wooden sign: "You are not an official disciple of the caravan yet. You are not allowed to come in and out of the gang at will. If someone stops you, just hand the wooden sign to him. You'd better not go out these days. , the master may summon you at any time.”

Tangning took the wooden sign and said, "I've written it down. Thank you, senior brother."

"If anything happens, just come to Xiyuan to find me."

……………

In the next few days, Tang Ning would only read the book of etiquette given to him by Qi Yunfei in his room every day, and occasionally take Liu Ruhan around the gang.

On the day of the apprenticeship, it was really full of guests and very lively.

Heroes from all walks of life in Chu State came to congratulate him one after another. Almost all the foreign disciples in the caravan rushed back to congratulate him, as well as some squires and dignitaries who were friends with him. Dozens of banquet tables were laid out.

Tang Ning was naturally the central figure in this feast. Fortunately, she had read the Book of Rites well in the past few days, so she behaved appropriately, but there was one thing that was rather embarrassing.

It's just that he completely forgot what happened that day.

He did forget, he completely forgot, he only remembered that he was very busy.

I can't remember who I met or what I said.

The reason is simple, he drank too much.

Most of Cui Yilin's friends were heroes in the world, and there were many alcoholics. Naturally, Tang Ning couldn't refuse to drink on such occasions, and Cui Yilin didn't stop him, so he drank one cup after another...

He never drank.

When I woke up, my head felt very heavy. I looked around and made sure that I was in my room. Liu Ruhan was busy with her back to him.

"Ruru." Tangning called out.

Liu Ruhan turned around and saw that he was awake and quickly brought the pastry and fruit plate to him, poured a cup of tea and handed it to his mouth.

Tang Ning tried to get up, but found that her body was numb and soft, and she couldn't exert any strength.

"Ruru, how long have I been sleeping? It must have been a day!"

Liu Ruhan stretched out three fingers.

"Ah? Three days? So long?" Tangning was shocked. She never expected that she had slept for three whole days and three nights.

Liu Ruhan nodded.

"Hey!" Tangning sighed in annoyance, "I will never drink so much again."
