Chronicles of Celestial Origins

On this day, Tang Ning was sitting in his room, practicing self-cultivation with his eyes closed. There was a knock on the door outside. He opened his eyes and stood up to open the room. A burly man outside looked up and said, "Fellow Taoist Tang, Senior Shi invites you to go to the meeting hall. "

"Okay." Tangning responded, her light flew up, and she arrived at the Alliance Meeting Hall.

The so-called meeting hall is actually just a slightly spacious stone house.

Inside, Shi Shou was sitting in the main seat, with several men standing below him, all of whom were in charge of each brigade. There were huge stone boxes displayed in the room.

Tang Ning bowed to his head and retreated to the crowd. As time passed, several more people entered.

"I called you here today to distribute rewards. The merit rewards submitted by the headquarters last time have been distributed. You all have a look. There is no problem. After the signature is postponed, you can receive the rewards."

Shi Shou waved his hand, and a stack of files on the desk fell into everyone's hands.

Tangning took it and took a look, but saw that his name was in the first row, and the first column was very eye-catching.

The list in his hand was a list of members of the fourth brigade. Most of them had records of killing one or two monks, or destroying one or two chariots, etc. His kills amounted to six people, and they were all Yuan Yuan. Infant level monk.

It turned out that the previous meritorious service in the seventh column was reproduced here, with a total of 320 points of meritorious service.

He originally only had 220 points of merit, but because he defeated the rebels in this battle, as the captain of the brigade, he was awarded an additional 100 points of merit. The supervisor and deputy captain of the brigade were each awarded 70 points of merit. Forty points, squad leader twenty points.

Ten points each for other personnel. This is a special reward for the coalition forces. The purpose is to encourage the coalition members to fight hard. Therefore, only meritorious deeds are recorded, and there is no actual spiritual stone reward. Only the monks who actually gained gains in this battle will have corresponding rewards. The spiritual stone reward.

The function of meritorious service is to set the threshold for job promotion. For some coalition monks who have made great efforts but have no actual achievements, they will have the opportunity to be promoted if they accumulate meritorious service.

In addition, in order to reward this victory, the coalition forces also gave the brigade a considerable amount of funds, a total of 50 million spiritual stones, which were recorded at the end of the file as the brigade's reward funds.

Everyone signed and stamped the file, returned it to Shi Shou, and received the spiritual stone rewards and funds from each team one after another.

At night, in the slightly dark room, two men sat down separately as guest and host, smiling and talking.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, I asked you to come here so late. Actually, we have something to discuss. Rewards for meritorious service have been given out to everyone in the headquarters. The coalition also awarded an additional fifty million souls as funds for the headquarters. In my opinion, this spiritual stone How to deal with it.”

After a few polite opening remarks, Tang Ning asked. The person sitting in the guest seat was none other than Inspector Wu Mi of the Fourth Brigade.

"What do you mean by fellow Taoist Tang?"

"Just distribute according to the old rules!"

"good."

The so-called old rules refer to the five-three-two distribution system, that is, the chief, supervisor, and deputy captain get 50%, of which the chief gets 20%, the supervisor and deputy captain get 30%, each supervisor gets 30%, and the remaining two percent goes to Captain of each subordinate team.

This distribution system has always been the rule of the coalition forces, and it was like this as early as the Qinghai War.

Nowadays, many stewards and subordinate captains of the Fourth Brigade have been killed, including the deputy captain Qi Libo. Naturally, their share was eaten by two people. This was all tacitly understood. Wu Mi did not raise any objection, and the old rules included Got this meaning.

After the two reached a consensus, they chatted for a while, casually divided the spirit stones and left.

The next day, Tang Ning summoned everyone to the meeting hall and distributed the funds according to the established allocation plan.

The atmosphere in Longhua City is tense and calm. Almost every day, gossip about the front line spreads throughout the coalition forces, troubling everyone's nerves. When news of unfavorable battle conditions on the front line comes, the atmosphere of the entire coalition forces is unusually solemn. Everyone There was no trace of a smile on his face.

In this atmosphere, more than a month passed. During this period, good news came frequently from the front line.

In the end, the war came to an end with the rebels finally voluntarily withdrawing from Longhua City.

The coalition forces suffered equally heavy casualties, so they did not rush into pursuit and stayed in Longhua City for repairs.

Several months later, the coalition forces finally arrived to supplement the frontline troops. The Fourth Brigade absorbed dozens of people and made up for the casualties.

…

At night, the stars are shining brightly, and the lights in the spacious and bright house shine like daytime.

Tangning crossed her hands and propped herself up on the stone table. She thought for a while, looked at the stone tablet in her hand, and threw down a few chips: "Thirty."

The man on the other side immediately threw in a few chips and turned over the stone card in his hand: "I'll follow, three tens, a pair of sevens."

Tangning expressionlessly put the stone tablet in her hand into the millstone. The man opposite smiled slightly and took away the chips on the table.

The millstone rotated slowly, a clattering sound was heard, and a new set of stone tablets was quickly placed in everyone's hands.

The six people present were all captains or supervisors of the various brigades under the Fourth Wing. After the rebels were defeated, all the ministries stayed in Longhua City to prevent the rebels from coming back.

This period of time can be regarded as the most peaceful and peaceful time in Longhua City. Apart from the occasional duty, there are no combat missions. As time goes by, the gambling den becomes prosperous. When there is nothing to do, Tang Ning will work with the 4th Regiment. Several people were invited to gamble and play cards together.

For monks at their level, the base bet is usually one high-grade spiritual stone, with an upper limit of fifty spiritual stones. It is common to win or lose ten to twenty million spiritual stones in one night.

Half a year later, various coalition forces returned to their respective units one after another, and the third column also returned to Qianyuan City to station itself.

…

Time flies, and a few years pass by in the blink of an eye.

In Xuantang City, in the Tianniu Mountains, in front of a huge light curtain, a ray of light shot down, and a man appeared. This person was Tang Ning.

Since the last time the rebels invaded Longhua City and retreated, both sides have maintained a relatively peaceful and stable state in recent years. No major wars have occurred. The internal management of the coalition has also been relaxed a lot. Therefore, he was able to take leave and return to Xuantang City. , and the purpose of his return this time was to attend a wedding banquet.

Not long after, a gap appeared in the light curtain. He flashed and entered the inner room. After registering the access information in the Guard Hall, he returned to his cave.

Although he has not been in the alliance for many years, this cave is still the same as before, no change compared to when he left.

As soon as he stepped inside, Gu Yuanya ran out, beaming with joy: "Master, when did you come back?"

Seeing the bright smile on her face, Tang Ning felt an indescribable feeling of peace, tranquility and warmth in her heart. She smiled slightly and said, "I just returned to the team yesterday."

"Master, will you break away from the Alliance Army this time when you come back?" The two came to the main room, and Gu Yuanya sat down in front of him, looking at him with a pair of bright eyes like stars and moons.

"Of course not. There has been no peace talks between the two sides, and the war has not completely ended. Looking at the current situation, the Alliance Army will continue to exist for a long time. How can it be possible to break away casually?"

"Then why did you come back suddenly?"

"Come back and see you."

Gu Yuanya smiled brightly: "Really?"

"False, my master came back mainly to attend the wedding banquet of Master Bai Jintang."

"Ah? Senior Bai's wedding banquet, will the master's wife come?"

Tangning shook her head: "Maybe!"

"Who is Senior Bai getting married to?"

"I heard that she is a girl from the Jiang family, named Jiang Wanrong."

"Oh! She's from the Jiang family! So, is this Jiang Wanrong from Jiang Yunming's faction or Jiang Chang's faction?"

"This Jiang family is not that Jiang family. Jiang Wanrong's grandfather was Jiang Yu, the famous master of Xuande Hall of Taixuan Zong."

"Isn't that still from the Jiang family?"

"You can say yes, you can say no, to be precise. Jiang Yu is a giant of the sect family."

"Senior Bai's wedding banquet will be held in Xuantang City?"

"No, he serves in the column, so naturally it was held in Yuanxian County."

"Then why did you return to Xuantang City?"

"Senior Brother Xu Mengyuan sent someone to Qianyuan City to inform me. I will go with him."

……………

The master and apprentice chatted for a long time, each describing their situation over the years. After Tangning was demoted, she was quickly sent to serve in the alliance army. Gu Yuanya's life in the alliance was not as comfortable as before.

When he was the manager of the direct brigade, although Gu Yuanya was recruiting monks for the brigade, she only served in the Guard Hall in name, and basically did not do any chores. She only practiced in the cave every day.

The situation has changed over the years. After Tang Ning lost power, she became invisible to everyone. She no longer had the privileges she had before. She was also involved in many affairs of the Guard Hall and worked hard. Fortunately, no one was special. Target her.
