Chronicles of Celestial Origins

In Yuanxian County, Netherworld City, several rays of light shot down, and a group of people appeared. The leader of the group had a fair complexion and a conspicuous red birthmark between his eyebrows. He was Xu Wenruo.

"Fellow Taoists, here we are, the merchant ship is ready and can set off at any time." A woman came up to greet them and saluted.

"Thank you, let's go!" Xu Wenruo returned the salute with a smile, and the group of people filed into the inner room.

Not long after, a wind spirit ship filled with cargo slowly sailed out of the city and sped towards the northwest.

At night, the moon and stars were shining brightly, and the Wind Spirit Ship shuttled above the clouds and mist. While going, suddenly, the world fell into darkness, and a huge black light curtain emerged, seeming to divide the entire world into two.

The Wind Spirit Ship plunged into the black light curtain, only to hear a loud clicking sound, as if a giant beast was devouring food. The Wind Spirit Ship's defensive light curtain was quickly broken, and the entire bow was swallowed by the light curtain and turned into a In a flash, the Wind Spirit Ship plummeted down, and many of the escaping lights within it fled in all directions.

Only a little silver light bloomed in the air, and in an instant, huge silver ice crystals were solidified within a radius of dozens of miles. Dozens of people on the Wind Spirit ship were enveloped in silver ice crystals. Only a soft drink was heard, and the huge ice crystals exploded instantly, turning into Silver ice crystals the size of raindrops rustled down, filled with blood and minced meat.

………

In Netherworld City, in the meeting hall, everyone was sitting upright with solemn expressions.

A man strode in from outside, took his seat directly, and said, "I believe all fellow Taoists have heard that the Fengling ship escorting supplies from our headquarters was robbed yesterday. Just now, I had a preliminary understanding of the specific situation with fellow Taoists from the investigation team. ”

"It is now confirmed that none of the thirty-seven fellow Taoists on board survived, and all were killed."

"In addition to the thirty-four fellow Taoists responsible for escorting this time, there are also three fellow Taoists responsible for supervision from the headquarters. They originally took the Fengling Ship of the headquarters to Yuanxianli City, where they planned to take the Tianling Ship to the east. Lai County report."

"The investigation team discovered the crashed Fengling Ship in the Wanxia Valley area. The materials on it are still relatively intact. The ground is full of broken corpses and flesh. The investigation team is screening. It is not yet certain whether there are traces of the murderer's blood left. They are nearby. Search for traces and find witnesses and physical evidence.”

"The other party did not plunder the escort supplies, but instead killed all the people on the ship. The cruel methods were outrageous. Obviously, this was a vendetta specifically targeting our headquarters."

"All thirty-seven people in our headquarters were killed near Wanxia Valley. The scattered flesh and blood were no more than ten miles away from where the Wind Spirit Ship crashed. It is initially speculated that the opponent was at least a monk at the level of refining the void, and was able to destroy the Wind Spirit Ship in a very short time. Spirit Ship and kill everyone.”

"The top priority is to find out who the murderer is and what the purpose is behind it."

"Fellow Daoist Duan, from now on, you will be in charge of the investigation team and allocate capable personnel to be fully responsible for the investigation of this matter."

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you are in charge of intelligence work, cooperate with the investigation of this case, and find out the movements of the various forces in Yuanxian County that day."

"Fellow Taoist Ma, you are responsible for the internal investigation of this case. Find out how many people in this department know the time and route of this escort trip, including the investigation of all internal and external relationships of the thirty-seven fellow Taoists who were killed."

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, closely monitor the movements of the Canglang Sect. We have had many conflicts with them before. They are the biggest suspects in this incident. They may make further moves. We warn all departments to act with caution in the near future."

"Yes." Everyone responded.

…

Tang Ning stayed in Yuanxian County for a few days. After visiting the deputy captain of the column Zhong Jing and the leader of the column Bai Yuanting, Bai Jintang ordered someone to take him to visit several managers of the direct regiment, and then left here and returned to Qianyuan City. .

…

It was raining heavily in Donglai County. In the majestic Netherworld City, in front of the cave, a ray of light came out, and a man wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat appeared. He turned his hand and handed a talisman inside.

Soon, a burly man appeared from inside and looked at him with a frown: "Fellow Daoist Xu?"

The man lifted up his bamboo hat, revealing a fair face with prominent red fetal marks between his eyebrows. It was Xu Wenruo.

"It's really you." The burly man's pupils shrank, a little in disbelief: "This department has just received urgent information from your department, saying that you have been killed. We are all discussing this matter, but how come you are here safe and sound? "

Xu Wenruo smiled slightly: "Someone wanted to kill me and silence me, but I luckily escaped."

"Quiet? What do you mean?"

"Let's talk in detail when I meet Senior Yu!"

The two of them entered the inner room and came to the main room. There sat a thin old man with gray hair on his temples. Xu Wenruo stepped forward and saluted: "Senior Yu."

The old man said calmly: "No need to be polite, just sit down! A few days ago, I received urgent information from the headquarters in Yuanxian County, saying that a wind spirit ship under the headquarters was hijacked. You happened to be on that ship. I suspect that you have been arrested." You were killed. I checked the Life Soul Stone you left behind and found out that you were not killed. I thought you would come and get in touch with me as soon as possible, and you did come today. "

"How many people in this department know that I was not killed?"

"There are only four or five people, what's wrong?"

"Juniors suspect that the reason why the Fengling Ship was robbed and all the people on board were killed is that the murderer was one of our insiders, and the purpose was to kill people and silence them."

The old man frowned: "What evidence do you have?"

Xu Wenruo flipped his hands and took out a stack of files: "This is the evidence I obtained during my investigation. Please take a look at it."

The old man took the file and flipped through it for a while, his brows getting tighter and tighter: "You mean, he wants to kill people and silence them?"

"I know that this matter is important. During the investigation of the case, I have been staying in Netherworld City in Yuanxian County. Under heavy protection, he was unable to make a move. This is his only chance. I am escorting the witness and the supervisor of the investigation. On the Fengling ship, that’s why he took such pains to kill all the people who knew the inside story, so that he could sit back and relax.”

"How did you escape this unscathed?"

Xu Wenruo said: "I used the technique of golden cicada to escape from its shell. Ever since we mastered the secret and captured Jiang Wen, I guessed that the person behind it might take the risk and make a desperate move. Although he didn't know exactly which step we had found, he had grasped the secret of Jiang Wen." Wen, if you follow the clues, you will find him sooner or later."

"I used my avatar to lead Jiang Wen and fellow Taoist Xu Li who was in charge of the investigation to take the Fengling boat to Lishi as scheduled, and then transfer to the Tianling boat to Donglai County. The real body came quietly carrying all the investigation data files. , In this way, no matter which way he arrives successfully, he can submit the case and obtain authorization to conduct a formal investigation against him. "

"I didn't expect that he would be so ruthless. He set off on our way to the inner city. In order to cover up his purpose, he actually silenced the thirty-four fellow Taoists who were accompanying him."

"This is because of my poor thinking, which caused the death of thirty-four fellow Taoists. I am willing to take responsibility. I will formally apologize to my superiors later."

"But after this incident, I am more certain that the original direction of the investigation was correct. This person is behind Yuanxian County's large losses and major corruption cases."

"So I worked non-stop and came to report this to you."

The old man nodded slowly: "It's shocking! I didn't expect that within a few hundred years of our occupying Donglai County, such serious corruption and shortcomings would occur."

"I think this should be caused after cooperating with the Chamber of Commerce. Due to various cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce, we have obtained a lot of financial revenue, but all kinds of information in the process are not transparent, and there is too much room for manipulation to embezzle property. , which caused them to have evil thoughts. Once they made a mistake, they would regret it for eternity. They fell deeper and deeper, and it was too late to turn back. "

…

In the majestic and majestic meeting hall where the first column of the Fourth Army is stationed, several senior officials gathered together. Bai Yuanting sat in the main seat. The first person on the right below was deputy captain Zhong Jing. The first person on the left was empty. This was the column supervisor. Check the position.

Due to the need to fight against the rebels of the family in Donglai County, the column supervisor was sent to serve in the coalition army. Although he was not here, no one sat in this position, and it was always empty during every discussion.

In addition to this vacant position, there are obviously several more vacant positions in the hall, all of which are the positions of column managers participating in the coalition forces.

At this moment, there were only six people sitting in the hall.

Vice-captain Zhong Jing was eloquent, Bai Yuanting occasionally interjected a few words, several stewards nodded, or remained silent, and sometimes expressed some opinions, and the proceedings were carried out in an orderly manner.

"The Directly Affiliated Wing submitted a personnel appointment for the supervisory position of the Third Brigade under it. Bai Jintang, the inspector of the Directly Affiliated Wing, recommended Tang Ning, a disciple of the Fifth Wing, to take up this position. The decision of the Directly Affiliated Wing has now been passed." Zhong Jing His tone was calm, without any fluctuation, and he read to the file.

"Tang Ning's resume, Daoding was selected from Qinghai into the sect in 1935. In 1092, Daoding was promoted to captain of the fifth squadron of the first brigade of the fifth alliance. In 1223, Daoding was promoted to the direct brigade of the alliance. Later, he went out without reporting and was removed from his post by the 5th Regiment for many years and joined the Qingzhou Alliance Army. He is currently the captain of the 4th Brigade of the 4th Regiment of the 7th Column of the 1st Army of the Donglai County Alliance. "

"Juniors, if you have no other questions, let us now vote on the promotion of Tang Ning, a disciple of the 5th Wing, to the position of supervisor of the 3rd Brigade of the Direct Wing." After Bai Yuanting said this, he took the lead in raising his right arm.

Zhong Jing also raised his right arm immediately. Seeing this, several other people raised their arms to signal, but only a frosty middle-aged woman did not move.

"Five votes in favor, the resolution is passed, Junior Brother Zhong, let's talk about the next matter." Bai Yuanting said.

Zhong Jing stamped the bottom of the file, turned the page of the file, and continued to read: "The Third Wing submitted a case file, and one of its members..."
