Chronicles of Celestial Origins

In the majestic palace of Donglai County, several men were sitting at the desks on both sides.

Hearty laughter could be heard from time to time in the hall. While several people were chatting happily, three more people came in from outside.

"I've seen Senior Sun, Senior Jiang, and Senior Mei." Several people stood up quickly and saluted one after another.

The three of them were Sun Rongxuan, Jiang Yixin, and Mei Yulin, the top commanders of the Donglai County coalition forces.

"Now the main force of the rebels entrenched in Donglai County has been wiped out, leaving only some stragglers who are on the run. They can't make any waves. The war in Donglai County is over. The soldiers have disarmed and returned to their fields. We, the people, should also enjoy it." Three The people walked to the main seat and sat side by side. Sun Rongxuan said with a smile.

A burst of light laughter burst out from the hall.

"As the invitation says, I invite all Taoist friends to come here today to pursue merit and reward. You can never leave in times of trouble and resolutely resist the rebels. Many Taoist friends even bring their families with you. Come and withdraw with us to Tianquan County."

"For example, the Sima clan in Yuanxian County, the Fengxing clan in Yuguan County, the Shang clan in Zuozong County, etc., their loyalty is obvious to everyone."

"In the way of military training, merit must be rewarded, and deeds must be punished. As for the rebellious and die-hard elements, such as the Xingyue Sect, the Liu family and many other forces, our headquarters has completely eradicated them. The sect's mountain gate has been uprooted, and the spiritual family has been destroyed."

"As for everyone here, it is indispensable for this department to reward you based on your merits. Now that all the coalition forces have returned to their respective sects, the next focus will be on restoring the past prosperity of this county, and the jurisdiction left by those aristocratic families and sects that were eliminated. Land and resource industries cannot be left vacant for too long, and I invite you to come here today to discuss how to divide them.”

"I have discussed a preliminary differentiation plan with Daoyou Jiang and Daoyou Mei before. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them."

Sun Rongxuan clapped his hands, and a disciple pulled down the red cloth on the stone wall behind everyone, revealing a giant atlas, which was the topographic map of Donglai County. It had bright colors and many large and small marks. .

Another disciple distributed a booklet to everyone.

"The territories and resource industries divided by each person are all on this map, and they are also written in the booklet. Let's take a look first."

Everyone turned over the thin books in their hands, and the hall was silent for a while, except for the rustling sound of flipping through books.

For a long time, a man below frowned and said: "Why is it that the divided jurisdiction of our sect only has three cities and thirty-two resources in Yuguan County, and the resources in these jurisdictions are not very good, but the Gan family can be allocated Five cities and forty-eight resources in Yunlan County?”

"Wait a minute, Fellow Daoist Deng, let's not mention that I got a lot. The three seniors and juniors also want to ask why Fengxing Sect, Sima Mansion, and Shang Mansion were allocated so many resources, but I didn't even get half of them. Come on, junior, please be brave and ask the three seniors to give me a reasonable explanation."

"Yes! Our aristocratic families and sects in Tianquan and Yunlan counties fully supported the coalition forces. It was because of our support that the coalition forces were defeated one after another. They established a foothold in Tianquan and Yunlan and wiped out Donglai. County rebels, we should be the first to succeed besides the Taixuan Sect, the Jiang family and the Netherworld Sea Organization, so why are we not as good as these sects and aristocratic families who have surrendered?"

"Fellow Daoist Fu, please speak with more respect. What do you mean by a surrendering sect? When did our government submit to the rebels? Since the Liu family's rebellion, our government has been unswervingly supporting the coalition forces until the rebel army overwhelmed them. In Zuozong County, our government also abandoned its family and property and resolutely followed the coalition forces to retreat south. How many properties and resources were wasted by the rebels. Now, a little more division is just a reasonable compensation for our losses. "

"What reasonable compensation? Which one of you here has not suffered any loss? Which one has not contributed to the coalition forces? In terms of contribution to the coalition forces, we are only much more than you."

"The noble clan lives in Tianquan. In addition to sending troops to assist the coalition forces, the resources and territories it belongs to are still in the hands of the noble clan. However, we are dragging our families and leaving our homes and careers to follow the coalition forces. Fellow Daoist Shi, please ask yourself, if we are rebels After capturing Tianquan County, can your lord abandon his family and career to follow the coalition forces like us? "

"Why not? What does Fellow Taoist Sima mean by this? Could it be that we are accusing our sect of having an affair with the rebels?"

………

In the hall, everyone was already shouting and quickly divided into two groups, blaming each other.

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment." Jiang Yixin waved his hand, and everyone became quiet.

“Our preliminary planning plan follows the following principles.”

"First, compare the number of troops sent by each sect when the troops were originally recruited."

"Second, compare the contributions of each sect on the battlefield."

"Third, compare the number of casualties among each sect."

"Like the Sima clan in Yuanxian County, the Fengxing clan in Yuguan County, and the Shang clan in Zuozong County, they all abandoned their families and businesses and dragged their families and all the monks with them southward. Among the coalition forces, they contributed the largest proportion of troops, and they were on the battlefield The highest number of casualties were among them, so the divided jurisdictions were more numerous than those of other sects and families in Yunlan and Tianquan counties.”

"There are also some objective factors. In areas occupied by rebels such as Yuanxian, Yuguan, and Zuozong, there are a large number of sects and aristocratic families who have rebelled. After the war, most of the aristocratic families and sects were eliminated, so there was no A lot of resources have been released.”

"Yunlan and Tianquan counties have always been occupied by the coalition forces and serve as the base camp for the coalition's counterattack. There are no sects or aristocratic families in these two counties, and there are no redundant resources and territorial divisions."

"The sects and aristocratic families in Yunlan and Tianquan counties also have vast disparities in the number of territories under their jurisdiction. The reason lies in the proportion of troops sent, battlefield contributions, and number of casualties mentioned above."

Just as Jiang Yixin finished speaking, a man below retorted: "Senior Jiang, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. I really don't agree with what my senior said."

"To repel the rebels, the aristocratic families and sects in this county and Tianquan County made great efforts. In terms of merit, they are definitely not inferior to those sects and aristocratic families who followed the army south."

"Senior himself said just now that this county and Tianquan are the headquarters of the coalition forces. Now when we are talking about merit and rewards, the direct descendants of the headquarters are not as good as outsiders."

"Furthermore, there are no rebellious sects or families in this county and Tianquan County. Doesn't this prove our loyalty to the coalition forces? Is loyalty wrong and being rebellious is right?"

Another person said: "Juniors also have doubts. Everyone contributed to the suppression of the rebels and everyone deserves credit. Since the coalition forces are to be divided according to merit, they should come up with unified standards to accurately calculate the troop dispatch, financial expenditure and casualties of each family. The data is compared, otherwise how can one convince people with just one sentence?”

"This junior also believes that this should be the case. Most of the sects and aristocratic families who followed the army south are in the rear. They are all in Tianquan County, waiting for dispatch at any time. Why should they count on sending troops and we should hold on to them."

Everyone spoke fiercely until their faces turned red.

………

In Xuantang City, Tianniu Mountains, inside the cave, a pale-faced man pushed open the door and entered, bowed to Tang Ning who was sitting cross-legged inside and said, "Disciple pays homage to my uncle."

"You came."

"Yes, the disciple rushed over immediately after receiving the notification from the alliance."

"I told you something before, do you still remember it?"

The person who came was Mo Fan. Tangning had already informed Bai Jintang that he would be transferred from the direct-affiliated alliance. It was only today that he received the order to be transferred from the direct-affiliated alliance to Xuantang City.

Now, he has three disciples under his command. Except for Mo Fan, the other two were selected from within the alliance. One of them is named Deng Guan. He is a late-stage Jindan cultivator and was originally a disciple of the Guard Hall.

One person was named Wan Tongyuan, who was in the middle stage of Jindan cultivation and was originally a disciple of the brigade.

Both of them have relatively clean identities, without any background. They are from grassroots backgrounds in Taixuan Sect, and their qualifications are pretty good.

Mo Fan hesitated and said, "Are you referring to asking your disciples to find a monk with a horoscope of Renyin, Bingwu, Xinmao, and Yichou?"

"It's hard for you to remember it so clearly."

"This disciple is incompetent and has failed in your trust."

"I can't blame you. During the war, everything was in chaos. With your cultivation, it's good to be able to save your life. Have you told anyone about this?"

"No, after you told the disciple about this, the disciple secretly inquired and searched for a while, but unfortunately nothing was gained. Later, the Mirror Moon Sect led the Xuanmen to rebel, and the mountain range of the column was breached. The disciple managed to escape with his life, and then joined the coalition army. The matter was gradually put down without telling anyone.”

"I don't need you for the things I'm doing here for the time being. Your only task is to complete this matter and find a monk who fits the horoscope. It's best to have Nascent Soul cultivation and good spiritual qualifications. Don't look for one from the headquarters. "It's better to be a rogue cultivator or a remnant of the rebels. These spirit stones will be used as your funds." Tang Ning turned his hand over and handed him a storage bag.

"I don't dare. It's my duty to serve my uncle. Master, don't worry. I will do my best to find him."

"Take it! This is not an easy thing to accomplish. You need to run around and look around. To me, this is a big deal. A few million spirit stones are nothing. You have found me and I have something else. Great reward.”

"Thank you, uncle." Mo Fan took the storage bag.

"Go! If you have any news, inform me immediately, and remember to keep it confidential."

"Yes, disciple, take your leave." Mo Fan responded and left.

When it comes to finding a monk who matches her horoscope, Tangning not only asked Mo Fan, but also Chen Xiaofan earlier, asking them both to investigate secretly at the same time. As a disciple of the sect, it would be easier for Mo Fan to find information and files than Chen Xiaofan.

As a recruiting monk, Chen Xiaofan has more dealings with casual cultivators and has contact with people from all three religions. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The purpose of looking for someone is naturally to practice the second-level divine movement skills. Now that the war in Donglai County has ended, he must seize the time to find someone with the same fate to seize the body and practice his second Nascent Soul.

His Divine Movement Technique has stayed at the third level for too long. The last time he fought against the rebels, he suffered from a lack of spiritual consciousness.

Even if he reaches the fifth level of Fugue Skills, he may not be weaker than that monk.

After this battle, he made up his mind to practice the second level of divine movement.
