Chronicles of Celestial Origins

In the spacious and bright living room, Sima Nianzu came in from the outside. The man surnamed Luo quickly stood up and saluted: "Disciple pays homage to Master."

"You said there was something important? What was it?"

"Just now, Uncle Tang's disciple Gu Yuanya and the monk Chen Xiaofan recruited by the headquarters brought Uncle Tang and a strange man back from abroad. For some reason, Uncle Tang and the strange man were both seriously injured and fell into a coma. Now the two of them are sent back. Uncle Tang is recuperating in the cave. This disciple feels that the matter is serious, so he came to report to you."

Sima Nianzu frowned slightly: "Junior Brother Tang was seriously injured?"

"Yes, I'm still unconscious until now."

"When did this happen?"

"just now."

"Why was he seriously injured?"

"My disciples asked, and the two of them said they didn't know anything about it."

"Where are Gu Yuanya and Chen Xiaofan?"

"They are all taking care of him in Uncle Tang's cave."

"Call them here."

"Yes." The man left in response. After a while, he led Gu Yuanya and Chen Xiaofan in from the outside. The two of them saluted Sima Nianzu who was sitting on the main seat.

"Tell me! Junior Brother Tang was seriously injured. What happened?" Sima Nianzu asked calmly.

Gu Yuanya then repeated the agreed words.

"I heard that you brought back someone? Who is he?"

"The master brought it back and ordered us to bring it back to the alliance."

"So, Junior Brother Tang was still conscious when he saw you, and he fell unconscious later?"

"Yes, when our master came to the place where we met, his face was as white as a sheet of paper and he looked very weak. He didn't pass out until we brought him back."

"How many days has Junior Brother Tang been in coma?"

"Five or six days."

"Junior Brother Tang didn't reveal anything about what he was going to do in advance?"

"No."

"Take me to see how Junior Brother Tang is injured."

The two had no choice but to take him to the mansion. Looking at Tang Ning who was unconscious, Sima Nianzu stretched out his hand and carefully explored his body. Then he retracted his hand and said expressionlessly: "Where is the man you brought back? ?Take me to see it.”

The two took him to another room, and Sima Nianzu also explored his body. When his spiritual consciousness entered his Niwan Palace and found the phantom, the corners of his eyes trembled slightly. one time.

"You guys take good care of Junior Brother Tang. I'll take this guy away first." Sima Nianzu grabbed the golden soup.

"Senior Sima." Seeing that Sima Nianzu was about to take Jintang away, Gu Yuanya couldn't help but stop him.

At this time, Chen Xiaofan gently grabbed her arm and signaled with his eyes.

Sima Nianzu turned his head and glanced at her.

Gu Yuanya also knew that he could not stop him from taking away Jintang, so he said: "Thank you for visiting my master, I will see you off."

"No need, Junior Brother Tang's injury is strange, and there may be a conspiracy against our headquarters behind it. Don't leave the alliance in the near future. I will summon you at any time."

"Senior Sima, this person is an old acquaintance of our master. Our master ordered us to bring him back to the regiment."

"When Junior Brother Tang wakes up, let him come to me." Sima Nianzu said and left straight away with the golden soup in hand.

"Senior Brother Chen, what should we do now? If Sima Nianzu arrests Jintang, will he find out something that will be detrimental to the master?" Gu Yuanya asked anxiously as he watched him go away.

Chen Xiaofan's eyes flickered: "Junior Sister Gu, don't worry. Jintang's identity is just a monk under the Ji family. Even if Senior Sima finds out, it won't be a big deal. Uncle Tang has a strong background in Taixuan Sect and is the deputy captain of the regiment. Sima Nianzu doesn't have full knowledge." Make sure you don’t attack Uncle Tang casually.”

"Besides, there is no deep grudge between the two. I don't expect Senior Sima to say that he is unfavorable to Master Tang. He took Jintang away just to find out what happened."

"With our abilities, there is absolutely no way to stop Senior Sima from doing anything. Master Tang will have to figure everything out after he wakes up."

…

Sima Nianzu returned to the cave, called a disciple, pointed at the unconscious Jintang and asked: "Do you know this person?"

"The disciples don't know."

"Go to Huajian Pavilion and check this person's identity. Don't make a big deal about it. Investigate it secretly."

"Yes." The disciple responded and left.

…

Tang Ning woke up slowly and saw Gu Yuanya's face.

"Master, you finally woke up, you scared me to death." Seeing him wake up, Gu Yuanya showed joy on her face.

Tang Ning felt that his head was very heavy and his whole body was limp. He really didn't expect that this 'divine splitting technique' was so overbearing. After using it, he felt like his head was about to explode. If he had known this, he would not have been in that kind of wilderness anyway. He split the Nascent Soul and took away his body, which almost killed him.

"Have I been unconscious for a long time?"

"It's almost ten days. Master, what happened to you? Senior Brother Chen and I were guarding outside that day, but you seemed to have been seriously injured when you went out."

"It's nothing. I was trying out a new magical power and something went wrong. By the way, where is Jintang? Have you brought him back?"

"He was taken away by Sima Nianzu."

Tangning frowned: "What's going on?"

Gu Yuanya recounted the whole story: "Sima Nianzu insists on taking him away, and we can't stop him."

"You go ahead! Let me rest for a while."

Tang Ning waved her hand and asked Gu Yuanya to step back.

His original plan was to perform the spirit-splitting consciousness technique at a remote location in the outside world and seize the golden soup. After everything was completed, he would bring him back conscious, and then send someone to say hello to the Ji family, saying that the golden soup had something to do with him, and take him with him. If he returns to his side to train him, he can at most let Jintang come forward to prove it after his body was taken away, and then randomly arrange a position for him in the alliance, so that he can remain unnoticed.

Although he was the deputy captain of the regiment, he had to report when entering and exiting the regiment station. If he forcibly kidnapped someone and came back, Jintang would make a fuss in the guard hall, which would be somewhat troublesome. Even though he was in a coma and couldn't cause trouble, bringing in a comatose person from outside would make things suspicious.

It would be an extra step, so he decided to split the second Nascent Soul and seize its body first. Unexpectedly, the power of this technique was so overbearing, and he couldn't even hold it back with such a powerful self-healing power. It was a miscalculation.

After all, the wilderness was not a safe place. At that time, he was extremely weak, so for safety reasons, he decided to return to the alliance.

This has led to the current situation.

At this point, he had no other choice but to take one step at a time.

Fortunately, Jintang was originally a remnant of the rebels, so it was barely okay to arrest him due to personal grudges.

With his current status and connections, a golden elixir monk with no background should not be able to make any waves.

…

After refining and absorbing the spiritual power of the elixir, he felt a little better, so he got up and left the room, and came to Sima Nianzu's cave.

A disciple led him into the main room, where Sima Nianzu was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

"Senior Brother Sima." Tang Ning bowed.

"Junior Brother Tang is here, please sit down!"

Tangning sat opposite him.

"I heard that you were injured in a fight. What happened?" Before he could speak, Sima Nianzu asked first.

"When I was practicing a skill, something went wrong. My consciousness was damaged and I fell into coma." Tang Ning said truthfully without mercy.

"I was also worried that someone ambushed you. You don't look good and your injuries have not fully recovered. During the recent period, just take good care of your injuries and stop worrying about things in the alliance."

"Yes. Senior Brother Sima, I heard from the bad disciple that the monk I brought back was taken away by you. I wonder where he is now?"

"I thought you were ambushed by someone. This person might know the inside story, so I brought him here for questioning. He is now in my house."

"This man's surname is Jin and his name is Tang. He was originally a rebellious monk under the Luo family. After the Luo family was expelled, he joined the Ji family. This man has some old grudges with me, so I captured him." Tang Ning knew that Sima Since Nianzu intervened, Jintang's identity must not be concealed, so he took the initiative to confess.

After hearing this, Sima Nianzu said nothing and nodded: "Since he is a monk of the Ji family, if you arrest him, there won't be any problems with the Ji family!"

"Strictly speaking, this person is a rebel. So be it! I'll go to Ji's house in a few days to resolve the matter so as not to cause further trouble to the headquarters. Is this person awake now?"

"not yet."

"I want to take him away, please make it easier for me."

"How are you going to solve it?"

"I won't kill him. I keep him for other purposes. I will settle everything and won't leave any trouble for the headquarters and the sect."

"I'll take you there!" Sima Nianzu stood up and took him to another room, where Jintang lay quietly, like a dead body.

Tang Ning picked it up, said goodbye, and left.

Seeing him leaving, Sima Nianzu frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about something.

…

In the majestic and majestic hall of Huajian Pavilion, Xianyuan Mountain, Tang Ning exchanged greetings with an old man with pale temples, and the guest and host took their seats.

"To be honest, Fellow Daoist Ji, Tang came here this time to tell me something."

"What happened to fellow Taoist Tang?"

"There is a Jindan monk named Jintang in your mansion. He was originally a monk of the Luo family. Later, the Luo family was expelled and he went to your mansion again. This person has some connections with me, so I took him away. I hope fellow Taoist people will give him I'm a fool, don't pursue this matter."

The old man said calmly: "I don't know what the relationship between my friend and him is. Can you tell me?"

"Since Fellow Daoist Ji asked, I had to tell the truth. This person had an old grudge with me and he was originally a rebel, so I arrested him. If Fellow Daoist Ji feels that something is wrong and wants to go to the column to file a complaint against Tang, I will listen to it." It's your convenience. If you would be generous and not pursue the matter, Tang Ning would be grateful." Tang Ning handed over a storage bag.

"Don't dare. Jintang offended fellow Taoist and deserved his death. Kuang was originally a rebel, and fellow Taoist arresting him was just a routine matter. How could this old man be so indifferent to right from wrong?"

"In that case, I would like to thank you Daoist Fellow Ji. I have something else to do, so I can't stay long. I'll take my leave."

"I'm sorry to see you off soon."
