Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The three of them returned to Fufeng County along the original road.

At night, Tang Ning stood alone in the room, with his hands behind his hands, staring at the bright moon outside the window in a daze. After a while, he turned around and sat at the desk, holding his cheek with his hand and thinking.

He was a little undecided on how to make a decision. The space passage he found in the Cangming Sea was completely beyond his expectation.

There are three options before him now.

First, go alone to the space crack to capture Zhang Shilin. While Zhang Shilin is still recovering from his injuries and has not been able to break through to the Mahayana realm, he can easily capture him.

But the risk is also very high. If the space passage is the lair of the strong men who have returned from the abandoned land, he may not be able to return if he goes in this time.

Second, leak this news to Tao Te Sect and organize more people to get involved.

This kind of safety is guaranteed, but the affairs of the Abandoned Land will inevitably be exposed to the public, which is inconsistent with his original intention. The reason why he actively asked to participate in the investigation of Zhang Shilin was to capture him secretly and learn about the people who returned from the Abandoned Land. Trends and plans.

If everyone knows about it, it will be meaningless. It is better to pretend that you don't know anything, so why bother to take a trip through this muddy water.

Third, he stood still and stood outside the crack in the space, waiting for Zhang Shilin to go out and then capture him.

If you do this, the uncertainty will be too great. First of all, you can't stay outside the Nether Sea for a long time and wait for him to go out. Who knows whether the inside of the space channel is Zhang Shilin's hiding place. Even if it is, what if he stays inside for a few days? A hundred years, do you want to keep it for hundreds of years?

After much thought, Tangning still couldn't make up her mind.

These three options were either too risky or too slow, and none of them suited him.

He wanted to find a way that was both safe and feasible, preferably someone who could keep the secret and compete with the strength of those who had returned from the ruins.

But where can I find such a person? The only one who agrees to the conditions now is Nangong Muxue. She knows some of the secrets of the abandoned land and has the cultivation level of the Mahayana stage.

Thinking of this, Tangning had a flash of inspiration. By the way, the people who had returned from the abandoned land of the dead world were the most suitable candidates. How could she have forgotten them.

Although the incarnation of the Death God has now returned to the Fairyland, they do not dare to have any different intentions. After all, the secret of going to the Fairyland is in their own hands, and they will still reach the jurisdiction of the Death God after going to the Fairyland in the future.

Unless they are determined to be enemies with the god of death, they cannot easily touch their designated messenger of the god.

What's more, they don't know the fact that the God of Death has returned to the fairy world.

In addition to being able to rest assured that they can keep secrets, using them to deal with Zhang Shilin also has another advantage. They are both returnees from the ruins and can talk to each other.

If the space passage is a gathering place for those who have returned from the abandoned land in the Tianyuan Realm, and I rush in alone, it will inevitably cause a group of people to attack. In order to keep the secret, the group of people who have returned from the abandoned land will definitely kill people and silence them, even if I It is useless to say that they have mastered the secret of flying to the fairyland. They can get the information they want through soul searching.

Even if they use the name of the God of Death, they may not be able to suppress it, because they have never seen the incarnation of the God of Death.

Being accompanied by Xin Yi, Yuan Jian and others can at least make them believe that he is indeed the messenger of the god of death. In this way, he will have a bargaining chip and will not have to fight to the death as soon as they meet.

………

Hongnong County, the Daode Sect's headquarters in Liangzhou. In a dark room, Guan Yu was sitting in the room, practicing with his eyes closed. There was a knock on the door outside. He opened his eyes. After the stone door opened, a man led Zhang. Tsuen comes in from the outside.

"Disciple pays homage to Master." Zhang Quan bowed and saluted.

"You're back, where have you been?"

"The disciple followed Senior Tang Ning to the Human World Chamber of Commerce branch in Fufeng County. First, he found the organizers of the Secret Market and asked about some information. Then Senior Tang personally visited Senior Xu Feng of the Human World Chamber of Commerce. After that, we went Check the places where junior brother Shi Qingzhi and missing person Lu Tao of the Human World Chamber of Commerce were killed.”

"Are you accompanying Tangning throughout the entire operation?"

"Yes, the disciple has been with Senior Tang the whole time. Even when Senior Tang was talking to Senior Xu, the disciple was standing guard outside the main hall."

"Did you discover anything during this trip?"

"No, I am sure that I will get nothing from this trip. Every word that Senior Tang said, every place that I went to, and every person that I met during this trip has been recorded by the disciple and will be compiled into a file later."

"Okay, you will still be responsible for assisting Tang Ning from now on. During this period, you will keep a close eye on his every move. No matter how long he wants to investigate, you will always be with him. This person is so concerned about Zhang Shilin. There must be something complicated behind it. , there must be some unknown secrets here.”

"Disciple understands."

"Go ahead!"

"Disciple, take your leave." Zhang Quan left in response. As soon as he left, a man came into the room again and saluted, "Master, uncle, Senior Tang Ning is here."

Guan Yu nodded, with a thoughtful look on his face. Without saying a word, the man quietly retreated.

In the spacious and bright hall, Tangning sat inside for a while. She heard footsteps, the heavy stone door opened, and Guan Yu walked in with a smile on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Tang, thank you for your hard work. Did you gain anything from this trip? Did you find any clues?"

"No, I went to the Human World Chamber of Commerce in Fufeng County and asked several city organizers, and met with fellow Taoist Xu Feng, but found nothing. Then I conducted an on-site inspection of the places where Shi Qingzhi and Lu Tao were killed. Now I have no clue at all. We can only rely on the intelligence and discoveries of your disciples.”

"Fellow Taoist Tang, there is no need to be discouraged. As long as Zhang Shilin is still alive, sooner or later he will be exposed. A monk of this level is very attractive, unless he hides in a dark place and never goes out for the rest of his life. Our sect has sent a large number of disciples to conduct a wide network to collect them. information clues.”

"Fellow Daoist Guan, I'm here today to discuss something with you. I plan to go to Qingzhou to retrieve the treasure I obtained from the ruined palace," Tangning said.

He is now a member of the Xuanmen Allied Forces supporting Liangzhou. Naturally, he cannot go to the world of the dead without saying hello. He must find a reasonable reason to leave Liangzhou.

Otherwise, disappearing for no reason will definitely arouse suspicion from all parties and cause another trouble.

Guan Yu frowned slightly: "Didn't Fellow Daoist Tang send someone there before?"

"Yes, I sent a disciple to get it, but his cultivation level is low and he needs to take a merchant ship. This trip takes a long time. I have no thoughts about the case. Rather than wait for him to spend several years to get it, Come get the treasure, why don't I go back and get it as soon as possible. Anyway, I have nothing to do at the moment, so I might as well go for a run."

"I'm afraid there's something wrong with this! The war on the front line in Liangzhou is already tense. The demons in Hanoi County are ready to move. I don't know when they will launch an attack on Hedong and Henan counties. It is an exception to allow fellow Taoist Tang to participate in the investigation of this case. Liangzhou Allied Forces Many people internally complained about this, and the former Senior Brother Wei also wrote a letter, asking our department to assist fellow Taoist Tang to complete the investigation of this case as soon as possible so that he can return to the Liangzhou Alliance Army."

"It was precisely in order to detect Zhang Shilin as soon as possible that I decided to go to Qingzhou to collect the treasure in person to save time. I am alone and can come and go freely. A year is more than enough for a round trip. If the disciple takes a merchant ship to go back and forth, at least It’ll take four or five years. Wouldn’t that delay things even more?”

"What if the monsters in Hanoi County are out in force during this year? Although Tang Daoyou is no longer on the front line of Hedong County, he is still in Liangzhou, and his headquarters is not far from Hedong County. Once the monsters take action, they will be able to get it soon. The news can be sent to Hedong County in time. If you leave Liangzhou, if things change, you may not be able to contact fellow Taoist Tang! "

"Fellow Daoist Guan thinks too highly of Tang. There are many Tangs in the Liangzhou coalition forces, but there are not many Tangs. If even Daoist Wei and the others can't withstand the demon attack, what's the use of just one Tang? What's more, this time It only takes Tang a year to travel back and forth to Qingzhou, which is not a long time.”

Guan Yue hesitated and said: "That's what I said, but now is the wartime stage after all. In my opinion, fellow Taoist Tang will still stay here, and we are not in a hurry to arrest Zhang Shilin. I don't know where Zhang Shilin has escaped, even if If we retrieve the treasure earlier, we will most likely not be able to locate Zhang Shilin’s hiding place. How about we investigate the clues about Zhang Shilin while waiting for the disciples of your sect to retrieve the treasure.”

Tang Ning couldn't help but feel a little displeased in her heart. Although she looked nice, he tried to resist her, as if she was a prisoner.

"Fellow Daoist Guan, I hope your department can understand the fact that Tang came to Liangzhou to assist Liangzhou colleagues in fighting against the demons. He is not under your command, and he is not here to be a slave or prisoner. I am going where Freedom, only because I respect your sect, I came here to say hello to fellow Taoist monks, and I hope your sect can respect my wishes. "

Seeing that his face had turned cold, Guan Yue knew that he was dissatisfied, and quickly comforted him: "Don't get me wrong, fellow Taoist Tang, this department is definitely not restricting your freedom. It's just that Senior Brother Wei has repeatedly warned you to keep in touch with fellow Taoist at any time. So be it! I How about sending someone to talk to Senior Brother Wei about this and waiting for his reply?"

"That's not necessary. Since Tang Mou has to go through layers of approval before even returning to Qingzhou, let's simply ask our sect to send another person to Liangzhou. I'd better go back to Qingzhou to take up a post. At least there I don't need to be treated like a prisoner. Come on. I will report to the sect and ask the sect to send a senior brother to Liangzhou." Tang Ning said coldly, then stood up and left.

"Hey! Don't be angry, Fellow Daoist Tang! Let's discuss it again." Guan Yue quickly stood up to stop him. Seeing his stern expression, she had to give way: "Since Fellow Daoist Tang insists on going to Qingzhou, then okay! I hope Fellow Daoist Tang will go and come back soon. I Let’s talk to Senior Brother Wei here, he should be understanding.”

"Okay, then it's up to Fellow Daoist Guan to inform Fellow Daoist Wei!" Tang Ning left the cave without looking back. (End of chapter)
