Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Liangzhou, Hongnong County, where Taoism Sect's Liangwu Camp was stationed. In front of the majestic cave, Tang Ning fell down. Not long after, a man came out in a hurry and led him into the inner room.

In the spacious and bright hall, Guan Yue walked in from the outside and bowed to Tang Ning.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words and then sat down separately.

"Why did it take so long for Fellow Daoist Tang to return to Qingzhou this time? I was worried that Qingzhou would leave a general like you there and refuse to let you back!" Guan Yue asked with a smile on his face.

This time, Tang Ning first went to the Realm of the Dead, then returned to the Cangming Sea. After solving Zhang Shilin, she went to the Netherworld Sea again, and now she has returned. The time spent going back and forth far exceeded the time it took to go back and forth to Qingzhou.

He had long thought that Guan Yue would have this question and had already thought of an explanation.

"It was an unfortunate time to go to Qingzhou this time. My wife left on another mission, so I stayed for a while and visited an old friend. It wasn't until my wife came back that I retrieved the treasure from her. During this time, Liang Something big could happen to the state coalition."

"No, although the monsters in Hanoi County have been preparing to move and concentrate their forces on the borders of Hedong and Henan counties, they have not made any incursions so far."

"That's good. I've been worried about the large-scale invasion of Hedong and Henan counties by demons during this period. I'm afraid your department will punish me for leaving my post without permission and escaping from battle."

"Fellow Taoist Tang is joking. With your fame and prestige, who would dare to do this to you? Besides, you have made great contributions to our Liangzhou coalition forces."

"By the way, do you have any clues about Zhang Shilin during this period?"

"The headquarters has dispatched a large number of manpower, including the sect intelligence department, which is also fully investigating the matter. Unfortunately, so far, there are still no useful clues. Logically speaking, it should not be difficult to find a monk of Zhang Shilin's level, even if I can’t determine the specific location, but there will always be clues about his movements, but it’s like he disappeared from the world, leaving no trace behind. I think he has been hiding in a very secret place for all these years after killing Shi Qing.”

"It must be so. If I were him, I would definitely stay away from Liangzhou and find a place where the noble sect cannot influence, such as a remote place like Tiannan or Mubei, to rest and recover from injuries, and then use the stolen pills to attack the Mahayana realm. ”

"The only thing we can do now is to cast a wide net. As long as Zhang Shilin doesn't die, he will be exposed one day. By the way, fellow Taoist Tang, what treasures did you bring back to Qingzhou this time? Can you open my eyes?"

"It is a Xuantian treasure."

Tang Ning's mind moved, and a pagoda with colorful lights appeared in front of him. It was obtained from the ruins of the palace in the space crack outside Fengyu County. After sending Xin Yi and the others back to the world of the dead, he went there again Qingzhou took this treasure back from Liu Ruhan and gave her the elixir to attack Mahayana.

Guan Yu's eyes lit up, he looked up and down at the radiant pagoda, and said in his mouth: "Fellow Taoist Tang is indeed a person with great blessings. This treasure of Xuantian is not much in the entire Tianyuan world. Fellow Taoist is in the realm of integration." It’s really enviable for others to get one. Can this treasure really help find Zhang Shilin?”

"I am also a dead horse and a living doctor. Aren't there no clues? That's why I thought of using this treasure to try. I got this Xuantian Treasure in the ruins of the palace, and Zhang Shilin was there The body was taken away. The spiritual body generated in Xuantian Treasure can recognize all the people who have stayed in the ruins palace and can smell their breath, which may be helpful. "

After Tangning said that, she put the pagoda away to prevent it from getting entangled in this matter.

"Now that fellow Taoist Tang has retrieved this treasure, what are your next plans?"

"I decided to go to the place where Shi Qingzhi was killed first. Using this treasure, I might be able to find some clues that I hadn't noticed before."

"I hope you find something."

…

The two chatted for a long time, and Tang Ning said goodbye. The next day, he went non-stop to the place where Shi Qingzhi was killed, and put on a whole show. He was so impatient to go to Qingzhou to retrieve the treasure, and of course he also wanted to show his concern for the investigation of Zhang Shilin. Just be very attentive.

After another rigorous investigation, they finally returned to Liang Wuying station without any clues.

…

Qingzhou, Jinan County, Netherworld Headquarters in Qingzhou, in a dark room, Xu Wenruo pushed the door open and saluted the old man sitting inside: "Mr. Ren."

"You're here, sit down! What's the matter?"

Xu Wenruo took his seat as he was told: "Regarding the investigation of Tang Ning, new information has emerged. Let me report to you. According to the latest information, Tang Ning participated in the investigation of Zhang Shilin in Liangzhou. It is said that he is very concerned about this matter. , I plan to start investigating from this aspect.”

"Zhang Shilin? Who is he?"

"This person is a former disciple of the Cangming Sect. When he was serving as the steward of the Fifth Legion of the Qingzhou Alliance Army, he disappeared in a space crack outside Fengyu County. He was later confirmed dead by the Cangming Sect."

"Is there any connection between this person and Tangning?"

"Yes, according to our investigation, this man was killed while hunting for treasure with Tang Ning. But according to the information from Liangzhou, this Zhang Shilin came back to life, and his cultivation level has improved by leaps and bounds. He jumped to the late stage of integration and committed an important case in Liangzhou. He intercepted and killed the disciple of the Xuande Palace of Daodezong. Now the Daodezong is wanted all over the world to investigate him. A few years ago, they sent people to Qingzhou and Cangzhou. Ming Zong inquires about Zhang Shilin."

The old man frowned when he heard this: "Is this happening?"

Xu Wenruo said: "I also think this matter is very strange, so I take the liberty to bother you. Zhang Shilin and Tang Ning both participated in the exploration of space cracks outside Fengyu County. After that, Tang Ning disappeared and disappeared from the scene in just a few hundred years. From the early stage of integration to the early stage of Mahayana.”

"And Zhang Shilin also disappeared after exploring the space rift, and he appeared again and his cultivation level also advanced rapidly to the late integration stage."

"From this point of view, the situation of the two people is almost the same. However, Zhang Shilin was confirmed by the Cangming Sect that the life soul stone was extinguished, so the world thought that he died in the spatial rift, while Tangning walked out of the spatial rift openly. , then disappeared after returning to the coalition forces.”

"Tang Ning originally went to Liangzhou as a member of the Taoist Allied Forces to reinforce Liangzhou's fight against monsters. Now he has joined the Taoist Sect Liangwu Camp and participated in the operation to arrest Zhang Shilin. According to our information, he was very enthusiastic after joining the operation to arrest Zhang Shilin. ”

"So I infer that there must be some unknown secret between Zhang Shilin and him."

The old man nodded slowly: "It does seem strange, but this Zhang Shilin committed the crime in Liangzhou. I don't know where he is hiding now. Even the Daode Sect spent so much manpower and couldn't find it. What are you going to do? How to follow up the investigation?”

"I got news that Tang Ning returned to Qingzhou a few months ago, and probably met his wife Liu Ruhan at the Qingzhou Allied Forces Headquarters. He is now in Liangzhou and responsible for the investigation of Zhang Shilin, and he actually came all the way to Qingzhou in person. "There must be something important. It happens to be at this time. I suspect it is related to Zhang Shilin. If we can open a breakthrough from Liu Ruhan, I believe there will be major discoveries. I request that the surveillance investigation against Liu Ruhan be strengthened."

"Okay! I'll do as you say, but it must be kept strictly confidential."

"I know..."

After leaving the old man, Xu Wenruo returned to his house. After a while, there was a knock on the door outside. After the stone door opened, a thin, middle-aged man came in from the outside. He saluted Xu Wenruo and said, "Manager Xu, please call me." I’m here, what’s your order?”

"You have always been responsible for the intelligence of the Qingjiao Clan in Mubei, right! What's the latest news?"

"As far as I know, there hasn't been much movement in the Qingjiao clan recently. The latest news I received is that King Qingjiao has returned to the Qingjiao clan."

"The Qingjiao Clan sent people to secretly ambush Tang Ning many years ago. Now that Tang Ning has been promoted to the Mahayana realm, what is the current attitude of the Qingjiao Clan towards Tang Ning?"

"Since the assassination attempt by Yun Lian, a member of the Qingjiao tribe, we have not heard of the Qingjiao tribe doing this again. Especially now that Tang Ning has reached Mahayana, no one in the tribe will mention this matter. I think they should forget about it. thing."

"I have a secret mission for you."

"Please give your orders."

"I want you to reveal a piece of news to the Qingjiao tribe, but you can't let them know that this news was provided by us. Can you do it?"

"It shouldn't be difficult just to pass on the news. I have some intermediary channels that are close to the Qingjiao clan."

"It must be clean. This matter is the highest secret of the department. You must do it yourself. You must not reveal anything to anyone except me."

"I understand." (End of chapter)
