Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning left the sect and headed south, crossing high mountains and rivers along the way. After flying for three full days, he arrived at the border of Jiangdong. Jiangdong is located in the eastern part of the Chu Kingdom and has 42 counties under its jurisdiction. The people are rich, the land is fertile, and the products are abundant. rich.

The Intelligence Section has a total of four intelligence stations in Jiangdong. The one that submitted the Mo Sect information file this time is the northern intelligence station in Jiangdong. It is responsible for monitoring information from the eleven nearby counties. Jingyun County is one of the counties it monitors. one.

Fuyun Temple is located in the Gadfly Mountain. There are more than ten Taoist priests in the temple, and there are several acres of vegetable fields on both sides. Although the incense is not abundant, it is enough to satisfy oneself. Occasionally, there are homes of wealthy businessmen, and the children of eunuchs come here to seek fortunes to visit the Taoism.

At that time, the sun was setting in the west, and an arrogant and unreasonable man came into the temple. As soon as he stepped into the temple, he made big words and wanted to see the owner of the temple.

Can you see the master of the temple just by saying you can see him? How many rich men and women are still not allowed to meet me! The deacon's disciple dismissed him with a few words, but unexpectedly the man refused to let him go and barged straight in. No one could stop him for a moment.

"What's going on?" Han Lingming was meditating indoors, and when he heard the noise outside, he opened his eyes and said.

The sound came out clearly and fell into everyone's ears.

"Master, there is a crazy person who broke in." The disciple outside answered loudly. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a man breaking in. The man was wearing dark green clothes and had a handsome face. He was none other than Downing.

He went out of the sect this time to spy on the disciples of the Demon Sect, so he did not wear Qianyi Sect clothes and changed his clothes. He knew that Yu Xiaoping from the Jiangdongbei Intelligence Station had always been hiding in this temple, so he came straight here.

Unexpectedly, he was blocked by these Taoists, and he didn't bother to pay attention. The Taoists tried their best to stop him, but they couldn't get close to him.

Han Lingming was unhappy when he saw him rushing in so rashly, and wanted to teach him a lesson. He pointed his finger at him, and a strong wind hit him.

Tangning didn't hide it, her spiritual power burst out of her body and pressed towards him.

Han Lingming felt that the air around him was stagnant, and massive spiritual energy was squeezing towards him from all directions, squeezing his whole body so hard that he could not move at all, and his body bones creaked.

He was so frightened that he couldn't care about that many things for a while. The spiritual power in his body was spinning wildly to resist the squeeze of external spiritual power. Just when he could no longer bear it, the huge oppressive spiritual power disappeared in vain, and his body suddenly Soft and fell down.

Han Lingming gasped for air, large beads of sweat continued to fall from his forehead, and his chest and back were completely soaked.

Everyone saw that in just a moment, the master of the temple seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, and his whole body collapsed to the ground, breathing rapidly.

They knew a thing or two about the master's abilities. Seeing him like this, they didn't dare to take action, so they all stood aside.

"You guys get out." Han Lingming stood up and panted like an ox. The other party withdrew his spiritual power, indicating that he had no ill intentions.

Everyone hurriedly exited, and Han Lingming stepped forward to bow and salute: "I offended my senior just now. I hope you can forgive me. I don't know what you have to say to me when you come to watch."

Tang Ning said: "Those who don't know are not guilty. Ask Yu Xiao to come out and see me."

He had just restrained his own spiritual power fluctuations, so Han Lingming did not detect the spiritual power fluctuations around his body, so he thought he was an ordinary mortal, so he dared to attack him. Otherwise, with his fifth-level Qi refining cultivation, he would not dare to attack a foundation-building monk.

Han Lingming was shocked when he heard Yu Xiao's name mentioned directly. His Taoist temple was originally the contact point of the intelligence station. Yu Xiao was the director of the intelligence station. This person knew so much in detail that he didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend. He didn't dare to ask more questions. He could only say: "Envoy Yu Xian is not in the temple. He went out early today."

"You go find him, I'll wait for him here."

The contact station had its own sect communication codes, and Tang Ning also knew the code terms, but as a cultivator, he did not need to argue with such a hired casual cultivator about the code words, and he had done it first. Although he did not know that he was innocent, it still made him feel guilty. do not like.

"Yes, please wait a moment, senior. I will go find the Yuxian envoy right now." Han Lingming responded. He left the Taoist temple, picked up his magic weapon and headed northwest. When he came to a courtyard, he coughed twice.

Inside the house, a man and a woman were entangled together.

"It seems like someone is coming."

"Leave him."

The man finished dressing and walked out of the yard. He was a little unhappy when he saw Han Lingming waiting outside the yard. How could this man be so ignorant and bother him at this time: "What's the matter?"

"Envoy Yu Xian, a senior foundation builder has come to our Taoist temple and has indicated that he wants to see you. He is waiting at the Taoist temple now." Han Lingming said.

Yu Xiao frowned: "Foundation-building monk? Who is he?"

"The man was wearing ordinary clothes. He didn't say where he was from, and his subordinates didn't dare to ask any more questions."

Yu Xiao scolded: "Why didn't you speak up about such an important matter earlier?"

Han Lingming remained silent, thinking that you were in high spirits, so he would not be angry if he disturbed you. The salaries and rewards of the casual cultivators they recruited depended entirely on the decision of their superiors, and they would never dare to offend their immediate boss.

The two of them returned to the Taoist temple with their magic weapons. Yu Xiao pushed the door open and saw a handsome man standing with his hands behind his hands, looking at the Taoist scenery outside the window. He stepped forward and saluted: "I don't know which master uncle from this department is driving, disciple. Yu Xiaoyou is far away."

Along the way, he had inquired clearly from Han Lingming. This man knew the location of the Taoist temple and could directly call him by name. He had no malicious intentions. In addition, he had secretly reported the information about the Demon Sect a few days ago, and he had already expected the Ministry of Finance. Someone will be sent to handle it.

He was originally a disciple of the fifth team of the Intelligence Section. He was transferred to the Northeast Jiangdong Intelligence Station as the director more than ten years ago. Several foundation-building monks in the department recognized him, but this one had never been masked before, so he was expected to be a new foundation-building disciple. .

Tang Ning turned around, flipped her left hand, and threw a wooden sign at him. Yu Xiao took the wooden sign and examined it with his spiritual sense. Knowing its details, he held up the wooden sign with both hands and said, "It turns out to be Uncle Tang."

Naturally, he knew Tang Ning's name. The secret letters and instructions sent back by Corey from the Ministry of Defense were all signed by Tang Ning, but he never covered his face.

Tang Ning moved her hand and took the wooden sign into her hand: "I already know the file you submitted. Let's talk about the current situation! Are those Demon Sect monks still in Jingyun County?"

"Uncle Master, I learned a piece of information a few days ago that a fire broke out in a small village in Jingyun County late at night, and all the villagers were burned to death. The local government went to investigate and it was revealed that it was not a human act."

"The disciples found it strange and sent people to investigate. They found that the corpses of these villagers were not killed in the fire, but were killed by unknown sharp weapons. The wounds were neat and uniform. Dozens of heads were scattered on the ground. There was no trace of blood at the scene. It was not like that. What the green forest thieves did looks like it was caused by a monk’s magic weapon.”

"The disciple then increased the monitoring and investigation efforts in Jingyun County, and indeed found a group of foreign monks. The disciple sent a loose cultivator from the intelligence station to follow these people, but this person disappeared."

"The disciple thought that the appearance of this group of people in Jingyun County at this time might be related to the Demon Sect, so he reported it to the sect. Since the casual cultivator sent by the disciple disappeared, the disciple has lost their location."

The intelligence station monitors several counties. In addition to fixed-point eavesdropping on copper pipes, each intelligence station employee has his own intelligence network and has a large number of informants and agents in the area he is responsible for.

These informants are not practicing monks, but local people from all walks of life, including prostitutes in brothels, concubines of merchant shopkeepers, servants of housekeepers of high-ranking officials, and gangsters from all walks of life on the street.

These people are divided into three, six or nine levels, and are managed layer by layer, covering the counties under surveillance like a net.

"Exactly how many monks are there in the group of monks you mentioned?"

"There must be at least three or four people. They don't move together, but since my subordinate disappeared, this group of people has lost traces at the same time. Uncle Master, one of them has some contacts with Shen Lin, a disciple of the local Shen family. Disciple I found out that the two of them went to Zuihua Tower to have fun together nine days ago," Yu Xiao said.

"The Shen family? Who are they? A local cultivating family?"

"Yes, the Shen family belongs to the Jiangdong family, and the head of the family, Shen Wenjing, is also a foundation-building monk."

"Do you have portraits of those people?"

"Yes, after the disciple reported to the sect, I thought the department would send someone to investigate, so I always carry it with me." Yu Xiao took out a few portraits from his storage bag and handed them to Tang Ning.

"Has your intelligence site monitored the Shen family?"

Yu Xiao wondered: "Uncle, the Shen family is quite influential in Jiangdong, and Shen Wenjing has a close relationship with Master Zhu Liao, the head of Jiangdong. As a foundation-building monk, if he finds out that we are monitoring his family , I’m afraid it won’t look good if it makes a fuss.”

Tang Ning didn't say much. The disciples below have their own rules for dealing with things. It would be inappropriate to interfere: "In your opinion, have these monks left the Jiangdong boundary at this moment?"

"I don't dare to speak nonsense about this matter, but I think they won't leave easily if they don't achieve their goal. It's possible that they are hiding."

Tangning flipped her right hand and took out a piece of paper, threw it to Yu Xiao and said, "This is the authorization document from Senior Brother Lu. You should contact several other intelligence stations in Jiangdong and ask them to increase their surveillance efforts and adopt large-scale surveillance methods, focusing on investigating these few people." The unidentified monk will report to me as soon as there is any situation."

"Yes, disciple, go and tell them now." Yu Xiao retreated in response.

Tangning thought about it for a while and left the room. She saw Han Lingming waiting not far away and waved to him.

Han Lingming stepped forward quickly: "Senior, what are your instructions?"

"Do you know where Jiangdong's master, Senior Brother Zhu, is doing his Qing Dynasty?"

"Junior knows."

"Okay, you lead the way, I'm going to visit Senior Brother Zhu."

"Yes." Han Lingming responded, took up the magic weapon and flew into the air. After walking for about an hour, Tang Ning asked, "How far is it?"

"Senior Zhu is in Liyang County, a thousand miles away from here. With my junior's cultivation of escape skills, it will take about two days to get there."

Tang Ning frowned slightly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Tell me the approximate location of Liyang County and go back by yourself!"
