Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Several people looked at Zhang Yan one after another.

"Look at what I'm doing, Junior Brother Tang, I still can't thank you for your kindness." Zhang Yan said

"Thank you, Uncle Tang." Several people said, and they all picked up their wine glasses and drank down the wine in one gulp.

"how is the taste?"

"Okay." One disciple said

Tang Ning laughed: "Senior Brother Zhang, look, you said it tastes bad, but they taste very delicious. This is why oranges grown in Huainan are called tangerines, and those grown in the north of Huaibei are called tangerines. The same jar of wine tastes bitter in your mouth, but it tastes bitter in your mouth. It tastes sweet in my mouth, but it’s a pity that you are not good at it, and you have lost one of the great joys in life. This jar of wine seems not to be a blessing. Let me taste it, Senior Brother Zhang. Qianli Horse belongs to Bole. Come on, I will give this jar of wine to you. !”

"Thank you, Uncle Tang." The disciple said happily after taking the wine.

Zhang Yan also smiled and said: "Junior Brother Tang, this comparison is inappropriate. I am at best a summer insect that cannot be compared with ice. I have never tasted wine, so how can I know the benefits of wine?"

"Senior Brother Zhang, do you know that there are some monks in this world who never practice Qi, and their cultivation speed is no less than that of the proud disciples of major sects. Do you know what they rely on?"

"Never practice Qi cultivation? This is impossible!" Zhang Yan said in disbelief

"It's this spiritual wine that I rely on." Tang Ning immediately explained the cultivation method that Dou Wencai had heard.

Zhang Yan was stunned and amazed after hearing this.

Not long after the two chatted, Fangyuan arrived with Dou Chong under his guard. Tang Ning had placed a spiritual restraint on Dou Chong's body, and his whole body's spiritual power was blocked. When he saw Zhang Yan and others, he knew that someone from the Qian Yizong Supervisory Department had arrived. With a pop, he knelt down.

Zhang Yan asked: "Dou Chong, according to your confession, you secretly stole information from the intelligence station. What excuse do you have?"

"No excuse."

"Okay, tell me one by one, how you stole the intelligence information from his station, and why you surrendered."

"At first I was..." Dou Chong said happily

Zhang Yan occasionally asked questions, and he responded fluently. After questioning for about half an hour, Zhang Yan waved his hand and Fangyuan escorted him out.

"Junior brother Tang, according to what Dou Chong said, we have to go to Qinchuan Eastern Station to verify."

Tangning nodded and headed to Qinchuan Eastern Station with him.

Tangning had already greeted Luo Yuan and was already prepared on how to deal with him.

After Zhang Yan investigated and interrogated, nothing was found, and the two returned to the wooden house.

"Junior brother Tang, this Dou Chong is not a disciple of our sect, but a subordinate of your intelligence department. How do you think we should deal with it?" Zhang Yan asked.

Before he left the sect, the deacon of the Supervision Department told him that the handling plan was mainly based on the opinions of the Intelligence Division. They only needed to investigate and interrogate, and they would not bother with the rest.

Tang Ning said: "This Dou is no match for a mere handyman at the intelligence station. He dares to steal the secrets of our intelligence station and should be killed. However, if he has surrendered and repented sincerely, he will be given a lighter sentence. I intend to imprison him for thirty years." Since he is not a disciple of the sect, he does not need to be escorted to the sect. He can only be handed over to the intelligence station for detention here. "

Zhang Yan nodded and said, "It's up to you."

The two discussed briefly and decided on Dou Chong's crime. They immediately went to the intelligence station and announced the decision. Dou Chong was temporarily taken into a cell and was guarded by intelligence station personnel on a rotating basis.

Zhang Yan and others also returned to Qianyi Sect.

In the next few days, the Dou family frequently invited Tang Ning to have banquets, during which they presented him with gifts and begged him to hand over Dou Chong to them.

Tang Ning always shied away or ignored him. She only promised to lift the restraint on him privately and refused to let go of sending him back to the Dou family.

Not only did the Dou family not give up, but they sent more and more spirit stones. After going back and forth, Tang Ning finally relented and waited until the limelight relaxed a little before finding a reason to send Dou Chong back.

………

Looking outside the Xichuan Attic, a man with sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes came down with a sword. He glanced at the three shining golden characters on the attic, flicked his long sleeves, and walked in.

As soon as he entered the hall, a person came up to him: "This is your first time here, fellow Taoist! It seems that I have never seen fellow Taoist before."

"Yes, I come from Bianjing. I heard people say that Wangxichuan is one of the most interesting places in Qinchuan, so I came here to see it."

"Fellow Taoist, we have come to the right place. We have three unique places here, and everyone knows about Qinchuan."

"Oh? I don't know what the three skills are."

"First, it's wine. The wine we have here is a secret spiritual wine, and Qinchuan is unique. To tell you the truth, many monks have traveled thousands of miles to come to Qinchuan just for this sip of spiritual wine."

"Second, it's the music. Everyone in the attic clapped and praised the music they played."

"Thirdly, they are people. The escort girls in the attic are all monks who have shed alchemy. They specialize in the art of acacia in the room, and they have the effect of gathering yin and replenishing yang."

The man laughed and clapped his hands and said, "Okay, these three skills are exactly what I love in my life."

"We have room No. 3 of Tiandiren in our attic. I wonder which room you need?"

"Oh? What can you say?"

"This is a herringbone room! It's just an ordinary room, a place for people to relax. The wine is the royal wine of the world. The musicians and the accompanying girls are ordinary women in the world. It only requires ten spiritual stones."

"The name of the place! The room is a separate secret room. The musician and the accompanying girl are both female cultivators. The musician specializes in instrumental music and uses magical instruments to help, and his sound is like the sound of nature. The accompanying girls are also female cultivators who practice the art of amalgamation in the room. , but the wine is just average and requires fifty spirit stones."

"What a Tianzihao! The room is an independent courtyard, and the wine is a secret spiritual wine. The female cultivators who accompany them all practice special secrets and have become the body of the furnace. If you have fun with them, you can use their spiritual power to replenish yourself. You need a One hundred and fifty spiritual stones.”

"Then give me a room of Tianzi size." The man said

"Okay, fellow Taoist, please come with me."

The two walked along a passage: "I don't know your name? Are you a cultivator from Chu?"

"I am Xiao Mobai, a casual cultivator who lives all over the world. I don't know your name."

"My name is Dou Ming, and I am the manager here. There are not many casual cultivators as generous as Xiao Daoyou. I thought you were a disciple of Qianyi Sect?"

"I see many cultivators coming and going from your pavilion. How come they are all disciples of Qianyi Sect?"

"That's not entirely true. Most of the casual cultivators from Qinchuan come here for fun. But most of those who are willing to spend hundreds of spirit stones for fun are talented and powerful cultivators, either disciples of the sect or sons of some family. Occasionally, people from the Nether Valley Market will come here for fun."

While talking, they came to a courtyard with pavilions and towers, green pines and cypresses in spring, elks walking, and cranes flying.

"Xiao Daoyou, this is the Tianzi No. 1 room." Dou Ming said.

Xiao Mobai took out a storage bag and handed him the spirit stone.

"Please wait for a moment, fellow Taoist. The spiritual wine and musicians will be ready soon. I will go and ask the maid to come." The man took the spiritual stone and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute. I heard that there is a female cultivator named Su Jiaoruo here who is good at playing the zither. I wonder if I can ask her to play a song first."

"Of course."

Xiao Mobai nodded and pushed open the door and walked in. Not long after, a maid came with a tray, put it in front of him, bowed and left.

There were some delicacies on the tray, as well as a white jade bottle. He picked up the jade pot and poured a glass of wine. He drank it all in one gulp. When he was about to fill the second cup, he saw a haggard woman holding a white zither walked in, bowed to him, and then played with her bare hands.

After playing a song, the lingering sound lingered.

"Are you Su Jiaoruo?"

"I am."

"Do you recognize this thing?" Xiao Mobai flipped his right hand and took out a silver hairpin.

"This is it." Su Jiaoruo's eyes focused, and the whole person was radiant.

"Speak softly." Xiao Mobai made a gesture to silence her and came to her side and whispered, "I was entrusted by my venerable grandmother to come and look for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the door, and Dou Ming led three beautiful women into the hall.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, these women are all our carefully cultivated female cultivators. See which one you like." Dou Ming said.

Xiao Mobai looked up and saw that these three women were all at the first or second level of Qi Refining. Although they were beautiful, their faces were a little pale, and their eyes were dull, and they seemed to be listless.

He waved his hand and said, "Don't bother these people. I wonder if I can let Miss Su accompany me for a few drinks?"

Dou Ming looked at him in surprise. A casual cultivator spent hundreds of spirit stones just to listen to music and drink wine? Which of the cultivators who came to Qinchuan for the reputation of Lu Ding Lingjiu was not like wolves and tigers, coming for the reputation of Lu Ding Lingjiu. This person refused Lu Ding's service and really surprised him.

This building was built by the ancestor of the Dou family. At that time, the ancestor traveled inland Qingzhou and saw the wealth cultivation methods of those young masters of aristocratic families. He suddenly had an idea and built this building after returning to Xingang. The inspiration came from the method of wealth cultivation, using spiritual wine as food and furnace and cauldron as cultivation.

He found a kind of spiritual wine secret recipe and furnace and cauldron cultivation secret method in the inland Qingzhou, and forced those female cultivators to practice this method. With the addition of spiritual wine, he soon became famous in Qinchuan. As the saying goes, things are precious because they are rare. Many people came from afar to taste the taste of spiritual wine and furnace and cauldron. The Dou family made a fortune every day with this building.

"Okay, but Miss Su is a musician and has never learned the secret art."

"No problem."

"In that case, Su Jiaoruo, you can accompany Xiao Daoyou to have fun!" After Dou Yuan said this, he led the three women out of the hall.

"Who is the young master? How did you know grandma?" Su Jiaoruo asked when Dou Yuan and others went away.

"I am just a wandering cultivator. Grandma gave me a bowl of water and she asked me to find you."

Su Jiaoruo looked sad: "Is grandma okay?"

"Not very well. She is old and has blurred vision. She doesn't have much time left. Since you disappeared, she has been looking for you day and night. When she heard that you were captured in the west, she waited in the west of the city every day, leaving in the morning and returning in the evening. Whenever there was a guest from the west, she would ask questions non-stop."

Su Jiaoruo took out a storage bag and handed it to Xiao Mobai, choking with tears and saying: "Please tell grandma that I am fine and don't worry. This is my savings over the years, all of which are spiritual stones. Although they are not in your eyes, I beg you to exchange some gold and silver for grandma so that she can spend her old age in peace. I can't repay your kindness in this life, but I will repay you in the next life."
