Chronicles of Celestial Origins

I saw several children lying around in the room, without a single piece of clothing covering their bodies, and they were all unconscious.

A hunky-backed man had his back turned to him.

Xie Zhuang has seen many battles in his life, but this is the first time he has encountered one.

Seeing this, Xie Zhuang was horrified, and the hair all over his body stood on end. He felt that his liver and gallbladder were about to burst, and he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

The man noticed it and turned around suddenly, only to see that his eyes were red, and he no longer looked like an ordinary person at all, like a beast wearing human skin.

The man yelled and rushed towards him.

Xie Zhuang retreated violently and threw out a flying sword, directly piercing the man's chest.

The man didn't have a trace of spiritual power on his body and was obviously not a monk. Xie Zhuang's flying sword was used and a huge hole was opened in his chest and abdomen. The flying sword passed through his chest and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the man's figure only shook a little, then rushed out to him. Xie Zhuang was unprepared. The two of them were four or five feet apart. The man was very fast. He blinked in front of him, opened his mouth with a big mouth, and bit him. Down.

ah! Xie Zhuang screamed, and a piece of flesh and blood was bitten off his neck.

The white light of the flying sword flashed, and the man's head fell off and his body was separated. His body swayed, and the headless body leaned over to pick up the head and put it on his neck again.

Seeing this, Xie Zhuang couldn't help but feel so horrified that his liver and gallbladder were split apart. His head had fallen off, but he could still move. What kind of monster was this?

He didn't dare to stop any longer, turned around and was about to leave, when a man quietly appeared behind him.

……………

Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the stone house, with the little white snake enjoying herself in the wine jar, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

He opened his eyes, put away the fairy mother-of-pearl clam on the stone table, and waved to the little white snake. The little white snake flashed and got into the spirit beast bag.

"Come in."

The door opened, and a beautiful woman walked towards her. It was Xu Qingwan: "Envoy Tang Xian, Ambassador Du Xian, please come over quickly."

Tang Ning frowned. He had been handling matters in Du Yuankai's house during the day, and not long after returning to his own house, Du Yuankai called him urgently in the middle of the night. Could something have happened?

He stood up and turned into light, then arrived at Du Yuankai's room in the blink of an eye.

Inside the room, Du Yuankai and Zheng Wei were immersed in discussing something.

"Senior Brother Du, what happened?" Tang Ning asked.

"Brother Zheng brought back news that at the Bianjing Intelligence Point, one of our intelligence officers has disappeared. The situation is unknown now. We need to evacuate quickly. I just discussed with Brother Zheng to find a new place to stay."

"The person disappeared. When did it happen?"

"The news from Xuan Ying was sent three days ago. At that time, he had lost contact with the intelligence contact disciple for two days." Zheng Wei said, but his eyes looked at Xu Qingwan behind him.

So, at least five days have passed. If they were specifically targeting them, it might be too late to evacuate now, Tang Ning thought to herself.

"Who is missing? Where is he missing?"

Du Yuankai said: "The name of the missing disciple is Xie Zhuang, who is at the seventh level of Qi Refining. Before he disappeared, he reported a message saying that the unexplained news about children in Bianjing in recent years was suspected to be related to the evil practice of the Demon Sect. Disciples at the intelligence point reported that he was ordered to investigate the matter before he disappeared. As for where he disappeared, it is not known yet. "

When he said this, Tang Ning remembered that he had indeed received an intelligence report from Bianjing a few months ago, saying that a large number of children were missing for no reason. At that time, he gave an approval and asked her to investigate the matter.

"Junior Brother Tang, look, how about we move the intelligence room here? This is a hiding place we have prepared." Du Yuankai pointed to the album on the table.

Tang Ning raised his eyes and saw that this atlas was a topographic map of Chu State. All the mountains, rivers, counties and cities were clearly marked. The place Du Yuankai pointed to was thousands of miles away, between Xianyu County and Tianjiao County.

"I have no objections. Everything will be subject to Senior Brother Du's arrangements."

"Well, it's decided. Brother Zheng, you will move your position to this place."

"good."

"Fellow Daoist Xu, tell everyone to pack their things and evacuate immediately."

"Yes." Xu Qingwan responded and left the room.

Not long after, the alarm bell of the intelligence station rang loudly, and everyone in the basement hurriedly gathered.

Tang Ning and others left the room and came to the crowd. Du Yuankai said: "The disciples from the Bianjing Intelligence Point are missing. Our location may have been exposed. For the sake of caution, everyone should evacuate the place immediately."

"Yes." Everyone responded and the group left the underground space, stepped on the magic weapon and flew away.

Tang Ning and Du Yuankai took the first step, leaving Zheng Wei and Xu Qingwan to lead everyone towards the newly planned intelligence room.

A land of thousands of miles is nothing to the foundation-building monks. After walking for most of the day, the two of them had reached their destination when the sky turned pale. This was called the Tianxian Mountains, and the entire mountain range stretched for hundreds of miles.

Du Yuankai led him to a cave covered by vines. After groping on the wall for a while, a passage suddenly opened on the ground, and the two of them walked down the stone steps.

Du Yuankai said: "Every time our intelligence room changes places, we must prepare two prepared hiding places in advance to prepare for emergencies. This kind of thing has always been left to Yang Yi, who will find and open a new hiding place." Yu.”

Tang Ning said: "Actually, so many days have passed. If someone had followed Xuan Ying all the way, I'm afraid they would have already found our hiding place. I feel that our current contact method is not secret and safe enough."

"This matter is inherently risky, how can it be absolutely safe? We can only try to ensure confidentiality. Unless there is a personal grudge, the Demon Sect will not retaliate in a big way. Even if our intelligence station is destroyed, the sect can immediately Build another one, and the sect will know the information and contact information of those insiders anyway."

The two of them talked and came to the basement room. The layout of this place was almost exactly the same as the previous basement room.

"Junior Brother Tang, what do you think of this matter?"

Tang Ning knew that he was asking about the disappearance of Bianjing intelligence disciples: "It's a bit weird."

According to Xiezhuang's intelligence report, the unexplained disappearance of boys and girls in Bianjing has lasted for at least two or three years, and most of them occurred around the middle of the month. Tang Ning didn't pay much attention at first, thinking that it was the work of thieves in the world who gathered in groups to kidnap children, so she casually gave instructions to investigate the matter.

But now even Xie Zhuang has disappeared, which is enough to show that this matter is not the work of ordinary people. It must involve monks in the spiritual world. But why are monks robbing children? If it is for the purpose of cultivation, then the method to be practiced must be an extremely evil secret method.

The fact that Xiezhuang's cultivation level disappeared for no reason shows that the opponent's strength has reached at least the late stage of Qi refining, and may involve foundation-building monks or a gang.

Du Yuankai nodded and said: "As far as I know, any method of cultivation does not require the assistance of boys and girls. This is quite strange, so I would like to ask you to go there in person and investigate clearly. It seems that the demon sect is causing trouble, or some evil heretic is causing trouble."

"I need the cooperation of the various intelligence stations in Bianjing. Since this matter involves the disappearance of children in the world, I think the Bianjing Intelligence Station should know more, but I don't have this authority."

"This is easy, just apply for permission from Senior Brother Lu. Xuan Ying's message is too slow, so you should go back to the sect in person and report the matter to Senior Brother Lu in person."

"Okay! I'll go then." Tangning responded and left.

……………

Tianxian Mountains, in the basement.

Zheng Wei and Xu Qingwan led everyone to trek for two days and one night, and finally arrived at the destination and settled here.

"Envoy Du Xian, everything has been settled."

"Well, please quickly arrange for people to reconnect with the intelligence points."

"I know." Zheng Wei opened his mouth, but seemed to hesitate.

"What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just say it. We have been friends for so many years, do we still need to be so hesitant?" Du Yuankai looked at his appearance and asked.

"Where is the Tang Immortal Envoy? Why don't you see him?"

"He went to Bianjing to investigate the disappearance of Xiezhuang."

"Oh." Zheng Wei nodded: "Is Ambassador Du Xian really leaving?"

"Of course, the sect's order has been issued. I am now the temporary leader. I will return to the sect when Junior Brother Tang is familiar with the affairs."

"What about the intelligence station? Tang Xian made him..."

Du Yuankai said: "There are some things that I planned to talk to you about before we leave. Now that you have spoken, let's talk about it today! Although you were promoted by me, you can be considered a veteran after working in the intelligence station for so many years. , Junior Brother Tang is here to take over as the head of the intelligence station, you don’t have to worry about anything, just do your duty.”

"Based on the few months I've spent with him, he's a big-hearted person and won't treat you badly. Don't worry about that. What happened in the past will be the same in the future."

Zheng Wei said: "I'm not worried about this. I heard that Tang Xianshi and Wan'er got along quite well, and Wan'er had a very pleasant attitude towards him. They..."

Du Yuankai smiled: "You don't have to worry about this matter. The reason why fellow Taoist Xu is so kind to Junior Brother Tang is because they are old acquaintances. Junior Brother Tang was once kind to her and helped her avenge the death of her family." Hatred. And Junior Brother Tang is married. As far as I know, there is no relationship between the two of them."

"That's it." Zheng Wei said, his tone was much more relaxed.
