Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The Yang family's residence is located in Tianguang Mountain. When Tang Ning and Guan Xun arrived in front of the residence, they immediately aroused the alert of the Yang family. In an instant, three monks came towards them.

"Fellow Daoist Guan, why are you here?" One of them recognized Guan Xun and asked, then turned his attention to Tangning: "Who is this senior?"

"This is our sect, Uncle Tang Ning. He has something to see Senior Yang Yuting."

"Please wait a moment, please. I'll report it." The man said, holding up the magical weapon and walking away. Not long after, a ray of light came out, revealing the figure of a tall man with a heavy chest and a heavy waist. .

"My dear, Yang Yuting, don't you know your friend's name?"

"I, Tang Ning, the Qian Yizong, have taken the liberty of disturbing me this time because I have something to inquire about."

"Fellow Taoist, please come in and talk."

Tang Ning followed him to the main hall of the mansion, where the guests and hosts took their seats.

Yang Yuting said: "I wonder what important matter Brother Tang has here this time?"

"To be honest, I'm here because of the murder and disappearance of Yang Siqi, a son of your family."

Yang Yuting asked in surprise: "My nephew was killed, why bother Taoist friend Tang? Is there another hidden reason behind this matter?"

"I have received news that several demon sect monks have sneaked into South China with unknown intentions. I suspect that my nephew's disappearance is related to them, so I came here to inquire."

Yang Yuting said: "Although my nephew is incompetent, he is still responsible for his duties. How could he be involved in the Demon Sect? What does fellow Taoist Tang want to know?"

Tang Ning asked, "Fellow Daoist Yang, how did you know that your nephew had been killed?"

"Every disciple in the family who enters spiritual practice has a life soul stone placed in the ancestral hall, and is guarded by a dedicated person."

"Approximately when was your nephew killed?"

"About a moment after the ugly moment, my nephew's life soul stone is extinguished."

"I know you have vigorously investigated this matter? Are there any clues?"

Yang Yuting shook his head: "So far, no clues have been found."

"Does your nephew have any enemies?"

"Although my nephew is stupid and stubborn, he cares about money and loves justice. I have never heard that he has any big quarrels with others. If we talk about grudges, he has some grudges with the Yang family. He has nothing to do with him as a junior, so he will not go out to make trouble with him. , causing trouble for him."

"Did you notice anything unusual before your nephew was killed?"

"I asked several of the clan members who were friends with him, and they all said there was nothing unusual about him."

"What kind of magic weapon does your nephew usually use to defend himself? I mean what kind of magic weapon does he use when traveling?"

"My nephew has a Changhong Sword, which is a top-grade magical weapon and is mostly used for travel."

"Both the Yang family and the Qi family have sent people to search vigorously. As far as I know, my nephew played in Cuihua Pavilion before he was killed. Didn't you go ask about the situation?"

"To be honest, there has always been a rift between my family and the Liu family. Of course I sent someone to ask, but Liu Mian just said that the matter had nothing to do with them and sent my people away."

Tang Ning stood up and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yang, for telling me. I'll take my leave."

Yang Yuting also stood up: "Fellow Taoist, let's have a cup of tea before we leave!"

"Thank you. I have something else to do. I'll take my leave."

"Fellow Daoist Tang, is this really related to the Demon Sect?"

"We don't know yet." Tang Ning strode out of the Yang family's residence and turned into a escaping light.

After traveling for half a day, I arrived at the Qi family, met with the head of the Qi family, and asked the same question. The head of the Qi family responded one by one, similar to Yang Yuting. They didn't know who did it.

Tang Ning left Qi's house and already had a rough guess about the whole ins and outs of this matter.

Combining the words of Zhao Jia, an insider disciple of the Corpse Puppet Sect, as well as Cuihua Pavilion and Yang Family Qi Family, he was able to roughly deduce the places where Yang Siqi and Qi Yun were killed and the motives of each other.

Zhao Jia said that he had heard a conversation between his master Xiang Jingxing and his uncle Han Hun. The two mentioned the names of Dongshan County and Tianyu County many times, and said that they would find a good man in Changliu Lake. kind.

Changliu Lake spans Dongshan and Tianyu counties. Tang Ning believed that their real target should be Changliu Lake. They were not here on a mission from the sect, but to find some treasure. They first determined the scope of Dongshan and Tianyu counties. After searching the area, it was finally determined to be Changliu Lake.

The staff on duty at Cuihua Pavilion said that Yang Siqi and Qi Yun won hundreds of spiritual stones that day and left Cuihua Pavilion at around 3:00 to 4:00, saying they were going to Wangxichuan to have fun.

Heading west from Cuihua Pavilion to Qinchuan, you are about to pass through the boundaries of Dongshan and Tianyu counties.

The Yang family and the Qi family said that both Yang Siqi and Qi Yun were killed around the same time.

It can be confirmed that the two were indeed together at that time, so the answer is ready to come out.

If Yang Siqi and Qi Yun were able to fly with swords, they would start from Cuihua Pavilion at 3:00 pm and head toward Qinchuan and Wangxichuan.

At the critical moment, their cultivation speed allowed them to reach the Changliu Lake area.

Tang Ning guessed that when they arrived at Changliu Lake, they discovered Xiang Jingxing and Han Hun and were brutally murdered.

"Immediately go find a topographic atlas of South China." Tang Ning returned to the Taoist Temple and ordered.

"Yes." Guan Xun responded, followed the order, and not long after, he brought a topographic atlas.

Tang Ning unfolded the atlas and found the location of Cuihua Pavilion. Then based on Yang Siqi's flight speed, he determined a rough location, left the Taoist temple, and turned into the escape light.

After a short journey, we came to Changliu Lake. This lake is quite wide, two to three hundred feet wide from east to west, and a hundred miles long from north to south. It has vast expanse of blue waves and phosphorescent light on the lake surface.

Tang Ning fell into the old forest on the shore of the lake. He guessed that what the Corpse Sect and the two were looking for should be in the mountains and forests around the lake. According to his inference, the place where Yang Siqi and Qi Yun were killed should be within this range. No more than thirty miles.

As soon as he entered the forest, he escaped underground.

After being delayed for so many days, he didn't know if Xiang Jingxing and Han Hun had come back. If they met, he would not be sure of victory if they were two against one.

Tang Ning escaped into the ground, her consciousness was far away, she searched her surroundings and moved forward slowly.

Until nightfall, he searched thoroughly for dozens of miles around, but found nothing.

Tangning fell into deep thought.

If my inference is correct, Yang Siqi and Qi Yun should have been killed here. Why can't I find anything after searching everywhere?

Did Xiang Jingxing and Han Hun make a mistake, or had they already found what they were looking for?

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw two rays of light flashing across the sky and falling to the lakeside, revealing the appearance of two men.

It's Xiang Jingxing and Han Hun. Tang Ning immediately thought that there could be no one else but them here at this time.

He retreated into the treetops and observed quietly. The two parties were three to four hundred feet apart. It was impossible for his spiritual sense to detect them at such a distance. Tangning couldn't see their faces clearly and could only confirm that they were two men.

The two people escaped from the light and fell to the lake. They looked around cautiously. They didn't notice Tangning hiding in the treetops. The light on their bodies flashed and they headed straight into the lake.

Is it in the lake? Tangning was slightly shocked when she saw them escaping into the lake. No wonder he searched the mountains and forests for dozens of miles and found nothing. It turned out that what they were looking for was hidden in the lake.

He did not follow in a hurry and continued to observe among the treetops.

After waiting for an hour, they didn't come out of the lake. At this time, they were sure that what they were looking for was inside the lake.

Tang Ning didn't know what was going on inside, so she didn't dare to wait any longer, otherwise the day lilies would get cold.

He escaped into the ground, his consciousness spread far away, and he moved forward slowly, touching the edge of the lake and arriving at the position where the two of them were just now. His spiritual consciousness did not detect anyone, so he dived into the lake and used the water escape technique. He merged with the vast expanse of lake water and headed towards the bottom of the lake.

When he reached the center of the lake, sixty or seventy feet down, he found a faint light underneath, and followed the light upstream.

After walking less than a few miles, I could vaguely see a huge light curtain at the bottom of the lake, which was obviously a formation restriction.

Sure enough, he was here. He felt happy and walked in that direction. After walking for another two or three miles, he saw several figures standing in front of the light curtain.

Tang Ning took a closer look and saw that there were three people in total. They all released spiritual shields to block the lake water.

Why are there three people? Just now, he clearly saw only two people escaping to the bottom of the lake, which meant that one person was already in the lake before he came here.

Three people, this is tricky. If they were discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.

Tang Ning walked forward slowly and stopped one hundred and fifty feet away from them. This distance could not be detected even by the spiritual consciousness of late-stage foundation-building monks, unless they were golden elixir monks.

He looked at the three people from a distance and saw their lips moving slightly, not knowing what they were saying. They were so far apart and in the water, with the obstruction of the current. Even though his ears and eyesight were far better than ordinary people, he could not hear their words at all. Voice.

These three people were very strange. They were just talking but did not make any move to break the formation.

Could it be? Who are they waiting for? Tang Ning thought to herself, this is not good. If a golden elixir cultivator comes, wouldn't she die without a burial place?

He weighed in his mind whether he should withdraw or continue to wait.

If you withdraw at this time and go back to report to the sect, you may not be able to make it in time, and if you inform the sect, you will have nothing to do.

If you continue to wait here, if a golden elixir cultivator does come, aren't you digging your own grave?

Tang Ning thought for a long time and decided to observe before making a decision.

After waiting for two or three hours, they didn't see them start to break the formation. Instead, they sat down and swallowed the pills to replenish their spiritual energy to support the consumption of the spiritual energy shield and resist the pressure of the water at the bottom of the lake.

Now it is certain that they must be waiting for their companions.

A decision must be made.

Tangning slowly exited the lake, came to the shore, and stayed in the forest.

Since they don't plan to break the formation, there is no need to worry. It is better to wait and see who is coming.

If there is a Jindan cultivator, it is not too late to escape.

After some consideration, Tang Ning decided to do the next best thing and stay by the lakeside to observe people coming before taking action.

He estimated that the probability of Jindan monks coming here was very low. The reason was very simple. Xiang Jingxing and Han Hun secretly discussed and traveled to South China to discover the secrets under the lake.

Could they possibly inform the golden elixir monks above about this matter? If you were to replace them with yourself, you would never be able to tell the Golden Core cultivator that everything in the practice world depends on chance, and whoever grabs the ownerless thing belongs to the same person.

Although the two became disciples of Deng Xuanmao, they were only registered disciples. In the final analysis, they just found a big tree as a backer. Such a relationship could not be too close, and the competition within the Demon Sect was fierce. There are even fewer people who are sincere and sincere.

Furthermore, according to Zhao Jiazhi, Xiang Jingxing and Han Hun discovered the secret of this lake for at least a month. If the Jindan monks knew about this, they would have broken the formation long ago, and they would not have been delayed for so long. They have not broken the formation yet.

I guess it must be because they couldn't break the formation and were thinking hard about good strategies, so it took so long.

Moreover, the three people in the lake are all foundation-building monks. If the person behind the scenes is a golden elixir monk, he should come here in person instead of sending so many juniors to guard it. It is necessary to know that the more people who know such secrets, the more likely they are to be leaked. The greater the sex. What's more, this is South China and is under the jurisdiction of the Qianyi Sect.

If the Jindan monk knew about this, he would definitely not tell his disciples, just like he would not tell Guan Xun and others about it. There would be no benefit at all.

Tang Ning was not sure how many of them there were. Just now, he thought that the two people just now must be Xiang Jingxing and Han Hun, but now it seems that may not be the case.

He waited in the forest for a day. Late at night the next day, around midnight, two more escaping lights came out and stopped by the lake, revealing the figures of two men.

The two people turned around and looked around, but found no one else around them. The light flashed and they headed straight into the lake.

Tangning hid among the treetops and saw them going to the lake. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, no one else came back, so she escaped underground and came to the lake. She used her water escape technique to blend with the lake water, quietly Go to the bottom of the lake.

After walking for several miles, he arrived in front of the light curtain and saw a few people gathered together talking about something. He was one hundred and fifty feet away from them, observing them from a distance.
