Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Oh?" After hearing what he said, Tangning's eyes lit up and she thought of several plans in her mind: "Besides this, are there any other plans?"

Sun Jiayi pondered for a while: "The Huang family is in a state of neglect. Huang Tingjian is old, and there is no one among his nephews who can play a leading role, which makes him very sad. He is worried that after his death, the Huang family tree will fall apart and be swallowed up by other families. , so Huang Tingjian’s main focus in recent years has been on cultivating younger generations.”

Tang Ning nodded: "I understand. Do you know Huang Yaozu?"

"We met a few times, but we didn't have a deep friendship."

"Go ahead!"

"Yes." Sun Jiayi retreated.

Tangning thought for a while, then left the attic and disappeared into light.

After traveling for two days and one night, we arrived at the border of Qinchuan.

……………

There is a Taoist temple a hundred miles east of Wenchuan County called Yuanxunduan. A large white eagle flew over the Taoist temple and landed on the eaves of the Taoist temple. It made a loud and clear sound and left after a while.

At night, a ray of light rose into the sky from the temple. After traveling for an hour or two, it reached the top of a mountain peak. The ray of light fell down and revealed the figure of a man.

On the top of the peak, there was someone waiting for him.

Tang Ning turned around and bowed to the man, "Fellow Daoist Li, it's been a long time."

This person's name is Li Pingfeng, and he is an insider of the Corpse Puppet Sect. When he first took over as the head of the intelligence station, Du Yuankai brought him here to meet with him.

"Fellow Taoist Tang came to Qinchuan from afar. If you want to come to Sanbao Hall for nothing, just tell me if you have anything to do!" Li Pingfeng said

"Fellow Daoist Li speaks quickly, so I won't hide it. To be honest, I came to see you for a private matter. I hope you can help me."

Li Pingfeng frowned: "Private matter? What is it?"

"I would like to borrow someone from you."

"What do you mean? Fellow Taoist, please explain clearly."

Tang Ning said: "It's a long story, so let me tell you slowly. I got a monster corpse and want to refine it into a top-quality spiritual weapon. Currently, there are two materials missing. They are very rare. Only Jiangdong can The Huang family has this thing in their possession. The day before yesterday, I went to the Huang family to discuss it, and I paid three times the market price, but he still refused. I knew that he was determined and could not take it by force, so I devised a plan to force him to submit. "

"Huang Tingjian, the head of the Huang family, has a beloved grandson named Huang Yaozu. He is not engaged in spiritual practice. He indulges in the sounds of dogs and horses, and is obsessed with wine and flowers. I intend to start from here and set up a small trap to lure him into taking the bait."

"I will borrow one of your subordinates to hook up with Huang Yaozu. After I have captured Huang Yaozu, Huang Tingjian will definitely ask for something from me. I will take the opportunity to ask him for two materials. I don't have to worry about him not giving it."

"I won't hurt anyone, including your subordinate. I'm just setting up a trap to lure the Huang family into taking the bait."

Li Pingfeng was silent for a long time and did not express his position.

Tang Ning took out a storage bag and handed it over: "Knowing this matter has put Fellow Daoist Li in a bit of a dilemma. No one can help me except Fellow Daoist, so I came here to bother me. My kindness to you, Fellow Daoist, will be unforgettable."

Li Pingfeng took the storage bag with an expressionless face, penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness, and counted the ten thousand spirit stones inside. He hesitated: "Will this reveal my identity?"

"Don't worry, I won't have any contact with the disciple you sent. As long as he gets close to Huang Yaozu and I have the evidence between them."

Li Pingfeng nodded: "Okay! You wait for my letter."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist. Then I will wait here for news from you."

Li Pingfeng didn't say much, turned into a light and went straight back to Yuanxun Temple.

At midnight the next day, a man came outside the hall and said loudly: "Uncle Master, my disciple Ma Rui has something to report."

"come in!"

The man pushed the door open and walked in, bowed and saluted: "Uncle Master, there are disciples of the Yang family outside who want to see you."

"Invite him to come!" Li Pingfeng opened his eyes and said.

"Yes." The man responded and left. Not long after, a man with a handsome face arrived.

"Junior Yang Yuanxiu has met senior."

"What's up?"

"As ordered by the head of the family, I respectfully invite you to come to our house for a drink tonight."

"I understand. Tell fellow Taoist Yang that I will definitely be there."

"Junior, take your leave." Yang Yuanxiu left the hall.

"The Yang family invites you to a banquet at this time, probably because of the spiritual beast mentioned last time." The man next to him muttered.

Li Pingfeng nodded slightly: "They have a lot of thoughts and want to replace the Zheng family's status. I heard that Yang Jinyuan frequently associates with some people in the sect."

"Disciples have also heard that Yang Jinyuan gave one of his nieces to Master Shen Pucun as a concubine." The man next to him said.

"By the way, there is something you need to do."

"Uncle, please give me your instructions."

"You go to Jiangdong and get close to a person. His name is Huang Yaozu, and he is the grandson of the head of the Huang family, a local wealthy family."

"Uncle Master wants his disciple to get close to him, why?"

"I received news that the Huang family has obtained a treasure, which will be of great benefit to my practice. You should get close to him first and find out the authenticity of the news from his mouth. After this matter is over, I will have a heavy reward."

"Yes." The man responded.

Li Pingfeng flipped his left hand, took out a storage bag, took out twenty medium-grade spiritual stones and handed them to him: "The two thousand spiritual stones here will be used as funds for your operation. When you get there, be careful of Xuanmen's hawks and dogs. Don’t be in a hurry to reveal your purpose and approach Huang Yaozu step by step. Keep this matter strictly confidential and don’t let others know about it.”

"Disciple, I obey." The man said happily as he took the spirit stone.

"Let's set off now. When we get to Jiangdong, we will first inquire about Huang Yaozu. I heard that he is a dandy, with a good voice and a good mood, and he likes the alleys of flowers and willows. You can start from here."

"yes."

"Go!"

"Farewell, disciple." The man left the hall, went to his room, tidied up a few things, and left with his sword.

At night, Li Pingfeng arrived at the Yang family's house and received a grand welcome. The two parties exchanged cups and had a pleasant conversation.

After a banquet, Li Pingfeng left the Yang family and came to the top of the mountain, where the light fell.

Tang Ning stood up to greet him: "Fellow Daoist Li, have you made arrangements so quickly?"

"I have sent one of my disciples to Jiangdong to approach Huang Yaozu."

"I want his information, I don't know if it is possible."

"This is no problem, I'll leave it to you tomorrow."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li."

Li Pingfeng turned into a light and went straight away. He came back to the peak the next day and took out a roll of paper and gave it to him: "This is the basic information about that disciple. I only know this much."

Tang Ning unfolded it and took a look. The person's life, place of origin, age, and cultivation level were all clear, including when he joined the Corpse Puppet Sect and what positions he held during the period.

"That's enough. Thank you Taoist friend for your help. I'll take my leave." After that, Tang Ning turned into light and left. After walking for two days, she returned to Jiangdong and came to the Taoist temple. At this time, it was daytime and there were many ordinary people in the temple. .

He walked straight forward, but the crowd blocked him and refused to allow him to enter the temple where the master was practicing meditation. They made a lot of noise.

When Wang Xuquan heard the strange noise, he hurried out of the hall, dismissed everyone, invited Tang Ningru to the hall, and bowed: "Uncle, I don't know what I have to say."

"There is something you need to do. Keep an eye on Huang Yaozu and don't let him find out. If there is any situation, tell me immediately."

"Uncle Master, we have to use our methods against the Huang family."

"You don't need to ask any more questions, just go ahead!"

"Yes." Wang Xuquan took the order and left.

……………

Ma Rui traveled ten days and arrived at the border of Jiangdong. After some inquiring, he found out that the Huang family was entrenched in the southeast of Jiangdong.

So Yu Jian came straight, and after walking for more than a day, he saw a person walking on a fan in the clouds and mist in front of him. He flew away with all his strength and quickly caught up with the person.

"Fellow Taoist, please stay."

The man stepped forward and looked at him warily: "What's the matter with you, I wonder?"

"I'm looking for someone in Jiangdong for the first time. I'm not familiar with this place. May I ask where it is specifically?"

"Down here is Tiancheng County."

"Dare you ask me your last name?"

"My surname is Gu."

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Gu knows the location of the Huang family in Jiangdong?"

"Huang Family? You go south from now on, about three to four hundred miles, and you see a place shrouded in clouds and mist below. This is the Huang Family."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist." Ma Rui inquired about the direction and headed south with his sword. After walking for about half a day, he calculated the distance and saw that there was a cloudy place below, blocking the sky and the sun.

This should be where the Huang family is, he thought to himself, and went straight over without stopping.

In the next few days, he made inquiries and asked some casual cultivators, and learned some information about the Huang family.

He soon made friends with some local casual cultivators, and often invited them to banquets and went to various lofts to have fun. During this period, he asked round and round about Huang Yaozu's situation.

On this day, while having a banquet with a few casual cultivators, he casually shifted the topic to Jiangdong's wealthy family, and then led them to talk about the local wealthy Huang family.

"I heard that the Huang family only has one foundation-building monk, the head of the family, Huang Tingjian. I think once he dies, the Huang family may..."

A man below said: "Who says it's not the case! That's why Huang Tingjian is anxious! In recent years, he has frequently entered into marriages with other families, or betrothed the children of the Huang family to his family, or married children of other families, just in case, for the future of the Huang family Not to be annexed.”

"In my opinion, this is a way to sacrifice the basics and eliminate the weak. Once Huang Tingjian is enthroned, how can those families be tempted by the marriage of their children regardless of their interests? I can guarantee that one day, without Huang Tingjian, the Huang family will immediately become a piece of sand. Those families will pounce on the Huang family like tigers and wolves, and the first ones to pounce on them will definitely be those in-laws of the Huang family."

"I heard that Huang Yaozu, the grandson of the Huang family, has good qualifications, and Huang Tingjian loves him the most. Is it possible that he will take over as the head of the Huang family in the future?" Ma Ruidao

The person below smiled and said: "If people like Huang Yaozu take over as the head of the Huang family, it will be really difficult for the Huang family. Who doesn't know that he hangs out with the girls in Cuizhuang House all day long, and he is fond of gambling. If the Huang family lets him be the head of the family, it means that There is no one left in the Huang family, and He should be destroyed."

Cuizhuang Building, Ma Rui secretly wrote it down.

Another person said: "I heard that last time Huang Yaozu lost his mind at Pingdingding, borrowed a lot of spiritual stones, and couldn't pay off the debt. In the end, the Huang family was in trouble, and Huang Tingjian paid it off for him."

"I heard that Ping Dingding detained him on the spot, and Huang Tingjian came forward to return the spirit stone for him."

"No, your information is wrong, and it's not a big grudge. How can you arrest someone on the spot! It was Huang Yaozu who couldn't get it out when they went to ask for it several times, so they went to Huang Tingjian."

Everyone said one word after another.
