Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"No." Yan Yuanfan said quickly.

Han Ling'er looked at him with caution, and unconsciously distanced herself a little: "Why?"

Yan Yuanfan was silent for a moment: "Uncle Zhao came here just to arrest Senior Brother Ji, so as to expand his influence and make everyone aware of it. Therefore, he secretly sent me to collect your central formation plate because of your close relationship with Senior Brother Ji." , are also subject to investigation by the Secret Security Bureau.”

Han Ling'er became more and more suspicious: "In that case, I will hand over the central formation disk to Junior Brother Bao. After I confirm the identity of Master Zhao, I will give the formation disk to you and accept the secret security department for questioning."

"Okay, but I want to go with you."

"Can."

The two of them left the room and came to another cave. Han Ling'er handed over the central array disk to the man named Bao and explained the reason. Then, as Yan Yuanfan left the Ling Mine, he walked less than ten miles and met Zhao Gong and others on the top of a mountain.

After confirming the identity of the visitor, Han Ling'er returned to the spirit mine and handed the central formation disk to Yan Yuanfan.

Zhao Gong, Zhou Yuan and the rest quietly entered the spirit mine without alerting anyone. They were led by Yan Yuanfan to Ji Wuwo Cave and broke in directly.

In the cave, Ji Wuwo was sitting cross-legged on the futon. The formation plate was shaking violently. He was about to take it out, but there was a flash of light and an old man with a bright head came in front of him. Zhou Yuan and others followed closely behind.

Ji Wuwo's ​​expression did not change, he stood up and bowed: "Uncle Zhou is here, what are your orders?"

"The Secret Security Department suspects that you are conducting forbidden secret experiments and has informed the leader. You can follow us back to the sect for investigation!" Zhao Gong said calmly.

"Yes." Ji Wuwo didn't look surprised, and didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded in agreement.

The group of people filed out of the spirit mine and took off into the air, with Zhao Gongfei fleeing in front, and several people from the secret security department surrounded Ji Wuwo intentionally or unintentionally to prevent him from escaping.

After walking for a day, they gradually felt that something was not quite right. They all turned their heads to look at Ji Wuwo. Even Zhao Gong looked back, frowning slightly.

In order to escort him back to his sect, he naturally slowed down his escape speed, maintaining the same escape speed as everyone else in the Secret Security Department.

Gai Yinji Wuwo has a special status. She is the disciple of Shen Wenze, the master of Qingxuan Hall. As the saying goes, looking at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face, you must save some face.

In addition, the Secret Security Bureau only investigated and detained him and did not convict him, so there was no restraint in his body.

But after flying like this for most of the day, Ji Wuwo actually behaved very abnormally. Seeing that he was slightly out of breath, and there were traces of sweat on his forehead, he looked like he was mentally exhausted.

How could a monk in the late stage of foundation building lose his spiritual power after running away for a day?

"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Gong asked.

"It's okay." Ji Wuwo smiled slightly, with a calm expression. With his appearance at the moment, it actually looked very strange.

Zhou Yuan was secretly wary. He felt that something was not right from the beginning. Ji Wuwo acted too indifferently, even though he was usually a very deep-seated person who could not express his emotions or anger.

But when he was investigated for no reason and brought back to the sect for questioning, he actually showed no concern at all and didn't even say a single unnecessary word. He gave the impression that he was confident and had everything under control.

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but think of that day, when the Blood and Bone Sect was looting and occupying many of the Qingyang Sect's cultivation resources. The leader summoned his disciples to fight back, wipe out the Demon Sect, and regain the resources in the area.

At that time, the masters of the three halls in the palace and the master of the courtyard were present, and the elite disciples of the sect stood and listened to the announcement. The master ordered him and Ji Wuwo to go to Baixiong Mountain to kill those people and regain the resources of the territory.

He happily accepted the order, but to his surprise, Ji Wuwo actually uttered arrogant words in front of everyone, saying that one person is enough and the rest are burdensome.

At that time, he was already a monk in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, while Ji Wuwo was only in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. How could he swallow his breath after being so ignored and humiliated by him?

So they rebutted on the spot, argued in court, and finally got into a fight.

In the end, he ended up in a mess, with disheveled hair and a loss of face.

But this competition was proposed by him in private, and there were many onlookers at the time.

So for a while, he became the laughing stock of the sect and was defined as a clown who did not know his own abilities.

Later I learned that there was a dragon scale grass with thousands of years of medicinal properties in the White Bear Mountain, which was obtained by people from the Demon Sect. Ji Wuwo didn’t know where he got the news. In addition, he encountered a bottleneck in the early stage of foundation building and wanted to rely on elixirs. To break through the bottleneck, I don’t want anyone to go with me.

After that incident, he learned from the pain and devoted himself to practice for decades. He finally broke through to the late stage of foundation building and successfully became a deacon of the secret security department.

Over the years, he has used his authority to pay attention to Ji Wuwo's ​​movements all the time, in order to find out what happened to him and send him to Xing Prison with his own hands, so that he would not be able to turn around.

There are many ways to avenge one's humiliation, and it doesn't necessarily have to rely on being ruthless and brave. Using the rules of the sect and taking advantage of the situation for one's own advantage is better than the bravery of an ordinary man.

Zhou Yuan recalled that his demeanor in the hall that day was almost the same as now, confident and calm, as if he had everything under control.

The crowd marched for another hour or two, and Ji Wuwo was already out of breath, with large beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.

Zhao Gong flashed and came to his side. He pressed his palm on his shoulder to explore the operation of spiritual power inside his body.

After this investigation, it was found that the spiritual power in his body was pitifully thin and extremely disordered. It did not have the concentration of spiritual power of a foundation-building monk.

At this moment, Ji Wuwo tilted his head and fainted. His body fell straight from the sky, but it was due to the exhaustion of his spiritual power.

Zhao Gong waved his hand, and the spiritual power wrapped around his body. Looking at Ji Wuwo again, his body quickly festered and decayed visible to the naked eye, and soon turned into a withered skeleton.

Everyone looked at each other dumbfounded and looked at each other in shock, feeling quite at a loss for a moment.

"Uncle Zhao, this...is this?" Zhou Yuan was also shocked. Although he had already felt strange in his heart, the change in front of him still shocked him.

"Clone Technique." Zhao Gong said slowly with a solemn expression.

Zhou Yuan didn't know what kind of magic this was, he had never heard of it.

"Let's go back to the sect and report this to the headmaster." Zhao Gong didn't explain much. He threw the withered bones into the storage bag, and with a flash of light, he galloped forward. Everyone in the secret security department hurriedly followed. superior.

After traveling for half a day, Zhao Gong met with the headmaster Wang Xuquan when he returned to Qingyang Sect.

Wang Xuquan immediately convened a high-level meeting after learning about the incident. Not long after, the masters of the three halls and the three courtyards arrived one after another.

"Master, why are you summoning me so urgently?" Gong Qingfan, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, asked.

"As for the defection of Xuanyue Mountain Chief Ji Wuwo, Junior Brother Zhao, it's up to you to explain it to all the junior brothers!" Wang Xuquan said, directly defining the matter as a defection incident.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this and looked at each other in astonishment. Ji Wuwo is a recognized genius disciple in the Qingyang Sect. His talent is astonishing. He has only practiced for a hundred years and is already in the late stage of foundation building. He is also the master of Qingxuan Hall. Shen Wenze's disciple.

As the most outstanding disciple of Qingyang Sect, he is very likely to take over the position of the master of Qingxuan Palace in the future, and then take over as the head teacher. Unexpectedly, he would defect, how can people not be surprised.

Logically speaking, with his status and resources in the Qingyang Sect, as long as nothing unexpected happens and he successfully achieves the Golden Elixir, taking over as the master of the Qingxuan Palace is a sure thing. He should not defect if anyone defectes!

Shen Wenze's face was livid, and there was no way to vent the anger in his heart. Wang Xuquan had been angry with him before convening the meeting, so he knew the truth earlier than everyone else.

Zhao Gong coughed slightly and said, "The story started when the Intelligence Department discovered a strange monk seven years ago..."

"According to the clues obtained by the Secret Security Section, I was ordered by the leader to go to the Xuanyue Mountain Spirit Mine and secretly take Ji Wuwo away. He did not resist and left quietly with us."

"Unexpectedly, within a day of flying away, his spiritual power was exhausted. After I noticed the abnormality, when I probed the movement of spiritual power in his body, I found that the spiritual power in his body was weak and chaotic, and he was not like a normal monk at all."

"I was about to take him back to the sect to find out the cause, but I didn't expect that his body quickly decayed, leaving only a withered skeleton."

Zhao Gong turned his left hand and took out the withered bones from the storage bag: "It was only then that I suddenly remembered that this was a forbidden secret technique called "Clone Technique". He relied on this clone, Concealing the truth and making others think that he has been in the spiritual mine, in fact, the person in the spiritual mine is just a clone, and he himself is secretly conducting forbidden experiments on the source of immortality. "

"Clone technique?" Wang Qin, the master of Yuanyi Palace, looked puzzled: "Is it a unique secret technique created by himself?"

Zhao Gong sighed: "It can be said that it is, or it can be said that it is not. The clone technique was an idea proposed by a disciple of the forbidden secret department five hundred years ago, but it was already dead before it was completed. Unexpectedly, Ji Wuwo successfully developed it. With this technique, I have to say that this person’s talent is indeed higher than that of ordinary people, and it can also be seen that this person’s scheming is deep.”

"I think he started planning this a long time ago. He may have developed this technique while in the Forbidden Secret Department, but he kept it secret and didn't tell anyone, just for today's matter."

"The clone technique requires the body of a monk with the same cultivation level to be sacrificed alive, erasing his own consciousness, and then splitting part of his consciousness and spiritual power into his body, and stripping off his whole body of flesh and blood, leaving only one body. Bones."

"Finally, I use my own essence and blood to cultivate the bones using a secret method to regenerate flesh and blood. The final result is a body that looks like myself."

"This clone possesses everything of the original body, including memory, blood essence, and the same spiritual power fluctuations. Outsiders will never be able to tell the slightest bit."

"But as soon as there is a fight, the secret will be revealed immediately. Once the spiritual power stored in the body is exhausted, the body will immediately rot and turn into white bones."

"I learned that Ji Wuwo has been the director of the Xuanyue Mountain Spirit Mine for nine years. Except for the first two years, he often went out of the spirit mine. In the following seven years, he never left the spirit mine."

"I think this clone must have been made seven years ago, in order to hide from others and not expose himself. He never cared about the affairs of the spiritual mine, including the formation center of the spiritual mine, and also handed it over to other disciples for safekeeping, on the grounds of hard work. , Don’t leave the cave even half a step.”

"All the clues and evidence point to him. Although no one has caught the stolen goods yet, we are basically certain that he is the mastermind behind the source of the undead essence." Zhao Gong concluded in the end.
