Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Okay, now that Junior Brother Tang has spoken, I'll go say hello to the Qingxuan Hall Ren Tiaobu. I think they will still give me this thin noodles."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhu. There is no need to worry about this matter. The heir of my old friend has not entered the mountain gate yet. Whether he can transform into the mortal world is another matter for now. I returned to the sect this time mainly for the funding of the intelligence station, and secondly to inquire about this crossing. Choose the envoy and get a token."

"Junior Brother Tang is so dedicated and busy for this son, do you intend to take him as your disciple?"

"That's not true. This child's ancestors have been kind to me, and the elder in her family is an old friend of mine. When she asks for help, I can't refuse. Once I make a promise to someone, I will do my best, that's all."

"Do you need me to inquire about the candidate for the Yuanyuan Envoy?"

"No, thank you very much, Senior Brother Zhu. I'll take my leave. I hope Senior Brother Zhu can have a few kind words about the funding for the intelligence station. I will stay in the sect for a few more days and I will leave after the funds are secured."

"Okay." Zhu Xu nodded slightly.

Tang Ning stood up and left his cave, and came to a palace in Zixia Peak. As the light fell, a disciple came to meet him and saluted: "Uncle, this is the meeting hall of the Palm Seal Department of Qingxuan Palace. I don't know what's going on." Something important?”

"Where is your senior brother Fang Xiang? I came here to look for you."

The matter of assigning an envoy to cross the fate was the responsibility of Qingxuan Palace, so he came to Fang Xiangming of the Palm Seal Department to inquire about the situation.

The Palm Seal Department, as the name suggests, is the department in charge of seals. It can be said to be the most powerful among all departments.

All affairs in the sect, no matter how big or small, need to be approved by the Palm Seal Department and stamped with a signature before they can take effect.

Therefore, in the three halls, there are five subordinate departments, all of which have this department.

Qingxuan Hall has the Qingxuan Hall Palm Seal Department, Xuande Hall has the Xuande Hall Palm Seal Department, and Yuanyi Hall has the Yuanyi Hall Palm Seal Department.

This is the only department with overlapping functions and names among the five departments and six departments in each hall and courtyard of Xuanmen.

There are not many disciples under the Palm Seal Department, but they are all elites. There are five Palm Seals, among which the deacon of the Palm Seal Department is also called the Chief Palm Seal.

"Uncle Fang is not in the meeting hall, so he can go to his cave to look for him," the disciple replied.

"I don't know where his cave is, please lead me there."

"Yes, uncle, please." The man flew into the air with his flying sword, and Tang Ning followed him in a flash. After less than a cup of tea, the two of them arrived in front of a cave.

"Uncle Master, this is where Uncle Fang's cave is. If there is nothing else to do, I will take my leave."

Tangning nodded, flipped her left hand, and passed the teleportation note through the thick fog into the cave.

Not long after, there was a flash of light inside, and a man with a beard and full cheeks appeared in front of him, it was Fang Xiangming.

Tang Ning once went to the Xuanyue Mountain Spirit Mine with him to investigate the details. Later, when they formed the Xuanmen sharp team, they fought against the Demon Sect monks together. Although they were not close friends, they could still be regarded as acquaintances. His appearance now was much better than before. He looks a little older, with some gray hair on his temples.

"Junior brother Tang, we haven't seen you for many years. Congratulations! Your cultivation has reached a higher level." Fang Xiangming said.

Tang Ning bowed and said, "Senior Brother Fang, I have taken the liberty to bother you this time because I want to ask you something. I hope you can tell me."

"What's going on? Let's talk about it first!"

"Don't bother me. It's actually not an important matter. I have a son of an old friend who has spiritual roots, and I want to bring him into the sect to practice. So I want to inquire about the candidate of the sect's destiny messenger this time. I want to invite him. Just for the sake of convenience, I wonder if Senior Brother Fang knows about it, can you tell me?"

Fang Xiangming smiled and said: "So that's what happened! As far as I know, the sect has not decided on a specific candidate yet, but according to regulations, this time the fate envoy should be selected from among the junior disciples of the Foreign Affairs Academy."

"Since you're here, I don't want you to go in vain. Let's do this! After the candidates are confirmed and submitted to the Palm Print Department, I will send someone to inform you. The Intelligence Department is at the Middle Finger Peak, right! I will send my disciples there then I’ll let you know, I think it will only happen in the next few days.”

Tang Ning said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Fang."

"It's such a small thing, it's not worth mentioning."

"Then I won't disturb Senior Brother Fang's practice any more. I'll take my leave."

………………

In Qianjun Mountain, a ray of light fell, revealing a middle-aged man who was no more than forty years old, with a Chinese character face, big eyes and thick eyebrows, and several deep wrinkles between his eyebrows. He was Zheng Wei, who was in charge of the peripheral affairs of the intelligence station.

As soon as he disappeared from the light, the secret whistle disciples hiding here came to greet him: "Senior Zheng, you are here. Master Tang has not returned yet after going out."

"Oh, it's okay. I'm not here for station matters."

A knowing smile appeared on the disciple's face: "Senior Xu broke through to the early stage of foundation building a few days ago. She seems to be in a good mood these days. The fellow disciples below all feel that her attitude towards everyone is much better. No, So cold."

Everyone at the intelligence station knew that Zheng Wei was interested in Xu Qingwan and had been pursuing her crazily over the years.

Since he didn't come here for official business of the intelligence station, he naturally came for her. This was tacitly understood.

Zheng Wei is an old man at the intelligence station. Before the foundation was built, he had been staying in the basement, so he was familiar with other people. The disciples below would occasionally joke with him.

The underground intelligence station is so big, and the disciples gather together to chat and joke when they have nothing to do. If there is any news, it will spread quickly, let alone major events such as a foundation-building monk breaking through the realm, and Xu Qingwan is the attention of the intelligence station. Focus person.

Everyone has been talking about her breakthrough in the early stages of foundation building these days, and the most talked about thing is naturally the love triangle between her, Zheng Wei, and Tang Ning.

Zheng Wei smiled, said nothing, and walked inside. After walking a few steps, he paused and looked back and asked, "I heard that Wan'er and Tang Xianshi went out together for several days a few days ago. Is this true? "

"That's right."

"I wonder what happened?"

"How can we know this? Do we still dare to question Uncle Tang? You should just ask Senior Xu directly!"

Zheng Wei said nothing and went straight to the basement.

"Senior Zheng, Senior Zheng." Everyone saw him and stood up to greet him.

Xu Qingwan was sitting cross-legged on the futon with her eyes closed and practicing. When she heard a knock on the door, she stood up and opened the stone door. When she saw it was Xu Wei, she felt nervous for some reason, fearing that he would be so attentive to her and say words of love to her for no reason.

"Brother Zheng, you are here."

"Yeah." Zheng Wei nodded slightly.

After the two asked and answered, the room fell into a brief silence, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

"Tang Immortal Envoy is not at the intelligence station and has returned to the sect."

"I know that I didn't come here to find him this time." Zheng Wei said silently.

When he heard the news that Xu Qingwan had broken through to the middle stage of foundation building, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.

He knew that as the gap in cultivation between the two widened, the hope he dreamed of became increasingly slim. If he didn't show her cards and ask her clearly, he would really have no chance.

But what if we ask clearly? Didn't she already make it clear? Everything was just wishful thinking. From beginning to end, she never expressed her promise to anything. She was just being sentimental.

From the moment he saw her, he decided that this was the partner he had always wanted. He thought about her day and night, and was courteous in every possible way, but there was always an invisible, intangible, and real thick layer between them. door.

He spent a few days in a state of confusion, unable to bear the longing and impulse in his heart, so he came here to make things clear to her.

But when the two of them were sitting here facing each other, he didn't know how to speak.

The words that were originally stuck in my heart could not be uttered.

"Is there a problem?"

"Congratulations, you have broken through the middle stage of foundation building."

"I was just lucky. I believe Brother Zheng will be able to successfully enter this situation soon."

Zheng Wei smiled bitterly: "I know my situation myself. I haven't made any progress in these years. I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

After he established the foundation, he encountered the Sigh Tribulation within less than ten years of practice. It has been nearly twenty years since then, and his cultivation has not improved at all.

That's why he was able to save so many spiritual stones and buy high-grade spiritual weapons to give to Xu Qingwan because he didn't need spiritual stones to practice.

He had a pessimistic premonition that his life might stop here.

Therefore, when he heard that Xu Qingwan had successfully broken through this state, he felt disappointed and had mixed emotions.

There was silence in the room. The two were facing each other. They could probably guess what the other was thinking, but they couldn't speak.

After a long silence, Zheng Wei said, "I heard that you went out with the Tang Immortal Envoy a few days ago. I don't know what happened?"

Xu Qingwan said: "I have a grandnephew who is ten years old according to his spiritual roots. I think he can join the Qianyi Sect to practice, so as not to be like us and live without a home, so I asked the Tang Immortal Envoy for help."

"Just as the Qianyi Sect's Yuan Envoy was coming down the mountain, I took Tang Xianshi to my grandnephew's house a few days ago to see with my own eyes his spiritual qualifications. It would be best to arrange him into the Intelligence Department in the future. There is a caretaker.”

Zheng Wei said, "That's it. I've never heard of you talking about it before."

"It was also the last time I went back that I found out that my great-nephew was born and that he had a spiritual root. I don't want others to know about things in the world unless necessary."

"Does the Tang Immortal also admire you?" After a while, Zheng Wei asked. He had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but today he could no longer bear to ask it: "I heard many people talking about it. Is it true that you are in love with each other?"
