Chronicles of Celestial Origins

There were only a few disciples from the Intelligence Department and the Discipline Department left in the hall.

Tong Quan'an said: "It is a pity that Zhu Xu and Ma Xuan were killed in the last war. The sect will take care of the aftermath, but the department cannot be without a leader for a day. If any of you feel that you are qualified for this position, If you are interested, you can apply to the sect and submit a detailed dossier of your life history and achievements to me, and I will hand it over to the leader, and then decide on the candidate."

"yes."

"You go back and prepare yourselves! Those who are willing to take up this position should hand over the files to me within three days."

"Disciple, please leave." Several people responded and left the hall, turning into light and leaving.

Tang Ning, Lu Guang, and Liu Miao walked side by side on the same road.

Liu Miao asked: "Senior Brother Tang, are you interested in appointing deacons this time?"

Tang Ning smiled slightly and said, "Senior Brother Lu will definitely participate in the selection!"

Lu Guangdao: "As long as you meet the conditions, you can participate in the selection of deacons. It's not a bad thing to have more people. It's a big wave! As for whether you can be selected in the end, it is decided by the sect. It is not something you and I can predict. I am lucky to get it, but I am losing it." If you want, Junior Brother Liu can also participate in this election."

Liu Miao said: "I won't join in the fun. I'm not qualified to be selected as a deacon based on my cultivation."

The three of them chatted and laughed, and soon they arrived at Zhongzhi Peak. Tangning walked back to the cave.

Liu Miao looked at his receding figure and frowned: "With his reputation and meritorious service, the higher-ups of the sect will definitely value him more. Senior Brother Lu, what do you think are the chances of winning?"

Lu Guang smiled slightly: "He has no chance."

Liu Miao was shocked when he heard this. He didn't know why Lu Guang said such unexpected words. He looked sideways and saw the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his eyes glowed with confidence: "What do you mean, Senior Brother Lu?"

"You will know when the time comes." Lu Guang didn't say much, and left with a flash of light.

When Tang Ning returned to the cave, she immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote down in detail all the achievements she had made in her life and the sect tasks she had completed each time.

At nightfall, he left the cave. After a short walk, he came to a majestic and majestic cave. He waved his hand and passed the transmission note inside.

After waiting for a while, the thick fog surged, and a ray of light shot out from within, revealing the figure of a man with a tall and straight body and a fair complexion. He was Chen Yu from the direct department of the Secret Academy. He bowed his head and said: "Senior Brother Tang, Uncle Tong Please come in."

Tang Ning followed him into the cave, walked through several passages, and came to the main room. Tong Quan'an was sitting cross-legged on the futon. Chen Yu said, "Uncle, Senior Brother Tang is here."

Tang Ning stepped forward and bowed, "Disciple pays homage to Master."

Tong Quan'an waved his hand and Chen Yu withdrew: "Sit down! No need to be formal."

"Thank you, Uncle Master." Tang Ning sat down as he was told. With a flick of his sleeves, a dossier fell into his hands. He handed it over with both hands: "Uncle Master, this disciple intends to run for the position of Deacon of the Information Section. This is a dossier written by the disciple. According to Uncle Master, I have ordered that all my life history be written here.”

Tong Quan'an took the file and said with a slight smile: "It's good that you are willing to shoulder the burden of the Intelligence Section."

"I hope my uncle can support me."

"I recognize your ability and strength. I feel confident that the Intelligence Department is in your hands. No matter how many people participate in the selection of deacons, I will vote for you when the time comes."

"Thank you, uncle." Tangning stood up and bowed.

It was expected that Tong Quan'an would support him. In the secret fight between Shi Mingsui and Luo Qingshui, Tong Quan'an had always stood by Luo Qingshui.

He was personally recommended by Luo Qingshui to join the Intelligence Department. Over the years, he has clearly been labeled as Luo Qingshui's faction. Therefore, it is impossible for him to support Lu Guang, whether in public or private matters.

Tong Quan'an said: "In addition to me, the sect also has six stewards of the three halls and three courtyards. You should also move around the others."

"Disciple knows."

According to Xuanmen's rules and regulations, the selection of ministers and deacons is jointly decided by all the stewards of the three halls and three courtyards, in a form where the minority obeys the majority. Everyone has the right to vote, including the head, whoever has the most votes If the votes are of the same type, whoever the leader votes for will win.

Qianyi Sect currently has eight high-level managers. In addition to the master of the three halls, the master of the three courtyards, and the headmaster, there is also Yin Qingyuan, who successfully formed the elixir a few years ago and is now the manager of the Qingxuan Palace. Among these eight people, he must You must get at least five votes to ensure victory in the competition with Lu Guang.

It is worth mentioning that within the Xuanmen system, taking the Qianyi Sect as an example, not all Jindan monks can serve as stewards of the three halls and three courtyards. These steward positions are limited by quotas and cannot be assigned to a certain cultivator. It can be selected automatically according to the level.

There are only ten stewards in all departments and departments of Xuanmen. In other words, there are only 67 high-level people in the three halls and three courtyards of Xuanmen at any level, including the masters of the three halls, the presidents of the three courtyards, and seven heads. There are ten stewards in the hospital.

It's just that Qian Yizong has never had so many golden elixir monks, so once they form elixirs, they can naturally take on the role of steward.

The following ministries and departments are also average. It does not mean that you can automatically be promoted to manager after reaching the foundation building level. It is just that most ministries and departments do not have more than ten foundation building monks. Therefore, if the following disciples succeed in foundation building, they will directly serve as managers of the department.

The steward can independently manage personal affairs, and at the same time has the right to make decisions on the department's personnel, finance and other aspects.

Take the Intelligence Department as an example. All matters in the department, big or small, must be discussed and implemented after consultation with the managers.

For example, the transfer, promotion, etc. of a certain disciple must be approved by the majority of the supervisors.

If there are fourteen or five foundation-building monks in the Intelligence Department, in addition to the ten managers, the other four or five foundation-building monks can only serve as captains of the following action teams or directors of the intelligence station. There is no doubt that the treatment they receive is different from that of managers.

The two chatted for a while, and Tong Quan'an waved his hand and said: "Go ahead! Go to other people's places and move around more, and I won't keep you here."

"Disciple takes leave."

………………………

At Zhongzhi Peak, Lu Guang returned to the cave and walked to the room. A middle-aged woman with a slim figure and skin as white as snow came out. With a look of concern on her face, it was his wife Zhou Yingxue.

"Husband, Uncle Tong called you to discuss matters for the purpose of selecting the deacons of the Intelligence Department?"

Lu Guang smiled and took her hand into the house: "The main purpose is to distribute the rewards for the battle at Xuanyue Mountain. However, this matter was also mentioned in the end. Tangning has already decided to participate in the selection."

Zhou Yingxue sighed: "Senior Brother Lu had the foresight! I had expected what would happen today."

Lu Guangdao: "Everything in the world is always unpredictable. Senior Brother Lu is just taking precautions and taking precautions. After all, he had already shown a very strong trend at that time. Anyone would have been wary of it. If the Demon Sect hadn't attacked and Zhu Xu died, it would have been impossible." There would be no current situation.”

Zhou Yingxue said: "In that case, should I take action?"

Lu Guang said: "Let's see again! If the selection can go smoothly and normally, there is no need. I have no grudges with him. If it is not necessary, I will not use such a method to offend others for nothing."

………………………

Tang Ning came to the Zixia Peak Cave Mansion, waved her hand, and the talisman disappeared into the thick fog.

Not long after, the thick fog rolled in, and a ray of light flashed out from inside, revealing the figure of a man. It was Luo Qingshui's disciple Yang Chang. He bowed his head and said, "Senior Brother Tang, master, please come in and talk."

Tangning followed him into the living room.

"Senior Brother Tang, please wait a moment. Master will be here soon." Yang Chang turned around and left the room.

After waiting for about a minute to drink tea, footsteps could be heard outside, and Luo Qingshui came in from the outside. Tang Ning quickly stood up and bowed, "Disciple pays homage to Master."

Luo Qingshui sat down at the main seat and waved his hand: "Sit down!"

"Thank you, uncle."

"What brings you here?"

"This morning, Senior Uncle Tong called me to discuss matters, and we talked about the selection of deacons for the Intelligence Section. Disciple just now submitted a file to Senior Uncle Tong and decided to participate in the selection of deacons for the Intelligence Section. Therefore, I came here to listen to my uncle's teachings, and I hope that he will not hesitate to give me some advice. ”

Luo Qingshui smiled and said, "Junior Brother Tong, what do you have to say?"

"Thanks to Senior Uncle Tong's promotion, he made it clear that he would support me as the deacon of the Intelligence Section."

Luo Qingshui nodded slightly: "I won't go into details about our Xuanmen's rules and regulations. You should know it. For this matter alone, if you want to successfully assume this position, you must get the support of at least five people to be sure of victory. Are you ready? Who should I visit and get their support?”

"Please ask my uncle for advice."

"Junior Brother Peng of Yuanyi Palace is fair and selfless. Junior Brother Jiang of the Internal Affairs Bureau has a short lifespan and has rarely interfered with the affairs of the sect. Junior Brother Yin, who is in charge of Qingxuan Palace, has been promoted to Jindan for a long time. He has always acted as the head of the family. . You only need the support of two of these three people to win."

Tang Ning nodded and understood what he meant. Among the eight high-level Jindan cultivators of the Qianyi Sect, she had already received votes from Tong Quan'an and Luo Qingshui.

The leader, Wei Xuande, has a kind-hearted nature and is a good old man. He rarely expresses his position on personnel appointments. With his achievements over the years, even if he does not support voting for himself, he will not clearly support Lu Guang. This vote Most abstentions.

Among the remaining five people, Luo Qingshui did not name Shi Mingsui, the head of Qingxuan Hall, and Cheng Shuimin, the head of the Foreign Affairs Academy. The meaning was obvious that if he could not get the support of these two people, it would be useless to visit them.

Needless to say, Shi Mingsui would not be able to support him. However, Cheng Minshui was on good terms with Shi Mingsui and was Shi Mingsui's supporter in the fight for the leadership. There was a high probability that he would also support Lu Guang.

Peng Wanli, Jiang Ming, and Yin Qingyuan belong to the neutral faction and have no obvious tendency, so they need to gain their support.

Tang Ning said: "This disciple is not very familiar with these uncles, so he visited them rashly. I wonder if they have any preferences?"

Luo Qingshui smiled slightly: "You don't have to think about this anymore, You Chang'er can go with you!"

"Thank you, uncle."
