Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tangning sat cross-legged in the stone room, opened her eyes for a long time, and sighed slightly.

At the beginning of his arrest and imprisonment, he unknowingly experienced huge fluctuations in emotions such as irritability, sadness, sadness, arrogance, joy, etc. After more than a month, his heart finally returned to its calm state.

This moment was like an enlightenment, clearing the clouds and seeing the sun.

He looked back at the past and thought of everything he had experienced in the past month or so. It felt so unreal and unbelievable. How could he become like that? Is this still him?

The scary thing is that these emotions came from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't notice anything strange at that time, as if he had fallen into an illusion.

Since then, there has been no more ripples in his Linghai Cave, and the entire Linghu Lake is like a pool of stagnant water.

After the spiritual energy refined and absorbed in the elixir entered the Linghai Cave, it could not be integrated into the spiritual lake at all, and could not be transformed into its own spiritual energy. It could only watch the refined pure spiritual energy linger in the spiritual lake and finally dissipate.

The spiritual lake in the body seems to be covered by invisible white cloth. The spiritual lake no longer absorbs more spiritual energy and only maintains this spiritual power.

After many verifications, Tang Ning finally understood that she had encountered a bottleneck, which was a catastrophe that the cultivation world had changed.

The so-called catastrophe of sighs refers to the catastrophe of the state of mind. Monks are not puppets. They also have seven emotions and six desires, no less than ordinary people, and even worse.

However, spiritual practice teaches that one should be pure of heart and have few desires, and be in harmony with the way of heaven and follow nature. The two are in conflict with each other, and thus there will be a mental disaster.

The spiritual world calls this calamity bottleneck the sigh calamity.

It usually occurs when the mood fluctuates greatly, and the state of mind caused by sudden great joy or great sadness is extremely unstable, and the inner demons will come to the person, causing a bottleneck in practice, and the tribulation of sighs will occur.

Some emotions do not fluctuate, but after years of boring practice, the monks become bored with their emotions, and the tribulation of sighs will come.

This calamity bottleneck is the greatest enemy of monks. There is no way to solve it. It can only depend on personal chance. No matter it is a thousand-year-old herb or a pill specifically targeted at the bottleneck, it will not have any effect. Countless talents in the cultivation world have failed. Under this calamity, he eventually turned into withered bones.

Rumor has it that the leader, Wei Xuande, also encountered the Calamity of Sighing, and has not made any progress for more than a hundred years, until now he is very old! Life is about to end.

The irritability, sorrow, sadness, arrogance, joy and many other emotions that surged from the bottom of Tangning's heart were all affected by the Sigh Tribulation. Those were the emotions that he had suppressed in his heart for many years of practice. Under the influence of the inner demon, they were all released.

This is the specific manifestation of sighing robbery. It can dig out people's deepest hidden emotions, but sighing does not know it at all.

The previous Dou Bolun with disheveled hair, split eyes, and bleeding from his seven orifices demanding his life was his inner demon fantasy.

When he fell into this illusion, the calamity of sighs had quietly arrived.

In fact, Tang Ning has always been brooding about the annihilation of the Dou family. Over the years, he occasionally thought about it and always doubted and denied himself. Was it necessary for the family to kill the Dou family? Did he really do something wrong?

The Dou family has fallen, the Lu family has risen again, Wang Xichuan is still there, and there are still many women who are suffering and forced to practice the way of the furnace, so what is the meaning of all this?

They break their promises and betray their promises, but they are just a wedding dress for others.

Over the years, his cultivation has been advancing rapidly, and everything has been going smoothly. However, he has become more and more confused in his heart. He just blindly follows the instructions of the sect, makes plans, and works conscientiously.

Along the way, in the constant struggle and growth, the young man who fought in court in Jingbei and argued passionately in Qianxing Hall has been killed by his own hands, leaving only an empty body.

He also sighed with emotion in the middle of the night. When he entered the cultivation of Qianyi Sect from a rough beggar, what he despised the most were those monks who regarded mortal lives as trivial. Now, he has finally become Such a person.

Not to mention mortals, even innocent monks, countless people have been killed by him in his hands over the years.

Until this time he was investigated and interrogated by the sect, finally convicted, and taken to Wujian Cliff. Although his face was calm, in fact, there was already a turmoil in his heart.

What on earth have I been doing these years? I almost died several times for the sake of my sect, but in the end I met this end.

He constantly doubted and denied himself, and finally fell into the illusion of inner demons, ushering in the catastrophe of sighs that people in the spiritual world talked about.

Tangning sighed, took out the storage bag in her hand, and moved it upwards. The storage bag swelled up in the wind, and something floated out of it.

The simple and vicissitudes of texture and the branches that are neither stone nor wood are exactly the fairy mother-of-pearl clams.

In recent years, he has devoted himself to cultivation. In order to improve his cultivation as quickly as possible, he has spent almost all his time on cultivation. This mother clam rarely takes care of it. This thing may be really dead. After years of irrigation with his green spiritual power, it has also There is no movement at all, so I seldom care about it.

Now that he is trapped in the Wujian Cliff Prison and facing the disaster of Sigh, his body's spiritual energy is already saturated and he cannot sit there for ten years, so he has no choice but to take out this thing again and treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor.

In the basement of the Silver Fox Intelligence Station in the Central Plains, Zheng Wei exited Du Yuankai's room, came to Xu Qingwan's room, and knocked on the stone door.

"Come in." A cold voice came from inside, and Zheng Wei pushed the door open and entered.

"Brother Zheng, you're here." Xu Qingwan saw him standing up to greet him.

"Isn't this the spiritual stone subsidy from the Sect? I'll collect the activity funds."

Xu Qingwan nodded without saying anything.

The room fell into silence for a moment, Zheng Wei coughed slightly and said: "I heard that this time the deacons of the Qianyi Sect Intelligence Section were selected, it was Ambassador Lu Guangxian who was in charge of the affairs of the Intelligence Section, and Ambassador Du Xian got the subsidy for the Lingshi funding so quickly. , I think he has a good relationship with Lu Xianshi. Our intelligence station has been strapped for funds in recent years, and I think it will be much better than before. "

Xu Qingwan said: "Brother Zheng, I have something to ask you. I wonder if you can tell the truth."

Zheng Wei said: "You know I never hide anything from you."

Xu Qingwan said: "Do you know that Tang Xianshi was captured by Shang Zong and sent to Xing Prison?"

Zheng Wei said: "Who doesn't know about such a big thing? I heard that he was sentenced to ten years in prison, which is not bad! For his longevity, ten years is nothing."

Xu Qingwan said: "The reason I heard about this was because of what happened in Daoding 712. At that time, Tang Xianshi was still the director of our intelligence station. When he went to Jiangdong, he only had contact with our intelligence station and the disciples of the intelligence station there. "

"The intelligence station does not know the specific details of the Demon Sect disciples. Only the disciples at the intelligence point know and have been tracking it. But for such a trivial matter, our disciples at the Jiangdong Intelligence Point will definitely not directly report it to the Qianyi Sect. How did they know about it? ?”

Zheng Wei's eyes flickered and he didn't dare to look directly at her: "What exactly do you want to ask?"

Xu Qingwan said: "All information submitted to each intelligence station must first pass through you before being forwarded. This information must have been leaked within our intelligence station."

"I remember you once told me that Tang Xianshi was at odds with Du Xianshi and the people behind him. Even the disciples of their sect's department were not so clear about the internal affairs of their sect. How did you know about it?"

"Brother Zheng, did you leak this news to their sect?"

Zheng Wei remained silent for a long time and then said slowly: "You are right, I told Du Xianshi about this matter. Wang Xuquan of the Jiangdong Intelligence Point wrote the matter in a dossier and submitted it. I thought it was weird. , and informed Du Xianshi."

"Do you know that you are a disciple of the Demon Sect who was manipulated by Tang Xianzhi?"

"I don't know the specific plot, but after reading the file he submitted, I knew that the matter was not that simple, so I told Du Xianshi."

"Why did you do that?"

Zheng Wei smiled bitterly: "What else can I do? Do you think I am jealous of him and deliberately retaliate?"

"Why exactly?" She guessed that it was Du Yuankai who informed Zheng Wei about this matter. She originally thought that Zheng Wei heard the gossip in the intelligence station, became jealous, and took advantage of the factional fighting within the Qianyi Sect to retaliate against Tang Ning. Now it seems That's not the case.

Zheng Wei said: "Since you have said that the rumors about the intelligence station are false and you have nothing to do with him, how could I not believe you? Besides, there is no need for you to lie to me."

"The reason why I told Du Xianshi about this was because he asked me to do so. When Du Xianshi resigned as chief, he came to me specifically and asked me to keep an eye on Tang Xianshi's actions and report any abnormalities to him. "

"What else can I do?"

"This is their internal struggle. From the beginning, Du Xianshi has been guarding against Tang Xianshi. The moment Tang Xianshi was investigated and interrogated, I knew that they had already grasped this handle. They had been holding on to it for a long time. To play is to wait for the most critical moment to play. "

"I was only ordered to report Tang Xianshi's suspicious behavior to Du Xianshi. As for the tip-off, I didn't know anything about the secret manipulation of Demon Sect disciples. It was secretly investigated by them internally."

Xu Qingwan said: "Thank you for telling me."

Zheng Wei smiled bitterly: "Tang Xianshi was arrested and imprisoned, you won't blame me!"

"I just want to know the cause and effect of the matter. How can I blame you?"

Zheng Wei said: "They monks in the sect are the most cunning and cunning, and they do this to their own people, let alone us outsiders. Whether it is Du Xianshi or Tang Xianshi, although they use us, they have never used us. Really believed in us.”

"Wan'er, there's something I've always wanted to say, just because I'm afraid you'll think I'm a quarrel and have a villain's heart. Since I've said it here today, let's break it down!"

"I know that you have a good relationship with Tang Xianshi. You may be sincere towards him, but he has never been sincere towards you. People like them will not treat others with sincerity, especially us casual cultivators."

Xu Qingwan remained silent.

Zheng Wei said: "Actually, I know that I have always been monitored by others. Whether it was when Tang Xian was in charge or Du Xian was in charge, they were all secretly monitoring me."

"Once I make any slight move, they may kill me without hesitation, including you."

"To be honest, I have long been tired of my days at the intelligence station. If it weren't for you, maybe I would have flown far away and found an opportunity to leave Xingang."

Xu Qingwan said: "Brother Zheng, if you are really fed up, just leave! There is no need to stay here for me."

Zheng Wei shook his head and said nothing.
