Chronicles of Celestial Origins

A few days passed by in the blink of an eye, and when it was time for the ministry to discuss matters, Tang Ning left the cave and came to the meeting hall at Zhongzhi Peak.

Inside, Zhang Yan, Wei Xian, and Zhao Liheng were already seated. The three of them nodded to him. Tangning returned the greeting one by one and took her seat in the first seat on the left.

At about tea time, Lu Guang came in from the outside, sat down on the main seat, and said: "Yesterday, there was a meeting of the ministry in the courtyard. Master Tong announced the news of the resignation of the head, and the new head will be selected on the twelfth day. It will be held on the 30th day of the lunar month, and it is currently confirmed that only Master Luo Qingshui from Xuande Hall and Master Shi Ming from Qingxuan Hall will participate in the selection of the headmaster."

"The sect requires all the department managers to be present as much as possible for the selection of head teachers. Junior Brother Zhao, when you go back, immediately send a message to Junior Brother Du and Junior Brother Wu to inform them of the news and ask them to arrive before December 30th. Let’s go back to the sect and participate in the selection of the leader. As for Junior Sister Xu, it’s too late to come back from Qiyuan Island.”

"Yes." Zhao Liheng responded.

"The former captain of the first team of the operation failed to attack the foundation and unfortunately died. I propose that Wang Yuan, a disciple of the first team, be the captain. What do you juniors think?"

Everyone has no objection.

"Okay, Junior Brother Zhang, you can go and announce the appointment later! Junior Brothers, if you have nothing else to do, this discussion will end here!"

Everyone left the hall one after another, turning into light and leaving.

At nightfall, Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the cave, when the storage bag around his waist suddenly shook. He took out the array disk, took the talisman into his hand, and then left the room in a flash.

A round-faced man stood outside. It was Zhang Zhengyang, Fang Xiaoyuan's disciple. When he saw Tang Ning escape from the light, he quickly bowed and saluted: "Disciple pays homage to my uncle. My master invites my uncle to come over to pay a visit."

Tang Ning nodded slightly, the light flew up, and she came to Fang Xiaoyuan's cave with him.

"Junior Brother Tang is here, please take a seat." Fang Xiaoyuan stood up to greet him, and the two sat opposite each other.

Tang Ning said, "I don't know why Senior Brother Fang called me?"

Fang Xiaoyuan said: "Yesterday, all the palaces made public the news of the master's resignation. What about the family teacher? I don't know what Junior Brother Tang is planning?"

Tang Ning said: "Although I am an inspector, I am still powerless in the Intelligence Department. The power of the department is in the hands of Senior Brother Lu. He has been in charge of affairs in the Intelligence Department for many years, and many of the new managers are his people. Nowadays, Among the three managers in the sect, only Junior Brother Zhao Liheng agrees with me. I have talked with him a few days ago and I think there is no big problem. "

"The other two have a close relationship with Senior Brother Lu and it is difficult to persuade them. Among the other two managers stationed abroad, one has an unclear position and may be able to win over. I will talk to him after he returns."

Fang Xiaoyuan nodded and said: "Then please leave it to Junior Brother Tang. Apart from the monks in your headquarters, if Junior Brother Tang has anyone you know well, you can also try to win over them, especially the monks from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Yuan Yidian."

"Please give me some advice, Senior Brother Fang."

Fang Xiaoyuan said: "Of the three halls and three courtyards, Master Tong from the Secret Academy supports Master Shi, and Master Cheng from the Foreign Affairs Academy supports Master Shi."

"From the news these days, Yin Qingyuan seems to be more interested in which side he prefers. Only Uncle Jiang from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Uncle Peng from the Yuanyi Palace have not expressed their opinions, and their attitudes are unclear."

"This has led to most of the facial department officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and His Highness Yuan Yi just waiting and watching, and there are many who hold a neutral attitude. This is a force we must fight for."

"I know that Junior Brother Tang, you were born in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in your early years. You should have many acquaintances there! I hope that Junior Brother will spare no effort to travel more, build relationships, and gain more support for my master."

Tang Ning said: "Although I spent some time in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in my early years, I served in the Herbal Medicine Department. It was a small department with only one Foundation Establishment monk. In addition, I was only a Qi Refining disciple at the time, so Get to know each other well with other department managers.”

"There are only one or two acquaintances. The current deacon of the Herbal Medicine Department and I had some contacts in the early years, but we haven't met each other for many years. Since Senior Brother Fang said so, then I will pay him a visit!"

Fang Xiaoyuan said: "Junior Brother Tang is willing to do his best, and Fang is very grateful."

The two talked for a long time before Tangning left.

………………………………

The next day, he came to a cave in the Herb Division, waved his hand, and the talisman sank into the room.

Not long after, the thick fog rolled in, and a ray of light flashed out from inside, revealing the figure of a tall, thin, middle-aged man, who was Guo You, the deacon of the Herbal Medicine Department.

Back then, when he was selling elixirs in the Herbal Medicine Department, he often dealt with him. The two of them also participated in the sect's competition together. However, Guo You only had the seventh level of Qi Refining at that time and was eliminated early.

"Senior Brother Tang, why are you here? You are such a rare visitor." Guo You said with a smile on his face.

"Junior brother Guo, I haven't seen you for decades. You have successfully established your foundation and become the deacon of the Herbal Medicine Department. How gratifying it is!"

"How can I, a deacon, be worth mentioning? It's just that there are no tigers in the mountains and the monkeys are the overlords. Senior Brother Tang is the one with the real reputation. I often tell the disciples below that you are from our herb family, so that they don't neglect their practice. "

Tang Ning smiled slightly and said, "Junior brother Guo is hiding a beauty in the golden house, and is reluctant to let me see her beauty."

Guo You slapped his forehead and said: "Look at me, a distinguished guest is here, but he is at a loss and forgets the etiquette. Please come in quickly."

The two of them entered the cave and sat down in a living room as guest and host.

"Senior Brother Tang has not been back to our herb garden for many years. Nowadays, the number of people in the herb department is getting thinner and thinner. In the past, each of us managed one herb garden, but now one person manages two."

Tang Ning said with emotion: "It has been a few years. Although the Herb Department is small, it is quiet and comfortable. To be honest, I sometimes miss the life in the Herb Department. There are no seductions and fights, and I don't have to worry about things all day long. I am happy and carefree." Being free and surrounded by exotic flowers and plants every day, the so-called blessed land and paradise are nothing more than this!"

"Senior Brother Tang is joking. Who doesn't know that you are now a highly valued figure in the sect. How can golden scales be something in the pond? Only people like us have to live with these flowers and plants."

As soon as Guo You finished speaking, footsteps sounded outside. A graceful woman came in carrying a tray, placed it on the desk next to Tang Ning, lightly opened her red lips and said, "Uncle Tang, please use it."

"This is my little girl Guo Rongrong." Guo Xun said.

Tangning flipped her hand, took out a green and red flying sword, handed it to her and said, "It's the first time we meet, so I haven't prepared a gift yet, so let's just use this flying sword as a meeting gift!"

Guo Rongrong was hesitating when Guo You said: "Since it is a gift from your uncle Tang, just accept it!"

"Yes, thank you, uncle." Guo Rongrong responded, took the sword, and slowly withdrew.

"Senior Brother Tang must have come to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason! Is there anything I need to help you with?"

Tang Ning said: "Actually, it's not that important. I came here on a whim. First, I want to ask Junior Brother Guo for some medicinal herbs. Recently, I want to try to refine some vitality pills, but I still lack a few pairs of the main medicine. Second, I want to ask Junior Brother Guo for some medicinal herbs. , I have nothing to do, so I came to see Junior Brother Guo Xianxu."

"This is an easy matter. You can come and get as many herbs as you want, Senior Brother Tang, at any time. Just don't resell them like you did before."

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Tang Ning said: "I was young and ignorant at that time. Fortunately, my sect did not have the same experience as me. Now that I think about it, I still feel a little scared. Junior brother, please don't mention it again. By the way, junior brother, have you heard about the recent news that the head of the family has abdicated?"

"Every palace and courtyard has been notified, how could you not know?"

"The election of the new head is about to take place. Currently, only Master Luo and Master Shi are participating in the election. When the time comes, you and I will have to go to Qianxing Hall to cast our votes. I don't know who does Junior Brother prefer between these two Masters? "

Guo You smiled and said: "I am just the deacon of a herb garden. I am a low-key person. I can't interfere in matters like the leader's choice."

"Junior brother, what you said is wrong. It is your and my duty to choose the leader. It is also the law of the sect. Since you and I are disciples of the sect, we should select capable and virtuous people to take the position of the leader."

Guo You said: "According to Senior Brother Tang, who should have both virtue and ability?"

Tang Ning said: "It's not me, Tang, who is talking about right and wrong behind your back. Junior Brother Guo should know that when I was suddenly ordered to withdraw from the competition during the sect competition, it was actually the man from Qingxuan Palace who was behind this, and it was the person who replaced me. His disciple Sun Chen Da."

"With his dignity as the master of Qingxuan Palace, he actually bullied a junior Qi refiner, which is really disgraceful. That day in Qianxing Palace, in order to force me to say something that violated the rules of the competition, he personally cut off one of my legs. Such behavior, Can it be said to be virtuous?”

"Nowadays, the demon sect is plundering and looking at our sect. It is always ready to swallow up Xingang. At this time of crisis, it is even more necessary for capable people to take charge of the sect. Although the master of Qingxuan Palace has good cultivation, he is still weak. If he takes the position Master, I’m afraid people will laugh at me because I have no one in my sect.”

"Even the leader of the Demon Sect is a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, and our dignified Xuanmen can't even choose a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. What do the cultivating families who are waiting and watching think?"

"The leader not only needs to handle the affairs of the sect well, but also is the face of the sect. With all due respect, the name of Shi Ming Sui Shishu is a bit ugly."

Guo You said: "What Senior Brother Tang said is reasonable, but the major issues of the sect are beyond my ability to decide. I have listened to Senior Brother's words. As for which one is better between the two, I still have to consider it."

Tangning didn't expect him to express his position right away, so she said, "I'm going to have to tell my junior brother these heartfelt words today. I hope they can be kept secret and not spread to outsiders."

"understand."

"Which department does your daughter serve in now?" Tangning changed the subject and brought up the family affairs of her children. The two chatted for a while, then left the cave together and went to the herb garden to pick up some second-level herbs.

Tang Ning said goodbye to Guo You, and not long after leaving, she came to the Danyao Department Cave to visit Mu Pingbo.

After chatting for a few words, he went straight to the topic and tested Mu Pingbo's attitude. Then he pointedly pointed out that Shi Mingsui was immoral and incompetent and was not qualified for the position of head teacher.

Mu Pingbo, like Guo Xun, just dealt with it politely and did not express his position.

Tang Ning didn't expect their clear-cut promises. She was just blowing the air and trying her best. After talking about this, he turned to other topics, chatted for a while and then left.
