Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"That's it." Xiao Mobai nodded slowly.

"Brother Xiao, are you willing to continue to be a piece of meat that is slaughtered by others, a lost dog that runs away in a hurry? Or are you willing to fight back with us, break this turbid world, and restore a bright and clear sky to the world? Now, it is you who makes the choice. It's time."

Xiao Mobai was silent for a long time: "Let me think twice about this matter."

Zhang Xuanye said: "We never force others, and I believe you will definitely choose to join us."

Xiao Mobai remained silent.

Zhang Xuanye said: "This matter ends here. I hope today's conversation will only stop here. I also hope that Brother Xiao can keep this secret for us. After all, our organization is still in the stage of secret development for the time being, and we don't want to kill everyone." Everyone knows, not to mention that Wang Daoyou’s identity is special. If it is leaked, Xuanmen may be disadvantageous to him. "

Xiao Mobai said: "Brother Zhang, you can rest assured. You two have been kind to me. Xiao is definitely not a treacherous and ungrateful person. I swear on my personal honor that I will never reveal even a single bit of what happened today."

Wang Xianye smiled and said: "We certainly trust Fellow Daoist Xiao. To be honest with you, we have been observing you for three years and have unanimously agreed to invite you to join our organization. That's why we are honest and honest with you."

Zhang Xuanye said: "I don't know where Brother Xiao wants to go in the future. If there is anyone who needs our help, it's okay, we will do our best to help."

Xiao Mobai said: "Several other brothers in my fishing team are still under the clutches of Xuanmen. I have to try to rescue them first, and then decide whether to stay or stay. If your organization can help, Xiao will be grateful. All."

Zhang Xuanye said: "Even if Brother Xiao doesn't say anything about this matter, we will try our best to deal with it secretly. Didn't we say it before? All casual cultivators in the world are our reserve army. Is there any reason to ignore difficulties? But this matter must be considered in the long term. , figure it out slowly.”

"Xuanmen's wanton arrest of large numbers of casual cultivators is actually a means for the disciples below to make money, and they are just waiting for their relatives and friends to redeem them! Therefore, your Taoist friends will not be in danger for the time being, and we must not act too hastily, otherwise it will easily backfire. ”

"When the news subsides, we will redeem people one by one."

……………

In Donglai County City, dozens of monks stand on both sides of the passage below the majestic and majestic city outline.

The entire passage is about ten miles long and two or three miles wide. There is an endless stream of people coming and going in the passage. There is a guard every ten feet on both sides.

Tangning stood outside the city, like a statue, motionless, looking at the people passing by with an expressionless face.

It has been nearly two years since he came to Donglai City, and he usually only practices behind closed doors at the column station. The column was on duty the month before last, and the regiment was assigned to guard the city wall, and their team was assigned to conduct inspections at the entrance below the city wall. Retrieve warships and chariots coming and going.

So we arrived here, standing here like a wooden figure.

In the distance, a thousand-foot-long warship came slowly and slowly docked in front of the city gate. Yan Min glanced at her, and Tang Ning understood, and a man with big ears on the right side flashed, escaping light, and came. On to the warship.

The two opened the cabin door and entered the inner room.

There were more than ten figures standing inside. When they saw the two people entering, some people turned their heads and glanced, while others turned a blind eye. Apparently they had been accustomed to this matter for a long time.

The two of them didn't have any communication with them. They went straight down the cabin to the lowest level. Tangning turned the token in her hand and handed it to a burly middle-aged man in front of the console. She bowed her head and said, "Senior. , we are from the 7th Regiment of the 3rd Column of the 4th Army and are currently responsible for guarding Donglai City. Please show your identity token."

Without looking at the token in his hand, the man flipped over with his left hand, took out a token that was neither gold nor wood and handed it to him.

Tang Ning took the token and entered with her consciousness. Lines of text and pictures appeared in her mind. The man was the deputy captain of the First Legion, Second Column, and Fifth Regiment. His name was Xu Hesheng, a former disciple of the Xianyuan Sect.

After Tangning checked it, she handed the token to the big-eared man next to her.

This is the rule of interrogation, and both people must confirm their identities before they can be released.

"Senior, I'm sorry to bother you, let me say goodbye." After confirming that their identities were correct, the two exited the cabin, jumped up from the light, and returned to the city gate. They nodded slightly to Yan Minyi, indicating that there was no problem.

The Wind Spirit Ship came slowly and passed through the passage.

Not long after, another chariot came from the southwest and stopped in front of the city gate. Within a day, there were at least thousands of warships and chariots coming and going. Everyone was used to this. Yan Min signaled with a glance, Two more people jumped into the air and headed towards the chariot.

The person responsible for the identity retrieval of warships and vehicles is not a fixed person, but a small team takes turns. This is to try to avoid internal and external collusion and allow people with ulterior motives to sneak into the main city.

The days of guarding the city were very boring, but fortunately it was only a short month.

Around this time, three wind spirit boats came from a distance and landed on the city gate. Soon, a group of monks came to the entrance of the city gate. Yan Minyi chatted with the captain of the other party for a few words and completed the handover.

Everyone followed Yan Min as he escaped from the light, came to the city, and gathered in front of a palace. The entire regiment numbered about a thousand people, divided into dozens of teams, and lined up neatly.

Not long after, several figures flashed out of the palace. The leader was Bai Jintang, the captain of the Seventh Regiment, with a handsome face and a slender figure.

There is a man with a leopard head and ape arms on the left side of him, with piercing eyes. He is the team supervisor Zhang Huayu, who was originally a disciple of the Mirror Moon Sect.

There is a man with a fat head and big ears on the right side of him, who looks like he is smiling. He is the deputy captain of the regiment, Feng Yuanzheng, who was originally a disciple of the Hunyuan Sect.

The Mirror Moon Sect and the Hunyuan Sect, one is dominating in Donglai County and the other is in Beihai County. Both are the top Taoist sects in Qingzhou.

In addition to these three people, there are six other stewards in the regiment, namely Sima Yu, Du Mengqi, Ma Xian, Huang Yuan, Xu Tianyuan, Wu Ziyan, and Feng Buping.

These six people all represent different forces behind them.

Among them, Sima Yu belongs to a large family in Donglai County.

Du Mengqi is a disciple of Xuanlin Sect in Jinan County.

Ma Xian is a disciple of Qianxuan Sect in Pingyuan County.

Huang Yuan is a wealthy family in Linzi County.

Xu Tianyuan is a disciple of Canglang Sect in Donglai County.

Wu Ziyan is a disciple of Jibian Sect in Le'an County.

Feng Buping was a disciple of the Yuanlang Sect in Beihai County.

A small coalition gathered all the intertwined forces in Qingzhou. This command configuration can basically be said to be a microcosm of the entire Qingzhou Xuanmen Alliance Army.

From the legions to the brigades and squads, this model is followed. In a team, the captain, supervisor, deputy captain and seven stewards are all composed of different forces.

The entire legion is dominated by these power groups from top to bottom. From the legion commander to the team captain, they are all disciples of Taixuan Sect. The inspectors and deputy captains are also people from other factions.

The remaining seven stewards all represent the strengths and interests of their respective power groups.

On the surface, the entire legion looks as calm as water, without ripples, and in order. In fact, there are undercurrents flowing inside, and everyone is in charge of his own affairs.

…………

Bai Jintang waved his hand, and everyone immediately divided into three teams and jumped onto the three wind spirit ships parked behind the palace. The giant ships burst into light, soared into the sky, and headed toward the southwest.

After walking for most of the day, we returned to the camp where the column was stationed. Everyone went back to their respective teams without mentioning it.

Time passed by in the blink of an eye. At this hour of the day, Tang Ning came out of the room, and soon she arrived in front of a stone palace.

Inside, in the wide hall, under the stone steps, there were several rows of wooden chairs, bustling with more than ten people sitting there. Tang Ning entered the inner room and took a seat in a corner.

As time went by, many people came in one after another and took their seats.

There are a total of twenty-six people in the second team directly under the command. After everyone sat down, it was obvious that they were naturally divided into three factions, which can be described as distinct.

The approximately seven or eight people in the first row under the stone steps are all disciples of the Taixuan Sect, the dozen or so people in the second row are all disciples of the Qianxuan Sect, and the dozen or so people in the third row are all disciples of the Canglang Sect.

The alliance is directly under the leadership of the main team and two deputy teams. The main team is commanded by Bai Jintang, and the two deputy teams are led by the alliance inspector Zhang Huayu and the alliance deputy captain Feng Yuanzheng respectively.

In addition to Bai Jintang, the directly affiliated home team also has two stewards, namely Ma Xian and Xu Tianyuan.

These are the three forces of the main team, and their subordinate monks are all composed of disciples of the three sects.

Around 6 o'clock in the morning, three figures came in from the outside. They were Captain Yan Minyi, Inspector Hu Quan and Deputy Captain Yan Guangsheng.

Hu Quan is a disciple of Qianxuan Sect, and Yan Guangsheng is a disciple of Canglang Sect.

The three of them took their seats, and Yan Min opened his mouth and said: "The new year is approaching, and the former alliance has distributed the salaries to the disciples of each team. Yesterday, Daoyou Hu and Yan Daoyou and I went to the alliance to receive the spirit stones. Now, according to the previous salary, Distributed.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Quan turned his hand, took out several storage bags, and pointed them towards them. The storage bags swelled up in the wind, and hundreds of crystal clear red-red high-grade spiritual stones fell from the inside, and they piled up in one place. .

At the same time, Yan Guangsheng pulled out a file in his hand and said, "Wang Ang, the salary is five hundred and forty spiritual stones."

A man with a chin and a tiger beard stood up in response to the sound, walked to Hu Quan, took the spiritual stones from the mountains of spiritual stones, put them into his storage bag, and then returned to his position.

"Cao Boxuan, salary is six hundred spirit stones." Yan Guangsheng continued to read after he received the spirit stones.

As time passed, everyone received their salary spiritual stones one by one.

It has to be said that Taixuan Sect is indeed one of the four major sects, and the salary treatment of its disciples is completely different from that of Canglang Sect and Jibian Sect.

Taking the late Jindan period as an example, Cao Boxuan and Wang Ang were both disciples of the Taixuan Sect, and their salaries reached five to six hundred high-grade spiritual stones. However, the Canglang Sect and Qianxuan Sect were both monks in the late Jindan period, and their salaries only reached three hundred high-grade spiritual stones.

The difference between them is not that big.

Tang Ning was the last one to receive his salary. Because he was the last person here to join the direct second team, he was listed last.

When Yan Guangsheng shouted out thirty spiritual stones, the expressions on everyone's faces were no less exciting than those of the actors in the theatrical troupe with their heavy makeup. Some were shocked, some laughed, some joked, and some felt pity...
