Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Junior Brother Tang, could it be that he has researched the puppet refining method?" Zhang Ziqing asked curiously.

"I don't know anything about puppets. It's just that the puppets we met just now seem to have unique refining techniques, so I'm a little curious." Tang Ning replied half-truthfully.

The curiosity is real, and the reason why he chose this Thousand Machines and Hundreds of Puppet Techniques is because the puppets produced by it are somewhat similar to the puppets refined by the Soul Transfer Technique in the hell realm. The two may be related in some way. It's unknown, he needs to study it carefully.

The three of them heard what he said and didn't ask any more questions. Zhang Ziqing stepped forward and picked another item. Soon, all the items were divided up. The four of them left the place without stopping for more. The light flew up and returned a few days later. Go to the top of the mountain where we gathered earlier.

It can be said that the treasure hunter made a lot of money this time. Each person got no less than a million from the spiritual stones alone, as well as magic weapons, elixirs, formations and many rare practice materials. The total value is the lowest. There were no less than three or four million, and everyone's face was filled with joy.

Wu Tongming said: "Brother Tang, Brother Zhang, Brother Gu, if we have something to do here, I will go back to the unit first. I am on duty this month and I don't have time to go out, but Brother Zhang invited me, so I complained to the commander of the unit. A few days off, this time, has exceeded the originally agreed time limit, let’s get together again in the future!”

Zhang Ziqing said: "Hey! Brother Wu, it's rare for you to come here once. The three of us brothers haven't gotten together for a long time. Why don't we spend this time and a half to accomplish our merits and gain far beyond our expectations? It's time to celebrate together. Let's stay today. One day, we will not return until we are drunk."

"It's not that I'm refuting Brother Zhang's reputation. I'm just here for the first time in our unit, and I'm being treated lightly. It's my first time on duty. It's inappropriate to ask for leave and go out. If it continues to be delayed, I'm afraid the commander of our unit will have some objections to me. Let's They all work in Xuantang City, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”

"Since Brother Wu insists on going, then fine! We brothers will get together next time if we are destined."

"Farewell." Wu Tongming's figure flashed and turned into a ray of light and left.

"Brother Tang, with your relationship in the Xuantang City headquarters, you must be like a fish in water. If you wander around for a few days, you won't be as careless as Brother Wu! Let's get drunk today."

Gu Zili on the side gave him a slightly surprised look when he heard what he said. Tangning just smiled and nodded. The three of them jumped up and arrived at a loft in Cangyue Pavilion City and asked for a guest room.

In the elegantly decorated room, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras filled the beams. The three of them were drinking while watching beautiful women in colorful costumes dancing. As they pushed glasses and changed cups, they began to call themselves brothers.

"So, Brother Tang and Director Fang are close friends?" Gu Zili leaned forward slightly and raised his glass to drink.

Ever since Zhang Ziqing inadvertently revealed the unclear relationship between Tang Ning and Fang Dasheng, Gu Zili changed his previous arrogance and smiled slightly on his expressionless face. He frequently drank with Tang Ning and greeted her.

Tang Ning also knew from this that Gu Zili turned out to be the inspector of the Second Brigade. No wonder he looked higher than he thought before.

"How could Tang dare to reach such a high level? I just had a few encounters with Chief Fang in the early years. So after arriving at the headquarters, Chief Fang remembered our old friendship, so he paid a little attention to me."

Zhang Ziqing said: "Brother Tang, don't be so humble anymore. Chief Fang not only cares a little about you, but even assigned corresponding duties to the disciples. This shows your status in his heart. To be honest, Brother Yu is really I envy you!"

"You and I joined the sect together and were assigned to Xuantang City together. In less than half a year, you have accumulated fifty merit points, but I am still a commoner. If there is a good opportunity in the future, don't Forget Brother Yu.”

"In other words, if it weren't for Brother Zhang's righteousness this time, how could I have gotten this benefit in my turn? Brother Zhang's friendship is deeply touched by Tang's heart, and he will repay it if he has the opportunity."

The three of them drank wine one after another, calling themselves brothers and sisters, and got very drunk.

The next day, Tang Ning bid farewell to the two of them and took a merchant ship for several days to return to Xuantang City before returning to the Tianniu Mountains.

……………

Above the clear sea, there were no clouds in the sky, and the blue sky was as clear as a wash. Suddenly, huge waves thousands of feet rolled up on the endless sea surface. The huge waves came and went one after another, making it a spectacular sight.

I saw warships emerging from the bottom of the sea. There were about ten or so colorful ships, large and small, stretching for hundreds of miles.

The words Datong are engraved on the flying flags of all warships.

Since occupying Qinghai, the Nether Sea Organization has carried out drastic reforms, including expelling all the cultivating families on the island and establishing a large island for mortals and monks.

All mortals on the more than two hundred islands on the Qinghai Sea were arranged to live on designated islands, and monks were assigned to guard them. Interaction between monks and mortals was strictly prohibited.

Monks can only move around the corresponding cultivation islands, and all cultivation resources on the islands are confiscated and redistributed according to everyone's actual needs.

Due to the limited resources on the cultivation islands above Qinghai, Netherworld Island surrounded the entire Qinghai and used it as a huge breeding industry base.

They divided Qinghai into dozens of areas, put corresponding types of low-level monster eggs in different areas, and then fished and hunted them in a planned way.

Every March is the hunting season. The Qinghai Netherworld Organization will dispatch a large number of manpower to various areas to hunt monsters. Each team has corresponding tasks, which must not only complete the target but also prohibit additional hunting.

During other periods of time, it is the entire fishing ban season in Qinghai, and no one is allowed to hunt.

At this moment, many warships rose into the air from the bottom of the sea, lined up neatly, and rushed towards the northwest.

The side decks of ships of various sizes were dripping with blood and filled with corpses of monsters of all sizes.

On the deck of a wind spirit ship in the middle, Xu Wenruo was recording something with a file in his hand. He was surrounded by more than ten men and women, reporting to him the results of his trip.

"This ship hunted a total of twenty-seven monsters, including one third-order high-grade monster, two third-order low-grade monsters, five second-order high-grade monsters, and eight second-order mid-grade monsters. There were eleven second-level low-level monsters. One hundred and twenty-three shells were used, including 63 third-level shells and 960 second-level shells. In addition, three fellow Taoists in our team were slightly injured." The middle-aged woman spoke.

Xu Wenruo recorded them one by one, nodded with a smile and said: "Everyone has completed the mission very well this time. The injured Taoist friends of each team will be properly arranged by the headquarters. You have been working hard for many days, so go back and rest first!"

Everyone fled away. Xu Wenruo put away the files and turned around and entered the cabin. Everyone in the cabin nodded when they saw him and greeted him. Xu Wenruo nodded in response and walked straight to the cabin at the bottom. In front of the room, he knocked on the stone door.

"Come in." A strong voice came from inside.

Xu Wenruo pushed the door open, took out the file, bowed his head to the burly man sitting cross-legged on the futon, and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, the cost and casualties of this capture have been fully calculated, and I will report to you."

"You don't need to report these matters to me. I can trust you to do your work. Besides, you are also in charge of the department and have the right to make decisions independently." The man waved his hand.

Xu Wenruo smiled and said: "I'm just a false name as a manager. I don't dare to make the decision on many things. If you hadn't come to take charge this time, I wouldn't have been able to successfully complete this mission just by relying on my words."

The man surnamed Jiang smiled slightly, obviously taking advantage of these words: "Don't be humble, you are a person of great merit. When we attacked Jining Island in the Qinghai War, if it weren't for your ability to take advantage of it and destroy the Mu The casualties of the Northern Demon’s defense formation must be more than this.”

"The higher-level organization also values ​​your abilities and rewards for your merits, so it promoted you to this position. Although your cultivation level is a little low, you deserve this position."

Xu Wenruo said: "I don't agree with what Jiang Daoist said. The victory over Jining Island depends entirely on the lives of the soldiers at the front. As for the destruction of the Mubei Demon Defense Formation, it also relies on the planning of superiors and the deployment of fellow Daoists. Xu is just doing his best." How dare you covet the power of heaven."

The man surnamed Jiang smiled and said: "You! You are good at everything, regardless of ability or ability, you are too humble. Sometimes being too humble can make people feel useless, especially in this position, there is no certain guarantee Prestige won’t do.”

"Yes, I will definitely remember your good advice from fellow Daoist Jiang." Xu Wenruo said, "By the way, I heard that the headquarters is sending people to investigate and will be coming to Qinghai soon."

The man surnamed Jiang gave him a thoughtful look: "You are quite proficient in news! What? Do you have any ideas?"

"It is rumored that the purpose of this inspection is to select a monk with excellent qualifications and good performance to go to the Netherworld Sea for further study. Is this true?"

The man surnamed Jiang nodded and said: "Yes, after the Qinghai War, we officially had a place in Qingzhou. Since occupying Qinghai and taking over Donglai County, the organization has developed rapidly, so the good and the bad are mixed, and many people with ulterior motives have mixed in. "

"Not only is it the work of the Xuanmen Chamber of Commerce and the Cultivation Family, but many people join us with a profit-making mentality. Among them are some black sheep and profit-seeking people, which has led to a smoky atmosphere within the organization. It can be said that the world is declining. I heard Is it true that there are cases of people taking advantage of their positions for profit in this department?”

Xu Wenruo said: "Some people have indeed responded to this issue, but they are just based on rumors and hearsay, and there is no concrete evidence."

"How can this work! If we continue like this, won't we be just like those guys from Xuanmen? Hey! I didn't expect that something like this would happen less than a few decades after we occupied Qinghai."

Xu Wenruo said: "I don't think you need to worry too much. The matter is not that serious, it is just a very rare case."

"But there are already signs. The inspection team sent by the headquarters is here for this purpose. On the one hand, it is necessary to select some outstanding, loyal, capable, and well-qualified people in Qingzhou to return to the Netherworld Sea for further study, including promoting a group of low-level monks who have performed well. On the other hand, it is to strictly investigate such situations to avoid losing reputation and disrupting the public morals.”

Xu Wenruo nodded and said: "I wonder if I have a chance to go to the Netherworld Island headquarters to see it?"

The man surnamed Jiang smiled: "If you don't have a chance, who else in this headquarters is qualified? I'll tell you the truth! In the list I submitted to the superior organization, you were the first one, and the inspection team sent by the headquarters also named you. I want to see you."

"You will be their first inspection target. Perhaps the private inspection has already been carried out secretly. If there are no accidents, you will definitely be promoted to the headquarters for further study."

"This is a rare opportunity. I heard privately that the personnel who are studying for further study in this study are for reuse in the future."

"Thank you very much."

"No need to thank me, you deserve it. The superiors have a very good impression of you and think you are a very useful person. If I didn't mention your name, I might think that I have some personal grudge against you! "

The two chatted for a few more words. Xu Wenruo left and returned to his room. He turned his hand and took out a black and simple book. He turned to one of the pages. In his left hand, he used paper and pen to read between the unfinished lines. Continued:

The protagonist is highly regarded by the Netherworld Sea organization for his outstanding performance in the battle of Qinghai. In the upcoming inspection of the headquarters, the protagonist stands out and is successfully selected to study at the headquarters, thereby obtaining more training resources.

When Xu Wenruo wrote this, his pen was still hanging. After thinking for a long time, he finally chose to put down his pen and close the book...
