Chronicles of Celestial Origins

A few days passed by. Tang Ning and Xu Mengyuan, led by the attic monks, boarded the Fengling Ship heading for Yuanxian County. They crossed countless rivers and mountains and traveled for more than a month before finally arriving at Yuanxian City.

The two of them walked to the column station and after asking about the location of Bai Jintang's cave, they went straight there. Tang Ning waved her hand and handed a talisman inside.

Not long after, the thick fog dispersed, and a figure emerged from inside. It was a twenty-year-old boy with red lips and white teeth, a handsome face, and a middle-stage Jindan cultivation level. He bowed his head and said, "Uncle, please come in." "

When Tang Ning saw how young he looked, she glanced at him twice.

The young man turned around as if he hadn't seen him. After bowing, he turned around and walked straight inside. The two of them followed him, turned around several alleys, and arrived at the main room.

The young man pushed the door open and entered, bowing to Bai Jintang who was sitting cross-legged on a futon inside: "Fourth Uncle, they are here."

"Disciple pays homage to Master Bai." Xu Mengyuan took the lead in saluting, followed closely by Tang Ning: "Disciple pays homage to Master Bai."

"No need to be polite, sit down!" Bai Jintang smiled.

The two took their seats as instructed.

"Yun'er, go and pour two cups of tea to serve the two guests." Bai Jintang ordered.

"Yes." The boy next to him responded.

"When my disciple heard that his uncle was appointed to the headquarters column, he always wanted to visit him, but he was afraid of disturbing his purity. He had nothing to do these days, and when he came to see his junior brother Tang for a drink and a chat, he knew that his uncle had arrived in Yuanxian County and he must come to visit him. The disciple came with him and took the liberty of making trouble. I hope Master Shu will not be surprised," Xu Mengyuan said.

Bai Jintang smiled and waved his hand: "Senior Brother Fang and I are old friends. There is no need to be so polite. It shows your sincerity that you come all the way to visit me. You can come and walk around more if you have nothing to do in the future. I first arrived here and I don't have many old acquaintances. I originally wanted to meet Senior Brother Fang, but I never had time. If I have a chance someday, I will pay him a visit in person. "

"The disciple must tell the master to wait for the arrival of the master. The master originally wanted to go with him, but he is busy with worldly affairs and has no time to spare, so he asked the disciple to say hello to the master."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Fang, for remembering her. By the way, how about the Xiang family girl you met last time in Donglai City? Is the matter settled?"

"The idea is that after the baby is born, the formal agreement will be made. At that time, we will have to go to Beihai County to meet the elders of the Xiang family and obtain their consent."

"What do you think? What is that woman's temperament like? Is she still to your liking?"

"To be honest, Uncle Master, my disciple has only met her a few times and spoken to her less than ten times in total. I really don't know her true nature."

Bai Jintang sighed slightly, seeming to be quite emotional: "Hey, we need to communicate more! Although we are in-laws appointed by our respected masters, it is a matter of life for us, so we need to understand each other more, at least to get it right. You can only live your life if you don’t hate the other person.”

"The reason why so many Taoist couples in the spiritual world end up not having any contact with each other, or even turning against each other, is because they didn't know each other before and they quickly became Taoist couples. If two people with completely different personalities have been together for a long time, conflicts are inevitable. "

"Although we monks have different attitudes toward marriage than ordinary people, the essence of human interaction remains the same, not to mention such an intimate relationship."

"I think the elders in the clan also chose a marriage partner for me, but I refused to agree, and finally let it go."

"You still have to make your own decisions about this kind of thing. Even if you offend someone, it doesn't matter. Some relationships can be repaired slowly, while some relationships are difficult to recover once broken. You should master some of the subtleties here by yourself."

Xu Mengyuan said: "Master's uncle's golden and wise words will be remembered by my disciples."

While the two were talking, the young man came back and pushed the door open. Holding a jade plate in his hand, he handed a cup of tea to Xu Mengyuan: "Uncle, please."

Xu Mengyuan took the tea and thanked her. The young man handed another cup to Tang Ning and then stood behind Bai Jintang with a low eyebrow.

"That's it! We all have to learn from Tang Ning and find someone who knows everything about him. You see, Master Nephew Liu and he are separated in two places and have been separated for so many years, but they are still on good terms with each other. It shows that they have a deep affection for each other." Bai Jintang said with a smile. .

When Tang Ning heard this, her face remained calm, but her heart sank. She felt that there was something in his words and that he meant something.

"Yes! Junior Brother Tang has such a virtuous wife, he is really envious of others."

Tang Ning said, "It's all thanks to you. Otherwise, I don't know how I would have had the chance to join our sect while living in a deep ravine."

"I don't have that much ability. I just acted according to orders. At most I ran a few errands and used some spare energy to build bridges."

The three of them chatted for a long time. Seeing that the time was about to come, Xu Mengyuan flipped his hands over and took out an exquisite wooden box. He gave it to Bai Jintang with both hands and said, "This is what my master asked me to bring to you. Please don't refuse me. I won’t disturb Uncle Qingxiu any more. I’ll take my leave now and come back to visit Uncle next time I have a chance.”

Bai Jintang nodded slightly, and the young man behind him stepped forward and took the wooden box in his hand.

Seeing this, Tang Ning also stood up and said, "Disciple also bids farewell."

"Wait a minute, I have something to talk to you about."

Seeing this, Xu Mengyuan went straight out of the room.

"I don't know what my uncle has ordered?" Tang Ning knew that he left her alone because of Liu Ruhan's affairs, and she felt a little uneasy, fearing that he would have the same attitude as Su Yuanhua.

He had been thinking about this when he came here, and now that it was finally on the table, his heart felt heavy, as if a big stone was hanging on it.

"When I was in Donglai City, I heard Yuan Hua talk about your meeting and conversation. According to what he said, you agreed to his proposal and promised not to see Master Nephew Liu again. Is this true?" Bai Jintang asked straight to the point. road.

After hearing this, Tang Ning immediately bowed to the ground and bowed down: "You are as kind as a mountain to this disciple, and I dare not lie to you. The reason why I agree to his request is because I have no choice but to do so."

"In the situation that day, the disciple was afraid that if he spat out the word "no", he would be wiped out in an instant. With his status, it would be impossible to crush him to death within a matter of seconds."

"And he clearly states that he has a hundred ways to make his disciples die for the sect reasonably without taking any responsibility or risks. The disciples are forced to make false promises."

"After I separated from my wife, there was not a day that went by that I didn't think about meeting her again and sharing a family relationship. How could I make an unreasonable promise not to see each other again for the rest of my life? This kind of love can be learned from heaven and earth. If there is a false statement, the disciple will not be well. die."

"I beg my great uncle to show great mercy and pity the hardship of the disciple and his wife, so that the disciple can be reunited with his wife."

Tangning, just say it! Prostrate to the ground.

This was his last chance, and he could only choose to fight hard. If he didn't tell the truth and just nodded in agreement, he would not only lose all the support of Nangong Muxue and his family, but he would also find it difficult to meet Liu Ruhan again in the future.

Su Yuanhua's attitude was very clear, that is, he opposed his meeting with Liu Ruhan. In other words, they wanted to draw a clear line with themselves and did not recognize him as a part of their faction's power structure.

Although Nangong Muxue did not hear her explicit stance, she at least acquiesced in it. According to Su Yuanhua, she supported this approach.

Therefore, Bai Jintang is the only high-level person he can win over who has the right to speak in Nangong Muxue's faction, although his cultivation level is far inferior to Nangong Muxue, and even not as good as Su Yuanhua.

But as Nangong Muxue's fellow junior fellow student, his status is such that even Su Yuanhua has to respectfully call him uncle, so he can definitely talk to Nangong Muxue.

As for whether it can affect Nangong Muxue's attitude, no one knows.

And this was already the last straw that Tang Ning could grasp.

Therefore, he had to take a gamble and bet that Bai Jintang and Su Yuanhua had different attitudes towards this matter.

Logically speaking, the relationship between the two of them should be very close, but no matter how close the relationship is, people will have differences. Everyone in the world is an independent individual with independent personality, thoughts, habits, and hobbies.

Even father and son will have different opinions on the same thing, let alone master and apprentice, or brothers.

Judging from his words and deeds, Su Yuanhua should be a kind-hearted and profit-seeking type of person.

It can be seen from the fact that he separated from his wife. Just because his wife's cultivation did not keep up with his footsteps, he decisively abandoned her like a worn-out shoe and never saw her again for the rest of her life, just like throwing away an old piece of clothing.

The euphemistic name is used to leave a good impression worth remembering for both parties.

This is how ruthless people are.

He was not surprised at all that he could say something that told him to stay away from Liu Ruhan and stay together forever, because that was what he had done.

Such people only have interests in their eyes, and talking about friendship with them is just playing the piano to others.

But Bai Jintang may not have such thoughts. When he was in the Qingzhou Allied Forces, Tang Ning had followed him for a period of time and observed his behavior. He was honest and sincere, and he was also courteous in his treatment of others, and he had the demeanor of a gentleman.

Therefore, Tang Ning went to great lengths to reveal her true feelings, just to gain Bai Jintang's support.

This is a big gamble. As the saying goes, a stranger cannot be close. He is actually breaking a taboo here by secretly informing Su Yuanhua. Although Bai Jintang has helped him several times, how can it compare to the relationship between him and Su Yuanhua? Relationship.

If the two of them had reached an agreement, then his heartfelt words would have turned out to be contradictory.

If he told Su Yuanhua what he said, he might be killed suddenly and inexplicably one day.

The reason why Tang Ning asked Bai Jintang for help was not just a sudden thought, but a matter of careful consideration. He had already thought about it before meeting Bai Jintang again.

If Bai Jintang keeps silent about this matter, then he will pretend that nothing happened and look for another opportunity in the future.

If he takes the initiative to talk about this matter, that is his opportunity, and he must give it a try no matter what.
