Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Chapter 869: Making things difficult for others (4)

In Xianyun Mountain, in the majestic and majestic hall, several senior officials of the Chen family gathered together. The leader of the Chen family was Chen Xuan. Below, Chen Zhan stood, reporting to the senior monks of the Chen family about the development of Tianyue Pavilion City. encounter.

"Su Ting left me alone in the room and said that Wei Yu, the woman who escaped from Chunfeng Pavilion last time, her cousin Wei Chen is an old acquaintance of Fang Yuan, the head of Taixuan Sect's station in this pavilion."

"Wei Chen is currently in the Xinyin Sect. He wants me to bring a message to the head of the family. This matter needs to be explained."

"While we were talking, Chen Yu and others had a conflict with the Xinyin Sect disciples outside. It was the Xinyin Sect disciples who teased us first and took the lead."

"After that, Su Ting imprisoned everyone and his attitude was very tough. He only let me come back to report to the family head."

"Who is this Wei Yu?" asked a gray-haired man below.

"It's a female cultivator who was accompanying Chunfeng Pavilion. She was captured and disposed of secretly after defecting."

"Where's Wei Chen?"

"I have never heard of this person before, and I don't know where he came from. Su Ting said he was his cousin, but I don't know whether he is true or not."

Chen Xuan pondered: "This matter is not simple. The Heart Sound Sect is obviously targeting us. I suspect that Fang Yuan is behind this matter."

Another middle-aged man with a pale face frowned and said: "Why does Taixuanzong deal with us? There has always been no grudge between us and them in the past, and there is no enmity in the recent past. The water in the well does not offend the river."

"Earlier, Fang Yuan asked me for a Thousand-Year Blood and Bone Flower, but I didn't give it to him. I guess it was because of this incident that he held a grudge, so he instigated the Xin Yin Sect to deal with us."

Just as Chen Xuan finished speaking, a man with a big face and big ears hurried in from outside and saluted: "Master, our monks stationed at the Xuyu Mountain Spirit Beast Field were expelled by the disciples of the Qianjia Sect. They said that we had been The rent for several years has not been paid, so the land needs to be taken back.”

"I understand, you go ahead!" Chen Xuan's face darkened and he waved his hand.

"The person who untied the bell must also tie the bell. Since the matter happened to Fang Yuan, I think we should talk to him. Although our Chen family is not a big family, there is no need to be so fancy about a thousand-year-old blood and bone flower." His temples were gray. The man looked at Chen Xuan and said.

"He wants the Blood Bone Lotus this time, but next time he wants the Spirit Mine! Are we going to give it up too? Today the Taixuan Sect comes to ask for it, and tomorrow the Mirror Moon Sect comes to ask for it. Day after day, how can there be an end? ?" Before Chen Xuan could speak, another man said: "Tolerance is not the way to go. Only when you stand straight will others be afraid of you. That's all.

"The key to whether you have a strong waist is whether you have a strong foundation. Do we have the capital to oppose Taixuanzong? Are the connections and resources they can mobilize comparable to us? Even if we turn to those wealthy families, They won’t care about such a trivial matter.”

"Of course we don't have the ability to fight against Tai Xuan Zong, but Fang Yuan cannot represent Tai Xuan Zong. In the final analysis, this is just his personal private matter. Compromising with him now is equivalent to putting out the fire with salary. If the new is not extinguished, the fire will be Not enough.”

Everyone said one word after another.

……………

The moon was high and the stars were shining brightly. Tangning was sitting cross-legged in the room, pouring water into her body.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he flipped his hands. The storage bag swelled up in the wind, and he put away the mother clams on the stone table. Not long after, footsteps sounded outside, and then there was a knock on the door.

Tang Ning stood up and opened the wooden door of the room. Standing outside the room was a fair-faced man, who was the disciple on duty in front of the hall, Zhang Yang.

"Senior Brother Tang, Uncle Fang invites you to meet at the meeting hall."

"I don't know why?"

"I don't know. I was just ordered to come here to summon you. By the way, the head of the Chen family just came to visit."

"Understood." Tangning nodded, and soon she arrived at the meeting hall.

Inside, Fang Yuan was sitting in the high seat, and Chen Xuan was accompanying him below. The two of them were smiling and chatting.

"Uncle Master." Tang Ning stepped forward and bowed.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, this is Tang Ning, a disciple of the brigade directly under our headquarters. You have met before when we were in your mansion. He is a close associate of Uncle Huang Yuan, the commander of the brigade directly under our headquarters and the head of the brigade directly under the headquarters. This time he was ordered to come to buy the goods from fellow Taoist Blood and Bone Flower," Fang Yuan introduced.

"Junior has met Senior Chen." Tang Ning turned around and bowed her head.

Chen Xuan smiled and said: "Last time my brother went away and didn't come back, I made fellow Taoist Fang's trip in vain, and I felt very sorry. A few days ago, after my brother returned, I talked to him about this matter, and he readily agreed. Knowing that the senior noble sect wanted this very urgently, I did not dare to delay, so I set out that night to deliver it myself."

"Fellow Daoist Chen was so sincere and desperate to save others that he was truly chivalrous. My uncle and I will never forget it."

Chen Xuan flipped his hand and took out a black, simple wooden box engraved with talismans, and handed it to Fang Yuan: "The Thousand-Year Blood and Bone Flower is here. Please check it, fellow Taoist."

Fang Yuan took the wooden box, opened it and took a look, only to see a foot-sized red lotus blooming inside, surrounded by a rich aura of spiritual energy.

"I wonder how much this Pearl Blood Bone Lotus is worth?"

"It's just a cheap thing, not worth a lot of money. Since it is needed by the senior noble sect, it can only be regarded as a little bit of consideration for the junior. Why talk about profit?"

Fang Yuan nodded slightly, put away the wooden box, glanced at Tang Ning, and signaled.

Tang Ning understood, took out a storage bag, and handed the salary to Chen Xuan with both hands: "This is the spiritual stone that Master Huang's uncle gave to this junior to buy the Blood and Bone Flower. The junior found out that the senior happened to have one in his hand, so he found the way. Uncle Master, I want to see you, senior."

"Uncle Huang doesn't know how much the Thousand-Year Blood Bone Lotus is worth. Before leaving, he specifically told me, if you have more spiritual stones, don't haggle with the seller and just make up for the difference in price."

"If the spiritual stone is insufficient, you must tell him, and the remaining price will be paid next time."

"Senior, please check whether the spirit stone is worth the blood and bone flower. If it is not enough, I will make one more trip and replenish the price difference to my senior."

Chen Xuan smiled and said: "Senior Huang is fair, and Chen admires it. In fact, why would you care so much about a mere blood-bone flower? If I had known that Senior Huang would need it, I would have given it to him personally with just one sentence."

"Although the Chen family is not a big sect, they can still get a blood-bone flower. Besides, if ordinary people want to show courtesy to Senior Huang, they still haven't had the chance!"

"It is Chen's honor to be able to help Senior Huang. I dare not accept the spirit stone. Please keep it, fellow Taoist Tang. When you return to see Senior Huang the next day, please pass on a message for me."

"If you have free time in the future, when passing by Tianyue Pavilion, please condescend to visit my house so that Chen can have the opportunity to fulfill his friendship as a landlord."

"Of course, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will go and see Senior Huang."

Tangning looked at Fang Yuan and saw him nodding slightly, so she put away her storage bag and said, "Junior, I will definitely bring the words here."

Fang Yuan said: "fellow Taoist Chen, it's rare for you to come here and solve such an urgent matter for me. If it weren't for fellow Taoist and your brother Gao Yi, I really don't know how to explain to Master Huang? I have to stay here today no matter what." , let’s get drunk and then rest.”

"Then I will disturb fellow Taoist Fang."

"Come here." Fang Yuan called out, and Zhang Yang, the disciple on duty, came in from the outside and bowed and saluted: "Master, what are your orders?"

"Go and prepare a banquet. I want to have a drink with fellow Taoist Chen."

"Yes." Zhang Yang took the order and left.

Chen Xuan said: "Fellow Taoist Fang, in addition to sending blood lotus flowers to Uncle Guizong, I actually have something else that I would like to ask fellow Taoist to help me with."

"Fellow Daoist Chen, please tell me that you have helped me so much. I will try my best to do whatever I can."

"A few days ago, several disciples of our government had a small conflict with the Xinyin Sect in Tingcheng when they were transporting supplies. Now that people are under their control, I would like to ask fellow Taoists to mediate. The Xinyin Sect is the The sect organization doesn’t take the Chen family seriously, but it has to give Fellow Daoist Fang this face!”

"Oh? Is this happening?" Fang Yuan frowned slightly: "When the monks of your mansion clashed with the disciples of the Xinyin Sect, were there any casualties on both sides?"

"It was just a verbal conflict, without any casualties. When the law enforcement monks from the Xinyin Sect in Tingcheng arrived, our government personnel cooperated with them. They are now being detained for investigation. The Xinyin Sect also detained one of our merchant ships because of this."

"As long as there are no casualties, it will be much easier to handle. I will go and talk to Headmaster Wei in the future. I think he will give me some sympathy."

"Thank you so much, fellow Taoist Fang. By the way, one more little thing. I heard that Wei Chen is an old acquaintance of fellow Taoist?"

Fang Yuan said: "That's what happened. I had met him several times earlier. He came to me and told me in tears what happened to his sister Wei Yu, begging me to seek justice for him."

"When a poor person came to seek refuge with me, I couldn't stay thousands of miles away from him, so I brought him to the Heart Sound Sect."

Chen Xuan said: "Wei Yu is a monk in our attic and signed a contract with us. However, he went back on his promise, violated the previous agreement, and injured a monk in our house, so he ran away."

"Our monks captured him and encountered fierce resistance. During the fight between the two sides, his skills were inferior to others, so he lost his life. This was not intentional."

"Now that Wei Chen has found fellow Taoist, from the perspective of fellow Taoist, how should this matter be resolved?"

"What I mean is to turn a big thing into a trivial matter, and turn it into a trivial matter. That's it! Let me comfort Wei Chen again. After all, people cannot be resurrected after death! By the way, this Wei Yu is a monk of your noble family, and he was harmed by the children of your noble family. The government has some responsibilities, let’s sit down and talk about it someday.”

"Everything follows the arrangements of fellow Taoist."

After the serious talk, the two started chatting again. About a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Yang came in from outside and saluted: "Uncle, the banquet is ready."

"Fellow Daoist Chen, please!" Fang Yuan stood up and said.

The group of people left the main hall and disappeared into hiding.
