Chronicles of Celestial Origins

At night, Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the cave. Footsteps were heard outside the room. Chen Xiaofan and others came in from the outside and bowed.

"You're here, sit down!"

"Thank you, Uncle Master." Several people were still seated, and Gao Yuan asked, "Uncle Master, I don't know what you want to do when you call us here?"

"Go to the various departments to report today!"

"yes."

"I have a task for you."

"Please give me your instructions, Uncle Master."

"Everyone in our spiritual mine, including the disciples of the sect, I want you to find out the details of each person, including when they joined the team, in what way, which family they followed, and their family background, etc. The more detailed the better.”

"Yes, disciple understands." The four of them replied in unison.

Tang Ning said: "There is no need to rush this matter. You can take your time. It is best to be gentle and quiet. During the weekdays, you should still focus on the things you are responsible for. In your spare time, just ask around and make inquiries."

"Also, as I said in the meeting hall yesterday, our team will continue to recruit fifteen to twenty people. If you have anyone who is innocent and reliable, you can recommend them to me."

"Yan Qing, please rest here for two days. I will personally send you to Fenggan Mountain to take up a post in a few days."

"Okay, nothing else, you go ahead!"

"Farewell, disciple." Several people left in response.

"Master, when will our supervision department be completed?" Gu Yuanya asked eagerly after seeing off a few people and returning to the room.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I want to help you supervise their work to prevent them from collaborating and fishing in troubled waters."

"Don't worry about these things."

"Didn't you ask me to go to the Supervision Department?"

"That's just an empty shell for you to put up a name for. It's mainly to deal with the higher-ups. Do you really think it can have any effect?"

"Then why did you transfer Huang Qiansheng, the former director of the Guard Hall, to be the director of the supervision department?"

"There is something wrong with this person. I don't want him to be in charge of the Guard Hall anymore, so I gave him a false position."

"Then I'll go to the Finance Hall to help you manage the team's finances! I did the same thing at Fengshui Pavilion. I'm back to my old job. There are many ways to do it here! If no one helps you look after it, they will definitely be Lining their own pockets.”

"That's not necessary, you! Just stay in this cave and practice in peace."

"Master, isn't Senior Sister Yang Yunzhi also in this city? You have brought Senior Brother Chen and others to your side to help, why don't you just bring her here too. Let's all the disciples of Yi Zongyuan gather together to help Aren’t you very good?”

"Chen Xiaofan and the others came here on their own initiative. Yang Yunzhi has done a good job in the fourth brigade. Let's go find her. If she doesn't want to come and refuses without mercy, wouldn't it be difficult for someone to do so? What's more, there are too many Jindan cultivators, so we can't The team’s finances are also a pressure, and having so many people is enough to prevent others from saying that Team 5 is being built into my private kingdom.”

As soon as Tangning finished speaking, the storage bag on his waist trembled. He took out the array plate and fiddled with it, taking the talisman into his hand.

Outside the thick fog, a man with a square face and big ears stood tall. Seeing the thick fog dissipate, he flashed into the inner room, came to the main room, bowed his head and saluted: "Meet Senior Tang."

"what's up?"

"Senior Zhangyu is waiting outside the formation and asked to see you for something."

"Invite him!"

"Yes." The man responded and left.

"Master, who is this Chang Yu?" Gu Yuanya asked curiously.

"The brigade recruits disciples and is responsible for alchemy matters. Yuan Ya, on behalf of the master, go outside to pick him up."

"Oh!" Gu Yuanya turned around and left the room.

Not long after, a bearded man with full cheeks came in from the outside. Tang Ning smiled and stood up to greet him: "Fellow Taoist Zhang, I am a rare visitor. Why did you come to this humble house today? Do you have any advice?"

Zhang Yu bowed his head and returned the courtesy: "I don't dare to bother you. Actually, I have something to trouble fellow Taoist Tang."

"Please take a seat." The two of them sat down separately: "I don't know what's going on?"

"Two monks in our temple were arrested by them because they offended the Xuanye Sect. I am a soft-spoken person and cannot speak in front of the Xuanye Sect, so I would like to ask Fellow Taoist Tang to come forward to resolve this grudge."

Tangning remained calm: "Why did this happen?"

"That's right, the names of these two people are Li Qing and Tang Yuan. The incident was mainly caused by Tang Yuan. At first, he fell in love with a female disciple of Xuanye Sect named Su Wan, but they broke up on bad terms, and then there were The Xuanye Sect disciples came to cause trouble, and the two parties fought, and eventually the two were detained by the Xuanye Sect. "

"Are there any casualties?"

"No."

"What are the cultivation levels of these two people?"

Zhang Yu said: "Li Qing's golden elixir is in the late period, and Tang Yuan's golden elixir is in the middle period. The two of them are specifically responsible for the logistics of the alchemy hall. Didn't we purchase some of the alchemy auxiliary medicines from Xuanye Sect? Tang Yuan is responsible for this aspect, and he and Xuan Ye are in charge of this matter. Su Wan and Ye Zong got together, but then they broke up unhappy. "

"A few days ago, Li Qing and Tang Yuan went out to have fun and had a verbal conflict with several Xuanye Sect disciples, and the two were detained."

"Actually, those Xuanye Sect disciples went specifically to cause trouble for Tang Yuan, and the leader was Senior Brother Su Wan."

"Now Li Qing and Tang Yuan are imprisoned by Xuanye Sect for harming their disciples."

"I inquired and learned that Su Wan is the disciple of Qin Hao, the master of Xuande Hall of Xuanye Sect. I heard that Qin Hao is very protective of his shortcomings and not so reasonable. And I am a low-key person, so I have no choice but to ask Fellow Taoist Tang to intervene."

Tang Ning nodded: "It turns out that the trouble was caused by romantic debts. Are Li Qing and Tang Yuan the monks recruited by the brigade?"

"good."

"Let's do this! Let's go to see Master Chen together, explain the situation to him, and see what they say."

"That's exactly what I meant."

"Without further ado, let's set off now."

"Okay." The two of them had finished their discussion, and then left the cave and flew away in the sky.

…

Xuanye Sect, in the meeting hall, the headmaster Chen Jin came in from the outside with a smile on his face, bowed his head and saluted: "Fellow Taoist Tang, it's been a long time."

Tang Ning stood up and returned the salute: "I'm sorry for disturbing Headmaster Chen."

"Please take a seat."

The three of them took their seats respectively. Chen Jin looked at Zhang Yu: "Who is this fellow Taoist?"

"Headmaster Chen, let me introduce you. This is fellow Taoist monk Zhang Yu who is a recruiter for our brigade. He is responsible for the brigade's alchemy matters in our pavilion."

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Zhang. I've admired it for a long time. I know that your department has a large alchemy hall in Crescent Moon Peak. I guess Fellow Daoist Zhang is in charge!"

"I didn't expect that my humble name would be known to Headmaster Chen. I'm so honored."

The three of them exchanged some pleasantries before Tangning got back to the topic: "Headmaster Chen, I'll tell you the truth. The reason for this intrusion is because two monks recruited from our brigade were imprisoned by your sect. These two monks are responsible for Crescent Moon." Regarding the affairs of the Feng Alchemy Hall, Tang was ordered by the brigade to be responsible for coordinating the affairs of the Alchemy Hall. If something like this happened, it was really difficult to explain it to his superiors. I also asked Headmaster Chen to look at Tang’s shame and release these two people.”

Chen Jin frowned: "Is this happening? I really don't know about it. I don't know who Taoist friend Tang is talking about?"

Zhang Yu said: "These two people are named Li Qing and Tang Yuan. Five days ago, they were arrested by Guizong because of a conflict with Wu Qi, a disciple of Guizong."

"Two fellow Taoists, please wait a moment. Let me summon you and ask. I will tell you who is coming." Chen Jin shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, a man came in from the outside and bowed and saluted: "What are your orders, Master?"

"Go and summon Wu Qi from Xuande Hall Town Office."

"Yes." The man responded and left.

"Don't worry, fellow Taoists, if it is a misunderstanding, our sect will definitely release these two fellow Taoists."

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as a misunderstanding."

"Oh? What does Fellow Taoist Tang mean by this?"

"One of the monks arrested in this department had a relationship with Su Wan, the disciple of Guizong Qin Hao, and eventually broke up on bad terms. I heard that Wu Qinai is senior brother Su Wan? I wonder if it is?"

Chen Jin pondered: "Is there such a thing?"

"I understand Qin Daoyou's love for his disciples. However, the younger generation should make the decision on their own. The elders interfere too much. In this way, Tang privately feels that it is not appropriate."

Chen Jin frowned and said nothing. Tang Ning and Zhang Yu looked at each other and said nothing. The hall fell into silence and waited for about a quarter of an hour.

A man with a broad forehead and broad face strode in from outside. He paused slightly as his eyes passed over Tang Ning and Zhang Qing, and then bowed to Chen Jin.

"Wu Qi, please answer truthfully, does our sect have two Taoist friends, Li Qing and Tang Yuan, under supervision?"

"Returning to the headmaster, Li Qing and Tang Yuan were suspected of killing our sect's junior brother Zhang Xian. The disciples therefore called them for questioning. Unexpectedly, their attitude was rude and rude. Not only did they not cooperate with the investigation, they also seriously injured two of our sect's disciples. Disciple They were subdued through combined efforts and are currently being held in the interrogation room for investigation.”

"Fellow Daoist Wu, did you know that these two are the recruited disciples of our brigade?" Tang Ning took the lead before Chen Jin could say anything.

"This is Taoist Taoist friend Tang Ning, the head of the Taixuan Sect stationed in this pavilion. I am here today precisely for the sake of Li Qing and Tang Yuan."

Chen Jin introduced: "Please tell me the ins and outs of this in detail."

Wu Qi replied: "Yes, back to Senior Tang. A few months ago, Wu Xian, the manager of our sect's forbidden secret department, was killed. After several months of investigation, our sect confirmed that the murderer was a middle-stage Jindan monk based on the testimony of witnesses. , because the perpetrator was wearing a mask, his true identity could not be determined.”

"We investigated Junior Brother Wu Xian's interpersonal network and found that Tang Yuan, a disciple recruited by Guizong, is suspected of committing a major crime. The two are love rivals. Wu Xian has always admired Junior Sister Su Wan of our sect."

"Tang Yuan also pursued Junior Sister Su Wan. The two dated for a period of time and finally separated. According to Junior Sister Su Wan, the fundamental reason why the two separated was that Tang Yuan suspected that Junior Sister Su Wan and Junior Brother Wu Xian were having an affair. ”

"Based on this clue, we locked onto Tang Yuan and started investigating his movements."

"Junior Brother Wu Xian was killed at the "Wuyan Mountain" on the left and right at 6 o'clock in the morning of March. According to the testimony of eyewitnesses, the assailant fled to the northeast after killing Junior Brother Wu Xian."

"And Tang Yuan appeared in the "Huangyuan Valley" market at the end of the sixth day of March. With the speed of the middle-stage Jindan monks, he could reach "Huangyuan Valley" from "Wuyan Mountain" in four or five hours, and then In addition, the body size described by witnesses is somewhat similar to Tang Yuan’s body shape.”

"The coincidence of time and the previous love and feud between the two made Tang Yuan naturally the biggest suspect in the murder of Junior Brother Wu Xian. This would inevitably cause conflicts and misunderstandings. We did not rush into arrest and interrogation, but only collected evidence and investigated first."

"Unexpectedly, fellow Taoist Tang Yuan and Li Qing had very bad attitudes, rude words, and even injured several disciples of our sect."

"We had no choice but to subdue him and take him back to the mountain gate for interrogation."

"Junior knows that he is a recruited disciple of Qingwu Camp, but according to the regulations between your sect and Qingzhou Xuanmen, your sect's offices in various places are not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of the local Xuanmen or infringe on the interests of the local Xuanmen."

"Now that Tang Yuan is suspected of killing a disciple of our sect, it is completely reasonable and legal for us to summon him for questioning."

"It's reasonable and legal." Tang Ning said expressionlessly: "Based on just one side of the story, without any conclusive evidence, and without even saying hello, you arrest and detain the people of our sect at will. Headmaster Chen, is this your sect's attitude? ?”

"If your sect feels that it is reasonable and legal to act like this, then I can find 800 reasons to detain and arrest your disciples at any time. I hope your sect will understand by then."
