Chronicles of Celestial Origins

In the meeting hall of the Jingyue Sect, the senior officials of each hall gathered together. The headmaster Peng Xuanmao took the high seat and spoke slowly: "Former, the Hunyuan Sect, Taiji Sect, and Xingyi Sect have all sent letters. I hope I wonder what everyone thinks of forming an alliance with our sect and promising to equally share the resources of Taixuan Sect in Qingzhou?"

A man below said: "Every county in Qingzhou has suffered from Taixuanzong for a long time. From the county city to the Tingcheng city, almost the best resource areas are controlled by them. If we can seize these important resource areas, There is no limit to the future development of the sect, not to mention that Taixuan Zong has been suppressing various sects in Qingzhou for so many years, openly and secretly, which has already aroused public anger. "

"Since Hunyuan, Taiji, and Xingyi sects have all declared their own sects, what should we fear? I agree to form an alliance with them and break away from the rule of Taixuan Sect."

The man with a fair complexion on the other side said: "This matter is of great importance. I think we should proceed with caution. Now that the three sects of Hunyuan, Taiji, and Xingyi have openly changed their banners, Taixuan Sect will not remain indifferent. It can take as long as a few months. Within a few years, war will definitely break out in the three counties of Beihai, Pingyuan, and Le'an. We don't have to rush to take sides. It's best to sit on the fence. "

"If the situation of Hunyuan, Taiji, and Xingyi sects is not good and cannot be sustained for a long time, we will express our position to support Taixuan sect and take advantage of the situation to win some territory in Beihai, Pingyuan, and Le'an counties and strive for sufficient benefits."

"Vice versa, if Taixuanzong is still unable to conquer these three counties, and loses troops and generals, and things go wrong, we can also raise troops to form an alliance with Hunyuan, Taiji, and Xingyi to use the resources occupied by Taixuanzong in this county. All the territory is in the pocket.”

"In short, as long as we can remain neutral and sit back and watch the fight, no matter which side loses, we can get enough benefits from it, so there is no need to compete with them for a while."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man with all white hair on his temples nodded and said: "This is exactly what I want. The situation is unclear now. We must not act rashly. The situation in this county is more complicated. In addition to Taixuanzong and the local aristocratic families, there are many people in the county." The Netherworld Sea Organization is spying in secret, and there are demons from Mubei watching with eager eyes."

"It can be said that one hair can affect the whole body. In this time of turmoil, it is better for me to remain still than to move my mind. The best policy is to remain unchanged in response to all changes."

"People who have no long-term concerns must have immediate worries. We must not only focus on the immediate benefits, but also consider the future dangers. If the Mubei demons attack again, we need to rely on their power to compete with them."

"If it is unavoidable, we have to wait until the situation becomes clear before choosing the side with a higher winning rate to join its camp."

………

In Xuantang City, Tianniu Mountains, in the meeting hall directly under the brigade, everyone gathered together and discussed.

"It is rumored that the three counties of Beihai, Le'an, and Pingyuan have openly rebelled. All the local aristocratic families have taken refuge with Jiang Yunming. Pay taxes."

"More than that, I heard that the Second Army, the Third Army, and the Fifth Army stationed in Beihai, Le'an, and Pingyuan were attacked by local Xuanmen and noble families. They suffered heavy casualties. Guo Yulong, the commander of the Second Army, was even assassinated. Death."

"It's so serious, it can't be serious! How dare they blatantly attack the legions stationed there?"

"Why don't you dare? He has publicly announced that he will no longer pay taxes and contributions to the sect. This is a blatant act of rebellion. How can the sect tolerate him? They will definitely send out an army of conquests. The rebel armies in Beihai, Le'an, and Pingyuan If you are not a fool, why would you keep the second, third, and fifth ones and wait to cooperate with the external army? Of course, you have to strike first."

"So, wouldn't the situation of the Second, Third, and Fifth Legions be very dangerous?"

"Being in the heart of the enemy, surrounded by rebellious rebels on all sides, the situation is naturally very dangerous."

"You won't be shut down and beaten, and you will be eaten by the establishment! If that happens, the loss will be too great."

"If the Xuanmen and aristocratic families in Donglai County join the rebel army, wouldn't our situation be as dangerous as theirs?"

"Who says it's not?"

Everyone said something to each other. It was not until Huang Yuan came in from the outside that the hall became quiet. He walked to the main seat and glanced at everyone: "Perhaps you have heard that the Hunyuan Sect of Beihai County , the Xingyi Sect in Le'an County and the Taiji Sect in Pingyuan County both publicly announced that they would no longer pay tribute to the sects. There is no doubt that this is a premeditated rebellion. "

"According to the latest news, most Xuanmen and aristocratic families in Beihai County have defected to them. Nearly half of the Xuanmen in Le'an County and Pingyuan County have joined the rebel army. The legions stationed in these three counties have all been attacked. Among them, the Second Corps stationed in Beihai County suffered the most casualties.”

"But don't worry too much. Although the bandits are rampant for a while, they will not last long. The sect has sent out a large army to fight against the rebellion. I believe that the rebellion will be eradicated and the three counties of Beihai, Pingyuan, and Le'an will be recovered soon."

"The primary task of our army now is to prevent the Xuanmen and the aristocratic families in Donglai County from participating in this rebellion. To this end, the commander of our army has given the order."

"Teams at all levels need to lobby and monitor Xuanmen and aristocratic families in various places."

"We must maintain the stability of Donglai County at all costs and use all means."

"Inspector Hao requires all members of the unit to be mobilized to contact various sects and practicing families in the city to understand their intentions. Sects with different intentions need to be closely monitored for a long time."

"The Xuanmen sects in each Tingcheng are responsible for the small teams stationed there. The main team is only responsible for contacting various practicing families."

"Now I announce the mission, Junior Brother Ren, you go to Fengya Pavilion to contact the Luo family."

"Xu Ziyi, I went to Xiangqanting to contact the Huayuan Sect."

"Yu Gan, go to Xinfeng Pavilion to contact the He family."

………

Dark clouds covered the moon and heavy rain poured down. In front of the huge light curtain in the Qinyuan Pavilion, a ray of light shot out, revealing Tang Ning's figure. He flipped his hand and the talisman sank into the room. After a while, the light curtain melted to create a gap. A figure flashed out from inside and welcomed him into the inner room.

Inside the cave, a thin man was sitting. When he saw Tang Ning entering from the outside, he stood up with a smile and bowed his head: "Senior Brother Tang, we haven't seen you for many years, but your heroic appearance is even more profound than in the past!"

"Junior Brother Zhang, it's been a long time." Tang Ning bowed his head in return. The person in front of him was Zhang Quan, the leader of the Sixth Team of the First Brigade.

"Quick, please take a seat." The two of them sat facing each other, and Tang Ning said, "Junior Brother Zhang, this time I came to contact the Xu family on the order of Senior Uncle Huang from my headquarters. How much do you know about them."

Zhang Quan said: "Uncle Xie had already announced the matter when we were discussing matters in the headquarters team. Unexpectedly, the team directly under the headquarters actually sent Senior Brother Tang here."

"I don't have a deep relationship with the Xu family. I have met Xu Fengnian, the head of the Xu family, only a handful of times over the years in this pavilion. As far as I know, there are four Nascent Soul monks in the Xu family. The head of the Xu family, Xu Fengnian, is named Yuan Ying. "The late infant monk."

"Besides him, the other three Nascent Soul cultivators of the Xu family are Xu Tian, ​​Xu Ziyuan, and Zhang Qian."

"Xu Fengnian can be said to have absolute say in the Xu family. Because of his profound cultivation and being a direct descendant of the Xu family, he is the orthodox successor. After being the head of the family for so many years, his prestige is even more profound."

"The main resources of the Xu family in this pavilion include three middle-grade spiritual mines and one third-order medium-grade spiritual vein. In addition, there are also some industrial sites in ores, solutions, equipment, etc."

"Xu Fengnian had a son named Xu Jin, who was born to him and his first wife, and he loved him very much. Xu Jin was a cautious and steady man, and he is currently in the late Jindan stage. There have long been rumors that he was just one step away from having a baby. One step away, if she successfully conceives a baby, she will undoubtedly be the next head of the Xu family. "

Tang Ning nodded: "Thank you, Junior Brother Zhang, for telling me. I have never interacted with the Xu family. I wonder if Junior Brother Zhang can introduce you to me?"

"Of course, that's no problem."

The two chatted for a few more words, and then left the cave together. After walking for most of a day, they arrived at Qianyuan Mountain, where the Xu family was located.

In the majestic and majestic hall, the two people entered from the outside. Sitting inside was a Confucian-student man in his late fifties and sixties with gray hair on his temples. He was Xu Fengnian, the head of the Xu family.

"The two Taoist friends are here, and our mansion is full of glory." Seeing the two people entering, Xu Fengnian stood up to greet them, smiled and bowed his head.

"I dare not disturb the peace of fellow Taoists, so please don't blame me."

"Please take a seat."

The three of them sat separately as guest and host.

"The two fellow Taoists who came here must have come to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. If you have anything to say, please speak up. Xu will do his best to do what he can."

"Actually, there is nothing special. This time Tang passed by Qinyuan Pavilion on his way to work and went to Junior Brother Zhang's place to rest for a while. While the two of us were chatting, Junior Brother Zhang mentioned that Taoist friend is a man who takes money lightly but loves righteousness. Corporal Li Xian is a top-notch hero in this city. I have heard of Fellow Daoist Xu for a long time, so now that I have this opportunity, I asked Junior Brother Zhang to introduce me to visit him, mainly because I want to get to know Fellow Daoist Xu."

"I didn't expect that Xu's humble name would be heard by fellow Taoist Tang. I'm really honored to come." Xu Fengnian shouted, and before he finished speaking, a man from outside stepped inside and bowed: "What are your orders, Master? "

"I'm going to entertain two distinguished guests. You go and get ready."

"Yes." The man responded and left.

"Since the two Taoist friends have come from afar, please rest in our house for one night so that Xu can fulfill his friendship as a landlord."

The two of them looked at each other, and Tang Ning nodded and said, "Since this is a kindness from fellow Daoist Xu, we are disrespectful. I heard that your son is going to have a baby soon, but I don't know if this is true?"

Xu Fengnian smiled and said: "To be honest with you two, Quanzi has been cultivating to the Golden Elixir Perfection for many years. Those who have delayed conceiving a baby are just to practice a skill. Now that the skill is complete, they will soon reach the realm of Nascent Soul. ”

"I wonder how everything is ready for the birth of a baby?"

"Everything is ready, but Quanzi's heart is always uneasy, so the baby has not been born for a long time."

"Then I wish Mr. Ling a smooth pregnancy."

"I hope I can borrow some good words from fellow Taoist friends."

"I heard that Mr. Ling has made a marriage contract with the daughter of the Xu family of "Huashanting". Is this the case?"

"Yes, as long as the dog successfully gives birth to a baby, the marriage will be consummated immediately."

"On the day of your master's wedding, Tang will also come to ask for a wedding drink."

"It is an honor for our government to have Taoist friends come here. When the time comes, I will send someone to your department to invite you."

"Okay, it's a deal. I wonder if you have ever considered whether your grandson will be born in the future, and have you ever thought about finding a great future for him?"

"Fellow Taoist Tang, please explain clearly what you mean by this."

"With all due respect, although your mansion is a powerful man and has a good reputation in this city, after all, its goals are limited. Now our sect is recruiting talents. If Sun meets the conditions, he may join our sect in the future. Tang Someone can recommend him to practice Yongquan meditation."

Xu Fengnian's eyes lit up: "Thank you so much, Fellow Taoist Tang."
