Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Clouds cover the mountains surrounded by fog, and a ray of light shoots from the east, passes through the clouds and fog, and comes to the front of a majestic and majestic palace.

Inside, a burly middle-aged man was sitting upright on a futon with his eyes closed and practicing.

"Uncle, the news just came that our team going to Jieyu Mountain to transport the monster beasts was robbed and killed." A woman came in from outside and saluted.

"Who did this?" The man frowned.

"It's not clear yet. According to the monks who escaped, the ones who took action were two middle-stage Jindan monks. They were ambushing in Xuanling Mountain, wearing black robes and bamboo hats. They attacked without saying a word as soon as they came up. They were obviously prepared. Come."

"Two golden elixir monks?" The man pondered for a while: "Have you sent someone to investigate?"

"Senior Cheng from Jieyu Mountain has gone." The woman replied, "Uncle, I think this is abnormal. Maybe someone is targeting us."

"Tell me."

"The other party laid an ambush in advance and came for the merchant ship. This is obvious. But there is nothing else on the merchant ship except more than a thousand kilograms of demon beast flesh and blood, and the pickled and fermented demon beast flesh and blood is specially used as spiritual wine and spiritual food. This is for Rogue cultivators are useless. Therefore, it can be concluded that the other party is an organized group. In addition, Yin Qingyuan, who was also responsible for the fermentation of monster blood, died in an unknown manner. I think this is not a coincidence. "

The man nodded slowly: "Then what do you think the other party's purpose is?"

"I haven't thought about this for a while, but I think they might take action again." The woman finished her words, and an old man with a big face and gray hair on the temples came in from outside.

"Fellow Daoist Cheng is here, please sit down. How is the investigation going?"

The old man took his seat as he was told: "The Yuanling ship crashed, and the flesh and blood of the demon beasts escorted on it are still there. I have sent people to Jieyu Mountain. There are traces of fighting nearby. We found a large stall dozens of miles away. The blood and flesh foam are believed to belong to fellow Taoist Wang Xuan.”

"Hasn't the flesh and blood of the monster beasts that were transported been stolen?"

"No, I think this should be a vendetta caused by personal grudges. According to the description of the disciples who happened, the merchant ship's defensive light curtain was breached at that time, and they abandoned the ship and fled in all directions. The other party did not hesitate and fled in the direction of Wang Xuan He chased after him. There was even a disciple walking with Wang Xuan at that time, but they were only a hundred feet away, but the two men passed by him and chased Wang Xuan. "

"Yes." The man muttered: "You should try your best to investigate this matter. Just in case, we will need more manpower to transport monsters in the future."

……………

The Tianling Ship travels high in the sky, with mountains and rivers passing by at its feet. It is a merchant ship owned by the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce. The words Tianbao Chamber of Commerce are flying on the flag on the bow, and the Chinese characters Shenzhui are flying on the flagpole on the stern.

Huge stone boxes were displayed on the deck, and bustling monks were sitting cross-legged everywhere.

After refining and absorbing the spiritual power of a pill, Tang Ning opened her eyes and slowly exhaled.

"Junior Brother Tang." Jiang Yuhuan came over, turned his hand over and took out a storage bag: "This is his relic, what do you think of doing with it?"

"It was all thanks to Senior Brother Jiang to kill this traitor. Senior Brother Jiang should keep this thing for himself!" Tang Ning looked around and said when she saw no one around.

"Without Junior Brother Tang's help, I wouldn't have succeeded so easily. If Junior Brother Tang didn't object, according to the old rules, each of us will take half of these things."

"Just follow what Senior Brother Jiang wants."

"I just looked through it and found that there are a lot of things in Wang Xuan's storage bag. There are three magic weapons in total. In addition to the wooden blue and the pagoda, there is also another thing, which is a piece of jade. It was originally the body protection magic weapon of Senior Brother Yin. I used to I saw that he had used it. There were also a bunch of various cultivation materials, plus about four million spiritual stones, and a dozen bottles of pills." Jiang Yuhuan said, taking out the contents of the storage bag one by one.

After some discussion, Tangning took two million spiritual stones and two magic weapons, one was a pagoda and the other was glazed jade. The rest of the elixirs, including the training materials, all belong to Jiang Yuhuan.

"I don't know how many things here belong to Senior Brother Yin." Tang Ning sighed slightly.

Yin Qingyuan is in charge of the sect's property. He must have a lot of spiritual stones with him. As Wang Xuan's casual cultivator, he does odd jobs under the Li family. His salary is not that high. It can at most be enough for his elixir. fee.

These hundreds of high-grade spiritual stones must not have been saved by him. Maybe they are all relics after intercepting and killing Yin Qingyuan.

Jiang Yuhuan said: "Life and death are determined by fate, and personal circumstances are destined by God and cannot be changed."

"Take this matter as an example. It was because of you that Senior Brother Yin went to investigate the Xu family. His unfortunate death after being targeted by Wang Xuan may have something to do with you. It may be because Wang Xuan knew about the affairs between you and the Xu family. , and knew that he was rich, so he was obsessed with murder. "

"But you also avenged him. If you think about it carefully, everything seems to be God's will. Donglai County, a large city with a radius of hundreds of millions of miles, happened to let me bump into Senior Brother Yin's relics. There seems to be an invisible line between cause and effect. The thread is pulling.”

Tangning saw his lazy face and careless demeanor. For some reason, Tang Ning suddenly felt much lighter, as if a huge boulder had been put down.

He had been feeling a little remorseful and guilty about what happened to Yin Qingyuan before, but he let it all go at this moment.

"Does Senior Brother Jiang also believe in destiny?"

"I have always been a staunch fatalist. I believe that everyone has his or her destiny. From birth to death, no one can change it." Jiang Yuhuan smiled and turned around: "Whether Junior Brother Tang wants to know or not?" , my hexagrams have always been very effective.”

"Has Senior Brother Jiang ever performed a divination on himself?"

"The fortune teller does not predict for himself, this is the rule."

"I think they don't believe these things themselves, or they don't dare to face them. Even if it's true, knowing your own destiny may not be a good thing. It's better to keep some hope!"

As the two chatted, the Tianling Ship passed through the clouds and fog, speeding towards the southwest.

A few days later, the three of them returned to Donglai County. Tang Ning gave some instructions to several Qianyi Sect disciples, asking them to be careful during this period, especially not to come into contact with the disciples from Huanyuan Pavilion, to avoid being attacked by the Li family. Follow the clues and find clues. After that, he and Jiang Yuhuan parted ways and returned to their respective headquarters.

……………

Time flies, the clouds are gray, and ten years have passed in a flash.

In the simple and majestic hall, more than ten men and women were sitting. Not long after, an old man with white beard and hair, kind eyebrows and kind eyes entered side by side, and a middle-aged man with a white face and a scholar's appearance walked in side by side. The two whispered softly, and seemed to be having a happy conversation with each other.

"Please teach me, Master Qin." The pale-faced man said with a smile.

"Please teach me, Shangguan." The old man returned the greeting.

The two of them walked to the main seat above and sat down.

The white-faced man smiled and said: "Thank you all Taoist friends for taking the time to come all the way to attend the meeting held by our sect. I would like to especially thank Qin Jiyuan, the headmaster of Taixuan Sect, for being invited to come here in person, so that our meeting can be held this time. Goes smoothly.”

"Thanks to the concerted efforts of fellow Taoists and various sects in these years, the most difficult days have been passed. On the front line of Liangzhou, we have successively recaptured dozens of cities occupied by demons. I believe that we will be able to drive the demons completely out of Liangzhou soon."

"In the Tiannan Marsh, the Shangqing Sect and Xuanmen colleagues in Jingzhou also fought and won consecutively, regaining control of the Erhai Lake and further approaching the Tiannan Marsh, the base camp of demons."

"Now we can say that the general trend of the world has basically been determined. The demons are exhausted and they should not be able to make any big waves."

"It's just that over in Qingzhou, I heard that the demons in the Mubei Grassland are gaining momentum. The Qingzhou Allied Army's battle against the demons in the Mubei Grassland has not gone well in recent years."

"Headmaster Qin, I would venture to ask, can your sect and Qingzhou comrades resist the offensive of Mubei demons?"
