Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning bowed to the ground three times. Bai Jintang waved his hand gently, and his spiritual power lifted him up: "Get up!"

Tangning stood up as instructed.

"In terms of seniority, I can bear your worship, but if you look at this matter alone, it actually doesn't have much to do with me."

"Senior, what do you mean by this?"

"Sit down! Sit down first and then talk."

"yes."

Bai Jintang said: "Although I hold the position of captain, I am just an ordinary disciple in this sect. To put it bluntly! My abilities and connections are not enough to accomplish such a thing."

"Recruiting disciples is a big or small matter, but if you want to intervene, it is very difficult."

"If you are a child who has not transformed from the mortal world and wants to be accepted into the monastery, it will be easier. For monks like you who have become monks on the way, if you want to join the sect, the conditions are very strict."

"It is true that the sect has relaxed its recruitment restrictions hundreds of years ago, allowing it to absorb some casual cultivators. However, these monks recruited into the sect are all people who have served under the chiefs of various places. In addition, He has made many meritorious deeds over the years and has been carefully selected to join the sect.”

"In Qingzhou, almost everyone wants to enter the sect through various channels. As far as this matter is concerned, among the hundreds of thousands of monks in Qinghai, who is not willing to make a career and join a large sect."

"Although our sect also participates in recruiting disciples, I am afraid that only a few will be recruited in the end."

"Let me tell you the bottom line! It is said that all sects, big and small, have negotiated their quotas. I don't know about other sects, but this sect only has a hundred places."

"That is to say, among these hundreds of thousands of people, only a hundred lucky ones can join the sect through this way."

"The person in charge of this recruitment of our sect is the commander of the Thirteenth Legion. He was originally appointed as the inspector of the transfer department of Qingxuan Palace, so the sect assigned him to be responsible for the recruitment of our disciples. Even if it is these trivial matters, he will not do it himself. If you want to intervene, at least leave it to my close associates. Do you think I am qualified enough to talk to him? "

Tang Ning understood in her heart that monks who reached the level of legion commander were considered the mainstay of Taixuan Sect. They were supported by senior officials of Taixuan Sect behind them. They were the backbone of the faction. As Bai Jintang, they were not qualified to talk to them.

Only someone of Nangong Muxue's level could ask the legion commander to sell her a favor.

"This junior understands that senior Bai and Senior Nangong's kindness will never be repaid by this junior in this life. It's just that I don't understand something, so I would like to ask senior for advice."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Senior Nangong is far away in Tianyuan Holy City, and it has only been a few months since the command issued this order. Even if she learned about this and came from Tianyuan City, she was not so fast. Could it be that Senior Nangong has already arrived in Qingzhou?" Tang Ning asked. road.

If Nangong Muxue hadn't been in Qingzhou, how could he have gotten the news so quickly?

Bai Jintang smiled: "Although the Qingzhou Alliance Command issued the order recently, the conditions have been negotiated long ago. Part of the jurisdiction of Qinghai and Donglai County will be handed over to them in exchange for their full help. This agreement It was signed thirty years ago, but the higher authorities did not announce it.”

"So absorbing monks from Qinghai into various sects has been a long-established strategy. Senior sister told me that if you are not in trouble by then, I will make a trip for you. She has already taken care of the relationship."

After hearing this, Tang Ning's resentment toward Nangong Muxue dissipated.

Of course he knew that the reason why Nangong Muxue was willing to take care of all this for him was definitely not out of kindness or guilt, but because of Liu Ruhan's affection.

But no matter what, the fact that she was able to do this finally helped her solve something that she had always dreamed of but couldn't get.

With this kind of kindness, Tang Ning could no longer hold back the resentment towards her in her heart.

Back then, when Nangong Muxue forcibly abducted Liu Ruhan, he really hated her with all his heart. He even thought about taking revenge on her one day and letting her have a taste of it.

As he went further and further on the path of spiritual practice and experienced and seen more and more things, his thoughts had gradually faded away.

One was due to the huge gap between the two, which made him very clear that he had no chance at all.

Both, after seeing the weakness of his own sect, he gradually understood the significance of a strong sect to his disciples.

For a child from a deserted village to enter the Taixuan Sect is a blessing that cannot be achieved in several lifetimes. From this point of view, Nangong Muxue can definitely be regarded as Liu Ruhan's benefactor.

Even though he understood these two points rationally, he was still aggrieved by Huai Nangong Muxue's domineering and unreasonable behavior.

To this day, after this incident, he has let go of that trace of resentment.

From now on, he and Nangong Muxue will never owe each other anything, he thought to himself.

"So, Senior Nangong has been to Qingzhou before?"

"This kind of thing doesn't require her to run away in person. She just sent a message to someone to ask me to find out about you. After I learned that you were transferred to the 23rd Army Corps, I sent Minyi to find you several times. I missed it without thinking about it.”

"I wonder when the various sects in Qingzhou will select monk Qinghai? Where will the juniors be assigned?"

Bai Jintang said: "A few days ago, I met with the people around Inspector Duan, the monk who handled this matter under the commander of the Thirteenth Army. Someone has already said hello to him about your matter, and it is basically finalized."

"As for when each sect will recruit Brother Qinghai, I didn't ask too much. I think it won't take too long. As for your affiliation! I guess it should be working outside."

"All the monks recruited by our sect before were serving outside. Only during the big recruitment, children who entered the sect through this way and experienced transformation could stay in the sect."

"Actually, working outside the country also has the advantages of working outside. It is relatively free. There is an unwritten rule in our sect. All department supervisors, deacons, and even managers must have experience working outside before they can be promoted."

"My senior sister once served as the inspector of the Fourth Legion of Qingwu Camp, and was later transferred back to the sect for re-employment."

"Junior understands." Tang Ning nodded, knowing in her heart that Bai Jintang's words were just words of comfort. The Taixuan Sect must have rules about reusing the sect after being released to the outside world, but it was only for the upper echelons of the sect.

Taixuan Sect's roots are deeply rooted in many counties and counties in Qingzhou and Yanzhou. As a high-level sect, of course, you must understand the situation within your jurisdiction. There are some things here that are complicated and complex, and you can only understand them if you are truly immersed in them.

But for "half-way monks" like him, the meaning of exile is actually exile, leaving them to fend for themselves.

Not only Taixuan Sect, but basically all sects do this. Sect disciples who join halfway are not qualified to grasp the key points of the sect.

When Qian Yizong absorbed monks from outside, they also exiled them to outside.

"Tang Ning, you will also be a disciple of our sect from now on. I have to tell you some things."

"Please give me your instructions, senior."

Bai Jintang said: "The situation in our sect is very complicated. Many things cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences, and the internal and external relationships are intricately intertwined. In short, after you join our sect, remember to be cautious in your words and deeds, and be careful in everything you do."

"You are the person recommended by Senior Sister, and you will be ours from now on. No matter where you go, this title will accompany you. Do you understand?"

"Junior knows," Tang Ning responded.

Bai Jintang said: "I know that you have served as the head of Xuande Hall of Qianyi Sect, and you should be relatively skilled in the affairs of the sect. But I still want to remind you that the big sect and the small sect are completely different. A kind of sect atmosphere and ecology.”

"Your joining the sect is naturally a happy event with high profits and high returns, but you must also pay attention to the risks involved. If you are not careful, you may be in catastrophe."

“Remember, always be cautious in walking on thin ice.”

"Let me tell you this! Do you know how many cases the Zongmen Prosecution Department hears every year?"

"According to the sect's statistics, the Prosecution Department hears at least 3,000 cases every year, and no fewer than 1,000 disciples are convicted."

"As for the unexplained disappearances and murders, it's even more serious if you don't see the person alive or the dead body. Protected by the sect's rules, no one dares to kill the disciples of our sect in broad daylight, but don't think that there is nothing you can do for others. As long as you have enough benefits, you can do anything. Anything can happen.”

"When you join our sect in the future, no matter where you are assigned, I would like to warn you in advance: say less and do less."

"If you shouldn't say anything, try not to say it unless it's necessary. If you can refuse something, try not to do anything that's not necessary."

“If it’s the lesser of the two, say more, but never do more.”

"No one will kill someone just for a few words. Even if they say something that displeases others, they will not do it easily, because killing a disciple of our sect is very expensive. But if you have done something to make others happy, If you do something that others don’t like, there is no guarantee that they won’t be cruel.”

"Senior's teachings must be kept in mind by this junior." Tang Ning stood up and saluted: "Junior dares to ask one more thing. After joining Taixuan Sect, can junior and senior return to the mountain gate to meet my wife?"

Bai Jintang smiled: "Is this why you have tried so hard to join our sect?"

"Of course this is part of the reason. My wife is always in the mountain gate. Only after joining Taixuan Sect can I meet my wife. But who doesn't yearn for the great practice of Taixuanzong? The younger generation wants to join Taixuanzong, both of them However, if my wife is not in Taixuanzong, my will will not be so strong."

"Of course it's possible to go back to the mountain gate, but I can't guarantee whether I can meet Master Nephew Liu."

"Why is this?" Tang Ning was slightly stunned. He had already reached Taixuanzong's mountain gate, so why couldn't he see her?

"I'll tell you the truth! Master Nephew Liu is practicing a skill. During this period, he must not be moved by emotions. So Senior Sister put her in solitary confinement until she completed the skill. That's why she didn't follow her. The reason why the monks of our sect left Shanmen to go to Qingzhou to help.”

When Tang Ning heard this, she felt angry for a moment, and her resentment towards Nangong Muxue surged into her heart again.
