Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 1218 Counterattack
In the vast and majestic backyard of the cave, Yan Min was half squatting and stroking a blood-red mink. Tangning entered from the outside, and Jishou saluted, "Senior Sister Yan."

"You're here, sit down wherever you want!" Yan Min picked up Diao'er and turned around, looked him over, and said sourly: "Congratulations! I got a chance in the space crack, and now it has melted." God is late."

"How did Senior Sister Yan know that I got the treasure from the crack in the space?" Tangning wondered. He hasn't told anyone about it yet. Could it be that Sima Nianzu and Qin Jin leaked it.

"Hmph!" Yan Minyi snorted dissatisfiedly: "Do you think everyone else is a fool? How long has it been since you broke through the mid-stage of the god transformation? If you didn't get a chance in the space crack, how could you break through the late stage so quickly."

"Senior Sister Yan said so."

"Tell me! Why did you come to me this time? I heard that the servants around you were all driven away by Sima Nianzu."

"I went to Yuanxian County to meet Uncle Bai earlier, and handed over my apprentice Yuan Ya and a few others to Uncle Bai, asking him to take care of you. Uncle Bai asked me about your situation and said that you hadn't visited for a long time. him."

Yan Min's expression was a little displeased: "You are kind, no matter what troubles you encounter, you always know to find the master. Now even a few recruited monks have to be taken care of by the master. The master is almost becoming your servant."

Tangning was so embarrassed by her words that she was speechless.

"Tell me! What's the matter with you? Do you want me to help you deal with Sima Nianzu?"

Tangning rubbed her nose, "Qin Jin was behind the whole incident. He advised Sima Nianzu that Chen Xiaofan and the others would not be in office for a long time, and that the team should be eliminated according to the team's regulations."

Yan Minyi glanced at him contemptuously: "How did you become so stupid? Qin Jin advised, Sima Nianzu didn't nod, can he be the master?"

"Of course I know this. It's just that Sima Nianzu left some room for change. I don't want to tear myself apart with him to the point of death, but Qin Jin is really hateful. If you don't fight back, let me show you some color. When the persimmon is squeezed, I want to borrow a few people from the direct brigade."

"What are you going to do?"

Tangning then revealed the plan.

.........

The wind was sunny and the sky was cloudless. A Xuanling boat was sailing high above the sky, and it was surrounded by a vast expanse of green lake. The sun shone on the water surface and rippled.

At this moment, several rays of light rose from below, caught up with the mysterious spirit ship, and surrounded the merchant ship.

The leader, dressed in Taixuanzong's costume, stood in front of the Xuanling boat, with his palm outstretched, signaling to stop.

There was a commotion in the cabin, and soon, a gap was melted in the merchant ship's defense light curtain, and a figure flashed out inside, looking suspiciously at the person in front of him: "I don't know who you are?"

The man flipped it over in his hand and handed him a token: "The alliance is directly under the brigade Ni Fang, and is ordered by the alliance to inquire about your shipment."

"Fellow Daoist Ni, you made a mistake! We are also working for the alliance. In Xia Xiaoyuan, the alliance recruits monks, and the head of the headquarters is Fellow Daoist Liang Gan. They are all from our own, so what are you looking for?"

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, please cooperate, we are acting under the orders of the alliance."

Xiao Yuan looked at a few people, although he was suspicious, he could only nod his head.

A group of people filed into the Xuanling ship, and Ni Fang waved his hand, and everyone opened the stone boxes on the deck to retrieve them.

"Fellow Daoist Ni, what are you doing? We are all following orders." Xiao Yuan asked with a frown.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, this merchant ship of yours can no longer move forward, you have to go to the alliance with us to report back."

"What? Our ship's supplies are going to Xuanyang Pavilion, why are we going to the alliance?"

"This is an order from above. When you reach the Tianniu Mountains, you should find the relevant people! Now, we are in charge of this ship." After Ni Fang finished speaking, he ignored him and went straight into the cabin.

.........

In Xuantangli City, in front of the majestic shops, several streaks of light shot down, and the leader was Tangning.

He strode into the room, and a woman walked towards him, Jishou said: "What is your order, senior?"

Tangning ignored it, and went straight to the third floor of the attic, pushed open the stone door, and a tall and broad man was sitting cross-legged inside. Seeing him coming, she quickly stood up and saluted respectfully, "Senior Tang."

"Call everyone outside to gather, and bring all the ledgers over."

"Senior Tang, I don't know..." the man dared to ask in a low voice. Before he finished speaking, Tangning interrupted him, "Didn't you hear me? Do I need to explain to you why I did this?"

"Yes, the junior will do so immediately."

Not long after, all the shop personnel were gathered outside the stone room, and account books were delivered one after another, and they were quickly piled up into a tall basket.

"Take everyone away, take back all the account books here." Tangning ordered, and everyone escorted the shop staff out.

……

In the Tianniu Mountains, in the majestic cave, Sima Nianzu stood under the pavilion with his hands behind his back, watching the fish schools in the lake scrambling for joy. After a long time, he suddenly sighed, like an old man with his eyes downcast. , sat down slowly, and there was an indescribable sadness in the whole person.

Only he himself knows that his path of cultivation in this life has come to an end, and there is no longer any hope.

He ran into the Sighing Tribulation where the discoloration of the practice world changed.

When the Sighing Calamity comes, it is silent, and you can't even notice it. When you understand it, it's too late.

A few days ago, his Linghai acupoint was like a pool of stagnant water, and suddenly it stopped absorbing any external spiritual power, as if it was blocked by something, only then did he realize that it was a sigh disaster.

In the past few days, he tried hard to think back, only to realize that his behavior during this period was very strange, sometimes suddenly angry, sometimes inexplicably self-pity and self-love, and sometimes sad.

These are all obvious signs of the Sighing Calamity, but he was not aware of it at all while he was in it.

It may be that after the space crack incident, he was disheartened and felt that there was no hope for his cultivation, or it might have been earlier, or maybe the Sighing Calamity had come quietly after the failure of the shock refining, and it was only now that it fully revealed its minions.

In the distance, a disciple came quickly and bowed, "Master Uncle, Tang Ning is here to see you at the residence."

"Please come in!"

"Yes." The man responded and left. Not long after, Tangning walked over slowly. Looking at Sima Nianzu, who was sitting casually on the horizontal bar and slightly hunched, he was startled.

At this time, Sima Nianzu looked much older than last time, his energy was completely gone, he looked like a late old man with half a foot in a coffin.

It was the first time he had seen his appearance like this. Sima Nianzu was very particular about his appearance. No matter when he stood upright, whether he was standing, sitting, walking or standing, he was like a green pine. His face was never spotless and very clean. .

But at this moment, the short beard is all around, and there is still a little white mixed in.

"Senior Brother Sima," Tangning Jishou saluted.

"You're here, sit down!"

"Yes." Tangning sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion, "I'm here today to pay my respects."

"what's up?"

"I found out that there was a lot of corruption in the shops opened in Xuantangli City of the headquarters. I brought all the witness and physical evidence to the alliance." Tangning flipped through her hands, took out a few files and handed them to him.

Qin Jin is also in charge of the financial management of the alliance, and many of the heads of outside shops are promoted by him. Tang Ning is dealing with him in his own way. Qin Jin has been out of office for a long time. If someone makes trouble, he will also target the personnel he promotes in the name of corruption.

In fact, corruption in various private shops is commonplace. There is no reason why a cat will guard the fish and not steal it.

Sima Nianzu glanced at him, took the file, and flipped through a few pages: "What do you want to do?"

"According to the alliance rules! Isn't it always done like this before? I have all the witnesses and evidence, and I have escorted the personnel of the shop and the merchant ship that transported the supplies back to the alliance."

"Have the few monks who were dismissed by the alliance left the alliance?"

"Long gone."

"Where are they now?"

"I sent them to Yuanxian County." Tangning had nothing to hide.

"Where's your disciple? Has he left too?"

"Yes."

"If they want to come back, let them come back! The United team actually needs some people."

Tang Ning frowned, feeling unhappy. What did Sima Nianzu mean? The alliance is short of manpower. Could it be that he wanted to save these store personnel.

"Brother Sima, follow the rules of the alliance. You said that. Chen Xiaofan and Gao Yuan, who were recruited by the headquarters, were kicked out of the alliance just because they no longer allowed themselves to be allowed to do so. They embezzled the property of the alliance, and their mistakes were no less serious than theirs. Bar!"

Sima Nianzu didn't argue, and said calmly: "I know what you mean, you go first!"

"Then I will resign first, Senior Brother Sima. I propose to strictly abide by the regiment's rules when dealing with these people. If they are indulged, not only will people's hearts be dissatisfied, but it will also be against the rules."

Tang Ning got up and left the room after saying a vague threat. She was prepared in her heart. If Sima Nianzu insisted on protecting these people, he would never agree. It wouldn't be enough to hand in the column, and the big deal would be to die.

"Bring Junior Brother Qin here." After he left, Sima Nianzu instructed the disciples beside him.

Less than half a quarter of an hour later, Qin Jin also came in from the outside. Seeing Sima Nianzu's decadent appearance, a look of astonishment flashed across his face.

"Brother Sima, why did you call me here?"

Sima Nianzu handed him the dossier: "This is the dossier that Junior Brother Tangning sent just now, please take a look!"

Qin Jin took a few glances, and his face was a little ugly for a moment: "What does he mean? Take revenge on us?"

"Junior Brother Tangning requested that these people be removed from the alliance. Junior Brother Qin, I think this matter will be over here! If the trouble continues, it will get worse and worse, and everyone will feel uneasy."

"What a Tangning, he and I are irreconcilable." Qin Jin slammed the file on the stone table, gritted his teeth.
