Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Although "Qingyue Wharf" has the name of a wharf, it is actually a huge city outline, about the same size as Tingcheng. Beyond the city outline, you can see the endless sea to the south.

The interior of the city is very prosperous, with many monks and shops and lofts lined up in rows.

Tangning inquired about the location of Nether World Tong Pavilion and went straight there. After entering the inner room, a male cultivator came up to him and asked, "Senior, what do you need?"

"I want to go to Zili Island. I heard that only your department has merchant ships leading there, so I came here."

The man looked at him and said, "Senior, I want to go to Zili Island. I don't know why?"

Tangning frowned slightly: "What? Does your department still have this rule? Do you have to explain clearly the ins and outs of boarding your merchant ship?"

"Senior should not be a monk from around here!"

"No, what's the problem?"

"I have to explain to the seniors that the 'Zili Island' is under the jurisdiction of the headquarters. There are monks stationed on it, and the rules of the headquarters are different from other forces. If the seniors go to the island, I am worried that misunderstandings may cause friction and conflict. There is a conflict, so we need to ask clearly first.”

"You can rest assured on this. I am a wandering cultivator with no fixed place and no home. This trip to Zili Island was just a whim. I wanted to take a walk on the island in the Netherworld Sea. I and the island The people above have no kinship or grievances, and will never cause any friction with them.”

The man hesitated and said: "Let's do this! Senior, I will take you to see the chief of this pavilion first, and he will tell you the specific situation."

"Does it need to be that troublesome?"

"Senior, if you need to go to Zili Island, you must abide by the rules set by the headquarters."

"Well, you lead the way!"

The two of them came to the stone room on the second floor of the attic one after another. There sat an old man with gray hair on his temples.

The man saluted and said, "Mr. Wang, this is our guest. He said he was going to Zili Island."

The old man raised his head and glanced at Tang Ning, and took the initiative to introduce: "I am Wang An, the head of this pavilion. I wonder what you call me?"

This old man with an unassuming appearance and a gentle voice was actually a cultivator of Huashen. Tangning was secretly wary and replied without any expression on her face: "I'm at Liutang."

"Fellow Daoist Liu, I wonder why you went to 'Zili Island'?"

"I am a casual cultivator in the next chapter. I am home all over the world. On a whim, I thought of wandering around the islands in the Netherworld Sea."

"Oh!" Wang An nodded: "I wonder where your family name is?"

"I am originally from Huaxi County."

Before the old man could continue to ask, Tangning said, "Senior, I also have a question in my mind. I wonder if I should ask it?"

"If you have any questions, fellow Taoist, please feel free to ask."

"Junior doesn't understand, since your department has opened a Wutong Pavilion at this pier openly and does business, why is it so difficult for the guests? I feel like I am not a guest, but like a prisoner on trial. Please forgive me for speaking bluntly. I am ignorant and have never seen any Wutong Pavilion treat guests like this."

The old man smiled: "I understand the feelings of fellow Taoists. We are also thinking about the safety of fellow Taoists. The rules of our headquarters are somewhat different from those in other places. When fellow Taoists arrive at Zili Island, if they really violate the rules, the consequences will be It’s very serious, so we must inform these things in advance.”

"If you, a fellow Taoist, are going to other places, I will not hesitate to arrange a boat ticket to take you there immediately. To be honest, the reason why we set up the Wutong Pavilion here is to facilitate the travel of all fellow Taoists. It is to facilitate the monks of our headquarters to return to the Netherworld Sea."

"Fellow Taoist must know that the Wutong Pavilion of other forces does not have merchant ships going to the jurisdiction of our headquarters. If you want to go to the Netherworld Island, you can only go through the Wutong Pavilion of our headquarters."

"Generally, those who go to the Netherworld Islands are monks from our headquarters. Outsiders like fellow Taoists are not very common."

"Of course we welcome fellow Taoists to go sightseeing on the islands under our jurisdiction, but the prerequisite is that they abide by our rules and accept our guidance."

"After arriving on the island, the headquarters may arrange for a person to be a guide for the fellow Taoist. Wherever the fellow Taoist wants to go, you need his consent and he will take you there."

"If fellow Taoist can accept it, I will immediately arrange a merchant ship for you to go to Zili Island."

Tangning was speechless. He never expected that the management of the territory under the Netherworld Sea Organization would be so strict. It seemed that it would be difficult to access the Thousand Islands through proper channels.

"Junior would like to ask, are all outsiders going to the Netherworld Islands subject to the supervision of your department?"

The old man nodded and said: "Yes, the headquarters has strict regulations that do not allow outsiders to break in without permission. In fact, this is easy to understand. Just like the mountain gate of the Xuanmen Sect, outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave without permission. For us, the islands in the Netherworld Sea are , just like the mountain gates of those sects.”

"In that case, that's it. This junior doesn't like to be monitored by others. Sorry to bother you, please leave." After that, Tang Ning turned around and left the room.

After leaving the Netherworld Haiwutong Pavilion, he walked on the wide bluestone street and frowned unconsciously. There was no merchant ship heading to the 'Thousands of Islands', so this was going to be difficult.

This matter was not in his plan at all. He had never thought that it would be so troublesome to get to Qianxi Island.

But since they are all here, he will naturally not give in easily. For the current plan, he has to think of another way.

If you want to go to the Thousand Islands, you must rely on merchant ships. If you just rely on your own speed, you may not be able to reach it in just a few decades.

But other forces, Wutongge, do not have merchant ships going to Zili Island. If you want to go to Zili Island, you can only take the Nether Sea Wutongge merchant ship.

But in this case, they have to supervise them. Even if they arrive at Zili Island, there is no way to go to Qianxi Island. ’

Things seemed to have reached a dead end. Tang Ning's mind was racing, and she couldn't think of a good solution for a while. After thinking about it, she could only go to Taixuan Sect Wutong Pavilion to try her luck and see if they could do anything.

Inside the pier were the Wutong Pavilion and shops opened by Emperor Taixuanzong. Not long after Tang Ning arrived at the attic, he was greeted by a beautiful woman inside. She bowed her head and said, "Senior, what are your orders?"

"I, a disciple of Taixuan Sect, would like to seek help from the head of your pavilion for some matters. I don't know if he can meet with you."

"Senior, please wait a moment. I will go and report to the steward of this pavilion." After the woman said that, she turned around and left. Not long after, she saw a man with fat head and big ears walking towards her. He was dressed in Taixuanzong clothes and had a stern on his face. Smiling.

"Qi Mingxu, I don't know what department this junior brother belongs to?"

Tang Ning turned her hand over and handed the identity token to him: "Tang Ning, the direct-affiliated brigade manager of the 5th Regiment of the 1st Column of the 4th Qingwu Camp, has met Senior Brother Qi."

The man took the token, checked his identity information, and handed it back to him immediately: "I heard that Junior Brother Tang has something to do and wants to see Uncle Senior? I don't know why?"

"Senior Brother Qi, can you lend me a moment to speak?"

Qi Mingxu smiled and nodded: "No problem, Junior Brother Tang, please come with me."

The two of them walked through the hall one after another and came to a spacious room in the rear courtyard, where they sat down respectively for the guest and the host.

"Since Junior Brother Tang is a disciple of the Fourth Legion, why is he not in Donglai County? How did he get here?"

"Senior Brother Qi, to be honest, I came here specially from Donglai County, and my destination was Zili Island. But I didn't expect the situation to be so complicated. I had already gone to the Netherworld Seafood Pavilion on the pier to inquire about it. "Yes, if you go through their route, you need to be monitored, and other forces don't have merchant ships there, so I thought of asking your department for help."

Qi Mingxu glanced at him: "Why did Junior Brother Tang go to Zili Island? That is the territory under the jurisdiction of the Netherworld Sea Organization."

"I have a very important personal matter and I have to go there. I hope Senior Brother Qi can help me."

Qi Mingxu smiled and said: "Junior brother Tang traveled across several counties and came here from Donglai County. I believe there must be something very important, but it may not be easy for you to go to Zili Island."

"Junior Brother Tang must not have known before that this island in the Netherworld Sea is occupied by his organization and is very strictly managed. There are no merchant associations, cultivating families or Xuanmen forces stationed on it. If outsiders want to land on the island, they must report at all levels, even if they go through "Yes, but you have to be closely monitored on the island. You can't move around freely, and you can't see others as you please."

"Not just you, but also the monks on the island. I often say that this Netherworld Organization treats people like beasts. As long as you enter the island, it will basically be the same as being in prison."

"They have strict rules and regulations, no matter how big or small. It is not an exaggeration to say that even if the monks on the island say a word to outsiders, they will be subject to internal interrogation afterwards."

Tang Ning said: "I have heard all this. This time I decided to go to Zili Island after careful consideration. There is indeed something very important, otherwise I wouldn't have come all the way here. Senior Brother Qi Jiu From here, I wonder if there is any way to get there quietly."

"Junior Brother Tang is so persistent, maybe there is some great secret treasure on Zili Island!" Qi Mingxu said with a smile.

Tang Ning knew that this matter would indeed arouse suspicion, so she could only say perfunctorily: "Even if there is some secret treasure, it's not my turn. I have other important things to do here. Senior Brother Qi, is there really no way to get there by merchant ship?" "

"Actually, all the forces have merchant ships heading to the Netherworld Sea, but they just don't stop there. If you want to go to Yanzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou, you have to cross the Netherworld Sea, but the problem is, you can't let those merchant ships stop in the middle, unless you know the senior officials , you can let them stay just for you.”

When Tang Ning heard what he said, she felt happy, knowing that he must have some channels: "Senior Brother Qi, if there is a way to solve my urgent problem, Tang will be very grateful."

Qi Mingxu smiled and said: "But I know that there is a private business that specially transports some casual cultivators to travel around various islands in the Netherworld Sea, but the price is slightly more expensive."

"That's great, Senior Brother Qi, can you recommend me."

"No problem, just leave me a contact point and I'll find you then."

"I wonder how long it will take?"

"It's hard to say this. If they want to go to sea, I will naturally go to you."

"Okay! I'll rest in the inn of the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce at the dock. If Senior Brother Qi has any news, please let me know at any time." Tangning flipped her hands over and took out a storage bag: "Senior Brother Qi can help me with this matter. I would like to thank you for your kindness." , I hope Senior Brother Qi won’t refuse.”

"Junior Brother Tang is so polite. Don't worry, Junior Brother Tang. As soon as there is news, I will inform you immediately."

"Then I won't bother Senior Brother Qi and say goodbye." Tangning stood up and left, arriving at the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce Inn and staying there.
