Chronicles of Celestial Origins

After Tang Ning returned to the column, she first met with the commander of the regiment, Shi Shou, and then returned to the headquarters.

After the last war, the rebels retreated to Luzhi County. Both sides suffered heavy casualties and entered a rest period, so the war temporarily came to an end.

The days in Qianyuan City were as peaceful as water. In the blink of an eye, a few months passed by in the blink of an eye.

In front of the meeting hall of the Fourth Wing, a ray of light came out, revealing the figure of Shi Shou. Sitting inside was an old man with slightly white temples, wearing Xingyue Sect costume.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, I take the liberty of disturbing you." The old man stood up and bowed his head.

"Friend Zhong Dao wants to see me, but I don't know why?" Shi Shou walked to the top and sat down.

"Our sect has a case that we would like to ask your Taoist friend Tang Ning to cooperate with in the investigation. I wonder if I can invite him to come over and have a meeting?"

"Case? What case?"

"That's it. A casual cultivator of Shao Hui killed Zhang Yang, a disciple of our sect. When we were arresting him and taking him away, we were rescued by a mysterious man. During the fight, we also destroyed a Xuanling vessel. The boat injured several disciples of our sect. Through investigation, we found out that Shao Hui had many contacts with fellow Taoist Tang Ning, so I came to find out."

Shi Shou frowned slightly: "Do you, Daoyou Zhong, suspect that Tang Ning is that mysterious person?"

"We are simply here to understand the situation. Before that, our sect had sent someone to contact Daoist Hao Jianren, the director of Guizong's Xuantangcheng branch. He said that Daoist Tang Ning was working in your department and was temporarily It’s not under their command, so our sect sent me to negotiate with your department.”

"Come here." Shi Shou called out, and a monk came in from outside: "Senior, what are your orders?"

"Go and summon Tangning."

"Yes." The man left in response. Not long after, Tang Ning came to the meeting hall and saw the Xingyue Sect's god-transforming monk sitting below. He had a calm expression on his face and bowed to Shi Shou: "Disciple pays homage to Master. uncle."

"Tang Ning, this is Fellow Daoist Zhong Xuan, the head of Xingyue Sect's branch in Qianyuan City. He has something to ask you about."

"I wonder what's wrong with Senior Zhong?"

Zhong Xuan gestured to the Xingyue Sect disciple who was accompanying him. The man stepped forward and said, "Fellow Taoist Tang, this is Zhuang Zijian. Our sect has sent me to investigate the case of Shao Hui, a casual cultivator in Xuantang City, who killed Zhang Yang, a disciple of our sect. I have several questions." I would like to ask. As far as we know, fellow Taoist and Shao Hui have a close relationship. They have known each other since they were in Jingyuan Pavilion, and he was in the alchemy hall. You also provided him with medicinal herbs for alchemy. Is this true? "

"yes."

"Then what is your relationship with Shao Hui?"

"It doesn't matter. When I was the director of Jingyuan Pavilion, he was an alchemist under the headquarters industry. I happened to be in charge of that industry, and we got to know each other. Later he found me and hoped that I would provide him with some alchemy herbs. , he paid me a portion of the alchemy profits, and we lost contact until he found a new partner.”

"We inquired and learned that fellow Taoist Tang mastered a magical power of heaven and earth when he advanced to the realm of Nascent Soul. At that time, a golden sun rose and covered the sky. I heard that you were participating in the banquet competition of the seniors of Guizong Baijintang in Yuanxian County. At that time, he relied on his strong physical ability and this magical power to defeat the heroes. Is it true? "

"What do you want to say, fellow Taoist Zhuang?"

"Shao Hui was rescued by a mysterious man. This man was in the late stage of Nascent Soul cultivation. During the fight, he also used the powerful magical power of the golden round sun. Moreover, this man's body was extremely tough and he shattered the magic weapon with his bare hands. We just went to the Guibu Guard Hall to inquire. You left here on the tenth day of July and came back on August 23rd. The envoy came here from Xuantang City to see you on the tenth day of July. "

Tangning's face was expressionless: "Let's not talk about whether what you said is true or not. There are countless magical powers in the spiritual world. Just because someone else's physical body is tough, he used the golden round sun technique. There is no human or physical evidence. Just rely on your sect. Based on the description of the fight by several disciples, your sect concluded that I was the one who rescued Shao Hui. Isn’t it ridiculous? "

"According to Guizong's reasoning, if there is a murder case in our sect, and there are witnesses who see the other party using the flying sword magic weapon, my sect will go to your sect to find a random person who has the flying sword magic weapon, and slander him as the murderer. Is it reasonable?”

Zhuang Zijian said: "Fellow Taoist Tang is really eloquent. Since Taoist friend believes that he is innocent, can you tell me where you were from the tenth of July to the twenty-third of August?"

"If you have evidence, please bring it out directly. As for my personal matters, I have no comment."

"Fellow Taoist Tang, paper cannot hide fire. Although you are very cautious, now that we have found you, we will definitely find out the truth of the matter. If you can take the initiative to tell Shao Hui where he is hiding, we can still discuss it. room."

Tangning sneered and said, "What a great prestige. The Xingyue Sect is so capable. Why don't they dare to go to the front line to fight the rebels with real swords and guns? They only show off their prestige on these stupid things. Or do you think you have already prepared it at any time?" Are you ready to defect? ​​I would like to advise your sect that people on both sides will not end well in the end."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Shou suddenly said, "I know about this. The reason why Tang Ning went out some time ago was because the headquarters had a private mission that was entrusted to him to complete."

"I would like to ask, senior, what mission has been assigned by your department? Is it a mission in this city or a mission to Xuantang City?"

Shi Shou slammed the desk, with an angry look on his face, and shouted: "You Xingyue Sect are too presumptuous. Do I need to report to you any tasks of this department? Who do you think you are? Do you want me to explain the secret tasks of this department to you? Fellow Daoist Zhong, do you want me to report to you?" The disciples of the sect are too ignorant. I don’t care if you are a guest. You can leave! You are not welcome in this department. Don’t bother me again next time.”

Zhuang Zijian's expression changed slightly, while Qu Xuan stood up and strode out expressionlessly.

It wasn't until the two of them left the main hall and disappeared into the distance that Tangning said, "Thank you so much, uncle, for speaking up to defend your disciple."

Shi Shou would help him cover at this time, which really surprised him.

"It's a small matter. I have been patient with the Xingyue Sect for a long time. What do they think they are? How dare they come here to question the disciples of our sect? Hmm, if I hadn't been worried about looking bad, I would have taught that boy a lesson. You don’t have to worry, you are a disciple of the sect and you are working in the headquarters. They don’t dare to do anything to you even if they are brave enough.”

"With the protection of the sect and the master uncle, the disciples don't have to worry about the Xingyue Sect."

"What happened to the Shao Hui they were talking about? Did you really do it?"

"Shao Hui had a wife who was raped by Zhang Yang, a disciple of the Xingyue Sect. Shao Hui got angry and killed her." Tang Ning did not directly answer whether she was responsible for it.

Shi Shou nodded and didn't ask any more questions: "Go ahead! If the Xingyue Sect still comes to harass you, you don't have to pay attention."

"Yes, disciple, take your leave." Tang Ning left the hall and left.

He had already expected that the Xingyue Sect would find him, but he had no fear at all. With his status as a disciple of the Taixuan Sect and no evidence, the Xingyue Sect could do nothing to him.

Just to take a step back, even if the Xingyue Sect has conclusive evidence, so what? He didn't kill the disciples of the Xingyue Sect. How dare the Xingyue Sect secretly deal with the disciples of the Taixuan Sect? At most, he can be punished through pressure from the sect.

Nowadays, the relationship between the sect and the Xingyue Sect is very bad. Even if the Xingyue Sect has conclusive evidence to sue the sect, the higher-ups may not take it seriously.

As long as he doesn't get stolen by anyone on the spot, with his current status and connections, he doesn't have to worry about Xingyue Sect looking for trouble.

…

"Uncle Master, is that all?" Zhuang Zijian was unwilling.

"You have seen that Shi Shou clearly intended to protect him just now. You also know our relationship with Taixuan Sect now. Besides, this son has a certain background in Taixuan Sect. Without conclusive evidence, we should not act rashly."

"Perhaps we can ask the sect to put pressure on Taixuan Sect."

"For Shao Hui, who was rescued, do you think it's possible without direct evidence? Stop thinking about these things and catch Shao Hui first."
