Chronicles of Celestial Origins

In Yuanxian County, Netherworld Sea, and in the Finance Hall, long queues of human figures have formed in front of each desk.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, have you heard? Senior Zeng Yuan, who is in charge of business affairs in this department, was taken away by the supervisor a few days ago. It is rumored that he was still discussing with several disciples in charge of business at that time. Several of the supervisors went directly to the meeting hall. He was escorted out," a man in Netherworld clothing said softly.

"Of course I have heard about such a big thing. I heard that Senior Zeng Yuan was reported for embezzling a huge amount of spiritual stones. He was still trembling when he was taken away from the meeting hall!" the man who was traveling with him responded.

"Any kind of corruption is just an excuse. It was just that Senior Zeng Yuan contradicted that person during the meeting, so he was taken away by the supervisor."

"Hush, be careful what you say, be careful of being spotted by the supervisors."

"I just heard a joke about our organization. It is said that a high-level monk in our headquarters encountered a man who was in a panic and was being chased by a tiger demon. He was about to die, so he rushed over to the man and said, don't be afraid, I will deal with the tiger. Demon, go quickly.”

"Unexpectedly, instead of leaving, the man ran towards the direction of the tiger demon. As he ran, he kept saying, "If I fall into the tiger's mouth, I will still have a few bones left. If I fall into your hands, I will lose all my bones."

Everyone chuckled when they heard this.

Suddenly, the whispering stopped, and the entire hall fell silent for a moment, and you could hear a pin drop.

I saw a fair-skinned man slowly walking down from the second floor of the attic with a warm smile on his face. A red birthmark between his eyebrows was particularly eye-catching. Wherever he passed, everyone hurriedly leaned to both sides.

"Why did everyone stop talking? I heard a burst of laughter just now, was it you?" Xu Wenruo walked slowly to a man with a smile on his face: "You just made everyone laugh! Can you tell that joke again? , let me taste it.”

"Xu...Xu Senior." The man lowered his head, not daring to look at him, and bowed his head.

"Why, everyone has heard it, but I can't hear it? This is the Finance Hall, not an interrogation room. Everyone in this department has equal status, and everyone has the right to speak. Maybe I have heard this joke before, you guys You may not believe it, but I also like to talk jokes with my brothers in the headquarters. Every time I hear a novel joke, I feel like seeing a beautiful woman. "

After hearing what he said and seeing his kind and kind smile, the man felt a little at ease, his throat rolled, and he spoke.

"It is said that a high-level monk in the headquarters encountered a man who was in a panic and was being chased by a tiger demon. He was about to die, so he rushed to the man and said, don't be afraid, I will deal with the tiger demon, and you leave quickly. Who knows that not only did the man not Instead, he ran towards the tiger demon, saying, "If I fall into the tiger's mouth, I will have a few bones left, but if I fall into your hands, I won't even have any bones."

"That's quite interesting."

Seeing this, everyone felt relieved and chuckled in agreement.

"Name, position, and which department you belong to?" Xu Wenruo had a cold smile on his face.

In an instant, the space in the hall seemed to be frozen.

The smiles on everyone's faces immediately froze, and everyone dared to gasp.

As if by magic, the man's face turned pale and bloodless. His pupils shrank sharply, as if he was a deflated ball. He was at a loss and stammered: "Senior Xu, I...I...I just..."

Xu Wenruo interrupted him expressionlessly: "You just casually slandered the senior personnel of the superior organization without any evidence. You just smeared the image of the senior personnel of the organization in public. You were just dissatisfied with the organization and harbored evil intentions. You should If you know what the consequences will be, tell me your name, position, and which department you belong to."

There was silence in the hall, and everyone seemed to be immobilized. The man looked horrified, gasping for air, and his hands and feet were weak, as if he was about to collapse to the ground at any time.

"Hahahaha." At this moment, Xu Wenruo's shoulders suddenly shook, and then he threw his head back and couldn't help laughing loudly. Everyone looked at him blankly. After a while, he stopped laughing, with a smile on his face. Warm smile: "How was it? Was that joke just now funny? You must have been fooled by me!"

No one dared to answer, but Xu Wenruo thought to himself and said: "I have a more interesting joke here. It is said that Senior Wei Yijiang, the head of Qingzhou in our headquarters, sat down with a spiritual beast, a flying rat. One day, Senior Wei ordered this Feitian Shu went to get a batch of spiritual stones to give to the guests, but the next day, he found that there were more spiritual stones in the cave. Senior Wei then asked, didn't I ask you to send the spiritual stones to the guests? Why were there more spiritual stones in the cave? Spiritual stone."

"The Flying Squirrel replied, I have never seen you take other people's spiritual stones outside. I have only seen you take other people's spiritual stones and send them to the house."

After hearing this, the man felt a little relieved and forced a smile, and everyone chuckled in agreement.

"Let's talk about any interesting jokes in the future." Xu Wenruo patted the man's shoulder and arm and walked straight out of the hall.

…

The setting sun was like fire, and on the vast expanse of blue lake, two escaping lights flew past quickly, chasing the figure in front of them.

"Junior Brother Zhao, you can't escape. Go back with us and cooperate with the sect's investigation. There is still a chance of survival." The burly man in the Canglang Sect costume behind shouted loudly and clasped his hands together. In an instant, the sky and the earth became dark in vain, with a radius of several A hundred feet high in the sky was shrouded in demonic clouds.

As the magic cloud skyrocketed, the big man's figure suddenly disappeared, and the next moment he appeared in front of the man in front. He slapped his palm and pressed down a huge black five-finger handprint in the magic cloud.

The man flipped his hand, and a mysterious bell bloomed in the wind to protect his body. He formed a seal in his hand, and the golden light from the surrounding heaven and earth surged, condensing into a golden golden gun, and shot towards the huge palm.

There was a loud bang, and the huge black handprint faced the golden gun. The two lights intertwined, and the stalemate lasted only a few breaths. The golden gun shattered inch by inch and disappeared into nothingness. The black handprint continued unabated and struck the Xuan Zhong with a loud bang. The Xuan Zhong's light shrank suddenly and it shook violently.

At the same time, another black-faced man wearing Canglang Sect clothing also rushed to the place where the two were fighting. He pulled out a golden cloak in his hand, and the light inside burst out, condensing into a gecko-like beast body, a fierce Pu clings to Xuan Zhong, opening its bloody mouth, as if absorbing Xuan Zhong's spiritual power.

The man galloped away with Xuan Zhong on his head without looking back. Two disciples in Canglang Sect clothes followed closely behind him. The huge handprints struck down frequently, and the rumbling sounds continued to be heard.

Soon, Xuan Zhong was already shaking, and its light was so weak that it was almost invisible.

The man paused and formed seals in his hands, preparing to fight with the two. At this moment, a ray of light came rushing towards them and arrived in front of the three of them in a few breaths.

The three people had different expressions, and they all stopped their movements and looked at this uninvited guest. The visitor was wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat, but he was a monk named Huashen.

"The junior Canglang Sect disciple Yan Ming is currently carrying out the sect's internal affairs. I wonder if the senior has any advice?" The two Canglang Sect disciples looked at each other and the burly man asked tentatively.

"This man has an old relationship with me. I hope these two fellow Taoists will give me some mercy and let him go!" the man in black robe said.

"I don't know your senior's surname, but this person is a repeat offender of our sect. We took him back to be investigated by our sect."

"I don't want to become enemies with your sect for no reason. I will take this person away now. If you want to chase him, don't blame me for being rude. Li Heng, follow me."

The man in black robe was none other than Tang Ning. The person being chased by the Canglang Sect was Zhao Liheng, a former disciple of the Qianyi Sect.

Tang Ning rushed back from Yuanxian County. On her way here, she happened to encounter two Canglang Sect disciples who were rounding them up. Now that they had encountered them, there was no reason to sit back and watch, so she took out a black robe and bamboo hat from her storage bag and stepped in to rescue them.

He didn't know the cause and effect of this matter, so he didn't rush to capture the two Canglang Sect disciples.

When Zhao Liheng heard this, his pupils shrank, as if he recognized Tang Ning's true identity, and Dunguang quickly followed him.

"Senior Brother Yan, what should we do now?" Seeing the two of them drifting away, the Canglang Sect man asked with a pale face.

"There is no other way. Let's go back to the headquarters to report the situation and make plans."
