Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"It's over." Zeng Yang said calmly as he looked at the disappearing huge blurry projection, and then it turned into light and disappeared. When everyone saw this, they also left the place one after another.

A few days later, the space with a radius of hundreds of miles returned to a stable structure, and the Void Refining monk who disappeared into the cracks in the space was also determined to be Xiao Qian, the manager of the column.

He entered the space rift together with the deputy captain Guan Yun, and was also the first person to break into the space rift. Therefore, many people in the column have been secretly rumoring in the past few days that it was Guan Yun who murdered Xiao Qian.

Moreover, the first monk in robes and swords to break out of the space rift was in the middle stage of Void Refining, which was equivalent to Guan Yun's cultivation level. This was also a point of evidence that everyone in the column suspected.

The first person to break out of the space rift must have gained something. There is no doubt that there was a gap of half a day between the first person to leave the space rift and the last person to leave. If he didn't get the treasure inside, why did he leave in such a hurry? ?

In half a day, with the speed of a cultivator, he can travel to many places and do many things.

Such a rare opportunity, a God-given opportunity, many people may not be able to encounter in their lifetime. Instead of seizing the time to find the treasure, they leave in a hurry. What else can it be if they have found the treasure and are afraid that if they continue to stay inside, they will be remembered and murdered?

Therefore, the first monk who went out must have obtained something valuable. There were three monks in the middle stage of Void Refining in the column, and Guan Yun was one of them.

Since he and Xiao Qian were the first people to enter the battle, they would naturally get the treasure inside earlier than others. Then there was a dispute. Guan Yun, who was superior to Xiao Qian in cultivation, killed him and took the treasure alone. Everything seemed to be logical.

The news spread quickly within the column like a bird with wings. Within a few days, everyone in the column was discussing the matter. Word of mouth spread from person to person, gradually turning from speculation into ironclad fact. It was as if someone had witnessed it.

The news naturally reached Guan Yun's ears. For this matter, he held a special meeting and called all the monks above the deputy captain of the regiment to the meeting hall. He solemnly declared that Xiao Qian's death had nothing to do with him.

According to what he said, after he and Xiao Qian entered the space rift, they went separately to hunt for treasures. They never saw each other again after that. They even made harsh words in court. If someone wanted to seriously hurt him again, they would talk in private and frame him falsely. If your reputation is found out by him, he will not take it lightly.

After Guan Yun became furious, the column leader Yan Zixian also held a meeting and told everyone about the situation inside the space crack, which was regarded as a clarification for Guan Yun.

According to what he said, there are original creatures in the world inside the space rift, and their strength is not low. During his exploration, he was attacked by the original creatures. Although it was not stated clearly, it hinted that Xiao Qian might die from the attack by the original creatures. .

The appearance of a space crack is like a pebble thrown into a plain lake, causing a ripple that quickly subsides.

As for Xiao Qian's death, after everyone discussed it privately for a while, it gradually became uninterested, and it did not trigger any form of investigation.

In the dim stone room, a man and a woman sat upright in front of a huge round stone table. This was an internal meeting of the Netherworld Sea, and the participants were all members of the Netherworld Sea organization within the column.

At this time, there were twenty or thirty people sitting inside, all members of the Netherworld Sea of ​​the Third Battalion under the Second Wing. One of the men said: "Everyone is here, let's start! Today's Headquarters Alliance The team held a self-examination and self-correction meeting as scheduled. During the meeting, senior inspector Jiang Yu particularly emphasized the importance of integrity and self-discipline and made several requirements. "

"First, in addition to complying with the requirements of the coalition forces when going out, our personnel must also obtain the consent of the highest-ranking person in the department."

"Second, all rewards given to individuals by the coalition must be truthfully reported to their superiors. Of course, this does not mean that the rewards must be taken away and redistributed. It only requires reporting statistics and no concealment. This is the consistent discipline of this department."

"Third, you are not allowed to go to gambling houses or lofts with other monks from the coalition to have fun in private."

"Since joining the Qingzhou Alliance Army, a small number of personnel in our headquarters have begun to show signs of laziness. What's more, they have become brothers with them, and have fun together in gambling houses and lofts. We must be strictly vigilant against the emergence of such signs and punish them. stop."

"We must clearly realize that the source of income of Taoist disciples and disciples of practicing families is obtained by monopolizing and exploiting the legitimate interests of others. They are like locusts, swallowing everything they pass by. In the entire Tianyuan, there is not a single area in the more than ten major states reserved for ordinary monks."

"They divided all the land and put all the resources into their pockets. Like a miser, they held it tightly in their arms and refused to give up any benefit to the many monks in the world."

"Most of the members of this department were originally casual cultivators, including myself. I don't need to explain the hardships of casual cultivators. Everyone should be aware of it."

"I still remember that in my early years, I was practicing in a quiet place in a deserted mountain. I was very poor at that time, because all the resources were in the hands of Xuanmen and aristocratic families, and I had no connections. I had to practice every day. Worried, I can only make ends meet by selling some spiritual things back and forth in the market.”

"When you are lucky, you can find opportunities to do some short-term chores for those powerful Xuanmen and aristocratic families, which is what they call recruiting monks. Since I have no connections, I will not be able to do this kind of work for a long time, and I will always be hired. He was replaced and was kicked out within a few years.”

"Thinking about it now, I worked part-time for seven or eight families in those years, and I wasn't afraid of everyone's jokes. Don't look at the Xuanmen disciples and the aristocratic disciples who looked down on the temporarily recruited monks. For me at the time, it was a pretty good job. , to the point where you have to work hard to get this kind of opportunity.”

"Although the salary and benefits are not comparable to those of formal Xuanmen disciples or children of aristocratic families, it is still more profitable than reselling cultivation items, and it is stable and comfortable."

"If I can do odd jobs under their banner and drink some soup for the rest of my life, I think I might be satisfied."

"Until that day, I still remember it very clearly. On August 14, 756, Daoding, I was practicing in the barren mountains. Several people wearing Xuanmen costumes surrounded me. It was a local family named Hua Yuezong's disciples took me away without any explanation."

"I know that if there was any resistance at that time, they would be killed on the spot, and they could only be allowed to be restrained in their bodies and taken to one of their stations."

"The reason why I was arrested was because of the death of a disciple of his sect, and they targeted me. The reason was just that a few months ago, I met the deceased man once and had a brief exchange with him. ”

"They forced me to confess and tortured me severely. When I left, I barely had a piece of good flesh on my body. I was tortured in various ways every day."

"Later I found out that the disciple of Huayue Sect who died was the descendant of a certain department inspector in his sect. The disciple who investigated the matter was eager to find a scapegoat to claim credit and reward in order to please this person."

"I was the unlucky guy they carefully selected. They finally released me, not because of conscience, but because of the organization's interference."

"At that time, the organization was still underground in Donglai County. I was a candidate under investigation. Seeing that I was arrested for no reason, the head of the organization branch sympathized with my plight, so he used his connections to rescue me from the Huayue Sect. come out."

"Since then, I have secretly vowed in my heart that one day I will overthrow these tyrannical and evil forces, not for myself, but for all the powerless cultivators in the world."

"There is no doubt that I am lucky. At least I came out alive, but countless innocent monks died tragically in their hands."

"Since our headquarters took up a place in Donglai County, many monks have joined us like a swarm. It is precisely because what we do is deeply popular with people. Even ordinary mortals who have no spiritual roots, our headquarters has specially taken care of them and built buildings for them. Mortal City to avoid interference from monks."

"So if we become like them, what's the point of our existence?"

………………

After a long speech, the room fell into a brief silence. The speaker was Inspector Hao Yuan of the Third Brigade of the Second Regiment. His emotional story made many people in the meeting feel sad.

What they didn't realize was that in the dark corner of the room, a pair of eyes was watching their every move. This person was none other than Tang Ning.

Since the last time he heard Huang Hanjiang talk about how members of the Netherworld Sea Organization frequently gathered to discuss matters, he had doubts in his heart, or maybe he was curious!

A few days ago, he went to Zeng Yang and Ling Wan to inquire.

It turned out that they didn't know what the members of the Netherworld Sea Organization were doing. Out of curiosity, he took the initiative to propose a surveillance operation. The two of them neither objected nor agreed, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Today is the meeting period, and all members of the Netherworld Sea in each brigade will gather together. They have established their own meeting place, which is this stone house.

Tang Ning used the shadow ghost technique to sneak into the room without anyone noticing. After a short silence in the room, everyone spoke one after another. They were all reminiscing about the past, telling how they had received Taoism and the spiritual family in the past. oppression.

Those who really have no such experience will tell one or two things they have witnessed or heard. The discussion lasted for about two hours, and everyone fully expressed their loyalty to the Netherworld Sea organization and their dissatisfaction and even hatred towards other forces.

After everyone left, Tangning also left the place quietly. He originally thought that the members of the Netherworld Sea Organization gathered frequently because they must have some conspiracy, or they were dissatisfied with their salary packages, or they had objections to the coalition's decision-making and wanted to gather together. They were making trouble, but when they got together, they were discussing these trivial matters.
