Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The next day, he suddenly remembered the knock on the door. He opened his eyes, stood up and opened the room. He saw a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard standing outside. He bowed his head and said, "Junior Brother Tang, I'm sorry to bother you."

"Senior Brother Deng is here, please come in." Tang Ning returned the greeting. The man's surname was Deng Mingyu. He was the manager in charge of treating the wounded here, and he was also a disciple of the Taixuan Sect.

The two entered the house and sat opposite each other.

Deng Yu looked him up and down and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Junior Brother Tang would break through the middle stage of divine transformation in one go during this trip. It's really gratifying."

"It's just a fluke, Senior Brother Deng. I have been away for more than a year this time, which is a little longer than expected. It won't have any impact!"

"It doesn't matter. We are not a frontline team here, and access control is not that strict. What's more, Junior Brother Tang is a recuperative person, so trivial matters don't matter."

"To be honest, Senior Brother Deng, when I was in the Xuantang City United Team in Yuanxian County, I was demoted because I was out longer than expected. So I have been worried about whether I will be punished this time."

"Oh? Is this happening? The rules of your department are too strict. It seems that Junior Brother Tang has been bitten by a snake once and has been afraid of well ropes for ten years! But you don't have to worry here. Even if something happens, I will I will cover it for you.”

"I only arrived last night, so I couldn't disturb Senior Brother Deng. I originally planned to report to Senior Brother Deng later today, but I didn't expect you to come here in person."

"I have already said hello to the disciples of the Guard Hall, asking them to tell me immediately if Junior Brother Tang comes back. At that time, you left the headquarters and said you would return in two or three months. I see that you have not returned, so I am a little worried. , I was afraid that something might happen to you, so I wrote a letter and sent someone to your department to verify your soul stone. This morning, the people from the Guard Hall informed me of this, so I came over to have a look."

"Senior Brother Deng is worried."

"Junior Brother Tang's injury is okay! I remember that when you were first sent here, your injury was quite serious. The people below said that you would have to rest for at least a year and a half before you wake up. I didn't expect that your injury would recover so quickly. , in just one year, he continued to recover, and he actually broke through to the middle stage of divine transformation, which is really unbelievable.”

"I have cultivated a secret magical power, which has some effect on healing injuries, so the recovery is a little faster than expected."

"I see, that's right." Deng Yu turned his hand, took out a storage bag, handed it to him and said: "This is a reward issued by the legion. Since you are not in the headquarters, I will temporarily collect it for you."

Tang Ning took the storage bag and opened it. Inside, there were several bottles of elixirs and a hundred top-quality spiritual stones. There were also articles attached. The contents were the legion's recognition and appreciation for his first victory in conquering the mountain. These elixirs , Lingshi is an additional reward for his first achievement.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Deng."

"And your salary for last year has also been distributed to the Finance Hall of the headquarters. You can just take some time to get it."

"Senior Brother Deng, how has the frontline war been going over the past year or so? Is everything going smoothly?"

Deng Yu said: "The army has recovered the entire territory of Yuanxian County and is launching an attack on Zuozong County. The coalition forces swept away the previous decline and won consecutive battles, while the rebels suffered several defeats in a row, causing the army's morale to be in chaos."

"Junior brother Tang also knows that the rebels are not united. When the Jingyue Sect led the Xuanmen to rebel, many Xuanmen shouted that they were fooled, so they were not very determined to resist. During the process of regaining Yuanxian County, we Many Taoisms are based on the wind."

"In addition, on the main battlefield in Qingzhou, the rebels have been retreating one after another. The Qingzhou coalition has regained the entire territory of Jinan County. Even Shang Yuanzong has abandoned the secret and surrendered to the bright side. Yanzhou heard that a ceasefire is about to come, which makes all the rebels in Donglai County commit suicide. It’s dangerous, I don’t think the rebels can last much longer.”

Tangning nodded and said, "I didn't expect the progress to be smoother than I imagined. The entire territory of Yuanxian County was recovered so quickly. From this point of view, the rebels are like grasshoppers after the autumn. They won't be able to jump around for a few days."

"One more thing. Senior Uncle Su Yuanhua came to look for you a few days ago."

"Oh? He's here? Did he leave any words?" Tangning asked calmly.

"That's not the case. I happened to be hosting Uncle Su that day. He asked where you were now? I said you were out for something, and he left."

"Why did he come here?"

"Uncle Su didn't say much, and I didn't dare to ask. He just said that he heard you were recovering here, so he came to take a look."

Tang Ning remained silent. He had never thought that Su Yuanhua would come to see him. Could it be that something happened?

But if there is something important, Su Yuanhua will at least leave a message and ask him to find him when he returns. Furthermore, it is impossible for him to discuss anything important with him.

Could it be that Liu Ruhan arrived in Qingzhou?

After thinking about it, Tangning came up with this only possibility.

"I don't know what the relationship is between Senior Uncle Su and Junior Brother Tang? Why did they come here to visit?" Deng Yu said, breaking his thoughts.

"He is my wife's fellow disciple." Tang Ning did not hide anything and said truthfully. Anyway, this was already known to everyone and there was no need to hide it.

"That's it, let me tell you! With Master Su's temperament, why would he come here to visit you?" Deng Yu looked suddenly enlightened, thinking that this problem had been bothering him for some time.

"Listening to what Senior Brother Deng said, it seems that he has already recognized Senior Brother Wife?"

"That's of course. Uncle Su is my immediate boss, how could I not know this?"

"Senior Brother Deng is also directly under the column?"

"I am directly under the seventh wing of the column."

"Senior brother Deng, does he know which branch of the coalition army his wife-in-law currently serves?"

"I heard that Master Su is serving as the deputy captain of the fifth column of the Tenth Army."

"The fifth column of the Tenth Army? I don't know where it is stationed?"

"I really don't know where it is specifically. I'll find out more in a few days."

"That's not necessary, I'm just asking casually."

"Junior brother Tang said that your lady is a fellow junior sister of Senior Uncle Su. I don't know who she is? Does she also serve in our army?"

"My wife, Liu Ruhan, is a disciple of Nangong Muxue, the inspector of the Sili Department. She has been at the mountain gate these years and has not served in the main army."

When Deng Yu heard this, he looked at him strangely: "Inspector of the Department of Liability? Is it possible that Junior Brother Tang still doesn't know about it?"

"I don't know what Senior Brother Deng is referring to?"

"My dear wife, Master has been promoted to the steward of Qingxuan Palace and came to the Qingzhou battlefield."

"Is this happening?" Tangning was shocked: "When did this happen?"

"Uncle Su came to see you that day. When I was chatting with Uncle Yuan in the main hall, they talked about this matter. I happened to hear it from the side, but I didn't expect that Junior Brother Tang didn't know about it."

"I really don't know. When did my wife, Master, come to Qingzhou?"

"I heard that they arrived in Qingzhou with the reinforcements recruited by the sect this time. The sect has recruited three more senior officials and tens of thousands of elites this time. The leader is the master of the Secret Academy, who was famous during the Qinghai War. Zhu Ruiming is the master of the academy. The other two are the steward Nangong and the steward Zhou Buqun of Yuan Yidian."

"Really?" Tang Ning asked, thoughts racing in her mind. Nangong Muxue had broken through to the Mahayana realm, became the steward of Qingxuan Palace, and jumped to the top leadership of Taixuan Sect. This was of course a good thing for him.

This means that he at least has a real big tree to rely on in Taixuanzong. No matter what Nangong Muxue's attitude is towards him, at least in the eyes of outsiders, he must be Nangong Muxue's confidant, which gives him a lot of room for maneuver.

Since he has led his troops to Qingzhou, there is a high probability that Liu Ruhan will also be here.

Bai Jintang had said last time that Nangong Muxue had allowed Liu Ruhan to go to Qingzhou for training. There was no reason not to take her with him when he came to Qingzhou this time.

Thinking that she had arrived in Qingzhou, Tangning's heart beat suddenly. Not only was she looking forward to meeting her again, but she was also inexplicably nervous and deeply worried.

Nangong Muxue arrived in Qingzhou two years ago. If Liu Ruhan had left most of the sect's team to look for him at that time, he should have arrived in Donglai County by now.

She did not show up, but Su Yuanhua came to visit her, which proved that she was still on the front battlefield in Qingzhou, accompanying the main force of Qingzhou to encircle and suppress the rebels.

Anything can happen on the battlefield. A god-forming monk is as insignificant as an ant in a war of this level.

Even with the protection of Nangong Muxue, it is difficult to say that safety can be absolutely guaranteed. During the Battle of Qinghai, more than one or two Mahayana monks were killed or injured.

"Junior brother Tang, what's wrong with you?" Deng Yu asked when he saw that he was absent-minded and silent for a long time.

"Oh! It's nothing. I think my wife has also come to Qingzhou with her master. She and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Thinking about the past, I sometimes lose my mind."

………

The two chatted for a long time before Deng Yu said goodbye and left.

Tangning sent him out of the room and returned to the room. She sat on the edge of the stone bed and looked at the wild bamboo leaves swaying in the wind outside the window. Thinking about the past, her heart could not calm down for a long time.

A few days passed by in a flash. On this day, the sky had just turned white. Tangning was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed while she was refining her Qi. A white light flashed out. The girl in white, who was carrying a long sword and inserting a jade hairpin at an angle, stared at her with a pair of big pure eyes. he.

Before she could say anything, Tangning took the lead and said, "Master Zhanxian, please don't worry. I know it's been seven days. Please let me think about it again."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan's face suddenly darkened: "Xiao Ningzi, what do you mean by this? Haven't you thought of a way yet? Why are you so useless."

"I'm thinking. I already have a clue. Give me a little more time."

"No, you have to think of a way now." Xiao Zhan folded his hands on his chest, sat down angrily, and stared at him fiercely.

"You're staring at me like this and disrupting my thoughts. There's nothing I can do about it."

"You said it yourself. You will give me an answer in seven days. Now that seven days have passed, you say there is nothing you can do. Do you think I am easy to deceive?" Xiao Zhan said angrily: "You must come up with a way today. You have to If you can't think of it, I'll just... smash everything you eat and drink."
