Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Chapter 1274 The Son of an Old Friend

The bright moon was in the sky, the stars were bright and the wind was clear. In Fengyu City, the clouds were falling in the valley. In front of the blue light curtain, a ray of light shot down, revealing Tang Ning's figure. He turned his hand and the talisman sank into the room.

Not long after, the light curtain in front of him melted into a corner, and a thin old man with pale temples appeared from inside. He was dressed in Mirror Moon Sect costume and was in the early stages of becoming a god. He looked at Tang Ning and then bowed his head and said, "I'm here. Liang Kuan is the head of this department, I don’t know what my friend is doing?”

"My Majesty Tangning, may I ask if Junior Brother Chen Da serves in your department?" Tang Ning returned the greeting. He came here to fulfill Chen Da's last wish. He originally served in Fengyu City in Yuguan County, so he was sent to Yuguan County to recuperate. Afterwards, I took a leave of absence and came straight here.

"Yes, Junior Brother Chen Da did serve in the headquarters before, but he has been transferred to the coalition forces."

"I know that I am here to look for Chen Qian, the surviving son of Junior Brother Chen Da. I wonder if he serves in your department?"

"Chen Qian is indeed in our headquarters. Why do fellow Taoists want to find him?"

"I came here on the orders of Junior Brother Chen Da. Junior Brother Chen was unfortunately seriously injured and died while fighting against the Mubei demon. I have had his body cremated and left his ashes and a storage bag with him. Now I want to give it to his son. Chen Qian." Tangning turned her hand over and handed Chen Da's identity token to him.

Liang Kuan took the token, checked it out, and sighed: "I didn't expect Junior Brother Chen to die on the front line. It's a pity."

"Fellow Taoist, can you let me meet your son Chen Qian?"

"Of course, Fellow Taoist Tang, please." The two of them entered the light curtain and came to a majestic hall.

"Ask Chen Qian to come see me." Liang Kuan ordered the Mirror Moon Sect disciples who were on duty in front of the hall, and led Tang Ning into the inner room, where the guests and hosts took their seats.

"Fellow Taoist Tang, just now you called Chen Da your junior brother, could it be that you are also from the Xingyue Sect? I wonder which sect you are serving in now?" Liang Kuan asked. Tang Ning was wearing the uniform of the Qingzhou Alliance Army, so she didn't know that he was Tai Identity as a disciple of Xuanzong.

"I am not a disciple of the Xingyue Sect, but a disciple of the Taixuan Sect. I used to serve in Xuantang City, Yuanxian County. Junior Brother Chen Da and I are both from Qianyi Sect in Xingang, Qinghai."

"It's rare that fellow Taoist Tang has not forgotten his old friendship and made a special trip to return Junior Brother Chen's clothes, which shows that Fellow Taoist is a virtuous person. I don't know when Junior Brother Chen was killed, but I haven't received the news yet."

"Junior brother Chen Da and I both belong to the stewards of the ninth regiment of the fourth column of the first army. When we were guarding Qianyue City, we were attacked by Mubei demons. Junior brother Chen Da was seriously injured when he returned to the warship of his headquarters. His internal organs were broken when he returned, and he died not long after. ”

"Junior Brother Chen is a loyal person and has a good reputation in this department. Unfortunately, due to bad luck, he died at the hands of a demon. It is really a pity for such a talented person."

"Fellow Daoist Liang, I wonder if Chen Qian, the son of Junior Brother Chen, has joined your sect?"

"Junior brother Chen Da and Chen Qian were both disciples of the Xingyue Sect. After the disintegration of the Xingyue Sect, junior brother Chen Da joined the sect, and his son has always been with him. Because his cultivation was not enough, he was not accepted by the sect. , so I will only serve as a recruiting monk in my headquarters for the time being.”

Tang Ning nodded without saying anything. He had expected this to happen. If Chen Qian had joined the Mirror Moon Sect and had the protection of being a disciple of the sect, Chen Da would not have left him alone on his deathbed. .

"Junior brother Chen Da is now dead on the front line. After the news comes from our sect, I will truthfully report the situation of junior brother Chen Da to the sect. Our sect will definitely compensate the surviving son of junior brother Chen Da, and maybe he will be recruited into the sect. Become a formal disciple."

"To be honest, Fellow Daoist Liang, Junior Brother Chen Da asked me to take care of Chen Qian before he died, so I want to understand the rules of your sect. I wonder what compensation your sect will give Chen Qian?"

"According to the sect's rules, any disciple who is unfortunately killed while performing a mission under the sect's order will have a corresponding pension paid to his wife or son. Based on Junior Brother Chen's cultivation and level, he will be compensated with 100 million spiritual stones. Give it to Chen Qian.”

It is only 100 million spirit stones. According to the salary standards of the Mirror Moon Sect, it is only one year's salary for a monk in the early stage of becoming a god.

"Then will your sect accept Chen Qian as a formal disciple?"

"Well! The sect has no explicit regulations. I will mention it to the sect when the time comes."

While the two were talking, footsteps sounded outside, and a tall, round-waisted man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked in. He was in his late twenties, and his face was 60-70% similar to Chen Da. He was only in the late stage of foundation building.

"Junior pays homage to Senior Liang." The man saluted Liang Kuan without squinting his eyes.

"Chen Qian, this is fellow Taoist Tang Ning from Taixuan Sect. He came here specifically to find you."

"What's the matter, senior unknown?" Chen Qian's eyes flashed with surprise, but he returned to his original state in the blink of an eye and asked calmly.

"Chen Qian, your father and I were originally classmates of Qian Yizong in Xingang, Qinghai. We met again in the coalition forces. We both served in the ninth regiment of the fourth column of the first army. Why are you here this time? I made a special trip to give your father's relics. Chen Qian Junior brother Da was unfortunately seriously injured and died while fighting against the Mubei demon army in Qianyue City."

Tang Ning spoke solemnly, turned her hand, took out a storage bag, stood up and walked to him, handed it to him and said, "This is a relic of Junior Brother Chen Da."

Chen Qian was stunned for a moment, standing on the spot like a puppet. His eyes were getting red, and his trembling hands were holding the storage bag. He said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Senior Tang, for sending me my father's relics."

After saying this, tears rolled down his face.

Tangning couldn't bear to say anything and patted his shoulder to express comfort.

"Senior, if you have nothing else to do, I will take my leave first." Chen Qian stared blankly at the storage bag in his hand, with tears streaming down his face. His tone was choked and sad, but still polite, and he turned around and left after speaking.

"Hey!" Liang Kuan shook his head and sighed.

"Fellow Daoist Liang, I have something I want to talk to Chen Qian privately about, but his mood swings are too great right now. I'm afraid he won't be able to stay rational, so I want to wait until he calms down before we talk. I'll come back to bother you in a few days."

"No problem. If Fellow Taoist Tang doesn't mind, you can stay here for a few days. I'm also very curious about the battle situation on the front line. Can Fellow Taoist tell me something?"

"Well, it's better to obey my orders than to be respectful."

"Let's do this! Let's go to the mansion and talk slowly and in detail."

The two of them got up and left the main hall one after another, came to the cave, and chatted while drinking.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. At midnight, Tang Ning arrived at the cave where Chen Da lived. Not long after, he saw Chen Qian solemnly coming out in white clothes. He bowed his head to him and saluted: "Junior, I pay my respects to Senior Tang. Senior is far away." I have come all the way to bring my father's relics here, but I can't preserve my kindness. I lost my temper in the meeting hall that day and was disrespectful. I hope I can forgive you, senior Haihan."

"There is no need to be polite. Junior Brother Chen and I have known each other for a long time and belong to the same sect. This is what we should do."

"Senior, please come in."

The two of them entered the cave one after another: "Has Junior Brother Chen's token place been placed? Take me to pay homage first!"

"Yes." Chen Qian led him to one of the rooms, where there were many rankings, including the tokens of Chen Da's parents and grandfather, and the bottom layer was Chen Da's own token.

Tang Ning took three sticks of incense and placed them on the incense burner in front of his memorial tablet. She put her hands together and bowed three times: "Junior Brother Chen, rest in peace!"

"Senior, please accept the bow of this junior." Chen Qian leaned down and bowed: "This junior has a shallow cultivation, and with my status as senior, I may not be able to repay this great kindness in my life. In front of my father's spiritual throne, I swear today, If the seniors are asked to do anything in the future, the juniors will never dare to quit even if they are in danger."

Tangning helped him up: "What are your plans for the future?"

"My father often teaches the younger generation that a real man should act openly and aboveboard. The younger generation is not qualified and can only practice hard. In the future, he will have the opportunity to join the Qingzhou Allied Forces, defeat the Mubei demon and avenge his father."

"To be honest, Junior Brother Chen asked me to take care of you when he was dying. I am here to give Junior Brother Chen his belongings and to fulfill his last wish."

"Now there are two ways for you to choose. You can choose to stay in the Mirror Moon Sect. I just asked fellow Taoist Liang Kuan that if Junior Brother Chen died fighting for the Mirror Moon Sect, they will get 100 million spirit stones as compensation, and you might also have it. Opportunity to join the Mirror Moon Sect and become a formal disciple."

"If you don't want to stay in the Mirror Moon Sect, I can arrange for you to serve in the Taixuan Sect. However, there are many wars now. I can't tell when I might be killed, so I can't give you any guarantee. But as long as I live, in the future, If there is a chance, I will definitely recommend you to join Taixuan Sect. It is up to you to decide."

Chen Qiandao: "Senior is a great benefactor to this junior. I will obey my senior's instructions in everything."

"Let's do this! In my opinion, you stay in the Mirror Moon Sect for the time being and see what their follow-up arrangements are. Junior Brother Chen Da entrusted you to me before he died because he was worried that no one would take care of you after his death. If the Mirror Moon Sect can If you are accepted as a formal disciple of the sect, then you will stay in the Mirror Moon Sect. If they refuse to accept you, what do you think?"

"Junior, I obey."

"Whether you have joined the Mirror Moon Sect or not, if anything happens in the future, you can always come to me..."
