Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Summer turned to winter, and a few months passed quickly. The green pines and green cypresses in the mountains had changed their colors. As the white snow fell, the Tenth Legion ushered in the first batch of conscripted monks.

On the towering mountain peak, a Heavenly Spirit Ship slowly stopped. The monks on board jumped off one after another and formed a neat queue under the command of the leading coalition monk.

Not long after, several rays of light came from afar. After some fussing, the leader pulled out the file. As his words fell, everyone filed out one by one.

"Chen Xiaofan, Gu Yuanya, Gao Yuan, Chu Lian, Huang Jingyuan..." After the man holding the file finished speaking, more than ten people immediately came out from the crowd.

"You are assigned to the wing directly under the column."

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.

Soon, a man led them to the meeting hall on another mountain peak. Two people were sitting inside. Seeing everyone arriving, one of them stood up and asked, "Who are Gu Yuanya, Gao Yuan, and Chen Xiaofan?"

The three of them looked at each other and walked out.

"You come with me." The man said, stood up and walked out. The three of them followed closely. They left the main hall and came to a cave and went straight into the inner room.

"Uncle Tang, as you ordered, the disciples have brought all three of them here." In the main room, the leading man bowed and saluted Tang Ning, who was sitting upright.

"Excuse me, you go first!"

"Disciple resigns."

"Disciple pays homage to Master." After he left, Chen Xiaofan and Gao Yuan immediately bowed and saluted.

"No need to be polite, you all can sit down!"

The three of them sat down as instructed.

"Master, we are finally disciples of Taixuan Sect now." Gu Yuanya said with a smile.

After marrying Gao Yuan and becoming a wife, her temperament has become a little more restrained. She is no longer as cheerful as before, and looks a little more stable and mature as a woman.

A few years ago, Taixuan Sect expanded the number of disciples and relaxed the restrictions on recruiting monks to join the sect. Tang Ning recommended the three of them. Now that the appointment was finally handed down, the three of them joined Taixuan Sect as they wished, so they were immediately recruited into the coalition army. This is a rigid rule of the sect. They must at least serve for a full term in the coalition before they can receive the same treatment as other official disciples.

In other words, these decades are an inspection period set by the sect for them. During this period, they must obey the arrangements of the coalition forces without making any mistakes. Once they are punished and fail the inspection period, the sect can send them back to their original positions. The land refuses to accept the door.

Because they are not official disciples now, their salary is only half of that of official disciples.

Originally, most of the monks like them who were recruited into the coalition army were assigned to the front line to fight against the Mubei demons.

Now the Mubei demons are attacking Luzhi and Zuozong counties, and most of the disciples recruited as monks have been arranged there.

The reason why the three of them were sent to the 10th Column of the 10th Army was naturally because Tang Ning had some connections and transferred them here.

"Don't be too happy too soon. Joining the coalition is no better than being in Qingwu Camp. You may rush to the front line at any time. I won't be able to take care of you then. Whether you can survive the cruel war depends on you. When you face Mubei Demon, if you are seriously injured or lose your life, don’t blame me, it’s your own choice.”

Chen Xiaofan then said: "Uncle, I owe you a lot of kindness to my disciples. I am able to successfully pass the selection and join the Taixuan Sect this time all because of your strength. It is hard for my disciples to repay the kindness of my uncle, even if they go through fire and water. As for life and death, they have their own destiny." , If you really can't die, you can only ask for the ring knot grass in the next life to repay your great kindness, how dare you blame your uncle."

"Master, don't worry. It's not like we haven't encountered the Mubei demon before. Didn't we also come over during the Qinghai battle?"

Tangning snorted coldly: "Hmph! Of the three of you, you are the one who worries me the most. What's more, at this moment, during the battle of Qinghai, Qingzhou's civil strife had not yet broken out. Qingzhou's overall strength was not weak, and it was indistinguishable from Mubei's demons. The two brothers have been fighting for more than a hundred years, with each other winning and losing, but in the end they never made it to Yuanxian County."

"But now Qingzhou's overall strength has been greatly reduced, and it is no longer a match for Mubei Demon. Yuanxian County has been captured. Luzhi County and Zuozong County will not be able to hold on for long. Even the entire Donglai County is in danger. This situation of defeat is like a mountain. You haven’t seen it before.”

"In the last battle in Yuanxian County, our headquarters suffered 60% casualties. Tens of thousands of people were killed and tens of thousands were injured, many of whom were seriously injured and died. If you have experienced it once, you will know how terrible this kind of defeat is. "

"I'm not trying to scare you, I just want you to be mentally prepared. In short, when facing a real war situation, you must prioritize your own preservation. Of course, you must also abide by coalition regulations and obey the arrangements of your superiors."

"You are all still in the inspection period, so be careful not to make any mistakes."

"Yes." Gao Yuan and Chen Xiaofan responded in unison.

Gu Yuanya asked: "Master, will the master's wife also come to serve in the coalition this time?"

"I don't want her to be recruited into the coalition forces. If she is to come, she should also come to serve in the headquarters!"

"Master, what positions do you assign us to the direct alliance?"

"Currently, there are vacancies for management positions in each brigade. You will take the position of brigade management for the time being."

They chatted for a long time, and Tang Ning explained many matters to them. In the end, she kept Gu Yuanya by her side and sent Chen Xiaofan and Gao Yuan to the direct alliance.

The master and apprentice were alone in a room, chatting about everyday gossip. After Gu Yuanya got married, she moved out of Liu Ruhan Cave Mansion and lived with Gao Yuan.

In the past few years, the master and apprentice have hardly been alone together. As a person who has experienced this, Tang Ning naturally understands how husband and wife get along. But as a master, it was not easy for him to ask too trivial and detailed questions. He only asked some insidious questions about daily life. He was relieved to learn that the couple got along well.

In his heart, of course, he still prefers Gu Yuanya. Although Gao Yuan's character is not bad, he is always worried that Gu Yuanya will not be happy after getting married.

…

The days of the coalition forces in Donglai County were considered to be uneventful. Winter and spring alternated, cold and summer passed, and time passed by like a white horse, and many years passed in a flash.

In front of the meeting hall of the 10th Column, a ray of light shot out, revealing Tang Ning's figure. Inside, Zhu Zhen was sitting upright on the main seat. Below and on the left was a man with red phoenix eyes and a face as heavy as a jujube. He was the 10th Column. Newly appointed inspector Bao Wenkang.

The two of them were chatting, all about news about the war on the front line.

After Tangning nodded to the two of them, she sat down at the first seat on the right and immediately joined them in the conversation.

"It is rumored that Mubei has sent a lot more troops and has sent troops to Yuguan and Tianquan counties."

"Our manpower in Donglai County alone may be difficult to stop. If the coalition forces do not send reinforcements, Donglai County will be eroded by them step by step sooner or later."

"Now, Yuanxian, Zuozong and Luzhi counties have all fallen into the hands of Mubei demons. If they take over Yuguan and Tianquan, they will go straight to Donglai County. I heard that the coalition forces are already organizing their counties , the sects and cultivating families in the city have to evacuate.”

"The headquarters must also be prepared. It is estimated that the coalition forces will dispatch the headquarters to reinforce Yuguan and Tianquan counties at any time."

…

While the three of them were chatting, people came in from outside from time to time. Before it was time for tea, all the column stewards had arrived.

This was the daily discussion of the column. Zhu Zhen stood up and went through a series of recent affairs of the column. Everyone spoke one by one. The discussion went on as usual for more than an hour, and everyone returned to their places after the end.

At night, while Tang Ning was practicing in the cave with his eyes closed, there was a sudden flash of white light. He opened his eyes and saw a girl in white wearing a long sword. He was also surprised that Xiao Zhan suddenly ran out, and saw the look on her face. He was full of excitement and joy, holding a green gourd in his hand.

"Xiao Ningzi, look, this gourd is reacting."

"What?" When Tangning heard this, she was startled and stood up suddenly. Before he could figure out what was going on, Xiao Zhan had already pulled out the Heaven-Destroying Sword behind him and pointed it toward the gourd's mouth.

"Master Zhanxian, don't come here anymore..." Tangning wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Before he could finish his words, a white light poured into the room.

In an instant, it felt like the sky was falling and the earth was falling. The whole cave trembled, and the gourd mouth continued to expand and contract.

"Master Zhanxian, what are you doing?" Tangning asked in shock. At this point, he was powerless to stop him. The gourd was stirred by the sword energy, and the innate energy inside would soon escape, and it was bound to cause a big disturbance. Come.

But Xiao Zhan just stared at the gourd with an excited face, turning a deaf ear to his words.

In order to prevent others from being alerted and Xiao Zhan's existence exposed, he suddenly thought, the sapphire lamp floated out from the storage bag, and the cyan light bloomed, condensing into a cyan light curtain, covering the entire cave.

At this time, a small mercury-like object was seen floating out from the inside. This object was only the size of a grain of rice and was as clear and translucent as ice crystals.

However, the shock it brought was earth-shaking. Tangning looked at the ice crystals the size of rice grains floating out, her pupils shrank suddenly, her mouth opened, and she was stunned for a moment.

In an instant, rich and pure spiritual energy filled the entire room.

Tang Ning was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

It actually succeeded. After the gourd swallowed the demon pill and settled for two hundred years, it actually condensed solid spiritual energy. Although the 'ice crystals' in front of me were only the size of rice grains, they were incomparable with the 'ice crystals' that floated out when the gourd was obtained in the mysterious space. But it is a genuine solid spiritual power crystallization.

He had never thought that the gourd could condense solid spiritual power crystals through the demon pill. The reason why he added the demon pill to the gourd back then was because he couldn't stand Xiao Zhan Chengtian's pressure, so he just perfunctory her.

In fact, he never had any hope in this. Later, Xiao Zhan urged him to add more demon pills several times, but he was put off by him.

However……
