Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Dark clouds covered the moon, and in the remote mountain forest, a ray of light shot down, revealing the figure of a thin, white-faced man. There, there were several people waiting for him.

Seeing him arriving, everyone rushed to greet him. An old man with a white beard said, "How are you? Have you met Tang Ning? What did he say?"

"I haven't seen him, but I have handed over the carefully selected gifts to him."

The middle-aged woman with high cheekbones next to her couldn't help but raise her voice, and said in a surprised voice: "You gave such a valuable pile of treasures to someone before you even met him. Don't you know the current financial situation of our sect? If What if he doesn't agree? Isn't it all wasted? Where can I get so many valuable things?"

The man said solemnly: "We can't bear to let the child trap the wolf. At this point, there is no other way. We can only place our hope on him. Apart from this, do you have any better ideas?"

The old man said: "Lu Xun is right, we can only place our hopes on this person. He is not only the chief of the Qingzhou Allied Forces stationed in Fanyang City, but also has a deep background within the Qingzhou Allied Forces and Taixuan Sect, and has outstanding abilities. If he is willing to replace If I argue and say something nice, my chance of being accepted back into the Qingzhou coalition will be greatly increased."

…

A few days passed by in a flash. In the meeting hall where the Fanyang City column was stationed, Tang Ning, Fang Jing, and Wang Qi gathered in a room and were discussing the spiritual stone distribution plan.

Various ministries have reported the amount of spiritual stones excavated this month. In just one month, more than 700,000 top-grade spiritual stones and more than 15,000 top-grade spiritual stones were excavated.

Fanyang City is rich in cultivation resources, with four top-grade spiritual mines and ninety-six top-grade spiritual mines.

Since the lost territory is recovered, so far, these are still unclaimed lands and can be mined by the coalition forces.

This is due to insufficient manpower. The column currently has more than 6,000 personnel, who are assigned to various pavilion cities. Each pavilion city only has more than 200 people. On average, there are three high-grade spiritual mines in one pavilion city. In addition, Tang Ning will make most of them People are sent to the top-grade Ling mining area to dig for spiritual stones, so there are not many people mining in each high-grade Ling mine.

"We need to recruit people quickly. It won't be long before all the forces in Fanyang City come to take over its resource areas. We don't have much time left." Tangning pointed at the file.

The ownerless lands in Fanyang City originally belonged to various sects and families. Most of them followed the coalition forces south and belonged to the coalition forces. There were also lands under the jurisdiction of the Taixuan Sect, the Jiang Family, and the Netherworld Sea Organization.

Now that Changshan County has been lost and recovered, all forces will definitely request the coalition forces to return their territories. This is a matter of course. The coalition forces cannot always occupy these alliance territories and exploit them wantonly.

"We have been searching for people everywhere, Fellow Daoist Tang. When are you going to send someone to deliver the portion that will be handed over to the legion?"

"Do you have any suggestions, Fellow Daoist Wang?"

"This trip takes a lot of time. I think we might as well send the Heavenly Spirit Ship to load the spirit stones and send them to Changshan County in three months."

"Then we need to send someone to say hello to the legion first, otherwise the master above may blame us for not paying the tribute."

"It just so happens that I have some personal matters and I have to leave. I will go to Changshan County to explain the situation to Senior Wang and Senior Duan!"

"Fellow Daoist Wang is leaving the headquarters. I wonder when he will return?"

"I will definitely come back within two or three months."

"Okay! Then I'll trouble you, Daoist Wang, to make a trip to Changshan County for my headquarters, so that I don't have to send people back and forth again."

………

After the discussion was over, the three of them left. Tang Ning returned to the cave. As soon as she entered the inner room, she was greeted by a man, who bowed and said, "Master, uncle, a monk from Lu Xun outside asked to see him. "

Sure enough, he came again. Tangning remained calm and kept walking: "Ask him to wait in the guest room for a while."

"Yes." The man left in response. Before it was time for tea, he came to the main room again and saluted, "Uncle Master, Senior Lu has arrived."

"Yes." Tangning responded lightly without opening her eyes. The man left silently. After half a day, he got up and left in a hurry.

Since Huang Longzong wanted something from him, he still had to show off his attitude. If he was too sincere, it would be difficult to ask for conditions.

In the spacious and bright hall, a thin and fair-faced man was sitting and waiting. He looked outside the stone door from time to time. When he heard the sound of footsteps, his anxious expression relaxed. He straightened his collar and vomited softly. He took a breath, with a faint smile on his face.

Soon, the stone door opened, and the man had already stood up, standing half sideways on the left side behind the door, like a servant who had been waiting for a long time. He bowed his head and said, "Junior Lu Xun has met Senior Tang."

Tang Ning took her seat and waved her hand: "Fellow Daoist Lu, you have been waiting for a long time. Please take a seat."

"Thank you, senior." Lu Xun thanked him, but he still stood with a slight bow, with a flattering smile on his face: "Senior's name has already been well known to this junior. It is my true honor to have a glimpse of senior's style today."

Tangning took out a storage bag in her hand, which was exactly the one she asked Gao Yuan to hand over: "Fellow Daoist Lu, I gave you such a heavy gift when we first met. What's the point?"

"It's just a small gift, what's the point! This junior and my father have admired the reputation of our senior for a long time, and have wanted to meet him for a long time, but they just regret not being able to meet him. Today, being able to look at the majestic appearance of our senior is enough to satisfy our longing thoughts. What are some external things worth mentioning?"

"Tang has been in Donglai County for a long time. Since coming to Pingyuan County, he has never had any contact with the heroes of this county. My admiration from fellow Taoist Lu is probably exaggerated! Tang is just a foothold in the coalition army, how can he be famous?"

"Senior, why should we be too modest? Senior killed the descendants of the Qingjiao royal family in Xiaosheng City and became famous in one battle. Who among the monks in Changshan County knows this? The Qingjiao royal family is known as the strongest bloodline in the world, but was killed by senior in adversity. Even we and others How proud you are! Every time my father brings this up, he always sighs and wishes he could have a drink with his seniors. "

Tang Ning remained calm. It seemed that the Huanglong Sect had a clear understanding of his identity. They didn't come to him just because of his identity as the chief of the Allied Forces Station in Fanyang City. They must have known about his relationship with Nangong Muxue. Knowing that he could speak well in front of the coalition's top brass, he gave him a heavy gift without even covering his face.

He tapped the storage bag on the desk with his finger: "Tang Mou is not related to your ancestor, but he received such a generous gift from your ancestor. I really don't dare to grant it. It is said that no reward will be given without merit. These things are still Taoist friends. Take it back!"

Seeing that his attitude had always been lukewarm, Lu Xun even returned the heavy gift he had prepared. It was obvious that he wanted to draw a clear line with them. His expression was obviously a little anxious, and he kept saying: "Those small things are the things that our sect admires." Senior, please don’t refuse me. My father has heard of your reputation for a long time and wishes you could meet him. Hearing that he is stationed in this city, he specially ordered me to pay tribute to him in the hope that I can make friends with him.”

Tang Ning raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said with a half-smile: "Friend of your noble sect, I dare not accept this title. If I accept this great gift, I am afraid that I will be accused of secretly communicating with the Mubei demon. The two armies are still fighting. Come on, Fellow Daoist Lu is visiting as a guest today, so I won’t embarrass you. Take your things back, Fellow Daoist Lu, please come back! I don’t dare to make friends with the Mubei demon.”

When Lu Xun heard this, his expression changed, and suddenly he knelt down and said: "The survival of our sect depends on the thoughts of our seniors. Please be kind to our sect and save our sect from fire and water. Our sect is grateful and grateful. From now on I must look up to my predecessors.”

"Why are you doing this, Fellow Daoist Lu? Please get up quickly!" Tang Ning waved her hand, and her spiritual power lifted her body up.

"I beg you, senior, to save me, otherwise our sect will perish!"

Seeing that he was so sincere, Tang Ning stopped trying in a pretentious manner: "Your sect asked me to save you, but what can I do for your sect?"

"Senior, if you can please inform the coalition forces, express our sect's willingness to return to the coalition forces, and say a few good words for our sect, so that the coalition forces will accept our sect again, our sect will feel the kindness of our seniors and be willing to work hard to repay the favor."

"Fellow Daoist Lu, if we had known this, why did we do it in the first place! Your sect belongs to the Allied Forces. If we had not surrendered to the Mubei Demon, we could have legitimately taken back the territory that was originally under your sect's jurisdiction."

"Our sect was temporarily frightened and was deceived by the Mubei demon. Only now did we finally realize it. I beg you, senior, to give our sect a chance."

"It's not that I don't want to help, Guizong's affairs are not easy to handle! If this woman marries her husband's family twice, will anyone still be willing to take her? During the civil strife in Qingzhou, Guizong had already surrendered to the rebels, and the coalition forces ignored the past grudges , accepted your sect, but now your sect has surrendered to the Mubei Demon. How can you make people believe in your government's sincerity by changing families again and again?"

"Our sect is well aware that our sins are serious and only our seniors can save us. As long as the Qingzhou coalition forces are willing to accept our sect again, our sect will never refuse even if we go to the sword mountain or the sea of ​​fire." Lu Xun kept his head lowered, like a child who had done something wrong. .

"Friend Daoist Lu, I have a few questions. I hope you can tell them truthfully."

"When seniors ask questions, juniors always answer truthfully and never dare to hide anything."

"I heard that your sect has thousands of disciples. Where are they now?"

"To be honest, our sect only has a few hundred monks still following us, and they are all hiding in Fanyang City."

"Where is your father? Are you also in Fanyang City?"

"Yes, my father is guarding the place where our sect hides supplies."

"I don't understand. Since you have taken refuge in the Mubei Demon, why don't you go with it? Maybe there is a chance that the Mubei Demon will return to Changshan County in the future. Please forgive me, your sect is so swaying, it is not I'm worried that if the coalition forces don't accept you, your noble clan will really become a lost dog."

Lu Xun sighed deeply: "I dare not lie to you, senior. Our sect has deeply regretted it since we took refuge in the Mubei Demon. We had long wanted to abandon the dark side and surrender to the light, but we never got the chance. In order to save our family business, our sect surrendered to the Mubei Demon." , mainly for self-protection. After surrendering, I was able to hold on to this three-acre land, but I didn't know that the Mubei demon was as greedy as a jackal and as poisonous as a snake and scorpion. "

"They accepted our sect's surrender on the surface, but they drove our government out of Fanyang City step by step. Our government's original resource areas were all divided up by Mubei forces. Not only that, our sect's disciples were also forcibly recruited into their ranks, resulting in There were heavy casualties.”

"In just a few decades, the resource areas controlled by our clan have been eroded one by one by their internal forces, leaving less than 12% of the original for our own use."

"If your ministry doesn't regain Changshan County, it won't be long before even the 10% to 20% can be saved."
