Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The two masters and apprentices were having a long chat in the room, chatting briefly, talking about the current situation of the people around them, and talking about the situation in Qingzhou, it seemed like it was the same as usual.

However, Tang Ning felt a hint of sadness in her heart. Yuan Ya had really changed. The two of them seemed as close as before and talked about everything, but in fact, there seemed to be an invisible barrier separating them.

From the beginning to the end, Gu Yuanya never mentioned anything about him. Where did he go during the six hundred years he disappeared? What have you experienced? Why did he suddenly break through from integration to Mahayana? These questions were not mentioned at all, as if they did not exist.

If it had been before, he would have been chirping and asking endless questions.

Seeing her "sensible" look now, Tang Ning felt no joy in her heart. Instead, she was filled with sorrow and sorrow.

Since when did it seem like there was a distance between the master and the disciple, and they no longer talked about everything without any scruples?

Tang Ning tried hard to recall the past between the two of them, trying to find the origin of this invisible barrier. It seemed to be after Liu Ruhan came to Qingzhou, and it seemed to be after Yuan Ya and Gao Yuan got married.

The exact time is completely unclear.

"Yuanya, why don't you ask me where I have been these past years? What have I experienced?"

"What the master should tell his disciple, he will naturally tell him."

Tangning's eyes were deep: "Master, I remember that you used to pester me to ask questions clearly no matter what happened."

Gu Yuanya smiled lightly: "I was ignorant at that time, but of course it is different now, otherwise my life of more than a thousand years would have been in vain."

Tangning was silent, and after a while she said, "I don't want to hide it from you, nor can I trust you. It's just that some things are very important, and knowing about them won't be of much benefit to you. I don't want to involve you too deeply. "

"Disciple understands that no matter what the master does, he is doing it for his own good. Besides, even if he knows the inside story, he can't help you much and may even cause you trouble."

"Yuanya, my master has seen the world this time. To tell you the truth, my master has gone to the world of the dead this time." Seeing her appearance, Tang Ning recalled every detail of the master and apprentice's past. I couldn't bear to hide it from her anymore, I hesitated several times in my heart, and finally spoke out.

"The world of the dead, what is that place?"

Tang Ning was about to say something when the stone door was pushed open and Liu Ruhan walked in. Gu Yuanya immediately stood up and saluted her: "Master's wife."

"Yuanya, if you, master and disciple, have anything to say, let's talk about it later!"

"What's wrong?" Tangning asked.

"Master has sent someone, please come over."

"Master, I'll go first."

"When Master has established a foothold here, you and Pan'er will come to Master. Don't reveal what you said today to anyone, including Pan'er. It will not be good for him."

Gu Yuanya responded and left. Tang Ning felt extremely uncomfortable as she looked at the old figure walking away.

"Yuanya injured her Daoji when she attacked the Void Refining Realm, and her longevity is approaching, so she looks like this." Liu Ruhan explained at the side.

Tangning nodded without saying anything. The couple left the room and arrived at Nangong Muxue's cave. They were led into the main room. Inside, Nangong Muxue was sitting on the throne waiting for them.

"master."

"Meet Uncle Master."

The couple bowed respectfully. Although Tang Ning had broken through to the Mahayana realm, due to Liu Ruhan's special relationship, she still treated Nangong Muxue as a junior.

"Here, sit down!

Tang Ning took her seat as instructed. Liu Ruhan asked: "Master, has the husband's matter come to an end? What's their attitude?"

Nangong Muxue said: "I have met with all the coalition management committees stationed at the headquarters. Most of them are tolerant and friendly about this matter. Including Senior Brother Han, they also made it clear that five hundred years of imprisonment is not an appropriate punishment. . At the next meeting, your matter will be discussed separately and a result will be discussed. "

"Although there is no guarantee that you will not be held responsible for leaving the team privately, we can basically ensure that you will not be punished like the previous resolution. On this point, they and I have reached a consensus."

"As for how to solve the problem specifically, we'll see when the time comes. Before that, you need to be investigated by the coalition forces. What Senior Brother Han means is that all coalition officers in the headquarters will set up a joint investigation team. He will personally lead the investigation team, and the investigation team will interrogate you. ”

"You need to explain all the ins and outs, including why you left the team privately? Where did you go? What did you go through? Why did your cultivation improve so rapidly?"

"The investigation team is just a formality. To be precise, it's an excuse. Almost everyone is very surprised at your rapid improvement in cultivation, and they all want to find out what happened? You have to be prepared for this."

Tang Ning nodded and said, "Disciple, I understand. Thank you very much, uncle, for your help."

"Besides the three of us, does anyone else know about the affairs of the Undead Realm?" Nangong Muxue asked.

She had previously learned from Tang Ning that the God of Death had returned to the fairy world and left a stable space channel. What concerned her most now was how to ascend to the fairy world in the future. Other than that, nothing else mattered. In order to successfully travel to the fairy world, Tangning has become a crucial figure, which is why she hurriedly went out in person to lobby the coalition leaders.

"Apart from us, only my disciple Gu Yuanya knows about this matter."

"She also knows? How far does she know?"

"She knows that her disciple has gone to the world of the dead."

"Is this what you told her?"

"yes."

Nangong Muxue frowned: "You are too emotional. It is not a good thing for a disciple of her to know this. Can you ensure that she is reliable? She will not leak it out!"

After hearing this, Tangning felt dissatisfied and said in a cold tone: "She is my disciple. She has always been respectful, loyal and filial. She will never betray me, just like my wife will never betray you."

Liu Ruhan heard the displeasure in his words and quickly smoothed things over: "His disciple Yuan Ya has long known about my husband going to the world of the dead."

"I'm not doubting that your disciple will betray you, but I'm worried that in order to find out your secrets, someone will turn their attention to your disciple. Her cultivation level is not high, and she is your confidant, so this is the best way to break through. This matter The relationship is too big. Once it is leaked out, it will immediately cause a big shock, and there will definitely be a bloody storm. Even we can't be alone. Now that she knows it, it's useless to say anything now. This matter is limited to the four of us. It must never be spread among people again.”

Naturally, Nangong Muxue could hear the displeasure in Tang Ning's tone, and said half-consoling and half-explanatory.

In the past, when the three of them met, she was in an absolutely dominant position. Even if she said a word or two that was inappropriate, it would be natural for her to reprimand the two of them. But since returning from the world of the dead, this kind of strength has been in her heart. Things have changed quietly and subtly, and sometimes it's even necessary to look at Tangning's face, with him taking the lead.

The reason for this change was not only because Tang Ning's cultivation level had improved by leaps and bounds and was now on par with him, but the more important reason was because of the representative behind him.

After traveling to the Undead Realm, Nangong Muxue fully understood Tangning's energy. Not to mention the Death God who had returned to the Immortal Realm, so many Mahayana monks in the Undead Realm were at his disposal, including those mysterious strong men who had returned from the abandoned land. They all obey his orders, and this strength alone is enough to dominate one side.

Not to mention that he is the most important person who controls the passage to the immortal world. If you look at it in the long run, you have to consider what happens after ascending to the immortal world. That is the territory of the god of death, and he can say it in front of the god of death. A talkative person.

"Master, in your opinion, what kind of decision will the coalition make to deal with your husband the next time they discuss matters?"

As Liu Ruhan was the intermediary between the two, it was inevitable that the two would have differences and did not want to continue discussing the matter, so she changed the subject and asked.

"It's hard to tell now. Although the penalty of five hundred years' imprisonment has been overturned, if you have been away from the team for such a long time, you must be held accountable. Otherwise, not only will the coalition's prestige be lost, but it will also be difficult to explain. The best result is of course to be punished and meritorious. I will use meritorious deeds to offset the punishment, perhaps pay some spiritual stones, or deduct salary. In short, I will try my best to ensure that the coalition does not impose imprisonment."

"My disciple is worried that if during the discussion here, the solution is to imprison the husband, even if it is only for a hundred years, how should we deal with it then?"

Nangong Muxue didn't answer, looked at Tangning and asked, "If this is really the case, what are you going to do?"

"Of course this is unacceptable. This disciple will not sit still and wait for death." Tang Ning expressed his attitude clearly. With his current ability, it doesn't matter even if he is separated from the Qingzhou Alliance Army and Taixuan Sect.

The reason why he came back is that, firstly, it is more convenient to do things under the banner of Taixuanzong, and secondly, all his connections are with Taixuanzong, and all the people close to him have joined Taixuanzong and the Qingzhou coalition, and he can provide people around him with it. shelter.

But if it really comes to the point of imprisonment, this is definitely unacceptable, even if you fall out, you won't hesitate.

"Front conflict is not advisable. I will try my best to keep things from getting to this point. If a decision is made about imprisonment, I will find a way to send you away."
