Chronicles of Celestial Origins

After a moment of silence, Han Siyuan said, "Tangning, the coalition investigation team summoned you for questioning today to investigate why you left your post without permission. Asking you where you have been is itself part of the investigation."

"Disciple has told the truth."

"Okay! We will investigate whether what you said is true. Can you tell us in detail what you encountered in that independent space, and why you were able to jump from the combined state to the Mahayana state?"

"In that independent space, there is a ruins. There is an alchemy hall in the ruins, and there are a large number of spirit-replenishing pills inside. After I swallowed the spirit-replenishing pills, my cultivation improved rapidly until the integration was complete, and then I attacked the Mahayana inside. Until you return with success.”

Jiang Yixin said: "Fellow Taoist Tang, isn't what you said too simple? Everyone here has experienced the process from integration to Mahayana. I believe they all have a deep understanding of the hardships and obstacles. But in your words, it seems It’s as easy as drinking water and eating. Just by relying on an unknown amount of soul-boosting pills, I have been able to reach Dzogchen from the early stage of integration and successfully achieve Mahayana success. This is incredible.”

"Please forgive me, no matter what I say, you will find it incredible. Because it is an incredible thing to advance from a combined body to a body in just a few hundred years. You must feel that there is an unknown secret in me. If you have just If you don’t believe what I said, let me put it another way! I met a god from the immortal world in that independent space. He gave me powerful power and helped me advance from the early stage of integration to the Mahayana realm. Do you think this kind of rhetoric is reasonable?”

"Tangning." Before anyone else could respond, Nangong Muxue took the lead and said in a scolding tone, "You are now being interrogated by the coalition investigation team. Correct your attitude."

"yes."

Zhu Zhiqing, the representative of the Mirror Moon Sect, continued to ask: "Fellow Taoist Tang, you said that you achieved Mahayana success in that independent space. So, that space is a world with rich spiritual energy?"

"That's right."

"But it's probably not enough to rely on strong spiritual energy to attack the Mahayana realm! I think there must be corresponding restricted areas, as well as the necessary training tools to attack the Mahayana realm."

"The elixir to attack the Mahayana realm was obtained by me from the crocodile monster. As for the restricted area, there is no one there. I found a mountain with rich spiritual energy and directly attacked the Mahayana realm. Because I have tried it before. There was no way to leave that independent space, so I was discouraged and thought about whether there would be a glimmer of hope after entering the Mahayana realm, so I gave it a rash try."

………

Everyone asked for more details, and Tang Ning answered them one by one. Anyway, they were all nonsense. The entire interview lasted for more than an hour. When no one asked any more questions, Han Siyuan announced the end of the interview.

"Now that everyone has no doubts, let's call it a day! Tangning, we will investigate what you said. As for how to deal with you, we will have to wait until the investigation is completed. In the meantime, you'd better do it. Don’t leave the coalition headquarters. This is not to put you under house arrest, but to facilitate our follow-up investigation. If you must leave for important reasons, you can explain the reason to me.”

"Yes, I'll take my leave now, disciple." Tang Ning turned and left the meeting hall.

After he left, Han Siyuan said, "Since all of you fellow Taoists are here, why don't you each tell us what you think about Tangning?"

Jiang Yixin said: "Is Fellow Daoist Han asking whether the deeds mentioned by Fellow Daoist Tang just now are true or false, or are you asking about his opinion on how to deal with his absence from duty without permission?"

"Of course it's about how to deal with him. Whether the experiences he mentioned are true or false, we can't discuss anything here. We have to send someone to investigate to find out."

"Then let's assume that what he said is true!" Zhou Buqun was the first to speak: "As an inspector of the coalition's subordinate corps, he is on the front line and leaves his post without authorization when he is on combat readiness. Logically speaking, he should be severely punished "The coalition had discussed this matter before and made a corresponding decision to imprison him for five hundred years. I think this punishment was very appropriate at the time."

"However, based on the current reality, it would be too much to imprison a coalition Mahayana monk for five hundred years. To put it bluntly, when rebellions broke out in Qingzhou, we had no control over those rebellions. None of the Mahayana monks who surrendered were dealt with so harshly."

"Now is the time to employ people. Although he has left his post without authorization, he has not caused any specific harm to the coalition forces. No matter what, it is always a welcome thing for the coalition forces to add a Mahayana monk. If a combined monk from the coalition forces disappears It only takes a few hundred years to add a Mahayana monk to the coalition. I hope there are more such people, the better.”

"Of course, I do not condone such violations of coalition regulations. Violations of coalition regulations must be punished. In my personal opinion, his future coalition salary can be deducted and he can be punished with merit."

As soon as Zhou Buqun finished speaking, Nangong Muxue answered: "Senior Brother Zhou's words agree with mine. Everyone here is an old acquaintance and knows about my relationship with Tang Ning. But I am not saying this because he is my disciple and husband. I only spoke for him because of the overall situation. When the coalition decided to punish him with five hundred years of imprisonment, I completely agreed. "

"If he is still at the level of integration, then we won't be gathering here today just to care about his little things."

"Now that he has advanced to the Mahayana realm, if he refuses to forgive him because of a small mistake he made before, it will not only appear that the coalition is making a fuss out of a molehill, but it will also cause serious internal friction. People who don't know, think that there is a personal relationship between us and him. What a deep grudge.”

"The world has never heard of a Mahayana monk being imprisoned because he went out to hunt for treasures. What's more, under the severe situation, there has never been a time when Mahayana monks are needed more than now. In order to fight against the invasion of the demons, the Qingzhou Three We can put aside our grudges for the time being among the demon tribes in the county. Isn’t there room for an outstanding talent from the coalition army who has made many meritorious deeds?”

After the two of them talked, no one in the meeting hall spoke again. Since Nangong Muxue and Zhou Buqun were both monks of Taixuan Sect, others naturally thought that this was a decision that had been made internally by Taixuan Sect, and naturally they would not speak out against it.

One of them, Nangong Muxue, had already communicated with them in advance and made his position clear.

Neither of them wanted to offend Tangning for such a thing.

The Qingzhou coalition of the three really needs fresh troops to join, and one more Mahayana monk can at least share the pressure.

Seeing that no one spoke, Han Siyuan said: "Do you fellow Taoists have any other opinions? If not, I think we should follow what Junior Brother Zhou and Junior Sister Nangong said and abolish the punishment decided last time. As for how to deal with it specifically and what kind of punishment should be given The punishment, whether it is to deduct salary, make him meritorious service, or fine him, etc., will be defined in detail at the next meeting. "

………

Tang Ning walked into the main room of Liu Ruhan's Cave Mansion. Seeing him return, Liu Ruhan immediately greeted him: "Husband, how are you? Did they make things difficult for you?"

"I haven't offended them, why are you embarrassing me?" Tang Ning took her hand and sat down: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal. At most, we just leave the Qingzhou Alliance. As the saying goes, if you don't stay here, you will have to stay. With our current capabilities, do we still need to look at their faces? The main reason why I want to stay in the Qingzhou Alliance is to take care of you."

Liu Ruhan said: "I hope the master can settle this matter. By the way, Gao Yuan has just arrived. Now he is waiting in the living room. Do you want to summon him?"

"Let him go." Tangning snorted coldly.

"Why are you so angry with me, husband?"

"This bastard, I'm not dead yet! He's bullying Yuan Ya. Back then, we promised each other our vows. Now, just because Yuan Ya failed to attack Lianxu, he dislikes him. What the hell, let him go away. , I don’t want to see him.”

………

In the spacious and bright hall, Gao Yuan was sitting upright, waiting to be summoned. He was still thinking about his son Gao Pan's words. When Tang Ning came back this time, he had entered the Mahayana realm from integration in just a few hundred years. It was him. Unexpected.

Over the years, he had learned a lot of Tangning's secrets from Gu Yuanya, including the matter of undergoing the baptism of holy blood in a special space to reshape her spiritual roots.

But this time, Tangning, who had been missing for hundreds of years, actually returned from the early stage of integration and returned through a huge realm. Obviously, there is a big secret in this.

He was curious and excited about this. After hearing the news, he rushed over from the city guard without stopping. No matter from every aspect, Tangning's substantial improvement in cultivation was of great benefit to him. , especially in this war-torn era.

Chen Xiaofan is a lesson learned from the past. No matter in terms of cultivation, ability or scheming, Chen Xiaofan is not weaker than him. It is just because his background is not strong and he is on the front line. He unfortunately died in a battle with the demons and his body was not found in the capital.

In this era of war and chaos, the death of a god-forming and void-refining monk is just a splash in the river. If Liu Ruhan hadn't taken care of him before, he wouldn't have been able to stay safely in the rear.

I heard that transferring him to the City Guard was an order given by Nangong Muxue personally, but after all, he and Nangong Muxue were still separated by several levels. It was impossible to expect Nangong Muxue to transfer him from the front line to the Linzi City Guard. He was overjoyed and pleasantly surprised.

And now that he has a closer backer, it will be of great benefit to his future cultivation and status improvement.

Just as he was thinking about it, a round-faced woman came in from the outside. Seeing her arrival, Gao Yuan stood up from his seat and asked, "Did Uncle Tang summon me to see you?"

The woman bowed and said in a low voice: "Uncle Gao, Grandmaster Tang asked his disciples to send a message saying that he didn't want to see you and told you to go back wherever you came from."

"What?" Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, his face full of disbelief: "What did you just say?"

"These are the original words of Master Tang's uncle."

"Okay, okay, I understand." Gao Yuan seemed to have just come to his senses and replied absentmindedly. His mind was racing with thoughts. He didn't know what exactly offended Tang Ning, so much so that he looked like he was trying to distance himself from him. The boundaries are general.

"Uncle Gao, please come!" The round-faced woman made a gesture of invitation, undoubtedly asking him to leave.

Gao Yuan walked out as if he was lost. When he left the hall, he suddenly turned around and said to the woman with a solemn face: "Please tell Uncle Tang that I have received great kindness from you and I dare not not repay it. If uncle treats me No matter what your prejudices are, I will kill you or cut you into pieces, but please let me see you to clarify my guilt. If my uncle doesn’t want me to stay here, I will kneel in front of the house until he wants to see me.”

After saying that, he knelt down directly on the ground.

"Uncle Gao, don't be like this, please get up! I will convey your words to Uncle Tang immediately." The woman hurriedly advised him when she saw that he looked like he was dead.

Gao Yuan ignored him and knelt there motionless.

Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, the woman quickly left the place and went to the main room of the cave to report the situation to the two of them.

"If he wants to kneel down, just kneel down! Ignore him." Tangning snorted coldly.
