Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Chapter 1567 News of Death (Thanks to the book friend "I am Liu Gaoxing" for the 50,000 starting point coin reward)

Tang Ning returned to the cave, and as soon as the light disappeared, Zhuang Qing, who was waiting outside, greeted her: "Uncle, you are back. Master has just arrived and is waiting for you at the mansion."

Hearing this, he quickened his pace and came to the main room, where Liu Ruhan was already waiting. Seeing his return, he stood up and went to greet him.

"Ruru, you're here. What's wrong? What happened?" Tangning saw that she was in a bad mood and sat down holding her hand and asked.

"Husband, Yuan Ya..." Liu Ruhan said softly.

Tangning's heart sank and she blurted out, "What happened to Yuanya?"

"She... passed away." Liu Ruhan took out a piece of letter: "This is the letter she wrote to you before she died."

Tang Ning's mind went blank for a moment. She received the letter and opened it with some numbness. However, she saw that the handwriting on it was beautiful and it was written by Gu Yuanya.

"Master, please come again. Disciple Gu Yuanya bows his head and bids farewell."

"Master, when you receive this letter, my apprentice has passed away. Master, there is no need to be sad for my apprentice. My apprentice has already foreseen this day."

"My disciple is a mediocre person in the world. Fortunately, he met his master in prison. This is a great blessing for me in this life. I am very satisfied to be able to live today. The only thing I am afraid of is that I cannot repay the kindness of my master."

"I still remember the time when the master took his disciple to the Qianyi Sect, soaring in the sky, wandering among the clouds, and the disciple..."

……………

The letter filled three pages. Tang Ning looked at the lines of text, as if Gu Yuanya's voice and smile were all in front of him. In his mind, every bit of the past between the two of them flashed by like a horse.

When we first met him in the Gu Mansion, he looked shy and intimidated.

An innocent little girl who grew up chattering and heartlessly.

From Qinghai to Taixuanzong, he has always been by his side.

"Master, where are you taking me?" the little girl asked timidly.

"Master, why can't I hold these clouds?" The little girl opened her curious eyes wide and ran her fingers through the white clouds. It was the first time that she flew high in the sky and shuttled through the sea of ​​clouds.

"Master, this is a rare thing. I saw it by a big river when I went out last time. You see, the shape has no trace of carving. It is smoother than jade. It is forged by the miraculous craftsmanship between heaven and earth. Master You have to keep it. If I die one day, you can bury it next to me. Or you can just keep it and treat it as if I am accompanying you." The youthful girl looked serious.

"I have already thought about it. If I can't find the master, I will go back to Xingang and die alone there." After experiencing the battle of Qinghai, the girl was heartless and didn't care.

"I'm sorry, master, my disciple has caused you trouble." Gu Yuanya, who has reached middle age, looked guilty after being set up by Ding Jianyang.

"Master, you are finally back. I thought I would never see you again." The white-haired old woman had tears in her eyes.

Scenes of the past reappeared as if they were yesterday, and Gu Yuanya's behavior and voice seemed to come alive on paper, waving goodbye to him.

"Yuan Ya, go!" Tears welled up in Tang Ning's eyes, her palms dropped weakly, and the letter in her hand fell to the ground.

…………

The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the cold moonlight penetrated into the room. Tang Ning stood in front of the window, looking at the full moon in the sky. In her hand, she stroked a heart-shaped pebble that was dark black and as smooth as jade. There were two words engraved on it. The word "Ya" is engraved on one side and the word "Ning" is engraved on one side.

It was the gift that Gu Yuanya gave him back then, and he had kept it with him all these years.

Stroking the cold stone, feeling so far away from each other, he felt very sad.

Gu Yuanya was not a child in his heart, but more like a child.

After so many years in the world of the dead, the only people he couldn't let go of were Liu Ruhan and Gu Yuanya.

I originally thought that after returning to Qingzhou, I could reunite husband and wife, master and disciple, but I never thought that Yuan Ya would be so old.

From the moment he saw her old appearance, he knew that Gu Yuanya's time was short, and she would only live for more than a hundred years at most. He thought he could accompany her in her last days, but unexpectedly she was transferred to At Taixuanzong's mountain gate, the Xuanmen coalition came.

Of course, he also thought about bringing Gu Yuanya back to the mountain gate, but in the end he couldn't make a decision. Even if he transferred her to the Taixuan Zong Mountain Gate, he might have to go to that state and county to fight against the demon invasion one day. There's no point in going through it.

What's more, Gu Yuanya already has a family, a husband and children. In her last days, she should be with her children and husband, not herself as a master.

"Husband." Liu Ruhan walked lightly from behind, put her palm on his back, and said softly: "Yuan Ya's body has been cremated, and her ashes are left at Pan'er's place."

Tang Ning held her palm and nodded without saying a word. She lowered her eyes and looked at the heart-shaped soft stone in her hand with the characters "Ya" and "Ning" engraved on it.

On the cold stone, I could vaguely see Gu Yuanya's smiling face waving at him.

………

The sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky. The Leizi ship was shining brightly, speeding through the thick clouds. Electric arcs shone all over its body. Wherever it passed, the thick clouds scattered one after another.

In the distance, a majestic and majestic city stands.

The Lezi ship lowered its altitude, slowed down, and slowly approached the giant city.

The warships patrolling around the city walls also slowly approached. After several inspections, the Lezi ship gradually approached the city walls under the guidance and escort of the patrol warships.

On the deck, everyone could clearly see from a distance the three characters "Hedong County" with golden light flowing on the towering city outline.

At this time, a figure flashed forward, and in the blink of an eye, it was on the Leizi ship. It was a middle-aged man with a thin figure and gray hair on his temples. He was wearing the uniform of the Liangzhou Allied Forces and was in the middle stage of Mahayana cultivation.

"Fellow Daoist Ying, it's been a long time." The man saluted the leader, Ying Yuanji.

"We haven't seen you for many years. My Taoist friend Ji is still as charming as ever, but I am getting old." Ying Yuan bowed his head in return.

"Junior Brother Deng, thank you for your hard work." The man nodded to Deng Shiyuan again.

"Senior Brother Ji, you don't have to be polite. This is the responsibility of this department."

The man turned to Yi Wenpang and said, "If your guess is correct, you must be fellow Taoist Yi! Although you are not masked, I have long admired his name. I am honored to meet you."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist, I'm waiting here."

"This is my duty." The man surnamed Ji turned to Tang Ning again, his eyes were bright as if there was light, and he said: "Then this is Fellow Taoist Tang. I have admired Fellow Taoist's name for a long time, and it is a great blessing to meet him in person today. "

Tang Ning knew that his promotion to the Mahayana realm from the early stage of integration several hundred years ago had now spread throughout Tianyuan, so he was not surprised by his behavior, words and deeds. He just responded lightly: "I have heard of Taoist Fellow Ji for a long time."

"Fellow Taoist's name has been spread all over the world. I didn't believe it when I first heard about it. But now that I have met you in person, I know that the rumors are true. Taoist Taoist Tang is indeed a proud man of heaven, and his demeanor is indeed extraordinary."

"Fellow Daoist Ji is so flattering that I am so ashamed that I cannot deserve it."

"Your unit has traveled thousands of miles to support our war situation. On behalf of everyone in the Liangzhou Alliance Army, I would like to express my sincere welcome and gratitude."

While a few people were chatting politely, the Lezi boat had slowly sailed into the city and stopped in a spacious valley. The man led a few people to rest at the lodge.

The next day, Tang Ning and others were invited into the meeting hall of Hedong County. Sitting on the main seat inside was a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face. His brows were furrowed and he looked like he was bitter and resentful. He was the Taoist Sect's Qingxuan Hall. Lord Sun Jingyuan.

Sitting on the left and right sides were six men and women, all Mahayana monks.

The four people came in from outside. Ying Yuan bowed his head to the man on the throne and said, "Fellow Daoist Sun, all the members of our headquarters have arrived in Hedong County. What are the next steps?"

"Fellow Taoists, please take your seats first."

Several people sat down as told.

"Let me introduce to you first. This is Junior Brother Ji Yao from our sect. You have met us yesterday." Sun Jingyuan pointed to the left side with his palm and introduced in turn: "This is Taoist Brother Wang Ping from Tianxing Sect. This is Brother Wang Ping from Tianxing Sect. Fellow Daoist Tian Jia Tian Yu.”

Then he pointed his palm to the right: "This is Fellow Taoist Feng Rong of the Yue Feng Sect, this is Junior Brother Yang Hong of our sect, and this is Fellow Taoist Lu Lingyuan of the Lu family."

Among the six people, two were disciples of the Taoism Sect, two were from local Liangzhou aristocratic families, and two were from the local Xuanmen sect in Liangzhou.

Among them, Ji Yao, the first person on the left, and Feng Rong, the first person on the right, are both middle-stage Mahayana monks, and the others are all early-stage Mahayana monks.

Of course, there are more than just these people in the Liangzhou Allied Forces. Some of the others are distributed in Henan County, and some are on the front line.

This is the rear area in comparison, it is the headquarters of the Liangzhou coalition forces.

"These are members of the Xuanmen Alliance, here to support the battle in Liangzhou." Sun Jingyuan did not stop and continued to introduce the four people: "This is fellow Daoist Yingyuan of the Shangqing Sect, and this is Yiwen of the Yuxu Sect. Fellow Taoist Pang, this is my fellow disciple Deng Shiyuan, and this is fellow Taoist Tang Ning of the Taixuan Sect.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the other people in the hall immediately focused on Tang Ning.

"Your Excellency is Taoist Taoist Taoist Tang of Taixuan Sect. I heard that Taoist Taoist has only been practicing for three thousand years, and it only took six hundred years to break through the Mahayana from the early stage of integration. Is this true?" Feng Rong asked directly.

I don’t know why, maybe it’s the difference in the internal structure of the body, but the proportion of women with spiritual roots in the world is much lower than that of men. Correspondingly, the number of female cultivators is much less than that of male cultivators, and the number of female cultivators among top monks is even more. There are very few, ten Mahayana monks rarely see a female monk.

Feng Rong can be said to be the most accomplished female cultivator he has ever seen. Her temples are white and she looks to be in her fifties or sixties. She also has some wrinkles on her face. However, her beautiful eyes are very crystal clear, and she can look at someone who must have been beautiful when she was young. .

"I'm just lucky." Tangning responded lightly. He was also helpless. Since returning from the Mahayana breakthrough, he had to be asked such topics whenever he met someone. He had heard similar words countless times. Every time I have to take the trouble to repeat it again.

Sometimes he really wants to tell you that it's none of your business. Of course, this is just a thought, and he can't really do it.

If the identities were exchanged, if he had been practicing hard all his life and was on thin ice, and had gone to great lengths to break through to the Mahayana, but he met someone who had easily gone from integration to the Mahayana realm in a few hundred years, I am afraid he would not be able to help but feel guilty. It is human nature to be curious and ask the other person why.

"It is rumored that Taoist friend obtained ancient relics and treasures in a certain space secret realm, so his cultivation level has improved by such a rapid pace?

"That's what happened. There was a large amount of spirit-boosting pills there. After I swallowed them, my cultivation level skyrocketed."

"Even if there are a large number of spirit-replenishing pills, it is difficult to achieve a breakthrough in cultivation just by relying on the spirit-replenishing pills. It is incredible that fellow Taoist disciples can break through to the Mahayana realm from integration in such a short period of time."

Tangning didn't want to dwell on this matter, so she remained expressionless and didn't answer.

Seeing that he was not interested in talking in depth, the others did not continue to ask further questions.
