Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Well, tell me everything that happened. How did he find you? What did you talk about? Tell me everything, and we will discuss it later."

"Yes, yes, let me think about it." Shen Lin said hurriedly: "That day, I was resting in the house of my private concubine. He found me and invited me to have fun at Zuihua House..."

Shen Lin explained the events before and after

"You said he asked you if there were any strange lights nearby?

"He did say something. He asked Jiangdong if he was still calm in recent years? If he had any strange stories, he asked me to tell him about them and learn more about them."

Tang Ning said, "Senior Brother Zhu, how do you think we should handle this matter?"

Zhu Liao muttered: "We still need to clarify the situation in this matter, whether he is subjectively colluding with the Demon Sect disciples, or is being deceived by them. If he knows that he is a Demon Sect disciple and is still colluding with him, he should be killed. But if he does not know the truth, the police Just give him some training.”

Shen Jingwen said: "Two fellow Taoists, it's not me who is interceding for this beast. Although he is stubborn and stupid, he does not have the courage to collude with the Demon Sect, and his cultivation level is low, so he colludes with the Demon Sect. Yu Mo What are the benefits to Zongjia?”

"It would be unreasonable to say that the Demon Sect is trying to hook up with our Shen family through him. This son neither cares about the family's finances nor affairs. He is a waste. I think he was simply deceived by the Demon Sect's disciples and played with by applause. "

"The two seniors know it clearly. The junior really doesn't know that he is a monk from the Demon Sect. The senior knows it clearly!" Shen Lin shouted.

Zhu Liao said: "Junior brother Tang, why don't we call those girls in Zuihualou to confront them and see if what he just said is true."

Tangning thought for a while and said, "Even if what he just said is true, it still cannot completely clear his suspicion. Shen Lin, there is only one way to prove your innocence now. If you can help us find the Demon Sect disciple, you will naturally have nothing to do with him. ”

"This, this, he has always lived without a fixed abode and has made his home all over the world. Where can this junior go to find him for a while?" Shen Lin said anxiously.

"I have an idea that I might try. Are you willing to cooperate?"

"As long as the junior's innocence can be proven, senior will do whatever you want, and the junior will do his best."

"We still don't know the purpose of the Demon Sect. Since the disciples of the Demon Sect have asked you about strange things in Jiangdong, you might as well take advantage of it. From today on, let the wind go and tell your friends in the cultivation world who often eat, drink and have fun together. "Say that you discovered something weird and strange. You can figure out the story yourself, the more speculative the better, and see if he will take the bait and come to you," Tang Ning said.

He didn't know the whereabouts and purpose of the Demon Sect. This was the most valuable part of the conversation between the Demon Sect's disciples and Shen Lin. He didn't know whether it was intentional or just casual. Let's give it a try for today's plan.

Anyway, it was better than nothing, it was a piece of cake for him, catching it was an unexpected surprise, and it didn’t hurt him if he didn’t take the bait.

"Yes, this junior must do his best."

"This matter must not be spread to outsiders. If anyone sees you and asks about what happened to you today, just find an excuse to explain it away."

"Yes, this junior knows."

"In that case, I'll leave first. Oh, by the way, if there is any news about the Demon Sect disciple, you can send someone to look for me at Niu Mang Mountain Taoist Temple. I will rest there." Tang Ning stood up and said.

Shen Jingwen said: "Hey, it's unfortunate that our family has such an unworthy son, which has troubled these two Taoist friends. Why don't we rest in our house for a day, allow Shen to entertain us, and show our friendship as a landlord."

"No, I have something important to do. I'll take my leave first." After speaking, Tang Ning left the hall and disappeared into the light.

Shen Jingwen turned around and said, "Brother Zhu, I hope you can mediate this matter."

Zhu Liao said: "Brother Shen, you and I have been friends for so many years. I will definitely help you if you need help."

"Thank you, Brother Zhu. You can figure out how to resolve this matter."

"This matter can be big or small. You also know that the Demon Sect has been rampant recently, which is a serious problem for our Xuanmen. The Sect is very concerned about the Demon Sect's affairs. If the matter is really reported to the Sect for disposal, it will be resolved more or less. If your family's business is affected, it would be the best outcome for my nephew to prove his innocence."

"If you can't prove your innocence, then the next best thing is to control the matter within a small area. I will talk to Junior Brother Tang when I have an opportunity and ask him not to embarrass you."

………………

Tang Ning returned to Niu Mang Mountain Taoist Temple and asked Han Lingming, "Has Yu Xiao come back?"

"Senior, envoy Yu Xian has not returned since he left the Taoist temple."

"Let him know when he comes back."

"Yes." Han Lingming responded and retreated.

Tang Ning stayed in the temple to refine her Qi and practice. Five days passed in a flash.

Yu Xiao hurried back to the Taoist temple, pushed open the retreat room that should have belonged to him, and saluted: "Uncle, I discovered the whereabouts of those monks."

"Oh? Where is it?" Tangning asked

"In Anhua County, someone saw one of them."

"Anhua County, why did you go to Anhua County? Weren't you in Jingping County before?"

Anhua County and Jingping County are seven hundred miles apart. This group of people is now in Anhua County. Could it be that they are here for the Jingyun Mountain Spirit Mine?

When the Demon Sect was broken into pieces and each branch was still there, there were disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect lurking in Jiangdong.

Now that the Demon Sect has been integrated into one place, all the disciples have gathered and opened a portal near the Xushu Mountain Spirit Mine. They traveled thousands of miles and took such a big risk to come to Jiangdong not for the Jingyun Mountain Spirit Mine, but for what?

He couldn't help but think of what Shen Lin said at the Shen family a few days ago. The Demon Sect disciple once asked about strange things in Jiangdong. Could it be that...

"Disciples are also confused about this matter. Anhua is hundreds of miles away from Jingyun. I don't know why they appeared there."

"Where is that man in Anhua County?"

"Last night, a beggar saw the monk in the ruined Temple of the City God, fifty miles south of Anhua County. It was already dawn when the news came."

"Since they haven't left, it means that the matter has not been completed. You continue to monitor. I will go to Anhua County to have a look."

After Tangning said that, she left the room and disappeared into light.

After traveling for about a day, I arrived at Anhua County. After flying for more than a hundred miles to the south of the city, I saw a dilapidated City God's Temple.

He walked in. There was a broken stone statue of a ferocious god directly above the temple. Spider webs could be seen everywhere on the roof. The ground was quite clean. There was no one in the temple. It was obvious that the Demon Sect monk had left long ago.

Tang Ning thought that since this person was resting here, maybe he had something to deal with nearby, so he left the temple gate and searched around. Until nightfall, he could not see the person in the portrait.

He returned to the temple, hoping to wait and see. He stayed there until dawn on the third day, but when he didn't see anyone, he returned to Niumanshan Taoist Temple.

………

Zuihua Tower is located in the east of Huayang County, one hundred and eighty miles away from the county town. There is no house in the surrounding area for thirty miles, but there are a few scattered shops.

Normally, even ordinary people would not want to move to such a remote place, let alone build brothels and shops here, which is beyond the comprehension of most people.

In fact, this Zuihua Tower is not opened for ordinary people. It does not entertain ordinary people. Even the nobles of the royal palace and wealthy merchants are not allowed to enter. Only people from the cultivation world can come here to have fun.

Including the surrounding shops, what they sell are not extraordinary objects, but elixirs, talismans, magic tools and the like needed for the practice world.

To put it bluntly, this is a small-scale market that provides business for nearby monks. If you come here during the day, you can still see many casual monks setting up stalls on the roadside. There are many such places in the spiritual world, especially for those who are popular among monks. Xiu loves it.

The casual cultivators were poor and the prices in the regular market were too high, so they were unwilling to go to the regular market to trade, so they gathered here.

There is free trade here, and prices are at least 10 to 20% lower than in Fang City. If someone else is in urgent need of spiritual stones, the price can be even lower. Unlike in Fang City, there is no room for bargaining.

The only thing that is not as good as Fangshi is that the safety is not guaranteed. This place is open to all kinds of rivers, and there are people from all walks of life, and there is no strong force to control the situation, so murders and goods are not uncommon.

Zuihua Building is one of the signatures of this place. The owner behind it is the Shen family. However, only a few people know that the person behind the Shen family is Zhu Liao, the head of Jiangdong of Qian Yizong. There are other people in Zuihua Building and nearby shops. Inside.

Shen Lin held a beautiful woman with a lightly powdered face in his left hand, and a plump and coquettish woman in his right hand. He was chatting and laughing with the people next to him. The two women fell into his arms with love and gasped for breath.

The women in Zuihua Tower have all received special training and are well versed in the art of intercourse.

"Come on, everyone, let's have another drink." Shen Lin picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"Speaking of which, I discovered something strange a few days ago. It was really strange."

"What's happening?" someone asked

"That day, I was having a banquet here. When I returned home, I saw a bright light flashing in the distance and disappearing in an instant. It was really weird."

Another person laughed and said: "What's so weird about it? It's just a ray of light, or monks fighting. Why is it so strange? It's not an ordinary thing for you and me as monks, why is it so rare and strange for fellow Daoist Shen."

Shen Lin shook his head and said: "No, Shen is not a person who has never seen the world. I can't tell the difference between monks fighting. The light is really weird. I dare say it is not caused by the monks, but it may be some kind of treasure."

"Oh?" Others asked with interest after hearing this: "Why is Fellow Daoist Shen so sure?"

Shen Lin said: "Although the light only lasted for a short moment, the spiritual power contained in it was very pure. It was definitely not transformed by the spiritual power in the body of the monks fighting. When I rushed there, there was still some spiritual power left in the world, and It is accompanied by a strange fragrance, so I conclude that it is definitely not caused by the monks fighting, and it may not be a spiritual treasure."

"Where is the vision that Fellow Daoist Shen mentioned? We can go and see it."

"That place is..." Shen Lin suddenly paused: "Hey, forget it, let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it. Maybe it's really possible that the monks were fighting. Come on, let's continue drinking."
