Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tangning opened the box and took a look. Sure enough, there was a wooden sign with the word "干" engraved on it.

"That's the house number of Qian Yizong. With it, you can join the Immortal Sect. Cui Yilin killed thirty-four members of my family just for this thing. Now I understand. It turns out that he had a child. Others thought He was alone, but he didn't expect that he had already married a wife and had children. He had secretly built a tunnel after hiding it for so many years. He was indeed very cunning. It seems that he had not planned this plan for a year and a half. "

Did the master really kill his whole family? Tangning felt uneasy and asked, "Did you kidnap Ruru?"

"If you are so capable, you won't let Cui Yilin, a thief, run free for so long. Tangning, I told you that you are my only friend. Leave quickly and go to Yizong. Maybe you will have a chance to meet her." Gu Chengqian said calmly

"Master asked me to hand it over to my wife, and I can't live up to his last wish."

"Don't be stupid. Do you know how many people have ruined their families for this wooden sign? Cui Yilin is just using you. Do you know why Cui Yilin keeps this wooden sign with him and doesn't give it to his children? Because he has a guilty conscience and committed suicide. I thought I could not find him if I did it perfectly, and I was afraid that others would suspect him, so I didn’t dare to leave the caravan rashly to see his wife, and I was even more afraid that others would follow along to find out his wife’s whereabouts.”

"Just for this wooden sign, Cui Yilin married and had children without telling everyone, secretly built tunnels without telling everyone, and worked hard for so many years. Now that this wooden sign is in your hand, you want to make a wedding dress for him. Don’t you want to see your fiancée again?”

"This rain is just right. After the heavy rain, the footprints will be washed away. No one can find you for the time being. Leave now. All the people in the caravan who are loyal to Cui Yilin have been eliminated. Your wanted order will be posted in every county tomorrow. County." After speaking, Gu Chengqian turned and left.

Tangning watched him leave in a daze, and then looked at Cui Yilin who was lying on the ground with disheveled hair and a mess. She stretched out her hand to close his eyes, got on the white horse and galloped away.

After walking for a long time, Tang Ning stopped to figure out the direction, broke off a branch and stabbed the horse's butt hard. The horse felt the pain, screamed, and ran in the opposite direction.

It's definitely not possible to take the main road now. Gu Chengqian said that tomorrow his wanted notices will be posted in various counties. Now he can only take the trails and climb over the mountains.

We have to get some food first, otherwise we will starve to death on the mountain.

Tang Ning walked a few miles forward and saw a large house with lights and colorful decorations. She climbed over the wall and entered the kitchen. This family must have been having a banquet these days, and there were still a lot of things left in the kitchen.

I found a cloth bag inside and filled it with a bag full of food, including steamed buns, steamed buns and the like. Then I filled a kettle with two bottles of water and left quietly.

He passed by Tiannan County last time, so he knew the general direction. He walked all night and found a secluded place to sleep after dawn. Not to mention that there were wanted orders for him all over the city. Just a young man carrying a broken man on his back. Sacks don't go on official roads, and walking alone on mountain trails is suspicious.

Tang Ning ran away day and night for nearly a month before arriving in Tiannan County. When she almost ran out of food, she went to nearby people's houses to steal some. Sometimes she could survive being hungry. Fortunately, there were streams in the mountains, which not only ensured drinking water. , and you can wash and wash frequently.

There was a wanted notice for him posted at the city gate, and there was a soldier's handle at the door. How to get into the city was a big problem. He lurked in a family's house outside the city for three days, hiding under the carriage, and followed the family's carriage into the city.

After entering the city, he disguised himself as a beggar and came to Quang Ngai County, pretending to be seeking refuge with relatives. He found out the address of a family named Mu on the bank of Xishui Lake, and then secretly broke in through the door at night.

Tangning didn't dare to knock on the door for fear of arousing suspicion, so she had to pry open the door sheath and get in. As soon as Fang stepped into the room, the whole room suddenly lit up.

"I've been waiting for you for several days and finally you're here. I thought you were caught by the soldiers." Gu Chengqian blew out the fire stick in his hand.

Tang Ning looked at him, remembering that day he also heard the conversation between her and her master: "Where is the master's wife and master's child?"

"What do you think?" Gu Chengqian said expressionlessly, "If you put it here, it will rot and smell bad."

"Why did you do this?"

"Cui Yilin slaughtered my whole family just so that his children could go to the Immortal Sect. Will I let him succeed? He died too happily, so I took some rewards from his wife and children."

Tang Ning clenched her fists and said angrily: "Why don't you inform the officers and soldiers that I have the wooden sign in my hand? This contribution is enough for you to rise to the top."

Gu Chengqian said: "Are you going to kill me? It's easy to do it with your skills."

Tang Ning stared at him intently, but found that she only had anger but no hatred, let alone murderous intentions.

"Where to go next? Qian Yizong? I'm sorry about kidnapping your fiancée, although it didn't succeed." Gu Chengqian walked past him and walked straight out the door.

When he crossed the threshold, he paused and whispered, "Tangning, take care."

Tang Ning turned around and looked at his retreating back, feeling mixed emotions in his heart. After a while, he took out the small wooden box, opened it, and touched the wooden sign with the word "Qian" engraved on it. The sign looked wooden but was not wooden. , it is not made of stone, it looks rough but is extremely smooth to the touch.

"Cui Bufan, Bufan, Bufan." Tang Ning muttered and sighed softly. How much the master hopes that his child can escape the mortal world!

There is a map drawn on paper under the wooden sign, which is the geographical location of the Luoyun Mountains.

Tangning put away the wooden sign and map, knelt down and kowtowed three times before leaving, quickly disappearing into the night.

……………

Three months later, in the mist-shrouded mountains, a lump of soup fire rose up. Two young men with swords were talking around the soup fire.

"Oh? So Cui Yilin has exhausted all his traps and reaped the consequences? It has given you an advantage. The opportunity of the Immortal Family that many people dream of has been obtained by you without any effort. I am afraid some people are going to be angry to death." A young man in brocade clothes said. said

The other young man frowned after hearing this. This man was of course Tang Ning, but his appearance was much worse than that of the young man in brocade clothes next to him. His clothes were shabby and his hair was messy. He fled all the way, and it was already very difficult to reach the Luoyun Mountains safely.

He met this young man in brocade clothes by chance after entering the mountains. The two of them had met once before and almost fought each other. It was none other than Mu Pingbo, the noble son of Four Seasons Villa.

"Forget it, let's not talk about your master. Your fiancée was kidnapped by the Immortal Family. Maybe you and her will be able to meet again this time, but! It's not certain whether she is your fiancée or not, hehe."

"What's the meaning?"

"Think about it! We have put so much effort into this token, but she was directly selected by the Immortal Master and brought to the Immortal Mountain. She must be extremely talented. Brother Tang, I am not throwing cold water on you. There will be a gap in your status in the future. It will get bigger and bigger. I have seen this kind of thing a lot. We can share hardships but cannot share blessings." Mu Pingbo sounded like someone who has experienced it.

Tangning took a bite of snake meat grilled on the fire and didn't answer.

"Why did you go into the mountains alone without anyone accompanying you?" Tangning asked after a while.

Mu Pingbo looked at him in surprise: "Don't you know?"

"what do you know?"

"It seems you really don't know." Mu Pingbo said: "There are countless poisonous insects, rats, and ants in the Luoyun Mountains, many of which can kill people. Moreover, the mountains are surrounded by miasma all year round. Ordinary people will be paralyzed if they inhale even a little bit. I can’t move. Do you think these fogs are really mist? "

Tangning paused as she stuffed meat into her mouth: "Why are we okay?"

"Because wearing this house plate can not only prevent miasma from entering the body, but also prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants from being bitten."

"There is another benefit." Tang Ning touched the wooden sign in her arms and said, "It is indeed a treasure of the Immortal Family. How long does it take for us to go to Qianyi Zong's mountain gate? Do you know the way?"

Mu Pingbo looked at him in disbelief: "Don't you even know this? How did you get here?"

"What's wrong? I have a map that marks the location of the Luoyun Mountains. I followed the location marked on the map."

"Take out the door number."

Tang Ning took out the wooden sign from her arms and realized that the wooden sign was different from before. The word "干" on the original wooden sign actually gave off a glimmer of light.

"This house plate can not only block miasma and avoid snakes and insects, but it is also the guiding light of Qian Yizong. No one knows the specific location of Qian Yizong. Even if they find it, it will be useless. I heard that the entire sect has been surrounded by a powerful formation. Enveloped, the mortal body is at the door, unable to see or enter.”

"We just need to follow the lighted instructions on this house plate. The closer we get to Qian Yizong, the more the characters "gan" on the house plate will light up, and vice versa. Until every stroke of the word "gan" lights up. We'll know when we get there, and we just need to wait patiently, and someone will naturally pick us up on July 15th."

It turns out that you have to wait until July 15th to enter the immortal sect. This may be one of the reasons why the master was not in a hurry to hand over the wooden sign to his child! Tangning thought to herself

"After entering the Immortal Sect, will I be able to fly into the sky and escape to the earth like them?"

"What you think is too simple. If a martial arts sect wants to become its official disciple, it needs to be selected at many levels. What's more, entering the immortal sect is just the beginning. Do you know why everyone in the world knows that there is an immortal sect, but it is so difficult to How many people have actually seen an immortal flying into the sky and escaping to the earth?”

Mu Pingbo looked mature and prudent, but he was actually a child at heart. Seeing that Tang Ning didn't understand anything, he couldn't help but show off his knowledge and revealed all the little inside information he knew.

"Why?" Tangning was really curious.

"I heard that once you enter the Immortal Sect, you have to cut off all contact with the secular world. You can only practice Taoism in the Sect for the rest of your life. You can only go down the mountain unless you have a special mission, such as destroying demons, slaying evil and eliminating evil!"

"Is that so? Isn't it okay to meet your parents and relatives?"

"Of course not. Do you know that there is a separation between immortals and mortals? When you enter the immortal sect, you have to cut off the connection with the secular world."

One of them knew nothing, and the other pretended to understand. They chatted until late at night with their longing for the Immortal Sect and their fantasies about the future.
