Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning said: "Senior Brother Du is right. This ant egg is not a valuable thing. It is fine even if it is given to Senior Brother Lu. However, I signed a secret contract with him when I obtained this ant egg, and it cannot be changed."

Du Yuankai was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "I don't know anything about the way of spiritual beasts. I didn't know there was such a relationship. In that case, I won't go into details."

"If this method doesn't work, Senior Brother Lu may be even more angry with me. I hope Senior Brother Du can say a few nice words."

"I think he should be able to understand that I have promised Junior Brother Tang before about the spiritual stone subsidy, so I will naturally not break my promise. But whether Senior Brother Lu will listen to my suggestion is beyond my control."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Du. Farewell." Tang Ning stood up and said, left his cave, reported to the Mountain Protection Department and left the sect.

……………

At night, Du Yuankai sat opposite him in Lu Xingxian Cave Mansion: "I told him about this matter, and he was not very happy. He said that he had signed a contract with the ant eggs. I don't know whether it was true or not. It looked like he would not hand over the ant eggs. from."

Lu Xingxian snorted coldly: "He used the information from the Intelligence Department to find the treasure that those Demon Sect monks were looking for. He obtained the ant eggs at the bottom of Changliu Lake thinking that no one would know about it. After getting the benefits, he wanted to monopolize them. What in the world? Such a good thing.”

"I dare to say that it is impossible for him to get only one ant egg. I asked Junior Brother Qiu that the Rhinoceros Ant is a gregarious species and will not lay only one ant egg."

"They have been lurking at the bottom of Changliu Lake for many years. Why did they suddenly come out and cause trouble recently? Now the ant nest at the bottom of Changliu Lake is empty. It must be because he took away the ant eggs left in the ant nest. I can't say why. Hundreds of rhinoceros ants came out of the lake just to find him."

Du Yuankai pondered: "But he insisted that he picked it up accidentally. We can't force him if he doesn't hand it over."

"It depends on his choice. If he still wants the spiritual stones subsidized by the sect, then he must hand over the ant eggs honestly. I don't want much. If he can't even part with this, then he doesn't want anything. Let’s talk about it. If he comes to see you in the future, you can explain my attitude to him.”

Du Yuankai nodded.

…………

When Tangning returned to the Qianjun Mountain Intelligence Station, everyone stood up and saluted.

"Go and invite fellow Taoist Xu to come over."

"Yes." A disciple responded

Not long after, Xu Qingwan pushed the door open and walked in.

"This is the 150,000 spirit stone funds issued by the sect. It is all under your control. You have to think carefully about how to survive five years." Tang Ning handed her the storage bag.

Xu Qingwan was slightly stunned. Du Yuankai had previously handed over the spirit stones to her in batches, each time worth 30,000. Now that he suddenly took over such a large amount of spirit stones at once, she was quite caught off guard.

But what surprised her even more was what Tang Ning said. What did it mean? If you rely on these 150,000 spiritual stones alone to survive for five years, what about the subsidy?

She pondered for a while: "I might not be able to survive for five years just relying on these spiritual stones."

"There's nothing you can do about it, you just have to figure it out! Anyway, all the financial rights are handed over to you. Let me tell you the truth! From now on, our intelligence station should no longer expect any spiritual stone subsidies."

"Why? Could it be that the Shangzong changed the rules and stopped granting subsidies?"

"It has nothing to do with the sect. There are some people who don't deal well with me, but they will harm you. You can take your share of the spirit stone subsidy from here! How much you take is your business, but the prerequisite is to ensure the operation of the intelligence station. ”

Xu Qingwan frowned slightly: "But, every time Du Xianshi applied for subsidies before, it went smoothly. If not..."

Tang Ning waved her hand and said, "He is him and I am me. You don't quite understand what is going on in the sect. Anyway, make a plan first. If they go too far, I will give up."

"Hmph, don't think that I, Mr. Tang, are easy to bully. You can let them pinch you. Who doesn't know how to pick a pick? Whoever wants to take care of this mess can do it!"

Seeing his appearance, Xu Qingwan seemed to have suffered a lot from this trip to Qian Yizong, so she stopped talking and silently left the room.

……………

Three hundred miles east of Tianlan County, there is a small town.

The town was sparsely populated. A little girl of seven or eight years old, wearing shabby and patched clothes, was kneeling on the side of the road with unkempt hair and lowered eyes. Next to her was an old woman, blind, kneeling beside her.

There was a corpse placed in front of them, wrapped in a straw mat, with several lines of delicate handwriting written on the ground.

It turns out that the corpse is the old woman's son, and the little girl next to it is her granddaughter.

The family lived in Taoliu Village, twenty miles away. A few months ago, a thief passed by. He was attracted by the beauty of the old woman's eldest granddaughter, and took her away by force.

The old woman, her son and her granddaughter made many inquiries and found out about the thief's whereabouts. However, no one paid attention to the report to the government, so the three of them went to his mansion to seek justice. Before entering the house, the old woman's son was beaten to death by servants.

The old woman and her granddaughter were devastated. They had no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth. The sky was not responding to them and the earth was not working.

He had no choice but to drag his son's body all the way home.

Since her grandson was kidnapped and her son died, the old woman has been crying day and night, blinding her eyes from crying.

The little girl can read and write, and under the planning of her hometown neighbors, she came to the small town and wanted to sell herself for revenge.

As long as I can avenge my father, I am willing to be a slave for the rest of my life. This is what the last sentence of the article says.

A lot of people gathered in front of the two people, and they were talking a lot. Some shook their heads and sighed, while others expressed pity and comfort.

"Aunt Pan, please listen to my advice and bury Brother Pan first. In this weather, the body will stink in just a few days. It is better for people to be buried in peace after death. As for revenge, we will talk about it later. You guys Kneeling like this and exposing Pan Geer's body to the street is not an option. We will pay for the burial," an acquaintance said.

The old woman shook her head and sobbed: "Most of my old woman's body bones are buried in the loess. I didn't expect the white-haired person to send the black-haired person. If anyone can avenge my son, he will bear the ring-knot grass in the next life to repay the great kindness."

"Even if you don't think about yourself, the child is still so young, so you have to think about the future." Another person said.

"If I can avenge my father, I will be a slave." The girl's voice was cold.

Everyone tried to comfort them, but the mother and grandson remained unmoved, and the onlookers left one by one.

At night, with the moon hanging high in the sky, the streets were cold and deserted.

The old woman and girl were still kneeling on the side of the road. A rickety old man with a bright head came from the east and walked up to them. The girl raised her eyes and looked at him.

"I think it's useless for you to kneel here for three days. Those thieves are not simple. Most people can't afford to offend them." The old man said.

"Brother, do you know who harmed my son?" the old woman asked quickly.

"Is his mansion in the west of Tianlan County with the word "Jin Mansion" written on it?"

"That's right, we heard from someone in the teahouse that my sister was kidnapped by them. My father and I went to find them. Those people were unreasonable and beat my father to death. If I can avenge my father, I will never do anything in my life. I am willing to serve you in this life for the rest of my life," the little girl said.

The old man smiled: "I don't want you to serve me, and I don't have the ability to avenge you. Anyone who has the ability will not avenge you."

When the old woman heard this, she burst into tears, but the little girl remained silent.

"If you are willing to be my disciple, I can show you a clear path, and you may be able to get this revenge." The old man said

"As long as I can avenge my father, I will obey your orders."

The old man said: "The Jin family is a powerful local. Not to mention snatching a girl or killing an old man. Even if they slaughter your town, no one will say anything, let alone seek justice from them. With this Competent people will not struggle with them over trivial matters.”

"You are lucky today to meet an old man. I am destined to show you a clear path."

"There is a high mountain in Yuyuan County, named Longtou Mountain. It is not far from here, only five hundred miles away. There is a person in the mountain who specializes in meddling in others' affairs and fighting injustices. This person is the only one in the world who will help you take revenge. Go find him and make it clear. For this matter, he will definitely come out.

"Who is that person? Can Uncle take me to beg him?" the girl asked

"He is a friend of mine. If I take you there, I will make him dissatisfied and miss your job. You have to travel across mountains and rivers to get to him. I will wait for you at Longtoushan." After the old man finished speaking, he disappeared.

The girl saw him disappearing like a ghost, dumbfounded and at a loss.

……………

In the deep mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, a ray of light fell straight down, and in front of a cave, the figure of an old man with a bright head appeared.

He waved his hand and handed a talisman into the cave.

Not long after, a figure flashed out from inside and landed in front of the old man. The figure of a man appeared, but his sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes were extraordinary and handsome.

"Brother Qin, we are rare visitors. You are far away in Qi State. Why are you here? Please come in." The man enthusiastically took the old man's arm and walked inside.

"I have nothing to do. I am traveling around. I passed by this place and I knew your brother was here, so I came to have a look." The old man said and followed him into the cave.

This cave is very simple, with only one room and one room.

There is only a stone table and a stone bed in the main room, and nothing else is there.

The two sat opposite each other. The old man took out a jar of wine from his storage bag, and then took out two cups: "I know your brother likes this thing, so I brought it here for you to taste. How do you like it?"

The man picked up the wine glass and took a sip, but his mouth was full of fragrance. When the wine entered his stomach, he felt a burning sensation in his body, which caused the spiritual power in the Linghai Point to surge. He couldn't help but praise: "It's really good wine."

"You and I haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Today is the time to get drunk." The old man picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

"Brother Qin, how did you know I was in this mountain?"

"It's a coincidence. I met fellow Taoist Diao a few days ago. He told me that you were here, so he came to look for you. I also encountered an interesting thing on the way."

"Oh? What an interesting story."

"I have fallen in love with a young girl with good talent, and I want to make her my disciple and pass on my mantle."

"Brother Qin has always been at home all over the world. He is alone and free and easy. How can he think of accepting disciples and passing on the mantle?"
