Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Three days passed by in a flash. Tang Ning was practicing with her eyes closed indoors when a knock on the door came from outside.

He opened his eyes, stood up and turned around on the bulge on the wall. The stone door opened and a man stood outside: "Senior Tang, the auction will start in two hours. Do you want to go there now?"

"Let's go!"

The man led him out of the hall and came to the chasm on the mountain peak. This chasm was extremely unique, as if someone had split it open with a sharp blade. The chasm was bottomless and it looked shrouded in clouds and mist from above.

The man picked up his magic weapon and jumped down. Tangning followed him, passing through the clouds and mist, but saw that the ground below was getting wider and wider, and a cyan light curtain enveloped the ground.

The two fell to the ground. The man waved his hand, and a talisman passed through the cyan light curtain.

Soon, a gap appeared in the light curtain, and the man said: "Senior, inside is the auction hall. I have other matters, so I won't accompany my senior inside."

Tangning's body flashed and she entered the light curtain. In front of her was a large hall covering an area of ​​100 feet. In front of the hall, there was a man and a woman guarding the hall, both of whom had established their foundations.

Pushing open the heavy stone door, there is an empty hall dozens of feet in size, decorated with splendid gold and jade green, and the whole hall is shining with golden light.

At this moment, only two or three people were seated below the main hall. Hearing the sound, someone turned around and glanced. Tangning found an inconspicuous corner to sit down. He turned his head and glanced at the few people, but there was no one he was looking for.

After less than a stick of incense, the stone door opened again, and another person entered. As time passed, more and more people entered the hall, some wearing masks, and some wearing bamboo hats to cover their figures. .

Tangning didn't plan to buy anything, he just came here to try his luck and find someone, so he wasn't afraid of being noticed, so he didn't change into a hat and a black robe.

A few hours passed quickly, and when the bidding session began, the stone door behind the hall opened, and two men walked out, one was tall and the other was as skinny as a stick, both of them were in the later stages of foundation building.

When the two of them reached the top, the burly man said: "Thank you all fellow Taoists for coming to participate in this auction. This auction is jointly organized by our families in Runan. It is mainly to facilitate the transactions of all the fellow Taoists. During the bidding, During this period, please consciously maintain order, do not argue, and bid for the exhibits to the highest bidder.”

"As for the two of us, I think many Taoist friends already know each other, but there may be friends who come from afar who don't know me. My name is Yu Huailin, and this is Zhang Tianci."

"Without further ado, here comes our first bidding item."

As soon as he finished speaking, a graceful woman behind the stone door came to the stage holding a jade plate.

The man pulled the red cloth of the jade plate, revealing a room of sparkling golden stones: "This is a piece of gold that weighs one pound and six taels. You fellow Taoists are all knowledgeable people. I don't need to say more about the value of this thing." ! The starting price is 40,000 spirit stones, and each increase is 5,000 spirit stones. Fellow Taoists, please bid."

The so-called gold essence is the essence of gold. This nugget of gold essence stands out among thousands of golds. It has spirituality and can absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth on its own. If it is given tens of millions of years, it may be able to develop cometality and enter the path of spiritual practice. road.

But currently it is just a piece of gold essence with spiritual power. This kind of spiritual object is a rare treasure for those who refine weapons. Gold essence is even added to many magic weapons. If such a piece of gold essence is added to the spiritual weapon, The power can be increased to a higher level.

There was silence, and it took a long time before someone raised the number plate.

This object was finally purchased by a woman for fifty-five thousand spirit stones. After the transaction was completed, a second collection was quickly pushed to the booth above, which was a set of formations.

The burly man began to introduce again.

Tang Ning's mind was not on the auction items. He cast his eyes sideways and secretly looked at the unidentified people wearing masks to cover their figures.

There were about thirty monks in the entire hall participating in the auction, and most of them were uncovered. Only some of them wore masks and hats.

This auction is organized privately by each family, and the participants are monks who are quite famous here, so there is no need to hide their identities. Those wearing masks and hats must not be local monks, or they have other hidden goals. these people.

Wei An might be among this group of people. According to the portrait information provided by Shuiyun Sect, Wei An was a thin, middle-aged man about six feet tall. Tangning quickly targeted the two of them.

The rest of them are either tall or strong, and they do not fit Wei An's image. The most important thing is their cultivation.

Wei An is a late-stage monk in foundation building. Only four of the more than thirty people in the entire hall are late-stage monks, so it is easy to determine.

One of the four people was obviously different in height, and one was not wearing a mask or hat at all.

So only these two people fit the bill.

One of the two people is wearing a black robe to cover his figure, but it can still be seen that his figure is not strong. Because the black robe is loose, if he is a strong person, the black robe will stick to his body. Height is quite standard.

The other person only wore a mask. Judging from his thin body, his body shape was somewhat similar to Wei An.

Tang Ning quietly observed the behavior of these two people in the corner.

Unknowingly, the auction had been going on for about an hour, and the two men were still sitting in their seats without making a single move.

"The ultimate spiritual weapon, the Cloud-Slaying Knife, the bidding price is 70,000 spirit stones. The price will be increased by 5,000 each time. Fellow Taoists, please bid." Not long after the man above said this, someone raised his number plate.

"Fellow Taoist No. 12 bids 70,000 yuan. Are there any other Taoist friends who want to bid?"

The late-stage foundation-building monk wearing a mask took action. He raised his number and bid with it.

The price was finally settled at 90,000 yuan, and the masked man did not continue to increase the price.

The auction continued, and towards the end, a bidding object was taken out from the display stand. The man tore off the green cloth, revealing a faint blue orb.

"This Yin Soul Bead is made from a collection of extremely Yin Qi. It contains extremely pure Yin Qi, which is of great benefit to monks who practice this kind of skill. The starting price is thirty thousand spirit stones, and the price increases by five thousand each time. , please bid.”

After the man finished speaking, His Highness was silent. After a long time, someone slowly raised the number plate.

"Fellow Taoist No. 21 bids 30,000 yuan. Does anyone else want to bid?"

No one made any further bids, and eventually the Yin Po Bead was bought by him, who was none other than the late-stage foundation-building monk wearing a black robe.

Tang Ning's face remained calm, but she had already locked onto this person in her heart. The cultivation of corpse insects requires a lot of yin energy.

This person not only built up his late-stage cultivation, but also bought treasures such as the Yin Po Bead. He fit the criteria of being the person behind the scenes. Regardless of whether this person was the Wei An he was looking for, this person was a serious suspect.

The bidding session went on for a while, and all the items were auctioned. When it came to the free trading session, everyone went up to display their items one after another, but the man in black robe did not make any move.

Finally, the auction ended, and everyone left the hall one after another, turning into light and leaving.

Tang Ning followed the man, keeping a vaguely visible distance, and flew away for about an hour or two, when he saw the man disappearing into the forest.

He waited high in the sky for a while, but didn't see it emerge again, so he expected it to be hiding in the mountains.

Then the light flew straight down and fell to the ground, only to see a ray of light coming towards me, as fast as thunder and lightning.

Tang Ning was shocked. She flipped her hand and the golden bowl rose up in the wind, facing the green light that shot towards her.

There was a loud "bang" sound, the golden bowl shook violently, and the light suddenly dimmed.

Tang Ning retreated abruptly and looked around, only to see a man wearing a bamboo hat and black robe appear on the opposite side.

The two of them were thirty or forty feet apart. The man moved his hand, and the green light reflected back to his hand, which turned out to be a small green sword.

"Who are you? Why have you been following me? What is your purpose?" the man said in a hoarse voice.

Thoughts raced in Tang Ning's mind. The other party found out that she was following him, lured him here, and ambushed him. However, he stopped immediately after failing to succeed, indicating that he did not intend to fight to the death.

Is this person the mastermind behind the zombies? If he is, he will fight to the death to kill people and silence him if he tells the truth.

But if this person is not the person he is looking for, how can he rationally explain the current incident to calm his anger? Tangning does not want to fight to the death with a late-stage Foundation Establishment monk for no reason.

The current situation is very unfavorable for him. After all, the opponent's cultivation level is there, and there is no one to support him. If he really takes action, even if there is help from the little white snake, he may not be able to defeat the opponent.

For a moment, he thought of several explanations in his mind, and finally said: "I am Tang Ning, a disciple of the Shuiyun Sect's Intelligence Department. I killed my disciples without knowing it. Why bother asking?"

He moved out of the Shuiyun Sect just to make the other party a little afraid. The other party was a casual cultivator and he certainly didn't know much about the disciples within the Shuiyun Sect. He put an unfounded charge on him and messed up his position first to see how he did. answer.

"Shuiyun Sect and I have no grievances in the past, and have no enmity in recent times. We have never had anything to do with each other. Have we ever killed any of your disciples? You must not lie."

"On the sixth day of September, two junior brothers from our sect's Inspection Department were following the disciples of the Demon Sect in Takeda County. One of them was brutally killed, and the other returned to the sect injured. He said personally that the murderer was a late-stage foundation-building monk and a ghost. "Xiu. The fact that you bought the Yin Soul Pearl at the auction today is clearly for practicing the ghost way. How could such a coincidence happen? If it wasn't you, who would be making sophistry?" Tang Ning continued to question.

"What a joke, is it true that ghost cultivators are the only ones in the world who need the Yin Soul Pearl? If it was really me, do I still need to talk to you about this? I have always been a loner and don't want to cause trouble. I don't care about today's matter. You guys Check it out next time. If you follow me again, don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword." After that, the man turned into light and left.
