Chronicles of Celestial Origins
Chapter 340 Helmsman (11)
The Xuanzhu Mountains are located in the southeast of the Wu Kingdom. The mountains that stretch for hundreds of miles have no other vegetation, only lush green and tall bamboos, which can be described as a wonder.
The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. There are countless venomous snakes in the mountains, green in color, entangled in the green bamboos and integrated with them. They are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye and extremely poisonous. Once touched by its fangs, you will die instantly, so ordinary people dare not approach it.
Qingyang Sect is located in this mountain range.
On this day, the sky was clear, and a ray of light passed through the air and landed at the bottom of the mountain. It revealed the figure of a man with a tall and tall body and big ears.
He waved his hand, and a talisman disappeared into the cyan light curtain.
Not long after, the light curtain opened a gap, and the man entered the Qingyang Sect with a flash of light. He came to a cave and handed the transmission talisman inside.
In the cave, a woman was sitting cross-legged and practicing. The storage bag around her waist shook. She took out the formation plate a little, took the talisman into her hand, entered her mind, and heard a sentence in her mind.
The woman got up and came to the main room. She bowed to the old man sitting cross-legged on the futon and said, "Master, Senior Brother Zhou Yuan, the deacon of the secret security department, wants to see you."
"Go and welcome him in!" the old man said calmly.
"Yes." The woman took the order and left, turning into a ray of light and coming to the door of the cave: "Senior Brother Zhou, master, please come in."
Zhou Yuan followed him into the cave and bowed to the old man: "Disciple pays homage to Master Zhao."
"How is the investigation going?"
"We are already inseparable. We have enough information and have sufficient reasons to suspect that he is the driving force behind all this. I have secretly monitored and investigated him and detained him if necessary."
"Are you sure? You know that many people in the sect, including the headmaster, have high hopes for him."
Zhou Yuandao: "There are many clues pointing to him. We found that he went out frequently during that period, often for several days at a time, and the time is highly consistent."
"We have also verified his other identity, and we can basically confirm that the false identity of "Ximen Guke" is him."
"He used this identity to buy a lot of materials in Duanjishanfang City. We got the specific transaction list through insiders. Some of the materials are very strange and are suspected to be related to the experimental subjects. The other part are formations and formations that condense Yin Qi. "Spiritual weapon."
"In one of the experimental sites we found, we extracted a very shallow footprint on the mountain wall. From this footprint, we can infer the height and weight of the person, which is consistent with him. And this footprint is consistent with the size of his left foot. of."
"In another experimental site, we found traces of a fierce fight, and according to the news from the Blood Bone Sect's internal line, two late-stage foundation-building monks in the sect went out during that time, but in the end one died and the other was injured. We suspect That fight was caused by the two late-stage foundation-building monks from the Demon Sect and him."
"We contacted the insider of the Blood and Bone Sect and asked him to contact the injured late-stage Demon Sect monk to inquire. We learned that they were indeed fighting a masked man at that venue."
"They broke in by mistake. They thought there was some secret treasure buried in the basement."
"The insider inquired about the techniques used by the masked man when he fought with them. One of the powerful techniques was the forbidden technique he secretly studied in his early years. For this, the sect also punished him."
The old man nodded slightly: "You have enough clues!"
Zhou Yuan said: "After all, the matter is serious, and he is a highly regarded disciple of the sect and is deeply loved by several uncles. If I don't have these clues, I won't dare to take any rash action against him."
"Then let's do it! Keep an eye on him first, don't alert the snake, it's best to have conclusive evidence and the stolen goods are obtained before taking action. Follow me to report this to the boss later, he has been waiting for your investigation conclusion. "
"yes."
"On the Shuiyun Sect, the headmaster rejected their request. I don't think they will give up easily. They should send a few disciples to investigate secretly. You should keep an eye on their movements. This matter is about the face of our sect. Don't let them interfere. If everyone knows about it, what will outsiders think of our sect?"
"Disciple understands."
……………………
In the southern part of the Wu Kingdom, several rays of light passed by and fell into a deep mountain. Several human figures appeared, none other than Tang Ning and his party.
They traveled several days to get here from Qi State, and the first stop was of course the secret basement they learned about from Wang Xuan.
During the interrogation that day, the specific location was known from his mouth, which was one hundred and fifty miles east of Kunyu County in the southern part of Wu State.
"It should be around here! Let's go and investigate separately." Tang Ning said, before she finished speaking, she saw a monk not far away wielding a flying sword, heading towards a few people.
Not long after, the man had arrived in front of several people, and he was wearing Qingyang Sect clothes.
"Seniors and juniors are disciples of Qingyang Sect. There are important items left by our sect here. The entire mountain forest is not open to the public for the time being. Seniors, please forgive me."
There is no doubt that this is an expulsion order. He, a Qi Refining disciple, dares to speak to several foundation-building monks like this. Naturally, he relies on the strength of the sect behind him.
Several people had long known that the secret basement was blocked by Qingyang Sect, so they were not surprised.
Yin Qingyuan turned his left hand and took out the sect token and handed it to him: "We are disciples of the Qianyi Sect. We were ordered by the sect to investigate for clues about the source of the undead essence. We captured a host in Qi State more than ten days ago. I got the news and clues, so I came here.”
The disciple took the token, checked his identity, and looked embarrassed: "Senior Yin, we have received instructions that no one is allowed to come near this place."
Before he finished speaking, Yin Qingyuan interrupted: "We won't embarrass you. You go find the person who gave you this order. We will wait here."
"Okay! Seniors, please wait a moment." The man said, about to leave with his sword.
"etc."
"Senior, do you have any other instructions?"
"Take us to the basement first."
The man hesitated and nodded: "Okay, please come with me."
Several people followed him, but they could not walk more than a few miles to the top of the mountain on the other side.
There are two Qingyang Sect disciples guarding the basement. The entrance mechanism has been destroyed, and the bluestone steps extend all the way to the bottomless underground depths.
"These are the seniors of the Qianyi Sect. I'm going to report to Uncle He." The man who led the way said to the two Qingyang Sect disciples and flew away with his sword.
Tang Ning and the others sat cross-legged on the spot, closed their eyes and practiced, recovering their spiritual energy consumed by traveling in the past few days.
Of course, a few Qi Refining disciples guarding the entrance couldn't stop them, but in view of the relationship between the two sects, they couldn't act recklessly, otherwise it would be difficult to explain when they returned. It was best to go through formal channels. If it doesn't work, it's not too late to control them.
About half a day later, a ray of light came from the south and stopped in front of a few people, revealing the figure of a man with a fair complexion.
"Uncle He, Uncle He." Two Qingyang Sect disciples bowed and saluted immediately when they saw him.
The man surnamed He glanced at Tang Ning and others and said proactively: "I am He Jin, a disciple of the Qingyang Sect. Do you know the names of some of my fellow Taoists?"
"We are disciples of the Qianyi Sect. I'm Yin Qingyun. These are the junior disciples of our sect, Tang Ning, Jiang Yuhuan, and Guan Sheng." Yin Qingyuan introduced them one by one: "This time we are here to investigate clues about the source of the undead spirit. We hope you will It’s convenient for Zongxing to let me go into the basement and take a look.”
"It's easy to say. We are blocking this place to prevent unidentified cultivators from wandering in. Since you are Taoist friends of Qianyi Sect, please invite me! I will lead you down." He Jin was very kind and led a few people there. Walk into the basement.
Deep bluestone steps connect to the ground. The sound of footsteps echoes in the wide passage. Collapsed stone walls and bluestones can be seen everywhere. But the road was open and clear. It was obvious that the Qingyang Sect had done some cleaning.
After going down about a hundred stone steps, we came to a collapsed and broken stone wall, which contained a large basement.
Even after so long, you can still feel the residual Yin Qi and a faint pungent fishy smell.
"Fellow Daoist He, may I ask you a few questions?" Yin Qingyuan asked as he walked.
"Fellow Taoist Yin, please tell me."
"When did you discover this basement?"
He Jin said: "About half a year ago! Don't look at the huge damage here, but there are no traces from the outside. The entrance to the basement was forcibly destroyed after we found no mechanism after we found it."
Yin Qingyuan said: "The clues we got are that there was a big battle here, and at least three monks participated. Apart from the owner who opened this basement, who are the other two people? Does your sect know?"
He Jin said: "As far as we know, they are Demon Sect monks. They also broke into this place by mistake and did not go deep into the ground. As soon as they entered here, they were noticed by the man, and a fierce battle broke out. This was completely revealed from the basement. It can be clearly seen that their battle ended in the bluestone steps passage. The basement and the bluestone steps were originally separated by a stone wall, which was also forcibly destroyed by us. "
"Can your lord find any clues here?"
He Jin smiled slightly: "No comment."
"How did you find this place?"
"After the demon sect monk returned to his sect, he told the monks who were close to him that at first they thought there was some treasure hidden underneath. Later, another demon sect monk came to investigate, and when he returned, he told the specific situation inside After he said it, the news gradually spread, and our insiders got the information and informed us, so we sent people to investigate and found this basement. "
Yin Qingyuan nodded and said: "I see, when did Guizong discover the source of the immortal essence?"
"About six or seven years!"
"Have you been investigating this ever since?"
"Well, this guy is very cunning, so he hasn't been found so far."
Yin Qingyuan said: "Why did Guizong reject Shuiyun Sect's request for cooperation?"
"Heh." He Jin smiled and said, "This is the decision of the sect's senior officials. I don't know anything about it."
