Chronicles of Celestial Origins

In the basement, the pungent fishy smell became stronger and stronger. Under the Yin Qi, a slight cool breeze occasionally blew for no reason.

There are several places on the ground that are dark purple. It is unknown what kind of liquid soaked the earth and dyed it. In addition, there are green or blue stones on the stone walls. When you get closer, you can smell a faint odor of unknown items.

Other than that, the entire basement was empty.

"Is this what the basement looked like when Guizong discovered it?" Yin Qingyuan asked

"There are also some other items that we have cleaned up."

Jiang Yuhuan asked, "Can some of these rocks and ground soil be taken away?"

"Please."

Jiang Yuhuan stepped forward and wrapped the green or blue stones and dark purple soil in cloth. These can be taken back to the sect for peeling off and the liquid materials contained in them can be restored.

A few people stayed in the basement for about half an hour, searching carefully and asking He Jin some indirect questions about the source of the immortal spirit.

He Jin's attitude was quite good, and he was not impatient at all. He kept answering with a smile, but when it came to clues about the source of the undead spirit, he said he had no comment.

Finally, several people left the basement and headed southwest.

………………

Three hundred miles west of Kyoto in the Kingdom of Wu, there is a mountain forest filled with peach blossoms, hence the name Peach Blossom Valley. There is a city in the middle of it.

In Fangshi, a bearded man was walking out of the Qingyang Sect's shop and heading towards the Fangshi management office. Suddenly he saw someone blocking the way and looking at him with a smile.

The man was startled when he saw it, his expression changed slightly, and he blurted out: "Senior Brother Zhou, why are you here?"

The person blocking the road was none other than Zhou Yuan, the deacon of the secret security department of his sect.

In Xuanmen, the Secret Security Bureau is a law enforcement agency that specializes in investigating the disciples within the sect. It is not a good thing to be targeted by them. Therefore, the man's expression changed slightly, and he was thinking that he had not committed anything major enough to be arrested by the Secret Security Bureau. .

Zhou Yuan could only be heard saying: "Junior Brother Yan, please excuse me to speak."

Yan Yuanfan looked suspicious, said hello, and followed him to a retreat room in Baoxing Inn.

"Senior Brother Zhou, what is going on? You don't plan to interrogate me here! Even if you suspect that I have committed something, you have to go back to the sect."

"Junior Brother Yan, don't get me wrong. I know that you left the Spirit Mine and came to Taohuagufang City. I came here specifically to see you. I hope you can do us a favor."

Yan Yuanfan frowned slightly: "Can I help you?"

Zhou Yuan nodded slightly: "Monitor the director of the Xuanyue Mountain Spirit Mine for us and report his every move to us."

"What?" Yan Yuanfan asked in shock: "Isn't it true? Do you suspect that he is a secret agent of the Demon Sect? Impossible!"

"The whole story of this matter cannot be disclosed to you for the time being."

Yan Yuanfan was silent for a while: "Did you get authorization from above? If I secretly monitor him for you, would it be a violation of the sect's laws? The following is a serious crime!"

"Without permission from above, I will not come to you. This is the master's order." Zhou Yuan turned his left hand and handed him a piece of paper.

Yan Yuanfan was even more shocked after reading it. Even the headmaster knew about it and even gave the order himself. He was well aware of this person's status within the sect, and was loved by high-level monks. He was always being cultivated as a future member of the Guangda Sect.

I didn't expect that the trouble would come to this point. Could it be that it was really a trick of the Demon Sect? It shouldn't be! Why should a monk with his status collude with the Demon Sect, unless he himself comes from the Demon Sect, was trained since he was a child, and was sent to the Qingyang Sect.

"How is it?" Zhou Yuan said.

"Since it's the master's order, I don't dare to disobey it. Everything depends on the order. What do you want me to do?"

"There is a large formation inside the spirit mine. It is inconvenient for us to enter. To avoid alerting others, we can only monitor it outside. The situation inside depends on you. What does he do every day? Who has he met? We all need to know."

"Okay, I'll try my best."

"Be careful and don't let him discover it. Only you and I know about this matter. If the news leaks out, the consequences may be serious."

"I know."

"Then I'll trouble you, Junior Brother Yan. You should return to the spiritual mine immediately and monitor him."

Yan Yuanfan didn't say much, stood up and left the room.

………………

On the top of the mist-shrouded mountain, a few rays of light fell, revealing the figures of Tang Ning and others. This was their temporary place to stay.

Guan Sheng asked: "Senior Brother Yin, what's the next step? Qingyang Sect refuses to cooperate, and we have cut off the information channel."

Yin Qingyuan said: "For the current plan, we can only look for clues ourselves. I want us to split up. I will follow and monitor He Jin. Since he is the member responsible for investigating this matter, he will definitely know if there are any clues. Follow him and follow the clues. Maybe Can get important information about Qingyang Sect."

"Junior brother Jiang, take the stones and soil you got from the basement back to the sect and conduct a peeling test to see what kind of liquid material it is. Then look for clues through these materials."

"Junior Brother Guan, you are responsible for finding out how many late-stage foundation-building monks there are in the Wu Kingdom, and then identifying suspicious candidates."

"Junior brother Tang, you are responsible for investigating the clues about the host of the corpse insect. Judging from the posture of Qingyang Sect, they should have a lot of information about the person behind the scenes. In other words, the person behind the scenes should be the monks from the Wu Kingdom. Since the original land is in There must be many hosts possessed by corpse bugs in Wu State. If we can find one or two, we can get new clues. "

"Junior brothers, what do you think?"

Naturally, the few people had no objections and all nodded in agreement.

Yin Qingyuan continued, "Everyone agrees, so let's take action! Without the Black Eagle to communicate, we have to think of a way to contact each other, so as not to get clues and not be able to find people."

Tang Ning said, "Let's use secret codes! Leave a few secret codes at each place. If you find clues, change to other secret codes. If there is no important matter and you really can't get away, come back here every ten days to gather."

"Okay. Just do what Junior Brother Tang said."

Then several people discussed the contact code and each turned into a light and left.

Tang Ning traveled for a day and came to Danyang, the capital of Wu, which is located in the southwest of Wu.

If you want to find clues about corpse worms, the most convenient and fastest way is to start from the Qingyang Sect's intelligence system. He will not be stupid enough to run around like a headless fly by himself.

Wu is not big, but not small, with a radius of seven or eight thousand miles.

It is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find a few hidden corpse worm hosts in a radius of seven or eight thousand miles by one person.

It is much easier to find information through the intelligence station.

Therefore, his first step was to find the local intelligence station, then lurk in and use their intelligence network to find clues.

It is very easy to find the specific location of the intelligence station. The existence of the intelligence station is almost an open secret.

The local big families and wealthy families all know about it, and some of their children are even members of the intelligence station.

This is unavoidable. The disciples sent by the sect alone are not enough to maintain the operation of an intelligence station. It is necessary to recruit monks from outside to expand the manpower. The children of the local wealthy families are the best choice.

First, their identities are relatively reliable. At least they have a family and a business, and they can be found when something goes wrong.

Second, many things in the intelligence station itself require the support of local powerful families.

And the cultivation family can also obtain the information they want to know through the intelligence station. Both parties can use each other and achieve a win-win situation.

……………………

Wanjiao Pavilion is located at the top of the Tiger Mountain, 230 miles west of the capital of Danyang. The owner behind it is the Zheng family, one of the local powerful families.

Zheng Tiancheng held a beautiful and plump woman in his arms, and raised his glasses with the people below, laughing and talking about the wind.

After a long time, everyone dispersed. Zheng Tiancheng hugged the woman in his arms and came to the wing room. After a happy time, he put on his clothes and left the attic. He flew south on the flying sword.

While flying, a light came from behind. When Zheng Tiancheng noticed it, he looked back and saw that the light was in front of him. The man was wearing a hat and a black robe.

Without saying a word, the man grabbed his shoulder with one hand.

Zheng Tiancheng only felt the huge spiritual power around him like a tide, squeezing his body. He was shocked and his face changed.

He wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't even make a sound. His bones creaked and he felt a huge pain.

He had no power to resist. He was wrapped in the spiritual power and moved forward. He only heard the sound of the wind. After a while, his eyes closed and his consciousness fell into coma.

After an unknown period of time, Zheng Tiancheng woke up in a daze, but saw that the light was weak, and he could hardly see his hand in front of his face. The ground was very wet.

Then he remembered that he was kidnapped by a foundation-building cultivator. He got up suddenly and found that his spiritual power could not be mobilized and his consciousness was also in a closed state.

His heart sank and his face was ashen in an instant. He was under a spiritual power restriction. The desire to survive made him forget calm thinking. He fumbled around the wall in panic and walked forward step by step.

"Don't be busy, just sit down!" A voice came from his ear, a man's voice.

Hearing this, knowing that the man was not far away, Zheng Tiancheng couldn't help shaking his body for a moment, and asked tremblingly: "Who is the senior? Where is this?"

"You don't need to know who I am. I ask you a question, you just answer truthfully. Otherwise, you know the consequences. I remind you, be honest, I also know your situation roughly. If there is a false statement, I will not ask more questions, understand?" The man's voice came from the dark.

"Yes, I understand. I will tell you everything I know. Please ask me."

"Tell me about yourself first. What's your name? Where do you work?"

"My name is Zheng Tiancheng. I am the 14th generation descendant of the Zheng family. I work at the Qingyang Sect Intelligence Station." Zheng Tiancheng did not dare to hide anything and answered truthfully.
