Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning was slightly startled and quickly took the file. After taking a look at it, she realized that it was Lu Xingxian who took the initiative to abdicate and resigned from the position of deacon of the Intelligence Section, and the sect had approved it.

It seems that Lu Xingxian's end is approaching and he can no longer hold on.

The sect's communication with him is not a person's wish. It is a necessary procedure of the department. He is the manager of the Intelligence Department. If the deacon abdicates, he is eligible to apply for the election for the position of deacon. Of course, he must be informed.

Tang Ning pondered for a while and said, "I will go back to the sect and leave the affairs here to you."

"Yes." Kong Ji responded. He was very curious about the arrangements made by the top management of the ministry and who would be the deacon. However, after being in the intelligence station for so long, he knew very well that he should not ask questions.

Tangning left the intelligence station and fled all the way. In less than two days, she returned to the sect. When she came to a cave, she waved her hand and handed the talisman through the thick fog.

Not long after, the thick fog rolled, and a ray of light shot out from inside, revealing Zhu Xu's figure. He smiled and said: "Junior brother Tang is back, please come quickly."

Zhu Xu has always been taciturn, unsmiling, and expressive of joy and anger. Today, he is smiling. I guess after Lu Xingxian abdicated, he was in a very happy mood and naturally became more expressive. I think he should be inseparable from the position of Deacon of the Information Section.

The two of them entered the cave one after the other and sat opposite each other.

Tang Ning said: "Senior Brother Zhu, I came here as soon as I received the news from the sect Xuan Ying. Congratulations! The long-cherished wish of many years has finally come to fruition. The position of Deacon of the Intelligence Department has finally fallen into your hands."

Zhu Xu waved his hand: "It's too early to say this. There are many people coveting this position! Junior Brother Lu rushed back from Qiyuan Island two days ago. I don't think he will let go easily."

"Oh?" Tangning frowned slightly: "Has he broken through to the late stage of foundation building?"

"Not really, but he has been quite active these days and has visited many people."

Tang Ning said: "Since we have not broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, there is nothing to worry about. Even if there are people who support it, I think the masters above are all very clear-sighted and will not choose him as a mid-stage Foundation Establishment monk." deacon."

Zhu Xu smiled slightly: "Uncle Luo summoned me two days ago."

The meaning of this is obvious, he has received the support of Luo Qingshui.

Tang Ning said: "With Master Luo as the mediator, it can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai."

Zhu Xu was noncommittal: "In a few days, the sect will discuss the matter and we will know the result."

Tang Ning said: "By the way, why did Senior Brother Lu suddenly resign as deacon? Is it because his life span has expired?"

"It will only take a few months at most! The spiritual power in his body can no longer be suppressed."

Tangning sighed slightly and remained speechless.

Although he and Lu Xingxian were not enemies, they had been getting along for decades. In fact, there was no deep hatred between the two. At most, there was friction caused by some differences of opinion.

At this moment, his life was about to end, and the past had naturally drifted away with the wind. Tang Ning couldn't help but feel a little sad that the rabbit had died.

The two people in the cave fell into silence for a moment.

After a while, Zhu Xu said: "We are the only two people in the Intelligence Department who can talk to each other. I would like to ask Junior Brother Tang for your support in many things in the future."

"Senior Brother Zhu is too polite. If you have anything to do, just ask."

The two chatted for a while before Tangning said goodbye and left.

………………

In the Lu Xingxian Cave Mansion, Lu Guang sat opposite him, looking at the old man in front of him who was old and wrinkled, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"How is it?" Lu Xingxian coughed slightly, his voice old.

Lu Guang shook his head: "Senior Brother Ma Boyan took me to visit Uncle Cheng and Uncle Jiang, but they did not express their stance."

Ma Boyan was the first disciple of Shi Mingsui, the master of Qingxuan Hall. He took Lu Guang to visit the senior officials of various halls and courtyards, and the person behind him was naturally Shi Mingsui.

Cheng Shuimin of the Foreign Ministry favored Shi Mingsui among the senior officials of the Qian Yizong, while Jiang Ming was relatively neutral. The two of them did not make a clear statement, but they had already fully stated their attitudes, that is, they did not support Lu Guang's appointment as the deacon of the Information Section.

Tong Quan'an of the Secret Academy has a close relationship with Luo Qingshui, the master of the Xuande Hall, and Peng Wanli, the master of the Yuanyi Hall, has always maintained a middle ground between the two.

This time Ma Boyan led him to visit Cheng Shuimin, Jiang Ming and Peng Wanli in order to gain their support. Although Cheng Shuimin and Jiang Ming did not express their opinions, they also received him, but Peng Wanli directly refused to meet him, his attitude was obvious.

These are all tacit things. Although it has not yet reached the sect's discussion period, the results are already foreseeable.

The appointment of the deacons of the sect's departments must be decided by the sect's top leaders, that is, the votes of the three hall masters, the three courtyard masters and the seven heads.

In the event of abstention or a tie vote, the leader has the final say.

Lu Xingxuan's face was expressionless and he said calmly: "It's expected, but you don't have to be too depressed. You still have a lot of time. It's hard to predict the blessings and misfortunes of the world."

Lu Guang felt ashamed and said, "I have failed to live up to Senior Brother Lu's high expectations."

"For a dying person, fame and wealth are just a fleeting thing. I have done everything I can, and I can be considered as doing my best to repay Uncle Shi's kindness back then." Lu Xingxian smiled lightly, not caring, and turned his right hand , took out a dossier and said, "By the way, here's this for you. You might be able to use it one day."

Lu Guang took it and opened it, his expression changed slightly: "This is it?"

Lu Xingxian said: "I have not played this card for so many years, just because the time is not there, good steel needs to be used on the steel blade, you take it! I have a hunch that one day it will be used."

"Who else knows about this?"

"Only you, me, and Junior Brother Du know."

Lu Guang pondered for a while: "What if there is never a suitable time?"

"Forget it then. There is no need to do things that harm others but are not beneficial to oneself."

"Understood."

………………

Tang Ning returned to the cave, sat cross-legged and practiced with her eyes closed, waiting for the sect's meeting to decide on the selection of deacons for the Intelligence Department.

A few days passed by in a flash. Around noon that day, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground. The storage bag around his waist suddenly shook. He took out the formation disk and pointed it upward, took the transmission note into his hand, and injected his spiritual consciousness into it. A word came to my mind.

He stood up and escaped from the cave with a flash of light.

Outside the thick fog, a man with a broad forehead and broad face was standing waiting. Seeing his arrival, he bowed and saluted: "Uncle Tang, Master Tong invites all the uncles in this department to gather in the meeting hall."

There is no doubt that it must be a matter of the deacon's choice. Tangning turned into a ray of light and came to the Zhongzhi Peak meeting hall. When she entered the hall, she saw an old man with white beard and hair sitting on top of the chair. He was from the Secret Academy. Tong Quan'an, the director of the hospital.

There are three people standing upright behind him, Zhu Xu is on the left rear, Lu Xingxian is directly behind him, and the man on the right rear is tall and tall, with a tiger body and a wolf waist, but he doesn't know who it is.

Below, several managers from the Intelligence Department have already taken their seats. Among the four people on the left, the first man with tall cheekbones and fair complexion is the new inspector Liu Miao. The two have never met since he took office.

The second bright-headed old man is Chen Xuan. Looking at his face, he seems to have aged a lot over the years, and he also seems to have a short lifespan.

The third person is a woman with a high nose and a few light spots.

This person is a newly promoted disciple of Foundation Establishment, named Xu Cuiyao, who was originally the captain of the eighth team under the Intelligence Department.

The fourth person is an old man with white beard and hair. He is Zhang Yan who came back from Qiyuan Island to take up a post.

There are also three people sitting on the right hand side. The first is Lu Guang, the second is Du Yuankai, and the third man is fat, round and fat. He smiles like a Maitreya Buddha. He is about fifty years old. Cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building.

Tang Ning had never met this person before, but she had a rough idea of ​​who he was.

An intelligence station under the Intelligence Department, Tang Ning is in charge of infiltration and covert operations in Chu State.

There is another person who is in charge of intelligence work in Qi and Wu besides Chu. There is no doubt that this person is the person in charge of the intelligence agencies of Qi and Wu.

"Disciple Tang Ning has met Master Tong." Tang Ning stepped forward and saluted.

Tong Quan'an nodded slightly: "Sit down!"

"Yes." Tangning took the third seat on the right.

"Everyone from the Intelligence Department is here!"

Lu Xingxian said: "Yes, all the disciples in charge of the Intelligence Department are here."

"Yes." Tong Quan'an nodded and said: "Xiao Qian, please announce the appointment of the sect!"

"Yes." The man surnamed Xiao took out a note and read out: "According to the sect's decision, from now on, Lu Xingxian will be removed from the post of deacon of the Intelligence Section and Zhu Xu will be appointed as the deacon of the Intelligence Section."

Tong Quan'an stood up and said: "Zhu Xu, from now on, you are the deacon of the Intelligence Department, and you have full authority to handle the affairs of the Intelligence Department."

"Yes, disciple, I obey." Zhu Xu responded.

"Let's go!" Tong Quanan led Lu Xingxian and the man named Xiao out of the hall.

Everyone stood up to see each other off.

After the three figures walked away, Zhu Xu walked to the main seat and sat down, waving his hand: "Junior brothers, please take a seat!"

Everyone took their seats one by one.

Zhu Xu said: "We are all old acquaintances, so I won't say more polite words. I am the deacon for the first time, and everything in the department is as before. Junior Brother Lu still goes to Qiyuan Island to take up his post, and Junior Brother Chen continues to be in charge of the internal affairs of the department. Junior Brother Du is in charge of the specific affairs of each action team, and Junior Sister Xu is in charge of intelligence liaison. As for the intelligence gathering work, Junior Brother Zhang is also in charge."

Thank you very much for the red envelope recommendation from book friends.

But it's really not necessary.

It hurts to see hundreds of oceans spent like this.

There was a flood at home, so I asked for leave, and there was a power outage in the village. There was no update today.

Fortunately, I have some manuscripts saved, and I was planning to take a few days off. But since everyone is so supportive, it’s time to come again in the evening, so let’s continue updating!
