Chronicles of Celestial Origins

In the Yuanming Inn, Shi Xuan and Zhou Xuanyong were sitting cross-legged and practicing with their eyes closed. Heavy footsteps sounded outside and the door creaked open.

The two of them opened their eyes and were startled when they saw the person coming. Then their expressions changed slightly: "Fellow Daoist Peng, what's wrong with you?"

I saw that Peng Wanli was extremely pale, with traces of blood on his clothes, his hair was slightly loose, he was panting slightly, and he looked very embarrassed.

Peng Wanli shook his head: "It's a disaster. We settled in a mountain forest, but we didn't expect several warships to pass by and attack each other. I led my disciples to escape, but the warships were in the same direction as our escape. I was affected by their attacks. Got some injuries."

When Shi Xuan and Zhou Xuanyong heard this, their expressions changed, as did Peng Wanli. You can imagine the situation of the remaining disciples.

The people brought out this time were all elite disciples of the sect. The original intention was to let them see the world and understand the situation on the Qinghai Islands.

Who would have thought that first they would be plundered by a skeleton ship, and then they would be hit by a warship's artillery fire? It would be a disaster that never comes singly.

If these disciples suffered heavy casualties, it would be difficult for them to return to the sect.

The two people quickly asked: "How are the other disciples?"

Peng Wanli shook his head: "At that time, there were more than ten warships and chariots. Everything they passed was annihilated and they were rushing towards our direction. In the rush, I didn't pay that much attention and flew all the way. Escape, everyone else is behind me."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was only a roaring sound. The three of them looked at each other with horror. This is the headquarters of the Yuanming Chamber of Commerce. Could it be that those warships came over without any scruples?

The three people hurriedly left the room and saw a bustling crowd of people standing outside Yuanming Inn and on the entire Chamber of Commerce Street. They all looked shocked and stared out of the light curtain in shock.

At this moment, the entire castle was enveloped by a huge blue light curtain. Outside the light curtain, more than ten warships were chasing each other, the sun was shining brightly, and cannonballs were flying.

The huge light curtain was affected by it, like water ripples, and the runes flowing on the light curtain bloomed with light.

Inside the castle, the escaping light flickered, and a large number of chamber of commerce personnel were running back and forth with solemn expressions.

The city wall was lined with Guanjia Chamber of Commerce personnel, and on the streets, chariots soared from the arsenal, carrying hundreds of feet-sized magnetic cannons towards the city wall.

These chariots are obviously not as good as the warships chasing outside. They are much smaller in size. The warships traveling outside are all thousands of meters long.

The chariot in the Chamber of Commerce is only three to four hundred feet in size.

There was a buzz of whispers and shouts in the castle.

Several rays of light passed by and landed on the east city wall, revealing the figures of several men and women. The leader was a man with a Chinese character face, a tall figure and bright eyes.

Everyone on the city wall bowed and saluted.

"What's going on?" the man asked, looking at the huge warship outside.

"It's the warships of the Yuhua Chamber of Commerce and the Kuiyuan Sect. They got into a fight for some reason." The old man with white hair and beard replied.

A beautiful woman behind the man frowned and said, "Why are the Yuhua Chamber of Commerce and Kuiyuan Sect here?"

The man said: "Go ahead, no one can rush back without my order."

"Yes." A person next to him responded. With a flash of light, he headed towards the left and right sides of the city wall and delivered the orders one by one.

"The Yuhua Chamber of Commerce and the Kuiyuan Sect are far away in the interior of Qingzhou. How did they come here?"

"Looking at this posture, with both hands raised, there will definitely be a lot of casualties. I wonder how the merchant alliance will handle this matter? I'm afraid it won't end well?"

"Why are they fighting? The Yuhua Chamber of Commerce and the Kuiyuan Sect are not in the same sphere. There should be no serious conflict of interest."

"I don't think it's as simple as a conflict of interest. It's just the entanglement of interests that wouldn't lead to such a big fight. There must be other deep-seated reasons."

Everyone behind the man on the city wall was talking.

The light curtain was slightly distorted, and the rune's light was greatly reduced, but fortunately it was not hit by direct artillery fire, so it was able to withstand it. The warships and chariots in the high altitude gradually moved away, heading west, until they disappeared.

………………………

The wave faded and everything returned to calm. Under the river, a figure drifted with the waves. The broken bones of his body recovered bit by bit. The sunken chest and the blurred flesh and blood fell off piece by piece. The bone meridians were reconnecting and the flesh and blood were slowly growing. .

………………

It was getting late and the moon was rising in the east. Inside the Yuanming Inn, Zhou Xuanyong pushed open the door and saw the questioning eyes of Shi Xuan and Peng Wanli. He shook his head slightly and said, "I searched again and couldn't find their whereabouts." , think about it already..."

After speaking, the three of them sighed and remained silent.

After the warships outside the Chamber of Commerce's formation sailed away, the disciples returned to the inn one after another, with only five of them not returning.

The three of them went out to search, but in the end they only found three bloody corpses. The whereabouts of two others were unknown, namely Qian Yizong Tang Ning and Shui Yun Zong Su Yanluo.

It had been a full day and the two of them had not returned yet. It was obvious that an accident had occurred. As for the body not being found, this was normal. Under the influence of the power of this level of spiritual weapon, anyone who came even slightly closer would be crushed into powder.

The three of them knew it well, but they didn't reveal it. They still looked for it again with a sense of luck, but found nothing.

……………………

Tang Ning slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was a clear blue sky with floating white clouds.

He felt weak all over and dizzy. He didn't even have the strength to move his fingers. There was the sound of water rushing around him.

As the water waves drifted, my body became extremely tired and sleepy, and I slowly closed my eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes again and found himself in a dark room.

Surrounded by crumbling walls, he was lying on a wooden bed, with a burning stove under the bed.

There were footsteps outside the house, the door opened, and the sunlight came in, which made him feel very dazzling.

A wrinkled and kind-hearted old lady came in carrying a bowl of dark potion. Seeing him open his eyes, she said happily: "Brother, you're awake."

It seemed that she had pulled herself out of the current. Tangning still remembered what happened before. She was drifting in the raging river, but now she was in a house. Apparently, someone had rescued her.

"Old man, where is this?" Tangning asked, her voice was extremely hoarse.

The old lady said: "This is my home. When I was washing clothes by the river, I saw you floating in the water, so I called my old man and fished you out of the river. Seeing that you were unconscious, I placed you here. . "You are finally awake."

Tangning nodded and said, "Thank you very much. How many days have I been in coma?"

"It's been more than ten days. If you weren't still alive, we would have thought you were dead. Let's not talk about this for now. Just drink this medicine! My old man went up the mountain to collect it. He said you soaked it in the water. He has been suffering from dampness and cold for too long," the old lady said, handing him the medicine in her hand.

Tangning couldn't refuse the two old men's wishes and drank the soup in one gulp. He was still very weak and his limbs were weak. However, this was not due to his body, but due to the depletion of spiritual energy in his body.

After he finished drinking the decoction, he was about to ask a question when a gray-haired old man walked in from outside and said happily: "I heard someone talking inside. I guess my brother finally woke up. How is your health? Are you okay?"

Tang Ning said: "Thank you two old people for helping me. I won't thank you enough for your kindness. I hope you can repay me in the future."

The old man said: "Brother, you don't have to be polite. We just happened to meet each other, and I have great blessings. If others had been wandering in the water for so long, they would have died long ago."

Tang Ning said: "I don't know where this is or when is it now?"

The old lady replied: "We are in Nanyue Kingdom, and today is the eighth day of October."

On the eighth day of October, he had been in a coma for two months. Tangning thought to himself, as for the Nanyue Kingdom, he did not go into details. It must be a secular kingdom on Tianfu Island. If he could rush back to the Yuanming Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible, Peng Wanli and the others may not have left yet.

As soon as he thought of this, he wanted to start immediately. Just as he was about to get up, he found that his body was out of control and he couldn't get up.

Seeing him struggling to get up, the two old men quickly held him down: "Brother has just woken up, it's better to rest for a while. If there is anything urgent, it's not at this time. The body is the most important thing. If the root of the disease is left, it will be fine." Oh no."

Tang Ning was pushed lightly by the two men and was unable to move. She couldn't help laughing at herself and asked, "Do you two old people know where the Yuan Ming Chamber of Commerce is?"

"What's going on?" the old lady asked in confusion.

Tang Ning smiled. She was really confused. These two old people were obviously ordinary people. How could they know the location of the Yuanming Chamber of Commerce? So she said, "It's nothing. I said something wrong."

The old man said: "If I have anything to worry about, I can help you find out."

"Thank you both for your kindness. I'm a little tired and want to take a rest."

"Okay! Brother, have a good rest and we won't disturb you. If you are thirsty or hungry, just call out." The old man said, and the two of them left the room.

Tangning lay down for a while and felt her strength gradually returning, so she stood up and sat cross-legged, and began to breathe in and out, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Invisible and intangible spiritual energy from all around surged towards his body. After about an hour or two, the spiritual power in his body recovered a little. Except for his face being slightly pale, his whole person was full of energy.

He untied the spirit beast bag around his waist and took a look with his spiritual consciousness. Inside, he saw that the little white snake had curled up into a ball. It was covered in bruises and flesh and blood, but fortunately it was still breathing. The little white snake seemed to have entered a kind of state. In a state of deep sleep, it is unknown whether he lost consciousness and passed out or was seriously injured and actively slept.

When Tangning saw this, she was both happy and distressed.

He had already expected that something happened to the little white snake. Otherwise, if he had been wandering for more than two months, the little white snake would have come out of the spirit animal bag to protect him. How could it be picked up by the old couple? It must have been affected as well.

At this moment, seeing his scars and bloody appearance, I felt indescribably uncomfortable.

The little white snake has been raised by him since he was a child. In his heart, he not only regards it as a spiritual beast, but also his most loyal friend and partner in fighting side by side. However, this time he suffered this unreasonable disaster with him.

Tang Ning felt distressed and guilty. Fortunately, the little white snake's rough skin and thick flesh saved her life. Now she could only wait for it to recover slowly. She didn't know how serious its injuries were and how long it would take to recover.
