Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Yueluo Pavilion is located in Zuowang Mountain. It is one of the properties of Zhang family, a wealthy family in Beiyuan. People come and go in front of the pavilion.

Around Mo Yinshi, the sky turned slightly white, and a man with oily hair and fair complexion walked out. The steward in the attic sent him to the door. The two said a few words, and the man waved his hand and flew away with his sword.

After walking for about half an hour, I saw a ray of light coming from behind.

The man turned around, and the escaping light was in front of him. He was about to ask a question when the man in black robe behind him stretched out his hand, and in an instant, powerful spiritual power as huge as the sea squeezed towards him. The man's vision went dark, and he immediately lost consciousness.

The man in black robe grabbed his shoulder, flashed, and left in the form of light.

……………………

Yuyue Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, and there is a place shrouded in clouds and mist, which is the Zhang family's mansion. At night, a ray of light shoots out and falls in front of the majestic and majestic palace. A man with white beard and hair appears. The figure of an old man comes.

The man on duty at the palace hurried forward to greet him, and the chief inspector saluted: "Senior Zhu, what are your orders for coming to my house?"

"Please let Taoist friend Zhang Yuanchang know that Zhu is here to visit," Zhu Tao said.

"Senior, please wait a moment." The man responded, turned around and entered the hall. After a while, he returned to him and said, "Master, please come in, senior."

The two of them entered the hall. A man with a fair complexion and gray hair on his temples, who looked like a Confucian scholar, was sitting cross-legged on a futon. When he saw him approaching, he stood up to greet him and said with a smile on his face: "Friend Zhu, you are such a rare visitor! What kind of wind brought you here?" ”

"I have an important matter that I would like to discuss with fellow Taoist Taoists." Zhu Tao glanced at the man next to him.

Zhang Yuanchang waved his hand: "Step back first."

"Yes." The man responded.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, what is it that requires you to come to the door in person and make it so mysterious?"

"This matter is related to your life and death, so I have to be cautious." Zhu Tao turned his left hand and took out a three-foot-long white jade sword: "This thing must be familiar to fellow Taoists!"

When Zhang Yuanchang saw this thing, the smile on his face gradually solidified. He looked at Zhu Tao and said slowly: "What does Zhu Daoyou mean by this?"

"Your young master was involved in an important matter and was arrested by a senior brother of our sect. He asked me to send a message and hoped to meet with fellow Taoists. I wonder if I can reward him?"

Zhang Yuanchang's face was as cold as ice, and there was a faint murderous look in his eyes. He stared at Zhu Tao motionless: "What on earth are you going to do?"

"We have no ill intentions, we just want to ask fellow Taoist to do a small favor. I can swear to my inner demon that as long as fellow Taoist cooperates, we will not take any measures against your young master, and naturally we will not do anything to the Zhang family. But if fellow Taoist If you don’t give me any face, I can’t guarantee what will happen.”

"What do you want from me?"

"Fellow Taoist, please come with me!" Zhu Tao turned around and walked out of the hall, turning into light and leaving.

Zhang Yuanchang hesitated for a moment, then followed him and rose into the sky.

The two of them walked for two or three hours and came to a remote mountain forest. Zhu Tao escaped from the light and landed in front of a bamboo house.

"Your Excellency is in the inner room. Fellow Daoist Zhang, please come!" Zhu Tao made an inviting gesture and said.

Zhang Yuanchang had no expression on his face as he slowly walked towards the bamboo house and pushed open the door. He saw a handsome man inside sitting in front of the stone table, facing the door, obviously waiting for him.

Behind him, a man with oily hair, pink face, and fair complexion was tied to the bamboo bed with a hemp rope. It was his beloved son Zhang Wenxuan.

"Father, save me." Zhang Wenxuan looked overjoyed when he saw Zhang Yuanchang walking in, and shouted loudly.

Zhang Yuanchang felt slightly relieved when he saw that his beloved son was fine. He walked up to the man and said in a deep voice, "Don't you know the taboo of your friend's name?"

"Tang Ning, I have a poor reputation. I believe fellow Taoist friends have never heard of it. I have no choice but to invite fellow Taoist Zhang to come in this way. I hope fellow Taoist Haihan will take care of me. We have something to ask fellow Taoist for help." Tang Ning said slightly. Said with a smile.

"It turns out to be Fellow Taoist Tang. I have heard of Fellow Daoist for a long time. In the name of Fellow Daoist, it would be disrespectful to deal with a junior like this!"

"Otherwise, how can we invite fellow Taoist Zhang here?"

"Fellow Taoist Tang is putting so much effort into this, please tell me what you need me to do!"

"We know that the Zhang family and the Cao family have always been on good terms, and many of the children of the two families are married. Isn't your son married to Cao Ruixian, Cao Ruixian's niece? I heard that fellow Taoist and Cao Ruixian have quite a personal relationship. We want fellow Taoist to invite Cao Ruixian here. In your mansion, it’s that simple.”

Zhang Yuanchang looked solemn: "You want to deal with Cao Ruixian?"

Tang Ning nodded and said, "Yes, to be honest, we have received news that Cao Ruixian has frequently met with the Demon Sect's disciples recently, and he has the intention of changing his banner and joining the Demon Sect. Our sect does not want to make the matter too big, and we also pity those of the Cao family. The innocent and uninformed disciple decided to kill only the culprit, in order to save nearly a hundred monks from the Cao family. "

"If Cao Ruixian doesn't die, our sect will go on a killing spree and use the power of thunder. By then, everyone will be destroyed. Not only will the Cao family be exterminated, but those children who are married to nobles will also be killed to avoid future troubles forever."

Zhang Yuanchang was slightly shocked when he heard this. He never thought that the whole thing was caused by the Cao family, and he was just a victim of the disaster: "What if I don't agree! Will fellow Taoists throw me away?" Processed?"

Tang Ning shook her head slightly: "Our Xuanmen is not a demon that kills innocent people indiscriminately. Cao Ruixian defected to the Demon Sect, and the Cao family deserves to be punished. The sect is kind-hearted and lenient, so it came up with this method. Save those innocent and unaware Cao family children.”

"What's more, Taoist friend has nothing to do with the Cao family, so how can it involve you? Even if Taoist friend doesn't agree, it doesn't matter. You can leave this gate at any time. But your son! There are two arguments. He married Cao Ruixian's relative. My niece is the uncle of the Cao family. I am afraid this relationship cannot be cleared up in a few words. "

"If Cao Ruixian doesn't die, the Cao family will be punished by the clan, including those married women, and Cao Hanyan is certainly no exception. As Cao Hanyan's husband, I'm afraid your young master will not be able to escape his involvement."

Zhang Yuanchang sneered: "If you want to accuse someone, why bother?"

Tangning ignored it and asked calmly: "I wonder what your friend's decision is?"

Zhang Yuanchang's eyes flashed and he was silent for a long time: "If I invite Cao Ruixian here and you kill him, then I will become the culprit who killed Cao Ruixian. Not to mention how the Zhang family will gain a foothold in Beiyuan in the future. Just talk about the revenge of the Cao family. We I can’t stand it.”

"Fellow Taoist, don't worry about this. Naturally, we won't kill people in your fellow Taoist's house to make it difficult for you. As long as you cooperate and lead him out, you don't need to worry about other things. You will only push and delay afterwards." That's good, there are only six ears here, so I won't tell anyone, and I guess my Taoist friends and noble master won't tell either, so who knows."

Zhang Yuanchang said silently: "Let me think about it."

"Of course. I guarantee with my personal honor that your young master will not be harmed at all by me. After the matter is completed, your young master can return to your mansion. But I also ask fellow Taoist to think about it quickly. We don't have much time. , the Cao family may rebel at any time."

Zhang Yuanchang glanced at Zhang Wenxuan who was tied to the wooden bed, got up and left the room.

He was only in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, so it was impossible for him to take Zhang Wenxuan away from Tang Ning, a late stage Foundation Establishment monk.

"Father, save me, save me!" Zhang Wenxuan shouted loudly when he saw him turning around and leaving.

Outside the room, Zhu Tao smiled at him: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, how did the conversation go?"

Zhang Yuanchang snorted coldly, turned into light and left without saying a word.

Zhu Tao returned to the house and asked, "Senior Brother Tang, what did he say?"

"He didn't make a clear stance and said he would consider one or two things."

Zhu Tao frowned slightly: "After he returns, he won't tell Cao Ruixian about this!"

Tang Ning said: "Zhang Yuanchang has a son from old age and has always doted on his precious son. How could he be willing to sacrifice his son's life in exchange for Cao Ruixian's safety?"

"Besides, if the Cao family wants to defect to the Demon Sect, it will affect the Zhang family to some extent. Cao Ruixian's death can not only weaken the influence of the Cao family, but also avoid being implicated, and can also save his son's life. It can be said that one stone kills multiple people. If it were replaced It’s you, what would you choose?”

Zhu Tao nodded slightly: "Cao Ruixian is a late-stage foundation-building monk and should not be underestimated. Do you need to apply for support from the sect?"

Tang Ning shook her head and said, "What I'm most worried about is that Cao Rui is on guard and won't leave his nest easily."

……………………

Zhang Yuanchang returned to the main hall of the Yuyue Mountain Mansion and walked back and forth with his hands behind his back. After a long time, he shouted: "Here comes someone."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man came in from outside and saluted: "Master, what are your orders?"

"Go and invite Han Yan."

"Yes." The man took the order and left. Not long after, a beautiful, dignified, and graceful woman walked in from outside the palace and saluted: "Father, what are your instructions for calling me?"

Zhang Yuanchang smiled and said: "Han Yan! Please go and tell your uncle that I have got clues about what you mentioned last time and ask him to come over and tell you about it immediately."

"yes.".

"Wait, don't let others know about this."

"Father, don't worry, Hanyan understands." The woman turned and left the hall.

Zhang Yuanchang looked at her retreating back, sighed slightly, and disappeared in a flash of light.

………………

In front of the main hall of the Cao Family Mansion, a woman landed with a flying sword. A man faced her and said, "Sister Hanyan, you are back."

Cao Hanyan nodded and asked, "Is uncle in the inner room?"

The man said: "It's inside! Do you want me to tell you?"

"No, I'll go by myself!" Cao Hanyan entered the hall and saluted Cao Ruixian, who was sitting cross-legged: "Uncle."

Cao Ruixian opened his eyes: "Why are you back?"

"My father-in-law called me here. He said that he already has clues about what you mentioned last time. Please come to the house immediately to discuss it."

"Oh?" Cao Ruixian's expression changed, and he felt a little happy. Before he could think too much, he said, "Let's go!"

The two of them left the main hall, and Cao Ruixian's spiritual power wrapped her up and flew away into the air.
