Chronicles of Celestial Origins

A few days passed by in a flash. At noon that day, Tang Ning was meditating with her eyes closed to restore her spiritual power, when the storage bag at her waist suddenly shook.

He took out the formation disk and took the talisman in the thick fog into his hand, and a man's voice came from his mind.

Tang Ning stood up and left the cave. Outside the thick fog, a man's figure stood. He turned out a piece of paper in his hand: "Senior Brother Tang, I am Cheng Huiyuan, the transferred department of Qingxuan Palace, and I have been ordered to come to announce the decree. From today on, I order you to Go to work in the Xuande Palace Supervisory Department."

Tang Ning took a look at the article and saw it said: Although Tang Ning, a disciple of the Intelligence Department, broke the rules of the sect, he knew his mistakes and was able to correct them. He is now released after serving his sentence and is transferred to the Supervision Department for other important positions without delay.

"Senior Brother Tang, the order says there will be no delay, let's go now!"

"good."

The two of them jumped out of the light, and after a short walk, they arrived in front of a cave in Xuanyuan Peak. Cheng Huiyuan waved his hand and handed the talisman into the room.

Not long after, the thick fog rolled in, and a ray of light shot out, revealing the figure of a tall man with bright eyes. It was Ma Ningyuan, the deacon of the Inspectorate Department of Xuande Hall.

Cheng Huiyuan took out the document and handed it to him: "Senior Brother Ma, this is Senior Brother Tangning from the Intelligence Department. From now on, he will be transferred to your Supervision Department."

Ma Ningyuan took the document, took a look at it, and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Tang's coming to our Supervision Department really makes this department even more powerful. On behalf of the Supervision Department, I welcome Junior Brother Tang."

"Senior Brother Ma, Senior Brother Tang, I will go back and recover first." After saying this, Cheng Huiyuan turned into light and left.

"Junior brother Tang, let's go! I'll introduce you to some of the senior brothers in this department."

Tang Ning nodded slightly, and the two of them arrived in front of a majestic hall.

Several disciples on duty in front of the hall rushed forward to greet him and salute.

Ma Ningyuan said: "Go and invite some junior brothers from our headquarters to discuss matters."

"Yes." Several disciples picked up their magic weapons and left.

The two entered the hall. Ma Ningyuan walked to the main seat and sat down, while Tang Ning took her seat at the bottom.

"Junior Brother Tang, to be honest, I already knew you would be transferred in the next few days. Senior Uncle Luo already discussed this matter with me the day before yesterday."

Tang Ning said: "I hope that Senior Brother Ma will take care of me in the future."

"Junior Brother Tang is too humble. Who in the sect doesn't know that you are Uncle Luo's most valued disciple. We are all our own people, so you don't have to be so polite. Maybe you will have to ask Junior Brother Tang to take care of you in the future!"

"I wonder how many brothers there are in this department?"

"There are six stewards stationed at the headquarters. You will see them later."

As soon as Ma Ningyuan finished speaking, a tall and thin man came in from outside. When he saw Tang Ning sitting down, he frowned slightly, then relaxed his eyebrows and nodded slightly to him.

Tang Ning also returned the greeting, and then several more people walked into the hall one after another, a total of five men and one woman.

Everyone took their seats one by one, and Ma Ningyuan said: "Junior brothers are invited here today to announce something, in accordance with the order of Qingxuan Palace. From now on, junior brother Tang Ning will be officially transferred from the Intelligence Department to our Supervision Department."

"Junior Brother Tang, let me introduce to you, this is Junior Brother Wang Jun, this Junior Brother Xu Wenze, this Junior Brother Duan Xuan. This Junior Sister Su Jin, this Junior Brother Wu Zifeng, this Junior Brother Zheng Juntang."

Everyone nodded to him, and Tangning responded one by one.

Among the three halls, five departments, three courtyards and six departments of Xuanmen, the Supervisory Department is the most special.

Because most ministries and departments have supervisory positions, they are responsible for supervising the affairs of the department. However, departmental supervisors can only be sent by the supervisory subordinates and are not subject to the dispatch of Qingxuan Palace, and there is no promotion of the head of the department.

Therefore, the position of ministry inspector is very special. On the one hand, they belong to the management of various ministries and departments, and are subject to the command and dispatch of various palaces and courtyards. On the other hand, they are sent by the supervisory subordinates and receive orders from the Ministry of Supervision.

There are five departments and six departments in each palace of the entire sect, a total of thirty-three departments and departments, not counting the departments directly under the three academies and the direct subordinates to the head.

Among these thirty-three departments, excluding departments such as the Herbology Department and the Internal Affairs Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with smaller staffs, there are at least twenty departments that require the dispatch of inspectors.

These ministry inspectors also hold the positions of managers of various ministries and departments. They hold high positions and are the direct people who check and balance the deacons of various ministries and departments. Naturally, their cultivation level cannot be too low.

Generally speaking, you need to be at least in the middle stage of foundation building before you can be transferred to a department inspector.

The Supervisory Department only has a hundred disciples, and where are the 20 or 30 foundation-building monks? Therefore, there will be people like Tang Ning who are transferred from the Ministry to the Supervisory Department in name, and then appointed as Ministry Supervisors by the Supervisory subordinates. In fact, they are just leaving. A process, a change of identity.

But then again, this identity is not so easy to change.

Take him as an example, he was transferred from the Intelligence Section to the Supervision Department, and then sent to the Intelligence Section as an Inspector.

The relationships between Qingxuan Hall, Jiemi Hall, and Xuande Hall must all be connected, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to change this identity. Without the support of the upper echelons of the hall, it is basically impossible to complete this identity change.

Since there are only ten supervisors in the palace departments, the inspectors assigned to various departments from the supervisory department no longer serve as supervisors in the supervisory department, but belong to the supervisors of the departments where they are located.

"In addition to Junior Brother Tang Ning joining the headquarters today, I also have another matter to discuss with you all. The Intelligence Department currently lacks an inspector. Junior Brother Tang has been in the Intelligence Department for many years and is familiar with the affairs of the Intelligence Department. I would like Junior Brother Tang to be the Inspector of the Intelligence Department. I don't know. What do you think, junior fellow apprentices?" Ma Ningyuan asked.

Everyone couldn't help but glance at him, knowing that Tang Ning was here to go through a process and fully aware of this matter, they all nodded in agreement.

"That being the case, Junior Brother Tang, I will leave you to take up the post of inspector in the Intelligence Department. You can take up the post today!"

"Yes." Tangning nodded.

"Junior brothers, if you have nothing else to do, this discussion ends here."

………………………………

At Zhongzhi Peak, Lu Guang returned to the cave. Zhou Yingxue saw that his expression was different and asked, "What's wrong? Why did Uncle Tong call you?"

Lu Guang said: "It's nothing, the new inspector of the Intelligence Section has taken up his post."

"who is it?"

"Tang Ning."

"Ah? Why is it him? Has he been released from prison?" Zhou Yingxue asked in surprise.

"I was released from prison a few days ago. I was transferred from the Intelligence Section to the Supervision Department, and then sent to the Intelligence Section as an inspector." Lu Guang sighed slightly: "This is specifically for me!"

"Does Uncle Shi know?"

"How could you not know? He is in charge of Qingxuan Palace. Without his nod, how could Tangning be transferred to the Supervision Department?"

Zhou Yingxue frowned and said, "Why did he agree to Tang Ning being the inspector of the intelligence department?"

"You have forgotten that Qingxuan Hall now has Yin Qingyuan in addition to Master Shi, who is also in charge of the transfer of disciples. As far as I know, Master Tong proposed this matter to the headmaster, and Yin Qingyuan approved the transfer only after the headmaster agreed. Uncle Shi would naturally not go against the master's wishes for such a trivial matter, so he acquiesced."

………………………

Tang Ning returned to the cave. A few days passed by in a flash. When it was time for the ministry to discuss matters, he left the room and came to the Zhongzhi Peak Meeting Hall.

The disciples on duty in front of the hall all looked surprised when they saw him and bowed to him.

Tang Ning nodded slightly and went straight into the inner room. There were already two people sitting inside, one of whom was Zhang Yan with a gray beard and hair.

One person with thick eyebrows and big eyes is Zhao Liheng.

"Senior Brother Tang, welcome back to the Intelligence Department." Zhang Yan said with a smile, obviously already aware of his appointment as inspector.

Tangning walked to the first seat on the right and sat down: "I have never left, so how can I talk about coming back? If I want to congratulate him, it is also congratulations on his release after serving his sentence."

"This is different after all! Now you are an inspector of subordinates, so your status is different."

"Senior Brother Tang, congratulations." Zhao Liheng next to him also congratulated.

While several people were talking, a man with a broad forehead and broad face came in from the outside. He was Wei Xian, a newly established disciple.

After about tea time, Lu Guang walked into the hall and sat down at the main seat: "We are all old acquaintances, so I won't make any unnecessary introductions. From now on, Junior Brother Tang Ning will serve as the inspector of the headquarters."

"Our department is currently short of manpower. Since the death of Senior Brother Zhu Xu, Senior Brother Liu Miao and Junior Brother Dong Jianchang have died again. In the past few years, there have been no new Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Department. Junior Brother Tang, how about you temporarily take charge of the intelligence collection work? Previously, Junior Brother Zhao was responsible for intelligence liaison and compilation. "

Zhao Liheng was originally in charge of the department's finances. After Zhu Xu's death, Lu Guang served as the deacon. As the saying goes, once an emperor is a courtier, he was sent to manage intelligence and liaison, while Wei Xian was in charge of the department's finances.

Tangning nodded slightly in agreement.

"Okay, Junior Brother Zhao, from now on, you will only be responsible for intelligence liaison! There is only one thing to discuss this time. Feng Yu, the director of the Eastern Jiangdong Intelligence Station, applied to be transferred back to the sect to prepare for foundation building. I intend for Ma Jun, a disciple of the fifth team, to take over. This position.”

None of them had any objections.

"Junior brothers, if you have nothing else to do, let this discussion end here!"

"Let me say a few words!" Tangning suddenly said.

Lu Guang looked at him: "What's wrong with Junior Brother Tang?"

"A few days ago, when Master Tong summoned me, he put forward his opinions on the funding of our department. Currently, the sect's finances are tight, and all the departments and departments in the halls, colleges and departments are cutting down on expenditures. However, the annual funding of the main department is still as high as 150,000 souls. There are so many stones. Where have these spiritual stones been spent? I think it is necessary to explain clearly."

Lu Guang frowned slightly: "What does Junior Brother Tang mean?"

"I request that a financial agenda be added to the discussion at the end of each month and that the monthly expenditures of the department be clearly stated. This agenda was implemented by our department for a period of time before and was later cancelled. I think it is still It needs to be discussed.”

The hall fell into silence for a while. Everyone knew about the grudges between Tang Ning and Lu Guang, and they all fell silent when they saw that he was so angry when he arrived.

Lu Guang pondered for a while: "Okay, that's it, we decided to add a financial agenda at the end of the month. Is there anything else that Junior Brother Tang wants to say?"

Tangning shook her head.

Lu Guang announced the end of the discussion, and everyone left the hall and turned into light and left.
