Chronicles of Celestial Origins

At the Zhongzhi Peak, outside the cave, a ray of light came out, and a man with a fat head, big ears, fat body and gray temples appeared. He was Wu Teng, the head of the Nighthawk Intelligence Station.

Because the new leader was about to be elected, he put aside the matters at hand and returned to the sect to participate in the upcoming voting for the leader.

Wu Teng returned to the cave, sat cross-legged, and restored the spiritual power that was lost during the journey. Less than a stick of incense later, the storage bag around his waist suddenly trembled.

He took out the formation plate a little, took the talisman into his hand, and poured his spiritual consciousness into it. A man's voice sounded, but it was Lu Guang's disciple Zhang Qian.

He fiddled with the array plate for a while, and soon, footsteps sounded outside. A thin man with a fair complexion came outside the house, bowed and saluted: "Disciple Zhang Qian pays homage to Master Xun."

Wu Teng chuckled and said: "Zhang Qian, you are very well-informed! You came to my door before I even got hot. You have been guarding me in front of my house, haven't you?"

"Master was joking. Master has always been thinking about him, so he told Hu Shanke that if he returns to the sect, he must inform us as soon as possible. So when I heard about master's return so soon, master specially ordered me to come. Please come to my uncle’s house and have a chat.”

"Let's go!"

The two of them left the house one after another and came to the main room of Lu Guangdong Mansion.

"Junior brother Wu is back, please take a seat." Lu Guang stood up to greet him, and the two sat opposite each other.

"I don't know what Senior Brother Lu has summoned me to do?"

"Junior brother Wu traveled day and night before returning to the sect. He shouldn't have disturbed his rest, but the matter was very important, so he took the liberty to invite him to talk. Five days later will be the period for the sect's leader to be selected, between Qingxuan Hall and Xuande Hall. Now, does Junior Brother Wu have any inclinations?"

Wu Teng smiled and said: "I'm just the head of a small intelligence station. I don't have to worry about such a big thing as the selection of the sect's leader. Both Master Luo and Master Shi are the pillars of the sect. Who will be in charge?" As far as I'm concerned, both are fine."

Lu Guangdao: "Having said that, nothing can be achieved without rules. It has always been our Xuanmen tradition that the master of Qingxuan Palace succeeds as the headmaster. Uncle Shi has been in office for many years and has worked hard to manage the sect in an orderly manner. It is natural for him to be promoted to the headmaster." Things."

"There are some people who think they are superior in cultivation, so they resort to plundering and breaking the rules. Is this the right thing in the world?"

"If you have a high level of cultivation and become the head teacher, what do you want us to do? Junior Brother Wu, do you think so?"

Wu Teng nodded and said: "Senior Brother Lu's words are reasonable."

"Junior Brother Wu, to be honest, I invited you here today because I hope you can vote for Uncle Shi on the election of the headmaster. I wonder what you think?"

"I know Senior Brother Lu's intention. Let me consider this matter."

Lu Guang said: "No rush, there are still a few days, Junior Brother Wu can think about it slowly. Oh, by the way, the last time your intelligence station applied for a spiritual stone subsidy, I reported it to Yuanyi Palace. You know that the sect's finances are currently tight. , many spiritual stone subsidies have been cancelled, but I know the difficulties of your intelligence station and will try my best to promote this matter."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Lu."

Lu Guang changed the subject: "I heard that there have been some unusual movements within the Blood and Bone Sect recently. What's going on?"

"There is an elder in the Blood Bone Sect who has passed away, and there is another person who has been newly promoted to the Golden Elixir. There is some friction between the newly promoted Golden Elixir and another elder, so it is very uneasy."

The two talked about the information station for a long time, and Wu Teng left and returned to the cave. Less than half an hour later, there was another tremor in the storage bag.

He took out the formation plate a little, took the talisman into his hand, and then flashed out of the cave.

Outside the thick fog, a handsome-looking man stood, it was Tang Ning.

Wu Teng Dunguang fell in front of him and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Tang, you are a rare visitor! Please come in quickly."

The two of them entered the cave and sat down separately. Tang Ning said, "I'm here late at night and I'm going to bother you. I hope Junior Brother Wu won't take offense."

"Senior Brother Tang, you're welcome. Wu is honored that Senior Brother Tang can come to our house."

"Junior Brother Wu is not surprised, so I will get straight to the point. Junior Brother is here to participate in the meeting to select the head. I don't know whether there is a preference between Uncle Luo and Uncle Shi?"

Wu Teng smiled and said: "The major affairs of the sect are not something that I, the head of a small intelligence station, can worry about. Uncle Luo and Uncle Shi are both the pillars of our sect. It seems that either of them can be the leader."

Tang Ning said: "Junior Brother Wu, what you said is wrong! Now is the critical autumn of our sect. At the time of survival and death, the position of head teacher should be filled by a capable person. If a middle-stage Jindan monk is appointed as the head teacher, wouldn't it make people laugh? Is there no one in my sect?”

"Even the leader of the Demon Sect is a late-stage Jindan cultivator, but my powerful Xuanmen is not as good as it. How can this be justified?"

"Furthermore, Master Luo respects the virtuous and corporal, loves talents and cherishes people, so he should serve as the head of the sect. Wouldn't it be absurd if a capable and virtuous person does not occupy a high position, but an incompetent and virtuous person does?"

Wu Teng said: "Senior Brother Tang's words are reasonable. I will think more about this matter."

Tang Ning said: "I know that the Nighthawk Intelligence Station has always had difficulties in providing spiritual stone subsidies. I once served as the director of the Silver Fox Intelligence Station and have had several conversations with Uncle Luo. He fully understands the importance of intelligence and our Regarding the plight of the intelligence station, he has repeatedly expressed the need to pay attention to intelligence affairs. If he can be elected, the life of the intelligence station will definitely be better than before. "

Wu Teng said: "I know, I will consider it carefully."

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

……………………………………………………

A few days passed by in a blink of an eye, and on December 30th, the time for the election of the headmaster, Tang Ning left the cave and came to the meeting hall at Zhongzhi Peak when the sky was white.

Zhang Yan, Du Yuankai, Wei Xian, Zhao Liheng, Wu Teng and others were already sitting inside. Tangning nodded to them and then sat down in the first seat on the left. Not long after, Lu Guang came in from the outside, looked at everyone and said : "All junior brothers are here, let's go!"

A group of people filed out of the main hall, turned into light and rose up. Not long after, they arrived at the meeting hall of the Secret Academy.

…………………………

At that time, everyone from the Inspection Department and the Security Department were already inside.

Lu Guang sat down below, while Tang Ning and others stood on both sides. Everyone was smiling and chatting, and one after another, the managers of the Discipline Department, the Forbidden Secrets Department, the Secrecy Department and the Directly Affiliated Department also arrived.

About a quarter of an hour later, Tong Quan'an came in from outside, and everyone bowed and saluted.

Tong Quan'an sat down at the main seat and said, "Everyone in charge of the ministries and departments has arrived!"

Lu Guang and others nodded in agreement.

Tong Quan'an said: "In this election of the leader, the only candidates are Junior Brother Shi Mingsui of Qingxuan Palace and Senior Brother Luo Qingshui of Xuande Palace. According to the sect's regulations, all department managers must vote from these two people. The person with the most votes will be the new head of the sect.”

"The voting method is a secret ballot. Everyone must sign their name and position to choose the suitable person to be the leader. No abandoned votes are allowed."

"The voting results will be announced jointly by the former headmaster and the other hall masters of the three halls and houses who did not participate in the election. Only the votes will be counted during the announcement process, and the information will be kept confidential from the voters."

"After the voting ends, the person with the highest number of votes will succeed as the leader, and no one may raise any objections."

"do you understand?"

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.

"Let's go!" Tong Quan'an waved his hand, stood up and left the hall.

Everyone followed closely and came to Qianxing Mountain.

………………………………

In the meeting hall, Wei Xuande was sitting high on top, and Shi Suiming and Luo Qingshui were sitting first on the left and right below.

Tong Quan'an went straight down and took a seat. Not long after, Peng Wanli of Yuan Yidian arrived with everyone.

The disciples lined up according to each hall and courtyard and stood in the center of the hall. There were more than a hundred people in the whole hall lined up neatly and silently.

When Wei Xuande saw that all the halls and courtyards had arrived, he coughed slightly, stood up and said, "Today is a grand event for the sect. From now on, I will officially step down as the head of the Qianyi Sect."

"The disciples need to elect a new head teacher between Junior Brother Luo and Junior Brother Shi."

"Now, the meeting to select the leader begins."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen Qi Refining disciples on both sides took out a whole stack of papers and distributed them to everyone in the hall one by one.

Everyone immediately filled in their names, positions and voting objects, and then put them into the black boxes on the desks on both sides. The whole process only took a while to drink tea.

After Tangning wrote down her name, position and Luo Qingshui, she folded the paper, put it into the mysterious box, returned to the queue, and waited for the results.

Wei Xuande, Peng Wanli, Tong Quan'an, Cheng Shuimin, and Jiang Ming collected the papers in the wooden box.

Under the gaze of the other four people, Wei Xuande picked up the folded paper and began to count the votes: "Shi Mingsui, Luo Qingshui, Luo Qingshui, Luo Qingshui, Shi Mingsui..."

As he landed on the ground, the Qi Refining disciples on both sides quickly took notes. Tang Ning silently calculated in her heart until Wei Xuande stopped speaking and finished reading the last note.

The truth comes out.

Tang Ning felt a little happy because Luo Qingshui's votes were more than a dozen more than Shi Mingsui's. The disciples on both sides handed the tally votes to Wei Xuande.

Wei Xuande took the file and said: "A total of one hundred and forty-seven disciples from various halls and departments who participated in the voting have all cast their votes. The final result is that Junior Brother Luo Qingshui voted 86, and Junior Brother Shi Mingsui Sixty-nine votes.”

"I declare that Junior Brother Luo Qingshui will be the twelfth generation leader of the Qian Yizong. No one can raise any objections."

Tang Ning raised her eyes and saw that Luo Qingshui and Shi Mingsui had expressionless faces. After hearing Wei Xuande's words, Luo Qingshui stood up slowly.

Wei Xuande turned his hand and handed him the leader's seal and said: "Junior Brother Luo, from now on, you are the leader of the Qianyi Sect. This is the leader's seal and will be kept by you from now on."

Luo Qingshui took the seal with both hands and walked to the main seat to sit down.

"All the disciples pay homage to the master." Wei Xuande said.

Everyone bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "Disciple pays homage to the master."

Luo Qingshui said: "From now on, the former headmaster, Brother Wei Xuande, is promoted to the supreme elder of our sect and enjoys the same treatment as the headmaster. All matters in our sect remain as before. All disciples should work hard to practice and bring glory to our sect."

"Yes." Everyone responded.
