Chronicles of Celestial Origins
Chapter 554 Old Friend
Tang Ning was stunned and fell straight away. Zhao Liheng stepped forward to salute and called him Uncle Tang.
Tangning waved her hand: "There are no outsiders, so there is no need to be polite. You must have been waiting for a long time!"
Zhao Liheng said: "Yesterday I heard that Uncle Tang was promoted to Jindan, but I didn't dare to disturb him rashly late at night. When I came here today, no one responded. I must have been out for something, so I am waiting here to congratulate Uncle Tang on his promotion to Jindan."
"Let's go! Go in and talk." The two of them entered the inner room one after another and sat down separately. Tang Ning said, "I just went to Qianxing Hall to discuss matters. The headmaster asked me who should succeed the deacon. I proposed Junior Brother Xu was promoted to deacon, and you were promoted to inspector, but they rejected it."
Zhao Liheng nodded and said nothing more.
Tang Ning said: "Li Heng! Of course I hope that you will succeed the Deacon of the Intelligence Department, but your qualifications are a little bit lower. Junior Brother Xu has been in charge of the affairs of the Department. His promotion is natural and deserved. Even if I mention you There must be some objections to the name.”
"I have just participated in the high-level decision-making of the sect. It is not easy to argue with others right away, otherwise I will give them a bad impression. So I proposed a compromise method of having Junior Brother Xu serve as deacon and you being promoted to supervisor."
"They agreed on the selection of deacons, but not on the selection of supervisors. We will discuss it later."
"But don't worry, I will fully support you when the time comes."
Zhao Liheng said: "I know, thank you Uncle Tang."
Tang Ning said: "You don't need to be discouraged. Working hard to practice is more important than any false reputation. Of course, there is a big gap between the salary and funding of stewards and deacons in terms of spiritual stones. If you have any difficulties with spiritual stones, you can come to me. Others I dare not say that cultivation elixirs can still be provided.”
The two chatted for a while, then Zhao Liheng said goodbye and left.
Tangning sat down cross-legged. After a while, the storage bag on his waist shook again. He opened his eyes, took out the formation plate a little, and took the talisman into his hand. His consciousness poured into it, and a man's voice sounded in his mind. It turned out to be Xu Qiyuan came to visit.
Over the years, three people in the Intelligence Section have successfully established a foundation one after another. Xu Qiyuan is one of them. He successfully established the foundation seven years ago and serves as the manager of the Intelligence Section, responsible for intelligence liaison.
The other two are Li Muhua and Jiang Xian.
Li Muhua successfully built the foundation three years ago, and Jiang Xian was originally a disciple of the fourth team of the action subordinate team.
Li Muhua and Xu Qiyuan both failed in building foundations for the first time and succeeded only the second time.
Outside the cave, Xu Qiyuan saw the thick fog billowing and a passage cleared. He flashed into the inner room and came to the main room. He bowed and saluted: "Disciple pays homage to Master."
"sit down!"
"Yes." Xu Qiyuan sat down as he was told: "Congratulations to my uncle for achieving the realm of golden elixir. It was already late at night after I heard about it yesterday. I didn't dare to disturb you. I came here to pay my respects today."
Tang Ning said: "I am about to be promoted to the manager of Yuanyi Palace, and the intelligence department will be handed over to you. Intelligence matters are very important to the sect. You need to take care of them, but you must not neglect your practice."
Xu Qiyuan said: "Uncle Master, I have something I don't know if I should ask you something?"
"Say it!"
"After my uncle leaves the Intelligence Department, it is unknown who will take over the position of deacon?"
Tangning glanced at him and said with a smile, "Is it possible that you are interested in running for the position of deacon?"
Xu Qiyuan said: "My disciple's cultivation is low, so how can I dare to have such delusions? I am asking my uncle for my aunt. I think she is also in charge of the department. I wonder if she can participate in this election?"
"Is this what Fellow Daoist Xu meant?"
"No, my aunt is stationed at the front line of Yingxia Mountain. She doesn't know about this yet. It was my disciple who took the liberty of asking."
Tang Ning said, "I haven't seen fellow Taoist Xu for a long time. Let's do this! Go to Yingxia Mountain and send a message to her to come back to the sect. I have something I want to talk to her about."
"Yes." Xu Qiyuan knew in his heart that recalling Xu Qingwan at this time must be for the purpose of running for the Ministry of Deacons. He did not dare to ask any more questions, nodded in agreement, and then left.
Not long after, Xu Yuan, Li Muhua, and Jiang Xian also came to congratulate them one after another. Tang Ning entertained them one by one and chatted with them.
………………
In the Alchemy Department, in the Xuanzhu Peak Cave Mansion, a man with a fair complexion and a tall figure came to a room and said rather impatiently: "Dad, what on earth is going on, why are you calling the child here in such a hurry?" , The boy is making elixir! It will be finished soon."
Inside, a man with gray hair on his temples was sitting cross-legged on a futon. It was Mu Pingbo. Seeing his frizzy look, he shook his head helplessly and said, "How can it be so easy to succeed, you! You are so restless and angry, how can you just do it now?" God, I want to practice the Wan Ling Dan. Refining an elixir is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It requires accumulation of experience over time. The more impatient you are, the more you get half the result with twice the effort."
The man curled his lips: "If you are as old as you, what's the use of successfully refining the Strengthening Pill?"
Mu Pingbo sighed slightly: "Yes! At my age, it is useless even if you can refine third-level elixirs. This is why I don't place you in the alchemy department, where you have to deal with elixirs every day. It will delay the practice and sacrifice the basics. After all, monks still focus on cultivation. You must remember this and don't follow my old path. I just spent too much time on elixirs."
The man said: "I know, how many times have you told me, Dad, why are you calling me back so urgently?"
Mu Pingbo said: "Have you heard? Another person from the sect has been promoted to Jindan."
The man said: "I heard that it is Tang Ning, the deacon of the Information Department of the Secret Academy. Today I heard the discussion in the alchemy room. He said that he is not only exquisite in magical powers, but also proficient in elixirs. In the past years, he often went to the alchemy room."
Mu Pingbo said: "I called you back today to take you to visit him. At my age, my spiritual practice has come to an end, and I can't always take care of you. After I pass away, he may look after me. Take care of you."
The man was surprised: "Are you familiar with him?"
The old man sighed slightly: "It was a long time ago when I met him. Not to mention you, even your mother has not yet come to this world."
The man asked: "Why have I never heard you say that before?"
"What is there to say? If it weren't for the fact that I have no hope of practicing and have a short lifespan, I am worried that no one will care about you in the future, and I don't want to see him. I have come to the end of my life, and you still have a long way to go. You have to meet some people. , it will be of some help to you in the future.”
The man asked curiously: "Dad, how did you meet him?"
"Stop talking about this, let's go!" Mu Pingbo shook his head.
The two of them left the room one after another. After a short while, they came to the Zhongzhi Peak Cave House and handed the talisman inside.
Not long after, thick fog rolled in, and the two of them entered the inner room one after the other.
When Tangning saw the man in front of her with graying hair and beard, and wrinkled eyes, she couldn't help but feel as if she was in another world. Time is not forgiving! Two hundred years later, the young man who was full of energy, dressed in bright clothes and angry with his horse, turned into a sluggish old man in the blink of an eye.
"Pingbo, long time no see. There are no outsiders here. There is no need for so many etiquette between you and me. Please sit down!"
Mu Pingbo sat down as he was told and said, "I heard that you have successfully formed the elixir, so I took the liberty to come to congratulate you. This is the dog Mu Tiancheng."
Mu Tiancheng bowed and saluted: "Disciple pays homage to my uncle."
Tang Ning said, "The last time I saw you was seventy or eighty years ago. I remember you didn't have any children at that time. Suddenly, your children are now so big. Which department do you serve in?"
"He is now in the Internal Supervision Department of Yuan Yi Palace."
"What a coincidence, I will soon take up a post in Yuan Yidian. I don't have anyone around me for the time being, so let him follow me! Pingbo, what do you think?"
Mu Tiancheng was overjoyed when he heard this. Before Mu Pingbo could speak, he bowed and replied, "Thank you, uncle."
Mu Pingbo said: "Thank you, I am old! The only thing I am worried about is this child. I don't know how to speak at first. If anything happens in the future, just tell him to do it. If nothing else, he can sweep the kitchen and send messages. I can still do the legwork.”
Tang Ning said: "Pingbo, to be honest, this is the first time I see you! I'm quite surprised. How long have we known each other?"
Mu Pingbo said: "It's been more than two hundred years since we first met! You haven't changed much, but I, with white hair like snow and a short lifespan, will soon turn into a pile of withered bones. ”
Tang Ning said: "I remember that we ate big cakes for several months in the Luoyun Mountains and looked for snakes, scorpions and game everywhere."
Mu Pingbo smiled: "At that time, I thought that if I entered the Immortal Sect, I would be able to live forever. I thought about traveling to the ends of the earth day and night, and traveling to the corners of the sea at dusk. Who knew that cultivation was actually so boring."
The two of them reminisced about the past and chatted and laughed for a while. Suddenly, there was a shaking in Tangning's storage bag. He picked up the formation disk, pointed it at it, and took the talisman into his hand.
Seeing this, Mu Pingbo stood up to say goodbye and led Mu Tiancheng out of the cave.
A beautiful woman with a round waist and fat butt walked in from outside and passed by the two of them. Mu Pingbo nodded slightly and Xu Wanqing nodded in return.
Until the two of them gradually drifted away, Mu Tiancheng looked back at her and said softly: "Dad, could this be Xu Qingwan from the Intelligence Department who is said to be the most beautiful woman in Newport? I heard the disciples in the alchemy room talk about her. ”
"probably!"
"I heard that there seems to be something between her and Tangning..."
"Don't talk nonsense. Don't get involved in this matter in the future."
In the main room of the Cave Mansion, Xu Qingwan stepped forward and saluted: "Uncle Tang."
Tang Ning smiled and said, "You're here, sit down! There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to talk about these etiquettes. It sounds quite awkward. I don't know who specifically made the rules. Sometimes they are seniors and juniors, and sometimes they are uncles and uncles. The seniority is complete. It’s a mess.”
Xu Qingwan followed the words and took her seat: "I also think it's quite confusing, but in the end, the definition of cultivation is based on strength. If you have high cultivation level and strong strength, you will naturally be respected, and your seniority will naturally be noble. There is nothing wrong with that."
"You returned to the sect from the intelligence station and were transferred to the Yingxia Mountain camp. Are you still getting used to it?"
"It's not that delicate. It's the same everywhere."
"I'm afraid it's different! I've heard everything. There are quite a few people in the sect who covet and pursue you. They even regard you as the most beautiful woman in Xingang. Some people even come to me and ask me to be a matchmaker."
