Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning returned to Jingbei Mansion, summoned Qin You and Zhu Yu and said, "Go to Shuiyi County immediately and secretly monitor the movements of Xu Mansion personnel, especially Xu Qingxian. If you leave Xu Mansion, come back and inform me immediately. Be careful. Don't Let them find out.”

Hearing this, Qin You and Zhu Yu couldn't help but glance at each other, and both saw doubts and surprises in each other's eyes. Monitoring Xu Mansion? Could it be that he suspected that Xu Mansion had murdered He Wenbin?

Qin You couldn't help but asked in a low voice out of curiosity: "I wonder what the Tang Immortal Envoy wants me to do to monitor the Xu Mansion?

"This is not something you can know. It will be clear by then. Go immediately!"

"Yes." The two of them responded, turned and left, and walked to the door of the room. Tangning's words came from behind: "I know that you have some contacts with several casual cultivator families in Jingbei, and you may have received some small favors from them, but I I remind you to distinguish between public and private affairs. If anyone dares to betray my words to the Xu family, I will take his head."

At the end of the words, the murderous intent was revealed. Qin You and Zhu Yu couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and quickly replied: "I don't dare."

"Go! It's over, I will have my own reward."

After the two left, Tang Ning called Zhao Guang again: "I know that you are mature, prudent and cautious, so I leave this most important matter to you. The Xu family is responsible for all matters related to Bigu Pill in Jingbei. I hope you can help." I have found out all the Xu family’s income and expenses over the years, including how much Bigu Pill they refine every year, how much they pay in tribute, how much they sell privately, as well as their costs and profits.”

Zhao Guang hesitated and said: "This... I'm afraid it won't be easy. These are the core secrets of their family. It is difficult for me, an outsider, to find out."

"I know there is a certain degree of difficulty, just do your best! I will certainly make up for the cost during the process."

"Here we go then."

Tang Ning nodded. The reason why he asked Zhao Guang to do this was because he was a smooth person and had been in northern Jingbei for so many years. He must have a network of contacts. He must know more or less about the situation of the Xu family and sent him there. It would be perfect to inquire.

After giving instructions to Qin You, Zhu Yu, and Zhao Guang, Tang Ning went out and called Zhao Bao: "I heard that there is a training market in Yellow Maple Valley nearby. Do you know the location?"

Zhao Bao nodded numbly.

Of the four casual cultivators recruited by He Wengan, only Zhao Bao was considered honest and honest, which can be seen from his attitude towards He Wengan.

Zhao Guang knew that his death might be related to King Langya but kept it secret. Although it seems that this matter has nothing to do with King Langya, it shows that he was more cautious than loyal.

On the other hand, Zhao Bao always cherished the kindness of He Wenwen's knowledge, so he was silent and just accepted his father's orders.

"Okay, let's take a trip!"

The two of them each took up their magic weapons and flew away.

………………

Zenshan Temple is located on Shenglong Mountain. It is the largest temple in Shuiyi County. It is full of incense and has an endless stream of pilgrims seeking blessings and children. According to legend, in the early years, a giant python practiced here and transformed into a dragon and ascended to heaven, hence its name.

On this day, several men carried two sedans into the temple, and two officials came down. One had a long beard, and the other had a pockmark on his face. The two prayed for blessings in the temple, and they met After chatting with the receiving monk for a few words and giving some money for incense, he settled in the backyard of the temple.

These two people were none other than Qin You and Zhu Yu, who were ordered by Tang Ning to monitor the Xu family.

The Cicada Mountain Temple is isolated and high, and you can have a panoramic view of the entire Shuiyi County from the mountain. Not far from the temple is the Xu Mansion. Most people can only see a rough outline, but the two have long since transformed, and their eyesight is extraordinary. I could clearly see the movements of Xu Mansion’s personnel.

The two discussed briefly and then went to the temple. Shuiyi County is the base camp of the Xu family. The Xu family has been operating here for hundreds of years and has many eyes and ears. The two of them have been in Jingbei for many years and are relatively well-known. If they go up the mountain with their true colors. , I am afraid that the Xu family will know about it immediately, so I have to disguise myself to hide it from others.

"Did the Tang Immortal Envoy already have evidence of the Xu family's crimes? Otherwise, why would we suddenly be asked to monitor the Xu family?" Qin You opened the small window in the room and looked through the window. The entire Xu Mansion was covered at the moment.

"Maybe!" Zhu Yu said.

"Tang Xianshi left the mansion a few days ago and didn't know where he was going. It was probably because of this. As soon as he came back, he asked us to monitor the movements of the Xu family members. It seems that he was going to attack them. Could it be that He Xianshi really Did they kill Xu Qingxian, the old fox? It depends on how he responds this time." Qin You looked at the large Xu family house below and smiled, then turned around and asked, "What's wrong with you? You feel worried. "

He and Zhu Yunai were close friends from the same hometown. When they were young, they accidentally entered a cave and got a spiritual practice code. From then on, they entered the spiritual world. Later they met Zhao Guang and Zhao Bao, father and son. At that time, He Wenban was recruiting casual practitioners as followers. , the four of them went to serve under He Wengan together.

Zhu Yu has been silent since she was a child, but she is calm and insightful in situations.

"It's okay. It's better for us to stay less involved in this kind of fight and just listen to Tang Xianshi's control."

…………

"Tang Xianshi, ahead is the Yellow Maple Valley." Zhao Bao pointed to a mist-shrouded valley in front of him and said.

The two of them drove the magic weapon through the clouds and mist, and landed on the ground. They saw that they were surrounded by thick and tall maple trees, their golden leaves covering the sky and the sun, and the clouds and mist surging above them.

Obviously these clouds and mist were created by the formation, and the purpose was to prevent secular people from entering this place by mistake. The two of them walked for a while before they saw a blue light curtain appear in front of them.

Tang Ning took out a yellow talisman and waved it casually, and the yellow talisman disappeared into the light curtain.

Soon, a gap appeared in the blue light curtain, and the two of them walked in.

There is a cave inside, which is another scene.

Rows of houses, duplex attics with carved railings, and wide avenues paved with blue bricks and stones, endless to the end as far as the eye can see.

Crowds of people in twos and threes on the streets were either full of expectations, some were proud, or some were disappointed as they went in and out of various shops.

At the end of the street, a man in black armor came galloping astride a tall and mighty giant wolf, and stopped in front of the two of them. The giant wolf was seven or eight feet tall, with shiny silver hair all over its body. The eyes are red, and it is the blood-eyed silver wolf, a spiritual beast that is quite famous in the spiritual world.

The man looked at the two of them condescendingly and said, "Are you the ones who handed over the notes just now? Who is Tang Ning?"

"That's right," Tang Ning responded.

"According to the records of our Xingang Chamber of Commerce, it is your first time to come to our market, so I am here to receive you. Do you know the rules of the market?"

"Tang is coming to Guifang City for the first time, so he doesn't know yet."

"Listen carefully. Firstly, fighting is not allowed in the market. Violators will be killed. Secondly, selling items privately is not allowed. Violators will have their property confiscated and be expelled from the market. Thirdly, if you are subjected to any offense in the market, If you feel unfair treatment, you can complain to the management office. Fourth, flying in the air is not allowed in the company, and those who violate it will be expelled from the city."

"Are there all markets in the world?"

"That's right, all regular markets in the world are the territory of our merchant alliance."

"I understand." Tangning nodded.

The man threw down two stone tablets: "This is your stone tablet. Only with this stone tablet can you carry out buying and selling transactions in the market. After the transaction is completed, you need to return it to the management office. Since there is no record of you, I am here to receive you this time." Explain that next time you come or go to another city, just report your name and go to the management office to pick up the stone plaque. "

After that, he rode away on the giant wolf.

Tang Ning took the stone plaque and saw that it was dark brown all over. The surface of the plaque was as smooth as jade. The material was neither stone nor gold nor wood. It was surrounded by patterns and shapes, as if it were artificially carved. On the back were the two characters "Shang Meng" and on the front. It's a numeric number, two six five and two six six.

He handed the stone tablet numbered 265 to Zhao Bao: "Is this the case before when you came here?"

"Only those who come here for the first time will be received by the guards. They have special information recording channels. There will be no guards to receive them next time they come." Zhao Bao replied

"If I change my outfit and name, will they know?"

"This... subordinate doesn't know."

"Stop following me and go for a walk on your own! Let's meet at the management office before sunset."
