Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Then when did you feel hungry?" Tangning continued to ask.

"I don't know. I seemed to have taken a nap before and hadn't eaten for a long time. I felt very hungry when I woke up."

"Do you have any special strange feelings while sleeping?"

"No, oh, by the way, I seemed to have had a dream, but there was something in the dream that I couldn't remember."

"Did you have a dream?" Tang Ning muttered, her suspicions getting even more intense. A monk knows his mind, sees his nature, and is transcendent, so how could he still have a dream? Unless it is falling into an illusion, it is the same as experiencing the tribulation of inner demons.

But since she has broken through from the early stage of the Golden Core to the middle stage of the Golden Core, it stands to reason that there will be no inner demon catastrophe. It is neither an illusion nor a inner demon catastrophe. So what is going on with this dream?

"Did you often dream while sleeping?"

"Well, I remember that I dreamed about it once a long time ago, but I forgot what it was." The girl in white tilted her head and frowned slightly, as if she was recalling: "Well, it happened once."

"What about when you woke up! Did you feel anything strange?"

"I'm very hungry! Didn't I tell you earlier? Xiao Ningzi, please finish asking! Give me the pills as soon as you finish asking."

Tangning turned her hand over and handed her a bottle of Yuanyang Pill: "Last question, do you feel anything else after eating?"

"No." The girl in white moved her hand and took the elixir in front of her. She opened the bottle cap and took a look to confirm that it was the elixir she had taken before. She nodded with satisfaction.

"Just take one of these pills when you're hungry." Tang Ning reminded, worried that she would inhale all of them again.

The girl in white didn't answer, her body flashed, turned into white light, and returned to the black teng tree in the storage bag.

Seeing his figure disappear in a flash, Tang Ning frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

There is no doubt that there must be many unknown secrets about Xiao Zhan. The key point is that even she herself doesn't know. For example, she often talks about being hungry. Before, Tang Ning always thought that she was asking for elixirs for cultivation. An excuse that, it seems now, may not be the case.

She may really feel "hungry". As for why this is the case, the specific reasons are not yet known, but it is basically certain that the "hungry" she refers to does not mean hunger in her belly, but excessive consumption of spiritual power. Therefore, Pills are needed to replenish spiritual power.

Then the question arises. She stays in the black teng tree all day long and does nothing except swallowing pills and meditating. How can she consume too much spiritual power?

Generally speaking, it is impossible for monks to consume spiritual energy while sitting quietly.

There is only one possibility, that is, she is secretly fighting against something during her practice, thus consuming spiritual energy, or it is her own special constitution that causes her to consume spiritual energy even if she does nothing.

And the dream she was talking about is also an unsolved mystery. If we can figure this out, I believe we can have a general understanding of her life experience and the whole story.

According to what she said, this kind of dream appeared twice in total, this time when she broke through to the middle stage of the Golden Core.

The other time appeared a long time ago. If the guess is correct, the previous dream should have appeared when she broke through the golden elixir.

In this way, it can be inferred that this dream will appear every time she breaks through her own realm.

Combining the hunger she mentioned, Tang Ning had a rough guess in her mind. No matter what her background or origins were, she must have been affected by some kind of influence and ended up in this state.

If we call this influence a seal for the time being, then every time she breaks through, she is in the process of unlocking the seal. That dream is probably the remaining effect of her seal.

In this way, many things can be explained. For example, when she broke through the golden elixir, why did she not attract the vision of the spiritual power of heaven and earth? Because she was not breaking through herself at all, but unlocking the seal and restoring her cultivation. for.

The reason why she feels "hungry" is because she usually needs to fight against the negative effects of this seal. In the constant confrontation, the spiritual power in her body is unknowingly consumed, so she needs to replenish her spiritual power.

But why did she need so many elixirs after she unlocked the seal this time and broke through to the middle stage of the golden elixir? This was something that had never happened before when she broke through to the golden elixir stage.

Moreover, after swallowing the elixir, the body still undergoes such changes, which is something that I cannot figure out no matter how hard I think about it.

Perhaps as her cultivation improves, these problems will eventually be solved!

Tang Ning thought to herself, and stopped thinking too much about her matter. She immediately sat down cross-legged, swallowed the pill, closed her eyes and began to practice.

A few days passed by in a flash. On this day, Tang Ning left the room and came to the stone hall on the top of the mountain.

In the room, there were more than ten figures sitting, all monks from the first team of the 6th Column and 8th Alliance of the 23rd Legion.

Several of them saw him approaching and nodded to him. Tangning returned the favor one by one and sat down in a remote location.

Not long after, many more people came one after another. After a quarter of an hour, three figures came in from outside, namely Captain Fang Ting, Inspector Shen Yixin, and Deputy Captain Liu Zhong.

The three of them sat down respectively, and captain Fang Ting said: "According to the order of the alliance, this time our alliance will be directly responsible for the duty of "Xuanhuali", and our team will be specifically responsible for the southern area of ​​"Xuanhuali" for a period of three years. Month, we will set off tomorrow at Chen time.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Inspector Shen Yixin said, "I would like to remind everyone not to miss the time. Fellow Daoist Wang Hua, Fellow Daoist Tian Chong, the last time the Allies asked our team to load and unload frontline supplies, why didn't you participate?"

"We are out of town and don't know about this." Tian Chong replied.

"I know you are out, why don't you report the location? Haven't you read the Alliance Legion Rules and Regulations? Any team below the legion must be stationed in accordance with the instructions. The monks in the team must report a clear reason and location when going out, and they can only go out with the permission of the captain. , did you report it? Did you go out privately once or twice?"

Wang Huandao: "We don't know that our team has new tasks. As a rule, that period is the team's rest period."

"The team may have emergency missions at any time. You have not participated in the team's mission more than once. Since you joined the team, you have missed the team's mission at least three times. In view of this, I have reported you to the alliance for violating the Alliance Legion. According to the regulations, half of your salary for this year will be deducted from the result issued by the alliance."

"What right do you have to deduct our salary?" Wang Hua stood up suddenly and said angrily: "I receive my salary from my sect, what does it have to do with the alliance? I don't want to take a spiritual stone from the Qingzhou Alliance Army."

Shen Yixin said calmly: "I have informed you of the results of the alliance's handling. If you do not obey the punishment, you can appeal to the alliance captain."

"Shen, you are going too far." Tian Chong stood up and smashed the table and chairs: "What kind of bullshit inspector, using chicken feathers as arrows, thinking that we are the "Xingyue Sect" are easy to bully? Let me tell you, my spiritual stone salary cannot be reduced. I am now officially announcing my departure from the team. The reason is that Mr. Tian cannot work with idiots."

After Tian Chong said this, he walked away and went straight out of the stone palace.

"You surnamed Shen, your Hunyuan Sect is going to act cruel. Go back to your Beihai County. It's not your turn to be arrogant here. My fellow Taoists, I'm leaving." Wang Hua bowed his head to everyone and strode away.

There was silence in the stone hall for a while. Everyone saw the two parties arguing, and everyone was like a dumb and blind man, turning a blind eye and hearing nothing.

Captain Fang Ting looked at his nose, nose and heart, standing still, while deputy captain Liu Zhong lowered his eyebrows and looked down, as if he was asleep.

The Hunyuan Sect and the Mirror Moon Sect were the two top sects. One was located in Beihai County, and the other was in Donglai County. They were originally two great sects that had nothing to do with each other, and there was no conflict of interest.

For some reason, there was such a quarrel in this Xuanmen alliance that it was like fire and water.

This is something that almost everyone in the alliance knows and understands. Whenever there are disciples from the Mirror Moon Sect and the Hunyuan Sect in the team, the two parties will start to quarrel with each other as soon as they meet, and there are even private fights.

In this regard, the Allied high-level officials also made special arrangements to completely separate the disciples of the two sects. In short, the disciples of the two sects cannot be allowed to be in the same team.

However, as the two realms of Xuanmen, each dominates one side and affects more than just their own disciples.

"Xingyue Sect" is the great sect of Donglai County. As one of the top three sects in Donglai County, although its power is not as powerful as that of large sects such as Mirror Moon Sect and Hunyuan Sect, it is still extremely powerful.

The key is that it has a very close relationship with the Mirror Moon Sect. It can be said that the Mirror Moon Sect is the leader in Qingzhou. Due to the conflicts and friction between the Mirror Moon Sect and the Hunyuan Sect, the Xingyue Sect is a sect that the Mirror Moon Sect has good relations with. In addition, For some other reasons, Xingyue Sect and Hunyuan Sect were not easy to deal with, and the two sides occasionally had disputes.

To be precise, the various sects in Donglai County and the Hunyuan Sect were not easy to deal with, but the Xingyue Sect was particularly weak.

As far as the direct team is concerned, the friction between the two Xingyue Sect disciples Wang Hua and Tian Chong and Shen Yixin, a disciple of the Hunyuan Sect, has been going on for a long time, but at most it is just a few words behind the scenes, and a head-on conflict like today , this is the first time that the commotion has been so loud.

Shen Yixin's behavior towards them was obvious. Although the alliance had regulations, he had to report in advance and get permission from the captain before going out.

But this thing, like many rules and regulations of Xuanmen, is basically in name only. Few people really take it seriously. Without others telling her, Tang Ning often goes out to make alchemy without ever asking for permission to report it.

And if we talk about missing team tasks, it's not just the two of them, many people have been absent.

Generally speaking, when each team is on duty, three months of the year are required to be on duty. This is fixed. In addition, most of the rest are independent time.

During this period, the alliance would occasionally arrange other tasks, such as loading and unloading frontline supplies, inspecting and maintaining warships, building magic circles, etc.

This kind of tasks are temporary. If there is a shortage of manpower, the team will be transferred there for a period of time. Sometimes they just happen to be out and unavailable. This is excusable and generally not taken into account.

You can't ask everyone to stay in the station day and night for such a temporary task for months and months, and no one is allowed to go out!

Tang Ning had been through so many teams and usually turned a blind eye to this kind of thing. This was the first time she had seen such a serious punishment.

Obviously, Shen Yixin's move was not selfless, but a personal grudge and revenge.

As the saying goes, the matter has nothing to do with oneself, so everyone naturally does not want to get involved in the personal grudges between the two factions and cause trouble for nothing, so they all keep silent.

And the captain Fang Ting is a disciple of Taixuan Sect, so he will not get involved in this matter.
