Chronicles of Celestial Origins

As the saying goes, it's not about having too many people but being good about them. These six people's spiritual qualifications are pretty good. After all, one of the important indicators when selecting disciples was excellent qualifications. Therefore, most of the disciples selected have high-quality spiritual roots.

Tangning said some words of encouragement and led a few people out of the inn, leaving the city and walking to the nearby mountains and forests.

"This place is close to the inner city and is relatively safe. You can stay here and practice with peace of mind." Tangning flipped her hands over and took out fifty high-grade spiritual stones from her storage bag and handed them to Gao Yuan.

"These spirit stones are under your control and will be used as your funds for this year. I announce that from now on, Zhang Yao and Wang Jiaxin will receive a monthly salary of three thousand spirit stones, Gao Yuan, Yan Qing, and Xu Jiayin will receive a monthly salary of five thousand spirit stones, and Chen Xiaofan will receive a monthly salary of eight thousand spirit stones. Thousand Spirit Stones. You can use the remaining spirit stones yourself."

"Thank you, uncle." Several people looked happy.

"There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in Donglai County. Behind any inconspicuous person, there may be a huge background. If you go out, you need to be careful about your words and actions. If anything happens, come to me at the Fifth Column of the 23rd Army." After Tang Ning said that, she turned into light and left.

"Uncle Tang is indeed very generous and generous. If those brothers who stayed in Huantingyuan knew about our salary, they would be jealous to death. They stay in the Li family and work hard for them, and their salary is only three or four thousand a month. It's just a spiritual stone," Xu Jiayin said with a smile on her face as she looked at Tang Ning's retreating figure.

Wang Jiaxin said: "I think it is better to tell the brothers in Huanyuanting this news. If they know that Uncle Tang is so generous, they will definitely leave the Li family and join us."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Xu Jiayin's face suddenly solidified.

Gao Yuan, Yan Qing, Xu Jiayin, and Zhang Yao all frowned slightly.

Chen Xiaofan's expression remained unchanged and he just glanced at her.

"What's wrong?" Wang Jiaxin noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere.

Chen Xiaofan said: "Junior sister Wang, everyone has their own ambitions, so why force yourself? They have already made their choice. At the most, it is because they have different ambitions. At the most, it is because they have abandoned the sect."

"Yes!" Gao Yuan agreed: "Junior Sister Wang, you saw what happened that day. They were determined to sever ties with the sect. To put it bluntly, they were no longer disciples of the sect. And Uncle Tang The reason why our salaries are raised is because we have a small number of people, so we have more money.”

"This is not only to allow us to practice with peace of mind, but also to reward us for persisting in following the sect's footsteps and obeying the arrangements."

"Senior Brother Gao is right, Junior Sister Wang, we know that you are soft-hearted and kind-hearted, but this matter is really inappropriate." Yan Qing continued.

Seeing that everyone was reluctant, Wang Jiaxin lowered her head and whispered: "I am just making a suggestion. Since none of the senior brothers are willing, then forget it."

Chen Xiaofan said: "Okay, that's it for now. Don't mention it again. Junior Sister Wang, we are not blaming you. We hope you don't mind. Now there are only six of us left in the Qianyi Sect. We are all in the same boat. , we share weal and woe. I have a suggestion that no matter what decision we make in the future, we should discuss it in advance.”

"Okay, I support it." Yan Qing was the first to agree.

The other people also nodded slightly.

"Junior Brother Gao, I think it's better to distribute the spirit stones that Uncle Tang gave you just now. We are not familiar with the place here and our cultivation is low. No one can guarantee that nothing will happen. Please put the eggs in a few more baskets. Always be safe.”

Xu Jiayin said: "Senior Brother Chen's words are reasonable. I propose to follow what Uncle Tang said and manage their own salary and spirit stones separately. As for the remaining funds, Senior Brother Gao will control them."

Several people said one by one.

……………

Tangning did not return to the Fifth Column station, but went to Xuanhuali City, took a merchant ship to the city guard, met with Jiang Yuhuan, and informed the news of the arrival of the Gaoyuan people.

The reason why he did not inform the Gaoyuan people about Jiang Yuhuan was because he did not want to expose his existence. The attitude of the Xu family was not yet known. They were still in a dangerous situation, so they naturally had to be more cautious.

The two chatted until midnight before Tang Ning said goodbye and left.

…………

In Fenghua City, in the majestic and majestic hall, senior monks from the frontline headquarters gathered together.

Zhu Ruiming, the commander-in-chief of the front line and the dean of the Taixuan Sect's Secret Academy, looked down at a pair of gray-haired men below and asked.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, we have reached a consensus before that the second, third, and fourth legions of your Merchant Alliance will defend Luo Yanting for at least a month. But why did you flee without a fight? In vain will the defenses be strong? Luo Yanting gave in? "

The man surnamed Wang remained calm: "No one wants this kind of thing to happen, but it is unfair for Zhu Daoyou to accuse us of fleeing without a fight. The demons from Mubei came with the masses. We have been holding on for more than ten days. It is really because of the enemy." I am a widower, so I break out, but our casualties are also not few.”

"There are three of your legions stationed in Luo Yanting, coupled with strong fortifications, and the Mubei Demon only has four or five legions. Even if hundreds of thousands of pigs defend it for a month, it will not be a problem. Why did they retreat in just more than ten days? , and when you broke through, the formations deployed in the city were still intact. Fellow Daoist Wang, can you explain?" A person below said.

The man said tit for tat: "Since Wu Daoyou said this, I would like to ask, this time the Mubei demons attacked from all sides and captured the four surrounding pavilion cities at the same time. Why is it that only the "Luo Yan Pavilion" where we are stationed does not have reinforcements, while The three pavilion cities you are stationed in have corresponding reinforcements. It seems unfair for your allies to do this!"

Another man with a pine-shaped crane bone said: "We promised the Merchant Alliance that its troops will have all autonomy. Since your five legions joined our camp, they have always stayed at the rear and have never been on the front line. This is because we respect Business Alliance.”

"This time the Mubei Demon launched a large-scale attack because we don't have enough manpower, so we asked your department to take action. We have already reached a consensus before this. Due to the long-term confrontation between our Alliance Army's troops and the Mubei Demon, many legions have incomplete structures. We are worried that they are short of manpower, so we give priority to supporting them.”

"And your department has been recharging its strength for a long time. It has a complete structure and well-equipped equipment. Therefore, you are asked to hold on for a month. After we defeat the Mubei demons that besieged the other three Ting cities, we will free up our manpower to support you. These are what you were doing at the time. Agreed."

"And the current situation is that your department only defended the city for more than ten days before giving away "Luo Yanting City". Mubei Demon didn't even break through the third line of defense, and captured Luo Yan without any blood. pavilion."

"I would like to ask fellow Daoist Wang, is the Merchant Alliance sincerely working with us to fight against the Mubei demon? Or does it have other motives?"

The man surnamed Wang said: "I don't understand what fellow Taoist Zhang said. Since we joined your alliance, warships, supplies, elixirs, spiritual stones, etc., have been transported in batches. All of this is what you all know." See, why are you turning your back on me now and accusing our business alliance of impure intentions?"

"Then let me make it clear. The Mubei demon sent a secret contact with you, asking you to turn against each other and propose the idea of ​​dividing Qingzhou together. Is Wang Daoyou already ready for this?"

"That's nonsense." The man surnamed Wang angrily said, "Wang already stated this to you ten years ago. Now, fellow Taoist Zhang, we are talking about old things again. Do you want to frame a good person?"

"The state has national laws, and families have family rules. Although your army is not under the coordination of the Allied Forces, we all belong to the same front, and rules must be established. Now your people are fleeing without a fight and handing Luo Yanting over. Wang Daoyou You have to give us an explanation!”

"We have our own punishment for this matter, so I won't bother you fellow Taoists."

"Now there are two choices. First, hand the people over to us and accept the punishments imposed by the Allied Forces. We will ensure that they are dealt with fairly and justly. Second, Wang Daoyou and the men of your Chamber of Commerce will leave Fenghua City and return to Go to your own territory, the Qingzhou Alliance no longer needs your help."

"Does Fellow Daoist Zhang speak on behalf of your alliance? Do you want to unilaterally tear up the contract with the Merchant Alliance?"

Zhu Ruiming said: "We will send people to explain to the merchant alliance, but your department's actions this time really chill us. We cannot believe your department's sincerity unless Wang Daoyou can show enough sincerity."

"You have three days to decide this matter. Within three days, if we see someone, then we are willing to believe in your sincerity. The Qingzhou Allied Forces will have one more friend because of this."

"After three days, we won't see anyone, or Wang Daoyou can gather a team to leave Fenghua City. But I think, from now on, the Qingzhou Allied Forces will have one more enemy."

"Whether you want to go or stay, it's up to you."
