Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"I don't know who specifically killed Uncle Yin. It's impossible for the Xu family to follow my command to investigate this kind of thing, but I don't think they need to lie to me. Killing a golden elixir monk with no background is just a crushing blow to them. It's a dead ant." Ren Qinqing turned over his hand and took out a simple wooden box: "Uncle, please help me pass it to Senior Brother Chen Da."

"Okay." Tang Ning took the wooden box and said, "Senior Brother Jiang Yuhuan is currently serving in the City Guards. I will go to the City Guards later and ask Senior Brother Jiang to hand it over to Junior Brother Chen."

"Uncle Master, I have a request, and I hope it will be granted."

"What's up?"

"It's better to give this thing to Senior Brother Chen after he leaves the prison!"

"Oh? Why?"

"This is our agreement." Ren Qinqing smiled slightly, looking sad and sad.

"Actually, I think it would be better if you hand it over to him personally." Seeing her appearance, Tang Ning expected that this was a private matter between the two of them.

"We won't have this chance, maybe it's better to keep some thoughts in mind."

"I will definitely bring this thing."

"Thank you, uncle."

There was a brief silence in the room. Tangning stood up and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"I'm sending Uncle Master off."

The two of them walked out of the courtyard and saw a man with a beard and cheeks walking towards them. He said in a deep voice: "Miss Ren, where are you going?"

"I'll send my uncle away, don't worry, he won't go far."

The man glanced at Tang Ning, turned his body slightly to get out of the way, and the two walked forward, with the man following closely behind.

After leaving the attic, Ren Qinqing saluted and said: "Uncle Master, I'm sorry that I can't send you far away."

Tangning glanced at the bearded man behind her and gave her a deep look: "Take care of yourself. I hope we can meet again."

Ren Qinqing was speechless.

Tangning turned around and left, leaving the inner city.

Seeing his disciple being bullied but unable to do anything about it, he felt extremely unhappy.

Why didn't he want to rise with the sword, but he was weak and weak.

Although the Xu family is hateful, the real root cause lies in the weakness of their own sect.

Qian Yizong, Qian Yizong.

He groaned and sighed deeply.

………………

Suddenly several months passed.

On this day, Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the room with his eyes closed and practicing. There was a knock on the door. He opened his eyes, got up and opened the room. He saw a man with smooth eyebrows and bright eyes standing outside the door. It was Jiang Yuhuan. .

"Senior Brother Jiang, why are you here? Please come quickly." Tang Ning knew that Jiang Yuhuan must be here because of something important.

The two entered the inner room and sat opposite each other. Jiang Yuhuan said: "I came to see Junior Brother Tang this time for an important matter. I found a clue about the murder of Senior Brother Yin."

"Oh?" Tangning was shocked: "What clue?"

"I found Senior Brother Yin's belongings in a shop in Yuanmingli City."

"Senior Brother Yin's relics? Can you confirm it?"

"I am sure that a piece of protective scale armor was given to Senior Brother Yin by Headmaster Wei Xuande for his meritorious service in completing the sect's mission when he had not formed the elixir. This is something I have seen with my own eyes, and it is absolutely unmistakable. "

"Which force is owned by the shop you are talking about?"

Jiang Yuhuan said: "It's a store under the Xingyuan Chamber of Commerce. That day I went to the inner city and passed by the Xingyuan store. I saw the news of the auction hanging on the door. I just wanted to buy some rare materials for practice, so I waited. One day, I attended this auction.”

"At the auction, I saw the organizer took out this piece of phosphorus armor. At first, I thought it looked familiar. It wasn't until they introduced the material and origin of this piece of scale armor that I remembered that it was the bodyguard given to Senior Brother Yin by the sect. "Scale Armor."

"Later, this scale armor was bought by a male cultivator. I had a conversation with this person and took a closer look at the scale armor in his hand. I confirmed that it was indeed the scale armor of Senior Brother Yin."

"Because there is a name left by the weapon refiner on the scales, so it cannot be wrong."

Tang Ning pondered: "If the murderer sold off Senior Brother Yin's belongings, then the possibility of the Xu family is completely ruled out. With their financial resources, they would not care about this spiritual stone at all. In this way, Senior Brother Yin died accidentally and was killed by someone. Robbery?"

"Senior Brother Jiang, do you think there is a possibility that it was Senior Brother Yin who gave this thing to someone else? After all, he didn't have any use for the elixir, and it ended up in the hands of that shop?"

Jiang Yuhuan said: "I have also thought of this. I cannot rule out this possibility for the time being, so I came to you. Aren't Gaoyuan and the others in "Xundali City"? You can ask him for confirmation. He is a person that Senior Brother Yin trusts. , maybe know the details.”

"Okay, I'll go and ask."

The two of them left the house and fled all the way. After most of the day, they came to a mountain forest outside the "inner city".

In the room, Gao Yuan and others sensed the arrival of someone and came out to welcome them. When they saw the two people, they quickly bowed and saluted.

The group entered the room and took their seats. Tangning said, "I won't introduce you to Senior Brother Jiang Yuhuan. Even if you haven't met before, you must know it by now. In fact, we have always been in contact. , but for safety reasons, we did not inform you.”

"Disciple pays homage to Master Jiang." Several people stood up and saluted.

Jiang Yuhuan waved his hand to indicate that several people should take their seats: "This time, Junior Brother Tang and I are here to ask you about the murder of Senior Brother Yin. Do you know that Senior Brother Yin has a silver armor called Silver Mosquito Silk? It is a second-level top-grade spiritual weapon, made by a weapon refiner named Wang Chaoyang.”

Gao Yuan responded: "Disciple knows that Uncle Yin does have this in his luggage."

"Then did he give this silver mosquito silk armor to anyone else?"

"No. The reason why the disciple knows this is because after Senior Brother Zhang Qian disappeared, Uncle Yin once said that this thing was given to him by Headmaster Wei. Originally, he was going to give it to Senior Brother Zhang for self-defense, but unexpectedly, he didn't take action before. Then he disappeared. He told his disciples to practice well and work with all their heart, so that he could hand it over to his disciples in the future, so the disciples were deeply impressed."

"Are you sure he didn't transfer it to anyone else?"

"At least I'm sure I didn't give it to my brothers."

Jiang Yuhuan and Tang Ning looked at each other. The words "Gao Yuan" were enough to prove that this object was sold by the murderer of Yin Qingyuan to the Chamber of Commerce. As long as they follow this clue, they believe that the murderer can be found.

"Okay, we understand. Don't neglect your efforts in cultivation. If you have any questions, please let me know at any time." Tang Ning said.

The two of them left the room, and after some discussion, they went to "Xuanhuali City" and took a merchant ship to "Yuanmingli City".

"Two seniors, what can I do for you?" In the Xingyuan Shop, a woman wearing a chamber of commerce uniform came up to the chief inspector and asked.

Jiang Yuhuan said: "A few days ago, I participated in a small auction held by your store. I wonder who organized it?"

The woman replied: "We hold this kind of auction once or twice a year to attract customers. As for the last auction, Mr. Yuan, the store manager, was specifically responsible for it."

"Can you recommend him to us? We have important matters and we hope to interview him."

"Please follow me." The woman led the two people through the hall, came to a room on the third floor of the attic, and knocked on the stone door.

"Come in." A strong voice came from inside.

The woman pushed the door open and walked in. Sitting there was a man with a beard and a full cheek, who was in the advanced stage of pill formation.

"Lord Xiang, these two guests said they have important matters to interview you, so they were brought here."

The man glanced at the two of them: "What are you doing with these two fellow Taoists?"

Jiang Yuhuan bowed his head and said: "I'm so presumptuous to bother you, I hope you don't blame me. I participated in the auction organized by your store a few days ago, and there was an auction item in it, which is closely related to our sect. I heard about this auction. My Taoist friend is responsible for it, so I came here boldly to find out the origin of this thing.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Ning turned her hand over and handed a storage bag over: "We deeply apologize for disturbing Taoist fellow Taoist Qingxiu. It's just a small thing. Let's express our apologies. I hope fellow Taoist will not refuse."

Xiang Yuan took the storage bag and put it aside. He glanced at Tang Ning and scanned it with his consciousness. He knew that there were ten high-grade spiritual stones inside, and his expression became slightly better: "If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

Jiang Yuhuan said: "During the auction, your Chamber of Commerce brought out a second-level top-grade spiritual weapon, the Silver Mosquito Armor. I don't know where your Chamber of Commerce came from. If you could tell me, I would be grateful." ”

"Under normal circumstances, the activities of items being auctioned by the Chamber of Commerce cannot be disclosed to outsiders, but seeing that it is not easy for you to come from such a distance, since you are so sincere in begging me, let's make an exception! Anyway, it is not a valuable thing. "Xiang Yuan stood up and walked to a cabinet, took out a stack of files, flipped through them a few times, took out one and handed it to Tang Ning: "Read it for yourself!"

Tang Ning took the file and saw that it was densely packed with item names, and there was a line in the middle that recorded silver mosquito armor.

According to the record, this item was sold to Xingyuan Shop by a man named "Zhang Fu" on August 20, 1937, Daoding.

In addition to the silver mosquito armor, this man also sold three top-grade spiritual weapons, four high-grade spiritual weapons, ten second-level spiritual talismans, and two sets of second-level formation flags, with a total value of 630,000 spiritual stones.
