Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Qin Jiyuan smiled and said: "I am here today just to clarify this matter. Please rest assured, fellow Taoists, that our sect and fellow Qingzhou Xuanmen are fully capable of protecting Qingzhou. In fact, since the Mubei demons invaded Qingzhou, these dozens of During the year, we only captured a few pavilions."

"We are recruiting troops from various sects, and there is a steady stream of new troops joining the front line. However, Mubei Demon's troops are far away, and the follow-up troops cannot come to support them. They have fallen into a situation where they are riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off."

Qin Jiyuan finished speaking, and a man wearing the Qingzong costume below said: "Of course we are willing to believe in the abilities of Taixuanzong and Qingzhou Xuanmen, but with all due respect, the real situation is probably not what Master Qin said just now. The winning ticket is within reach.”

"I heard that the Qingzhou Alliance Army has gathered heavy troops on the front line of Fenghua City, and now the Mubei demons have successively attacked the outer Ting City and are gradually approaching the city."

"Once Fenghua City, which has assembled heavy troops, is breached, the Mubei demons will be wiped out, and Donglai County will be in danger, because other cities simply do not have such strong troops and fortifications."

Qin Jiyuan said: "Fellow Daoist Xue knows one thing but not the other. Although the Mubei demons have achieved some small victories, they are actually at the end of their game. After so many years of stalemate, they have suffered countless casualties every time they conquered a line of defense."

"And our elites are still here, waiting to work. When the time comes, we will immediately launch a counterattack. At that time, we will crush the Mubei demons and recapture the several pavilion cities occupied by them."

A man dressed in Yuxu Sect clothes said: "Master Qin, with all due respect, we are gathered here today because we don't want to hear such vague and ambiguous words."

"We all know that our colleagues in Qingzhou are in trouble now. This is also the main purpose of everyone coming here. It is to deal with the Mubei demon, not to blame each other."

"If the Mubei demons occupy Qingzhou, it will directly threaten the security of Jizhou and Yanzhou. At that time, we will have to allocate forces to garrison Jizhou and Yanzhou, and the situation on the Liangzhou frontline may change because of this. This is what we all Don’t want to see it.”

Qin Jiyuan said: "Fellow Taoist Feng is overly worried. Please rest assured, fellow Taoists, such a thing will never happen."

"Then let's get straight to the point! Headmaster Qin, we have absolutely no intention of disrespecting your sect and Qingzhou comrades. We are simply discussing the matter. Based on the current situation, it is difficult to defeat Mu Mu with the strength of the Qingzhou Allied Forces alone. Northern Demon, if our colleagues in Qingzhou need help, we are willing to contribute."

"However, both Liangzhou and Jingzhou have strong enemies, and the help they can provide is really limited. I heard that the Netherworld Sea side has contacted you many times. Why don't your sect use their power to fight against the Mubei demon? It would be better. The Mubei demon has turned Qingzhou upside down and even threatened the security of Jizhou. "

Qin Jiyuan said: "Thank you for your troubles, fellow Taoists. The problem caused by the demons in Mubei can be solved by our sect and our Qingzhou colleagues without the help of others. Besides, everyone knows that the Netherworld Sea Organization is also ambitious and they are dissatisfied with Xuanmen's rule. It’s not just a day. Bringing them into Qingzhou is just to lure tigers and drive away wolves, which will cause endless troubles.”

"I don't agree with what Headmaster Qin said. Demons are a personal problem, but the Netherworld Sea Organization is Xian Jie's problem. Since they are willing to fight the demons and make them kill each other and weaken the strength of both parties, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

"Besides, given Guizong's influence in Qingzhou, are we still worried that they will turn against the foreigners? I know that their demands are not high, but I really don't understand why Guizong is so stubborn this time."

"Fan Daoyou Fan's words are reasonable. Our biggest enemy is the demon now. We must unite all the forces that can be united. Wasn't it that we spent time and effort negotiating with the Chamber of Commerce to tie them to our ship? Now Netherworld Sea has voluntarily joined our camp. , and what reason is there to exclude them?”

"I heard that the Mubei demons have already established a relationship with the Netherworld Sea. If they turn to the demons, won't it make the situation in Qingzhou even worse?"

"Of course we respect the wishes of your sect and Qingzhou Xuanmen colleagues. After all, Qingzhou is your jurisdiction, but fighting against the Mubei demon involves the overall situation. We don't want to stabilize the situation after all, because the Mubei demon's troubles will stir up trouble. Waves.”

"More importantly, if Qingzhou cannot hold it, then we must dispatch the forces from the Liangzhou frontline to defend Jizhou. This is a huge burden for us."

"Our proposal to let the Qingzhou Alliance Army accept the power of Netherworld Sea is entirely out of good intentions. This is just a suggestion. Guizong certainly has the right to refuse. As long as the Qingzhou Alliance Army can defend Qingzhou and prevent the Mubei Demon from threatening Jizhou and Yanzhou, This affects the entire situation, and I don’t think anyone will have anything to say.”

"But if Qingzhou cannot be defended and we have to allocate our forces to defend Jizhou and Yanzhou, then Taixuanzong will bear a certain responsibility for this. This is the consensus reached by everyone here."

The people below said something to each other.

Shangguan Wuyuan, the headmaster of Daodezong, looked at Qin Jiyuan: "All fellow Taoists are thinking about your sect and the Qingzhou Allied Forces. Headmaster Qin, what do you think?"

Qin Jiyuan still had a smile on his face: "This sect and our Qingzhou colleagues are fully capable of defending Qingzhou. As for what you fellow Taoists just said, I am not the one who can make the decision."

"We all know the capabilities of Headmaster Qin and Guizong. Since Headmaster Qin has said so, we believe that the Qingzhou Allied Forces will be able to defend Qingzhou so that we will have no worries."

………………………………

Not a trace of light penetrated into the dim room, and the disgusting smell of rot was filled. Densely packed maggots on the ground were eating a rotten rat.

A figure sat in it, motionless. I don't know how long it took, but there was a loud bang, the thick stone door was pushed open, and the light shone into the room, which was particularly dazzling.

"Fellow Taoist Chen Da, your sentence has expired and you can be released from prison." A man came in from outside and said.

Chen Da stood up and walked out of the stone room with him, and came to a large hall, where an old man with gray hair on his temples was sitting cross-legged on a futon.

"Senior Yu, this Taoist friend Chen Da has completed his sentence. This is his document." The man stepped forward and saluted, turned out a paper file and handed it to him.

The old man unfolded it, signed it, and returned it to the man.

"Junior, take your leave." The man led Chen Da out of the hall and to the top of a hill. There were two people waiting there, it was Tang Ning and Jiang Yuhuan.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, thank you very much." Jiang Yuhuan bowed his head to the man.

"There's no need to thank you for your hard work. Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Chen, you are now free." The man clicked on him a few times and released the spiritual power restrictions of the spring, spiritual sea, and Niwan Palace: "I will I won’t disturb the gathering of your brothers and sisters, so I’ll say goodbye.”

On the top of the mountain, only three senior brothers from the Qian Yizong were left. After ten years of absence, Chen Da looked much haggard, with sunken cheeks and a messy bun.

"Junior Brother Chen, I know that you are released from prison today, and we are here to welcome you. We have prepared a banquet in our house to welcome you and wash away your dust." Jiang Yuhuan said.

"Thank you." Chen Da had no expression on his face.

"Let's go!"

The three of them jumped out of the light and suddenly arrived in front of a mountain forest house and entered the inner room.

It was empty inside, except for a mahogany round table, on which were all kinds of delicacies, wine and food, and the fragrance was fragrant.

"Although this place is a bit shabby, the best thing is that it is clean and no one will disturb you. Please."

The three of them took their seats, and Jiang Yuhuan poured wine for the two of them: "This time, one congratulates Junior Brother Chen Da on his release from prison, and the other two, we senior brothers are gathering together, it is really time to celebrate."

The three of them raised their glasses and drank in one gulp.

"Junior Brother Chen, actually I am here to explain something to you," Tang Ning said.

"What's up?"

"As for Ren Qinqing, she came to see me a few years ago."

"Wasn't she kidnapped by the Xu family?"

"It is true that she was kidnapped by the Xu family, but there is another reason behind it." Tang Ning then recounted the whole incident and took out a wooden box from the storage bag: "This is what she wanted me to do with you." I handed it to you when I was released from prison.”

Chen Da took the wooden box, stared at it blankly for a while, and then slowly opened it. There were several talismans attached to the inner wall, and a folded silk brocade handkerchief was placed inside.

He took out the brocade handkerchief and slowly unfolded it. The brocade handkerchief was embroidered with a pair of lifelike mandarin duck patterns, and a delicate, bright and plump red bean was wrapped inside.

Chen Da looked at the red bean and seemed to think of something. His pupils shrank suddenly. He stared at the red bean for a long time, and his expressionless expression finally changed.

Red beans grow in southern China.

When spring comes, send out a few branches.

I hope you can pick more.

This thing is the most lovesick.
