Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Fang Dasheng smiled and waved his hand: "This Xuantang City is a small place, but the situation is not simple. There is a saying, the temple is small, the wind is strong, the water is shallow, and the water is shallow. There is no better way to describe the complicated situation here. ”

"This junior is new here and doesn't know the personnel. I hope my seniors can give me more advice in the future."

"This cannot be explained clearly in a few words. If you really want to say it, it will take a few days and nights. From now on, if you communicate with Meng Yuan more often, it will become clear over time. Meng Yuan, you are brothers, Tangning and I If I have an old friend, you, my senior brother, should be more helpful."

"Yes." Xu Mengyuan stood behind him and replied: "Brother Tang, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, just come to me."

"Thank you, Brother Xu."

"By the way, I heard that the identities of your disciples haven't been decided yet, right?"

"Yes, this junior has already submitted a dossier report, identity token and body test stone three years ago, but so far the new identity token has not been issued, so he is not considered a formal disciple of Xuanzong."

"It's not that fast. Not to mention how long the delay is. The group of disciples handling affairs at Shanmen are all uncles. The identity change is a troublesome matter. It needs to be signed and stamped by several departments. Zhang, it's normal to stay here for a few years." Fang Dasheng looked at Tang Ning with a half-smiling expression, "It must be Master Nangong's help behind your being recruited by this sect!"

"I dare not hide it from senior. In fact, junior has never met senior Nangong. I just heard from senior Bai Jintang that it was senior Nangong who solved the matter for junior."

Fang Dasheng smiled and said, "If it weren't for her, no one else would have such ability."

"Junior has something to ask for, I hope senior can grant it."

"But it doesn't matter."

"In my early years, I had a disciple who was recruited by me when I was in Qian Yizong. Although she served in the Allied Army before, she did not accept the recruitment of Qingzhou Xuanmen. She is now waiting for me in Qianyuan City. I want to take a leave of absence. Bring her to this city so that we can take care of her."

"In that case, Meng Yuan, please accompany Tangning! Bring his disciple over and assign him a position below."

"Yes." Xu Mengyuan responded.

"Thank you, senior." Tangning was overjoyed: "Young man from Qianyuan City, you can just go on your own, how dare you trouble Brother Xu to run around?"

"Let's go together! It just so happens that you are not familiar with the affairs of this department. You can communicate more along the way."

The two chatted for a while, then Tang Ning stood up and left. Xu Mengyuan sent him out of the cave and said, "Brother Tang, how about we leave at midnight tomorrow? I'll wait for you here."

"Everything is according to Brother Xu's orders."

"Then I will send you not far away."

"Brother Xu, stop, I'll take my leave." After Tang Ning said that, she turned into light and left.

He knew very well that the reason why Fang Dasheng was so polite and opened the door to convenience was actually because of Nangong Muxue's relationship.

But he didn't know that Nangong Muxue didn't really pay much attention to him, or in other words, he overestimated his importance to Nangong Muxue.

It is basically impossible to get convenience by clinging to Nangong Muxue by yourself.

Of course, Fang Dasheng may have his own considerations and plans.

Tang Ning didn't care what he was thinking. Since Fang Dasheng had such a plan, he was naturally happy to use the tiger's skin as a banner. Anyway, this matter would benefit him at all.

Not long after walking, I returned to the room under the small mountain. As soon as I sat down cross-legged, I heard footsteps outside, and then there was a knock on the door.

Tang Ning stood up and opened the door. Two men stood outside, none other than Zhang Ziqing and Wu Tongming.

"Fellow Taoist Tang, I'm sorry to bother you." Zhang Ziqing said with a smile on his face.

"Two fellow Taoists, please." Tang Ning had already expected that the two of them would come to inquire about the situation, so she was not surprised.

The three of them entered the inner room and sat opposite each other.

"I wonder where the Taixuanzong disciple named Xu went before? What was the matter?" Wu Tongming said straight to the point.

"Oh, that's it. This person's name is Xu Mengyuan. His teacher, Senior Fang Dasheng, has some old acquaintance with me. He heard that I was here, so he called me to meet him."

"Fang Dasheng? Do you know what position he holds here?" Zhang Ziqing asked.

"To be honest with you two, I don't know very well. We only chatted about some past events. As for his specific position, I can't ask him rashly, but I think he should be a high-ranking monk here." Tang Ning was half-truthful. said.

Zhang Ziqing and Wu Tongming couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this.

Wu Tongming said: "I wonder if Senior Fang mentioned anything about you and me taking office?"

"I'm afraid our identity tokens won't come out that quickly. It will probably be delayed for a while. As for the specific job arrangements, they haven't said anything."

Zhang Ziqing smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist Tang, I didn't expect you to be acquainted with the senior officials here. If anything happens in the future, please take care of us."

"Fellow Daoist Zhang was joking. Senior Fang and I are just casual acquaintances. I thought he was nostalgic, so he called me to chat for a while on a whim."

"In any case, since you are acquainted with the senior management here, it is better than us being helpless. By the way, now that we are here, Xu Mengyuan has not told us not to go out. How about we take a tour of the city together tomorrow?"

"I am going to Qianyuan City tomorrow, and I have made an appointment with my disciple to meet there. I have just taken leave from Senior Fang, and I will set off at 10:00 tomorrow. You two Taoists, please take a look around! I won't do it. Accompany you.”

"That being the case, that's all."

The three of them chatted for a while, and then Zhang Ziqing and Wu Tongming left.

The next day, around midnight, Tang Ning came out of the room and waited in front of Fang Dasheng's cave. Not long after, a ray of light came out from inside, and the figure of Xu Mengyuan appeared: "Brother Tang, you've been waiting for a long time!"

"No, I just arrived."

"Let's go!" The two of them jumped up and left the mountain range. After walking for most of the day, they arrived at a shop called Hengyuan Wutong Pavilion in a nearby city.

"Senior Xu, you are here." As soon as the two of them stepped into the room, a beautiful woman came up to greet them and said salute.

Xu Mengyuan nodded and walked straight in. Not long after, a white-faced man came towards me with a smile on his face and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, you are a rare visitor! Why did you come to the shop today? What orders do you have?"

Xu Mengyuan said: "I have some things to go to Qianyuan City. I wonder when your company will have a merchant ship to Qianyuan City?"

"I'll make arrangements immediately." The man responded, turning to the woman behind him and saying, "Let's check, when will the fastest merchant ship to Qianyuan City leave? Get two boarding license plates."

"Yes." The woman responded and left.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, please go to the backyard to talk." The three of them walked through the main hall, turned along several long corridors, and came to a courtyard at the back. The man pushed the door open and entered. The room inside was spacious and bright, with carved beams and paintings, and the aroma was fragrant.

The three of them were seated separately. The man looked at Tang Ning and said, "This fellow Taoist looks strange to me. May I ask your name?"

Xu Mengyuan said: "Let me introduce you. This is Tang Ning, a disciple of our sect who has been newly transferred to our office. He has a relationship with my master. This time he went to Qianyuan City for something, and my master asked me to accompany him."

"Brother Tang, this is fellow Taoist Sima Ang. Everyone in our Yuanxian County knows about the Sima family. If we talk about the influence in Yuanxian County, they say it is second, but no one dares to say it is third. First, this Wutong Pavilion is one of their properties.”

Tang Ning said: "The name of the Sima clan is as loud as thunder. Even though Tang lives in a back alley, he has heard about it."

The Sima clan was originally from a young age, and its great ancestor, Sima Zhongxuan, had the appearance of an eagle looking at a wolf, a man of forbearance, and a strategist. However, his nature is greedy and his conduct is despicable, which is despised by the heroes of the world.

The great ancestor of the Shi family in Yongzhou once commented: How despicable! A true man should act with integrity and integrity, as bright as the sun and the moon. In the end, he is not like Sima Zhongxuan, who conquered the world with his charm.

Another hero of later generations, Ruan Sizong, passed by Yuanxian County, climbed up to view the city, and sighed with emotion: "There are no heroes in those days," thus making Shuzi famous.

"I don't know where fellow Taoist Tang is from?" Sima Ang asked.

"I am a native of Xingang, Qinghai, and this time Qingzhou Xuanmen is recruiting. Fortunately, I was selected and recruited by Taixuanzong, so I was assigned to this city."

"That's it." Sima Ang nodded, and the three of them chatted for a while. Footsteps were heard outside the house, and two women came in from the outside. One of them held a tray and placed the spiritual food and spiritual wine on the table for three people. superior.

Another person handed two number plates to Xu Mengyuan and said: "Senior Xu, our pavilion will have a Fengling ship heading to Qianyuan County in the future. Senior, please stay here for two days. Then I will take senior there."

Xu Mengyuan took the token and nodded, and the two women withdrew.

Sima Ang said: "It's rare for these two fellow Taoists to come here. I apologize for the poor reception. I have something else important to do. I'll excuse you now. If you need anything, please let me know."

"Fellow Taoist, please help yourself."

Sima Ang strode away.

"Senior Brother Xu, does this attic have anything to do with us?" Tang Ning asked when she saw him walking away.

This Sima Ang treated Xu Mengyuan with good food and drinks, and gave him free boat tickets. Moreover, the female cultivators in the attic also knew Xu Mengyuan. Obviously, the relationship between the two was not ordinary.

Xu Mengyuan smiled slightly: "Junior Brother Tang, don't you suspect that the headquarters is involved in this attic?"

"I think this Sima Ang is very polite. Do you think he has a close relationship with our office?"

"You underestimate the Sima clan too much. In this three-thirds of an acre of land in Yuanxian County, there are not many people who dare to challenge them head-on. Let alone us, if the Yuanxian County Office wants to compete with them, , you have to weigh it up."
