Chronicles of Celestial Origins

He was a disciple of the Secret Security Department of the Secret Academy and Zhou Mao's disciple, so he was much more important than Tang Ning.

The Secret Security Section and the Inspection Section have always been at odds with each other. This is understandable. Both departments have law enforcement powers. The difference is that the Inspection Section is mainly responsible for external law enforcement, while the Secret Security Section is mainly responsible for the investigation of internal disciples of the sect. When it comes to law enforcement and law enforcement, the two sides inevitably collide in their functions, and friction will naturally arise at this time.

This kind of friction is usually a secret struggle, with occasional little stumbling and small movements. You still have to take care of the superficial kindness, which is called taking care of the overall situation.

On the other hand, Tang Ning was in charge of Jingbei and was subordinate to Zhou Mao. She was considered his person, so he turned to Tang Ning when he opened his mouth.

Chu Xiuyan frowned slightly. Of course he could understand the meaning of Gao Huan's words. He moved out Zhou Maolai and pointed out that he was busy with secular affairs. This was to remind the Inspection Department that matters outside the sect and within the territory of Chu State were under his control. It's not the Inspection Section that has the final say.

If it was normal, she would have followed him, but this Tang Ning was really arrogant. A mere district supervisor did not take the Inspection Department and himself seriously at all. If that was all, the anger in his heart would be difficult to dispel, and the face of the Inspection Department was at stake.

Chu Xiuyan originally planned to kill these Xu family servants on the spot. If Tang Ning dared to stop them, he would forcibly detain them. After that, if he wanted to file a letter, he would follow him and sue him for harboring the remnants of the Xu family. This kind of public opinion was justified. Who else can the sect deal with when Po is justified? But now Gao Huan spoke with a clear attitude, and he didn't want to go too far.

He was about to refute Gao Huan's words when he suddenly heard Dong Ling'er behind him saying happily: "Senior Brother Chu, the secret room where the Xu family's property is hidden has been found."

"Where is the secret passage?"

"Right in the tunnel."

After hearing this, everyone in the Inspection Section went into the tunnel one after another, having no time to worry about the verbal dispute just now.

Gao Huan formed a seal with his hands, and a giant claw as big as ten feet stretched out from the ground. With a few strokes, he knocked down a foot-high earth wall. The maids and servants trapped inside screamed and ran away.

After everyone entered the tunnel, they formed a long queue. After walking for about fifty feet, a protruding rock on the wall turned downwards, and the rock wall opened, revealing an empty room.

There are dozens of various magical instruments, a whole row of practice books, various bottles and jars of elixirs loaded on several cabinets, and a very conspicuous white cabinet.

No wonder Xu Qingxian did not take these belongings with him when he was preparing to escape in a desperate attempt. The secret room was isolated from the golden wire net and the sky, and he could not reach the secret room.

The room was small and clearly visible at a glance. Chu Xiuyan only glanced at the items on display and then walked directly to the white cabinet.

There is no doubt that it must contain the most valuable items, presumably spiritual stones, because there are all magical instruments, practice books, and elixirs in the secret room, but there are no spiritual stones.

"Hey! This seems to be a thumb cabinet." Chu Xiuyan said in surprise.

The so-called thumb cabinet is actually a kind of spiritual weapon. The buyer's fingerprint path is set at the time of purchase, so only the owner of the cabinet can open it, because everyone's fingerprint path is different in the world, and the appearance can be changed, but the fingers The texture cannot change.

There is a tiny dent in the upper right corner of the cabinet, just the size of a thumb. The lock can be unlocked by pressing your finger on it, provided that the cabinet owner is qualified.

"It's really a thumb cabinet. Now it's a bit troublesome. Xu Qingxian has already become minced meat. He can't open the cabinet anymore, so he can only break it by force." Tong Wei frowned at the side.

"Although it's a pity, it has to be like this." Chu Xiuyan nodded.

Tong Wei slashed at the cabinet with his sword. He could only hear the sound of metal and stone hitting each other, without causing even a scratch.

"Take the entire cabinet away and take it back to Corey for processing." Chu Xiuyan said when he saw that the cabinet was made of an unknown material and was very hard and not easy to open by force.

Fortunately, this cabinet is not big, only three feet high, and can be put into a storage bag without being carried around.

Everyone swept away everything in the room, left the secret room, and came to the inner courtyard. At this time, the four earthen walls were turned into a pile of loose dirt due to the spiritual power dissipated. The maids and servants in Xu's mansion had already dispersed in a hurry. , but because of the golden wire cage, they couldn't leave the Xu Mansion, so they hid in every corner.

Chu Xiu said: "Since Junior Brother Tang insists so much, and Junior Brother Gao also thinks it is reasonable, I will just follow you. After all, this is your jurisdiction, and the Inspection Department must respect your opinions."

Of course, the reason why he gave in was not because he respected the opinions of the two people, but because the situations were different. One moment and another, the reason was!

The key is that the Xu family's property must be handed over to the sect according to regulations. It will naturally be handed over. It's just a matter of how much. If the dispute is too tense and Gao Huan holds on to it and reports everything, then They get nothing.

Gao Huan is a disciple of Zhou Mao and the actual person in charge of Chu State. He still has some say in this aspect, and Xuande Hall will also listen to his words.

According to his estimation, the number of spiritual stones in the cabinet would be no less than 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. How could he be willing to hand over such a large sum of money? He had to take at least half of it anyway.

No matter how big the matter is, why bother with Lingshi? It's not a deep hatred, so he made a smooth favor.

"The two remnants of the Xu family escaped. Their cultivation is not high and the harm is not great, so I won't bother the Inspection Department." Gao Huan said.

"Our mission has been completed, and we have to go back to answer our orders. It is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I will say goodbye." Chu Xiuyan took out the black disk and removed the golden wire mesh and the sky. Everyone in the Inspection Department hurriedly put away the eight-sided golden wire mesh.

The blue-winged bird spread its wings and soared into the clouds, carrying the Inspection Section, Gao Huan and others away.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, this matter is over. I wonder what your next plan is." Seeing everyone leaving, Tang Ning asked.

Xu Qingwan said: "I have decided to leave Jingbei. As for where to go next, I don't know. I want to go to the tomb of the late king to pay my respects."

She used to hate the Xu family to the core and thought about revenge all the time, but today when she saw everyone in the Xu family being executed, her heart was not as happy and excited as she had imagined. It just felt like she had completed a task that she had been thinking about for many years. At this moment, the great revenge had been avenged, and the destruction of the Xu family was all caused by her, but she felt empty in her heart, and she didn't know where to go for a while.

She didn't have much hatred for the descendants of the Xu family, and she had no intention of exterminating them all.

Tangning nodded, looked around, walked to an osmanthus tree, picked off a leaf, and handed it to her: "I heard that every leaf in the world is unique, just like the fingerprints of a person's finger. I don't know if it is or not. This leaf is unique." I give this golden osmanthus leaf to you. If you encounter trouble in the future and are unable to solve it, you can give this leaf to me personally or send someone to see it. I will do my best to help you."

Xu Qingwan held the leaf and said doubtfully: "I met my Taoist friend by chance. Counting this time, it was just a two-way relationship. Why send Ye Xunuo as a gift? If it is because of the Xu family, there is no need for it, and so do I and my Taoist friend. Just take what you need.”

"Fellow Taoist Xu has misunderstood. The affairs of the Xu family are public, so there is no need to discuss grievances. Picking leaves for promises is a private matter. My uncle Xu Wenlin is a benevolent and righteous man who is willing to do good and has a reputation spread throughout the county. When Tang was young, his family was displaced due to changes in his family, and he resorted to begging. In order to make a living, I went to Nansha County to receive the favor of a porridge from my uncle, and now I should repay him. This happened thirty years ago, and I thought my uncle was no longer alive. If I could repay him to his descendants, I think the worldly people would not be able to do anything more than gold. Silver, and immortals and mortals are separated after all, and it happens to be a Taoist friend, so the leaves are regarded as the ears." Tang Ning said.

In addition, there is actually another reason. He admires this woman very much. In order to avenge her family, she has succumbed to being a thief for twenty years and endured the humiliation. There are few people in the world who can do this, at least he cannot.

"It is true that my mother-in-law has passed away a long time ago. I believe that my Taoist friends are people who keep their promises. In this case, I should treasure this leaf. Say goodbye to me and say goodbye." After Xu Qingwan said this, he picked up the magical weapon and flew away.

"Zhao Guang, gather everyone in the Xu Mansion here and tell them that the head of the Xu family has been punished, and those who do not know are not guilty. Let them rest assured that this mansion is still theirs. As for those maids and servants who want to stay, they can stay. After handling this matter, you guys will go over and tell the heads of those families that when you come to Jingbei Mansion in three days, tell them that I will give them a banquet."

…

The news that Xu Qingxian was executed and the Xu family was exterminated quickly spread throughout northern Jing and fell into the ears of interested people. Some were shocked, some were frightened, and some were gloating about the misfortune.

…

Gao Si hurriedly returned to the Gao family's residence. The flying sword fell from the sky and landed directly in the inner courtyard. He walked forward quickly and bumped into a maid. He knocked over the cakes she was bringing and scattered them all over the floor. The maid screamed and hurriedly knelt down to apologize.

"Go away." Gao Si shouted, without even looking at her, he hurried forward and arrived at the door of Gao Yingyuan's practice residence.

The housekeeper at the door hurriedly stopped him: "Young Master, I am practicing and have asked no one to disturb you."

Gao Si directly pushed him away, walked in, went to the first hall, knocked on the door and shouted: "Father, father."

"Come in!" Gao Yingyuan looked at his hurried look with displeasure on his face: "What's the matter? Didn't I tell you not to disturb my practice?"

"The Xu family was wiped out." Gao Si said.

"What?" Gao Yingyuan was shocked, almost not believing his ears. The Xu family, as the second largest family in Jingbei, has existed for more than two to three hundred years. In recent years, its strength has increased greatly, and it seems to be on par with the Gao family. What should I say? The whole family was wiped out, and he hadn't even heard of it before.

"All the monks of the Xu family were killed, including several outside monks. The Xu Mansion was raided and the ground was dug three feet deep. It was a mess."

"What happened? When did it happen? Who did it?" Gao Yingyuan asked quickly

"The specific details are not known yet. At about noon, someone saw a dozen Qianyi Sect monks riding three blue-winged birds to stay above the Xu Mansion. Then the Qianyi Sect monks pulled up a huge golden silk screen to surround the Xu Mansion. Surrounded, Xu Qingxian and several monks from the Xu family were killed on the spot, and they sent troops to kill other monks from the Xu family outside. "
