Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tianyuan Holy City, Taixuanzong Mountain Gate, has thousands of rays of light, thousands of auspicious auras, and dense immortal aura.

The entire mountain gate is shrouded in colorful and brilliant light. There are countless fairy mountains inside, and huge and majestic palaces float in the sky.

It is like the legendary Langya Immortal Island, like the paradise paradise in calligraphy and painting, with a fairy atmosphere.

In front of the majestic cave, a ray of light shot down, and a man's figure appeared. He had a fair complexion, a tall figure, eagle eyes and thin lips. It was Su Yuanhua.

Not long after, a figure flashed out from inside, bowed and saluted: "Uncle Su, you are here."

"Is the master here?"

"I was invited to his residence by Chief Shen half an hour ago."

Su Yuanhua nodded slightly, went straight inside, and came to the main room to wait. About half an hour later, footsteps sounded outside, the stone door opened, and a middle-aged woman with a beautiful face walked in. Su Yuanhua quickly stood up and saluted: "Master."

Nangong Muxue nodded expressionlessly: "When did you come back?"

"My disciple is responsible for escorting a batch of supplies back to the mountain gate. They will arrive today. Master, my disciple heard that Master Ren's uncle is not in good health?"

"He suffered some injuries during the battle of Qinghai and has never recovered. In addition, his longevity is almost at the end. He entered the Reincarnation Tower a few months ago."

"So serious?" Su Yuanhua was slightly surprised. The Reincarnation Tower is a place specially designed by the sect for high-level monks to sit down and die. All monks in the sect who have reached the level of cultivation and above must go to the Reincarnation Tower when their life is over. Carry out military solution.

When a monk is sitting down, the huge spiritual power in his body will disintegrate and return to the world. The Reincarnation Tower can absorb the spiritual power in the monk's body and feed it back to the mountain gate. Therefore, it is stipulated that all high-level monks will enter the Reincarnation Tower when their life span ends. .

Ren Boda entered the Reincarnation Tower, indicating that the spiritual power in his body could no longer be suppressed and began to disintegrate.

"With Uncle Ren leaving, we will probably lose the support of many people in the Foreign Ministry." Su Yuanhua sighed slightly.

Although Ren Boda has resigned as the head of the Foreign Ministry, he has been in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for thousands of years. He has high moral standing and many close friends. He still has strong influence and deep roots in the Foreign Ministry, including many disciples and mentors. The disciples he promoted would probably change their families as he passed away.

"This is not something you have to worry about. How has Junior Brother He performed since he became the steward of the Fourth Army?"

Su Yuanhua pondered: "He is very cautious. He has never taken the initiative to express his position in the army's discussions over the years, just like a passerby. Last year, the position of inspector of the Sixth Column was vacant, and Chen Yuanpeng, the deputy captain of the Sixth Column, approached him, hoping to get his support. "

"I heard that he still had no attitude in the end and didn't say a word during the legion's discussion. In the end, the position was taken by Guan Yun, deputy captain of the 10th Column. There were four candidates at the time, all of whom had higher qualifications than him. I heard that he was Received Inspector Yuan’s full support and rejected several other candidates.”

Nangong Muxue nodded slightly: "This is more like his temperament."

"Master, I think Uncle He Yunlong is a little too cautious. He obviously doesn't want to offend anyone and wants to maintain his position of being on the fence. Many people below have criticized him."

"What criticism?"

"It's nothing more than gossip behind his back. He occupies a position without doing any work and only cares about himself. How can others not have opinions? Moreover, he is very close to Inspector Yuan in private."

"He and Yuan Zi'ang were in the same team back then, and his wife is a daughter of the Yuan family. There is nothing to argue about being close to Yuan Zi'ang."

Su Yuanhua said, "I know this, but as the saying goes, three people make a tiger, and a crowd makes gold. Now many people in the legion are talking about his right and wrong. He has never done anything for our people in the more than ten years since he came to the legion. If you just want to protect Mingzhe and send anyone at will, why bother to fight for this position for him? "

"This position was originally ours. When Master Zhang Xian was in office, he secured a lot of benefits for the disciples below. Now that he occupies the position and does nothing, how can others not comment on it?"

Nangong Muxue glanced at him: "Including you?"

"The disciple knows that the master and Master He have always had a good relationship, so how come they are gossiping with him. However, the disciple secretly feels that it is inappropriate for Master He to act like this. There are not a few people who meet the requirements for this position. It’s not that he has to do it. Now that he’s here, he will do his best for the disciples below.”

"I understand what Junior Brother He is like. Although he is cautious by nature, he will not be vague about major matters. There is a reason why the higher-ups should send him there."

"The key is that many people are dissatisfied with him now. Some people even reported to the senior officials of Qingwuying and accused him of what he did. Disciple feels that if this continues, he may not be able to sit in this position for long. Isn't it good for people? How about talking to him?"

"You just have to do your own thing and don't get involved in these things."

"Yes, my disciple understands. By the way, where is junior sister now?"

"She opened a cave in Taihua Peak. She usually practices there and doesn't come to my place often. Some time ago, she mentioned that she wanted to gain experience in serving in the Fourth Army. What do you think?"

Su Yuanhua smiled slightly: "I didn't expect that after so many years, junior sister is still thinking about her husband. My disciple is about to report to you that I met Tang Ning last time. Not only does he have low qualifications, but he also has low qualifications. His appearance is unremarkable, and although he is a little smart, he has no great plans or talents. The only thing worthy of praise is that he is sensible and aware of current affairs. "

Nangong Muxue nodded slightly: "Where is he now? Is he still in Yuanxian County?"

Su Yuanhua said: "Currently, he is on duty below Xuantang City, Yuanxian County, Sixth Regiment of the First Column. I inquired about it and it was Fang Dasheng who took the initiative to transfer him there. Uncle Bai once told me that when he joined During the Qingzhou Xuanmen Alliance, my junior sister came to him and asked him to take care of this son."

"It just so happened that the ship that responded to the evacuation of Xingang Xuanmen was the regiment commanded by Fang Dasheng in the Qingzhou Allied Forces, so we knew about his relationship with his junior sister."

"As far as I know, Fang Dasheng takes good care of him. He probably wants to use him to connect with you, or simply wants to improve his connections so that he can be put to use one day."

Nangong Muxue said: "Did he come to you on his own initiative, or did you go to find him?"

Su Yuanhua said: "It was my disciple who took the initiative to find him. On the birthday of Master He Yunlong, Fang Dasheng brought him over. The disciple talked with him for a while and asked him to stay in Xuantang City peacefully and not to disturb his junior sister. Xiuwei, he also agreed, and we had a good discussion.”

Nangong Muxue's face was expressionless: "Then let him go! But if Ruhan knows about this, it's time to bear a grudge against you."

Su Yuanhua smiled faintly: "Sooner or later, she will understand that the love between men and women is not enough. The reason why my disciple did this is for her own good. However, my disciple really can't understand. With her talents and qualifications, if she is matched with a talented person, It’s just a man, how could he be so obsessed with such a pig-like person?”

"You were born in the sect and grew up in the sect, so naturally you don't understand this kind of emotion of sharing weal and woe."

"In this world, even the kindness of nurturing can be repaid with money, let alone suffering. In the final analysis, it is still a human problem."

………………

In the spacious and bright room, a group of men gathered together and sat in front of the stone table, some expressionless, some frowning in thought, or some smiling.

Tangning looked at the black stone tablet in her hand and threw down a few chips: "Thirty thousand."

The burly man opposite thought for a moment, then threw down three chips and turned over the two stone cards in his hand: "I have nine, seven pairs."

Tangning smiled slightly and turned over the stone card in her hand, showing four flowers.

After saying that, he took away all the chips on the stone table.

"Junior brother Tang, you have good luck today!" Another man with a fair face said with a smile.

Tang Ning smiled and said nothing, then threw a chip in. The stone tablets were cleaned again, and after a slight sound, they were distributed to everyone.

This is a small private gambling room in the Tianniu Mountains, only for the entertainment of the monks of the alliance. All the people who come here are disciples of the alliance. The owner behind the scenes is none other than Hao Yuantao, the nephew of the alliance inspector Hao Jianping, who is now the direct manager of the brigade. job.

Even though this is a small gambling house, it has a lot of income. I heard that the monthly income is no less than ten million.

Although the number of members in the alliance is small, each one is well-off. After all, the sect's salary is there.

Just at the gambling table of Jindan monks, it is common to win or lose millions of spirit stones in a gambling game, let alone the gambling table of Nascent Soul monks. The casino charges half of the profit, and it will be settled automatically when the chips are exchanged. .

There are a total of ten gambling tables in the whole gambling house, and each gambling table has different chips. For example, the bottom bet of the one where Tangning is sitting is one thousand spiritual stones, and the top bet is fifty thousand spiritual stones.

As long as the guests come here, regardless of whether they can go to the gambling table or not, they will have good wine and food at their disposal.

Huajiancui is more popular in the league. This kind of game requires six people to a table. Usually, people come directly after making an appointment and specify a time when the game will end, so as to avoid someone getting jealous and refusing to leave.

Since they are all monks in the team, they know each other well and understand each other. Even if they lose, it doesn't matter. They can borrow spiritual stones from the gambling house at any time and repay the loan within one year.

Because the salary is paid out once a year, if the salary is still not paid, a certain interest rate will be charged. As long as the person is still there, there is no fear that you will not pay it back.

What's more, in a team, everyone who looks up or down is a respectable person, so no one will maliciously drag him down.

When Tang Ning had nothing to do, he would occasionally meet up to play a game with a few of his senior brothers from the team directly under him. For him, although this was not a big gamble, it was definitely not for entertainment.

After all, his salary is only two million spirit stones a year, and it is normal to win or lose hundreds of thousands of spirit stones in such a bet.

The gambling game ended around midnight. Tangning exchanged the spirit stones in the attic and left the gambling shop. Her luck was really good today. In just one night, she won nearly 200,000 spirit stones.

This made him a little excited. If he could win more than ten or two hundred thousand spirit stones every day, it would be more than millions in a month. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart, and he wished he could immediately invite a few people to have another round.
