Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning escaped all the way and returned to the cave. She saw a figure standing outside the thick fog. When he escaped from the light, the man turned around with a smile on his face: "Junior brother Tang, long time no see."

"Senior Brother Xu, oh, no, this disciple pays homage to Uncle Xu." Tang Ning bowed and saluted. The person in front of her was none other than Fang Da's disciple Xu Mengyuan. Now his body was exuding spiritual power fluctuations at the level of a Nascent Soul monk. It was obvious that he was pregnant It worked.

When Xu Mengyuan went into retreat for the purpose of conceiving a baby, he didn't expect it to be successful so quickly. It was beyond Tang Ning's expectation, so she was a little surprised when she saw him. It had only been thirty years since he had been in retreat.

For the long life of Yuanying monk, thirty years is really not worth mentioning.

From the golden elixir to the Nascent Soul is a qualitative leap. Many monks in the world have stopped at this level. Xu Mengyuan only broke through in seclusion for thirty years. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as rapid progress.

Xu Mengyuan smiled and said: "You don't have to be so polite, Junior Brother Tang, we have known each other for a long time, and there are no outsiders here, so don't meet outsiders."

"Senior Brother Xu, you've been waiting for a long time! I'm really sorry, I have something to do and have been out for a while."

"It doesn't matter, I just arrived."

"Please come in quickly." The two of them entered the cave and sat opposite each other. Tang Ning took out a jade pot in his hand and filled it with wine: "My mansion is too small to entertain. I feel wronged by Senior Brother Xu. I don't know who Senior Brother Xu is." When did the baby come out of seclusion, I didn’t hear any news.”

"Three years ago, I successfully cultivated to the great perfection of alchemy and then left seclusion. Since then, I have been cultivating a technique in the cave. Two years ago, I made up my mind to attack the Nascent Soul realm. I succeeded by luck, and later returned to the cave. I went to Donglai County and came back recently. I have nothing to do today, so I came here to pay a visit to Junior Brother Tang."

Tang Ning knew that he didn't come here for no reason. He must have other important things: "I'm very ashamed that I didn't know about such a big thing as Senior Brother Xu's pregnancy. If I had known about it earlier, I should have gone to your mansion to congratulate you, but I actually allowed Senior Brother Xu to demean him." You are welcome to visit me."

"Not to mention you, not many people in the entire regiment know about this. Besides, looking at the alliance, the birth of a disciple is not a big deal. It would be strange if everyone knew about it."

"Senior Brother Xu is talking about a trip to Donglai County and back. I don't know why?" Tang Ning asked proactively.

He was a little worried that Xu Mengyuan's visit might be related to this. His last trip to Donglai City left a deep impression on him. Su Yuanhua's conversation still made him grit his teeth when he thought about it.

Could it be that Xu Mengyuan's visit this time has something to do with it?

If that's the case, it's definitely not a good thing.

Xu Mengyuan smiled: "To be honest, I went to Donglai County this time for marriage. Master has already made an appointment for me, and he will go to the other party's house to propose marriage after I have a baby. Therefore, A quick trip."

After hearing this, Tang Ning breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that Su Yuanhua was causing trouble behind his back. If Nangong Muxue's true attitude towards him was exposed, then this tiger skin would never be used. If he wanted to It is basically impossible to use his name to gain benefits.

Since it was Fang Dasheng's choice for Xu Mengyuan's marriage, there was no need to think about it. It must be a marriage, and the other party must be someone with some background.

"I don't know which family the girl is from? It must be not easy to be so lucky to be chosen by Master Fang's uncle!"

Xu Mengyuan smiled and said: "His name is Xiang Baozhu, and his father died early. The family teacher and his uncle worked in a department in the early years, and they had a good relationship. Later, they decided to get married. This time, I went to propose marriage."

"Xiang Baozhu, could it be that he belongs to the Xiang family in Beihai?"

Xu Mengyuan smiled and nodded.

The Xiang clan is the dominant one in Beihai County, and its status in Beihai County is equivalent to that of the Liu clan in Donglai County.

Xiang Ji, the great ancestor of the Xiang family, was born with magical powers. He was able to lift a cauldron since he was a child. When he grew up, he could dominate mountains and rivers, and he had the body of a legendary overlord.

At that time, there were many heroes in the world, but Xiang Ji and Liu Ji, the great ancestor of the Liu family, were the most famous. The relationship between the two of them, both enemies and friends, was a good story in the world and has been passed down for thousands of years.

Xiang Ji had a high self-esteem, was aloof and arrogant, had the spirit of a scholar-bureaucrat, was victorious in every battle, had countless capable monks, and was never defeated in his life. He often despised Liu Ji's behavior in the market, but was eventually defeated by Liu Ji.

The two fought for three days and three nights in Mangdang Mountain. Xiang Ji was defeated and fled. Unable to bear the shame, he returned to the Xiang clan and never made a move for the rest of his life until he passed away at the end of his life.

There are also rumors that after Xiang Ji was defeated and fled, he went to Wujiang River and committed suicide because of his shame.

"Then congratulations to Senior Brother Xu, you will soon become Xiang's son-in-law."

"Not so soon. Her uncle's intention is to wait for her to have a baby before getting engaged. This was also the agreement between the two parties. This time she came to Donglai City just to meet in person, propose marriage, and express her attitude."

"Is this woman Xiang Baozhu also a disciple of our sect?"

"She serves in the Seventh Column of our headquarters, and is in the late stage of Jin Dan."

"I see. When Senior Brother Xu gets married, I'm going to buy two glasses of wedding wine. I think Senior Brother Xu won't mind!"

"It's easy to say, if this day comes, I will definitely invite Junior Brother Tang to a banquet and get drunk before resting." Xu Mengyuan smiled and said: "By the way, I went to Donglai City with Master this time and also found out some news. Does Junior Brother Tang know about it? "

After hearing what he said, Tang Ning's expression did not change, but she knew in her heart that it was time to get down to the topic, and the news he mentioned must be related to her: "I have been in this city for a long time and have never been outside. How can I know the news about Donglai County? , I don’t know what Senior Brother Xu said?”

"Has Junior Brother Tang heard about the transfer of Uncle Bai from the Imperial Ministry of Yuanyi Palace to the Fourth Army Corps?"

"Senior Brother Xu is talking about Master Bai Jintang's uncle. When was he transferred to the Fourth Army Corps? When did this happen?" Tang Ning was shocked.

At the time of the Qinghai War, Bai Jintang was already in the middle stage of becoming a god. Although he served as the captain of the Qingzhou Allied Forces at that time, he was still a disciple of the Foreign Imperial Department and was directly transferred from the sect.

Unexpectedly, he was now transferred to the Fourth Army Corps.

After hearing the news, Tang Ning felt a mixture of joy and sorrow. She was happy that Bai Jintang had always taken good care of her, and his transfer to the Fourth Army might be a great help to her future development. She was worried that Nangong Muxue would not affect his influence on her. Attitude.

Logically speaking, Su Yuanhua's attitude represents the attitude of the entire faction led by Nangong Muxue. As Nangong Muxue's junior brother, Bai Jintang must follow her lead.

If Nangong Muxue had discussed this matter with him, it would undoubtedly affect his attitude towards him.

After all, there is no direct relationship between him and himself. The central bridge between the two lies with Nangong Muxue.

The reason why he took care of him was entirely for Nangong Muxue's sake. If the bridge collapsed, the connection between the two would naturally be cut off.

Xu Mengyuan said: "It must have been more than ten years! This time my master and I went to Donglai City to visit him, and he even mentioned you to us."

"Speaking of me? I don't know what Uncle Bai said?"

"He asked about your current situation and learned that you were doing quite well here. He said that he would come and see you if he had the opportunity in the future."

"Oh? Uncle Bai Master really said that, will you come to this city to visit me if you have the opportunity?"

"Of course, couldn't I still lie to you with lies? I was beside the master at that time and listened to their conversation with my own ears."

Tang Ning's mind was spinning with thoughts. So, Nangong Muxue didn't express her attitude to him, or what Su Yuanhua said was just his personal meaning, not Nangong Muxue's instruction.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Bai Jintang's words were just polite words.

"Junior Brother Tang, what's wrong?" Xu Mengyuan asked when he saw his eyes flashing slightly and remaining silent.

"Oh! It's nothing. I was just wondering when my wife would have the opportunity to be transferred from Shanmen to the Fourth Army." Tangning said casually.

"There is always a chance. Since Inspector Nangong has settled the relationship for you and transferred you to our sect, I don't think he will bear to let you and your wife be separated for many years. Maybe Mrs. Tianzun will suddenly come to you."

"I would like to lend my brother Xu some good words!" Tang Ning smiled bitterly inwardly. Nangong Muxue might wish she had died early, so how could she reunite the two of them.

"By the way, I heard a piece of news in Donglai County. Uncle Bai may be transferred to Yuanxian County soon."

"Transferred to Yuanxian County? Is the news reliable?"

"Nine times out of ten!" Xu Mengyuan smiled slightly: "Actually, he is directly under the Fourth Army and is just going through the motions."

"What do you mean by this? I hope Senior Brother Xu will make it clear."

"I am only talking to Junior Brother Tang about this. Do you know why Uncle Bai was transferred from Shanmen to our Fourth Army?"

Tang Ning said: "This... the change of disciple positions should be a normal transfer! Except for a few disciples like me who joined the sect halfway, weren't the others transferred from the sect? Wasn't Senior Brother Xu also in the Mountain Gate Formation back then? Did Qi Ke stay for more than two hundred years before being transferred to the headquarters?"

Xu Mengyuan smiled and said: "Junior brother Tang still doesn't know enough about our sect's personnel! If the low-level disciples in the sect, such as Jindan and Yuanying, are transferred out of the sect, it is an ordinary job transfer, but for those with higher levels of transformation, it is generally not It will be easy to transfer, because it involves relatively complicated personnel changes. "

"If a monk in the Transformation Stage is placed in the city below, he will belong to one of the princes. If you transfer him away from the sect, you have to arrange a position for him! You can't just randomly assign a small team to do some chores like you do with the Jindan and Nascent Soul monks."

"The problem is, whether it is Qingwu Camp or Yanwu Camp, from the commander of the regiment to the commander of the regiment, they are basically a carrot and a pit. Every position is occupied and cared about, so it is difficult to arrange the positions. "

"Generally, there are only two possibilities for personnel transfers for monks of this level. The first is to be punished and assigned, and the second is to be promoted."

Tang Ning nodded slowly: "So does Uncle Bai belong to the former or the latter?"

Xu Mengyuan smiled slightly: "Junior Brother Tang, why should I ask questions knowingly? With the influence of Inspector Nangong in the Fourth Army, Senior Uncle Bai has been transferred here, so he will naturally be promoted."

"If nothing else, the position of deputy captain directly under the column is already in Master Bai's pocket. In fact, the reason why Master Bai was transferred from Shanmen to the Fourth Army is to fight for this position."
