Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The sun was bright and the sky was blue. In front of the huge light curtain, two rays of light fell down, revealing the figures of two people, Tang Ning and Shi Kuan.

"Junior brother Tang, this is the mountain gate of Baoyu Sect in our pavilion." Shi Kuan turned his hand and handed the talisman inside.

"The cultivation resources of this pavilion are poor. There are only two high-grade spiritual mines. One is occupied by the Jiang family, and the other is occupied by the Mirror Moon Sect. There are only three middle-grade spiritual mines and two third-grade middle-grade spiritual mines that are truly under the jurisdiction of the Baoyu Sect. Taste the spirit pulse.”

"The Baoyu Sect is poor in resources. There are only four Nascent Soul cultivators in each sect, and its leader is only in the middle Nascent Soul cultivation level. It is also one of the bottom sects among the many sects in Xuantang City."

The two of them waited for about half an hour, and the light curtain in front of them melted into a corner. An old man with white beard and hair, dressed in Baoyu Sect clothes, suddenly appeared in front of him, followed by two disciples.

The old man bowed his head and saluted and said: "Fellow Taoist Shi is here to welcome me, but I am sorry to hear you come from afar."

"Fellow Daoist Yan, please don't take the liberty of disturbing me."

"I don't know who this fellow Taoist is?" The old man turned to Tang Ning.

"He is Junior Brother Tang Ning, a direct disciple of our sect's alliance."

"Nice to meet you."

The three of them exchanged a few pleasantries, entered the inner room, came to the main hall, and sat down separately.

The old man smiled and said: "The two Taoist friends came to our sect, I think they must have something important to do."

Shi Kuan said: "To be honest, I am harassing your sect this time because I have something to ask for. I hope your sect can help me."

"Fellow Daoist Shi, please tell me. If we can do it, our sect will do our best."

"That's it. Unfortunately, a disciple of our team disappeared and was killed a few days ago. His body was not found. Therefore, our team sent Junior Brother Tang Ning to investigate. However, after several days of visits and verification, we still had no clue, so we came to your sect to see Let’s see if we can find any valuable clues.”

The old man frowned slightly: "Do you mean, fellow Taoist Tang, that the missing and murdered disciples of your sect are related to our sect?"

Tang Ning said: "I have absolutely no intention of doing this. I specially invited Senior Brother Shi to visit your sect this time to ask for your help."

"I wonder how our sect can help fellow Taoists?"

Tang Ning said: "Master Yan, please listen to me tell you the whole story. The murdered disciple Wang Suquan left the Langya Mountain Formation for the last time on July 26th. According to his dictation, he went to Tingcheng to buy cultivation elixirs. "

"After many days of investigation, I found that there is no record of him purchasing elixirs in Shangmingting City, nor is there any record of him going out on a merchant ship."

"Therefore, I suspect that he was murdered in the territory under our jurisdiction. Our pavilion has a radius of 100,000 miles. It is not big or small. If we try to find clues with our limited manpower, it will undoubtedly be like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"And your sect is in this pavilion, and its influence is beyond what we can match. I know that your sect has corresponding intelligence stations throughout this pavilion. I wonder if you can use your sect's intelligence network to get some clues for us?" If it works, I will give you a big thank you.”

The old man smiled and said: "Two fellow Taoists have come to our sect in person, can I still say no?"

"Thank you very much, Master Yan."

"Come here." The old man shouted. As soon as he finished speaking, a man came in from the outside and bowed and saluted: "What are your orders, Master?"

"Go and summon Wang Yan, the head of the Intelligence Department."

"Yes." The man responded and left.

"Fellow Taoist Tang, our sect is very weak. Although we have been in this pavilion for many years, we are actually unable to control many things. Don't be surprised if we fail to help you."

"How dare you? I am extremely grateful that your sect can help me."

"Fellow Daoist Shi, it's rare for you two to come to our sect, and we haven't seen each other for a long time. If there is nothing important, how about taking a rest here for a day and allowing our sect to show our friendship as landlords?"

Shi Kuan said: "How dare you disobey Master Yan's words? It is widely rumored that Fellow Daoist Yan intends to step down as Master. Is this true?"

The old man said: "I am getting old and my life is short. I don't have so much energy to deal with the affairs of the sect. It is better to prepare early! Continuing to occupy this position will be detrimental to both public and private interests."

"While we can still support him now, we can support the new headmaster's talents and smooth the transition from old to new, which can also stabilize people's hearts. If we really want to abdicate on the day of death, we don't know what trouble will happen!"

"By the way, on the day when the new headmaster takes office, our sect plans to hold a celebration banquet, and we will invite all our fellow Taoists at that time. Fellow Taoist Master Shi will be honored!"

"sure."

While the two were talking, a burly man came in from the outside and bowed and saluted: "Disciple pays homage to the master."

"These two are fellow Taoists of Taixuan Sect. They need to use the sect's intelligence network to find some clues. You must help them with all your strength."

"yes."

"Fellow Daoist Tang, if you need anything, just ask me!"

"Thank you, Master Yan." Tang Ning said, "Fellow Daoist Wang, I need to use the intelligence stations set up by your sect in various places in this pavilion to find some clues about our disciple Wang Suquan."

"Yes, please give me your instructions, senior."

"Please order all intelligence stations to collect unknown battles that occurred in various jurisdictions from July 26th to August 15th, including the remnants of the battles."

"Wang Suquan, the disciple who was killed in our headquarters, was a middle-stage Jindan monk. If he had fought with the enemy before he was killed, the scale of the remnants left behind must be quite large, and it should be easy to find."

"In addition, Wang Suquan went out on May 9th and did not return until May 22nd. During this period, only the purchase of elixirs at the Xianyuan Shop on May 11th can be traced. From May 11th to May 2nd, There was no trace during the period of twelve.”

"I suspect that his murder is related to his behavior during this period. Please order various intelligence stations to see if they can find his whereabouts during this period."

"If anyone provides valid information, I am willing to reward him with 200,000 spirit stones." After Tangning said this, she turned her hand over and handed him a file: "This is my request including Wang Suquan's portrait. Please make a rubbing." Several copies will be sent to various intelligence stations in Guizong for a period of one month. If any clues can be found, Tang will be grateful. "

"Junior understands, I will send it to all intelligence stations immediately." The man took the file and said.

"You go first!" The old man waved his hand.

"Wait a minute. If your sect has any clues, please go to Langya Mountain and let us know."

"Okay." The man turned and left.

"It's over here. Two fellow Taoists, please come and sit down in the humble house." The old man stood up and said.

The three of them left the hall together, and Tang Ning said, "Master Yan, I'm really sorry. Tang has an important responsibility and cannot stay too long. We need to seize the time to check some clues."

"Okay then! Next time you come to this pavilion, fellow Taoist Tang, please condescend to move in so that I can have the opportunity to fulfill my duty as a landlord."

"good."

"Send fellow Taoist Tang out of the mountain for me."

"Yes." The two disciples in front of the hall responded.

"Farewell." Tangning jumped up and left the Baoyu Sect. She arrived at Pingshan Gambling House and found the person in charge of the gambling house. She asked about many details, visited the surrounding shops, and then came to Chunjiang Pavilion. , checked carefully.

From the remote mountain peak, a ray of light shot out from the distance, and Zhuang Xian's figure appeared. He bowed and saluted: "Disciple pays homage to Master."

"How's it going? Do you have any clues?" Tangning sat cross-legged and motionless.

"Disciples have been running around for several days and have found out the whereabouts of Wu Yuan Yuan and Sun Xin."

"Wu Yuyuan left Tianxing Mountain on the fifth day of August, arrived in Tingcheng on the sixth day of August, purchased six bottles of Yuanyang Pill at the Xianyuan Store, and returned to his headquarters on the seventh day of August. There is a transaction file from the Xianyuan Store as evidence."

"Sun Xin left Tianxing Mountain on August 17th, arrived at Huayue Peak on the evening of August 17th, and played in the gambling house and loft for two days. He returned to his headquarters on August 20th, and there were witnesses."

"Neither of them had the time and motive to commit the crime."

Tang Ning nodded without saying anything. Jin Yuan on the side frowned and said, "Uncle Tang, we don't have any clues at hand right now. I think this case may not be clear for a while, so why not go back and recover first?"

"What do you think?" Tang Ning looked at Zhuang Xian.

"Disciple believes that Senior Brother Jin's words are reasonable. So far, we have investigated everything that should be investigated, and there are no valuable clues at all. There is no clue at all about this case so far. We don't even know where he died. Like this Running around like a headless fly is not an option. It is better to go back and report back to the headquarters truthfully."

Tangning said thoughtfully, "I've waited less than ten days since I got out. It's too early to conclude the case so quickly. Besides, if the task is not completed, it means the trip was in vain. I think you won't be willing to accept it either!"

"For the former, senior brother Shi Kuan and I have already visited the local Xuanmen Baoyu Sect. They promised to use intelligence stations in various places to collect information clues about Wang Suquan for us."

"In my opinion, it is better to wait for the reply from Baoyu Sect first. If there are clues, we will check and verify. If there are no clues, it will not be too late to return to the headquarters."

"Of course, if you must go back, you can go back and recover on your own first."

"Disciple is just making a suggestion. Uncle Tang will naturally make the decision on how to make the decision. We will act in accordance with Uncle Tang's instructions." Jin Yuan said, and Zhuang Xian also spoke in agreement.

"In that case, let's go back to Langya Mountain and wait for news from the Baoyu Sect!"

"Yes." Several people jumped up and returned to the Langya Mountains.
