Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Xiao Tingdao: "What Taoist Fellow Tang said is not true. I never wanted to take Fellow Daoist Xin away by force. Instead, Xuanye Sect wanted to keep him forcibly. Now that Fellow Daoist Xin is willing to stay and cooperate with Xuanye Sect's investigation, I will naturally not interfere more."

Xin Zhilei bowed to him and said: "Senior's kindness will be unforgettable by this junior. If there is a chance in the future, I should tie a grass ring to repay the great kindness."

"Fellow Daoist Xin, are you willing to join our headquarters?"

Xin Zhilei was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Junior is willing."

"All fellow Taoists are witnesses. Fellow Taoist Xin has officially applied to me to join our headquarters. From now on, she is a reserve investigator of our headquarters." Xiao Ting looked around and his eyes fell on Chen Jin: "Fellow Daoist Chen, if she is assisting your sect, If something unexpected happens during the investigation of the case, this department will never give up and will seek justice from Guizong and others before bidding farewell."

"No." Chen Jin replied coldly.

Xiao Ting led the Nether Sea monks and turned around and left.

"Take Fellow Daoist Xin down to rest and take good care of him."

"Yes." Two Xuanye Sect disciples responded and took Xin Zhilei away from the pagoda.

"I made you laugh. I originally invited you to come here for a banquet and celebration today, but I made you watch such a disturbing show. Chen feels deeply guilty." Chen Jin forced a smile.

Huang Xuandao of Jingyue Sect: "Master Chen does not need to apologize. This was all carefully planned by Xiao Ting. He specifically chose the day of Taoist friend's thousandth birthday to deliberately embarrass your sect in the name of celebration. This person's thoughts The viciousness is obvious.”

"Yes! There is something that cannot be resolved privately. If you insist on making trouble at this time, isn't this deliberately looking for trouble?"

"Let me tell you, let's not worry about him. We should eat and drink when we should. Just pretend that he has never been here."

"What I'm saying is, don't let him ruin a good birthday."

Several people present spoke one by one.

"The top three at each banquet table have been sorted out! Invite them to come here." Chen Jin waved his hand, and a Xuanye Sect disciple next to him took the order and left.

The birthday banquet was carried out as usual, with the gongs and drums still noisy and lively. Disciples from all forces began to compete against each other. There were many exciting contests during the period. Both sides went back and forth, which attracted everyone's applause.

Chen Jin also frequently gave gifts. No one mentioned Xiao Ting's incident again, and the birthday banquet came to an end in a festive atmosphere.

………

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year passed by in the blink of an eye. Jiang Xinquan left Jingyuanting after officially resigning in June. Since then, the affairs of Team 5 have all fallen to Tang Ning alone.

It was the end of another year, and everyone gathered together in the meeting hall of Pingling Mountain Ling Mine. On the main seat, Tang Ning was talking non-stop about various matters related to the handover of supplies to the brigade.

"From now on, all the cultivation resources under our team will begin to be cleared and sealed. Strictly, we will immediately lead people to check the number of spiritual stones in the storage room and seal them."

"Cheng Qian, submit the files on all mining matters."

"Yang Qiushui, prepare detailed reports of all expenses and income."

"Huang Qiansheng, retrieve all surveillance images from the backstage control room."

"Xu Fan, arrange the personnel dispatch."

"There are also Fengyan Mountain and Xuangan Valley. We are counting this year's harvest and preparing to pick elixirs."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The discussion lasted for more than an hour and everyone left.

At night, when Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged with eyes closed and practicing Qi, the storage bag at his waist suddenly trembled. He opened his eyes, took out the formation plate, pointed it at it, and took the talisman into his hand.

Outside the cave, a burly man stood. He was Huang Qiansheng, the disciple in charge of guarding the spiritual mine. Seeing the thick fog clearing a passage, his figure flashed and entered the inner room. He went straight to the main room and bowed. A salute: "Uncle Tang."

"You're here, sit down!"

"Thank you, Uncle Master." Huang Ganshen sat down as he was told, flipped his hands over and took out a stack of files: "This is all the entry and exit information of the Ling Mine this year, as well as the images of the illuminated area of ​​​​the backstage heaven and earth, have all been extracted, please. Check it out.”

Tangning took the file and put it beside her without even looking at it: "You must have other things to do when you are here today!"

"Yes, my uncle has a keen eye, and I have something to ask for." Huang Qiansheng held up a storage bag with both hands: "Uncle, regarding our team's quota for the Spirit Gathering Formation next year, according to regulations, our team should get a quota next year. An opportunity to recommend a place in the third-level mid-level spirit gathering array, which is suitable for the disciple's cultivation level. I wonder if the disciple has this opportunity? "

Tangning glanced at him and asked, "How many years have you been with our team?"

"Uncle Master, my disciple is Dao Ding Nianli's mountain sect. He was directly assigned to the main team. It has been sixty-five years ago."

"Sixty-five years is not a short period of time. So, you have been working under Senior Brother Jiang since the beginning of our team."

"yes."

"How many times have you been admitted to the Spirit Gathering Formation since you came to this team?"

"I'm very ashamed. This disciple has only been recommended twice in all these years."

"Who in this team has the most places in the Spirit Gathering Array?"

"When Senior Uncle Jiang was in office, the most important people were Senior Sister Yang Qiushui and Senior Brother Yan Ming. They received the most places in the Spirit Gathering Formation, followed by Senior Brother Wei Xian." Huang Qiansheng responded, and he kept bowing while the two were talking. The posture of the body, both sides holding storage bags, looked very respectful.

Tangning nodded and took the storage bag from his hand: "Then I'll give you the spot in the Spirit Gathering Array this time!"

"Thank you, uncle." Huang Qiansheng looked happy and said hurriedly.

"Next year, when you go to practice in the Alliance Spirit Gathering Formation, who will handle the affairs of the Guard Hall?"

"Uncle, don't worry. The disciples will definitely make the arrangements. The disciples of Pingling Mountain's array will be handed over to Junior Brother Xu Fan for safekeeping. As for the affairs of the Guard Hall, the disciples will hand it over to Yuan Xian. He has been in the team for many years and is also a disciple. His right-hand man is very familiar with the responsibilities of the security point and will not make any mistakes. "

"Just make arrangements."

"Uncle Master, do you need a few people to take care of this cave?"

"Forget it, I'm used to being alone, but I'm not used to being around many people. Let's do this! Find someone with a clean background to clean the court and do errands."

"Yes, disciple, make arrangements immediately."

The two chatted for a while, and Huang Qiansheng left.

…………

Fengyan Mountain, in the southeast direction, a Yuanling ship arrived and stopped in front of Nuo Da's blue light curtain. The flag fluttering on the bow of the ship was engraved with "Taixuanzong Qingwuying Fourth Legion, First Column, Fifth Regiment" The words "First Brigade, Fifth Squadron" are written in one line, and the three characters "Yuanlian Hao" are engraved on the stern flag.

A figure flashed out from above, turned his hand, and handed the talisman inside.

Soon, the light curtain melted away, and a group of people filed out. The two leaders were dressed in Taixuan Sect costumes. They were Wei Xian and Chang Wei, the two disciples of the fifth team stationed on the mountain.

The Yuanling boat slowly sailed into the inner room. In the cabin, Wei Xian and Chang Wei came to a room, bowed to Tang Ning who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, and said in unison: "Disciple pays homage to Master."

"Everything is ready! How much production will the herb garden produce this year?"

Chang Wei replied: "My disciple has made a general inspection with Senior Brother Wei before. The purple smoke fruits and poppies in the herb garden are growing normally and are mature. The output should not be much different from previous years. The difference is only two to three hundred pearls at most." , everything is ready in this department, just waiting for Uncle Master to come and supervise the picking."

"Okay." Tang Ning nodded and said, "This is the first material handover to complete the sect's mission since I took office. There can't be any mistakes, especially after Senior Brother Jiang left office. If something goes wrong in the first year, it will inevitably cause trouble. It’s a joke, Feng Yanshan’s affairs, I hope you can perform your duties as usual.”

Wei Xian responded: "Uncle, please be at ease. The two of us will do our best to share the worries for uncle and our team."

"After completing the handover of materials this time, I will announce a new financial allocation plan at the end of the year. I have been thinking about this for a while. According to the financial allocation plan I have formulated, your income will be greatly affected. promote."

After hearing this, the two looked at each other and said, "Thank you, uncle."

"As long as you work hard, I can guarantee that I will never treat you badly."

"yes."

Before Tang Ning could speak, Huang Qiansheng came in from the outside and saluted, "Uncle, we have arrived at the herb garden."

"Let's go!" Tangning stood up and walked out, followed by several people, and arrived on the deck of the Yuanling Ship. In front of her was a herb garden with a radius of fifty miles, and the outside was shrouded in a light curtain.

Wei Xian turned his hand, took out the formation disk, and clicked on it a few times. The light curtain immediately melted to create a gap, and the Yuanling Ship entered the inner room.

Huge stone pillars stand inside, with characters flowing on them, emitting a faint light.

Several feet-long golden eyeballs floated in mid-air, emitting dazzling light that swept across the Yuanling Ship coming in from the outside.

Looking around, one can see a field of lush fruit trees stretching for dozens of miles, with many fragrant purple fruits hanging under each fruit tree.

At the end of the lush fruit trees, there is a sea of ​​white poppy flowers, which also stretches for dozens of miles. The green fruit trees and white flowers complement each other like two distinct rivers.

"Let's pick!" Tang Ning waved her hand, and behind her, Wei Xian, Chang Wei, and Huang Qiansheng responded, each leading a group of monks to the orchard below.

More than twenty monks were like locusts, and they finished picking the fruit trees in an area in less than half an hour.

Tang Ning was supervising their picking from above. With his current spiritual power, if he used it with all his strength, no disturbance within a radius of ten miles would be able to escape his control, let alone every move of the monks.

Under his close surveillance, no one dared to make any small moves secretly, and could only hand over all the purple smoke fruits picked to the Yuanling ship.

In just half a day, the entire herb garden was wiped out of all its purple berries and poppies.

Dozens of stone boxes were placed on Xuanyuan's ship. Inside, purple smoke fruits and poppies were loaded in wooden boxes and placed neatly.

After inspection, a total of 12,125 medicinal herbs were packed into more than ten stone boxes.

Tang Ning ordered people to put seals on each stone box, and then checked the images left by the area illuminated by the Eye of Heaven and Earth in the herb garden to make sure that no one was secretly picking elixirs on weekdays. In the end, the Yuanling Ship carried more than ten boxes of purple smoke fruits. He and Poppy drove away from Fengyan Mountain.

(A few days ago, a book friend asked me about the timeline. There was a bug. It was indeed my mistake. It has been changed.)

(I am very grateful to this book friend for asking the question, and I am very happy that this book has such a serious reading friend.)
