Chronicles of Celestial Origins

In the dark room of the Guard Hall, the atmosphere was solemn, the sparrows were silent, and a pindrop could be heard, which was very depressing.

Tang Ning sat on the stone bench, expressionless as she watched the scenes flash by on the stone wall. There were people standing behind her, all staring at the scenes on the wall, not daring to breathe.

After an unknown amount of time, the picture on the stone wall suddenly disappeared, and the room fell into darkness.

Tangning said slowly: "Have all the images recorded by the Eye of Heaven and Earth been played?"

"Yes." A man next to him replied: "From the third day of December to today, all the recorded images in the area illuminated by the Eye of Heaven and Earth in the storage room have been displayed."

"You have all seen that since the materials were transported into the storage room on the third day of December, no one has entered the palace. However, two hundred and fifty Pearl Purple Smoke Fruits have been transferred. Who can tell me, What's going on?" Tang Ning glanced at everyone, but no one answered. They all lowered their heads and remained silent.

"Huang Qian, you were fully involved in the process of picking and transporting the elixir. Can you tell me which link caused the problem?"

When Huang Qian heard this, his throat rolled, and he hesitated: "Disciple, I believe that since the elixir was not transferred in the palace of the storage room, it must have been tampered with during the picking and transportation process. "

"However, during the picking process, both the master and the disciples supervised the whole process. Two hundred and fifty bead elixirs are not a small amount. It is absolutely impossible for the master to transfer the package without anyone knowing, so it can only be escorted. Things done along the way.”

"During the day when the Yuanling Ship departed from Fengyan Mountain and returned to Pingling Mountain, the master practiced in the room in the cabin, and the disciple also returned to the room in the cabin for a while. Since the stone wall is made of Jueshen Stone, it is I can’t detect any movement outside with my spiritual sense, so this should be the only chance to change the contract.”

"However, two hundred and fifty herbs is not a small number. With so many people on the deck, it will definitely attract attention if they open a heavy stone box and steal so many herbs."

"So the only possibility is that someone secretly changed the elixir during the process of loading it into the stone box to check the quantity."

"At that time, Uncle Master, his disciples and some monks went to check the images left behind by the Eye of Heaven and Earth in Fengyan Mountain Herb Garden. If someone steals the prepared wooden box and replaces the pillars at this time, it may not be detected."

After Huang Qiansheng finished speaking, there was silence in the room. After a long silence, Tang Ning said coldly: "Senior Brother Jiang has never had anything like this happen in all his years in office. Why did this incident happen just one year after I took office?"

"Someone is trying to deceive me. I'm new here. I'm so talkative. Let's pass on the order. Everyone in Pinglingshan should put down what they are doing and gather in front of the meeting hall immediately."

"Yes." Several people responded and filed out of the room.

………………

In front of the Pinglingshan Assembly Hall, groups of escaping lights kept coming. Tang Ning was sitting on the main seat of the hall, with Yan Ming, Yang Qiushui, Xu Fan, and Cheng Qian sitting below.

Not long after, Huang Qiansheng led a dozen monks from the Guard Hall in, bowed and saluted: "Uncle Master, everyone is here."

Tang Ning stood up and walked to them, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Yesterday, something happened during the brigade's inspection. Maybe someone has heard about it. Among the materials handed over to the sect, there were two hundred in one of the stone boxes. Fifty Purple Smoke Fruits were packed, and I carefully checked the recorded images of the Eye of Heaven and Earth in the storage room, and no one had entered or left. "

"So someone must have changed the package during the picking and escorting. Your guardsmen followed me on the picking and escorting that day, and were involved in the whole process."

"Now I give you one last chance to tell me who secretly exchanged the two hundred and fifty bead elixir."

There was silence in the hall, and everyone bowed their heads in silence.

"You are responsible for the packing, inspection and escorting. Some of you must have secretly changed the herbs. It doesn't matter. I can give you a cup of tea to think about it carefully and let me know when you think about it."

Still no one spoke, and the dozen or so monks in the Guard Hall all lowered their heads and remained silent. Tang Ning sat on the main seat, looking like she was not in a hurry.

The tea time passed quickly, and there was silence in the hall. Tangning said, "Since you don't want to say anything, then fine! All those responsible for loading and inspection that day will come forward."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and seven people stepped out from the team.

"Senior, we have not done anything to steal the elixir. Please be aware of this." One of the fair-faced men said in a low voice.

"Yeah?"

"yes."

Tangning disappeared in an instant and appeared next to him, staring directly at him: "Let me ask you again, who secretly changed the elixir?"

The man's eyes flickered and his throat rolled: "I don't know, this junior."

As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Ning suddenly took action, and the five fingers of her hand passed through his head without any obstruction. With a wave of his right hand, his entire head was chopped off, and his body fell straight down. Blood spurted out from his neck and spread smoothly around.

With a "thud", Yan Ming, Yang Qiushui, Xu Fan, and Cheng Qian suddenly stood up from their seats and looked at him with horror on their faces.

The others took a step back in unison, with horrified looks on their faces, and there were gasps of cold air, and several people's hands and feet were trembling slightly.

The whole process happened in one go, in a flash of lightning. Tangning inserted the five fingers of her left hand into his head and threw it casually. There was only a "dong" sound, and the bloody head fell to the ground and rolled several times until it touched. He stopped at one person's feet.

The five finger-shaped transparent holes on the head are prominent and the eyes are wide open.

With the sound of the head falling to the ground, the bodies of several people in the hall visibly trembled.

Tangning tossed her sleeves as if nothing had happened, stood with her hands behind her back and said calmly: "I have made it clear just now that some of you have taken advantage of the elixir, but he said that none of you knew the details of this matter. This is blatant deception. Me, do you think I’m a fool?”

"You." Tangning pointed at a man and said, "Tell me who did this. I'll give you ten minutes to think about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man knelt down on his knees. His whole body could not help but tremble, and he turned pale with fear. He kowtowed in fear and said: "Senior, please spare your life, Senior, please spare your life."

"Dong dong dong"

The sound of his head hitting the ground continued to echo in the hall.

The other people all lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.

Tang Ning had no expression on her face, minding her own business and counting the time.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

As he landed on the ground, the man's body trembled more and more violently.

"Junior, please forgive me, senior." The man said in a trembling voice: "The two hundred and fifty beads of medicinal herbs were actually done by Lin Quan."

"Who is Lin Quan?"

"It's the person who was killed by senior just now."

Tangning sneered: "You have a good idea, blaming everything on the dead man."

Hearing this, the man's figure suddenly trembled: "Senior, I know that everything I said is true. It was indeed Lin Quan who stole the two hundred and fifty Pearl Purple Smoke Fruits. If you don't believe it, senior, you can ask other people."

"Ask other people? So you all know that Lin Quan did this?"

When the other five people heard this, they fell to their knees one after another, horrified and shouting for mercy.

"How many elixirs did each of you share?" Tangning said calmly. He was actually not too surprised that everyone who stayed for inspection was involved in the theft. Two hundred and fifty beads of medicinal herbs was not a small amount. No one might notice if you steal a few boxes, but with such a large amount, it would be difficult to completely hide it from others.

After all, they were on the deck of the warship together at the time. Even if they were inspected separately, the monk's observation and sensitivity could not be weaker.

Therefore, there are only two possibilities, either one of them took it, and the others turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.

Either everyone conspired to steal the Purple Smoke Fruit.

Therefore, when someone said uninformed words, he immediately killed the person on the spot without even interrogating him.

One is unable to hold back his anger.

The two are killing chickens to scare monkeys.

"Senior, it's clear to me that this junior and others haven't even taken a single elixir." The person just now said.

"You didn't take it? Then why did you cover him?"

The man replied: "At that time, Lin Quan secretly exchanged medicinal herbs. After being discovered by Chen Yun, he quickly attracted our attention. In order to calm the matter, Lin Quan gave each of us a hush-hush fee of 200,000 spiritual stones."

"Lin Quan instigated us by saying that if we take some of the 10,000 beads of medicinal herbs, we will not be discovered at all, and as long as we hand it over, we will not be traced. In addition, we get along well with each other on weekdays, and we can't bear to expose him, so For a moment, I was so obsessed that I acquiesced in his actions. "

"Yesterday, I heard that the inspectors of the brigade happened to find stolen herbs. The juniors were all in panic and were about to come to apologize to the seniors."

"Lin Quan found us again and threatened that we were accomplices. If we surrender at this time, we will definitely not end well. It is better to deny it. He has prepared a set of rhetoric. When the time comes, he will come forward to clarify and convince the seniors."

"The juniors were worried that they could not explain clearly and were afraid of being implicated, so they agreed to him and did not come to complain."

"Senior, please be clear. Junior and others are really not involved in stealing the elixir. I hope senior will give us a chance. Junior will never dare to do it again."

"Is that so?" Tangning looked at the others with a blank expression.

"Yes, senior Mingjian."

"It was Lin Quan who forced us."

"Junior actually did not participate in stealing the elixir. Senior knew it clearly."

Several people said quickly.
