Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Viewed from a distance, stars as big as bullfights hung above Tang Ning and Su Wan's heads, emitting clear light and covering an area of ​​dozens of feet, as if forming two heavens and earth from the outside.

The clear light inside reflects each other, exuding a strong chilling color. Outside, the clouds are clear, the sky is clear, and the breeze is blowing.

"If the senior does not agree to the junior's request, the junior will never leave." Su Wan was still kneeling on the ground, resisting the squeezing of the huge spiritual power around her, with slight sweat on her forehead.

"Hmph." Tangning snorted coldly. At the same time, stars as big as bulls fell slowly in the sky, and the entire space began to distort visibly to the naked eye.

The space around Su Wan was most severely distorted, as if countless tentacles were drilling into her body.

Under the tremendous pressure, Su Wan's body began to twist, her bones creaked, and veins bulged all over her body. She was still kneeling on the ground, clenching her teeth, blood pouring from her mouth, and sweat pouring down her forehead.

In less than a few dozen breaths, as the stars descended, the space became more and more distorted. Su Wan finally couldn't hold on anymore and spat out a mouthful of blood. Her vision went dark and she fell down.

The moment she fell to the ground, the slowly falling stars in the sky turned into dazzling light at an extremely fast speed and returned to Tang Ning's body. The distorted space returned to its original state in an instant.

The clouds were clear, the sky was clear, and the breeze was blowing, as if nothing had happened.

"Yan Ming, send her back to Xuanye Sect." Tang Ning turned around and walked towards the formation.

"Yes." Yan Ming flashed and came to Su Wan. His spiritual power enveloped her and flew towards the southeast.

"Pass on my orders to summon the monks from all departments and warn them not to spread the word about this matter. If anyone still secretly talks about it, they will be punished with confinement for half a year and their salary will be halved."

…

Qianxun Mountain is majestic and vast, covering an area of ​​thousands of miles. It is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. Monks from far and near know that this is where the Zhang family is entrenched.

At night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, a ray of light rose into the sky and sped towards the northwest.

After walking for less than an hour, a ray of light shot up from behind and caught up with the figure in front.

In an instant, the sky and the earth darkened in vain, as if falling into a bottomless abyss. A golden sun rose, blooming with dazzling light and spreading around the darkness.

…

Zhang Yingxue opened her eyes drowsily, and what she saw was a clean and tidy stone room. Her expression changed, and when she was about to get up, she found that she was tightly bound by chains, and her body was also restrained.

Seeing this, Zhang Yingxue's pupils suddenly shrank, and then she recalled everything that had happened before. She remembered that she was intercepted by a mysterious Nascent Soul monk.

Just when she was about to ask, the words had not yet left her throat. A dazzling light emitted from this person, covering everything in the world, followed by a huge golden sun. She only felt the huge pressure that made her breathless. He felt like he was in a vast ocean and couldn't breathe, and then he lost consciousness.

She took a few deep breaths to calm down quickly and looked around.

This should be a certain mansion. The surrounding stone walls are made of ordinary bluestone, and there is a little dust in the corners of the house.

Thoughts raced in her mind, who exactly was the other person, and what was the purpose of abducting her here?

First of all, we can rule out personal grudges or family rivals. With the opponent's Nascent Soul's cultivation level, it is too easy to deal with him, and there is no need to go around in such a big circle.

The other party caught me and imprisoned me here. There must be someone who needs me. But in this way, is he trying to use me as a cauldron or to refine some strange evil skills?

Thinking of this, she became more and more uneasy.

At this moment, heavy footsteps sounded, the stone door creaked open, and a middle-aged man in his late thirties and early thirties walked in from the outside: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, you're awake."

Zhang Yingxue was shocked, because she only had the early stage of Jindan cultivation, which was comparable to her, and the person who captured her was clearly a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The arresters and guards were not the same person, so the other party was most likely an organization.

"Who am I, my friend? Why did you arrest me here?"

"Don't worry, fellow Taoist. We have no ill intentions towards you. We have no choice but to use this method. If things go well, fellow Taoist will be able to go back soon. As for my identity, I cannot reveal it for the time being. This is in the lower house. "Please, Fellow Daoist Zhang, condescend to this for now. You can stay here quietly and keep me safe. If Fellow Daoist refuses to cooperate, then don't blame me for being merciless." After the man said that, he turned around and left. In the room, the heavy stone door closed again with a creak.

…………

At Qianxun Mountain, in front of the majestic palace, a ray of light shot out, and a man with a broad forehead and face appeared, and he hurriedly entered the inner room.

There was a tall, white-haired old man sitting cross-legged in the inner room.

"The head of the family has searched all the properties of our family, and they all said they didn't see Sister Ying."

The old man frowned: "Has Tianye Fang gone?"

"I have been there. Fellow Taoist Xiao who is in charge said that Sister Ying has not been to their place at all in the past few days."

"I understand, you go ahead!" The old man waved his hand, and the man left in response. Before he could leave the room, he saw another man with a hooked nose walking quickly and saluted: "Master, there is a young lady here. Clues."

"Where?"

The man said: "I inquired along the way along Tianye Fang, and finally found an eyewitness at the "Xin'an" gambling house. According to him, around three o'clock on the sixth day of September, there was a huge golden ring in the Fiber Valley area. The sun rises and hangs in the sky. It should be the magical power of a certain monk. "

"He was too far away at the time and didn't see the specific situation clearly. He only had a vague glimpse. The huge golden sun appeared for about a few dozen seconds before the news suddenly came. I guessed that this should be related to the disappearance of the young lady, so I hurriedly came. report."

"Fine Fiber Valley? It's three o'clock? That shouldn't be wrong. Yingxue set off at Chenshi. If she was going to Tianye Fang, with her speed and cultivation, she would arrive at Fiber Fiber Valley in almost an hour." The old man His eyes flashed slightly: "Immediately pass on my order to send everyone to Fiber Valley to inquire about information and look for clues."

"Yes." The hook-nosed man responded and left.

"Master, if the news is true, Sister Ying must have been coerced by someone. She must have run away without a trace long ago. I'm afraid it's too late to go to Fiber Valley now. My nephew thinks that everyone should be sent out. Find whereabouts." The broad-faced man suggested.

The old man muttered: "There can be no chaos. The most important thing now is to stabilize the position and find out who the opponent is and what the purpose is? Didn't you hear just now? The battle was over in just a few dozen breaths, which shows that the opponent's cultivation is far away. Above Yingxue, he was able to easily subdue Yingxue without killing her. This person obviously had another purpose. "

"If we are in a mess and bump into each other like headless flies, we will play into the opponent's hands and be led by their noses."

“The more times this happens, the more we need to respond calmly and remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing situations.”

"Go and call Ying Yuan, Xiao Fu, and Yuan Qian to discuss how to deal with this disaster."

…

At night, under the stars, Tang Ning sat cross-legged on the futon in the cave in Pingling Mountain. Footsteps were heard outside, and Gao Yuan bowed and saluted: "Uncle Master, there is a monk named Chen Liang outside who wants to see you."

"Chen Liang?" Tang Ning frowned slightly. This person was the head of the Chen family. He came in person so late. Could it be that the news about Zhang Yingxue was leaked?

"Invite him!"

"Yes." Gao Yuan took the order and left. After tea time, he returned to the main room: "Uncle, he is already waiting in the living room."

"Yes." Tangning nodded, but did not move immediately. It took a while before she got up and came to the living room of the cave residence.

In the spacious hall, a middle-aged man with a good appearance was sitting at the desk, sipping tea. When he saw Tang Ning coming in from the outside, he put down his teacup, stood up with a smile, and said, "Fellow Taoist Tang, it's been a long time, remember." The first time we met was at the birthday banquet of Master Chen Daoyou of Xuanye Sect. After that time, I always wanted to visit Daoist Fellow, but I was afraid of disturbing him, so I didn’t dare to come. I’m going to bother you today, so I hope you won’t be offended.”

"Fellow Taoist's arrival is really beyond my expectation. I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for so long. I was delayed for some time to deal with some secular matters and didn't come out to greet you in time." Tang Ning returned the greeting with a smile. The two exchanged a few words and divided up the guest and host. And sit.

"Fellow Daoist Chen came to visit so late. He must have gone to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. If you have anything to say, there is no harm in speaking up."

"To be honest, Chen has taken the liberty to bother me this time because he really has something to ask fellow Taoists for help."

"What is it? I will try my best to do what I can.

"There is a Zhang family within the jurisdiction of our clan. Do you know about it?"

"Have heard a little bit."

Chen Liangdao: "It's like this. The Zhang family's grandfather has worked for our family for several generations. Because of his great contribution and hard work, my grandfather and father handed over the affairs of the northwest generation to them, and promised them to allow them to leave our family." Home, build your own family.”

"Zhang Wei's generation, after leaving our clan, settled down in the northwest of our pavilion, guarded the northwest gate for our clan, and still managed some of our clan's properties in the northwest."

"Some time ago, Zhang Wei came to me and told me that her daughter Zhang Yingxue had disappeared for no reason. Eyewitnesses saw someone using magical powers in the Fiber Valley area at 3:30 on the sixth day of September, and they suspected that Zhang Yingxue was abducted here."

"We have been following this clue for a long time, but still found nothing."

"Your department represents Taixuanzong and is stationed here. Which force in Jingyuan Pavilion dares not to give your department a little favor? Tang Taoist friends also have many friends, so I took the liberty to come here today to ask if you have any news in this regard?" If you could tell me, I’d be very grateful.”

Tang Ning smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint fellow Taoist Master Chen. Tang has only been in office for less than two years. He's not familiar with the place here. He really has the reputation of making a lot of friends. Apart from the last time we met at the birthday banquet of Master Chen of Xuanye Sect, Tang Ning said with a smile. Apart from fellow Taoists, we don’t have any interactions with each other on weekdays. I really don’t know about the disappearance of Zhang Wei’s daughter.”

"Fellow Taoist, why don't you find the Xuanye Sect? They are the local snakes here, they have many eyes and ears, and they are very powerful in this pavilion. They may have clues."

Chen Liang hesitated and said: "I heard that Zhang Yingxue's fiancé Shen Tianwen had offended Guizong and was chased by Guizong's team stationed in Huajian Pavilion. Is this possible?"

Tang Ning's expression remained unchanged, with a faint smile still on her face: "Oh? I've never heard of this. Is there such a thing? Where did Fellow Daoist Chen hear it?"

"It's all gossip, rumors, that's why I came..."

"Since it's unconfirmed gossip, I don't think it's worth bothering you and me here." Tang Ning interrupted him and asked, "Do you have anything else to do, Fellow Daoist Chen?"

Chen Liang smiled: "No, I'm sorry for bothering you. I'll take my leave."

After that, he stood up and walked out.

"Fellow Daoist Chen." Tang Ning suddenly called him.

"Do you have any advice from fellow Taoist Tang?"

"I just heard what you said. This Zhang Wei has separated from the nobles and established his own family. In other words, he is no longer a member of your house, and their affairs have nothing to do with your house, right?"

"You can say that."

"That's good. Although I don't know who did it, the other party obviously has a clear purpose. It would be too bad if it involves your house because of the Zhang family's affairs."

"Thank you for your kindness, my farewell."

"Gaoyuan, send off Fellow Daoist Chen."

"Senior Chen, please."
