Chronicles of Celestial Origins

In Xie Minghua's cave, Tang Ning bowed and saluted, and after speaking politely, she explained her purpose of coming.

"This disciple came to the headquarters, thanks to the care of Master Xie. Recently I heard that the regiment will fill a large number of vacancies. The disciple wants to belong to the group and will be selected to be in charge of the brigade directly."

Xie Minghua said calmly: "There is also a vacancy for the manager position in the headquarters. Why don't you try to choose this position?"

"To be honest, Uncle Master, the reason why this disciple chose to be directly in charge of the brigade is actually under the guidance of Master Uncle Fang. As you know, Inspector He was a little dissatisfied with this disciple because of Lin Quan's incident, so it would be better for him to leave the headquarters. Disciple previously I have met Master Huang Yuan of the direct brigade, and he will nominate the disciples to be the managers of the direct brigade.”

Tang Ning didn't hide anything. It wasn't a secret anyway. He answered truthfully and put his trump cards on the table, just to tell Xie Minghua that no matter whether his supporters supported him or not, with the support of Fang Dasheng and Huang Yuan, he would have a high probability of success. Optional.

Speaking of which, Xie Minghua had no fundamental conflict with himself. It was understandable that he supported Sima Teng before. Later, he maintained a relatively neutral attitude towards Lin Quan and did not take the opportunity to step on him.

Although he scolded Mrs. Sima Xian in front of him on his thousandth birthday, which made him a little embarrassed, this was just a small episode and was far from a conflict. Moreover, he came to apologize three times afterwards, and he accepted it.

Therefore, there is no major conflict between the two of them. At most, they don't like him very much and their relationship is not that close.

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. It's better to dissolve enemies than to make friends. He is about to leave his headquarters. If he intends to ease the relationship between the two, then after listening to these words, he will make a rational and correct decision.

As for myself, if I can get another vote from Xie Minghua, then no matter who my opponent is, I will be sure of victory.

Xie Minghua said: "So, you and Jiang Wu, who is directly under the third team, have switched places. No wonder a few days ago, Senior Brother Fang and his apprentice brought Jiang Wu to visit me. I was also wondering why you didn't participate in the selection of the head of the headquarters. The direct team versus you It’s a good place to go, I wish you success in your choice.”

"Thank you, Master. I hope that Master will be able to support this disciple. I will not disturb Uncle Qingxiu. I will say goodbye." Tang Ning stood up and said.

For Xie Minghua to have this attitude, he has achieved his expected goal. It is absolutely impossible for him to express support for him on the spot. He will not be the first person to come to him, nor will he be the last one.

"Junior Brother Tang, I'll see you off." Xie Xuan said proactively, and the two of them left the room together.

"Junior Brother Tang, congratulations! You are about to be promoted to the position of manager of the direct brigade."

"It's too early to draw a conclusion now, it depends on the situation."

"That's just a formality. With your connections, Junior Brother Tang, and the support of Senior Uncle Fang and Senior Uncle Huang, isn't it a sure bet that you will be appointed as the brigade manager?"

"If we can have Uncle Xie's support, then we will be sure of victory."

"I think my uncle's attitude will support you. Junior Brother Tang, I really envy you. It's a pity that I didn't meet the standards for selecting a brigade manager and missed this good opportunity."

Xie Xuan has been the captain of the team for less than a hundred years, so he is not eligible to participate in the selection of stewards.

"Thanks to Senior Uncle Xie's care, it's only a matter of time before Senior Brother Xie is promoted to Team Manager."

The two chatted all the way, and after leaving the cave, Tang Ning said goodbye and turned into light and left.

………

Jingyuan Pavilion, Pingling Mountain, in front of the cave, Tang Ning's light fell down and went straight inside.

Inside, Gu Yuanya, Chen Xiaofan, Gao Yuan, Yan Qing, and Zhang Yao came out to welcome him.

"Master, uncle." Several people bowed and saluted.

"Why are you all together? What happened?"

Chen Xiaofan, Gao Yuan and others looked at each other, bowed their heads and remained silent.

Gu Yuanya said: "Master, are you going to be promoted to the direct brigade manager?"

Tangning nodded slightly: "It does happen, but it may not be optional."

"Master, if you go to the direct brigade, will we still stay here?"

"We'll see then! It's too early to make any decisions now."

"Master, if you leave, wouldn't it be dangerous for us to stay here?"

"Danger?" Tangning paused slightly and looked back at her: "Where does the danger come from?"

Gu Yuanya said: "You have forgotten that He Lian has always hated you for what happened to Lin Quan. If he can't deal with you, there is no guarantee that he will not attack us to vent his personal anger. If you are transferred and without your protection, we It’s not a soft persimmon in his hands, he can squeeze it as he wants.”

"If at that time, one of his henchmen is transferred, and he can use any tricks to frame a false accusation, it will be enough for us."

Tangning glanced at everyone: "Do you all think so?"

Chen Xiaofan replied: "Disciples and others do have concerns in this regard. Once our uncle leaves and there is no one to protect us, it is inevitable that He Lian will not attack us, especially Junior Sister Gu. If He Lian wants to take revenge on you, she will definitely be The first goal.”

"You don't need to worry, I will make arrangements then, go back!"

"Yes, disciple, take your leave." Several people left in response.

Gu Yuanya followed him into the main room: "Master, you are going to the direct brigade, should we follow you there too?"

"Chen Xiaofan mentioned this to you, right? What did you say?"

"It's nothing. Just now, Senior Brother Chen and the others came to me and asked you if you were going to be the leader of the direct brigade. On the one hand, they were worried that once you left, the new captain would dismiss them. On the other hand, they were worried about continuing to stay here. Will be retaliated by He Lian, so please let me ask you about their future arrangements. I didn't expect to see you come back."

Tangning frowned slightly: "How do they know that I might go to the direct brigade to serve?"

"I met Junior Brother Gao Yuan a few days ago and I mentioned it to him."

"Don't spread this kind of unconfirmed news everywhere in the future. Once you tell it, everyone in the entire team will soon know about it. This is not good."

"Oh!" Gu Yuanya responded in a low voice. Just as she was about to speak, the storage bag at her waist suddenly trembled. She took it out to take a look and took the talisman into her hand.

"Master, Junior Brother Gao Yuan is here again."

"You go first!"

Not long after, Gao Yuan came in from the outside and bowed and saluted: "Uncle Master, Senior Fang Yuan from Pingyang Valley is here and wants to see you."

"Fang Yuan? Invite him to wait for you in the meeting hall!"

"Yes." Gao Yuan turned around and left.

Pingyang Valley is the alchemy hall opened by the brigade in Jingyuan Pavilion. The brigade submits purple tobacco, poppy flowers, heart fire mushrooms, and three-leaf greens every year.

The one thousand plants left behind by the brigade were all sent there to be refined into elixirs and then sold. Fang Yuan was the person in charge of Pingyang Valley and the recruiting monk of the brigade.

Tang Ning receives a share of five million spirit stones from Pingyang Valley every year to help them handle some trivial matters.

In front of the meeting hall, he escaped from the light and walked in. Sitting inside was a middle-aged man with a big face and big ears.

"Fellow Taoist Tang, it's been a long time." Fang Yuan stood up and saluted with a smile.

"Fellow Taoist Fang rarely comes to our place. If you are not welcome from afar, please take a seat."

The two sat separately as guest and host.

"I haven't seen you for many years. My Taoist friend Tang has made further progress. I'm very happy to congratulate you."

"It's just a fluke. I don't know why Fellow Daoist Fang is here?"

"It's like this. I have something troublesome and I need Fellow Taoist Tang's help. There is an alchemist in this temple who offended the Kunyan Chamber of Commerce. Now he is detained by them. I would like to ask fellow Taoist to mediate to see if he can be rescued. come out."

"Kunyan Chamber of Commerce? What's going on?"

"This person's surname is Shao Minghui. He is the highest level alchemist in this temple. Do you still have any impressions of Fellow Taoist Tang? When you and fellow Taoist Jiang Xinquan visited this temple, you met him specifically."

"Oh!" When he said this, Tang Ning remembered that he was the man with unique alchemy skills.

"I remember him, what's wrong? What happened to him? How come he was detained by Kunyan Chamber of Commerce."

Fang Yuandao said: "Shao Hui is obsessed with elixirs and doesn't care much about other things. Because of his superb alchemy skills, I arranged for a few people to learn the unique alchemy method from him. These people had nothing to do, so they He went to the attic to play together, and unexpectedly caused a trouble. "

"The attic they often go to is called Zuiyue Tower. It was originally a place for monks to have fun. Everyone went there to have fun. For some reason, Shao Hui actually developed true feelings. After going back and forth, he and A female cultivator who was escorting me at Zuiyue Tower was so passionate that she actually wanted to stay with her forever and wanted to take her away from Zuiyue Tower. "

"Zuiyue Tower is originally the property of the Chen family. Shao Hui went to talk to the steward of Zuiyue Tower, hoping to redeem the girl's body and make her a free person. The monks of the Chen family did not refuse, and offered a sky-high price. Three hundred million spiritual stones.”

"I guess they wanted Shao Hui to retreat when he saw the difficulties, but this man, with his thick head and stubbornness, actually came up with a stupid trick. He took the 20 to 30 million spiritual stones he had saved so hard and went to A big gamble in the gambling house, and the result was a complete loss.”

"If that was the end of the matter, he refused to give in and borrowed another 20 million spiritual stones from the gambling house. In the end, not only did he lose all the spiritual stones, but he was also imprisoned."

"This gambling house is an industry owned by Kunyan Chamber of Commerce."
