Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The two chatted for a while, and then Tang Ning got to the point in a leisurely manner: "Fellow Daoist Xu has been around for a long time and has profound knowledge. He must know the affairs of the world. Tang has a small matter that he would like to ask for advice."

"I don't dare. Fellow Taoist Tang, please tell me."

"In the opinion of fellow Taoists, who in the world today can take the place of the four great sects?"

Xu Fengnian muttered: "That's right! I'm humble and speak lightly, but I really don't dare to speak nonsense about the world's major facts."

"What if this matter is really related to the interests of your government, or even life and death? Taoist friends must have heard that Qingzhou is currently in turmoil, and the three sects of Hunyuan, Taiji, and Xingyi have changed their banners with the intention of establishing their own schools. If this county The Jingyue Sect and the Liu family also raised their flags to follow, and called on all the sects and sects in the county to follow them and rebel. Will fellow Taoists and your family work for them? "

Xu Fengnian said sternly: "Xu is not a short-sighted person, and will never collude with him. Please rest assured, Taoist friends and noble sects. Our house is only the size of a grain of rice. We are very lucky to have this three-acre land to pass on our family business. An An Dare you have other plans."

"Besides, with the cultivation level of everyone in our government, once they join the war and disputes, they are not even qualified to be cannon fodder. One day, Xu will not be able to hide in time, how dare he throw himself into the pit of fire?"

Tang Ning smiled and said, "What Daoyou Xu said is thorough and far-reaching. In my opinion, the three counties of Beihai, Le'an, and Pingyuan will not survive in the long run. Sooner or later, they will pay a heavy price for today's actions. Now Qingzhou is in internal and external troubles, and Donglai This is still the case in the county. There are Netherworld Organizations inside that are ready to take action, and there are Mubei demons outside that are looking at us. If there is internal strife, it will be painful for the relatives and happy for the enemies. "

"To take a step back, even if the counties in Qingzhou can establish their own branches, once they encounter foreign enemies, such as the Mubei demon, the Netherworld Sea Organization, or forces from other states and counties invade, without the four major sects coordinating above, who can stop them."

"If Qingzhou is not guarded by our sect, other forces will inevitably come in like a tide, and war will inevitably break out. In fact, in the final analysis, the reason why the three sects of Hunyuan, Taiji, and Xingyi rebelled is just due to conflict of interests. "

"For the lower-level sects below, is it really that important who makes the decision? Could it be that after our sect leaves, no other forces will intervene in Qingzhou? Can those tribute taxes be waived? Those jurisdictions occupied by our sect Can it be reached by them? "

"At most, the Zhang family has left, and the Li family has made the decision. The Li family has left, and the Chen family has made the decision. It's just a change of soup but not medicine. Why bother!"

"Fellow Daoist Xu, do you think so?"

Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "What Taoist Taoist Tang said is the truth. Regardless of success or failure, the ones at the top will always benefit, while the ones who suffer the most are small families like us, so we least want any war. If that day comes, and the situation is unavoidable, Xu will have no choice but to take refuge in the mountains with his elders and children, which is better than going to the front line and dying."

While the two were talking, a man came in from outside, bowed and said, "Master, the banquet is ready."

"Fellow Taoist Tang, Taoist Zhang, please, it's rare for you two to come to our house. Let's just get drunk today."

Several people got up and went outside.

…

In a blink of an eye, years pass by in the blink of an eye.

In Beihai County, on the towering city walls, huge cannons are displayed one after another, and rows of monks in armor stand.

The warships that covered the sky and sun slowly passed over the city, emitting various lights, forming a formation.

Black clouds high in the sky pressed over the city, and the atmosphere was depressing and heavy.

I don't know how long it took, but from the south of Yuanyuan City, a torrent came overwhelmingly, shining with all kinds of lights, and they were huge warships.

As the two sides got closer and closer, they heard a loud roar that shook the earth. Countless artillery shells fell into the opponent's camp like raindrops, and huge airflow clouds rose high in the sky.

The entire world was immediately shrouded in light of various colors, huge arcs of lightning leaped inside, and ripples in the space were like huge waves spreading all around.

Space was torn into disconnected areas. During this period, the huge black hole slowly expanded, swallowing everything. Many warships were swallowed by the torn black hole, and fell apart in pieces.

Many rays of light soared into the sky, and various magical powers appeared.

As the cannonballs flew by, many monks were mercilessly crushed into powder. The battle lasted from sunrise to sunset, and the winner was gradually determined.

As the warships filed into the city, there was a burst of joyful shouts from the city walls.

………

In Donglai County, in front of a slightly dark house, a man pushed open the door and walked in. He bowed and saluted the gray-haired old man inside: "Master, we are here."

The old man raised his head and glanced at the man wearing a bamboo hat and black robe behind him, and waved his hand.

The man retreated quietly, and the heavy stone door closed again.

"Junior Zhang Hang pays homage to Senior Liu." The visitor took off his bamboo hat, revealed a face with regular features, and bowed his head.

"You are so courageous that you dare to come to Donglai County to see me at this time. Don't you know that Taixuanzong is closely monitoring our government. If they are aware of it, your life will be difficult to save." The old man said calmly.

Zhang Fang smiled slightly: "Tai Xuan Zong is far from as strong as outsiders think, as shown in the previous battles. Moreover, with Senior Liu's ability, wouldn't it be easy to get rid of a few secretly spying rats?"

The old man was noncommittal: "Whatever Jiang Yunming has to say, you can say it now."

The man turned out the letter in his hand and presented it respectfully with both hands: "This is the letter my family asked me to bring to you. Please read it."

The old man took the letter, opened it, took a look, and put it aside casually: "Is this what you call sincerity? It's ridiculous. If you have such an attitude, I don't think you need to waste any more time.

"Senior, wait a minute." Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhang Fang turned out a box in his hand that was neither stone nor gold, and full of ancient patterns and vicissitudes of life: "Senior, please take a look at this thing. The master of the family solemnly asked me to hand it over to you personally. "

The old man took the wooden box, opened it and took a look, his eyes narrowed: "Where did you get this?"

"Only the head of the family knows about this matter. It is something that the old head of the family has only mastered in his whole life. He doesn't even know about Jiang Tang, let alone Jiang Chang. Senior, are you willing to sit down and talk in detail? If senior is not satisfied with the conditions we offer "If you have any requests, just say so. I will report them to the head of the family and then I will reply to you, senior."

The old man frowned slightly, then sat back down in front of the case.

…

At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. Yuanxian County and the Qianyue Mountains. In front of a huge blue light curtain, two wind spirit ships are speeding towards them. One is parked on the left and right on the east and west sides of the mountain range. Two huge stars stick out from the bottom of the ship's side. The dark green missile shot out with a loud roar and exploded above the light curtain.

The space ripples overlapped layer by layer and spread around, setting off huge waves in the blink of an eye.

Above the light curtain, many runes flowed and the light burst out, resisting the impact of the missiles.

On the warship, cannonballs were fired, and the runes circulating on the light curtain were shattered one by one under the cannonballs. After holding on for less than half an hour, the light curtain melted and disintegrated silently, and many escaping lights rose into the sky. Turn into birds and beasts and disperse.

…

The sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky. In Shigang County and Chiyang Valley, several rays of light shot out from a distance. Everyone flipped their hands and many magic weapons attacked the light curtain. In an instant, all kinds of rays of light enveloped the entire world. .

…

In Xuantang City, in the meeting hall directly under the brigade, everyone was talking about each other.

A few months ago, the Liu family officially announced that it did not recognize the identity of the head of the Jiang Chang family and would no longer pay tribute to the Jiang family represented by Jiang Chang.

The Liu family's announcement spread throughout Donglai County and immediately caused an uproar, followed by chaos and fighting among the counties.

The monks of the Jiang family stationed in Donglai County and the monks of the Liu family were fighting fiercely. Under these two giants, other cultivating families in Donglai County were forced to take sides and were completely separated into two factions.

In contrast, the Xuanmen sect in Donglai County was unusually quiet, indifferent to the dispute between the two sects, and just stayed on the sidelines.

The Fourth Army Corps also chose to sit on the sidelines without receiving orders from Qingwu Camp, and did not rashly get involved in the fight between them.

Under the current situation, Taixuanzong and Jiang Chang's faction are allies, and they are grasshoppers on a rope.

The Liu family did not recognize Jiang Chang's status as the head of the family. In fact, they were on the same front as Jiang Yunming. Logically speaking, Emperor Taixuanzong should order the Fourth Army to help the Jiang family fight against the Liu family's blatant rebellion.

However, the senior officials of Taixuanzong did not issue this order, so there are many things worth pondering.

Whatever the underlying reasons may be, at least the superficial reasons are sufficient.

First of all, the banner of the Liu family is to establish their own family. They do not recognize the status of the Jiang family led by Jiang Chang in Donglai County. They have not formed an alliance with the three sects of Hunyuan, Taiji, and Xingyi. Therefore, the Liu family His actions can only be regarded as an internal split within the family of cultivators, and Xuanmen has no reason to get involved.

The second is the limitation of ability. Currently, Taixuanzong's crusade army is in a stalemate with the coalition forces from Beihai, Le'an, and Pingyuan counties. The two sides fought several battles. Instead of overwhelming the rebels, Taixuanzong suffered some small losses. Unfortunately, after several battles, they all ended in defeat.

This makes other forces in Qingzhou ready to take action, and the rebellion of the Liu family is the best example.

The main force of Taixuan Sect was in a stalemate with the rebels. Under this situation, they naturally did not have much energy to intervene in the internal divisions of the Cultivation Family, so they adopted a resigned attitude towards their actions.

It wasn't until Huang Yuan came in from the outside that everyone stopped talking.

As usual, Huang Yuan announced several decision-making proposals for the alliance and gave instructions on some corresponding matters. After the discussion, everyone returned to the cave without mentioning anything.
