Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"So, it was caused by the intensification of their internal conflicts." Zheng Wei muttered, with a plan in mind. Originally, he planned to ask about the situation and give advice and give some advice if there were any difficulties. After all, he is in charge of intelligence matters, so it is not a good idea to continue like this.

Now that Xu Qingwan said this, he had completely given up the idea. He was afraid of avoiding this kind of internal struggle, so how could he get on the pole and get involved in it. I had no choice but to agree to Du Yuankai spying on Tang Ning, but I regretted it so much. I felt guilty, and I avoided this situation like a snake or a scorpion.

Xu Qingwan said: "It is not appropriate for us to get involved and say too much about this matter. If we wait patiently, the matter will eventually be resolved."

Zheng Wei nodded and said: "I know that this is a game between them. Tang Xianshi did this to express his protest and show it to the people of the Shangzong. I heard that Du Xianshi came back a month ago. I don't know why?"

Xu Qingwan said: "I don't know about this. Du Xianshi talked with Tang Xianshi alone for half a day, and then left. Within a few days, the Shangzong rejected the application file for the spirit stone subsidy."

"It seems that the negotiation was not successful!" Zheng Wei sighed. He knew that Du Yuankai and the people behind him were not from the same faction as Tang Ning. Judging from the time, Du Yuankai must have negotiated when he came over, but the result was that the negotiation obviously collapsed. That led to such consequences.

"Are you saying that this time Shang Zong went out of his way and rejected the station's Lingshi subsidy application because Du Xianshi was obstructing it? But the two of them got along well before and there was no conflict." Xu Qingwan frowned slightly in confusion. road.

When Du Yuankai left with the intelligence station's remaining spiritual stone funds, Tang Ning did not ask for it. She knew about it, and the two of them got along well when they worked together, so in her opinion, the relationship between the two should be good. of.

Zheng Wei said: "Is there any conflict that can be seen on the surface? These people are cunning and cunning. Even if they hate each other and itches their teeth due to conflicts, they will not tear their faces apart like casual cultivators and use bad words to express their emotions."

"How did you know?"

Zheng Wei said: "Tell you the truth! It was Du Xianshi who said it himself. There is no personal conflict between him and Tang Xianshi, but they are not in the same boat. There are also factions within the Qianyi Sect, and those behind Du Xianshi People are not from the same faction as Tang Xianshi, so when Du Xianshi was in office, the application for the spirit stone subsidy was very smooth. "

"And Tang Xianshi dismissed it as soon as he took office. It's better for you to know this secretly, and don't tell others, including Tang Xianshi."

Xu Qingwan said suddenly: "That's it."

The two chatted for a long time. Zheng Wei exited his room and left without looking for Tangning again.

………………

Qian Yizong, Zhongzhi Peak, Lu Xingxian Cave Mansion.

Du Yuankai sat opposite him, flipped through his left hand and took out a file and handed it to him: "This is sent by someone I arranged for at the Silver Fox Intelligence Station. Since the spirit stone subsidy was rejected, Junior Brother Tang ordered that all the following actions be frozen. Funding applications. Several infiltration plans to instigate rebellion have been stopped.”

Lu Xingxian took the file, glanced at it, and snorted coldly: "You are going to fight me in the ring! You are going to do this with me, trying to force me to submit."

Du Yuankai said: "It's not an option to continue like this. How about I go talk to him again? Let's take a step back."

"Quit? What leverage does he have to make me quit? Hmm, let's see what tricks he can make."

Du Yuankai was speechless.

………………

To the west of Bianjing City, in a remote mountainous area, there is a dilapidated stone house.

From time to time there were escaping lights falling in mid-air, but there was no trace after entering the stone house.

Towards evening, the setting sun was like a fire, and a ray of light flashed across the sky, falling outside the stone house, and a human figure appeared. He was wearing a bamboo hat on his head and a black raincoat, which completely covered his face and figure. Reality.

A man in front of the stone house glanced at him and then made a "please" gesture.

The man walked into the house and saw a man and a woman standing at the end of the left side of the house. They had masks on their faces and couldn't see their true faces. Both of them were in the middle stage of foundation building.

He walked forward, flicked his sleeves, and dropped a palm-sized golden token. He held it in his palm and handed it to the man among them.

The man took the token and looked at it, his voice hoarse: "Don't you know your friend's name?"

"Is there such a rule here?"

"The right should be recorded."

"Tang Ru," the person came said. This person was none other than Tang Ning.

He put down his work at the intelligence station and left it all to Zheng Wei and Xu Qingwan, while he ran around looking for materials such as purple flame stone, titanium gold, yellow xuan powder, and green manganese fluid to refine the queen ant corpse. Made into a spiritual weapon.

Since Lu Xingxian insisted on going his own way and insisted on tampering with the spirit stone subsidy to force him to submit, it didn't matter whether he could contribute or not. He could simply be a hands-off shopkeeper and take care of everything.

In fact, he has dozens of ant eggs on his body. It is definitely a good deal to exchange one ant egg for hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones in future funding subsidies.

The reason why he chose to fight to the end and made this unwise move was mainly because he was not ashamed of his despicable means of using power to control others and take advantage of others.

I took a lot of risks to get the ant eggs myself, and I also lost many spiritual weapons to do so. In other words, this is my own opportunity, and it is useless for others to covet it. This is the basic consensus in the spiritual world. .

Why does Lu Xingxian think he can get a piece of the pie? Just because he is the deacon of the Intelligence Division, he takes this title too seriously.

Even the head of the sect did not say this.

Tang Ning always valued peace when interacting with others, and rarely had bad relations with others. Even if she suffered a small loss, she didn't care much about it.

But in the world, some people can be ninja, and some people cannot. If this is tolerable, which one is intolerable?

He has been in the Intelligence Department for so many years. Even if he is not conscientious and diligent, he is at least hardworking and uncomplaining! He thought he already had great respect for Lu Xingxian, the deacon. He gave his best to every task he was assigned, so why should he still give him small shoes to wear?

Not to mention the bad things that Lu Xingxian had done before when he rejected his application for foundation building, this time alone, he would never compromise.

Once you regress, you will really treat yourself as a soft persimmon from now on. An ant egg will pop out today, and a spiritual weapon will pop up tomorrow. Isn’t it true that I will never have peace?

Since he was so angry, he might as well just ignore everything and let whoever likes to toss about the intelligence station's affairs! Let's see what Lu Xingxian can do to him.

In the past few months, he has visited all the cities and private shops of local families, and he has only found one material, purple flame stone. I bought it in a family shop in the southern part of Wu State. It was a private collection of the shopkeeper. I bought three kilograms for five thousand spiritual stones.

There was no trace of the other three materials, so he had no choice. Since he couldn't find them in the shops, he had to turn his target to the individual monks.

The place where a large number of individual monks gathered to trade was the auction. He inquired about information from various sources and learned that there was an auction here.

This auction has high standards, and only monks above the foundation-building stage can participate. It is not known who organized it specifically. There are rumors that it was organized privately by members of the Chamber of Commerce.

Duanjishanfang City holds an auction every four years, which is public and all proceeds go to the Chamber of Commerce.

This kind of private organization is the initiative of the chamber of commerce personnel, and all the profits belong to themselves.

Not everyone can participate in this auction. They must first register at various secret points and obtain their pass tokens before they can participate in the auction. This is the golden brand that Tangning just sold.

The man took the token and asked for Tang Ning's name. He then took out a stone tablet and gave it to him, with the font size "24" written on both sides.

The woman pressed on the stone wall, and the stone wall suddenly opened and moved to both sides, revealing a foot-wide passage.

Tangning took the stone sign and walked in. The passage was about a hundred feet long. At the end, there was another burly man standing beside him, also wearing a mask.

Tang Ning showed him the stone sign. Without saying a word, the big man turned his hand, took out a red flag, and pointed at it.

The flag shot out a red light and hit the ground. A large hole opened in the ground, and a bluestone step appeared inside.

Tangning walked down the bluestone steps. The road became wider and wider. After turning a corner, she came to an empty basement room. There are two more men guarding the end, both wearing hoods, both of whom are in the later stages of foundation building.

He felt a shiver in his heart. The guarding monks alone had reached the late stage of foundation building. There might be golden elixir monks stationed here. He walked forward, and the two people didn't ask any questions. One of them took out a chess flag and opened the stone wall.

Inside is a rather grand hall, twenty feet long and ten feet wide, with a round platform two feet high at the end. The whole hall is magnificent.

The green glazed tiles are twinkling with light, the golden palace lanterns are colorful, and the white jade stone pillars are carved with beams and painted pillars, with lifelike dragons and flying phoenixes engraved on them.

There were twenty or thirty people sitting scattered in the hall, all wearing masks or hats, so their true faces could not be seen clearly.

Tang Ning walked to a remote corner and sat down. He turned his head and looked around. At this moment, there were twenty-four people in the hall, including him, which matched his number. They were all monks with foundation cultivation.

Several people have reached the late stage of foundation building.

There is no doubt that among these people there must be Xuanmen and Demon Sect monks. Under the auspices of such a third party force, they can live in the same room peacefully.

It's not yet time for the auction to start, and everyone is waiting.

As time goes by, many people come to this hall one after another, looking for seats. People who are strangers will basically keep a certain distance from others. There are also some people who are familiar with each other, sitting side by side, all in silence. Without saying a word, he quietly waited for the auction to begin.

Around 1 hour, a hole opened in the stone wall behind the round platform, and two people walked out, wearing masks with horse faces and bull heads on their heads.

The bull-headed man spoke with an old voice: "The time has come, and this auction has begun. Thank you all fellow Taoists for your participation. This time, as usual, we have chosen to hold this auction in Bianjing, Chu State. The next time will be three years later. , will be held in Huanjing, Qi State, and we hope that all Taoist friends can participate.”

The horse-faced man said: "As usual, I will explain the bidding rules so that fellow Taoists who are participating in our bidding meeting for the first time will not know."
