Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 259 Meeting
The man disappeared from the light, and his body appeared. Looking at the handsome man beside the old man, he frowned and asked, "Who is he?"

Du Yuankai said: "Junior brother Tang Ning from the headquarters, this time the sect has sent him to take over my position. From now on, you can contact him directly. Junior brother Tang, this is fellow Taoist Li Pingfeng. He has been hiding in the corpse puppet sect for many years and is one of us."

"Li Daoyou, I've admired you for a long time. I hope we can cooperate sincerely in the future." Tangning Jishou gestured.

"Tangning? This name looks familiar." Li Pingfeng frowned and thought for a while.

Tangning and Du Yuankai looked at each other, not knowing what it meant.

"Li Daoyou met Junior Brother Tang before?"

Li Pingfeng shook his head and looked at Tangning, "Did Liu Zitai be punished by you?"

"What?" Tangning was slightly taken aback, "What Liu Zitai, Li Daoyou must have mistaken him. Tang has never heard of this person, let alone dealt with him."

"Ten years ago, did you join the elite team organized by the Taoist sect? Have you fought against the elite disciples of the Demon Sect? Killed a disciple of the Corpse Puppet Sect?"

After he said this, Tangning remembered, "It's true? Could it be?"

"That's right, the disciple of the Corpse Puppet Sect who was killed by you is named Liu Zitai, and he is the nephew of a Jindan cultivator of our sect. No wonder I said your name is quite familiar. Back then, our Jindan master heard that his nephew My son died at your hands, and I was in great pain. I once offered a reward, and said that whoever can behead your head will be rewarded with a high-grade spiritual weapon." Li Pingfeng said

"So there is such a relationship." Du Yuankai smiled and said, "Junior Brother Tang, you can be regarded as famous in the Demon Sect."

What Tang Ning heard was a different feeling. He was unhappy instead of worried, and felt a headache.

The Corpse Puppet Sect cultivator he killed had such a background, and more importantly, the Golden Core cultivator hated him, and even offered a reward.

Fortunately, after that battle, he returned to the sect and never came out again, even though he hated him to the bone, there was nothing he could do.

But the problem is, now he has left the sect!There is no impenetrable wall in this world, once he knows where he is hiding, he will not personally come and destroy him.

"How does he know that I killed his nephew?" Tangning asked. At that time, there were so many people fighting everywhere, and he didn't know who the disciple of the Demon Sect who died was. How did the Corpse Puppet Sect know his name? of?
Li Pingfeng said: "After the battle between Xuanmen and Demon, Mozong considered that you are the elite disciples selected by Xuanmen, and you must be the backbone of their respective sects in the future, so they collected the intelligence information of all Xuanmen disciples in that battle. , and made a corresponding combat power ranking."

"Zhuang Xinqian, Qin Tianjiao is at the top of the list. You killed Liu Zitai for punishing him. Excluding those dead Taoist monks, you are ranked thirty-second among the remaining forty-eight people."

I didn't expect that Mozong's consideration was quite far-reaching, and even ranked in any combat power list.Tangning frowned and pondered. Now that she was being targeted by a Golden Core cultivator and she had escaped the protection of the sect, if her whereabouts were revealed, the consequences would be disastrous.

I can only hope that after so many years, the Jindan cultivator has forgotten about this matter, otherwise it will be really difficult for him to move forward.

"Li Daoyou, what is the name of the Jindan cultivator from your branch? Is the reward order still high on the list of the corpse puppet sect?"

"My Golden Core cultivator is named Deng Xuanfan. As for the reward order, there is no such thing. He just said that and let it go. You don't need to worry too much, Tang Daoyou. He hasn't mentioned this matter for so many years. It may have been a long time ago. Just forget about it." Seeing his worried face, Li Pingfeng said
Hearing what he said, Tangning felt a little relieved.

Du Yuankai said: "Friend Li Daoist, have there been any unusual actions in the Corpse Puppet Sect recently?"

Li Pingfeng said: "Corpse Puppet Sect's main energy now is to govern internal affairs, and seek development based on Qinchuan and Longyou. I transferred the general altar to Qinchuan to take charge of the eastern affairs. So smart."

"Recently, I heard that the Demon Sect intends to expand the spirit beast industry. The senior monks of the Youmei Sect have gone to the big islands in Qinghai to discuss matters such as the supply of spirit beasts with the chamber of commerce and the aristocratic family."

"Once they negotiate with those chambers of commerce and aristocratic families and solve the problem of sales channels, the spirit beast industry will be on the right track and large-scale cultivation will be carried out. The practice families under the jurisdiction of the Demon Sect are very interested in large-scale cultivation of spirit beasts and are willing to cooperate. .”

Du Yuankai said: "The main purpose of coming here today is to introduce Junior Brother Tang and fellow Taoists. The contact method remains the same before. If there is any change in the Demon Sect, fellow Taoists can get in touch with Junior Brother Tang."

Li Pingfeng nodded.

"I'll take my leave first, and see you later."

After finishing speaking, the two of them turned into light and left.

"Senior Brother Du, who is this Li Pingfeng? How did you develop him into an insider?" Tangning asked

Du Yuankai said: "I didn't develop this person. It's a pawn left behind by Senior Brother Wang Quan, the head of the previous Silver Fox Station. Li Pingfeng was originally from Huayang County. His mother attracted the attention of the disciples of the Demon Sect because of her beauty. His father killed and occupied his mother."

"Li Pingfeng vowed to take revenge, and happened to meet Senior Brother Wang. Senior Brother Wang saw that he had spiritual roots, so he asked the insiders of the Demon Sect to arrange him into the Corpse Puppet Sect. Senior Brother Wang handed this person over to me when he left office. Later, he succeeded in building the foundation and became an important member of our Corpse Puppet Sect."

Tangning nodded, "I see."

Du Yuankai said with a smile: "Now he is the real veteran of the three dynasties."

…………

In Gufang City, Tainan, in Baoxing Inn, Du Yuankai inserted a bouquet of delicate peonies in the water pavilion in the back courtyard.

At night, a man came straight to their door and knocked on the door.
...............

After running around for a month or two, Du Yuankai led him around and met with insiders from various forces.

When the two returned to their hiding place in the Xuanyuan Mountains in the Central Plains, Ren An sent a large stack of files, which were all submitted by the intelligence personnel this month. After Du Yuankai read them one by one, he handed them to Tangning.

The content of the dossier is mostly trivial and trivial matters.

For example, a prominent member of a cultivating family is dissatisfied with Taoism and makes some extreme remarks.

A certain disciple in the Corpse Puppet Sect succeeded in attacking the Foundation Establishment.

There are many shops in the chamber of commerce that have contact with the disciples of the devil sect, and so on.

Du Yuankai picked out some valuable intelligence information, turned his right hand and took out a small three-inch seal, stamped it, signed it, and asked Ren An to forward it to the sect, then turned to Tang Ning and said, "The information presented by various places is too large. Miscellaneous, here we first go through one side of the screening, take the more important and valuable information and present it, and the rest will not be used.”

"Is there a relative standard?"

"Generally, as long as it is linked to the Demon Sect, or the information related to the Foundation Establishment monks must be reported." As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

"Come in."

A beautiful young woman walked in from outside the door, it was Xu Qingwan.

"Xu Daoyou, you're here, what's the matter?"

Xu Qingwan said: "Emissary Du Xian, the Lingshi subsidy allocated by your ancestor last time is less than [-], do you want to apply for a subsidy again?"

Du Yuankai nodded: "You write a dossier and list the details of the accounts. I will report to the sect and ask for a subsidy from the spirit stone."

Xu Qingwan took out a dossier from her sleeve robe and handed it to him, "This is the account made by my concubine the day before yesterday. Please read it through the envoy Du Xian. If there are any deficiencies, please correct it."

Du Yuankai took the file and unfolded it to read it again: "Junior Brother Tang, what do you think?"

Tangning took a look and saw that there was a page full of accounts lined up in columns and columns, which were clear and clear at a glance, and every income and expenditure was very detailed.

He looked down, and suddenly saw a line of accounts that read: Chen Xun, a disciple of the corpse puppet sect who instigated rebellion, paid one thousand spirit stones, and rewarded intelligence personnel with two hundred spirit stones.

He remembered Du Yuankai said that it only cost [-] spirit stones to instigate Chen Xun's rebellion, but now he paid [-] spirit stones in the account, which is more than four times the actual cost. The account is about the same ratio.

The entire dossier is listed in detail, with a total expenditure of [-] spirit stones. At the end of the dossier, it is written: Due to the shortage of funds for the information station, there are no more than [-] spirit stones left, so I am applying for a subsidy of [-] spirit stones from the sect .

"Fellow Daoist Xu, when was the last time you applied for a subsidy from the sect?" Tangning asked

Xu Qingwan said: "Three years ago."

"What was the last time you applied for a subsidy?"

"Fifty thousand spirit stones."

Du Yuankai said: "Junior Brother Tang, you don't know that our entire information station needs to be spent on various aspects, and the funds allocated by the Zongmen every year are far from enough. We can only apply for subsidies from the Zongmen. It has been like this for so many years. , the department and sect are aware of our situation."

Tangning stopped talking.

Du Yuankai said: "Fellow Daoist Xu, I know about this matter, I will present this file to the sect later, you go first!"

"The concubine is leaving." Xu Qingwan turned and left.

"Junior Brother Tang, I just wanted to have a detailed talk with you about the funding. It happened that Fellow Daoist Xu came to report, so I'll tell you straight! Do you like it?"

"Please enlighten Senior Brother Du."

Du Yuankai said: "I won't talk about all the miscellaneous things about the various departments of our sect, you know it well."

"I'm just talking about the affairs of this site. There is a saying that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. If the people below want to do their best, it is impossible not to give enough food and grass, especially if most of them are not disciples of the sect. , although they are all recruited after selection, it is impossible to expect them to be single-minded in the sect."

"If you want to restrain them and not make them disagree, you need kindness and strength. You understand this truth!"
