Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 300
Xiao Mobai said in a loud voice: "If the world is to be peaceful, it is not enough to rely on individuals to fight against the strong and help the weak. What is needed is order and rules. It cannot be accomplished by a few people's enthusiasm. This move will establish a strong and orderly empire, and return the world to a bright future."

Tang Ning said: "Brother Xiao has the heart to hide the universe, and the ambition to swallow the world. Tang admires him very much, but he disagrees with what he said."

Xiao Mobai said: "What advice does Fellow Daoist Tang have?"

Tang Ning said with a smile, "I don't have the ambitions of a fellow Taoist. The ups and downs of the world cannot be controlled by me. But in my humble opinion, rather than opening up the world and rebuilding the universe, it's better to make the best use of the situation and push the boat forward."

"What do you mean by that?"

Tang Ning said, "You Daoist Xiao said that order and rules are needed for peace in the world. Of course you are right. Is there no order and rules now? If it weren't for the rise of the demon sect and the rivalry between the demon clans, why would there be so many disputes in the world?"

"The cost of opening up a new empire is too high, and it will inevitably affect the interests of the four major sects, aristocratic families, chambers of commerce, etc. , making slight adjustments to the original rules, so as to avoid conflicts to the greatest extent.”

Xiao Mobai said: "Tang Daoyou's words are too ideal and unrealistic. If the world is a giant, the four great sects are like four cancers attached to the giant, sucking its blood day after day. Today The disease has penetrated into the bone marrow, even if the wrist and tail are cut off, it cannot be regenerated, only uprooted, completely eradicated or there is a chance of survival."

Tang Ning said, "If the cancer is cured, the person will die, so there is no chance of survival."

Qin Zhaoxian said with a smile: "What both of you said makes sense. From my point of view, the reason why you and I embarked on the road of cultivation is nothing more than for the sake of longevity. If you don't have longevity, you should choose the next best thing, and you have to be at ease. , As for the situation in the world, there is no need to worry about it."

The three of them drank a lot, until they got drunk at night, Tangning rested at Qin Zhaoxian's house for the whole night, said goodbye and left the next day.Along the way, through clouds and fog, across rivers and mountains, I suddenly saw two shadows chasing in mid-air below.

He stopped and looked intently, there was a person in front of him stepping on a flying sword, and his green clothes looked like Qian Yizong's clothes.

...............

Zhao Liheng saw that the distance between the two was getting closer and closer, and his heart became anxious. Yu Jian went down the canyon. The figure behind him was less than fifty feet away.

Before the knife fell, the huge spiritual pressure had already pressed him to the point where he could barely breathe.

My life is over.He thought in his heart, making the last resistance of the trapped beast, and the long sword struck head-on.

Kacha, the moment the two hit each other, the long sword broke inch by inch, and the man with the black sword shining brightly couldn't open his eyes.

With a sound of "bang", the golden knife did not fall, but a golden bowl with a size of [-] zhang shot towards the black knife from the left side, the black knife was hit by this blow, and shot backwards, spinning continuously in the air.

Seeing this change in expression, a man in the rear did not hesitate at all, and with a move of his hand, retracted the black knife, turning himself into a light and leaving.

Tang Ning fell to the disciple's side, seeing the man running away, she didn't chase after him.

"Disciple Zhao Liheng pays homage to Master Tang." Zhao Liheng was surprised and happy for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and hurriedly bowed to salute.

"Who is he?"

"I don't know. My disciple, Zhou Xuan and Wang Yang were ordered by the department to capture the host of the corpse insect. I met this person. For some reason, it suddenly attacked the three of us. Junior brother Zhou Xuan and I separated and fled. Brother Xuan has already been murdered by him, and he came to chase me again, if not for Master Tang, this disciple's life would be over!"

"Oh? Where did you meet him?"

"Ten miles away from here, in a mountain forest. The disciple was chasing a corpse insect host. The person fell behind the mountain forest and disappeared. Immediately afterwards, this person appeared. Junior brother Wang Yang was murdered, and the two of us separated and fled, he first chased Junior Brother Zhou Xuan, and then chased me, as if there was some deep hatred."

Tangning was silent for a while, could this person be the corpse insect host of the Foundation Establishment period that Lu Xingxian mentioned?After a monk is possessed by a corpse worm, it cannot be seen from the surface. Only when the monk becomes ill will he show his madness, and he is no different from an ordinary person.

If this is the case, I shouldn't let him go so easily. The corpse insect host in the foundation establishment period must know some things behind it, and it itself has high research value, or it can solve the mystery of the corpse insect.

Seeing his appearance, Zhao Liheng asked, "Uncle Tang, is there anything weird about this person?"

"As expected, this person should also be the host of corpse insects."

Zhao Liheng was startled: "Even Foundation Establishment monks will be controlled by corpse insects?"

"It's just a guess, maybe it's not, just be more careful in the future."

"Yes."

Tang Ning glanced at him and said, "Since you have cultivated to the tenth level of Qi Refining, why don't you apply to the sect to prepare for foundation building? Now that the demon sect is rising, peace is only short-lived, and the station will open sooner or later. Only by improving your own strength, Only then can there be more security guarantees, like your cultivation level, once the war starts, you don't even have the qualifications to be cannon fodder."

"This disciple has long had the intention to put down mundane affairs and concentrate on building the foundation. However, senior brother Zhu of the team has already applied for foundation building, so the department department temporarily appointed me to handle the affairs of the team, so I can't get away."

"You have practiced for nearly [-] years now! I remember when I was an envoy, it was the [-]th year of Dao Ding. It's been so many years. You are now a solid disciple of the department." Tang Ning He said with emotion that Zhao Liheng was the poor kid who rode an ox and went to school by himself when he issued the Zongmen token.

"I didn't expect Uncle Tang to remember me." Zhao Liheng was slightly shocked. He thought Tangning had already forgotten about it, so he kept silent.

"At the beginning, Zongmen gave me ten tokens. I traveled all over Xingang and found ten people. You are my most satisfied candidate. How could I forget it?"

"Without the great kindness of my uncle, how could my disciple get this opportunity? This matter has always been deeply in my heart."

Tangning waved her hand and said, "It's not about being kind or not, I'm just following orders. Your cultivation today is entirely on your own, and has nothing to do with me. Do you have all the foundation building materials?"

"It hasn't been long since the disciple broke through the tenth floor, and he is still far from foundation establishment, so he hasn't prepared yet."

"If you have any difficulties at that time, you can come to me. Building a foundation is a matter of life and death, and you need to go all out, and don't be careless. You and I are destined, and we are old friends, so don't feel sorry. I am not in the sect, you can find Zhu Xu Brother, he has a way to notify me."

"Thank you, uncle."

Tangning didn't say any more, she disappeared and returned to the Qianjun Mountain intelligence station.

Several months passed by, Tangning was sitting cross-legged in the room, the little white snake curled up around him.

Kong Ji pushed the door open, holding a scroll in his hand: "Uncle Tang, this is a memorial from Beiyuan."

Tangning took it and glanced at it. It was about the Jin family. Zuo Tongming had already selected a candidate and was about to carry out a plan to instigate rebellion.

This person's name is Jin Guang, he has five levels of Qi refining, he likes to gamble, he is a playboy, he manages an ore field, often uses public funds, and even steals ore for private sales.

Zuo Tongming has arranged for people to contact him, drag him into the water step by step, and when he has nowhere to go, he will reveal his identity and force him to be an insider of the Jin family.

The specific plan is to use his gambling nature to lure him into misappropriating a large amount of the Jin family's public funds. When he is stuck in the mud and cannot mend the hole, he will return the Lingshi for him and ask him to inquire about the Jin family's information as a debt. repayment of capital.

"Leave this matter to Fellow Daoist Zheng! As for the cost of the Lingshi, ask Fellow Daoist Xu to settle it."

"Yes, disciple will leave." Kong Ji replied

"Invite Fellow Daoist Xu here, I have something to discuss with her."

Kong Ji took the order to leave, and Xu Qingwan arrived not long after, "Tang Immortal Envoy, what can I order?"

Tang Ning said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, it's been more than two years since our intelligence station applied for Lingshi subsidy last time! Can we apply again?"

"Yes, the time is almost up, but last time you said that you should stop thinking about the Lingshi subsidy from Shangzong, I..."

"Alas!" Tangning interrupted her with a wave of her hand, "I still have to write. As for whether they will give it or not, that's another matter."

"I see, now I'm going to write the dossier report for applying for subsidies."

"Well, do it in detail, and explain the difficulties of our intelligence station clearly. If you don't approve Lingshi, then let them come!"

Xu Qingwan didn't answer, and silently exited.

The next day, Xu Qingwan came to Tangning's room again and handed over the prepared report to him for review.

There are five pages in the dossier, which neatly and densely record all the income and expenses of the past two years.

Tang Ning added two lines at the end: In view of the current financial situation of the intelligence station, without the subsidy of Lingshi, many intelligence work would be unsustainable.

After he finished writing, Shu put his name on it, and then returned it to Xu Qingwan: "Give it to Kong Ji, and let him submit it to the sect immediately."

His last inscription was for Lu Xingxian, and the meaning was obvious. If he got in the way and restricted himself in the Lingshi subsidy, then he would stop working hard on these things, and don't even think about contributing on his own in the future.

...............

At night, dark clouds cover the moon, and the stars are dim.

In front of the Xingxian Cave Mansion of Fenglu Xingxian, Qianyi Zong's middle finger, a ray of light fell, revealing an old man with a bright head, it was Du Yuankai.

With a wave of his hand, the talisman was thrown into the dense fog, and after a while, the dense fog churned.

Du Yuankai went straight in, and when he reached the main room, Jishou saluted and said, "Senior brother Lu, why are you calling me late at night?"

"Junior Brother Du is here, sit down! Look at this." Lu Xingxian took out a file and handed it to him: "This is from the Silver Fox Intelligence Station today."

Du Yuankai took it and opened it for a look, until he saw the last two lines, he frowned slightly: "What does Junior Brother Tang mean?"

Lu Xingxian sneered and said, "This is a showdown with me! Has he approached you before?"

"Since he had a talk with me half a year ago, he hasn't seen me again. It seems that he is still angry."

"What's your idea?"

Du Yuankai pondered and said: "I think it's better not to make a fuss too stiff. This matter is beneficial to him and not harmful to me. It is not beneficial to be a villain. Seeing that his posture will not regress, we might as well allow him this time, and the future will be long. After we have grasped his handle, it will not be too late to force him to submit."

"I would like to trouble you, go find out his tone, and talk to him. Tell him, we know that he has more than one ant egg on his body, as long as he is willing to hand it over, the Zongmen spirit stone subsidy will never happen." Don't embarrass him any more."
