Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 327 Clues
"Is there anything else?" Tangning sat on the main seat and asked the man below.

"No, that's all I know." The man said with his head shrugged.

After capturing the white tiger, Tangning took him back to Tianling Mountain, recounted the abnormalities in his body, and told him that all the high-level personnel of the Immortal Cult were captured.Seeing this, the man didn't struggle much, and confessed what he knew and saw truthfully.

In fact, Tang Ning already knew what he said, and it was no different from what Xu Ru said, and the value was not high.

"Come here," Tangning said
A disciple walked in from the outside and saluted: "Master, what are your orders?"

"Take this person and Xu Ru back to the sect and send them to the Forbidden Secret Division."

"Yes." The disciple followed the order and escorted the man out.

So far, all the core members of the Immortal Cult have been captured. Tangning ordered the remaining disciples to return to the sect after the operation is over. The rest of the low-level casual cultivators are no longer worth arresting.

Everyone left Tianling Mountain one after another and returned to the sect. The next day.

He was about to leave the mountain, and when he came out of the wooden house, he saw a man with big ears on one side waiting in front of the door.

He almost forgot about this person, and since he brought him to Tianling Mountain, he has never cared about this person, and he has been staying in Tianling Mountain to practice during this time.

At this moment, Tangning saw him waiting at the door of the wooden house like a rotating disciple, and asked strangely, "Why are you here?"

Chi Yinglong said: "Yesterday, I saw the disciples of the noble sect leaving one after another, even the sentry post in front of the wooden house. I thought that there was no one to take care of me, so I made an arbitrarily proposition to replace the sentry disciples and wait for orders at any time."

"The matter of the Immortal Sect is over. They will naturally return to the sect, so you should go too! No one from the Immortal Sect will trouble you again."

Chi Yinglong suddenly knelt in front of him on one knee and said: "This junior is bold, I have a heartless request, I hope senior will agree."

Tangning frowned slightly, "What's the matter?"

Crinkle Yinglong said: "The younger generation has received the great kindness of the senior, and there is no way to repay it. If the senior does not abandon it, I will be willing to hold the whip and throw the stirrup for the senior in the future, in order to repay the senior for saving my life."

Tang Ning was about to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind. Although he was the head of the Silver Fox Intelligence Station, the current staff of the Intelligence Station were all promoted and appointed by Du Yuankai, and he had no confidants. My eyes and ears are pretty good, so I said, "Do you know my identity?"

"The younger generation has practiced in this mountain for half a year. I have heard people say that I know that the senior is a monk of the Qianyi sect's intelligence department."

"Since you know that I am a student of the intelligence department, you must have guessed that my main job is to listen to information, and I need to deal with people of all religions and ranks, including the disciples of the Demon Sect. It is necessary to deal with some complicated and dangerous things in between. One mistake may be life-threatening No guarantee, have you thought about it?"

"The life of this junior was originally saved by the senior. There are mountains of swords and fire, and there is no regret in death."

Tangning didn't say much, and with a wave of her hand, the spiritual power around her body was wrapped in light, and she walked away for several hours to Qianjun Mountain.

"Uncle Tang, Senior Tang." Everyone stood up and saluted when they saw him come back.

Tangning paused, pointed at Chi Yinglong and said, "From now on, he will join our intelligence station, Ren An, arrange a specific matter for him."

"Yes." A disciple replied

"Crane Yinglong, you follow their arrangements. If you have anything to do, you can come to me directly."

"Yes."

Tangning returned to her room. Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Kong Ji pushed the door in with a file in his hand, "Uncle Master, this is the news about the file from various intelligence agencies recently."

Most of the dossiers are about the intrigue of various families, and some are about the Corpse Puppet Sect.He left the intelligence station for more than half a year, and Xu Qingwan and Zheng Wei had full authority to handle the matter.Unless there is a particularly urgent intelligence message, it will be sent to Tianling Mountain.

"Why is there no news from Zhu Maoqing? Didn't he ask him to inquire and report Zhu Mingxuan's physical condition at any time? Why hasn't there been any information for more than half a year?" Tangning asked after looking through the pages and finding no reports about Zhu's family.

"No one has seen Zhu Mingxuan since his last appearance. It is said that he is still recovering from his injuries. Naturally, Zhu Maoqing has no contact with him, so there is no news to send."

Tangning closed the file, "Did you see the person I brought here just now?"

"The disciple has seen it."

"His name is Chi Yinglong, a native of Beiyuan. Please check his past carefully."

"Yes." Kong Ji replied, opened his mouth, and hesitated to speak.

"What's the matter? Say what you have to say."

"Does Cree Yinglong want to stay in our intelligence station? According to regulations, the intelligence station has only [-] personnel, and it is already full. If there are more personnel, the Zongmen will not pay the corresponding salary funds. We need our information." Stand by yourself and pay."

"You don't need to worry about this. I will greet Fellow Daoist Xu about the salary. A qi refining disciple doesn't need many spirit stones a year. You just need to find out his details."

"Yes."

"Go ahead!"

Kong Ji retreated in response.

Tangning patted the spirit animal bag, and a white shadow flashed out. The body of the little white snake swelled against the wind and surrounded him. Its huge head rested on his shoulder, and it kept sticking out its scarlet tongue.

During this period of time, Tangning stayed in Tianling Mountain and rarely released it.

So it was "liberated" this time, and it seemed very excited. Its huge body swam around him constantly, sometimes rubbing its head against him, and sometimes spitting out a message and sweeping across his palm.

Tangning caressed its huge head, turned her left hand, and took out two vitality pills. The little white snake swallowed them in one roll, then straightened her body, rolled several times, revealing her snow-white belly, and then Squeeze your body into a ball, retract your head into your body.

………………

Half a month passed in a flash, and on this day, Kong Ji came to his room again with the file: "Master, this is the news from the sect just now."

Tang Ning took it over and saw that there was a new development in the matter of the corpse worm. Lu Xingxian asked him to return to the Zongmen to discuss the matter.

After such a long time, only new progress has been made. It seems that the final mastermind behind the scenes has not been found out, otherwise he would not have been asked to return to the sect.

That night, he left the intelligence station and headed southeast, and after two days of walking, he arrived at Lu Xingxian's Cave Mansion.

"You're here, sit down!" Lu Xingxian said.

Tangning sat down as she said, "I rushed over overnight after receiving a letter from the sect. How is the investigation of the corpse bug going?"

"The Forbidden Secret Division obtained Phoenix's memory through secret techniques, and found that part of his memory was also incomplete. There is no memory of how he became the host of corpse insects at all."

Tangning pondered, "In other words, I don't know how the mastermind behind the scenes turned them into this appearance. Do you have any clues about the mastermind behind the scenes?"

"Unlike the others, in his memory, he took the initiative to accept this matter."

"Actively accept, why?"

Lu Xingxian said: "Phoenix's original name is Jiang Taihua, and he is a casual cultivator in the Qi Kingdom. He has already run out of fuel and his lifespan is approaching. He was about to die, and he even chose the cave where he would die. Suddenly one day, a The man found him and claimed that he could help him continue his life, but the memory after that was very vague, after some discussion between the two, Jiang Taihua finally agreed to the man, and the memory after that was gone.”

"It wasn't until he woke up again that the man appeared in his memory again. There was nearly a year in between, and the memory area was blank."

Tangning said, "So, that man should be the helmsman behind the scenes. The one-year memory blank area should be the period when he became the host of corpse insects. What is that man's cultivation level?"

"According to his memory, he cultivated in the late stage of foundation establishment. The specific identity is not yet known. The man appeared in his memory three times, each time wearing a bamboo hat and wearing a black robe. The first time was Jiang Taihua At the place where he was about to sit down, he appeared in his cave, told him the way to continue his life, and turned him into a corpse host."

"The second time was when Jiang Taihua became the host of the corpse worm. After waking up in a barren mountain, the man was beside him. The two had a conversation about the corpse worm in his body."

"The third time was a year later. The man found him again and learned about his physical condition. Since then, he has never appeared again. After that time, Jiang Taihua came to Chu State. After that, he successively found several companions and established the immortal teach."

Tang Ning recalled that Jiang Taihua once said that this old life should have come to an end, probably referring to the fact that his lifespan is short!No wonder he looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, so he refuses to speak. It turns out that he has already made a plan to die.

For a person who is near the end of his lifespan, all threats seem to be very powerless, at most they are just death.

"What did they talk about?"

Lu Xingxian turned his left hand, took out a file, and handed it to him, "This is the file report on Jiang Taihua's memory read by the Forbidden Secret Division. The Intelligence Division and the Inspection Division each have a copy. You can read it yourself!"

Tangning took the file and opened it to read, but saw that there were dense rows of words on it, most of which were in the form of dialogues.Among them are three dialogues between the man in black robe and Jiang Taihua.

The first dialogue records the beginning of their meeting. The main content is that the man bewitched Jiang Taihua to become the host of corpse insects, and promised to extend his lifespan.

The second conversation recorded that after Jiang Taihua woke up, the man told him about the magical functions of corpse insects in his body, including being able to sense his companions, eating the flesh and blood of monks, which would help increase spiritual power, etc. In their dialogue, the corpse insects were called the source of immortality. .

The third conversation recorded that after Jiang Taihua retreated for a year, the man found him again and learned about his physical condition. Afterwards, the man said that the development of the corpse worm was very stable and he could move around freely.
