Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"You." The man surnamed Wu was speechless for a moment, his face turned red, and he said angrily: "You are seeking death."

After speaking, he waved his hand and a dark green sword shot towards him.

Tang Ning had never fought against a monk before. She didn't know the strength of a tenth-level Qi Refining monk, so she didn't dare to fight head-on. She dodged the sword by diving into the ground. When the man saw him ducking into the ground, he was a little surprised and let out a light sigh.

Tang Ning fled underground for more than ten feet before appearing. When the man saw him appearing, he was about to do something, but his left arm was grabbed by an unusually thick hand.

He struggled, but could not move at all. The man was startled and said angrily, "You half-demon, are you trying to help people from other sects deal with your fellow sects?"

Yu Feixiong said: "Senior Brother Wu, we are all Daoists of Xuanmen. Let's stop this matter! Don't hurt your harmony."

The man was shocked and angry. He knew that this non-demon master had a physical body, was invulnerable to swords and guns, and was invulnerable to water and fire. His strength was astonishing. At this moment, he was close to him and held his arms. If they started fighting, he would suffer a big loss. The boy looked quite capable, so he had to suppress his anger: "Okay, let's leave it at that."

Yu Feixiong let go of his hand, and the man glanced at the two of them hatefully: "Okay, okay, you, a half-demon who cheats on others, actually attacks your fellow sect, and you, a boy from Qian Yizong, I'll note it down, Shan Bu Let’s turn things around, we’ll settle the matter later.”

The man said a few harsh words, then stepped on the flying sword and left.

Tang Ning looked at the man's leaving figure and found it strange. There were clearly no monsters in Xingang, and the people here had never dealt with monsters. They had no hatred or grudges, so why were they so hostile to non-monsters? There is not only one person in Shuiyun Sect who discriminates against non-monsters like this.

He couldn't help but think of Ouyang Qing. Even the monks in Xingang hated non-monsters so much, let alone the Taixuanzong monks. Those people really had a sworn hatred against the demon clan. One can imagine how much ostracism Ouyang Qing suffered back then. Seriously, no wonder his life was in danger and he finally fled to Xingang.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist Tang." Yu Feixiong said.

"Why are you thanking me? I haven't thanked you for your intervention! You offended him this time. He won't sue the sect for harming your fellow sect when he goes back, right?" Tang Ning said.

Injuring a fellow sect is a serious crime. The first rule of the sect is not to bully the master and destroy the ancestors, nor to kill fellow sect members.

"No, it's his fault. He was the one who took action first. It would be a shame to tell anyone. Thank you for speaking up."

When he said this, Tang Ning understood. It was indeed not a shameful thing for a tenth-level Qi-refining monk to be held hostage by an eighth-level Qi-refining non-monster whom he had always looked down upon. If he told it, he would be humiliating himself and would only be ridiculed by his fellow disciples. .

"I am Yu Feixiong. I am not a demon. My father is from the Golden Bear clan and my mother is a casual cultivator from the human race. I take my mother's surname. I hope I can make friends with you."

After such an episode, the relationship between the two became much closer. As they walked on the avenue, Tangning couldn't help but ask, "Are you non-monsters ostracized in Shuiyun Sect?"

"Not everyone is like this, but some are, and they sometimes come to trouble us."

"I have never seen a non-demon before. Where do the non-demon clan live? How did they come to Shuiyun Sect?"

"The non-monster tribe is mainly concentrated in three places. One is among the millions of mountains in Liangzhou, the other is the Tiannan Marsh Forest, and the other is the Mubei Grassland. I was born in a small village in the Mubei Grassland, and the village is full of non-monsters. Monster clan, twenty years ago, many people from the Xuanmen Taoist Sect came to the Mubei Grassland, saying they wanted to recruit talented non-monsters into the Xuanmen."

"A white-bearded Taoist named Hao came to our village, selected three of us, and took us to Xingang. Finally, Shuiyun Sect accepted us."

"Are you from Mubei Grassland? How is it there? Compared to Xingang." Tangning was very interested. He saw on the map that further north of Xingang was Mubei Grassland, which was as big as any major state.

"I have never been out of the village, but I know that it is very chaotic outside. People who go out are often killed or injured. When I was a child, I saw some demons invading our village. Whether they were human, demon, or non-demon, they saw Just kill them. Many people in the village fought with them and drove them away. My father died in that battle."

"There is no place for us in the world. The Xuanmen will drive us out and kill us, and the demon clan does not regard us as members of the same clan."

"The situation got better later. I heard from the adults in the village that many Taoist people began to preach about accepting non-monsters and not to confuse non-monsters with demons. That period was the most peaceful period in our village. Those who went out There were more people, and casualties were rarely heard. Later, Xuanmen Taoist priests came to Mubei Grassland and selected talented and young children to practice in Xuanmen. "

"Before I came to Shuiyun Sect, my mother told me to practice hard and never fight with others. If others say unpleasant things, let them say it. In the future, I will strive for status for the non-monster clan and the monks like them who are with the demon clan. "

Tangning nodded, imagining their difficult situation. She didn't know what to say for a moment. Suddenly something came to her mind and she asked, "Your mother is a casual cultivator. How do casual cultivators complete the step of transformation? They don't have the resources of the sect. It’s much more difficult to imagine!”

Yu Feixiong said: "There are two types of casual cultivators. One is the succession of master and apprentice. Many older casual cultivators with no hope of success will find someone to inherit the mantle. In their later years, they will find a younger son with spiritual roots to be their apprentice. The other is the apprenticeship. It is inherited from the family, either from father to son or from grandfather to grandson, and there are also a few who have the opportunity to join the ranks of monks. "

"The process of metamorphosis is unique to the sect. The monks who have experienced metamorphosis can transform their body structure and absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth smoothly without worrying about going crazy. Casual cultivators do not have such resources. They soak their bodies with various medicinal herbs since childhood and eat Various elixirs are used to strengthen the body, and then the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is directly absorbed according to the exercises. It is very dangerous to ingest the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for the first time, because they cannot control it. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth runs rampant in the body, and people often explode and die. "

"The first three years of practice are the most critical. Inhaling the spiritual power of heaven and earth not only requires refining, but also often causes hallucinations. Once you fall into the illusion, you will become possessed."

Tang Ning asked in confusion: "Since the practice of casual cultivators is so dangerous, why don't you join the sect? Let's not talk about the master-disciple line. Why don't the elders of the family let their descendants join the sect if they are inherited from the same family?"

"The first one is that we are reluctant to separate, and we may never see each other again in the sect. The second one is that the sect's recruitment requirements are not met, and many casual cultivators have patchy spiritual qualifications, and the sect looks down on them. The third one is that casual cultivators He has always been undisciplined and likes to be at home all over the world, and cannot be restrained by the clan. "

Tang Ning thought about it and it made sense. Some people knew that their path was hopeless, so why would they join the sect and sit in the mountains all their lives? It would be better to be free and unrestrained, and live in the mortal world with fresh clothes, angry horses, and bells ringing.

"Brother Tang, where are you! How did you join the Qianyi Sect?" Yu Feixiong asked

"Me! It's a long story. It happened by chance." Tangning sighed, having nothing to hide: "Back then, I was..."

The two were walking and chatting when they suddenly heard the sound of fighting. They stopped immediately and listened carefully. There was indeed a faint sound of fighting.

"Over there." Yu Feixiong pointed to a mountain road. The two hurried over and climbed two or three mountains. They saw a man wearing Qianyi Sect Taoist uniform fighting with a monster with the head of an ox, the body of a horse, and the tail of a snake. The monster was one foot long, with blazing flames on its four legs. It spit out black clouds from its mouth and charged towards the man with great aura.

There was a big dark black boat around the man, covering his whole body. The monster hit the big black boat with a "bang", and there was a loud noise. The ground around him shook, and the leaves all over the sky fell. The monster was also knocked dizzy. , shook his head, and bumped into it again. The two shining golden horns hit the black and white croaker.

There was another loud noise followed by a slight "click" sound, and a crack appeared on the dark black boat. The monster hit it violently several times, and the dark black boat finally couldn't withstand the "crack". Broken every inch

The man jumped back, stepped on a flying sword and tried to escape. Unexpectedly, the monster was faster and caught up with the man, spitting out a stream of black smoke from its mouth and nose.

As soon as the man stepped onto the flying sword, he was enveloped in black smoke and his body fell straight down.

Tang Ning and Yu Feixiong arrived just in time to see this scene. The man wearing the Qianyi Sect Taoist uniform fell straight down from the flying sword in mid-air. He took a closer look and hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Senior Brother Wu, Senior Brother Wu. "

This person is none other than Wu Datong, his former business partner. At this moment, his whole body is black, and his breath is like a gossamer. He can only breathe out but not in. The black smoke is unknown, and even the monks cannot resist it. If he touches it, he will die.

Wu Datong felt that his consciousness was getting blurry and his whole body was in darkness. In a trance, he seemed to see the child again.

"My son, after you go, you should listen more to your great-grandpa. Do whatever your great-grandpa tells you to do. You don't have to worry about my mother." A woman with a loving face stroked the child's head and said.

When that child entered the Immortal Mountain, everything was so new. He practiced diligently every day, and in a blink of an eye for five years, he fell in love with a girl who went to the mountain with him. He secretly looked at her every day, but he never I have seen the great-great-grandfather that my mother talked about, and I almost forgot that such a great-grandfather existed.

Until, after a near-death experience, under the guidance of a man in green, he met the great-grandfather that his mother told him about.

He was very fierce and had a dark face. The young man timidly called him "grandpa."

The old man glanced at the young man, his eyes full of disgust. He waved his hand without saying a word, and a man in green clothes took the young man away.

He was assigned to the Security Department. Later he found out that this very fierce great-grandfather was a famous figure in the sect, Qin Haoran, the deacon of the Alchemy Department and the chief alchemist of Qianyi Sect.
