Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 296
Tang Ning said, "Senior Brother Du's words are right. This ant egg is not a valuable item. It's fine to give it to Senior Brother Lu. It's just that when I got the ant egg, I signed a secret law contract with it. It can't be changed."

Du Yuankai was slightly taken aback, and said with a smile: "I don't know anything about the way of spirit beasts. I don't know that there is such a relationship between them. If that's the case, I won't elaborate."

"This method won't work, senior brother Lu may be even more angry at me, I hope senior brother Du can say a few good words at that time."

"I think he should be able to understand that I have promised Brother Tang about subsidizing spirit stones, so naturally I will not renege on my promise, but whether Brother Lu will follow my suggestion is not up to me to decide."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Du. Let me go." Tangning got up and said, left her cave, and left the sect after reporting to the Hushan Division.

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

At night, in Lu Xingxian's cave mansion, Du Yuankai sat opposite to him: "I told him about it, but he was not very happy. He said that he had signed a contract with the ant eggs. I don't know if it's true or not. It looks like he won't hand over the ant eggs. from."

Lu Xingxian snorted coldly: "He took advantage of the information from the intelligence department to find the treasure that those cultivators were looking for, and got the ant egg at the bottom of Changliu Lake thinking that no one would know, and wanted to take it all for himself. There is such a good thing."

"I dare say that it is absolutely impossible for him to get only one ant egg. I asked Junior Brother Qiu, and the rhinoceros ant lives in groups, so it will not just lay one ant egg."

"They hid at the bottom of Changliu Lake for many years, why did they suddenly come out recently to cause disasters? Now the ant nest at the bottom of Changliu Lake is empty. He must have taken away the ant eggs left in the ant nest. Hundreds of thousands of rhinoceros ants poured out of the bottom of the lake just to find him."

Du Yuankai pondered: "But he insisted that he picked it up by accident, and we can't force him if he doesn't hand it over."

"It depends on his choice. If he still wants the spirit stone subsidized by the sect, he will honestly hand over the ant eggs. I don't want much. If he is reluctant to part with this, then he doesn't want anything. We talked, and when he comes to you in the future, he can explain my attitude to him."

Du Yuankai nodded.

…………

When Tangning returned to the Qianjun Mountain intelligence station, everyone stood up and saluted.

"Go ask Fellow Daoist Xu to come over."

"Yes." A disciple replied

Not long after, Xu Qingwan pushed the door open and entered.

"This is the [-] Lingshi funds issued by the sect. You are in charge of it all. You have to think carefully about how to survive for five years." Tangning handed her the storage bag.

Xu Qingwan was slightly taken aback. Before, Du Yuankai handed over the spirit stones to her in batches, [-] each time. Now that he suddenly took over such a large amount of spirit stones all at once, he was quite caught off guard.

But what surprised her even more was Tangning's words. What did they mean?Relying on these [-] spirit stones alone for five years, what about the subsidy cost?
She pondered for a while: "With these spirit stones alone, I'm afraid it won't last five years."

"That can't be helped, you can figure it out! Anyway, all the financial rights are handed over to you. Let me tell you the truth! From now on, our intelligence station should not count on any subsidy from spirit stones."

"Why? Could it be that the last sect changed the rules and stopped granting subsidies?"

"It has nothing to do with the Zongmen. It's because some people don't deal with me very much, but instead implicate you. You can take the part of the Lingshi subsidy from here! How much you take is up to you, the premise is to ensure the operation of the intelligence station .”

Xu Qingwan frowned slightly: "But, Du Xianshi used to apply for subsidies every time before, if not..."

Tangning waved her hand, "He's him, I'm me. You don't quite understand what's going on in the sect. In short, make a plan for it. They're going too far, so I'll quit."

"Hmph, don't think that I, Tang, are easy to bully, and you can let them make fun of you. Whoever can't pick someone up, and whoever wants to take care of this shit, let's do it!"

Seeing his appearance, Xu Qingwan seemed to have suffered a lot during this trip to Emperor Yizong, so she stopped talking and left the room silently.

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

Three hundred miles east of Tianlan County, there is a small town.

The town was sparsely populated. A seven or eight-year-old girl, wearing worn-out and patched clothes, knelt on the side of the road with disheveled hair and lowered her eyes.Next to her was an old woman who was blind, kneeling beside her.

In front of the two of them was a dead body, wrapped in a straw mat, with several lines of delicate handwriting written on the ground.

It turned out that the corpse was the old woman's son, and the little girl next to her was her granddaughter.

The family lives in Taoliu Village, [-] miles away. A month ago, a thief passed by. He took a fancy to the beauty of the old woman and granddaughter, so he snatched her away.

The old woman and her son and granddaughter made many inquiries and found out the whereabouts of the thief, but reported to the government but no one paid any attention, so the three of them went to his mansion to seek justice, but before entering the mansion, the old woman and son were beaten to death by the servants of the mansion.

The old woman and the little granddaughter were distraught, with no way to go to heaven and no way to go down to earth.

I had no choice but to drag my son's body all the way home.

Ever since her grandson was captured and her son died, the old woman shed tears day and night, blinding her eyes.

The little girl can read and write, and under the planning of her neighbors in her hometown, she came to the small town to sell herself for revenge.

As long as I can avenge my father, I would like to be a slave for life.The last sentence of the text says so.

A lot of people gathered in front of the two of them, talking a lot, some shook their heads and sighed, some pityed and comforted them.

"Aunt Pan, listen to my advice and bury Pan Ge'er first. In this weather, the body will stink within a few days. It's better to go to the ground after death. As for revenge, we'll talk about it later, you guys Kneeling like this is not an option to dump Pan Geer's corpse on the street. We will pay for the burial." An acquaintance said.

The old woman shook her head and wept, "My old woman buried most of her body in the loess. I didn't think the white-haired man would give the black-haired man away. If anyone can avenge my son, in the next life, they will tie a knot of grass to repay their great kindness."

"Even if you don't think about yourself, the child is still so young, you have to think about the future." Another person said.

"If you can avenge your father, you will be willing to be a slave." The girl's voice was cold.

Everyone comforted them one after another, but the mother and grandson remained unmoved, and the onlookers left one by one.

At night, the moon hangs high, the streets are clear and cold, and there is no one there.

The old woman and the girl were still kneeling on the side of the road. An old man with a stooped body and a bright head came from the east and walked in front of them. The girl looked up at him.

"I see you kneeling here for three days. It's useless. Those thieves are not simple. Ordinary people can't provoke them." The old man said
"Brother, do you know who harmed my son?" the old woman hurriedly asked
"Is his mansion in the west of Tianlan County, with the word Jinfu written on it?"

"That's right, we heard from someone in the teahouse that sister was kidnapped by them. My father and I went to find them. Those people were unreasonable and beat my father to death. If the old man can avenge my father, I will die in my life." In this life, I would like to serve you for the rest of my life." The little girl said.

The old man smiled: "I don't want you to serve me, and I don't have the ability to avenge you, and those who have that ability will not avenge you."

When the old woman heard this, she wept bitterly, but the little girl remained silent.

"If you are willing to be my apprentice, I can show you a clear way, or you can get revenge." The old man said

"As long as you can avenge your father, follow your orders."

The old man said: "Then the Jin family is a powerful local, not to mention robbing a girl or killing an old man. Even if you slaughter your town, no one will say anything, let alone seek justice from them. With this Capable people will not make life difficult for them for some trivial things."

"Today counts as your luck. I met an old man. I have a predestined relationship with you, and I will show you a clear path."

"There is a high mountain in Yuyuan County, named Longtou Mountain. It is not far from here, only five hundred miles away. There is a man in the mountain who is good at meddling in other people's affairs and fighting injustices. This person is the only one in the world who will help you avenge you. You go to him and say For this matter, he will definitely come out.

"Who is that person? Can Uncle take me to beg him?" the girl asked
"He is a friend of mine. If I take you there, it will cause him dissatisfaction and miss your business. You need to go to him by yourself. I will wait for you at Longtou Mountain." After the old man finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared.

Seeing him disappearing like a ghost, the girl was dumbfounded and at a loss.

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

In the deep mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, a ray of light fell straight down, and in front of a cave, the figure of an old man with a bright head appeared.

With a wave of his hand, a piece of talisman was handed into the cave.

Not long after, a figure flashed out from inside and landed in front of the old man, showing the figure of a man, but he was very handsome with sword eyebrows and star eyes.

"Brother Qin, rare guest, rare guest, your brother is far away in Qi country, why did you come to me, please come in quickly." The man enthusiastically pulled the old man's arm and walked in.

"I don't have anything to do, I'm wandering around, passing by here, I know your brother is here, so I came to see it." The old man said, and followed him into the cave.

This cave is very simple, with only two rooms, one master and one slave.

There is only a stone table and a stone bed in the main room, and nothing else.

The two sat opposite each other.The old man took out a jar of wine from the storage bag, and took out two cups: "I know your brother likes this thing, so I brought it here for you. How would you like it?"

The man picked up the wine glass and took a sip, but he felt that his mouth was full of fragrance. The wine entered his stomach and felt the hot surge in his body, which caused the spiritual power in Linghai acupoint to surge, and he couldn't help but praise: "The fruit is good wine."

"You and I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, today is the time to get drunk." The old man picked up the wine glass, and the two drank it down in one gulp.

"Brother Qin, how do you know I'm here?"

"It's a coincidence. A few days ago, I met fellow Daoist Diao. He told me you were here, so he came to look for you. There was an interesting incident on the way."

"Oh? What's interesting."

"I have fallen in love with a young girl with good talent, and I want to take her as my apprentice and pass on my mantle."

"Brother Qin has always been his home all over the world. He is alone and free and easy. How could he think of accepting his apprentice to pass on the mantle."
