"The location of Qingque Mountain is so close to the battlefield in the south, hasn't the mountain gate been breached by the barbarians in the previous barbarian wars?" Jiang Ning walked to Nangong Jing's side and asked a question that was actually not very polite.

"Yes. Nangong Jing blinked, a serious way.

As if seeing the doubts in Jiang Ning's heart, Nangong Jing continued to explain: "Qingque Mountain is just a mountain gate, that is, it is occupied by others, and we can also settle down in another mountain range in the future and rename it Qingque Mountain, although it is the mountain gate of Lanque Gate, in fact, it is not very important, Tongque Terrace is not destroyed, and all mountains in the world can be Qingque Mountain." ”

Regarding the girl's explanation, Jiang Ning nodded convincingly.

In fact, even if there is no Tongquetai, as long as the Southern Tang Dynasty is not completely destroyed, Lanquemen will definitely not die.

And several barbarian crossings to the north in history, due to the suppression of Mu Tianzun at the time, none of them were able to successfully cross the Great Xia and Tang Dynasty at that time.

This time it was different, Mu Tianzun Dao fell, and the Southern Tang Lanque Gate, which bore the brunt of the attack, fell into great danger.

"Therefore, once things develop into an irreparable situation, the most important things in the door and the most core characters will be sheltered by Tongquetai at that time, and our roots will not be lost!" When he said this, half of Nangong Jing's expression was worried and helpless, and the other half was confidence in the sect where he was located.

Jiang Ning's salty 'oh' sound was a response, causing the girl next to her to roll her eyes.

Of course, Nangong Que called himself to the Lanque Gate, of course, it would not be just to fulfill his promise and let him see Que'er, what would happen at that time, Jiang Ning's heart was not at all bottom.

The only thing he knew at the moment was that in the days to come, he was afraid that there would be only grasshoppers on a rope between him and Lanquemen, and there was no other way but to help each other in the same boat.

My grandfather, who I have never met, is here, and so is Que'er.

He didn't have any choice.

Su Que is smart-minded, and during this period of time, he has followed his master Nangong Que in the Lanque Gate, and his horizons have broadened a lot, but there is still a little fog in the conversation between Jiang Ning and Nangong Mirror at the moment.

It's not that I don't understand the content of the conversation between the two of them, but I don't understand what Jiang Ning suddenly asked for.

Of course, if Jiang Ning didn't say it herself, she wouldn't ask.

You should know, he never hides himself.

The mountains are poor and the clouds are rising, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright.

In the gap between Jiang Ning, Su Que and Nangong Jing chatting with each other, the mountain gate of Lanque Gate finally appeared in front of everyone.

When they saw the low and dilapidated mountain gate that did not resemble the legendary four major sects, the mood of the disciples in the Lanque Sect team, which was originally not very good, finally improved a little.

Anyway, it's finally back.

The mountain gate is said to be the mountain gate, in fact, it is a dilapidated gatehouse set up by the village head of an ordinary village and town, and people call it Zhaobei.

Lanquemen is the same as Qingxuan, and the practice method pays attention to a middle and peaceful.

At the root, it is a door.

The mountain road behind the gatehouse is narrow, only allowing two people to walk side by side, and it is not easy for carriages and horses to enter.

It's just that compared to the towering clouds of Qingxuan, Lanque Gate is very approachable.

Inside and outside the gatehouse, on the narrow mountain road, there are pedestrians coming and going.

Some of them are disciples who are going out to carry out tasks or returning, and more are villagers from here and pilgrims from all over the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Jiang Ning smiled and showed a slight interest in the bird's door.

Qingxuan is completely closed to the outside world, except for the disciples and the worshippers who came to break through the Chongming Mountain Road, the rest of the people, without special reasons, are not allowed to enter the mountain gate at all.

Therefore, although the villages and market towns around Tingfeng Cliff can often see the disciples under the Qingxuan Sect coming and going, you can hear what kind of immortal family situation is in the Qingxuan Mountain Gate on the Wind Cliff, even if the villagers who live under the Tingfeng Cliff are not destined to see it.

The reason is also very simple.

The top sects such as Qingxuan and Lanque Sect, they are not like those small sects at the bottom that generally need the offerings of pilgrims and believers to maintain, on the contrary, most of the things that believers can give are not visible to them, but it is the noisy flow of people who come and go will also hinder the meditation and cultivation of the disciples under them.

Therefore, generally speaking, it is even more difficult for ordinary mortals to enter this kind of large sect directly.

But right now, the people who come and go on this mountain road are mortals.

"I really didn't expect you to be so easy to talk to. Jiang Ning's words were half heartfelt, half teasing.

Nangong Jing smiled with a little pride: "The reason why our Lanquemen has such a strong vitality and rapid development depends on the people's will!"

Que'er also said with a smile: "Most cultivation sects, although they will also send their disciples out to accumulate virtue and do good, but in the bottom of their hearts, they don't really regard those mortals and ordinary people as important, as long as they maintain a certain number, there are no catastrophes, and there is no danger of extermination, it is within the scope of acceptance of the sect." Therefore, some disciples who go out of the sect occasionally do some bad things, relying on their strength to harm some mortals, and the sect chooses to turn a blind eye, because in their hearts, they don't really treat those mortals as human beings!"

Jiang Ning said: "The gap between strength and Shouyuan is there, and it is normal for them to have such thoughts." For example, if a person walks on the road at will, does he always pay attention to whether he has stepped on the small ants under his feet? This analogy is a bit inappropriate, but it is actually true. ”

Su Que frowned, obviously a little resistant to Jiang Ning's description at the moment.

Nangong Jing nodded generously and said: "That's true, strength and discourse power are generally equal, and the so-called fairness and equal treatment cannot exist at all, because in this world, unfairness is the greatest fairness." ”

Jiang Ning smiled.

This sounds unreasonable at first glance, but it is true, the talent is flat

In the case of evenness, people who do the same thing and do it seriously for ten years will naturally get more rewards than those who have done things perfunctory for ten years, at first glance they have used for ten years, but the income of the two is not equal, but this unequal is fair. ”

"Moreover," Jiang Ning said with a smile: "In life, it is ridiculous to want everything to be fair. But I think that's why your respect for mortals is all the more valuable. ”

Nangong Jing shook his head and said, "You and I are mortals, everyone came to this world lying down, and no one wants to go back by standing." Weak as mortals, as strong as you and me, they are all the same in the face of death. ”

"That's why you let those mortal pilgrims go up the mountain casually?" Jiang Ning said.

"No," Nangong Jing said, "Our sect master said that she did it just because she was happy to do it, where is the need for any reason?"

The flying sword stopped before the mountain gate, Dongfang Key didn't explain anything, and disappeared into the crowd with a dodge.

The crowd of Lanquemen was divided into pieces, following in twos and threes, and like those pilgrims and believers, they walked up the mountain along the sheep intestine path in front of them.

Nangong Jing, as the candidate for the next head of Lanquemen before Que'er came, has a keen mind and extensive knowledge, although the mountain road is long, the three of them are not very fast, but all the way to the Chengtai halfway up the mountainside, Jiang Ning didn't feel that he had walked for a long time, but he was inexplicably let out a long sigh of relief by Que'er, who was hanging on the side, this section of the mountain road is really a long way for her.

"Cheng Terrace!" Jiang Ning said: "When the school palace was messing around, the master once said, 'The one who looks at the four directions and is high is the platform.'" 'It is mostly used for sacrifices and military exercises, and generally it is built on the top of the mountain or at a very high place, bearing the dew, bearing the dew, inheriting the nectar of the heavens, but how can it be built on this halfway up the mountainside?"

Que'er laughed out loud when she heard this.

Even Nangong Jing couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

In the end, Que'er couldn't bear Jiang Ningmeng in the dark, and laughed softly: " In the Lanque Gate, this Cheng Terrace can be different from the Master in the mouth of the Taiye Pool, Qingling Terrace and the like, the Cheng Terrace is the Cheng Terrace, here is just a mountain road, and no one is there, now it is a back garden opened up by the master, there are thousands of flowers in it are planted by the master, occasionally remember, he will personally cast the spell to spread the rain, and later in the master and ordered the people to build a wing room here, the palace, set up the transfer to be responsible for treatment, divination, clouds and rain, as well as the place to punish the traitor and eliminate evil, and send disciples here on duty every day. ”

Que'er smiled and said, "And the reason why the so-called Chengtai in your mouth got its name is only because those flowers are always nourished by the rain and dew released by the master. ”

Jiang Ning smiled a little embarrassedly, "I wanted to show off my knowledge, but I didn't expect your sect master to be like this, uh, back to basics!"

Que'er laughed when she heard this, and said in her heart: "Master's unobtrusive temperament, it's hard for you to come up with such a decent word to describe it!"

After Nangong Jing arrived at the Cheng Terrace, he left on his own, leaving only Jiang Ning and Su Que.

Que'er led Jiang Ning all the way down the path, and came to a deep forest with winding paths between flowers and plants, and bent down respectfully.

"Master, we're back. ”
