Ning Que didn't know that he had become the hero of the novel, and he was about to face the challenges of countless supporting roles, either constantly winning or losing, and finally determining whether he was the male protagonist, or like Long Qing, who was supposed to be the male protagonist but turned out to be miserable and became a dead runner.

When he returned to Chang'an City from the wasteland, he had been thinking about an important problem, and if he couldn't solve that problem, he wouldn't even dare to practice in the mountains behind the academy, let alone fight with others.

In order to solve this important problem, early the next morning, to be precise, when it was still dark, he used the waist card of the guest secretary of the Tianshu Office to leave Chang'an City in advance, and came to the mountain road behind the old library of the academy and waited quietly.

At the moment when the morning light first appeared in the east, the clouds and mist on the mountain road gradually dispersed, and the senior brother wearing the old jacket and straw shoes slowly walked out, looking at Ning Que who was leaning against the tree and yawning, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

Ning Que bowed and asked, "Where is Senior Brother going today?"

The elder brother smiled and said: "I have traveled with the teacher in the past two years, but I don't know that the imperial court has dredged a large lake under the Yanming Mountain in the south of Chang'an City. ”

Ning Que now has a lot of experience in the speed and verbosity of the senior brother's speech, and his ears can automatically filter out those nonsense such as scenery and mood, and capture the only words that are useful, but in this passage, he didn't find any key points, and said with some annoyance: "Senior brother, I have a question for you." ”

The senior brother was slightly stunned and asked, "Is it troublesome?" I still have to go to see the lake, or another day?"

Ning Que said categorically: "You can't change the day, you can only do it today." ”

"Is it long?"

"It can be long or short. ”

"Little junior brother, if it's a riddle, it's not interesting. ”

"Master, only" Am I such a boring person?"

After a brief conversation, the senior brother and the junior brother of the academy began to climb the long mountain road.

"This important question is ...... in the morning When we were roasting by the fire in the wasteland, I wanted to ask you, but you said not to ask the same question that you asked the master when he returned to the academy, but the master still didn't come back.

"Why do I think this sentence is also like a dumb riddle?"

Ning Que stopped in front of the row of winter trees that had stabbed himself all over his body, watched the senior brother be silent for a moment, took a few deep breaths, and then said as calmly as possible: "I inherited the mantle of the little uncle in the Demon Sect Mountain Gate, in the words of Liansheng, I have fallen into the demon, and I confirm that there is indeed something wrong with my body now. ”

A gust of winter wind blew, and the senior brother looked at a ginkgo biloba leaf on the mountain road, and after being silent for a long time, he withdrew his gaze and looked at him, nodded and smiled, and said, "I know." ”

Ning Que looked at his eyes a little nervously, waiting for what was next, but Senior Brother didn't do anything, didn't say anything, just shook his head with a smile, and then continued to walk towards the top of the mountain road.

"You know I'm in for a...... And then?" Ning Que shouted as he looked at his senior brother's back.

Senior Brother's voice came from the front: "If you know, you know, what else can you do?"

Ning Que chased after him and asked angrily, "Senior brother, did you hear clearly? I have already fallen into the devil, will I be burned to death according to the rules of the academy or will I be locked up in the back cliff and not allowed to see people?"

"No, I can't. The senior brother sighed lightly and said: "Houya was used by the teacher to lock up the little uncle, and you didn't cause so many disasters like he did back then, the sin is not deep enough, where is the qualification to be imprisoned." ”

Ning Que was stunned and asked, "What should I do then?"

The senior brother looked at him and said seriously, "Wait for the teacher to come back." ”

Ning Que asked, "Then what if the teacher never comes back?"

The senior brother reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Then we don't know, okay?"

At this time, the two of them had already walked to the chaimen, and walked past the stone that was deeply rooted in the mountain, Ning Que thought seriously for a long time, but he still couldn't understand what the attitude of the senior brother was, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand such a big thing, why the senior brother didn't have any reaction he expected at all.

The firewood door that could stop the cultivators below the Cave Xuan Realm opened without wind in front of the two of them.

The senior brother took a silk handkerchief from his arms, slowly wiped a small bronze mirror clean, and then put it back in his sleeve.

"I heard that you went to Red Sleeves yesterday to meet Aunt Jane. ”

"Yes. ”

"That's a miserable woman, too. ”

Ning Que saw the small bronze mirror, but he didn't know what Senior Brother had done with it before.

The two brothers finally climbed to the highest peak of the mountain behind the academy, Ning Que stood on the edge of the cliff, looked at the sea of clouds under his feet, felt the cold wind blowing in his face, recalled the scenery when he reached the summit that night, and his heart couldn't help shaking slightly.

Senior Brother looked at the sea of clouds beside him, and said slowly: "The trip to the wasteland is a trial, you are good, you can officially represent the academy to enter the WTO, I think you had better be mentally prepared." ”

This is the third time in the past two days that Ning Que has heard the word WTO accession. He looked at the senior brother uneasily, although he didn't understand what it meant to enter the world, he faintly felt that it seemed to be a very troublesome matter.

"Senior brother, what does it mean to join the WTO?"

"To join the WTO is to return to the world. ”

Ning Que was puzzled and asked, "Cultivators have gone through a lot of hardships to be born, why do they want to enter the world?"

Senior Brother smiled and said, "Because the 3 cultivators also have to eat." “

This reason is very strong and strong, because there is nothing more important in this world than eating, but Ning Que still has some logic that cannot be used, with the ability of a cultivator, where can he not get a mouthful of food? And what does the need for a cultivator need to eat have to do with the academy? What does it have to do with the academy's accession to the WTO?

Senior Brother looked at the sea of clouds under his feet, and said: "Cultivation is a very luxurious thing, whether it is the creation of natal objects or other things need to consume a lot of resources, take your Yuan Thirteen arrows as an example, the different iron and steel required in the bow body and arrows need extremely precious ores, why no one in the previous cultivation world created a similar bow and arrow?" On the one hand, it is because they lack the whimsy in your mind, the admirable practical spirit of the fourth and sixth junior brothers, and it is also because they are not like our academy, which has the entire Datang mine for us to use, you must know that your bow and arrow can't make a few at all. ”

Ning Que knew that the materials needed for the thirteen arrows of the Yuan Dynasty were very special and rare, but when the bow and arrow were first built, the fourth senior brother and the sixth senior brother were responsible for the specific planning, and he didn't know that such a bow and arrow needed to gather the resources of the entire Tang Empire to complete, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

He suddenly asked, "Could it be that other unknowable places are also going to enter the world?" I see that Tang and Ye Su seem to be wandering in the world, and they have not had anything to do with the world. ”

"There are many Buddhist temples in the Hanging Temple, and there is a Xiling Temple in the world, and the Xiling Temple is supported by believers all over the world, and most of the resources of the whole world are in the hands of the Daomen. ”

"And there is only one academy in the world, this academy is in the southern suburbs of Chang'an City, on the land under our feet, it is supported by the entire Tang Empire in order to continue to exist. ”

"It is said that the academy is the only holy place where the two worlds are connected, but in fact, in addition to the fact that the teacher likes to be close to the world, the most important reason is that we can only survive if we appear in the world. ”

A strong wind blew in the mountains, dragging the flowing clouds in front of the cliff open a big hole, revealing the thousands of fertile fields covered with residual snow below, and the outlines of several villages could be faintly seen, which was a beautiful world

The senior brother pointed to that place and said, "Look at this great river and mountain." We cultivators don't do anything to produce, but we have to consume things that ordinary people can't imagine in their lifetimes, and in fact we are being raised by the most ordinary farmers and miners in these villages in this wilderness, so we should do something for them. ”

Ning Que looked at the distant world below the cliff and asked, "Then what should we do for them?"

"Senior brother, don't worry, the so-called accession to the WTO is just to maintain the connection between the academy and the world, it is not a very troublesome thing, you just need to remember that we have to protect the order and peace of the Tang Dynasty, so we must also keep in mind the principle of Tang Law first, and then participate in the process of this world on behalf of the Tang Dynasty and the academy, you have already taken the first step when you go to the wasteland, and then when someone comes to challenge, you need to maintain the dignity of the Tang Dynasty and the academy. ”

"How to maintain it?"

"To put it simply, it's to defeat everyone who dares to challenge you. ”

Ning Que was shocked and said, "So simple, rough and direct?"

Senior Brother said: "Dao idiot has returned to Xiling, she said to people that you are the person with the closest cultivation concept to her, as far as I know, that little girl has always believed that the purpose of cultivation is to fight, junior brother, you also think the same?"

After thinking about it, Ning Que confirmed that Ye Hongyu saw it very accurately, and he was that kind of person.

The senior brother said, "Then isn't the battle itself the simplest, roughest and most direct thing in the world?"

Ning Que looked at the cloud eyebrows that were gradually closing in front of the cliff, his brows were also furrowed, and he said, "I always feel that something is wrong, does it mean that if anyone comes to challenge me, I have to fight with the other party?"

Senior Brother said with emotion: "It's really a bit inappropriate to say, it's a pity that the academy and the Zhishouguan Hanging Temple are very different, no one knows where the Zhishouguan and the Hanging Temple are, but all the cultivators in the world know where the academy is, so we can't travel around the world as freely as Ye Su and Tang, so we can only wait passively here." ”

"Wait a minute, how do I feel that the more I listen to it, the more wrong it becomes. Ning Que said: "Senior brother, you always play outside with the teacher, and I haven't seen anyone who can enter the back mountain, so where did those people who wanted to challenge the academy go before?"

The senior brother explained seriously: "They were all killed by the junior uncle. ”

Ning Que was stunned for a long time and asked, "What about the years after the little uncle?"

"Uncle Yu Wei is still there, and generation after generation. ”

"Listen to this, I'm the little uncle of this generation?"

"Because you have inherited the mantle of Uncle Xiao.

Ning Que shook his head, a little unsure and asked: "Listen to this, the so-called people who have entered the WTO are the thugs used by the academy to keep them pure, right?

"Senior brother, you can also understand it this way, but the word thug is a little indecent, probably similar to the Buddhist Mountain Gate Protector that Liansheng once did, you must know that it is really an enviable thing to inherit the trip of the little uncle. ”

After Ning Que was silent for a moment, Yan Sù said, "Flicker, senior brother, you continue to flicker." ”
