5. Upper clearing door
The sky is clear.
Above the clouds, a guard of honor drove unhurriedly. The guards and mounts are all blue birds, and there is a canopy floating above the sacred bird, which is brilliant. In the huge bluebird array, a cloud boat is guarded.
This cloud boat is well-made, and all kinds of magic circles are engraved all over the body, which is brilliant and shining. The royal emblem on both sides of the cloud boat emerged, showing the extraordinary identity of the owner of the cloud boat.
"I still think it's too ostentatious. Lin Ning pouted.
"It's a lot more streamlined. Wen Qing shook the folding fan and smiled. "Anything more streamlined would be detrimental to royal majesty. ”
"The target is so obvious, will it really not be robbed?" Lin Ning was puzzled and looked out of the cloud boat. The entire eldest princess's honor guard seemed to be another round of the sun, exuding brilliance and patrolling the land of the Eastern Regions. The mortal people on the earth recognized the royal honor guard and bowed down one after another until the cloud boat disappeared into the sky. This is too high-profile, isn't it?
"Hehe, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, you underestimate the power of the royal family. Wen Qing said with a smile. He closed the fan and pointed to the bluebird outside. "Blue Bird, Heavenly Rank Nine Rank Divine Beast. In terms of combat power, a blue bird can completely annihilate 100,000 elite mortals. And it's in the royal family, it's just the most ordinary honor guard mount. ”
The implication is that if you want to rob the royal family, it is best to weigh whether you can still stay alive.
"Compared to mortals, it's too much of a bully. How does it compare to an immortal cultivator in the Qi cultivation period?" Lin Ning asked.
"Well, there are about 1,000 of the Qi Cultivation Perfections that are close to the foundation building, and with good cooperation, this blue bird can be killed. Wen Qing silently estimated.
[The gap is so big...... Lin Ning was secretly frightened.
As if seeing through her inner muttering, Wen Qing said: "This is the difference between immortals and mortals." ”
Lin Ning thought for a moment, and asked again: "There are so many immortal sects in the Eastern Regions, there will always be those who rely on their strength to refuse to obey, why can the Lin royal family control the world for so long?"
You must know that it has been more than 51,200 years since the Han dynasty of the Eastern Regions ruled the world and was founded. Lin Ning couldn't believe his eyes when he saw this number in the book. The ancient Chinese civilization has been inherited for 5,000 years, and things 5,000 years ago feel so far away, but in this world, a royal family has lasted for 50,000 years. This must not be her setting, it must be a bug.
"There are many reasons for this, but the biggest ones are probably three. Wen Qing raised three fingers, Lin Ning, a student, was not easy to answer every time he asked a question, but fortunately, he was quite knowledgeable.
"First, the Lin royal family is very powerful, and you should know this better than me in the future. Just the power on the surface makes the major immortal sects full of fear, but compared to the power in the secret, this is only the tip of the iceberg.
Second, the existence of the royal family is in the interests of the major immortal sects. With a unified country to rule over mortals, the world is stable, and the supply of Xianmen will be more sufficient, rather than the need to set up a huge outer gate to manage mortals who are both a resource and a burden for Xianmen, as was the case during the war of the previous dynasty.
Third, the royal family has always had its own cultivation mechanism for immortal cultivators, official and private academies have immortal cultivation enlightenment courses, and immortal cultivators also occupy a certain weight in the imperial examination, after all, immortal cultivators are stronger than ordinary mortals in terms of physical state and intellectual energy, and they also have a longer lifespan to contribute to the imperial court, except for geniuses among individual mortals, of course. ”
When Lin Ning heard this, he asked again: "In this way, there are a large number of immortal cultivators who are willing to become immortals, and there are even many people who cultivate immortals for the sake of becoming immortals. Isn't this contrary to the principle of 'birth' of immortal cultivators?"
Wen Qing smiled and looked out of the flying boat, the sky was getting dark, and a touch of colorful glow smeared the sky. "Among the immortal cultivators, there are only a few people with outstanding qualifications like His Royal Highness, and the most are still people who can't even cross the hurdle of foundation building. In this world, there are people who yearn for immortality, and there are people who are determined to help the world and save the people. Let's take a look at this prosperous world. It was not the high-ranking immortal sect that created this prosperous world, nor the power that turned the clouds and rain, but the thousands of low-level immortal cultivators and mortals. ”
Lin Ning followed Wen Qing's eyes and saw the rolling wheat waves of the Spirit Valley Field, the square Spirit Medicine Field, and the cultivators and mortals who worked hard in the fields.
She couldn't help laughing, this world was really beyond her expectations.
————————————
The flying boat honor guard took the royal fan, and flew slowly for three full days before entering the realm of Shangqing Gate.
Lin Ning walked up to the flying boat observation deck and looked down on the railing. Verdant mountains slowly receded from the sides of the boat, and the clear river directly below flowed slowly, and the woodlands on both sides of the valley were lush and green, and the occasional smoke of the mortal villages could be seen. In the distance, the peak where Shangqing Gate is located is cloudy and mist, and there are flocks of white cranes flying over from time to time, and the sweet aura is blowing in the face, refreshing people's hearts and spleens, and it is a fairy atmosphere.
The name of the river is worry-free.
Fly up the Sanssouci River, over spectacular waterfalls that fall from cliffs, and over the bustling city of Xiuzhenfang. When you can see the long stone steps of the mountain gate, two patrol teams flew from the sky, each team of five people, both men and women, all wearing blue and white Shangqing Sect disciple uniforms, refreshing and neat. Each of them has a handsome white crane under his feet. The two teams of disciples looked neither humble nor arrogant, bowed to the flying boat, and then turned around to lead the way, leading the honor guard to the mountain gate.
The flying boat slowly landed on the square, and Lin Ning took the lead to walk down, followed by Wen Qing. The two teams of royal guards were dressed in dark color suits, and they lined up behind Lin Ning and Wen Qing. In front of him, a long-bearded Taoist with immortal wind bones led a group of disciples to greet him.
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess came in person, and the Shangqing Gate was full of light. ”
"The head of the family is serious, Shangqing Gate is the premier immortal gate in the Eastern Regions, and it has contributed many pillars of talent to the imperial court. Your grand event, the royal family should be fully supported. ”
Lin Ning exchanged a few words with the head of the house, let the euphemism offer a congratulatory gift, and the head of the door asked the disciple to accept it, leading Lin Ning and his party to the viewing platform.
I don't know that the hundreds of years old Lao Dao and the five-year-old girl have a serious mutual greeting, which may be funny in the eyes of others, but Lin Ning knows that she represents the royal family, and Shangqingmen naturally has to give enough face. Not to mention the five-year-old girl, it is a baby in swaddling clothes, and the head of the house has to do enough etiquette. It's just that the royal family can't save face like this.
Lin Ning knew that the head of the world beside her was the master of the Queen Mother and Mr. Wenqing, and she was a figure of her grandfather's generation, so her attitude was very respectful.
The first time she saw this eldest princess, she felt that this child was gentle and polite, and she was not stage frightened when she saw such a big scene at a young age, so she couldn't help but have a gentler attitude.
Guests and hosts have fun. Lin Ning sat down on the viewing platform peacefully, looked at the neatly arranged male and female disciples of the Shangqing Sect below, and secretly praised it. It is worthy of being the number one faction in the Qingya world, and the disciples have nothing to say about their appearance and temperament.
She couldn't help but look forward to the next door.
