Text Chapter 30: To the Inner Gate

After saying goodbye to the elders, he left the high platform. Le Qi and Kana walked side by side on a quiet path, the autumn wind was playful, jumping from time to time to blow the fallen leaves lying quietly on the ground, stirring up small whirlpools, quietly swirling under the feet of the march.

Le Qi pinched his fingers lightly, and randomly pulled out a tender green leaf bud tip that was rare to germinate tenaciously in the bleak autumn with dry yellow and dark red as the main color, and habitually held it in his mouth, and his front teeth were slightly bitten from time to time, tasting the bitter taste in it.

The beautiful woman beside her is a pair of white jade hands stacked, naturally hanging in front of her, swaying slightly from side to side with the lotus steps of the cross, unexpectedly showing a bit of rare girl liveliness.

On the road, the two of them were silent, and from time to time a few crisp birdsongs came from the canopy overhead, adding a bit of silence.

Walking through the turning point, the girl's body hit the side, a pair of phoenix eyes hooked to look at Le Qi, mature and lively, and said first: "Brother Le won't blame the little sister for making her own decisions and revealing your affairs to the elders, right?"

There was a girl's soft voice in his ears, Le Qi turned his head to look at Kana who was walking side by side, and was stared at by the pair of phoenix eyes with a slightly charming temperament unabashedly, as well as that rare lively posture, Le Qi was distracted for a moment, and never imagined that Kana, who was calm and mature on weekdays, had such a playful appearance.

But Le Qi was also extraordinary, and he came back to his senses in an instant, and the astringent buds in his mouth spat to the ground, shook his head with a smile, and replied: "How could it be! You are saying good things for me." If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been able to get the appreciation of the two elders, and I really want to thank you, so how can I blame you for that!"

Kana's face was witty and strange, and her eyes were even more smiling and locked Le Qi's pitch-black eyes, as if she wanted to see through the deep man in front of her, and continued: "But why do I think that Brother Le was so modest before, and it seems that he is not willing to expose his talent too much?"

"Modesty? I can't talk about it, it's just telling the truth. Le Qi replied that in fact, what he said was true, but Kana's guess was also correct. Although he knew in his heart that in a big sect like the Linlang Sect, only by showing his talent could he get ahead, but he didn't want to go too far, the so-called gun shot the first bird, and always felt that people who grew up in a high-profile way would not have a very good effect in the end.

"Tell me the truth, don't you think that things like talent don't have much to do with age, as for the rhetoric of accumulation, it seems that the difference between the fourteenteen and fifteen years and the sixteen or seventeen years of the refining realm is not far apart!" Kana did not approve of Le Qi's casual rhetoric, but argued more seriously.

Glared at by Kana's serious words and the pair of watery eyes that were full of curiosity and did not stop reaching the goal, Le Qi had no choice but to disarm and surrender: "Okay, I know that disciples who show excellent talents in the sect can get more benefits, but maybe I have been wandering in the rivers and lakes for too long over the years, and I have become accustomed to keeping a low profile, it's just my own problem." ”

In the past ten years, he has seen too many people and things, all kinds of things, but few of them seem to be really prosperous, but those who know how to hide their strength and know how to forbear, it seems that life will not be too bad. As for him, who doesn't have a little strength, he is naturally even more low-key all the way to this point. In the mixed rivers and lakes, inconspicuous, at least inconspicuous to the forces or strong people who are currently powerless to resist, is always the safest way to survive, this is the experience he has gained in the past ten years.

Hearing this, Kana nodded as if she didn't understand, she is not like Le Qi, she has been cared for by her parents since she was a child, and she has never been in a complex society of rivers and lakes, so she can't know exactly what it is, but from the burden on her father, it can be imagined that the man in front of her will not have an easy time in those days, otherwise, with his talent, how could he only reach the realm of Xuan Xuan at the age of seventeen or eighteen.

"Then I don't care! Now that Brother Le has been appreciated by the elders, he will enter the inner door in the future, but he can't forget his little sister! You will take care of me more in the future!" Kana's cheerful tone broke the inexplicable and heavy atmosphere for a while, and her pretty face put on a small and arrogant appearance.

"Hehe, what can I take care of as a person with no background! On the contrary, you, with the support of Elder Li, and your talent, when you soar in the future, remember to reward me with soup!"

"I don't care!"

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

A few days have passed, and the qualification assessment of the inner disciple has ended. There was not much suspense, Le Qi met a disciple whose realm was at the first level of the Great Xuanzhi Realm and his strength was relatively ordinary in the finals, and he easily won after a battle and successfully won the qualification of an inner disciple. And Kana also fought to the end, with her good strength, she fought her way out of the encirclement among the 40,000 Xuan Xuan Realm disciples, and successfully won the qualification, which really made Elder Li very happy, and his face was full of glory.

However, Wu Gang and Zhao Lian were not so lucky, their own realm was not high, and their strength was insufficient, so they were defeated halfway and had no chance to become the first batch of inner disciples. Of course, the two of them are not sad, they know their strength level, compared to Leqi and Kana, it is indeed a lot worse, the result is also expected, the two of them can see it, it's not a big deal, continue to work hard next year, isn't life like this.

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

In the early morning, it is not as warm as the afternoon sun, and the cool autumn breeze blows from the mountains and forests, which makes people inadvertently want to shrink as much as possible.

Today, it is a good day for the five hundred new inner disciples who have obtained the qualification of the inner gate to officially enter the inner gate of the Linlang Sect, and early, Le Qi and the others rushed to a martial arts arena to gather according to the instructions, waiting for the elder's leadership to go to the legendary inner gate.

Compared with the outer gate, the inner gate of the Linlang Sect is located in the deeper part of Linlang Mountain, however, the depth here is only relative to the outer gate, in fact, the inner gate is not located in the deepest part of Linlang Mountain, objectively speaking, it is still the outer and outer area.

When the sect was first established, the reason why it was planned like this was to consider that the depth of the Linlang Sect was not much stronger than that of the central part of the sect, and it would not benefit much if it was too deep, but it would make it angry because of the excessive compression of the demon clan's domain, and cause unnecessary trouble, after all, in the depths of the Linlang Sect, there were many demon clan powerhouses, and among them, there were even more existences that could compete with the strongest people in the Linlang Sect, and it was good not to provoke. The second is to build the inner gate and go too deep, and it is not convenient for the disciples to travel, so they can't go out of the outer gate Linlang City, they have to walk a hundred and eighty miles, which is not suitable.

At the appointed four o'clock, a middle-aged man in a purple elder's robe walked to the martial arts arena, only to see that this elder had a trace of majesty on his face, and his steps were steady and powerful, and the badge he was wearing clearly showed that this was a yang-level elder of the same level as Elder Wu Mo, and his status in the Linlang Sect was not low.

The purple-clothed elder came to everyone, coughed lightly, and said loudly with full of anger: "I, Sun Confession, am one of the Yang-level elders of this sect, and today, I will lead you into the inner gate of the Linlang Sect. You're all set, aren't you? ”

"Ready!" everyone replied in unison.

"Well, now come with me. After that, Elder Sun didn't count the number of people, so he led the people forward. As he walked, he told everyone: "Don't run around for me along the way, keep up with the team, if you can't get into the inner door when you fall behind, don't blame me for not reminding!"

Hearing this, everyone nodded one after another, at this time they were about to step into the inner door with two feet, if they couldn't enter the inner door because of this little thing, they would not be unjustly killed.

Le Qi and Kana followed behind the team, unhurried, after a period of getting along, the two gradually got acquainted, talking and laughing along the way, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

Although the inner gate is located in the outer area of Linlang Mountain, it is still not close to the outer gate located on the outer layer. Even with the slow speed of the warrior, it took half an hour to finally see a corner of the destination.

Along the way, Le Qi was talking and laughing, and did not forget to observe the surrounding environment. As far as he could observe, there seemed to be only one way from the outer gate to the inner gate, but it was in good condition, paved with countless long strips of flat frosted and stiff boulders, and was brown and very resistant to dirt.

And although he traveled on a sparsely populated remote mountain road along the way, he had never encountered fierce beasts and monsters, and he thought that Linlang Sect had set up strict defensive checkpoints around it to ensure the safety of the disciples who entered and exited. Also, if there are really disciples who are attacked by demon beasts in their own sect and are killed or injured, it is not enough to describe even being embarrassed and thrown home, it is a shame at home!

But what made Le Qi most puzzled was why in the process of going deep into Linlang Mountain, the concentration of Xuan Qi did not show obvious progressive changes, and it didn't seem to be much different from the outer gate? I couldn't figure it out for a while, could it be that the inner gate was established in this deep mountain and old forest, not because the Xuan Qi was strong here, but just to add a bit of mystery and show the otherworldly realm of the great sect? I shook my head, still unable to understand.

Elder Sun led the group to a gate and stopped. Turning to everyone, he said, "This is the entrance to the inner gate of the Linlang Sect, you wait for a while." ”

Le Qi looked around carefully for a week, and found that this place was very strange, and everything was strange. And the strangest thing is the gate not far ahead. The door in front of the door is dark red, preliminary estimates, about more than six meters high, more than four meters wide, as if made of wooden materials, but it gives people a sense of heavy and thick, above the lintel, engraved with three two big characters that contain the vicissitudes of time: "inner door".

The Linlang sect is a large sect with a history of more than 1,000 years, and it is understandable to have a heavy gate at the entrance of the inner gate, which is a cultural symbol of its thousand-year history.
