Confucian and Taoist scholar

"Ji Yansheng, after all, you are also a scholar from the Wenzong family. You really did something wrong this time."

A Yun Guo bachelor spoke slowly, with a cold expression, then cut off a corner of his robe and threw it in front of Ji Yansheng.

Cut off the robe and end the righteousness!

A scholar who was once a good friend of Ji Yansheng actually cut ties with him on such an important occasion!

A look of shame and anger appeared on Ji Yansheng's face. On this important occasion, being cut off by others was enough to be recorded in the unofficial history and become a laughing stock.

But since Ji Yansheng chose to challenge Du Ning at this time, he was naturally prepared to bear some stigma, otherwise he would not have appeared here.

"Shameless! If you don't cheer for Du Ning at such a grand cultural gathering, but instead stand up and challenge, you are acting like a member of the Wenzong family." A Yunguo man cursed angrily.

"Presumptuous!"

Ji Yansheng's face darkened and he scolded: "Who do you think you are, and you are worthy of accusing me of the Wenzong family? Your words alone are a crime of great disrespect. I have the right to sue the Holy Court to expel you from the Wenhui!"
"Ji Yansheng, don't scare me with the laws of the Holy Court. Don't think that I don't know. Your Ji family has always been the lackeys of Mu Xian's family. Now that King Xian has fallen, your Ji family has a grudge against Du Ning and wants to

Take this opportunity to attack Du Ning's literary reputation to avenge your Ji family's personal vendetta!" The other party hit the nail on the head.

The whole audience was stunned.

After understanding the cause of the matter, the scholars from all the saints' families felt a sense of disgust.

Ji Yansheng's face turned green and white for a while, but soon returned to normal, and said in a deep voice: "That's nonsense. You are the biggest slander. I, the Ji family, are pure and clean. How come it's so embarrassing in your mouth? You clearly intend to prevent me from exercising my ability as a scholar."

Normal cultural power, you are maliciously provoking the relationship between us Suzhou people, you are the one with ulterior motives!"

"What did you say? You are simply slanderous and unreasonable!"

The Grand Scholar of the Yun Kingdom looked angry. He didn't expect to be bitten back by Ji Yansheng, but one thing was a fact that he had to admit.

Du Ning is from Nanping Prefecture, Suzhou, Yun State, so he can naturally be called a Suzhou native.

Fan Heshan said to Ji Yansheng: "Ji family, are you trying to seclude yourself from the Yun Kingdom literary world? Aren't you afraid of being infamy for thousands of years and being criticized by the Yun Kingdom literary world?"

"Mr. Heshan is serious. I'm just participating in the literary conference, so I won't have to pay such a heavy price, right? Or... Yun Qijun can't afford it?" Ji Yansheng retorted.

"Arrogant!"

Fan Heshan said sternly: "Master Ji, I advise you to be careful what you say. There is a price to pay for some words, so you have to think clearly for me!"

"Mr. Heshan actually threatened me, a Confucian and Taoist scholar. It seems that I have to give in..."

Ji Yansheng sighed and said: "I, Ji, respect Mr. Yun Qi and hope to communicate and discuss with Mr. Yun Qi at this cultural conference. I never expected that I would be bullied by Mr. Heshan..."

"Enough!"

Fan Heshan couldn't stand listening anymore and said in a deep voice: "As a great scholar from a semi-saint family, I will not suppress your little Ji family. I just consider the reputation of the Yun people present here. I hope you can be careful in your words and deeds. Okay."

You don't listen to my advice. Since you insist on going your own way, I won't say much. But I tell you, if you lose someone at the cultural gathering, it is your Ji family's business and has nothing to do with other Yun people."<

/p>

"Ji Mou naturally knows this, and there is no need for Mr. Heshan to remind him." Ji Yansheng said disdainfully.

Some Yun people cursed quietly and criticized Ji Yansheng in various ways.

Ji Yansheng turned a blind eye, held up his hand to Du Ning, and said, "Mr. Yunqi, are you willing to accept Ji's challenge of writing a question?"

Du Ning glanced at Ji Yansheng and spoke slowly: "Mr. Ji is so supportive, how can I not obey? But I just ask Mr. Ji to come up with the question."

Some Yun people felt extremely sad and angry, and they all wanted to go up and slap Ji Yansheng in the face.

"My topic is very simple. I hope Yun Qijun will compose a poem at will, and then rearrange the meter on the basis of this poem. Do not add or delete a word, so that the poem will be transformed into another poem, and the artistic conception must be

It’s on the same level as the original poem.”

Ji Yansheng spoke with contempt on his face. This was a question he deliberately prepared for Du Ning. Not only was the angle tricky, but the difficulty was even more difficult to describe.

He had the confidence to make it difficult for Du Ning to compose poems based on his title.

"Transferring poetry to words? This is also called simplicity? Ji Yansheng, can you write this kind of poem?" Someone yelled angrily.

Ji Yansheng's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he did not respond.

"Are you kidding me? My back hurts when I stand and talk. You are clearly trying to embarrass Mr. Du!"

"Ji Yansheng, you are going too far. You have turned 'poetry' into 'ci' word by word. Even a Confucian and Taoist scholar can't write it at the moment, let alone Yun Qijun, a Confucian and Taoist scholar?"

"You are deliberately retaliating. How can you raise a question like this?"

Many Hanyi Society scholars shouted loudly, saying that they had seen shameless people, but I had never seen such shameless people.

But Ji Yansheng turned a deaf ear.

"I accept Mr. Ji's challenge. What is the punishment?" Du Ning said.

"Haha..."

Ji Yansheng smiled and said: "The punishment I prepared is also very simple. The loser can just learn to bark three times on the spot."

"What did you say?"

Du Ning's eyes narrowed when he heard this. Although he knew that Ji Yansheng was deliberately targeting him, he was mentally prepared.

But I never expected that it would be such a humiliating punishment.

The loser imitates three dog barks in public, which is a great humiliation for a scholar. It can easily destroy a scholar's ambition and even his literary courage.

The whole place was in an uproar.

"Ji Yansheng, you should stop when it's appropriate. Even if it's a fight over literary names, you can't push it too far. This is extremely rude!"

"Du Ning is the Wenjun of my human race, how could you humiliate him like this? What good will this do to your Ji family!"

"That's right! After all, Du Ning is the Wenjun who came out of your Yun Kingdom. If he fails and is humiliated, you, as Yun Kingdom people, will also be disgraced!"

Scholars from all over the world shouted harshly and yelled at Ji Yansheng.

At this moment, even Ye Jinghong, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't bear it anymore, and his eyes flashed with cold light.

"Ji Yansheng, don't go too far!" Ye Jinghong said.

"Mr. Ye, I just acted according to the rules of the cultural association, how could I go too far?"

Ji Yansheng smiled and said: "Besides, Yun Qijun's literary talent may not necessarily defeat him. As long as he can write my title, then I will be the one who is embarrassed in this literary conference."

"You are right. With Du Ning's literary talent, he will not necessarily lose. I am looking forward to seeing what it will be like for a Confucian and Taoist scholar from the Wenzong family to learn how to bark three times in public."<

/p>

Ye Jinghong spoke indifferently, not only showing contempt for Ji Yansheng, but also having strong confidence in Du Ning.

"Haha... It seems that Mr. Ye is very confident in Yun Qijun!"

Ji Yansheng laughed loudly and said contemptuously: "To be honest, I am also looking forward to what the scene will be like when the dignified human scholar learns how to bark three times at this literary meeting, so we will all wait and see.

”

"Don't worry, you won't have the chance to see it." Ye Jinghong said disdainfully.

"Really?"

Ji Yansheng still had a proud posture. At this time, he was so high-spirited and triumphant, as if he could vent his anger on Du Ning's dignity.

This moment is so exciting!

Ji Yansheng was extremely confident in the tricky questions he had given, and believed that no matter how high Du Ning's literary talent was, it would be absolutely impossible to solve a difficult problem that could be "translated from poetry to words".

"Then Mr. Yunqi, you must write this poem well, and never let Mr. Ye down, nor me, nor all the scholars in the world."

Ji Yansheng's seemingly polite words were actually putting psychological pressure on Du Ning, causing him to be oppressed all the time and affecting his normal performance.

In this way, Ji Yansheng is naturally guaranteed to win.

"Mr. Ji, please rest assured that I will do my best to live up to your praise."

When Du Ning said this, he also accepted the punishment proposed by Ji Yansheng. The loser would bark three times like a dog.

Ji Yansheng sat down again, his eyes sweeping in all directions, already announcing his victory to many readers in advance.

Many scholars gnashed their teeth secretly and were so filled with hatred that they could only whisper insults from behind.

Some people from Suzhou in Yun State turned red with embarrassment, knowing that this matter had nothing to do with them, but they felt ashamed because of Ji Yansheng's actions.

Shameful! So shameful!

The scholars who were traveling with Ji Yansheng immediately stood far away, fearing that scholars from other countries would think that they were in the same group.

"This Ji Yansheng is so cruel! He actually set such a severe punishment to humiliate Wen Jun. There is no sense of propriety at all."

"The competition in the cultural society has reached its peak. Ji Yansheng is simply pushing Du Ning to death without mercy at all. It is simply hateful!"

"Mr. Yan Sheng, to be fair, do you want Ji Yansheng to be expelled for disturbing the cultural society?"

Many of the judges looked at Kong Chunfeng. They also couldn't understand Ji Yansheng's behavior and hoped to get Kong Chunfeng's instructions.

As long as Kong Chunfeng nodded, Ji Yansheng would be expelled from the venue, killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

Kong Chunfeng shook his head slightly and said: "Ji Yansheng launched the challenge in accordance with the rules of the cultural association. Strictly speaking, he did not disrupt the order of the scene, so we cannot expel him."

"But Ji Yansheng is really messy and has violated the bottom line of the cultural society's tolerance." Someone retorted.

Kong Chunfeng said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, you can see from Yun Qijun's appearance that he has not lost his position because of this. It can be seen that Yun Qijun is quite confident in his literary talent."

"Oh?"

After hearing these words, many great scholars looked at Du Ning and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Du Ning's expression was still calm and calm, as if it was just as Kong Chunfeng said.

Comte said to everyone: "Now there are three scholars challenging Yun Qijun, and there is still one last question left. Who is willing to ask the fourth question?"
