The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Compared with the complete Wendan and the Wendan whirlpool, one is in heaven and the other is in hell.

Fang Yun glanced at the crowd and said, "Since there are still people who are hostile to me, then you can go with them! When I do things, I never leave any trouble behind!" Fang Yun's voice was like the arrival of winter, and he pointed at more than 20 people.

Those 20 people were all from Wu or Qing, and there was even a Jing.

Fang Yun pointed his finger 25 times in a row, and the Wendan vibrated, forming an invisible spiritual power that fell on the more than 20 people.

These people thought they were good at covering up, but everyone here was purely condensed by divine thoughts. Under the power of Wendan, no one could hide from Fang Yun.

"You... help! I dare not! I wanted to hurt you, but I didn't do it! I..." One person shouted, and his body turned into broken ice and disappeared.

The other 20 people were all like this.

It was quiet under the Book Mountain, and even those who were screaming because of the strange wind were scared to shut up.

Fang Yun bowed to the people who came to rescue him and said, "Thank you, fellow writers. If you can remember what happened today after leaving Book Mountain, I will definitely reward you generously."

The crowd still hadn't woken up from the shock. Many people were still extremely afraid. If Fang Yun had the intention to harm others, he could defeat everyone's mind by just walking around the foot of the mountain.

They were not afraid of failure in Book Mountain, but because there were more serious consequences.

If the mind was defeated outside Book Mountain, it would be completely demented. Although it would not be completely demented if something happened in Book Mountain, unless a semi-saint took action, it would be forever separated from the Palace of Literature and could no longer use its talent.

Even if a semi-saint took action, it could only mobilize talent at most, and from then on, it would be impossible for the literary position to advance.

"Then I'll go up the mountain first."

After Fang Yun finished speaking, he turned around and stepped onto the single-plank bridge. No matter how strong the strange wind was, his clothes did not move at all and could not bring him any pain.

When they were far away from the river, everyone gradually woke up.

"What a great Fang Wujia, it turns out that we all underestimated him. If the news that the scholar has a literary talent spreads out, the world will be in chaos. Fortunately, the Book Mountain was created by Confucius and blessed by saints of all generations. Even a half-saint can only see where we are and has no idea what is happening inside."

"Even a half-saint would not believe that Fang Yun has now condensed a literary talent. He would probably think that the thoughts of those people were blown away by the strange wind."

"Fang Yun's potential is probably higher than that of Yi Zhishi, Lu Huaijiang and others!"

"What a pity! It's a pity that I can't remember everything after leaving the Book Mountain. Otherwise, even if I start a literary war with Qing and Wu, I will persuade my father to make friends with Jing, or simply bring Fang Yun to my Shu."

"Your Highness, you think too much. If you can really remember this "Oh, I promise to let Duke Yansheng do everything he can to get Fang Yun to marry into my Kong family, and then promise to let his eldest son serve as the next head of the Kong family and Duke Yansheng."

"You Kong family are willing to do that!"

"What pavilion do you think Fang Yun can reach?"

"As for climbing the Book Mountain, he must be able to climb the third mountain and the third pavilion."

"Not necessarily. He may have a chance to gather literary courage, but the content of this Book Mountain is very diverse, how can he compare with our wealthy families."

One person chuckled and said, "I don't mean to look down on Fang Yun. I also know that he is proficient in poetry and scriptures, but I'm afraid he can't even pass the second mountain. Who of you has seen a poor kid pass the second mountain when he was a scholar?"

Many children from wealthy families also laughed and nodded.

"That's right. It's not that the poor children are not talented enough, but they learn too little, unlike us who learn a lot for the Book Mountain."

"You can't blame him for this. After he passes the exam to become a scholar, he will spend three to five years studying. After passing the exam to become a juren, he will climb the Book Mountain for the second time. Maybe he can pass all three mountains in one go and get the first Wenxin."

"Yes, but his journey to the Book Mountain as a scholar will soon end."

"However, I heard that he made a bet with the people of Qing that if he couldn't reach the second pavilion of the third mountain this time, he would destroy the Wen Palace."

"Ah? Is there such a thing? How come I don't know."

"There is no point in saying more. When we get out of the Book Mountain, all the truth will be revealed."

"Let's go to the Book Mountain together. Don't be too late. Look, Fang Yun has already reached the first pavilion."

At the same time, in the Hall of Saints in the center of the Holy Academy.

Nine peaks composed of light appeared in front of the three semi-saint examiners. Under the first peak, there were many light spots, each of which represented the divine thoughts of a scholar.

The light spots of the more than 20 people who were killed by Fang Yunwen's divine thoughts gradually disappeared.

"The young people of Wu and Qing are really useless."

"They were decisive when they secretly harmed the rookies of the human race."

"This year's Book Mountain seems to have consumed more talent than in previous years."

"Perhaps due to the influence of the five movements of Wenqu, this year's scholars are better than in previous years."

"The questions in this Book Mountain are related to the sum of the potential of the scholars. The higher the potential of these scholars, the harder the questions. Excellent scholars may not have any problems, but other ordinary scholars will be unlucky."

"Do you think anyone can reach the three mountains and three pavilions this year?"

"If Fang Yun was born in a wealthy family, he might be able to reach the three mountains and three pavilions. If there were no five movements of Wenqu this year, he might have a chance to reach the second mountain, but this year's Book Mountain consumed too much talent, and the questions are probably extremely difficult. If nothing unexpected happens, he can't even pass the first pavilion. This year's Book Mountain is too difficult."

"It's a pity for a great talent. He was too reckless."

"Alas, if I had known that Book Mountain would have such a change, I would have gone to Yuhai City to protect him that day even if I didn't have the face."

"What a pity..."

Fang Yun walked up the stairs slowly without any resistance. He stepped onto a small square paved with stone slabs easily and smoothly. There was a pavilion in front of him.

There was a plaque on the attic with "character" written on it. It was simple and there was nothing shocking about it.

Fang Yun was a little disappointed. He thought that Shushan was a particularly magnificent place.

On the mountain road above the first pavilion, two people were climbing up, which meant that they had answered the questions of the first pavilion correctly and were about to enter the second pavilion.

Fang Yun looked around and found that everyone was looking down at a blank page in front of them, but there was nothing on the page. There were also a few people whose mouths were moving, but no sound could be heard.

"It seems that this is to prevent us from cheating. But I'm afraid this is only the first pavilion of the first mountain. Only two people have come up before. Is this first pavilion so difficult?"

Fang Yun was thinking, and a piece of white paper appeared in front of him, which asked Fang Yun to read out ten words and explain their meanings. If he recognized seven correctly, he would pass the test and enter the second pavilion.

When Fang Yun saw the ten characters, his eyebrows ached. Each one was more obscure than the other. Ten characters looked more numerous than the characters on an ordinary page.

皨,猣,屶,笺,爈,爡,馫,蚎,興,鶗.

“No wonder people say that the mountain of books is a dead end for children from poor families. If they don’t study these characters specifically, no one can recognize all these ten characters. Even if I have read so many books in the past few months, I still can’t recognize them all. How can those children from poor families spend time recognizing these characters? Only those children from wealthy families who guessed the type of test questions will remember these obscure characters.”

Fang Yun looked at the first character carefully.

Jie.

"This one is not bad. It has the same pronunciation and meaning as the character '星'." Fang Yun thought.

Then Fang Yun looked at them one by one, and finally he could only recognize six characters, namely, 猣,皨,屶,興,馫and鶗, and he could not remember the meaning of two of them, only how to pronounce them , and he could not be sure of the other four characters.

The strange book world moved slightly, and the complete pronunciation and meaning of ten characters emerged. The six characters that Fang Yun recognized were all correct, but one of the interpretations was wrong.

"The reason why those people have no confidence in me going to the Book Mountain is probably because they know that I have read too few miscellaneous books. This Book Mountain is really too difficult. Poor disciples can only study for more than ten years after passing the examination for a scholar, and then take the examination for a juren. Only when they climb the Book Mountain for the second time will they have a chance. They are inherently inferior to those wealthy families. The two people in front seem to be from the family of saints, amazing!"

Fang Yun stood there and read out the pronunciation of the ten characters and explained.

When Fang Yun finished speaking, he saw that the first pavilion shook slightly, and the plaque emitted a strange white light that fell on Fang Yun.

Fang Yun closed his eyes and slowly enjoyed the baptism of white light. He didn't know what this white light was, but he guessed that it should be a good thing, which made people feel very comfortable.

After a while, the white light dissipated and Fang Yun opened his eyes.

At this time, many people had come up from behind. There were hundreds of people stepping onto the square of the first pavilion, and thousands of people were crossing the single-plank bridge at the foot of the mountain.

Fang Yun immediately stepped aside to make way for those people.

One person made a gesture of invitation to Fang Yun, Fang Yun smiled and thanked, then walked forward and entered the first pavilion.

The person who made the gesture of invitation was stunned and said, "I want him to continue. How come he has already passed the first pavilion? Just now I said that it is very difficult for such a poor boy to pass the mountain of books. How come he passed it so quickly? It seems to be faster than the two people in front."

Others didn't hear what he said at all. Many children of wealthy families watched Fang Yun pass through the first pavilion and step onto the stairs of the second pavilion.

These people looked at each other and could see surprise in each other's eyes, and then they had the same idea at the same time.

"Are the questions this year easy?"

So everyone looked down at their own questions, and some of them looked blankly, some rubbed their temples, and some immediately looked up at Fang Yun.

After a while, many people looked at each other again, their eyes full of suspicion, as if they had the same question again.

"How did Fang Yun answer correctly?"

These scholars were surprised, and the three examiners of the Holy Temples were a hundred times more surprised than these scholars, and they were speechless for a long time.

On the light and shadow book mountain in front of them, the light representing Fang Yun was twice as bright!

"Am I wrong?"

"You are not wrong."

"Only if he perfectly answers all the questions in the first pavilion without any omissions, his light will be twice as bright, but he is just a poor disciple. It is already amazing to pass the first pavilion. How can he answer all the questions without any omissions? Although I don't know the content of the first pavilion this year, if I participated in this book mountain when I was a scholar, let alone perfect, it would be lucky to pass the first pavilion."

The other two semi-saints were silent. They couldn't say that they were not as good as Fang Yun.

The third update is around midnight
