The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

"Mr. Dong, you're welcome. I'll just sit down at the head of the table." Fang Yun said.

"No! If you don't sit at the head, none of us will sit down! At this banquet, I am celebrating secondarily, mainly to thank you." Feng Yuanjun said, pushing Fang Yun to the main seat.

Fang Yun couldn't refuse, so he could only sit in the main seat, with Li Wenying sitting next to him and Feng Yuanjun on the other side.

After sitting down, Li Wenying returned to his usual seriousness and rarely spoke, while Feng Yuanjun was very happy and kept talking.

"Before I went to Wudao River, I firmly believed that Wudao River was extraordinary. After seeing it with my own eyes, I was immediately attracted by this quiet river. It was obviously inconspicuous, but there was a mysterious power that attracted me. I found it In a quiet place, guarded by private soldiers, he sat there for three days without eating or drinking. "

"I was very calm at first, and my heart was clear, but I gained nothing. I could not help but feel a little impetuous and became more and more impatient. On the second day, I suddenly remembered Fang Yun's "Inscription on the Humble House", so I wrote it I recited all the poems silently in my mind. For some reason, my mentality at that time was like reciting the scriptures of the saints. I recited them silently over and over again, and finally read them out loud involuntarily."

"On the third day, I calmed down and slowly recalled my life. When I recalled that Fang Yun wrote 'The lotus leaves that connect the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers that reflect the sun are uniquely red', I suddenly saw a green lotus leaf. At the same time, I saw a lotus rising in the middle of the ocean, reflecting the sun, and then I found that my literary skills had been refined and I had become a master!"

After Feng Yuanjun finished speaking, he looked at Fang Yun meaningfully.

The rest of the people also looked at Fang Yun. Everyone knew that Feng Yuanjun could not have such a high talent. There was no other possibility except Fang Yun's poems and Wudao River.

"I think it was Feng Yuanjun's solid knowledge, concise talent, and solid literary courage that made it possible for him to make a breakthrough at this time. It has nothing to do with my poetry." Fang Yun said.

Magistrate Dong said: "Fang Banxiang, what you said before is correct. Mr. Feng naturally has a profound foundation, but your poems and Wu Daohe may be that little bit of inspiration that awakened him. In many cases, the numbers Years of hard study are not as good as a few words of advice. Master Li’s experience is the most convincing.”

Li Wenying nodded.

Fang Yun was immediately speechless. Li Wenying was actually very ordinary when he was a child, and even when he was nearly 20, he was not admitted to the Tongsheng School. But then he met a very ordinary old man and casually said a few words about his life experience, which just touched Li Wenying's heart. On the way, Li Wen suddenly became enlightened and was out of control from then on.

Feng Yuanjun raised his glass to Fang Yun and said with great sincerity: "This is the first glass, I respect Fang Yun, he is selfless, he is willing to talk about the Wudao River, and even mentioned it in front of me many times, hinting me to go! Such a heart is as big as the ocean A person who is as generous will definitely have a status above the starry sky in the future! Fang Yun, I give you a toast!"

Fang Yun had no choice at all. He thought to himself that no one would ever gain enlightenment in the Wudao River in the future. Then he raised his glass and toasted to Feng Yuanjun.

Feng Yuanjun was very talkative today, and the atmosphere of the banquet was very lively. Fang Yun was particularly silent, but others saw this and kept nodding in praise.

"Look, he obviously has the ability to guide others to breakthroughs. He is obviously the center of this banquet, but he does not take credit at all. Instead, he says it is all Feng Yuanjun's own efforts. Who doesn't like this kind of young scholar? This kind of person is not a scholar. Who is qualified to be a role model?”

"Indeed! Even though I am thirty years older than him, if I were sitting in his position, my bones would be laughing."

"I used to think that Fang Yun only had the talent of a great Confucian, but now I am convinced that if nothing happens, he will become a semi-saint! Ten years later, he will definitely become one of the four great talents of the next generation!"

"Yes! Fang Yun has such a calm heart. He will become a great scholar within ten years, a great Confucian within twenty years, and a semi-saint within fifty years! Just like Feng Yuanjun said, his status is above the starry sky."

Fang Yun secretly sighed in his heart from time to time, these people have too rich imaginations and are too capable of talking nonsense.

After a quarter of an hour, Li Wenying asked in a low voice: "Do you have any relatives or friends in the Holy Courtyard?"

Fang Yun was stunned for a moment and couldn't figure out why Li Wenying asked, so he said: "No."

The two people spoke in a low voice, but everyone couldn't help but shut up. After all, one of these two people is the real number one person in Jiangzhou, and the other is the well-deserved number one talent in the ten countries. Just like the two giants here, no one is willing to give up. No one dares to say anything else during a conversation between two people.

Li Wenying didn't care about other people's reactions and said: "That's strange. The people from Dongsheng Pavilion said that this year's quota for the Holy Ruins will be assigned to you. You will not occupy the quota of Jingguo, but the quota of the Semi-Saint Family."

"How could this happen?" Fang Yun felt bad when he heard that the Half-Saint Family had a quota.

Li Wenying said: "I'm not familiar with the people in Dongsheng Pavilion, so I can't figure out the secret."

Feng Yuanjun was stunned, and then said: "After I became a Jinshi, I served in Dongsheng Pavilion for half a year."

"Then tell me what's going on so that he can be prepared." Magistrate Dong said immediately.

Everyone looked at Feng Yuanjun nervously, fearing that the people in the dignified Dongsheng Pavilion would target Fang Yun.

Feng Yuanjun said: "Let me tell you something I heard first. Shi Jun, who was the leader of the four great talents at that time, was deliberately demoted to the far west by the people of Dongsheng Pavilion because he made a small mistake, and went to the desert to fight with Shaman fought. But Shi Jun was so good that not only did he not lose anything, but his foundation became more and more stable. Then he received a reward, which seemed to be taken from the Half Saint Family, so some disciples of the Half Saint Family were unhappy. "

Li Wenying nodded, as if to say that this was the case.

Feng Yuanjun continued: "Most of the disciples of the Semi-Saint Family were watching, and only a few took action. Most of them were to verify Shi Jun's strength. If they found that Shi Jun was qualified to receive the reward, they would stop midway, either admit defeat or praise Shi Jun." Jun. However, a few people were unconvinced and continued to make trouble for Shi Jun. Shi Jun refused to give in. After a month, the disciples who made trouble for him were all sent to Liangjie Mountain and never came back. "

Fang Yun immediately said: "I understand. Master Feng means that this is Dongsheng Pavilion's way of sharpening people."

Feng Yuanjun said with unabashed envy: "No, it is a way to sharpen talents! We want Dongsheng Pavilion to sharpen it, but we don't have the qualifications."

Everyone said yes, and if he was not talented enough, the Dongsheng Pavilion would not even bother to deal with it.

Feng Yuanjun added: "And I also heard that this is not the case in the Dongsheng Pavilion of all dynasties, but is the habit of the current Dongsheng. Therefore, I suspect that this is Fang Yun who was personally appointed by the Dongsheng to go to the Holy Ruins, and he deliberately let him Seize the spot of the Semi-Saint Family."

Fang Yun said helplessly: "You also want to use my hand to pick out the scum in the semi-saint family."

"Of course I have this plan. Mr. Dongsheng has always advocated fighting, but there must be a bottom line. I don't need to tell you what happened when Mr. Dongsheng was young. You first use your talent to kill the enemy. When your talent is gone, you will kill the enemy with a broadsword. He said that his holy way was achieved through killing."

Everyone at the banquet wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh. There were a lot of stories about the Eastern Saint King Jinglong. Before he became a great scholar, he was straight-forward in doing things. No matter what he did, he said that it was his holy way. He would only cultivate his moral character after becoming a great scholar. But if anyone provokes If you anger him, he will immediately turn into the original Wang Jinglong.

Fang Yun asked: "Speaking of the Holy Ruins, I heard that when Kong Sheng was in seclusion, several of his semi-holy disciples discovered a place, and encountered the demon clan, and finally they all died in battle. That place was destroyed by the power of the saints. It was destroyed into ruins, so it was called the Holy Ruins. Is this legend true? "

Most people are calm because this is a widely circulated statement and they all think so.

Li Wenying remained silent, while a few people were a little embarrassed.

Feng Yuanjun said: "The people here today are not outsiders. Besides, this matter is not a secret. It doesn't hurt to tell the truth. The fault lies with my human race, but my half-saint from the human race broke in there by mistake. I apologized afterwards, but The demon clan refused to give in, and finally fought to the death. "

"Is there any inside story here?" one person asked curiously.

Feng Yuanjun said: "The Holy Ruins was originally the tomb of a semi-saint from the demon clan. Although the half-saint was mediocre in strength, he was rarely known for his wisdom. He was not like other demon clans who only knew how to solve everything with killing. It has made great contributions to the demon clan and has a high status. The three half-saints from the human race entered there accidentally and did not know that it was the demon saint cemetery. After all, the demon clan cemetery is different from the human clan cemetery and there is no way to tell them apart. ”

Many people nodded. Although the demon tribe has a language, it did not originally have writing. It later learned from the human race and created its own demon script. However, so far, very few demon tribes have learned it. On the contrary, all human race scholars or people with higher literary degrees have to learn it. master.

"The three half-saints thought they had discovered a treasure land, and then destroyed the perimeter of the demon saint's tomb. They were soon discovered by the three demon saints and chased them. You demon barbarians also know that they are not bad at normal times, but when they are angry and blood Dasheng will decide everything by instinct. Ran thought that the human race broke the thousand-year covenant and deliberately harmed the demon clan, so he attacked the three half-saints with all his life. During the battle, the human half-saint learned the truth, so he apologized, and the half-saint Zilu even took the initiative to bear the demon clan's attack without resisting. He was hit and had his arm cut off as an apology.”

Many people have guessed what happened next and are extremely angry.

"The other two Half-Saints on our side also stopped, hoping to negotiate with the Demon Saint. But the Demon Saint was unreasonable and took the opportunity to sneak attack and beat Zilu Half-Saint to death! Those two people and Zilu Half-Saint were brothers from the same sect, and they saw their senior brother killed in battle. , how can we continue to negotiate? So the two half-saints spent 90% of their remaining lifespan to turn into jade-blooded elixirs, and finally died together with the three demon saints, and sent the news back before they died."

Only then did everyone realize that Zilu Semi-Saint was such a saint, and that such a thing happened in this holy ruins.

"The three people from the Half-Saint Family were naturally extremely angry, so whenever they found out that the Holy Ruins were open, they would go in and hunt the monsters, and the monsters would not show any weakness. This tradition continues to this day."

Fang Yun sighed. Many of Confucius's disciples died prematurely. If they could survive until Confucius's death, there would be at least three more sub-sages.
