The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Seeing Youshui River, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Fanming smiled and said: "We're finally here. The Youshui River is the most dangerous, but the shore can be said to be the safest. Because of the strange grass in the river, other ferocious creatures dare not approach. We only need to stay ten feet away from the river. , the strange grass will not attack us. Fang Yun, you are also proficient in Qin Dao, but you must not try to get the thunder stone."

"I understand this. If the Thunder Stone was so easy to obtain, it wouldn't take hundreds of years to get just a few pieces. This thing is much more precious than the dragon horn. It is said that if it is coated with a layer of Thunder Stone paint, the thunder will roar when the war song is played, and the power will be great. If it doubles suddenly, it may even cause thunder. I won't be greedy. Even if I use "Wind and Rain Dream War", I will only use the weak water in the depths of the river to be powerful, and my war poem cannot bear it. ”

"Seeing so many thunder stones but not being able to take them is really heartbreaking for a person who is dedicated to playing the piano." said the Juren who once played the piano and fought against monsters and barbarians.

"Senior brother is right." Fang Yun also felt extremely regretful.

This person was named Shitang. Shitang was originally the name of the music official, but later it gradually evolved into a surname. The Shi family is neither a family of saints nor a rich family of virtual saints, but it has always been a Qin Tao family that has never declined, because the ancestor of the Shi family, Shi Xiang, was Confucius' Qin Tao teacher, and the Shi family has always been the Holy Land of Qin Tao in Shengyuan Continent. , the head of the "Qin Yuan" in the Holy Yuan is often held by a master.

This Shitang was just a Juren, but he already had the cultivation of the second level of Qin Dao, Jian Dan, Qin Xin. Fang Yun was deeply impressed by him. Yesterday, he was as powerful as three or four Ju Ren.

"Let's go, let's go to the Youshui River first, and then see if any Thunder Stone has been washed ashore." Fang Yun said.

Yi Ganzu moved forward leisurely, chatting while walking.

Fang Yun asked: "The landscape of the Holy Ruins has changed in a few years, and even the demons and barbarians living here are complaining, but the Youshui River has existed for thousands of years. Who knows the origin of the Youshui River?"

"I don't know about this. I guess only Brother Shitang knows the most. Their master family worked hard to get the Thunder Stone." Li Fanming said.

Fang Yun looked at Shitang with a smile.

Shitang said: "Thunder Stone is only produced in Youshui River, but there are not only places similar to Youshui River in the Holy Ruins. Back then, the Holy Ruins were beaten to pieces by the Semi-Saints. The Youshui River and other places were just shifted in location. The main body has never been broken, which shows its terrifying nature. According to the elders' guess, the water of the Youshui River comes from a more powerful ancient place. The Youshui River leading to the Holy Ruins may come from a crack, forming a wonderful connection with the Holy Ruins. Changes, resulting in the Thunder Stone."

Fang Yun asked: "There are Youshui rivers in other ancient places? Are there treasures in those Youshui rivers?"

"Of course there is. Every Youshui River has incredible treasures. It is said that the weak water used in Shengxu Road was brought by the Kong family from a Youshui River. It is said that the Kong family has its own Youshui River."

Fang Yun sighed with emotion that the Kong family was indeed a great family, and then looked at the Youshui River with no end in sight. The center of the river was covered with dense thundering stones, making the whole river glow with golden light. If a noble family got a whole The thundering stones of Youshui River are enough to stand for thousands of years. Because Thunder Stones are too rare, humans don't know how to use them. If there are enough Thunder Stones, it is very likely that new uses will be found.

Walking closer, you can see the clear bottom of Youshui River. There are golden thunder stones in the center of the river. The bottom of the river is as smooth as a mirror, which is very strange.

There are also some ordinary-looking green aquatic plants in the river, which are very similar to kelp, but are longer and stretch for miles.

The opposite side of the Youshui River was hazy, and only the dark red river bank could be seen.

"What's on the other side of Youshui River?" Fang Yun asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

Ma Xiong said: "There should be nothing there. No one who left the Holy Ruins alive has ever been to the other side. An elder of my family tried to control a mechanical bird to fly across the river, but the mechanical bird was blown away by the strange grass washed out of the river. Roll to kill, the strange grass will attack my elder, but fortunately the elder has prepared to escape in advance. My elder said that to cross the Youshui River, you must be at least half-saint. "

"Then let's not think about it."

Fang Yun asked: "Brother Ma, where is the spirit leopard inhabited by the evil king running towards the Youshui River?"

Ma Xiong took out a map of the Holy Ruins and spread it out, pointing to a place and saying: "The Fierce Lord was here at the time, with his back to Longya Forest and running towards the Youshui River."

"The Dragon Cliff Forest is more troublesome than the Dragon Cliff. Although the Dragon Cliff is dangerous, there are many treasures inside. However, the Dragon Cliff Forest next to the Dragon Cliff not only has no treasures, but is also a place for strange trees. If you go in, you will die or live."

"I would rather encounter strange winds and weak water than strange trees and strange grasses. These two strange objects are powerful and ferocious. The key is that they cannot communicate. If you offend them, you will be attacked crazily until one party dies or both die. The demon world Compared with the strange trees in the Holy Ruins, the demon tree is as good as a chicken."

Fang Yun said: "The evil king has been planning for eight years. He will never be idle after attacking me. Everything he does must have a purpose. Since he goes in that direction, there must be benefits. Let's go, we can't let the evil king succeed. !”

Everyone smiled and quickened their pace and rushed towards the direction of the fierce king.

The Youshui River was extremely quiet. After walking for half an hour, everyone saw a mountain peak standing on the Youshui River.

“Thirty-eight years ago there were no mountains here.”

"Not even eighteen years ago."

"Whose senior came here eight years ago?" Li Fanming asked.

Everyone shook their heads together. There were less than ten people who came out of the Holy Ruins alive eight years ago, and even fewer people came here.

Fang used the demon language to ask: "Niushan, when did this mountain appear?"

Niushan looked at the mountain and recalled it carefully, and finally said: "I don't know, I was here five years ago, and those demon commanders didn't mention this mountain."

While everyone was curious, the ground around them suddenly shook slightly. The mountain seemed to shake as well, and a large amount of gravel slid down from the mountain.

"There's a battle! Be careful." All Juren looked ahead warily.

Ma Xiong said: "I suspect that the target of the evil king is this mountain."

Everyone looked at each other, undecided.

Fang Yun said: "Since you have come to the Holy Ruins, even if it is not the way to become a saint, it is also the way to grow. If you can become a saint just by sitting at home and reading and writing, why do you need to kill demons and savages? Why come here? Dangerous place? Talented as Tao Yuan Mingdu almost failed to become a saint, and Na Yi Zhishi had to walk hundreds of thousands of miles to kill all the demons before he could become a saint. Both of them had entered the demon world, how could they escape even the holy ruins? Afraid, what qualifications do you have for being a saint?”

Several people were ashamed.

Fang Yun continued: "If the road ahead is a road of death, it would be a wise choice for us to retreat, but if we retreat now without knowing the situation, how dare we be scholars!"

"That's what Fang Zhenguo said." Li Fanming said.

"But... if a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, it wouldn't be wise for us to go directly there." One person said.

Fang Yun smiled indifferently, waved his hand, and the overwhelming military power enveloped everyone, and said: "Since I dare to move forward, I must have a way to protect myself. How can I, Fang Yun, be a reckless person?"

The overwhelming power enveloped everyone except the Dog Demon General.

Everyone looked at each other in surprise, remembering the disappearance and reappearance of the weak water cavalry yesterday.

Fang Yun said: "This method of warfare can conceal our whereabouts. Now others can only see the dog demon general, but not us."

Everyone was overjoyed.

One person praised in a low voice: "This art of war is similar to Sun Tzu's 'The Art of War' and Sun Bin's 'Reducing the Kitchen Plan', but it is also unique. It seems to be better at concealing and distorting the senses. I have never heard of it." It seems to be a new book on war by a master of military art. Good luck to you, Brother Fang!”

"We will move forward slowly, trying not to use our energy or talent to avoid being discovered." Fang said in demon language, and then told the demon barbarians how to deal with it.

With the power to hide everything, everyone felt more at ease and couldn't help but get closer to Fang Yun, even though he could only sit in a wheelchair now.

Everyone was getting closer and closer to the mountain, and the shaking on the ground became more and more intense.

"It seems like monsters are fighting."

"They are behind the mountain. They go around and can't get too close to the mountain."

Everyone walked around the mountain peak a mile away and suddenly found more than thirty giant crabs fighting with a big tree.

The big tree was as thick as ten people hugging each other, and it was fifteen feet high. More than a dozen roots as thick as a water tank were constantly breaking out of the ground, beating the big crabs with a harsh sound. It is more than thirty feet long.

Whenever a crab rushed close by, the branches of the big tree would fall quickly and knock the crab away.

Those crabs are also extremely huge. The smallest one is as tall as two people. The crab's shell can accommodate more than ten people, which is as big as a room. The largest crab is as tall as two stories and more than ten feet long. , its smallest crab legs are larger than those of an adult.

At this time, the largest vicious crab was clamping two tree roots, trying to break the tree roots, but the big tree shook the roots violently, throwing the giant crab onto the mountain wall.

"boom……"

The mountain peak shook and rocks rolled down. This blow was enough to smash an elephant into a pulp, but the giant crab shook its body as if nothing was wrong, crawled quickly with its crab legs, and continued to attack the big tree.

Everyone was stunned for a while, and Li Fanming whispered: "The one who beat us up that day was the smallest vicious crab. The big tree should be a strange tree, at least with the strength of the Great Demon King. The biggest one was The evil crabs also have the strength of the Great Demon King. These evil creatures are somewhat different from monsters. They are only born in the ancient land. They gain terrible power after eating holy blood or holy jade, which is a headache for the three tribes of demon barbarians. "

Fang Yun observed carefully and found that there was a long ravine behind the strange tree, which seemed to be the traces of its roots.

Fang Yun immediately said: "The 'gully' that the snake demon king mentioned was left by this evil tree? This evil tree is a strange tree. If it is not special, it is impossible to leave its habitat. What on earth can make a tree demon Why did the king come to kill these vicious crabs? "

Everyone looked at each other and vaguely guessed a possibility.

"It couldn't be that the evil king instigated a fight between two evil creatures, right? Could it be that he discovered something eight years ago, and then used a special method to provoke the two demon kings to fight to the death, and he profited from it?" Li Fanming asked.

One person asked: "Where is the evil king?"

Fang Yun immediately said: "If this matter is really related to the fierce king, the fierce king is either nearby or in the lair of the giant tree. Let's search first, Dog Demon General, do you still remember the scent of the spirit leopard?"

The dog demon general nodded immediately.
