The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

"People of the Xun family have always had a high self-esteem. In addition to treating the Kong family with courtesy, everyone knows their attitude towards other aristocratic families, so I won't say more. Fang Yun, don't worry, you can help me enter the seventh eldest son. "Lang, I will naturally help you. Of course, I'm not sure whether those old men in our family can help you." Mo Shan said.

"You didn't say anything when Xun Long was here just now. I thought you had learned to be smart. Why are you showing your true colors now? Don't involve Fang Yun in the dispute between your Mohist family and the Xun family."

"Don't talk about the dispute between our two families, just talk about the debate between Fang Yun and Xunlong. It's really satisfying."

Many people here have seen with their own eyes what Xun Ye did in the Holy Ruins, and they naturally agree with Mo Shan.

Kong Delun, however, kept frowning. He pulled Fang Yun aside and whispered: "This is a dangerous move. If you use the words of "Xunzi" to refute the Xun family, they will hate you even more."

Fang Yun said: "I want to use the power of a country to suppress the Xun family. I want to go to the Holy Court alone to argue with all the heroes. I want to put the Xun family's fault in one word. I want... to do too many things, but now I am just raising people. It’s not that I don’t want to do it, it’s that I can’t do it. If I don’t refute it with the words of Xunzi, I’m afraid the Xun family will come to suppress me.”

Comte sighed helplessly and said: "That's right, I have forgotten this. You lack nothing now, what you lack is your own power. It is absolutely impossible for you to get married, so why not marry a daughter of a noble family?" Then you will become a member of half the aristocratic family, and you will be in trouble later Your people will be reduced a lot. You have to understand that there is a gap between the aristocratic family and the poor family. For example, if you were the son-in-law of the aristocratic family, Xun Ye in the Holy Ruins would never treat you like that, even if you and Xun Ye were enemies. , as long as we talk to the elders of the Xun family, it can be resolved."

Fang Yun said: "How could I not know? In "Xunzi", the four words 'noble and humble' appear frequently, which is to divide people into grades, some noble and some cheap. Xunzi was extremely opposed to Mozi's 'universal love' and thought that This behavior is no different from that of an animal, which is why the Xun and Mo families are deeply hostile. The reason why the Xun family treats me like this is probably due to the influence of Xun Sheng’s thoughts.”

Comte nodded his argument and said: "You are indeed a genius. I didn't expect you to be able to see through this. We, the members of the Saints family, will naturally be influenced by the holy ways of our ancestors. It is said that Confucius values ​​benevolence and Mencius values ​​righteousness. Xun There is a reason for Zi's emphasis on etiquette. Xunzi's "rituals" place great emphasis on hierarchy and division of labor. The disciples of the Xun family will naturally value the aristocratic family and despise the humble family. Think about it again. The reason for bowing your head now is to be able to carry it forward in the future. head."

Fang Yun smiled and said: "Maybe, but a Xun family can't make me bow my head!"

"Forget it, if you bow your head, you will no longer be Fang Zhenguo. Remember, no matter what, even if you become a semi-saint, you must not do anything to the Xun family."

"You think too highly of me." Fang Yun said with a smile.

"I'm really afraid that you don't know the bounds of heaven and earth. If you come here to criticize the saints before Cheng Daru, it will be a disaster for you regardless of success or failure."

Fang Yun smiled and said: "You are looking down on me again. Am I that stupid? Without a great Confucian scholar and a struggle for the holy way, how can I criticize the saints?"

"It's good if you can think so. Enjoy your life before you become a great scholar or a great Confucian. After anyone establishes the holy path, it will inevitably trigger a fierce battle for the holy path. Forget it, what am I doing with this? You Look at Mo Shan, how beautiful she is?"

Fang Yun turned around and saw Mo Shan chatting happily, very happy.

"Let's go. After visiting the temple, we should celebrate our escape from death. The celebration banquet has been booked. Let's get in the car." Kongde argued.

Fang Yun said as he walked: "Gong Jianmei sent me a message from Hongyan. He was afraid that the Xun family would cause trouble for me, so he asked me to go directly to him and then return to Yuhai City."

"The Xun family has already caused trouble for you. It makes no difference whether you return to Yuhai City today or tomorrow. Let's go, get in the car first, and you can tell Duke Jianmei what happened just now. He will naturally not stop you."

Fang Yun then sent a letter to Duke Jianmei, and Li Wenying replied that since the Xun family had come to visit him, he would let Fang Yun attend the celebration banquet and it would not be too late to leave tomorrow.

The three dragon carriages drove towards the most prosperous business district in Kongcheng, and finally stopped in front of the famous Confucius Mansion Tower in Kongcheng.

The founder of the Kongfu Restaurant was a freak from the Kong family. He didn’t like reading, and he liked eating and drinking the most. Later, he opened a restaurant like this in Kongcheng. Because the restaurant was good in all aspects, and he dared to use the Kong family’s brand name, Business is excellent.

Everyone came to the other courtyard of the Confucius Mansion. Before the officials could say anything, Sun Naiyong's "Serve the wine" directly brought the atmosphere to a climax. Everyone, who had wandered between life and death for several days, completely dropped everything and drank happily.

There are usually poems, drinking orders, etc. that should be included in a banquet. This banquet has nothing but eating, drinking and talking.

The topic of the banquet almost entirely revolved around the Holy Ruins, because some people did not enter the Comet Corridor, and those who entered the Comet Corridor began to tell the story of the Comet Corridor.

When talking about the avalanche slope, the banquet reached its climax. People who participated in the avalanche slope were seen reciting their own poems. Some people drank too much, or misremembered the poems or the wrong authors, making some jokes. The atmosphere of the banquet was even higher.

The talented people who entered the Comet Corridor said proudly, and the talented people who did not enter listened with envy. They were all leisurely, but they suffered a lot from the several officials from Kongcheng who were sitting with them. They took turns recording everyone's poems, hundreds of poems. Let them complain secretly, but also enjoy it.

Everyone started talking from the first corridor to the seventh corridor. After saying that Fang Yun entered the Poison Blade Snow with the second level of Wen Dan, no one spoke, and everyone looked at Fang Yun.

"You go on, I'll do it first as a courtesy!" After saying that, he drank a drink.

When they saw Fang Yun was silent, except for a few drunk people who begged, everyone else changed the subject and talked about the cause of the collapse of the Comet Corridor and the process of killing the Soldier Barbarian Saint.

Everyone was drinking happily, Kong Delun suddenly shouted drunkenly: "Quiet down! Uh... Quiet down! I have something important to say!"

The banquet immediately became quiet, waiting for Kong Delun to announce the important news.

Kong Delun stood up, his face flushed, and smiled: "The hunting list of the demon world has just been changed. Congratulations to everyone present. Those who were on the list have made great progress. Those who were not on the list before, whether they were scholars or juren, the worst ones are also on the Jinshi hunting list!"

Everyone cheered excitedly.

"Great! I'm finally on the Jinshi Hunting List. The demon race is very good at judging people!"

"Haha, if my cousin brags to me that he is a Jinshi again, I can compare him with the Hunting List."

After everyone discussed for a while, Kong Delun coughed lightly and said, "I won't say much about others. Fang Yun was originally fourth on the Hanlin Hunting List. Guess where he is now on the Hunting List."

Shi Tang shouted in a daze, "He will definitely be in the top three of the Hanlin Hunting List. It's not surprising even if he becomes the first on the Hanlin Hunting List."

"No! Delun deliberately kept it a secret. It will definitely not be ordinary. Fang Yun is probably already on the Grand Scholar Hunting List!"

Everyone sobered up, and many people were mostly drunk.

"Have you drunk too much? That's the Grand Scholar Hunting List! Not the Cabbage List!"
