The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

"What Shitang said makes sense. Others may not know it, but those of us who are familiar with the inside story know best. The human race is indeed growing, but it cannot compare with the demon race. After all, the demon world is vast, and those demon savages are simply worse than insects. The Dragon Clan is already our last ally as a human race. Once something unexpected happens and the Dragon Clan lets go, the two realms will be destroyed. By then, our human race will be in danger."

"The Dragon Clan is an ally, not our human race. Once the demon world is really desperate and threatens the survival of the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Clan may not help the human race. Therefore, now the human race needs the power to defeat the demons and barbarians. That time the demon world attacked Liangjie Mountain, only one was dispatched. The Great Sage, who is equivalent to the Sub-Sage of my human race, did not come forward. It was said that he was blocked by more important things and could not attack the human world. When I heard the news, I was not happy but worried. "Comte argued.

Li Fanming said: "Yes, for the demon barbarians, what major event is more important than the destruction of the human race? Once those great saints complete that task and turn back to attack the Two Realms Mountain, the dragon clan may not be willing to stop it. Just thinking about it makes people shudder. !”

Fang Yun remembered the classics of the demon clan that he had read in the demon ancestor's court, which recorded many things about demons and barbarians. Although there were only a few words about the great sage of the demon clan, every word was shocking.

"That's why we, the human race, have to make more progress! It's a pity that since the death of Saint Kong, there hasn't been a big figure from the human race who can control hundreds of families. And each family has different ideas and concepts, so it's difficult to achieve perfect integration. I'm not accusing each family of fighting among themselves. After all, This kind of contention is also Promote the growth of our human race. It can only be said to be helpless, but it is better than the demon world. The demon world is constantly fighting. This year, the demon emperor attacked the two realms. In the end, the demon emperor may have told the truth and could only let the three demon saints sit in the two realms. Boundary Mountain." Sun Naiyong said.

"We are just promoting people, why are we talking about such far-reaching things? Come on, let's continue talking about "Shengxu Collected Works" and strive to publish it as soon as possible to promote our literary name."

As a result, everyone successively wrote out the poems they had written at the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Holy Market. Then each person selected a few of their most favorite works, evaluated and appreciated each other, and prepared for future collections.

At first, everyone talked about their own things, but as they talked, everyone began to discuss Fang Yun's poems together, because those poems were so outstanding that once someone started talking about them, no one else had the time to appreciate others. Poetry.

The sun was setting in the west, and the people in the main hall were not tired at all. They continued to chat about articles and poems. The scene was very lively, and it was completely a private literary meeting.

Fang Yun occasionally glanced at the gate. Li Wenying said yesterday that he would take him to the Holy Courtyard today, but he has not come back until now. Could something have happened?

While everyone was discussing, Conte said with a smile: "A happy event, a great happy event!"

Fang Yun found that Confucius was looking at him and looked at him curiously.

"The Xun family has issued an announcement, saying that Xun Ye did not control his true intentions in the Holy Ruins and made a big mistake. The saints may not hold him accountable, but the Xun family cannot tolerate this kind of disciple. He will be sent to the ancient land of Shihan and will never be able to leave. ”

"This puts my mind at ease. I'm afraid that the Xun family will refuse to plead guilty and end up jumping over the wall."

"The Xun family is a Yasheng family after all. Even if they respect etiquette and despise others, it won't be too much."

Mo Shan snorted softly and said: "Assigned to the Shihan Ancient Land? Why not go to the Zhenyu Sea? The Zhenyu Sea is a real place of death, with almost nothing. If he went to the Shihan Ancient Land, he would probably be worse off than in the Ten Kingdoms Capital. It’s more comfortable, and you can definitely gain wealth and wealth throughout your life. Moreover, there are also holy temples in Shihan Ancient Land, and you can also participate in the imperial examination.”

"After all, he is a disciple of the Yasheng family. After going to the Shihan Ancient Land, no matter how powerful Xun Ye is, his academic status will only improve and he will lose his future in the Holy Academy."

"That's because you don't understand the Shihan Ancient Land. You are actually more relaxed there than in the Holy Yuan Continent." Mo Shan said.

"Then what can we do? It is better to punish him than not to punish him. Since the Xun family has punished Xun Ye, then Fang Yun will be safe."

Most people were very happy, but a few lowered their heads in deep thought, not knowing what they were thinking.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Li Wenying pushed open the door and entered, and the noisy main hall quickly became quiet.

Fang Yun looked at Li Wenying and saw that his face was as usual. At first glance, there was no emotion at all, but if you look carefully, you will find that Li Wenying's eyebrows were a little gloomy.

"Grand Bachelor Li!"

"Mr. Sword Eyebrow!"

Everyone sent greetings.

Li Wenying nodded and said, "Fang Yun, come to my study. I'll discuss something with you in detail." After that, he went to the study.

Fang Yun's heart skipped a beat, then he suppressed it and walked calmly to Li Wenying's study.

The people present were puzzled.

"There seems to be something wrong."

"Don't make blind guesses, maybe it's a personal matter between Mr. Jianmei and Mr. Jianmei."

"Then you don't understand Duke Jianmei's personality very well. If it is a private matter, he will cover it up very well. It is obviously something else."

"Let's wait here, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Hmph, if a saint dies in the demon world, he will definitely not let it go. All the saints are busy, maybe someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble!"

In the study.

Li Wenying turned his back on Fang Lun, raised his head slightly, and looked at a large set of characters hanging on the wall, with only one word "Benevolence" on it.

"Alas..." After a while, Li Wenying sighed softly and turned around, with exhaustion and helplessness on his face. Only at this moment did Fang Yun realize that Li Wenying was not young. He usually only regarded him as a man in his thirties. .

"Why is Duke Jianmei sighing?" Fang Yun asked.

"I didn't bring the asylum card back." Li Wenying said.

Fang Yun said: "In other words, I can't enter the Holy Court to take refuge?"

"Yes."

Fang Yun took a deep breath, suppressed his negative emotions, and said: "Please tell me the reason, who is so bullying?"

Li Wenying said: "Did you know that the four houses of the Xun family are currently fighting?"

"I know a little bit. It stands to reason that the eldest son of the old Xun family should inherit the position of the family head, but the Ten Kingdoms also pay attention to meritocracy. The eldest son of the Xun family is only a Hanlin scholar, and the other three sons are all bachelors, with higher literary degrees than Xun. The eldest son of the family, so the three of them also want to compete for the position of head of the family. The eldest son of the Xun family is kind-hearted and not as talented as the three younger brothers. He cannot suppress the three of them, so the dispute between the Xun family becomes more intense. "

"The fourth son of the Xun family has quit." Li Wenying said.

"If I remember correctly, the fourth son of the Xun family is Xun Ye's father." Fang Yun said.

"right."

"Could this matter have something to do with Xun Ye?"

Li Wenying said slowly: "Xun Ye ignored his colleagues and lived an ignoble existence. Even in the Holy Ruins, he committed a big taboo and affected his father."

"That's not right. All the saints said they would not investigate what happened in the Holy Ruins. Why do the Xun family actually care about it?" Fang Yun asked.

Li Wenying said: "Confused! Do you think that the saints are so stupid that they really don't care about the things in the holy ruins? Although the saints have never spoken, and they may not even know their direct blood relatives, I have carefully checked that all the saints in the holy ruins People who have done great evil deeds are better than If you refuse to save people, such as killing people for treasures, no matter how talented they are, they will be sent to various places in the end. Except for a few people who have made great contributions to the human race and changed their minds, everyone else has disappeared and has never appeared in official history. Why?"

"I understand. After leaving the Holy Ruins, the saints will not punish their sins, but they will also hinder their holy path. The reason why the Holy Ruins will not hold people accountable is nothing more than a literal trap. It can only be found in a lawless place like the Holy Ruins. , can truly test a person. However, the saints cannot cover everything, they can only judge by other people's experiences in the holy ruins, right?" Fang Yun asked.

Li Wenying said: "What do you do as a Legalist? When you left the holy ruins, you were already visited by the cultural treasures of the Legalist saints. Whether you killed innocent people indiscriminately or because of evil intentions can never be concealed. All semi-saint artifacts. After tomorrow, you will be asked to write an article about your experience in the Holy Ruins, and submit it to the Holy Court to identify the authenticity. Combined with the Legalist artifacts, the saints will be able to determine who is the most evil person. "

Fang Yun had to nod. Although the Legalist Semi-Saint Wenbao could not clearly point out whether a person killed another person or "convicted", it could "identify evil". This was enough. Moreover, those who come out of the Holy Ruins are all scholars, candidates, or Jinshi. No matter how powerful they are, they can't hide the semi-saint cultural treasure.

"Is this your guess?"

"Although it's just a guess, I'm 90% sure." Li Wenying said.

"As expected of Duke Jianmei." Fang Yun vaguely understood that Li Wenying had touched the edge of "the way of sincerity". "Book of Rites Doctrine of the Mean" said that "the way of sincerity can be known in advance" is a very high state.

Li Wenying continued: "The fourth son of the Xun family had little hope of competing for the position of head of the family, so he voluntarily withdrew from the competition for the head of the family, but made two conditions to his three elder brothers."

Fang Yun listened carefully.

"The first condition is that their family moves to the Shihan Ancient Land, and the family head is not allowed to interfere in the future. The second condition is to prevent you from entering the Holy Court!"

After Li Wenying finished speaking, he looked at Fang Yun.

Fang Yun was silent, and then said: "The fourth Mr. Xun family is just like this, and he got angry with me because he couldn't compete with the head of the family. This kind of behavior is also in line with the identity of the Yasheng family. They are tantamount to saying that the Xun family is wrong, but the Xun family is wrong." There is less than one person in the family’s turn An outsider's literary courage is based on identity, status is status, and talent is talent. It seems that the Xun family is very clear about the literary courage of a disciple from the Yasheng family. I say that the inferior is inferior to the superior. That’s right?”

"That's the case." Li Wenying said.

"What reason did the Xun family give me to prevent me from entering the Holy Academy?"

"You may have selfish motives for hurting Xun Ye. You can only enter the Holy Court after it is verified that there is nothing wrong. The Yasheng family has this power." Li Wenying said.

Fang Yun suddenly showed a hint of ridicule and said, "Isn't this just unfounded?"

"It's unfounded? Alas, it's indeed unfounded." Li Wenying felt that Fang Yun's expression was a little strange.

The unwarranted possibility meant that it was an excuse for Qin Hui and Song Gaozong to kill Yue Fei in another world. Fang Yun did not expect that there was no such thing as Qin Hui and Yue Fei in Shengyuan Continent, but the unwarranted one had already appeared.

"What did the people in the Holy Court say?" Fang Yun asked.

"The influence of the Yasheng family on the Holy Court is far greater than you imagine. The key is that the Xun family did not convict you. They only said that they were investigating. Even if they knew that the Xun family was deliberately delaying you from entering the Holy Court, they would not let you enter the Holy Court. No way."
