The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Thousands of academy students lined up on the grassland.

"What a coincidence, Brother Fang!" The young Duke greeted Fang Yun across Qiao Juze.

Fang Yun turned around and saw that Duke Xiaoguo had a seemingly kind smile on his face. To the left of Duke Guoguo was Wei Yu, whom Fang Yun was about to expel from the academy.

Xiaoguo Gong said: "Normally when we go to Lingyan Pavilion, everyone is in an independent pavilion, which consumes too much talent. But when we go to Lingyan Pavilion together, we come together to save the energy of the temple. However, we didn't tell Brother Fang in advance. Brother, forgive me.”

Fang Yun glanced at the young Duke, and said with a cold smile: "Young Master, you don't have to be so polite. If you don't stay in Jingguo Academy for a long time, I may need your forgiveness in the future!"

"Then you have to pass Wu Pavilion first! Not only do you have to pass Wu Pavilion, but you also have more chips than Wei Yu!" The little Duke's smile was still there, and his tone was colder than Fang Yun's.

Wei Yu next to him said: "Don't worry, little Duke! I have the ability to enter the upper chamber a long time ago. I may be able to pass the sixth pavilion today, and then I can enter the upper chamber directly!"

"Stop talking nonsense, we'll see what happens in Lingyan Pavilion!" Fang Yun said.

Qiao Juze on the side said to Fang Yun: "We don't care about them! You must know the content of the test in Lingyan Pavilion, but you may overlook some details. In the hunting pavilion, a quarter of an hour of practice time is given, during which geese continue to fly by , you just need to be familiar with bows and arrows. It will officially start in a quarter of an hour, and there will be a hundred geese flying by. The more you shoot in the shortest time, the highest points you will get."

Fang Yun said: "In the Juren Lingyan Pavilion, who holds the record of the hunting pavilion?"

"Of course it's Flying General Li Guang. However, he only got the full ten points in the Shooting Hunting Pavilion and the Royal Horse Pavilion. His results in other pavilions were mediocre, and he did not become the 'Ten Sons of Juren Lingyan Pavilion'. Among the ten sons of Juren Lingyan Pavilion, he is the only one Chen Shengqingzhi is the one who has reached the full level of shooting and hunting, and the others are all eight or nine levels."

Fang Yun said: "Half-Saint Chen Qingzhi is proficient in military strategy, how can his shooting skills be so amazing?"

"It is said that he claims to be a master of all laws of war. He is a strange man of his generation. He knows everything about military strategists. He also has ten points in the next imperial horse pavilion. He only surpassed Flying General Li Guang in passing time. This time It’s rare among scholars.”

"I see."

At this moment, there was a sudden strange noise in the sky. Fang Yun looked forward and saw countless wild geese flying in from the sky, covering the sky and the earth, endless.

"Try bow and arrow, don't delay." After Qiao Juze said this, he walked to his bow rack and took out a clip bow, which is most suitable for hunting or shooting birds.

Fang Yun's hands went through a variety of bows, and finally he chose a longbow. Compared with the clip bow or the horn bow used for horseback shooting, the longbow requires more power and takes more time to fully draw.

Then Fang Yun looked at the types of arrows. There were ear-piercing arrows designed to shoot chain mail, crescent arrows designed to shoot ropes, and kerosene arrows. Fang Yun finally chose four types.

One is an ordinary cone arrow, which is balanced in all aspects, and the other is a heavy cone arrow, where the arrowhead and arrow shaft are lengthened, heavier, and with stronger penetrating power.

The third type is the ringing arrow, which can make a harsh sound during flight. The fourth type is the half-feathered arrow, because part of the feathers are clipped. If used well, the arrow can fly in an arc, making it difficult to detect.

Fang Yun prepared more than a dozen arrows and walked forward with a long bow in hand.

When Qiao Juze saw Fang Yun using a long bow, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he closed his mouth, sighed softly, and continued shooting with his own bow.

Among the thousands of students in the audience, no one used a long bow, and most of them used clip bows.

When Xiao Guogong and Wei Yu saw Fang Yun holding a long bow, they looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly they drew their bows and shot together. Instead of shooting the wild geese in front of them, they shot at the two wild geese in front of Fang Yun.

Two wild geese screamed loudly, and the arrows brought the two wild geese down, landing in front of Fang Yun.

"Brother Fang, how are Wei Yu and I's archery skills? I wonder how long you practiced bow and arrow when you were in Ji County?" Xiao Guogong said with a smile.

Fang Yun didn't seem to see the two provocative arrows, nor did he hear the little Duke's words. He picked up the bow and arrow and practiced silently.

Qiao Juze had been observing Fang Yun, and found that Fang Yun ignored the little prince at all, and nodded lightly. He was most afraid of losing control of his emotions when entering Lingyan Pavilion. As long as he was not moved by external things, he could achieve better results.

Fang Yun first used the Singing Dysprosium Arrow. Once the Singing Dysprosium Arrow flew out, it immediately made a harsh sound, and the surrounding geese immediately experienced a brief confusion. Some geese retreated, some geese accelerated, and some geese moved to both sides.

Others would never use screech arrows in a hunting booth because such arrows would scare the geese and make it more difficult for people to shoot.

Many people felt baffled and ignored Fang Yun, while some lowered their heads in deep thought.

The young Duke and others were puzzled at first, but they found that Fang Yun's arrows were irregular and could not even hit the wild geese, so they were relieved. Now is not a time for casual play, but to get familiar with bows, arrows and wild geese. Luck couldn't be so stupid that he didn't know, it was probably because of his poor shooting skills.

Unlike others, every time Fang Yun shoots a thundering arrow, he thinks for a moment before shooting again. After shooting more than twenty arrows, he started shooting again with heavy cone arrows.

Heavy cone arrows are different from ordinary arrows in all aspects, so whether it is the bow draw time, flight speed, flight trajectory, etc., they are different from ordinary arrows. Fang Yun actually shot three arrows in succession.

"That's it! Even the gentleman's six skills of archery are so inferior, and he even boasted that he would surpass me in Haikou. It's so shameless!" After Wei Yu finished speaking, he glanced at Fang Yun disdainfully, ignored Fang Yun again, and concentrated on practicing archery.

The young Duke observed silently for a while and found that Fang Yun had actually practiced archery, but he was unfamiliar with the heavy cone arrows and was obviously not good at archery. Then he ignored Fang Yun and concentrated on practicing archery.

This Lingyan Pavilion only has one session a month, which is of great benefit to future growth and cannot be distracted.

But Qiao Juze on the side was often distracted. As a student who was devoted to Jingguo, he really couldn't let go of Fang Yun.

After trying more than a dozen arrows, Fang Yun finally shot a wild goose, but it was the wing that was shot.

Qiao Juze hurriedly said: "Wen Hou, don't worry, this is a good sign."

The young Duke next to him heard the sound and turned his head to look at the wild goose that fell to the ground. The wild goose was still alive and fluttering on the ground. Although it was still considered a hit by Fang Yun according to the rules, it was an insult to scholars that a dignified scholar could not kill a wild goose by hunting.

The young Duke smiled lightly and was too lazy to laugh at Fang Yun, and concentrated on practicing.

Next, Qiao Juze, who supported Fang Yun, was a little upset because Fang Yun's archery was so bad that he either shot at the wings or the tail, and even shot an arrow at the beak of the goose, which stunned the goose.

When Fang Yun took out the half-feathered arrow, there were twelve geese on the ground, but ten of them were still alive and kicking, and only two were killed by one arrow!

Qiao Juze suppressed his disappointment and hoped that Fang Yun's half-feathered arrow could turn decay into magic.

Fang Yun pulled the longbow to its full length, and the half-feathered arrow flew out in an arc, and finally hit a goose's eye, with incredible accuracy.

"Good!" Qiao Juze almost burst into tears. If Fang Yun's archery skills had always been so good, it would not be a problem to pass the first pavilion with six chips.

But Fang Yun said, "What's good about that? I was aiming at the goose next to it."

Qiao Juze's smile froze on his face, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Fang Yun, tell me the truth, how good is your archery?" Qiao Juze asked helplessly, even desperate enough to call Fang Yun's name directly.

"It's OK, shooting a bird or something should be no problem." Fang Yun said.

"Okay." Qiao Juze was completely out of the mood for hunting.

Fang Yun mastered the half-feather arrow very quickly. Finally, Qiao Juze found that Fang Yun stopped using half-feather arrows after hitting three geese in a row, so he whispered: "Are they all hit because they missed the target?"

Fang Yun then used ordinary cone arrows and shot three times in a row, hitting the chest and abdomen of the geese every time, which was extremely accurate, but now no one was paying attention to him, not even Qiao Juze.

After shooting three ordinary arrows, Fang Yun nodded with satisfaction.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and the geese in the sky disappeared, and the geese corpses on the ground also disappeared, and new black spots flew from the sky.

Fang Yun looked closely and found that these new geese were different from the previous ones.

The new geese flew in a slightly neat rectangular formation. At first glance, they looked like adjacent but non-touching grids, and the flying speeds of these geese varied.

The geese in front of Fang Yun flew slowly, while the geese flying towards the two Jinshi on both sides were much faster.

When the Jinshi on both sides began to bend their bows and shoot arrows, the geese in front of Fang Yun and other Juren had not yet arrived.

The Jinshi were frantically drawing their bows and shooting, while Fang Yun, like many Juren, waited silently.

Fang Yun observed the Jinshi shooting arrows and found that many of them could shoot two arrows at the same time, but their hit rate was much worse. Many of the two arrows that flew out could only hit one. No one shot three arrows at the same time. It was not that these Jinshi were not good, but the structure of the bow and arrow and the fingers of people meant that it was difficult to shoot two arrows. Shooting more arrows at the same time would inevitably affect the accuracy and strength, which was not worth the loss.

When the scholars on both sides shot and killed more than half of the wild geese, the wild geese in front of Fang Yun flew closer. Fang Yun suddenly pulled the bowstring to the full and shot the conical arrows. Then he shot arrows continuously at a speed far exceeding all the scholars. He shot ten arrows in one breath, and each arrow hit the belly of the wild goose.

During this time, the fastest scholar only shot eight arrows.

Then, Fang Yun suddenly took out a whistling arrow and an ordinary conical arrow and put them on the bow at the same time. Without any hesitation, he pulled the bowstring to the full and shot. The shooting speed was no different from before.

After shooting two arrows, Fang Yun quickly glanced at the wild geese in the sky, and then put two arrows on the bow again, one was a heavy conical arrow, and the other was an ordinary conical arrow.

When Fang Yun put the two arrows on the bow, the harsh sound of the whistling arrow sounded, and the people nearby immediately frowned. Those with good concentration did not even look at it, and some people with poor concentration or who cared about Fang Yun took a look.

These people wanted to take a look and then continue shooting, but anyone who saw this scene could not move their necks.

Two arrows flew at the same time, the ordinary arrow hit a wild goose, and the whistling arrow also hit one at the same time.

Almost at the same time, two more arrows flew out. After the new ordinary arrow hit a wild goose, the heavy cone arrow penetrated a wild goose that was frightened by the whistling arrow and flew slowly, then passed through the body and accurately stabbed the neck of the second wild goose.

"One arrow kills two birds!"

"No, it's three birds with one bow!"

As soon as the voice fell, Fang Yun shot another ordinary arrow and a heavy cone arrow, and three more wild geese fell.
