The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Everyone was shocked by Fang Yun's behavior. Everything in the Shangli Hall represented the etiquette of the Shang Dynasty. Even if they knew that the cup was not placed correctly, they could just put it in the right place. It was too scary to throw it away directly. It was simply an insult to the sages and the great etiquette.

"Is Fang Yun going to give up on himself?" A scholar whispered.

Fang Yun turned around and left the Shangli Hall, and found that some white-robed Jinshi and black-robed Juren were looking at him with strange eyes.

Fang Yun was helpless. The "Qiang" on the cup meant slaves, but even if slaves had cups, they could not have words engraved on them. That meant that the cup was either a criminal who was demoted to a slave, or a burial object. It was better to throw it in any corner than to put it formally on the wine table.

A cup is not important, but placing this kind of cup in the Shangli Hall is the biggest defilement of "etiquette", so Fang Yun believes that this simple cup can at least add two chips for himself.

Fang Yun turned around and walked forward, passing through the etiquette halls of four dynasties and entering a door. Many people followed, but the two people from Kangshe whispered a few times, one stayed where he was, and the other hurried to the fourth pavilion.

Passing through the gate, Fang Yun saw another pavilion with the words "Danbo" written on the plaque of the pavilion.

Fang Yun entered without any hesitation, and the Juren and Jinshi behind him hurriedly followed.

In the etiquette pavilion of the third pavilion, the young Duke walked out of the Zhouli Hall and looked around. He saw a Jinshi hurried over and whispered: "Your Highness, Fang Yun doesn't know what he is doing. He went to the Shangli Hall and threw away a cup. It seems that his Zhouli went wrong, so he wanted to use the Shangli Hall to gamble."

The young Duke frowned and shook his head, saying: "It is possible, but the possibility is too small. I suspect that he has read some ancient books and has a certain understanding of Shangli. I have understood at this moment that since he dared to participate in this Lingyan Pavilion and dared to expel Wei Yu from the Wen Palace, he must have a certain degree of confidence. Now the only way to defeat him is for him to abuse his talent!"

" Indeed, in the seven pavilions, the distribution of talent is also very important. If a scholar is not careful, he will fail in advance because of the exhaustion of talent. The fourth pavilion's Tanbo Pavilion is fine, Fang Yun may be able to pass it with his ability, but the fifth pavilion's "Mountain Moving Pavilion" is different. Only those who have calculated their talent to the limit can win. Every year, there are only more than ten new people in Jingguo who can reach the fifth pavilion, including scholars and Jinshi. "

"Let's go, I want to see Fang Yun's ability to Tanbo and the power of moving mountains!"

Fang Yun stepped into the Tanbo Pavilion and then found himself in a lake. The lake water was up to his chest and abdomen. It was very clear, and he could even see the fish at the bottom of the water fleeing in panic. This water is different from ordinary water. Fang Yun's body cannot avoid it, and the power of the fake dragon ball is completely ineffective.

Fang Yun immediately rolled up his sleeves, revealing two white arms. His arms were well-proportioned and powerful, which was very different from the bamboo-like arms half a year ago.

Because in the water, ripples spread in all directions, and at the same time, ten small fish jumped out of the water around Fang Yun. When the small fish came out of the water, circles of ripples were formed. The ripples spread in all directions, and different ripples kept meeting and intersecting.

Then, the small fish fell into the water, forming a second layer of ripples. Soon, another small fish jumped out of the water, forming ripples.

Fang Yun stared at the ripples with a cold look.

The so-called playing waves is to use the ripples on the water surface as strings, and play the ripples on the water surface in the way of playing the piano to make sounds. If it is light, it will be silent, and if it is heavy, the ripples will be interrupted. It is an extremely harsh test of finger strength and piano.

These ripples are as gentle as ordinary water ripples, and it is impossible to play without talent.

Just this fourth pavilion has stumped countless talents. Many people who are not proficient in the piano can hardly play a complete song with water waves even if they go to learn it specially.

Fang Yun carefully observed the crisscrossing water waves. The sound of the water waves was just the beginning. The collision of the water waves behind was fatal.

Although Fang Yun had read the books given to him by Zhao Hongzhuang and had reached the first level of the zither, he had never played the water waves.

Fortunately, people were given a quarter of an hour to practice here, but those who had been here once did not need to practice and could start playing the water waves directly.

Fang Yun took a deep breath, and his talent surged. He controlled the vitality of heaven and earth to gather at his fingertips, and then tried to pluck the water waves.

The moment his fingers fell on the water waves, the water waves suddenly broke, making a harsh sound of a broken string, which made Fang Yun frown.

At the same time, one person after another appeared in the lake, and their appearance also formed ripples, making the wave-playing pavilion more difficult.

Fang Yun looked calm, as if he did not see these people, and tried to play the waves again.

This time the ripples trembled slightly, without interruption, but there was no sound, because the force was too small.

Fang Yun kept trying, and soon all the ripples made sounds.

Playing the waves is only the first step, the second step is to distinguish the sound. Each wave corresponds to one of the seven strings, and only by making the correct judgment can the accurate sound be played.

After distinguishing the sound, it is "changing fingers". The seven strings of the Yaoqin are fixed, but the water waves come from all directions, densely packed and endless, so the previous fingering needs to be changed accordingly.

Fang Yun began to consume his talent while practicing.

The others shook their heads. Fang Yun became a juren less than two months ago. Even if his talent is more than that of ordinary juren, it should not exceed five inches. According to his consumption method, his talent is definitely not enough to support him to pass the fourth pavilion.

Soon, Fang Yun discovered another huge obstacle, that is, there were people playing the waves constantly. The waves and sounds of the other party would affect him. If he was not careful, he would play wrong. This was the biggest problem in going to the Lingyan Pavilion together.

Therefore, even if countries usually spent more talent, they were unwilling to go to the Lingyan Pavilion together to avoid affecting their own students.

During Fang Yun's practice, more and more people entered the wave-playing pavilion.

Fang Yun ignored everything outside and kept practicing. He not only spent his talent playing, but also spent his talent thinking. He made rapid progress, and those who had been observing him were secretly shocked.

Not long after, Wei Yu came in. He turned his head and laughed, saying: "Fang Zhenguo, today is the day when your strings break and your piano cracks!" After that, he didn't even need to practice, and started playing the waves directly.

Wei Yu closed his eyes first, then opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath, and his hands were as soft as snowflakes falling. When his index finger landed on the first ripple, the water surface within a radius of one mile suddenly trembled slightly, and the water surface sank an inch.

Fang Yun immediately felt that his hands seemed to be surrounded by an invisible force, becoming more sluggish.

"Qin Dao suppresses!" Some people whispered softly, and simply gave up playing the waves, not touching the water with their hands, and carefully observed Wei Yu.

"After all, he is in the second realm of Qin Dao, which is different! Look at his fingers, like butterflies flying, it is a kind of enjoyment to watch."

"People like them have been specially trained since childhood. In order to enter the upper house, Wei Yu studied riding and shooting, Qin Dao, chess Dao and calligraphy. Except for painting Dao, he is a leader among his peers."

"If Fang Yun is given another three years, Wei Yu may be suppressed by Fang Yun, but now..."

Everyone looked at Fang Yun and saw that the water waves in front of Fang Yun were either broken or silent. After more than ten breaths, he did not play successfully once. He was suppressed too much by the second realm of Qin Dao.
