The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

"It's already unbelievable to be taught in an ordinary lecture academy, let alone to lecture in the Yuexi Academy, which is the leader of all the colleges in Jingguo." A Jinshi sighed.

"You must have at least a bachelor's degree to teach in the Yuexi Academy. It is unprecedented for a scholar to give lectures in the Yuexi Academy. Generally speaking, it is a great honor for a scholar to be able to attend lectures in the Yuexi Academy!"

"Since Jingguo left Fang Zhenguo, there have been more and more strange things happening."

Fang Yun smiled helplessly and said: "Master Wen Xiang really thinks highly of me. In fact, an ordinary lecture academy is enough, why choose the largest Yuexi Academy."

"Instead of using the largest lecture hall, why not use the small lecture halls? Do you want others to squat on the wall and listen to the lectures?"

Fang Yun imagined that scene and laughed with the others.

Fang Yun looked out the window and saw that the crowd began to flow outwards, and there were fewer and fewer people in front of Lingyun Tower.

The owner of the restaurant came in to thank him and presented him with a jar of good wine.

Many students laughed and chatted in the Tianzihao room. After drinking and eating, Fang Yun wrote the "Shence Army Monument" in public, which attracted repeated praises from everyone. Some people who were proficient in calligraphy even looked intoxicated and turned to Fang after the evaluation. Please ask for advice.

Someone asked Fang Yun what he got from the Qiting Pavilion, but Fang Yun always smiled and said nothing.

On the way to eat, Zeng Yuan, who was far away in Kongcheng, passed a message.

"Fang Yun, in the demon world's hunting list of bachelors, you rose from eleventh to tenth yesterday, and to ninth today. The hunting list of bachelors only changes once every ten years. It's good for you, you rose in one month. Several times.”

"As long as you don't rank first on the bachelor's hunting list, the demon clan won't take action. If nothing happens, you can survive for a while."

"The problem is that according to this trend, the demon world may activate the Moon Tree Divine Punishment in advance. Fortunately, more than 30% of the demon saints are wandering in various realms, and there is only one sub-sage left. If all the demon saints gather together and launch the legendary All Saints Divine Punishment, No one can save you, and may even destroy everything you left in the world. Your poems, articles, and even our memories of you may be erased.”

Fang Yun frowned involuntarily after reading the letter, and continued to communicate with Zeng Yuan in the noisy Tianzihao room.

"I have made a great oath of two realms with all the saints. If they use the Moon Tree Divine Punishment against me within three years of the oath, they will definitely be counterattacked by the great oath of two realms and pay a heavy price. Although this price is bearable, But the blow to the demon clan is huge, and we must be fully prepared. Why do they take such a big risk?”

"I got news from Beisheng Pavilion that the only sub-sage of the demon clan seems to be preparing to leave the demon world. Once he is far away from the demon world, the backlash of the two worlds' great oaths will be very weak to him. Therefore, once you enter the bachelor hunt prematurely, Bang, that demon sub-saint will unite all the saints to punish you with the Moon Tree Divine Punishment. He uses his sub-sage body to resist the backlash from the two realms, and then escapes far away, which is enough to minimize the price. "

Fang Yun replied: "In this case, it is more likely that the demon clan will attack me in advance. I have no choice but to pray to the saints for help."

"This... Once the Moon Tree Divine Punishment is launched, I, the saints of the human race, may only be able to stop part of the power, and some of the power will inevitably affect you. Even just one ten thousandth of the power is enough to wipe you out. You are now in a dilemma, If Wen Wei fails to progress bravely and diligently, he may be killed by the reverse species or the demon clan; if he advances too quickly, he will face the punishment of the Moon Tree God..."

"I also know about this. Rather than being killed by those reverse species or ordinary monsters, it is better to die under the punishment of the Moon Tree. Once the monsters activate the punishment of the Moon Tree, and a sub-sage leaves, the power of the monsters will It will inevitably shrink, and the two world mountains and other places will be much more stable, and the human race will be more stable for at least ten years, and I will die well. "

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the saints will definitely find a way. But when it comes to a realm of divine punishment, you are powerless to do anything. The only thing you can do is to continue studying."

Fang Yun replied with a smile: "Then I will work harder and try my best to pass the Jinshi exam before I die. At least I can leave a name in history after my death."

"Don't say such depressing words. By the way, I forgot to congratulate you on becoming the first son of Juren Lingyan Pavilion! What kind of incomplete literary mind do you have?"

"Let's not discuss this matter."

"Okay, this is a secret. It may be a way to save your life in the future. It cannot be leaked in advance. Are you prepared for the Ten Nations Competition?"

"I know a little bit, but I'm not ready yet."

"In September, there will be the Jinshi Examination, and in October, there will be the Ten Kingdoms Competition. Ten Shangshe Jinshi from each country's academies are eligible to participate. There are very few people like you and Yan Yukong who were admitted to the Shangshe when they were promoted, but many saints The Xu candidates pass through the Comet Corridor, and this year there are many candidates who have entered the upper house. The rankings in the annual competition determine the number of candidates and Jinshi from each country in the second year, so the Ten-Nation Competition is particularly important."

"I know all these things. Starting from tomorrow, I will probably prepare for the Ten Kingdoms Competition. After that, if the Dragon Platform is not opened, I will concentrate on studying until the Jinshi Examination."

"In this year's Ten-Nation Competition, Jingguo will be ranked higher with you. That Ji Zhibai is also a momentary hero. If you two work together, it will be enough to revive Jingguo. But I heard that Ji Zhibai is the left prime minister. Disciple, you have to be careful."

"After all, he is also from Jingguo. At least nothing will happen to him during the Ten Nations Competition. You can rest assured about this."

After a while, Fang Yun didn't see Zeng Yuan's reply and started joking with others. Not long after, Zeng Yuan replied: "I told my family that all news about you should be sent to me as soon as possible. I just got a piece of news. Regarding Ji Zhibai, I really didn’t expect that the Lei family would be involved.”

"What happened? Ji Zhibai colluded with the Lei family?"

"It can be said that there is collusion, but there is no evidence. Ji Zhibai has sent out a letter saying that he was surrounded by barbarians and fought to the death, but his literary courage was damaged, so he resigned and left the academy and gave up his position as a scholar."

Fang Yun looked at the letter in a daze.

Qiao Juze on the side noticed that Fang Yun had a strange look on his face even though they were having a great time chatting, and asked softly: "Brother Fang, what's wrong?"

The room fell silent, and everyone looked at Fang Yun.

Fang Yun slowly raised his head and said, "There may be a Shangshe Jinshi who wants to withdraw from the academy. Who can verify it?"

The expressions of many students changed. The Ten Nations Competition was about to begin. This was not good news.

"Let me ask." Qiao Juze said.

Many students then launched inquiries about their personal connections.

Not long after, a Jinshi shouted: "Ji Zhibai quits the academy!"

"What? How could he retreat! Without him, the Ten Kingdoms would be even more worried than I, Jingguo!"

"Why did Ji Zhibai quit? How could Ji Zhibai quit!"

"Our hopes in Jingguo have been pinned on him and Fang Yun, how could he escape from the battlefield!"

"Everyone, please be patient. I have received definite information. Ji Zhibai was attacked by barbarians when he was out. In the end, he tried his best to kill all the barbarians. However, in order to save the remaining officers and soldiers, he did not hesitate to use the power of literature and courage repeatedly. As a result, the Wen Dan Wen Palace was damaged and he needed to rest for a long time. He could continue to govern Ning County, but he could not participate in the Ten Kingdoms Wen Competition. "

There was silence in the guest room, and then there were sighs.

Only a few people are thoughtful and occasionally take a look at Fang Lun.
