The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

"Good Luck!"

"Good Luck!"

…

The ten people in the house raised their glasses together and drank it all in one gulp.

Fang Yun had no choice but to put down his wine glass. Today, Ben said he would rather not drink, but Qiao Juze and others said they had to celebrate, so they had no choice but to drink.

Qiao Juze said with a smile: "When I get home tonight, I will recommend today's events to the next issue of "Wenbao". I have already thought of the title, 'Fang Yun's talk and laughter will last forever, Lei Jiu escapes from Jingguo Restaurant in embarrassment'. Give it to Lei again A tough lesson for my family! You can come here in Jingguo, but it’s not that easy to leave!”

"The Lei family has always been domineering in Jingguo. Lei Yuanting didn't even give up the dignity of an ordinary Hanlin official. But when he saw Fang Yun, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He laughed to death."

"Why didn't I know that Lei Yuanting was so witty before? Covering his mouth, holding hands, turning around and finally jumping off the building, all in one go. I would never have been able to do it otherwise."

"The same goes for Lei Jiu. When Lei Yuanting covered his mouth, his eyes went blank. He had no idea what was going on."

"Lei Yuanting must have been scolding while running. The last time he lost to Fang Yun on the Double Ninth Festival, it was not a shame, but this time he lost all face. When he kicked the door, he was aggressive, but when he jumped off the building, he was like a bereaved dog. The Lei family The enemies will definitely smile when they find out."

"I am sending this matter to a friend of mine from Jiaguo. He has been bullied by the Lei family and will definitely be happy."

"You guys are so bad." Fang Yun said with a smile.

Unexpectedly, everyone said in unison: "You are the worst!" After saying this, they burst into laughter.

"Brother Fang, do you have a good idea about 'Yansuo Pondliu'?" Younian asked.

Fang Yun smiled and said nothing, pouring wine for himself.

"Selling off! Once this letter is published in the "Wenbao", there will definitely be scholars who can match it!"

"Not necessarily. There's a huge difference between being able to match up and being a good match. I've been thinking about this match. It's hard! It's hard! It's hard!"

"Forget it, let's talk about this later. Now that we have suppressed the spirit of the Lei family, let's get down to business." After Qiao Juze finished speaking, he looked at everyone.

Everyone looked up and had no objections to Qiao Juze presiding over the topic. Although Fang Yun was the most talented, he had just come to the academy and did not know enough about all aspects. Unlike Qiao Juze, who had been studying in Jingguo Academy for nearly ten years since he was a scholar. .

Qiao Juze continued: "For our nine Jinshi, there are only two things to do in the next few months. The first thing is naturally the Ten-Nation Competition in October. This is the country's 'literary competition' competition. The decision is made. The allocation of imperial examination quotas for the year is the most important, and the annual Jinshi Spring Hunt during the Lantern Festival is second only to the annual ancient land hunt. It is a "civil war" battle that rewards outstanding people from various countries. The rewards are always generous, as you must know.”

Fang Yun nodded.

Qiao Juze continued: "But you are different from us. After the Ten Kingdoms Competition, on the first day of December, you will participate in the Jinshi Examination to compete for the 'Hui Yuan' among the three Yuan. After the first month, You are busier than us in the Ten Kingdoms Opening Examination. In addition to the Jinshi Examination, you may also enter the Denglong Platform."

Everyone looked at Fang Yun with envy.

Fang Yun said: "I originally didn't know if the Dragon Climbing Platform could be opened this year, but Lei Jiu came to the capital, probably for my Dragon Climbing Stone, which shows that the Lei family thinks that the Dragon Climbing Platform can be opened this year."

"It should be so. However, the number of places for climbing the Dragon Platform in the past years is less than that of the Holy Ruins, and the human race has never had more than ten people. This year, there are rumors that all the saint families gathered in the Holy Academy, and then sent several great scholars to the Dragon Palace, willing to use a large number of The Dragon Clan needs to exchange for many Dragon Climbing Stones, so there should be more places than in previous years.”

Fang Yun said happily: "This is a good thing, you will definitely have a chance."

Unexpectedly, the other nine people either smiled bitterly or shook their heads. Gongyang Yu said with a slightly complaining tone: "You are not us, so naturally you don't understand. It is absolutely impossible for us, the descendants of the aristocratic family, to get something as rare as the Denglong Stone." Or the in-laws have some privileges and can easily enter the capital academy. , it is not difficult to enter the Confucius Academy. If you are outstanding, you will have the opportunity to enter the Holy Academy after becoming a Jinshi. However, the disciples of the master's family are eligible to enter the Holy Academy directly when they are scholars. They will be taught by Hanlin and even great scholars, and they can listen to lectures by great Confucian scholars every month. , How can we compare to being nourished by the talents of the Holy Academy?”

Ye Shoumo said: "You are young and have heard little. Don't think that the disciples of the saint family in the Holy Academy are all dedicated to studying. There are many places where they can be tempered. There are many tempering skills formed by the semi-sacred literary world. Before they became Jinshi, they were not much different from us due to the influence of words and tactics. But after becoming Jinshi, they developed their own quarrels and the gap with us will quickly widen. "

"You have also encountered Lei Jiu's talent Jianyin, and it took the three of us to suppress him. He is also among the outstanding in the Holy Academy, but he is only at the end of the outstanding. There are some geniuses, they are poems, songs, and even music, chess, calligraphy and painting They are all mediocre, but they have great talents in literary warfare. They have experienced countless fights, and they can beat us with equally powerful war poems and equally powerful verbal attacks. "

Fang Yun nodded. He listened less but read more. The gap between Jinshi and Juren was too big. Starting from Jinshi, once the gap widened, the gap in the future would also accelerate and widen, aggravating the polarization.

Fang Yun said: "I have heard that the best scholar in the Holy Academy can barely defeat three against the best in the ten countries, and it is almost impossible to defeat more than one. However, the best Jinshi in the Holy Academy, with their powerful With words and swords, one can fight against five, and the best can even 'break seven swords'."

"Yes, for a ferocious man like Duke Jianmei, even if ten ordinary bachelors with the same degree pursue him, he will still be killed one after another. So some people always say that everyone is the foundation of the human race, but the support These foundations are geniuses who are as bright as the stars, and strong men who are as brilliant as the sun and the moon." Qiao Juze said.

"Fang Yun, you are already as bright as a star, but we hope you will be as brilliant as the moon!" Cui Wang looked at Fang Yun, still shy, but with firm eyes.

"I will work hard!" Fang Yun smiled, his tone equally firm.

Qiao Juze said: "If nothing else happens, the Dragon Climbing Platform should be opened after the Ten Kingdoms Competition and before the Jinshi Examination. Except for you, all the others will be Jinshi of the main family of the All Saints. Even geniuses know the plan. Bai is not qualified to enter. Climbing the Dragon Platform is a part of the Dragon Realm. Even the trivial benefits are of great value and cannot be touched by ordinary geniuses. "

"When entering the Holy Ruins, personal strength is more important. But when entering the Denglong Platform, it is more important than the heritage of the family. Even the declining semi-saint families cannot touch it." Cui Wang sighed lightly.

You Nian's eyes flashed, and he whispered: "Marquis Fang Wen, before entering the Dragon Platform, try to stay as simple as possible. Except for interacting with us Shangshe Jinshi, he rarely goes to other gatherings or cultural gatherings, including gatherings with fellow Jiangzhou residents. Wait for ten When I went to the Confucian Academy, I also tried to have as little contact with other people as possible.”

Fang Yun's eyes narrowed, and he vaguely understood what You Nian wanted to say.

The other Shangshe Jinshi were thoughtful.

Qiao Juze sighed and said: "Actually, Brother You can tell me this matter directly. I thought about it before coming here today. Fang Yun, this Dragon Climbing Stone, especially the Lei Family's Climbing Dragon Stone, is enough to make more than half of the saints and aristocratic families jealous. Even if the Lei family doesn't blame you, many Semi-Saint families still want to get this Dragon Climb Stone from you. Of course, they won't take it, but there will definitely be endless ways of coercion and inducement."

Fang Yun said helplessly: "I didn't know. Many of the greeting cards that came to the back of Lingyan Pavilion were sent by the Semi-Saint Family through intermediaries in the capital. If I meet, I will definitely ask about this matter, so it's a headache. Not going to the party.”

Cui Wang said: "Brother Fang, I am not doubting your strength, nor am I being entrusted by others. I just thought rationally that when you entered the Dragon Climbing Platform, you were just lifting people, and the harvest must be very small. It is better to exchange this Lei Family Climbing Dragon Stone for The actual value of a precious divine object, such as a whole dragon bone, may not be as good as the dragon bone, but having the dragon dragon bone means there is a chance to get a bigger treasure, so the Half-Saint family is absolutely willing to use the dragon bone. Exchange with you."

Ke Yuan said: "I don't know what Brother Fang thinks. If it were me, I would definitely exchange a whole dragon bone."

Fang Yun smiled and didn't know how to answer. In fact, he doesn't have much desire for the Dragon Climbing Platform itself, but the problem is that he got the "Dragon's Breath Stone Carving" from the Fierce Lord at the Comet Corridor, and Yaoman was even willing to exchange it for the Star King, which is precisely related to the Dragon Climbing Platform.

The treasures involved in the dragon's breath stone carving can purify the blood of the dragon barbarians.

Fang Yun later thought about it carefully and realized that the treasure related to the Dragon's Breath Stone Carving must be the holy blood of the dragon clan, and it was the blood of the dragon saint of the ancient dragon clan. That thing was different. If the blood of the Dragon Saint could be integrated into a war poem, then the power of the war poem would be unknown. Having that thing would be like gaining an extra life.

What's more, what Fang Yun really needs cannot be exchanged for the Denglong Stone, but what he can exchange for the Denglong Stone is not lacking at all.

"What are your thoughts? Don't worry, if you don't change, we will never discuss this matter again." Qiao Juze said.

Fang Yun thought for a moment and said: "I want to go to the Dragon Clan Terrace, mainly because I want to see the ancient land of the Dragon Clan. It would be better if I gain something, and it can broaden my horizons even if I don't gain anything. It is said that the scenery in the Dragon Climb Terrace is special, the ground is like floating clouds, and the clouds are like the sea. It would be a pity if I couldn’t see it in person.”

"Okay, then let's first wish you good luck on the Dragon Climbing Platform. With your ability, as long as you make friends with the children of familiar aristocratic families, no one will kill you. At most, they will suppress you." Younian said.

"I know very well that many ancient lands have almost nothing to do with the Holy Yuan Continent, so the power of oaths or holy ways cannot be restrained. Naturally, some people can attack their own people without any scruples. However, the main enemies of my human race on the Dragon Platform are demons. Man, at least when there are many people, no one will kill me," Fang Yun said.

"Anyway, just be careful. You have the Lei Family Climbing the Dragon Stone, which gives you a huge advantage. There must be many Jinshi who are willing to go with you. Just be careful of the demons and barbarians. After talking about the Climbing the Dragon Platform, let's talk about ten things. National University Competition. Let me give you an overview first.

"The Ten Kingdoms Competition will begin on the first day of October. It will be held at the Confucius Academy, but the actual competition will use the literary power of the Holy Academy..."
