The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

"Fang Yun, wake up, wake up..."

"Oh?" Fang Yun opened his eyes in a daze, looked up, and found that there were people standing around him.

"Oh, have you finished reading thousands of books?" Fang Yun stood up, but his feet were weak and his body swayed. Seven or eight hands supported him together.

Everyone smiled at this, fearing that Fang Yun might get into trouble.

Fang Yun looked around and found that most of the people had left. He smiled and said, "It's okay, I just read too much and I'm tired. Let's leave the literary world together and go to the venue to see the number of chips."

Everyone surrounded Fang Yun and walked towards the door.

Qiao Juze said: "We almost tied with Shenguo in reading ten thousand volumes this time, but with your ten chips and the lead in the first competition, we will definitely win! We may even rank eighth, still surpassing Qingguo!"

"By the way, for some reason, the people of Qingguo and Jiaguo read a little slower than last year, and only a few people are normal."

"Let's go out and see the results."

Everyone left the competition literary world and appeared at the competition venue of the Confucius Academy, and then looked at the tall light curtain together.

The new ranking of the eleven academies has changed.

First place, Confucius Academy, 163 chips one.

Second place, Shuguo Academy, 160 chips.

Third place, Qiguo Academy, 158 chips seven.

Fourth place, Yunguo Academy, 157 chips nine,

Fifth place, Wuguo Academy, 157 chips three.

Sixth place, Jiaguo Academy, 138 chips two.

Seventh place, Yueguo Academy, 136 chips three.

Eighth place, Jing National Academy, 135 chips and 9.

Ninth place, Qing National Academy, 135 chips and 1.

Tenth place, Shen National Academy, 125 chips and 7.

Eleventh place, Gu National Academy, 62 chips.

The tenth place Shen National Academy was eliminated in this reading of ten thousand volumes, and turned gray like the eleventh place Gu National Academy.

The fourth Yun Kingdom was originally fifth after the first match, and in the second match it beat Wu Kingdom by a lot and became fourth.

In the reading of ten thousand volumes, Fang Yun got ten chips, but the other students were average, so he was surpassed by Yue Kingdom and ranked eighth.

Even though the number of chips of Jingguo students in the reading of ten thousand volumes was not as good as that of Qingguo, because they were too far ahead in the walking of ten thousand miles, their total score was still higher than that of Qingguo.

Fang Yun looked at the position of the upper Jinshi of Qingguo Academy and found that there was no one there. It turned out that they had left early.

Qiao Juze smiled and said, "Our original goal was to maintain the top ten and fight for the top nine, but we didn't expect to be ranked eighth temporarily! Fang Yun, people from all over Jingguo must be cheering for you. Accept the praise from the people of Jingguo."

Fang Yun shook his head and said, "Let's talk while we walk."

As everyone left the venue, Cui Wangxian said, "Brother Fang, we know what you are going to say. We are now less than one chip ahead of Qingguo. According to past results, Qingguo will be at least seven or eight chips ahead of my Jingguo in the next game. Even if you still get ten chips in the next game, it will only be four chips more than last year, and the possibility of winning Qingguo is very small. However, we are satisfied with suppressing Qingguo for two consecutive games."

"Yes, Brother Fang, you don't have to worry too much about this. Since you are qualified to enter the third round, you will at least be ninth, one step ahead of last year. No one can say anything to you!" You Nian said.

Fang Yun sighed and said, "Let's not talk about this, let's just discuss how to pass the 'Tour of Ten Thousand Questions'. In terms of variety, the most is to travel ten thousand miles, and both the ten thousand books and the ten thousand questions are very simple, one is to read books, and the other is to answer questions. However, the Ten Thousand Questions are different from the first two. There is a time limit, which makes it more difficult."

"Yes, someone has calculated that the average person in the Ten Thousand Questions answers 150 questions per hour, and it takes more than three hours to answer a thousand questions. This is an average. With our level, it takes at least four hours to answer them all, but the Tour of Ten Thousand Questions only gives us two hours at most! We can't answer them all! Even if someone writes hard, they may not be able to answer them all."

"In fact, it doesn't take too much time to write the answers to many questions, but it takes too much time to think. No one has ever been able to answer a thousand questions in the Tour of Ten Thousand Questions. Some people don't have enough time. Some people left it blank because they didn't know how to do the questions. "

"The most important thing is that among the 1,000 questions, 500 are about the classics of the saints, which are relatively complex words to ask the saints. We are all Jinshi, so we are not afraid. But the other 500 questions are about the content of the 1,000 books we read in the previous "Reading Ten Thousand Books". We just read them once and barely understood the meaning, how can we answer them! "

"Yes, the 500 questions are strange and some are purely difficult, and no one can answer them. If you don't know how to answer the questions, even if you have the same high-quality writing skills as Fang Zhenguo, it is useless. "

"The 1,000 books we just read are of all types. If the 500 questions are just simple filling in or memorizing the content, it is not difficult. Unfortunately, the Wantihai Tour will not test us in such a simple way. "

Everyone returned to their residence to rest and prepare for the Wantihai Tour tomorrow.

After Fang Yun returned to the room, he immediately lay on the bed and then entered the Wen Palace.

Fang Yun carefully observed the Wen Dan in the center of the sky above the Wen Palace. Compared with before, the Wen Dan is now bigger and more crystal clear, getting closer and closer to the second realm.

"The Ming Dan Bell is a treasure of the Holy Academy. There are inscriptions written by a semi-saint on the bell. It has been nourished by the holy power for a long time and is extraordinary. If a scholar's Wen Dan is covered with dust, he can use his military merits to exchange for a Ming Dan Bell to shake it and remove the dust. Even the children of the semi-saint family are not eligible to receive the free baptism of the Ming Dan Bell. They can only wait for the literary competitions like the Ten Nations Competition to have a chance."

"The first level of perfection is that the power of Wen Dan can be released to affect the outside world. The power of Wen Dan in the second level can form a substantial attack force, which can not only weaken the enemy's war poems or magic, but also have a miraculous effect on some magic that affects the mind. The strength of Wen Dan is more related to the future of the Holy Way. If Wen Dan reaches the third level, it will be more useful."

After Fang Yun looked at Wen Dan, he looked carefully at the self-statue in the deepest part of Wen Palace.

On the wrist of the statue, there was a seven-color bracelet. The bracelet was neither stone nor wood, neither gold nor jade, but like a flowing liquid.

Fang Yun was puzzled and looked carefully for a long time before he remembered that the seven-color bracelet was very similar to the light of the river of light he had entered.

"I have read that there is no record of that river in the book, nor in the ancient demon inheritance, but I think it should be one of the limited number of strange rivers. However, I don't know what this seven-color bracelet is used for."

Fang Yun observed Wen Palace again and found that in addition to the strengthening of Wen Dan and the addition of seven-color bracelets, only the murals in Wen Palace had slight changes.

Those murals originally had mythological events such as Dayu controlling floods and Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs, but they were later destroyed. Now they have become slightly flat, as if preparing for new murals.

Fang Yun left the Wen Palace and slowly recalled the past events of the "Spring and Autumn Annals" that he saw today.

The "Book of Documents" is the first history book, but it is too complicated and not completely a pure history book.

The "Spring and Autumn Annals" is the earliest existing chronological history book. Whether in terms of age or influence, it can be said to be the source of historians. In the Confucian system, the status of the "Spring and Autumn Annals" is very important. It is considered to be a profound statement, and like the "Analects of Confucius", it implies the holy way of Confucius.
