The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

The Qing people left, Tong Li left, but the celebration banquet in Jinghai Tower continued.

The resentment accumulated for seventeen years was released in one day, and no one could control their emotions.

The people in Jinghai Tower were drunk, and half of the people in Yuhai City were drunk.

Fang Yun could no longer tell whether this was a celebration banquet or a drinking banquet. Anyway, he was constantly toasted and drank. If he hadn't had talent in his body, he would have lay down under the table long ago.

When the celebration banquet was about to end, Governor Dong took out the rewards of this dragon boat literary meeting, two cultural treasures of Juren, a dragon blood ink ingot, and a mountain and river chessboard.

One of the two cultural treasures is the Canglang pen, which uses talent to transform the war poem "Canglang Xing" to form a big wave, and the other is the mountain inkstone, which carries the power of "Shanyue Fu" and can be transformed into the power of the mountain to protect oneself.

The mountain and river chessboard is more precious than the other three combined.

There are a total of six people participating in the dragon boat race. Fang Yun has made the greatest contribution, so Fang Yun is not polite and chooses the mountain and river chessboard.

However, the other five people refused to take the other three items, saying that Fang Yun washed away the shame of the whole city, and gave up the limelight to let Qian Juren win the brocade. If they dared to take the reward, not to mention being criticized by the whole city, they might be splashed with ink and smashed by those old scholars before they even left Jinghai Tower.

Fang Yun was not blinded by greed, and insisted that he alone could not win the game. The other five people had contributed, so he could not take it all.

The six people gave and gave, and finally had to ask Dong Zhifu to judge. Dong Zhifu decided to distribute according to merit, so he gave both the Shanchuan chessboard and the dragon blood ink ingot to Fang Yun, and then asked Fang Yun to choose one between the Canglang pen and the Shanyue ink inkstone, and the remaining one was shared by the other five people.

Fang Yun could only accept this distribution method that was beneficial to him, and chose the Shanyue ink inkstone with strong protective ability, and one person took three prizes.

Prefect Dong asked Fang Yun to put the Shanchuan chessboard away. This Shanchuan chessboard did not carry the war poems, so it was not a literary treasure, but only a raw material. However, even so, it was enough to exchange for a Jinshi Wenbao. After all, the entire Shengyuan Continent only produced a few pieces a year, and it was a top-grade chessboard in the eyes of Go masters.

After the celebration banquet, Fang Yun returned with a full load. This Dragon Boat Literary Meeting not only obtained treasures that could not be bought with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but also completely became famous in Yuhai City, and officially laid a solid foundation for literary fame in Yuhai City.

When I got home, the concierge handed over many visiting cards and invitations, as well as the holy pages sent by Tong Li. With the holy page rewards sent by the Holy Academy before, I already had seven holy pages in my hand. Fang Yun believed that Li Wenying's personal holy pages were not so many, and most of them were used.

When it comes to June, the rewards for "The Holy Way" in May will be issued, and then there will be eight more holy pages.

Fang Yun tasted the sweetness of carrying the holy pages with him last time, and decided to carry two pages with him in the future to prevent accidents.

On the night of the Dragon Boat Festival, Feng Zimo, the prefect of Yuhai Prefecture, came to Li's Mansion in Dayuan Prefecture and entered Li Wenying's study under the guidance of the servants.

"Your subordinate greets Lord Li." Feng Zimo bowed respectfully.

"Zimo, why do you come here in person?" Li Wenying asked kindly.

"Your Excellency, Shi Jun's disciple Shi Dehong, for his own selfish desires, tried to use the power of Xunzi's family to seduce the imperial examination inspectors of the Holy Academy to come to Yuhai to inspect the prefectural examination in June, intending to prevent Fang Yun from competing for the title of Maocai, disturb his mind, and prevent him from going to the Book Mountain. Shi Dehong is Shi Jun's disciple, and he is also connected with the Semi-Saint family. This subordinate cannot deal with it, so I came here to ask your Excellency to make a decision."

"Bold!" Li Wenying shouted in a low voice, echoing throughout the room, and the invisible power spread in all directions. There were no mosquitoes, flies or pests where Li Wenying lived, but there were in the neighbor's house. Now he shouted, and the pests in all the houses within half a mile were frightened and fled.

People nearby were amazed at the pests scattered all over the sky and migrating everywhere, not knowing what had happened.

"Tell me the whole story in detail." Li Wenying said.

"Yes!"

Feng Zimo told the whole story, and then he secretly looked at Li Wenying, guessing that he would be as furious as before, and might even kill him in Yuhai Mansion.

Although Shi Dehong was the disciple of this generation's Shi Jun, and this generation's Shi Jun's talent was stronger than Li Wenying, Li Wenying was the first person in the previous generation except for the four great talents. He became a university scholar earlier than this generation's Shi Jun, and was enough to kill this generation's Shi Jun. He was not afraid of killing a mere Shi Jun's disciple.

Unexpectedly, Li Wenying was not angry, but smiled contemptuously and said, "Stupid. Go back. I will handle this matter while I am editing the book and my friends from the Mengzi family."

Feng Zimo didn't know what method Li Wenying used, but he was relieved to see that he was confident and said, "On the day of the provincial examination, if the imperial examination inspectors of the Holy Academy participate in the examination, what should we do?"

"Don't lose the backbone of the Jing people. If he dares to embarrass Fang Yun, the day he leaves the examination room is the day he will be buried!" Li Wenying said.

Feng Zimo thought to himself that this was the famous wind and rain sword poet Li Wenying, who killed all the monsters that could be killed and all the people who could be killed.

"I will take my leave."

Feng Zimo walked out of the Li Mansion and looked up at the brightest Wenqu Star in the sky.

"If Fang Yun made mistakes in the provincial examination and failed to get a talent, I will kill Shi Dehong and Tong Li to break Fang Yun's dilemma!" Feng Zimo made up his mind, his literary courage was clear, and his steps were brisk.

After the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May, on the morning of the sixth day, Fang Yun hung a notice outside the door saying "No visitors", declined all social engagements, and concentrated on studying at home.

Everything returned to normal. Fang Yun began to recite the original works of the saints every day, then picked up his pen and practiced calligraphy, specializing in willow-style block letters. After that, he quickly read the annotations and scriptures of the great Confucian scholars in Qishu Tiandi, every morning, noon and evening. Write a sutra and send it to your neighbor Pang Juren for comment.

Every five days, Feng Zimo, the emperor of the imperial court, would personally come to give guidance on the meaning of Fang Yun Jing, and point out the shortcomings in the meaning of Fang Yun Jing without politeness.

Qishu Tiandi allows Fang Yun to learn a large amount of knowledge in a faster and more effective way. His literary courage makes his will stronger, and his talent makes his thinking more flexible and his mind smarter. It is to improve him comprehensively, so his progress is extremely rapid.

Every time Feng Zimo pointed out the shortcomings in the meaning of the classics, Fang Yun would write them down with a pen and think about them repeatedly. If they could be improved, they would improve them; if they could not, they would avoid them. In this way, he will make the same mistake twice at most, but never a third time.

A month flies by.

On May 30th, Feng Zimo came to Fang Yun's house again and carefully reviewed the meaning of these scriptures written by Fang Yun. He found that except for the in-depth explanation of these scriptures in some places, he could not find any mistakes. In the government examination, it will definitely be a B grade.

Feng Zimo was extremely pleasantly surprised and praised: "No wonder your saying 'change it if you have it, and encourage it if you don't' will trigger the voice of the holy way. You really learned and applied this sentence, good!"

Fang Yun was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, no wonder he always found errors the fastest these days when compiling scriptures, so he firmly remembered that there were no more than three mistakes. It turned out that those eight words played a certain role, and he felt sorry for this in his heart. A deeper understanding of the power of the world.

"That's it! The Holy Scriptures are not only knowledge, not just principles, but also power! It's just that it's difficult for ordinary people to exert them, but if you can really touch the Holy Way, you can completely turn those knowledge and principles into your own power ! I just knew it before, but I finally realized it today!”

"Writing is used to convey the Tao. It is not only to use articles to explain and spread principles, but also to use articles to carry one's own holy way and one's own power. No wonder these eight characters can form a dragon gate, allowing those ordinary fish to become enlightened. Dragon's possibility, because these eight words contain the power of 'correctness'."

Fang Yun was happy and beaming.

Feng Zimo on the side slowly took a few steps back and nodded happily.

After a while, Fang's luck returned to normal and he found that his talent had gone further and increased to three inches.

Feng Zimo smiled and said: "I just gave you a few words, and you were able to quickly understand the truth. You are truly a genius. Do you often realize this?"

Fang Yun immediately repeated his old trick and said: "When I was a child, I liked to sit by the river and think. Maybe the experience during that period made me better at understanding various truths."

Feng Zimo said: "I remember the river in your home. You have said many times that many of your achievements today are based on that river. When the government examination is over, I will go to the river in your hometown to think about it. , maybe there is magical power there that allows me to enlighten like you."

"...Maybe." Fang Yun sweated in his heart. The so-called enlightenment by the river was just nonsense to cover up inspirations such as "The Rhyme of the Fox" and "The Three-Character Classic". If Feng Zimo really went there, he would definitely not be able to do anything. occur.

Feng Zimo smiled and said: "If it's thanks to you, I can also enlighten the Tao by the river. There must be something magical there. I will ask my friends to go there to comprehend the Holy Tao."

Fang Yun could only pray in his heart: Don't ever enlighten yourself. If you happen to enlighten yourself and spread rumors, you don't know what trouble will happen.

Feng Zimo said: "This year's government examination was originally scheduled for June 15th, but I heard that due to changes in the celestial phenomena, the semi-sage moved it to the first day of the lunar month, which is very detrimental to you. You must not be careless. Your invitation words and poems It's not bad. It's not difficult to get a B grade in the classics, but it's still a bit difficult to get an A grade. However, I think your scriptures often have surprising words and are full of novelty, but if you think about it carefully, they are reasonable. This may be. The key to your understanding of the first-rate scriptures.”

Fang Yun said: "Thank you Master Feng for your guidance, I will carry forward this point."

"Children can be taught."

Fang Yun understood in his heart that Feng Zimo's so-called "amazing words and novel scenes" were actually what he had learned and heard on Earth. Many things he had forgotten originally, but because of the talent empowerment and his stronger mind, those vague memories became Clearly, the knowledge that he could not remember originally gradually deepened and had an impact on him, allowing him to "make amazing remarks."

If those astonishing words were written in ancient times on Earth, they would definitely be attacked by groups. However, in Shengyuan Continent, these scholars will take it seriously with an objective attitude. As long as it is reasonable and well-founded and does not violate the holy way, no matter how ridiculous things are, they will be attacked. Acceptable.
