The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1183 Rewards and Punishments

"Can you explain in detail?" Ye Fangge asked.

Fang Yun said: "It's very simple. The Dragon Clan respects the east. The gates of many buildings face east and west. The orientation of a small residence may change due to layout problems, but the main entrance of a large building must face the west. This first step is to determine The direction of this Dragon City ruins."

"Just the direction is not enough. We need accurate directions. After all, this place may be thousands of miles away." Liu Shanadao said.

"Yes, that's why I said landmark buildings. The architectural layout of the Dragon Clan is very particular. For example, the ruins of Dragon City must be centered on the Five Dragons Hall, so some buildings will have "guard layouts" on the tops, such as Some of the animal carvings above the main hall make surrender gestures in the direction of the Five Dragons Hall. However, as everyone has seen, almost all the main halls here have no roofs, so it is difficult to find other landmarks..."

Fang Yun said some basic things one after another, but some things involved the secrets of the dragon clan, so he couldn't tell them all.

"Yun Fang is a talented nephew, no wonder Brother Zhaochen brought you here. With you, we can save at least ten hours!" Liu Shan'a praised.

"More than just saving time, if we run around like headless flies and encounter those murderous bear tribes, we may be completely wiped out." Ye Fangge said.

Yun Zhaochen smiled and said: "From now on, Yun Fang will direct our direction. Who objects?"

Lian Pingchao said: "I don't object to Yun Fang leading the way, but if he leads the wrong way or sends us to death, how will we be punished?"

Fang Yun retorted: "The problem now is that no one can quickly find the location of the Five Dragons Hall except me. What's the point of punishing those who have the courage to do things? As for punishment, it naturally has to be compared with rewards. If I find the Five Dragons Hall If there is no reward, why punish?”

Liu Shan'a and the others looked at Fang Yun and smiled, thinking that this Hanlin was young, but his mind was very flexible and he could make sense of key sentences. If he were an ordinary Hanlin, he might have used other methods to refute, but Fang Yun's rebuttal was even more serious. Furthermore, Lian Pingchao must either give up punishment. Once punishment is required, corresponding rewards must be provided.

Lian Pingchao had a sullen face and said after a moment: "After we leave here, we will distribute the spoils. Except for what we have snatched, the other items will be divided equally. If you can really find the Five Dragons Hall within ten hours, you are allowed to choose from it. A treasure. If you can't find it, you have to accept the punishment, and you won't move at all when the treasure is distributed."

Yun Zhaochen said before Fang Yun: "I don't agree with punishing Yun Fang, don't mention it again! If Yun Fang takes the initiative to lead the way and accepts the punishment, I'm afraid it will chill everyone's heart! As for rewards, Brother Pingchao That's good, as long as Yun Fang finds the Five Dragons Hall in advance, he can choose an additional shared trophy. "

"Brother Yun, you are too biased to help your distant nephew!" Lian Pingchao suppressed his anger and said, "There are only rewards and no punishments. If you want to give him benefits, you can say so!"

Fang Yun smiled and said: "Mr. Pingchao, let's do the math. As a reward, you only let me pick one item, but as a punishment, you make me give up all the treasures. This punishment is too heavy."

"If there is no severe punishment, how can there be any punishment?"

"You're right. If you don't give a big reward, the reward will be meaningless." Fang Yun said.

Ye Fangge said: "Pingchao, I heard that you robbed... no, you found a lot of dragon-grained rice and holy blood jade in the past two years. Since you want to reward Fang Yun, why not give your Qingyang City's holy blood jade and dragon... Take out the grain rice. Not much, just a thousand pounds of dragon grain rice and fifty pounds of holy blood jade."

Lian Pingchao's expression changed drastically and he said angrily: "Ye Fangge, I have a close relationship with you, why do you need to help an outsider like this!"

"Brother Pingchao was joking. I just made a suggestion. If you don't agree, you can say it clearly. Why get angry." Ye Fangge said seriously, his expression as calm as usual.

Fang Yun said: "I think Mr. Fangge's suggestion is good. Since the punishment for me is so severe, it is reasonable to increase the reward of a thousand kilograms of dragon grain rice. As for the fifty kilograms of holy blood jade, I don't want it for now. If I make another meritorious service, It’s not too late to increase the reward. Mr. Pingchao, what do you think?”

Lian Pingchao was so angry that the white beard on his chin trembled. He glared at Fang Yun and said: "Okay, very good! You, Hanlin, not only want to reward you, but you also want to continue to increase the reward. I, Lian Pingchao, have never seen such a shameless person. ! Want to increase the reward? Okay, as long as you agree to increase the punishment, I will allow you to increase the reward!”

Fang Yun smiled and said: "Then it's settled! If I find the Five Dragons Hall in advance, in addition to me picking an extra treasure, Lian Pingchao Grand Master will also give me a thousand catties of dragon grain rice. If I fail, I will get the treasure from Dragon City." I won’t take any of the treasures I got from the ruins! If I want a reward in the future, I’ll have to give you a higher-five, okay?”

"Huangkou kid, when we get out of the ruins of Dragon City, I want to see how you can face me!"

Lian Pingchao walked quickly towards Fang Yun, then the two of them stretched out their right hands and high-fived each other.

Fang Yun said: "Five bachelors will serve as witnesses and swear to succeed. Let's set off now!"

"Which direction should we go first?" Liu Shan'a asked.

Fang Yun said: "Based on the layout of the buildings along the way, I can basically tell that the entrance was to the south of the Dragon City ruins, but I don't know whether it is southeast, due south or southwest. In terms of possibility, we Now we have the best chance of going north. As long as we find landmark buildings on the road, we can determine the approximate direction, gradually change the direction, and finally find the Five Dragons Hall!"

"That's right. Yun Fang, you lead the way. We all trust you! I'll take care of your galloping poems." Yun Zhaochen smiled.

"Thank you, Uncle Yun. Let's go."

Then, the six university scholars wrote galloping war poems one after another. Because they couldn't fly, they could only write the university scholar's war poem "Ode to the Heavenly Horse" for riding horses. Each of them had an extra snow-white war poem dragon horse.

The seven people rode the war poem dragon horses and moved forward in the ruins.

The ruins of Longcheng had experienced a war. There were broken walls everywhere, collapsed walls, stone pillars blocking the road, and there was no complete road at all. The seven people could only move forward on the ups and downs of the ruins of the buildings.

This place was very dangerous, and the speed of the dragon horse could not be raised.

Soon, a quarter of an hour passed, and Fang Yun did not find any landmark buildings. There were only ruins of buildings under his feet.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and Fang Yun still did not find anything.

An hour later, Lian Pingchao finally couldn't help asking: "Yun Fang, can you find the direction?"

"Please be patient, University Scholar Lian, don't be impatient." Fang Yun said.

"Hmph!" Lian Pingchao's eyes flashed, and he said nothing more.

The seven people continued to move forward. Within a hundred breaths, a demon king team broke through the fog in front of the left.

"Be careful!"

"Prepare for battle!"

The six university scholars immediately wrote protective war poems or summoned war poem soldiers.

Tan Hemu took the first step and wrote the university scholar's protective war poem "Ode to Kunlun", which was a handed-down protective war poem written by the semi-saint Xie An when he was a university scholar. After the poem was completed, a phantom of the Kunlun Mountains surrounded the seven people, towering and full of power.

Moreover, this is a second-level war poem, with a poetic soul, and its power is equivalent to that of an ordinary great scholar's protective war poem.
