The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Mi Fengdian looked at Wang Jinglong who was slowly approaching, and said: "Since Lord Dongsheng is here, he should snap his fingers and send a message."

"No need. Those who need to know will know naturally. If you don't know, just don't know."

A strange look flashed in the eyes of the three semi-saint examiners, and they were slightly shocked, but they did not say anything and continued to look at the phantoms of the nine book mountains.

Under the attention of everyone, Fang Yun slowly stepped onto the third pavilion.

dictation.

Fang Yun looked at the two simple words on the plaque and was just guessing what the test would be when the chirping of insects and birds suddenly sounded in his ears, rising and falling, which was quite pleasant.

An old man with white beard and hair appeared in front of Fang Yunzhang. The old man was tall and thin, with sharp eyes.

"I said, you write. It will end in two-quarters of an hour. No more than five typos. There are three chances."

"Yes, elder." Fang Yun said politely.

The sound of insects and birds still didn't end.

Fang Yun immediately understood that this was a test of a person's attention, memory, determination, discernment, etc. It was most likely to be disturbed by the outside world when talking on paper or speaking in detail. Any accident could lead to failure and thus death.

A pen filled with thick ink appeared out of thin air in Fang Yun's hand. He quickly dropped the pen on the page, took a deep breath, and was ready to write at any time.

"boom……"

Suddenly a bolt of lightning appeared in the sky, falling right between Fang Yun and the old man. Fang Yun subconsciously stepped back to avoid it. The dazzling light made Fang Yun's eyes hurt slightly, and he had to squint. Thunder exploded at the same time, making Fang Yun's ears buzz. Straight ring.

This lightning and thunder was so sudden that no one could have imagined that a thunder and lightning would appear out of thin air at this time, but the thunder and lightning itself could not shock Fang Yun.

What shocked Fang Yun was that at the same time as the thunder and lightning appeared, the old man opened his mouth. When the thunder ended, Fang Yun only heard one word.

"...Germany."

Fang Yun was so angry that he almost spit out blood. The person who asked this question was so shameless. He didn't have the slightest clue. This was not a dictation, it was just playing tricks! There are so many sentences ending with virtue in the scriptures of all saints, how can you possibly guess them!

However, the old man ignored Fang Yun at all, looked at the sky, and said the second sentence: "Is the villain's words similar? A gentleman must pay attention to it."

Fang Yun didn't dare to think too much, so he hurriedly left a blank line and wrote the second sentence first. This was Yan Zi's words in "Confucius' Family Sayings". Fang Yun remembered it clearly and wrote it immediately. At the same time, I felt unwilling to do so and wondered what that sentence meant.

The old man barely paused and continued to say the third sentence: "When a bird is about to die, its song is sad; when a man is about to die, its words are also kind." During this process, there was suddenly the sound of strong wind whistling and wind. The sound of blowing leaves, together with the chirping of insects and birds, makes people feel irritable.

Fang Yun eliminated distracting thoughts and picked up the pen to write. This third sentence is Zengzi's words and has been widely circulated.

Then, the old man spoke sentence by sentence, and the speaking speed remained constant. The getting louder and more voices around him did not affect the old man at all.

In addition to the chirping of insects and birds at the beginning, wind and rain soon followed, followed by the crowing of chickens and dogs, and the sounds became louder and more complicated.

Fang Yun once only slept two hours a day to study, and with his literary courage and self-control, he was basically unaffected. Not only could he continue writing, but he also thought about the first sentence unwillingly.

"What on earth is that sentence? There are so many holy scriptures that end with virtue that I can't figure it out!"

"Even in Shushan, it is impossible to give a question that is easy to guess. There must be some skills that I don't know."

Qishu Heaven and Earth remained motionless and did not help the opponent's luck at all.

"Recall, by the way! I couldn't hear the first sentence, but I heard the next five sentences. They were the words of Yanzi, Zengzi, Xunzi, Zisizi and King Wen of Zhou. There were five sub-sages in total, and the seventh sentence It is the words of the semi-sage Han Feizi, and the following are the words of the semi-sage. The first sentence is most likely the words of the sub-sage Mencius."

"Mencius said that there are too many words with the word "virtue" at the end of a sentence. For example, "Aspire to the Tao and base on virtue" and use the virtue of King Wen, "respect the virtuous and educate the talented, to show the virtues" and so on, etc., we still need to go on. Second screening! What kind of judgment is needed?”

Fang Yun continued to take dictation while thinking. Although there were more and more noises, he could write every word without missing a word.

Not long after, Fang Yun finally got an idea.

"Speech speed! Pause! Got it! His speaking speed has not changed from beginning to end, and even the pauses in each sentence are the same! Although I didn't hear his words clearly, I saw the time when he opened his mouth, and I still remember the time when he closed his mouth. , I know how many words there are in that sentence, there is definitely a chance to guess it!" Fang Yun was overjoyed.

Therefore, Fang Yun first recalled all the words that Mencius said that had the word "virtue" at the end, and then judged based on the old man's speaking speed that the sentence should be between twelve and fourteen words, and finally removed all the sentences that did not have enough words.

Then, Fang Yun tried them one by one, and finally found that the sentence "Qiuye is the emperor of the Ji family, and he can't change his virtue" is the most appropriate to the old man's speaking speed, and these are the first two sentences of a whole sentence. If the sentence is not broken properly, If you don't pay attention, you will miss this sentence.

Fang Yun immediately wrote this sentence as fast as possible, remembering the old man's words at the same time, and then accelerated to finish writing.

Just a dozen breaths later, the old man's speaking speed suddenly accelerated, much twice as fast as before.

The surrounding sounds have been superimposing, and in addition to natural sounds, human voices have begun to increase.

"We sell steamed buns! Big steamed buns with big fillings and thin skin!"

"Tofu pudding! Tofu pudding! Do you want sweet, salty or spicy? You can find it all!"

"Sir, please come upstairs and have a seat. Our oiran from Hong Xiu is free today."

"Selling Zongzi..."

Fang Yun immediately felt the pressure doubled. Those natural sounds were meaningless to him, but those human sounds were different, and they were very relevant to people's lives. They would inevitably make people understand the meaning of those words involuntarily, and even various foods would appear in front of their eyes, which would inevitably occupy more of their minds.

But now the old man's speech speed has increased, and the difficulty has increased dozens of times compared to the beginning.

Fang Yun found that the old man started to speed up after just a quarter of an hour, and fine illusory sweat appeared on his forehead. He secretly rejoiced in his heart that fortunately he thought of a way to crack it a quarter of an hour ago. If he thought of a way to crack it a quarter of an hour later, it would be useless, because once he was distracted to think about it, he would definitely make mistakes.

"The thunder at the beginning is not only a test, but also a trap! If you don't think about it and insist on writing only the latter part, as long as one is good, you can still pass the third pavilion. But if you can't bear to give up the first sentence, it is very likely to be distracted and lead to a complete loss."

"This is not only a test of our ability, but also a test of our choices! If you really encounter a powerful enemy, don't think about killing the enemy, but should run away, wait until you survive, and then think about revenge!"

Fang Yun finished the first sentence, and his heart was free of worries, and he focused on dealing with the next dictation.

When there were only a hundred breaths left, the old man's speech speed increased again, and there were more sounds of the battlefield in his voice.

The sound of drums, shouts of killing, the sound of weapons chopping on the bodies of the monsters, a large number of candidates speaking fluently, many monsters using magic, the wailing of soldiers, and the shouts of monster soldiers, constantly echoed in Fang Yun's ears.

"Kill the monster! Kill the monster and avenge me!"

"I don't want to die, I have parents at home..."

"Help, I'm scared, don't kill me, don't kill me, ah..."

"Hahaha, human hearts are really delicious, but I still like to eat human brains..."

At this moment, Fang Yun was suddenly very glad that he had gone to kill monsters when he was a boy. If he hadn't experienced the scene of hundreds of soldiers dying and hadn't seen the scene of monsters eating people with his own eyes, his mind would definitely be shaken by these voices.

"The longer I persist, the higher I climb, the more monsters I will kill in the future! It's not that I'm cold-blooded, but I'm accumulating strength to kill monsters and destroy barbarians! No one can stop my holy way!"

Fang Yun's mind was highly concentrated, and Wendan was driven by his spirit, forming an invisible force that enveloped the surroundings, trying his best to weaken those sounds.

After half an hour, the old man stopped, and after a few breaths, Fang Yun finished the last stroke.

"Passed." After the old man said, his figure dissipated.

Fang Yun felt extremely tired and immediately sat on the ground to rest. Then the third pavilion emitted white light and fell on him, allowing him to enjoy the baptism of strange power again.

"The white light of this Book Mountain is beneficial to everyone and has no side effects. It is very likely related to the talent of Wenquxing or Confucius. Although there are nine mountains in the Book Mountain, only the first three mountains have three pavilions each. Starting from the fourth mountain, there is only one test per mountain. Starting from the fourth mountain, there may be more baptisms. If I get it, my literary courage will probably be infinitely close to Yan Yukong's realm. It's a pity that the Book Mountain is so difficult this time. It's almost impossible for me to reach it. I won't think about it anymore."

With the baptism of the third white light, Fang Yun's literary palace, talent, literary courage and other aspects have been strengthened again, but the mental fatigue cannot disappear immediately, so he did not go up immediately, but sat on the ground and silently read "The Analects of Confucius" to conserve his energy. Prepare for the next second mountain.

Fang Yun had a hint of worry in his heart. The difficulty of this book mountain exceeded his original estimate. He even suspected that if Shi Dehong, the disciple of Shi Jun during the scholar period, appeared here, he would not be able to pass even the first mountain and three pavilions. The dictation test in the third pavilion was too weird. With Shi Dehong's personality, it was impossible for him to let go of the first sentence without answering.

Fang Yun rested for a full hour before he felt refreshed. When he opened his eyes, he saw that there were already three disciples of the Saints Family in the third pavilion.

"As expected of disciples of the Saints Family, but looking at them like this, it seems not good." Fang Yun looked at the three people.

None of the three people were writing, but sitting on the ground with a sad face. Fang Yun guessed that they had taken the test once and failed, and were stalling for time to think about countermeasures.

Fang Yun sighed in his heart. This kind of test would not let anyone take shortcuts. The longer these people dragged on, the more difficult the questions behind should be.

At this time, a scholar from a semi-saint family raised his head and saw Fang Yun sitting on the ground. He sighed and felt a sense of sympathy.

Another scholar also looked over and gave Fang Yun an encouraging look. Fang Yun thought that this man was a true gentleman, nodded and gave him an encouraging look, then walked through the third pavilion and headed for the second mountain.

The three scholars who stayed in the third pavilion were suddenly petrified by magic and stood there motionless.

One scholar said something and then made a gesture of wiping tears. The other two scholars saw it and really wanted to cry.

A poor boy actually left all the elites of the semi-saint family behind. The reality is too cruel. The elders and books in the family don’t say so!
