The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 149: Rain Does Not Get Wet

Talented martial arts performance can only be said to be rare for great Confucian scholars, but it is not rare. Successful completion of talent martial arts performance is considered rare. However, talented martial arts performance has never appeared in scholars.

"Can I not say it?" Fang Yun asked.

Feng Yuanjun smiled and said: "If you don't tell us, we can guess. Seeing that your body is unharmed, and you even have a faint sense of fierceness, you must have benefited from it. And based on the performance of your family, there are only a few possibilities. We are very The rest of the people can guess it slowly and it won’t take a moment.”

Everyone smiled together, looking like they might guess at any time.

Fang Yun looked around at everyone and said: "Actually, it's nothing. After the experience in Shushan, I found that I have grown, so I decided to choose a minor in the Holy Way. Later, I thought about the current conquest of the three clans, and the role of military strategists is second only to Confucianism. Daodao, so I prepared to train as an auxiliary soldier. Home. I have been studying the art of war these days, and I don’t know what happened last night. Recalling my days in Wudaohe, an idea flashed in my mind, and I wanted to summarize the art of war of the predecessors and make it more popular and easy to use. As a result, I accidentally entered Cai Qi Yanwu."

"Hiss..." Everyone took a breath of cold air.

Zhang Poyue is a general, and most of the people who came to see him off are soldiers. They know the importance of talent and martial arts best. Once someone can do talent and martial arts, they must have amazing talents in the art of war, and they will be of great use to the human race.

"We only thought that you had achievements in poetry, calligraphy, painting and classics. We didn't expect that your military skills were so profound! You want to be an all-rounder! Even Confucius is not an all-rounder. "

Zhang Poyue couldn't help but ask: "Brother Wenying, the first time you got the talent to perform martial arts was when you were in Hanlin, right?"

"Yeah." Li Wenying nodded.

"Even if there are several military strategists and semi-saints, there are only two or three who have performed martial arts when they were promoted, but they all failed. Fang Yun, don't tell us that you succeeded in martial arts." Magistrate Dong said.

Fang Yun said: "Of course it failed. How could I, a mere scholar, pass the show of talent and martial arts?"

"That's more or less the same. If you can complete the talent show and martial arts, the military strategists will probably come to snatch you away. They will imprison you for a few years to wear off all your edges, and then send you to various dangerous situations and torture you in every possible way... …No, it’s about tempering, and then throwing you to the Two Realms Mountains to temper you for more than ten years, and then finally giving you freedom.”

Fang Yun almost broke out in a cold sweat and said, "People from military strategists wouldn't be so cruel, right?"

"Yes. The geniuses of the military family began to be tempered at the age of seven or eight. Apart from participating in the imperial examinations and scholarships, they had almost no contact with outsiders. They could not officially control their own destiny until they were over thirty. Therefore, for hundreds of years, the military strategists have been incomparable semi-sages. Being so forbearing will cause great losses to the demon world. If the demon saints really want to invade in a large scale, the first person they want to kill must be the military master half-saint."

"I must take the Confucian road! My talent in martial arts will definitely fail!" Fang Yun said.

Li Wenying smiled and said: "It doesn't matter even if you succeed, we expect more from you than just being a military strategist. It would be a waste if you majored in military strategist."

"That's right. Alas, I really can't imagine it. I haven't even passed the talent show yet." Zhang Poyue seemed very unhappy.

Feng Yuanjun said: "If you have time, you should go and sit at Wudao River. Maybe you will also have the opportunity to enter Caiqi Yanwu."

"That's good! After the banquet, I will change the route to Wudao River in Ji County, and then go to the capital two days later to receive the canonization." Zhang Poyue said.

Feng Yuanjun looked at Li Wenying pitifully and said, "Master Yuanjun, do you agree to my vacation?"

Li Wenying looked at Feng Yuanjun with an expressionless face. Feng Yuanjun's eyes were firm, as if he was not afraid at all of this famous bachelor.

"That's all, I'll grant you five days." Li Wenying said helplessly.

"Thank you, sir. I'd like to toast you." Feng Yuanjun laughed happily and raised his glass to drink.

Li Wenying ignored Feng Yuanjun and asked Fang Yun: "Is this your first time doing martial arts today?"

"It's the first time."

"Outsiders are not allowed to interfere with Cai Qi Yan Wu, and you must not ask others for advice, otherwise there will be huge changes and even failure." Li Wenying said.

"Students know." Fang Yun said.

Li Wenying glanced at Zhao Hongzhuang, then looked at Fang Yun, and asked: "I heard that you are going to take the imperial examination as soon as possible. You may even prepare to take the Jinshi examination this year and become the first Jinshi in the world in the same year?"

Before experiencing the illusion of Shushan, Fang Yun would never have wanted to be the first person in history to pass the exams of Tongsheng, Xiucai, Ju, and Jinshi within one year, but the experience of Shushan made up for his shortcomings.

"I want to give it a try." Fang Yun said.

"Of course you don't need to worry too much about your poems and scripture meanings, but policy theory will be tested in the state exam in September. Are you confident?"

"Students believe that policy theory is nothing more than the way to govern the country, and students have read all the scriptures of saints and history books. Although they cannot be said to have the talent to stabilize the country, they have gained a little in policy theory."

If other parties dare not say it, they are not afraid in terms of policy. After all, there was too much relevant information in that era. Unlike the Holy Yuan Continent, where you can only read newspapers once every ten days, less than one-fifth of the news about current affairs layout.

"Since you are confident, then give it a try. Although you are famous now and may even be mentioned in the history books, you may not be able to be included in the biography. If you can become the first Jinshi in the same year, you will most likely have the opportunity to be included in the biography and truly make history. Leave your name." Li Wenying said.

Scholars attach great importance to leaving a name in history. A general next to him said enviously: "Master Li will definitely leave a name in history. If General Zhang can take another step forward, he will also have a biography. As for us, we can leave a name in the history books. It’s Guangzong Yaozu.”

Everyone nodded, envious of Fang Yun, Li Wenying and Zhang Poyue.

Zhang Poyue said: "Jianmei Gong and I are at most biographies. Fang Yun, you can have a chance to go one step further and enter the ranks of the 'aristocratic family'. Don't abandon yourself."

"Student will definitely work hard." Fang Yun said modestly.

Zhao Hongzhuang, who was standing aside, looked lonely. Although she was a princess, she would probably only have a name in the history books. She would never be included in the annals of the Han Dynasty for the reason of "being in power but not in the position", and be listed with the emperor.

Under the table where no one could see, Zhao Hongzhuang clenched her fists tightly.

She was called Hongzhuang, but as a princess, she was like a green leaf here.

Zhao Hongzhuang lowered her head, and only she knew the unwillingness in her eyes.

A general asked in surprise: "Fang Yun, what happened to the sutra you took in the prefectural examination? According to convention, the first-class sutras of a prefecture should be exhibited in the Academy of Literature for students to learn. But why is there only a second-class one this year?"

Feng Yuanjun and Dong Zhifu looked at each other. The two of them personally experienced the earth-shaking process of marking the papers, and saw the papers that were spread all over the world. The power of the semi-saints appeared one after another, killing a Hanlin on the spot, which was rarely seen in the imperial examination for a hundred years.

"This... I can't say more." Fang Yun said.

"That's strange, Dong Zhifu, Feng Yuanjun, you two are examiners, and you can't say it?"

The two lowered their heads and said nothing.

Even Li Wenying and Zhang Poyue didn't know about this matter. Now seeing the attitude of the two examiners, they realized that it was very likely that the Criminal Hall or the semi-saints had issued a gag order.

Including Zhao Hongzhuang, everyone stared at each other, but no one dared to say a word. After a while, everyone vaguely guessed that since Fang Yun got the first place, it must be an excellent scripture. If the scripture is very good but cannot be spread, it must be too good, at least it can protect the country, or even spread to the world, because the Holy Academy would never make such a big fuss for the scripture of Mingzhou.

Everyone immediately thought of the scene of the constant alternation of day and night over Yuhai Mansion that night, and realized that it might be the saint who took action for Fang Yun.

Poetry is a minor path, even policy essays are also minor paths, but the scripture is different. It is the interpretation of the classics of all saints and the real Confucian path. A talent can write a scripture that can protect the country, which is more terrible than writing ten poems that can protect the country.

"There is hope." A general whispered three words.

Although he didn't say it in full, everyone knew that he wanted to say "Fang Yun's foundation of the holy way is promising" and the chance of becoming a saint is great.

The room was quiet for a moment, and everyone continued to talk.

Because Zhang Poyue was going to the north to deal with the wolf barbarians, the following topics were almost all about the war in the north.

War and diplomacy are inseparable. Everyone quickly talked about the attitude of the strategists, but no one agreed that the Gu Kingdom should pay a large amount of gold, silver, treasures and grain as tribute every year in exchange for peace. These generals almost all believed that only by defeating the barbarians and making them realize that the human race is not weaker than the monster race can they be won over and then fight against the monster race together.

These generals were not opposed to uniting the barbarians to attack the monster race, but they believed that the military strategists should be in the front and the strategists should be in the back. The strategists and miscellaneous families must not be allowed to dominate the situation between the two races, and they must not learn from the Gu Kingdom to be servile, otherwise the human race will die.

The banquet did not end until the evening. Everyone left drunkenly. Zhang Poyue took a long-distance armored ox cart and headed straight to the Wudao River in Ji County. Feng Yuanjun was ready to go tomorrow.

Fang Yun was not good at persuading them, so he left silently.

"Don't let anyone get enlightenment by the Wudao River." Fang Yun kept muttering to himself on the way home.

The weather in June is changeable. Before Fang Yun got home, it started to drizzle.

When he arrived at the door of his house, Fang Yun got off the carriage. Fang Daniu had an umbrella, but he didn't give it to Fang Yun. Instead, he held the umbrella himself and looked at Fang Yun with envy.

The rain fell on Fang Yun's body and clothes, but it didn't get wet at all. Instead, it flowed away silently. Fang Yun's whole body was like a big umbrella, and all the rain couldn't touch him.

Since Fang Yun ate the fake dragon ball, he was no longer afraid of rain, and even took fewer baths, because the fake dragon ball gave his body the ability to clean itself. Although it was not like Nunu's feet that didn't get dirty, as long as there was dust on his body, it would be quickly pushed away by invisible forces.

Fang Yun's place was cleaner, and those mosquitoes didn't dare to get close to people with fake dragon balls, and even the people around him enjoyed a comfortable summer without mosquitoes.

The rain flowed over Fang Yun, who walked into the gate without any discomfort.

In the courtyard, Nunu jumped around in the rain like a happy puppy, and shook her body from time to time, splashing the rain on her body.

Seeing Fang Yun coming, Nunu immediately waved her little paws to Fang Yun with a smile, asking Fang Yun to play with her. Fang Yun shook his head and smiled, "Play by yourself."

Nunu nodded and continued to play by herself.
