The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1753 Mid-Autumn Festival Moon Worship

All large-scale literary gatherings have some fixed procedures. It is impossible for Fang Yun to compete with Zhang Longxiang in writing at the beginning of this Mid-Autumn Festival literary gathering with millions of people gathered here.

There are many customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival, which are gradually integrated into the literary gathering.

The opening of the Yueyang Tower Mid-Autumn Festival Literary Meeting was the "Moon Worship Dance" performed by the dancers of Kongcheng.

The dancers of Kongcheng are selected from hundreds of miles away and are the best in the human race. When the moon worship dance began, everyone was attracted and watched seriously.

Those scholars were okay, because most of them had seen this high-level dance. Few ordinary people in Baling City could see this level of dance and were fascinated by it.

The water monsters in the distance were also moved by it. Some water monsters even forgot themselves and danced gently in the water to respond to the dancers.

Fang Yun returned to his seat, facing the high platform, listening to music and watching dance.

After watching for a while, Fang Yun felt something approaching. He turned his head and saw a half-human-tall rabbit coming over with a smile, and raised its two front paws to bow to Fang Yun.

Fang Yun smiled slightly, glanced at Li Fanming, and then smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for many years. You are fat again."

The big rabbit patted its round belly with its paws, walked to Fang Yun and lay down, then drooled at the fruits and delicacies on the table. The food of the first class was much better than that of the third class.

Fang Yun smiled and took a piece of exquisite mooncake and handed it to the big rabbit.

The big rabbit immediately chirped twice to thank him, then stretched out its two paws to hold the mooncake, and ate it quickly with its three-petal mouth, making a smacking sound.

Looking at the big rabbit, Fang Yun remembered the Kongcheng Mid-Autumn Festival when he entered the Holy Ruins that year, and remembered what happened in the Holy Ruins, so he took out a thumb-sized red fruit from the swallowing seashell. This fruit is called Red Jade Fruit, which is unique to the Blood Mang Realm. It is still a little short of being a divine object, but it contains a lot of heaven and earth vitality. People can absorb it directly by eating it. It is the highest-end fruit below the divine object.

Fang Yun usually uses this fruit to entertain friends at the level of great scholars, and often gives it to Nunu. Now seeing that the big rabbit is so well-behaved, he gave it one.

The big rabbit immediately gave up the mooncake and stared at the red jade fruit with his nose twitching.

After staring for three breaths, the big rabbit took a step back and shook his head seriously at Fang Yun.

"Why, don't want it?" Fang Yun asked.

The big rabbit nodded vigorously, indicating that it was too expensive and he couldn't take it, but the two lines of clear saliva at the corners of its mouth exposed its true thoughts.

The people on the side couldn't help laughing when they saw the big rabbit drooling so much.

Fang Yun smiled and said, "We haven't seen each other for many years. You are also a friend of me and Nunu. I will give you a fruit. Eat it. I have a lot here."

The big rabbit hesitated for a moment and shook his head gently, indicating that he still couldn't take it.

Fang Yun's face darkened, and he said, "If you don't want it, I'll throw it away!" After saying that, he was about to throw the red jade fruit out.

But the big rabbit rushed forward, rolled up the red jade fruit with his tongue, and swallowed it into his stomach.

But then the big rabbit stayed where it was, his eyes were straight, and he smacked his lips hard. Unfortunately, after smacking for a long time, he couldn't taste it. He sighed softly and regretted eating too quickly.

The people around laughed. They didn't expect this rabbit to be so interesting.

Fang Yun knew that the big rabbit would not want it if he gave it again, so he took a fruit plate and put it in front of the big rabbit. The big rabbit immediately forgot what happened just now and ate happily. While eating, he also watched the dancers on the high platform dancing, and when he saw something happy, he even swung his two big ears.

After a while, Fang Yun suddenly said to the big rabbit: "There is a part in this moon worship dance where you can see the jade rabbit. You can go up and circle around them."

The big rabbit was excited when he heard it, nodded vigorously, and suddenly jumped onto the high platform, then ran around the singing girls and jumped according to the rhythm of the music.

People in the distance didn't know that this was a sudden appearance, and thought it was prepared long ago, and it didn't seem abrupt, but made this moon worship dance more lively, so they cheered.

It's just that some people looked funny, this rabbit was like a happy puppy.

Li Fanming in the distance was drinking, and he almost spit out when he saw the big rabbit on the stage. In the end, he guessed that it was related to Fang Yun, so he could only smile and shake his head.

As the music ended, the dance stopped, and the big rabbit returned to Fang Yun and continued to enjoy the food.

The opening moon worship dance was performed by the dancers, and the second dance was the moon chasing dance performed by men.

The first half of the hour was all dancing, and then some famous literati came on stage, either painting with a large brush in public or playing the zither to add to the fun of the literary meeting.

An hour later, Dong Wencong walked to the stage and started the most common part of the literary meeting, writing poems on the spot and competing for the first place in the literary meeting.

Many young scholars were eager to try their best.

Because there were too many people participating in the literary meeting, Dong Wencong decided that each country would send five people, and they must be young people under the age of 20 and below the rank of Jinshi, to go up to the high platform together and decide the type, rhyme or theme to be written by drawing lots.

Some people started to make a fuss and let Fang Yun participate, but Fang Yun smiled and said nothing.

Not long after, each country plus Kongcheng selected five people, and a total of fifty-five young people went up to the high platform.

When Dong Wencong announced the rules, Qing Jun, who was several feet away from Fang Yun, said: "Fang Xusheng, I am very optimistic about our Qing country's young poet Ge Yu. He is very likely to be among the top three in this literary meeting. Why don't you also pick a young man from Jing country to compete with Ge Yu, and you and I will each make a difference, and the winner of the two will win. How about it?"

Fang Yun said with a smile: "I won't be fooled. Although I was not in Shengyuan Continent last year, I also know that this young scholar has become a blockbuster. He reached the second level of calligraphy at a young age and won the calligraphy championship of the young scholar regular script group in one fell swoop. By the way, I still remember that he used Liu Ti."

Qingjun was most proud of what happened at the Four Friends Literary Meeting last year. When Fang Yun mentioned it, he laughed and said, "Yes, it's this little scholar. And the person behind him is your Jingguo boy."

Fang Yun nodded lightly. Since the emergence of Liu style and Yan style, Jingguo scholars have studied these two fonts intensively. As a result, the championship was won by Qingguo people who also wrote Liu style. This caused heated discussions in Jingguo and many people were aggrieved. , vowing that the next Four Friends literary meeting will be better than Qingguo.

Qing Jun smiled and said: "I was also present at that young scholar's regular script competition. It's strange to say that when young people from other countries were writing, we Qing Kingdom audience watched quietly, but when you Jing Kingdom young people were writing, those The people of Qing will boo. Why?"

Although Qing Jun didn't have a tongue-lashing, Chun Lei, but because the two were far apart, Qing Jun's voice was so loud that not only the people in Seat A could hear it, but also the bachelors in Seat B could hear it.

After Qingjun finished speaking, everyone in seats A and B no longer looked at the high platform, but all looked at Fang Yun or Qingjun.

Many people realized that Qingjun finally couldn't bear it anymore and started to get angry.

Now it was a formal Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, not the previous Dongting banquet. Fang Yun did not say "only talk about romance" or set any rules.

What's more, everyone believes that Zhang Longxiang may appear at any time.
