The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, two people came over, each holding a rosewood box and handed it to Fang Yun respectfully.

"Thank you all!" Fang Yun said politely, took the two wooden boxes, and put them into the lake shells.

Many people were extremely envious when they saw that he actually had Hanhu shells. It was almost impossible for even those from wealthy families to get Hanhu shells.

Many servants began to serve wine and food, and since there was no longer a need to compete for the leader to write poems, everyone began to drink and drink, and it was very lively.

Fang Yun and everyone drank a few drinks. Qiu Chi, a member of the Qi State, said: "Fang Yun, you are indeed a genius from the Ten Kingdoms! For you, Ci Jun invited three other talents. This matter will definitely spread throughout the city, and tomorrow's Saint The Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Festival will be many times more lively than in previous years.”

"The four great talents are gathered together. Those great scholars who don't want to come will probably come, and those in the Holy Courtyard will probably go down the mountain together." Zuyuan He said.

"The Ten Kingdoms haven't had such a grand cultural gathering for a long time. I never thought that the Fang movement would stir up the situation. Just a scholar is so powerful. You are the only one in the history." Qiu Chi praised with a smile.

"Brother Qiu, I'm sorry. The gathering of the four great talents has nothing to do with me. It should be Jun Ci's impromptu decision." Fang Yun said.

"Without you, Mr. Ci wouldn't even want to go to the Holy Ruins Literary Society, so don't be humble. Come on, let me toast you!" Qiu Chi raised his glass.

"Okay." Fang Yun raised his glass.

After drinking it all, Qiu Chi asked: "Are you drinking Jiangbei or Lake clams in your hand?"

"Yin Jiangbei is so valuable, how could I have it? It's Hanhu shellfish, and it belongs to Jiangzhou Literary Academy. I have to return it after using it."

"It seems that Jingguo has bet the treasure of this trip to the Holy Ruins on you. We are among the best in the country. We are either wealthy or aristocratic, but except for Fan Ming, no one has Han Hubei."

Zu Yuanhe said with a smile: "Fan Ming is the hope of the Ji family, and he will probably get closer to his cousin in the future. Our ancestral family is a semi-sage family, and I major in "Mozi" and specialize in mechanism skills. Even Han Hubei No, I can’t take my machine tiger with me when I go out.”

Fang Yun asked: "Brother Zu, what mechanisms do you have? I have never been exposed to mechanism techniques before. I have only seen them occasionally in Yuhai City and Kongcheng."

Zuyuan Hedao: "I have a tiger, a rat and two mechanism beasts. In fact, the really powerful ones are the demon and barbarian mechanisms. Unfortunately, those kind of mechanisms are too difficult to make and require great talent. I can't make them yet."

Fang Yun nodded to express his understanding. The mechanism technique of Shengyuan Continent appeared because of talent. Many parts of the mechanism beast need to be modified by talent, and when controlling, talent also needs to be sent in advance, but ordinary talent cannot turn the mechanism into a Cultural treasures, only semi-saints can turn mechanisms into cultural treasures.

There are very few cultural treasure mechanisms, and each one is extremely powerful.

Zu Yuanhe said with envy: "Our ancestral family is much worse than the Mozi family and the Zhang Heng family. These two families have accumulated many years of experience and various powerful institutions have emerged one after another. However, the ancestors of our family can only be regarded as half of the organ masters. Give us There are too few institutions left, even Not even as good as the Lu Ban family. Although Lu Ban was only a virtual sage, he and Mozi were enemies and then friends, and they have been working together with the Mohists to grow stronger. Their strength far exceeds that of many aristocratic families, and only Lu Ban can be called a family without a semi-sage. Descendants."

"Indeed." Everyone nodded.

Since hundreds of schools of thought were not deposed, and Confucianism was the dominant one, Mohism's philosophy also gradually changed. In the end, it focused on industry and neglected other things. Together with the Luban family, it made great contributions to the ten countries. Its status was second only to the Yasheng family, with disciples all over the world, and even No living semi-saint would offend them.

Fang Yun suddenly remembered Zu Yuanhe's words and said, "You just said you couldn't bring a machine tiger with you. Could it be that the machine rat is always on you? Why didn't I see it?"

Zu Yuanhe raised his hand and saw a black shadow emerging from his sleeves and crawling to the Fang Yun table at an extremely fast speed.

Fang Yun took a closer look and saw that it was clearly a mouse, with gray fur, a pointed mouth, and a pair of black eyes staring at Fang Yun.

"This...isn't a spiritual beast? It doesn't look like a mechanism at all." Fang Yun said.

Everyone laughed, and Zuyuan He said: "You are still young, so I'm afraid the ones you have seen are very common mechanisms, such as those made of strong wood or metal. The mechanisms of our Half-Saint Family are different, and we are better at using them." The beast's skeletal fur is protected by special metal."

"I know this too, but I didn't expect it to be so realistic." Fang Yun said.

"This mouse is used for detection or doing dexterous things. In order to prevent being seen through, it is very realistic. If you have seen the machine tiger in my house, you will know that there is still a huge difference between the machine beast and the real beast monster. Not as flexible, but more powerful. Like this machine rat, even if it deliberately gives up its strength for flexibility, it is far inferior to the spirit beast. Unfortunately, good spirit beasts are too expensive, otherwise I would not make my own machine rat to replace the spirit beast. By the way, where is your spirit fox? If you bring a spiritual beast, you will be much safer in the Holy Ruins."

Fang Yun could only make up nonsense: "My spiritual beast suddenly became ill, otherwise I would have brought it here. You don't have a spiritual beast?"

Zuyuan Hedao: "We are not as lucky as you to meet a good spiritual beast. There are many spiritual beasts in Shengyuan Continent, but there are too few qualified spiritual beasts. Except for Fan Ming, we don't have any."

Fang Yun smiled and felt lucky.

Spirit beasts are different from demon beasts. Demon beasts control the power of Qi and blood. Although the intelligence of demon people and demon soldiers is low, it is better than that of beasts. However, the problem is that once they use the power of Qi and blood, they may lose their minds and ignore everything. Often causes trouble.

Demon generals are more sensible, so there are many demon generals in the streets and alleys of Kong Sheng. No one is afraid of them, but at least you have to be a Jinshi to be qualified to raise demon generals. Those who are promoted or below can only find spiritual beasts.

The so-called spirit beasts are special beasts with certain intelligence. After training, they can fully understand human speech. Because they are not demons and have no power of blood, they will not suddenly lose their minds.

Many Jinshi and even Hanlin will not give up the spirit beasts they raised before, because the monster generals are very large in size, and sometimes they are not as useful as the spirit beasts. Those small monsters are more special, like the singing birds and the like. It is difficult to domesticate successfully.

Fang Yun asked Li Fanming: "Where is your spirit beast?"

"There is a silly rabbit at home. It has been getting fatter and fatter recently. I have lost confidence in it and don't want to take it with me when I go out." Li Fanming said helplessly.

Everyone else had seen the rabbit and was snickering.

Everyone's chat was quickly interrupted, because people kept coming here to congratulate Fang Yun, or toast, or leave famous thorns. Fang Yun's Hanhu Beili quickly accumulated hundreds of famous thorns. These famous thorns, which are equivalent to business cards, are of various kinds. Some people actually use pure gold, which shows how wealthy the family is.

After a long time, almost all the people who were supposed to come, and some people even started to leave Surabaya Hospital one after another, finally calmed down.

Because tomorrow is the Holy Market, everyone started talking about the Holy Market Cultural Association and the "Holy Market Road". Only one hundred people who passed through the Holy Market Road were eligible to officially enter the Holy Market.

It wasn't until late at night that everyone left one after another.

Before leaving, Fang Yun looked at the tree gentlemen in Sishui Courtyard and saw that almost one-tenth of the leaves had fallen. He did not forget to pick up a handful of leaves from the ancient tree so that he could give them as gifts after returning to Jingguo.

Early the next morning, Fang Yun ate, read, practiced the piano, and perfected the "General's Order" as usual.

The only problem is that his county official keeps receiving letters from Hongyan, some wishing him good luck in the holy market, and others talking about yesterday's three poems. The head of the Gongyang family also personally sent a letter from Hongyan to apologize, saying He deposed Gong Yangxun to inherit the power of the family and sent him to the border to fight against the demons and barbarians, hoping that Fang Yun would forgive him. Finally, he kindly reminded Fang Yun not to be soft-hearted when meeting Liu Zizhi at the Holy Market.

Fang Yun pretended not to know the Gongyang family's intentions and politely thanked the head of the Gongyang family. In fact, Fang Yun had already been wary of Liu Zizhi without his reminding him.

In the morning, Li Wenying came back from the Holy Court. He was a little strange. He was obviously very tired, but he was also very energetic. Especially his pair of black and thick sword eyebrows seemed to be sharper than usual. The two of them had only spoken a few words before Fang Yun felt a rich and vast breath suddenly escape from his body and then quickly withdraw.

Fang Yun looked at Li Wenying carefully with his eyes wide open. He was extremely surprised and said, "Congratulations to Master Li on becoming a great scholar."

Li Wenying nodded, trying hard to remain serious, but the joy on his face could not be concealed, and said: "I am just overflowing with talent, causing Haoran's righteousness to leak out. There is still a certain amount of time before I can officially become a great Confucian. It can be at least three months, or at most. One year.”

"You are just a great scholar and have great righteousness. If you become a great Confucian, you must be extraordinary. It's ridiculous that Feng Chengjue, an unkind scholar, is the last of the four great talents of the previous generation. His talent far exceeds yours, but in the end you were defeated by your hard work. You are truly one of the four great talents of the past generation." Fang Yun praised Li Wenying without hesitation.

The joy on Li Wenying's face gradually faded, and he said seriously: "You must not underestimate the scholars in the world. Although Shijun and Cijun are both among the four great talents, they are far from being comparable to Shi Jun. The four great talents of this generation are of the same age. Among the people, only three people from the Kongsheng family are worse than Shijun, but not as good as Shijun. Needless to say, the talent of the fierce monarch is just as good as that of Shijun!"

Speaking of Fierce Lord, Li Wenying's expression changed obviously.

"Do you know what happened between me and Mr. Fierce?" Fang Yun asked.

"When I came down from the mountain, I received a letter from a friend and learned about what happened in the past few days. I may not care about the things in the Holy Ruins, but if he makes trouble for you in Shengyuan Continent, I will make sure that his Meng family will not have peace! What a pity. He has too many cultural treasures and the Holy Page is there, so I can’t do anything to him.”

Fang Yun discovered that Li Wenying was obviously famous for his strong will and literary courage, but when he talked about the fierce king, there was still a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"Thank you, Mr. Li."

Li Wenying added: "I have something important to tell you. I just learned today that the evil king took "Han Xin Three Chapters" in order to enter the Holy Ruins. Although I don't know the specific means he used, you must do it after entering the Holy Ruins. Be extra careful and don't meet him. This person said last night that he would definitely get the blood-dropped animal skin, and he must have some unknown means."

"Fan Ming has told me about this. I must be careful after entering the Holy Ruins. Even if he has all kinds of means, he cannot be sure that victory belongs to him until the end. The one who laughs best is the one who laughs in the end! I believe that I You can become the biggest winner of the Holy Market!”

"Children can be taught. Let's go to Confucius Academy and take the Holy Ruins Road." Li Wenying nodded.
