The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Xun Ye shouted loudly: "Observe the law!"

Fang Yun and Jia Jing'an also looked over.

A young man wearing a black uniform for civil servants rushed over quickly. He had a steady figure, slightly dark skin, and a square face with Chinese characters. A very light smile appeared on his face. Then he held his hands to the three of them and said in a slightly respectful tone: "Xun Brother Ye, Brother Jing’an, Brother Fang.”

Fang Yun also returned the gift with his hand, feeling interesting in his heart, because this man was Han Shoulu, a descendant of Han Feizi, a semi-sage of Legalism, and Han Feizi's teacher happened to be Xun Ye's ancestor, Xunzi, one of the six sub-sages.

As for Jia Yi, the ancestor of Jia Jing'an, he was a disciple of Xunzi. Three of the four people were from Xunzi's lineage.

However, Fang Yun is not worried, because Han Shoulu is very famous, studies Legalist classics carefully, and knows etiquette and abides by the law. Even if the holy ruins are disorderly, it is impossible for such a person to act randomly.

On the left side of Han Shoulu followed a big yellow dog with a simple and honest face, sticking out its tongue and panting lightly, wagging its tail and looking at everyone with a silly smile.

To his right was a leopard with multiple wounds on its body, especially its neck, which was bloody.

Jia Jing'an asked doubtfully: "I've seen this leopard before. Isn't it the one who promoted people from the wealthy Jiang family? Why..."

Han Shoulu's expression darkened and he said, "When I saw the leopard, I didn't see Brother Jiang. I asked the leopard and found out that Brother Jiang has passed away."

"What a pity." Xun Ye sighed.

Fang Yun looked at the spotted leopard and realized that the Holy Ruins was really dangerous. In less than three hours after entering the Holy Ruins, two people had died, and they were both geniuses among the human race. It was really too dangerous.

The leopard came over, glanced at everyone, then lay down on the ground to rest, occasionally moaning softly.

Jia Jing'an said: "This is the Holy Ruins. Once we come in, we must be prepared to die. How about we chat together and share the surrounding situation? I'll talk first."

So the four people explained the situation along the way, and based on the description of the bull barbarian, everyone quickly understood the location here.

It turns out that this place was a small forest eight years ago, but now there is a thousand-foot-high mountain. In the parlance of a hundred years ago, this place should be called the "North Shore of Dead Lake". In just a few hundred years, it has become flat land, swamp, forest and now the mountain. .

All four of them had maps and relaxed a little after confirming their location.

Han Shoulu said: "Brother Fang, you have the most moonlight, what are your plans?"

Fang Yun said humbly: "I am not a member of the Holy Family, and I don't know much about the Holy Ruins. I am considering it."

"Oh?" Han Shoulu took out a shell from his sleeve pocket. Different from Fang Yun's white Hanhu shell, this shell had a layer of lavender lace on the edge.

Fang Yun had to secretly sigh that Han Fei's family was so wealthy that they were willing to let a scholar come in with Yin Jiangbei. There is a space of ten feet square in the Hanhu shell, while there is ten feet square space in the Yinjiang shell. The total volume is a thousand times that of the Hanhu shell. It is so big that it can fit a large house.

Han Shoulu stretched out his hand, took out a thick book, handed it to Fang Yun, and said, "This is the record of my family's history about the Holy Ruins..."

Xun Ye suddenly snatched the book away, and then said seriously: "Shou Lu, this book is not yours alone, but something that the ancestors of your Han Fei family have paid for with their blood and sweat. How can you give it to others so easily? Forty-eight years The Han Jinzhong in front of me had his legs and feet broken, and he narrated everything that happened to the Holy Ruins. His sacrifice was just for you to give it to outsiders to read?" He said and returned the book to Han Shoulu.

Fang Yun's face darkened, his fists clenched, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes.

Jia Jing'an looked at Xun Ye in disbelief. It was too much. He even mentioned the ancestors of the Han family every word, and even mentioned Han Jinzhong, whom everyone admired, so that others could not say anything.

Han Shoulu frowned slightly, as if he had noticed something. A flash of helplessness flashed in his eyes. He took the book, put it in Yinjiang Bei, and said, "Thank you, Brother Xunye, for reminding me. Shoulu didn't think it through well. Brother Fang, I'm sorry for being so rude." ”

Fang Yun had to smile and said: "Since this book is of great importance and I am an outsider, it is really inappropriate to lend it to me like this."

Han Shoulu said, "It's not appropriate to lend it to you directly. If we travel together, I will tell you all the nearby situations and recorded things, which is no different from reading this book."

Xun Ye smiled slightly and said: "Brother Shoulu is indeed a gentleman, and he always listens to advice. Before entering the Holy Ruins, our elders have already communicated. If we meet, we will explore the Holy Ruins together with me as the leader, and we can share it equally afterwards. . You and I are all descendants of aristocratic families. Even if we meet the Holy Blood and Holy Jade, we will not turn against each other. If it were others, we would not disobey the orders of our elders, right?"

Jia Jing'an and Han Shoulu looked at each other and were speechless. The elders of the family had indeed talked about this matter.

After a moment of silence, Jia Jing'an said: "Fang Yun has a well-known literary name and has never done anything bad. He is obviously of mediocre wealth and is not even from a famous family, but he is willing to donate all the silver earned from "The Legend of White Snake" to the town that was harmed by the demon clan for reconstruction. This is righteousness. It is integrity to not bow down in front of the evil king. I, Jia Jing'an, can trust you. I hope Brother Xun Ye will step back and let Fang Yun explore together."

Han Shoulu nodded.

Xun Ye looked at Jia Jing'an and saw his firm attitude. He immediately smiled and said: "Brother Jing'an misunderstood me. Although I don't like Fang Luck, I don't mean to completely exclude him, but he is just a scholar. If he is with us, When you explore the Holy Ruins, you shouldn’t share the things you get with us, right?”

Fang Yun smiled and said: "Thank you Brother Jing'an and Brother Shoulu. Actually, Brother Xunye is worrying too much. Don't worry, I won't join you. I'm just a scholar, so it's better not to hurt you."

Jia Jing'an said: "Your moonlight, if you encounter a star demon or a strange object in the holy ruins, is comparable to a Jinshi! The holy ruins have been around for thousands of years, and no one's moonlight can compare with you! How can it be?" Dragging us down?"

Xun Ye said: "Indeed, no one in Yuehua can compare with him, but there are still many people who came out of the Holy Ruins. One less than him is not a lot, and one more than him is not much. We can't force it."

"What Brother Xun Ye said is that I am insignificant. I can't help you. I will only drag you down, so I won't go with you." Fang Yun made a decision in his heart. Since Xun Ye's attitude, walking with such a person is a big deal. If it's too big, you might be killed at some point.

"Alas..." Jia Jing'an sighed and said nothing.

Han Shoulu remained silent.

Fang Yunzhi knew that the three families were closely related and could not fall out over an outsider. He did not blame the two of them, so he turned to the Niu Man and said in demonic language: "Take me for a walk in the village."

"Yes, His Majesty the Moon Emperor!"

Fang Yun asked as he walked: "What is your name?"

"Niu Shan." Niu Man said.

Fang Yun nodded, indicating that he remembered.

Niushan brought Fang Yun to the tent, raised his head proudly and roared, "Your Majesty the Moon Emperor is here!"

More than a dozen barbarians came out of more than 40 large barbarian tents, mostly cattle barbarians, wolf barbarians and tiger barbarians, as well as a few sheep barbarians and horse barbarians.

The strength of these barbarians is not particularly high. There is one barbarian commander and four barbarian generals, and the rest are barbarian soldiers. Niushan is also a barbarian general, which is equivalent to lifting people, and his strength is not weak.

The handsome wolf came out, with a wolf head and a human body. The slightly opened mouth showed sharp teeth, and there was a fierce look in his eyes. After carefully examining Fang Yun, his attitude became kind. He nodded the wolf's head and said, "You Yue Hua Ji It seems that I have the blessing of the Moon God. As for the Moon Emperor, it’s better not to talk nonsense. Only I, the Barbarian, can be the Moon Emperor!”

The other barbarians originally welcomed him with joy, but after hearing what the handsome wolf said, they slowed down.

Niu Shan whispered: "The Moon God rules the three clans. It doesn't matter if each clan chooses the Moon Emperor. He has the bright moon in his eyes, and he is the legendary Moon Emperor."

The handsome wolf glared at Niushan, and said to him: "As long as you don't hurt our barbarians, we will treat you as our friends and let you come and go here. You are different from others. If a blood demon harms you, we will help you." you."

Fang Yun immediately said: "Thank you, Senior Manshuai."

"You're welcome." Marshal Langman glanced at the barbarians and returned to a larger tent.

Some of the barbarians left, but five barbarians, like Niushan, who called themselves Lord Moon Emperor, chatted with Fang Yun.

Jia Jing'an, who was not far away, sighed and said: "It's true that Fang Yun is a scholar, but he has a good relationship with the star demon. If he can join us, at least he will be within a hundred miles!"

Xun Ye said: "We all have Yuehua. These monsters are easy to talk to. You just need to bring out the things they are in urgent need. You can ask anything. No luck is needed. The Holy Ruins have not had luck for thousands of years. Other seniors can't do the same." Leave safely?"

Han Shoulu raised his head and glanced at the sky, and said: "At night, the demon clan is illuminated by the stars and the moon, and its strength is a bit stronger than during the day. Let's rest for the night and make plans for tomorrow."

"Okay." The other two nodded in agreement.

While chatting with the barbarians, Fang Yun observed the surroundings and thought about what to do tomorrow based on the map and the barbarians' words.

The area within a mile was still shrouded in mist, and it looked very cold here.

The village is built on the mountain. The mountain is slightly different from the ground. It is not dark red. There are many strange plants growing there, which are the food of these monsters. These monsters rely on absorbing the power of the stars and the moon to practice, even if they don't eat or drink, they are just in poor health.

There are many caves on the hillside, and some monsters poke their heads to look here. Although the older monsters do not hate Fang Yun, they are also a little wary. The younger monsters are more curious and want to come down and have a look.

They chatted until the moon set in the west and the barbarians fell asleep one after another. Niushan invited Fang Yun to his tent, where he originally lived alone.

Fang Yun entered the tent, took out the blanket from Hanhuberry and lay down, listening to Niushan's snoring, he couldn't fall asleep, and the map he had memorized appeared in his mind.

"The Holy Ruins say we kill demons and savages, but the demons and barbarians swarm in groups. There are few of us, so we can't do it at all, so the main purpose of entering the Holy Ruins is to find some treasures. However, unlike me, those big families want Maybe it's not the Holy Blood Sacred Jade, it should be the same as Fierce Lord, and it may even be the biggest secret of the Holy Ruins. However, it has nothing to do with me."

Fang Yun thought to himself, took out the blood-dropped animal skin, looked at it, and put it into his inner pocket.

Fang Yun thought for a long time and was about to go to sleep when the demon clan watching on the mountain suddenly roared: "A group of humans are coming!"

Fang Yun immediately walked out of the tent, and under the moonlight, he saw a group of people emerging from the fog, and a big rabbit stood out.
