The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2422 Discussion on the Lake

"I don't think you need to be quiet. After all, you and I need to be treated by saints." Yi Zhishi looked at Fang Yun with a smile.

Fang Yun gave Dong Wencong a wink, and Dong Wencong immediately left with the others, leaving only Fang Yun, Li Wenying and Yi Zhishi on the boat.

"Sir, you are a great talent, but it is true that I was injured." Fang Yun said with a smile.

Yi Zhishi took a sip of tea and said: "I finished handling the affairs in the Holy Court, and originally wanted to go back to Wu Kingdom directly, but I remembered that I had not finished my sermon with you that day, so I couldn't help myself, so I wanted to continue the sutra meeting. After that, Yi Then I can talk to you about destiny.”

Unexpectedly, Fang Yun said: "I happen to have nothing to do, so it's okay to talk about the scriptures. As for the matter of destiny, I don't bother you, sir. I already have the foundation. I just want to say that at present, Shengyuan Continent is undergoing drastic changes, and the star power of Wenqu is far beyond what it was before. If you There is no need for external things to be canonized.”

Li Wenying showed a clear look, and then he understood that Yi Zhishi not only wanted to talk to Fang Yun about scriptures, but also had the matter of canonization. After all, the one who was canonized first would gain the vitality of heaven and earth, and the canonization of others could only be postponed.

Yi Zhishi pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Konghe also returned safely. I once observed that without external force, he would not be able to be canonized within three years. Now that I have recovered from my illness and injury, although there have been twists and turns, the foundation of the holy path is deeper. He will surely ascend to the throne within this year.”

Fang Yun remained silent.

Li Wenying stayed out of the matter.

There was only the sound of drinking tea in the boat.

After a long time, Li Wenying said: "If I can be canonized, I can extend the country's life for three years."

Fang Yun still didn't say anything. The word "yan" meant that after the death of Chen Guanhaisheng, Yi Zhishi was willing to protect Jingguo's independence for three years and avoid being annexed by other countries.

Yi Zhishi took this as a condition and hoped that he could be canonized first.

After thinking for a long time, Fang Yun slowly said: "This matter is not up to me. I... will not follow the path of destiny!"

Yi Zhishi and Li Wenying looked at Fang Yun with wide eyes, showing disbelief. If they were not both great scholars with strong determination, they would probably throw out the tea cups in their hands.

Forging the destiny is the best path to sainthood that has been proven by the human race throughout the ages. Ever since this holy path was established, no one has bypassed this path to become a saint, not even a genius who knows the world like a robe.

Yi Zhishi frowned. Since Fang Yun told the top-secret matter related to the Holy Path, he wanted to prove that he could not determine time.

Fang Yun added: "Actually, I might be able to become a saint in the Blood Light Realm."

Yi Zhishi's eyes lit up and he nodded slightly, but he didn't believe it immediately.

Fang Yun looked at Yi Zhishi and said, "Actually, you have a shortcut, and that is to borrow a Wenquxing fragment."

Yi Zhishi shook his head slightly and said helplessly: "Don't mention this matter, it is absolutely impossible. Now all the Wenqu Star fragments have their owners, either from various countries or from various saints. Even if I want to be canonized, it will not be possible for the entire Wu Kingdom. Let me have the Wenquxing fragment in the capital exclusively, and at most I will be able to continue cultivating nearby.”

"I would like to take a piece of Wenquxing into your Wen Palace and take care of you for half a year." Fang Yun said.

Yi Zhishi asked: "Is it from the Blood Light Realm or the Shihan Ancient Land?"

Fang Yun said: "The Wenqu Star fragments in the Blood Light Realm cannot be touched lightly. Even if I take them, there will be complaints. I will not take them until the critical moment. I will use them for myself. I will lend you the Wenqu Star fragments from the Shihan Ancient Land. , obtained from elsewhere.”

Yi Zhishi lowered his head slightly and thought deeply.

Li Wenying looked leisurely and contented, but he was not making any assumptions in his heart. If it were the previous Yi Zhishi, he might not care about Wenquxing, but first he was injured by the Demon Emperor, and then found that others needed Wenquxing's help, so naturally he also wanted to get the fragments of Wenquxing to make the holy way more stable.

Soon, Li Wenying figured out the key, glanced at Fang Yun, raised his eyebrows, and continued to drink tea with his head down.

The strange thing is that after Fang Yun finished speaking, Yi Zhishi didn't answer for a long time.

After a long time, Yi Zhishi nodded and said: "Between you and me, there should be no third person canonized in the Holy Yuan Continent."

"Good! I would like to offer a toast to Mr. Zhuji."

Fang Yun raised the tea cup from afar, the two pushed it away, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Li Wenying nodded slightly. The result was the same as his previous guess.

The fragments of Wenquxing were so precious that they could not even be exchanged for the Great Sage's treasures. However, Fang Yun actually offered to lend them. There must be a need, and it was not an ordinary need.

What kind of person is Yi Zhishi? Without Fang Yun's explicit explanation, he knows that Fang Yun's price for lending Wenquxing must be to target Fang Yun's current biggest enemies, the Zong family or the Lei family.

With the Semi-Saint Sect Moju around, and Yi Zhishi unable to do anything to the clan, Fang Yun's target could only be the Lei family.

The key to the Lei family is whether Lei Konghe can be canonized.

Then, Fang Yun's intention is obvious, asking Yi Zhishi to prevent Lei Konghe from being canonized.

The right to use a piece of Wenquxing for half a year is enough to give Yi Zhishi a 100% chance of becoming a saint.

Compared with this transaction, Yi Zhishi is obviously more profitable. Fang Yun is willing to do this. In addition to solving the gap after the death of Lei Konghe and Chen Sheng, he is still willing to help Yi Zhishi, which can be regarded as repaying the help of Yi Zhishi at the Human Race Blood Tomb Cemetery. feeling.

However, Yi Zhishi's words were also very clever. He could only prevent Lei Konghe from being canonized in the Holy Yuan Continent. If Lei Konghe went to other ancient lands or worlds to be canonized, he would have nothing to do with it.

Li Wenying put down the tea and said with a smile: "Can we talk about the scriptures now? The beginning of your annotation for The Analects of Confucius..."

Afterwards, the two began to discuss the scriptures as if they were debating.

Li Wenying said nothing, but his eyes often flashed with brilliance, and he admired Fang Yun and Yi Zhishi's knowledge more and more.

The more Fang Yun and Yi Zhishi talked, the more excited they became.

Since Li Wenying was also here, at the end, Fang Yun deliberately proposed the method of literary warfare, especially the art of controlling the sword, and asked Li Wenying to participate.

In terms of the method of fighting, Fang Yun and Yi Zhishi together were not as good as Li Wenying.

Li Wenying's literary reputation was earned by killing.

Li Wenying learned a lot on the side and began to return the favor by telling all he had learned.

Fang Yun and Yi Zhishi nodded repeatedly, especially since they had just experienced the dangerous Burial Saint Valley and had a deep understanding of what Li Wenying said.

After that, the three of them talked about the world, which was less intense and more peaceful and full of worries.

Human scholars always have a sense of worry.

At sunrise, the three were still on the boat. After a day, at sunset, the three had not yet disembarked.

It was not until the second midnight that the three felt satisfied and found that the pleasure boat had returned to Dongting Lake.

The three knew that they were about to leave, but they were reluctant to leave, and no one spoke.

Li Wenying said first: "I wonder if anyone discussed the holy way here in the past."

Yi Zhishi said later: "Since the existence of heaven and earth, there has been Dongting Lake, is there still such a good guest?"

The three looked at each other and smiled.

Before and after this, the three of them were the best at discussing the way in Dongting Lake.

Yi Zhishi went to Wu State, and Li Wenying went north to Beijing.

Fang Yun went to Qing State alone.

In late autumn, peach blossoms were blooming all over Tao Mountain.

Fang Yun sat in the repaired Wuhou car, looking sick, and came to the foot of Tao Mountain.

Tao Mountain is not big, only two hundred feet high.

There is no one living nearby, and there is a courtyard at the foot of the mountain, guarding the stairs to the mountain.
