The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2639 Mechanism Competition

Fang Yunba was unmoved by the wind and looked calm as he counted the number of Haiya scholars who had come here.

At that time, there were a total of fifty-seven Confucian scholars outside Zhuge Sheng's residence, but now, there were thirty-one Confucian scholars in Haiya at the Tongsheng venue, which was far beyond the normal probability. No matter how big the city of Shu is, it is still one of the ten cities. No matter how stupid the industry is, there is no way they can be so concentrated.

However, Fang Yun quickly figured it out and secretly sighed in his heart, it is easier to do things when there are more people, but old age is still hotter.

I am alone and weak. I just want to pass the test without considering other factors. Even if you want to use other means, it will be difficult to achieve, after all, you are only one person.

However, the great scholars of Haiya Ancient Land were different. They were naturally focused on self-interest. This was the custom of Haiya Ancient Land and one of the reasons why Haiya Ancient Land could continue to develop. Therefore, after they entered here, the first thing they wanted to do was not to pass the test with their own strength, but to unite and concentrate all their strength to crowd out the enemy.

It is extremely simple for fifty-seven great scholars to exclude one person.

Fang Yun could fully imagine that those great scholars tried every means to gather together and even found out that he was in Tianjifang, but instead of alerting the enemy, they arranged for a large number of people to enter Shu City and suppress him with absolute power.

However, they also know that eggs cannot be put in the same basket, and they have also scattered other great scholars in various places. Even if the suppression operation fails, others will remain unscathed.

Fang Yun's face seemed a little gloomy, and he looked frustrated and even a little disheartened.

The great scholars from Haiya Ancient Land winked at each other, got up one after another, and came to Fang Yun's vicinity, frightening the other young craftsmen nearby and hurriedly getting out of the way.

The Tongsheng venue is the largest, with a huge platform at the front. All the Tongsheng will go up and show off their tools and mechanisms, and three Confucian craftsmen will judge.

Participants' seats are on the left side of the platform, relatively densely packed.

All the great scholars from Haiya Ancient Land and their men came over and sat around Fang Yun, almost surrounding Fang Yun.

Among these great Confucians, there were three Wenzong, but the leader was Jing Lan, a great Confucian of the Four Realms.

Jing Lan slightly raised his hand to Fang Yun and said, "Thank you Brother Fang for opening the door to the industry. After entering this place, I have been awake for days and have been learning the craftsmanship skills here. If nothing goes wrong, I can be promoted to Wenzong in a month at most." ”

Fang Yun did not answer, and the other Haiya scholars looked at Fang Yun with smiles.

Jing Lan suddenly sighed softly and said: "I apologize to Brother Fang first. After Mr. Ting Yu revealed Ning'an technology to me, I felt conflicted in my heart. As a great scholar, I should not take these as my own." , But, on the other hand, for the sake of Haiya Ancient Land, I must give up my own likes and dislikes. You should. It is clear that even without Ning'an technology, I can easily be promoted to Wenzong craftsman when I get here. Therefore, in order to prevent me from hurting Mr. Fang in the future, I ask Mr. Fang to hand over the fragments of Wenqu Star and withdraw from Zhuge Holy Residence and the Holy Land. If the Yuan Continent is connected, we, the great scholar from Haiya, will definitely bear the blame."

Fang Yun looked at Jing Lan carefully. Although this man's eyes flickered, unlike Lei Tingyu, he did not want to make enemies.

Fang Yun said slowly: "Your heart to protect the ancient land of Haiya is strong, but I must tell you that the ancient land of Haiya will only last forever if it is integrated into the Shengyuan Continent. In history, any group that prefers to settle in a corner will eventually They will all be swallowed up by powerful ethnic groups, or even completely wiped out from the world. I can guarantee with my literary courage that I must have selfish motives, but everything I do is far more beneficial to Haiya Ancient Land than you. It’s like sitting in a well and looking at the sky!”

There was no visible change on the faces of most Haiya scholars, and only a few of them who didn't like to hide their appearance showed angry expressions.

Jing Lan nodded and said: "I believe that some of Fang Xusheng's actions may indeed be beneficial to Haiya Ancient Land. However, before the results appear, we cannot trust an outsider to help Haiya Ancient Land more than others." Us. So, if you are stubborn, I can only choose to protect Haiya Ancient Land between you and Haiya Ancient Land."

Fang Yun said categorically: "If an ethnic group wants to truly progress, it must sweep away the remaining poison. Even if it will damage the belief of this ethnic group, only in this way will the ethnic group lower their heads, let go of their arrogance, and learn humbly. And absorb the advanced knowledge, ideas and power from the outside world. Since you are determined to go your own way, I will not show mercy when I clean up the ancient land of Haiya."

"Fang Yun, you are too arrogant. You cannot deny the efforts of our Haiya people on your own!" Jing Lan was not angry, but just thought Fang Yun was wrong.

"No, I am using the experience of the sages, the lessons of history, and the development of all realms to deny the wrong efforts of you Haiya people! The direction is wrong, and all efforts are nothing but a mirror." Fang Yun said.

"Then, let's start by defeating us in Zhuge Shengju! If you can defeat all fifty-seven of us, then why not entrust the entire Haiya Ancient Land to you!" Jing Lan suddenly smiled with relief, turned and left. .

Most of the other great scholars looked gloomy, and only a few of them seemed to have some enlightenment.

"We will go all out to protect the ancient land of Haiya. If unfortunately we fail, we are lucky to have you." A great medical scholar said with a smile before leaving.

"I really hope we win, but I won't despair because of failure!" A military strategist left proudly.

"You are destined to be wrong!"

"If you are defeated in Haiya Ancient Land, we will protect the Holy Yuan Continent for you!"

One after another, the great scholars expressed their attitudes and left one after another.

Fang Yun smiled.

When the time came, the passage to the Tongsheng seat was closed. A Jinshi craftsman who presided over the tool and mechanism competition walked onto the platform. He first gave a speech with eloquence, and then neatly invited all Tongsheng craftsmen to the platform and stand in the corresponding positions according to the numbers of the small mechanism bells they received.

More than a thousand Tongsheng craftsmen lined up to receive a small copper bell about three inches high from the entrance of the platform, and then stepped onto the platform.

Fang Yun signed up late, and the small copper bell he received was engraved with the three words "九七四" on it, which was very far back. Fang Yun carried the small copper bell, found the place engraved with 九七四 on the platform, and then placed the small copper bell at his feet.

These Tongsheng craftsmen all had one or more gray brocade bags hanging around their waists. These were the unique mechanism brocade bags in the industry.

Every time a rank is promoted, the craftsman will get a free mechanism brocade bag. Each brocade bag can hold mechanisms, materials, tools, and other things related to the craftsman's technology. The higher the rank, the larger the brocade bag.

Some craftsmen with prominent family backgrounds can get extra brocade bags from their families.

Fang Yun also wore a mechanical brocade bag, but the space was too small, so he was used to using the Tiandi Bei.
