The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

When he saw the Falling Star Bridge for the first time, watching the dozen meteors falling together, Fang Yun had the urge to run away, because unlike these people, he knew the power of falling meteors.

This fourth corridor is only more than twenty miles long and one mile wide. Dozens of meteors falling together are enough to turn this place into ruins, but the meteors here failed to do so.

In order to determine the power of meteorites, Fang Yun went into the world of strange books to search for relevant books, and soon got the answer.

The meteors in this fourth corridor are as powerful as normal meteors when flying in the sky, but once they approach the bridge, their power becomes significantly weaker. Both the scope and intensity of the shock wave and the flames of the meteors are not as good as when they are in mid-air.

Fang Yun thought of the way the tiger demon saint used to deal with the meteor. He obviously relied on the power of the ice bridge to weaken the meteor. The reason why the demon elephant was interrupted by a blow was because the meteor was not close to the ice at that time and its power was not weakened at all. .

Therefore, Fang Yun carefully observed the changes in the meteor and soon discovered that as soon as the meteor reached three feet above the ground, its power began to weaken. The moment it hit the ice, its power weakened even more.

Fang Yun immediately walked onto the bridge, felt it carefully, and found that the chill was strongest when it was three feet high, and became very weak when it was more than three feet high.

"Meteors, like avalanches, are not natural forces. They are both controlled by the power of the Comet Gallery. Moreover, the power of coldness has obvious restraint on meteors. If you can control the coldness in the ice bridge, you will most likely be able to pass through the Falling Star Bridge. ”

"Besides that, it's best to understand the purpose of Demon Ancestor's test."

Fang Yun thought hard.

"Both the avalanche slope and the floating ice river tested strength, reaction, flexibility, endurance, etc. The meteors on the Falling Star Bridge were so strong that no one could resist them head-on, so it was impossible to test their strength. The way for the Holy Son of the Tiger Demon to cross the bridge was to first Weakening the opponent is more like a human military strategy, not the mainstream fighting method of the demon clan. If the prediction is correct, this is a test, and the demon ancestor is giving guidance to the demon barbarian, teaching the demon barbarian what to know when it is absolutely invincible. Use other forces!"

Fang Yun figured this out and suddenly became enlightened.

"Most demons and barbarians are brainless. Even geniuses are mostly reflected in strength rather than wisdom. They prefer to use strength alone to solve all conflicts. This way of testing the brain is a piece of cake for the human race. , but it’s particularly different for Yaoman.”

"The Demon Ancestor can't teach the demon barbarians to think more with their heads, so we simply set up this falling star bridge. First, let all the demon barbarians 'dodge' the meteors, and finally find a way to 'weaken' the meteors before they can pass. The purpose is to let those demon barbarians I know that sometimes things that cannot be solved by brute force can be solved by thinking about it with your brain.”

When Fang Yun thought of this, he suddenly showed a dumbfounded expression.

"The test of the demon ancestor is fine for the genius demon barbarian, but it is extremely difficult for us humans to participate in this test because the speed and reaction cannot keep up! It can be said that the entire Comet Corridor is like this. A single person can make Aoxue Poems about "I feel like facing a shooting star" No, the power of the meteor is too strong. Even if we can write poems to resist the meteor, the talent of Juren is not enough. Therefore, we have to avoid the meteor like the demon man. As for the final resistance to the meteor, we must use the ice bridge. strength."

"Controlling the coldness of the ice bridge is one of them, and finding the laws of meteor falling is equally important, and those safe points without meteor falling must also be mastered. Only by taking into account the three, can we cross the bridge. Coupled with the quick poetry, we will have a chance Pass."

Fang Yun figured it out, turned around and saw that the people were also discussing. He used Fang Yun's ice separation method before to start summarizing, but found that it was not particularly easy to use.

Fang Yun raised his head and observed the meteors in the sky.

From time to time, some silvery-white bright spots will appear in the sky. After one breath, the bright spots will turn into meteors and fall rapidly. This meteor does not fall naturally, but has an extremely high speed from the beginning, and often falls to the ground after two or three breaths.

Fang Yun tried to memorize the positions of meteors in the sky the way he memorized floating glaciers, and soon discovered a pattern, and his expression softened. After a while, the pattern became clearer, and Fang Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

However, after just a moment, Fang Yun's face returned to a solemn look.

"The rules are changing! Or there is no long-term rule at all! The height, size and speed of meteors can be traced for a certain period of time, but they will change immediately after a while. Moreover, those stars are too far away and are too positioned in space. Trouble, why not observe the landing point of the meteor. Since there is no meteor hitting the place where the tiger demon saint once stood, maybe there are more similar places in the ice bridge."

Fang Yun began to stare at the ground. This time he no longer looked for the pattern of meteors, but looked for a "safe point", a place where meteors would not directly hit him.

However, Fang Yun soon discovered that there was no place that was not hit by meteors.

Fang Yun was unwilling to give up. He regarded the twenty-mile-long ice bridge as a rectangular plane in his mind, and then divided it into many vertical and horizontal lines spaced ten feet apart. He divided the ice bridge plane into ten-foot-square grids and recorded them. The meteor's fall position.

After half an hour, eight plans of the ice bridge appeared in Fang Yun's mind. During this period, the meteors changed eight times. At the same time, Fang Yun discovered an astonishing phenomenon. No matter how the patterns of meteors changed, there were still some extraordinary changes. special.

Whenever the meteor falling pattern changes, the second batch of meteors will not fall where the first batch of meteors fall until the meteor falling pattern changes again.

Fang Yun suddenly realized.

"There are safety points on Luo Xing Bridge, but the locations of these safety points are constantly changing!"

Fang Yun did not express his opinion immediately, but began to look at the bridge deck to cite his method: use the timing of meteors to judge the time when the pattern changes, and then determine when the meteors are the first batch of the new pattern, thus Identify safe spots.

After verification, Fang Yun was convinced that he had the right method. He was about to tell others and let everyone work together, but suddenly he shut up helplessly.

Because in the process of searching for meteor patterns, a lot of mathematical and physical knowledge is involved. Without those formulas, only vague results will be obtained, and whoever uses them will die.

Fang Yun reluctantly walked over to where those people were and listened to their opinions.

As a result, Fang Yun discovered that they still have no clear method because they cannot grasp the laws of meteors and cannot find the location of safe points. And they do not know how powerful the real meteors and meteorites are, nor the changes in strength. , naturally it is not found that the cold can weaken the power of meteors.

After a while, Han Shoulu asked, "Have you found anything?"

"We already have some ideas, and we need specific operations next. How much do you know about the ubiquitous chill in the Comet Corridor?" Fang Yun asked.

Everyone looked blank.

"In addition to being cold, does this thing have any other secrets?" Zong Wude asked.

"The cold in this ice bridge can weaken the power of meteors. The power of meteors is actually very strong, but after contact with the cold air, the power will drop significantly. If we want to pass the fourth corridor, we must learn to control this cold." Fang Luck.

"Alas, we have no chance. You can ask us, even if we return to the first corridor, how many of us dare to feel the chill? If we fail, our limbs will be frozen and disabled at best, or completely disabled at worst. die."

Fang Yun smiled and said, "I didn't think much about it at the time."

"That's why you can succeed, but we have fear and greed in our hearts. Even if we return to the first corridor now, it's not enough to 'rectify our mind.' If you can do this, you are almost righteous. In the future, it will be easier for you to get a glimpse of the "Eight Dharma of the Great Rites" than for us "More."

Fang Yun knew that the "Book of Rites" proposed "investigating things, seeking knowledge, sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, regulating the family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world", which were the eight of the three cardinal principles and the eight principles in Shengyuan Continent. It is an important component of etiquette, especially "right heart", which is particularly helpful for the cultivation of Haoran's righteousness. Therefore, as long as they are a bachelor, everyone will study these "Eight Methods of Dali".

Fang Yun said: "Those who have a right heart are invincible, their literary courage is like fine gold, and their aura of awe-inspiring will last forever. I can't reach the 'right heart' at the moment, I just have no distractions."

"The Book of Rites says: If you have fear, you will not be able to do it right. If you had no fear at that time, you would naturally get it right. You should be our mentor." Han Shoulu said respectfully.

Fang Yun smiled and said: "The Book of Rites also says: If you have worries, you will not be righteous. I am still 'born of worries', and I am thousands of miles away from the righteous mind. If you mean concentration, I can admit it."

"Master Fang is worried about danger but has no fear in his heart. Only then can he lead us across the avalanche slope. If he can lead us across the Luoxing Bridge, he will not only have the ability to have a righteous mind, but also the ability to 'observe things'." Han Shoulu said.

Everyone praised him for his kindness.

Fang Yun smiled and said nothing. The purpose of investigating things is to explore the truth of things. Gongjia even lists mechanisms, gears, levers, etc. as objects. Using the knowledge of later generations to solve the problem of Luoxing Bridge is indeed equivalent to the ability of investigating things.

Zong Wude smiled and said: "Teachers and students, please stop praising each other! Let's get down to business! How to control the coldness? Who can do it? Yukong, you have the highest talent among us in cultivation. Can you realize the power of the coldness?"

Yan Yukong shook his head and said: "I missed the first corridor, and now I have lost the best opportunity to feel the cold. Don't think about me. But this cold appears everywhere. It must come from the comet and the power of the Demon Ancestor. We are waiting. There is nothing you can do, but Fang Yun can control this coldness by either using comets or using the power of Demon Ancestor."

Mo Shan on the side suddenly said: "In terms of morality, the dragon of the Kong family can cross the comet corridor, does it rely on the power of the comet or the possession of the demon ancestor?"

Everyone laughed at Confucius' theory, and Fang Yun couldn't help but chuckle to himself. These top scholars from the ten countries were really smart. Yan Yukong deduced the nature of the chill after hearing it, and Mo Shan contacted the people who passed through the Comet Corridor after hearing it. way.

Comte smiled bitterly, and finally said helplessly: "I really don't know, but I guess it's the latter."

Fang Yun said slowly: "I also guess the latter."

Everyone was silent. Fang Yun guessed that the person might not be the dragon of the Kong family.
