The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Fang Yun was thinking by the window when he heard a familiar voice coming from the street outside the window.

Fang Yun turned around and saw that Lei Yuanting was walking out from the door of Lingyun Tower and shouted to a row of private soldiers: "Stand up straight! Ninth brother is coming, cheer up! Ninth brother is not in a good mood today. , if you offend him, be careful with your heads!"

After Lei Yuanting finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and took out the official seal, then quickly took it back and said: "Ninth brother has entered the city, go and greet him quickly!"

Then Lei Yuanting got on the carriage, and the group of private soldiers trotted behind the carriage with neat steps, attracting many people's attention.

Fang Yun was curious. Lei Yuanting was a leader among the Lei family, and the relative he could treat so seriously was most likely a member of the Lei family's head family.

Fang Yun couldn't be sure for a while which ninth brother of the Lei family it was, but he was already sure that the Tianzi room in the Lingyun Building next door was reserved for Lei Yuanting.

"The members of the Lei family's family came to Jingguo for a big reason. Ninth brother? There are many ninth-ranked people in the Lei family's family, but when it comes to the ninth-ranked young people of the Lei family, everyone will think of Lei Jiu."

Fang Yun couldn't help but think of a habit of the Lei family.

Denglongtai is an ancient place belonging to the Dragon Clan. It is opened every year, but it is not suitable for entry every year. Sometimes it can be entered for several consecutive years, and sometimes it cannot be entered for three to five years. The Lei family has figured out the rules of ascending the Dragon Platform and specially trains the children of the Lei family for ascending the Dragon Platform.

The Lei family will select thousands of outstanding disciples from a generation, then train them together, gradually select and eliminate them, and finally select a hundred people, change their names from Lei Yi to Lei Bai, and undergo hellish training.

In the end, ten people were selected from these one hundred people as candidate disciples for the Dragon Climbing Platform. Only when they leave the Dragon Climbing Platform or give up entering the Dragon Climbing Platform will they get their original names. Otherwise, they will always use numerical names.

The next time the Dragon Climbing Platform opens, the person to enter has been decided, and it happens to be Lei Jiu.

Lei Jiu is a rare genius in the Lei family. He has been staying in Jinshi in order to obtain the title of Longtai. Because the Dragon Climbing Platform was a place where young dragons were nurtured in ancient times, overly powerful forces were prohibited from entering. Originally, it only blocked the power of the Holy Path. But after the ancient times, drastic changes took place on the Dragon Climbing Platform, which made it impossible for not only the saints to enter, but also Hanlin, Demon Lords and more powerful beings.

Others don't know the changes in the Dragon Climbing Platform, but Fang Yun, who has inherited the ancient demon's inheritance, knows it clearly.

In the early days of ancient times, the ancestral dragon was the most powerful and controlled all realms. In the middle of ancient times, the ancestral dragon disappeared, the sea changed, and all realms changed.

In the late ancient times, the dragon clan declined and the ancient demons rose. The two clans launched an earth-shattering war, which shattered the dragon world into pieces, and the Dragon Clan became an independent ancient land.

After that, the ancient demon clan was replaced by demon barbarians, the ancient era ended, and the ancient era entered. After the emergence of humans, a new era was formed.

As for the most distant ancient period, it has become an era that is untouchable by all life forms. Nowadays, the only life known to have experienced the ancient period is the ancestor of the Dragon Clan, the Ancestral Dragon.

Climbing the Dragon Platform is not the ancient place closest to the ancestral dragon, nor is it the most precious place, but it is the safest place compared to other dragon clan ancient places, so all clans want to obtain the secrets of the ancient and ancient times from it.

The only certificate for all ethnic groups to enter the Dragon Climbing Platform is the Dragon Climbing Stone.

Fang Yun smiled helplessly. The Lei family's Climbing Dragon Stone should have belonged to Lei Jiu, but he lost to him in the end.

The Lei Family's Dragon Climbing Stone is fundamentally different from ordinary Dragon Climbing Stones. The biggest difference is that it has the breath of a true dragon on it, and its role in the Dragon Climbing Platform is unimaginable.

Some great scholars even said that within a hundred years, a semi-sage would appear in the Lei family. After the emergence of half-saints in the Lei family, relying on the power of the dragon clan, the number of half-saints in the Lei family will increase explosively, and it may eventually become the family with the largest number of half-saints in the human race.

"This time the Lei family's dragon stone is returned to me, it is a small loss for the entire Lei family, but for Lei Jiu, it is equivalent to cutting off the hope of becoming a saint. Such a great hatred can be regarded as irreconcilable. No wonder he will Come here in person.”

Fang Yun realized the danger of Lei Jiu, closed his eyes and slowly recalled the deeds of Lei Jiu.

Not long after, the door was pushed open. Fang Yun opened his eyes and saw Qiao Juze leading several people standing outside the door.

Fang Yun stood up immediately, and Qiao Juze came in one after another with eight people.

Fang Yun glanced at the nine Shangshe Jinshi, and the eyes of two of them flickered. Fang Yun recognized these two people. One was from Kangshe and the other was from Liufengshe. However, there were only slight changes in their expressions. Hate or hostility.

Qiao Juze said helplessly: "I thought there would be no one in the afternoon, so I made a reservation a step late, which resulted in the room in the Tianzihao being booked in advance. However, the rooms in this place are similar, so I hope you don't mind."

"I even slept in the woodshed of the inn back then, so don't worry about such trivial matters. Business is more important," Ke Yuan said.

Qiao Juze nodded and said, "Brother Fang, you are familiar with the others. I will introduce you to this young genius Cui Wang."

Fang Yun looked at Cui Wang, who was tall and thin with a childish face. He smiled shyly and cupped his hands and said, "Cui Wang has met Brother Fang. Brother Qiao is trying to flatter me. He can never be called a genius in front of Fang Zhenguo." , otherwise it will be a disgrace to oneself.”

"Brother Cui, you're welcome. Brother Cui is a young genius." Fang Yun returned the favor.

"You two, stop complimenting each other and sit down quickly. There will be no drinking today. I have ordered food downstairs and we will discuss it after eating." Qiao Juze said.

As soon as everyone sat down, some cold dishes were brought out, and then hot dishes were served one after another. Everyone started eating after being hungry for a long time.

After dinner, before everyone could talk about the Ten Kingdoms Competition in detail, they suddenly heard someone downstairs speaking with Chun Lei: "I hope that everyone in Lingyun Tower will give Lei Mou some noodles. The distant court recently received distinguished guests. The distinguished guests like it." Qingjing, please leave. I will pay for the food and drinks, and the store will refund you double the money."

Fang Yun glanced at the people in the room. Most of them smiled and said nothing, and a few even laughed sarcastically.

Qiao Juze closed the window casually, then looked at Ke Yuan from Kangshe and Yan Zewei from Liufengshe indifferently, and said, "Don't forget, everyone, this is our country, Jingguo. Three streets away is the Academy."

Those two people didn't speak, and the others wouldn't refute.

Not long after, the restaurant manager knocked on the door and entered. After taking just one step, Qiao Juze said slowly: "Shopkeeper Jiang, please go out. This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't get yourself burned."

Shopkeeper Jiang stood there stunned, looked at everyone's faces, shook his hands, and said with a grimace: "Everyone is well, I just came to ask if there is anything missing. Since there is nothing missing, I will take my leave first."

Suddenly, a clear sword sound sounded, and the sharp sword sound spread throughout Lingyun Tower.

Fang Yun only felt a ringing in his ears, and then wisps of coldness surged around him. The tea that had been scalding his mouth was freezing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the soft steamed buns were slowly hardening.

"Han Jiao Pregnant Sword? It is indeed the wealthy Lei family." Fang Yun said.

"Hmph!" Qiao Juze snorted coldly, and a fair and peaceful sword sound of talent appeared in the room to dispel the cold sword sound.

Fang Yun smiled slightly and said: "Brother Qiao seems to be very important to the Chen family. Your sword is probably a complete dragon bone."

Qiao Juze shook his head and said: "No, even the Jinshi of the Chen family may not all have a complete dragon bone, let alone me. The dragon bone of my pregnancy sword is missing the head, which is enough for me."

Just as Fang Yun was about to speak, the window suddenly shook violently. A large amount of hoarfrost appeared in the cracks of the window and spread rapidly in all directions. At most, the entire room would be frozen for a hundred breaths.

"I'm here to help my brother-in-law!" Chen Lile, the Jinshi of Shangshe, gently opened his lips, and an invisible sword sound erupted, slowing down the expansion of the white frost.

The hoarfrost continues to spread.

Fang Yun was already certain in his heart that the person coming must be Lei Jiu. Except for Lei Jiu, the talents of the other ninth members of the Lei family, Jian Yin, would never be able to overpower the two people from the Chen Sheng family, even if one of them was Chen Sheng. The son-in-law of the family, one is a collateral line.

"It's not an easy person to come to the Lei family. His talent sword sound may have reached the second level." Gong Yangyu on the side spoke, and another talent sword sound appeared.

Fang Yun automatically converted in his mind. Although Shengyuan Continent did not measure the speed of sound in detail, it had the vague unit of "sound". One blast was the speed of sound, and two blasts was twice the speed of sound. The higher the number of the sword sounds, the higher the realm, and the stronger the verbal sword.

Qiao Juze, Chen Lile and Gong Yangyu worked together to suppress the sound of the cold dragon sword, and the white frost on the wall quickly retreated.

Suddenly someone downstairs said loudly: "I never thought that Jingguo would send three Jinshi to greet me as soon as I arrived in the capital. Lei Jiu was flattered."

As soon as the word "Lei Jiu" came out, everyone except Fang Yun changed their expressions. Even Qiao Juze couldn't hold it back.

Qiao Juze snorted coldly and said: "Brother Lei, it's such a big pomp. In the past, when a great scholar came to Lingyun Tower, there wasn't enough room for a table. You dare to drive away the entire hall even though you're only a Jinshi. It's too domineering!"

Lei Yuanting said: "My ninth brother traveled thousands of miles to come to Jingguo. What does emptying a restaurant mean? Don't you, Jingguo, even have the most basic way of hospitality?"

"The monster is coming, do you want to sweep the streets and sprinkle water?"

"Oh? Do you, Jingguo, treat the people of Jiaguo like monsters and savages?" Lei Yuanting asked loudly.

"It's your Lei family who treats my Jingguo students like monsters!" Qiao Juze said loudly.

"you……"

Lei Jiu suddenly interrupted Lei Yuanting and said: "If you can do it, try not to waste words. Let's go, I want to meet Jing Guojunyan for a while."

Then I heard Lei Yuanting whisper the names of Qiao Juze and the other three people.

As Lei Jiu walked, Chun Lei said: "I didn't expect to be greeted by three Shangshe Jinshi. Lei was overjoyed. I heard that Brother Qiao is a leader in calligraphy, Brother Chen is a master in Qin Dao, and Brother Gongyang is a poet. Jue, then I will discuss music, books and poetry with Trinity. I can hear the breathing of seven people in the room. Since they welcome me, Lei Jiu, let’s come together.”

Only then did everyone understand that Lei Jiu wanted to sacrifice the sword with the literary name of a Jinshi in Jingguo Shangshe.

Everyone in the room was silent.

The remaining nine people all looked at Fang Yun, all with strange expressions on their faces. Some of them even had the tendency to laugh out loud, but they held it back in the end.

Lei Yuanting, who was downstairs, laughed loudly and said with a tongue-tied tongue: "Why, you don't dare to speak out anymore? I decided for Lao Jiu. If you go out to greet us before we knock on the door, admit your mistake, and leave Lingyun Tower, the matter will be over. . Otherwise, hehe..."

The ten people continued to be silent. Cui Wang glanced at Fang Yun, pursed his lips, smiled, and whispered: "Isn't it too bad that we don't talk?"

"It's quite bad, but it has to continue to be bad. Come, drink tea." Qiao Juze held up the cool tea.

The ten people raised their glasses together and drank tea together.

Fang Yun sighed softly.
