The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Daofeng Mountain, Holy Courtyard.

On the left side of the Square of the Holy Temples, there is a Ten-Nation Tower.

The Ten-Nation Tower has ten floors, and each floor has a vermilion gate, with plaques on the gates with the names of the ten countries.

The highest point of the Ten-Nation Tower is inscribed with "Qiguo", ranking first, looking down on the human race, and below it are Wuguo, Shuguo, Yunguo, Jiaguo, Qingguo, Yueguo, Shenguo, Jingguo and Guguo.

Whenever people from the big countries pass by the Square of the Holy Temples, they will hold their heads high, but people from Shenguo, Jingguo and Guguo will blush when they pass by, and dare not look at the Ten-Nation Tower.

The order of the Ten-Nation Tower from top to bottom is exactly the same as the order of the Ten-Nation Competition last year.

In the literary world of the competition, Fang Yun entered the majestic Mount Lu and disappeared, while several Shangshe Jinshi stared at the steep mountains in a daze.

"There are four questions in this Thousand Miles Tour. Except for the first question, which is like a godsend for Fang Yun and the second question, which is fair to him, the last two questions are almost embarrassing for the candidate. However, he is able to surpass all the other candidates. He is really a strange man."

"There were similar questions in the previous Thousand Miles Tour. But if you look closely at this mountain, its shape is much more majestic than before. This mountain is not easy to climb."

Yun Xunsong bowed to the front and raised his head and said, "Excuse me, how can we climb the mountain?"

"You can use your talent, but you can't use your talent to mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth. You...just consider yourself unlucky."

The Jinshi of Shangshe were at a loss whether to laugh or cry. The person who presided over this Thousand Miles Tour must be a great scholar. Logically, this great scholar should answer seriously, but in the end he said something that was faintly gloating, which was really rare.

Ma Yuan smiled and said, "I understand what this great scholar meant. When the great scholars set the test questions, they must have realized that Fang Yun and Yan Yukong were the two candidates, and they also knew that the last two questions were not favorable to the candidates. As a result, the fourth question helped Fang Yun."

Kong Deyu suddenly snorted and said, "I heard that the question of the Thousand Miles Expedition was opposed by a certain great scholar, so it was changed to be favorable to the Jinshi. Unfortunately, it was a pity that it was not enough to steal the chicken and lose the rice."

The Shangshe Jinshi present was well-informed. After hearing this, he immediately understood that it was very likely that the Lei family was making things difficult for Fang Yun, but it was also obvious that someone was helping Fang Yun, so the first and fourth questions were related to poetry.

"I think Yan Yukong is the most unlucky one. With his ability, he should have been ranked in the top 30 out of 110 people in this Thousand Miles Expedition, but now that the third and fourth questions are out, he may be ranked outside the 70th."

Xun Li looked at Lei Shisan of Jiaguo with a bad look. Although the Lei family and Qingguo both regarded Fang Yun as their enemy, they have always been rivals in the Ten Kingdoms Competition. Last year, Jiaguo ranked seventh and Qingguo ranked eighth. If it was really the Lei family's interference in the topic of the Ten Nations Competition that caused the number of empty chips in Yanyu to decrease this year, Qingguo would also be a victim.

Lei Shisan immediately turned his head to look at the other side, ignoring Xun Li's attitude, and then said: "Everyone, hurry up and write poems about mountains. If you write too late, Fang Yun will walk fast and may be lucky enough to avoid a mountain."

Ma Yuan said: "Don't worry, since we can't mobilize our vitality for the next 300 miles, we can only use our bare hands and directly use our talents, so Fang Yun won't run too fast. After all, he is a juren, and we are jinshi, so there is a little hope to catch up with him."

Lei Shisan and Xun Li's faces immediately improved, which is good news for Qingguo and the Lei family.

But Kong Deyu shook his head and said: "I talked to my cousin Delun about Fang Yun, he is different. Not to mention that he dares to eat dragon balls, just the three times of talent before the saint makes his body close to that of ordinary demon generals. This kind of bare-handed walking and climbing, Fang Yun is definitely better than us!"

Long Shisan and Xun Li's faces fell.

Mount Lushan is a rolling mountain range in front of others, but in front of Fang Yun it is a translucent shadow that will not have any impact on him. Only the ten mountains formed by the students of the other ten academies will stop him.

Fang Yun began to run, faster and faster, and soon surpassed the speed of ordinary people's short-term sprint.

Fang Yun was originally in poor health, but after six times of talent falling from the sky, he ate many pseudo-dragon balls, was illuminated by the moonlight, won the star king, and was nourished by the starlight of Wenqu. Recently, he entered the sky tree, and has been eating the tonic food of the palace. His body is no weaker than that of ordinary demon generals!

At this moment, Fang Yun can fight lions and tigers with his bare hands.

At this moment, Fang Yun's running speed is already the speed of ordinary demon generals, close to the speed of ordinary scholars using the Juren's fast-moving war poems!

On the vast black land, Fang Yun ran forward like a leopard.

The scholars in front of the literary academies in various places in the ten countries were all stunned.

Fang Yun ran for half a quarter of an hour, the ground shook, and there was a rumbling sound in front.

Fang Yun slowed down his pace and saw a high mountain rising from the ground, but no matter how high, steep or thick it was, it was not as high as the Lushan Mountain that he first materialized.

That Lushan Mountain was not just one mountain, but a group of mountains, but this mountain seemed to be just a peak more than 300 feet high.

Fang Yun carefully observed the mountain, and immediately thought of the best climbing route in his mind, then rushed to the mountain, stepped on the bumps or trees on the mountain and climbed up quickly.

Fang Yun almost never stopped, climbing higher and higher, more agile than apes.

Not long after, Fang Yun climbed to the top of the mountain and found that it was indeed just a solitary peak. But it was easy to climb up the mountain but difficult to go down the mountain. Fang Yun spent more time on the top of the mountain observing and thinking about the route down the mountain, and then slowly climbed down, slower than the previous climbing.

In this way, Fang Yun ran for a while, climbed a mountain, ran for a while, climbed a mountain...

At first, many people still paid attention to Fang Yun, but they soon got tired of it because there was no suspense, so they began to watch those people in Lushan.

Those people got lost after entering Lushan Mountain and kept wandering around the mountain.

People from behind continued to enter Lushan Mountain, but except for the people in Jingguo, who could regard Lushan Mountain as if it were nothing, everyone else could not get out.

When Fang Yun climbed the first mountain, the fastest twelve Shangshe Jinshi had already entered Mount Lu. When Fang Yun climbed the third mountain, they were still in Mount Lu.

When Fang Yun stood on the top of the ninth mountain, Kong Deyu walked out of Mount Lushan with eyes blank.

"Fang Yun this bastard!"

Slowly, more and more Jinshi left Lushan and continued to travel thousands of miles.

I don't know how long it took, Pan Jueming, a Jinshi of the State of Gu, finally walked out of Lushan Mountain. He gently wiped the sweat on his forehead and looked around. He couldn't see anyone, and he was surprised.

Pan Jueming ran down a mountain. As a Jinshi, his body is far stronger than that of ordinary people, and he can run for a whole day at the speed of an ordinary person's full sprint.

Not long after, Pan Jueming climbed to the top of the second mountain and looked ahead, but he couldn't see anyone.

Pan Jue thought to himself: "I am a Jinshi of Gu State. Even if Gu State ranked eleventh last year, I will not be much different from the people from other countries. There is no one in front of me. It is impossible for me to be behind everyone. Could it be... …Is it my luck that I got out of that mysterious mountain early?”

Pan Jueming looked back at Lushan Mountain in the mist, his right fist clenched and his fighting spirit high.

"Today will definitely be the day when I, Pan Jueming, will become famous in the ten countries!"

Pan Jueming took a deep look at Lushan Mountain and started to go down the mountain.

Pan Jueming climbed one mountain after another, and finally came down from the tenth mountain. After running for a while, he saw a stone gate with no one in front.

After being stunned for a moment, a smile broke out on Pan Jueming's face. He knew that people from all over the ten countries must be looking at him at this moment. He straightened his clothes, coughed lightly, and walked towards the exit with his head held high.

The more he walked, the more excited he became. After reaching the door, he finally couldn't help but look back, looked at the mountains, and said with a smile: "Everyone, I'm going out first. Please continue to work hard."

Pan Jueming walked out of the literary world with a victorious smile.

With brilliance flashing before his eyes, Pan Jueming appeared in the competition venue of Confucius Academy.

At this time, the sky in the east was glowing with fish belly white, and it was already the early morning of the second day.

Pan Jueming expected to hear cheers and congratulations, so he raised his head high with a faint smile.

But the next moment, Pan Jueming frowned, because what came to his ears was not cheers, but ups and downs of laughter, and tens of thousands of people were laughing together.

Pan Jueming hurriedly scanned the audience and saw tens of thousands of people laughing, some even holding their stomachs and laughing.

He hurriedly looked at the area where the Shangshe Jinshi were, and found that there were ten people sitting in each area, except for Gu Guo, where nine people were sitting.

The Jinshi of Gu State covered their faces and lowered their heads, pretending not to see Pan Jueming.

"Gu Guo, Pan Jueming, Liuchi." A voice sounded in the sky.

Pan Jueming's face quickly turned from white to red, and from red to gray.

Six chips is the minimum number of chips needed to pass the Thousand Miles Road. If it is lower than six chips, it will fail and there will be no chips.

Only then did Pan Jueming realize that he was the last person to walk thousands of miles, and that he was indeed famous among the ten countries by saying those words in front of hundreds of millions of people.

Fang Yun shook his head with a smile. Five hours had passed since he had completed his journey of thousands of miles. He even lay down on Jingguo's seat and slept for an hour. The rest of the time, he closed his eyes and read in the world of strange books. The reason why I couldn't leave because I was waiting for this Pan Jueming.

Many people left the venue, and the person sitting in the worst humanities seat now was Juren. It didn't matter that he hadn't slept for three days and three nights. They had been waiting for Pan Jueming.

"The first round of the Ten Kingdoms Competition has ended. The scores of each country have been displayed on the light screen. The Valley Kingdom is ranked eleventh and will not be able to participate in the second round of 'Reading Ten Thousand Volumes of Books'. You can go back and rest. The second competition will begin in the afternoon." The host of the Ten Nations Competition announced the end of the first competition.

Fang Yun was about to look at the light curtain in the center of the venue with others, when he heard the complaints of people from the Confucius Academy.

“That bastard Fang Yun, in the past hundred years, there has never been a time when the first place in ‘Walking Ten Thousand Miles’ was lower than 80 chips!”

Fang Yun smiled helplessly and continued to look at the light screen, which only showed the sum of the chips of ten people from each country.

The first place, Confucius Academy, scored six out of seventy-eight.

The second place, Shu Academy, scored nine out of seventy-six.

Third place, Qiguo Academy, seventy-six and three.

Fourth place, Wuguo Academy, seventy-five and eight.

Fifth place, Yunguo Academy, seventy-four and seven.

Sixth place, Jiaguo Academy, sixty-eight and nine.

Seventh place, Jingguo Academy, sixty-eight and seven.

Eighth place, Yueguo Academy, sixty-six and four.

Ninth place, Qingguo Academy, sixty-five and one in total.

Tenth place, Shenguo Academy, sixty-three and two.

Eleventh place, Guguoxue Palace, sixty-two chips.

The last row is gray.

Fang Yun couldn't laugh or cry as he watched the final ranking. This number of chips created the lowest record in the history of the Ten-Nation Competition.

Conde commented: "Fang Yun is so bad. He knows that Jingguo cannot defeat us, so he improves Jingguo's ranking by lowering our chips!"

More than half of the Shangshe Jinshi nodded gloomily.
