The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 496 Listening to Sermons and Reading Carefully

The white mist invaded Xun Li's Wen Dan, and the surface of the Wen Dan, which was originally crystal clear, became gray, as if dust had fallen on it.

Xun Li's hand trembled slightly while answering the question, and the brush swept across. There was a problem with the word "Yu" he was writing. He had to cross out the word and continue writing at the back.

"I'm a little tired, I must persevere!" Xun Li had no time to think about other problems and continued to write hard.

After answering this question, Xun Li picked up the pen, and saw that the paper pages were like green leaves welcoming autumn, suddenly withered and yellowed, and then flew to the back.

Xun Li cursed in his heart. This question did have a trap, but with his ability, he should not be unable to see it. It must be because he was too anxious.

Xun Li took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and was about to continue answering the question. His mind moved and he looked at Fang Yun.

He saw Fang Yun writing quickly, one stroke at a time, and his speed was only less than 10% slower than at the beginning. This shows that Fang Yun had no problems with his Wen Dan, talent or mind.

There was still no yellowed paper behind Fang Yun. The thick test paper in front of him was like a silver mountain, higher than everyone else's and brighter than everyone else's.

Xun Li was annoyed. Even if Fang Yun wrote furiously, he could not finish answering the two questions. At most, he could finish answering one and a half questions. But who could have expected that he could do two things at once? That was the supreme literary mind, which had unimaginable effects in both study and literary battles.

Later, Xun Li felt even more regretful. When he planned to get Yan Zewei drunk, others suggested that the drunk Yan Zewei should participate at the last moment to leave a way out for Jingguo so that the number of chips would not be too low. However, he wanted to kill Fang Yun and Jingguo and completely prevent Yan Zewei from participating in the competition, which backfired.

Xun Li cursed Fang Yun in his heart and continued to answer questions, but he did not realize that his thinking speed and answering speed began to slow down.

Lei Shisan, who was sitting in Jiaguo's chair not far away, encountered the same situation as Xun Li.

The literary talent was covered in dust.

Time passed slowly. When there was only a quarter of an hour left before the two hours were up, Fang Yun raised his left hand, put down the brush, and the last page of the test paper on the left desk flew forward.

Fang Yun held the brush in his right hand and continued to answer questions. There were still two test papers left on this table.

Not long after, Fang Yun finished answering the last two test papers.

A full two thousand silver test papers were suspended in front of him, emitting a much brighter light than before.

Suddenly, the two thousand test papers burst into a strong silver light, instantly sweeping across the entire Wendian, and then returned to normal.

"Who has finished answering?"

One person exclaimed, and everyone looked up and glanced, and a voice sounded in the sky.

"Jingguo student Fang Yun answered two thousand questions without any mistakes, and got twenty chips alone. Juren Fang Yun is very diligent. After the Jinshi exam, he can enter the Classics Academy and choose a great scholar's true text to listen to and study carefully."

Dozens of people took a breath together, and they took it twice in a row. The first time was an unprecedented twenty chips, and the second time was to listen to and study carefully.

The words or articles written casually by the great Confucian scholars are not called true articles. Only when the great Confucian scholars integrate their own understanding of the holy way into it and reach a certain level, and attract the vital energy of heaven and earth to inject it, can it be called the true articles of the great Confucian scholars.

An ordinary great Confucian scholar can only write two or three true articles in his lifetime, while the Wen Zong can write four or five articles. The semi-saint can generally only write about ten articles during the period of the great Confucian scholars. At present, the person who has written the most great Confucian true articles is the semi-saint sect Mo Ju of the Miscellaneous School, with a full fourteen articles.

The preciousness of the great Confucian true articles is unimaginable, and "intensive reading" and "reading" are also different.

Reading is to look at the words of the great Confucian true articles and understand them by yourself, but listening to the intensive reading is to enter the great Confucian true articles and listen to the great Confucian scholars explain the true articles in person with their power.

Each great Confucian true article can only have a maximum of three opportunities for listening to the intensive reading. Once the three times are used up, the original intention in the great Confucian true article will dissipate and turn into an ordinary great Confucian true article with power but no true meaning.

In the battle with the monsters, the great Confucian's true texts will be consumed, and the descendants of the great Confucian will try their best to get the opportunity to listen to the intensive reading of the Tao. Each time it is used, it will be one less, so there are not many great Confucian true texts that can listen to the Tao.

Even if it is a semi-saint family, it is impossible for all the disciples to listen to the intensive reading of the Tao. Only the geniuses or those who have made contributions to the family have the opportunity.

The expressions of the students present were different.

Fang Yun's enemies were unhappy and even faintly afraid. Fang Yun's great trend has been formed faintly. Every time he becomes famous and makes contributions, he will definitely get great benefits. Once he becomes a Jinshi, he will soar into the sky, and people of the same age will be left far behind him, and will be left farther and farther behind.

The others nodded and smiled. There has never been a reward in the third round of the Ten Countries Competition. This time it is obvious that the semi-saint has come out to give Fang Yun an extra reward. If Fang Yun can listen to the intensive reading of the Tao during the Jinshi period, it will be of great help to lay the foundation for the direction of the holy way early.

Fang Yun was delighted after hearing this. This kind of great Confucian text is either firmly held by the descendants of the great Confucian or sealed in the Holy Academy, and it is extremely difficult to obtain.

Even if Fang Yun has collected the fragments of "Peach Blossom Spring" in his hand, he cannot listen to the teachings and read them carefully, because one of the fragments has been contaminated by the blood of the demon saint.

An opportunity to listen to the teachings and read carefully can give a person the opportunity to become a great Confucian, even if the opportunity is very small, it is precious. Therefore, the value of this kind of great Confucian text is extremely high. Unless Fang Yun uses a treasure to exchange it, even the semi-saint family will not let him listen to the teachings and read carefully.

The Lei family's Dragon Ascension Stone can be exchanged for ordinary great Confucian texts, but it can never be exchanged for great Confucian texts that can be listened to and read carefully.

Just listening to the teachings and reading carefully is not enough to make Fang Yun happy. What's more important is that Fang Yun can choose any one in the Holy Academy, which is crucial.

While Fang Yun was rejoicing, Xun Li, Lei Shisan and others were filled with grief and anger. The first two were seduced by Fang Yun into uttering arrogant words in front of billions of human beings. Now they can no longer take it back. Once Jing Guo wins and enters the front Eight, the results would be disastrous.

If a person's literary name is tarnished, it is usually within the scope of one state, or at most one country. However, there are too few who are notorious in ten countries. But now the two of them are likely to become the laughing stock of the entire human race, and their literary names will all be transformed into Infamous, unless luck is reversed, the two of them will never be able to turn over.

Xun Li's hand shook heavily and he made another mistake. He had to cross it out and rewrite it. However, his heart was already occupied by fear and panic. He was afraid that Qing would lose the competition. After all, Fang was lucky enough to win. It is equivalent to Jingguo having two people get ten chips in Wan Ti Hai, which is really too much.

After a long time, Xun Li finished answering this question, and then looked at the Yinguang test paper in front of everyone in Jingguo, and then looked at the Yinguang test paper in front of everyone in Qingguo, and was stunned.

"How could this be! Who stole my test paper!" Xun Li suddenly shouted.

Fang Yun felt strange. He and others looked at the test papers of Xun Li and Qingguo people, and couldn't help but be startled.

As a former Holy Examiner, Fang Yun's eyesight was not weaker than that of ordinary Jinshi. He could tell at a glance that Xunli's test paper was only ranked sixth among the ten stacks of silver test papers in Qing Dynasty!

The number of chips in You Wan Ti Hai is completely determined based on the number of Yin Guang test papers.

Fang Yun looked at the test papers of his Jingguo students again. The test papers of Qiao Juze and Chen Lile were actually higher than Xun Li's! Although there were only a few more test papers, it was unbelievable. Logically speaking, Xun Li should have at least a hundred more test papers than the two of them!

Soon, other Jinshi also discovered this strange phenomenon.

Qiao Juze and other Jingguo students couldn't help but laugh. Who would have thought that Xun Li, who was originally second only to Yan Yukong, would end up like this.

Cui Wang chuckled and said, "I feel so happy when I think of someone talking nonsense before!"

The other Jingguo students laughed and said nothing. They were all older than Cui Wang and were not suitable to say such things in front of billions of people.

A student from Qingguo exclaimed: "Brother Xun, why do you have fewer silver test papers than me? This is impossible! I know my level is absolutely impossible to surpass yours! There must have been an accident, and it must be investigated strictly !”

Yan Yukong sighed softly, put down his pen and continued to answer the questions. While writing, he said: "There is no need to check. Xun Li's literary courage was covered with dust and he went astray. It is a pity."

The competition site was deathly silent. Many students didn't even answer the questions and just stared at Xun Li, wanting to know the results.

Xun Li's hands started to tremble, he put down the brush tremblingly, and entered the Wen Palace in disbelief.

"Click..."

A moment later, a slight crackling sound of the literary bladder echoed in the Wen Palace, echoing in the ears of billions of humans.

After this third competition, there is the final tally of chips, which determines the final results of the Ten-Nation Competition, and also determines the number of admissions for each country's imperial examination next year. Therefore, the number of people in front of the liberal arts colleges in various places today increased several times, and many people from outside the city I will also go into the city to watch the light curtain.

"Cough cough cough..." Xun Li suddenly coughed desperately as if he was choking on water. Then he sat in a chair in a daze and stopped answering the questions. He looked ahead silently with dull eyes.

The Qingguo people on the side hurriedly advised: "Brother Xun, don't give up. We still have a chance before the final result is announced! Your literary courage is only cracked, not broken. As long as you are firm in your heart, you can avoid the broken literary courage!" If you participate in the competition for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, even if you are wrong in speaking nonsense, your literary courage will not be ruined!"

Kong Deyu snorted coldly and said: "Don't deceive yourself or others. Whether Xun Li was serving the country and the people or for his own selfish desires, you and I both know. If he really suppressed Jingguo for Qingguo, his literary courage would never crack. His mistake was that he not only wanted to suppress Jingguo, but also tried to ruin Fang Yun's literary reputation. It was ridiculous that he could ruin Fang Yun's literary reputation, let alone ten people in a country. Even if there are ten thousand people and millions of people, they can't destroy Fang Yun's literary name! Do you really think that Fang Yun is afraid of losing? Even if he loses, billions of us will still recognize his literary name! The black and white words on "The Holy Way" are Fang Yun's literary name! The articles in the temples, the three rainbow guides, the holy pen commentaries, etc. are Fang Yun's literary name!"

There were cheers and thunderous cheers in front of the light curtain in the liberal arts academies from all over the ten countries.

Some people finally understood that Fang Yun had been completely recognized by hundreds of millions of people, and that attacking his literary reputation, framing him, and spreading rumors to cause trouble could no longer do anything to Fang Yun.

No one from Qingguo could refute and could only continue to answer questions silently.

Suddenly, Cui Wang said: "Look, there are not many silver test papers in front of Lei Shisan."

Everyone looked and found that what Cui Wang said was absolutely correct.

"Looks like another literary daredevil has fallen into the dust." A Yue countryman who was at odds with the Lei family sneered.

Lei Shisan was stunned and hurriedly entered the Wen Palace, and then there was a cracking sound in his head.

Many people shook their heads and continued to answer questions.

"Now their literary courage is cracking. Once Jingguo wins in the end, their literary courage will definitely be shattered." One person sighed.
