The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Several other people knew that Li Yuncong was from a famous family in Jiangzhou and knew more than ordinary people. They ate quickly. After leaving the canteen, on the deserted road, Ning Zhiyuan said: "Yuncong, tell me quickly."

Li Yuncong said: "Actually, there is nothing strange about it. You all know that the Five Demon Mountains are connected to the demon world. There are many rare treasures there, and there are even elixirs that prolong life. Those who want to live longer will naturally follow them. It is said that there is something else about the reverse literati trade. I don't know the details. Fang Yun, Lu Yu is right, your literary status is not high now, but your potential for growth is terrible. Once you become a scholar, those reverse scholars will definitely find a way to deal with you. Juren, I'm afraid they will mobilize their troops against you."

Fang Yun said helplessly: "So there are so many troubles in being famous? From now on, I have to be very careful and don't leave the city if I can. If I have to leave the city, I must leave secretly and not let anyone know."

"That's good."

Ning Zhiyuan said: "Fang Yun, since you are young anyway, it is better to keep a low profile and take part in the imperial examination every two years. You will definitely win the Jinshi at the age of twenty-two."

Fang Yun was about to say that this idea was good, but he thought for a moment and said: "Have you forgotten what Mr. Wang said? Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. If I have the opportunity, I will work hard for it. After all, those reverse scholars are snakes and rats. If I I won’t be afraid of them if I’m a scholar and can talk on paper! I shouldn’t regard them as obstacles, but as my whetstones!”

"Well said! I'm not as good as you." Ning Zhiyuan praised.

"Oh, no wonder you are Fang Shuangjia! If I had had your knowledge back then, I would have been a successful candidate now." Tang Shanyue said.

"Will you die if you don't tell lies?" Lu Yu rolled his eyes at him.

Everyone laughed, and Fang Yun asked: "Since the five of you are among the top five in Dayuan Mansion, you must have entered Shushan. How many pavilions have you passed?"

Lu Yu sighed and said, "Except for Li Yuncong who went to the second pavilion, we didn't even go to the first pavilion."

"No way? Liu Zicheng said that he has arrived at the second pavilion."

"He must be bragging! There are more than 800 mansions in the ten countries. If 8,000 scholars go to Shushan at one time, half of them will be kicked down at the foot of the mountain. Not even a thousand people can pass the first pavilion. The scholars who pass the second pavilion There are at most three or five people in a year, and those who reach the second mountain are second only to the four great talents, Liu Zicheng."

"It turns out he was lying to me before. How many mountains and pavilions can the four great talents usually go to?" Fang Yun asked.

"You will definitely be able to reach the second mountain, and you will definitely be able to cross the third mountain when you lift a person, and pick up the literary heart. It can be said that if you can't pick up the literary heart when you lift people, you are not considered a genius at all."

Fang Yun kept these in mind. After all, he was from a poor family and knew too little about these things. He asked again: "Then you really don't remember what Shushan is? Do you feel anything?"

"I don't remember what happened inside at all. If you have feelings, it's difficult."

The other four people nodded in unison, which showed that although they could not remember what happened in Shushan, they were a little scared.

"Forget it, I won't ask anymore." Fang Yun said.

Li Yuncong said: "But I feel that you are not much worse than the four great talents, and you should be able to go to the second mountain, and perhaps become one of the four great talents of the next generation! It's a pity that you were not born into a wealthy family, otherwise I am sure that you will definitely He will be one of the four great talents of his generation.”

"Yes! To be honest, your poems are no worse than those of the four great talents, or even worse than the current poet."

"When you win the prize, you must win the title of Wenxin!"

"I try my best."

Everyone talked and laughed and returned to the classroom.

After school in the afternoon, the scholars from three classes gathered outside the gate. After seeing each other, sixteen people walked towards Xiyue Tower together.

Fifteen scholars and a boy together attracted the attention of many passers-by. Some parents with children pointed at these people and encouraged their children to become scholars when they grow up.

Although the people in the three classes were competitive, they were talking and laughing at this time.

Fang Yun observed secretly and felt relieved. There was no conflict among the people in each class. Although the three classes bickered and joked with each other, they also praised each other and did not even attack each other verbally.

A group of people entered Xiyue Tower. The first floor of Xiyue Tower was full of people. As soon as the sixteen people came in, the voices immediately became much quieter.

Several people knew each other and exchanged hands as a greeting.

The waiter came quickly, Chang Wanxu reported his name, and the waiter took everyone to the Tianzihao single room on the second floor.

Entering the room, Fang Yun looked around. There were books, paintings, orchids and incense, as well as the four treasures of the study. If one ignored the two dining tables, it would be a very elegant study.

Everyone sat down at two tables. As soon as they sat down, Lu Yu suddenly said arrogantly: "Since it is the gathering of the three classes, poetry and prose are indispensable. This time, you, the second and third classes, choose any topic, and we, the first class, will accompany you to the end. As for how? I won’t argue with you about rewards or punishments, you have the final say!”

Several people in the class immediately laughed and were full of confidence.

The two classes looked at each other.

"Today is to welcome Fang Yuncai. The main purpose is to show the harmony among the students in the state academy and others. If we have to compare, we will fall behind!"

"That makes sense! If Fang Yun wins first, then those of us who entertained him will lose face; if Fang Yun cannot win, then his face will not look good. Today we will only talk about romance, not poetry! You haven't been in the liberal arts college yet. Have you learned enough?”

"Yes, let's not talk about poetry and prose, but be harmonious! Be friendly! What did the teacher teach you!"

Lu Yu was dumbfounded. He had been holding it in all afternoon today, just waiting to use his luck at this party to avenge his past humiliation. Class 3 would compete in poems and essays every time they got together, and Class 1 only won once. Every time they lost, they were either forced to drink alcohol, or they were willing to admit defeat and do weird things to make a fool of themselves. It was extremely miserable.

Lu Yu said loudly: "No! It is a rule for the three classes to gather together to compare poems and essays. This rule cannot be broken!"

"Next time! You must follow this rule next time, but not this time!"

"This is not possible, Fang Yun, please say a few words!" Lu Yu looked at Fang Yun hurriedly.

The five students in Class 1 looked at Fang Yun eagerly.

Fang Yun said with a smile: "I just entered school today and I don't understand anything yet. It's up to you to decide what to say."

"Well said! This is the spirit of the leader of Shuangjia! I will go to Qushui River to kill monsters in a few days. If you want to go, just stay with me and I will protect you!" Chang Wanxu was extremely grateful to Fang Yun.

Lu Yu said: "Ah? How did you know that you were going to Qushui River in a few days?"

The people in Class 2 and Class 3 smiled and said nothing. Chang Wanxu explained: "A class of Juren went to Qushui River three days ago. They will definitely kill the demon general, and then disperse the demon soldiers and demon people to prepare for us." Leave some for us talented people to practice with."

"You are so well informed. What kind of monster came out of the Qushui River?" Ning Zhiyuan asked.

Fang Yun listened carefully. Apart from contacting Nunu, this was the first time he had a relationship with a monster since he came to this world.

"It is said that it was a water snake demon general who escaped from the Yangtze River into the Qushui River and killed everyone in a village overnight."

Everyone in the group changed their expressions, and Li Yuncong said: "The demon snake is in trouble. It is poisonous and is much harder to deal with than ordinary fish monsters."

"That's why we let the Juren class go. If it's an ordinary demon general, our third class of scholars can handle it. After all, an ordinary demon general is only equivalent to the Juren class."

"If we just chase down the lone demon soldiers and demon people, our three squads will have to compete to see which squad can kill the most demons. It's boring!" Lu Yu said.

Chang Wanxu said with a smile: "You have an extra fortune in your class. You may be able to win this time. Don't be discouraged." After saying this, he and a few people who like to play laughed together.

"He can't even talk on paper. No matter how high his literary talent is, it will be useless there. My husband won't take him there." Lu Yu said.

Chang Wanxu said seriously: "Fang Yun, you haven't seen the scene of killing monsters, have you?"

"No." Fang Yun said truthfully.

"Then I suggest you go with us. We will not only kill the fifteen scholars, but also the three judges from the three classes will follow and protect us, and each class can bring a total of fifteen soldiers. The demon generals and Most of the demon soldiers have been killed. There won't be much danger there. There are only sporadic demon soldiers and demon people. Everyone is safe. Although you can't just talk about it on paper, you can experience the demon killing in person. It will be of great benefit in the future.”

Fang Yun said with a smile: "Lu Yu also said at noon that he would stay in the city and not let me leave to avoid encountering the reverse literati. Now you are urging me to kill monsters with you. Who do you think I should listen to?"

"Reverse literati? You are thinking too much. How can there be so many reverse literati? What's more, each of the three gentlemen carries at least two cultural treasures. Even if there are reverse literati, they are not afraid."

"Who knows if Liu Zicheng will harm Fang Yun while killing demons." Ning Zhiyuan whispered.

Many people laughed, and Chang Wanxu said: "Liu Zicheng is bad, but he is not a fool. His current relationship with Fang Yun is just a personal grudge. If he destroys our demon peace, it will be a betrayal of the human race. Not to mention Liu Zicheng, even Liu Zicheng Liu Zizhi will be disqualified from participating in the imperial examination, and even the left prime minister will be besieged by the censors of the Control Council. "

"That's right." Ning Zhiyuan laughed sheepishly. After all, he was only seventeen years old and was far less experienced than others.

"What, Fang Yun, are you going or not?" Chang Wanxu asked.

Everyone looked at Fang Yun.

Fang Yun saw temptation and examination from these people.

In the original education of Shengyuan Continent, monsters and barbarians are the number one enemy of mankind, but killing monsters and barbarians can only be ranked second. The first is to embark on the holy path.

But with the end of the thousand-year non-war agreement, killing demons and barbarians has become as important as seeking the holy way. In the eyes of these passionate young people, killing monsters and barbarians is the holy way.

Fang Yun smiled slightly and said: "It is my duty to kill demons and savages. As a former saint, if I dare not even look at it, how can I write and talk about war and slay demons when I become a scholar? I will definitely I will see your heroic deeds in killing monsters.”

"It's not easy for you to become a holy boy. It's impossible to become a scholar in a few days. Then you will definitely kill the demon without success. So when we return in triumph, you want to write a poem, how about it?"

"Obligated!" Fang Yun readily agreed.
