The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 72 Encountering a Monster

After County Magistrate He finished telling what happened, everyone began to eat.

No one drank. After eating, the three gentlemen each obtained three "official seals with red letters" from Magistrate He. If they encountered danger within Mi County, they could tear the red letters with official seals. Magistrate He would then get Warning, come to the rescue.

If someone tears two pieces in a row, the county will report it directly to the prefect. If someone tears three pieces in a row, it will be reported to the prefectural pastor immediately.

The county sent three young children who were familiar with the local environment to serve as guides for the three classes.

After bidding farewell to the county magistrate and others, the seven cars headed to the place where monsters had appeared recently.

Lujia Town is the intersection of three rivers in Mi County. The widest part of the river here can reach up to ten feet, and the deepest point can reach up to two feet. Water demons attack humans from time to time. Moreover, Lujia Town is backed by mountains and forests. The monsters are like leeks, and they are cut off again and again, but they cannot be killed no matter what.

When they arrived at Lujia Town, the third class carriage did not stop immediately, but instead passed through the town. Mr. Yu from the third class was sitting in the car, holding the cultural treasure "Monster Detection Tiger Head Paperweight" to detect monsters. In the end, no monsters were detected. , returned safely.

Everyone found the mayor, the guide took out the documents from the county, and the three gentlemen took out the documents from the state liberal arts college. Then they found a compound in the town to stay and started the final preparations. Everyone rested for an afternoon and then set off at night. , because many monsters hide during the day and emerge at night.

Everyone rested for a while. The mayor brought three children here to visit. One was an old boy who was teaching in the town, and the other two were young boys. They were going to take the scholar examination in Dayuan Prefecture this year. It was not easy to see Zhou Wen. The talented people from the hospital came and naturally wanted to pay a visit.

The mayor helped introduce them one by one.

"This is Mr. Yang, who teaches elementary school in the town. He is kind and mature. All the children in our town are his students."

"This is Guo Yongzhi. He is only twenty-two years old. He has great hope of becoming a scholar."

"This is my nephew An Chengcai, who is five years older than Guo Yongzhi. If he fails to pass the scholar exam in three years, he will not take the exam. An Anxin will take over Mr. Yang's elementary education. Don't look at his dull appearance. Back then, he was determined not to be a scholar. The scholar who passed the exam vowed not to marry, but he saved a woman who was kidnapped seven days ago, and they got married five days ago. My nephew-in-law is so beautiful, brat, he was disappointed in the exam, but he was happy in love!" He patted An Chengcai on the shoulder.

An Chengcai appears to be a talented person, but he is a bit introverted. He smiles shyly but cannot hide his inner pride.

The old boy didn't care about fame and position, he was quite decent. The two young boys were very respectful, especially when they learned that Fang Yun was among them, they were even more excited.

A group of students had nothing to do, so they talked to two boys about how to take the scholar test. Fang Yun, who was also a boy himself, listened carefully.

Nunu looked at An Chengcai curiously, occasionally sniffing gently with his nose, looking puzzled, but he soon didn't care and fell asleep in Fang Yun's arms.

As evening approaches, everyone takes a nap for an hour, then gets up to eat and get ready.

Scholars are different from ordinary soldiers. They all wear a "pancoat", which is usually put away to cover the upper body. If you need to write poems, you will put it down to form a tray in front of you, which can be used as a desktop for writing.

Although Fang Yun is not a scholar, Mr. Wang also prepared a set of plain clothes for Fang Yun to wear in order for him to get used to it in the future.

Before leaving, Fang Yunshen entered the Wen Palace and found that his talent had not changed much, but the whirlpool of Wen Dan was spinning faster, and there was a slight sign of condensed Wen Dan. It seemed that it would take at least a month to form Wen Dan.

"I hope I will have become a scholar by then, otherwise the Tongsheng Literary Palace will not be able to accommodate literary talents."

As night falls, the team sets off.

According to past practice, the students in the three classes must be separated, but because of the appearance of the handsome man, the liberal arts college stipulated that the three classes cannot be far apart, and everyone in each class must see the other two classes.

In the quiet night, the group left the town and walked towards Yangshui River.

These human beings, who have the lowest humanistic status, are still children. Even if it is dark at night, it is no different to them than during the day.

After walking for half an hour accompanied by the chirping of insects, everyone saw the Yangshui River lying in front of them like a strip of white silk.

"Be prepared!"

Mr. Yu gave an order and everyone made final preparations.

The five scholars in the first class immediately put down the hard boards on their chests and formed a tray on their abdomens with white paper on them. Then they took out their ink bottles and brushes, ready to write at any time.

Although Fang Yun couldn't talk on paper, he still followed it, purely for practice.

There are fifteen soldiers in front of a group, five sword and shield soldiers, five spearmen and five archers. All their weapons and shields are the most sophisticated. Even the shields are demon turtle shields. Even a single blow from the demon general will be enough. Can't be crushed.

The three gentlemen took out the monster-detecting paperweight together. The poem in this treasure is the "Monster-hunting Poem" written by the great Confucian scholar Qian Bao, the author of "Sou Shen Ji". It can detect all monsters within a radius of one mile, except for a very small number. Monsters can be avoided.

The three teams moved slowly along the river, searching for monsters.

Fang Yun carefully observed his surroundings, his heartbeat was slightly faster, and he was more energetic than usual, because this was his first time to kill monsters, and even if he couldn't go into battle in person, it would still be nice to meet the monsters.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, nothing was found. Several people were a little relaxed and were warned by Mr. Wang.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and still nothing.

Fang Yun was a little disappointed. Lu Yu whispered: "This is a common thing. Last time we killed the demon, we only saw it on the third night. If there is nothing by the river, just go to the forest. Don't be in a hurry."

Fang Yun nodded.

Another hour passed and nothing was found. Even Mr. Wang relaxed his vigilance.

Suddenly, Nunu pointed to the grass about three feet away in front of him and screamed softly.

Everyone became nervous immediately. Mr. Wang shouted to warn the other two classes, and then looked at Nunu.

Nunu didn't care about Mr. Wang at all and just pointed it out to Fang Yun.

Fang Yun said: "Sir, let's go there and take a look. Nunu may have discovered something."

Mr. Wang has seen many spiritual beasts and demon attendants, and he has no doubts at all, and said: "Yun Cong, take five people there to see what's there."

"Yes!" Two sword and shield soldiers, two spearmen and an archer immediately protected Li Yuncong as he walked there, while Mr. Wang held a mountain-shaped cultural treasure penholder in his hand, ready to take action at any time.

Li Yuncong returned quickly, holding a palm-sized scale in his hand, and said in surprise: "Sir, this is a scale of a fish demon. I looked carefully at the traces there. It seems that several fish demons passed by here and went north. ”

"Gather everyone, I'll go take a look." Mr. Wang immediately walked over quickly, carefully checked the traces of the fish demon, and made the same judgment as Li Yuncong.

People from the three classes gathered together. As usual, the three gentlemen said nothing. The three men only assisted the scholars in their training. If these students were not in danger, they would not take action.

The scholars in the three classes unanimously decided to chase the monster to prevent it from harming people.

So everyone started running forward.

After running a few steps, Fang Yun whispered: "Nunu, come into my hands."

Nunu immediately crawled along Fang Yun's right arm to Fang Yun's hand like a little squirrel, looking at Fang Yun doubtfully, as if asking what happened.

Fang Yun asked as he ran, "How long has that fish scale been there?"

Nunu immediately frowned in thought and stretched out her fleshy right paw.

"Five hours?"

Nunu shook his head.

"Five hours?"

Nunu still shook his head.

"Five quarters?"

Nunu still shook his head.

Fang Yun was stunned for a while, and suddenly asked seriously: "Nunu, don't tell me you can't count!"

"Hey!" Nunu was angry, as if saying that you don't know how to count.

"How long exactly? Five days?"

Nunu shook her head, stretched out her paws firmly, and there was a little bit of pride in her eyes, as if to say that you clearly don’t know how to count!

Fang Yun looked at Nunu's claws carefully, and finally realized that its claws were not like human hands that could be retracted, and there were five of them when stretched out.

Fang Yun rolled his eyes at Nunu, stretched out his left hand, curled his thumb, and asked, "Is it four?"

Nunu shook his head.

"Is it three?"

Nunu nodded hurriedly, and then made a gesture of wiping sweat with her little paws, as if to say that you finally guessed it right, so tired!

"About three-quarters of an hour ago?"

"Hey!" Nunu nodded with a smile.

"How many monsters are there?"

Nunu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then raised her two paws.

Fang Yun couldn't help but smile. He started guessing from six, and nodded when he guessed eight.

"Can you tell if it's a demon soldier or a demon general?"

Nunu shook her head and nodded again.

Lu Yu and Ning Zhiyuan, who had been watching, suddenly had a headache. It was too difficult to communicate with the spirit, and they couldn't understand it at all.

Fang Yun thought about it carefully and asked, "You can tell the difference between demon generals, but you can't tell the difference between demon soldiers or demon people?"

Nunu nodded happily.

"Are there any demon generals here?"

Nunu hesitated to recall, then shook his head no.

Fang Yun immediately said to everyone: "Three-quarters of an hour ago, eight monsters passed by here. It's unclear how many were monster soldiers and how many were monster civilians."

Everyone looked at Fang Yun and Nunu with gratitude. This information was so important that the fifteen scholars ran around and discussed it while the three candidates did not interrupt.

After a while, Nunu suddenly stretched out his claws and grabbed Fang Yun's clothes, and shouted twice seriously.

Everyone immediately looked at Fang Yun.

"Are you very close to the monster?" Fang Yun asked.

Nunu nodded.

Everyone looked at the three gentlemen holding demon-detecting paperweights, and the three gentlemen shook their heads together.

After running for a while, everyone saw eight monsters in front of them. The eight figures were very clear in the moonlight.

Ma Yuan, the scholar of Class Three, acted as the temporary commander and said: "We found a monster! Slow down and make final preparations."

Everyone slowed down and prepared for battle.

The eight monsters also quickly noticed them and rushed towards them, shouting together.

Ma Yuan continued to command, with swords, shields and spearmen protecting everyone, with the scholar at the back and all the archers at the end, and asked Fang Yun, the three boy guides and the archers to stand together.

The eight-headed fish demon rushed over quickly.

The solemn and tense atmosphere was like an invisible cover holding everyone, and Fang Yun even had difficulty breathing.

The eight fish demons ran for a while, and Ma Yuan issued an order.

"They are three-headed demon soldiers and five-headed demon people. They are all ordinary fish demons. Don't be afraid!"

"I wrote "Ode to Xingtian", Luo Tianqi wrote "Together with the Son", and the others waited for them to get closer and decided when to write "Yishui Song" according to their own writing speed to attack! Each of the three classes attacked a demon soldier, every three An archer shoots a monster."

Fang Yun raised his head and glanced at the sky. The Wenqu star was particularly bright tonight.
