The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Fang Yun vaguely understood what Fang Shouye was going to say.

Fang Shouye said: "He is well-informed in Yuhai City. After learning that your academic status will be transferred to Yuhai Mansion today, he immediately went to his grandfather's friend General Gan Luoxing to criticize you for being despicable and shameless, saying that you are afraid of being in Dayuan Mansion." If you don't get into the top ten scholars, come to Yuhai Mansion to compete for the top ten."

"this……"

"What Tong Li is afraid of is not that you will take the exam, but that you will take away his reputation as a talented person. However, he is not the only one making trouble, many students with backgrounds are also accusing you. You must know that there is only one Only those who are in the top ten can go to Shushan. If you occupy a place, then the person who was in the top ten will definitely not be able to go to Shushan, which will be a huge loss. Therefore, people everywhere today say that you are afraid that you will not be able to enter Shushan in Dayuan Mansion. , we can only come to Yuhai City to compete for the top ten."

Fang Yun knew the importance of Maocai and Shushan. Not to mention that he was just a genius from a poor family, even those from aristocratic families would do their best to get a place in Shushan.

Fang Yun sighed helplessly and said: "I didn't want to come at that time, but there was no way. Mr. Wang and Master Zhou asked Master Li Wenying for instructions, and it was Master Li who finally made the decision. I originally wanted to finish the imperial examination first Try again.”

"You are right about this. You can only blame the reverse literati and the demon clan! Don't worry, as long as I am here, no one will dare to harm you like Liu Zicheng did. However, you can't be embarrassed yourself. If he is wise, If Gundi competes with you, you can't lose," Fang Shouye said.

"Hey, we are all scholars, he won't deliberately suppress me because of this matter, right?" Fang Yun said helplessly.

Fang Shouye smiled coldly and said, "You think too well of people. I suspect that they will join forces to force you to give up taking the imperial examination."

Fang Yun was anxious and said: "Why? I was assassinated by a reverse scholar because of killing demons. Not only for the human race, but at least I was forced to come here because I did something righteous. Why can't I participate in the imperial examination? If they If you can give me an excuse, who will dare to kill demons in the future?”

Fang Shouye showed a slightly strange look and said: "According to our military's intelligence analysis, your identity as a former scholar was not exposed originally. The people at Jingcheng Peak want to kill you, so there is no secret."

"How could this happen? Since the reverse literati didn't know my identity as a scholar before the Holy Saint, why did they send so many people to kill me? That's equivalent to five Jinshi and dozens of Juren. Even the army of a prefecture is no match for them. , How on earth did I offend them?"

Fang Shouye said helplessly: "Actually, you were harmed by the saint."

"Ah? Is there a saint who wants to harm me?" Fang Yun was even more confused.

"No. You still remember that your "Inscription on the Humble Room" was published in yesterday's "Holy Way", right?"

"Remember." Fang Yun was confused.

"Recently, the activities of the demon tribe have been quite frequent. There are varying degrees of demon disasters in various parts of the ten countries, and the reverse literati have contributed a lot. The saint wants to give the demon tribe and the reverse literati a hard time to prevent them from acting rashly. Your "Humble Chamber Inscription" is just right. It is a refining bile text, suitable for additional attacks and reverse species bile text. The power of the palace, so the saints mobilized the talents of holy temples from various places and sent them to the "Humble Chamber Inscription" of "Holy Way". It is of great benefit for us ordinary literati to read the "Humble Chamber Inscription", and it is of great benefit for us ordinary literati to read the "Humble Chamber Inscription" that has been changed by the saint. "The Inscription on the Humble Room" will inevitably trigger hidden power."

Fang Shouye took a sip of water and continued: "You can guess what happened next. The reverse literati were in bad luck. They couldn't kill the saint, so they came to kill you. Unfortunately, we didn't know it at the time. We just thought it was you before the saint. The identity of the scholar has been revealed. After killing them, you did not hide your identity as the scholar before the saint. As a result, it is too late now, and the demon clan wants to kill you. "

"Am I taking a big blame?" Fang Yun asked in a deep voice.

"That's probably it. However, your "Humble Room Inscription" has made great contributions to the human race after all. Even if something happens this time, the saint will see it and help you." Fang Shouye said.

"What if I'm really harmed by them and can't take the imperial examination?"

Fang Shouye immediately said: "If they use despicable means to harm you, I guarantee that they will never take part in the imperial examination in their lifetime! Not to mention that Tong Li's grandfather is the Minister of the Ministry of War, even if he is the Minister of the Ministry of War, our Fang family is not afraid! However, if they take advantage of If I try to stop you by legitimate means, then I won’t do anything. Since you are already a scholar before the Holy Spirit, you are more likely to be in the top ten next year, so why do you have to take the government examination this year?”

"One step is slow, each step is slow. The Zuo Prime Minister and the Liu family are staring at me, and those reverse literati will be staring at me. If I can't pass the examination as a scholar this year, climb the mountain of books, and don't try my best to enhance my talent and strength, If there is an emergency, you will definitely die. Uncle, tell me the truth, is this Yuhai City absolutely safe?"

Fang Shouye was stunned, and after a moment of silence, he said: "If the demon world and the reverse literati kill you at all costs, and the demon saint takes action, no one can stop you. But don't worry, you won't make them pay such a heavy price." The price is to kill you. If the Demon Saint takes action to kill you, we, the Saints of the Ten Kingdoms, would dare to move the Holy Court into the Demon Realm and make the Demon Realm uneasy! Therefore, you are absolutely safe in Jade Sea City."

Fang Yun was irritated in his heart and said: "Those reverse literati are really disgusting. Even without my "Inscription on the Humble Room", the saint would have other ways to hurt them. Tong Li and others are equally disgusting. They know clearly that it is the foreign enemy monster clan that persecutes me, but they still Do To put it bluntly, "The Inscription on the Humble Room" has hurt so many literati of the opposite species. Even if I have great merits, let alone come to Yuhai City to take the exam, the saint will personally confer me the title of Maocai. You can bear it calmly!”

"Alas...some things are just so helpless. We are not afraid of Tong Li, but if they spread the word that you are here to snatch the position of Yuhai Mansion's scholar, the students of Yuhai Mansion will definitely exclude and isolate you."

Fang Yun pondered for a long time and did not speak.

"Alas, let's take it one step at a time. I will accompany you to the Mansion Academy tomorrow. I don't believe they dare to stop you in front of me!" Fang Shouye said.

Fang Yun said: "Don't bother uncle, they are willing to sit down and talk with me, everything can be discussed, even if I don't take the exam for the scholar this year. But if they want to force me, then they have chosen the wrong person! I, Fang Yun, am not a soft persimmon that they can squeeze at will!"

"Really don't need me to go?" Fang Shouye asked.

"Really don't need me to go! If I can't even solve this matter, how can I kill monsters and barbarians in the future?" Fang Yun said.

"Alright! If they are in the wrong, you can make a big fuss, and then involve Lord Li, and see how they end up! Even the hero who killed the monster dared to obstruct, what else can they not dare to do!" Fang Shouye said.

Fang Yun said helplessly: "I wanted to go to see the Dragon Boat Festival, but now I really don't want to go. By the way, where is the Dragon Boat Festival held?"

"There is a Yudai River between the North Sub-City and the Main City. Dragon boat races are held in the Yudai River every year. If you don't want to participate, just stand by the river and watch." Fang Shouye was not in a good mood either.

"Yeah."

The two continued to chat, and Fang Shouye slowly introduced the people's sentiments in Yuhai City, the relationships between the various factions, the situation of the dragon tribe and water monsters, etc., and it was more than ten o'clock in the evening before Fang Yun and Yang Yuhuan left.

Back home, Fang Yun was in a very bad mood, and kept practicing calligraphy to calm himself down. He wrote for an hour before calming down, and continued to study the classics of the saints, and then as usual, he wrote a sutra before going to bed.

At 8:00 a.m. the next day, a scholar clerk under Li Wenying came to take Fang Yun to confirm his school registration and then sign up for the prefectural examination next month.

Fang Yun followed the scholar clerk into the carriage and headed to the Academy of Literature.

They got off the carriage at the entrance of the Academy of Literature in Yuhai Prefecture, and the two entered the Academy and went to the Registration Office, which was responsible for handling student registration. Not long after, Fang Yun saw a big door with the words "Registration Office" written on the plaque above, but there were more than a dozen people standing in front of the door, including three scholars.

The scholar clerk looked sad, but walked in with gritted teeth.

"Wait! Clerk, what's the name of the person behind you?"

The clerk lowered his head and said nothing.

Fang Yun had already guessed the identities of these people. He bowed to them and smiled, "Are you from the Ministry of Justice or the Holy Court? If you want to check my identity, please show me your badge and I will answer truthfully."

"Dayuanfu accent! Are you Fang Yun?" Then a student stepped forward and glared at Fang Yun.

"It is Fang Yun from Ji County." Fang Yun said calmly.

The student said, "Despicable! I only thought you were an upright scholar, but who knew you were so despicable! In order to enter the Book Mountain, you did not hesitate to use your private power to transfer your school registration. I will never believe others again. You are a bully who robs and robs people!"

"We were really blind before!"

"Go back to your Dayuanfu, we don't welcome you in Yuhaifu!"

"Go back to Dayuanfu!"

Everyone shouted together, attracting people not far away to look here.

Fang Yun suppressed his anger and suddenly said loudly: "I have some things I don't understand, I hope you can give me some advice! I didn't come to Yuhai City on my own initiative, but Lord Li Wenying ordered me to come. If you question this order, why don't you go to Lord Li Wenying?"

"Who knows if you used despicable means!" said one person.

Fang Yun said: "Oh, it turns out that you don't know whether I used any means or not, and you don't even know why Lord Li Wenying transferred me to Yuhai City. So, you obviously have no evidence, but you are waving the banner of justice to slander me, the scholar in front of the saint, and slander Lord Li Wenying! You are the real despicable!"

Everyone was speechless for a while, especially a few timid people who were even scared when they heard the slander against Li Wenying.

Fang Yun stepped forward, looked directly at the student who scolded him first and said, "Since you think I am taking it by force, then you think that this position of scholar belongs to you? But this position of scholar does not belong to you, but depends on your ability, how can it be said to be taken by force?"

"Why did you suddenly change your status?"

Fang Yun said loudly, "Why? Because of "Humble House Inscription" that killed and injured hundreds of rebellious scholars! Because I was used as bait to kill two demon commanders, three Jinshi and a large number of others! Because I have made great contributions to the human race! As long as any of you has made greater contributions than me, I will immediately apologize and leave Yuhai Mansion! A group of people who failed to kill demons but just like to fight among themselves want to force me to leave? Dream on! I will definitely fight for the first scholar of Yuhai City!"
