The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

The young scholars present were dumbfounded. Yuhai City was an important place for the military and the Holy Academy. News spread very quickly. They already knew what Fang Yun said.

Even if you don't talk about the credit, just talking about Fang Yun's courage is enough to make them feel inferior. No one present can do what Fang Yun did.

Pang Juren of Xingdian, who had been following Fang Yun at a distance, nodded slightly. He knew that Fang Yun did not mention the real great merit. Although he didn't know what great achievements Fang Yun had made, he could guess that it was a major event related to the fate of the human race. Otherwise, Li Wenying wouldn't have gone to the Holy Court overnight to see the Half-Saint in the past few days, and then the Half-Saint personally issued a hush-hush order.

Even though Fang Yun was very angry, he did not mention the contribution of the strong soldier poem "Capture the King" and the scholar's war poem "Arrow in the Stone". Except for those who saw it with their own eyes that day, less than four people in the world knew that these two poems were What he did was that he would have to wait at least a month before he would tell the world to pretend that others had done it and let people go to temples in various places to study.

Fang Yun continued: "If you can persuade me nicely, I will shamelessly go to Mr. Li and ask him to escort me to Dayuan Mansion for the exam on the first day of June, and then return to Yuhai after climbing Shushan. But why don't you give me Why did you slander me when you gave me a chance to speak?”

No one could refute, and many people even vaguely understood that they were too eager to go to Shushan, and were used as pens by Tong Li and others.

"If I really came here for my place in Shushan, you can scold me all you want, but I won't say a word! But I was forced to come here by the demon clan because of my merits in killing demons. It's fine for you, who are also from the human race, not to help me, even if I look on coldly. I won't say anything, but Why do you want to add insult to injury? You just think that I am not the son of a wealthy family or a high-ranking official, and I am easy to bully because I am the son of a prefect! "

Many people feel ashamed.

Fang Yun said: "You don't have to believe me, Fang Yun, but ask yourselves, could Mr. Li Wenying bend the law for my own personal gain? If Feng Chengjie, one of the four great talents and the leader of the reverse literati, had not wanted to kill me, Li Wenying would have killed me. Why would you send me to Yuhai City for protection?"

Everyone was moved, Fengcheng was full of evil, countless people hated him, and the attitudes of those who were originally disgusted with Fang Yun immediately changed.

Yi Tongsheng handed over to Fang Yun and said: "Brother Fang taught you this. Before the conflict between the human race and the demon clan, even the feuding families can join forces. It is too much for us to care about these trivial facts. We should condemn the murderous demon clan , instead of being hunted by the demon clan. I will try my best to clarify this matter to my classmates and clear your name. I feel guilty and will not participate in this year's examination. I will say goodbye. "

"Oh, you're right. If we, the human race, destroy this genius who can't even be destroyed by the demon clan, how will we be able to see anyone in the future! Please apologize, Xiaosheng!"

"I acted out of selfish motives and accidentally hurt Brother Fang. I hope you can forgive me!"

Most of the people dispersed, but a few refused to leave. Tong Sheng, who had scolded Fang Yun from the beginning, was embarrassed and annoyed, but he didn't dare to get angry at all. He waved his sleeves vigorously and led the others away.

The clerk sighed softly and said: "Fang Yun, you know that I am the person next to Mr. Li. You must bear it. Tong Li is used to lawlessness in Yuhai City because of his prominent family background. I'm afraid they I just want to provoke you deliberately and find an opportunity to force you to leave Yuhai City."

Fang Yun said: "How could I not know? They think that the talented people and the places in Shushan belong to them! If a wealthy family from the capital suddenly comes to Yuhai City to go to Shushan, will they dare to stop it? I have a literary name It’s less than three months old, and I’m from a poor family, so they think I’m guilty! If I bow my head, they’ll just think it’s all right and they won’t stop until I’m forced out of Yuhai City.”

The clerk was stunned for a moment and said: "You are right. Those who are highly virtuous or kind-hearted will be happy that the human race has great talents when they see your fame. But those who are full of male thieves and female prostitutes, those who think... Those who block their holy path will naturally hate you. Yesterday, I heard an official ridiculing those people. Even without your luck, those who hate you will not be able to touch the edge of the holy path. "

Fang Yun took a deep breath, with a firm gaze, and said: "I hope they will stop in moderation. If they bully others too much, don't blame me! I even dare to kill monsters, how can I be afraid of a few mad dogs!"

The clerk was startled, thinking that there was such a powerful evil spirit. Only those Juren who had fought against demon generals had such aura. Could it be that Fang Yun had also fought against demon generals?

Fang Yun vaguely felt that there was a sense of pride in his heart that he had never had before, which reminded him of the scene where Li Wenying killed the Lord of Dayuanfu with his sword and slaughtered tens of thousands of monsters on the Yangtze River.

The literary courage in the palace shone slightly.

The secretary said: "That's right. The path of most saints is to kill monsters, barbarians, enemy countries, and enemies. Let's go."

Fang Yun followed the book office to finish processing the student registration, and then went to apply for the government examination on the first day of June. However, there were too many people applying for the government examination, so he waited until noon to finish.

Ji County, Fang Yun's hometown, has a population of 90,000 and admits 50 children a year. Yuhai Prefecture has a total of nine counties and has a population of more than 3 million. There are nearly 2,000 children a year alone.

Every year for the government examination, tens of thousands of children come to Yuhai City to take the exam, but only about fifty are admitted each year. Even if the quota is increased to 100 this year due to the number of Wenqu and Wudong, only three or four out of 100 will be selected. Competition is fierce.

Fang Yun glanced at the people queuing up with dry food behind him, and left the Academy to return home.

Fang Yun's status at this moment was unusual. Many wealthy businessmen, famous families or officials in Yuhai City sent invitations, as well as a large number of invitations to pay their respects, but Fang Yun refused them all and settled down to study at home.

As before, he still sleeps only two hours a day.

After experiencing the Thunderous Holy Sound, the Five Movements of Wenqu and three times of talent falling from heaven, Fang Yun is stronger than ordinary scholars in terms of literary palace and body, and is not even weaker than ordinary scholars, because ordinary candidates only have three times of talent falling from heaven.

Coupled with the nourishment of Dragon Palace Blood Ginseng, he was still full of energy even if he only slept for two hours a day.

Fang Yun did not go to the liberal arts college, but he wrote a scripture every morning, noon and evening, and asked his neighbor Pang Juren to rate it.

On the fifth day of May, Fang Yun, holding Li Wenying's invitation, took Yang Yuhuan and Nunu to the bank of the Yudai River to watch the dragon boat race. In addition to Pang Juren's family, there was also another neighbor Lai Pianjiang's family.

Everyone went chatting and laughing, and arrived at the Yudai River at around eight o'clock in the morning.

Fang Yun looked around and saw the clear Yudai River running through the city, separating the main city and the north sub-city. The name of the Yudai River is not grand, but it is very wide. The widest point is two hundred feet long, and there is even a small sandbar in the river at the widest point.

On both sides of the river bank are rows of verdant willow trees, with willow branches hanging down, which is particularly pleasant.

At this moment, the streets are bustling with people, with literati, young children, beautiful girls, charming young women and other people coming and going, all smiling and enjoying the festive atmosphere.

There are endless sounds of selling rice dumplings, sachets, mugwort and calamus, and there are also acrobats, making it extremely lively.

Nunu was so excited that she looked around, curious about everything.

Fang Yun looked at the sandbar in the river. There were already many people on it, as well as some dragon boats.

General Lai Pian on the side introduced: "Zhuzhu is the starting point for the annual dragon boat race, and the end point is the famous Jinghai Tower. The owner of that building is related to Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng was there before he was canonized. The inscription in that building is, Jinghai Tower was named after Chen Sheng, so it grew bigger and bigger. There is a building facing each other in the north and south of the river, which is the number one restaurant in Yuhai City. There is a dragon head bridge outside Jinghai Tower. There is a dragon head on the bridge with brocade hanging from the dragon's mouth. Whoever gets there first will start the dragon boat race. The brocade flag is the winning side. You can see it if you look over there."

Fang Yun nodded, took out the invitation given to him by Li Wenying, and said, "What kind of place is this? Thank you for taking me there."

General Lai Pian took a look and said with a smile: "As expected of a scholar before the Holy Emperor. Jinghai Tower is the end point, and the Yuhe Tower where this invitation is located is directly opposite Zhouzhu. It is the starting point of the annual dragon boat race. Those who can get the invitation are not "More. Come on, let me take advantage of you and go see it together."

The three families went to Yuhe Tower together. Fang Yun was afraid that Yang Yuhuan would be separated, so he held her hand.

Although this kind of action was not outrageous in this era, it was not considered polite either. Yang Yuhuan struggled shyly for a few times, and finally let Fang Yun hold her hand and walk forward.

Under the leadership of General Lai, everyone came to the door of Yuhe Tower and found that this place was different from other restaurants. There were many big men standing at the door.

However, Fang Yun and others could see that these big men were all children, and they were obviously members of the army. They were all practitioners, with extremely strong close combat abilities, and they all had the ability to fight monster soldiers alone.

General Lai Pian said in a low voice: "This year's dragon boat race is a bit weird. We haven't been so careful in the past. It must be a big shot coming. I don't know if it's from our Jingguo or from the Qingguo over there."

Fang Yun walked to the door and handed the invitation to a guard guarding the door. When the guard saw that Fang Yun had brought so many people, he said, "You can go in, but please don't bother others to go upstairs."

General Lai Pian immediately smiled and said: "I serve in the army and I understand these rules."

The guard nodded and let everyone in.

After walking a few steps away from the man, Lai Pianjiang whispered to him, "It's a Beijing accent."

Fang Yun understood it, and Lai Pian thought this was saying that there might be a big shot in the capital here.

Yuhe Tower is extremely spacious. There are many people chatting and listening to music on the first floor. The door behind the first floor is open. Outside the door is a garden, and behind the garden is the Yudai River. Fang Yun saw the green wicker at a glance, and he could see through the wicker. The sandbar in the Yudai River is what Lai Pianjiang calls Zhouzhu.

General Lai Pian said: "You go to the second floor. You can see clearly from above. We can just watch from downstairs."

Fang Yun looked at Pang Juren, who nodded seemingly casually. Fang Yun felt relieved and took Yang Yuhuan's hand and walked towards the second floor.

Along the way, many people secretly looked at Yang Yuhuan. Whether they were handsome young men or passionate scholars, even the singer who was playing the piano was lost in thought because of looking at Yang Yuhuan.
