The atmosphere of the entire Shengyuan Continent suddenly became solemn.
After Fang Yun returned to the Holy Temple, he found that the temple seemed to become lively in an instant. It was clearly not yet the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but the atmosphere of the New Year was gone.
The members of the War Hall who are in charge of human battles are the busiest and can be seen almost everywhere.
Fang Yun temporarily placed Yang Yuhuan and her family in Chongwenyuan because the large mansion in Kongcheng given to him by the Kong family was being renovated and it would take a few more days before they could move in.
Fang Yun originally wanted Yang Yuhuan to live in the Chongwen Courtyard of the Holy Academy. Students in Chongwen Courtyard can bring their families with them, but there are too few people in Chongwen Courtyard, and it is inconvenient for Yang Yuhuan to be trapped there all the time. After a few days, he will send her to the large mansion not far from Daofeng Mountain, the Jiwang Mansion in Kongcheng, which can also be used as the Fang family's other courtyard in the future.
After Fang Yun entered the Holy Academy, he immediately rushed to the War Hall and formally wrote a document to divide all the unused gifts received at the wedding into two parts. One part was donated to Liangjie Mountain to fight against the monsters, and the other part was sent to the Xuemang Realm for its construction. Moreover, all the gifts were in the name of the various families.
Not long after, the War Hall published a list of Fang Yun's donations on the literary list, ranking them according to the amount of donations from each family.
The Lei family was a prominent virtual saint family, with wealth exceeding that of ordinary semi-saint families. However, the gifts they sent were not as good as those of some wealthy families. They immediately became the target of ridicule by scholars from all over the world.
As for the Zong family, the Weng family, the Gu family and other families, although they had a deep hatred with Fang Yun, the gifts they sent were not bad.
In the past two days, the Lei family has become a frequent visitor to the discussion list, and countless scholars have ridiculed the Lei family and Lei Chongmo.
Although scholars had attacked the Lei family in the past, they had only attacked the Lei family to a certain extent. Now that the former head of the Lei family committed suicide out of fear of punishment, it was tantamount to admitting that the Lei family had murdered Fang Yun. Scholars from all over the human race were no longer polite and attacked the Lei family in various ways.
The reputation of the Lei family fell to its lowest point in history, but Fang Yun became the master of the Blood Mang and got married recently. He also donated all the gifts, and immediately became the object of praise among scholars, and his literary reputation was at its peak.
After settling Yang Yuhuan in Chongwenyuan, Fang Yun walked out.
Chongwenyuan is where students of Shengyuan study, but school officially starts after the first month of the lunar year.
Chongwen Academy has a more systematic way of education and learning. It is the highest institution of learning for the human race. Fang Yun has decided that after completing the Leaping Dragon Gate, he will completely calm down and take root in the Holy Academy. He will read the books of sages and explore his own holy path.
As for climbing the Mountain of Books three times, Fang Yun was not in a hurry. He could climb the Mountain of Books three times as long as he was promoted to Grand Secretary. Instead of entering now, it would be better to hone his skills for some more days. By then, the possibility of reaching the legendary ninth Mountain of Books would be greater.
Today, the demons attacked Liangjie Mountain, which was bad news. Yesterday, Fang Yun also received bad news. Fang Yun wanted to rest for a few days and wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to open the Yuelong Gate and enter directly, but after hearing the two pieces of bad news, he decided to start training himself today. He could no longer be idle.
The current head of the Lei family, Lei Chongmo, has already created the Jiaolong Wentai!
The reason why the assassination of Xu Sheng ended with Lei Ao, the previous patriarch, committing suicide, and no one else was held accountable, but only some normal punishments were carried out, was mainly because the patriarchs of the Zong family and other aristocratic families jointly wrote a letter.
Moreover, Lei Chongmo has handed over all his insights and experience in creating the Jiaolong Wentai, and is willing to cooperate with the Holy Academy to study the Jiaolong Wentai.
Some people believe that Jiaolong Wentai is unprecedented in the human race. And after testing, the killing ability is extremely amazing, no less than the strongest military strategist, and in places with water, it can even be called the first Wentai of the human race! Since Lei Chongmo can form Jiaolong Wentai, then the Lei family and other scholars must be able to condense Jiaolong Wentai. When the human race needs strength the most, the status of the Lei family has surpassed many semi-saint families!
Lei Chongmo even said that now that Wenquxing has descended, within a few years, those members of the Lei family who have dragon blood will surely be promoted to grand secretaries one after another, and after that they will most likely form a more powerful dragon literary platform to enhance the strength of the human race.
However, this matter has not been officially disclosed, so no one discussed it on the literary list.
Fang Yun had to admit that Jiaolong Wentai was indeed of great significance to the human race, no less important than a war poem handed down by a university scholar.
Yesterday, Fang Yun also heard some rumors. Some people said that the Lei family had once again been protected by Lei Zu, so their strength would gradually increase, and a semi-saint would inevitably appear, ranking among the semi-saint families.
It was because of hearing these two bad news that Fang Yun went straight to a holy place after arriving at the Holy Academy.
Just after leaving the gate of Chongwenyuan, Fang Yun received a letter from Yang Xuantong, Hanlin of Wu State.
After reading the letter, Fang Yun immediately contacted Kong Delun and Ao Huang, exchanged a large number of divine objects he had obtained from the ruins of Longcheng for two drops of the Great Sage's blood, then went back to Jingguo and returned to the Holy Academy.
After making such a big deal, Fang Yun acted as if he had just had a meal, nothing unusual happened, and continued on his way to the holy land.
Soon, Fang Yun arrived at the Valley of Sorrow, one of the famous holy places in the Holy Academy.
This holy place is very similar to the Hanlin Hall, it is just an ordinary hall guarded by two people from the East Saint Pavilion.
When the two gatekeepers of the Zong family saw Fang Yun coming, they immediately bowed and greeted him without saying a word.
Fang Yun stepped into the hall, and then the world spun around him. In a blink of an eye, Fang Yun found himself in a valley.
There are two mountain peaks on both sides. The end of the valley is a hundred feet ahead, but you can't see what's at the end.
On the left peak, there is a short article engraved.
Shun was born in the fields, Fu Yue was raised among the bricklayers, Jiao Ge was raised among the fishermen and salt merchants, Guan Yiwu was raised among the scholars, Sun Shuao was raised at sea, and Baili Xi was raised in the market.
Therefore, when Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on a man, it will first test his mind and will, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body, and deprive him of all deprivation, and make his plans frustrated. This is to stimulate his heart and harden his nature, so as to increase his ability to do what he could not do before.
People always make mistakes before they can correct them; they are trapped in their hearts, weighed in their thoughts, and then they act; they are expressed in their faces and voices, and then they are understood. If there is no law at home and no people to oppose, and no enemies abroad and no external troubles, the country will always perish.
Then I realized that life comes from sorrow and death comes from comfort.
Fang Yun bowed respectfully to the words.
After Mencius became the second sage, he created a "Valley of Sorrow" in his own literary world based on the core idea of "Born in sorrow, die in comfort" in "Mencius" to sharpen the future generations.
Before the saint's death, Mencius connected the Holy Courtyard with the Valley of Sorrow, allowing scholars to enter, and it became one of the holy places for human beings to practice.
In front, stood an expressionless old man.
The old man looked at Fang Yun and asked slowly, "What is worry?"
Fang Yun did not answer immediately, but soon realized that this was a holy land, not an ordinary place. He could not answer with other people's understanding or those clichés, but had to answer with his own cognition.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Yun said, "If you can't get it, you will be worried."
The answer is simple, yet not simple.
The old man nodded slightly and asked again: "What is peace and happiness?"
"Being contented brings happiness." Fang Yun replied.
The old man nodded again and asked: "Can you enter the Shun Valley of the First Valley? How many troubles do you want to experience?"
