The Path of the Sage

Chapter 1336: Lei Family Discusses Dragon Gate

Views:

“We, the dragon and demon tribes, get angry when we are angry, and we will swing our claws to attack when we encounter problems, but the human race is different. When you stay among the human race for a long time, you will understand that these humans will never show hostility unless it is necessary. They all like to give the enemy the final blow when it is off guard. Like Lei Chongmo, he was deeply influenced by the dragon tribe, so as soon as he returned to Shengyuan Continent, he took the initiative to attack the opponent, and he was a member of the Lei family, so there was no need to cover up. But this Zong Chenli is different. At least he will never take action before he is absolutely sure.” Ao Qingyue said.

Ao Huang nodded gently and said, "Yes. For example, Zong Ganyu, the patriarch of the Zong family, I thought he should have taken action long ago, but he only came out to reprimand Fang Yun before Fang Yun left the Blood Mang Ancient Land. The reason why he took action was because he was sure that he would win and Fang Yun would definitely die in the Blood Mang Ancient Land. And as you can see, Fang Yun was really just one step away from death. It doesn't mean that Zong Ganyu, the patriarch of a semi-saint family, can't keep his cool, it only means that you should never use common sense to measure Fang Yun. As for the one with the highest status in the Zong family, he hasn't really taken action until now."

The dragons listened and nodded continuously.

"We can't beat the human race if we play dirty tricks."

Ao Huang glanced at Fang Yun on his back and said, "Fang Yun once said that if insidious means are used against external parties, it is the path to victory, but if used against internal parties, it is the clarion call of destruction. In short, we should try not to learn from the internal fighting of the human race, but..." Ao Huang glanced at the West Sea Dragon Palace.

The dragons in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea sighed.

"We in the Four Seas Dragon Palace also have a tendency to fight among ourselves. The only thing we are better than the human race is that although we have internal fights, we don't kill each other."

"Huh? The people from the Lei family seem to be talking about Fang Yun." Ao Huang frowned and looked over.

All the dragons immediately listened attentively.

At this moment, Fang Yun woke up, turned his head slightly, squinted his eyes, and looked at the Lei family.

The five members of the Lei family, led by Lei Chongmo, were standing together with Zong Chenli.

Zong Chenli didn't say a word, just smiled and nodded occasionally. Lei Chongmo was the patriarch after all, so he didn't say much.

The other four members of the Lei family have been talking.

Fang Yun saw that among the four Lei family members, there was one scholar, one juren, one jinshi and one hanlin, and including Lei Chongmo, the university scholar, they all had different literary positions. He thought that the Lei family was very far-sighted and did not put all their eggs in one basket. Choosing the best talent for each literary position would at least ensure that the Lei family would have no worries about inheritance within a hundred years.

Then, Fang Yun frowned slightly. The four people spoke louder than usual. Not only were they not afraid of being heard by others, they even seemed to be afraid that others could not hear them.

"There are nine gates in the Dragon Gate. The first eight are actually projections of the Dragon Gate. Only the last, the ninth Dragon Gate, is the real Dragon Gate. Jumping over the first eight will only bring some benefits. Ordinary water creatures can generally only transform into pseudo-dragons, and those with good luck can transform into flood dragons. Only by passing the ninth gate can you directly become a dragon. Those with good luck can even become real dragons."

"What do you think, among the scholars of the human race, which three people have the greatest chance of leaping over the ninth dragon gate?"

"I think our patriarch must be one of them. After all, he has Jiaolong Wentai, and he is like a fish in water when he jumps over the dragon gate. The second one is Zong Chenli, the Grand Secretary. He was one of the Eight Talents of the Imperial Academy back then, and he was even able to surpass the Fierce Lord. Now, after being tempered by the Prison Sea, he should have the possibility of crossing the ninth dragon gate. As for the third one, no need to ask, I choose Fang Yun. Even though I am from the Lei family, I have to admit that Fang Xusheng has a great chance. The only disadvantage between him and the previous two is that he is young, and too young."

The scholar from the Lei family smiled and said, "I don't think so. Several people from the four sub-sage families had great chances to become the four great talents but they all gave up on their own initiative. The people from the Kong family are slightly better than them. Even the uncle of the family head and Mr. Chen Li can only be said to be on par with them. Among them, the only one who is slightly weaker is Yan Yukong. After all, he is only a Jinshi. Although for the human race, a high literary rank is not particularly useful for leaping into the dragon gate, it still has certain benefits. However, even Yan Yukong has a good chance of leaping into the dragon gate. After all, he was once the number one scholar in the world."

The scholar from the Lei family laughed and said, "So you think Fang Xusheng is not qualified to be in the top three?"

“How should I put it? If we choose the top ten, Fang Xusheng will definitely be one of them. But if it’s the top three, except for the head of the family and Mr. Chen Li, I can’t say clearly about the others.” The scholar from the Lei family had a confident smile on his face.

Fang Yun looked at the scholar, who had a pretty face and good looks. He knew that his name was Lei Yigu, a second-class student and a second-class scholar. Although he did not get the first place in the "Please the Holy Words" test of the scholar exam, he got the first place in the "Please the Holy Words" test of the student exam, becoming a double-class student like Fang Yun. However, Lei Yigu was not a student before the Holy Words.

Not only that, Lei Yigu was also praised as a young man who was no less talented than Yan Yukong and Yi Zhishi. So even though he, a Jinshi, might not be able to jump over many dragon gates, the Lei family was still willing to let him enter Longmen Gorge.

Even though Lei Yigu's tone was too arrogant, no one laughed at him because he had the qualifications to say such things.

In the minds of the Lei family, he may be the future Fang Yun of the Lei family.

Zong Chenli shook his head and smiled, "How deep of a hatred do you have against me, little guys, that you would flatter me like this? The reason why I quit the Four Great Scholars is because I feel that I am not one of the best scholars in the world. I am just a drop of water in the ocean of human beings. I should be like the ancient sage Zhuge, devoting myself to the cause of mankind and exterminating the monsters and barbarians until my death. That's all."

"As expected of Mr. Chenli, you are always so humble. I am ashamed of myself." Lei Yigu said this, but there was no trace of shame on his face.

Fang Yun looked at Zong Chenli for a few more times. This person looked very ordinary, like a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a small mustache, but his nose was particularly large. There were slight scratches on some parts of his university scholar's robe, which was obviously washed many times and had been worn for many years. His eyes were slender, but they did not make people feel squinting, but instead gave people the illusion that his eyes were bright.

Suddenly, Lei Chongmo, who was beside Zong Chenli, turned his head to look at Ao Huang, his eyes falling on Fang Yun's face.

"Fang Xusheng, what do you think?"

All the humans and dragons turned their heads to look at Fang Yun. Even the vast majority of the aquatic creatures and monsters seemed to have sensed something and also looked at Fang Yun.

The water creatures were all there to watch the fun, but the monsters mostly had red eyes, flashing with anger and hatred, and they wished they could tear Fang Yun apart alive.

Because of Fang Yun, the Yaoman people have lost many semi-saints and even a great saint. At the same time, hundreds of millions of Yaoman people died directly or indirectly at the hands of Fang Yun.

To the demon barbarians, Fang Yun was simply an eternal shame in their hearts. The demon world lost to Confucius in ancient times and lost to the human race and the dragon race in Liangjie Mountain. It was nothing, but being fooled around by one person was intolerable! .
