The Path of the Sage

Chapter 1382: Bear the thorns and plead guilty!

Views:

This was the first time that the human race participated in the Leap Over the Dragon Gate. After the travel notes written by Yan Yukong and several university scholars appeared on the literary list, they immediately attracted great attention.

Especially after learning that the Lei family had lost a large number of sacred objects and treasures, countless scholars applauded and praised, and the whole world was celebrating. All kinds of witty remarks mocking the Lei family appeared on the literary list.

"After hundreds of years of hard work, we are back to the time before the Shang and Zhou dynasties overnight."

"Compared to Ji Zhibai, the Lei family are just pig-like teammates. They have done such harm to the Dragon Clan."

"Don't laugh at the Lei family. It's useless to just laugh at the Lei family. What can it bring to the human race? After laughing at the Lei family, you should also go and congratulate Fang Xusheng!"

"Who said that the benefits gained by humans from leaping through the Dragon Gate are not as great as those gained by dragons?"

There was no shortage of discussions on the literary list about those treasures. They all wanted to know what Fang Yong would use them for. Some children from aristocratic families were particularly interested in who had left that semi-saint robe.

That night after returning to the Holy Temple, Fang Yun and Yang Yuhuan spent half the night in love.

Early in the morning of the second day, Fang Yun, Yan Yukong and Kong Delun began to tour the entire holy temple.

Kong Delun and Yan Yukong are both good friends of Fang Yun in Shengxu, and both are young Jinshi. They have high status and low seniority, and can act freely no matter what happens. They are the most suitable people to work with Fang Yun.

While touring the Holy Academy, the three of them visited the elders and important figures in the various halls of the Holy Academy. They also met some unknown but powerful Grand Secretaries of the Holy Academy. These people were from aristocratic families and had lived in the Holy Academy for many years. Only a very few people knew of their existence.

As for the secret palaces and holy places such as the "Jianyuan" of the War Palace responsible for external intelligence, Fang Yun could not go there.

The Holy Temple is very large, and one cannot just rush through the visits to see all the people. Most people like to chat with Fang Yun, which takes at least a quarter of an hour, and it would take at least three or four days to complete the visits.

Fang Yun was not anxious, but rather very happy. Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles are all cultivation. Communicating with these people is more important than reading a hundred books.

Fang Yun spent the entire morning in Nansheng Pavilion. After all, Nansheng was Yan Yukong's master, and Yan Yukong still sided with his family.

In the afternoon, I went to the North Saint Pavilion, and in the evening, I went to the West Saint Pavilion.

Another day passed before he went to Dongsheng Pavilion, but he only stayed for a quarter of an hour before leaving.

The Eastern Saint is no longer Wang Jinglong.

After leaving the East Saint Pavilion, the three were discussing whether to go to the Ceremonial Hall or the Punishment Hall first. Fang Yun suddenly stopped with the official seal in his hand.

Kong Delun and Yan Yukong looked at Fang Yun together.

After a moment, Fang Yun sneered and said, "Yukong, you were right. The Lei family really wants to drag their feet and not give it to you."

"They give part and keep part, right?" Yan Yukong said with a smile.

"That's right. They said that some of the divine treasures, such as the Half-Saint Clothes and Crowns, the Half-Saint Burial Treasures, and the Ancient Demon Battle Body, are in the Lei Family's secret place, which can only be opened by the Lei Family's Patriarch and several great scholars. But because Lei Family's great scholar Lei Tingyu threatened me outside Ning'an City and wanted to save Lei Wu and others, he was exiled to the Ancient Sea Cliff for three years by the Hall of Rites. The Lei Family thought that they would not need the Lei Family's secret place within three years, so they did not change the way to enter the secret place. Now, if we want to open the Lei Family's secret place, we must let Lei Tingyu leave the Ancient Sea Cliff. The Hall of Rites will not release Lei Tingyu because of this, so I have to wait two years before I can get those treasures."

"Lei family... Humph..." Kong Delun snorted coldly, with a look of disdain flashing across his face.

Although Yan Yukong didn't like fighting, he was always very accurate in his judgment. He said, "Lei family secret place? Which family doesn't have a secret place? Every secret place has an emergency opening method. Although there will be some price, you can pay this price! Tell the Lei family so and see how they respond?"

Fang Yun nodded, and after a while, a strange look appeared on his face.

"How did they respond?"

Fang Yun said: "Lei Chongmo knew that I didn't believe it, so he told me what the secret place was."

"Oh? What secret place is it? You won't be convinced, will you?" Yan Yukong asked.

"But, I have already promised the Lei family not to tell anyone. And... I'd better not tell anyone." Fang Yun looked at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Kong Delun and Yan Yukong looked at each other. Then Kong Delun said, "If that's the case, then you really can't tell me. If you accidentally let it slip, the Lei family will definitely use it as an excuse not to give you the bet. However, I can't think of any secret place that you can't do anything to the Lei family."

"I can't guess it for the moment." Yan Yukong frowned.

"I didn't think of it before." Fang Yun said with a wry smile.

Fang Yun had a lot to say, but he couldn't say it because the Lei family's secret place was so special that if he didn't tell anyone, it would be almost impossible for anyone to guess it.

Lei Chongmo was willing to say it only after Fang Yun promised the Lei family in advance not to disclose the information to outsiders.

The secret place of the Lei family is the former residence of a semi-saint!

The Lei family did not say which semi-saint's former residence it was. They only told Fang Yun that the Lei family discovered a semi-saint's former residence drifting in the starry sky many years ago, and then borrowed many magical objects from the dragon clan, and finally fixed the semi-saint's former residence after exhausting all their family wealth, and then obtained some magical objects and treasures from it.

Logically, the descendants of the owner of the former residence should be notified and the residence should be divided up, but the Lei family concealed the matter in order to embezzle it, so no information could be disclosed.

The semi-saint's clothes and hats, semi-saint's burial treasures, ancient demon's combat bodies, etc. that the Lei family put up for gambling all came from the semi-saint's former residence.

Although Lei Chongmo did not say much, Fang Yun believed that there must be other treasures in the former residence of the semi-saint. It was very likely that the former residence of the semi-saint was too large, and the Lei family needed to slowly crack it, and it had not yet been completely excavated.

Lei Chongmo has already reported this matter to Dongsheng Pavilion. When the time comes, Lei Chongmo will meet with Dongsheng Sect Master Mo Ju and ask the Sect Master to issue a certificate to prove that this matter is not false. As long as Lei Tingyu comes out, the Lei family will return all the treasures.

They asked the patriarch to guarantee, and Fang Yun knew that this was true. Lei Chongmo also apologized sincerely and made it clear that if they forced their way into the semi-saint's former residence, it would be completely closed and disappear into the starry sky, making it difficult to find.

However, Fang Yun's eyes moved slightly, and he did not say all his thoughts. He had other ideas about the former residence of the Semi-Saint.

"Hmph, then let's wait for two years. If the Lei family still doesn't hand it over after the time is up, we'll find someone to wipe out the secret place! Let the Lei family lose a hundred times." Kong Delun said.

"But this is not the most important thing." Fang Yun's expression was slightly strange.

"What is more important?" Comte asked.

"Three days later, Lei Chongmo will bring Lei Yigu and many other members of the Lei family to apologize for their crimes!"

"What?" Yan Yukong, who was always calm and composed, was stunned.

"There must be something wrong when things are abnormal!" Kong Delun said in surprise.

"The head of the Lei family actually asked for forgiveness by carrying a thorn stick on his back? This is unbelievable and simply an unprecedented event! I would rather believe that you are a traitor than believe that the Lei family admits guilt!" Yan Yukong said.

"Everyone knows what the Lei family is like. If you were a half-saint, it would not be surprising for the Lei family to apologize for your crime. Now you are just a Hanlin, and you have offended the Three Seas Dragon Palace and even the future Three Seas Dragon Saint, and even won so many treasures from the Lei family. No other family would apologize for their crime at this time!"

"Did Lei Chongmo really say that he would come to your door to apologize in three days? Like Lian Po, with his upper body naked, carrying a thorn on his back, and apologize?" Yan Yukong said.

Fang Yun nodded slightly.

"This Lei Chongmo is probably the most terrifying head of the Lei family." Yan Yukong muttered to himself.

"There is nothing better than being able to bend and stretch."
