After experiencing the Infinite Battle Hall, all of Fang Yun's own strength was squeezed out. This was a battle without cultural treasures and external objects, which made scholars better understand the essence of battle.
After sleeping soundly for six hours, Fang Yun continued his usual life, going to Chongwen Academy to study, and going to Hanlin Hall or Youhan Valley to hone his skills during the ten-day break.
On the first day of September, Fang Yun officially passed the Seventh Hanlin Palace and officially became a Hanlin of the Seventh Palace, reaching the pinnacle of the human race's Hanlin.
September 15th is the day for the imperial examinations in various parts of the nation.
Thanks to the changes in Wenquxing, the number of admissions to the human race's imperial examinations is increasing. The total number of admissions to the imperial examinations this year is five times that of three years ago!
However, the imperial examination can only admit up to the level of Jinshi, and only when this group of Jinshi is successively promoted to Grand Secretary, can the strength of the human race be considered to have increased significantly.
But it will take at least forty years.
The Juren examination starts on September 15th, lasts for three days, ends on September 18th, and the results are announced on September 19th. On September 20th, all Juren will have the opportunity to go to the Book Mountain!
In order not to miss out on any genius and to allow the new generation to grow quickly, the saints have invested a lot of money. As long as Wenquxing is always there, no matter how much talent is consumed in studying, the Holy Academy will continue to accumulate talent.
Fang Yun had no idea what would happen when he went to the Book Mountain for the third time, so before that, he instructed Yang Yuhuan on many things and left some unused treasures and sacred objects in the Holy Temple. Finally, he wrote some documents by hand, telling anyone who made things difficult for Yang Yuhuan or her family in the future to use his documents. If that didn't work, he could take these documents and ask for help.
Fang Yun always felt that the Eighth Mountain and the Ninth Mountain were very dangerous, and if he was not careful, he might even lose his life.
Unfortunately, except Fang Yun himself and the saints, no one knows what is in the mountain of books, and there is no one to ask.
On the morning of September 20, countless messages came in. Fang Yun quickly read through them. They were all blessings from friends and acquaintances from all over the world. They hoped that he could pass the Ninth Mountain and complete a great feat in the history of the human race.
The biography of his good friend Kong Delun did not contain much, only one sentence.
“Grandpa hopes you can give it your all.”
Kong Delun is the grandson of the Kong family, and his great grandfather is the head of the Kong family.
After seeing these words, Fang Yun felt that the burden on his shoulders suddenly became heavier.
The emphasis of this sentence is not "go all out", but the word "you". As the half-saint, the head of the Kong family actually addressed the virtual saint "you", which is almost disrespectful.
Such expectations and pressure are enough to make anyone breathless.
"Why does the Patriarch of the Kong family think so highly of me?"
Fang Yun stood in Chongwenyuan, thinking for a long time.
When the time came, a white light descended from the sky and enveloped Fang Yun.
The white light dissipated, and Fang Yun disappeared without a trace.
The Fang family’s yard was filled with Fang family members.
Fang Daniu looked more mature, but his brows were furrowed and his worry was evident in his words.
Su Xiaoxiao looked gentle and worried. She was troubled.
A hint of pain flashed across Yang Yuhuan's eyes, but she quickly returned to normal. She slowly straightened her body with an extremely firm gaze.
Nunu lay weakly in Yang Yuhuan's arms, yawning, staring blankly in the direction where Fang Yun disappeared, feeling lost.
However, most of the scholars and private soldiers were stunned.
Many people lowered their heads silently, trying to forget what they had seen.
Some close friends looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Go up to the Book Mountain. What goes there is the divine mind, and the real body should be left in the holy temple.
This time, Fang Yun went to the Mountain of Books for the third time. Neither Dongsheng Pavilion nor Chongwen Academy allowed Fang Yun to go to the Holy Temple. Everyone thought that Fang Yun would enter the Mountain of Books with his spiritual mind at home.
Who knew. Fang Yun's real body disappeared!
"Don't think too much about it. It is possible that they first take Fang Xusheng's body to a safe place, and then let his mind enter the mountain of books." said an old scholar.
Everyone nodded slightly, trying to make themselves believe it.
Lei family.
Many elders of the clan are seeing Lei Chongmo off.
"Zhongmo, we are worried if you leave now." An elder of the tribe said worriedly.
Lei Chongmo smiled and said, "Before I become a great scholar, the Lei family will not be involved in any fights. As for Fang Yun, I believe he will not be stupid enough to take the initiative to target the Lei family. The Ninth Book Mountain is the most mysterious place of the human race. It was built by Confucius himself. How can Fang Yun easily reach it? Moreover, even if he gets great benefits in the Book Mountain, he can't become a university scholar this year. It will take at least until next year. I am just going to the Dragon Clan Battle Realm to hone my skills. I will return after using up a Wentai Awl. When I return, it will be the day when I become the leader of the four great talents!"
"Since you are so confident, that's a good thing!"
Lei Zhongmo smiled calmly and said, "After I become one of the Four Great Talents, I can prepare to become a great scholar. In a year at most, the Lei family will definitely have one more great scholar."
"I wish the head of the family good fortune in literature!" everyone shouted in unison.
The main family.
Zong Ganyu, Zong Wuyuan, Zong Chenli and a dozen others sat in a side room, drinking tea and chatting. They talked about the candidates for the imperial examinations and recommended to each other the new candidates they valued, preparing to take them into the Zong family and strengthen its power.
As they chatted, they mentioned Fang Yun.
"If I remember correctly, Fang Yun is going to go to the Book Mountain for the third time today, right?" Zong Wuyuan said.
Several people nodded slightly.
"Grandpa, what do you think he gained from this trip to the Mountain of Books?" Zong Wuyuan looked at the head of the family, Zong Ganyu.
Zong Ganyu hesitated for a moment and said, "Although this man is vindictive, narrow-minded, and unworthy of great use, he is still a talented person. Even if I don't like it, I have to admit that he is very likely to pass the eighth mountain. As for the ninth mountain, there is no way he can complete it!"
"Grandpa, do you know the secret of the Book Mountain?" The Hanlin Zong Wuyuan was as naughty as a child and looked at Zong Ganyu with a smile.
Zong Ganyu not only did not blame Zong Wuyuan, but smiled and said: "The Book Mountain has appeared for so many years, and the various families have guessed it. The entire Book Mountain cannot escape the idea of 'cultivating oneself, managing the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world'. Fang Yun is now good at governing the country, but he is still far from pacifying the world. He must be at least eighty years old or a great scholar before he can talk about pacifying the world."
"That's good. This way he will never be able to pass through the Ninth Book Mountain. This is good for our clan."
Zong Ganyu's eyes flashed with a complicated look, and he said, "No, the sooner the human race passes the Ninth Book Mountain, the better! Although I don't like Fang Yun, I hope he can pass the Ninth Book Mountain. Of course, it would be even better if someone else could do it."
"Grandpa, you are very broad-minded. If Fang Yun knew about this, he would definitely feel ashamed. But..." Zong Wuyuan looked at Zong Ganyu in surprise, his face full of amazement.
Zong Ganyu sighed and said, "When I was young, I traveled all over the world and interacted with disciples from various families, many of whom have become patriarchs. We old bones can always hear and guess many things. As early as more than ten years ago, we heard that the Kong family was eager for someone to pass through the nine mountains of books. We secretly suspect that if someone passes through the mountains of books, it will have a decisive influence on the future second battle between the two worlds."
The Zong family fell into silence.
Mountain of books.
Fang Yun only felt his body shaking, his eyes darkening and brightening, and then he found himself standing on the top of a mountain.
Fang Yun instinctively turned around and looked around, and found that he was on the seventh mountain of books. On the grass far outside the mountain, there were a large number of newly-appointed scholars standing.
.(To be continued.)
ps: Going to the mountain of books three times, the road to becoming a university scholar begins!
