"This..." Fang Yun looked hesitant and seemed to be struggling in his heart.
"What? You want to go back on your word? If we hadn't taken action, you would have been killed in Chu State long ago!" Lei Tingzhen's face was as cold as ice.
Fang Yun sighed, a hint of grief and pain flashed in his eyes, and said: "Forget it. This is just the first time, and it won't happen again! Besides, I am only competing with Fang Xusheng for literary fame. If you want me to do anything else, I would rather die than obey!"
Lei Tingzhen's expression eased and he said, "Of course."
"Can you please not use despicable means? I want to defeat Fang Xusheng with honor!" Fang Yun said with his head held high.
Lei Tingzhen sneered: "There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, and killing the enemy does not distinguish between despicable and noble."
"I understand." Fang Yun said.
"It's good that you understand. However, I hope you can remember that you cannot afford the price of regret!" Lei Tingzhen's eyes were as sharp as knives, falling on Fang Yun.
"Don't worry, I will never regret it." Fang Yun said.
"That's good! Goodbye!" Lei Tingzhen's expression was very different from when he came, and he left with Gu Juwu.
Fang Yun gave a mysterious smile and continued reading.
At four o'clock in the morning, Fang Yun put down the book and fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Fang Yun woke up naturally and felt that he had had an unprecedented good sleep. He felt extremely comfortable both physically and mentally.
Fang Yun opened his eyes, was stunned for a moment, and quickly stood up.
Fang Yun looked around and found that he was no longer in the barracks of Liangjie Mountain, but at the starting point of the Ninth Mountain. Behind him was a chain connecting him to the Eighth Mountain, and there was still fog in front of him, so he could not see what was on the Ninth Mountain.
The old man Shushan appeared in front of him.
Fang Yun bowed respectfully, and then said, "Excuse me, old sir, have I passed the ninth mountain?"
Old Man Shushan smiled and nodded, his eyes full of approval.
"Huh..." Fang Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
The difficulty of the entire Ninth Mountain is the highest among all the Book Mountains. Whether it is gaining the military power of the Pearl River Army or fighting against the King of Chu, whether it is fighting fiercely in the Two Realms Mountain or gaining the final victory, it is almost an impossible test for anyone.
Fang Yun did it!
"It feels good to enter the Mountain of Books again." A look of nostalgia appeared on Fang Yun's face. It had been more than a year since the test of the Ninth Mountain, and he had not expected it to take so long.
The old man Shushan smiled and said, "Not bad, the poem is good, and the performance is also good..."
"The way to self-cultivation is to focus on oneself. Confucius said, 'Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.' Zengzi said, 'I examine myself three times a day.' Mencius said, 'Riches and honor cannot corrupt me, poverty and humbleness cannot move me, power and force cannot bend me.' Your way of self-cultivation may not be sincere, but it is sincere."
"The way to manage a family is to love one's family and follow the principles of morality. The Zhang family was destroyed, the son looked upon his father as his enemy, and the father caused his son to be imprisoned for ten years, and everyone cursed him. You can educate your son again, revive your father's principles, and raise the flag of the Pearl River Army on Liangjie Mountain, continue the human relationship, and save your father's reputation from danger. This is the highest virtue, and it is the way to manage a family."
"In terms of governing a country, Duke Zhou pretended to be the king, while Guan Zhong respected the king. These were actually innovations. The changes in Ning'an were better than the changes in Luoyi and the changes in the Spring and Autumn Period. For the next thousand years, Ning'an will be the source of all worlds."
Fang Yun lowered his head slightly and said nothing.
Duke Zhou once changed the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, Fenghao, to Luoyi, and Guan Zhong once assisted Duke Huan of Qi in dominating the Spring and Autumn Period. The old man Shushan believes that Fang Yun's contribution to the human race in Ning'an City is greater than Duke Zhou's contribution to the Zhou Dynasty and Guan Zhong's contribution to Qi. All future progress of the human race will originate in Ning'an City.
"There are many realms in the world, not just one Shengyuan. Internally, we should follow the kingly way, and externally, we should follow the hegemonic way! In Ning'an City, the kingly way is obvious; on the mountains of the two realms, the hegemonic way is fully displayed! This is how we pacify the world. The nine mountains are actually one mountain."
"Sir, you are too kind to praise me. I am unworthy of it." Fang Yun lowered his head and whispered.
The old man Shushan smiled and said, "Don't underestimate yourself. Go, accept the reward and... mission of the Ninth Mountain."
Fang Yun was slightly stunned and found that when Old Man Shushan said the last two words, his smile disappeared. His eyes were like eyes monitoring the sky, empty and vague. His face looked like it had existed for eternity, vast and boundless. There was no golden light on his body, and no strange phenomena in the sky, but he seemed to be a saint.
Fang Yun was about to say something when the thick fog on the Ninth Mountain suddenly expanded and submerged him.
Fang Yun only felt that he was pushed into the thick fog by an invisible force. He kept moving forward until he broke through the fog. He saw a huge circular ancient altar in front of him. Above the altar appeared a miniature Shengyuan Continent, and everything was clearly visible and lifelike.
A beam of incandescent light shot straight into the sky.
Afterwards, vast sounds and eternal words were heard. Fang Yun stared at the altar and divine light in front of him with wide eyes. His expression changed, and finally he showed a look of sudden enlightenment and muttered to himself.
"I see, I see..."
The world suddenly changed, and a star fell from afar, heading straight for Fang Yun's eyebrows.
"Every time..."
Fang Yun closed his eyes and fainted.
After an unknown amount of time, Fang Yun opened his eyes and immediately entered the Wen Palace. He looked at a new Wen Palace lamp with a look of joy on his face.
There is a larger lamp on the wall of Wen Palace, which is the final reward of the ninth mountain of Shushan, the supreme literary mind, doing two things at the same time!
In the secret place of Kong family, Fang Yunde is extremely talented.
In the ocean of learning, Fang Yunde's ideas flowed freely.
In the Heavenly Tree, Fang Yun once had an incomplete ability to do two things at once. Now, Fang Yun has achieved a complete ability to do two things at once.
Of the four supreme literary minds, I have already attained three.
Except for Confucius and six sub-sages, no one has ever obtained the three supreme literary minds.
Even Confucius did not attain the fourth supreme literary mind.
Fang Yun took a deep breath and opened his eyes, and found that he was still on the Ninth Mountain, and most of the Ninth Mountain was still shrouded in white fog.
Fang Yun stared at the white mist in a trance. What he had seen and heard before kept emerging in his mind, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
The voice of old man Shushan appeared behind him.
"Now that the mountain of books is finished, where are you going?"
"Go back to Chu and uphold justice!" Fang Yun's voice was firm.
"And then?"
"Enter the battle realm and kill Lei Chongmo!" Fang Yun's voice became more firm.
"You are a great Void Saint."
"Even the Void Saint can get angry sometimes." Fang Yun said calmly.
"Then I will send you to Jingzhou of Chu State." said the old man Shushan.
"Also... lend me the Yi Zhuan. I want to take one last look at the literary world as Zhang Longxiang."
"When you leave the literary world, it will be time to restore your true form. Go."
"Thank you, sir."
After Fang Yun finished speaking, he felt his body being enveloped by a powerful force. He blinked and found himself sitting in the study of the Zhujiang Marquis Mansion in Jingzhou City, the capital of the Chu State.
Fang Yun sighed softly, looked around the study room with some nostalgia, and pushed the door open and walked out.
Outside, it was the dead of winter and the ground was covered with ice and snow.
In front of the window, the winter plum blossoms are blooming red.
The servant was extremely surprised to see Fang Yun. Just as he was about to speak, Fang Yun used his tongue to thunder and spread his message to Zhang's house.
"I am returning home, and no one is allowed to make a fuss. Come, prepare the horses... Forget it, prepare an ordinary carriage, I want to go around."
"I'll get ready right away!"
The servant prepared the carriage, and Fang Yun was about to get on. He looked down at the eye-catching blue university scholar robe on his body, walked onto the carriage, and changed into an ordinary blue cloth robe.
