"Quanyuan Guanshui" is, after all, just a poem for a Jinshi candidate. It may be of some use to the Hanlin Academy, but it is of little use to a top university scholar like Fang Yun.
At least the third level of "Quanyuan Guanshui" would be necessary to give Fang Yun enough talent. This poem had only appeared for a few years, and every time it was used, one would have to exhaust one's own talent. It was impossible to practice it at all, and no one had reached the second level so far.
When the Jing Kingdom's army was retreating, the various halls and pavilions of the Holy Academy far away in Daofeng Mountain held an emergency meeting. The meeting was initiated by the War Hall and the Works Hall at the same time, and according to convention, it was chaired by the East Holy Pavilion.
In a grand meeting hall, the elder of Dongsheng Pavilion and the head of the Zong family, Zong Ganyu, sat at the chief seat, while the elders of other halls and pavilions sat in different places.
"I wonder why the War Hall and the Works Hall initiated this meeting?" Zong Ganyu's eyes were indifferent, as if he was in a trance and didn't care about this meeting.
Ye Hongyu, the elder of the War Hall, said: "Saint Fang Xu went north to rescue Zhang Poyue and returned with his troops. The barbarians are hot on their trail. The Saint Academy should lend a helping hand."
Zong Ganyu had no expression on his face, and said slowly and calmly, "When the Ten Nations were founded, the saints and the ancestors of each nation made a promise to use the Three Barbarians and the Water Tribe as whetstones to sharpen the human army, so as to prevent the human race from losing its edge and following the footsteps of the ancient monsters. If there are monsters and barbarians from the outside world causing chaos, all nations will join forces. If it is just the barbarians, then each nation will solve it independently. If it cannot be solved, either cede land to ask for help from neighboring countries, or the royal family abdicates and cedes the human territory to neighboring countries. Those who are capable will rise, and those who are incapable will fall. There is no nation in the world that cannot be replaced."
"Back then, the saints and the ancestors of various countries had such a verbal agreement, but the premise was that the ten countries were prosperous and there was no threat from the demon world in the Two Realms Mountain. Now there is the demon world outside and the three barbarians inside, so the agreement back then is not completely applicable today. If Jing Kingdom is destroyed and Xu Sheng is captured, the morale of the human race will be greatly damaged, which will be extremely unfavorable for the upcoming battle of the Two Realms Mountain. In order to fight against the demon world, we must revise the agreement back then and save Jing Kingdom!"
"The ancestral laws cannot be abolished." Zong Ganyu said calmly.
"Oh? Are you mocking our Law Hall for arbitrarily changing our ancestral laws, or are you mocking the incompetence of the Etiquette Hall that has led to repeated changes in our ancestral laws?" The great scholar Gao Mo of the Law Hall spoke.
The elders in the Li Hall glanced at Gao Mo with displeasure, but did not support Zong Ganyu.
Zong Ganyu said: "If you really want to change the laws of the ten countries, I have no right to stop you. Then please follow the rules of the Saint Academy and first hold a meeting in the palace to discuss and formulate a draft, and then hold a meeting of the public. If there is any dispute, please let the saints make the decision."
"In extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done." Gao Mo said.
"How can the gains and losses of a state be considered an extraordinary time?"
"The life and death of the Void Saint is extremely urgent."
Zong Ganyu said: "The Holy Court is already protecting Fang Xusheng in secret. Even if the Demon Saint attacks in secret, it may not succeed. Moreover, Fang Xusheng is not an ordinary person, so he can naturally avoid all disasters."
"If it were an ordinary time, I would naturally not do this, but now, the three barbarians are making frequent movements, the water tribe is undercurrent, and the South China Sea Dragon Palace is even sealing its treasure at this time. In my opinion, Fang Xusheng's return journey is full of dangers."
Zong Ganyu said eloquently: "The body of Xu Sheng is more important than the millions of soldiers of Jing State. He knew the danger but did not return. He is seeking his own death. He cannot blame others."
"Warring against the demon world is seeking death? Saving a good friend from danger is seeking death? Keeping the promise made back then is also seeking death? Fang Yun saved Zhang Poyue, which was a righteous act; saving millions of soldiers was a great act of benevolence. This is the holy way of Confucianism! If Fang Yun didn't save them, how could he be worthy of reading the books of sages, and how dare he be named a virtual saint?" Gao Mo glared at Zong Ganyu angrily.
Many righteous scholars all looked at Zong Ganyu, especially the scholar in the Hall of Etiquette, who even had a hint of murderous intent in their eyes.
Sacrifice one's life for justice.
"If you don't overestimate your own capabilities, you will be courting death! Are the millions of Jing country soldiers more important, or are the human race more important? If Fang Yun fails to distinguish between the important and the unimportant, his death will be as easy as a feather and is not worth rescuing!" Zong Ganyu glanced at the great scholars in the hall of rites, with a wary look in his eyes.
"Xu Sheng is a precious treasure of the human race and must be saved." said Wu Jiudao, the old man in the Hall of Etiquette.
"If our Saint Academy makes an exception and takes action, the rules that the two races have followed before will completely collapse. At that time, the Great Barbarian King can rush thousands of miles and slaughter hundreds of millions of human beings. Even the Semi-Saints will directly take action and massacre several states! This responsibility cannot be borne by me, and no one present here can bear it either!"
"The Wolf Saint Army has already set out, so why can't our Saint Academy help Fang Yun?"
"As long as the demon half-saint does not attack Fang Yun, my Holy Academy must not take action!" Zong Ganyu said.
Gao Mo took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said: "Sha Man and Lin Man have secretly sent their kings to the north. Their intentions are obvious. They want to join forces with Cao Man to destroy Ning An, ruin Fang Yun's holy way, and even try to kill Fang Yun. The Holy Academy is to protect Fang Yun, but now he is a university scholar, and the great scholars who protect him have withdrawn. The current strength is not enough for Fang Xu Sheng to rest assured. If the barbarians use powerful treasures to cut off the power of the Holy Academy, it only takes a breath to kill Fang Xu Sheng!"
"I am not a barbarian, so I don't know what the barbarians are planning, but I can confirm one thing. Niu Shan, the leader of the Nuzhi tribe, led his troops out of the city without the approval of the War Hall and the East Saint Pavilion, and turned the human army into Fang Yun's private army. He should be executed according to the law! As for Fang Yun, he commanded Niu Shan without the order of the Holy Court, and it is very likely that he would destroy the Nuzhi tribe and ruin the human race's thousand-year plan to tame the barbarians. He is suspected of being a traitor, and when he returns to Ning'an City, he will be arrested and questioned!" Zong Ganyu's tone was full of murderous intent.
Gao Mo slammed the table and stood up, angrily asking: "Zong Ganyu, what did you do?"
Many great scholars changed color at the same time.
Zong Ganyu remained calm and said slowly, "I will send the Grand Secretary of the Eastern Saint Pavilion according to the law, carrying the Eastern Saint's order, to capture Niu Shan!"
"you… "
Gao Mo pointed at Zong Ganyu, so angry that he was speechless.
Many great scholars looked at Zong Ganyu in disbelief.
The Patriarch may occasionally be unable to take care of the Holy Court. In order to avoid accidents, the Half-Saints of the Four Saints Pavilion will leave a blank sacred edict with their names signed on it. In an emergency, the elders of the Four Saints Pavilion can write the specific content on behalf of the Half-Saint.
Once used, these imperial edicts will be exactly the same as those written by the Eastern Saint himself!
Such imperial edicts have appeared twice in human history. One appeared at the end of the Han Dynasty, when an imperial edict was used to stop Dong Zhuo from burning Luoyang. The other appeared in the early period of the Ten Kingdoms period, when the Wu Kingdom wanted to massacre a city of the Qing Kingdom.
This was the third time that the human race used the Blank Oracle, but it was to cut off the left and right arms of a generation of Void Saint!
"Zong Ganyu, you put the human race's Xu Sheng in danger for your own desires, you should be killed!" Gao Mo's hair and beard were standing on end, his long robe was fluttering, and murderous intent was overwhelming.
The elders in the Li Hall were extremely angry, but all of them looked powerless.
The Li Hall attaches great importance to rules, but Zong Ganyu did not stop Fang Yun and only used the imperial edict to capture the barbarian king Niu Shan. His methods were upright and it was an open conspiracy that even the Li Hall was powerless to stop.
Zong Ganyu looked calm and said, "Master Gao, please don't get excited. Fang Xusheng is a lucky man and nothing will happen to him. As for Niu Shan, he ignored the strict orders of the Abandoned Saint Academy and secretly sent troops to help Fang Yun. Next time, he will dare to defect to the demons. This unhealthy trend must be stopped!"
"I advise you to withdraw the imperial edict immediately, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!" A strange look flashed in Gao Mo's eyes.
Zong Ganyu was high and mighty and didn't care at all.
