When he came to the part of the annotation "When you see a virtuous person, you should think about being like him; when you see an unvirtuous person, you should reflect on yourself", Fang Yun was suddenly stunned. He did not immediately give a phonetic and philological explanation, but lowered his eyelids slightly and remained silent for two hours before continuing to explain. Unlike before, Fang Yun's eyes were full of brilliance, as if he had gained something.
At first, the Snake King could still remain independent and sober, but later he became completely immersed in it like the other monsters. Even when Fang Yun stopped, he had no other thoughts and was always pondering the contents of "The Analects of Confucius".
The Analects of Confucius consists of only more than 10,000 words, but every word is precious. The total number of words in Fang Yun's annotations is dozens of times that of the original text. Adding the revisions and polishing, he only wrote one-third of it after one day.
It took Fang Yun three full days to interpret the last chapter of The Analects.
As important as the opening chapter "Learn and practice it from time to time", this final chapter highlights the destiny, gentlemen, propriety, establishment, speech, knowledge and people in strong strokes, echoing the previous and subsequent chapters, and the word "learn" runs through the whole book.
Fang Yun recited the last chapter repeatedly in a low voice.
"Confucius said: 'If you do not know your destiny, you cannot be a gentleman; if you do not know propriety, you cannot establish yourself; if you do not know words, you cannot know people.'"
When annotating the previous text, Fang Yun already felt that he had overdrawn all his strength, because it would be impossible for the sages of all ages to complete the annotations to the holy classics in a few days. It would often take several years or even decades to complete a book.
Fang Yun originally wanted to write it separately like he did with "History of Ancient Demons", but on the one hand, it would be of great help to him to complete "New Notes on the Analects" in the Valley of the Buried Saints, and on the other hand, he had a feeling that if he interrupted "The Analects" now, he might lose a great opportunity and great fortune.
Therefore, even though he felt he could not hold on any longer, Fang Yun did not stop. He pondered and pondered over and over again, even continuously consuming his holy energy.
After resting for a full hour, Fang Yun picked up his pen and wrote the last part of "New Notes on the Analects" while lecturing.
After writing the last period, Fang Yun, with a pale face, let out a long breath, then looked up at the sky and listened attentively.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the huge shadow of the blood tree could be vaguely seen in the clouds.
Nothing happened, not even the sound of the Holy Word. It was even less commotion than when the first chapter was written.
Fang Yun sighed lightly, feeling a little disappointed, but when he thought of the translation of the first chapter of "The Analects of Confucius", he smiled slightly, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
After a while, Fang Yun started snoring, and his snoring was very loud.
Fang Yun was snoring on the top, and the other monsters were shaking their heads below. They have not yet come out of the "New Notes on the Analects" and are still studying the meaning of the "Analects" in depth.
A few demons and barbarians had even taken out paper and pen to carefully record all of Fang Yun's words, including those that were not suitable to be written in "New Notes on the Analects of Confucius".
Twelve hours passed before Fang Yun woke up. He opened his eyes and saw the familiar mist covering the sky. His mind went blank for a while before he stretched out and slowly sat up.
Most of the monsters and barbarians below were sleeping in a mess and snoring loudly. A few of them had strange and anxious expressions on their faces, and were completely immersed in "The Analects of Confucius" and were still studying it in depth.
Teaching is different from learning. Fang Yun puts in more than ten thousand times more energy than Yaoman who is listening to the lecture.
Fang Yun slowly stood up, glanced at these monsters, thought for a moment, looked around the valley, and finally his eyes fell on the trunk of the blood tree.
When I saw the blood tree before, it was full of tyrannical aura, but now the surface of the bark actually has a warm and jade-like glow, and the blood-red texture has become clear, and the surface is like patina, as if it had been washed by an inexplicable great power, becoming purer.
After pondering for half a minute, Fang Yun wrapped the stone fetus blood egg in an eggshell and put the other objects into his sea-swallowing shell. Then he rode on the current and left the canyon without looking back, escorted by two incomplete emperor's spirit skeletons.
It was not until Fang Yun walked out of the canyon that the fascinated and sleeping monsters suddenly woke up and turned to look at Fang Yun's back.
Fang Yun was dressed in green, standing on the forehead of the flowing river, as if he was walking on the river or the sea, floating between heaven and earth.
Many monsters and barbarians suddenly felt that this world seemed to be created by Fang Yun, and at the same time, they developed a faint feeling of admiration.
The Snake King imitated the humans, stood up and bowed 90 degrees.
"Farewell, dear teacher."
The other monsters and barbarians immediately performed the proper ceremony and respectfully sent Fang Yun off.
The trees in the distance swayed gently in the wind, like a demon, bidding farewell to the teacher.
Fang Yun had a faint smile on his face.
Being promoted to the third realm great scholar so quickly must be full of hidden dangers. If there is no half-saint to help, the consequences will be worrying. Before entering the Burial Valley of Saints, Wang Jinglong once reminded Fang Yun that after being promoted to a great scholar in the Burial Valley of Saints, he should improve his realm as soon as possible and not worry about hidden dangers. He would help him when the time comes. At worst, the main body can recite scriptures by Fang Yun's side for a year or two, and no matter how big the hidden danger is, it will be eliminated.
However, after finishing writing "The Analects", Fang Yun felt that all his hidden dangers had disappeared, whether they were previous or newly caused.
For scholars, poetry is ultimately inferior to essays, and essays are inferior to classics.
Whether it is "History of Ancient Demons" or other books, Fang Yun mainly relies on the help of others, but this "New Notes on the Analects of Confucius" is different. It is a complete collection of what Fang Yun has learned over the years.
The process of writing "New Notes on the Analects" is far more complicated than imagined. Not only does one have to organize and summarize what one has learned, but one also has to tap into one's memory and deepen it, while at the same time eliminating the dross and retaining the essence, and eliminating the false and retaining the true.
The process of writing this book is a process of tempering, removing all impurities in thoughts and making the essence purer. This is one of the best ways to practice.
If there had been any hesitation before and it had not been completed in one go, it would have left hidden dangers in the Holy Burial Valley.
Now, Fang Yun looked into the sky, and the heaven and earth were clear.
"Next, if I can make the Moon Tree Fruit Core recreate a picture of a fierce tree, that would be the best. If I can't do that, it doesn't matter. After all, the gains from this trip to the Tree Realm are extraordinary. According to the inheritance of Tree Lord and Fu Yue, there are still some excellent places in the Tree Realm, but they are too dangerous. With my current strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain any benefits. There is a high chance that a dragon will turn over and appear in the outside world. With my current strength, I still have a chance to fish in troubled waters."
"Next, I should go directly to the human race's blood tomb cemetery to find the human race's holy tomb and complete Mr. Jinglong's last request. Unfortunately, the demon barbarians will never let me in. Before I have absolute strength, I would rather abandon the treasures of the human race's holy tomb than die. So, I should go to Zhilei Mountain to see how Mr. Ye Hongyu is doing, and then enter Xuantian River from Zhilei Mountain to see if I can encounter the ancient demon holy object."
"I have now been promoted to the third realm, and I have three incomplete emperor spirit skeletons. I am already a real emperor. Unless I meet a great master at the level of the Demon Emperor, no one can defeat me. I don't need to be low-key. However, I still need to be careful. What if the demon world really prepares multiple forbidden sacred trees and uses them on me? It will definitely be dangerous."
Fang Yun got a headache when thinking of the forbidden sacred tree. Many brilliant geniuses of the human race in history were trapped by the forbidden sacred tree, unable to control the vitality of heaven and earth, unable to use their power, and eventually fell.
