The Path of the Sage

Chapter 303: Argument

Views:

"Wait until you become a Jinshi? Well, you are a natural talent. You are already a Jinshi candidate. You will definitely become a Jinshi within three years! We can wait!"

"Yes, we can wait."

"The Blood Drinking River Shell may contain holy blood and holy jade. Our Ma family should reserve a drop of holy blood and a piece of holy jade first!"

"I want to reserve an ancient demon marrow bead!"

Fang Yun discovered that the first people who shouted were family members of his friends in the Holy Ruins, and they were obviously helping him resolve the crisis.

With these people's approval, those who wanted to buy as soon as possible could not object and they all made reservations. The attendant who came to pick up Li Fanming took out pen and ink and wrote down these people's requests.

After Fang Yun put all the things that could be taken out in place, he took out a life-giving fruit and five longevity fruits and said, "In the Holy Ruins, Brother Yuqing saved us at the cost of his own life. It can even be said that he saved my life. This longevity fruit should belong to him."

Hua Yuqing was clearly only in his twenties, but he looked like he was in his thirties. He was stunned for a long time, then bowed to Fang Yun to express his gratitude, but his eyes were a little red.

Everyone looked at the longevity fruit with envy as it was handed to Hua Yuqing, and then looked at Fang Yun. Their favorable impression of this young and talented man increased greatly. The longevity fruit was a rare treasure even among the saintly families, and was usually only given to very old people with at least the rank of Hanlin.

Hua Yuqing is only in his twenties. Unless he becomes a great scholar at the age of forty and demonstrates extraordinary talent, the Hua family will not give him the longevity fruit.

Even Kong Delun, a direct descendant of the Kong family, could only obtain a ten-year-old longevity fruit from the Kong family in his lifetime. If he wanted a ten-year-old longevity fruit, he had to make huge contributions to the Kong family.

But now Fang Yun casually gave him a longevity fruit. Not to mention how precious this friendship is, his courage alone is no less than that of a great scholar.

However, someone in the crowd voiced a different opinion.

"It's just to win people's hearts! If I had five longevity fruits, I would be willing to give one away."

People nearby looked over and found that they were from Qing. Qing and Jing had always been at odds, so it was hard for others to say anything.

Fang Yun pretended not to hear and continued, "When I became a scholar, I once fought against the demons. In order to save us, General Chen Xibi of Dayuan Prefecture lost his left arm, and Mr. Wang and many others consumed their lifespans to use the Blood and Heart. This Life-Restoring Fruit was given to General Chen Xibi, and the Longevity Fruit was given to Mr. Wang and others. At that time, there were five gentlemen and generals who used the Blood and Heart, and there is still one missing. I will make up for it within three years! I, Fang Yun, am a small person with little influence. We are alone and weak, and cannot do much for the human race. But for those who work for our human race, I can at least let them not be wronged! Li Daxueshi, please give the divine fruit to those people on your behalf."

As Fang Yun spoke, he handed a life-enhancing fruit and four longevity-enhancing fruits to Li Wenying.

Li Wenying said to everyone: "I rushed to the battlefield after the battle, and the situation was very tragic. But the battle was banned by the Minister of Literature. When the news is unblocked, you may read about the incident in the Wen Bao. I would like to thank Fang Yun for his generosity on behalf of those people!"

Everyone was moved. Yan Yukong suddenly asked: "What is the rank of General Chen Xibi? What are the rank of Mr. Wang and others?"

"General Chen is a Jinshi, and Mr. Wang and others are Juren."

There were long sighs from the crowd. It was a complete waste of resources to give the longevity fruit and the body-promoting fruit to the Juren and Jinshi. No country or even the Holy Academy would waste them like this.

"They are lucky to have met Fang Yun." said an old Hanlin.

Everyone nodded.

Suddenly, Li Fanming said, "Which Qing countryman said that Fang Yun was buying people's hearts? Yes, Fang Yun has bought my heart now. If anyone slanders Fang Yun again in the future, I will definitely refute him! Who among you Qing countrymen is willing to use six divine fruits to buy people's hearts? I will sell this heart to you! Come on! Come and buy my heart!"

Li Fanming almost shouted the last two sentences.

"My heart is not that expensive, five divine fruits are enough!" Kong Delun said, looking towards the place where the Qing people were with a gloomy face.

There were thousands of people in the Sishui Courtyard, and at this moment, there was complete silence.

Some people from Qing country lowered their heads in shame, and the person who had slandered Fang Yun before was so embarrassed that his face turned red and he dared not say a word.

“Shame on you!”

"I am unworthy of being a scholar!"

"You have completely disgraced the intellectuals!"

"Idiot! Fang Yun's words have spread all over the world, so is there any need to waste divine fruit to win people's hearts?"

Xun Ye clenched his fists tightly, as he was the one who ordered the man just now.

Fang Yun glanced at Xun Ye from a distance, then put all the things he had taken out into the Xiong Jun's Yinjiangbei and handed it to Li Wenying.

Li Wenying said: "I will put a Wendan brand on it. Anyone who opens it will destroy the brand, so it can be verified later."

As Li Wenying spoke, he injected the power of his literary courage and talent into the edge of the Yinjiangbei, forming the brand of literary courage. He then asked Fang Yun to mix the power of his literary courage and talent into it. In this way, unless Fang Yun opened it, even Li Wenying opening the Yinjiangbei would destroy the brand.

Li Wenying also asked for Fang Yun's manuscript of "When Will the Moon Rise". This manuscript was extremely heavy. If it was passed on to the world, it would weigh 10,000 kilograms. Li Wenying almost sprained his waist and hurriedly put it into his own Hanhu shell. Then Li Wenying used a wild goose to send a letter to the people of the Holy Academy's Classics Institute and asked them to come and pick up the things.

Li Fanming left and returned a short while later. He came to Fang Yun and said, "The people of the Xun family said that the Saint has ordered that nothing that happened in the Saint Ruins will be investigated. Xun Ye only has admiration for you and has no intention of slandering you. I hope you won't make trouble."

"It's really nothing for a sub-saint family to protect the grandson of a family master. Okay, I understand. After I finish touring all the temples, I will solve it myself."

"Fang Yun, don't be impulsive! The Xun family is deeply rooted in Qing Kingdom, and your relationship with the various families in Qing Kingdom is like fire and water. If you really go to Xizhou in Qing Kingdom, I'm afraid it will not end well."

"Don't worry, I'll consider it."

"That's good."

As everyone was waiting for someone from the Academy of Classics to arrive, Kong Delun came over with a smile and said, "Since this trip to the Holy Ruins is much longer than the previous ones, the Kong family decided to let everyone who comes out of the Holy Ruins visit the Temple of Duke Huan of Lu."

Many people exclaimed in envy.

The juren and scholars who came out of the Holy Ruins gathered together one after another. Among the twenty scholars who entered the Holy Ruins, only three survived, not counting Fang Yun. And among the top twenty juren, six died, including Feng Yang, who was ranked sixth in the Holy Ruins, and was hailed as a genius who was not much different from Yan Yukong.

Even though the Feng family had made preparations in advance, many people still cried and wailed and had already left Sishuiyuan to prepare for the funeral.

Soon, officials from Shengyuan and Kongcheng came over. The people from Shengyuan wore ordinary official clothes, while the officials from Kongcheng wore bright red sacrificial robes to reflect the solemnity of the temple visit.

The people in the Holy Temple said some words of congratulations and then took everyone to visit the famous Temple of Duke Huan of Lu.

Xun Ye entered the team quietly, but most people ignored him, and Fang Yun seemed to have never seen him.

Under the envious gazes of the crowd, Fang Yun and others walked out of the Sishui Courtyard. Just as they were about to go out, they saw five people rushing over from a distance, as fast as lightning, all carrying poems on their backs.

If there is no earth-shattering event in Kongcheng, you must not use the Pingbu Qingyun flight. However, if there is an emergency and there is a carriage, you can also use the fast running war poetry.

Fang Yun and others were not allowed to stop and watch.

"Isn't that Yu Daxueshi from Guangjianyuan? Why did he come here with people from Guangjianyuan? Did something big happen?"

"They all look anxious. Something must have happened in the Holy Court."

"Alas, these are troubled times. I hope the Holy Court is safe."

Just as everyone was getting worried, Yu Daxueshi came running over and shouted with a thunderous tongue: "Who is Fang Yun, the guardian of the country!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and looked at Fang Yun together. Many people had even more worry in their eyes. Something that could make a Grand Scholar of the Holy Academy so anxious must be very serious.

Li Wenying's sword-like eyebrows moved slightly, his eyes flashed, but his expression did not change at all.

Xun Ye's eyes lit up. If Fang Yun was in trouble, it would be the best good news for him.

"I'm Yun, the lower level official. Nice to meet you all from the Holy Academy." Fang Yun bowed.

But Yu Daxueshi came straight over, grabbed Fang Yun's wrist, and said angrily: "How could you put 'Thousand Miles Away Sharing the Beauty of the Moon' in a dark place like the Classics Institute? My Guangjian Institute is responsible for the external exhibition of poetry and prose from all over the world, and such good words should naturally be placed in Guangjian Institute! Do you want to deposit treasures? No problem! Who in this world dares to come to my Guangjian Institute to steal things! Who! Stand up and let me see!"

The sixty-year-old Grand Secretary Yu looked at everyone, but no one dared to answer. He smiled proudly and was about to continue speaking when suddenly a thunderous voice came from behind him.

"I dare to rob the Xingdian!"

Grand Secretary Yu's expression changed slightly.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw some people wearing the robes of the Punishment Hall running towards them with the same poems of war on their backs.

When everyone saw this situation, they all laughed in relief. It turned out that Grand Secretary Yu was trying to seize the temporary storage rights of Fang Yun's poems. To some extent, this was indeed a big deal. After all, there were very few poems and essays that were passed down through the world.

Only a few people like Xun Ye were cursing in their hearts, watching a bad thing turn into a good thing that was beneficial to Fang Yun.

"Master Du!" Master Yu greeted politely.

Scholar Du snorted coldly and said, "As far as I know, Fang Yun is willing to temporarily store the rumor in the Holy Academy in order to store treasures. Those treasures came from the Holy Ruins and were obtained by killing monsters and barbarians. Fang Yun has made such a great contribution, so our human race must naturally protect his spoils! The Holy Academy's Criminal Hall rewards and punishes the human race, and also protects meritorious people of the human race. Those treasures and the rumor must naturally be deposited in the Criminal Hall!"

"Ridiculous! Then you can protect his treasures in the Punishment Hall, and we can store the Water Melody in Guangjianyuan. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

"We can't bear to separate Fang Yun's things!" said Academician Du earnestly.

"you… "

The two grand secretaries immediately started arguing, and everyone laughed as they watched them argue.

The big rabbit asked Li Fanming for a big carrot and ate it with relish while watching the two university scholars arguing with relish, his little mouth making a non-stop crunching sound.

Not long after, a loud roar suddenly came from a distance: "Luckily I arrived in time! Fang Yun said that he would store the things in our Classics Academy, what are you doing here?"

"My two literary friends, you are going too far!"

When everyone looked, they saw Grand Secretary Dai and Grand Secretary Wang from the Academy of Classics coming together.

Everyone laughed. This was a fight between a dragon and a tiger. It was going to be a good show! (To be continued...)
