The stubborn Wuzhui jumped desperately, and the bell under the horse's head kept ringing.
However, Fang Yun showed no intention of falling. Soon Wu Zhui's movements became slow. Fang Yun noticed Wu Zhui's weakness at the first moment and immediately released his literary power.
Powerful pressure from a literary hero emanated from Fang Yun's Wen Palace. Wu Zhui screamed in fear, stopped jumping around, then lowered his head, stood still obediently, and exhaled through his nostrils.
Those who originally wanted to surpass Fang Yun by riding skills suddenly realized that they had forgotten the fact that Fang Yun was at the second level of Wen Dan. As long as he reached the second level of Wen Dan, combined with riding skills, it would be much easier to tame Wu Zhui than others, but no one present, whether it was the Juren or Jinshi, could reach the second level of Wen Dan, and even those who reached the first level of Wen Dan were few and far between.
The young Duke snorted coldly and said, "Wei Yu, let's go. Show your strength of the second level of Qin Dao in the 'Danbo Pavilion', surpass him in one fell swoop, and then enter the fifth pavilion first!"
"Don't worry, I am a person who once entered the upper house. If I don't have outstanding abilities in the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, I can't break into the fifth pavilion!"
"We can't let him fall too far behind, we have to tame Wuzhui as soon as possible!"
Qiao Juze glanced at Fang Yun, then at Wei Yu, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Fang Yun stroked the neck of Wuzhui horse, and Wuzhui immediately turned its head and licked Fang Yun's hand obediently with its tongue.
"Gee!" Fang Yun shook the reins and clamped the horse's belly. Wuzhui immediately raised his head high and walked forward with graceful steps. The bell under his neck kept ringing.
After passing the horse training field, there is a flat road. Beside the road stands a wooden sign with the three words "Ming He Luan" written in black on white paper, and below the three words there is a simple music score.
"He" and "Luan" are both bells on ancient chariots. Ming He Luan requires the driver to make the bells sound harmoniously when the chariot is moving, while Ming He Luan in the Imperial Horse Pavilion has a higher requirement. The bells under the horse's neck must sound like a simple song.
And the music scores encountered by each person are different each time.
Fang Yun took a closer look and found that this piece of music was adapted from a very famous piano piece called "Naochun". It was much simpler than the original piece, but even a simple piece of music was very difficult for Ma Ling to play.
Fang Yun did not ride his horse immediately. He sat on the saddle and thought first. When the next person was about to tame Wuzhui, he shouted "Gee" softly and used his military riding skills to control Wuzhui's pace.
The speed, weight, length and head movement of the black horse all affect the sound of the bell, but under Fang Yun's control, the black horse is like a dancer among horses, marching forward with dazzling steps, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes rushing forward and sometimes stopping suddenly, and sometimes even raising its head suddenly.
If you close your eyes, you will hear a simple song called "Nostalgic Spring" composed of the sound of bells and horse hooves, which is light, cheerful and full of the breath of spring.
If you open your eyes, you will find that the black horse seems to be immersed in the sound of the bells, and its face is full of joy.
The scholar who had just tamed Wuzhui sat on his horse and stared at Fang Yun blankly. He had seen horse bells playing music, but horse hooves playing music only existed in legends. Only then did he realize that Fang Yun's riding skills must have been learned from a famous master, and the children of ordinary semi-saint families could not do it. This was the specialty of the Confucius family and the disciples of the Confucius family.
"It's great to have friends all over the world. You can even learn the secret method to pass the Lingyan Pavilion. It's really enviable." The scholar sighed softly.
Soon, Fang Yun walked to the end of the road playing the bell music.
The road ahead was full of small ditches and rivers. The road along the edge of the ditches and rivers was very narrow, only wide enough for one horse to pass. If you were not careful, you might fall into the river or ditch.
There is also a plaque on the side, which clearly states that horses cannot cross the ditch or river and must walk along the only road.
This is "Zhu Shuiqu", which means walking along the winding gullies and streams without letting the horses step into the water.
This time, Fang Yun didn't even think about it. He patted Wuzhui's butt, letting the horse trot, and then controlled the horse to move forward along the only road.
The scholars behind him were amazed. They had been in the Imperial Horse Pavilion for so many years, and no one except Fang Yun dared to let the horse trot during the "Zhu Shui Qu".
"It's so magical, I'm afraid it's at least eight."
"Nine chips is also possible."
"There are two pavilions and one report. After the second pavilion, we can see his number of chips."
"This is a true genius. He is well versed in poetry, classics, and policy. Even his riding and archery skills are far superior to those of us. He is rare in the world."
At the edge of the winding ditch, Fang Yun rode his horse forward, controlling every step perfectly.
The road was very wide at the beginning, but it became narrower later on. However, his speed did not slow down at all, and every step of Wuzhui was under his control.
Soon, Fang Yun passed the third level of the Imperial Horse Pavilion, Zhu Shui Qu, with absolute advantage.
Fang Yun sat on his horse, straightened his back and looked forward, and saw wide ditches, small mounds of earth, and trees on the road ahead. One side of all the trees was blocked by thorns, so he had to keep walking around them to get through.
There are three gates on this road, each narrower than the last. The last gate is barely wide enough for a horse to pass through, and you will get stuck if you are not careful.
This level is called "Crossing the Junbiao" and is several times more difficult than the previous ones, because you could pass it slowly before, but in this fourth level you must use enough speed to make the horse cross the wide ditch and earthen mounds, otherwise the speed will be a little slower and the horse and the person will fall off.
Fang Yun imprinted all the terrain and obstacles ahead into his mind, thought for a while, and rode his horse forward.
While running, Fang Yun gradually controlled the speed of Wuzhui, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and soon adjusted it to a moderate speed, not too slow to prevent it from crossing obstacles, nor too fast to prevent it from hitting a narrow door.
This time, hardly anyone was looking at him, because everyone else was concentrating on walking the Mingheluan or Zhushuiqu. From time to time, someone's bells rang loudly and they had to go back and walk again, and occasionally someone accidentally fell into the ditch or river.
There was chaos in the Imperial Horse Pavilion.
Fang Yun rode away, leaving all the chaos behind, and only the Jinshi scholars were barely not left too far behind by him.
Except Ji Zhibai, the other eight Jinshi from Shangshe were all there, but none of them could compete with Fang Yun.
"It would be great if Ji Zhibai was here..." the young duke sighed softly.
Finally, Fang Yun successfully passed through the narrow gate and completed the fourth level of Junbiao.
There were complicated bends ahead. Fang Yun looked carefully and found that they were just as described in the book. At first glance, they looked like twisting vines, which was very strange. This was the fifth level, "Wu Jiao Qu".
The so-called "Wu Jiao Qu" means that the chariot can run smoothly on a complex and intersecting road, as gracefully as dancing, but war horses can easily do "Wu Jiao Qu" which is difficult for chariots to do, so this fifth level becomes a test of speed and corners.
This time, Fang Yun did not hesitate at all. He pulled the black horse and accelerated forward.
Wei Yu saw Fang Yun on Wujiaoqu and smiled coldly. Wujiaoqu looked simple, but in fact, because of the different curvatures and widths of the curves, it was easy to lose control once you accelerated. But if you slowed down, you would be overtaken by others. Without years of experience and many times in Lingyan Pavilion, it was impossible to pass this Wujiaoqu quickly.
This Wujiaoqu can be said to be the turning point of Yuma Pavilion, where people often launch charges and come out on top.
Wei Yu quickly passed Zhushuiqu. When he was about to step onto the obstacle-filled Guojunbiao, he casually glanced at Fang Yun and stayed where he was.
Fang Yun's speed was faster than any other time he had danced! Fang Yun's skills in corners were also far superior to his!
"This bastard!" Wei Yu was filled with anger, but he was a Jinshi after all. Then the negative emotions in his heart gradually disappeared, and he finally looked at Fang Yun and seriously participated in the Junbiao.
Fang Yun had escaped from the barbarians' magic and arrows many times in the Shushan environment. The most dangerous time was when the demon king threw out spears continuously, which was countless times more dangerous than now.
Fang Yun finally showed a smile on his face. He had never been able to use the speed of his warhorse since he started training horses, but in this Wujiaoqu, he could use the speed of his warhorse to almost the limit. He only slowed down slightly when turning.
Only in this way can you appreciate the joy of galloping on horseback.
Soon, Fang Yun passed the bend test, passed Wujiaoqu, and completed the fifth level of Yuma Pavilion.
At this moment, the fastest person at the back had not yet passed half of the fourth level.
The young duke had a gloomy face. Before, Fang Yun could only beat the second person by one level, but now Fang Yun could beat people by one and a half levels. This seemingly small half level was exactly the gap between the strongest in human history and the strongest in Jing Country!
The sixth level, chase the birds to the left.
There is not much difference between the chariot's chasing of animals to the left and the imperial horse pavilion's chasing of animals to the left. Both of them drive the animals to the left to create better hunting conditions and finally hunt them.
The last level of the Imperial Horse Pavilion is a combination of hunting and horse riding. Only by getting the best results here can you get the highest number of chips in the Imperial Horse Pavilion.
Fang Yun's eyes lit up slightly. This was a manifestation of the talent surging in his body. The Imperial Horse Pavilion had ten points, and Zhuqin Zuo alone had four points!
There was also an arrow rack at the edge of the left field of Zhuqin. Fang Yun also took a longbow this time, but only took ten heavy arrows.
This hunting ground for Zhu Que Zuo is a grassland with extremely tall grass. Countless wild animals are lurking among them, and wild geese and goshawks are flying in the sky.
In this hunting ground, each person can only shoot ten arrows. If one wants to get four arrows, he must not only pass through the hunting ground as quickly as possible, but also shoot ten lions or goshawks.
As for wild animals such as rabbits, deer, geese or wolves, although they can be shot, the number of chips is very low.
So when they saw Fang Yun being the first to enter the hunting ground, the many Jinshi and Juren behind him sighed, because there were only a few lions and goshawks there, and the riding and archery skills displayed by Fang Yun had already shown that once Fang Yun entered the hunting ground first, he would definitely only shoot lions or goshawks.
This time, even the young Duke, Wei Yu and others knew that Fang Yun could pass smoothly.
As expected, Fang Yun did not show any pride or carelessness this time. He shot and killed six lions and three goshawks with his real riding and archery skills. Moreover, during this process, Fang Yun's speed did not decrease. His black horse almost ran at full speed through Zhuqin Zuo's hunting ground.
"At least nine and a half."
"No, it must be full of ten chips!"
The young Duke sneered, "You forgot one important thing! Fang Yun actually expended his talent in Zhuqin Zuozhong, and this is only the second pavilion! If he continues to consume it, even if he has the ability of the seventh pavilion, he will not be able to pass the fifth pavilion because of the exhaustion of talent! Which of the four pavilions of music, chess, calligraphy and painting does not consume a lot of talent? I admit that he had a chance to win, but he missed it because he was too stupid!"
