Fang Yun remained unmoved by the outside world, and like a most serious child, he continued to play the ripples in front of him, even though he had not succeeded once.
"The second realm of the qin is 'sword courage and qin heart'. Once you use the Wenbaoqin, the killing power is several times that of the first realm, so it has the power to overwhelm the whole audience."
"It would be better not to confront Wei Yu at this time. Now Fang Yun will have to consume ten times more energy than normal."
"He is different from us. In front of a stronger enemy, a person can be defeated, but his heart cannot be defeated! Let him be, only in this way can he be Fang Zhenguo."
"However, people who face adversity grow faster. Look, Fang Yun's fingering has become more sophisticated. It seems that the two can only decide the winner in the fifth pavilion."
Amid the discussions of the crowd, Fang Yun slowly became familiar with the pressure of the second level of the Qin Dao and could occasionally play a few ripples.
Suddenly, the water waves within a mile radius began to vibrate faster, and some small fish in the water actually began to move towards Wei Yu, causing more dense ripples in the water.
Fang Yun was caught off guard, and his fingering immediately became chaotic, and he was once again in the dilemma of being unable to produce any sound.
However, Fang Yun did not look at Wei Yu. There was no fluctuation on his face, and no resentment in his eyes. He continued to adapt to the new changes in Danbo Pavilion seriously.
The other Jinshi candidates in Shangshe did not confront Wei Yu, but observed the two of them secretly.
After a moment, even the top Jinshi scholars affiliated with Kangshe or Liufengshe nodded their heads involuntarily, approving Fang Yun. Since everything cannot be changed, they should not waste any energy on it, but should use all their strength in the direction that can be changed.
Qiao Juze looked at Wei Yu, a sneer appeared on his lips. Wei Yu still didn't understand why others lived in Shangshe for a long time, but he was driven out by Ji Zhibai not long after he entered Shangshe. Wei Yu lacked this kind of "unmoved heart".
Looking at the other nine people in Shangshe, there are four who are hostile to Fang Yun, but so far no one has attacked Fang Yun himself. At most, they made negative comments on his poems and articles, which are not even criticisms.
They can fight for factions and interests, but they will never suppress Fang Yun in Lingyan Pavilion like Wei Yu did.
After all, we are all Jing people, scholars of Jing.
Fang Yun continued to play slowly and laboriously, failing over and over again.
Wei Yu turned his head to look at Fang Yun. He smiled coldly. His ten fingers suddenly became like silver needles piercing flowers, and it became dazzling.
"This is... a combination of accents that can only be learned by those who have reached the second level of the Qin Dao. It is played twice in a short period of time, but to the ear it is only one sound. But this sound is much clearer than ordinary Qin sounds. Especially when used in battle music, the power is increased by more than 50%!"
The moment Wei Yu used the accent string, all the fish in the lake suddenly became crazy, and then thin strands of blood emerged from the fish's bodies.
The ripples of the entire lake were as chaotic as boiling water. The fish blood spread along the ripples, changing the timbre of each ripple, so the force and fingering of playing the new ripples must be changed accordingly.
Wei Yu was not affected at all. Even though the ripples were more chaotic, the tune of "Song of Green Pine" he played did not change at all.
But Fang Yun couldn't do it. His fingering was completely messed up and he ended up just randomly tapping the water with his fingers. It was useless no matter how much talent he expended, because the speed and density of the ripples were far beyond what a person at the first level of Qin Dao could handle. Only those who reached the second level of Qin Dao would not be afraid of Wei Yu's power.
Qiao Juze said angrily, "Wei Yu, don't push your luck! Fang Yun didn't make things difficult for you in the three pavilions of hunting, horse riding, and etiquette. He just relied on his own strength to get through. But you maliciously obstructed him in this crucial Danbo Pavilion. Aren't you afraid that you don't have enough courage to become a Hanlin?"
The young Duke smiled and said, "Brother Qiao, since Fang Yun wants to expel Wei Yu, Wei Yu will naturally fight back. It is better for you and me not to interfere. As for the Hanlin... If Wei Yu is defeated by Fang Yun, it will be difficult for him to become a Hanlin in the future."
"Nonsense! If Wei Yu hadn't forced Chang Dongyun to deliberately fight for Shangshe and admit defeat, thus completely ruining his future, why would Fang Yun make things difficult for Wei Yu? In that case, I won't be polite!" After Qiao Juze finished speaking, he was about to stretch out his finger and press the ripples on the water.
"Brother Qiao, why bother?" Then he saw Shangshe Jinshi Ke Yuan looking at Qiao Juze and making the same gesture, as if he could play the ripples at any time.
"Brother Ke, are you going to stop me?" Qiao Juze glared at Ke Yuan.
Ke Yuan said helplessly: "I will not use such means to deal with Fang Wenhou, but the Kangwang Mansion has been very kind to me, so I must stop you."
"I didn't know the reason last night and I mistakenly helped the young duke. I owe Fang Yun, so let me repay him this time. Brother Ke, are you willing to stop?" Shangshe Jinshi Younian pressed his fingers into the water, his fingers only an inch away from the surface.
"When the lips and teeth are gone, our Liufeng Society will certainly not sit idly by and watch Kang Society being attacked. I'm sorry, everyone." Another scholar from the upper house was seen trying to play the music.
The young Duke smiled and said, "Four top scholars are fighting two against two. Once you use all your strength to play the waves, you will definitely be evenly matched. By then, the wave-playing lake will not only be ripples and chaos, but will definitely cause storms. You better think carefully."
Suddenly, a Jinshi said, "Last night I stopped Fang Yun's fight and agreed to go to Lingyan Pavilion together. Today, I will stop your fight and help Brother Qiao to suppress Wei Yu."
Qiao Juze breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that this Jinshi who majored in Mohism actually chose to defend rather than attack at this time.
"It is better for you not to interfere in this matter." Another senior scholar came out to help the young duke.
Three superiors faced each other, and the scene was like the eve of a storm, which could erupt at any time.
At this moment, Fang Yun's voice rang out.
"When I play the zither leisurely, the sound is clear, the rhythm is straight and the rhythm is slow. Lately I am gradually glad that no one is listening, because I know the high and low notes of the zither in my heart."
A strange force emanated from Fang Yun, and all the ripples within a ten-foot area around him suddenly changed dramatically. All the ripples formed by other forces disappeared immediately, and only the ripples formed by the original ten small fish remained.
Everything returned to the time when Fang Yun first entered the Tanbo Pavilion.
Wei Yuna's power at the second level of the Dao of the Qin was actually resisted by Fang Yun's poem.
Qiao Juze's eyes lit up, and he said, "What a good poem! Wonderful poem! Needless to say, the first two sentences are about playing the piano, but the third sentence changes the poetic meaning, no longer talking about how to play the piano, but about one's own piano heart! Don't compete with others, don't need others to praise you, and naturally you won't be slandered! Even if you are not as good at playing the piano, you can't admit defeat with your piano heart! Fang Yun is only in the first realm, but he has a piano heart, so he can lose but not be defeated; Wei Yu, who is in the second realm, can't suppress Fang Yun, so he can win but not be defeated!"
Younian said with a smile, "As expected of Fang Zhenguo, we almost caused internal strife in the upper house, but he was so good that he resolved Wei Yu's attack silently. The scholar's heart was broken and the scholar's courage was broken, and one realm finger blocked the song of two realms, great!"
Wei Yu's arms trembled slightly and he played silently, but the meaning of the song "Song of Green Pines" took a sudden turn, from the towering green pines to the dead trees in the twilight.
Soon, Wei Yu finished playing "Song of Green Pine" and disappeared on the spot.
But when he left, his eyes were filled with reluctance and anger. (To be continued...)
