The Path of the Sage

Chapter 440: Yishan Pavilion

Views:

Fang Yun smiled slightly. Generally speaking, even if a top scholar passed the fifth pavilion, he might not be able to get forty chips.

Among the current students in the academy, there are only two who have more than forty chips in the Lingyan Pavilion.

One is Ji Zhibai, the current county magistrate of Ning'an County. He is a rare genius in recent years. He passed the Lingyan Pavilion Seven Pavilions in the Juren Lingyan Pavilion, but was slightly worse than Yan Yukong. Ji Zhibai participated in the Jinshi examination in the capital last year, and won the first place in Jingguo in the joint examination of the Jinshi examination. He was then assigned to Ning'an County to participate in the palace examination.

His governance in Ning'an County was very effective, and everyone knew that once the palace examination was over, he would definitely become the top scholar in Jingguo.

In the first month after becoming a Jinshi, Ji Zhibai was admitted to the Lingyan Pavilion and went straight to the sixth pavilion, shocking the ten countries. Such a genius is rare even in semi-saint families.

The other one is Qiao Juze, who is good friends with Fang Yun. He was the top scholar in Jing Kingdom two years ago and will enter the Holy Academy soon.

Fang Yun stepped into the fifth pavilion, the Yishan Pavilion.

Passing through the mist, you can see a range of mountains, some thousands feet low and some tens of thousands feet high. White rivers flow through the mountains, and green trees are like new clothes draped on the peaks.

But Fang Yun was looking down at the mountains.

Fang Yun suddenly discovered that he had turned into an extremely huge giant. Even a thousand-foot-high mountain in front of him was only up to his knees.

Not far to the right, Wei Yu, who was also of huge stature, was seen frowning and thinking.

There were also mountains in front of Wei Yu, but in front of the mountains was a large army of barbarians.

The barbarian army was the same size as normal, but there were more than ten thousand of them, and they were marching forward with all their might, attacking Wei Yu.

Fang Yun knew that once the barbarian army rushed to Wei Yu through the mountains, Wei Yu's body would shrink, and unless he could kill all the barbarians, he would not only fail, but also suffer the pain of being attacked by the barbarians.

Unlike other pavilions, the fifth pavilion cannot exit on its own. Once it fails, it will be extremely painful.

Wei Yu took a deep breath, stretched out his hand forward, and with a surge of energy, he saw a mountain in front of the barbarians and a mountain farther away rising at the same time and quickly exchanging positions.

After the two mountains were set, the new peak in front of the barbarians was even steeper. The barbarians could not climb quickly, so they had to take a detour. Soon they came to a shallow river.

The barbarians crossed the river and moved forward. When the army was halfway across, Wei Yu suddenly moved a mountain on the right. Without any obstruction, the long-accumulated flood rushed forward.

The barbarians were in chaos, and the twenty demon commanders attacked the flood frantically, but Wei Yu had planned for a long time, and the speed and volume of the flood exceeded the tolerance of these demon commanders. Thousands of barbarians were hit by the flood, either drowned or killed, and only those barbarians who were born with good swimming skills suffered minimal losses.

Wei Yu heaved a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Fang Yun. There was no more anger in his eyes, but a smile: "If I'm right, you don't have much talent left. With the temper of the little Duke, you won't let you pass smoothly. Your 'Danbo Pavilion' is at most six chips, right? You know this 'Mountain Moving Pavilion' without me saying much. It consumes the most talent! The reason why I can't pass the next 'Ink Sword Pavilion' is not because my calligraphy is not strong enough, but because I don't have enough talent! I'm not a genius like Ji Zhibai. If I'm not a disciple of a semi-saint family, it's impossible for me to pass the sixth pavilion."

"Indeed, the young Duke has caused me some obstacles." Fang Yun said.

Wei Yu smiled and said, "Since you will be defeated by me, there is no need for me to care about you. Even if you become a first-class genius or even a semi-saint in the future, what does it matter? I can always boast in my life that I defeated Fang Yun once! I drove Fang Zhenguo out of the Jingguo Academy! I, the son-in-law of the Lei family, did not let the Lei family lose the Denglong Stone! I, Wei Yu, am the winner!"

"Oh." Fang Yun kept silent and carefully observed the mountains in front of him.

Wei Yu raised his head, stretched out his right hand and made a virtual grab in front of him. With his talent surging, he was about to change the mountain and move.

Fang Yun suddenly said, "The young Duke failed to hit my wave-playing sound with his hands and was punished by the Saint's thunder. Eighty percent of the people in Kang Society and Liufeng Society were interrupted by my piano music and most of them were defeated in the fourth pavilion."

"You're talking nonsense!" Wei Yu's hand trembled, and the two mountains that were exchanging positions suddenly failed halfway and returned to their original positions. Not only was Wei Yu's talent wasted, but the mountain that had been moved would have to wait ten breaths before it could move again. However, the barbarian soldiers would definitely be able to climb that mountain within ten breaths, and the mountain where the barbarian soldiers were located could not be moved.

The barbarian soldiers climbed up the mountain that Wei Yu wanted to exchange, which seriously affected Wei Yu's plan.

"Isn't it the best evidence that I arrived at the Yishan Pavilion earlier than them?"

Fang Yun smiled indifferently and continued to observe the mountains in front of him.

Wei Yu's expression kept changing, and his ability to move mountains had obviously dropped significantly.

Fang Yun quickly memorized everything about the mountains in front of him. There were a total of 283 mountains, which coincided with the number of star officials recorded in the "Book of Celestial Officials and Stars" by Chen Zhuo, a great scholar of the Three Kingdoms period.

In order to facilitate star observation, astronomers in China and Shengyuan Continent grouped some stars together and named them "star officials", which has a similar meaning to constellations.

Fang Yun had read books a long time ago. These mountains were all different, but a strong mountain mover could exert infinite power.

Some of these mountains are steep, some are easy to climb, some are planted with a large number of trees forming fallen trees, some are harbouring poisonous insects, some are inhabited by a large number of wild animals, some have falling rocks, and some have waterfalls. Each has its own merits, but it is not only the mountains that are useful.

From the front of the mountains to Fang Yun's front, there is a total of fifty miles, and there is a river at twenty miles and forty miles respectively. The two rivers are the main force to kill the barbarians.

Students who enter the Moving Mountains Pavilion can use their talents to constantly exchange mountains and indirectly control the river to attack the barbarian army, but how to control it specifically has stumped countless students, especially when their talents are limited.

Everything in this "Yishan Pavilion" is closely related to Go, but many aspects of it go beyond Go. Students from various countries have made it into Yishan chess, which has been popular for a long time.

Fang Yun has been studying everything about Lingyan Pavilion these days. In addition to studying Go, which is most closely related to Yishan Pavilion, he has also studied other chess games such as chess, so as to learn by analogy.

This Yishan Pavilion places primary emphasis on the art of Go and secondary emphasis on military strategy. Fang Yun's two-pronged approach has brought his understanding of Yishan Pavilion to a new level.

The number of battle examples Fang Yun has learned far exceeds that of the human semi-saints. After all, he is familiar with the history of both worlds.

Before climbing the Lingyan Pavilion, Fang Yun had already thought of his own way of moving mountains.

Two rivers merge into one, and two dragons destroy the barbarians!

This method of moving mountains has actually been discussed many times by many students. It is very powerful, but the problem is that it consumes too much talent. Except for some military geniuses such as Han Xin, Chen Qingzhi, Zhou Yu, Sima Yi, etc., other students in Lingyan Pavilion cannot use this method of moving mountains. (To be continued...)
