Some people looked at Lei Jiu, while others were playing with the water-repellent beads in their hands and laughing. The fact that Lei Jiu was forced to jump off the building and flee because of Fang Yun's couplet had become a laughing stock among the Ten Nations. Although everyone knew that it was Lei Yuanting who dragged Lei Jiu to do it, Lei Jiu was the most famous, so naturally he should be blamed.
"Brother Lei, what you said makes sense. This time, the Dragon Platform is where we compete for the first place. Since that kind of person can't come, there is no need to say more. Now that we have entered the Dragon Platform, as long as we get a dragon's eye, we will grow rapidly in the future, and Fang Yun will definitely not be able to catch up."
"Fang Yunwen may be far better than us in a literary fight, but the situation is different in a literary battle. I'm afraid he doesn't even have a complete dragon bone. Anyone present can defeat him." Zong Ji said with a smile.
Some nodded slightly, but others disagreed.
At this moment, a turtle monster wearing a human robe swam over, but this turtle monster was more than three meters long, and appeared in the side hall like a house. His clothes could be used as a marching tent.
"Dear scholars, the Dragon Platform will be opened in half a minute. Please go to the main hall." The turtle demon's eyes turned green, without a trace of emotion in them.
Kong Detian stood up, bowed to the Turtle Demon King, and said, "Senior, our human race's luck has not yet arrived, can you give us some time?"
Just as the Turtle Demon King was about to speak, Lei Jiu immediately said, "As a scholar, it is impolite for you to not come after receiving the invitation from the Dragon Palace. It is unjust for you to not respect yourself when you are entrusted with the high hopes of the human race. You must have become arrogant and look down on others after having achieved a little success! Senior, let's go to the main hall as soon as possible. The opening of the Dragon Platform is full of uncertainties. We cannot let the entire human race be dragged down for one person."
"Brother Lei is right, and what Brother Detian said also makes sense. But helping Fang Yun is a small virtue, while being punctual and polite is a great virtue. I hope Brother Detian will think twice." Xun Rui said.
"Brother Xun is right." Zong Ji said.
Ji Shouyu from King Wen's family smiled slightly, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
The turtle demon king's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "Please go to the main hall immediately, no one will be waited for later!" Then he turned and swam towards the main hall, stirring up waves and making a splashing sound.
Kong Detian wanted to say something but stopped himself. He sighed lightly, then stood up, holding the water-repellent beads and walked forward with the others.
Lei Jiu, Zong Ji and Xun Rui walked forward with smiles on their faces and their heads held high.
After passing the long corridor, a water curtain appeared in front of us. Then we saw two shrimp guards arch their backs and open the water curtain like a waterfall. Some people found it interesting and looked at it for a few more times.
People walked out of the water curtain one after another and came to the main hall.
The first few people glanced at the main hall as they walked.
The main hall of the Dragon Palace is extremely spacious. It is a huge hall that is two miles long and wide, like a large square, full of jewels and precious stones. Even if all the treasures of the royal families of the ten countries were added together, they would not be as much as one tenth of the main hall of the Dragon Palace.
Corals, night-shining pearls, tortoise shells, pearls, etc., which are considered treasures by humans, are not even worthy of being placed here.
There are two huge tiger eyes on the top of the Dragon Palace, and a surge of demon saint pressure emanates from there. But it is filtered by the invisible force and becomes beneficial and harmless. The light formed by the two eyes is brighter than ten thousand night pearls.
On the innermost wall of the main hall, there is a mural called the Picture of All Saints. Under the stars, many demon saints are standing, such as the Jiao Saint, the Dragon Saint, the Wolf Saint, the Snake Saint, the Lion Saint, the Eagle Saint, etc., a total of 27 semi-saints.
In the center of the painting of all saints, there is a sub-saint of the elephant clan, with his trunk pointing to the sky and his tusks pointing to the ground. He is like the Lord of all saints, as if he could tear down the mural at any time and come down to change the world.
No one dared to look directly into the eyes of the sub-saint of the elephant clan, as if they would be killed if they just looked at him.
Everyone present knew a thing or two about the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea. This picture of all the saints was not a painting, but a collection of the Dragon Saints of the East China Sea throughout the generations. These saints were all sealed inside after being killed.
Once the Dragon Palace is in trouble, these twenty-eight demon saints will break through the wall and fight the enemy.
Behind the twenty-eight saints, there was a painting of an undulating mountain. Everyone present ignored the mountain, and no one thought there was anything novel about it.
Among all the treasures of the human race, only the authentic copy of "Spring and Autumn Annals" written by Confucius himself can be compared with the "Picture of All Saints" of the dragon clan.
However, even the sub-saint of the human race cannot unleash the full power of the "Spring and Autumn Annals". Except for the semi-saint of the Kong family, one must master a mysterious supreme literary mind to do so.
After seeing the legendary "Picture of All Saints", everyone felt shocked, some even felt slightly dizzy, and it took them a long time to regain consciousness.
"The human scholar has been brought here." The turtle demon king spoke.
A group of scholars from aristocratic families turned their heads to look at the dragon descendants and grandchildren in front of the Turtle Demon King, and everyone was stunned.
Among them, a few people led by Kong Detian were stunned and then smiled slightly.
Most of the others looked puzzled.
After Lei Jiu, Zong Ji and Xun Rui were stunned, a look of shame and anger appeared on their faces.
Fang Yun was standing there, chatting with the sons and grandsons of the emperor whose status was higher than that of the scholars from aristocratic families.
"As expected of Fang Zhenguo, he is always unexpected." Sun Renbing said with a smile.
Some scholars secretly looked at Lei Jiu and the other two and saw that they looked normal except that there was a hint of uneasiness in their eyes. Lei Jiu even clenched one fist as if he was trying to hide his anger.
Fang Yun turned his head to look at the human scholars after hearing the voice of the Turtle Demon King. He took a quick glance and found that he had never seen anyone except Lei Jiu. However, he felt that Kong Detian, Mo Shan, Zhang Zhixing and others looked familiar to him because Fang Yun had dealt with people from the Kong family, the Mo family and the Zhang Heng family many times.
These scholars are the top scholars in each family, living in the Holy Academy or in ancient dangerous places, and they will not even compete for the title of the Four Great Talents in the future. They are very famous in the Holy Academy, but their reputation is very small after leaving the Holy Academy, so Fang Yun has almost never met them.
Kong Detian took a step forward, bowed and smiled, "I am Kong Detian, nice to meet Fang Zhenguo."
"So it's Brother Detian. Delun often mentions you and says that you are his role model." Fang Yun responded with a smile.
"No, no." Kong Detian seemed to be very pleased, but Fang Yun knew that the other party would naturally not care about such flattery. It was just a courtesy, just like his own compliments.
"Ji Shouyu, nice to meet Marquis Fang Wen." Ji Shouyu, with a beard, bowed.
Fang Yun returned the greeting and said with a smile: "If the younger generation of the Ji family knows ten points about the Book of Changes, then eight points belong to Brother Shou Yu."
"Thank you!" Ji Shouyu answered promptly and clearly.
"Sun Renbing, I'm a young strategist. I heard that Brother Fang has made great achievements in military strategy. I will definitely ask for your advice in the future." Sun Renbing looked at Fang Yun with a somewhat fiery look in his eyes.
"They are all rumors, not reliable." Fang Yun felt helpless. It seemed that the Sun family had already known about his use of military books when he was in the army. With the power of the Sun family, they naturally knew that the military strategy was created by him. It was natural for Sun Renbing to ask for advice.
"My name is Zhang Zhixing. I've seen you, but you've never seen me. What a pity, you could have been my brother-in-law." Zhang Zhixing was still playing with the armillary sphere in his hand.
Fang Yun instinctively glanced at the armillary sphere, then smiled and said, "Brother Zhang and I have been friends for a long time. When we return to the capital, we will definitely have a drink together."
"It's settled then." Zhang Zhixing said with a smile.
Li Longxiao said, "First of all, I would like to thank Fang Zhenguo for writing the poem "The Arrow in the Stone", describing the power of my ancestor Li Guang's arrows, and summoning the holy soul of my ancestor. Secondly, I must compete with you in hunting!"
Fang Yun laughed and said, "Okay, let's have a hunting match when we have a chance!"
There were only nineteen Jinshi from aristocratic families present. They introduced themselves one after another. Finally, even Zong Ji and Xun Rui had to introduce themselves out of courtesy.
As for Lei Jiu, he didn't say a word from beginning to end.
"Brother Lei, today is better than ever since we last met in the capital." Fang Yun greeted seriously.
Lei Jiu glared at Fang Yun, then squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "The winner will be decided on the Dragon Platform!"
Some Jinshi lowered their heads and chuckled, even some of the emperor's descendants were laughing.
The little yellow dragon laughed and said, "Are you the Lei Jiu who jumped off the building? How stupid! Why did you go after Fang Yun when there are so many people you could go after? By the way, did you come up with the second line of the line 'Smoke locks the pond willows'? Little Spider?"
Everyone almost laughed out loud. Lei Jiu had come up with the first line of a couplet that day: "A parrot can speak but cannot be as good as a phoenix", and Fang Yun came up with the second line: "The spider is clever but not as good as the silkworm", and the little yellow dragon actually remembered it. He even teased Lei Jiu.
Lei Jiu blushed. Others didn't know the identity of the little yellow dragon, but he recognized it at a glance. Not to mention him. Even the head of the Lei family didn't dare to be disrespectful to the little yellow dragon. He didn't dare to answer, suppressing all his resentment in his stomach, and then glared at Fang Yun viciously.
"Stop talking nonsense here. If you can't find the relics of the Ancestral Dragon after entering the Dragon Platform, I will peel off your scales!" The Green-Clothed Dragon Marquis slapped the little yellow dragon hard.
The little yellow dragon was slapped to the ground, but he was not angry at all. He struggled to stand up and said proudly, "Sister Yuwei said that when I enter the Dragon Platform, I can unlock a seal. Then I will be promoted directly from Demon Commander to Demon Marquis. At that time, I will also be Dragon Marquis. If I get any benefits on the Dragon Platform, my cultivation will definitely surpass yours. I will be the first one to beat you when I come back!"
The little yellow dragon groped each other with its two small paws and looked at the green-clothed dragon marquis with ill intentions.
The expression of the Green-robed Dragon Marquis changed, and he said, "I will go and collect some Ice Sea Dragon Shells for you right away, and this matter will be settled!"
The little yellow dragon said proudly: "Okay, twelve ice sea dragon shells, I won't bully you in the future."
"No, three!"
"Six!"
"Four!"
"Deal!" The little yellow dragon said and quickly wiped the ambergris from the corner of his mouth.
Fang Yun's eyes lit up. Although ambergris is the saliva of a dragon, it is a treasure. Especially this little yellow dragon's breath is very much like that of a real dragon. His ambergris must be extraordinary. It's a pity that he couldn't get it, so he could only give up.
The Green-clothed Dragon Marquis nodded, his expression changed, and he looked at everyone seriously, saying: "The Dragon Platform is far away in the endless void, and only the Four Seas Dragon Palace can take the various races in. My East Sea Dragon Palace is only responsible for the entry of the human race and my East Sea Dragon Clan, and the other three seas Dragon Palaces are responsible for taking the demon generals of the demon barbarian saints. That's right, the demon generals entering the Dragon Platform this time are all saints, the biological children of the demon barbarian saints!"
Everyone nodded to show that they understood.
"Dragon Stage is different from other places. It suppresses all forces that can harm the young dragon, so no one can use the Holy Blood. As for the powerful forces such as the Great Confucian True Text, they cannot be used either. In the end, you have to rely on your own strength. If you are afraid, you can give up now."
No one responded.
"Well, now I'll give each of you a Dragon Stone." The Green-Clothed Dragon Marquis said as he grabbed and threw out of his sleeves. Nineteen flat, round stones the size of fists flew out and flew towards the nineteen Jinshi from aristocratic families.
Then the Green-clothed Dragon Marquis reached into his sleeve again, this time taking out only a Dragon-ascending Stone and throwing it towards Fang Yun. (To be continued...)
