The Path of the Sage

Chapter 554: Introspection, knock on the door

Views:

Nunu was startled, then he looked at the dragon-headed turtle curiously. His eyes rolled slightly, and he suddenly stretched out his right front paw as if hunting, grabbed the turtle's neck and lifted it up, looking left and right.

Yan Gui was stunned. Such a rare treasure was actually caught in the hands of a little fox. How could he bear such a great humiliation!

The Inkstone Turtle opened its mouth and started biting. Its biting technique was perfect and neither the Evil Dragon nor the Black Dragon could avoid it. But just as it was about to bite Nunu's right front paw, Nunu's left front paw suddenly slapped out and hit the Inkstone Turtle hard on the head.

"Snapped… "

The Yan turtle was bewildered, for it had once eaten a whole ancient dragon turtle!

The angry Ink Turtle opened its mouth to bite Nunu again, but Nunu's little claws were faster than lightning and hit the Ink Turtle's head with another claw.

Yangui blinked and looked at Fang Yun even more confused, as if he wanted Fang Yun to explain what was going on.

Fang Yun smiled slightly and said, "Nunu did a good job!"

"Ohhh!" The little fox grinned. Fang Yun's praise was the best compliment to it.

Yan Gui suddenly closed his eyes and did not move.

"Hmm?" Nunu cried out twice in confusion, as if he was afraid of strangling the turtle to death, so he loosened his claws. With a clang, the turtle fell on the table, still motionless.

Nunu circled around the ink turtle a few times and poked it with his little paws, but when he found it didn't move, he lost interest and walked towards Fang Yun's arms with an elegant cat-like step.

The turtle suddenly jumped up and bit Nunu's hind leg.

Nunu was clearly not prepared, but he seemed to have eyes behind him. He kicked hard and accurately on Yangui's forehead, causing Yangui to somersault several times. If Fang Yun hadn't stretched out his hand to block it, it would have fallen under the table.

Yangui stared at Nunu blankly, finding it hard to imagine that a fox could be so powerful.

Nunu looked back at Yan Gui with disdain. Then he jumped into Fang Yun's arms, raised his head and cried, asking Fang Yun for credit.

"Well done! If this little turtle refuses to obey you in the future, you can beat him up! You must not let him eat my inkstone or ink sticks, and you must not let him run away!"

"Hmm!" The little fox straightened his chest and raised his head, indicating that he would definitely do it.

The turtle looked at Fang Yun and the little fox angrily, its eyes rolling around for a long time, and then seemed to find that there was nothing it could do, so it simply shrank back into its shell in a huff.

The black dragon parasitized in the inkstone pool of the turtle shell and hesitated for a moment before flying out to fly towards Nunu, but the inkstone turtle suddenly stretched out a claw and slapped the black dragon back into the inkstone pool.

The black dragon lay there helplessly, not daring to move.

Fang Yun stroked Nunu while looking at Yangui.

Strange objects have spirits. Among the four wonders of the study, except the Holy Page, the Ink Girl, the Pen Old Man and the Inkstone Turtle all have a high degree of autonomy. It is impossible for them to be tamed by humans like the Mist Butterfly. They only treat humans as partners.

If it were an ordinary ink turtle, it wouldn't be so unruly. But this ink turtle was in the shape of a dragon turtle, and it was unknown to what extent it was magical. Fang Yun didn't think it would obey in a short time.

Fang Yun sat on the chair and closed his eyes. He began to recall the scenes that happened on Denglongtai, just like doing homework, holding a brush and writing the famous sayings of Zengzi on a piece of white paper.

I examine myself three times a day.

After writing these six words, Fang Yun's demeanor became more relaxed, and he began to list the key points of his memory on paper.

"When I met Kong Detian, there were some flaws in the etiquette. Normally, you don't need to worry about it. But it was a mistake during the 'sacrifice'."

"I didn't master the battle poem 'Dream Battle in Wind and Rain' well enough. In that case, it should be delayed for half a breath. It's mainly due to my lack of combat experience."

"Kong Detian is really extraordinary in his dealings with others. He never interrupted me and Yun Nongzhang when we were talking. Moreover, when he was listening to me, he never looked around but kept looking at me. This made me feel his sincerity. It is a detail worth learning."

"I wasn't calm enough when I met Di Luo. I was shocked by his power and my emotions were completely controlled by him. Even if he is a great saint, I shouldn't be influenced by him!"

"After obtaining the blood of the true dragon, there is too much nonsense. We should cut the Gordian knot!"

"In the battle with Shiwang, the first combo was too hasty, and the power was at least half weakened. But the third combo was a lucky coincidence. The frequency of the combo, my own intentions, and all aspects reached the peak, and the power increased a lot. I must remember the process of the third combo, break down every link, and then thoroughly understand the reason why the power of the third combo increased."

"When I heard the news that the Moon Tree Divine Punishment had been launched, no matter how well I tried to hide it, I was still confused. But..."

Recalling the time when Jiang Hechuan told him the news about Yue Shu's divine punishment, Fang Yun's hand moved slightly, and the ink from the tip of the pen penetrated the paper and continued to expand.

"You're still not determined enough!"

Fang Yun sighed softly, but did not continue to deny himself. Even a great scholar could not remain calm before the Moon Tree Divine Punishment, and would inevitably have various negative emotions.

It is impossible for great scholars or even semi-saints to completely eliminate the weaknesses of human nature and their own desires, and it is impossible for them to be perfect in life, but the reason why they are at the top is that they can achieve perfection at the most critical moment!

They are often not particular about details because they have great ambitions and more importantly, because they have the ability to control themselves and external things!

Fang Yun took a deep breath, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, and re-read the shortcomings and advantages he listed. Remembering the shortcomings may not necessarily prevent you from making the same mistake next time, but it can reduce the chances of making mistakes. Remembering the advantages may not make them become habits immediately, but it will make your words and deeds closer to the advantages.

Fang Yun casually put the paper aside. The motionless inkstone turtle suddenly poked its head out, opened its mouth and sucked. All the black words on the paper flew out of thin air and flew into the inkstone turtle's mouth.

Yangui looked at Fang Yun with a sidelong glance, a smirk on his face, and then retracted his head.

Fang Yun did not expect that the inkstone turtle would absorb useless ink. After a little thought, he suspected that it absorbed not only the ink, but also the energy he put into writing.

Fang Yun closed his eyes and rested, ready to wait for Yang Yuhuan to call him for dinner.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

The knocking sound was extremely strange. It was clearly the knocking on one's own door, but the sound was like the morning bells and evening drums, and like the earth-shaking mountains, continuous and endless. It seemed that the knocking was not on an ordinary door, but the door to heaven and earth, the door to all things.

Fang Yun had an illusion. If he didn't open the door, not only would he die, but the entire capital would collapse.

The knock on the door contained a will and majesty that no one could resist.

Nunu was originally lying lazily in Fang Yun's arms, but when he heard the knock on the door, his fur stood up and his eyes were full of vigilance.

The inkstone turtle suddenly stuck its head out and listened for a moment, then quickly retracted its head.

Fang Yun was frightened. He put Nunu on the table and walked out of the study quickly. From the corner of his eye, he saw that the servants in the house were busy and did not hear the knock on the door at all.

A trace of sadness appeared on Fang Yun's face, and then slowly disappeared.

Fang Yun came to the gate, opened it, and saw an extremely tall man in white standing with his back to him.

The man in white was two heads taller than Fang Yun, and was tall even among the barbarians.

This man was tall and broad-shouldered, wearing a white waisted brocade robe. Just by looking at his back, Fang Yun felt that this man's figure was simply perfect, full of masculine beauty, and he was a first-class handsome man.

This person had his hands behind his back and stood tall, like a mountain blocking the way.

Students outside the door came and went, but no one looked here, as if that person and Fang Yun did not exist at all.

"Fang Yun greets the senior." Fang Yun bowed and saluted.

"The true blood of the Ancestral Dragon is not yours. Give it to me, and you may be rewarded handsomely in the future." The man's words were extremely simple and made people feel particularly comfortable to hear.

Fang Yun's hand involuntarily reached for the Yinjiangbei, wanting to give it to the person in front of him. But the moment he touched the Yinjiangbei, Fang Yun suddenly stopped, with cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

"What a terrifying power!" Fang Yun was secretly shocked.

"Hmm?" The man made an ambiguous nasal sound.

Countless names flashed through Fang Yun's mind. Then he bowed and said, "Senior, your presence is a great honor to me. I know very well that the Ancestral Dragon Blood is of little use to me, and it would be a crime to possess it. But... I don't know why the Ancestral Dragon Blood took the initiative to enter my Dragon Palace. Even if I have the ability to reach the sky, I can't command the Ancestral Dragon Blood. If you really want this blood, you can collect the body for me after the Moon Tree God's punishment is over."

"I want it today," the man said.

"I'm sorry, it's not that I'm reluctant, but I really can't give it to you."

"Then... I'll take it myself!"

The man turned around slowly. Fang Yun wanted to see his face clearly, but suddenly there was a dazzling golden light in front of him, followed by endless blue waves, and then a sea of blood.

Afterwards, Fang Yun found himself in darkness, with a dull pain in his head that was increasing rapidly. His Wen Palace vibrated slightly, and his Wen Dan burst out with powerful force, as if instinctively protecting himself, but all the Wen Dan's power fell into nothing.

“Ahhh!”

Fang Yun suddenly heard Nunu's cry in his ears, and then he heard a dragon roar from the east, which sounded very much like Ao Huang's cry. At the same time, the entire capital city suddenly shook slightly, and suddenly from the direction of Chen's old house in the west, a vast and boundless aura penetrated the heaven and earth and enveloped the capital city.

"That's all..."

Fang Yun blinked, the darkness disappeared, and the man was still there, still with his back to him.

The man took a step forward, as if he was the king ruling the world, and took one step up to the ninth heaven, appearing in the distant sky in an instant.

Fang Yun only felt that all the white clouds in the sky seemed to have become his subordinates, and were gathering towards him.

Through the white clouds, a huge dragon shadow could be vaguely seen appearing and then quickly disappearing.

But the man's voice continued to echo in Fang Yun's ears.

"Since you are so ungrateful, I and you are done with each other! You will not live past the third day of December!"

Fang Yun stood there in a daze, staring blankly ahead.

The students outside the door continued walking, and at this time someone suddenly noticed Fang Yun, so everyone greeted Fang Yun together and said words like congratulations to Fang Yun.

Fang Yun thanked him with a smile, then turned and went back to the house.

The servants in the house were still busy with their own things and no one knew what had happened.

Fang Yun returned to the study and found Nunu sleeping on the desk, with a slight snoring sound coming from her nose, which was particularly cute.

The inkstone turtle has not shown its head yet and is motionless. (To be continued...)
