The Path of the Sage

Chapter 561: Evil spirit

Views:

Fang Yun glanced at the people outside the door and soon found that many of them were members of the Meng family whom he had met in Kongcheng. However, the looks of these people were a little strange, not too much resentment, but full of defense.

Finally, Fang Yun looked at the blue-robed university scholar and recalled the important figures in the Meng family.

Before the rise of the evil king, the Meng family was in decline and did not even have a great scholar. It could be said to be an extremely miserable family.

The Meng family has four Grand Secretaries, three of whom are over seventy years old. Only Meng Tong is a young Grand Secretary over fifty years old, who has just been promoted for less than five years and is about the same age as the person in front of him.

Meng Tong has thick eyebrows, a square face, and seemingly calm eyes, but he is like a person looking at the sea, unaware that there are dragons hidden beneath the sea.

Fang Yun bowed and said, "But is it Grand Secretary Meng Tongmeng?"

"That's right, you are Fang Yun Fang Zhenguo?" Meng Tong didn't even look at Fang Daniu, but looked directly at Fang Yun.

Fang Yun and Meng Tong looked at each other and saw that Meng Tong's eyes moved slightly, like a giant dragon awakening in the sea, caressed by the waves, containing a huge crisis, and he might go out to sea to patrol the sky at any time.

A unique aura of a university scholar emanated in all directions, and everyone felt as if they were surrounded by sticky glue, their thinking was slow and their brains were dull.

"It's the student." Fang Yun's tone fluctuated slightly, his eyes dimmed a little, but then slowly became bright again, and finally the brightness remained at 95% of the original, while the eyes of the others dimmed by three points.

Even the light from the real dragon scales on Ao Huang's body had faded a bit.

Ao Huang rolled his eyes and snorted, but he did not dare to offend the Grand Secretary.

"You have eliminated the evil spirit for the Meng family and cleared Lin Tang's name. I would like to thank you on behalf of the entire Meng family!" Meng Tong said as he bowed 90 degrees. His waist was parallel to the ground, and the rest of the Meng family followed suit.

Fang Yun thought to himself that this was not good. But he took a few quick steps, rushed forward and lifted up Meng Tong. He said, "No, no..."

But Meng Tong was a Grand Secretary, and Fang Yun could not entrust him to any position, so he could only accept the greetings from these people.

Meng Tong stood up straight with a faint smile on his face: "Fang Zhenguo has been very kind and generous. The Meng family has no way to repay him. I have brought the 'Sun-Splitting Brush', a great scholar's treasure that was once used by Meng's ancestors, as a gift to the benefactor of the Meng family!"

Meng Tong said as he took out a pencil case from the shell. Then he opened the pencil case facing Fang Yun.

"Huh..."

A light red righteous energy rushed out from the pen case, splitting the sky and clouds, making continuous sounds of breaking through the air, rising thousands of feet up, and people within a few miles could see it clearly.

Fang Yun took a closer look and saw a medium-sized Xuan brush in the pen box. The pen holder was slightly worn and the bristles were not neat, but the whole brush was shrouded in a light red aura of righteousness. It exuded an indescribable majesty, like a king among pens.

There are two black small seal characters on the pen holder.

Split the sun.

This pen is very famous.

When Meng Sheng became a great scholar, the Wu Kingdom royal family gave this pen to Meng Sheng. At that time, it was not called Lie Ri. One day later, when Meng Sheng led his army to fight against the barbarians, they were surrounded by the magic of the Great Barbarian King that covered the sky and the sun, and there was only a dim and pale sun in the sky.

In times of crisis, I got a great scholar's war poem by the divine hand. After the poem was finished, I went straight into the three realms to summon the saint. It tore apart the dark magic and injured the great barbarian king, just like splitting the sun, so the last poem was named "Splitting the Sun".

Meng Sheng was invincible with the help of "Splitting Sun", and won every battle. Later one day, because the Wenbao pen had written too many "Splitting Suns", the war poems originally sealed in it were replaced by "Burning Sun", and finally the pen was renamed "Splitting Sun Pen".

The righteous energy was originally white, but because Meng Sheng had used this pen to kill too many people, it was stained with the blood and energy of the barbarians. If this pen is used to write war poems, the power against the barbarians will be enhanced by an additional 20%.

It can be said that the Sun-Splitting Pen is not only a symbol of the Meng Saint, but also a symbol of the Meng family.

The Meng family without the Sun-Splitting Pen is not a complete Meng family.

But the Meng family just gave him the Sun-Splitting Pen.

The moment he saw the Sun-Splitting Pen, Fang Yun understood.

No matter how powerful the Sun-Splitting Pen is, it is just an ordinary cultural treasure of a great scholar. No matter how significant it is, it will eventually decay after many years.

But dragon ginseng is different!

An ordinary mature dragon ginseng can extend a person's life by more than eighty years. If it is the dragon ginseng that grows on the Dragon Platform, it is very likely to extend a person's life by more than a hundred years!

As long as the Meng family can cultivate a great scholar, even if he cannot reach the level of a top scholar, but is only a first-rate scholar, as long as he lives another hundred years, he will have an extra 30% chance of being canonized as a saint!

A 30% chance of canonization is enough to make all the saint families crazy!

Therefore, the evil king was willing to exchange it for the Sun-Splitting Pen, the symbol of the Meng family. This meant that the Meng family was willing to let go of everything in the past and reconcile with Fang Yun, just for a dragon ginseng!

Fang Yun suddenly remembered the ambiguous words in the letter from Zeng Yuan, Kong Detian and others. Those words might refer to many things, but Long Shen must be one of them!

The reason why the holy families did not take the initiative to act was because it originally belonged to the Meng family, and the Dragon Clan was also eyeing it covetously. Once the Dragon Clan and the Meng family were unable to compete for it, the other families would definitely take action!

A lifespan of a hundred years increases the chances of becoming a saint by 30% for a first-rate scholar, but for a top scholar, the chances increase by at least 40%!

Even for Confucius' family, 40% is a huge number.

Fang Yun originally knew that dragon ginseng was precious, but after seeing Meng Tong's attitude, he had a more accurate understanding.

Now that the evil king is dead, not to mention the Meng family, even the semi-saints are powerless to save the situation. At this time, the Meng family simply took advantage of the situation and blamed all the evil deeds of Menglin Hall over the years on the evil dragon. As long as they can get the Yinjiangbei and the dragon ginseng in Menglin Hall, the Meng family will have a chance to rise.

Fang Yun did not expect that the Meng family was so cunning. They threatened Fang Yun at first, and later found that Fang Yun did not respond at all. The dignified semi-saint family sent the highest-ranking university scholar to apologize. This was giving enough face and also forced Fang Yun into a corner.

If Fang Yun still does not hand over the dragon ginseng after being treated in this way by the Meng family, then the Meng family can list Fang Yun as an enemy of the aristocratic family without any scruples, and then openly unite with other Jinshi scholars to fight Fang Yun, until Fang Yun is defeated or even his literary talent or palace is destroyed.

However, Fang Yun is now facing the punishment of the Moon Tree God. Once Fang Yun dies, there will be problems with the handling of his relics. At that time, the dragon ginseng is likely to become a must-fight item among the holy families, which will be extremely disadvantageous to the Meng family.

Fang Yun said: "You are too polite, Grand Scholar Meng. This is the property of the Great Master Meng, and it is an important inheritance of the Meng family. How can I take it for myself? Please take it back. I will never accept it."

Meng Tong closed his pencil case, and his righteous spirit dissipated.

"Mr. Fang, what do you mean?" Meng Tong said slowly. His eyes were like real waves, forming a powerful pressure.

Ao Huang suddenly showed his white teeth and said, "If you want to talk, just talk. If you want to fight, just fight. Don't use your literary status to suppress us, human!"

Meng Tong's eyes moved, and he slowly restrained his breath.

Fang Yun said: "I don't know what you are here for. I am stupid, can you remind me a little?"

"Just pretending!" someone behind Meng Tong whispered.

Meng Tong said: "My Meng family is willing to use the 'Sun-Splitting Pen' to exchange for the things of the Meng family that were taken away by the evil demon."

Fang Yun sneered in his heart. The Meng family was really insidious. As long as they insisted that the Evil Prison Dragon was behind all this, they would not have to bear any responsibility and all the benefits would go to the Meng family.

"I would like to ask, when did the evil demon begin to control the evil king?" Fang Yun asked.

Meng Tong said: "According to our guess, Lin Tang has been fighting against the evil spirits. Sometimes he is awake, and sometimes he is completely controlled by the evil spirits, thus doing all kinds of evil things. In the past few days, our Meng family has confessed to each family and returned all the things taken by the evil spirits to the victim families."

"Good excuse. Then how can you be sure that the person in Denglongtai is the evil king and not a demon?" Fang Yun asked.

"Sima He and Zong Ji believed that the person who stole the dragon ginseng was Lin Tang, not the evil demon." Meng Tong said.

Fang Yun really couldn't look for Sima He and Zong Ji. Not to mention that both of them were his enemies, the main reason was that the Evil King at that time was indeed not completely controlled by the Evil Dragon.

Fang Yun immediately said, "The evil king made a deal with the demons and colluded with the enemy of the human race. He was almost a traitor. Later, he joined forces with the demons to kill me. Not only was he not controlled by the evil demon, he also controlled the evil demon to kill me. What should I do about this?"

Meng Tong said: "You misunderstood. When I killed you, it was the evil demon that controlled Lin Tang."

"What evidence do you have?" Fang Yun said.

"Because if he had not been controlled by the evil spirit and committed all kinds of evil deeds, he would have already gone against the race long ago. Has he gone against the race?" Meng Tong asked.

Fang Yun stared into Meng Tong's eyes and said slowly: "The reason why the evil king was defeated by me is because of his rebelliousness. His literary courage was broken and his literary palace collapsed!"

"You're talking nonsense!" several young members of the Meng family shouted in unison.

"If you don't believe me, you can take me to the Holy Temple and swear an oath in front of the wooden code of Shang Yang, the merchant saint, to distinguish the true from the false. With my ability, I can't deceive the holy text of the half-saint."

Meng Tong was silent.

It was quiet in front of Fang Yun's house, with only the winter breeze blowing past.

Under the power of the holy temple, the capital city was not cold even though it was almost the coldest time of winter.

Not far away stood many Jinshi from the Holy Academy, including several Jinshi from the Upper House. Fang Yun's good friend Qiao Juze watched quietly.

After a moment, Meng Tong said: "He rebelled before his death, but everything he gained before his rebellion belongs to my Meng family."

Fang Yun suddenly smiled softly and said nothing.

The door of No. 1 Upper Dormitory fell into silence again.

Fang Yun slowly raised his head, looked directly into Meng Tong's eyes, and suddenly a sound as loud as a bell or drum, and as sharp as a sword came out of his mouth.

"What we get from killing the rebels is ours! Not to mention your Meng family, even if all the saints are here, it's still mine!"

The power emanating from Meng Tong was like melting snow in spring, and was completely defeated by Fang Yun's voice.

"Fight for your rights!" Qiao Juze said.

Many Jinshi nodded and smiled, but the Meng family members looked unhappy. The Grand Secretary Meng Tong looked like he was choked, but he quickly returned to normal.

Ao Huang said with a grin, "Arrogant! This is Fang Zhenguo! Whatever he gets is his, no matter if it belongs to the evil king or the evil dragon, now they all have the surname Fang! Fang Yun, let me speak for you, can you give the Ancestral Dragon's True Blood to our East Sea Dragon Palace?"

When Ao Huang mentioned the Ancestral Dragon Blood, everyone around him changed color. For any tribe, the Ancestral Dragon Blood was more important than the Dragon Ginseng. It was the Ancestral Dragon's thing. If any secrets were discovered, the effect on the tribe would be far greater than increasing one person's lifespan by a hundred years. (To be continued...)
