Everyone walked forward steadily without saying a word.
Fang Yun took a closer look. The style of this corridor did not seem like that of a human world. The patterns and carvings on both sides were obviously new, but gave people a sense of vicissitudes.
Fang Yun knew that all this was created by Cui Sheng's thoughts.
Although the records in the books are not very detailed, Fang Yun knows that after becoming a semi-saint, a literary world will emerge.
The literary world is extremely unique and has many wonderful uses. After the death of the saint, the literary world will become a space between reality and illusion, and will be managed by the descendants of the semi-saints. However, even the descendants of the semi-saints cannot master all the mysteries of the ancestor's literary world.
Taking the Zhuge family as an example, Zhuge Liang's descendants have always known that Zhuge Liang has hidden a part of the literary world. If the descendants are qualified enough, they can enter the literary world and obtain the inheritance of Zhuge Bansheng. If they are not qualified enough, Zhuge Liang's relics will be sealed.
Zhuge Liang's Yi Dao treasure Eight Diagrams and Gong Jia treasure Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse have never appeared in the world.
Many treasures of semi-saint families were lost everywhere due to the lack of ability of their descendants, which made some semi-saints unwilling to hand over all their treasures to their descendants.
At the end of the white corridor is the Gate of Light. After passing through the Gate of Light, everyone found themselves in a huge lecture hall that was exactly the same as the Sishui Courtyard of the Confucius Academy. There was also a gate of light at the entrance of the lecture hall.
Sishuiyuan is the place where Confucius gave lectures.
Fang Yun walked with everyone towards the gate of Sishuiyuan. After taking a few steps, he heard a subtle sound behind him. Looking back, he saw more than thirty people wearing Jia country's civil service uniforms appearing here.
The rest of the people from Jing Kingdom also noticed that Patriarch Cui stopped and turned to look at the Semi-Saint Patriarch who was leading the Jia Kingdom team.
"Brother Li!" Cui Wenzhuo bowed with a smile.
"Brother Cui." Li Ming, the head of the Li family, said and then smiled at Fang Yun, "Greetings, Fang Xusheng."
"Hello, Mr. Li." Fang Yun returned the greeting to the descendant of Li Daoyuan, the author of "Annotations to the Classic of Waterways". Li Daoyuan is still alive at this moment, but he had long left Shengyuan Continent to explore the starry sky.
Everyone in Jia Country was nervous at first, but they were relieved when they heard Fang Yun call himself a student instead of pretending to be a virtual saint.
A newly promoted scholar said with a smile: "Brother Fang, we finally meet again today after parting at the Holy Ruins."
Fang Yun looked in the direction of the voice and said with a smile, "Liu Huiyuan, thank you for your help in the discussion."
“Brother Fang, you are too polite. If you hadn’t helped me pass the third corridor in the Holy Ruins, I wouldn’t be where I am today.” Liu Kui said.
Several Jinshi in Jiaguo looked strange. Liu Kui was a genius from the Liu Xiang family. He was very young and was a popular candidate for the future four great talents. It was nothing to know Fang Yun. But, the Lei family was also in Jiaguo!
Among the three groups of Jinshi in Jia State, namely new, young and middle-aged, there are five members of the Lei family!
The number of people in the Xusheng family is actually larger than that of the Semi-Saint family, which shows how prosperous the Lei family has been in recent years.
Cui Wenzhuo saw that the atmosphere was not right and smiled, "Time waits for no one, let's go first."
"Everyone, take care."
The scholars on both sides greeted each other and then separated.
The five members of the Lei family were the most unwilling, but they had no choice but to bow to the Jing people in an orderly manner.
After everyone from Jing Kingdom left, an old scholar who was nearly fifty years old slowly said, "In the Ten Kingdoms Competition, Jia Kingdom lost to Jing Kingdom, and if we lose to Jing Kingdom in the Spring Hunt, I can't afford to lose face, and neither can you! If anyone doesn't do his best in this Spring Hunt, I will punish you severely after you leave the Spring Hunt, no matter who you are!"
The person who was speaking had a sallow complexion, slightly gray temples, and a sinister and unkind look.
The old man's name is Lei Li, and he is the poetry maniac of the Lei family. Moreover, he did not practice the scholar's war poem to the third level, but practiced a juren's war poem to the third level!
The battle poems of the three realms of scholars are only equivalent to the battle poems of Jinshi, but the battle poems of Juren are equivalent to the battle poems of Hanlin!
There are less than ten people in the human race who can practice the Juren War Poems to the third level before the age of fifty. Moreover, this person has also practiced two Jinshi War Poems to the second level, and their power is equivalent to that of Hanlin War Poems!
Lei Li was not only good at war poetry, but his ancient sword was also integrated with half a dragon bone. It was said that he had a chance to become a university scholar, but because he made a mistake, he was exiled to the ancient land of a deserted city by the Lei family. He was forced to practice war poetry and verbal battles to save his life. He almost gave up the holy way and bore hatred for decades.
Liu Kui glanced at Lei Li without saying a word. He had known for a long time that as long as Lei Li led his men to defeat Jing Guo, the Lei family would not only cancel the charges, but also let Lei Li take over the family. He offended the Lei family by helping Fang Yun on the list, but he didn't care. The Lei family was not worth him saying something against his will.
Li Ming nodded and said, "Everyone, if you rank high this time, it will not only help the Jinshi and Hanlin of Jingguo, but also allow you to enter the Hanlin Hall many times! I hope you will not make unnecessary troubles."
There was a soft but firm edge to Li Ming's words.
After walking out of Confucius' literary world, Fang Yun felt his body sink and he hurriedly steadied himself. Most of the others showed slight abnormalities.
This is a place without sunshine. The sky is covered with thick leaden clouds, the brightness is approaching dusk, and the whole world is filled with a decadent and gray atmosphere.
Fang Yun looked around and found himself in an open-air hall, but the hall seemed to be cut in half, leaving only the ground, broken walls and broken pillars, and the broken ends were as smooth as a mirror.
Fang Yun looked around and saw a lot of buildings in front of him. Their style was not like that of humans, but more rough and primitive. However, they all had one thing in common: the upper part of the buildings seemed to have been cut off by a sword.
This is the ancient deserted city.
The ancient land of deserted cities is larger than the Shengyuan Continent. There are hundreds of abandoned ancient cities of all sizes. However, these ancient cities are very peculiar. There is no grass growing on them, no dust on them, and they are always clean. However, no matter whether it is the great scholars or the semi-saint clones who investigate, they cannot find out the reason.
In the end, everyone could only regard this place as a special alien site.
But even in this desolate city where not a blade of grass grows, there are many strange or magical objects, and it is a place that humans and monsters must fight for.
The most important thing about the ancient deserted city is the deserted city maze!
Someone once said that there is a maze under every deserted city, but only about a hundred mazes have been discovered so far, and most of them have not been found.
Many of the sacred objects of the saintly families were obtained from the labyrinth of the deserted city. The reason why Zhuge Liang's wooden ox and flowing horse became a semi-saintly treasure is not only because it contains the sacred art of craftsmanship, but also because it is mixed with a special sacred object from the labyrinth of the deserted city.
So even though the Ten Kingdoms now also had wooden oxen and flowing horses, they were just ordinary means of transportation, while Zhuge Liang’s wooden oxen and flowing horses were a large army of mechanical machines!
There are a total of 360 deserted cities, of which 142 belong to humans and 218 to monsters and barbarians. Due to the constant fighting between the two sides, this number changes frequently.
There is only a deserted city on the Hunting Ground Island, and this deserted city has a peculiar hundred-mile-long bridge leading directly to the land.
Everyone can only travel to and from the Hunting Ground Island through that bridge. Anyone who attempts to travel to and from the Hunting Ground Island by water will die!
Because there was only one road to the Hunting Ground Island and it was heavily guarded by human troops, even the only half-saint and a bull-barbarian saint in the ancient land of the deserted city returned empty-handed.
The holy creatures from the outside world can never enter the ancient land of the desolate city, and the monsters and barbarians who are canonized in the ancient land of the desolate city can never leave.
Thousands of years ago, the demons and barbarians discovered the ancient wasteland, but they did not pay much attention to it because only one semi-saint had been born here in thousands of years, and it was considered unsuitable for cultivation. It was not until the human race discovered the secret of the wasteland maze that the demons and barbarians took action to drive the human race out of the ancient wasteland. (To be continued...)
