Views:

One person asked curiously, "Master Hu, what kind of war painting did you send? Can you tell us?"

Hu Moyuan smiled and said, "You'll know when Fang Shuangjia returns."

Everyone was speculating, after all, Hu Moyuan only painted one war painting a year.

After bidding farewell to everyone, Fang Yun placed most of the paintings on the carriage and walked towards the Academy of Literature holding Hu Moyuan's battle painting.

Now many people in the College of Literature already know him, and he kept nodding or bowing to others along the way.

When he arrived at Moxiangshe, Fang Yun heard Li Yuncong and others talking before he even entered the house. The tone of their voices was different from before.

"It is said that something happened at Qushui River. It was not a demon general, but a demon commander. It is said that a scholar was almost poisoned to death. Fortunately, he was brought to justice in advance. In order to avoid being attacked by the poison, two others had their right arm cut off and their left leg cut off. Almost everyone was injured. It was particularly miserable. It is said that the fragments of a great scholar's obscene writings were found. I don't know which semi-saint's famous writings were before they were canonized. Unfortunately, they were polluted by the blood of the demon saint."

Fang Yun became interested when he heard that it was an obscene article written by a great scholar before he was canonized as a semi-saint.

If the writings of great scholars are placed in the house, the lingering sound will echo in the room during the day and shine brightly at night. All monsters will retreat away. It has incredible power.

But the demons are equally magical. The blood of powerful demons has various effects. Once the blood is used to pollute the famous works of great scholars or saints, the polluted works can be used by the demons and have the same powerful power.

Fang Yun entered the room and saw five of his classmates with worried looks on their faces. They were very worried about the candidates who would be awarded the imperial examinations.

"Has the demon commander been caught?" Fang Yun asked.

"No, it escaped into the Yangtze River. It is said that Lord Yuanjun went there in person but could not find it. Alas, it is said that the snake demon was injured and slaughtered two villages to recover from the injury. Then it fought with those scholars who killed the demon. If it had no injuries, I am afraid that all the scholars would have become its food."

"What's that in your hand?"

"A painting." Fang Yun said.

No one asked any more questions and continued talking about killing the monster.

"I heard that the people who died in those two villages were particularly miserable. Some were eaten alive, some were half-eaten, some were beaten into meat paste, and some were dried in the sun."

Li Yuncong sighed, "The government troops cleaned up the place, and Lord Yuanjun also came in person with Chen Sheng's famous article. It is said that they went straight into the Yangtze River and destroyed twelve monster caves in succession, forcing a dragon monster king to leave. That section of the river was dyed red, and the water surface was full of monster corpses. Many people were fishing out the monster corpses to sell for money, and the government troops are stepping up to buy them back."

"The demon clan is so hateful! I will study in the state academy for three years. If I fail to pass the imperial examination, I will immediately go to the Yuhai City army to kill demons! Even if I pass the imperial examination, I will only study in the state academy for one year, and then kill the demons and barbarians!" Lu Yu said angrily.

"Let's go together!" The other five people responded together.

"I really hope there are still some fish that have escaped the net so that we can kill them! I can't wait any longer!" Ning Zhiyuan said gritting his teeth.

Not long after, Mr. Wang arrived and his face looked unhappy too.

After lunch in the afternoon, Fang Yun took the revised "Early Plum" into Mingjing Hall to find Li Wenying.

Li Wenying looked very bad today, but seeing Fang Yun still smiling, he asked, "What's up, is there any clue?"

"Yes. Your Excellency's poem is very good. I thought about it for a long time yesterday. There is only one word that can be changed."

"Oh? Which word?"

"Please have a look, sir."

Fang Yun said this as he handed over the rewritten "Early Plum Blossom", changing the original "several branches bloomed last night" to "one branch bloomed last night".

Li Wenying was originally in a bad mood, but when he saw this sentence, his eyes brightened.

"What a great Fang Zhenguo! It's true that several branches have opened, but it's not early enough after all. Only this one can be considered truly early! You really have a unique vision, and you can be regarded as my teacher." Li Wenying said with a smile.

"Your Excellency is too kind." Fang Yun said.

Li Wenying picked up his pen to write a new poem "Early Plum". When the poem was finished, it was two and a half feet long and had already become a poem of Dafu.

"I will ask my friends to recommend this "Early Plum" to the Academy of Literature, and note that the word "one" was changed by you. Your "The Pillow Book" was written late, and I did not recommend it last month. In a few days, I will recommend it together with "Butterfly Loves Flowers in Spring" and "Humble House Inscription" to "The Holy Way". Xiao Yi's "Light and Dark in the Painting" counts as half a chapter, and this "Early Plum" counts as half of your poem. Together, it can be regarded as four articles shining together, which is unprecedented! I want to see if you can break the "Five Articles Heaven"! I want to see when you will publish a supplement to "The Holy Way"!"

"I'm afraid you will be disappointed." Fang Yun said with a smile.

Li Wenying looked at Fang Yun carefully and said, "Everything depends on human effort. I see that your eyes are bright and you are full of talent. Your talent is close to ten inches, right? It is too difficult to become a scholar in front of the emperor, but you will definitely become a scholar in this year's provincial examination. Do you have the confidence to win the first place in the scholar examination?"

"I will work hard to become the best scholar."

"It's good to have this intention. When you pass the exam and become a scholar, remember to ask your classmates for advice before you go to the Book Mountain. Even if they don't remember the situation at that time, it will always be helpful to you."

Fang Yun asked: "I would like to ask you a question, can you help me understand the literary mind?"

"I only picked one." Li Wenying said with regret.

"Your Excellency is indeed a rare talent. It is said that anyone who can find a literary mind among the mountains of books will most likely become a great scholar."

Li Wenying shook his head and smiled, "I didn't get it from the mountain of books, but from the sea of learning when I was a Jinshi, and it was only of the lower grade. You are different. You really couldn't get the literary heart when you were a scholar, but you will definitely get it when you are a Juren! I am very optimistic about you, and even the Minister of Literature is optimistic about you. If Chen Sheng comes out of seclusion, he will definitely find a chance to see you in person. The Minister of Literature even said that your luck is the hope of Jingguo, and may even be the hope of the human race. But because of this, you need more tempering, so unless others want to kill you or destroy your literary way, we will not take action."

"Students understand." Fang Yun said solemnly.

"Okay, I'm a little tired today. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me directly."

"Thank you, sir!" Fang Yun withdrew, thinking that the Grand Secretary had been baptized by talent many times, and he would be full of energy even if he stayed up all night, without food or drink, for a whole month. However, Li Wenying admitted that he was tired, which showed how dangerous yesterday was.

Fang Yun returned to Moxiangshe and continued reading.

As the days passed, Fang Yun never forgot to study hard, and his talent was becoming more and more solid.

Fang Yun had two private seals carved for him, one was "Fang Yun Seal" and the other was "."

The scholar class was originally able to kill the monster on the 15th, but because of the monster leader, the time for the scholar class to kill the monster was postponed.

The Academy of Literature was on holiday on the ninth day of the ninth month, so Fang Yun went to the Fang Clan School to teach two consecutive classes. The students were extremely happy, but Nu Nu was still at the door learning to recite with the students, and he still could only pronounce the sound "嘤".

On April 20th, Fang Yun continued to study at the provincial academy. In the afternoon, Mr. Wang notified everyone to go home and prepare for going to Mi County to kill monsters the next day. After learning that Fang Yun was going, he gave Fang Yun a book called "Killing Monsters" compiled by the academy. The book was 200 pages long and consisted of three large volumes.

Fang Yun flipped through the pages at random, and got a headache when he saw that there were no punctuation marks. He decided to read it through first and put it in the strange book world to read it again in the strange book world.

After school in the afternoon, Li Yuncong was worried about Fang Yun, so he said he would go to Fang Yun's house in the evening to bring Fang Yun some necessary things for killing monsters. He had already experienced killing monsters four times this year and was very experienced.

After returning home and having dinner, the family began to prepare for Fang Yun's first monster-killing mission. Only the little fox was very unhappy. He looked at Fang Yun sadly, fearing that something might happen to him.

Li Yuncong came over in the evening and brought a lot of things, including medicine cloth, anti-malaria medicine, gold wound medicine, sealed water bamboo tube, ink bamboo tube, insect repellent powder, fire stick, coarse linen clothes, mountain boots, moisture-proof cloth and a large backpack containing all these things.

In addition, you also need to bring the four treasures of the study, which are like weapons for soldiers and will be used in battle when the time comes.

After everything was packed, Fang Yun tried to carry it on his back. It would be very strenuous for an ordinary person to carry this thing, but after he had undergone two baptisms of talent and was finally granted the Thunder Holy Sound by a semi-saint, his body was no weaker than that of a new scholar, so it was easy for him to carry it.

Just after five o'clock the next day, the sun had just risen from the east, and Fang Yun came to the door carrying a large backpack.

Yang Yuhuan rarely took the initiative to hold Fang Yun's hand, reluctant to let him leave.

"Xiao Yun, don't be impulsive. Killing monsters is their job. You just need to watch from behind."

"Sister Yuhuan, I understand. Besides, when have I ever been so brave?"

"Well. Then take a closer look and don't forget what to bring."

"I've checked it for the third time, and it's really fine."

Yang Yuhuan continued nagging for a long time before sending Fang Yun to the car.

In the cool morning light, Fang Yun stood on the front of the car and waved.

Yang Yuhuan was standing at the door in a white dress with floral patterns, with a furry white fox at her feet. One of them was waving her hand, and the other was waving her claws. This scene was deeply imprinted in Fang Yun's mind.

Fang turned around and entered the carriage, with Tan Yu and Nie Shi guarding both sides of the carriage.

With a "crack", Fang Daniu cracked his whip and shouted, "Go!"

As the ox cart moved forward, Yang Yuhuan suddenly turned around and secretly wiped her tears.

This was the first time the two of them were separated. She had been holding back, but now she finally couldn't bear it anymore.

“Oh, oh, oh…” The little fox suddenly lay on the ground weakly, looking at Fang Yun sadly.

Just as the carriage was about to reach the intersection and turn, Nunu suddenly shouted loudly: "Yingying! Yingying!" and then he rushed towards the carriage with his short legs at incredible speed.

Yang Yuhuan reached out to stop him, but slowly withdrew her hand, quickly wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and watched Nunu jump onto the carriage and rush into the carriage.

Fang Yun looked at Nunu who had jumped into his arms, stroked its head, and said with a smile, "Can't bear to leave me?"

Nunu nodded vigorously, with tears in her eyes.

"Okay, stop being so willful and go back. We are going to go out into the wild. What if the monster that captured you is waiting for you? What will you do?"

Nunu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly raised his two front legs and bent them like human arms, pretending to be very strong.

"Let's go back." Fang Yun said.

Nunu shook his head.

"If you don't go back, I'll spank you."

Nunu still shook his head.

Tan Yu outside the car said, "Master, this little fox is more intelligent than ordinary demon soldiers. It's better to take her with you when you go to kill demons. She knows how to survive in the wild better than us humans."

"Oh! Oh!" Nunu immediately nodded vigorously, wagging his big tail.

Fang Yun thought so and said, "Okay, I'll take you with me."

"Oh! Oh!" Nunu shouted excitedly and struggled hard to get into Fang Yun's arms.
