The Path of the Sage

Chapter 89: A stroke of genius

Views:

Fang Yun sighed and said, "In fact, I was inspired by An Chengcai and the snake demon, and I plan to write a novel about humans and demons. This one thousand taels is just a deposit. I plan to donate all the income from this novel to the An family and Lujia Town to help them rebuild their homes."

"So that's how it is! I never thought you were so kind and righteous. You are indeed a true gentleman. I am ashamed of myself as you are! Please accept my greeting!" Ning Zhiyuan bowed solemnly to Fang Yun, but was helped up by Fang Yun.

"No, no, this is what I should do." Fang Yun knew very well that a book could earn at most tens of thousands of taels of silver, which was insignificant compared to the remaining fragments of "Peach Blossom Spring" and the drop of holy blood of the dragon that he didn't know if it could be used or not. After all, he got a great deal, not to mention that the money he would earn from writing books in the future would be more than he could spend.

Wen Zhenghuan on the side praised: "Good! This is the style of a famous scholar. I heard that you gave all your books to Xuanting Bookstore for sale?"

"Yes." Fang Yun replied.

"Then I will go there in person and persuade them to only take half of the share, and donate the rest to Lujia Town and the An family."

"The old Hanlin is kind-hearted." Everyone praised him.

After leaving Lujia Town, everyone got on the bus. Wen Zhenghuan informed the officials who had not gotten off the bus that Fang Yun was going to write a book and donate money to Lujia Town. Those officials immediately praised him because Fang Yun's behavior satisfied both "benevolence" and "righteousness", which few people of his age could do.

Fang Yun did not feel complacent. He felt that this was what he should do. While others were talking, he thought about the plot of his new book in the car.

"Since it's a love story between a human and a snake, I'll adapt The Legend of White Snake. But I can't write it now. I'll spend more time on it after I pass the imperial examination. I already have Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen, so it's no problem to add Xiaoqing, but Fahai must be replaced by a scholar of high literary status."

"Who will be Fahai? He is dedicated to subduing demons and monsters, and he is also extremely talented. Li Wenying seems to be the most suitable. But... if I really write him as Fahai, will he block me at the entrance of the literary college after school with a pen in hand? Forget it, I'd better write Cai He as Fahai. He is far away in Ji County and will not block me at the entrance of the literary college."

Hundreds of armored ox carts drove towards Dayuan Prefecture, raising a cloud of dust along the way, which was quite spectacular. The armored ox cart carrying the corpse of the demon turtle was particularly eye-catching.

The speed of ox cart A was very slow among the hills, but it was very fast on the flat official road, and the team was getting closer and closer to Sanshili Pavilion.

When there were still ten miles to go, Nunu, who was sleeping in Fang Yun's arms, suddenly woke up, and all the Jinshi and Hanlin in the caravan looked puzzled. Then they gave an order, and the two eagle demon soldiers and an eagle demon general on the armored ox cart at the back soared into the sky.

Fang Yun stood at the door of the carriage and looked up at the sky. He saw that in addition to the three eagle monsters that had just flown into the sky, there were two more eagle monsters. It seemed that those Jinshi and Hanlin scholars had noticed that there were enemy eagle monsters spying on them.

Soon, the eagle demon swooped down and shouted, "We found a large number of demons and anti-species scholars ambushing ahead. They also discovered us and started arguing. Some wanted to leave, and some wanted to fight. I heard them mention Fang Yun's name."

Everyone in the carriage looked at each other.

"Could it be that they already knew that Fang Yun had become a scholar before the Holy Emperor, so they sent someone to kill him?"

"How many people are there? Why didn't they flee when they saw thousands of government troops? Is there a demon marquis or a rebellious imperial scholar among them?"

The Eagle Demon General said, "They have no Demon Marquis, but two Demon Commanders and three Jinshi of the reverse race, as well as more than ten Demon Generals and more than twenty Juren."

Everyone knows that the blood-stained robes of the rebellious scholars are just like the robes of the scholars, with obvious differences, and they are rarely worn randomly. However, the blood and energy of the demon clan can be easily distinguished from their strength.

Chen Xibi analyzed: "Their eagle demons can't see us in the carriage, and don't know our number and our rank. They just think we are ordinary government troops. Their people are equivalent to five Jinshi and more than 30 Juren. The entire government army is far from their match, so they certainly won't run away."

Wen Zhenghuan snorted coldly and said, "As expected of one of the four great talents of the past, Feng Chengjue is indeed amazing. He found out that Fang Yun was a Saint-Premier Scholar so quickly and took action! It's a pity that they calculated the route Fang Yun would take, but didn't expect us to be there too!"

Fang Yun broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that it was a good thing that he wrote a poem about strengthening the army and a poem about war yesterday, which attracted Li Wenying's great attention, and led to the visit of high-ranking officials such as Gezhou Mu and Wen Zhenghuan. Otherwise, even with Nunu's reminder, he would not have been able to escape the pursuit of so many monsters and rebellious literati.

However, Fang Yun then laughed along with the officials present.

"This is a God-given opportunity!" several Jinshi said in unison.

"I didn't expect that the rebellious scholar would actually fall into the trap. Fang Yun, you are indeed a lucky general of my human race!" Chen Xibi laughed.

"If we can completely wipe out these rebellious scholars, Fengcheng will no longer have any rebellious scholars available, and the threat to Fang Yun will be greatly reduced!" Gezhou Mu said with a smile.

"Feng Chengjue is really smart all his life, but confused for a moment! Little bird, you go and observe again. If they try to escape, tell me immediately." Wen Zhenghuan said to the eagle demon general.

"Yes, sir!" The eagle demon general immediately flapped its wings and flew high.

Everyone in the carriage began to gather their strength and prepare for a big fight.

The eagle demon general in the sky never said anything, which meant that those rebellious literati had not yet decided to escape.

After a while, Chen Xibi said, "Order all the cars to stop and use the armored ox carts to form a defensive battle formation! They will naturally rush over! Fang Yun, you go to the door of the carriage and let their eagle monsters see you all the time. They must have your portrait."

Fang Yun then realized that he had overlooked this point, and thought to himself that he was worthy of being the general. If he rushed over directly, those people would naturally be suspicious. Now forming a formation to protect himself would be seen by those rebellious literati as holding on and waiting for rescue, and they would most likely come to kill him.

Soon, the eagle demon came down and said that the rebellious scholar was coming with all his strength.

"Everyone, be prepared to sit back and wait for something to happen." Chen Xibi said with a smile.

"It's like catching a turtle in a jar!"

"It's like closing the door and beating the dog."

Everyone was waiting quietly in the carriage with smiles on their faces, only Fang Yun showed his head from time to time and pretended to be panicked.

After a while, Fang Yun saw many rebellious scholars and monsters wearing blood-stained clothes appearing on the road ahead.

Among them, a lion demon commander who is as tall as a man and a wolf demon commander are extremely eye-catching. A strong blood energy emanates from their bodies, and their fur is gradually turning blood color, forming a powerful protective ability. This is the talent of the demon commanders. They can do many incredible things by relying on their blood energy.

The two demon commanders were so majestic that they looked like demons descended to earth.

Even though the soldiers knew that there were many important figures on their side, they were still afraid. The scholars had to write inspiring poems to dispel the panic in the soldiers' hearts.

The two demon generals stared at Fang Yun together.

Fang Yun was terrified and felt the threat of death even though they were very far away. The two demon generals were far less powerful than the demon turtle in terms of defense, but they were definitely not inferior to the demon turtle in terms of lethality.

"Ah..."

The two demon generals roared in unison and rushed to the front, followed by many demon generals, and then the rebellious Jinshi and Juren.

All the rebellious literati had smiles on their faces.

"It seems that even the heavens are helping us. These palace soldiers are nothing but rotten wood and withered grass. No one can stop the two demon commanders. Maybe the two demon commanders can kill Fang Yun without us doing anything."

"It was right that he didn't leave before. If he had escaped before, Fang Yun would have been on guard and it would have been difficult to kill him in the future."

"By the way, two demon commanders, please do not eat Fang Yun. He is Lord Feng's food!" one person shouted.

“Roar…” the lion demon commander shouted in dissatisfaction.

Just as the two demon generals were about to rush to the front of the formation, a strong aura of talent suddenly emanated from the carriage where Fang Yun was, and at the same time, the vital energy of heaven and earth within a radius of dozens of miles rapidly rushed there.

The two demon generals were so frightened that they stopped in a hurry.

A rebellious scholar shouted, "What's going on! Is there a Hanlin hiding there? Don't be afraid, kill Fang Yun first!"

"No, there are at least four Jinshi scholars in there besides the Hanlin! We've been ambushed!"

The carriage where Fang Yun was located exploded in all directions, and then all the rebellious literati saw that a Hanlin and eight Jinshi were just talking about war on paper, and they were all nearing the end.

However, the old Hanlin Wen Zhenghuan was different from other Jinshi. A piece of paper and a brush were floating in front of him. His hand was clearly not holding the pen, but the pen was still floating in the air, automatically writing a war poem.

Hanlin kills the enemy, a stroke of genius.

While Wen Zhenghuan was writing the war poem at his inspired stroke, he was also reciting it fluently.

Fang Yun's eyes lit up. No wonder Gezhou Mu wanted to be a Hanlin so much. With this stroke of genius, the strength of a Hanlin would be several times stronger than before. This stroke of genius was truly amazing.

Almost within two breaths of the carriage exploding, all the war poems were completed.

Wen Zhenghuan wrote "War Cavalry on the Frontier" with a stroke of genius, and the shadows of a hundred heavily-armored cavalrymen appeared, holding shining spears and charging straight at the two demon generals.

The first thing he sang fluently was "Song of Killing Demons", and he slashed at the Lion Demon Commander with a lightsaber.

The other eight Jinshi also showed their abilities, and the power formed by the eight war poems fell on the wolf demon commander at the same time.

The two demon generals were immediately overwhelmed by the terrifying attack and suffered severe damage.

Then, a Hanlin and eight Jinshi scholars exchanged verbal attacks at the same time, and seven swords and two guns were fired at the same time, completely killing the two demon generals who were covered in wounds.

Everyone was stunned. Those were two demon generals, equivalent to two Jinshi, and yet they died just like that.

“Run!”

The rebellious scholars never had any sense of loyalty, so they all turned on their protective cultural relics and fled.

However, one Hanlin and eight Jinshi also had literary treasures, so the three Hanlin literary treasures and six Jinshi literary treasures, together with the nine verbal spears, attacked the three escaping rebellious Jinshi.

Fang Yun thought that this was really bullying, because no matter in terms of strength or numbers, his side was completely crushing them.

Even though the three rebellious scholars had protective treasures, they could not withstand so many attacks and died in the blink of an eye.

Wen Zhenghuan said, "Kill!"

The ancient sword that he had condensed over many years of talent passed through the necks of the monsters and rebellious scholars one after another at a speed faster than sound. In just a dozen breaths, more than a hundred rebellious scholars or monsters were all killed, even though most of the rebellious scholars had protective treasures.

Fang Yun then realized how powerful the old Hanlin was. That ancient sword of talent had been condensed through decades of refinement, so even if there were a thousand candidates, it would not be enough for the old Hanlin to kill in one go.
