The war hall is called a courtyard, but in fact it is a large square with a wall.
In front of us is an ancient hall. The gray-white stones that make up the hall are a bit rough, but they have a rugged and wild beauty. Combined with the rows of weapon racks near the hall, it seems to be able to arouse the fighting spirit in everyone's heart.
In front of the gray-white battle hall, there were many people standing.
Except for the two scholars from the War Hall, all the scholars who came to greet Fang Yun stopped outside the door.
Fang Yun nodded slightly to everyone and walked forward.
"Welcome Fang Xusheng!" Dozens of people in front greeted together.
"Good morning, everyone." Fang Yunlue bowed and looked carefully at everyone in the battle hall.
The fifteen people who participated in the three-valley battle have all arrived. The five scholars are all over sixty years old, headed by Kong Siyuan. Everyone can write three-level battle poems. The scholars cannot use verbal battles, so the realm of the battle poems plays a decisive role.
There is no doubt that Fang Yun is the leader among the Jinshi scholars, and Kong Mingji is apparently the leader among the Hanlin scholars, but the truly strongest one is the armless Hanlin Peng Zouchao. It is said that Peng Zouchao was actually able to become a Grand Secretary last year, and has been suppressed until today just for the three-valley battle.
Unfortunately, those who passed the Sangu Lianzhan can be promoted to Jinshi, and Jinshi can be promoted to Hanlin, but Hanlin cannot be promoted to Grand Secretary, because once promoted to Grand Secretary, they will be moved out of Sangu.
In addition to those who participated in the war, the majority of the people in the front were blue-robed university scholars, numbering more than twenty.
Scholar Guo stepped forward and introduced everyone present to Fang Yun one by one.
Among them, fourteen grand secretaries stood together with Grand Secretary Guo.
Each time the Sangu Ancient Land is opened, each side can only send out thirty people. If more than that are sent in, they will be repelled by the powerful force.
In addition to the nine contestants, the six candidates, and the other fifteen were all university scholars, who were responsible for protection, because the lives of the great scholars had already touched the edge of the holy way. At the very least, they would be rejected by the Three Valleys Ancient Land, and at the worst, they would be attacked, similar to Denglongtai.
The fifteen university scholars were all ready to go, each with a lake shell on their waist. They were extremely well prepared.
He Qionghai, a great scholar in the War Hall, said in a clear voice: "The three-valley battle is related to the rise and fall of the human race and the monsters, especially this time, it is of great significance. For this three-valley battle, the War Hall has prepared the best cultural treasures. You can choose your own, follow me."
Fifteen people immediately followed He Qionghai. After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at a side hall.
There was no one guarding this place. He Qionghai held the seal of the War Hall Elder in his hand. An invisible force appeared and the door to the treasure house burst open.
Fang Yun took a closer look and saw that the first floor of the treasure house was like a library, with rows of treasure shelves neatly arranged. He didn't know how many treasures there were.
The moment the sun shone into the treasure house, Fang Yun seemed to hear thousands of gentle chirps. Not cheers, not sadness, but like soldiers receiving orders and obeying orders!
Wenbao is made by scholars of the human race with all their talents, which is equivalent to sacrificing a scholar's life's hard work. Each Wenbao is branded with the spirit of a scholar.
"There are no Juren literary treasures in the War Hall's treasure house. The first level is the Jinshi literary treasures. Five Juren can choose here. The rest of you follow me upstairs."
Fang Yun walked towards the stairs while glancing at the treasures on the treasure shelf.
There are a large number of cultural treasures, including brushes, ink sticks, inkstones, pen holders, pen washers, zithers, chess, books, paintings, etc. There are even some rare types, such as crowns, feather fans, incense burners, etc. These rare cultural treasures were formed under special circumstances. Some are very poor, while others are very good.
When they reached the second floor, He Qionghai said, "All the Hanlin scholars here are treasures. The five Jinshi scholars will stay here, and the rest of the Hanlin scholars will go upstairs with me to select the treasures of the Grand Secretary."
Fang Yun glanced around casually. There were far fewer cultural treasures here than on the first floor, but each one was a masterpiece.
Fang Yun had already chosen to use the three treasures, the Mist Butterfly, the Ink Girl, and the Inkstone Turtle, so he looked at them while walking, without choosing. Even if he wanted the Hanlin Wenbao, he would not choose from here, because when the Void Saint was conferred, the Hanlin Wenbao presented by various noble families amounted to hundreds, and except for a few lent to private soldiers and Jinshi, most of them were kept in Yinjiangbei.
When the other four Jinshi were selecting their literary treasures, Fang Yunshen entered the Wen Palace and observed carefully.
All four talents have reached ten inches, the peak of Jinshi.
In terms of literary mind, the light of the literary mind that can be used for two purposes will decrease when it is in use, while the other literary mind lights are slowly growing stronger.
One's talent will improve as his literary rank increases, and his luck will not be taken into consideration.
The best quality writing comes from the scholar going to the Book Mountain. The light of literary mind is located on a glass lamp. It was originally just a bean of light, but now it has grown to the size of a walnut. It seems that something is gestating inside and is about to break out of the shell at any time.
Legend has it that a superior literary mind can develop into a saintly literary mind, but no one knows how it is formed. Fang Yun also doesn't know what will happen after he is promoted to a saintly literary mind through writing quickly.
Fang Yun was full of anticipation for the saint's writing, because the saint's literary mind was extremely powerful.
The literary talent of saying one thing and thinking another is what the candidate gained from studying in the Book Mountain. In terms of usefulness, it is not as good as writing quickly, but it has miraculous effects at the right time. Fang Yun also uses it frequently, and the light is slowly growing, but its growth is far less than that of writing quickly.
Things like the Poetry Tripod, Medical Classics, Legal Code, Historical Records, Military Books, Wen Palace Starry Sky, and Wen Dan are gradually becoming stronger.
Fang Yun looked up at the sky, his eyes piercing through the Wen Palace and falling on the giant golden dragon. The dragon coiled around the Wen Palace, forming a powerful protective force. Fang Yun had tried to use strange wind and weak water to attack his Wen Palace, but they were weakened by 50% by the giant golden dragon, which showed how powerful the coiled dragon was.
Finally, his eyes fell on the right side of the wall of the Wen Palace. There was a small square hole concave inwards on the wall. Inside the hole was a golden throne. On the throne was a bright star. That was the star position of the Demon Ancestor transformed by the power of the Demon Ancestor. It was equivalent to the star position of Confucius and was also one of the strongest star positions that the human race can obtain at present.
Two full hours passed before everyone had chosen their treasures and walked out of the War Hall's treasure house together.
After leaving the treasure house, Fang Yun saw an old acquaintance, Green-robed Dragon Marquis Ao Qingyue. However, Ao Qingyue was no longer a Dragon Marquis. He had been promoted to Dragon King, and would henceforth be called Green-robed Dragon King.
The etiquette of the dragon clan is not as complicated as that of the human race. After Ao Qingyue greeted them, he said directly: "After selecting the cultural treasure, we will grant the star position. You go to other places. Fang Xusheng and I will find a room to read the imperial decree to confer the title of dragon, and then grant the power of Grandpa Longsheng to Fang Xusheng."
Those scholars showed envy, even the university scholar was no exception, the star position of the East Sea Dragon Saint was much stronger than theirs.
The clerk from the War Hall took Fang Yun and Ao Qingyue to an empty room and left.
Ao Qingyue took out a piece of holy dragon scale, held it in both hands, looked at Fang Yun, and said: "The original ceremony of conferring a title on our dragon clan was extremely grand. Every time a title was conferred, it would attract congratulations from all realms. But that was a long time ago. Since the Dragon City was breached, our dragon clan has lost the etiquette of conferring a title, so let's keep it simple."
Fang Yun nodded to show his understanding.
Ao Qingyue took a deep breath and said, "Human race Fangyun, with great talent and unrivaled beauty, can recite the sound of the Great Dao, leap over the dragon gate; write the poems of the emperor, and give birth to dragon souls. He was born when the dragon race was weak, and was favored by the true blood of the ancestor dragon. He is a friend of the dragon race and has done a great favor to the dragon race. He can be granted the title of Wenxing Dragon! The four seas respect him, and all the dragons congratulate him!"
