Chapter 92 (1/2)
Fang Yun took the invitation and found nothing special. Like the previous invitation to the conference, it was obviously not arranged by Li Wenying.
Feng Zimo, the gentleman of the mansion, said, ”since Lord Li invited you, it must have deep meaning.”
Yu Xingshu said, ”based on my understanding of Lord Li, the word 'try our best' is not his original intention. If Lord li really wants you to go, he will directly invite you, and I'm afraid he asked his entourage to say so because he was entrusted by others.”
Fang Yun said, ”since Lord Li values it so much, go and have a look. However, Lord Li only said I would go, not let me participate in the dragon boat race, right?”
Everyone was stunned. Feng Zimo said with a smile, ”you're smart. However, the color head of the dragon boat race has always been not small. It's even getting bigger and bigger these years. You'd better participate.”
”What color can you have?”
”In the past, the two countries each produced a cultural treasure as a color head, and Lord Li added a piece of dragon blood ink this year. Naturally, Qingguo did not show weakness. He even took out a” mountain chessboard ”and shouted that Lord Li was stingy and asked yuhaicheng to take out more treasures as a color head.”
”Mountain and river chessboard? They are really willing.” Fang Yun said.
The material of the mountain chessboard is a rare stone in Qingguo. The stripes on the stone have the geographical trend of mountains and rivers, and they have no magical power. Once it is made into a written treasure chessboard, once the chess game is launched, it can turn a mountain and river to trap the enemy.
Go Wen Bao is quite special. The chessboard, sunspot and white son each become a Wen Bao. The three in one is a complete go Wen Bao. It's useless to take it out alone.
In the hands of ordinary chess players, the power of a set of go Wen Bao is not much different from that of an ordinary Wen Bao. In the hands of experts who are proficient in go, a set of go Wen Bao can play several times its power.
However, go, like Danqing and zither, requires years of learning and practice, and will spend a lot of time and energy. Unless someone is very talented in this regard, it's better to learn the holy classics.
Qingguo can only produce four or five qualified mountain and river chessboards a year. Even refining into Hanlin Wenbao is not a waste, and its value is much higher than a dragon blood ink ingot.
”Are you interested?” Feng Zimo said.
Fang Yun said, ”before I practice calligraphy to the fifth level, I won't study piano, chess and painting deeply. It's OK to have a try occasionally when I'm relaxed. That mountain chessboard is of no great use to me.”
”That's not necessarily true. You've shown your talent. Maybe you can make achievements with a little effort in piano and chess. You can't keep a good piano and chess treasure in the future.”
”Maybe it's possible.” Fang Yun didn't say anything. The main reason is that there are too many things in the library. As long as they can enhance the strength of the Terran, they can be used. Maybe they can be of great use.
General Yu said, ”the mountain chessboard is useless. You can exchange it for other useful things. It is still possible to exchange it for a Jinshi Wen Bao.”
”This month, I want to prepare for the exam at ease.” Fang Yun said reluctantly that he wanted to go to the book mountain too much. Only if he won the literary heart, his strength would be qualitatively improved. Otherwise, it would be difficult to be alone before he had no words.
Yu Xingshu nodded and said, ”OK. After you enter the book mountain, you must strive forward. The higher you climb, the greater the benefits of our country!”
”Oh? I don't know. What's the advantage?” Fang Yun asked.
Yu Xingshu glanced at the crowd. Except Feng Zimo, all the people around him left knowingly.
”After the imperial examination, the top ten scholars of each government of the ten countries will enter the book mountain. The scholar of which country climbs the highest Book Mountain represents the prosperity of education in which country. The holy courtyard will reward holy pages, longevity fruits or living fruits. It's nothing when the scholar climbs the book mountain. When the whole people climb the book mountain, it is said that the semi saints of the ten countries will pay attention to it. Because the person who can climb the mountain is bound to become a scholar The pillars of our Terran family have great potential. Generally speaking, the four talents of each generation will emerge when they ascend the book mountain and gradually become famous all over the world. ”
”I see.” Fang Yun said.
Yu Xingshu said solemnly, ”the holy way is extremely difficult! The human race should compete with the demon barbarians, and people should also compete for the holy page Wenbao, so that you will not be killed by the foreign enemies of the demon barbarians; you should compete for the Holy Land qualification, so that you will grow faster than others; the most important and cruel thing is the struggle for the concept of holy way. For example, your three character classic has offended Xunzi family.”
”Ah? I see.” Fang Yun was stunned and immediately reacted.
The opening of the Three Character Classic is ”at the beginning of man, nature is good”, and the second sage Xunzi is the founder of the ”theory of evil nature”. This ”theory of evil nature” does not mean that man must be evil, but that man is born with evil side, which is natural.
But Mencius believed that people were born with compassion, shame, resignation and right and wrong, that is, people are good and born good, so they are regarded as the originator of the theory of good nature.
As a result, the Mencius family and Xunzi family have been in opposition for hundreds of years and have been unable to reconcile.
Xunzi disciples didn't even accept the idea of Yasheng Mencius. If they had a chance in the future, they would naturally suppress Fang Yun.
Fang Yun also knows that there are also conceptual conflicts within each family. For example, although Han Feizi family and Li Si family are both Legalists, they still have a feud because of Han Feizi and Li Si's struggle for power. Some new saints also have private hatred and national hatred.
Fang Yun sighed, because Xunzi family is in Qingguo, and Jingguo and Qingguo have always been at odds, Xunzi family will spare no effort to suppress him.
Feng Zimo comforted: ”the Xunzi family is not strong in Jingguo. As long as they don't leave Jingguo, they can't take you.”
