Fang Yun frowned, put down his pen, closed his eyes and thought,

Ao Huang was about to speak, but immediately shut up, and for the first time did not say nonsense.

Fang Yun thought for a moment, and finally figured out the reason.

"The biggest reason is that I have been busy in Denglongtai these days, although it has helped my growth, after all, I have abandoned my studies, just like when I was a child, I was crazy and couldn't study with peace of mind. As for the second reason, I'm afraid...... I still can't completely ignore the threat of death. Like a knife hanging on the top and facing the abyss, it is difficult to return to the previous mentality of single-minded learning. ”

Fang Yun sighed lightly, realizing that he was only a jinshi after all, and it was difficult to disobey the mandate of heaven.

However, Fang Yun did not give up and kept pondering in his heart.

"Mencius once said: Those who die in their own way are also destined for righteousness. Shackling the dead is not the right fate. In order to fulfill one's own ideals or holy path and then die, in order to comply with the mandate of heaven, if one cannot break one's own holy path to be interrupted by external forces, then it is not the end of one's life. And then there is a sentence 'if you ask for it, you will get it, and if you give it up, you will lose it', which is to educate future generations to take the initiative to pursue the holy path and take the initiative to obtain the 'righteous life'. But I'm just a mere jinshi now, and in the face of the punishment of the Moon Tree God, I can't do it without doing it, I can't 'ask for it at all, I can only 'lose', which is the root of my imbalance in mentality. ”

Unwilling!

In the Analects, it is recorded that Zilu once asked for advice about serving ghosts and gods, and Confucius said that even people can't serve well, so how can they consider serving ghosts and gods. Zilu asked again what was going on with death, and Kong Sheng said, 'I don't know life, I don't know death'. Even Confucius at that time didn't understand death, how could I face it calmly now. ”

Although Fang Yun understood in his heart, he became more and more uneasy, and repeatedly recited Kong Sheng's six words "Unknown Life, Unknown Death", and after a long time, his eyes lit up, and he immediately began to search for books in his memory.

Since Kong Sheng said "I don't know life, I don't know death". Then first "know life", and then "know death"!

The Book of Changes is the first of a hundred schools, divided into two parts, the former is written by King Wen of Zhou, and the latter is the work of Confucius Sheng's interpretation of the Book of Changes.

Fang Yun quickly found Confucius's later understanding of life and death from the Book of Changes, and recited in a low voice: "The primordial is anti-end, so we know the theory of death and life; ”

Fang Yun had a faint smile on his face, and this sentence echoed the ghost and god in the "Analects" and life and death.

"A saint can trace the beginning of all things and the end of all things, so he can know life and death. The essence makes up all things in heaven and earth, and the soul forms life, so you can understand the form of ghosts and gods. I don't dare to talk about ghosts and death, but I can explore the most basic 'life'. The Book of Changes is the first of all the classics, and Confucius himself said that the living soul is composed of 'essence' and 'soul', and that is a path. ”

"Xunzi inherited the holy way of Confucius, and once said, 'Water and fire have gas but no life.' Plants and trees are born and ignorant, animals are knowledgeable but unrighteous, and people are angry and knowledgeable, and they are also righteous. Therefore, it is the most expensive in the world', and he also admits that people and all things are composed of 'qi'. ”

"There is an article in the Book of Rites called "Rites and Fortunes", which was written by Yasheng Yanzi. It records the words and deeds of Kong Sheng, and has Yan Hui's own understanding. Among them, there is also a saying, 'The man is the virtue of heaven and earth.' The friendship of yin and yang, the meeting of ghosts and gods, and the beauty of the five elements'. It is also believed that human beings are born by absorbing 'qi'. ”

"The writings of the great Confucians such as Zhang Zai, Cheng Yi, Cheng Hao and Zhu Xi of the ancient Chinese kingdom all believed that 'qi' was the source of life. It seems that the theory of 'qi' is one of the main theories of Confucianism. ”

Fang Yun constantly rummaged through the articles of the saints and the great Confucians of the ancient Chinese kingdom, deeply studied the theory of "qi", and connected the talent of the Shengyuan Continent and the vitality of heaven and earth, and quickly clarified a direction.

To know death, the prophet is alive, to know life, to know the prophet's anger.

Unconsciously, Fang Yun forgot about the threat of death, and kept thinking in his head, only when it came to the recorded words and theories of the Shengyuan Continent, he would occasionally say it with his mouth to deepen his memory and understanding.

Ao Huang was hovered in the air, his two dragon eyes widened, like a primary school bully with an incomparably strong thirst for knowledge, remembering every word Fang Yun said.

Ao Huang often listened to it, his eyebrows fluttered, and he was elated, he had the opportunity to listen to those great Confucian and even half-saint lectures, but that level of lectures pointed directly to the holy way, it was too difficult for Ao Huang, Fang Yun's level at this moment was just right for him to learn.

Fang Yun's research immediately fascinated him, and he began to rummage through the world of strange books.

In the past few months in the Shengyuan Continent, Fang Yun had already bought all the works of the Great Confucians and scholars, and they were included in the world of strange books together.

Now, Fang Yun's research on "qi" and "sheng" has gathered all the works of the two worlds, which is a huge project, and he is unconsciously addicted to it.

One day, two days, three days......

It wasn't until the morning of the fourth day that Fang Yun suddenly raised his head and let out a long breath.

A chaotic and strange air flow flew out of Fang Yun's mouth, this air flow was obviously extremely subtle, but Ao Huang rushed backwards like a mouse meeting a cat, looking at Fang Yun in horror.

I saw that the window in front of Fang Yun suddenly disappeared silently, not disintegrating, not shattering, or turning into dust, but disappearing without a trace like material annihilation.

The warm sunlight shone into the room through the hole in the wall and fell on Fang Yun.

"Uh......" Fang Yun didn't understand what was going on, he looked at the big empty hole in the wall and was at a loss, and then glanced back at Ao Huang.

"It's not Ben Long! It's definitely not Ben Long!" Ao Huang's head shook like a rattle.

"It's me?"

Ao Huang pursed his lips and said, "If it's not you, will it be someone else?"

"What is this force that has turned a window away?"

Ao Huang rolled his eyes and said, "You probably faintly touched something great, or the direction, which attracted the mysterious power between heaven and earth, and led the window to disappear." Okay, it is estimated that in a few days your deeds will be spread in the ten kingdoms, should you say, 'Three days of enlightenment, exhale and break the window', or 'Read more than 10,000 books, and tear down the window like a god'?"

"Do you have itchy bones?" Fang Yun asked.

"Hmph!" Ao Huang turned his head to look at the sky.

"Boom ......"

In the courtyard, the slave grabbed the neck of the inkstone turtle and looked at Fang Yun curiously through the hole in the big wall, and the two black eyes were particularly cute.

The inkstone turtle was pulled by the neck, rolling its eyes, and looked like it might choke at any moment.

Fang Yun smiled and asked the slaves in the courtyard: "Little Wang Ba ran away again?"

"Huh!" the slave grabbed the inkstone turtle and jumped over, flew to Fang Yun's table, carefully placed the inkstone turtle, and then patted the shell of the inkstone turtle. Only then did he lie down in front of Fang Yun, looking up at Fang Yun with a smile.

Fang Yun was about to reach out and touch the slave when he heard Fang Da Niu shouting: "Which thief stole the window in the master's study! Are all the thieves in the capital crazy? Why don't you steal the roof with you!"

"Shhh, the master is studying, and both Madame and Lord Huanglong have told me not to scream!"

Fang Daniu said in a low voice: "Oh, let's go, go see how the master is, don't be startled by the window thief." ”

Fang Da Niu rushed to the hole in the wall of the study in three steps and two steps, and found that Fang Yun was giving the slave Shun Mao and gave a sigh of relief.

"Sir. Da Niu is guilty, let people steal the windows in broad daylight, the capital is really different from our Jiangzhou, the thieves don't even let go of the windows. ”

Fang Yun smiled and said: "You misunderstood, this window was not stolen by thieves, I accidentally destroyed it, you can find someone to reinstall it." ”

"Oh, okay, I'll send someone to arrange it right away. But...... How are you doing these days?" Fang Daniu asked with concern and shouted into the house. "Madam, the master has finished reading. ”

"Hey. Yang Yuhuan in the room agreed, and ran into the study quickly, dressed in a white dress. Let the study be filled with a faint fragrance.

Yang Yuhuan glanced at the big hole in the wall curiously, and then looked at Fang Yun, with some worry in his eyes, Fang Yun had never studied for three or four days before.

Yang Yuhuan looked at Fang Yun carefully. found that his face was ruddy and full, and he didn't look like a person who hadn't slept for three days and three nights, and he was relieved.

"I'm fine. The higher the level in the future. The longer it takes, the more you have to get used to it. Fang Yun said with a smile.

Yang Yuhuan's face turned slightly red, Fang Yun seemed to be smiling extremely happily today, which also made her heart beat even more.

Ao Huang blinked, but he could see the difference in Fang Yun's smile.

It's almost December, and Fang Yun is about to usher in the Moon Tree Divine Punishment, Fang Yun is like this, I'm afraid he doesn't want to be discovered by Yang Yuhuan.

Fang Daniu outside the cave in the wall said: "Young master, many people have visited in recent days, and there are a basket of invitations and greetings, I have sorted them out, don't forget to read them then." ”

Fang Yun shook his head helplessly, he couldn't have both fish and bear's paws, since he had decided to take the path of the Holy Path, even if he was about to die, he couldn't relax, and said: "Whether it's an invitation or a prayer post, I don't read it, I want to prepare for the exam, and only give me those important documents." ”

"Yes. ”

"I'll go get you lunch. Yang Yuhuan happily waved to the slave, and then took the little fox to cook.

The inkstone turtle on the table crawled around the table angrily, squinting at Fang Yun from time to time.

Fang Yun reached out to touch the official seal, and there were a large number of handfuls stored inside.

Most of these messages congratulated him on his ascension to the Dragon Terrace and his becoming a holy warrior, and many well-informed friends comforted him, saying that the Moon Tree Divine Punishment had not been used for many years, and the power might not be as powerful as the rumors.

However, Fang Yun knew that the last time the Demon Realm used the Moon Tree Divine Punishment was against Kong Sheng, it had been more than a thousand years, and the Moon Tree Divine Punishment had accumulated more power over the years.

Fang Yun looked at it and found that a letter was different from the others, it was sent by the head of the Meng family.

"Fang Yun, you are limited to return all the things of my Meng family within three days, if you don't return them, the Meng family will regard you as an enemy and list you as an enemy of the family!"

Fang Yun looked at the time of the book, three days had passed.

The enemy of the family is not ordinary, but it is a unique way of punishing non-family members of the Holy Family, provided that the person being punished commits an unpardonable sin against a certain family.

This means that from now on, all the Holy Families must reject Fang Yun, unless the Holy Court determines that Fang Yun is not wrong, otherwise all the properties, powers, etc. belonging to the All Holy Families will reject Fang Yun, and all the children of the All Holy Families are not allowed to interact with Fang Yun, and even any Jinshi of the All Holy Families can directly fight Fang Yun!

This is a right unique to the Saints, and was originally intended to protect the privileges of the Saints from being violated.

Fang Yun stretched out his hand and turned out the drinking river shell of the fierce monarch Meng Lin Hall. (To be continued......)
