"How so?"

In the brightly lit City Lord's Mansion, Fang Yuan sat alone on a table in the outer hall, looking at the colorful fish swimming around in the pond next to him, he was dazed, and suddenly wanted to jump into the pond and become one of them.

He had almost forgotten how he had stepped down the platform and how he had been carried here by the servants of the City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, the city lord's mansion was holding a banquet.

According to the usual practice, after the big exam every three years, the city lord will hold a banquet to invite these proud sons of heaven who have been on the list in the big exam and are about to become disciples of the Xianmen, and this year will naturally be no exception, and even because his daughter is also on the list, it is even more lively. It's just that Fang Yuan, who was supposed to sit in the VIP seat in the inner hall during this big banquet, could only sit in the outer hall in a daze at this time, guarding the empty table.

He could feel the sympathy, pity, mockery, and even schadenfreude in the eyes around him, and he felt unusually tired.

He shouldn't have been here!

Dao Yuan Zhenjie was canceled, not only is he no longer the top of the Jiazi list, but he can't even enter the Xiaoyi list......

Because he has spent too much effort on the true solution of the Dao Yuan, whether it is other pharmacology, divination, or utensils, it is naturally impossible to have too many attainments, and even said that he is almost ignorant of other things, because Mr. Zhu said very early on that if the Dao Yuan true solution is good, it will be worthy of the sum of all other knowledge......

After all, other knowledge, after entering the immortal gate, can be learned slowly, but the true understanding of the Dao Yuan must be from elementary school.

In fact, in the Immortal Gate assessment, Fang Yuan only took the Dao Yuan True Solution exam, and he won the top spot on the Jiazi list.

But who would have thought that before he received the jade talisman, there would be such a bad nightmare?

He was no longer on the list, but the lord seemed to be kind, and let the servants take him over and arrange a seat for him.

It's just that he didn't mention the matter of recruiting a son-in-law again, and the distinguished seats in the inner hall couldn't sit on him.

The other people in the outer hall, either intentionally or unintentionally, avoided him at this time, and even made him occupy a large table alone, as if an invisible force field appeared around him, isolating everyone else from afar!

"Alas, the little brother of the Fang family is really pitiful, he should be at the top of the list, but the result is ......"

"Heh, if a poor disciple wants to get ahead, how easy is it, even God can't get along with him......"

"What do you think he's sitting here for, waiting to bring humiliation upon himself?"

Whispers rang out from all around, and they crept into Fang Yuan's ears like mosquitoes.

He did feel it was time for him to leave.

"If you're here, why rush to leave?"

A big hand pressed on Fang Yuan's shoulder, pressing him back to his seat when he was about to get up.

Fang Yuan turned his head to look at it, and saw that it was an old man in a green robe, fifty or sixty years old, young and thin, not angry and arrogant, he sighed, sat down next to Fang Yuan, lifted the wine jug and poured a full glass, and handed it to Fang Yuan.

"Mr. Zhu......"

Fang Yuan hurriedly got up and saluted, and he was very respectful of the old man in front of him.

This old man is the Taoist master of the Fairy Hall, and he was also the inner disciple of the Qingyang Sect, it was he who led Fang Yuan, who was eavesdropping outside the Fairy Hall, into the Fairy Hall ten years ago, and it was also his painstaking teaching in the past ten years that led to the current Fang Yuan......

...... Although, today's Fang Yuan is just a nameless inverted egg on the list!

"Sit down and talk!"

Mr. Zhu waved his hand, turned his head to look at Fang Yuan, and said softly, "You are disappointed?"

"I ......"

Fang Yuan's expression darkened, ten years of hard work were ruined, how could he not be disappointed?

However, looking at the concerned eyes of the Taoist master, he just smiled and said, "I'm just thinking, does the city lord want me as a son-in-law?"

"Haha, you are now unknown on the list, and your future is bleak, who will marry your daughter to you?"

Mr. Zhu also laughed when he heard this, drank a full glass of wine, and forced it into Fang Yuan's hand, before he let out a long sigh and said, "Actually, the Dao Yuan True Explanation was proved to be fake, which was expected!"

The smile that came out of Fang Yuan's face was also stiff, and he looked up at Mr. Zhu.

Mr. Zhu himself poured a cup, drank it all in one gulp, and sighed in a low voice: "Three thousand times in the world, the catastrophe descended into the world, slaughtering living beings, a thousand years ago, in order to fight the catastrophe, the top masters of the Xianmen, the Demon Sect, and the Demon Clan abandoned their previous suspicions, gathered in the Yuxu Cave Mansion of Kunlun Mountain, and worked together to push the method of fighting the catastrophe, but they did not expect that they had been in retreat for ten years, and when they were about to leave the customs, there was a sudden big change, the sky fell into flames, the Jade Void Palace was destroyed, and none of the three veins could come out alive, and I don't know what the reason is!"

"However, although the masters of the three veins have all died in the Jade Void Cave Mansion, there are rumors in the world that they have deduced a Taoist canon called "Dao Yuan True Solution", which records the wonderful meaning of fighting against the three thousand years of catastrophe, and the major forces will do whatever it takes to find "Dao Yuan True Solution"!"

"But no one thought that this Dao book really appeared, not only appeared, but also appeared dozens of hundreds, so many Dao Yuan true explanations, some of the content is similar, but more of the content is completely different, no one in the major forces knows which one is true, which one is false, but every Xianmen who has obtained the "Dao Yuan True Solution" does not dare to take it lightly, countless geniuses have worked hard to study the secrets, but unfortunately hundreds of years have passed, after all, without exception, they have all been confirmed to be fake!"

"That Qingyang Sect ......"

Fang Yuan subconsciously spoke, his expression a little hesitant.

"Qingyang Sect's Dao Yuan True Explanation, was obtained by Gu Song's uncle seven hundred years ago, he participated in the study for more than 100 years and could not find its method, so he taught this scripture to the same sect of Qingyang Sect, and still no one could understand it thoroughly, and had to share this scripture with the other four great immortal sects of the Yue Kingdom, and countless masters of the five immortal sects have spent countless efforts in this scripture, or nothing......"

"Since then, there have been various speculations, one of which is said by a hexagram master from Yi Lou!"

"That hexagram master is Gu Song's uncle and ancestor have known each other for eight hundred years, after he has scrutinized the scriptures, he thinks that this Yuan Zhen solution is unpredictable, which contains great opportunities, the higher the cultivation, the easier it is to be blinded, but can not see the truth, so to get a glimpse of this scripture of the generation, should be from the children who have not yet been exposed to the path of cultivation, Gu Song Taishi Uncle Zu is convinced of his words, so he began three hundred years ago, wantonly from the mortal world to accept disciples, over time, there is this triennial Xianmen examination......"

Speaking of this, Mr. Zhu sighed again: " But three hundred years ago, I don't know how many people were accepted into the immortal gate, the interpretation of the true solution of the Dao Yuan, but still nothing, but the big test of the fairy gate, for the fairy gate to find a lot of good immortal seedlings left in the mortal world, gradually, several other immortal gates, has long been on the interpretation of the true solution of the Dao Yuan no hope, pick disciples and only pick other aspects of the outstanding, Qingyang Sect as early as more than a hundred years ago, there are also people who put forward this, but the Taishi uncle is bent on going his own way, no one dares to disobey his old man's will, and it is because of this, until yesterday, the Dao Yuan true solution is the most important one in this Xianmen examination......”

"That'...... So why ...... today?"

Fang Yuan wanted to speak and stopped, a little puzzled, why did he cancel it when he won the top spot?

"Because Gu Song's uncle and ancestor have already sat down three days ago!"

Mr. Zhu's face was full of emotion, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed.

Fang Yuan was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

Mr. Zhu smiled bitterly and said, " In fact, most of my life, I have also spent on this scripture, every time I feel that I have gained, but in the end I still got nothing, and I have long suspected that this scripture is false, I have a premonition that there will be such a day, but I have been teaching you, not that I want to harm you, but whether this Yuan true solution is true or false, after all, it is the most important part of the Xianmen examination, and learning this way, and do not have to spend money like learning other knowledge, it is the most suitable for the disciples of the cold door, if you can enter the Xianmen, it is a good thing, even if the time comes to go to the false and keep the true, learn from scratch, it is better than being rejected, these more than 100 years, with this method, I also sent a lot of good seedlings from poor backgrounds to Xianmen, but it just hurt you......"

"Do you hurt me?"

Fang Yuan was slightly distracted, and the smile on his face was also a little bitter.

Mr. Zhu sighed and said, "I'm not here to say this, I just have something I want to tell you!"

Fang Yuan reacted and said with a wry smile: "If Mr. wants to comfort me, it is better to reward me with a jar of pear blossoms hidden in your kiln......"

"If I have a daughter to marry you, I have no defense, but I want my pear blossom white, so I'd better die of this heart......"

Mr. Zhu scolded with a smile, then looked at Fang Yuan's eyes, and after a while, he opened his mouth in a deep voice: "I'm not comforting you with this, I'm just telling you a fact...... Dogen's true understanding may be fake, but your top spot is not!"

Fang Yuan was slightly stunned and looked up at Mr. Zhu.

"Dao Yuan true interpretation is not false and not to say, if he is the most difficult to learn, presumably no one opposes, this scripture is difficult to twist the mouth, the righteousness is difficult, every word, every sentence, can lead to a large number of interpretations and extensions, if you want to achieve success in this door, but not only to memorize all the scriptures, and even other Xianmen public versions, as well as countless people in the practice of the interpretation experience, you have to completely memorize it, figure it out, Hao Shou poor scriptures are not enough to describe the hardships, that is, the great cultivators of the world, in order to study this Dao Yuan true solution, I don't know how many people have delayed their practice, and even fallen into madness, not to mention you children who are not strong in heart？”

When he said this, Mr. Zhu looked at Fang Yuan, his eyes were very doting: "The old man has been teaching in this Taiyue City Fairy Hall for decades, and I don't know how many amazing genius prodigies I have seen, but I have never seen a person who works as hard as you, those countless great cultivators, and erudite elders can't do, but you have done it, even the old man admires you very much......

"So ......"

"The honor of the top of the list is your ten years of hard work, and you won it among the 100,000 students in the seven counties of Yueguo, you originally stood in the same position as others, and even because of your family background, the conditions were much worse than others, and then it took ten years to stand in a higher position than them, who can say that your top position is fake, who can not admit that you are stronger than them?"

Mr. Zhu's expression was solemn, he patted Fang Yuan's shoulder heavily, and his voice was a little low: "Child, today is the last lesson I teach you, don't forget how you have come through the past ten years, and you will embark on the path of cultivation in the future, this is your Dao heart!"

After saying these words, Mr. Zhu took a glass of wine and turned to leave.

"How have I come to this decade......"

Fang Yuan looked at Mr. Zhu's back and gently repeated what he had just said.

"yes, how did you get through the last ten years?"

"When I was five years old, I rode to the locust tree outside the fairy hall to eavesdrop on Mr. Zhu's lectures, and was stung by a wasp full of ......"

"When I was seven or eight years old, I followed my uncle and aunt in the field, while remembering the words taught by Mr. Zhu in my heart, the sickle cut my hand, I didn't find it, and when I turned around, I saw blood sprinkled on the seedlings, crystal bright ......"

"When I was a teenager, every day I dreamed of those difficult and tongue-twisting scriptures......"

A feeling of sadness and pride rose in Fang Yuan's heart......

"How did I get here?"

"I have paid ten times more effort than others, and ten times more effort to get to where I am today......"

"Mr. Zhu is right, you can say that Yuan Zhenjie is false, and you can cancel my name on the list, but who can deny that I did win the top of this Jiazi list with my strength and pressed all of you under my name?"

He poured the wine that Mr. Zhu had poured into his mouth, and then poured another full glass.

Then he looked up at the direction where Mr. Zhu left, and said silently in his heart: "Mr. Zhu, don't worry, I won't be depressed!"

The knot in his heart was untied, Fang Yuan's previous confusion suddenly disappeared, and he also had strength in his body, he took a long breath and prepared to leave, but when he got up, he couldn't help but think of another question in his heart: "If the "Dao Yuan True Explanation" is fake, then in the past few years, when I have studied the content of the scriptures, what is the faint touch in my heart?"

Thinking of this question, he couldn't help but think of it again a month ago, when he had read the Dao Yuan Zhen Interpretation and fallen asleep at night, half-asleep and half-awake, suddenly his heart was clear, and he felt the feeling of mysterious and mysterious power......

He didn't know how to describe the feeling of being real and illusory, and he hadn't told anyone about it!

He used to think that when he really started to practice, with the guidance of that feeling, he could discover the true truth contained in this Dao Yuan True Solution, but who would have thought that at this juncture, the Dao Yuan True Solution would actually be proven to be false?
