All kinds of boats lined up on the seaside. It was a spectacular sight, contrasting with the blue sea, creating a different kind of beauty.
The stupid scholar Tian Songshi's boat was a very ordinary sailboat.
Tian Songshi's poetry was his weak point, so he had completely given up on studying poetry after becoming a Grand Scholar. He would only memorize the poems he encountered. His strength was the knowledge accumulated from years of reading and experience. His essays and classics were very strong.
Although there were many people forming sailboats, most of them were unhappy. However, Tian Songshi was very happy and quickly walked onto the sailboat. If he had become a Grand Scholar in the Court Examination and entered the Sea of Learning, he would probably have sat on the worst bamboo raft.
As more and more people were reciting poems, medium-sized warships quickly appeared. Every time one of them appeared, the people nearby would exclaim in surprise.
Most of the medium-sized warships were Taowu. There were two levels of cabins on the deck and more than ten pairs of oars on both sides. Once they moved, they would be very fast. Although this kind of ship was more suitable for fighting in the pugilistic world, this was the Sea of Learning, not the real ocean. The bigger the ship, the more powerful it was.
Not long after, a rare large warship appeared. Many people looked over enviously.
There were four levels of cabins on the deck of the gray warship. There were three large white sails on the ship and more than thirty pairs of oars on both sides of the ship. Ever since the Sea of Learning appeared, three-story ships were already rare. Four-story ships were even rarer. Now, one had appeared.
A blue-robed scholar stood at the bow of the four-story ship. A breeze blew past, causing his clothes to flutter. He was handsome and extraordinary.
"It's Zong Chengbing!"
"As expected of the Ice Race's scholar. No wonder he dared to challenge Fang Xusheng. A four-story ship does have the ability to do so. The Zong Family is really full of talents these years. Zong Sheng is really a genius. "
"Look, there's another four-story ship! It should be Yan Yukong's! "
Yan Yukong and his friends were not far away from Fang Yun. They were all congratulating him.
However, Yan Yukong kept his hands in his sleeves and said slowly, "You can praise me after Fang Yun finishes his poem. I'll go up first."
His friends from the Holy Ground continued to compose poems. These people were all outstanding talents from various countries. After being nurtured for many years, the poems they wrote could at least form medium-sized warships. There were also four ships. It attracted a lot of attention.
Fang Yun had a lot of warships, but the number of warships in the fleets of Zong and Lei was even greater.
Other than that, there were several other ships scattered around, but there were only five four-storied ships in total. There had never been a five-storied ship.
Fang Yun looked around carefully and realized that there were many ships. There were more than a hundred of them, and he had never seen some of the ship owners before. However, from their clothes, he could tell that they were from the various ancient lands.
Not all ancient lands were like those traitor ancient lands. They would only contact Saint Origin World once every few years. Normally, the scholars of ancient lands would compete with the scholars of Saint Origin World for the position of the country's head.
Fang Yun secretly memorized the appearances of all the owners of the ships. Some of them were definitely the top scholars of various ancient lands, competing with him for the head of the country.
Time passed by slowly. There were only a hundred breaths left before the quarter hour was up. The people on the shore finally had no choice but to start reciting poems, causing more and more boats to appear on the shore.
"Fang Xusheng, it's your turn. Don't be too late!" a Jingguo man shouted.
"Yes, when the time is up, all the ships will depart. If we're late, we might fail the race. "
Friends from the Holy Ground, new Jinshi from Jingguo, Jinshi from the Human Race's Palace Examination … All kinds of people who were related to Fang Yun and had nothing to do with Fang Yun looked at him. Almost everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Fang Yun had created too many miracles. Every time they witnessed it, it was an honor for the scholars.
Fang Yun nodded and started reciting a poem.
"Rich people don't need to buy good land. There are thousands of chestnuts in books.
There's no need to build a house. There's a house of gold in books.
Don't hate that there's no good matchmaker in marriage. There's a beautiful woman in books.
Don't hate that there's no one to accompany you when you go out. There are many carriages and horses in books.
A man wants to fulfill his life's ambition. He diligently reads the six classics in front of the window. "
The moment Fang Yun finished reciting the poem, many of the scholars frowned. This poem was too utilitarian. Although it was suitable to be used as an admonition, it was rather disgraceful for a talented Illusionary Divine dream master to be so straightforward.
No matter what, a scholar was still somewhat aloof from worldly affairs.
However, a small number of people had a surprised look in their eyes.
After the poem was finished, the sea in front of Fang Yun suddenly shook. All the ships around him were pushed away by the sea. Finally, a different giant ship appeared on the sea.
Everyone was shocked.
This was also a ship with five floors. It was the tallest ship among all of them. However, this was not the most special thing about it. It was not enough to surprise everyone.
In front of the ship, the dragon's head was roaring. At the back, the dragon's tail was strong. Golden dragon scales appeared on both sides of the ship.
This was a five-story golden dragon ship!
It was as if a sleeping dragon was carrying a ship on its back.
The expressions of the people from the Zong and Lei families changed. The scholars were instinctively shocked.
The Sea of Learning had been around for a thousand years. There were countless talents. Some people had even fished up the Sea of Learning. However, no one's poem had ever turned into a dragon ship!
A dragon ship might only be a gorgeous giant ship in the outside world. However, in the Sea of Learning, it definitely had special abilities that ordinary ships did not have.
Lei Longkuo was incomparably furious. He did not expect that before the race had even begun, Fang Yun would gain the upper hand. His aura suppressed Man Hai, and his skills shocked more than ten thousand people.
"I did not expect this Sea of Learning to be so utilitarian. I did not expect that my human Xusheng would be so utilitarian! The great Xusheng, in order to entice people to study, used good land, luxurious houses, beautiful women as attendants to entice people to study. In the end, he casually mentioned his ambition. It really makes people sigh! Those who are guided by this kind of poem, no matter how high their achievements are, are just pitiful people who only care about money! "Lei Long's tongue was like spring thunder.
A few people frowned. Lei Longkuo had attacked Fang Yun's vital point.
However, the scholars from the Zong and Lei families did not speak. They had already noticed the difference in this poem.
Li Fanming retorted, "Haha, Brother Lei is indeed a member of the Lei family. The most powerful literary heart is' lying through your teeth '. Only a pitiful person like you who only cares about money would think that this is using ordinary things to entice people to study. The original meaning of this poem is that scholars should not pursue good land and luxurious houses. They should not beg for matchmakers. They should not be envious of other people's high positions and power. As long as they study, they can get everything. These are just the side effects of studying! The last is the finishing touch. Since there is no need to pursue these things, what should a good man pursue? Ambition! "
The scholar Shen Pei did not wait for others to refute and said, "This is where Fang Xusheng's brilliance lies! Many of you do not dare to use money and beautiful women to entice people in your poems. It is just empty talk. However, have you forgotten what ordinary scholars need? It is nothing more than enough food and warm clothes. It is nothing more than a harmonious family. It is nothing more than standing out. These are the great desires of humans. It is understandable. Fang Xusheng did not object. Instead, he guided scholars not to waste their energy on these things. As long as they study, they will naturally get what they want. A real gentleman does not avoid benefits and calmly accepts them! "
Those who were frowning before relaxed. This explanation seemed to be more appropriate.
Fang Yun stood on the deck of the dragon boat with his hands behind his back. He looked at the end of the sea of learning and smiled without saying anything. He was not prepared to explain himself. This was a famous poem of the Song Dynasty emperor. Although it was not a good poem full of talent, it was an excellent poem to encourage people to study. Moreover, there was a scene in it that was difficult for ordinary people to discover.
"In this poem, there is the meaning of 'all the talents in the world are under control'. This is the real reason for the formation of the dragon boat. Other than Fang Xusheng, who else in the sea of learning can have such a mind? "A scholar from Kongcheng praised.
