The scholars on the mountain were thinking hard while the scholars at the foot of the mountain were discussing. They were like Fang Yun and guessed that this year's Book Hill would be harder than usual. They were all guessing where Fang Yun could reach.
"Back then, Yan Yukong and the other geniuses stopped at the Three Mountains and Three Pavilions. This year's Book Hill is especially hard. Even if Fang Yun's talent is the same as Yan Yukong's, I'm afraid he can only reach the Three Mountains and One Pavilion."
"That's right. I admit that in terms of talent, Fang Yun is comparable to our Gyeongo's Yan Yukong. However, don't forget that even though Yan Yukong was born and raised in Gyeongo, he is a descendant of the Yan family. After he was born in middle school, he was sent to the Yan family to be nurtured. What he learned is definitely not something that Fang Yun can compare to. I suspect that Fang Yun can't even reach the Third Mountain. "
"Your Gyeongo people are so powerful. Just now, you were shocked by our Jingguo people's courage and more than ten of your people died. Truly powerful! At this year's Dragon Boat Cultural Gathering, Yan Yukong seems to have been completely suppressed by Fang Yun. He really isn't someone that Fang Yun can compare to. "
A Jade Sea City scholar couldn't help but mock and ridicule. He had personally seen Fang Yun become the champion of the Dragon Boat Cultural Gathering and had also personally seen Shi Jun praise Fang Yun. In his heart, Fang Yun's position was second only to Li Wenying. He definitely couldn't let his enemy humiliate him.
This Jade Sea City scholar was simply tearing open the scars of the Gyeongo scholars. They were already angry because of the failure of the Dragon Boat Cultural Gathering. Previously, many Gyeongo people had their spiritual wills scattered by Fang Yun. They knew that Fang Yun wasn't wrong and didn't dare to say anything. However, now that even a normal scholar from Gyeongo was stepping on them, the Gyeongo scholars were furious.
A Gyeongo scholar raged, "You Jingguo people only won once and you're actually so arrogant! It was Fang Yun who beat my Gyeongo, not you! Shameless! "
"Shameless? It was Fang Yun who ascended the Book Hill. Not only did you Gyeongo people, who enjoyed the fruits of others' labor, not thank him, you even cursed him to be unable to ascend the Three Mountains and Three Pavilions. This is truly shameless. "
"We are just judging, not cursing!"
"As long as someone passes a pavilion on Book Hill, we'll be able to stay for an extra hour. You've seen the current situation. Fang Yun would definitely be number one. You enjoyed the time Fang Yun brought to you, but you didn't thank him. You didn't congratulate him on reaching a higher peak. Instead, you thought he was inferior to others. If this isn't a curse, then what is it? "
"You're talking nonsense!"
The enmity between Gyeongo and Jingguo had been going on for hundreds of years, especially since their ancestors had died in the hands of the other party. With the addition of national enmity and family hatred, they immediately quarreled.
Soon, the topic shifted from Fang Yun to other aspects. They began to compare the contributions of each country's Half-saint, and began to pick on each other's scandals.
The people from other countries only watched from the side. The people from Wu Guo secretly laughed. The deeper the enmity between the two countries, the better it would be for Wu Guo. The three countries that bordered each other had never been on good terms.
After a while, a scholar from Qi couldn't hold back and shouted, "Come, come, come! Let's bet, let's bet! "
"Gambling Addict Qiao, this is Book Hill. If you leave Book Hill, you'll forget everything. What are you going to bet with? You're not afraid that we won't compensate you if we lose, but we're afraid that you'll run away if we win. Your father is the big boss of the gambling house in Qi, but you're just a little gambler. How can you compare to your father? I won't bet, I won't bet! "
Many people laughed.
Scholar Qiao smiled and said, "Why can't I bet? There are two scholars from Gyeongo and Qing. Stop quarreling. If you're a man, then bet! What's the point of quarreling? "
The people from the two countries glared at Scholar Qiao.
Scholar Qiao wasn't afraid at all. He shouted, "People from Gyeongo Wu Guo, aren't you unhappy with Fang Yun? Don't you think that Fang Yun can't go to the Three Mountains and Three Pavilions? People from Jingguo. Don't you think that Fang Yun is better than Yan Yukong? Why don't we make a bet? If Fang Yun goes to the Three Mountains and Three Pavilions, the people from Gyeongo Wu Guo will collectively jump into the Ruo Shui River. If Fang Yun can't go to the Three Mountains and Three Pavilions. People from Jingguo will collectively jump into the Ruo Shui River. Do you dare? "
The people from Jingguo and Gyeongo shut their mouths. Actually, they didn't have the confidence to do so.
A scholar from Wu Guo got angry and said, "What does the quarrel between Gyeongo and Qing have to do with Wu Guo?"
A person from Gyeongo said ambiguously, "You people from Wu Guo have been trying to sow discord between Gyeongo and Qing. It has nothing to do with you? Six years ago, you won against Gyeongo's Five Prefectures in a civil war. Three years ago, you won against Jingguo's Three Prefectures in a civil war. We still remember this debt. Of course, it has something to do with you. "
The scholars from the other countries saw that things were about to get worse. The quarrel between countries had always been a topic that people from different countries were easily agitated about. A few decades ago, the main object of "loyalty" was the country. Therefore, the hatred between countries was very deep.
It wasn't until the thousand-year truce that the demons and barbarians took action that the Notre-Dame had no choice but to change the highest concept of "loyalty". Loyalty should first be to the human race, then to the country.
However, the people from the other countries couldn't agree immediately. Many people still wanted their country to unify Shengyuan Continent. Only then would loyalty to the country be equivalent to loyalty to the human race.
Even the current Fang Yun, who had seen Jingguo being bullied by Gyeongo and Wu Guo, wanted to unify Jingguo and Gyeongo, let alone them.
Scholar Qiao immediately shouted, "Stop talking nonsense! Do you want to bet or not? Your Wu Guo has always been arrogant, looking down on this country and that country. In the past, you often attacked Fang Yun. Now that there's a bet, you don't dare to bet? "
A Wu Guo shouted, "Of course we dare to bet, but all the Jingguo people don't dare to bet!"
"Oh? Then if we Jingguo people dare to bet, will the Wu Guo people at the foot of the mountain also dare to bet? "
The Wu Guo person shouted, "Wu Guo's literary friends, I believe that Fang Yun is a great talent. I even admire Fang Yun. But don't you think that these Jingguo scholars are too noisy? What does Fang Yun's future have to do with these people? A bunch of petty people, who didn't even dare to raise their heads in front of our Wu Guo people. Now they want to ride on the heads of our Wu Guo people? No way! Good sons of Wu Guo, do you dare to bet? "
"Yes! When has our Wu Guo people ever been afraid of Jingguo people? "
"I'm afraid of Fang Yun, but I'm not afraid of these good-for-nothings from Jingguo!"
"It seems that Fang Yun can't be suppressed anymore. We can afford to lose, but we can't lose to the other Jingguo people!"
The Jingguo people were extremely angry. Many people who didn't want to bet decided to bet because they knew that Fang Yun would definitely be able to reach the Three Mountains and One Pavilion. However, by that time, there wouldn't be much time left. Even if they didn't jump into the Ruo Shui River, they wouldn't be able to stay on Book Hill for much longer.
Soon, all the Gyeongo and Wu Guo people at the foot of Book Hill stood on one side, while the Jingguo people stood on the other side.
Scholar Qiao laughed secretly. Fortunately, they were all scholars who had just passed the imperial examinations. If they were High Scholars, no one would bet. He smiled and said, "Okay, then it's settled! If any of them reneges, the other seven countries will push them into the Ruo Shui River. "
One of the Jingguo people shouted at Fang Yun, "Fang Yun, it's up to you to make those Gyeongo and Wu Guo scholars jump into the river!"
The nine mountains were arranged in a row parallel to the Ruo Shui River. Fang Yun went down the First Mountain and came to the middle of the two mountains.
There was also a strange wind between the two mountains.
The strange wind here was more than five times stronger than the one by the Ruo Shui River. However, under the protection of Wen Dan's power, this strange wind couldn't move Fang Yun's clothes at all.
Many of the scholars in the distance were secretly envious. At this moment, Fang Yun was extremely confident. He didn't even bat an eyelid under the pressure of Mount Tai.
After walking through the strange wind, Fang Yun stepped into the First Pavilion of the Second Mountain. He saw the word "Mathematics" written on the plaque.
Mathematics was one of the Six Arts of a Gentleman. In ancient times, not knowing how to count was demeaning. A scholar couldn't be too bad at mathematics.
"I wonder what the 'Mathematics' of the Book Mountain is. If it was high mathematics, even ten books would be a tragedy." Fang Yun thought to himself.
A piece of white paper appeared and on it were three questions. Answering two of them correctly would suffice. Fang Yun looked at it and couldn't help but smile.
The first question was a poem.
The lofty Academy is in the mountains and forests. Who knows how many students there are in the Academy?
Three hundred and sixty-four bowls. Look at Zhou Jin.
Three people share a bowl of rice, four people share a bowl of soup.
Teacher, please calculate how many students there are in the Academy.
"This means that there are three hundred and sixty-four bowls in the Academy. Three scholars share a bowl of rice, four people share a bowl of soup. Ask how many scholars there are. Let's say there are x students in the Academy. Divide x by three and x by four equals 364. Find the value of x. "Fang Yun thought to himself.
Thus, a question that would cause many Elementary Scholars to break their heads was easily solved.
Fang Yun wrote the number 624 on the back of the first question.
"Sigh, isn't my calculation a little too much?"
Fang Yun thought to himself and looked at the second question.
There are ten thousand trees in the forest, arranged in a straight line. Each tree has a leaf, the next tree has a leaf. Ten thousand trees have ten thousand leaves. How many leaves does the forest have?
"The first tree has one leaf, the second tree has two, and so on. The ten thousandth tree has ten thousand leaves. Even if the equation of the arithmetic series is almost forgotten, those who are familiar with Gauss's childhood story can calculate it. The first tree and the last tree have ten thousand and one leaves. Multiply that by five thousand, and the answer is out. I just don't know if other people would use this method. "
Thus, Fang Yun wrote "fifty thousand and five thousand leaves" on the paper.
Suddenly, the old man from before appeared in front of Fang Yun. The old man looked at him sternly and asked, "How do you explain this question in detail?"
Fang Yun was shocked, as if he had been caught cheating. Then he quickly reacted. This time he really did not cheat. After thinking for a while, he stretched out his hands and said, "When I was playing by the river, I wrote from one to ten on my ten fingers. My two hands were closed and my ten fingers were facing each other. The sum of every two fingers was eleven. Eleven multiplied by five was fifty-five. Although this question is ten thousand, there is not much difference. The sum of the leaves of the two trees is ten thousand and one. Multiply that by five thousand is the answer. "
"Good!" The old man nodded his head and disappeared.
Fang Yun could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fang Yun looked at the third question and revealed a thoughtful expression.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine coins. Buy one thousand pears.
Eleven coins. Nine pears. Seven fruits. Four coins.
Question: How much are the pears?
Fang Yun looked and said, "Nine hundred and ninety-nine coins bought pears and fruits. The sum of pears and fruits is one thousand. Eleven coins can buy nine pears. Four coins can buy seven fruits. How much are the fruits and pears? How many coins did each cost? This question is very difficult. "
After saying that, Fang Yun seemed to have completely forgotten how to solve the first question. He racked his brains.
