However, Fang Yun purposely wrote half of the sentence and hesitated. After making sure that the old man did not appear for a long time, he finished the sentence.
He passed the first pavilion on the second mountain. Fang Yun received the fourth Holy Light Baptism and entered the second pavilion on the second mountain.
The words "Geography" were written on the plaque of this pavilion.
Fang Yun felt a flash in front of his eyes. He suddenly realized that he had arrived at a very familiar place.
The small river outside of Ji County!
Fang Yun immediately became vigilant. Although Fang Yun often said that he would ponder by the river, it was only because he had no other choice. In the past, Fang Yun liked to daydream by the river. If Fang Yun said that he had read a lot of books in the past, he would definitely be exposed.
Fang Yun stood by the river and waited quietly.
The old man appeared again and asked, "The second pavilion is about geography. Since you often ponder by the river, you must have noticed that the water on the north bank is shallower than the south bank, right?"
Fang Yun vaguely understood what the old man wanted to test. He immediately said, "Yes, I noticed it long ago."
"Then do you know the reason?"
Fang Yun thought as he said, "I was just curious in the past. I did not think much about it. Is this the Book Hill test?"
"Yes."
Fang Yun said slowly, "There is no wind here. The terrain on both sides is very flat. The water does not choose depth. Then, the only possibility is that the land where the water flows from has some kind of force. This force makes the south bank's water flow faster, washing away more sand. That is why the south bank's water depth is deeper. On the other hand, the north bank's water flow is slower, unable to wash away the sand.
"How did you come up with that?" The old man asked.
"Actually, Half-saint has long said that the Saint Origin World under our feet is moving. Since it is moving, it will naturally move everything on the land. There is a basis for this. "Fang Yun said in his heart," The earth is biased towards the force. "
"Oh? Aren't you wasting time thinking about this every day? "
Fang Yundao said, "Elder, you're wrong. I've observed a few High Scholar's' Gale Song 'and found that there are many mistakes in the way they control the song. I'm afraid it has something to do with the strange power of the earth, just like the power that drives the river to the north and the river to the south. "
"Tell me about it."
"The Song of Gale can form a tornado, but some High Scholar's tornadoes revolve around the sun's shadow, while others revolve around the sun's shadow. The difference in strength between the two is obviously not that great, but the latter is at least ten percent stronger. I didn't know it back then, but now I've been enlightened by you. Understood. In the future, when High Scholars use the 'Gale Song', they will only use the 'Gale Song'. That way, the 'Gale Song' will be even more powerful. "
The Sun Shadow Hour Measuring Needle was a part of a sundial. In the Saint Origin World, it was a method of measuring time based on the sun's shadow. It was similar to a clock.
"Oh? This was unheard of. He would remember this for the time being. If what you said is true, then your contribution is even greater. "
"You're too kind, Old Mister. I'm just guessing."
The old man asked again, "The people of the ten nations have all accepted that the Saint Origin World is a big ball. What do you think?"
"The Saint Origin World is a big ball."
"What evidence do you have to prove it?"
"Is this a test?"
"Of course."
"Let me think. As everyone knows, Lord Xu Xiake walked in a direction and returned to the same place. Does this count as proof? "
"I still need four more answers."
"Four?"
"Yes or no."
"Yes." Fang Yun deliberately pondered for a long time before answering. "Have you seen a lunar eclipse before?"
"Of course."
"The saints said that when the Saint Origin World is located between the sun and the moon, it blocks the sun's rays and leaves a shadow on the moon. However, I found that the shadow is an arc, which means that the Saint Origin World is a ball. "
"The third?"
"When those ships go out to sea, they will often disappear gradually. When they return, they will always have the highest mast. Next is the hull of the ship. This shows that the Saint Origin World is round. "
"The fourth."
"If the Saint Origin World is flat land, we can see far into the distance, but unfortunately, we can only see further things from a high place."
"The fifth."
"If you look at the sea level from afar, you will find that the horizon is actually an arc and not a straight line. Am I right?"
The old man nodded and said, "Let me test you on the environment of the demon realm."
Fang Yun nodded and answered the old man's questions.
This time, Fang Yun was even more careful. He deliberately slowed down. He answered all three questions in a complete manner.
After answering, Fang Yun walked towards the Third Pavilion.
The plaque of the Third Pavilion on the Second Mountain read "Agriculture".
This time, the old man did not appear. Instead, a test paper appeared like before.
The test papers were about weapon smelting, crop planting and harvesting, as well as a very obscure water conservancy project.
Fang Yun didn't know much about the three subjects. Fortunately, he had the book Heaven and Earth. He answered the questions seriously.
Fang Yun had officially passed the Third Mountain. It seemed simple, but it was much more difficult than the First Mountain.
After being baptized by the holy light in the Second Mountain and Third Pavilion, Fang Yun looked back. Only one person had appeared in the First Pavilion on the Second Mountain.
"This time, I'm afraid that no one will be able to pass the Second Mountain except for me. The questions this year are too obscure. I suspect that even the Scholars and Scholars won't be able to answer correctly."
Fang Yun looked at the dense crowd at the foot of the mountain. He thought that everyone would be informed of their position by Half-saint after leaving the Book Hill. In the past, more than half of the people could enter the First Pavilion on the Book Hill. After passing the Book Hill, many people could enter the First Pavilion on the Book Hill. However, compared to the past, the Book Hill this year was simply too difficult.
Fang Yun walked towards the Third Mountain while thinking. The First Mountain tested words, couplets, and dictation, but they were different from ordinary tests. The Second Mountain tested miscellaneous skills.
"I wonder what the Third Mountain tested."
Fang Yun went down the Second Mountain and encountered an even stronger wind. This time, his clothes fluttered slightly in the wind.
When he reached the First Pavilion on the Third Mountain, Fang Yun saw an extremely tall wooden pole in the middle of the square. The word "Qiao" was written on the plaque.
A ruler appeared in Fang Yun's hand. The old man's voice was heard. "Use the ruler to measure the height of the pole."
Fang Yun was stunned for a moment. Could it be that he was practicing climbing techniques? That was also a coincidence. However, when he tried, he realized that there was something wrong with the pole. There was a strong force preventing him from climbing.
Fang Yun held the ruler and looked around. Soon, he realized that he and the pole had left shadows on the ground. After thinking for a while, he smiled.
"At the same time, the ratio of the ruler and pole to their shadows is the same. By placing the ruler on the ground, I can measure the length of the ruler and its shadow in a short period of time. Then, I can measure the length of the pole's shadow and calculate the height of the pole. "
"If I didn't go through the systematic learning on Earth and only received the education of Saint Origin, even those so-called disciples of Half-saint might not be able to come up with this method. It's not that their intelligence is inferior to mine, it's that their way of thinking is inferior to mine. "
Fang Yun finished his thought and started measuring the length manually. Finally, he got the correct length and successfully received the Holy Light Baptism of the Third Mountain's First Pavilion.
This time, the Holy Light Baptism took a long time, allowing Fang Yun's strength to increase by leaps and bounds.
When they saw Fang Yun leave the Third Mountain's First Pavilion, the Elementary Scholars of Jingguo at the foot of the mountain shouted themselves hoarse.
The Elementary Scholars of Gyeongo and Wu Guo were silent, but more than half of them cupped their hands towards Fang Yun, expressing their heartfelt admiration. Some of them originally didn't care about Fang Yun's victory, but when they saw the reactions of the Elementary Scholars of Gyeongo and Wu Guo, their gazes became strange.
When a few of the older Jingguo Elementary Scholars saw this scene, they were unusually excited.
Wu Guo and Gyeongo had worked together to suppress Jingguo for decades, causing irreparable damage to Jingguo's Literary Name and the people's hearts. Coupled with Chen Guanhai's serious injury and the defeat last year, many scholars and citizens expressed their desire to submit to either Gyeongo or Wu Guo.
Even people as strong as Li Wenying and the Great Confucian Minister were unable to turn the situation around and could only watch as their countrymen were despised by outsiders.
But now, Fang Yun had completely convinced the Elementary Scholars of Gyeongo and Jingguo. They recognized Fang Yun, which meant that they recognized the scholars of Jingguo, which also meant that they recognized the power of Jingguo.
Many of the Elementary Scholars present were full of admiration for Fang Yun. After leaving Book Hill, they didn't remember what happened today, but subconsciously, they still had a good impression of Fang Yun.
This seemingly insignificant change had a great significance. It meant that the efforts of Gyeongo and Wu Guo over the past decades were slowly being dissolved by Fang Yun alone. This was something that no one in Jingguo could do.
The other nine countries might sympathize with Jingguo, and even respect Jingguo for fighting with the demons and barbarians, but when there was a conflict of interest with Jingguo, sympathy and respect were worthless. Strength and power were the deciding factor.
If one didn't have enough strength, all soft power was like a bubble that would burst with a poke.
Fang Yun was slowly increasing the strength of Jingguo.
The crowd watched as Fang Yun slowly walked to the second pavilion. Although they didn't know what the second pavilion was about, everyone knew that the second pavilion of the Third Mountain was very important. Anyone who passed the second pavilion of the Third Mountain as an Elementary Scholar would have great achievements in the future.
Whether or not one could pass the second pavilion determined whether or not one was a genius.
Fang Yun slowly entered the second pavilion of the Third Mountain and found himself in a drill ground. There were many weapons on the ground.
"Is this the second pavilion where the martial arts exam is held?"
The old man walked out again and said, "You can choose any weapon."
"Yes." Fang Yun chose the bow and arrow. Then, demon soldiers appeared in front of his eyes.
These demon soldiers were well-trained, but Fang Yun had killed demons before. He killed them one by one and obtained excellent results.
After completing the exam of the Third Mountain and Second Pavilion, Fang Yun turned his head and looked down the mountain.
The people of Jingguo let out a thunderous cheer.
After passing the second pavilion of the Third Mountain and stepping into the third pavilion, Fang Yun would receive the same high praise as the other geniuses, regardless of whether he succeeded or failed.
If he could really pass the third pavilion of the Third Mountain, Fang Yun would become the first Elementary Scholar in history to reach the Fourth Mountain.
