Kong City. Want? Look!
After Zong Mo Ju became a saint, the Zong family started to spread and some of them spent a lot of money to buy a mansion in Kong City.
Kong City was very lively before the new year, the sound of firecrackers could be heard and the people in the streets were happy.
At night, many aristocratic families started to set off fireworks.
This year, the fireworks in the Duke Zong residence were especially bright. It was said that they spent a lot of money to order them from the Mo family.
Sheng Yuan continent had a large population and there were many dukes and kings. Hence, there were more and more naming methods. Some were named after ancient countries while some were named after their birthplace. For example, the Duke Zong residence was named after Zong Gan Fu's surname.
The firecrackers in front of the Duke Zong residence were very lively. In a side hall in the backyard, there were more than 20 scholars sitting quietly.
These scholars all had different expressions but all of them had an extraordinary aura. They were all wearing green scholar robes. Even in Kong City, where scholars walked the streets, it was not easy to invite so many Grand Scholars to attend a literary meeting.
Zong Gan Fu sat on the seat of honor. There was a small mole on the left side of her forehead. She looked dignified and friendly. Her appearance and aura were far from ordinary people.
This was a side hall but it was very spacious. The scholars sat in two rows on the floor. There was a small black table in front of each of them with food and wine. Other than the two beautiful maids behind Zong Gan Fu, there were no other maids or servants present.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone put down their cups and chopsticks.
Zong Gan Fu smiled: "This time, my Zong family, Lei family and Gu family have joined hands to gather all of you. We did not announce it in the message to prevent it from being leaked. I believe that all of you have a lot of questions. However, due to the importance of this matter, everything can only be discussed after you have made an oath. Also, Old Man, let me say this first. This matter is very dangerous and may even damage your reputation. However, once it is completed, you can accumulate wealth for ten generations. You can even become a great scholar and establish a wealthy family! "
The scholars present had different expressions. Some looked at each other, some lowered their heads and pondered. Some had a habitual smile. They did not reveal any intentions.
Only a few Grand Scholars were envious.
The difficulty of becoming a saint was as difficult as ascending to heaven. Most scholars had already given up on this idea. Thus, establishing a wealthy family after becoming a great scholar was the lifelong goal of many scholars.
Even if everyone present was a scholar, their status was much higher than ordinary scholars. Most of them only had the goal of becoming a great scholar and establishing a wealthy family.
However, it was too difficult to become a great scholar, and it was even rarer to establish a rich and powerful family.
Even the members of the Half-saint Clan, other than the direct descendants, all wanted to establish their own clan. With the support of the Half-saint Clan, their clan could last for a long time.
Unlike the Half-saint aristocratic families, the aristocratic families usually only lasted for one or two generations. After all, unless there was a great scholar in each generation, or Xusheng was one of their ancestors. Otherwise, it would be difficult to maintain it.
Even so, as long as they could establish a wealthy family, they would leave a deep mark in history. At the very least, their names would be recorded in the annals of history. You want it?
Scholars naturally seek fame more than profit.
After a while, Zong Ganming said, "If anyone doesn't want to join, they can leave now."
One of the scholars asked, "Duke Zongguo, do we have a guarantee?"
Zong Gan Cuo smiled and said, "The Old Man got a holy text from my brother. The Lei family and the Gu family also have holy power items."
The eyes of many Grand Scholars lit up. They whispered to each other.
Zong Gan Cuo looked at those people and said, "If no one leaves, then we will all swear on our respective literature tables."
When the Grand Scholars heard this. They knew that this was not an ordinary matter, because none of the Grand Scholars present had any literature tables like "Every day, every day, every day, every day, every day, every day, every day". Without these few literature tables, swearing on literature tables could not be faked.
The Grand Scholars looked at each other, then one of them released a literature table, and the others followed suit.
Literature tables appeared in the side hall one by one. A strong wind blew, and the scene was spectacular. The cups and plates trembled slightly, making crisp sounds. The tables and chairs moved slowly, and if it were not for someone protecting them, the entire side hall would have exploded in an instant.
Soon, everyone finished swearing. The bowls and plates shattered, and the tables and chairs cracked.
Zong Gan Cuo waved her hand, and the power of the literature table swept up all the food, oil, and other miscellaneous items, condensing them into a huge ball and flying out of the side hall, landing somewhere in the Duke's Public House.
Zong Gan Cuo glanced at everyone and said, "We received first-hand news from the Dragons and the Dongsheng Pavilion that the Bloodshine Ancient Land is evolving into a realm!"
All the Grand Scholars widened their eyes, and they could not hide the joy on their faces.
Ordinary scholars might not know, but these Grand Scholars knew how valuable it was for an ancient land to evolve into a realm.
The reason why Confucius Ancient Land was firmly controlled by the Kong Family and was coveted by all the aristocratic families was because when Kong Sheng arrived, the evolution had not yet been completed, and the Kong Family had obtained endless treasures and riches.
Kong Sheng contributed 100% to the establishment of the Kong Family, but at least 30% of the reason why the Kong Family had not fallen for a thousand years was because of Confucius Ancient Land.
Moreover, everyone knew how rich the Bloodshine Ancient Land was. Just the Dragon Grain Rice alone was enough to make the Half-saint aristocratic families jealous, and now that the ancient land was evolving, it would definitely produce all kinds of rare treasures.
Zong Gan Cuo was very satisfied with the Grand Scholars' reaction and smiled, "The Saints are discussing this matter. It involves an ancient land and even a future realm, and they will not be able to come to a decision without at least three to ten days. We can take advantage of this opportunity to sneak into the Bloodshine Ancient Land!"
The zither and chess players, who had their boat destroyed by Fang Yun, were among them. The zither player, Shan Rong, stroked his black beard and said, "The Grand Scholars will be punished for sneaking into the Bloodshine Ancient Land without the permission of the Notre-Dame, but they will only be exiled for ten years at most. We can afford this loss. However, the treasures we obtain will be confiscated, and we will not get a single cent. This is the key point. "
The chess player, Chai Leng, and the other Grand Scholars nodded.
Zong Gan Cuo smiled and looked at one of them, saying, "Brother Lei Tan, please explain."
Lei Tan did not say a word and just smiled. A trace of pride flashed across his face, and then he slowly took out a roll of golden cloth from his sleeve.
Just a corner of the cloth was revealed, and everyone could feel a surge of Saint Energy.
Lei Tan put it away and smiled, "Do I need to open it?"
"No need, no need."
"There's no need."
The Grand Scholars waved their hands, and many people were amazed. They did not expect the Lei family to be so willing to spend so much.
Chai Leng said, "I heard that after the Battle of Two World Mountain, the Lei family came forward and asked the Dragons of the Four Seas to fight against the Demon Realm. The Notre-Dame and the other Saints praised the Lei family's contributions and gave them three scrolls of the 'Holy Scroll of No Punishment'. As long as the Lei family does not betray the clan, they can use these scrolls to offset all their crimes. Even when the Hall of Rites sent down the 'Fire of Three Rites', the Lei family did not use the Holy Scroll of No Punishment. Who would have thought that they would use it today? It is clear that the Lei family is determined to obtain the Bloodshine Ancient Land. "
Another Grand Scholar said, "Since the Lei family took out the Holy Scroll of No Punishment, they must have other reasons. There is no harm in saying it directly."
Lei Tan smiled, "When the Bloodshine Ancient Land is upgraded, it will produce many treasures. Among them, there will be a divine item called the 'Turbid World Lotus'. No matter who obtains it, they must give it to the Lei family. Of course, the Lei family will reward them handsomely."
