Fang Yun gave Kang Ha-chuan an affirmative answer.
Subsequently, Fang Yun continued to reply to everyone's letters. Fortunately, the letters did not have to be written word by word. Fang Yun could complete dozens of letters in an instant.
After a quarter of an hour, an ordinary letter flew over. Fang Yun did not intend to read it in detail. He only glanced at the signature and had to read it.
Because the one who sent the letter was Kong Delun, a good friend of many years.
When Fang Yun had become Xusheng, the various families had given him great gifts. The Yanzi Family had given him a city in the Ten Frigid Ancient Land, the Mengzi Family had given him the Great Confucian Treasure Brush, and the Confucius Family had given him a piece of land in the Confucius Ancient Land.
In the letter, Kong Delun had said that the Kong Family already knew that Fang Yun had returned. Since his realm had stabilized, he should find a time to go to the Confucius Ancient Land and accept the Kong Family's land. However, there was a condition for accepting the Kong Family's land — they had to open up a new buffer zone. Therefore, the Kong Family did not immediately give them the land. After all, at that time, Fang Yun did not have the strength to open up a new territory in the Confucius Ancient Land.
One of the Kong Family's Patriarchs had said that the Confucius Ancient Land did not need a protector, only a conqueror.
Fang Yun thought about it. The Confucius Ancient Land was very dangerous. Normally, only Great Confucians would open up a new territory. The strength of a Great Scholar was limited. Therefore, he sent a letter to Kong Delun, saying that he had completely stabilized his realm of Knowledge in the Battle World and was about to enter the Sincerity State. There was still the Righteous Heart State after that.
After sending the letter to Kong Delun, Fang Yun rested for a moment to think about the Sincerity State.
Grand Scholars of the Sincerity Realm were sincere and honest. They either kept silent, but once they opened their mouths, they had to speak their true thoughts; or they did nothing. Once they had something they wanted to do and couldn't convince themselves, they had to do it regardless of whether it was good or evil.
Once they violated the Sincerity State, they would fall to the Knowledge State.
The State of Sincerity was a strange threshold for Grand Secretaries. Many Grand Secretaries were blocked by this threshold. They repeatedly entered the State of Sincerity and repeatedly failed to enter the State of Knowing.
The Object State was to search for the laws of all things, the Truth State was to understand the laws of all things, and the Sincerity State was to understand the laws of all things. As for the Sincerity State, it was to know oneself, to be clear about what one wanted and what one should do. It seemed to have nothing to do with the state before or after.
But in reality, only by recognizing one's self could one merge with all things and reach the realm of righteousness.
The Sincerity Intent Realm could only prevent one from being deceived by oneself, while the Righteous Heart Realm could prevent one from being deceived by anything.
Human scholars often joked that there were scums among Grand Scholars, because many Grand Scholars struggled in the Sincerity Intent Realm, and kept learning about themselves in the Sincerity Intent Realm.
Fang Yun's experience on the Book Hill gave him some insight. Actually, whether it was studying or taking the imperial examinations, they were all about investigating the laws of all things. And the experience on the Book Hill, especially the last few hills, was about gaining knowledge and understanding of the laws of all things.
Once he left Book Hill, he needed to recognize himself and better understand the world.
Many people made many mistakes because they didn't recognize themselves, didn't know what they needed, and didn't know what they should do.
Recognizing oneself was always one of the most difficult things for human beings.
Therefore, the Sincerity Intent Realm would become a threshold that many Grand Secretaries couldn't cross in their lifetime.
The Sincerity Intent Realm was very strange.
Fang Yun heard a long time ago that Tian Songshi, the stupid scholar, would stay in other states for a long time, but he only stayed in the State of Sincerity for one day and went straight to the Righteous Heart Realm.
Many people thought it was just a story. Later, Tian Songshi admitted in public that he indeed had "the Sincerity Intent Realm in the morning and the Righteous Heart Realm in the evening". This was even recorded by historians and scholars as a letter history.
Many people asked Tian Songshi what he had done that day, and why he had been able to advance a level in a single day. Tian Songshi replied that there was no difference between that day, the day before, or the day after. He did what he usually did that day, and then without any warning, he advanced to the Righteous Heart State that night.
Equally interesting was the Grand Secretary Flower Lord. This person was overflowing with talent. He was promoted to Grand Secretary at the age of 47. In six months, he advanced from the State of Investigating Matter to the State of Knowing, and then to the State of Sincerity. This speed even surpassed many geniuses such as Yi Zhishi.
But from the first time he advanced to the State of Sincerity, Flower Lord began his legendary life. He was already 95 years old when he reached the State of Knowing. In these 48 years, he kept returning to the State of Knowing and advancing to the State of Sincerity. He never stopped and never entered the Righteous Heart Realm.
Even so, Flower Lord didn't give up his pursuit of women. He was happy without women every night and had groups of wives and concubines. He became one of the four weirdos of the human race.
After reaching the State of Sincerity, Flower Lord broke through to the Righteous Heart Realm for the first time and quickly became a Grand Secretary. He was working hard to break through to the Great Confucian, and was a hot topic of discussion among scholars everywhere.
Flower Lord and Foolish Great Confucian were both legends, but they walked on different paths.
Fang Yun remembered that he hadn't sent a letter to Tian Songshi yet, so he found Tian Songshi's letter and read it again before replying.
Tian Songshi's letter was very different from others. He simply described some of his experiences and said that he was preparing to go to the Sacred Burial Valley. He then asked Fang Yun how he was these days and whether he had learned anything on the Divine Path. They could communicate with each other.
After replying to Tian Songshi, Fang Yun took out the Sacred Bone Great Confucian Treasure Pen that the Mencius gave to Xusheng.
The Great Confucian Treasure Pen was usually made from the bones of the Great Demon Kings. Among them, the bones of the Great Dragon Kings were the most common. Except for a few people who used the bones of the Great Confucian Treasure Pen to make special Great Confucian Treasure Pen or key parts of the mechanism, most of them were used as materials for the Half-saint Treasure Pen.
Refining a Half-Saint artifact required a great deal of Sacred Bones, Sacred Blood, and other sacred items. Back then, in order to refine the armillary sphere, Zhang Heng had accumulated enough Sacred Bones, Sacred Blood, and other sacred items to assemble the bodies of ten Half-Saints of the Demon Race.
Only the Confucius Clan and the Quasi-saint Clan would be willing to use the Saint Bone to refine the Great Confucian Treasure Pen. Moreover, this kind of Great Confucian Treasure Pen was only given to the Great Confucian Treasure Pen in the clan. Once the Great Confucian Treasure Pen passed away, the clan would take it back.
An ordinary Great Confucian Treasure Pen could form fifty percent of the treasure light when writing war poems. A special Great Confucian Treasure Pen could form a complete layer of treasure light at the highest, while the Sacred Bone Scripture Treasure Pen could increase the treasure light by two layers. At the same time, the war poems sealed within the Sacred Bone Scripture Treasure Pen were all second level Great Confucian war poems.
This Sacred Bone Scripture Treasure Pen was sealed with the famous Great Confucian war poem, Fu of Three Capitals.
Before the rise of war poems, there was a literary style that could also allow scholars to use the Qi of Heaven and Earth for their own use. That was the Han Fu. However, the Han Fu was too long, with thousands or even tens of thousands of words. It was difficult to use it in battle, so it was gradually eliminated. However, it was still a branch of war poems.
Although this kind of war poem was tedious, because there were many words and detailed descriptions, once it was turned into a war poem, its power would be stronger, but it would consume more talent.
This kind of war poem was not suitable for the battlefield, but if it was sealed in a Treasure Pen, it could be released instantly. This made the war poem the first choice of many powerful Treasures Pen.
This Fu of Three Capitals was a legendary Han Fu written by the Great Confucian Zuo Si. It described the capital of the Wei, Shu and Wu dynasties. After it was written, people competed to copy it, and finally it became the story of "Luoyang Paper Is Expensive".
