Fang Yun's eyes fell on the paper.
The moment the paper was opened, Fang Yun's vision blurred. The word "ship" on the paper suddenly split into strokes, each stroke like a dragon or a snake, dancing on the paper.
But in the blink of an eye, the words were still on the paper, just like ordinary words, but very beautiful.
"The strokes are like dragons and snakes," someone whispered.
Everyone walked out of the East Gate. The Grand Scholar threw the paper into the air, turning it into a golden light that looked like a snake or dragon. The golden light was far more dazzling than the sun. Fang Yun subconsciously narrowed his eyes. He saw the golden light suddenly expand, and finally gently warped into a shape. Soon, it turned into a huge ship floating in the air.
The ship was three hundred feet tall, seven or eight stories high. It blocked out the setting sun, leaving a huge shadow on the ground that enveloped everyone.
The airship was light gold in color, with a brown wooden texture on the surface. Three white sails swayed gently in the wind. The cabin on the deck was like a three-story wooden building. Hundreds of oars lined up on both sides of the ship, like centipede legs, neatly lined up on both sides.
The passersby, whether entering or leaving, all looked at the airship and clicked their tongues in amazement.
The bottom of the airship was a foot above the ground, floating steadily in the air. Three wooden ladders stretched out from the side of the ship and quickly extended to Fang Yun and the others.
"Get on the ship."
Everyone didn't say much and stepped on the wooden ladders.
Fang Yun boarded the ship and looked around. He saw that the ship was far wider than ordinary ships. The deck was like a large drill ground, enough to carry thousands of soldiers.
Fang Yun knew that the ship was a warship, which had shown extraordinary splendor during the Three Kingdoms period. But the ship was too big and had too many flaws. It was gradually eliminated, but with the power of Half-saint, all the flaws no longer existed.
Finally, Fang Yun's eyes fell on the third floor of the ship. The person controlling the ship could release Half-saint power, sweeping away thousands of soldiers.
On both sides of the ship, there were a few emergency boats, which were like airships. They could fly for a while.
Fang Yun thought to himself that this was a real aircraft carrier.
Fang Yun stroked the side of the ship. From the outside, this ship looked no different from a real wooden ship. However, to be able to make such a huge ship fly and carry people, it was simply impossible to imagine how powerful Half-saint was. If Half-saint personally took action, he could probably make an entire city float in the air.
"Let's go to the bow and take a look!"
Fang Yun followed the crowd to the bow of the ship. Looking around, he realized that the ship and the ship were two different worlds.
Looking at the surprised pedestrians, Fang Yun understood the significance of the Kong family's gift of the boat. This matter would certainly be published in the Wen Pao and spread throughout the world.
The wooden ladder was put away and the boat was about to take off when a thunderous voice came from the East Gate, "Fang Yun, you are going to Wendou Xizhou. We are going the same way, please give us a ride."
Everyone looked over. Many people did not know what kind of expression they should use to face the group of people below.
Yan Yukong and Zong Wude were running towards them. Some people from the Yan family and the Zong family followed behind them.
Both of them were from Gyeongo, and Xizhou was in Gyeongo.
Fang Yun glanced at the scholar on the third floor of the ship, then shouted to the people outside the ship, "Please board the ship."
The wooden ladder extended out again for Yan Yukong and the others to board the ship.
Both parties met on the deck. It seemed very ordinary.
Fang Yun was going to Yan Yukong and Zong Wude's national Wendou Xizhou, while these two people from Gyeongo came to board the ship. No one could describe how exciting it was, but everyone's eyes were shining.
Yan Yukong's expression was normal, but Zong Wude and the other people from Gyeongo looked very awkward. It was as if they were naked and wearing a sweater. They felt uncomfortable all over.
"You don't have to look. I'm just taking the ship home." Yan Yukong looked very calm. Then, he looked at the aerial ship with interest.
Zong Wude continued, "I'm also taking the ship home. However, I mainly want to see someone fight a state. Humph, a certain someone must have been sent by my enemy. When I set foot on the seventh floor of the Comet Corridor, I was just about to return to my hometown in glory, but a certain someone drove a flying ship to the Wen Duel Prefecture, stealing all the limelight! Who cares about me? "
Yan Yukong said, "Why bother?"
Everyone was waiting for Yan Yukong to say something. However, he continued, "You're already used to it."
Everyone present couldn't help but laugh.
Zong Wude's face fell immediately. He gave Yan Yukong a look that said, "You win this time. Luckily, I'm not from Xizhou. If I were, I would have to jump off this ship if Fang Yun beat me in the Wendou Xizhou Wendou Xizhou as soon as I returned home."
Fang Yun glanced at the people behind the two of them. Most of them seemed unhappy, while the other half seemed hostile. They obviously couldn't accept Fang Yun's Wendou Xizhou Wendou Xizhou.
"I didn't expect the two of you to board this ship," Fang Yundao said.
Yan Yukong didn't say anything. Zong Wude said, "I didn't want to come either. However, Yukong said that the enmity between the Xun Clan and Fang Yun was a private matter, so it wasn't appropriate for others to forcefully interfere. Furthermore, the Kong Clan had given Fang Yun a skycruiser for the sake of the public. They were clear about the distinction between public and private matters, so the Xun Clan had no reason to object. As long as we keep a clear distinction between public and private interests, there is no harm in taking the boat. Besides, you chose Xi Province, and Gyeongo people who aren't from Xi Province can't participate in the Wen Duel. It's fine for us to take the boat. "
"Brother Yan is magnanimous," Fang Yundao said.
Zong Wude said, "What's there to be open-minded about? He's just looking for an excuse to watch a good show. Fang Yun, you have to think clearly. If you fall in our Gyeongo Xi Province, your reputation will be ruined. "
"Since I dare to fight a state with words, why should I care about my reputation?"
Zong Wude was speechless. He said helplessly, "Forget it. Anyway, I've seen how powerful you are in the Holy Ground. I can't beat you anyway. I'm just here to watch the show."
Someone behind Zong Wude said, "You're too … too much."
Fang Yun said calmly, "I'm sparring with the students of Gyeongo Xi Province to make friends through words. How can I be too much? That day, the High Scholars of Gyeongo crossed the river together and injured dozens of Jingguo's High Scholars. The Jingguo people know that it's impolite not to reciprocate, so they sent me to Xi Province to return the favor. How can I be too much? "
"You … How can a Wen Duel with many people be the same as a Wen Duel with one person? If you win Xi Province alone, what will happen to Gyeongo's reputation? "
"Oh, then you have to be mentally prepared."
"What do you want?" The person looked at Fang Yun cautiously. The others also looked at Fang Yun.
"I've said it before. When you become a High Scholar, fight a state with words. When you become a Grand Scholar, fight a state with words and take back Xiang Province, "Fang Yundao said.
"You …"
Many Gyeongo people were furious.
"Then I'll wait for you to fight a battle of words!"
"You're boasting shamelessly! The Xun family is in Xi Province. The elites of the Xun family are waiting for you. Do you think you'll win? Ridiculous! "
"Don't forget, if you fight a battle of words with words, we'll fight in Gyeongo. Let us choose the battle of words with words. We can even 'ban' you. Do you think you'll win just because you can write one or two poems and have guts? You're wrong! "
"Since you're going to fight a state with words, you have to win ten times in a row! Xi Province is not like those small states. The population of Xi Province is comparable to half of Gyeongo's state! Our Xi Province has more High Scholars than the two provinces of your Jing Country! "
"Oh, I understand," Fang Yun replied casually and turned to look at the scenery outside the ship.
The Gyeongo people were even more furious, but they couldn't do anything to Fang Yun. Those with high literary statuses couldn't say anything, while those with low literary statuses didn't dare to confront Fang Yun directly.
Zong Wude said, "Alright, let's go look elsewhere. Are you crazy to quarrel on a skybound ship?"
The Gyeongo people followed Zong Wude to another place. One of them asked, "Since Fang Yun wants to fight a battle of words with Gyeongo, then you'll also be a Grand Scholar. At that time, you will also become a Jinshi, and you will also meet him. Don't you care? "
"Do you think I'm that stupid? I know I'm inferior to him in every aspect, but I still want to fight him? "Zong Wude said.
"You … you're a descendant of the Half-saint family. You're the backbone of Gyeongo!"
Zong Wude rolled his eyes at that person. He said, "I'm a person first, then a Gyeongo person. You don't have to worry about me. The night before Fang Yun fights a battle of words with Gyeongo, I'll definitely go to Two Boundary Mountain or the Ancient Desolate City to fight against the barbarians! I, Zong Wude, am a student of a miscellaneous family. How can I get involved in an internal conflict? If anyone dares to tell me to fight with Fang Yun and destroy the peace and unity of the human race, I'll definitely turn against them! Hmph! "He then entered the ship's cabin.
The Gyeongo people looked at each other helplessly.
"We forgot that this guy is a talent from the miscellaneous school. Talking about national interests with him is like playing the lute to a cow."
"These soon-to-be Grand Scholars are unreliable. We'll have to rely on the old Grand Scholars of Gyeongo."
"Zong Wude is unreliable, but Yan Yukong might not be. Yan Yukong is a Confucian. If Fang Yun really wants to fight a battle of words with Gyeongo, he'll definitely step in. "
"Yes, Yan Yukong will definitely step in when the time comes!"
"Fang Yun's literary courage is strong, but Yan Yukong's literary courage has already reached the first level. He's also been honed in the Holy Ground, so he'll definitely reach the second level in less than three months! Yan Yukong has Half-saint's personal guidance, so his foundation is solid. He'll definitely surpass Fang Yun in the future! After all, the Holy Path doesn't test poetry. "
"That makes sense."
At that moment, the Grand Scholar in the captain's cabin said, "We'll set sail in ten breaths. Everyone, stand still."
Fang Yun immediately held onto the side of the ship, and the rest of the people did the same.
"Boom …"
The airship shook slightly and slowly rose.
Under the Grand Scholar's control, the airship flew higher and higher. Finally, it stabilized at about ten thousand feet above the ground and flew toward Xi State at an extremely fast speed. Not long after, the airship let out a sound that pierced through the air.
Fang Yun was stunned. He didn't expect the airship to be able to break through the sound barrier. This meant that it was flying at supersonic speed. However, on second thought, this was the work of a Saint, so it was possible that it could even exceed the speed of light.
Fang Yun looked out and saw that the entire ship was surrounded by an invisible force. Even though it was flying at an extremely fast speed, there was no wind on the deck at all.
Someone tried to flick his hand out, but it hit the invisible force wall and couldn't reach out of the ship.
It was evening, and the sun was setting in the west. Heaven and earth seemed to be separated by a strange force. Half of it was still in the light, while the other half had already sunk into dusk. There was only darkness in the distance.
The sky was divided into day and night, and everything was visible.
Fang Yun held onto the side of the ship and looked at the sky quietly. He watched the clouds drift, the mountains stand tall, the rivers flow, and the fields grow densely.
Not far away, Kong De said, "Sigh … Even if it's for the sake of avoiding war, we should still resist the demons and barbarians."
Sun Naiyong said, "I didn't think that much. I killed the demons and barbarians because I didn't want to be a slave."
"Fang Yun, why did you kill the demons and barbarians?" Zong Wude asked as he walked closer.
"For the rise of the human race."
