Hearing the young duke mention Fang Yun's mistake, many people's eyes moved. Qiao Juze looked at Fang Yun.
Wei Yu immediately said, "This is the Lingyan Pavilion. If you tell him about this, think of the consequences!"
Many people sighed. Qiao Juze helplessly said, "Even if you use your tongue, he won't be able to hear it. After all, this is the Lingyan Pavilion." After he finished speaking, he looked at Fang Yun's back that was getting smaller and smaller.
Fang Yun rushed to the end of the hunting ground. He jumped off his horse and walked through a wooden door. The scenery in front of him changed.
He saw that the surroundings were shrouded in fog. The distance was hazy and he couldn't see anything. A pavilion appeared in front of him. The words "Etiquette" were written on the pavilion's signboard. Beside the pavilion, there was a wooden sign that was the size of two palms. It emitted a faint golden light.
On it was written: Fang Yun, ten points for archery and hunting, ten points for horse riding.
Fang Yun turned around to take a look. The fog was everywhere.
Fang Yun was not careless. After all, it was his first time entering the Lingyan Pavilion. If Wei Yu suddenly became enlightened and improved in the four arts, he might lose.
Fang Yun took a deep breath and stepped into the Etiquette Pavilion.
Four halls appeared in front of him. From left to right, they became bigger and more gorgeous. However, the history of the four halls was the opposite. The smaller the hall, the more profound it was.
The leftmost hall was a wooden hall. It was abnormally simple. It was made of thick logs stacked together. Even the bark could be seen clearly.
The second hall was made of huge stones. The signs of human labor were even more obvious.
The third hall was made of stone and mud bricks.
The fourth hall was made entirely of bricks. There were beautiful glazed tiles on top. It was even more beautiful.
These four halls represented the Xia, Shang, Zhou, and Qin dynasties. They also represented the Xia, Shang, Zhou, and Qin dynasties.
Students could choose any hall to take the test. However, the Qin dynasty could only get six points. The Zhou dynasty could only get eight points. The Shang dynasty and Xia dynasty could get ten points.
However, the majority of students did not choose the Shang dynasty or Xia dynasty. Most chose the Zhou dynasty.
This involved the origin of writing in the Saint Origin Continent.
The most ancient and mysterious script in the Saint Origin World was the Oracle Bone Script, also known as the Astronomy Script.
Back then, the Saints of the Demon Race had used all their strength to send eight Demon Saints and Barbarian Saints to break through the Double World Mountain. After entering the Saint Origin World, they immediately took control of the Shang Dynasty and began to destroy the Oracle Bone Inscriptions on a large scale.
All the legendary figures of the Shang Dynasty who knew the Oracle Bone Inscriptions were dead.
From then on, the Oracle Bone Inscriptions were almost extinct.
After King Wen killed the Seven Sages, he had been in seclusion. It was said that he was studying the Oracle Bone Inscriptions.
As for what secrets the Oracle Bone Inscriptions held, the human race had always had different opinions. However, there was a consensus. That was, unless one was a Quasi-saint, no one would be able to study the Oracle Bone Inscriptions. This was because there was once a Half-saint who studied the Oracle Bone Inscriptions which led to the decline of his Saint Dao. This caused the future Half-saints to at most have a rough understanding of the Oracle Bone Inscriptions.
Without the Oracle Bone Inscriptions, almost no one knew of Shang Li, and the earlier Xia Li had become a mystery.
Fang Yun's eyes lit up as he looked at the Great Hall of Shangli. The people of Saint Origin World might not recognize the Oracle Bone Script, but he did!
Even in Ancient Huaxia. The Oracle Bone Script had been silent for thousands of years. It was only discovered at the end of the Qing Dynasty. After that, a large number of bone fragments were excavated for research. It was discovered that there were a total of 4,500 words in the Oracle Bone Script. The meaning of the words was confirmed to be around 2,500 words.
According to the current records, some Oracle Bone Script had been excavated in Saint Origin World. However, the quantity was extremely small. There were only a few hundred items with the Oracle Bone Script on them.
Furthermore, there were records in the books. The Oracle Bone Script in Saint Origin World seemed to have a mysterious power. All those who studied the Oracle Bone Script would die one after another. Even the Half-saint's Saint Dao would decline. Therefore, the Oracle Bone Script had long been shelved by the human race. No one was studying it.
The human race was currently "searching for the Oracle Bone Script". They hoped to study the Oracle Bone Script indirectly by completing the long river of history. However, it was an extremely long process. Furthermore, the Saints of the Barbarians and Demons were obstructing them from time to time.
Zhou Li and Qin Li were the hosts of a grand ceremony. The Shang Li was different from the Xia Li. As long as one could correct the mistakes in the ceremony, one would be able to obtain a certain number of chips.
Every year, there would be some students who couldn't pass the third pavilion. They would randomly change the Shang Li, hoping to obtain enough chips to enter the next pavilion. Every year, one or two people would succeed.
Fang Yun thought for a moment and immediately walked towards the Zhou Li Great Hall.
After entering the Zhou Li Great Hall, Fang Yun felt as if he had returned to the ancient times. He saw a group of officials and servants wearing the clothes of the Zhou Dynasty bowing and greeting him together.
Next, Fang Yun asked about the purpose of this grand ceremony. It turned out that it was a grand ceremony for a duke to worship their ancestors. Therefore, Fang Yun meticulously assigned the tasks according to what he had learned. From the well-known "Eight You Dance" to the placement of the bells and cauldrons, from the selection of the patterns on the curtains to the attire of the servants, Fang Yun ordered everything regardless of whether it was big or small.
In the Confucian system, etiquette was an extremely important concept. It was similar to military discipline. Other aspects could be somewhat lacking, but if one did not respect etiquette, it would inevitably lead to a large number of attacks.
On that day, Fang Yun had only believed that Yang Yuhuan was more important than the women of the Beimeng Holy Clan, causing the Fierce Lord to fly into a rage. The Notre-Dame's Hall of Rites had even issued a letter criticizing him. However, Fang Yun's contributions were too great, and the people of the Hall of Rites had left the matter unsettled.
After presiding over the ceremony, Fang Yun left the Zhou Li Great Hall.
Unless someone could make additional additions to the Zhou Li Great Hall, no matter how well the Zhou Li Great Hall did, it would only obtain eight chips.
After the appearance of the Lingyan Pavilion, no one had obtained more than ten chips in the Ceremonial Pavilion.
When Fang Yun walked out of the Zhou Li Great Hall, there were still a few people outside. Some had just entered, while others were preparing to leave. Because some people had chosen the simpler Qin Li Great Hall, they had completed the Ceremonial Pavilion's test earlier than Fang Yun, but they had obtained the lowest number of chips.
When these people saw Fang Yun walk out of the Zhou Li Great Hall, they all bowed and greeted him.
"This Zhou Li Great Hall definitely won't be a problem for Lord Wen Hou."
"This time, I deliberately chose the Qin Li Great Hall instead of the more difficult Zhou Li Great Hall. I hope that I can enter the fourth pavilion together with Fang Zhenguo and not fall too far behind him."
A dozen people hurriedly walked towards Fang Yun, thinking that he was leaving the Ceremonial Pavilion and entering the fourth pavilion's Bouncing Wave Pavilion.
However, they suddenly stopped in their tracks. Not only did Fang Yun not leave, he was walking towards the Hall of Rites.
"Ah? Could it be that he didn't complete the Zhou Li Great Hall well, so he decided to gamble in order to pass the Ceremonial Pavilion? "
"That should be the case. Otherwise, no one would go to the Hall of Rites. Not even one in ten thousand people would be able to obtain an advantage in the Hall of Rites. On the contrary, they might suffer a loss."
"Something must have happened while he was presiding over the Zhou Li Great Hall. However, it doesn't matter. He will definitely be able to pass the Ceremonial Pavilion!"
Fang Yun walked to the Shang Li Temple and carefully observed it.
There were many items from the Shang Dynasty placed in the Shang Li Temple. They were probably all imitations. Because no one knew the Shang Dynasty's etiquette, the items were a bit messy.
A few of these utensils were engraved with the cryptic Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Fang Yun's gaze quickly landed on a table.
There were some drinking utensils on the table. Fang Yun noticed that something was wrong with the placement of the utensils.
These utensils should have been for important people to enjoy. However, one of the cups was actually engraved with the word "Qiang" from the Oracle Bone Inscriptions. In simple terms, it meant "two-legged sheep". In the Oracle Bone Inscriptions, it meant "slave".
On the side, there was a wine jug engraved with the word "Hua" from the Oracle Bone Inscriptions. This word had a very high status in the Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Later generations would research it and think that it was one of the origins of "Huaxia".
