In the capital, the people of the Meng Clan were gathered in a large courtyard. {{wx}}
"Spoilsport!" Someone said.
"It's just the final radiance of the setting sun. At most, the Divine Punishment of the Sun and Moon Trees will descend. Even if many families do their best, they won't be able to save him!"
"As long as Fang Yun dies, my Meng Clan will have a chance to take back his inheritance! That Ancestral Dragon True Blood has nothing to do with my Meng Clan, but the ten thousand year old Dragon Ginseng must be obtained! "
"Fang Yun obstructed my Meng Clan's great opportunity to rise, and even infected my Meng Clan with Evil Demons. On the day he dies, I will definitely laugh in the mourning hall! Even if he dies, this hatred will not end. Our Meng Clan must use all our strength to suppress the Fang Clan. We can't let another Fang Yun appear in the Fang Clan! "Meng Li gnashed his teeth.
Demon Realm.
Four large Moon Trees stood in the four cardinal directions. The Moon Trees were as thick as mountains and ten thousand li tall. On each of them was a blood-red moon that illuminated the entire Demon Realm.
Not long after the Dragon Ascension Platform opened, the four Moon Trees underwent a huge change.
The roots of the Moon Trees suddenly increased, and a large number of them were exposed on the ground. The ground within a thousand li radius of each Moon Tree was covered in dense roots, and a large number of Barbarians and Demonic Beasts migrated thousands of li away from the Moon Trees.
On the bark of each Demon Tree, there were many black veins ranging from a foot thick to several zhang thick. These veins were connected to the roots, constantly absorbing energy from the ground of the Demon Realm and sending it through the veins to the Moon Trees.
In these days, the four Demon Moons were constantly growing larger, and their blood-red color became more intense, forming a pressure that could intimidate thousands of Demons.
The surface of the Demon Moons was no longer calm, but covered in blood-red lightning that constantly rumbled day and night.
Countless Barbarians and Demonic Beasts were crazily absorbing the energy emitted by the Demon Moons, their strength increasing several times faster than normal.
In the sky above the center of the four Moon Trees, a deep blue whirlpool appeared. The whirlpool grew larger and larger, reaching ten thousand li in diameter, as if it had pierced a hole in the sky of the Demon Realm.
The Barbarians and Demonic Beasts were scattered on the four Demon Trees, making the final preparations for the Divine Punishment of the Moon Tree.
If the Moon Tree Divine Punishment was carried out in the Yao Realm. There was no need to accumulate so much energy for so many days. If it was a trans-realm Deity's Punishment, especially against the Human Realm that rejected the Yao Realm the most, a large amount of energy would have to be accumulated. Just the energy required to break through the Human Realm's barrier and fly would take up 70% of the total energy of the Moon Tree Deity's Punishment.
Even if only 30% of their forces entered the Human Realm, it was still enough to kill a Quasi-saint. If all the Half-saint present did not rely on external objects to resist, they would also be annihilated.
Whether it was the demons, the barbarians, or the humans, they were all busy.
West Sea.
A white dragon appeared outside the West Sea Dragon Palace. Its scales were like jade. Her dragon horns were like crystals, and her eyes were like a blue lake. There was not a single flaw on her body, as if she was the most beautiful life form in the world. She was devastatingly beautiful.
The West Sea Dragon Palace was magnificent, and the dragon gate was resplendent. However, in front of the white dragon, it was like a straw hut, dull and dull.
The members of the Sea Clan guarding the Dragon Palace were all intoxicated. Many of them even prostrated themselves on the ground in worship.
"Yuwei greets the West Sea Dragon Sage!" The White Dragon's voice was as smooth as jade. It was pleasant to the ears.
"Yuwei, why are you here?" A deep voice sounded. The voice was like a surging tsunami, grand and vast.
"Yuwei is here. I want to borrow your ancient divine item. "
"It's just an inanimate object. There's no harm in lending it to you. However, you and I are both members of the White Dragon Race. If you marry into my West Sea Dragon Palace. That ancient divine item can be given to you as a betrothal gift. What do you think? "
"Yuwei has already made a vow. If I don't become a Dragon Sage, I won't talk about marriage. I hope Your Majesty Dragon Sage will forgive me. "
"That item is a rare supreme treasure. Bensei can only unleash 20% of its power. However, if Bensei makes a move, with the help of the human saints, there is a great chance that Fang Yun can be saved. If you really cherish Fang Yun's talent, why don't you marry into the West Sea? When you become a Dragon Sage, Bensei will personally hand over the West Sea to you! "
"If Fang Yun is in the West Sea Dragon Palace, Yuwei will gladly marry him."
"Forget it. I won't make things difficult for you. Ask Fang Yun to give me that drop of Ancestral Dragon True Blood and Dragon Ginseng. Then, ask for an Ancestral Dragon Token from Ao Yu. I will lend you that ancient divine item for a hundred days. "
"I don't know how the Ancestral Dragon True Blood entered Fang Yun's literary palace. Not to mention that it is difficult to take it out, even if it is, it is too expensive to exchange an Ancestral Dragon Token for the right to use the ancient divine item for a hundred days. Fang Yun is a friend of my race. If he can compose several imperial poems in the future, it will be much more useful to us Dragons than an ancient divine item. Why don't I use Fang Yun's next imperial poem in exchange for your ancient divine item for a few days? "
"Yuwei, how did you learn to make a deal with the human race? I only want the Ancestral Dragon True Blood and the Ancestral Dragon Token. I don't want anything else! This ancient divine item contains a great secret. My ancestors found it in the Kunlun Mountains in ancient times. I will never lend it out casually! "
"Then, how about a promise from me in exchange?"
"Hahaha … You are more arrogant than that old thing Ao Yu. Why would my West Sea Dragon Palace need your help?"
"In that case, Yuwei will only do her part as a Dragon for the West Sea Dragon Palace. Other than that, I will have nothing to do with you! Yuwei will take her leave! "
The beautiful white dragon moved, turned into a white light, and disappeared into the eye of the sea.
"Arrogant! When Bensei fully understands the ancient divine item, he will definitely become a Great Sage. With the help of the ancient divine item, even if the Ancestral God descends, he will not be able to do anything to me! The ancient divine item has been acting strangely recently. It must be a great opportunity for me! Hahahaha … "
Jingguo, in front of the palace.
A eunuch walked out and shouted, "The Empress Dowager has decreed that Yang Yuhuan and the madams are invited to the Changle Palace for a chat."
With Yang Yuhuan leading the group of madams, the madams slowly entered the palace.
When they passed by the Imperial Library, Yang Yuhuan heard a commotion coming from inside. The words "Fang Yun", "Fang Zhenguo", and "Fang Wenhou" were frequently heard.
Yang Yuhuan sighed. The Imperial Library was where the Left Prime Minister, Right Prime Minister, Assistant Prime Minister, and Minister of Culture worked. It was also the "cabinet". The people who were arguing were definitely important ministers.
When Yang Yuhuan entered the palace, the golden seal above the dungeon of the Tiger Prison sucked away Fang Yun's third national poem, "Bamboo and Stone".
Outside the Tiger Prison, everyone in the palace was waiting for the final result and discussing it.
"Fang Wenhou's last poem, 'Bamboo and Stone', also has the ability to cultivate courage. However, it is not as good as' Epigraph of My Shack 'or' Song of Lime '. What a pity."
"Pity? Do you think poetry is a dish that can be cooked as you please? It is already rare to write three poems in a day. The first one is already famous. If the third one is better than the first, won't it shock the Saints? "
Qiao Juze said, "But I like 'Bamboo and Stone' more. 'Song of Lime' is good, but it is too perfect and too passive. Even if it leaves a clean record, it will only be polished by external forces. Of course, it is not that 'Song of Lime' is bad. It is just that compared to nobility, I prefer tenacity! "
The surrounding students stopped talking and listened attentively.
"'Bamboo and Stone' is not ordinary. The first line is' I will not let go of the green mountain '. The opening line is' the bamboo has its own will. It takes the initiative to fight the green mountain and will never admit defeat! '"Qiao Juze said with a faint smile on his face.
The nearby students also smiled. Both the original poem and Qiao Juze's explanation were alluding to Left Prime Minister Mount Liu.
"The second line, 'Roots in the broken rock', is the bamboo's self-recognition. Since it is here, not only does it have the adaptation that 'Song of Lime' has, but it also has the initiative to take root in the rock and change the environment that 'Song of Lime' does not have."
The crowd nodded and realized that there was indeed a difference between the two poems.
"The third line, 'Even after thousands of setbacks, still persevering', you can compare it to 'Song of Lime'. The latter is fearless, while the former is still tenacious! That is why I like 'Bamboo and Stone' more. As for the fourth line, 'Let the wind blow in all directions', it is to the point of 'mockery'. It is as if the bamboo is laughing at all the hardships. "
"Brother Qiao is right! Although I prefer 'Song of Lime', I find that the overall concept of the two is similar. "
"Brother Qiao is right. But why didn't the latter immediately suppress the country?"
Qiao Juze smiled, "Structure and rhythm. The structure of 'Song of Lime' is smoother and clearer than 'Bamboo and Stone', and the theme of 'Leave a clean record in the world' is even clearer. In terms of concept, the two are naturally similar. But in terms of sentences, 'Song of Lime' is better. If you recite it repeatedly, you will find that the rhythm of 'Song of Lime' is more beautiful. Moreover, 'Song of Lime' is more simple and is rare. "
The crowd immediately compared and felt that Qiao Juze was right.
Chen Liyue nodded and said, "After listening to Brother Qiao's analysis, I finally understand Fang Zhenguo's intention. 'Song of Lime' is too passive after all, while 'Bamboo and Stone' is more optimistic and proactive. So, he first used 'Song of Lime' to bear the hardships to show his innocence, and then used 'Bamboo and Stone' to mock the enemy and show his spirit. I suspect that if the Minister of the Left was beside Fang Yun when he wrote 'Bamboo and Stone', he would have been hurt by this poem. "
"It's hard to say …"
Not long after, the voice of an elder from the Punishment Court resounded in Jingguo.
"One of Fang Yun's poems is known throughout the world, and two of Zhen Guo's poems are known throughout the country. Thus, he has the right to participate in the examination. If he wins first place in the examination, he will have to spend an annual sum of money, and his crime will be completely erased. In the meantime, all other charges will be postponed and will be heard after the examination. "
The whole country cheered.
All the voices in the vicinity of the Minister of the Left had been suppressed, but at this moment, the power was suddenly dispersed.
"Minister of the Left, come and help me warm the bed! You were so brave in the Imperial Court. You will definitely show off your power in our Yufang Brothel … "
"Speaking of which, the eldest son of the Liu family was a frequent visitor to our brothel. He almost married a girl from our brothel!"
"Damn the heartless Liu family. She came all the way here and didn't even come out to welcome her! I'm afraid that the second son of the Liu family and the second son-in-law have forgotten to come with me … "
"Hahaha …" The prostitutes in the brothel laughed wantonly.
Dozens of miles away, the gate of the Tiger Prison creaked open. Fang Yun, dressed in a Juren robe, calmly stepped out of the gate.
Thousands of scholars cupped their hands together outside the gate.
"Congratulations, Fang Wenhou!" Everyone said in unison.
