More than 30 armored ox carriages carrying more than 400 people drove in the direction where the demons escaped.
An Chengcai sat in the armored ox carriage of the first class. He kept his head down and didn't say anything. No one knew what he was thinking.
Other than Nuu who glanced at him from time to time, the others were busy with their own things.
Mr. Wang said, "Recite the scriptures of the sages silently in your hearts to replenish your energy and vitality. Fang Yun, you still don't know how to write a battle poem. Just remember to draw your bow and shoot an arrow. With County Magistrate He and General Chen here, our poems are far inferior to yours. You don't have to do anything. Once there's danger, use the Mountain Inkstone to escape. Your life is more important than all of us combined. Do you understand? "
"I'll listen to you." Fang Yun didn't force himself. He could tell that Mr. Wang was implying something, so he tried not to expose himself.
An Chengcai raised his head and looked at Fang Yun. There was some respect and struggle in his eyes.
Fang Yun closed his eyes and recited Mencius in his heart. Reciting the scriptures of the sages not only allowed one's talent to condense, but also allowed one to recover their talent at a faster rate.
"My talent is like water. In terms of 'quality', it's not worse than a High Scholar. However, in terms of 'quantity', it's impossible for me to write a battle poem at the High Scholar level. I wonder if there's anything that can increase my current talent. "
Fang Yun searched in the world of strange books. Soon, he saw a sentence in an unofficial history: "Without a mind of wisdom, one with great talent won against eight."
"Great talent originally praised Cao Zhi and Cao Zijian. The Cao family had three great talents. Cao Cao was the most famous, and Cao Zhi was the most talented. However, he was killed by Cao Pi. But what does' great talent 'and' without a mind of wisdom 'mean? Why is it 'one against eight' instead of 'one against eight'? "
When his talent recovered, Fang Yun opened his eyes. Seeing that Mr. Yu was idle, he asked in a low voice, "Mr. Yu, what does' without a mind of wisdom 'mean? What does' great talent 'mean? "
"'Great talent' means that Cao Zijian has 80% of the talent in the world. Everyone knows that there's nothing special about him. As for the Unbreakable Heart, I've never heard of it before. Perhaps the Book Hill and the Ninth Mountain have it. However, I know that each type of Literary Heart is divided into upper, middle, and lower grades. The most common type of Literary Heart is' Vigorous Writing '. It is said that those who attain the lower grade can write a sentence in a breath, while those who attain the upper grade can write a poem in a breath. "
"Ah? So fast? It's even faster than the demonic arts of the demon race. " Fang Yun was astonished. He originally thought that writing a combat poem would take a lot of time. If he could obtain a high-grade Vigorous Brush Writing, he would only need a second to finish writing a combat poem. It was simply too fast.
Mister Yu smiled and said, "You underestimate the human race and the saints too much. What's more, this rapid writing was just an ordinary Literary Heart. There were even more miraculous things above it, such as' Empty Words', 'Irresponsible Words', and so on. It was incomparably amazing! However, Literary Heart was hard to come by, and a high grade Literary Heart was even harder to come by. However, all of us have high hopes for you. Even if you become an Elementary Scholar and ascend the Book Hill, you will not be able to attain the heart of a scholar. But if you become a High Scholar and ascend the Book Hill, you will definitely attain the heart of a scholar! You are one of the candidates for the Four Great Scholars of the next generation! "
Fang Yun smiled modestly and said, "Don't say that. The Four Great Scholars of the Ten Nations are only born every ten years. Moreover, as long as the Four Great Scholars of the Ten Nations don't die, they will become great scholars. I can't do it yet."
"You can," Mr. Wang said as he opened his eyes.
The others also nodded one after another, but no one said the reason in front of outsiders. Since Fang Yun could compose a poem, he was not only one of the candidates for the Four Great Scholars of the next generation, but he was also definitely one of the strongest candidates.
An Chengcai looked at Fang Yun with an even more respectful expression, as well as a little ashamed.
Mister Yu smiled and said, "I actually hope that you will keep a low profile. If you become too popular and soar in two or three years, you will be the last of the Four Great Scholars of the current generation. That will be a joke, haha."
Everyone smiled. Although such a thing had never happened before, it would definitely be very interesting if it really happened.
An Chengcai was the only one who did not smile.
Lu Yu saw that An Chengcai was very nervous and persuaded him, "We have a total of two Grand Scholars and nine High Scholars. One of them is a Grand Scholar and four High Scholars. They are very experienced and have the ability to kill Demon Generals alone. Our enemy is only four Demon Generals, which is more than enough to kill them. The Demon Generals are just slightly stronger High Scholars. As for the Demon Soldiers and Demon People, they are nothing at all. "
An Chengcai lowered his head and did not speak.
Mr. Wang said, "Lu Yu, don't underestimate that Demon Turtle. That Demon Turtle is as big as a house and is very likely to condense into a pseudo Dragon Ball. A pseudo Dragon Ball can collect the water of a large river. Think about how heavy it is. Once it hits you, even a Grand Scholar will be smashed to death. General Chen doesn't need to personally lead the army to kill the Demon Generals. It is very likely that he is afraid that the Demon Turtle has a pseudo Dragon Ball. If it does, I am afraid that even he will need to ask for help. "
"What is the use of a pseudo Dragon Ball?" Fang Yun asked.
"If a pseudo Dragon Ball falls into the hands of humans, it has two uses. First, it can be cultivated into a literature treasure, preferably one related to water. For example, if it is infused into the Surging Waves, it will at least double the power of a normal literature treasure, and it can be used continuously. As for the second, it can be eaten directly, and it will not be afraid of wind and waves. It will also have some special uses. However, don't think about the pseudo Dragon Ball. Think about how to save your lives. "
"Turtles have a very high status among the fish demons, second only to Dragons. The most terrifying thing about Demon Turtles is their hard shell. Once they activate their demon blood, scholars of the same level will not be able to break through their defense. Fortunately, Chen Xibi and County Magistrate He are Grand Scholars. If there are no accidents, they can slowly wear down the Demon Turtle's Qi and blood, and finally kill it. If it were a High Scholar, they would have been killed before they could wear it down, "Mr. Wang said.
Mr. Yu said, "A Demon Turtle with the blood of a pseudo dragon is not scary. The scary thing is that there are demons everywhere in the mountains. If the Dragon Turtle attracts a large number of demons, we will all die here. Even General Chen said that they will only chase for one day. If they don't see the demon by tomorrow morning, they will return."
"We won't be that unlucky, right?" Ning Zhiyuan whispered.
"There are many people who are more unlucky than us. Many talented scholars and High Scholars have either had their palaces broken, their guts broken, or died directly because of bad luck. However, there are two Grand Scholars here, so you don't have to worry too much. "
"Anyway, we will only kill demon soldiers and demon civilians. Stay away from the Demon Turtle. Grand Scholars are not afraid of the Demon Turtle, but if it goes crazy and tries to kill us, Grand Scholars may not be able to stop it."
Everyone remembered the incident with the Ming Qi Bird and was scared. If it were not for Fang Yun, they would have died.
"You can't go wrong with being careful." Mr. Wang sighed and looked out of the carriage.
The demons left a lot of traces along the way. Chen Xibi was very experienced in battle, so he sped along.
Fifteen minutes later, all the armored ox carriages slowed down because the demons had left the main road and entered the hills.
The armored oxen were very strong, but it was still very difficult for them to pull people up the hills.
Chen Xibi got everyone off the carriage and started walking. He picked out six armored ox carriages and loaded them with three days' worth of supplies and weapons. The coachman picked out six armored ox carriages and had six armored oxen pull one carriage. When they went up the hill, someone pushed them, and when they got off the carriage, someone pulled them. This way, the armored ox carriages could travel between the hills.
Everyone followed the demons' tracks and finally arrived in front of a big forest.
The trees in this forest were very tall, and the distance between the trees was very small. The ground was uneven, so even if the armored ox carriages could travel through the forest, they would soon be shaken apart.
Everyone stopped in front of the forest and sent out a scout team. Then, Chen Xibi ordered everyone to bring two days' worth of food and wear a full set of weapons and armor.
Fang Yun chose a bow and arrow, and the other students changed into armor.
An Chengcai also chose a bow and arrow, and at the same time, a sharp dagger.
Most of the soldiers had armor on their upper bodies. Before they came, they had all been strengthened by Zhuang Xingshi, so it was no problem for them to carry a hundred pounds of things.
Then, Chen Xibi gave out orders and arranged the troops. He asked everyone to pay attention to the matters of the forest battle, and finally emphasized that it was a military order.
From now on, everyone here was a soldier.
The students of the State College of Arts had also killed demons before, but that was just to hone their skills. At that time, they were still students, but now, they were soldiers, soldiers!
The three High Scholar teachers were better off, but Fang Yun and the fifteen Elementary Scholars had to force themselves to change their mentality in order to adapt to the real life of a soldier. If they were not careful, they could be punished by military law. If they made a big mistake, they could be executed.
There were no saints or empresses in the army, only superiors and subordinates. They only listened to orders and killed enemies.
The tall and dense canopy of the primitive forest blocked the sunlight, making the forest slightly gloomy. The rotten leaves on the ground emitted a moldy smell, and occasionally, poisonous insects, snakes, and rats would pass by, making people even more nervous.
More than four hundred people moved forward quickly.
General Chen Xibi and County Magistrate He walked at the front, with a sixth-ranked Deputy General on both sides. The three groups formed the shape of a triangle, and Fang Yun and the other students were in the middle. Behind them, there was a seventh-ranked Major at the rear.
Fang Yun took a deep breath and carefully observed his surroundings. He no longer treated himself as a student, but as a new soldier, observing where the veterans chose to walk, how they dealt with the poisonous insects, and how they maintained their strength.
Fang Yun discovered that other than the civil officials of Mi County and the people of the State College of Arts, there was a total of one Jinshi, four High Scholars, and at least thirty Elementary Scholars in the Official Army. This ratio far exceeded that of a normal army, and it was obvious that they were elites.
The group chased all the way, and unknowingly, night fell. At seven o 'clock in the evening, everyone rested for forty-five minutes for dinner, and then continued on their way.
The forest was pitch-black. Those who were Scholars or higher had night vision, so they were not afraid of walking in the dark. The ordinary soldiers could not, so the group had no choice but to shrink. A Deputy General held up a literary treasure inlaid with many luminous pearls. This literary treasure was originally used to illuminate underwater, but it was also very effective here.
At nine o 'clock in the evening, the group discovered that the forest in front of them was in a mess. A large number of giant trees were broken, and there was venom in some places. There were more than a hundred demon corpses. Other than the fish demons, there were also many mountain demons, indicating that the demon snake or the demon turtle had summoned the mountain demons.
Chen Xibi paused for a moment, carefully inspecting the scene of the battle. With a serious expression, he said that two more demon generals had joined in, and warned everyone to be careful, then continued on their way.
As Fang Yun walked, he recalled the map of Jiangzhou that he had seen when he was in the State College of Arts.
