The last time someone knocked on the door, he opened the door rashly and let the students from the Confucius family and the Ke family come in to look for trouble, forcing Du Ning to engage in a literary fight.
So this time, the three of them have learned the lesson from the last time. No matter who comes to knock on the door, they must first ask the other party's identity before they can consider whether to open the door.
"Fan Heshan, a great scholar from the Yun Kingdom, came to visit." Fan Heshan's voice sounded.
The expressions of the three people changed with shock. They never expected that a great scholar would come to visit, and that Fan Heshan was also the descendant of Fan Qianfeng, the half-saint of the Yun Kingdom, and was of the true bloodline of the semi-saint.
As a result, the three of them immediately stood up from their seats.
Then Du Ning went to open the door for Fan Heshan.
"Du Ning, a student from Yun State (Tian Feipeng, a student from Jingguo, and Fu Yue, a student from Pingguo), have met Mr. Heshan."
The three of them immediately bowed and introduced their names at the same time.
Fan Heshan just raised his hand in return and said with a smile: "Sorry to disturb you."
"What did Mr. Heshan say? We are deeply grateful that you came to see us."
Du Ning said hurriedly: "The three of us are drinking tea and discussing here. If Mr. Heshan doesn't mind, how about coming in for a cup of tea?"
"Okay! I'll excuse you then."
Fan Heshan smiled slightly, walked into the dormitory and sat down in the guest seat.
The three of them took their seats again.
Tian Feipeng skillfully made tea for Fan Heshan, while Fu Yue looked as usual.
Both of them are students from aristocratic families, and many of the scholars they often come into contact with are Confucian and Taoist scholars and great scholars, so even if Fan Heshan is in front of them, they can remain calm and look as usual.
Fan Heshan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Not bad! The taste is sweet and not bitter at all. The tea is warm but not hot, which is the essence of the tea ceremony."
"Mr. Heshan, thank you for the award."
Tian Feipeng said: "It's a pity that it is not the best spiritual tea. I have neglected Mr. Heshan. Please forgive me for the lack of etiquette."
Students from various countries have different rules regarding tea ceremony and have different standards for treating people of different identities and statuses.
Those who have the same status as you, or those who are inferior to you, can use the tea you drink daily.
If you meet a scholar whose identity and status are much higher than your own, such as a Confucian and Taoist scholar or a great Confucian, you must use the best green tea leaves, otherwise it will be against etiquette.
It's okay to be a little rude to Jinshi and Hanlin scholars, but great scholars and great Confucian scholars are simply geniuses in Confucianism and Taoism. If you violate the etiquette of great scholars and great Confucian scholars, you may be punished by the local yamen.
Either a fine or a slap in the face.
In short, scholars who have reached the level of scholar and scholar in Confucianism and Taoism will have more status than Jinshi and Hanlin, and they must not violate etiquette.
Fan Heshan came uninvited today, and Tian Feipeng was not well prepared. Strictly speaking, it is not a breach of etiquette. After all, who would have thought that a great scholar from the Holy Academy would come to visit in the dormitory?
Therefore, Tian Feipeng had to apologize to Fan Heshan even if he did not apologize.
Fan Heshan waved his hand and said disapprovingly: "Compared to the quality of tea leaves, we scholars should pay more attention to the skill of making tea, which lies in the time when the tea leaves are placed in the pot and the control of the heat. Even if it is ordinary people's tea leaves
, it is also a rare taste in the world, Tian Xiaoyou’s tea art is amazing, I like it very much."
"Thank you, Mr. Heshan, for the compliment. The students are really ashamed of it."
Tian Feipeng was also very happy when he heard this, but still wanted to be humble in front of Fan Heshan.
Du Ning smiled and said: "Brother Tian is too modest. Your tea skills are really amazing. Brother Fu and I drank a lot tonight!"
Fu Yue also smiled and nodded, agreeing with Du Ning's words.
"As long as you like it, come on, let's continue drinking tea."
Tian Feipeng poured tea for everyone and everyone drank together.
"Mr. Heshan, you are here, do you have any advice?" Du Ning asked.
"Oh, I almost forgot to get down to business."
Fan Heshan said seriously: "I want to tell you a very important news. The 'Three Realms Mountain' that is held once every ten years will be reopened. You are all elites among Jinshi from various countries, and you will be selected by the Holy Academy to go to the 'Three Realms Mountains'."
A seasoned man of the mountains."
After hearing the word "Three Realms Mountain", the expressions of the three people suddenly became very serious.
The Three Realms Mountain is a thousand-year forbidden land that connects three worlds at the same time: the human world, the demon world, and the Rakshasa world.
The human world refers to the territory where humans live in the Holy Forest Continent, the demon world is where the monsters live, and the Rakshasa world is the territory of alien humans.
The human race practices Confucianism and Taoism. Headed by the Holy Academy, under the leadership of the saints, they occupy the Central Plains with the Holy Forest Continent.
The Monster Clan is headed by the Four Saints of the Dragon Clan who occupy the sea areas outside the four continents, and forms a Monster Clan country. All monsters follow the Dragon Clan's lead.
The Rakshasa tribe is a heterogeneous human being who practices magic. They are prone to killing and have almost no moral standards. They engage in intrigues and deceive each other, and the weak eat the strong. Whoever has a bigger fist can give orders, and even do whatever they want, and do all kinds of evil.
Sanjie Mountain is the critical point of these three worlds.
Speaking of this Sanjie Mountain, it has a thousand-year history.
It is said that a hundred years after the death of Confucius, there was a heyday when various schools of thought contended, and many saints were born.
It was a time when saints competed and the human race was at its unprecedented peak.
What I didn't expect was that in order to compete for the territory of the Holy Forest Continent, the demon clan and the Rakshasa clan broke out for the first time "The Great War", and the human race was also forced to be involved. This war lasted for a hundred years.<
/p>
After the Great War, saints from all walks of life fell one after another, and the entire Holy Forest Continent flowed with blood. After three defeats, everyone was at the end of their strength and could no longer fight.
Therefore, the top leaders of the three realms could only sign a peace agreement and cease the war at the same time, and the tribes from all realms could go back to recuperate.
However, the hatred of the three realms has not ended. There will still be multiple forces fighting and competing secretly. Occasionally, saints from all walks of life will be dispatched to fight, and saint-level powerhouses will fall at every turn.
The top leaders of the Three Realms thought that continuing the fight was not an option, so they sent envoys to conduct "Three Realms Negotiations".
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
After more than a month of discussions, the saints designated a forbidden area at the critical point of the three tribes' territory, with a period of fifty years, for young people at the seventh and sixth grades, which are equivalent to Confucian and Taoist Jinshi and Hanlin cultivators.
Geniuses from all walks of life enter the Three Realms Mountain to fight.
In order to prevent other tribes from secretly breaking the rules of the Three Realms Mountain, the saints of all races used the Qi of each race as a bargaining chip and swore an oath between heaven and earth. If one party violates the oath and sends a strong man of fifth or fourth grade to oppress in the Three Realms Mountain
For other realm clans, a large amount of fortune of the entire clan or even multiple national fortunes of the disobedient party will be swallowed up and divided by the other two parties.
Those who resist the oath of heaven and earth will suffer the punishment of heaven from the Holy Forest Continent. Even the living saints will not dare to deceive heaven.
With such a buffer, most areas of the Sacred Forest Continent were able to achieve peace, and at the same time they had a place to vent their feuds.
It is better to block than to open up.
Therefore, while the three major realm clans are recovering, they continue to use the fifty-year interval to cultivate elite geniuses. When the specified date is reached, they will open the forbidden area and go to the Three Realms Mountain to kill the geniuses from the other two realms.
In order to win the victory in the Three Realms Mountain, there are also some geniuses who do not hesitate to bring in exotic treasures that exceed their own realm, but without exception, they are all destroyed.
In the end, if those treasures were not obtained by people of the same clan, they would fall into the hands of other clans, or they would be buried deep in the Three Realms Mountain.
As more and more geniuses fall into it, many ancient treasures are buried there. There is not only bloodshed but also various opportunities.
As a result, the geniuses from all walks of life who entered the Three Realms Mountain in later generations not only shouldered the feud of killing other races, but also had the task of retrieving various ancient treasures buried in it.
As time went by, races from all walks of life regained their prosperity, and the "fifty year" period was gradually shortened to "ten years."
Ten years is neither long nor short.
However, with the current resources of all walks of life and all races, ten years is enough to cultivate many outstanding geniuses, even the proud ones of the same level.
Send the cultivated geniuses to the Three Realms Mountain. After undergoing training, the surviving geniuses will become the elite among geniuses, receive more resources for training, and their future achievements will be immeasurable.
It’s just that the Three Realms Mountain is too dangerous. Without a powerful treasure, no matter how talented a scholar he is, he would not dare to enter it rashly.
Throughout the ages, countless geniuses have fallen in the Three Realms Mountains, and not everyone is willing to go. However, as scholars of the human race, especially students from aristocratic families with high status, they must take the lead, and sometimes they have no choice but to do it for the sake of the human race. p>
For example, aristocratic families like the Kong family and the Ke family will send elites to the Three Realms Mountains every time they open, and they are also from families with very solid backgrounds.
They will be fully prepared, and even if they encounter danger suddenly, they will be able to react quickly and escape safely.
With aristocratic families taking the lead, all countries will naturally send scholars to actively participate, not only for their own countries, but also for the entire human race.
There is no way around this. If you don't participate in the Three Realms Mountains, it is possible that the demon clan and the Rakshasa clan will think that the human race is already afraid. When they completely think that the human race can be bullied, they will look for opportunities to provoke a new "prehistoric war"
”.
The Holy Academy encourages scholars to actively participate in the experience of the Three Realms Mountains. As long as scholars participate in the Three Realms Mountains, regardless of whether they gain something or not, they will be regarded as pioneers of the human race and receive rewards from the Holy Academy, and can also exchange for many benefits for the family.
Some of the sudden rises of aristocratic families in various countries were also due to the fact that some people died in the Three Realms Mountains, thus receiving generous rewards from the Holy Court, allowing the family to develop rapidly.
Sanjie Mountain is extremely dangerous and dangerous, and it is a training ground for geniuses. Some scholars who aspire to become geniuses will go to Sanjie Mountain to make meritorious deeds.
Even if you die in battle, you will be regarded as a hero by the human race as a spiritual role model, and your name will go down in history.
And as a scholar, when the human race needs you, you can stand up and shed blood for the human race. Reading the books of sages is not in vain, and you are worthy of being among the saints.
Of course, the so-called genius must be self-aware.
If you don’t go to Sanjie Mountain for some reason, it’s not a scandal. After all, there are many ways to contribute to the human race, and Sanjie Mountain is just one of them.
But there must be brave men under heavy rewards. The many rewards given by the Holy Court alone are enough for a poor family to lay the foundation for cultivating a noble family for future generations. It is also a glimmer of hope for some scholars who are in decline and are eager to make a comeback for their families.
Du Ning also learned about the Three Realms Mountains from books.
Now that Fan Heshan came to tell him about this, he suddenly felt a little more pressure on his shoulders.
Du Ning is now a very famous figure in various countries. If he is selected as a trained person by the Holy Academy, even he himself will not find it strange, even if it is dangerous in the Three Realms Mountains.
But so what?
The reason why scholars are scholars is that they should sacrifice their lives and blood for the human race and write the eternal history books with passion. What's more, Du Ning is a young man. If he doesn't even dare to join the Three Realms Mountains, then he is still reading a damn book.
?
"If the human race needs it, if there is a call from the Holy Academy, let me, Du Ning, go up the mountain of swords and the sea of fire. It is my duty as a student."
Du Ning just thought about it for a moment before he was mentally prepared and expressed his stance to Fan Heshan.
Tian Feipeng and Fu Yue looked at Du Ning in surprise. They didn't expect that he could be so courageous and not afraid of the risks in the Three Realms Mountains.
[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguoyuedu! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read aloud and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here. yeguoyuedu ]
Fan Heshan was also quite surprised. He just tentatively told the news, and Du Ning quickly made preparations.
"Since Brother Du is willing to share the worries of the human race, I am not a coward. As your roommate, I, Tian Feipeng, am also willing to follow." Tian Feipeng said.
Fu Yue also said: "There is also Fu, who also wants to experience the genius of the demon clan and the Rakshasa people. We must not disgrace the reputation of our three outstanding scholars."
Fan Heshan was in awe and admired the three of them, and said: "I deeply admire you for having such ambitions, but you don't have to be too serious. The experience in the Three Realms Mountains is full of dangers. The Holy Court will make arrangements for you to participate.
Students who undergo trials from various countries are only likely to be selected by the Holy Academy as experienced scholars. The details will depend on the arrangements of the Holy Academy."
Du Ning said: "I'm afraid that even if I don't want to go to Sanjie Mountain, someone will try to get me to go to Sanjie Mountain."
As soon as they finished speaking, Tian Feipeng and Fu Yue's expressions turned slightly ugly.
Fan Heshan was even more surprised and a little angry.
He is a great scholar and can quickly hear the hidden meanings of Du Ning.
Du Ning had offended the students of the Ke family and the Confucian family. If the great scholars of the Ke family and the Confucian family recommended Du Ning as an experienced person in the Holy Academy, then Du Ning would have to go.
"Du Ning, as long as you say now that you don't want to go to Sanjie Mountain, I dare to guarantee in the name of the Yun Kingdom's Half-Saint Family that no one in the Holy Court can force you to go." Fan Heshan said loudly.
"Thank you, Mr. Heshan. I understand what you mean, but I am not only a scholar from the Yun Kingdom, but also a scholar from the human race. If I cannot contribute to the safety of the human race, then I am not worthy of reading the books of sages, nor am I worthy of possessing talents. If I am a sage,
If the hospital needs me to go to Sanjie Mountain, then I will definitely go."
Du Ning's tone was firm, without any wavering, and his words also had an invisible power of literary courage.
