CH 211

Name:The Path of the Sage Author:
After finishing the first half of the poem, the paper was silent, and the words resonated on their own.

A clear and elegant voice, similar to Fang Yun's, began to recite the poem. The voice was not loud, but it instantly spread throughout the City of Confucius, the entire Qufu Prefecture, the entire Lu State, and finally into the sea.

All living beings within tens of thousands of miles heard the voice reciting "Prelude to Water Melody".

"How often is the moon full, I ask the blue sky with a cup of wine. I wonder what year it is in the heavenly palace tonight. I wish to ride the wind and return, but I fear the jade towers and pavilions high above may be too cold. Dancing to cast a clear shadow, how is it like being in the mortal world."

Countless people stepped out of their homes, out of their lanes, looking towards the direction of the voice, billions of people were shocked by these beautiful sentences.

Almost everyone wanted to fly into the sky with the wind, just like the poem said.

In the square of the Confucius Mansion Academy, no one made a sound, it was completely silent.

"With this poem out, it will surely be heard for thousands of miles, the third anomaly." The Tyrant whispered.

Fang Yun began to write the second half of the poem.

"Turning the red tower, lowering the silk window, reflecting the sleepless. There should be no resentment, why is it always full when it's time to part? People have joys and sorrows, partings and reunions, the moon has its phases, this is an ancient difficulty. But I wish people could live long, sharing the beauty of the moon even if they are thousands of miles apart."

After Fang Yun finished the last character, a five-foot-tall pillar of talent rose up. Unlike the other pillars of talent that rose steadily, this pillar of talent rolled like an orange cloud, which was quite beautiful.

At the end, Fang Yun wrote: On the Mid-Autumn Festival in the City of Confucius, I wrote this piece, also thinking of Yu Huan.

Then, a shocking scene occurred. All the characters actually left the paper and flew in mid-air. These black and gold-edged characters kept flying in the sky like playful birds, then they formed a line and circled around Fang Yun for a while before returning to the paper.

Fang Yun saw that when the characters fell on the paper, they were crooked. Then they playfully twisted and turned for a while before returning to their original positions.

"Words dancing! The fourth anomaly!"

This time it was not just The Tyrant who spoke, but hundreds of people together.

Except for The Tyrant, everyone stood up.

The scene was silent again, the full emotions of the text jumped off the paper. Especially the open-mindedness in the text and the final blessing, immediately elevated the artistic conception of the entire poem to the night sky.

Many Great Scholars opened their mouths, wanting to comment, but then closed their mouths in disappointment. The Nation's poem could be commented on, but this poem that was spread to the world, at least needed a Semi-Saint to comment.

The host was about to praise Fang Yun, but suddenly closed his mouth and retreated in surprise. The people behind Fang Yun also retreated, almost everyone was surprised to see what was in front of Fang Yun.

Because a moon more than a person high suddenly appeared in front of Fang Yun, bright and clear.

In the distant Jade Sea City, Yang Yuhuan was holding a little fox, sitting in the courtyard looking at the moon.

Jade Sea City is less than ten thousand miles from the City of Confucius, the sound of "Prelude to Water Melody" also came over. Yang Yuhuan was a little confused at first, but felt a faint sadness after listening to the end.

The little fox, however, was as if it had been let loose, jumping out of Yang Yuhuan's arms. It stood upright on the ground, dancing with its hands and feet, and kept exchanging glances with Yang Yuhuan, as if saying: Look at me, look at me, am I dancing like the poem says, dancing to cast a clear shadow?

Yang Yuhuan was amused by the cute little fox and laughed. She was about to speak when she was surprised to see a round moon appear in front of her, standing upright in front of her. In the moon, Fang Yun was standing behind a desk, holding a brush and looking at her.

"Ying Ying!" The little fox was so excited that it almost went crazy, and jumped directly into the moon.

The little fox blinked and found that its body seemed different, it had become a light made up of moonlight. The shape was exactly the same.

It looked around and found itself in a strange place, which seemed to be a high platform with countless people below, all looking at it curiously.

"Nunu?" Fang Yun walked around the desk and looked at the little fox in confusion.

The little fox looked up and immediately grinned, then jumped into Fang Yun's arms. Fang Yun quickly reached out to hold it, but found that he couldn't feel anything, as if he hadn't touched anything.

The little fox stood steadily on his hand. It seemed to notice the strange touch, looked down, then shook its little head and didn't think about why. It looked up at Fang Yun and cried out, the sound was incredibly clear, as if asking: Do you miss me? Do you miss me? Do you miss me? Say it!

Fang Yun laughed happily and said, "I miss you to death!"

The little fox immediately squinted its eyes, looking extremely happy as it burrowed into Fang Yun's arms.

Fang Yun held the little fox and looked into the moon, waving to Yang Yuhuan, saying, "Yuhuan, you come over too."

Yang Yuhuan was still confused, but she knew that Fang Yun wouldn't lie to her, so she carefully lifted her skirt and carefully walked through the moon.

As she passed through the moon, Yang Yuhuan's body also changed, from a solid body to an opaque light body composed of moonlight, like a fairy walking out of the moon, even more beautiful and charming.

As Yang Yuhuan appeared on the high platform, the round moon disappeared.Fang Yun was accustomed to seeing Yang Yuhuan, but under the moonlight, she exuded an ethereal elegance, mystery, aloofness, and beauty. Dressed in a long gown, she was like a living fairy in the moon, making Fang Yun feel as if he was in a dream.

"Spin around for me." Fang Yun gestured with his hand.

Still confused, Yang Yuhuan, who always listened to Fang Yun, gently turned around on the spot. Her long hair fluttered, her skirt billowed, and the moonlight shimmered.

Looking at Yang Yuhuan, everyone felt as if she was illuminating the world.

When Yang Yuhuan finished her turn, the whole scene exploded.

"Chang'e!"

"Fang Yun, you're amazing, you've summoned Chang'e!"

"And the Jade Rabbit! So cute!" A girl shouted loudly.

"We scholars usually just drink with courtesans, but Fang Yun, with just a poem, summoned Chang'e. He is truly a dragon among men! This is the pinnacle of elegance!"

"Fang Yun must be the God of Literature incarnate. Who else could summon a fairy from the Moon Palace!"

"Look, the people from the Meng family look like they've seen a ghost. Fang Yun's beloved is Chang'e, what does their family amount to? Hahaha! Delightful!"

"It must be Chang'e, there's even a Jade Rabbit!"

"Fang Yun will be my role model for life!"

Ci Jun asked in confusion, "A beauty under the moon, is this the fifth anomaly?"

Yang Yuhuan twisted her hands together, shyly lowering her head. Only during her spin did she realize that there were hundreds of thousands of people around her, all seemingly able to see her.

Fang Yun looked at the shy Yang Yuhuan, somewhat incredulous, thinking: Has this poem become a holographic projector in this different world? And it even comes with a beauty filter?

"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival." Fang Yun smiled at Yang Yuhuan.

"Ying ying ying ying!" The little fox also called out in a rhythmic manner.

Only then did Yang Yuhuan raise her head and softly ask, "Hmm. But what's going on?"

Fang Yun replied, "I'm not quite sure either, but it seems that this 'Prelude to Water Melody' has a special effect. In the line 'A thousand miles share the beauty of the moon', the beauty refers to the moon, which brought you here. The glow on you is fading, I'm afraid it will disappear soon."

"Ah?" Yang Yuhuan let out a soft exclamation. Then a blush crossed her face, she stepped forward and extended her hand, whispering, "I missed you."

Favored by the beauty, Fang Yun was overjoyed. He also extended his hand, and although they couldn't feel each other, their affection was palpable.

Zong Wude asked from the side, "Fang Zhenguo, is Chang'e's nickname Yuhuan?"

Yang Yuhuan chuckled, quickly covering her mouth with one hand.

Fang Yun introduced to the people on the stage with a smile, "This is my betrothed, Yang Yuhuan."

The host handed the amplifying conch to Fang Yun, saying, "You should explain to the people below."

Only then did Fang Yun look down at the stage. The crowd was in an uproar, with shouts of "Chang'e", "Jade Rabbit", and "God of Literature" coming from time to time.

Fang Yun smiled slightly. With his arm around Yang Yuhuan's waist, he said, "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone. This is my betrothed, Yang Yuhuan."

Someone exclaimed, "So Fang Yun's wife is Chang'e incarnate! No wonder the two of them stirred the Cowherd and Weaver Girl stars on Qixi Festival!"

"So that's why! No wonder Fang Yun said that the Meng Saint Prominent Family is not as good as a bowl of Yang Yuhuan's medicinal soup. His wife is Chang'e incarnate, how can the Meng Saint Prominent Family compare?"

"Sister Chang'e!"

Fang Yun was both amused and exasperated. Even after he had said that she was Yang Yuhuan, people still mistook her for Chang'e.

There were even people in the crowd arguing whether Yang Yuhuan was Chang'e or not. Someone used the little fox as evidence, insisting that she must be Chang'e.

The giant rabbit next to Li Fanming heard this and was not convinced. It jumped onto the stage from a distance of more than a zhang, more agile than any ordinary demon soldier. Standing upright at the edge of the stage, it waved its paw at everyone, as if to say: I am the Jade Rabbit! I am the Jade Rabbit! That's a fox! It's a fox!

Li Fanming looked at its huge body and muttered, "You're an overfed Jade Rabbit."

Suddenly, everyone felt a slight tremor in the air, followed by a majestic aura descending from the sky.

Everyone looked up to see a beam of moonlight far thicker than any before, shooting straight down. The previous beams were too thin and too far away for anyone to see clearly that they came from the moon, but this time everyone could clearly see a thick beam of moonlight emanating from the moon, traversing countless miles to land in the City of Confucius.

The entire City of Confucius was enveloped in silvery moonlight.

The moonlight quickly contracted, finally converging on the stage, and then split into five.

The moonlight on Yan Yukong and the other three was denser than anyone else's before. Even though their poetic talent was not as great as the previous Presented Scholar, the moonlight that descended now was more abundant and denser, far surpassing ordinary states and almost reaching the level of a nation.

The moonlight on these four people was still semi-transparent. They should have been happy, but they were all staring blankly at the moonlight falling on Fang Yun.

The scene fell silent once again.

The moonlight enveloping Fang Yun was too abundant and too dense, it was opaque silver-white, and from the outside, one could not see Fang Yun, Yang Yuhuan, or the little fox inside."This... this much moonlight, even twice the amount of the Heavenly Transmission wouldn't reach it, right? At least a Semi-Saint would have a chance to obtain it. How could the King Wen's Prominent Family be so generous?" said Ci Jun.

"No, that's not right! The five of them didn't summon the moonlight, it descended on its own. I'm afraid it wasn't bestowed by the King Wen's Prominent Family."

Ci Jun helplessly said, "Attracting the moonlight on their own, the sixth anomaly? I must be drunk!" (To be continued.)
