The Path of the Sage

ust one sentence, the artistic conception of the poem was elevated to a very high level.

The literal meaning alone was not enough to make Lai Yong react this way, but Lai Yong was talented himself and immediately thought that Fang Yun might be talking to Pan ’er, giving this sentence a different meaning.

A few talented scholars secretly looked at Pan ’er, but Pan ’er was a packaged ”female talented scholar ” and it was her first time hearing it.
She thought it was about spring scenery, but she vaguely felt that there was more to this poem.

Fang Yun continued step by step.

”Outside the wall, passersby go by; inside the wall, the beauty laughs. ”

”As the laughter fades, the sound becomes quiet. ”

”Full of love, yet tormented by heartlessness. ”

When Fang Yun recited this poem, the talent in his body vibrated, and with his voice and words, formed a strange resonance that spread continuously around him.

All the jade and gold objects suddenly trembled lightly with Fang Yun ’s voice, and the sound of the vibration not only did not produce any noise, but also matched Fang Yun ’s rhythm and was clear and melodious, as if it was actively accompanying Fang Yun.

”Golden Sound and Jade Vibration! ” Someone whispered softly.

Everyone present was affected by the Golden Sound and Jade Vibration and most of them showed joy, as if they were in the most beautiful spring scenery.

A few sour talented scholars even shook their heads and repeated this poem in a low voice, as if they were drunk.

Several singing girls couldn ’t help but hum to the tune of ”Butterfly Lovers ”, becoming more and more joyful as they sang.

Even the maids who couldn ’t read were influenced by this poem and stared foolishly at Fang Yun ’s back, wanting to keep this great talent, even if they had to pay for it.

This was the terrible aspect of the Golden Sound and Jade Vibration.
Even gold and jade could be shaken, let alone people ’s hearts.

The more talented a person was, the less they were affected.

Those few who were less affected looked at each other, seeing the surprise in each other ’s eyes.
Because this kind of poem with Golden Sound and Jade Vibration was nothing, if war poetry could also form Golden Sound and Jade Vibration, it would double the range of war poetry and instantly kill a large number of enemies.
It was a very terrifying phenomenon of poetry.

This meant that there was a very small possibility that Fang Yun ’s future war poetry could trigger the Golden Sound and Jade Vibration.

These few people quietly moved away from Guan Yaoyuan and others.

As Fang Yun left, the Golden Sound and Jade Vibration weakened, and some people looked at Guan Yaoyuan and Pan ’er with strange eyes.
Because the latter part of this poem was about a passerby hearing a woman playing on a swing inside the wall, but the woman ’s laughter disappeared quickly, and the passionate passerby felt abandoned.

The last sentence was extremely straightforward, and Pan ’er ’s face turned pale.

Others might think that this poem was about her being self-righteous, but to Guan Yaoyuan and Pan ’er, it was Fang Yun mocking them for being futile no matter what means they used, just like the passerby in the poem, seeking trouble for themselves.

Fang Yun took eight steps, reciting this poem slowly, and then left slowly.Fang Yun didn ’t look back, because he believed in the charm of the famous poem by the poetry sage Su Shi.

”Quickly write it down! ”

An accomplished scholar hurriedly picked up his brush and wrote out the entire poem ”Butterfly Love Flower Spring Scenery ”.

The flowers have lost their red, the green apricots are small.
When the swallows fly, they circle around the houses by the green water.
The willow branches are blowing softly, but there are even fewer.
Where in the world is there no fragrant grass?

Inside the wall, there is a swing, outside the wall, there is a road.
The passersby outside the wall, the beautiful women inside the wall smile.
The laughter gradually fades away, and the sound gradually becomes quiet.
The passionate are annoyed by the heartless.

Many people looked at the complete poem and were silent for a long time.

”Talent that is breathtaking, at least in Mingzhou. ”

”Perhaps in a few years, this poem could reach the level of Zhen Guo. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

”That line ’Where in the world is there no fragrant grass? ’ perfectly captures the coming and going of spring. ”

As soon as this was said, many people looked towards Pan Er.

Pan Er also had a complete poem in front of her.
As she looked at it, tears blurred her vision.
Her face showed regret and self-blame, rather than disappointment from being abandoned.

The most frightening aspect of the Golden Sound and Jade Vibrations is that it can stir up people ’s emotions.
The more talented the person, the less affected they are.
If war poems could also create Golden Sound and Jade Vibrations, it would double the range of war poems and instantly kill a large number of enemies.
It is a terrifying phenomenon of poetry.

The accomplished scholars present had already understood that Pan Er was the one who set up a trap to harm Fang Yun.
Unfortunately, because she lacked talent and had evil intentions, she was instead affected by the Golden Sound and Jade Vibrations.

Gao Minghong had always felt guilty towards Fang Yun and thought he should not have invited him to the Lixia Literary Society, which almost caused Fang Yun ’s literary reputation to be damaged.
He hated Pan Er and Guan Yaoyuan.

Gao Minghong stood up and was about to chase after Fang Yun.
He saw the green bean cake on the table out of the corner of his eye, and after a moment of thought, he adapted the Han Dynasty ’s ”Song of a Beautiful Woman ” and recited it on the spot.

”There is a beautiful woman in Jiangzhou, unique and independent.
The beautiful woman laughs repeatedly, but is not as good as a green bean cake. ”

Gao Minghong finished speaking and quickly left.

None of the accomplished scholars present laughed, but the songstresses and maids who envied Pan Er all laughed.

Gao Minghong, the leader of the Lishan Society, left, and the others immediately followed suit.
The other members of the poor scholars ’ literary society also left one after another.

Pan Er cried non-stop.

Guan Yaoyuan thought to himself that Pan Er had no talent to protect herself and had fallen too deeply.
She had taken the people in this poem as her own and was likely to have truly fallen in love with Fang Yun, exposing them.

Guan Yaoyuan was about to persuade her when Pan Er suddenly cried out, ”Pan Er apologizes to Lord Fang! Today, Pan Er will leave the world and cleanse herself of her sins, praying for Lord Fang every day. ” She finished speaking and ran away in tears.

Guan Yaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
This meant that Pan Er would not betray them.

Yan Yue whispered, ”Yaoyuan, what should we do about Liu Shao ’s satirical poem about Fang Yun? Fang Yun was always proactive, and I never had a chance to recite it.
Later, his Golden Sound and Jade Vibrations were too powerful, and I could only watch him leave. ”

Guan Yaoyuan said in a hateful tone, ”If it ends like this, Liu Shao will definitely not be happy.
Besides, that satirical poem was made by Da Shao, and we cannot keep it hidden.
Let ’s immediately follow Fang Yun.
When he stops or arrives home, we will recite that poem in front of everyone and then publicize it widely to continue to damage his literary reputation. ”

Yan Yue sighed, ”Ah, we shouldn ’t have invited him.
Now, we have forced him to create a Mingzhou poem, which will inevitably be published in ’The Path of the Saints ’.
If this literary society event is published in ’The Path of the Saints ’, we will become the clowns who will be remembered for eternity. ”Guan Yaoyuan gritted his teeth and said, ”If he can ’t come up with such good verses, maybe he can live a little longer.
This verse will soon become the cornerstone of the nation.
Who can suppress him then? Will the Liu family let him go? He won ’t live long! ”

Yan Yue suddenly realized something.

”Let ’s go! Follow Fang Yun! ”

Guan Yaoyuan shouted loudly, ”Fang Yun is a great talent! I want to apologize to him with Yan Yue.
He can write verses, but he is humble and discreet, a true scholar with great character! ”

After speaking, he led the people from the English Society onto a carriage and chased after Fang Yun ’s carriage.

After the conjunction host left, the others did not linger and sat on the carriage to follow Guan Yaoyuan, wondering if he would really apologize or not.

On the road from Wuli Village to Dayuan Prefecture, more than twenty carriages formed a line, raising dust lightly.
