"Draw the knife to cut off the water!" Lin Junyi leaped forward and stared forward. The water-cutting knife in his hand cut down from the sky, and a huge sword energy rushed forward like a rainbow.
"Crack!" In the bamboo forest, a row of bamboos broke in response.
Lin Junyi stopped and exhaled, with a smile on his face: "This water-breaking sword technique is indeed extraordinary."

"Hey, have you heard that a first-year freshman is actually going to fight Fang Hanwen this afternoon!"
"You really don't know how to live or die! Who is Fang Han, and can he, a freshman, challenge him?"
"I heard that the new student's name is Lin Junyi, and he is the one who had a life-and-death fight with Wu Yue from the martial arts academy not long ago!"
When dawn had just broken in the sky, almost all the students in the liberal arts department of Haoyue Academy were discussing the fight between Lin Junyi and Fang Han in the afternoon.
Although Haoyue Academy has a stipulation on literary competition, very few people will choose this method. After all, the price paid by the loser is too high. Literary people are all noble. This kind of insult of dropping out of school will be a shame for a literary student.
It's a catastrophic blow.
However, while the explosion was going on outside, throughout the morning, Lin Junyi, the person involved, stayed in the classroom reading as if it was nothing serious, as if the whole matter had nothing to do with him.
Soon, the time settled in the afternoon.
The sun is shining brightly and the autumn breeze is warm. In the huge square of the School of Liberal Arts, thousands of students from three grades are gathered here. Not only the students, but also all the teachers of the School of Liberal Arts are standing there. There is no such thing as a literary fight.
It is not a trivial matter and has a great influence, so it has attracted the attention of the hospital. Every time there is a literary battle, the hospital attaches great importance to it and sends out several prestigious scholars and scholars in the hospital to sit in charge and act as judges to show fairness.
At this moment, there are five venerable old gentlemen with profound knowledge of ancient times and modern times sitting solemnly on the rostrum above the square. Their righteousness is like a rainbow, which makes people admire them.
In front of the two desks on the left and right below the rostrum, Lin Junyi and Fang Han sat on the left and right, waiting for the literary battle to begin. The noisy crowd around them gradually became quiet.
"Since the founding of Haoyue Academy, there has been a clear rule that students from the School of Liberal Arts can engage in literary fights if they have unresolved conflicts." Standing on the rostrum, Dean Guo Ji of the School of Liberal Arts said solemnly with his hands behind his hands.
Looking down at Lin Junyi and Fang Han, they said: "In a literary competition, the loser will automatically drop out of school. Fang Han, Lin Junyi, are you ready?"
The two nodded almost at the same time. The students surrounding the square held their breath at the same time.
"Okay, the title of this literary battle is 'Talking about Confucianism and Taoism'." Guo Ji nodded and said: "There are hundreds of schools in the world, but in terms of influence, only the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism have the most far-reaching influence.
It involves the widest range of topics. Today you will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of Confucianism and Taoism. Fang Han, you will come first."
With a "swish" sound, everyone's eyes turned to Fang Han.
Fang Han stood up calmly, smiled slightly, saluted Guo Ji and the five great Confucians above him, and said: "From the perspective of students, Confucianism is naturally superior."
No one was surprised when they heard this. People who study Confucianism and Taoism naturally prefer what they learn.
The five great scholars on the rostrum looked at each other, smiled and nodded.
"Yeah." Guo Ji nodded and said, "Please explain your point of view."
Fang Han smiled proudly and said: "Confucianism originated millions of years ago and has a long history. History has changed over millions of years, but Confucian culture has always been at its peak and has been respected by emperors of all dynasties. In terms of human nature, governance, and
To stabilize the people is to cultivate one's moral character and regulate one's family, which is not tolerated by Confucian culture, and to benefit the world at the same time."
"Confucianism takes 'benevolence and righteousness' as its purpose and pays attention to the way of being in the world. As the saying goes, 'worry about the world first' and 'everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world.' Confucianism takes saving the world and peace of the people as its own responsibility. It is full of ideals and teaches people earnestly." Fang
Han continued: "Internally, we should cultivate our moral character and enrich our benevolence, and externally, we can help the people.
To govern a country and bring peace to the world, the Confucian way is to take the world as one's own responsibility. As the saying goes, do not do to others what you don't want others to do to you. If you want to stand up for yourself, stand up for others. If you are successful, you will benefit the world. If you are poor, you will be good for yourself. Nor will you join in with the vulgar world. Confucianism is noble and pure.
"Proud, it should be the holy way that we spend our entire lives studying." [
As soon as he finished speaking, there was no sound in the entire field. Everyone was thinking about what he said. After just a few sentences, he also explained the advantages of Confucianism and Taoism quite accurately. This Fang Han was indeed as rumored.
That way, he has extraordinary literary talent.
The five great scholars sitting on the stage all smiled with satisfaction.
One of them said to Mr. Ji Ji Zhongxun: "Brother Ji really has a unique vision. This boy is quite talented. If you train him well, he will definitely achieve extraordinary things in the future."
Ji Zhongxun is now eighty years old, and his face is covered with the marks of time. He looked at Fang Han in the audience, and said quite proudly: "Han'er has a good talent. As long as he is willing to work hard, he will be better than me in the future."
I have to go out of my way to get him an official position in the Hanlin Academy."
The rest of the people nodded. If you want to study, the Hanlin Academy and Wenyuan Pavilion are undoubtedly good places to go. Although the officials of the Hanlin Academy are not high-ranking, this place is a resort. With the support of Sangong and Sangu,
, a transcendent status.
After a short discussion, Guo Ji couldn't help but look at Lin Junyi and said: "Lin Junyi, which one do you prefer, Confucianism or Taoism?"
