"What's in the Pearl of All Things?" Fang Yun asked.

"He didn't say it, but since he praised me, it's naturally good. Don't worry, you pretended to scold me to help me get rid of the crime and prevent others from taking the opportunity to cause trouble. When Grandpa Longsheng gives the reward, I will definitely share it with you!" Ao Huang said while wagging his tail, looking extremely happy.

"Well, since it is information recorded by the power of the Holy Position, it must be correct. If you like to participate in literary gatherings during the New Year, you can take my invitation and go by yourself." Fang Yun said.

"I can go, but you have to let me take your poems with me. You may not go, but I will get the poems." Ao Huang's eyes turned.

"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Fang Yun is currently preoccupied with three major issues: the spring hunt, the palace examination, and the barbarian invasion. He is in no mood to do anything else.

"Okay..." Ao Huang's eyes continued to move around.

After returning home, Fang Yun chatted and ate with his family, played with Nunu for a while, and then went to the study carrying the inkstone turtle that had failed to escape.

Fang Yun locked the door and picked up "Mencius" to read silently.

After reading Mencius silently, Fang Yun spread out a piece of paper and picked up a pen to write "Song of Righteousness".

Before, Fang Yun could only write five words at most, but now he is going to try how many he can write.

"Heaven and earth have righteous energy, which is mixed and flowing."

After writing the first two sentences, Fang Yun felt relaxed and at ease, without any stagnation. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then stared at the two sentences.

Although these two sentences are ordinary, they are the general outline of "Song of Righteousness", which means that there is righteous energy between the sky, which gives all things different forms.

There was no change between these ten words and the paper, and there was no unusual phenomenon on the surface. However, the light of the night stars became a little brighter, and the brightness of the miniature Wenqu Star in Fang Yunwen Palace doubled!

The inkstone turtle on the side widened its eyes, opened its mouth, and showed its sharp teeth, as if it wanted to swallow the paper, and even scratched shallow marks on the table with its little claws.

The ink dragon flew out from the tortoise-back inkstone, flying back and forth, impatiently.

Fang Yun continued writing.

"Below are the rivers and mountains..."

After writing these five words, Fang Yun felt extremely tired, as if his body was really being pressed down by the mountain.

This sentence explains the previous sentence, saying that the positive energy of heaven and earth descends to the earth to form mountains and rivers.

Yangui and Mojiao watched attentively, extremely nervous.

"The above is..."

Fang Yun wanted to finish writing the five characters "上则为日星". But after writing the character "为", Fang Yun felt a silver waterfall suddenly appeared in front of him, like countless stars falling and pressing on him.

"Snapped… "

The imperial brush in Fang Yun's hand broke.

Fang Yun blinked, and the waterfall of stars disappeared.

Then a piece of paper with the words "The heaven and the earth have righteous energy, which is mixed and flowing. Below it is the rivers and mountains, above it is" suddenly floated up, each word was golden, and then the whole piece of paper burned up.

The ink turtle was furious. It jumped up suddenly, opened its mouth and sucked the invisible dust into its mouth, then smiled happily and fell asleep on the table.

Fang Yun shook his head slightly. He could barely observe the rivers and mountains now, but he was powerless when facing the sun and stars. He couldn't connect the righteousness of heaven and earth with the sun, moon and stars.

Afterwards, Fang Yun entered the world of strange books, where the "Song of Righteousness" had a total of fifteen words: "Heaven and earth have righteousness, which flows in all shapes and forms. Below, it becomes rivers and mountains."

"I have a feeling. Once I write three more sentences, it will definitely cause a huge change! Because until now, no human race has defined the righteousness of the greatness."

Fang Yun knew that this kind of thing could not be rushed, so he stopped forcing it.

Fang Yun looked at the inkstone turtle, closed his eyes, entered the world of strange books, and studied the "Thirty-Six Strategies".

Fang Yun has already written the first "Hide the Secret of the Sky and Escape from the Sea" and the second "Besiege Wei to Save Zhao" of the Thirty-Six Stratagems into a military book, and the eighth "Secretly Crossing Chencang" can be used directly because he has obtained the first chapter of "Three Essays of Han Xin". Fang Yun is now preparing to write the third "Killing with a Borrowed Knife" into a military book.

Fang Yun read all the history books and found that the most special person who played the game of borrowing a knife to kill someone was Shi Siming of the Tang Dynasty. This man not only followed An Lushan's rebellion, but also rebelled again after surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, and finally established his own country and proclaimed himself emperor.

Before he became famous, Shi Siming was extremely poor. He fled to the Xi tribe to escape debt and was captured. In order to protect himself, Shi Siming said that he was an envoy of the Tang Dynasty and came to marry a princess. The King of Xi believed him, treated him as a guest of honor and sent a hundred people to let him lead people to the Tang Dynasty.

But Shi Siming said that these people were too lowly, why not send the most important general of the Xi tribe to go together

The King of Xi sent Shi Siming, a Xi general and three hundred men.

When they were about to reach Pinglu City, Shi Siming had someone tell the commander of Pinglu City: "The Xi general and 300 people are outside the city. They appear to be paying homage to the Tang emperor, but in fact they are preparing to launch a surprise attack on Pinglu City."

Therefore, the Pinglu garrison commander led his army to kill all the unprepared Xi people, leaving only the Xi general. Shi Siming then sent the Xi general as a prisoner to the Jiedushi of Youzhou, where he made great contributions and rose to a high position.

Fang Yun pondered over it again and again, and couldn't help but admire Shi Siming's ability, saying that he was a leader in both strategy and courage.

Fang Yun had been studying military books before, and he became more efficient after becoming a Jinshi. Now he can completely turn the third strategy into the content of the military book and use the military tactics.

At night, Fang Yun told Fang Daniu not to be disturbed, then returned to the house and began to write "The Thirty-Six Strategies of Killing with Borrowed Knife".

As before, Fang Yun used the contents of the "Book of Changes" and "The Art of War" to explain the general outline of the strategy, and then conducted an analysis and used real historical events as examples. Finally, Fang Yun ended this "killing with a borrowed knife" with the deeds of Shi Siming, who had never existed in the Shengyuan Continent.

After Fang Yun finished writing the last word, he was pulled into the talent show as before.

When Fang Yun opened his eyes, he found himself in a magnificent mansion. He was wearing the clothes of a Jinshi of the Wu State, and on the table was his official seal, which was the seal of a sixth-rank general of the Wei State.

Three thousand men form a guard, and the commander is a sixth-rank guard general. Ten thousand men form an army, and the commander is a fourth-rank titled general.

However, the official seal was of the style from a hundred years ago. Fang Yun immediately determined that this was a period when the ten countries were fighting against each other.

When Fang Yun saw the seal of the general, he heard a staff member in front of him whisper, "Sir, General Dingbei is in urgent need of a fifth-rank general to assist him in managing the Dingbei Army. But there are four other generals besides you. You must be better than these four."

Then, another assistant official began to read out all the details about the four generals' resumes, preferences, characteristics, etc.

Fang Yun was thinking while listening to the reports from his staff and assistants.

"The talent show is really deceptive! The first time it was a good trick, the main thing is the details. Last time, it was my people who were trapped in the Wei-rescue-Zhao trick, and we almost failed. This time it's another trick, it's obvious that they want to use four swords to kill four people!"

Fang Yun complained in his heart, no wonder they say that the talent performance is getting harder and harder. However, if you can't pass the talent performance, you can't get the power of "Wisdom Saint Way", and the power is limited. The reason why the previous deception was able to hide from the enemy was because of the wisdom saint way.

Moreover, once the military book is integrated with the power of the Holy Way of Wisdom, its power will increase as Fang Yun's literary rank improves. Otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to increase the power of the military book, and he can only continue to learn other people's military books, which will ultimately fall behind.

Fang Yun doesn't like intrigue, but this is a display of talent. He is now a military strategist, so he can't be soft-hearted.
