The cicadas around the lake fell like rain.
High Scholar Pang stared blankly as he listened. It was only when Fang Yun began to play the 《Tune of a Peaceful Night》 that he came to his senses. The music changed from a somber and sorrowful tune to a melodious and lively one.
"In the past, he used his zither to summon autumn. Today, he used his zither to summon winter. He made all the cicadas think that winter has arrived and died. If he were to play a war song in the future, it would be incredible. Killing the cicadas in autumn doesn't mean much. But if he were to use a single song to kill the cicadas, he would be able to reach the next level of the zither within a few days. "
After Fang Yun finished playing the 'Tune of a Peaceful Night', he continued to work on the 'General's Order'. He wanted to perfect the 'General's Order'. Once it was completed, he would be able to see the results on the first day of the performance. As for whether it would be able to showcase the might of Tang Dynasty, that would depend on his hard work.
The incomplete 'General's Order' was played and stopped as Fang Yun recorded it down and edited it. The sound of the zither was very chaotic.
Although High Scholar Pang wasn't good at the zither, he could hear the sound of the horns at the beginning of the new song. He had been suspecting that Fang Yun was composing his own war song. Today, after seeing the killing intent in Fang Yun's' Autumn Wind Melody ', he was even more certain.
"War songs have the strongest killing intent. Next would be war songs. Even if his achievements in war songs were half as good as his war songs, he would still be invincible. There is hope for Jingguo's revival. "
High Scholar Pang listened quietly to Fang Yun's music. Seeing that the sky was about to brighten, he looked around and muttered to himself, "These cicadas are extremely delicious when fried in boiling oil. Especially the breast meat, it is the best dish to go with wine. It's almost mid-autumn, if I don't eat it now, it will be too late. Ai, if I had seen a floor full of cicadas when I was young, I would have laughed for the entire day. "
High Scholar Pang reminisced about the fun of catching cicadas when he was young and started to pick them up.
After editing the 'General's Order', Fang Yun left. When he returned home, he noticed that High Scholar Pang was acting a little strange. He seemed to be holding something in his robes.
When he reached the door. High Scholar Pang suddenly asked, "Do you want it?" He then opened his robes, revealing a large amount of clothing.
Fang Yun looked at High Scholar Pang seriously and then looked at the cicadas. He was amused and said, "Tomorrow I will ask my family if they know how to make them. If they do, I will go to your house and ask for some."
"Alright." Scholar Pang agreed with a smile.
At this time, Fang Daniu, who had woken up in the middle of the night, heard the commotion. He pushed open the door and poked his head out. When he saw that Scholar Pang's pockets were full of cicadas, his somewhat confused eyes were filled with doubt. He then asked cautiously, "Young master, have you and High Scholar Pang caught the cicada?"
Fang Yun and Scholar Pang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. One was the top scholar of the Ten Nations while the other was a Notre-Dame High Scholar. Even if they had nothing better to do, they wouldn't go catch cicadas in the middle of the night.
High Scholar Pang shook his head and returned home. Fang Yun smiled and walked towards the door.
Fang Daniu closed the door and muttered softly, "Let me catch the cicadas in the future. I'm good at it. Actually, the smell of the trees is just average. The ones in the cave are more fragrant. "
"Hurry up and go to sleep!" Fang Yun said with a smile and returned to his room.
Fang Daniu was confused.
When he woke up the next day, everything was normal. However, the moment he saw the Gallbladder Tremor Zither, Fang Yun was stunned. There seemed to be an inexplicable connection between him and the Gallbladder Tremor Zither. The zither seemed to be like his fingers, an extension of his body.
"This feeling … the strings are like one and the zither is like blood and bones. Could it be that I have reached the first realm of the Guqin Dao, the Flourishing of Voice and Emotions? "
Fang Yun immediately sat in front of the zither. The moment his fingers touched the strings, he had an extremely strange feeling. In the past, the strings were tense and he had to be careful at all times because they were the silk of the spider demon. They could hurt his hand and he could feel the threat. However, when he touched them now, it was as if he was touching his other finger. He felt that the strings would never hurt him.
"So, I've already entered the zither realm. It's much faster than I thought."
Fang Yun pondered for a moment and thought of a theory. If a person could accumulate enough knowledge in the field they were good at, it would be easier for them to achieve success than most people when they stepped into other similar fields. In other words, they could comprehend things by analogy.
"Ever since I had the World of Strange Books, I could read quickly. The number of books I've read is more than the number of people who have read in their entire lives. Coupled with various factors such as talent, courage, heart, and talent, I've slowly accumulated enough knowledge to comprehend things by analogy. This zither dao comes from those accumulations and also from my hard work! "
The effort of sleeping for only two hours a day was not in vain.
Fang Yun smiled happily because of the harvest after his hard work.
After washing up, Fang Yun walked out of his bedroom. He heard a commotion at the courtyard entrance and heard people shouting outside.
"Blood Rainbow!"
"It's the Blood Rainbow!"
With a solemn expression, Fang Yun walked out of the door and came to the street. He looked in the direction of everyone's gaze. In the direction of the Desolate Demon Mountain in the southwest, a blood-colored rainbow spanned thousands of miles across the sky like a bridge.
Grandma Jiang muttered worriedly, "A hundred-mile Blood Rainbow is a disaster of a state. A thousand-mile Blood Rainbow is a disaster of ten countries. Something big is definitely going to happen!"
Deputy General Lai's old father sighed softly and said, "Young people nowadays probably don't know about the Great Blood Rainbow a few years ago. That was terrifying. It spanned across the north and south of the continent and covered half the sky. Even the insects and beasts were scared. Fortunately, a golden light appeared in the sea and shattered the Blood Rainbow."
"There's a Blood Rainbow this time. I don't know where the disaster is going to happen. I hope it's not Jiang Prefecture. Jiang Prefecture can't take it anymore."
Fang Yun looked worried. These ordinary people didn't know, but he already knew that the last time the Blood Rainbow covered the sky was because the Demon and Barbarian Tribes attacked the Two World Mountain. Once the Two World Mountain was taken, the Demon Race's army would be able to rush into the Mortal World unimpeded, unlike now where only a few Demon Race could enter the Mortal World.
A thousand-mile Blood Rainbow meant that at least one Demon Saint was about to take action.
Fang Yun felt the official seal at home move and immediately returned. It turned out that it was Feng Yuanjun who sent a letter.
"Stay at home and don't move. I'll look for you right away. There's something important to discuss."
Fang Yun waited quietly. Soon, Feng Yuanjun came and the two of them entered the study.
"Something big happened."
Fang Yun had never seen Feng Yuanjun so anxious. He was about to become a member of Hanlin Academy.
"Is it related to the Demon Saints?" Fang Yun asked.
"Yes. Two Demon Saints of the Wolf Clan are going to the Two World Mountain. The Demon Emperor is the commander of this war. The reason is that the Half-saint of the human race injured many rebels with the Epigraph of My Shack. It's a revenge war. The demon camp opposite the Two World Mountain originally had three Demon Saints. Now, it has increased to five. With the addition of a Demon Emperor, the Half-saint families are going to mobilize their disciples. "
"The thousand-mile Blood Rainbow was caused by the power leaking from the Two World Mountain, right?"
"Yes."
The room was unusually heavy. The official seal moved slightly again. Fang Yun went to read a new letter.
After reading it, Fang Yun sighed softly. "Even the seismograph is going to be used."
"How … did you know?" Feng Yuanjun did not expect Fang Yun to know about this.
"The head of the Zhang Heng family sent me a letter. He said that the Two World Mountain is in danger. It's the Zhang family's turn to participate in the war. Their disciples can't go to Kong City with me. All of the Zhang family's Juren or higher positions have to go. They'll also bring the seismograph. "
Feng Yuanjun thought for a moment and said, "At least ten Half-saint families will go this time. It's normal for the Zhang family to be involved. Alas, only the Zhang Heng Clan with such a profound foundation was not afraid. As for those clans with a slightly weaker foundation, once a genius died in the Two Boundaries Mountain, they would slowly decline in the future unless another genius was born. By the way, I heard that the Fierce Lord, Meng Lintang, wants to harm you? "
"It's just for the thing in my hands." Fang Yundao.
Feng Yuanjun nodded and said, "I can't say much at this time. But you're from Jingguo and Jiangzhou. Even if the fierce king is a Half-saint descendant, we'll definitely stand by your side!"
"I understand." Fang Yundao.
Feng Yuanjun sighed softly and said, "Troubled times. I'm not here to tell you about the Two World Mountain. I'm here for another important matter. "His expression was a little strange.
"What is it?" Fang Yun asked.
"You're on the demon's Hunting List. You're on the Hanlin Forest List for the first time. You're ranked fourth."
Fang Yun finally understood why Feng Yuanjun's expression was strange. The Hunting List was created by the rebellious scholars of the demon race and the demon race. It ranked the strength of the human race's geniuses. As long as the demons and barbarians killed the people on the list, they would be rewarded greatly.
At first, the human race was terrified when they found out about the Hunting List. They were afraid that they would be killed on the list. But later, they found that those who could be on the Hunting List were all outstanding people of the same generation. Many people even wanted to be on the Hunting List to prove themselves.
In the first few years of the Hunting List, the human scholars set off a few small waves of killing demons and barbarians. This was not expected by the demon race.
However, the demons and barbarians also had targets. Many human geniuses were killed because they were on the Hunting List.
Now, the Hunting List of the demon race had become the ranking of the human race's geniuses.
Fang Yun was not angry. Instead, he laughed and said, "Fourth on the Hanlin Forest List? Are you trying to flatter me to death? I'm just a scholar. Above me are the Juren and Jinshi, and then the Hanlin Forest List. I'm three levels lower, and I'm still fourth. I remember that the Duke of Jian Mei is only third on the Grand Scholar Hunting List. "
"That's why there's something fishy about this. Some people suspect that the demon race is flattering you. For example, Yan Yukong is a Juren and a direct disciple of Half-saint, but he's only twelfth on the Jinshi List. You, a scholar, are ranked fourth on the Hanlin Forest List. This is very suspicious. However, what's even stranger is that you were 'rewarded' with a drop of Divine Blood as soon as your ranking was released! Your actual reward is almost the same as the last person on the Grand Scholar Hunting List. Even the Hanlin Forest List, who's ranked first, did not reward you with Divine Blood. "
"This … Divine Blood is not only important to the human race, it's even more important to the demon race. They can directly increase their strength through Divine Blood. I'm just a scholar. Using Divine Blood as a reward. Aren't they thinking too highly of me? "Fang Yundao said.
Feng Yuanjun said, "In terms of your actual talent, I wouldn't be surprised if your reward was increased to ten drops of Divine Blood. But in terms of your actual use, you can barely enter the Jinshi List. Other than the Dragon of the Kong Family, no one else has such a high position on the list. "
"Before the Dragon of the Kong Family was killed, what was his position on the list?" Fang Yun asked curiously.
Feng Yuanjun said slowly, "He was originally not on the list. But not long after he left the Holy Ground, he was ranked first on the Grand Scholar Hunting List!"
