Natasha's figure flashed next to her. Zhang Ke was stunned. He didn't summon her. What was going on?
Zhang Keqi asked: "What's wrong?"
Natasha was silent for a moment and then said: "The Desert City and the Castle unanimously decided:
Because the deputy city lord did not show any consideration when recruiting guards to fight, resulting in heavy casualties among the guards, he decided to take back the authority to recruit combat guards.
As compensation, more high-quality talents will emerge in life and career."
Zhang Ke's face changed drastically, and his heart was shaken.
I thought these were the products of my own natal talisman.
Just like the NPCs in the dream world when playing games, they are never truly treated as equal human beings.
It seemed that I had done something wrong after all.
Natasha continued: "I'm leaving too. I'm very happy to get along with the Deputy City Lord during this time."
Zhang Ke was silent for a moment and sighed: "That's fine, I'll see you again in the future!"
Finally, he told Natasha a story about "Mulan".
Feeling her departure, I felt a little sad.
After a while, he took out the refined healing potion and treated his right hand again, and then used the rejuvenation charm.
He moved his right hand, which was gradually getting better, and took out three items from Mrs. Shaoyao.
A space money bag contains at least a thousand gold talismans. Zhang Kedou does not have such a money bag. The upper limit can be 500,000, which can be regarded as a solution to an urgent need.
This was originally used by Taoist Tongyou to trade with the demons, and was taken away by Mrs. Shaoyao when she escaped.
The second is the magic weapon "Three Phase Mask". This magic weapon is extremely powerful.
But Zhang Ke can't use the magic weapon, which is a pity. He should collect it first, maybe it will be useful in the future.
Finally, there is a piece of translucent green gauze as thin as cicada wings, one foot in size and square.
The fonts the size of a human head are recorded on it, which is the original method of "Nine Transformations of the Golden Cicada".
After careful study, I found that the greatest benefit of practicing this method is that it can extend your life.
The normal training method is to use oneself as a cauldron to refine the Qi and nourish oneself to achieve the effect of prolonging life and strengthening the physical body. It is a first-class physical training method.
Zhang Ke's physical body is very powerful, but he lacks this method to strengthen his physical body.
In the next few days, he secretly inquired and found that He Qing had not committed any crime in the local area.
On the contrary, he did a lot of good deeds. He wiped out all the mountain bandits and horse bandits nearby, and he did it secretly.
He was a little surprised and realized that friends of bad people may not necessarily be good people. He secretly told himself not to make preconceptions.
After leaving a letter in He's house, Zhang Ke drifted away. A few days later, He Qing quietly returned home and his wife handed him a letter.
The letter described in detail what Taoist Tongyou, Mrs. Shaoyao and Taoist Jack had done.
He Qing was a little ashamed. He had been obsessed with helping Mrs. Shaoyao back then, but he didn't know that she would do such a thing now. He had mixed feelings in his heart.
Zhang Ke got rid of the Tongyou Taoist gang and fulfilled a wish. He was heartened and walking in the mountains, he felt that the air seemed much fresher.
He walked briskly and hummed softly:
“You and I are both mortal, born in this world;
It's hard to run around all day long and never have a moment of leisure.
"
Yangjiaoyi.
Dingzhou Bolang City is a subordinate village of Bianzhai. It is named after the terrain resembles a sheep's horn. Two mountain roads extend outward from the Bianzhai. The Bianzhai is not big, and most of the people passing by are fur traders and caravans.
The most common ones in the border villages are blacksmith shops, wine shops and half-open doors.
Zhang Ke was walking on the street, and the people coming and going were all big men driving carriages and horses and people from the world.
Each one of them looked disapproving of everyone, as if they were going to fight at any time, and their aura was very impetuous.
I entered a wine shop and found a corner to sit down. There were no good drinks in the village.
There was only a roasted knife that tasted like a knife, and some cooked meat to go with wine. It was very pleasant to pour and drink alone.
There were several tables of people drinking and chatting next to them, carrying knives and swords on their backs, and speaking louder than the other, making the whole restaurant noisy.
I heard someone shout loudly: "Hey! Have you guys heard that a master has appeared on the ground recently?"
Someone said: "Could it be that Zhang Kezi who broke the water ghost in Anping Town!"
The man who spoke first slapped his thigh and shouted: "That's not bad. I was escorting a few days ago, and I heard a lot of rumors about him along the way. He talked about catching ghosts and thieves, getting rid of water ghosts, and destroying the nests of evil beasts.
There are more than a dozen of them, and I don’t know if they are true or false.”
"I heard that Zhang Kezi is a blind Taoist priest who likes to fight injustices. Recently, many people on the street have restrained themselves a lot."
"Really? This is quite interesting."
Several people were talking about it, and Zhang Ke felt a little proud and secretly took a "Passenger's Talisman" photo on himself.
This talisman has only one effect, which is to be ignored by ordinary people.
Like a passer-by on the street, but unable to avoid the practitioners' induction.
He didn't come to this town for no reason.
Two days ago, I accidentally heard that someone in Yangjiaoyi kept hearing strange noises in the middle of the night. I went out to check and found nothing unusual.
I originally thought that there were Yin soldiers passing through the border, but then I thought about it. The Yin soldiers usually pass through around July 15th every year, but now it is already the twelfth lunar month in the middle of winter.
He had some doubts about whether there was something fishy here, and thought that it was just a matter of course, it would only delay him for two more days.
There is no shelter near Yangjiaoyi, and a lonely town stands here, with strong winds howling all year round.
Therefore, most of the local people's skin is somewhat rough, showing the unique ruggedness of Northwest men.
After dinner, Zhang Ke wandered around the town and finally stopped in front of a stall where he couldn't move.
This is a unique local sand painting stall. There are several such stalls around, but Zhang Ke is a little intoxicated by the one in front of him.
The owner of the stall is an old man about 60 years old. He is wearing a sheepskin jacket. Perhaps it is not tanned properly, and the leather jacket looks a bit stiff and straight.
Wearing a dog-skin hat on his head, his lean face is covered with wrinkles.
His eyes were cloudy, and his goatee was neatly smoothed out.
The tool he used was very simple, a wooden board one foot long and wide, with the edges sealed with wooden strips.
After long-term use, the wood board has no burrs or edges.
Then there are three jars, containing white, yellow, and black fine sand respectively.
The sand is carefully selected and sifted out, making it fine and dense.
What the vendors have to do is very simple, that is, paint with sand according to the customer's requirements.
You can choose any topic, but most of them are portraits of people or architectural landscapes. The completed sand paintings can be taken away.
I saw the old man who was painting carefully observing the faces of the two people in front of him.
These two people are also here to do business. They are a young couple, both in their mid-twenties.
The man is strong and the woman is delicate, each with a long knife at his waist.
At this time, he was sitting casually and chatting softly according to the old man's request.
After looking at it for a moment, he seemed to have a good idea, so he turned the board over and knocked on it.
Knock out the sand and soil flying inside.
Then take out a roll of brown hemp paper and lay it on the wooden board, then press it down with an edge seal.
Then he took a small black jar from the side and unscrewed it with his hands.
Dip a pig-bristle brush into the glue in the jar and carefully apply a layer on the hemp paper.
The glue is light yellow, slightly close to the color of hemp paper.
From this moment on, the old man's movements became much faster, and he put away unused items in a few strokes.
The left hand grabbed a handful of white sand in the white jar, while the right hand grabbed a handful each in the other two yellow and black jars.
The old man stared at the hemp paper attentively, his hands clenched into hollow fists, and the fine sand was in the palms of his hands.
Move your wrist gently, and the fine sand will scatter on the hemp paper. Because there is glue on the paper, once the fine sand falls into it, it will be stuck.
Once a mistake is made, it cannot be modified. Yangjiaoyi's unique sand painting production technology comes from the old man before him.
The old man was confident, his hands did not stop at all, and his movements were simple and smooth.
The fine sand in the palm seemed to have spirituality, and the three colors of fine sand set off each other and were intertwined.
A breeze blew, and the fine sand in the palm of my hand was blown by the wind and deviated from the predetermined position.
The old man tilted his wrist almost instinctively, and the three colors of fine sand were mixed together.
The perfect look of the young couple cuddling together is reflected on the hemp paper.
Zhang Ke felt all this and admired in his heart, feeling the enjoyment and satisfaction in the old man's heart when he was painting sand paintings.
The appearance of a piece of work greatly touched Zhang Ke, and inspiration suddenly came to his mind.
Without even bothering to go back to the inn, he squatted on the ground, took out a pen and paper, and wrote down the inspirations in his mind one by one.
Calculations and deductions were made from time to time, until it was almost dark, then he breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. There was no one around him.
Feeling the cold wind howling in the sky, I rubbed my hands, smiled to myself, and slowly returned to the inn.
The injury to his right hand has generally healed, and it no longer affects his movements. He is doing recovery exercises every day.
Sitting at the table, I first took a Bigu Pill. The food and wine I usually eat are just a kind of adjustment. When I go out, Bigu Pill is indispensable.
He took out the rune paper full of writing and read it word by word.
He got some inspiration from the old man who painted sand. The old man's technique of controlling fine sand was amazing.
Those fine sands can actually be regarded as the runes that one is proficient in.
Then can I get rid of the shackles of the talisman paper and directly use the Rubik's Cube to evolve the talisman?
I have the natal talisman "Ruyi Talisman Rubik's Cube". In view of the "ruyi" characteristic, which can evolve all things, can I use the Rubik's Cube as a talisman?
If it can really be realized, it will be unimaginable to improve one's own strength.
Inspired by this, I conducted detailed experiments according to the plan I derived.
He tried to control the Rubik's Cube, first dispersing the Rubik's Cube into emery.
Then the divine mind controls the emery to refine the runes according to the structure of the rune shield that he is most familiar with.
With a bang, the emery dispersed. This was the 121st experiment tonight, and it still failed.
But Zhang Ke was very excited. His ideas were correct and his methods were correct. The only thing that went wrong was his spiritual thoughts.
If you want to control the emery to form a talisman at the same time, you need to draw the emery to form a talisman first with your spiritual thoughts.
Then the lines are intersected and combined to form a whole.
The most important thing is the seal, even though he has the title of Demon Disciple.
He has the mark of the Dharma Seal, but he still needs to connect the Dharma Seal with his spiritual thoughts to form the Dharma Seal.
But if you want to accomplish all of this, you need to understand the ability to "distract your mind and turn your mind into thoughts".
Therefore, spiritual consciousness has become Zhang Ke's biggest problem, which is urgent and cannot be delayed.
