Dingzhou, located in the northwest of Kyushu, belongs to the Bajing Palace of the nine major sects in the world.
Xiantian Yiqi Sect is located in the northwest of Dingzhou, and has jurisdiction over Tieshan and Qingtian cities, with a total of ten counties and a population of tens of millions.
Xiantian Yiqi Sect is a third-rate sect among the sects in the world.
The highest cultivation level in the sect is the True Lord of Yuanshen. There are three Yuanshen in the sect, with over a hundred golden elixirs and thousands of innate talents.
And because over the past few hundred years, Yiqi Sect has produced many shrewd and capable leaders.
We must work hard to govern, pay attention to talent cultivation, have strict morale and discipline, and have appropriate rewards and punishments.
After hundreds of years of development, the weather is not shallow.
Zhang Ke heard that once Lord Dong Tian appears in the sect, he will apply to be upgraded to a second-rate sect.
Zhang Ke comes from the Zhang family in Shuangqi Town, Qingtian City, and is one of the three major families in Shuangqi Town.
In the early years, the Zhang family had been friends with the Xiantian Yiqi Sect for generations, and it took a hundred years for them to fall into the eyes of the Yiqi Sect.
More than 300 years ago, the Zhang family began to send people from the Linghui tribe to Yiqi Sect.
So far, many members of the clan have become prominent both inside and outside the Yiqi Sect.
The person with the highest achievement is Zhang Yuanqiao, a direct uncle of Zhang Ke, whose Taoist name is "Maple Leaf", who cultivates gold elixirs and majors in talismans.
In addition, there are many people from the Xiantian period practicing in the sect.
Zhang Ke was smart since he was a child, so he was born at the age of six.
The family decided to send him to a Taoist temple, hoping to achieve success in the future.
But in fact, Zhang Ke knew that he had a secret in his heart.
He still remembers the year he entered the Taoist Temple.
When I heard the sound of the jade chime for the first time, the crisp sound of the chime was deafening and echoed in my mind, seeming to break the barrier.
From that day on, a strange cube appeared in my mind.
Six sides, golden, each side is composed of sixty-four small squares.
Each small square has different lines and textures.
Later, in a dream, he realized that this cube was called "Rubik's Cube".
The "Rubik's Cube" is very strange, floating in Zhang Ke's mind.
One corner stands up, spinning according to certain rules every moment.
Or rotate left and right, or rotate up and down.
Pros and cons are intertwined, good and bad are impermanent.
It's like a dice spinning on its upright side.
Occasionally there will be certain lines that are connected to form a more complete graphic.
Some knowledge that he didn't understand at all would flash through Zhang Ke's mind.
This knowledge is very scattered and has no rules at all.
Slowly he understood that this pattern was the rune pattern.
Talisman patterns are a kind of talisman technique that can only be learned by talisman masters.
He had no idea why the "Rubik's Cube" appeared in his mind.
And every time the "Rubik's Cube" in his mind rotates, as long as he concentrates on observing the Rubik's Cube.
Your mind will become blurred and you will enter a dream state.
He would always vaguely enter a special state, as if he had a second life in a dream.
It grows slowly from birth, and this process is very clear in dreams.
In that strange dream, the world was strange and bizarre, and human beings were developing very rapidly.
In just a few thousand years, relying on technology, humans have been able to leave their own planet and explore beyond the stars with the help of artifacts.
Zhang Ke felt like a ghost attached to someone else, watching the person in his dream grow up slowly.
From babbling to toddlers, to going to school, joining the workforce, getting married and having children.
I remember playing wildly in the arcade all night long.
I remember that when I was learning to recite my lessons, my hair fell out in handfuls.
I also remember a series of embarrassing things that happened when I asked my buddies and friends to help create a romantic atmosphere when I was pursuing the woman I loved.
Everything about this felt so real to him.
Those unforgettable feelings are unbearable every time I wake up.
And when the Rubik's Cube appears again in his dream, he wakes up from the dream again.
But whenever I wake up from a dream, these memories slowly fade away like the tide, but some vague memories always remain.
Reality and dreams are like he has two different lives.
So much so that when he was young, he couldn't tell the difference.
Is the self in the dream real? Is the self in reality in the dream of myself in that dream?
Or am I really dreaming in reality, and everything in the dream is just a dream.
But the extremely clear feeling made him unable to distinguish.
The two-phase interference caused him to be in trouble for a long time.
Always in a state of memory confusion.
In reality, people often say words that others cannot understand.
For example: Blue Thin Mushroom, Melon-eating Crowd, Ge You Lying or Fuck You and the like.
He has no control over this "Rubik's Cube", it's like it doesn't exist.
But it is really turning every moment, making a "click" sound.
You can't imagine that a six-year-old child would always have a "click-click" sound irritating him.
Whether awake or asleep.
The sound of "Rubik's Cube" was like a terrible curse, which tortured him throughout his boyhood.
And the more you pay attention to it, the more disturbed you are by it.
Sometimes, when Zhang Ke couldn't bear it anymore, he wanted to split his head open with a knife.
If only that damn voice could stop.
When he was a child, he cried and made trouble, and even a real person in the mountains once specially treated him.
The conclusion is that he may have awakened part of his past life memories.
It may also be because his natural spirit is different from ordinary people, his mental acuity is too high, and he interacts with certain spirits unknowingly.
Real people are also surprised by this situation.
When he left, he made an exception and taught him a spiritual cultivation technique called "Nine-Character Mantra".
This method cultivates the body externally and the soul internally. It is a widely circulated Taoist method.
The practice of "Nine-Character Mantra" requires concentration.
In conjunction with the oral formulas and finger formulas, they fight on foot and chant "Those who are facing an army to fight must march forward in formation."
It causes physical and mental shocks, and during the shocks, it restrains the physical and mental coordination and promotes each other.
The "wonderful method of nine-character mantra" is easy to learn but difficult to master.
It is said that once this method is truly achieved, all dharmas will arise and cease in a single thought.
Beginners can basically master it in a month, and it is widely spread.
Many casual practitioners will practice it when they have no choice.
I hope to learn some magical powers from it, but it is a legend after all.
After Zhang Ke learned the magic method of mantra on his own, he couldn't resist the request of his colleagues in the Taoist Academy, and with the permission of the Taoist Academy, he taught this method.
But now, apart from him, there is no other person who continues to practice.
Just because the effect is minimal.
And the reason why he persists.
It was then that he discovered that while reciting the mantra and exercising, the sound produced by the rotation of the "Rubik's Cube" could be weakened.
After nearly fifteen years of practice, this nine-character mantra has been silently integrated with the Baiyang Stone Carvings at some point.
It was burned into Zhang Ke's body, just like eating and sleeping.
As early as a few years ago, Zhang Ke slowly discovered that his senses had become sharper and his physical strength was getting stronger.
He didn't know if this was because of the Nine-Character Mantra or some other reason, but he didn't tell anyone about it.
Although the experience in the dream became blurry when he woke up, it still had an impact on him.
As he grew up, he wanted to figure out what the "Rubik's Cube" in his mind was.
And whether everything in the dream is real or just a dream.
If it is true, then is it really me in the dream?
If you want to understand all this, you must first start with the runes on the "Rubik's Cube".
This is also the reason why he chose to practice talismans.
Ding---!!
When Zhang Ke heard the sound of the chime, his thoughts instantly came back to him and he sat upright.
I found that Master Yue Gui had already sat down on the podium at some point.
Yue Guizhen is a Kun Taoist who looks to be in his thirties and has a beautiful figure.
There was no sound in the academy, and Master Yue Gui said: "Today I will practice rune writing:
Requirement 1: Write a rune within two quarters of an hour.
Requirement 2: Rune effect: dispel diseases and exorcise evil spirits.
Requirement 3: No more than 3 talisman papers may be used."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cry of mourning under the podium.
Master Yuegui chuckled and said: "The three people with the best writing will be rewarded with two volumes of scriptures copied from the library."
Zhang Ke perked up after hearing the sound and took out 3 blank talisman papers.
Place one on the table, hold down one corner with a paperweight, and set up the inkstone.
Take a spoonful of cinnabar fine powder and pour a little white wine.
While grinding it slowly, I thought about how to write the talisman to dispel diseases and exorcise evil spirits.
Talisman paper comes in standard sizes and specifications.
It is three inches long and two inches wide. The whole body is made of yellow paper, which is easy to write and easy to penetrate.
Zhang Ke took out the talisman pen and put it aside, grinding the cinnabar finely.
Look at the talisman paper and think about the number of written words.
In the world in the dream, due to the development of technology and information, there are almost no secrets.
As long as you are willing, you can learn any knowledge and skills.
In the dream, he also accidentally saw countless kinds of knowledge, useful and useless, countless.
The experience in the dream is vague, but there are some things that may have just been glanced at at the time, or even not remembered.
But now I just need to slowly focus on the memories.
The knowledge I have learned and seen is imprinted in my mind like a photo.
After thinking about it, Zhang Ken calmed down and breathed according to the requirements of writing the talisman.
Roll and rotate the talisman pen in the inkstone to soak it thoroughly.
Looking at the inkstone again, there is only a faint red color and not a trace of cinnabar is left.
The talisman pen is covered with cinnabar, the tip of the pen is vermilion, and the tip of the pen is vertical like a needle.
He took a breath and wrote on the talisman paper:
Edict: The Lord Baosheng saved the people and saved them from typhoid fever for many years, and avoided the five plague ghosts.
When writing, write: Edict.
Hanging in the middle: Yisuan Baosheng Zhenjun saves the people.
Left side: Surprisingly, he has not suffered from typhoid fever for many years.
Right: Avoid the five plague ghosts.
This is a talisman belonging to Zhu Youke to prevent and cure the plague. In the dream, Zhu Youke has thirteen methods.
That is, including Chinese herbal medicine, a method of treating diseases by using talismans and forbidden rice.
"Zhu" refers to the curse, and "Yu" refers to the cause of the disease, including forbidden methods, incantations, blessing methods, and talisman methods, which are specially designed to treat common folk diseases.
