After Zhang Ke finished speaking, he bowed his hands and returned to He and Lu.
Master Yue Gui stood up and stood in the middle of the podium, saying: "In practice, talismans are easy to learn but difficult to master. Generally speaking, as long as you join a sect and receive the talismans, you can easily learn various commonly used talismans, but..."
Having said this, Master Yuegui paused for a moment.
He said solemnly: "The Talisman Master is a combat profession that is extremely auxiliary. Once encountered in a battle, it can easily become an important target of attack.
As Zhang Ke said just now, how can those runes be combined freely and quickly to form an effective talisman? This is what all talisman masters need to think about throughout their lives."
"The advantage of a talisman is that it can be written and stored in advance, and it is easy to use. Generally, the validity period of a normal talisman is half a year to one year. If it is cultivated, the time can be extended. This is the advantage of the talisman.
The disadvantage is that when an emergency occurs and the existing talismans cannot solve the current problem, an appropriate talisman must be written immediately, and this is the fundamental reason why we must learn talismans to our core."
"Only in this way will you be able to survive certain extreme situations in the future. The talismans of the three disciples today are the direction for your study.
He Xinran's talisman directions are suitable for preparation in advance, Ma Yingjie's talisman directions are suitable for emergencies, and Zhang Ke's talisman directions are highly universal. Please study carefully and figure out the appropriate combination!"
After saying that, he filled in three signatures for copying scriptures from the library and gave them to the three of them before leaving.
Zhang Ke returned to his seat happily and was about to study Taoism.
Several people came over, some men and some women.
Pu Xiao whispered: "Senior brother, copy the Taoist books well, borrow them and copy them!"
Zhang Ke looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and smiled in agreement, making several people jump for joy.
In the afternoon, Zhang Ke called on Sang Mu and others from our hospital to make preparations for the mission.
After finishing morning classes the next day, Zhang Ke first picked up the reserved tools.
Afterwards, he led the disciples of our school to rent fifteen large vehicles, filled them with various supplies, and walked all the way to Huai County.
Fortunately, they are all Taoist disciples and are strong and healthy.
We walked this way for about two hours and hundreds of miles before we arrived at Huai County.
Huai County is under the jurisdiction of Yiqi Sect, with four towns and eight villages under its jurisdiction, and a population of over one million. It is a large county.
The territory has many hills, and yellow fir trees are mainly distributed in the mountains of the two nearby counties.
Sang Mu had already inquired about it, and found that besides Wuziyuan, there were probably disciples from other Taoist academies who would also be performing duties in Huai County.
After negotiation, the felling task of Wuziyuan was proactively assigned to the north of Huai County.
The terrain here is not good and there are many cliffs, making it very inconvenient to cut and haul the trees.
Therefore, the yellow fir trees on the mountain are generally of relatively good quality because they are rarely cut down.
Arriving in the northern part of Huai County, Zhang Ke organized his disciples to find a suitable place.
This is a valley. We are looking for an open space with a backing to the wind and close to the water source, which is suitable for camping.
After a brief lunch, we began to level the land.
Arrange protective fences, install accommodation tents, set up lookout posts, set up camp, and complete the processing of supplies.
By the time everything was done, it was getting dark.
Zhang Ke ordered Liu Zhisao to take three kilograms of spiritual grains and other grains to make porridge, and prepare eggs, meat and other food for dinner.
Spiritual grain contains a large amount of vitality. For ordinary people without foundation building, three kilograms of spiritual grain can be enough to make porridge for hundreds of people to replenish their body needs.
I took two more kilograms just because of my hard work today. On weekdays, I only take one kilogram of spiritual grain in the morning and evening.
After dinner, the night patrol shift was arranged, and the other stewards gathered together for a meeting.
After discussion, it was decided to start the felling task tomorrow.
Liu Zhinao took several young disciples and drove back to replenish supplies.
After making a plan, Zhang Ke took out his logging ax and came outside the camp.
Zhang Ke made a tour. After a hard day's work, even Linggu couldn't relieve his fatigue.
I saw the patrolling disciples dozing off from time to time. Although I couldn't bear it, I still reprimanded him.
The lookout post was about three feet above the ground and made of wood. Zhang Ke got on the lookout post.
The disciples on night duty were sent to rest. It was late at night and the whole camp became quiet.
Nearly thirty tents are arranged in two rows facing each other, and ten oil lamps are hung on long poles.
Even at night, you can clearly see every corner of the camp.
After observing for a while and seeing nothing unusual, I sat down cross-legged.
Take out a package from your body, unfold it and lay it out, and then take out the statue.
This was the main statue he decided to enshrine after he decided to become a Talisman Master.
"Suppressing the Heavenly Martial Arts and Dangerous Demonic Spirits Should Bless the Holy Emperor"
Also known as the "Zhenwu Dangmo Emperor" or "Dangmo Tianzun", he powerfully controls the north, takes over the position of Xuanwu, and subdues demons in the world.
Zhang Ke invited the statue of Zhenwu out, rubbed the earth and burned incense, facing the north.
Reciting softly: "Northern Xuantian, Yao Yao Divine Lord. Hundreds of changes, Xuanwu Lingzhen.
Soaring to the sky and falling to the ground, driving thunder towards the clouds. Tens of thousands of troops marched to sweep away the evil atmosphere.
Thunder Lord's attendants, Jade Girl General. Ghosts and gods surrender, dragons and tigers sneak away.
It is powerful to the five mountains, and all souls follow it. With the sound of bells and drums, it marches through the universe.
Capture rebellious ghosts and crush the demonic army. Eliminate evil and support righteousness, and the Tao Qi will always be perfected."
After the recitation is completed, the statue is put away and the night watch begins.
Since I started practicing the "Nine-Character Mantra", my energy has gotten better and better. I just need to take a short rest to regain my energy.
When the replacement lookout arrived at the lookout post, Zhang Ke said a few words.
Then I went downstairs to the entrance of the camp and found a dark corner.
I lit a stick of incense, walked about five feet away, and took out a box of thin wooden chips from my body, which was similar in size to a talisman.
Use both hands to alternate missiles and practice flying talisman techniques.
"Chichi!"
The slices shot towards the burning red dot incense head at extremely fast speeds.
This technique is called "scattering flowers" and is a unique inheritance in the family.
Wrists and fingers require special training techniques.
It can be practiced only by enhancing the power and speed of finger ejection, combined with drug protection, and unique qi movement techniques.
Zhang Ke diligently practices his eyesight, accuracy and "scattered flowers" technique every day.
I started practicing at the age of eight and have been practicing for more than ten years now.
It is actually not easy to fly the talisman to the opponent.
This is more difficult than an archer hitting an opponent because the practitioner's reaction is faster and the attack range will be further.
Therefore, the talisman flying techniques of the talisman masters also have their own characteristics.
The Zhang family's "spreading flowers" technique focuses on rapid fire and multiple shots. As for the lock-on attack, that is an ability that only the True Monarch of Yuanshen has.
Under the Yuan Shen, if you want to have locking ability, in addition to innate magical powers, you may have it, but Zhang Ke has never heard of it.
