Chapter 210 Shinto Talisman Summoning, Concealing the World

Talking at night by candlelight, staying up all night.

Because the discussion with the avatar of the divine master is all about the design of the future road, and often needs to be deduced and planned, Zhou Bai actually feels a little mentally exhausted.

This is an impossible situation that he has been dealing with government affairs for three consecutive days and three nights.

However, when the soul reaches the state of spiritual void, the miraculous self-manifestation will be exhausted after a moment of meditation, and there will be no delay in pulling out the camp and marching in the army.

On July [-]th of the first year of Tongzhi, Zhou Bai ordered Xu Yun to stay in Shuiyang City and be responsible for transferring money and food, while the Southern Expedition Day Camp went directly to Ruinan County City.

In front of the Southern Expedition camp was Commander Zhou Yuan's [-] main force, flanked by Zhou Ping and Huang Jingtong's guards and horses. After occupying Yicheng and Tianlin counties, they incorporated local armed forces and were responsible for supporting the main force.

In less than ten days, all the military strongholds in the northern part of Ruinan County had been completely wiped out, and Ruinan City was exposed to the front of the Anbei Army, and it was inevitable.

It was night, the time when the legendary gate of ghosts opened, and the yin energy in the world reached its peak in a year.

As if being stimulated by something, the ghost of the underworld rushed madly into the yin and yang cracks of the Tianyuan Continent, and was about to go to the world to cause chaos.

Zhou Bai guessed right, the Qingxu warships that landed everywhere did not let go of this opportunity, they teamed up with the demons who had been lurking before and launched an offensive again.

Netherland's Dark Hands had been used last time, and they attacked Town God's Temples from the mortal world, breaking the realm of the gods, and expelling the gods.

After weakening the seal on the crack as much as possible, and in conjunction with the environment of July [-]th, when the yin is the heaviest, some ghosts successfully crossed the yin and yang.

A group of demons danced wildly, a hundred ghosts walked at night, and the world was full of ghosts.

If these ghosts really follow the Zhongyuan tradition, it is okay to say that it is not a sin to use incense and see relatives.

It is scary to be afraid of lonely ghosts, who have no bondage in the world, and want to devour flesh and blood to gain the vitality of living people. This is the instinct of ghosts to promote and survive.

Don't worry about the prosperous areas with many gods and sects. The supernatural power is strong, and ghosts dare to swagger through the city, and they will be suppressed immediately.

But now the world is in troubled times, local regimes are divided, powers and responsibilities are not unified, and it is inevitable that innocent people will suffer disasters.

Especially Dingzhou and other frontier states, except for Zhou Bai's quick action, clearing out the Qingxu warships and other obvious forces in the territory, most of the other counties and counties are still suffering from the invasion of foreign enemies.

After marching for one day, the Southern Expedition camp chose to station in a plain area, surrounded by continuous wheat fields, with golden waves of wheat one after another.

This does not meet the conditions for camping such as high terrain and strategic points. There is no danger to rely on and it is vulnerable to impact.

But considering the [-] main force a hundred miles ahead, as well as the advantages of convenient traffic control, a little flaw is nothing.

There were tens of thousands of elite followers in the southern expedition camp, including [-] well-repaired demon subduing troops.

The place where the camp is camped is full of military energy and blood is boiling, not to mention ghosts with malicious intentions, even monks and gods dare not approach easily.

Zhou Bai sat in the big tent, overlooking the ten-mile radius with his spiritual sense. The longer he was in charge of the army, and the longer he practiced Hunyuan Qi Luck Dao, the less and less he was restricted by his own military spirit.

Scanning with his spiritual sense, he really couldn't see any ghosts on the wilderness plain.

The disappearance of ghosts on the [-]th day of the seventh month naturally has a reason, and after careful observation, it is found that there is a familiar divine aura in the distance, which belongs to the divine court.

Zhou Bai's avatar can be called a divine lord, not only because of his status title in the Qiyun Tianshu, but also because he has the ability to be a divine lord.

Natural deterrence, easy to make other gods surrender is only the foundation, the key is that He can actually confer gods, and the conferred god position is equivalent to the imperial decree, and will not be suppressed by the gods of heaven and dragon court.

When the god-lord avatar became a god, he was assisted by the heavenly book of luck and recognized by the heaven and the earth. He condensed a core talisman, which Zhou Bai called the divine way talisman.

The original meaning of talisman summoning refers to dispatching troops by launching military talismans, and among monks, it often refers to the scientific ritual of dispatching gods to summon generals through divine talismans.

To put it simply, the talisman call is the evidence for the superior to recruit the subordinate, and the Shinto talisman call condensed by the divine master is the reliance he uses to build a new divine court, which can be said to be the golden finger of the avatar.

Every deity conferred by the divine lord will receive a summoning talisman corresponding to the divine rank.

For example, the land in Chengdong Village, Cangbei County, entered Hongni Township under Zhou Bai's arrangement, and it was not well-known.

Now he has to grant the land talisman, officially becoming the land of Zhengbapin Township in Shenting, and in a short period of time, he can master the power that the land god should have according to the priesthood conferred by the Shinto talisman.

The summer harvest in Hongni Township went smoothly, thanks to the rural land.

There are many benefits of Shinto Talisman Summoning. It can save the time for the gods to understand the rules of the priesthood, and the speed of refining incense and accumulating divine power is greatly accelerated.

Conversely, there are many restrictions on summoning gods with Shinto talismans.

The Shinto talisman can only confer the title of a god lower than one's own god rank, except that the god master can confer the title of different gods, and the land of Bapin Township can only confer the land of Jiupin Village at most.

The upper gods are natural leaders by virtue of the divine way talisman call. The city god of Qipin County issues orders to the eighth rank township land in the county, and the township land must obey, otherwise the superior can use the divine way talisman call to suppress the subordinates.

This is completely opposite to the previous Shinto system that did not belong to each other. Under the series of Taoist talismans, the Shenting formed a tight institutional network, and the administrative efficiency was extremely high.

The source of all Shinto talisman summons is the God Lord. The more gods he governs, the stronger the power of the God Lord. Now it is only one step away from Jin Chi, and it can be said that it is the strongest in the sixth rank.

Such a Shinto system, at the beginning of its development, will inevitably explode with a very strong vitality, and it will be soaring all the way on the road of rapid expansion.

However, it can be foreseen that the Shenting in the future may become rigid and have insufficient development potential.

So Zhou Bai planned a lot of additional supplementary systems, preparing to set up a supervision department, a merit examination department, and so on.

In the Divine Court, there are still some independent gods, such as the Xiaoqingshan mountain god, and the two innate gods who plan to join in the future.

The clergy path of these gods should not be restricted by Shinto talismans, and more possibilities will be lost.

Just as Zhou Bai was still thinking about the future road form of the Shenting, several gods happened to pass by the periphery covered with military aura, and bowed in the direction of the big tent.

Zhou Bai, as the real deity, can also sense the divine way talismans on them. These are all divine generals of the gods, and their priesthood is wandering gods.

They didn't know that the divine master was Zhou Bai's avatar, but they knew that the Anbei Dudufu supported the Shenting, completely opened up folk beliefs, and allowed the gods of the Shenting to build temples.

Wandering God is the most common priesthood in the God Court system, and is the least bound by the Humane Administrative Region.

If it is a land god from Bei'an County, if he goes to Ruinan County, he will be suppressed by at least half of his strength, so there is no room for suppressing ghosts.

Shenting Wandering God swept away the wilderness ghosts and went away, and then another group of heroic spirits came from Bei'an County, and their direction was also heading south.

The area south of Ruinan County is not yet Zhou Bai's territory, but everyone in the Anbei Governor's Mansion believes that it is already in his pocket.

Chen Zhongbang, who stayed behind in Bei'an, was the most prudent, but when he learned that the three counties in the north of Ruinan had been captured so easily, he sent the list of Ruinan reserve officials who had been screened overnight to the Chinese army for Zhou Bai to have a look at.

For the follow-up governance, the God Lord will certainly not hold back at this time, except for the stable manpower in Bei'an, most of the wandering gods and heroic spirits are sent to Ruinan.

With Shenting suppressing Netherland, Zhou Bai was relieved, and then he planned to continue to deal with official business, and there were a few letters of sincerity from Ruinan's tyrants, and he needed to wait for his reply.

Responding to the letter by the orange candlelight.

It is obviously a major repair in the later stage of Yinshen, but most of the daily life is leading troops to fight and dealing with political affairs and common things. It should be more or less disobedient, right?

However, Zhou Bai didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and he was even happy with it. The exercises he practiced needed the power of the system to provide luck.

Establishing a brand-new system and making it continue to grow is the way of Zhou Bai.

Furthermore, don't the emperors and sages of the heaven need to be distracted from dealing with "common affairs"?
Of course these big shots know that this would be a waste of time, but only by managing the Heavenly Court well can the Heavenly Court provide them with more resources and luck, so that they can hope to become enlightened.

According to ancient rumors, when the heavenly court stands, Haotian will gain the Tao.

Multitasking, and halfway through writing the reply, Li Yuan's voice came from outside the account asking for instructions to enter.

Li Yuan, who was trained by Zhou Bai, has improved by leaps and bounds, especially with the help of the spiritual tide and the war between the two worlds, and now he is only one step away from the Yin God.

Before reporting the information, Zhou Bai looked at Li Yuan a few times, and then took out a jade slip from the storage ring and handed it to him: "The eyes are full of light, the spirit is penetrating the body, and the cultivation of the mortal realm has reached perfection. ,very nice."

"But your soul is too weak, and you still stop at ignorance, so you can't break through the Yinshen realm. The jade slips are the soul cultivation method, use it to practice well, and when Ruinan wins it, use the contribution points to exchange some soul crystals, and you will become the Yinshen It’s a matter of course.”

"Thank you, Commander, I will remember the grace of enlightenment in my heart, and I am willing to die for the Governor." Li Yuan was so grateful for the gift, how could he not know the preciousness of the soul cultivation method.

The term "enlightenment" has different requirements for different monks. For Zhou Bai, it is the pursuit of the ultimate eternal road.

But for most monks, attaining the Tao is equivalent to becoming a Yin God, being honored as a real person by others, and living the same life as the kingdom.

"Let's talk, did Yan Luo make a move, or is there something else?" Zhou Bai waved his hand and asked indifferently.

He doesn't care about the loyalty of his subordinates, what he cares about is performance.

In terms of Li Yuan's merits, it is definitely not enough to acquire the Great Evolution Technique of the Soul, but it is almost the same to acquire a method that can be cultivated to the early stage of the Qingming Realm. The Taoist group needs three realms to sit in charge.

"Return to the governor, the flying news ahead is that there is an accident in the Xuanwu Mountains, and the Xuanwu Gate of the sect above has just been breached by the joint army of two warships." Li Yuan dared not neglect, and replied respectfully.

Zhou Bai frowned slightly, turned around and glanced at the map, the Xuanwu Mountains on it were clearly highlighted.

Located 480 miles southwest of the county town, it was previously recognized as a fairy mountain in Ruinan County, because there is Xianzong Xuanwu Gate in the Xuanwu Mountains, and there is a second-level spiritual vein at the mountain gate, which can provide spiritual energy for cultivation in the realm of transformation.

You must know that even Cangshan is only a quasi-third-level spirit vein, and the spirit stone minerals that can be excavated are even classified as a second-level by the Qingxu General Ship.

After the recovery of spiritual energy, it will take at least half a year for Cangshan to be fully promoted to a third-level spiritual vein.

"As far as I know, the founder of Xuanwumen is a real person, and his mountain protection array is also level three. How can we break through two warships that cannot activate their main guns?" Zhou Bai asked puzzled.

Li Yuan explained in detail: "The reason why the Xuanwu Mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and it is gloomy and cold is because there is a crack in the underworld nearby that affects the environment. The Qingxu Army may have learned that we are advancing, and they jumped the wall in a hurry, so they used two warships to blow themselves up. The price hits the crack."

"It's the next thing for ghosts to come out. The key is that the majestic Yin Qi gushing out of the cracks has shaken the foundation of the formation, and the enemies outside Qingxu can break through the defense of Xuanwumen very smoothly regardless of sacrifice and loss."

Reasonable and reasonable, if Zhou Bai was the commander of the two Brigade-class battleships, he would forcefully fight if he knew that the forces that had just wiped out the generals were approaching.

Li Yuan seemed to be thinking of something again, and quickly added: "By the way, according to the resistance situation of Xuanwu Gate, Master Xuanwu is probably not at the mountain gate."

"Captain, Master Xuanwu has been in the Yin God Realm for two years, and his strength is unpredictable. This is a variable, what if he supports Yan Luo?"

Zhou Bai sneered and shook his head: "It's not a variable, it's a fixed number. The real person behind Yan Luo is him. I just don't know what benefits this real person Xuanwu has gained. He doesn't guard the gate, so we must protect Yan Luo first."

"Come here! Call Qu Zhi and Gao Hu to come."

Before long, Qu Zhi was under the command of soldiers in full body armor and with a solemn face; Gao Hu, who was covered in heat waves and had a back like a spear, was ordered to enter the account.

"Qu Zhi, you go to the front camp yourself, and ask Zhou Yuan to change direction and encircle Xuanwu Mountain first, and wipe out the enemies outside Qingxu."

"Gao Hu, lead my personal guard battalion and two thousand subduing demon troops to set off overnight, and must block the southward channel of the Qingxu people."

The tiger talisman was sent out, and the army was full of energy, and the camp was half empty for a while.

Two hours later, before the sky was bright, the remaining soldiers and horses hurriedly finished their breakfast and set off.

The Zhou character banner fluttered in the wind, even though there were only less than 7000 people left around him, the direction of march was always Ruinan County City.

Zhou Bai wasn't worried about whether the Qingxu Army that killed the Xuanwu Mountains would be successful. It was impossible for the [-] government army plus personal soldiers and subduing demons to be unable to deal with the coalition forces of two warships.

What's more, the two third-rank captains, with the God Lord watching, even if they were lucky enough to break through, they would not be able to escape.

As for what he himself was doing with the Chinese army to the county town, it was of course a lie.

After another two days of high-intensity marching, on the night of July [-], the Zhou character banner officially appeared outside the city of Ruinan County.

The army took advantage of the night to set up camp, setting up camp tents for [-] troops, and even a lot of camp flags.

Master Xuanwu in the city counted that something happened at the mountain gate, but he couldn't figure out that the main force of the Anbei Army outside the city was fake. Yan Luo and his counselors also believed that the [-] main force was true.

The unique Zhou character flag embroidered with strange fish and dragon patterns, as well as Zhou Bai's majestic appearance, did not conceal the aura of heaven and man.

There was no doubt in Ruinan Jiedu's mansion, and they didn't even send troops to test.

After all, none of them would have thought that Zhou Bai would mobilize the main force to destroy the foreign enemies in Qingxu first, instead of targeting Ruinan City.

All the staff officers and generals of the Chinese army also admired Zhou Bai, and this was the pattern of their commander-in-chief.
