Zhu Jiu's words made most people a little confused. Only those practitioners who came from big sects vaguely understood.
Zhang Sui thought thoughtfully, maybe it is not easy for those underground aliens to come to the surface, and the power of rules on the ground seems to be somewhat unfriendly to the powerful underground aliens from the fairyland.
According to Zhu Jiu, even if you take action, the human race must take action first, and then the other side can counterattack.
If this is the case, then the human race will have much more room for relaxation.
Zhu Jiu said to the cultivators who were talking about it below: "The reason why we attach so much importance to the Tiantian Hu on the opposite side is that we are worried that it will break through the earthly fairyland. If that happens, the rules between the underground and the surface will be broken, and the alien races underground will be able to march straight in.
At that time, the catastrophe of the human race really began?"
Everyone slowly became quiet and listened to Zhu Jiu continue: "So our goal now is to either wipe out the aliens who have come to the surface or drive them back underground, and then seal the unstable barrier.
Only in this way can we buy time for the human race to deal with the catastrophe that will follow!"
Mr. Feng also said: "You don't have to worry that the Tiantianhu in the Earthly Fairyland will pose a threat to you. The Tiantianhu is not the strange beast of cultivation that you imagined.
Although its cultivation level is high, it does not have much attack power. You will know the specific situation when the time comes.
Your main opponents are still the alien cultivators below the Earthly Immortal Realm. You still need to cooperate with the army’s actions, perform your duties, and strive to drive those underground aliens back to their hometowns as soon as possible!”
When everyone heard this, they shouted yes.
Next, Feng Mang sent an order to summon some generals in the army and assigned the practitioners to each team.
What Zhang Sui didn't expect was that after everyone performed their duties, no arrangements were made for him.
After all the practitioners in the camp along with the generals withdrew from the Chinese army, only Zhang Sui, Feng Mang, Zhu Jiu and Mr. Feng were left in the camp.
Zhang Sui raised his hand to Feng Mang and asked in confusion: "General Feng, why didn't you arrange anything for me?"
Feng Mang laughed and said: "Mr. Zhang, you are our treasure now, how can we allow you to be in danger so easily?"
Zhu Jiu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "My friend, to the army, your ability to make talismans is much more important than going directly to the battlefield to kill the enemy!
Don’t worry, your work won’t be in vain. I heard from Mr. Feng and the others that as you requested, all the future gains will be given to you!”
Hearing this, Zhang Sui smiled bitterly and said, "If that's the case, it wouldn't make much sense for me to come to the army for training!"
Zhu Jiu shook his head and said with a smile: "My friend, that's wrong. What is experience? It doesn't mean that letting you fight on the field counts as experience. Developing your own strengths, doing your best, training your skills, and broadening your horizons are all considered experience.
, don’t limit your experience too much.”
Zhang Sui thought about it and felt that it made sense. After all, these words came from the mouth of an earthly fairy. Even if they didn't make sense, he still had to listen to them honestly.
Zhang Sui accepted the instruction.
Zhu Jiu added: "I went to Junshan Academy before I came here and had a good chat with Lao Meng. He specifically mentioned you and asked the army to give you more freedom.
Don't you think it's good like this now? Your first task is to help us make jade talismans. At other times, you can come and go freely and do whatever you want, and no one will restrict you."
Only then did Zhang Sui suddenly realize that there was an instruction from Mr. Meng in this.
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "In this case, I would rather obey orders than be respectful. I still say the same thing, as long as you prepare enough materials for me, I will definitely do my best!"
Feng Mang was overjoyed, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, the materials are indispensable for you. Compared with human lives, these materials are not worth mentioning. I have ordered people to go to other prefectures to purchase and try my best to ensure that the Red Flame Army can be equipped."
Get up and let those guys who came out of the ground have a good drink!"
Zhu Jiu took out a pamphlet from his sleeve, handed it to Zhang Sui and said, "I brought this to you, Lao Mengtuo, I almost forgot about it!"
Zhang Sui took it with both hands, did not check it in a hurry, put it directly into the Ruyi Realm, cupped his hands and thanked him.
Feng Mang said: "Master Zhang, please go back and rest first. Someone will send them to you when everything is collected. It's going to be hard on you!"
Zhang Sui knew that they might have something to talk about, so he stood up, handed over his hands, said goodbye, and returned to his residence.
At this time, the place where the guests and ministers lived was empty. Except for Zhang Sui himself, no one else was seen. They must have joined the army.
Zhang Sui never expected that when he came to the army, he would become a tool man. This was completely inconsistent with his own ideas!
Thinking about the aliens on the opposite side who could provide him with various powers, fortunately they did not restrict his activities. This was good, and he was more free.
Over the past two days, Zhang Sui actually had a lot of ideas, and was thinking of perfecting them before implementing them. Unexpectedly, war broke out and many plans were disrupted.
But it doesn't matter. We will wait and see the situation and complete what General Feng asked us to do before it is too late to implement it.
Zhang Sui thought of the books that Mr. Meng asked Zhu Jiu to bring, and couldn't help but be curious about what they contained.
I took out the book from the Ruyi Realm. The book was not thick, only about ten thin pages, and there was no writing on the cover.
Zhang Sui opened it and saw that the first article had the word "Gathering Spirits" written on it. Looking carefully at the content, it turned out to be a formation!
Looking back, there are four formations recorded in total. In addition to the "Gathering Spirits" formation, there are three more formations: dividing water, solidifying ground, and forbidding air!
Zhang Sui did not expect that he wanted to learn formations before but had no way. But now Zhou Di just gave him a book on formations and he immediately got several formations from Mr. Meng. Good things happened one after another!
Zhou Di previously gave Zhang Sui a record of many formations, and Zhang Sui had already gone through them in general.
Most of the records are about military formations and five-element killing formations, all of which are formations that pursue military formation defense and killing. Taoist friend Zhou Di looked at him with a gentle temper, but his temper was still very irritable, especially among them.
Some Five Elements Killing Formations, if formed into formations, are still very lethal to ordinary mortal soldiers.
The formations Mr. Meng brought were different, and they seemed to be aimed at practitioners.
The Spirit Gathering Array can gather spiritual energy to assist in cultivation. Although it is not of great significance to Zhang Sui, it is still very useful to ordinary practitioners.
Moreover, the arrangement of general formations requires spiritual power to maintain them. If combined with the spirit gathering formation, the power of those formations is not as simple as one plus one equals two.
The Water Dividing Formation can defend against water spells. At first, Zhang Sui thought it was of little use and didn't care.
But when I think about it carefully, I understand Mr. Meng’s good intentions.
Whether it is Zhang Xin or Fang Xiong, their current encounters are caused by the aquatic races. This water-dividing formation was clearly prepared by Mr. Meng specifically for Zhang Sui to give him more help when facing those aquatic races in the future!
Zhang Sui could not help but stand in awe, facing the direction of Junshan Academy, and bowed respectfully!
As the name suggests, the solid formation can make the mountains and rivers within the range of the formation solid, cut off the coming and going of earth practitioners, and limit the power of earth magic.
Mr. Meng may have chosen this formation because he considered that those alien races came from the underground world and were more proficient in earth magic.
If this solid ground formation can be extended to reinforce the city and improve defense, it will also be of great use to ordinary soldiers.
The last one is the forbidden air formation, which is aimed at those practitioners who can fly and the prying eyes from birds and beasts in the air.
However, this formation does not distinguish between friend and foe. As long as you are within the range of the forbidden air formation, as long as your cultivation level cannot force you to break through the restriction, you will be forcibly pulled to the ground.
Zhang Sui touched his chin and thought for a while. If the timing of this forbidden air formation was right, it would definitely be able to deceive those cultivators who could fly on the opposite side.
Although practitioners who can fly are basically strong practitioners above the Human Immortal Realm, it is unlikely that they will fall to death. However, as long as they are arranged properly and use the power of military formations to catch them by surprise, they can even be masters of the Human Immortal Realm.
, I have to shed my skin even if I don’t die!
Looking at the four formations sent by Mr. Meng, it can be said that they are related to each other and highly targeted. Mr. Meng put a lot of thought into them!
If what Zhou Di brought to Zhang Sui was the basic knowledge of formations, then what Mr. Meng sent was an advanced version of the formations. I don’t know where Mr. Meng got these formations from.
You should ask carefully when you go back.
In the following time, Zhang Sui was immersed in these formations, constantly learning and trying. Before he knew it, half a month had passed.
During this period, Mr. Feng brought people here to deliver jade stones several times. With the existence of the Glazed Body, Zhang Sui did not have to worry too much about making jade tablets. Most of his thoughts were still spent on the formation method.
Taoist Yingde and others also came back several times, and they were injured basically every time, but fortunately they were not serious, and Zhang Sui could handle it by himself without having to take action.
Despite this, the emotions of these practitioners are very high, and their own cultivation has also improved significantly.
Although Zhang Sui did not directly participate in the battle, he gained a lot of meritorious deeds during this period. On the one hand, where did the Jade Owl Xiaoyu get it from? Zhang Sui did not expect this. He did not expect Xiaoyu's contribution.
He can also be counted as one. It seems that it is necessary to recruit a younger brother.
On the other hand, it was brought about by making the Four Elephant Jade Talismans, which also accounted for a large part. Now every time I go out to eat, any soldier I meet respects him like a god. After all, those jade talismans, but
It can actually save one life, or even multiple lives. Respecting this person is much more effective than worshiping a god.
Zhang Sui walked out now, responding to the soldiers' enthusiasm all the way, his face almost numb from laughter.
In the evening of that day, Zhang Sui flew out of the military camp and went to a restaurant in a nearby town.
This small town is very close to the military camp, and its prosperity depends on the military camp.
During this period, when Zhang Sui felt tired from being obsessed with formations, he would come here, order a few side dishes, a pot of rice wine, and drink by himself.
There is no way, everyone he knows has something to do. He is the only one. Apart from making jade talismans and studying formations, he can't find anyone to drink with him.
However, when he came to the restaurant this time, Zhang Sui discovered that something was wrong with the atmosphere of the entire town.
Many shops were packing their bags, and horse-drawn carriages were busy pulling things out of the town.
Many shops were empty, and people in the town were in a hurry and seemed to be preparing to leave.
Zhang Sui came to a familiar restaurant. When the shopkeeper saw Zhang Sui, he greeted him with a smile and took him to his old seat by the window on the second floor.
Zhang Sui was generous every time he made a move. Although he looked like a young man, he spoke calmly and humorously, so the store's attitude toward him was extremely warm.
After Zhang Sui sat down, he pointed to the situation on the street and asked, "Lao Guo, what's going on in this town? Why do you think everyone is moving away?"
The shop owner smiled bitterly and said, "Young master, don't you know? The Anxi government office posted a notice the day before yesterday and sent people to preach in every place, asking all towns and villages outside Anxi city to move to the rear.
It is said that we are going to fight those monsters that have escaped from the underground, and we need to strengthen the walls and clear the fields to avoid losses to the human race. No, the whole town is moving!"
Zhang Sui nodded after hearing this. It seemed that after the early probing attacks by both sides, the war was about to begin.
Boss Guo added: "Young Master is coming here today. If he comes here tomorrow, we will all move away. Alas, it is a pity that this little bit of family fortune saved in half a life will be lost at the last word!"
Zhang Sui comforted him: "This restaurant will not run away, and it may come back in the future. Life is much more important than these external things.
Besides, with the skills of the masters in your shop, Lao Guo, where can I not make a comeback?"
After hearing this, Lao Guo nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Young master is right. Compared with your life and property, if you lose it, just lose it. At worst, you can earn it back!"
Zhang Sui smiled and nodded in agreement.
Lao Guo said: "Young Master, sit down peacefully. I'll tell them to use their box-pressing skills and let you taste the dishes that you haven't eaten yet."
I also have a jar of Yubingyaki that I have treasured for many years. If you don’t mind it, I will come and have a drink with you later? Everyone is busy moving anyway, and there are no other guests except you!"
Zhang Sui laughed and said: "Go, go, let's get those chefs to come with us later. Let's have a drink together. We can be considered acquainted. We just treat it as farewell!"
Lao Guo made Zhang Sui a pot of tea, then went to the kitchen with a smile and ordered people to cook.
While drinking tea, Zhang Sui looked out the window at the hurried passers-by, and secretly sighed in his heart: "The troubled times are coming. I wonder how many of these people will be able to survive this disaster safely?"
However, the current Yan Dynasty only lasted for less than three hundred years. It was a time when the country was prosperous and there was not much corruption among all classes. At least a lot of effort and thought was spent on treating the people. This can be regarded as the common people.
Good luck.
If this kind of chaos happened at the end of a dynasty, Zhang Sui could not even imagine the consequences.
It turns out that in that world, dynasties change frequently, and rarely exceed three hundred years. It is really unimaginable to have a dynasty that lasts for thousands of years in this world.
Thanks to that senior, so many effective rules were formulated for the continuation of this world. Even if the dynasty changed, not much vitality was lost. What is even more rare is that many of the rules have been continued.
It is also true that after 300 years, the Yan Dynasty is still full of vitality. Although there are some disputes in the court, judging from the situation of facing foreign races this time, even the dove faction has not been affected by the benefits provided by foreign races.
Zhang Sui was a little surprised by losing his mind in the overall situation.
Before the pot of tea was drunk, Lao Guo came over with two fat chefs carrying seven or eight dishes.
Lao Guo held a wine jar weighing at least ten kilograms in his hands, walked to the second floor with a smile, and placed the things on the table.
Zhang Sui invited them to sit down. Lao Guo knew his temperament and sat down generously. The two chefs were a little cautious and sat down carefully.
Zhang Sui asked Lao Guo, "Where are your sister-in-law and that boy of yours? Call them over together!"
Lao Guo was a little embarrassed and said: "I'm a woman, what are you asking her to do! That little bastard is cleaning up in the kitchen, don't worry about him!"
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "Go and call everyone over. After this meal, I don't know if we have a chance to meet again. Let's have a meal together!"
Lao Guo had no choice but to call the two of them over.
Lao Guo's son is called Guo Song. He is only twelve or thirteen years old. He has a strong appearance and a calm temperament. He doesn't talk much, but he does things very quickly.
Zhang Sui was deeply impressed by his previous work in the store.
After the meal, more than half of the ten kilograms of fine wine went down Zhang Sui's stomach. Under Zhang Sui's persuasion, the two chefs also drank with blurred eyes, but Lao Guo's family of three did not drink much.
Zhang Sui, who was full of wine and food, was in high spirits. He chatted with Lao Guo and others and found that although his son Guo Song was not old, he spoke in an organized manner and dealt with things very well.
Zhang Sui said to Lao Guo: "After settling down, let Xiaosong go to school. He has good qualifications. He may be able to learn something famous in the future."
When Lao Guo and his wife heard this, they nodded repeatedly. Lao Guo said: "Since the young master said so, I will definitely send him there after he settles down."
Guo Song's eyes were bright when he heard that his father was sending him to school.
Originally, Lao Guo wanted to let Guo Song inherit his ancestral business, so he asked him to return to the store to help after he was enlightened in the school.
Although Guo Song was not willing, his father's stick was much harder than his mouth.
Guo Song did not expect that as soon as the young master in front of him opened his mouth, his father would immediately agree and look at Zhang Sui with gratitude in his eyes.
Zhang Sui lifted the wine jar and shook it. There was no sound of water inside.
Lao Guo immediately said: "Master, wait a moment, I will get another pot."
Zhang Sui stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Okay, Lao Guo. It's just enough to have a good meal and a drink. It's not too early. I have to go back. Thank you for your hospitality."
After saying that, he stood up, waved his hand, and five small jade talismans appeared on the table. The jade talismans flashed, and they looked like otherworldly objects.
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "We are destined to meet each other, so I will give you this little thing!"
Five jade charms flew to the eyebrows of the five people on the table and disappeared. The two chefs who were already lying on the table didn't notice it, but Lao Guo's family of three couldn't help but touched their eyebrows and found that there was nothing there.
Strange.
Just when he felt strange, Zhang Sui condensed a point of light on his fingertips, flicked it lightly, and penetrated into Guo Song's forehead.
Zhang Sui smiled and said to Guo Song: "When you have accomplished your studies and are able to travel far, go to Junshan Academy in Kunzhou City! My name is Zhang Sui."
After speaking, he nodded to the three people and turned into a stream of light, flying from the window to the sky and disappearing in an instant.
The three members of Lao Guo's family stood up and ran to the window to look at the sky. Zhang Sui had long since disappeared.
Lao Guo often interacted with people in the military camp and had some understanding of the practitioners. He sighed: "I didn't expect that this young master would be an immortal at such a young age."
When he turned around, he saw a piece of silver on the table. Lao Guo smiled and said, "This immortal master is quite particular."
Then he picked up the silver ingot, handed it to his wife, and said: "Keep it well, let's get some fairy spirit."
The wife took it with a happy face.
Guo Song was still standing by the window, looking at the direction in which Zhang Sui disappeared, thinking silently in his heart: "Junshan Academy, Zhang Sui!"
