Chapter 268: "Lushan Sect"
Last time, I mentioned that there is an "evil sect" called the "Lushan faction" in "Taoism", which is very good at "channeling" and "guarding against ghosts", and has many means and strength, which should not be underestimated.
Speaking of the "military camp holiday", only some soldiers and horses are on holiday to rest, not all the soldiers and horses in the entire "mandala" or "Taoist temple" are on holiday and go home.
Just like the work units in the mortal world in later generations, there are also left-behind duty personnel. There are "soldiers and horses" who are on vacation, and there are "soldiers and horses" who stay behind. The "soldiers and horses" who stayed behind still stayed in the arranged posts, such as being on duty, patrolling, guarding the altar, being responsible for discipline, etc., and of course they would also go into battle to meet the enemy when the "mage" needed it.
In the process of "rewarding the soldiers and rewarding the generals," the "barracks" will promote the "soldiers and horses" who have made meritorious contributions this year. For example, promote a small soldier to a squad leader, a squad leader to a barracks manager, and so on. In doing so, the "mage" deliberately demonstrates that the "mage" is in control of the overall situation as a "trader" in order to make a difference when needed.
The "mage" will also review the "soldiers and soldiers" who perform poorly, give timely corrections, and even those who do not abide by military discipline may be persuaded to retire.
After the "Terracotta Holiday" is over, generally around the first month of the new year, the "Lushan Mage" uses specific "scientific rituals" or uses special spells to recall the soldiers and horses.
At the same time as recalling the "old soldiers and horses", the "mages" will also summon the "new soldiers" in the Three Realms, that is, the "generals on duty" to distribute armor and weapons, and distribute "grain and grass" to return to the barracks to prepare for the new year's work. At this time, the "mage" can take on "tasks", such as requests from mortals in the outside world to "do things".
There are "new troops" recruited from the Three Realms, and there are also retired "veterans". After the soldiers return to the barracks, the "commanders of the soldiers and horses" and the "commanders at all levels" will inspect the "barracks" and arrange for the injured "soldiers and horses" to go to the "Shangqing Heavenly Hospital" for treatment and recuperation, or to unload their armor and return to the fields, or to continue their in-depth cultivation. Even "veterans" who are not suitable for service will be properly resettled in the future to avoid backlash.
Then, the "mages" take the "veterans" as the backbone, let the "recruits" join the camp, and accumulate combat experience through daily drills and tasks to build "meritorious service". The so-called "meritorious service" means that after the "mages" are invited, when they are outside to do "Dharma affairs", they use the "military array" to drive away evil spirits, ghosts, and other evil spirits.
After the contract is signed, the "recruits" recruited must strictly abide by the military regulations of the barracks and various functional arrangements. The five battalions are ready, and the commander of the military camp will send troops and horses according to the five directions to protect the peace of the party, and this distribution of soldiers and horses is specific to a certain city, a certain village, or even a certain road in the mortal world.
Although these "Yin soldiers" will not be stationed permanently, after setting this patrol route, if something unusual happens in the area in charge, they will be rewarded and punished clearly, and the responsibility will be assigned to the individual and to the barracks. According to the common people in the mortal world, it is the so-called "regional responsibility system", but it is often "invisible", and mortals generally do not see the "yin soldiers". In the control of soldiers and horses, rewards, and camps, the "Lushan Scientific Instrument" must also have the cooperation of "sparseness", so that it can be carried out in accordance with the law and checked and refused.
Generally speaking, the "soldiers and horses" of "Lushan Mage" can be divided into four categories: "Heavenly Soldiers", "Soldiers and Horses Left Behind by the Ancestors", "Earth Soldiers and Ground Generals", and "Mage's Personal Soldiers".
The "Heavenly Soldiers" are the so-called "divine soldiers" from the "Heavenly Realm". Such "soldiers and horses" can only be possessed after they are "receiving" or after the master promotes the apprentice to the heavenly court. As for how many "soldiers and horses" there can be, it is determined according to the "eight characters of birth" of the apprentices, with thousands of "soldiers and horses" at the top and hundreds of soldiers and horses at the least.
In the "Lushan Sect", it is impossible to obtain "Heavenly Soldiers" through other doors, because they are not allowed. If a fellow disciple says that he has a "doorway", what "procedure" can be used to help the other party obtain "heavenly soldiers" and how many "soldiers and horses" can be distributed to the other party, it is all bluffing nonsense, and they may be driven out of the division.
When the master is "performing", he can allocate some of his soldiers and horses to his apprentices, but after allocating, he will have fewer soldiers and horses. This kind of situation of transferring one's own soldiers and horses to others to do things needs to be determined by the depth of the skill of the "spell caster", that is, the deeper the Tao, the higher the cultivation, and the stronger the mana, the easier it is to mobilize the "soldiers and horses" without being counterattacked. Therefore, "troop transfer" is not an apprentice who can be transferred casually after learning, and it is not as easy as accepting younger brothers and horses.
As long as such a "heavenly soldier" asks the gods for his disciples, he will immediately go to the altar to assist the "mage" in practicing the Fa. And not what the apprentice ordered it to do. The apprentice is a person, and he is also the "mage" who acts on behalf of the heavens, and the soldiers and horses will assist people. If a person does not have a very high level of cultivation, it is impossible to order the "Heavenly Soldiers" to follow and help with anything.
Although the "soldiers and horses left by the ancestors" are easy to use, they are also "mages" that cannot be easily mobilized to do whatever they want. The only way to ask the "mage" to invite the "ancestor" to the altar is to bring the "soldiers and horses" to the altar immediately. When helping to practice the Fa, the "soldiers and horses" will also listen to the dispatch of the ancestors, which is the so-called "thinking of the soldiers and horses in the heart".
The various "soldiers and horses" of the "Lushan Mage" include the "ground soldiers and generals". This kind of "soldiers and horses", many sects have passed on the usage and orders. This kind of "soldiers and horses" belong to the regular "soldiers and horses" on the ground, similar to the "style gods", such as "city god soldiers and horses", "mountains and rivers society order". "Soldiers and horses" are like people, they belong to the soldiers and horses with regular establishment.
The ability of "ground soldiers" and "ground generals" is also very strong. Such "soldiers and horses", many high-level sects, have a set of procedures for recruiting, releasing troops, and collecting troops. This kind of soldiers and horses are limited to exorcism and collection of demons, and can listen to the orders of the "mage" and go anywhere to catch ghosts and demons. It's good to have such soldiers.
The "personal soldiers" on the "mage's" own altar, that is, the soldiers and horses recruited by the mage himself, are placed on the lower altar for his own "practice" to call. Such "soldiers and horses" are also the same as "ground soldiers", obeying the orders of the "mage". However, in terms of geography and capabilities, it is lower than that of the "ground soldiers".
Under normal circumstances, there are many such "soldiers and horses" in the southwest region, and the common ones belong to the category of "rampant soldiers", "yin soldiers", and "five battalion soldiers". Such "soldiers and horses" are also very fierce when they are used well. The scope of service ability is greater than that of "ground soldiers". If it is used to fight the law to drive away evil spirits, investigate things or attract wealth to go to the underworld to do things.
All of this can be done in a handful of ways. There are many kinds of "soldiers and horses" that can be sacrificed by themselves on the "Taoist altar", such as "Liuding Liujia Soldiers", "Jade Emperor Soldiers", "Five Battalion Soldiers", "Yin Soldiers and Yin Generals", "Ghost Soldiers and Ghost Generals", "Thunder Soldiers", "Thunder Soldiers" and so on. These "soldiers and horses" need to be passed on to the apprentices by the "Master Lushan", and then the apprentices can practice by themselves before they can be dispatched by the master.
Under normal circumstances, a "mage" with a lot of soldiers and horses can feel it, not some "masters" in the outside world who boast about it, saying that if I give you as many soldiers and horses, you can have as many "soldiers and horses". In fact, those who study the Fa themselves don't know whether there are "soldiers and horses" or not, and they just satisfy their vanity.
A "mage" with strong "soldiers and horses", when he leads his troops out to practice the law. It can be felt, at least 30 percent of the people can feel it. When you have been with such a person for a long time, you will feel very confident and want to be with him more and more, because he represents righteousness and Fa-rectification.
The "mages" who use fierce soldiers and horses basically look very majestic...... Even though he has a good heart, he looks a little scary on the surface.
The "Soldiers and Horses" in the "Lushan Spell" is an extremely secret technique in spell cultivation. Even many "cultivators" do not know that the word "terracotta and horses" exists in "spells", and even if some people have heard of it, they don't know much about it, let alone use it, because each sect has its own special heritage.
It's just that the "masters" of many sects don't know how to use the "soldiers and horses", because the "masters" of the "masters" have not passed down the "soldiers and horses".
So, where did the "Terracotta come from"? Many "Fa learners" have heard of words such as "Yin Soldiers and Yin Generals" and "Five Battalions of Soldiers and Horses". But in fact, these terms are just a broad term for "soldiers and horses", because these words mainly come from a sect——— "Faqimen", that is, "Qimen Dunjia Sect".
Among the "spells" used in "Faqi Gate", the most used is "Soldiers and Horses". Why is "Faqimen" so powerful? Because in addition to the unique "spells" in the "Faqi Gate", if you do things with the collective "soldiers and horses", you can find that the collective efficiency is of course much higher than the individual rate!
Therefore, among the many sects, it is true that some sects pay more attention to "soldiers and horses", and some do not pay so much attention. But it is undeniable that the use of "soldiers and horses" is the core content of each sect. Generally speaking, there are several schools that pay more attention to the use of "soldiers and horses", such as the "Five Battalion Soldiers" in the "Lushan Law", the "Maoshan Soldiers" in the "Maoshan Law", the "Yin Soldiers and Yin Generals" in the "Yinshan Law", and the "Meishan Law" in Hunan also use a lot of "rampant soldiers".
In some of the "Red Lotus Method" and "White Lotus Method", there are also special applications of "Soldiers and Horses". These sects have their own characteristics for the use of "soldiers and horses", but there are no more than four ways to obtain "soldiers and horses", such as the master personally pulls out, cultivates by himself, borrows soldiers from the cold altar outside, and collects the "soldiers and horses" of the opponent's "mage".
The "master" personally allocates "soldiers and horses" to his apprentices, which is the best way for "mages" to obtain "soldiers and horses", because this kind of "soldiers and horses" have enough energy and are easy to manage and use.
Although it is good to cultivate the "Soldiers and Horses" by yourself, it is not easy to manage and use due to the lack of skills, and sometimes special magic weapons are needed to manage the "Soldiers and Horses".
Borrowing "soldiers and horses" from the outside "cold altar"? The soldiers and horses obtained by this method are not easy to control, because most of the "cold altar soldiers and horses" are "lonely souls and wild ghosts" who have no "offerings".
Usually, only some "small sects" or "Yin cultivators" (ghost monks) go to the "cold altar" to coax and deceive to get "soldiers and horses". But the price paid for getting "soldiers and horses" in this way is very high, and even outweighs the loss, because the various Mao gods who have been lacking incense for many years are more ferocious and violent than evil ghosts.
However, the "mages" know that the "cold altar soldiers and horses" are comparable to the hellish ghosts, as long as they are used properly, it is still easy to achieve the goal, after all, when fighting with people, the stronger the strength of the "ghost pet", the easier it is to defeat the opponent, but it is easy to suffer from the "ghost pet" backlash, because it is difficult to drive it without feeding it with "essence blood".
As for collecting the "soldiers and horses" of the opponent's "mage", it requires that you must have a very strong cultivation and mana, and suppress the opponent with your "true ability" when fighting the law, so as to receive the "soldiers and horses" sent by the opponent's "mage". However, if you can use the strong combat power of the "Cold Altar Soldiers" to suppress the field, it is easy to succeed.
As a "cultivator", once you have a "soldier and horse" ("Shikigami", "Shikijin", "Ghost Pet"), there are pros and cons. Advantageously, the "mage" can use his "soldiers and horses" to drive the "soldiers and horses" to help him complete tasks or do something important.
At this point, the "mage" will feel unusually smooth. However, the disadvantage is that there are "soldiers and horses", and there are management problems, because "soldiers and horses" themselves are a kind of "spirit body", and it also has a certain "thinking", and there will also be requirements, such as sacrifices, offerings, feeding with essence blood, and practicing the exercises of the "master".
Especially when the "mage" has a lot of "soldiers" at the same time, they become difficult to manage. Sometimes, the "soldiers" do not even listen to the "mage" (master) and interfere with the life of the master. Although this affects the owner's body, it can bring trouble, and sometimes even make the owner irritable and troubled.
The number of "soldiers and horses" that each "mage" carries with him cannot be generalized, and the most important thing is to see whether the cultivation realm and true yuan and mana of the "mage" are strong? A powerful "mage" can have a lot of "soldiers and horses", which are generally given by the "master", usually tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands.
And the number of "mages" who have cultivated to a particularly advanced level often numbers in the millions, or even reach the level of tens of millions, such as the "mages" who have cultivated to the "Yuan Shen stage". And the few "soldiers and horses" are usually cultivated by themselves, for example, the "mages" in the "Qi refining period" only have a few or a dozen ordinary "soldiers and horses".
However, those who rely on their own cultivation to produce "soldiers and horses", once they are used well, it is also very bad, because with the continuous improvement of the cultivation realm of the "mage" (master), through special secret methods such as "essence blood feeding" and "soul sustenance" after a long period of sacrifice, the "soldiers and horses" are deliberately used as their own "clones".
Therefore, the "mages" ("ghost cultivators") will do whatever it takes to get the "Soldiers and Horses", after all, this is a special "talisman" that is better than the "magic weapon" and "flying sword", because this kind of "talisman" will produce "spiritual wisdom" after a long time. And in the "cold altar", the "borrowed" "not" is difficult to control, and some cannot be controlled.
"Soldiers and horses" are a tool often used by "mages", especially when doing tasks and fighting against enemies, "mages" ("ghost cultivators") rely on "soldiers and horses" ("Shikijin" or "worship gods") to fight. But the "soldiers and horses" will also make demands on the master, or it can be said that this is also a kind of mutual use!
If the "mage" uses the "soldiers and horses" to do things, he must provide for the "soldiers and horses". And if the "soldiers and horses" want to be treated well, they must work hard to do things for their masters. This "master-servant relationship" created through "spells", "spells", "forbidden charms", etc., depends on each other, uses each other, and takes what they need, similar to the ghost cultivators of the Oriental island country.
If a "mage" wants to make good use of the "soldiers and horses" to serve himself in an all-round way, he must do a lot of work, such as: "opening the altar to sacrifice soldiers", "starting the army and recruiting soldiers", "recruiting troops", "sending troops", "borrowing troops", "collecting troops", "raising soldiers", "training soldiers", and so on. Each of these procedures is very complex, involves confidentiality, and the law is not lightly transmitted.
For mortal cultivators, the cultivation of "mages" ("Yin-Yang Dao" or "Yin-Yang Liao") in cultivating "terracotta horses" ("Shikami" or "worship gods") is an indication of energy level. If the "mage" has "soldiers and horses", the mana is infinite. If you can get the master to allocate "soldiers and horses" to the apprentice, the apprentice's skill will suddenly multiply!
"Soldiers and horses" are also the strong backing of "Manifesting the Law". When the "mage" fights with enemies, demons, ghosts, elves, etc., it plays a vital role in the process of "performing spells", because "soldiers and horses" are actually a hybrid of "runes", "ghosts", "gods", "witchcraft" and "witchcraft", which is really a way to cultivate the truth!
