Chapter 47 Talismans
Zhao Yu did not deliberately study the talisman in the illusion of Tianyan Mirror. However, in the illusion, Zhao Yu almost reached the top of the road, and under the high point, he also knew the talisman in the illusion.
Nowadays, everything in the real world and illusion is mostly false, and there are few real things. However, Zhao Yu gradually compared and refined the truth and gained something.
The mother furnace used talismans to make steel before.
Talisman is a means of using external objects to attract the power of heaven and earth as one's own use. The foundation of heaven and earth lies in the five elements. Therefore, the way of talisman extracted by Zhao Yu is the way of talisman based on the five talismans of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
These five Yuan Talismans are extraordinary and are the basis of the talisman. No changes will be separated from this framework from now on. At least in Zhao Yu's current understanding, this is true.
He picked up a piece of jade, concentrated his mind and calmed his energy, and his spiritual consciousness merged into the world, sensing the inspiration of heaven and earth, and traction of heaven and earth's primordial energy. He saw his fingers swaying, a little magic power flashed, and in the blink of an eye, a crooked but extremely mysterious rune appeared on the jade.
No matter who this rune is, even a newborn baby, can understand its meaning - earth.
This is the earth Yuan symbol, one of the five elements Yuan symbols.
Once the rune is complete, a faint yellow qi rises faintly around it, like a whale sucking water, and sinks into the jade plaque.
Zhao Yu's heart was still, his hands were still, and his spiritual consciousness was scattered within dozens of feet of radius around him, sensing the changes in Yuanqi and jade tablets bit by bit.
Suddenly, bang!
Zhao Yu's palm shook, and a clear crack appeared on the jade token in his hand.
Straws of yellow qi escaped from the cracks, boiled and settled at Zhao Yu's fingertips, and then the jade plaque turned into powder, while Zhao Yu's fingers turned yellow.
Shaking his head, his magic power shook, dissipating the yellow qi at his fingertips. Zhao Yu sighed, "It's not easy."
Even if it is Zhao Yu, it is not easy to make a Yuan Talisman.
There is a high possibility of failure.
What Zhao Yu wanted to arrange was the Four Symbols and Five Elements Formation. The other courtyard was the Five Elements Formation, and three mountain bags were arranged with the four intersecting passes as the array eyes. It was more appropriate to set up the Three Symbol Formation, but it was more difficult to set up the Three Symbol Formation.
The three talents are heaven, earth, man, sun, moon, star. The three talents of heaven, earth, man and man involve luck, while the three talents of sun, moon, star involve the power of induced stars. Zhao Yu is still not as powerful as that of now.
It’s not that the three talents are better than the four symbols and five elements, but the mystery involved is different. Zhao Yu hasn’t yet studied it here.
Let’s set up a four-simile array first and use it temporarily.
The Five Elements Formation requires a set of array base talismans, a total of 45 channels, and a total of 36 channels of Four Elephant Formation, and a total of 81 array base talismans. Moreover, the array base talismans of the Four Elephant Formation are more complicated.
To make eighty-one array base talismans, Zhao Yu didn't know if one month was enough.
After all, the success rate of talisman making is far less than 100%.
In addition to the formations of other courtyards, talismans are also required to manage the river.
The floods of the river are caused by the accumulation of mud and sand. The accumulation of mud and sand causes the earth qi to block the water qi, which is thus brewing into a flood. Zhao Yu planned to make the earth-gathering talisman - a change in the application of the earth-gathering talisman, which is buried along the river. The earth-gathering talisman is used to form a formation of earth-gathering stalks, and lead the earth qi away from the river, thereby solving the problem of water qi blockage.
Of course, this is also a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and it is not essentially different from building a dike along the river. To solve the floods of the river from the root, you have to start from the upstream.
Zhao Yu will not consider it for the time being.
Therefore, there are many talismans that Zhao Yu wants to make.
So in the earth courtyard, there are occasionally fire lights, occasionally water lights, and occasionally green qi, and the five elements are reflected in each other.
In the wooden courtyard, Zhang Lingzheng whispered to Cai Yan.
"The sound of the lingering sound is lingering on the beams, and it lasts for three days. The music of Zhaoji's sister is really superb."
Zhang Ling's eyes were full of colors: "Can you teach me?"
Cai Yan smiled sweetly: "Yes."
For Cai Yan, perhaps the only thing he has to do today is to play the piano apart from reading books.
If I don’t play a few songs every day, I always feel like I’m missing something.
Xiaochun and Xiaoqiu, and Xiaoya Xiaoyu, four girls were right beside them, with their hands on their chins, listening very happily.
Zhang Ling may also be an extremely simple person, or since she became sensible, she has never been exposed to anything other than Taiping Dao. Although this has developed her extremely calm state of mind, in fact, this state of mind is very fragile because she has never experienced the tempering of the world.
After lunch, she talked with Cai Yan, and then listened to Cai Yan playing the piano in the wooden courtyard. She felt something for a moment and felt it seemed very interesting.
For women, no matter ancient and modern times, they always talk about men when they talk in private.
So we talked about Zhao Yu.
The two of them expressed their feelings. One said they were captured by Zhao Yu, and the other said they were forcibly brought out from Chang'an City by Zhao Yu. For a while, you complained and I complained, but in fact, only they themselves know the best.
As for Lao Zhang, Wang Po, Cai Bo and others, they are also very idle. Wang Po is fine, he has nothing to do to be a female girl. Cai Bo and Lao Zhang are hard to talk about together. Although Cai Bo is also a servant, he has been with Cai Bo and has decades of old servants, and his cultural literacy is not low. As for Lao Zhang, he is a pure ordinary family and cannot read a single word.
However, the villa was cold and there were no more people talking with him. Cai Bo then played chess with Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang didn't know how to do it, so Cai Bo taught him and he was happy.
Wang Po’s son, daughter-in-law and grandson are all integrated into one. The vegetable field in the other courtyard is the main business of Wang Po’s son’s family. They will not be fine.
Guan Hai and more than 20 people were taken away by Guan Hai in the afternoon and found fruit trees for Zhao Yu. The rest were led by Guan Ming and were not lazy. In the next month, Cao Mengde took the time to come twice.
But he only had one meal every time and left. Zhao Yu had no time to entertain him.
Over the past month, Cao Mengde has gradually taken complete control of Yanzhou. Many government decrees have been issued in an orderly manner, including agriculture, commercial affairs, public security, etc.
With the talented kings and subordinates like Xun Yu, he was able to control the government in Yanzhou.
However, because of Cao Mengde's governance philosophy, in all aspects, it gradually began to have dirty conflicts with aristocratic families. Cao Mengde first wanted to census of the population and land, and this first point was conflicted openly and secretly. Fortunately, Xun Yu was able to do so and finally implemented it.
On the other hand, it is commercial affairs, specifically taxation. It is fundamental to clarify Yanzhou, population, land, and taxation. But these three points are all the interests of the aristocratic families. The population is still good, but now it is not uncommon for refugees to be everywhere. The main reason is that the land and related taxes are contrary to the wishes of the aristocratic families.
Which family of aristocratic families is not a thousand hectares of fertile land? Which one has some money-making business? Since the rise of the family, the Han family has gradually lost control of the local area. The various taxes have been hidden and kept on the common people, and this is even more true for commercial affairs.
In addition, in terms of public security, many powerful people have been arrested for breaking the law.
This also makes the family quite complain.
They have become accustomed to only enjoying rights and interests without taking on obligations. It is certainly not that simple for Cao Mengde to make trouble on Tai Sui.
Looking at the end of the Han Dynasty in history, Cao Mengde was the only one who was betrayed by his subordinates and almost lost his foundation. This is the reason. Cao Mengde had great ambitions and knew where the world's big troubles were. If you want to fundamentally solve this problem, you will naturally have to touch the pain points of the aristocratic class.
Whether it is Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, they rely on aristocratic families and have huge power, but in fact, they have never worked hard on their roots. Even Liu Bei also relied on aristocratic families after entering Shu and did not dare to take action.
Cao Mengde dared to take action, so he was betrayed.
It is also sad. After Cao Mengde suffered a great loss this time, he was probably afraid and never dared to be too extreme. Later, he even introduced the Nine-grade Zhongzheng system that compromised with the clans.
After all, the clan is powerful, even if you have the will, you are powerless.
However, at present, Zhao Yu supported him and prepared a set meal for the aristocratic families. Cao Mengde was ready to do a big fight.
During this month, Cao Mengde came here twice, more or less, and would discuss this issue with Zhao Yu. The main thing is to grasp the degree. What degree should be used to stimulate the aristocratic families, and it should be just right. I hope that they will rebel when they rebel.
Take control of initiative in your own hands.
The biggest trump card for dealing with aristocratic families is to break the knowledge monopoly. Therefore, in addition to the above, Cao Mengde came here twice and asked how the Enlightenment books were compiled. Zhao Yu was so annoyed that he had to do the printing of movable type first.
As for enlightenment books, isn’t that simple?
Three-character scriptures, thousand-character scriptures, disciple rules, and best enlightenment books. If you modify them a little, just copy them.
Of course, the enlightenment books that Zhao Yu wants to prepare are not just these. He also plans to compile two books, basic mathematics and basic physical objects. For the time being, he is busy making talismans and waiting for the talismans to be made before doing this.
A month later, when Cao Mengde came for the third time, Zhao Yu took out all these things, making Cao Mengde amazed and applauded repeatedly.
By this time, the formation of the other courtyard had been completed.
Eighty-one talismans penetrated into the array eyes reserved early, and Zhao Yu used magic power to set up the formation. Under the influence of the formation induced the Five Elements Yuan Qi, the entire courtyard gradually produced wonderful changes. It was clearly the end of the year of winter, but the temperature gradually warmed up, just like the time when spring and summer were intersecting.
The fruit trees that Guan Hai and others just planted began to turn green. Flower buds emerged and bloomed around the New Year's Eve. The three mountains surrounded by bustling trees began to return to spring.
At the same time, the misty mist enveloped the three mountain bags, giving people a feeling of being in a fairyland.
After the Lantern Festival in 193, he personally sent a hundred young people from civilians selected by Cao Mengde to the place where he was in his twenties. Then Cao Mengde took away hundreds of earth-gathering talismans and a drawing prepared for him by Zhao Yu. The drawings are topographic maps of the river bank of the first line of Yanzhou, and the place where the earth-gathering talismans were buried was pointed out. This matter must be handled by Cao Mengde's confidants and cannot be handed over to others.
Once these hundreds of earth-gathering talismans are buried, the talismans are inducing each other and a group of earth-gathering arrays will be built along the river. From then on, Yanzhou will no longer be affected by floods.
