Mythology Returns! Starting with Folklore and Strange Tales

Chapter 138 Zhang Wei: I'll submit a report, Master, please take off your hat.

Of course, thunder talismans are not everything.

After the Five Thunder Talismans are used up, there are still True Fire Talismans, Evil-repelling and Suppressing Talismans, Golden Knives, and Silver Swords. Although the inventory of these is not as large as the Five Thunder Talismans, it still adds up to tens of thousands.

This is why Zhang Wei didn't know what the wolf guard was thinking.

Otherwise, he would definitely ask, "How do you know my talisman was printed?"

For traditional Taoist priests, the best results can only be achieved by following rituals, no matter what they do.

But as I've already said, this applies to traditional Taoist priests.

Zhang Wei cannot yet be considered a member of the Taoist sect, nor is he traditional.

In essence, rituals are guidelines for the behavior of disciples and followers, much like school rules or company regulations. However, compared to the latter two, the most important function of rituals is to maintain a connection with the divine, to pray for divine protection, blessings, and assistance.

To put it simply, it's just like schoolwork. If you do well in your studies and get excellent grades, you will naturally receive the appreciation and care of your teachers. When casting spells or borrowing magic, the gods and immortals will be more willing to help you.

The key issue is that Zhang Wei became an academician as soon as he entered the university, or at least a candidate for academician. He was valued but not announced to the public due to regulations. However, he received all the benefits that students should have. Therefore, whether or not to do this homework is no longer of much significance.

This may be why the prospective master told him that rituals and Taoist scriptures could be learned, but not explored too deeply.

The first requirement for making talismans is materials, followed by the combination of essence, energy, and spirit. Finally, one must worship heaven and earth to obtain permission from the gods and immortals for the talismans to be made. Once these three elements are met, the rest is just a matter of drawing a pattern.

He has all the necessary materials, all the necessary energy and spiritual power, and all he needs is permission; his prospective master is right in front of him.

He submitted a report, his master approved it, and the process was complete. So what's wrong with him directly printing the talisman?

say!

Did you really think he was so arrogant that he was provoked by the silhouette setting and made wild claims about destroying the Jin dynasty?

Without a few trump cards up his sleeve, how could Zhang Wei be so arrogant?

This is why there was no preparation before entering the silhouette, so he could only use the old woodblock printing method to modify it on the spot. Moreover, he did not obtain permission from the corresponding gods for many of the targeted talismans, so he could only use the more common ones or his master's private ones.

Otherwise, Zhang Wei would definitely bring over the modern industrial printing press to show these demons and evil spirits what it means for times to change!

Although it saved him the trouble of writing each stroke, the carving process itself was complicated, and Zhang Wei spent most of his time on the mountain learning various skills, so he only had about half an hour a day to print talismans.

Over the course of a year, not counting the auxiliary talismans, there were only a few hundred thousand offensive talismans.

It wouldn't be called a waste, but I didn't make the most of this opportunity either. It's a pity, but I don't regret it.

""

The wolf guard felt frustrated but had nowhere to vent its anger. Faced with Zhang Wei, who was producing thousands of talismans like a printing press, it could only despairingly turn red in the eyes and use the military secrets it had learned through torture to control its pig soldiers and launch a desperate charge.

The result, naturally, was without a doubt.

Even with armor, secret techniques, or even hidden spells, they are still, in essence, flesh and blood.

The Boxer Rebellion occurred more than a decade before the events of Dingxu's extraordinary famine.

However, the wolf guards got a taste of what it would be like to use their flesh and blood to withstand a saturation bombardment.

First, the Great White Umbrella Buddha Mother Mantra, which was supposedly an indestructible mantra, flickered a few times like a faulty light bulb before shattering.

Subsequently, the combined might of the more than a thousand pig soldiers was struck and howled incessantly. The ferocious black giant wolf, like graffiti on a blackboard, was wiped away piece by piece by the thunderstorm until it vanished into thin air.

Even so, the wolf-guarded army of thousands managed to cross more than ten meters and rush to Zhang Wei's side.

Just as the group of pig soldiers, bleeding from all seven orifices, were excitedly watching their spears about to pierce the evil Taoist, a gust of bloody wind swept beneath his feet and he was sent flying!

Yes, it can even fly!

The wolf guard, who was dizzy from being hit by one combo after another, now remembered that when he was first kicked away, this evil technique had fallen from the sky.

But once I figured it out, my anger only grew stronger.

If you have this ability, why don't you just use it directly?

It's so elegant to watch them being annihilated by thunderstorms from the sky, but we have to stand on the ground and force them to fight desperately.

Do they have to be so despicable, so manipulative, to disgust them in order to get pleasure?

"You bastard, you wicked path, I'll fuck you, you son of a bitch."

Hearing the faint curses coming from the crackling thunder below, a slight smile appeared on Zhang Wei's lips.

If you do something wrong and don't get this comment, it always feels like something's missing.

As for the wolf guard's harsh words... it was already beaten to a pulp by the lightning talisman, so what's wrong with the wolf guard cursing a few words at the end? Is it really that intolerant?

As Zhang Weifeng rode the wind and stood in mid-air watching the thunderstorm gradually subside, behind him, on the street, Afu led a group of hundreds of spirit rats carrying loads and basins slowly towards them.

Thus, the Snake Prefect and the Wolf Guard of Zhengding Prefecture, along with their henchmen, were all wiped out.

Zhang Wei opened the brocade pouch, made a hand seal, and absorbed all the various medicinal herbs and rare treasures held in the spirit rat's arms. Then, he pointed at the spot and said, "These gold and silver jewels are your reward!"

It's not a good idea to always use "many children, many blessings" as payment.

Moreover, this time it's a prefecture, and the number and quality of the rats summoned by the Five Rats for Wealth have improved a lot. They no longer just need to find a place and run errands like before, so the cost is naturally higher.

The precious gold and silver jewelry can just cover the cost of this transaction, with a little left over.

The key is that it saves you time and effort.

After all, Zhang Wei hadn't forgotten that before he broke through the protective influence of the land and people of Zhengding Prefecture, the wolf guard had already spread the signal fires. Now, the entire Beihe region, along with the Later Jin forces in Jin, might have already received the news.

Although the Later Jin dynasty had a terrible reputation and was extremely incompetent, it was still a dynasty, so the pressure on individuals was still quite terrifying!

Hearing his words, one of the larger white-haired rats, which had already become a demon but had not yet refined its horizontal bone, bowed to Zhang Wei. Then, with a wave of its two small paws, hundreds of rats scattered in all directions, carrying gold and silver.

Only the white mouse stared at Zhang Wei, its two little paws bowing repeatedly as if trying to express something.

But just then, dozens of figures suddenly darted out from the streets and alleys. These people, both men and women, were carrying various weapons and props and were rushing towards this side.

Zi Guang glanced at these people, noticing the protruding heads on their collars, chests, and other relatively concealed areas in front of them. Zhang Wei, who had originally intended to eradicate evil completely, suddenly widened his eyes in shock. He no longer cared about the Jurchens and scattered demons and evil spirits that had not yet been completely eliminated in Zhengding Prefecture.

Compared to that insignificant gain, being "captured alive" by people from his hometown was what he found most unacceptable!

With a backhand slash, he unleashed a torrent of blood energy that surged towards the ground, obscuring vision. Simultaneously, enveloped by the blood energy, he swooped down, grabbed Ah Fu by the scruff of the neck, and, holding the shrunken golden tiger in his arms, soared into the sky.
