Chapter Sixty-Eight The Book of Changes Zimu Talisman

No two of these one thousand, two hundred and ninety-six characters are exactly the same. Each character looks similar, but there are subtle differences between the twists and turns of each character, and only this subtle difference , the meaning of the characters is completely different.

And Ying Yi discovered that these one thousand two hundred and ninety-six characters were the same as the character activated by the Yi Jing.

Yes, these characters are exactly the same no matter how you look at them when compared with the characters activated by the I Ching. But once these characters are compared with each other, subtle differences emerge.

Ying Yi understood.

The character activated by the I Ching is the mother symbol. And these one thousand two hundred and ninety-six characters are sub-symbols. Each sub-symbol is a variation of the parent symbol. All sub-symbols are branches of the parent talisman. They are derived from the mother symbol, so they appear to be identical when compared to the mother symbol. But they evolve differently from each other, so there are differences between sub-talents.

These one thousand two hundred and ninety-six sub-talismans explained to Ying Yi the principles of the basic Jin Yuan Talisman. A lot of insights arose in Ying Yi's heart. With these one thousand two hundred and ninety-six sub-talismans, he could completely play with the basic gold-yuan talisman!

The basic gold elemental talisman is not a kind of elemental talisman, but a category. A broad category. These one thousand, two hundred and ninety-six sub-talents can be combined infinitely to synthesize countless kinds of basic gold-yuan talismans, producing countless usages and countless effects.

But Ying Yi doesn't have that ability right now.

He tried to combine the sub-symbols in his mind, but found that he could only combine them in pairs, and only the first six of the one thousand, two hundred and ninety-six sub-symbols.

Ying Yi felt vaguely enlightened, and couldn't help but glance at the soul item on the other side.

"Is it restricted by the soul..."

He has only added some physical strength now. The new item after the formation of the Yuan Qi plan, the soul, is only 1 like the true spirit.

"No more for now." Ying Yi made up his mind and shifted his attention back to the Yuan Fu item. There were still four options under the Yuan Talisman that were not turned on, so he then turned on the basic Wood Yuan Talisman and the basic Water Yuan Talisman, and gained relevant knowledge - for each basic Yuan Talisman option turned on, Ying Yi would get one thousand two hundred Ninety-six sub-talents. These sub-talents are all different, but they all evolved from the mother talisman of the Book of Changes.

"There are still 26 true spiritual numbers left. To open all the basic talismans, we need close to 200 true spiritual numbers. And after the primordial talismans are opened, a large amount of true spiritual numbers will be needed for the elemental items. This is forcing me to go Kill people and take away souls!”

He cheered up and stood up slowly.

The mystery of Yuan Fu made Ying Yi's heart beat violently, and he even had a vague glimpse of the magical functions of Yuan Fu and Yuan Qi. Once Yuan Qi's plan is fully opened, the door will be completely opened, and a brand new world will be revealed in front of him.

But before that, he had to kill.

"At least a thousand, or even more, true spiritual numbers." Ying Yi pushed open the cellar board and jumped up. Facing the gray sky, Ying Yi grinned, showing his full white teeth: "The war is about to happen. There are many beasts, so don't worry about not having enough to kill."

He patted the dust on his clothes and left Ye County in large strides.

...

"The additional troops sent by the intruders may be arriving soon."

On the open ground in Xiaowangzhuang, officers from more than a hundred households were sitting on the ground. Ying Yi stood in front and said: "The war is coming, but we can't know exactly when it will be."

Two soldiers came closer carrying a door panel. Ying Yi grabbed the door panel and inserted it into the soil: "Everyone, please see, this is the current situation of Ye County, Wuyang, and Yuzhou counties in the northeast of Nanyang."

On the door panel is a crude military map drawn in charcoal.

Ye County, Wuyang, Yuzhou, including Fangcheng Mountain and several large rivers, official roads, and Xiaowangzhuang.

Although this map is simple, it is extremely detailed in some places, especially at the southern foot of Fangcheng Mountain. Many mountains, valleys, and dangerous places are marked.

"This is the result of the Ye Bu Shou team these days." Ying Yi pointed to the map and said: "Previously, the Huguang soldiers and the thieves generals Hao Yaoqi and Liu Zongmin's troops were basically facing each other in Yuzhou. The Huguang army was large and the thieves were small. Therefore, the traitors have been slowly retreating northward these days."

"The direction they are retreating to is Fangcheng Mountain." Ying Yi pressed his finger hard on the southern foot of Fangcheng Mountain.

"Now that the intruders are increasing their troops, I think the Huguang soldiers will be unable to hold back. There is a high chance that they will have a battle with Hao Yaoqi and Liu Zongmin's troops before the intruders arrive. But no matter what, These bandits will withdraw to the southern foot of Fangcheng Mountain. The specific location cannot be determined for the time being, but they are the most dangerous places. Niutou Ridge, Yufang Pass and Baihe River Valley."

There are three places marked on the map, and they are in big black letters.

"The thieves burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil. They are our enemies. The Huguang soldiers are not much better. Zuo Liangyu is no different from the thieves. They kill good people and take credit for nothing. They rob the people no more than the thieves. I would rather see them die together. But this is unlikely. The thief Zuo Liangyu is the best at running away, just like a dog."

At this point, Ying Yi changed his subject: "We can't continue to train peacefully here. After the officials from each hundred households go down, be ready to leave tonight. Our destination is here." He pointed at the map. The point above is located in the southern foothills of Fangcheng Mountain, a valley not far from Niutouling, Yufang Pass and Baihe River Valley: "We will station here so that we can respond quickly once a war breaks out."

After sending away all the officials from hundreds of households, Ying Yi left two officials from thousands of households behind.

Zhu Bingkun and Zhou Li pricked up their ears when they knew that Ying Yi had something to say.

Ying Yi said: "The bandits are poisoning the people. I have a deep hatred against the bandits. And the government and the army are not good people either. So we are not any party, we are a third party."

Zhu Bingkun and Zhou Li both showed understanding smiles after hearing this.

They have already experienced this since Ying Yi seized power from Zheng Yunzhi. I know that Ying Yi is not the loyal dog of the Ming Dynasty, let alone the subordinate of the bandit. These days, I have already been mentally prepared.

"So the best outcome for these two sides is that both sides lose." Ying Yi said seriously: "But Zuo Liangyu is the best thief at running away. I'm afraid that this thief will shrink back when he learns that the intruders have sent more troops. In this way , leaving the army of intruders intact, we will have to deal with it alone."

The two couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

"So we must strengthen Zuo Liangyu's fighting spirit." Ying Yi said: "I will go to see Zuo Liangyu in person later, and I will tell him the news about the bandits sending more troops, but the news I told him will be three days later. The army of intruders has arrived."

"The vanguard scouts sent by the intruders to increase their troops have appeared in Ye County today. The large group of troops will definitely arrive before dark. They will definitely arrive at the southern foot of Fangcheng Mountain tomorrow. And Zuo Liangyu must not know..."
