[March 9th]
The population of Black Mountain Village is one hundred and twelve, with three black dogs and twenty-one morning roosters.
Recording these numbers daily is truly troublesome!
With spring plowing imminent, Master wishes to set up the altar and paint talismans today.
Prepare the shen kan, incense burner, offerings, magic artifact, talisman paper, vermillion, morning rooster, black dog blood, glutinous rice, etc., don't forget!
The task of painting talismans requires a genuine talismanic Taoist; I wished to observe but was refused by Master. Is invoking the Power of the Daoist Lord to draw talismans truly more terrifying than the hunt of evil spirits?
Today, I was again instructed to handle villagers' requests wholeheartedly, without negligence, stating that opening the Ghost Gate and passing the Yin is an essential task.
