Transmigrated to the Ming Dynasty

Keyboard warrior Zhang Yuan, while arguing online about the 'historical limitations' of ancient people, is suddenly transported into a real hell—the 12th year of Chongzhen's reign, a camp of defeated soldiers outside Ruzhou. After three days of high fever, his fellow villager Chen Kang digs him out of a pile of corpses. When he opens his eyes again, a bandit's blade is already swinging at his brow. The good news is that the Daoist scriptures he memorized in Wudang in his past life seem to be somewhat usable. The bad news is that in this age of declining spiritual energy, divine movement talismans can't outrun galloping horses, and strength talismans can't withstand blade strikes. His only reliance is a 'life-saving divination' that can only be used three times a day, and the more he probes, the harsher the backlash. On the first day, the divination shows the way, and they escape an encirclement. On the second day, it points to food, and they snatch it from rats. On the third day, it warns of an ambush, but fails to save Chen Kang. Watching his brother stand firm with his spear until death, Zhang Yuan—now the defeated soldier Zhang Ying—draws a crooked talisman on his spear with blood. Then he bends down and hoists the cold corpse onto his shoulders. 'Kangzi, big brother is taking you home.' 'Back to Jiangxia.'
