1. The Art of Spiritual Soldiers (兵馬之道)

In Liuren Fajiao, the Altar is a functioning military outpost. Troop Deployment (兵馬佈防 - Bing Ma) is the mastery of commanding spiritual "Soldiers and Horses" to execute complex tasks that are beyond the reach of simple talismans. This is a core discipline of the Sanshanjiao (Three Mountains Teaching) .

2. Functional Ritual Dynamics

Commanding Bing Ma requires a combination of Altar Authority , Ritual Direction , and Payment of Merit .

Deployment Phase	Metaphysical Action	Practitioner Result
Review (Dian Bing)	Invoking the Shisanlang to gather the troops.	Ensuring the "Office" is fully staffed for the operation.
Direction (Fa Bing)	Using the Sword-Finger or Peach Wood Sword to direct the Qi.	Launching the troops to a specific target or location.
Overwatch (Shou Bing)	Recalling the troops to the Altar after execution.	Preventing spiritual "Leakage" or the troops from wandering.

3. Advanced Tactical Applications

Bing Ma are deployed for high-stakes spiritual work:

Space Clearing (Jing Zhai): Dispatching a "Sweeping Squad" to clear a property of non-lineage entities (see Section 16).
Protection (Pei Dai): Assigning "Personal Bodyguards" to a client or disciple during periods of extreme threat.
Recovery (Zhao Hun): Sending spiritual "Search and Rescue" teams to find and return scattered soul fragments (see Section 44).

4. Lineage Command: The Weight of Authority

Bing Ma in Liuren are handled with strict military discipline and profound respect. They are not servants, but spiritual partners in the lineage's work. The practitioner's authority to command is based on their Lineage Pulse and their continued sincerity toward the Masters.

Righteous Partnership: The troops assist the practitioner because they recognize the authority of the Liuren Xianshi acting through the disciple.
Lineage Vows (Huan Yuan): A commander must always honor their commitments to the Altar. If you request the assistance of the troops, you must return the favor through ritual incense and the performance of good deeds in the lineage's name.

Mandatory Rule:

Always perform the Returning Vows (Huan Yuan - 還願) ritual after a successful deployment. Spirit soldiers rely on the ritual energy and respect provided by the practitioner. If you command them without honoring the Altar, the troops will eventually "Withdraw," leaving your ritual station unauthorized and vulnerable.
