Chapter 461 Half-Immortal Zuo Ci (II)

"Well, I know a lot about Zuo Ci. This Mr. Wujiao, the name of Zuo Cidao, was a famous monk in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Fang Shi is the collective name of those who claimed to be able to visit the gods and refine the elixir in order to achieve immortality. When Zuo Ci was young, he lived in Tianzhu Mountain and studied the art of alchemy. It is said that he rarely has Shinto, what kind of Ge Xuanzhi Shi is, and I don't know what the specific Ge Xuan Shi is. There is also a book that says that he is good at the art of the room, and after sixty or seventy years of cultivation, he became an immortal after death. Some people say that he can enslave ghosts and gods, will change, and will open valleys. Anyway, it's just some spells that you think are very powerful when you listen to them, which means that he is very powerful. Dazhe said. Look at you, a fat man, just wanted you to show off, and you exposed your shortcomings of not being educated. Ge Xuan's teacher, is the meaning of Ge Xuan's teacher, Ge Xuan is a very powerful alchemist, he is the brother of Ge Hong's grandfather, this Ge Xuan and Ge Hong are both very powerful alchemists in ancient times, and they are also pharmacists, and they were once rumored to be the characters of the feather ascending immortals. Yun Ximing said. Yes, yes, that's what I mean, isn't it for you to add to me? Dazhe quickly changed his words. Okay, you better hurry up and talk about your Zuo Ci, I'm quite interested in this Zuo Ci, God is chattering, don't say it, it's really a bit like the old Zuo we just saw. Min Lan said.

"If you want to say that this Zuo Ci is a lot of powerful things, there are countless of them. Once Cao Cao went out to the suburbs to play, and there were more than 100 scholars accompanying him. Zuo Ci sent a bottle of wine. A slice of dried meat. Pour the bottle with your own hands and toast to every official, and there is no official who does not eat and get drunk. Cao Cao felt strange and sent someone to find out the reason. I visited the liquor shop and it turned out that all their liquor and dried meat were lost yesterday. Cao Cao was furious and secretly planned to kill Zuo Ci. Once, Zuo Ci was at Cao Cao's banquet, and Cao Cao was about to arrest him, but he retreated into the wall and suddenly disappeared. Cao Cao offered a reward for his arrest. He was seen in the bazaar. Just as I was about to capture him. The people in the bazaar are exactly the same as Zuo Ci, and they don't know which one is Zuo Ci. Later, someone met Zuo Ci on the top of Yangcheng Mountain, Henan, and chased him again. And he fled into the flock. Cao Cao knew that he couldn't catch Zuo Ci. He ordered his subordinates to go to the flock and tell Zuo Ci that Gong Cao would not kill you anymore. It turns out that it's just to try your Taoism. Now that I've got the verification, I just want to meet you. Suddenly, an old ram bent the knees of his forelegs. Stand like a man and say, "Why do you want to be like this?" People immediately said: This sheep is Zuo Ci. And they ran to catch it, but the flock, which was hundreds of them, became rams, and all of them bent up the knees of their forelegs, and stood like men, saying, "Why are you so busy?" So people don't know which sheep to catch. How's that, isn't it particularly powerful. Dazhe said.

"I don't think it's amazing, it feels like people made it up no matter how you look at it, and it's too evil." Min Lan said.

"This is not all, some people say that they saw Zuo Ci in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao, who was the assassin of Jingzhou at that time, also thought that Zuo Ci was a demon who confused people's hearts, and planned to catch and kill him. Liu Biao came out with soldiers and horses to show off, Zuo Ci knew that Liu Biao wanted to see what Taoist skills he had, so he slowly walked up to Liu Biao and said: I have some meager gifts to reward your army. Liu Biao said: You are alone, a Taoist priest, and I have so many people, can you reward me? Zuo Ci said it again, and Liu Biao sent someone to see what the gift was, and saw that there was only a bucket of wine and a small bundle of dried meat, but ten people didn't lift it. Zuo Ci brought the dried meat himself, cut the meat piece by piece to the ground, and asked a hundred people to bring wine and dried meat and distribute them to the soldiers. Three glasses of wine and one piece of jerky for each soldier. The jerky tasted the same as usual, and more than 10,000 soldiers were full of food and drink, but there was no shortage of wine in the wine vessel, and the jerky was not eaten up, and Liu Biao's more than 1,000 guests were also drunk. Liu Biao was taken aback and dispelled the intention of killing Zuo Ci. Later, Sun Ce killed the Taoist priest Yu Ji, Zuo Ci visited Sun Ce, and Sun Ce also wanted to kill Zuo Ci. Sun Ce wanted to give him a knife from behind, when Zuo Ci was wearing wooden shoes and holding a bamboo cane and walked slowly, Sun Ce chased after him with a weapon but couldn't catch up, so he knew that Zuo Ci had Taoist skills and didn't dare to kill him again. Dazhe said.

"According to what you say, this Zuo Ci is not a good person, how can everyone want to kill him, who will succeed in the end?" Min Lan asked.

In the end, no one succeeded, but Cao Cao caught Zuo Ci a few times. Once Cao Cao summoned Zuo Ci, locked him in a stone house, sent people to monitor him, did not give him food for a year, and only released him after a year, and saw that he was still the same as before. Cao Cao thinks that there is no reason for people in the world not to eat, and Zuo Ci actually didn't eat for a year, it must be a demonic side, and he had to kill him. Cao Cao's idea of killing Zuo Ci together, Zuo Ci knew, so he asked Cao Cao to spare him an old life and let him go home. Cao Cao said: Why are you in such a hurry to go? Zuo Ci said: You want to kill me, so I beg you to let me go. Cao Cao said: Where is it, how can I kill you. Since you have noble aspirations, I will not force you to keep you. Cao Cao set up a banquet for Zuo Ci, and Zuo Ci said: I am going to travel far away, and I ask to share a drink with you. Cao Cao agreed. At that time, the weather was very cold, and the wine was soaking in the fire, Zuo Ci pulled out the hairpin on his head and stirred the wine, and in a moment the hairpin was dissolved in the wine, just like the ink dissolved into water when grinding ink. At the beginning, Cao Cao saw Zuo Ci asking for a glass of wine, thinking that he drank half a glass first and then gave Zuo Ci the remaining half of his own cup, but he didn't expect Zuo Ci to use the hairpin to draw his wine glass first, and the wine glass was divided into two halves, and there was wine in both halves, several inches apart. Zuo Ci drank half of it first, and gave the other half of the cup to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was not very happy, and he didn't drink it right away, so Zuo Ci asked Cao Cao to come over and drink it himself. After drinking, the cup was thrown on the beam, and the cup was suspended and shook on the beam, like a bird about to swoop to the ground. After inquiring, he said that Zuo Ci had returned to his own residence, and this time Cao Cao wanted to kill Zuo Ci even more, and wanted to see if Zuo Ci could escape death. Cao Cao ordered Zuo Ci to be arrested, and later someone who knew Zuo Ci's whereabouts secretly told Cao Cao, and Cao Cao sent someone to arrest him, and he was caught as soon as he was caught. In fact, it was not that Zuo Ci couldn't escape, but that he deliberately wanted to show Cao Cao his change technique. So Zuo Ci asked his captors to tie him up and throw him into prison. The warden planned to torture Zuo Ci, but found that there was a Zuo Ci in the house and a Zuo Ci outside the house, and I don't know which one was the real Zuo Ci. When Cao Cao found out, he held even more resentment, so he ordered Zuo Ci to be tied up and killed. Zuo Ci suddenly disappeared from the execution ground. So he ordered the city gates to be closed and a large number of arrests were made. Some of the arresters said they didn't know Zuo Ci, and the officials told him that Zuo Ci was blind in one eye, wearing a blue Gebu shirt and a Gebu turban, and that he would arrest such a person when he saw him. After a while, the people of the whole city became blind and wore green kudzu cloth and tied a scarf, and no one could tell which one was Zuo Ci. Cao Cao ordered the scope of the search to be expanded, and killed as long as it was caught. Later, someone saw Zuo Ci, so he killed and dedicated it to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was overjoyed, and the corpse was transported to see that it was a bundle of thatch, and then went to the place where Zuo Ci was killed to find the body, which was gone. Dazhe said, and while talking, he also learned to twist his beard like everyone in ancient times.

"Wake up the fat man, he doesn't have a beard, what do you pretend, let you say this, this Zuo Ci is not a half-immortal, but an immortal." Yun Ximing said.

"Isn't it an immortal, I have always felt that the world says that Zuo Ci is a half-immortal, which is too modest. It's not just people in power like Cao Cao who think Zuo Ci is powerful, but even the same monks as Zuo Ci also admire him very much. Once Zuo Ci went to Dongwu and heard that there was a Taoist person named Xu Fall in Dantu, so he went to visit. There were six or seven guests in front of Xu Fall's door, and there were six or seven ox carts parked. When the guests saw Zuo Ci's appearance, they felt that they were not a character, so they lied to Zuo Ci that Xu Cheng was not at home. Zuo Ci knew that the guest had lied to him, so he took his leave and left. After Zuo Ci left, the guests saw the ox cart walking on the poplar treetops, and climbed to the tree to look again, but the ox cart was gone. When he got down from the tree, he saw the ox cart walking on the tree again. In some cases, a foot-long thorn grew out of the round hole in the center of the wheel of the ox cart, and the cart could not be pushed. The guests were shocked, and hurriedly ran to report that there was an old man who was blind in one eye, and that we saw that he was a layman, so we lied to him that the master was not there, and after the old man left, this strange thing happened to the ox and the cart, and I don't know what happened. As soon as Xu Yuan heard it: Ah, this is Zuo Cigong coming to visit me, how can you lie to him! Hurry up and chase it and maybe you can catch it back. So the guests scattered to chase after him, and after catching up with Zuo Ci, they all kowtowed to him to apologize. Zuo Ci was relieved, so he asked the guests to go back, and when the guests went back to see, sure enough, the oxen and the cart had returned to their original appearance. You say it's not a god, this kind of Taoism is clearly a god. Dazhe said.

"A lot of what is written in the book is exaggerated, and I can't believe it all, but Zuo Ci does have his own people, and he does have some ability, there is no doubt about this." Uncle Lu said.

"Listening to a few people talk about it here, it's really a lot of knowledge, but I've also seen a lot of scientific researchers, most of them are old-fashioned and boring, and a few of them are not like that." Dr. Jiang said.

"Hey, we're just idle clouds and wild cranes, engaged in scientific research, and we also travel around, so our personalities are really different from ordinary scientific research staff, which makes you laugh." Uncle Lu said.

"But there is such a plaque here, could it be because Old Man Zuo used to like what kind of immortal cultivation and refining medicine?" Dr. Jiang said.

"What? Dr. Chiang, is this your first time here? I asked.

"It's also a strange thing, how can this son of the Zuo family be forty years old, because of mental problems, he often messes around in the town, either by the aid station, or by the police station, after each treatment, I help the nurse send him back here, but every time the old man Zuo sits at the door, and never invites us into the house to sit, so what is it like in this house, I also see it for the first time." Dr. Jiang said.

"This Zuo Ci's surname is Zuo, and the old man Zuo's family is also surnamed Zuo, could it be because of the relationship between them?" Before I could finish speaking, Lao Zuo's voice sounded behind me.

"That's our ancestor." (To be continued.) )
