Chapter 854: Three Immortals at the End of the Han Dynasty

Yu Ji.

When he heard this name, Liu Zheng's expression was indeed a little unpleasant.

Not because I was intimidated by the name.

It's this person, who is indeed a more mysterious and controversial figure.

Legend has it that there were three immortals at the end of the Han Dynasty.

One kicked off the Three Kingdoms in troubled times, one cursed Sun Ce to death, and the other played Cao Cao.

It is said that there is an immortal named Nanhua Lao Xian.

He advocates thinking of the Tao and caring for the world, he has a "Taiping Dunjia" immortal art that can change his life against the sky, and in Julu County at the end of the Han Dynasty, he gave the three volumes of spells called "Taiping Yaoshu" that can call the wind and rain to Zhang Jiao, who was picking herbs in the mountains.

Later, on the Quyang Spring Water, more than 100 volumes of "Taiping Qing Lingdao" were obtained by Yu Ji, which was a method for treating people's diseases, and the name was forbidden spells.

And in Mount Emei, he handed over the three volumes of "Dunjia Heavenly Book" to Zuo Ci.

After Zhang Jiao learned the art of Taiping, he launched the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which almost overthrew the rule of the Han Dynasty.

Yu Ji, there are many sectarians in Wu Di, and he is one of the representatives of Huang Lao Dao, but at that time, Sun Ce ruled Wu Di, and Sun Ce thought that under his rule, Wu Di could not have such a bull's nose, so he arrested Yu Ji and killed him.

Yu Ji put a curse before he died, so that after Sun Ce was assassinated by Xu Gong's three menke, he could not be treated, and he lacked skills to return to heaven, and finally died.

And Zuo Ci is another person who has attained the Tao. He was very powerful when he was young, and he once attended Cao Cao's banquet, Cao Cao smiled and looked around at the guests and said, "Today's VIP gathering, the delicacies of the mountains and seas are roughly complete. All that's missing is minced fish made of sea bass in the Songjiang River in Wu Guo. ”

Zuo Ci said: "It's easy to get. So he asked for a brass plate filled with water. Fish with a bamboo pole and bait on a plate. After a while, a sea bass was caught. Cao Cao applauded warmly, and everyone at the banquet was amazed.

Cao Cao said, "One fish cannot be eaten by all the guests at the banquet, but two are good." Zuo Ci fished again, and after a while, he fished out another one, which was more than three feet long like the previous one, and it was very fresh and lovely. Cao Cao himself stepped forward and made it into minced fish and gave it to everyone at the banquet to eat.

Cao Cao said: "Now that I have got sea bass, it is a pity that there is no ginger from Shu as a condiment." Zuo Ci said: "It's also easy. Cao Cao sent him to buy it nearby, and said, "I have sent someone to Shu to buy brocade in the past, you can order someone to tell me to delegate and let him buy more two ends." ”

Zuo Ci left, and came back after a while, got ginger, and said to Cao Cao: "I have seen the man you sent in the shop that sells brocade, and I have ordered him to buy two more ends." ”

Later, more than a year later, the people appointed by Cao Cao came back and bought more two-end brocades. Cao Cao asked him, and he said, "On a certain day in the past month, I met a man in the shop, and he conveyed your order to me. ”

Cao Cao went out to the suburbs to play: there were more than 100 scholars accompanying him. Zuo Ci sent a bottle of wine. A slice of dried meat, pouring the bottle with his own hands, toasting to every official, and there was no one who did not fail to 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. Someone saw him in the bazaar, and when they were about to capture him, the people in the bazaar were exactly the same as Zuo Ci, and they didn't know which one was Zuo Ci.

Of these three people, Liu Zheng has never seen any of them.

Even Zhang Jiao, the closest and most likely immortal to see, Liu Zheng had never seen it.

Because when Zhang Jiao died, Liu Zheng was not a descendant of the Yellow Turban Army, although these things were widely rumored, Liu Zheng maintained a suspicious attitude towards their so-called immortals from beginning to end.

In Liu Zheng's view, they are not immortals, just gods.

It's just a guy who knows how to coax people, and he gathers a stick of believers and starts to do things.

After all, it is not uncommon for later generations to take advantage of the rudiments of religion to subvert the regime. Since ancient times, there have been many of them.

The more famous one is the White Lotus Sect.

So Liu Zheng is still very interested in people like Yu Ji.

"Yuan Zhou, Zhang Min, let's go, let's go over now and see if this Yu Ji is really a living immortal, or a god stick who can only pretend to be a ghost."

Liu Zheng was a little interested in Ji, so he didn't go directly to Yu Ji with great fanfare, but wore ordinary clothes, dressed up in disguise, and went to Wu Di with only a few guards.

His Jianye was originally near Wudi, and it was not far from the Taoist temple of Langya Immortal Palace.

The so-called Langya Immortal Palace, in fact, is just a Taoist temple located on the mountainside, facing the river, you can see the Yangtze River water in the distance, there are several villages under the mountain, and the villagers believe in Yu Ji who lives on this mountain.

Here, Yu Ji seems to be a living local immortal. The villagers in the nearby villages knew him.

When Yuan Zhou took Liu Zheng to the foot of the mountain, he saw some people from other places one after another. They also heard that there is a Langya Immortal Palace here.

It is very effective to pray to the gods, so I want to come and worship one or two.

May the gods bless. Or he is seriously ill and wants to ask the gods in the Taoist temple for help.

For this, superstitious means. Liu Zheng adheres to the idea of distrust, but will not destroy.

After all, they are superstitious means, but sometimes they can also give people a kind of psychological comfort. Plays a role. It's not exactly a cheating.

Follow the stone-paved road all the way up the mountain.

The further you go up the mountain, the more you can see that this Taoist temple is quite famous in the vicinity.

The pedestrians who come and go are all villagers who have come to worship, and these people seem to have a great sense of trust in Ji.

It seems that this Yu Ji is really a living immortal in their mouths, omnipotent.

This aroused Liu Zheng's curiosity even more.

Under the escort of Dian Wei, they quickly walked up the mountainside and came to this Langya Immortal Palace.

A Taoist temple built of red bricks and blue tiles!

It's expensive, and it's not easy to build. I want to build such a place. Money alone requires a lot.

It is difficult for a Taoist priest to build a Taoist temple of such a grand scale.

Although this place is smaller than the imperial palace built by Liu Zheng in Jianye City, it is not much worse.

Such a means of accumulating money also made Liu Zheng breathtaking.

For Yu Ji's gods, Liu Zheng couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
