Chapter 20: Two Big Fools

Zuo Ci remembered Liu Hou's teaching at this time: "We are masters outside the world, how can we be like ordinary people and ordinary people...... so he also pretended to be 13, oh no, pretending to be a master outside the world."

I saw him put one hand behind his back, pinched the law with the other, walked slowly, raised his head at a 45-degree angle, and said in a faint voice: "Poor Dao has just said that this array is only given to those who are destined." Since the little boy is destined, I have already explained the formation to him completely. As for how much he remembers, it all depends on his chance. When his creation arrives, he will naturally be able to comprehend it, and if his creation has not arrived, it is useless to force it. Everything is determined, and the two of them don't need to say much. ”

Zuo Ci tried his best to pretend to be otherworldly, but unfortunately his face was covered with dust, crumpled robes, and unkempt hair made him look nondescript.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang resisted the urge to rush up and beat him, and thought: "Damn, Adou is only 3 years old, you let him remember such a complicated formation change, what kind of chance, you idiot." ”

However, the two of them didn't dare to say anything on their faces, and repeatedly asked Zuo Ci to make an exception to teach, and Liu Bei gave full play to his cheeky nature and stalked Zuo Ci to death. Zuo Ci just refused, and repeatedly emphasized that "this is the will of heaven". It fully demonstrates the true character of the god stick who pushes all uncontrollable things to the "will of heaven".

After inking for a while, they found nothing, and they couldn't think about it, so Liu Bei and the others had to give up this senseless stalking. Instead, he asked about his "earth-shattering thunder". After all, compared to the formation, what can collapse the city wall is obviously more attractive to the heroes who want to conquer the world.

Zuo Ci didn't understand what Liu Bei and the others said about this "earth-shaking thunder" at first. After figuring out that it was Liu Hou who said that he had made a "divine object" that was so powerful that it could collapse the city wall, the expression on his face was wonderful.

Zuo Ci's face began with a blank expression, then doubt, then shock, and finally surprise, so surprised that his face was full of redness, and his heart was like being scratched by a cat, itchy, and he couldn't wait to go to Liu Hou immediately to teach him what "earth-shattering thunder" was.

When Zuo Ci heard that this "earth-shattering thunder" could shatter people and collapse the city wall, his heart turned over and over, "The master is too powerful, make a thing with such a huge power, look at this power, is it the 'Five Thunder Rectification' recorded in Taoist classics?" Could it be that the master wants to teach me the 'Five Thunder Rectification'? That's a spell used by immortals. I am so lucky to follow this master. ”

Zuo Ci's belief in Liu Hou reached an unspeakable level.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were puzzled by the change in Zuo Ci's face.

"Please also ask Zuo Xian Weng to grant this 'earth-shattering thunder' to our army to use, help our army attack the city and plunder the land, expel the Cao thief as soon as possible, and support the Han family." Seeing that Zuo Ci was silent for a long time, Liu Bei bowed deeply and said.

"This thing is very powerful, if it is allowed to wander among the people, I am afraid it will cause misery to the people......" Zuo Ci put on a compassionate demeanor, and pretended to be 13.

Seeing that Zuo Ci was about to take out that set of out-of-the-world masters again, Liu Bei was worried that he would refuse with words such as "providence" and "fate" like he had just said about the formation. So, he also took out his own expertise and began to shake Zuo Ci:

"Since more than 20 years ago, the Yellow Turban thieves have caused chaos in the world, so that the lives are ruined, and the people of the Central Plains are not one out of ten, but unfortunately the Han family is declining, and His Majesty is even more held hostage by Cao thieves. Cao thieves have no way, go around to conquer, provoke wars, and treat human life as grass. I saw that he also raised his head to the sky, and his eyes quickly turned into teary eyes, and Zuo Ci's scalp was numb for a while.

Just as Zuo Ci was about to talk, he saw Liu Bei snatch the conversation again:

"Although I am not talented, but I am also a dignified eight-foot hot-blooded man, I am a relative of the Han family, and in this time of national crisis, I often take it as my responsibility to help the poor and help the country, and to report to the country. For this ideal, I have been running for half my life, seeking from east to west. However, the times are difficult, the Cao thief is powerful, and the people of Li are still living in dire straits, seeing that there is no hope of rescuing His Majesty and revitalizing the Han family. Alas! The sun and the moon are flickering, I am nearly half a hundred years old, and the veteran is coming, and the merit is not ......" (because the author's eloquence is far inferior to Liu Bei, and his thinking cannot keep up with Liu Bei's speed, so 1200 words are omitted here.) ）

Zuo Ci heard that one head and two were big, and thought to himself, "Master always calls me a god stick, I think this Liu Bei has more potential to be a god stick, how can he fool people compared to me?" ”

When I looked up, I saw Liu Bei wiping his tears with his sleeve, swallowing his saliva, and preparing to make a long speech, so he hurriedly intercepted his words:

"This, a scholar from Tianzhu Mountain, is a person from outside the world who doesn't care about the world. Some time ago, I watched the heavens day and night, and learned that the saints descended from heaven and would clean up the rivers and mountains and save all the people. Poor Dao obeyed the mandate of heaven and went down the mountain overnight to find the saint, hoping to assist the saint in achieving his great cause. I look at the little boy, although he is young, but he walks like a tiger, his face is strange, his conversation is extraordinary, and when he grows up, his achievements will be limitless......"

Zuo Ci suddenly remembered that Liu Hou said that he would be punished by God if he leaked the heavens, but he didn't dare to directly say that Liu Hou was the true son of heaven who could rule the world in the future, and only used the sentence "achievements are limitless" to vaguely pass the past. However, although it is not directly stated, the meaning is almost the same.

Liu Bei was very happy when he heard this, he had long heard that Zuo Ci was looking for the true Son of Heaven, and now he finally heard him confirm it in person. What made him happiest was that his biological son turned out to be the man of destiny, although it was not himself, but it was enough to make him excited, and he could at least get a Gaozu Emperor to be the emperor.

"I passed on all his skills, and I also hope that he can grow up as soon as possible. As soon as possible, we will contribute to the world and the people. Well, then I will teach him this method of 'earth-shaking thunder', and as for how much he can learn, it depends on his creation. ”

Zuo Ci always thought that this "earth-shaking thunder" was a spell, so he said that "this 'earth-shaking thunder' method" was taught to Liu Hou. However, he didn't dare to say it to death, because he hadn't fully figured out the situation, in case Liu Hou didn't have any "thunder" there, just casually fooled Liu Bei, then he couldn't get something out of it at that time, and his signboard would be smashed. So he only said that he passed it on to Liu Hou, and if there was really nothing to take out at that time, it was inferred that Liu Hou was young and failed to comprehend the key to subtle spells.

Liu Bei was anxious when he heard this, Nima, this old man, what he always says is that how much he learns depends on creation, creation of your sister, Xiao Adou is only 3 years old, how much can you learn, aren't you a pit person? No, I have to find a way to ensure that this thing is done well, I don't know how many good things are still in the stomach of this dead old man, and these good things must be completely taken out of the stomach of this dead old man, and I can't get half a bucket of water like that formation.

Liu Bei's eyes rolled, and he was in a hurry, and finally thought of something for him:

"I heard Adou say that you have been refining divine weapons recently, and you have a heavy workload, and you urgently need help. I have everyone here, what kind of people do you need to use, what materials to use, just open your mouth, I will let Mi Zizhong (the character of Mi Zhu) try to meet your requirements. "Mi Zhu was originally a rich man, a big businessman, good at financial management, and Liu Bei's logistics minister.

Liu Bei's idea is very simple, I will install a few people by your side, and when you teach Adou, let them watch from the side, and steal your things to learn anything. Adou is still young and can't learn much, but these are adults, and his memory is still worse than that of Adou as a little kid?

Liu Bei secretly made up his mind to carefully select a few people with good cleverness, memory, and understanding to follow Zuo Ci to help work, and let them learn as much as possible from Zuo Ci's skills.

What he didn't know was that Zuo Ci's skills were all learned from Liu Hou. Liu Hou did not intend to keep this knowledge a secret, on the contrary, he hoped to spread the knowledge of science and technology to the greatest extent, and the more people learned it, the better. He hopes that these technologies will become a force for change in society.

Liu Hou's vision is to bring out a group of students, or apprentices, as soon as possible, and then use them as seeds to spread knowledge. Of course, the smarter these seeds are, the better, and the higher the quality, the better. These thoughts in Liu Bei's heart invisibly helped Liu Hou a lot.

Zuo Ci didn't want so many people to join in. First, he is used to the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, and likes to do everything alone, and he really doesn't like to be hindered by someone when he is doing research. Looking at his usual alchemy and experiments, even his own personal disciple Ge Xuan is doing chores outside; Second, he was also afraid that the secret between him and Liu Hou would be revealed.

Zuo Ci repeatedly excused himself, and Liu Bei repeatedly thoughtfully said that he wanted Zuo Ci to take care of his body, and let the people below do those small things and miscellaneous things, and he didn't have to do everything himself. You are a big man, you are the helmsman, just grasp the direction, just be in charge of the command, and let people do the specific affairs for you, so as not to tire you out......

In fact, his subtext is: You hurry up and take out all your skills, teach them to my people, and in the future, whether it is any magic weapon or panacea, hand over the refining method to me, and let my people do it. What should you do in the future, it's nothing to do with you.

To put it bluntly, Zuo Ci has been hiding in the mountains all day long, and he has not seen many monks in the world. It's no problem for him to make alchemy, meditate, convince qi, watch stars and divination, and even perform magic, but he is blind to human sophistication, scheming, and politics. Where could he have thought of Liu Bei's intentions, under the soft grinding and hard bubbles of Liu Bei, the hero of the world, he was quickly defeated, and agreed that Liu Bei would find a few people to come over to "help".

Liu Bei was extremely excited, and hurriedly invited Zuo Ci to a banquet, and said that there were still many things to "ask" from him. Zuo Ci had enough of Liu Bei's "big fool", and hurriedly excused himself to refine the "Divine Weapon" to a critical juncture, and couldn't leave for too long, and then hurriedly returned to the alchemy room. Liu Bei heard that it was about the "Divine Weapon", so he didn't want to be too reluctant to Zuo Ci, so he went.

Zuo Ci returned to the alchemy room, but he was not in the mood to continue the experiment. His heart flew to Liu Hou early, looking forward to when he would come back, so that he could spread his "Five Thunder Rectification". He instructed Ge Xuan to wait at the entrance of the backyard, and as soon as Liu Hou came back, he ran to report it, so that he could go to see Liu Hou as soon as possible.
