A month after the old way of deceitful was arrested, a doorman came to report to Gongsun Kang.

The doorman said, "There is a strange-looking Taoist who calls himself Zuo Ci and wants to meet the Grand Duke. ”

"How strange is the appearance?" Gongsun Kang thought it was strange.

"Squinting, lame, white vine crown, green lazy clothes, wearing wooden shoes." The doorman replied.

"Let him in," Gongsun Kang agreed. This demon Dao, don't go to harm Cao Cao, what are you doing here?

Zuo Ci, the character Yuanfang, the late Eastern Han Dynasty Fangshi, Han nationality, Lujiang (now southwest of Lujiang, Anhui) people. In the history of Taoism, the Taoism of the Danding School in the Eastern Han Dynasty was passed down from him.

After a while, sure enough, a Taoist priest who was blind in one eye, wearing a blue kudzu cloth coat and a kudzu cloth turban, walked into the lobby.

The old Taoist priest arched his hand towards Gongsun Kang, which was considered a salute.

"May I ask the chief what spell he has?" Gongsun Kang asked straight to the point.

Zuo Ci said: "I practiced the Dao Technique of Bitter Cultivation in Tianzhu Mountain, and obtained a copy of the Nine Dan Golden Liquid Sutra in a stone cave. The Book of Heaven is divided into three volumes, the upper volume is named 'Tian Dun', the middle volume is named 'Earth Escape', and the lower volume is called 'Ren Dun'. The sky can soar clouds and cross the wind, and the ascension is too empty; The earth can pass through the mountains and stones; People can travel all over the world, hide their shapes, throw swords and knives, and take people's heads. I heard that the general saw through the charlatans the day before yesterday, and he was very wise. Why don't you follow the poor path and practice in Tianzhu Mountain? It should be taught in three heavenly books. ”

Gongsun Kang still respects Zuo Ci very much, and he does not jump to conclusions about things that he is not familiar with. "I don't know how I can verify the Dao Chief's spell?"

Zuo Ci said: "I learned the magic of making myself change in the Book of Heaven, and I can't remember many spells. I can easily get all the delicacies of the mountains and seas from all over the world. If there is anything owed in the general's mansion, the poor man is willing to take it. ”

Gongsun Kangxin thought it was true and said happily: "The land we live in, I call it the Asian continent; At the edge of this continent is an endless ocean. But on the other side of the ocean, there is also land, which is also a continent. It's called the American continent. There are now some brown-skinned wildlings living on that continent. There are also some flora and fauna that we do not have on this continent.

Among them are three plants, 1 is a potato, 2 is a sweet potato, and 3 is corn. All three are edible plants. If we can get the seeds and grow them on the land of the Han Dynasty, then we can produce 15 stone of grain per mu, which is five times the yield of existing grain per mu. Then the people of the Han Dynasty will no longer have the trouble of hunger.

Now I want to ask Immortal Zuo to take some seeds of these three kinds of food for the sake of the people of the world. ”

Zuo Ci's old face was flushed, the cowhide he bragged just now was too big, he didn't expect Gongsun Kang's vision to be so high. Subconsciously excused himself and said, "General, I haven't seen these three plants. I don't know. ”

"It's okay, I know, I'll draw it for you." Gongsun Kang said that he understood very much, and he was really eager to get potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn.

Gongsun Kang first drew a plant, and introduced it while drawing: "This is a potato, and the tubers under the potato are in the shape of round, egg, oval, etc., with bud eyes. ”

Then he drew a plant: "This is a sweet potato, the root of the sweet potato is fat, the flesh is white, crisp and juicy, and rich in sugar." ”

Finally, there is a painting of corn: "Potatoes and sweet potatoes are edible rhizomes, and corn is edible fruits." Corn is an annual tall herb. The stalks are erect, usually unbranched, 1-4 m high, and the fruit is spherical or oblate, cylindrical, and when mature, it exposes the outside of the stalks and stalks. ”

Zuo Ci pasted Gongsun Kang's painting on the wall, reached out to dig it out, and sure enough, he took out a bunch of sweet potatoes and potatoes. Gongsun Kang stretched out his hand to touch it, and when the electromagnetic power touched it, the sweet potatoes and potatoes dissipated like green smoke.

Gongsun Kang sneered: "This is your spell? What's the difference with the Taoist priest I caught the day before? It's a deception! ”

Zuo Ci was shocked, "Can the general break my illusion?" ”

"Get some real skills!" Gongsun Kang was really angry, and the reason for his anger was disillusionment.

"Ci is these small ways, I guess I can't hide it from the general." Zuo Ci was embarrassed.

Gongsun Kang remembered that Luo Guanzhong described Zuo Ci like this:

On that day, all the officials went to the palace for a feast. In the wine room, Zuo Ci wore wooden shoes and stood in front of the feast. The officials were amazed.

Zuo Ci said: "The king is ready on land and water today, feasting on the ministers, there are many foreign objects in the Quartet, and there is nothing in it, and the poor Dao is willing to take it."

Cao said: "I want dragon liver as soup, can you take it?"

Ci said: "What's so difficult!" Take an ink pen and draw a dragon on the powder wall, and with a flick of the sleeves of the robe, the dragon's belly will open itself. Zuo Ci raised a pair of dragon livers in the dragon's belly, and the blood was still flowing.

If you don't believe it, you said: "You hide it in your sleeve first!"

Ci said: "Even today, it is cold, and the grass and trees are dead; The king wants to spend as much as he wants. ”

Cao said: "I only need peony flowers."

Ci said, "Yi Er." Before the feast, take a large flower pot. Dig it with water. A peony plant was sent out in an instant, and double flowers were opened.

The officials were shocked and invited Ci to sit and eat together. Less carving, the people into the fish. Ci said: "The perch who is in the Songjiang River is beautiful"

Cao said: "Thousands of miles apart, can An take it?"

Ci said: "Why is this difficult!" Teach the fishing rod to come and fish it in the fish pond under the hall. Dozens of large perch were caught in an instant and placed on the temple.

Cao said: "There is this fish in my pond."

Ci said: "Why does the king deceive him? There are only two gills of perch in the world, but Songjiang perch has four gills: this can be distinguished. "The officials regarded it as a four-cheek one.

Ci said: "To cook Songjiang sea bass, you must have purple sprouts and ginger."

Cao said: "Can you take it too?"

Ci said, "Yi Er." Order a golden basin, and cover it with mercy. Suddenly, the purple sprouts and ginger are full of pots, and before entering the exercise.

I took it by hand, and there was a book in the basin, titled "Mengde's New Book". Manipulate it, word for word.

There is also a folk record that says:

Cao Cao ordered the arrest of Zuo Ci, Zuo Ci got into the flock, and the people who pursued him couldn't tell the difference, so they checked the original number of sheep, and sure enough, there was one more, knowing that Zuo Ci had become a sheep.

The pursuer conveyed Cao Cao's meaning, saying that Cao Cao just wanted to see Zuo Ci, and asked Zuo Ci not to be afraid.

Then a great sheep came up and knelt down and said, "Look at me, am you?" ”

The pursuers said to each other: "This kneeling sheep must be Zuo Ci!" "I want to take the sheep away.

But then all the sheep knelt down and said, "Look at me, am you?" ”

In this way, the pursuers really couldn't figure out which sheep was Zuo Ci, so they had to pull it down.

Thinking of Zuo Charity's change techniques, Gongsun Kang said to Zuo Ci: "You have changed into a sheep, I'll take a look." ”

Zuo Ci had no choice but to change into a sheep. Gongsun Kang brought the power of electromagnetism to his eyes, and sure enough, the illusion was broken again. It's just that Zuo Ci is no longer a squinting and limp image this time. is a middle-aged man with neat facial features, with a relatively ordinary appearance and no features.

Gongsun Kang asked him, "Is this your true face?" ”

Zuo Ci replied helplessly: "Yes, I originally wanted to tease the general." I didn't expect the general to have a true eye and see through all my illusions. ”

Gongsun Kang was furious: "You let me learn the Tao with you, and learn these deceptions? "Draw your sword and kill Zuo Ci.

Zuo Ci's illusion, if someone else came to kill him, he couldn't kill it. Only Gongsun Kang can see through his true body.

Zuo Ci also has some martial arts and is physically strong. But it is not as good as Gongsun Kang, and Gongsun Kang's martial arts at this time can already rank in the top three of the Han Dynasty. So he turned around and didn't run a few steps, but he was caught up by Gongsun Kang and put his sword on Zuo Ci's neck.

Zuo Ci is really going to cry, he is so immortal that he will not die to send him to the door, and he will not be played by others.

"General, slow, I still have some spells, I can communicate with the general?"

"Intraventricular surgery?" Gongsun Kang sneered, "Can it be compared to the Dongguan ISO standard?" ”

"Yuan Fang has seen Daoyou again" Zuo Ci straightened his clothes and bowed his hands as a courtesy. "Do you know aura, spiritual power?"

"I know that spiritual power is what the laity think is mana." Gongsun Kang withdrew his sword. "In what capacity is Daoyou seeing me now?"

"The head of the Danding faction has seen Daoyou." Zuo Ci smiled bitterly.

"That is to say, your faction is mainly based on alchemy. But whether it's the outer Dan or the inner Dan, there is no combat effectiveness? Gongsun Kang hit the nail on the head.

"That's right," Zuo Ci smiled bitterly. "If you have combat effectiveness, why are you forced to come here by your fellow Daoists?"

Xi Zhicai and Guan Hairu listened to the book of heaven, they didn't know what they were talking about, their big eyes were staring at each other, and they were at a loss.

"In a few days, I plan to go to Wajima, and I will meet their heavenly gods, and Taoist friends can go with me." Gongsun Kang instructed Zuo Ci.

"I don't dare to ask for ears." Can Zuo Ci say no?

Gongsun Kang instructed his subordinates to arrange a comfortable place for Zuo Dao Chang to serve carefully.

Zuo Ci eliminated the image of a squint and a limp, and appeared in front of people with a relatively normal Taoist image, of course, this is not his real appearance.
