I have never considered such a profound question since I was born. I didn't expect that I would have such a discussion with such a monster today.

"I was wrong! I was wrong! I was wrong in the first place! What a mistake! I thought that after I had completed my nine rebirths, I would be able to comprehend the Heavenly Dao and become the Lord of the Firmament! ”

"Wrong! I was completely wrong! Even if he successfully completed the nine rebirths, he was just a pawn of the Heavenly Dao, a puppet! ”

"Hey...... Wrong! The direction was completely wrong from the start! ”

"I'm confused! Why has it never been thought about in this direction? ”

The monster threw up its head and sighed a few times, then sat down limply on the ground.

Its ugly head hung down, as if all its spirit had been hollowed out.

"You...... You...... Are you okay? I asked timidly.

Indeed, this conversation with it also turned my heart upside down and was shocked.

"What's your name?" The monster sat on the ground and asked me feebly.

"I ...... My name is Gu Xiaochuan! I replied.

"Gu Xiaochuan! Gu Xiaochuan! Good! What an ancient river! You're good! It's really good! One sentence woke me up as a person who had sunk into the obstacle of sin!! The monster said to me.

Listening to him, I know that this monster is not simple. At least the soul inside this ugly body is a simple figure. According to my previous conversation with him, he also disliked his current body very much.

I suspect that his real body is the man lying in the coffin.

"That...... That senior, you praised it falsely! I...... I've never really thought about those esoteric questions. I'm just talking nonsense! I said curtly.

Judging by the current situation, it seems that he has lost his fighting spirit. It seems that the spiritual pillar that has always supported him has now collapsed. So, it's not too much for me to call him a senior.

"Ogawa, would you like to hear my story?" He asked, looking at me.

I could tell from his eyes that he looked very lonely.

"Of course, if the seniors are willing to say it, the juniors will naturally listen to it!!" I said.

From his current tone, I can conclude that he is no longer aggressive.

He let out a long sigh and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you that the old man has been reincarnated seven times, and this time is the eighth time, and the name I used in my first life is Zuo Ci." Maybe you've heard of it. ”

"Zuo Ci? You said your name was Zuo Ci?? I asked, horrified.

"That's right, don't be surprised, I'm the Zuo Ci you know in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. That's the name I used for the first time in my life!! He said, looking up at me with his ugly head raised.

OMG! This...... This......

For a moment, I was overwhelmed.

He...... He is actually Zuo Ci, and he is actually the famous Zuo Ci.

About Zuo Ci, the story that has been talked about by everyone the most and has been passed down for more than a thousand years is the story about him playing Cao Cao.

According to legend, Zuo Ci is proficient in the Five Classics, knows the middle art of the house, and also knows astrology. One day, he predicted from the stars that the Han Dynasty's qi would run out, the country's fortunes would decline, and the world would be in chaos, so he sighed and said: "In this troubled world, it is more difficult for those with high official positions to protect themselves, and those with more money are more likely to die." Therefore, the glory and wealth of the world must not be coveted! ”

So Zuo Ci began to learn the Tao, and he was also very proficient in "Qimen Dunjia", able to drive ghosts and gods, and conjure delicious food while sitting. Zuo Ci practiced the Dao technique of hard cultivation in Tianzhu Mountain, obtained a copy of the "Nine Dan Golden Liquid Sutra" in a stone cave, and learned the magic that made him change, the Gu Technique, and many spells could not be remembered.

After Cao Cao heard about it at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he summoned Zuo Ci, locked him in a stone house, sent people to monitor him, and did not give him food for a year.

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, where, how could 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 dissolved in the wine, just like the ink dissolved in water when grinding ink.

At the beginning, Cao Cao saw Zuo Ci asking for a "glass of wine", thinking that he would drink half a cup first and then give Zuo Ci the remaining half of his cup, but he didn't expect Zuo Ci to use the hairpin to cut 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.

I've heard about this story since I was a child. And when I grew up, this story was often seen in books, film and television works.

But I really didn't expect that the protagonist of this legendary story was right in front of me at this time.

"Are you really Zuo Ci's senior!?" I still dare to believe it's true.

"Hehe, is it necessary for me to lie to you as a late-born junior?" His tone was full of arrogance at this time.

Hearing him say this, I immediately gossiped: "That...... Is it true that the legend that you played Cao Cao is true? ”

"Hehe, don't talk about those things, that's just a reckless move after I just learned the Daofa!" He chuckled and said.

Oh my God, in this way, he really is the legendary Zuo Ci.

"I think that at the beginning, after I learned the Dao Fa, I felt that I was already standing in a very high position, but as my cultivation became higher and higher, I realized that I was just a frog at the bottom of a well! It wasn't until I got the "Nine Turns of Xuantian Lu" that I realized the vastness of the universe, and for the vastness of the universe, I was just an ant and summer insect in the grass. ”

"So, I began to practice the "Nine Turns of Xuantian Lu", rejuvenating again and again, and reborn after the longevity was exhausted. Originally, I thought that according to what was said in the "Nine Turns of Xuantian Record", after I was reincarnated nine times, I would be able to spy on the Great Dao of Heaven and become the master of this firmament, and then there would be nothing to restrict me, and I could truly be immortal. However, your words today made me understand that what I have been pursuing is nothing more than a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water. Under the Heavenly Dao, we will always be just a chess piece. ”

Listening to his words, I was a little embarrassed and said, "That...... I'm sorry for that senior! I didn't mean to! ”

Zuo Ci shook his head and said, "No! You have nothing to be sorry for me, I should thank you!! ”

Hearing his words, I pursed my mouth and said secretly in my heart: "Life is a life, grass and trees are autumn, is he so tired?" I still want to get a glimpse of what heavenly way! Isn't it okay to live a good life? Why do you want such a mysterious thing!? ”
