In ancient times, not to mention the general of Shu, even Liu Chan or Liu Bei would not be known by many people. So Jiang Wei felt very strange, who was the person in front of him, and how did he know himself.

The old man laughed out loud when he heard this, and did not answer Jiang Wei's question, but said unhurriedly: "The general can be described as both wise and brave, and his vision is broad, but why can't he see that the Han family has exhausted all the energy?" ”

Since the death of Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wei inherited the will of Marquis Wu, and started the first Northern Expedition with Jiang Wan in 238 AD. At that time, Zhuge Liang's strategy was to attack and defend, Wei was much stronger than Shu in terms of human and financial resources, if he sat still, Wei would definitely attack Shu, once Wei took the initiative to attack, I am afraid that Shu would not last long.

And when Jiang Wei attacked Di Dao the year before, although he lost his troops and lost his generals, and finally failed, at least he saw hope. So when Jiang Wei heard the old man say this, he asked angrily: "Who are you, why are you here to confuse the public, if it weren't for your old age, your head would have been cut off today." ”

The old man didn't get angry when he heard this, but laughed and said: "The old man's surname is Zuo Mingci, and the character is released." Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, it turned out that this person turned out to be Zuo Ci.

Zuo Ci was a native of Lujiang County and a scholar in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The so-called alchemists are those who claim to be able to refine the elixir in order to achieve immortality. Immortality has always been a legend, and I have never heard of anyone who is immortal. However, it is said that Zuo Ci actually lived to be 134 years old, in ancient times, people's life expectancy was shorter than now, and if you can live to be seventy or eighty years old, you will have a long life.

As for whether Zuo Ci's lifespan is true or false, there is no way to verify. But no matter what, as the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, even if he doesn't live to be more than a hundred years old, he must be nearly 100 years old. According to records, Zuo Ci was born in 156 AD, and at this time he met Jiang Wei in 256 AD, which means that Zuo Ci was already more than 100 years old at this time.

During the Three Kingdoms period, whether in the wild history or some folklore, there were many legendary deeds about Zuo Ci. For example, Zuo Ci played Cao Cao, Zuo Ci worshiped Xu Cheng, and the story of "rewarding" Liu Biaoqianjun and so on, there are countless of them.

However, in that era, people like Cao Cao had a strong defensive psychology against people like Zuo Ci, and the first thing they thought of when they met similar people was to kill him, including Sun Ce's killing of Yu Ji back then, but Yu Ji was indeed killed by Sun Ce back then, but Zuo Ci could easily escape every time.

However, at that time, not everyone was disgusted with people like Zuo Ci. In addition to some low-level ordinary people who treat them as immortals, even some high-ranking emperors have a soft spot for them, and they all hope that they can refine their own elixir in order to live forever.

At this time, as soon as Jiang Wei heard that the person in front of him was Zuo Ci, he was even more angry, and pointed at Zuo Ci and said: "Don't talk nonsense here, I have also heard a little about Your Excellency's deeds." Wei really didn't dare to go with your excellency and took his leave. With that, Jiang Wei and his men were about to leave.

At this time, Zuo Ci hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said: "I read the name of General I and persuade me kindly." The general doesn't appreciate it. Speaking of this, I saw Zuo Ci take out a piece of red jade carved vermilion bird from his arms, the quality of this jade looks extremely beautiful, and when you look at it, it is crystal clear, as if you can see inside.

Zuo Ci stuffed this piece of jade into Jiang Wei's hand, pointed to the place where Fei was buried and said: "General Fei unfortunately died in battle, and his ghost is still gone, and he still leads the Yin soldiers, and wants to do his best for the Shu Kingdom." As everyone knows, Yin and Yang are separated, and Yin soldiers are extremely yin, and they often have something to do with the surrounding people. Although the Yin Soldier has never killed a person, in the long run, he is afraid that he will cause trouble. ”

Speaking of this, Zuo Ci pointed to the piece of fire jade in Jiang Wei's hand and said, "This is a piece of Vermilion Bird Token that I have carried with me for many years, which can drive away yin and ward off evil spirits." Burying this Vermilion Bird Token with General Fei can calm their resentment, so that there will be no more things like Yin soldiers borrowing the way. ”

Although Zuo Ci said so much in one breath, and his attitude was also very sincere, Jiang Wei didn't listen to it at all, he only felt that the Vermilion Bird Token in his hand was a little hot, and he thought to himself, Zuo Ci is a well-known demon, and he will only make some evil and crooked illusions to deceive people's hearts, thinking of this, Jiang Wei stuffed the Vermilion Bird Token back into Zuo Ci's hand and left.

Seeing this, Zuo Ci shouted from behind: "The general has a lot of luck in this trip, you must be careful......" Jiang Wei left without looking back as if he hadn't heard it.

Besides, Jiang Wei took a few of his men and rode fast horses back to the previous camp, and then continued to advance with the army.

It is said that on the way to the march, Jiang Wei felt a fever in his arms as he walked, and he didn't think too much about it at first, but then this feeling became stronger and stronger, Jiang Wei subconsciously put his hand into his arms, and it didn't matter if he touched it, he took out the Vermilion Bird token from his arms.

Jiang Wei thought to himself, this must be the demon Dao who took advantage of his inattention and stuffed the Vermilion Bird token into his arms. It is normal for the demon Dao to be able to use this kind of trick without being discovered, thinking of this, Jiang Wei casually threw the Vermilion Bird Token to the side of the road and continued to move forward.

However, this time Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition was really unfavorable, and Jiang Wei and the Zhenxi general Hu Ji agreed to meet at Shangqi (now Tianshui, Gansu). Then he planned to lead his troops to attack Qishan, but he heard that the Wei general Deng Ai had already prepared, and Jiang Wei also knew that Deng Ai was not easy to deal with, so he wanted to change his route. From Dongting (in present-day southern Wushan, Gansu Province), he attacked Nan'an (in the southeast of present-day Longxi, Gansu). Unexpectedly, Deng Ai actually seized Wucheng Mountain (now southwest of Wushan, Gansu Province) and refused to defend it.

Jiang Wei saw that the geographical advantage had been lost, even if it was useless to attack hard, and advanced eastward overnight, marched along the mountains to Shangqi, and fought with the Wei army in Duangu, but because Hu Ji did not arrive on time, the Shu army was defeated, the soldiers were scattered, and the casualties were heavy. Because of this defeat, not only the people complained, but even the places west of Longshan took the opportunity to riot.

This made Jiang Wei very self-reproachful, but on the way to retreat, Jiang Wei inadvertently felt a feeling of heat in his arms again, and then touched it with his hand, and it turned out to be the Suzaku token. If he had been another person at that time, he would probably hate Zuo Ci even more, and he would definitely feel that this defeat was because of the bad luck brought by Zuo Ci.

At this time, Jiang Wei suddenly felt that Zuo Ci was really not simple, this time Jiang Wei did not throw away the Vermilion Bird token, but led the army all the way to Beilongpo, came to the place where Fei was buried and put the Vermilion Bird token there, and then asked someone to set up a stone tablet here, which was engraved with the words "General Ridge", and from then on, this place was called General Ridge. Later, Jiang Wei waited in Jiangjunling for two days, but he couldn't see Zuo Ci again. Since the fight, there has really been no more Yin soldiers borrowing the road in Jiangjunling.

After Jiang Wei returned to Chengdu, after reporting Fei Zhi's affairs to the later master, the later lord Liu Chan was also quite moved when he heard it, and specially posthumously named Fei Zhi as the general of the underworld, and the soldiers who died with him were collectively referred to as the underworld. Jiang Wei told Fei Zhi's family about this, and Fei Zhi's family was sad, hoping to move his family to Jiangjunling and settle there, and later the Fei family moved to the current Beigang Village.

At this point, turning the topic back to the ancient tomb, Liu Guanqun's understanding of the Fei family at this time was of course not so detailed, he just heard Ding Quan say that Fei Zhi, the general of Shu who was buried in the General Ridge, was the ancestor of the village chief, and the Suzaku token had a great relationship with the village chief.

Besides, when Liu Guanqun heard the village chief's question, he also knew in his heart that if he said too much, he would inevitably leak flaws, so he pretended to be confident and said: "I know far more than you think, the only way for you to leave this ancient tomb alive now is for you to tell me where Jiangjunling is." ”

Liu Guanqun is certainly very smart, but this ginger is still old and spicy, and the village chief was not only not intimidated by Liu Guanqun's words, but became more calm. Liu Guanqun and the others had taken Ding Quan to Beigang Village to find themselves before, as almost everyone in Beigang Village knew where General Ridge was, since Ding Quan had already told Liu Guanqun that General Ridge was related to him, he must have also told him where General Ridge was. In this case, he came to ask himself where Jiangjunling was, and there was only one possibility, that is, he must have been to Jiangjunling, but he didn't find a place to bury Feizhi.

Thinking of this, the village chief knew in his heart, because he knew that even if Liu Guanqun arrived at General Ridge, it would be difficult to find the place where Fei Zhi was buried.

It turned out that after Fei Zhi's family moved to Jiangjunling, they had to pay homage to Fei Zhi several times a year. It is said that once, when the family went to worship Fei Zhi, I don't know where an old man came from, and this old man was Zuo Ci. Zuo Ci told the Fei family about the Vermilion Bird token, and instructed that this token could absorb their grievances, and when all the grievances were absorbed, they could take this token away.

However, this time is very long, even hundreds of years, I can't wait for that day, I hope that the Fei family will pass on this matter to future generations, and when I find an auspicious bird flying here in the clouds, that is the time to take the token.

The Fei family was skeptical when they heard it at the time, but every time they worshiped Fei Zhi, they would find that there were occasional flashes of red light in the "tomb", but they didn't know what the reason was, after all, the dead were big, and no one dared to go in to check it, so they thought it was Fei Zhi's appearance in the spirit of the sky. Because Jiang Wei didn't tell the Fei family about this back then.

After Zuo Ci left, the Fei family passed on the matter of Fei Zhi and the Vermilion Bird Token from generation to generation according to Zuo Ci's entrustment. Nearly 300 years later, the children and grandchildren of the Fei family still live in this village, waiting for the auspicious bird mentioned by the ancestors, as for what this auspicious bird looks like, no one knows.

That year, the people in the village were still busy with their own lives as usual, but the originally peaceful village was shattered by a sudden vision.

That morning, suddenly felt that the day was darker, everyone hurriedly put down the work in their hands and looked at the sky, only to see that the sky did not know when there was a colorful auspicious cloud, the auspicious cloud covered the entire sun, and then saw that the auspicious cloud slowly drifted in the direction of the general ridge, with a long roar, these people were stunned, and found that there was something on the auspicious cloud.
