Chapter Eighty-Eight: Zuo Ci Plays Cao Cao
"What the hell?" Li Xing was puzzled.
Didn't you say that all demons and monsters are superstitions, and the so-called "ghosts" are just the "will" of generals and warlocks, which belong to one of the "four poles", so there is no need to panic?
You Xu Chu, the dignified Huang Guowu Gongqing, what kind of system are you so flustered?
"What the hell is going on?" Zhang Lu, who was reporting to work next to him, also showed a puzzled expression.
He is the third generation of Taoist heavenly masters, the world's "people who know ghosts and gods best", but that's it, and he has never seen a "ghost" in the real sense, let alone a monster, and the cat is the animal he has ever seen, which is the most like a monster.
"This, this matter actually has a little bit to do with Lord Marshal." Xu Chu said.
"Something to do with me?" Li Xing was even more confused.
"Aren't you a friend of Changsha Taishou Sun Ce? Jiangdong is rich in citrus, so Prime Minister Cao Cheng sent an envoy in your name to ask for twenty stones to come back, wanting all the ministers to try it. Xu Chu said.
Hearing this, Li Xing nodded: "There is such a thing." ”
Today's land of Shenzhou is divided into three parts of the world, and the Yanhuang Kingdom has accounted for two of them, and is in an absolute advantage.
Although Sun Ce's side had already taken most of Jingzhou and trained sailors, Cao Cao didn't take it seriously, so he directly asked him for some fruit if he lacked some fruit, and he didn't dare not give it.
Of course, Cao Cao is also a wonderful person, in order to save three points of face for Sun Ce, and to deter Liu Bei, who was tossing in Shuchuan, he asked for the orange in the name of Li Xing as a friend.
And Sun Ce is also nominally a gift to his friend Li Shanshui, not a tribute.
It was nothing, just a trifle.
But the problem is that in the process of transporting the envoy, something happened: an old Taoist priest mixed into the convoy transporting oranges, and he didn't see any movement, but just helped pick a road, and the oranges became lighter.
After being transported to Xuchang City, I peeled it off and saw that it was all empty.
Cao Cao was furious and wanted to punish the envoy.
At this time, the old Taoist priest appeared again: he claimed to be a fellow villager of Cao Cao, surnamed Zuo Mingci, and the Taoist name "Wujiao", and came to Cao Cao's mansion to peel off those oranges, and the result was that every flesh was there, which made everyone shout magically.
"Isn't that good?" Li Xing said.
Hearing this, he already understood that it was "Zuo Ci", one of the three immortals in the late Han Dynasty, who appeared.
In the original work, "Zuo Ci plays Cao Cao" is a very classic plot, that is, his miraculous "spell", which established the name of "Three Immortals in the Late Han Dynasty".
In addition, it is said that Nanhua is the "head of the three immortals in the late Han Dynasty", but it is not.
Zuo Ci is.
As for the more mysterious Nanhua Old Immortal, he was actually pretended to be Zhang Lu when he was a teenager, and at that time, for fun, he stole a copy of the "Tao Sutra" in his home and passed it to Zhang Jiao, a fellow member of the side branch.
As a result, he did not expect it, but because of this, the 400-year-old Han Dynasty was ended, which led to the decades-long war of the Three Kingdoms.
Li Xing only learned about this matter after subduing Zhang Lu.
But Zuo Ci is a very mysterious existence, even if it is Zhang Lu, he is not very clear about his heels, only knows that this is a loose cultivation with a way of cultivation and a "meaning" of the Great Perfection, and does not know good and evil.
In the original book, he teased Cao Cao, although he teased him three times, but he didn't treat Cao Cao well.
Li Xing felt that he was not an enemy, so he didn't care too much.
"However, he didn't just give oranges, but he showed off in the prime minister's mansion, picking dragon liver for a while, taking Songjiang sea bass thousands of miles away for a while, and toasting the prime minister." Xu Chu said: "The prime minister suspected that he was uneasy and wanted to assassinate, so he cut off his head!" ”
Li Xing heard this: "??? ”
This seems to be different from "Zuo Ci plays Cao Cao" in the original book.
"How could Meng De suddenly kill someone?" Zhang Lu asked.
Even if you suspect an assassination, you have to arrest it first, and then kill it after interrogation, right?
Yan Huangguo is not the original Han and will not disregard human life.
"It's Dian Wei, he found that Zuo Ci used 'Yi', which seemed to be confusing the prime minister, so he reminded him, and after arousing the prime minister's vigilance, under his order, I cut down Zuo Ci with one sword." Xu Chu said.
Li Xing: "......"
Could it be that Zuo Ci failed to play Cao Cao, and became "Yi" when he died?
Xu Chu, who is already close to the "peerless", has officially stepped into the "Five Fowl Opera" these days, except for Zhuge Liang's somewhat "super-outlined" existence, even if it is Zhang Lu, he can cut it with one sword.
But the question is, Xu Chu clearly knows the existence of "meaning", how can he be scared like this?
"And what about after the cut?"
"After the corpse was separated, 'Zuo Ci' directly turned into a sheep, and then there was another Zuo Ci in the same place, and if I cut it again, it will still be a sheep...... Now the prime minister's mansion has been bloody, and there are sheep everywhere! Xu Chu said in a panic: "Marshal, didn't you tell us about the 'Heavens and Ten Thousand Races'?" Could it be that a monster from the 'sheep clan' has come in? ”
made Li Xing even more speechless.
Well, the problem is still with myself: I call myself a "god general", so how can I make others believe that there are no ghosts and gods?
But the sheep ...... Why don't you say that you came in with joy?
Simply so!
"It's okay, then Zuo Ci shouldn't be dead, I'll go and see!" Li Xing said and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Actually, he is also quite curious: whether it is "meaning" or what kind of thaumaturgy in the rivers and lakes, it can fool the peerless fierce generals, and scare Xu Chu to shout "monster", and the power is definitely not low.
Very valuable to learn.
After coming to the place, the first thing that caught my eye was an old Taoist priest with kind eyebrows: fairy wind Dao Gu, with a smile on his face, he took Dian Wei in a circle with a whisk of dust.
Cao Cao, on the other hand, stood next to him and kept shouting: "There, there's still a sheep there, hurry up and cut him!" ”
made Li Xing a little unbearable to look at directly.
However, it was determined that this was not a spell, but a simple "illusion", which was cast through "will".
Originally, it was impossible to work on the super-first-class generals, but I don't know why, Zuo Ci's illusion was useful, and Xu Chu, who came with him, even directly blocked in front of Cao Cao, shouting: "Prime Minister, don't blame, I'll resist this sheep!" ”
Li Xing was speechless.
However, after seeing Li Xing, Zuo Ci did not make another attempt, but bowed down and said, "Zuo Ci, a person from the mountains and fields, has seen General Li. ”
This is not the first time he has seen Li Xing, since the decisive battle of Tiger Prison Pass, he has been paying attention to it from near or far.
But so far, it has not been figured out.
Li Xing's fate is incompatible with this world, although he does not believe in the statement of "all heavens and all races", but he also suspects that Li Xing is very likely to really come from "outside the sky".
It is very likely that it is really "the gods descending from heaven".
"No need to be polite." Li Xing asked directly: "How did this happen?" ”
Today, he no longer needs to go around the bend with anyone.
"God will want to know?" Zuo Ci smiled, very polite, but not humble or arrogant: "Poor Dao can solve God's doubts, but God will have to tell Poor Dao first, where do you come from?" ”
