Friends who have read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" must know that there are many immortals in the book. For example, it was mentioned at the beginning that Nanhua Lao Xian (actually Zhuangzi), in addition, there was Yu Ji who was angry with Sun Ce, and Zuo Ci who tossed a cup to tease Cao Cao.
In the book, as soon as Zuo Ci appeared to see Cao Cao, he asked Cao Cao to give up power to Liu Bei, so that Cao Cao said that he was a spy sent by Liu Bei, and asked people to torture Zuo Ci even more. As a result, Zuo Ci actually fell asleep.
Cao Cao asked people not to give Zuo Ci food for seven consecutive days, but Zuo Ci was still fine, and his face was bright red. He said he could eat a thousand sheep a day or go decades without eating.
Next, Cao Cao said that he wanted dragon liver, and Zuo Ci drew a dragon on the wall at that time, took out the dragon liver, and it was drenched in blood;When the weather was cold, Cao Cao wanted to see the peony flowers, Zuo Ci drank water and sprayed on the flowers, and sure enough, the peony flowers bloomed, and they were double-headed peony flowers. Cao Cao wanted Songjiang perch, purple sprout ginger, and Zuo Ci could also get it.
In the end, Zuo Ci even used the doppelganger technique to divide three or four hundred of himself, and after Cao Cao's people cut off their heads, the corpses jumped over with their heads, and all the officials were frightened.
Zuo Ci, the character Yuan Fang, in the history of the real people, "Three Kingdoms" records, he was the late Eastern Han Dynasty Fang Shi, less living in Tianzhu Mountain, studying the art of alchemy. Slowly, people began to say that he was an immortal, and it was already mentioned in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty that Zuo Ci had obtained Shinto and had quite a lot of magic, so many legendary stories about Zuo Ci slowly spread.
Next, I will talk about some legendary stories about Zuo Ci.
After Zuo Ci became an immortal, he meditated and practiced in a stone cave in the mountain, without eating or drinking. When Cao Cao heard about this, he felt that it was magical, so he sent someone to invite Zuo Ci to come. However, Zuo Ci refused to come. So, Cao Cao sent people to guard outside Zuo Ci's stone cave, and called it Zuo Ci **, in fact, he wanted to see if Zuo Ci could really not eat or drink.
Every day, the soldiers guarded outside the cave, Zuo Ci never came out, and there was nothing to eat inside. In this way, a year has passed, Zuo Ci came out, his face was ruddy, his breath was even and powerful, just like a normal person.
The soldier reported to Cao Cao, who felt that Zuo Ci was a side-by-side and thought that Zuo Ci was a monster and wanted to kill him. Cao Cao hasn't sent someone to kill Zuo Ci yet, Zuo Ci has already come. As soon as he saw Cao Cao, he begged Cao Cao to spare his life, and also prayed that he would leave a complete body after his death.
Cao Cao asked, "Why do you say that?"”
Zuo Ci smiled and said, "That's why I said this because you want to kill me." ”
There is no such thing, come on, come on, I invite you to drink. Cao Cao said, and then asked someone to arrange for the wine.
I've come from far away, and I'm really thirsty, but I don't want a glass of wine, I just have half a glass of wine. Zuo Ci said, while holding up a glass of wine, he pulled off the hairpin on his head, then scratched it in the middle of the glass, and then took a sip of wine. A magical scene appeared, the wine of the lacquered ear cup was really divided into two parts, the first half had been drunk, and the back half was still there.
General Cao, you drank half of the remaining wine, right?Zuo Ci said.
Cao Cao didn't dare to drink, only said that he was not good at drinking. Zuo Ci smiled and drank the remaining half of the wine. After drinking, Zuo Ci threw the lacquered ear cup onto the roof. The lacquered ear cup hung in the air, still shaking. In a trance, it was as if the lacquered ear cup had turned into a flying bird, flapping its wings, as if it was about to fly down from a high place. (The lacquer ear cup is oval in shape and has ears on both sides).
Everyone felt that it was magical, and they all raised their heads to stare at the lacquered ear cup. The lacquered ear cup was still shaking, hanging in the air and not falling. It took a long time before it fell to the ground. When Cao Cao and the others looked at Zuo Ci again, they found that Zuo Ci was gone.
This time, Cao Cao wanted to kill Zuo Ci even more. He sent his soldiers to the stone cave where Zuo Ci had practiced before. After Zuo Ci saw the soldiers coming, he floated out directly. Someone outside was herding a flock of sheep, and Zuo Ci walked into the flock and disappeared.
The soldier who pursued Zuo Ci told the sheep herders, and the number of sheep herders counted the sheep, and sure enough, there was one more. The soldiers told the sheep herders to drive all the sheep with him.
At this moment, a big sheep suddenly came to the front, knelt down and said, "Why did you take me?"Are you going to try me or kill me?”
The soldier was shocked and said, "This kneeling sheep must be Zuo Ci, come here, bring this sheep back and hand it over to Prime Minister (Cao) for disposal!"However, before the soldiers could do anything, all the sheep actually knelt down and said the same thing. The sheep herders counted again, and found that the number of sheep was right, no more, no less.
The soldier knew that Zuo Ci had left, so he had to go back to hand in the errand. Cao Cao was unwilling, and on the one hand, he asked people to draw shadow graphics, and on the other hand, he asked the soldiers to continue to arrest Zuo Ci. Cao Cao couldn't catch Zuo Ci, so he began to arrest people indiscriminately, and many innocent people were arrested.
Zuo Ci couldn't stand it anymore, so he put away his spell and showed up to see him. In fact, he could have been incognito and not let Cao Bing catch him, but in order to protect the innocent, he did so. Soon, Zuo Ci was discovered, captured, and sent to prison by Cao Bing.
Cao Cao was a little proud: "Sir, they all say that you are an immortal, why were you caught by me like this?"I think you're only capable of that!Come, torture this guy with me, and see how he pretends to be a ghost. ”
Prime Minister, look, there is another Zuo Ci outside!The soldier said in horror.
Cao Cao was furious and sent people to continue to arrest Zuo Ci. After the soldiers caught up, Zuo Ci in the house was gone, and Zuo Ci outside also disappeared after running for a while.
Cao Cao gave a death order: "Anyone who understands that he is wearing a cyan kudzu scarf and has one eye blind (Zuo Ci is like this, he only has one eye and the other is blind, he is a one-eyed fairy), arrest me." ”
When the five hundred soldiers heard this, they immediately pursued and killed Zuo Ci. They came to a bazaar and were immediately frightened by the people in the bazaar. It turned out that the three or four hundred people in the bazaar were all one-eyed Ge scarves, just like Zuo Ci. The soldiers couldn't tell the difference, so they took all three or four hundred of them back!
Among these people, one of them must be the real Zuo Ci, or they are all the real Zuo Ci, kill them all, I don't believe that he can do witchcraft again!Cao Cao said.
However, after the four hundred Zuo Ci were killed, they were all turned into thatch. Cao Cao was completely convinced, he knew that he couldn't kill Zuo Ci, so he stopped caring about Zuo Ci.
After some time, Zuo Ci went out and came to a place called "Luolong Village". The name of this village is very strange, Zuo Ci was very curious, so he asked the local villagers why they called such a village name and whether there was any story.
The villager said, "It's not that there is a story, but something that really happened." Three years ago, it was raining heavily outside and we were all inside. I heard a boom, as if something had hit the ground. The big guys were curious, and they all went out to look in their robes, and guess what we saw?”
A dragon, a dragon that fell from the sky!Zuo Ci said.
Yes, it was the great dragon, and when it fell to the ground, the ground sank five or six feet deep, and the road struggled in the deep pit. The brave man went to see it, and found that the dragon had no horns, as if it had been sawn off. The dragon struggled in the pit, but could not get out, and for a few days it could move, but after half a month, it could not move. We didn't dare to tell anyone else, lest someone would come to harm Dalong, so the whole village kept it a secret and buried Dalong with earth. Three years had passed, and the grass and trees on the dragon's body had grown taller, and there was no longer a dragon in that place. Everyone slowly told this incident as a story, and that's how the name of Luolong Village came about. ”
The dragon's horns were sawn off?It seems that this dragon has committed a sin in the sky, which is why he was demoted to the heavenly realm. Now, three years later, it's time to go back. Zuo Ci said.
Don't laugh, the dragon has been dead for three years, and the soil on his body is flat, how can he go back?The villager said with a smile.
Zuo Ci asked the dragon buried in **, and the villager said. Zuo Ci walked straight over, and when he arrived at the place where the dragon was buried, he first recited some words, and finally shouted: "Punishment is not tolerated, and the dragon descends from the sky." Three years have passed, and the sky can be seen!Sin Dragon, don't come out at this time, when will you wait?”
Before the villagers could laugh, they saw that the ground suddenly moved, and soon a big dragon came out and soared into the sky. The dragon horns on its forehead have grown.
Zuo Ci went to Wu Land, there was a person surnamed Xu, who also had Taoism, lived in Dantu, and was called Xu Lao Dao. Zuo Ci had heard his name, so he went to visit Xu Laodao.
When he arrived at the door of Xu Laodao's house, Zuo Ci reported his name and explained his intentions. At that time, the guests under Xu Laodao's door were all sitting in ox carts and talking at the door. When they saw the one-eyed Zuo Ci, they looked down on Zuo Ci in their hearts, so they lied to Zuo Ci and said, "Old Dao Xu is not here, you can go quickly." ”
Zuo Ci knew that these people were lying to themselves, so he didn't break it, and went to leave.
After Zuo Ci left, the guests saw that the oxen on the ox cart actually climbed the tree!There were a few people who could climb trees and thought it was magical, so they climbed the trees to find cows. As a result, when I got to the tree, I found that the cow was next to the car again. When they got out of the tree, the ox ran up to the tree again, as if playing hide and seek with people.
A few of the guests were horrified and let the people in the trees urge the ox cart to leave. At this time, thorny vines actually grew from the wheels, and they were dead entangled in the wheels. Several men drew their swords from their waists and slashed at the thorns, but they kept chopping. I want to push the wheels, but I can't.
Now, everyone had no choice, so they hurried to report to Xu Laodao and told the one-eyed old man about his coming.
Xu Laodao was taken aback when he heard this, and scolded the guest and said: "You really shouldn't be, that person is Mr. Zuo, and his Taoism is much more advanced than mine, how can you lie to him?"Go get him back and apologize to your face!”
When Zuo Ci came, the wheels of the ox cart and the ox were really back to normal.
Zuo Ci also went to visit Sun Ce, but Sun Ce, like Cao Cao, was a materialist and did not believe in immortals. Sun Ce pretended to let Zuo Ci go in front and ride his horse behind. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Sun Ce drew his sword and slashed Zuo Ci, but no matter how much he couldn't reach Zuo Ci. Sun Ce knew that Zuo Ci had a spell and had to give up.
Zuo Ci lived for four or five hundred years in the world, and later became an immortal in Huoshan and flew away on a crane.
