Chapter 403 Zuo Ci
After finishing his official business, Zhang Wu was ready to return to Xiangyang. On the way, he came to Jinping Mountain in Langzhong, looking for someone.

Jinping Mountain was called Langshan Mountain in ancient times. Because "the flowers and trees are as intricate as brocade, and the two peaks are lined up like a screen", people usually call it Jinping Mountain.The person Zhang Wu is looking for is a strange person, named Master Zixu, who lives on the top of a high mountain.

Venerable Master Zixu is a well-known stranger in Yizhou. His greatest skill is to be able to know the high and low of life, and to predict the good and bad fortune of others.In the original book, after Liu Bei and Liu Zhang turned against each other, Liu Zhang ordered Liu Gui, Zhang Ren, Ling Bao, and Deng Xian to go to Luocheng to defend. The four passed Jinping Mountain and asked Master Zixu about the good or bad of the battle.Master Zixu left eight sentences, predicting Pang Tong's death, and said that the four of them were bound to escape, so there is no need to ask any more.

Zhang Ren was not convinced, and said that Master Zixu is a crazy old man, so there is no need to listen to him. As a result, everything that Master Zixu predicted came true.

This is very awesome. Being able to predict the future has always been the ability of gods. Zhang Wu has no doubts about these supernatural powers, because not only can he call the wind and rain himself, but he also knows that there are other people who can use magic in this world. , such as Zhang Jiao, Yu Ji, Zuo Ci and Gong Chong who was killed by him.

After Zhang Wu heard the rumors about Master Zixu, he wanted to come and take a look to see whether Master Zixu was a god or a magic stick.There should be many strange people like this in this world. As long as they don't come out to oppose him or cause harm to the world, Zhang Wu doesn't want to care about them.

It seems that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the deaths of many important figures are related to these strange people, such as Sun Ce was killed by Yu Ji, Cao Cao was frightened by Zuo Ci, and the root cause of the disease fell.

Zhang Wu also doesn't understand why there are such unreal things in this world. It stands to reason that people like Zhang Jiao and Yu Ji, who know how to use magic, should be invincible. He was also killed by Sun Ce.Zuo Ci could only use some illusions to tease and scare Cao Cao, but he didn't use the ability to "take a person's head with a flying sword" as he boasted to Cao Cao.

Since there were still some illusions and other spells in this world at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and some people could predict some things in the future, then perhaps there were immortal cultivators in the pre-Qin period, but after more than 400 years, they gradually declined.

Jinping Mountain has a beautiful scenery, and Zhang Wu ordered Wei Yan to lead the guards to wait at the foot of the mountain. He, Lu Su, and Lu Xun took only a dozen guards up the mountain to enjoy the scenery.

Although Lu Su and Lu Xun had successively served as governors of Jiangdong in the original book, they were both Confucian generals, who came from noble families and had a long history of family education, and scholars of this era also had a good understanding of Taoist culture.Some literati themselves are Taoists, such as Pang Degong and Sima Hui, etc. Zhuge Liang can also use magic, is proficient in Qimen Dunjia, and can drive away six Ding Liujia.

It's just that Zhang Wu has never seen Zhuge Liang perform these strange spells.

Zhang Wu and others came to the nunnery where Master Zixu lived, but they saw a person sitting in front of the nunnery. Seeing Zhang Wu and others coming, he stood up and saluted: "Poverty pays homage to Marquis Chu."

Zhang Wu was not surprised that the Taoist knew who he was, because these strange people had some supernatural methods.It's just that this Taoist wears a white vine crown and green lazy clothes. He is blind in one eye and lame in one leg. This is different from the image of Master Zixu that Zhang Wu heard about!

So Zhang Wu asked, "Who are you?"

The Taoist said with a smile: "The poor Taoist surname is Zuo, his first name is Ci, his character is Yuan Fang, and his Taoist name is Mr. Wujiao."

Zhang Wu was shocked. It turned out to be Zuo Ci. He came to see Master Zixu. Unexpectedly, he saw Zuo Ci first. What was he doing here?
"You are Zuo Ci? Why are you here? Where is Master Zixu?" Zhang Wu asked again.

Zuo Ci said: "Fellow Zixu wandered away, and the poor Taoist came here exclusively for the Marquis of Chu!"

This guy turned out to be looking for him specially!Zhang Wu also sent someone to find Zuo Ci before, because Zuo Ci was the uncle of Gong Chong who was killed by him at the beginning, and Zhang Wu was afraid that Zuo Ci would cause trouble for him in the future.He knew that Zuo Ci was cultivating in Mount Emei, but he couldn't find it, and he didn't know if it was because Mount Emei was too big to find, or Zuo Ci was hiding from him on purpose.
Now that he took the initiative to appear in front of him, did he also want to use magic to tease him?

"What do you need to see me?" Zhang Wu asked.

Zuo Ci had known for a long time that Zhang Wu had sent someone to look for him, but the reason why he kept avoiding it was because he couldn't see through Zhang Wu, because this person was really too strange, it didn't conform to common sense at all!

Strange people like Zuo Ci are actually very concerned about the general trend of the world, because it is related to the operation of heaven and the luck of the world, but they generally don't participate in it, because they are also afraid of karma.

According to the calculations of Zuo Ci, Master Zixu and others, although the development of the general trend of the world cannot be well known, at least it can be known in general. However, Zhang Wu's sudden rise seems to have suddenly disrupted the original process, making the general trend of the world It has become so confusing that they can no longer count.

They also calculated Zhang Wu's origin and future, but found that they were deceived, and a mysterious force warned them not to calculate things about Zhang Wu, otherwise they would have bad results.

It was not until Cao Cao became king that these people suddenly discovered that the general trend of the world was slowly beginning to become clear, and the world was actually tending to end the war and restore unity.

Also a Taoist cultivator from Yizhou, Zuo Ci came to find Venerable Zixu to talk with him, and agreed that there must be some secrets in Zhang Wu, Marquis of Chu, because according to their calculations, Zhang Wu should have died long ago.Now Zhang Wu not only did not die, but also became the second most powerful prince in the world, the best in martial arts in the world, and had the title of saint at that time.

"Perhaps Heaven cannot bear the endless wars and hardships in the world, so it has made some changes! Zhang Wu may be the variable arranged by Heaven, or he will unify the world." Master Zixu said to Zuo Ci.

Although it is not certain, Master Zi Xu and Zuo Ci both have an intuition that General Zhang will eventually defeat Cao Cao and rule the world.Master Zixu, as a hermit, has always been indifferent to world affairs, even if Zhang Wu can rule the world and open up a new dynasty, it has nothing to do with him.

But besides cultivating Taoism, Zuo Ci also has a heart of preaching.Zuo Ci, Yu Ji and Zhang Jiao are the three successors of Nanhua Laoxian, and they are also the descendants of Taiping Dao.

During Zhang Jiao's preaching, he had a different heart and rebelled. As the old fairy Nanhua said, he was rewarded badly.Yu Ji preached while healing the people, and he was very popular, but he was taboo by Sun Ce, fearing that he would affect his rule, so he killed Yu Ji.

Now there is only Zuo Ci left. He has also learned the lessons of Zhang Jiao and Yu Ji, and has been practicing in seclusion and not caring about world affairs.After 30 years of cultivating Taoism in Mount Emei in Jialing, Xichuan, Zuo Ci achieved great success in Taoism. After he realized that Zhang Wu had the possibility of unifying the world, Zuo Ci wanted to use Zhang Wu's power to preach.
