Ragnarok is born

Zuo Ci opened and closed his eyes slightly, with a half-smile on his face, he shook his head and said, "The current situation is chaotic, even I can't find out."

"Even if Guan Boy's divination ability is twice as strong, he still can't calculate anything related to Jiangdong."

Guan Ren straightened his face when he heard the words, and agreed, "I see that Jiangdong's earth energy is rising, but it is faintly connected with the void, so I don't know what happened?"

"Once when I wanted to investigate further, I realized that if I forcibly divined, I might even be in danger of falling, so I didn't dare to continue."

Wei Boyang, Zhong Liquan and the fellow Taoists recalled that on the way, Zuo Ci once said that Yu Ji connected his soul with the Jiangdong land vein with a secret method.

They all couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Guan Ren's divination did have its magic. Although it didn't really point to the root cause, it was far beyond what they didn't know to be able to detect the unusual places in Jiangdong.

This is exactly the reason why the art industry has specialization.

Although divination is a small way, it is really unique to be able to understand the big from the small, see the small, detect the secrets, and infer good and bad fortune.

The Pingyuan Guanren in front of him has undoubtedly made his way into the world of divination, reaching an astonishing level, even Zuo Ci knows his name.

Zuo Ci chuckled and sighed, "In order to avoid his own catastrophe, Yu Ji used a secret method to connect himself to the land veins of Jiangdong. The disaster is endless!"

Guan Ren's face turned pale.

Only then did he know why he could see the earth's energy rising in Jiangdong, but when he wanted to find out what happened, he found the reason for the danger.

As one of the "Three Great Immortals in the World", Yu Ji's strength cannot be faked, and he is a genuine "immortal-level" strongman.

At the same time, in Taoism, the "Taiping Qingling Book" was passed down, which is enough to establish a sect. The fate of such a peerless powerhouse is naturally far beyond ordinary people, and he is the most noble one in the world. batch of people.

If he wanted to force divination, the incidents related to Jiangdong would naturally involve Yu Ji.

In this case, there must be many crises, and the spiritual warning was automatically triggered somewhere, which made Guan Ren have to give up halfway.

Perhaps in a few more decades, when Guan Ren's divination technique is perfect and his own skill has reached the state of "Hunyuan Ruyi", there may still be some hope that he can become a real "immortal-level" strong , without backlash.

But the current Guan Ren is just a boy in his early twenties, how can he compare with himself decades later?

At this moment, looking at Zuo Ci whose eyes were blurred and whose aura was boiling like water, Guan Ren's heart was filled with bitterness.

(In the official history, Guan Ren was born in 209, and was only ten years old when Xia Houyuan died in 219. Naturally, it is impossible to tell Cao Cao's fortune. The age and deeds of Guan Ren in this article are all taken from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" .)

Volume 29 Dynasty Warriors Chapter [-]: Xu Shu

From the state revealed by Zuo Ci's body in front of him, one can get a glimpse of the tyranny and inconceivability of the "immortal level" powerhouse.

Guan Ren prides himself on having a pair of divine eyes that can see through the fortunes and auras of all people in the world. With his own superb divination skills, the world is so big that he can see through it at a glance no matter how bizarre everything in the world is.

In fact, after Guan Ren's divination skills were mastered, when he surveyed the world, he spread the name of his arithmetic like a god, known as "magic calculation".

Whether bystanders put anything in an opaque container and let Guan Ren guess; or ask him about any strange signs, Guan Ren just made up a hexagram casually, and he can calculate the cause accurately.

But in the face of Zuo Ci and other "immortal-level" peerless powerhouses, Guan Ren only felt that he was looking at flowers in the fog, looking at the moon in the water, and his divine eyes that can see through everything on weekdays were always covered by a hazy fog. Covered, it is difficult to see each other clearly.

Guan Ren sighed inwardly, his eyes stopped staring at Zuo Ci, and moved to Wei Boyang, Zhong Liquan and other Taoists beside him.

Apart from Wei Boyang and Zhong Liquan's auras are a bit weird, indicating that they may have great fortune in the future, the fortunes and auras of other Taoists, in Guan Ren's eyes, are all clear and unreserved.

After all, this gratifying discovery greatly boosted Guan Ren's confidence. He thought to himself that it wasn't his own incompetence, but Zuo Ci's strength, which was too terrifying.

He thought for a while, and asked Zuo Ci, "Mr. Wu Jiao is coming to Jiangdong this time, is he prepared to fight Immortal Master Yu Ji?"

Zuo Ci

He lightly paused the crutch in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked instead, "What do you think about the situation in Jiangdong?"

Guan Ren was taken aback for a moment, he never thought that Zuo Ci would ask himself this question.

He is neither an official of the imperial court, nor a celebrity who wants to pursue fame and fortune. Although he has heard a little about major events in the world, he has not studied them carefully.

Speaking of it, Guan Ren once studied his own face, and felt that he "has no bones on his forehead, no essence in his eyes, no pillars in his nose, no roots in his feet, no three armors on his back, and no three organs in his belly."

After some investigation, it was not a good sign anyway, so he gave up his pursuit in the officialdom and turned to practicing divination.

That's why, regarding Zuo Ci's question, Guan Ren felt that the other party's question was really out of the way, and didn't want to ask if he could answer it?

He pondered for a moment, remembering the bad omen he saw that Jiangdong's land veins were connected to a certain huge primordial spirit, he couldn't help sighing, "If you don't get rid of Ji, Jiangdong will not be a stable place."

As soon as these words came out, Zuo Ci nodded repeatedly, but Wei Boyang, Zhong Liquan and others all looked sideways, thinking that the tone of the young man Guan Ren was so loud.

As one of the "Three Sanxians in the World", Yu Ji surpassed Guan Ren by many times regardless of his own strength, reputation and power, but in Guan Ren's mouth, Yu Ji seemed to be a dead person.

Everyone remembered that Zuo Ci once said that in the Jiangdong boundary, there was still a hidden immortal in the realm of "Tianzun", and they couldn't help but shook their heads at the same time.

They all felt that Guan Ren's divination skills were so amazing, perhaps he had already noticed something wrong with Jiang Dong from some clues, so he came to such a judgment.

For ascetics in the world, the "Sanxian" is already at the pinnacle and needs everyone's admiration.

But for the "Tianzun", the real descendant of the real immortal, the "Sanxian" is probably just a bigger ant, right?

As soon as this extremely uncomfortable thought appeared in everyone's minds, it was automatically thrown out of their minds and ignored.

Because according to this theory, those cultivators who have not even reached the "Hunyuan as One" state, or even those who have not reached the "Hunyuan as one" state, are just ants that can be easily crushed with a single finger in the eyes of "Sanxian" .

Zuo Ci sensed the dull atmosphere of the crowd and was greatly amused. Just as he was about to start teasing everyone with a few words, he suddenly frowned and turned his gaze to the southeast city gate.

After a while, Wei Boyang and Zhong Liquan also sensed something was wrong, and looked at the southeast gate at the same time.

Unexpectedly, behind Wei Zhong and the others, Guan Ren frowned, noticing an abnormal aura.

He reached out and took out six copper coins from his pocket, murmured something, and then threw the copper coins on the ground casually.

Amid the sound of "thumping", the six copper coins kept turning around on the ground, and finally fell down slowly, forming a hexagram.

"Gua Ci" says: If you walk on the tail of a tiger, you will be prosperous.

Zuo Ci snorted softly, and said in dissatisfaction, "The old man wants to see, where did this tiger come from, and dare to wag its head and tail in front of me?"

All the people present are the best in Taoism, so they naturally know that the upper hexagram of the Lu hexagram is Qian, which means a vigorous king, and the lower hexagram is Ze, which means grace.

It shows that as long as a gentleman can only be strong and steady in interpersonal communication, he can turn bad things into good things and make evil things show a good side, so that no matter how difficult it is, he can get through it safely.

At this moment, there was a sudden bang from the southeast city gate, as if countless people were shouting loudly at the same time.

Everyone is a master with profound skills, and can even detect the short and short screams amidst the shouts.

There are also the sounds of horses running, bowstrings cracking, arrow blades piercing through the air, and weapons handing over, forming a scene of extremely tragic fighting on the battlefield one after another.

Zuo Ci looked at the diners in the inn who had finally sensed something was wrong, and said with a chuckle, "Although Sun Ce is very young, he captured Jiangdong easily, but it seems that he has not fully controlled the situation in Jiangdong."

"Otherwise, why is there still fighting in Jiujiang County, which is clearly one of the six Jiangdong counties?"

Among the dazed and bewildered diners, a resolute young scholar in a gorgeous gown couldn't help asking, "What the Taoist said is wrong. Sun Ce just broke through the city of Wan, and it hasn't been long. .”

"During this period of time, no matter where in the six counties of Jiangdong, a war broke out, it is very common."

Zuo Ci took a careful look at the other party, and said with a smile, "So it's Xu Fu, you brat, what are you doing here if you don't go to the East China Sea to look for fairy mountains?"

When everyone heard the name "Xu Fu", they shuddered at the same time.

In pursuit of immortality, Qin Shihuang sent alchemist Xu Fu to lead three thousand boys and girls across the sea to find the three fairy mountains of Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou.

Now hearing Zuo Cidao's name of the young scholar, even Wei Boyang and Zhong Liquan were surprised and looked at the young scholar at the same time.

It has been more than 400 years since Qin Shihuang to the present, but this alchemist who left a great name in history still looks like a young man, and he shows no signs of aging at all.

Could it be that the other party has already cultivated into a "true immortal"?

But in the perception of everyone, although the young man in front of him has martial arts, his aura is not very strong, at most it is second or third rate.

Everyone couldn't help but have doubts in their hearts. How could such a superficial skill survive the long time of more than 400 years?

Unexpectedly, the other party spat, waved his hands in a bad mood, and said in a resentful tone, "I'm not Xu Shi under Zulong's command, what kind of fairy mountain are you looking for?"

Xu Fu is the name of the alchemist sent by Qin Shihuang in "Historical Records: Biography of Hengshan in Huainan", but in "Historical Records: The Chronicle of Qin Shihuang", this person is also called Xu Shi.

The reason why the other party said this was obviously denying that he was the alchemist who was looking for the fairy mountain, but had another identity.

Zuo Ci laughed, pointed at the young scholar, and introduced to everyone, "This little fellow was originally a scholar from Yingchuan, but in order to avenge others, he painted his face with powder and killed someone with a sword in the downtown. "

"In the end, he was rescued by a friend, so he was able to escape his life, but since then he has been living in the rivers and lakes, and once had a relationship with the old Taoist."

Hearing what Zuo Ci said, everyone knew that the other party was really not the great alchemist "Xu Fu" who searched for the fairy mountain for Qin Shihuang, but an ordinary scholar.

Only Guan Ren silently glanced at Xu Fu's whole body, far exceeding the luck of ordinary people, bent down to pick up the copper coins on the ground, and put them back in his arms.

Xu Fu curled his lips lightly, and said in a muffled voice, "I have changed my name to Xu Shu now, and I am studying with two teachers, Pang Degong and Sima Hui, in Jingzhou College."

Hearing the names of Mr. Pound and Sima Hui, even the terrified diners in the inn couldn't help turning their heads to look at Xu Shu (Xu Fu).

The names of Mr. Pang De and Sima Hui, no matter in Jingzhou or Yangzhou, are extremely resounding, and they are well-known celebrities among women and children.

But contrary to ordinary celebrities, these two people were not obsessed with official careers, but became hermits wholeheartedly.

But this did not affect the reputation of the two at all. On the contrary, because they are elegant, knowledgeable, and wise, they are even more supported by everyone.

The scholars in Jingzhou were all proud of being able to get a comment from Pang De and Sima Hui.

After Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou and quelled the tyrannical rebellion, he teamed up with many great Confucians in Jingzhou and founded Jingzhou College for scholars to study.

When Pang De and Sima Hui were in a good mood, they would occasionally enter Jingzhou College to give lectures to scholars.

A diner in the inn heard Xu Shu's words and shouted loudly, "Could it be that you are also a student of Jingzhou College?"

Xu Shu nodded, and replied, "Naturally, this time I came to Jiujiang County to visit friends, who would have thought that such a disaster would happen?"

There was a sudden commotion in the inn, and he asked Xu Shu, "Can your lord tell us what the disaster is?"

Xu Shu stretched out his hand and pointed to the southeast, and said in a deep voice, "Since Sun Ce captured Wancheng, he sent troops to Liyang to drive away Yan Xiang, the governor of Yangzhou."

"Now all the people in Liyang County have encountered such unprovoked accidents."

Zuo Ci nodded lightly, Zhong Liquan, Wei Boyang and the others also knew that the sound of fighting coming from the southeast was actually such a thing.

Volume 30 Dynasty Warriors Chapter [-]: Yan Xiang

Yan Xiangzi, Wenze, was born in Jingzhao, Sizhou (now Xi'an, Shaanxi).

Wen is a relatively common character in the Three Kingdoms period. For example, Yu Jin, who is known as the first of the "Five Sons of Good Generals", has the same character Wen Ze.

There is also Wu Fan, who is good at calculating astronomical solar terms and observing the climate, among the very famous "Eight Wonders of Wuzhong" in the folk area of ​​Jiangdong.

If Yan Xiang, Yu Jin, and Wu Fan happened to meet together, and someone called out "Wen Ze" suddenly, the three in custody would all turn their heads to look at him, and they would say yes in unison.

Because no matter which one of the three of them is, they will feel that the guy who said hello must be saying hello to himself.

After Xun Yu joined Cao Cao's tent, he recommended a series of talents to Cao Cao, including but not limited to Zhong Yao, Xun You, Chen Qun, Du Xi, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Sima Yi, Yan Xiang, Wei Kang, Du Ji, etc. Wait for everyone.

Yan Xiangshao is intelligent, courageous and wise.

At the beginning of Jian'an, Yan Xiang was promoted to worship Shang Shulang with his high talent, both civil and military.

Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, and was defeated by Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei, either jointly or alone, after a round of rounds, his strength dropped to the lowest point, and he became another prince who was squeezed out of the finals.

So Cao Cao led his army back to Xuchang, leaving behind Yan Xiang as Yushi Zhongcheng, who also served as the governor to Yangzhou to crusade against Yuan Shu.

Later, Yuan Shu was defeated by Liu Bei. He wanted to go north to seek refuge with Yuan Shao, whom he had always looked down upon, but died of illness on the way.

So Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to express Yan Xiang as the governor of Yangzhou.

Since Dong Zhuo's chaos, heroes from all over the world have sprung up, the imperial court did not leave the capital, and the princes recognized themselves as officials in various states.

Take Yangzhou as an example. In just ten years, Chen Wen, Liu Yao, Yuan Shu, Hui Qu, Yan Xiang and others have served as the governor of Yangzhou.

Among these people, Chen Wen, Liu Yao, and Yan Xiang served in the name of the imperial court; while Yuan Shu and Hui Qu were appointed by Yuan Shu himself.

This shows that the situation in the world is chaotic, and the imperial court's control over the local area has long since become extremely small.

Now because of Yuan Shu's death, Yan Xiang had been governor of Yangzhou for less than half a year, and Sun Ce sent Li Shu to attack again.

Xu Shu showed a bit of resentment on his face, and said gloomily, "Sun Ce's troops have been in the wrong direction for the past few years, and they have captured most of Jiangdong in a short period of time."

"So he regarded Jiangdong as the world of his grandson's family. Naturally, he couldn't tolerate it. Yan Xiang, the governor of Yangzhou sent by the imperial court."

After hearing what Xu Shu said, the diners in the inn all sighed and sighed with emotion.

These travelers who traveled all over the world naturally knew very well that the hidden meaning in Xu Shu's words was nothing more than the fact that the princes no longer obeyed or even resisted the imperial court when they became bigger.

Sun Ce sent Li Shu to attack Yan Xiang, which is just one example.

Everyone looked outside the inn anxiously, as if the street tiger had swept past, and the long street became empty, they felt uneasy.

Someone couldn't help raising their voices and asked Xu Shudao, "Sir, in your opinion, who can win the final victory between Yan Xiang and Li Shu?"

Xu Shu was startled, looked at the person who spoke quietly, shook his head and sighed, "Although Yan Xiang is called the governor of Yangzhou, he has neither elite soldiers nor incompetent generals."

"On the other hand, Li Shu's side, with the support of the little overlord Sun Ce, must be leading elite soldiers who have been on the battlefield before."
