Military Advisor Xi, whose full name was Xi Zhicai, was from Yingchuan in Yuzhou. Originally, he wanted to learn from his good friend Guo Jia and visit the world to find a wise leader to follow. However, before he could do so, he met a Daoist Nan Hua who suddenly came to visit him.
Nan Hua said, "The heavens have different destinies and should not return. I am looking for the world's wise men to save the sky. " Only then did he find Zuo Ci, who had the aura of a hero. He gave Zuo Ci several secret refining pills and taught him a Qi Refinement Secret Technique. He also gave him a secret treasure — the Azure Dragon Jade. Then, on the second day, he took Xi Zhicai and left Yuzhou for Jingzhou. In the end, they stayed at Jingzhou's famous scholar Huang Chengyan's place.
However, when they arrived, Xi Zhicai discovered that there were several other people besides him who had been chosen. Moreover, there were a few familiar faces among them.
They were Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and Xun You, who were all from Yingchuan, and Xu Shu, who was a disciple of Master Shui Jing's Sima Hui. Then, the five of them formed a special team and entered the Jingzhou army under Huang Chengyan's contact. They used the secret treasures obtained from Nan Hua and their own wisdom to help the Jingzhou army quell the rebellion within their borders.
Moreover, Huang Chengyan revealed that apart from them, there were other selected talents who were hiding all over the world, waiting for the right time to plot something big.
… …
"Your Majesty."
On this day, when Sei Itō was looking down at something, a girl suddenly called out.
"You're here. Sit," Sei Itō raised his head and smiled. He turned his head and gestured for the girl to sit to the side.
The girl didn't say anything. She walked to the side of the hall with a xylophone in her arms and knelt down on a praying mat. However, at this moment, Sei Itō's voice suddenly sounded.
"Who are you?" Sei Itō's eyes flickered as he asked.
"This subject's daughter is Cai Yan." The person who came was Cai Yan, who was wearing a green robe. She revealed a puzzled expression before bowing her head.
"No, you're not Cai Yan," Sei Itō's killing intent rose as he said indifferently.
"Then who does Your Majesty think this subject's daughter is?" Cai Yan raised her head and looked straight at Sei Itō as she asked softly.
"I don't know who you are. But We know that you will die soon. "Sei Itō slowly raised his hand and pointed at Cai Yan.
Immediately afterward, without waiting for Cai Yan to speak, a bolt of lightning shot out from between his fingers.
"Crack!"
With a flash of lightning, it instantly arrived in front of Cai Yan.
Cai Yan's expression changed slightly, and she quickly threw away the xylophone in her hand. In an instant. A huge wooden wall the size of a door appeared in the middle of the main hall, blocking the incoming lightning bolts.
"Boom!"
Then, the wooden wall disappeared, revealing a thin old man in gray clothes. He had a beard under his chin, and his black and white hair was simply tied up with a wooden hairpin.
This person was none other than a stranger. It was the skinny Daoist who had plotted with Nan Hua outside Hulao Pass.
And this time, he didn't come to see Sei Itō specifically. It was a temporary uprising. Originally, he was going to Liangzhou to look for Ma Teng, the son of Ma Chao and Ma Meng Qi, who had been killed by Ito Seiyu's allied army. Ma Teng wanted him to work with the other selected people to work together on this important matter. To fight against Sei Itō together. Unfortunately, Ma Chao's personality was too proud and aloof. He didn't even bother to pay attention to him. In the end, he had no choice but to give up and prepare to return to Jingzhou.
However, just as he was about to return, rumors about the Emperor of Dahua, Chen Yi, coincidentally entered his ears and piqued his interest. In addition, Liangzhou was very close to Chang 'an, and he had to pass through Sili to return to Jingzhou. Therefore, he decided to pay a visit to Chang 'an along the way to meet this new person who was widely rumored to be an immortal descending into the world by the people.
However, out of caution, the skinny old man didn't directly meet him in person. Instead, after some investigation, he disguised himself as Doctor Cai Yong's daughter, Cai Yan, to meet him. However, to the old man's surprise. The transformation technique that he was proficient in only lasted for a moment before being seen through by the other party. The other party even used a Daoist technique to force his true form out.
"Fellow Daoist, you are indeed an extraordinary person," the skinny old man said.
"Who are you?" Sei Itō asked in a deep voice.
"This humble Daoist is Zuo Ci," the skinny old man replied with a smile.
"You are Zuo Ci?" Sei Itō raised his eyebrows.
"That is this humble Daoist. Fellow Daoist, have you heard of me? "Zuo Ci said in surprise.
He had some reputation in the world, but it was only spread among certain areas and certain people. He never expected that the other party would have heard of him.
"Nan Hua, Zuo Ci, and Yu Ji. The Three Immortals of Eastern Han are well-known to me," Sei Itō said with an inexplicable smile.
Zuo Ci, who didn't understand what Sei Itō was trying to say, frowned and asked, "I see that Fellow Daoist also has a complete Dao. Logically speaking, you should be far away from the world and live in seclusion in the mountains. You should be searching for the Ascension Key and seeking eternal freedom. Why do you reveal yourself in the world and even use your half-immortal body to rob others of their riches … Fellow Daoist, are you not afraid that you will be too deeply involved in karma and ultimately lose everything? "
Sei Itō narrowed his eyes and asked, "Since you say so, I would like to ask, why don't you return to the mountains and forests? Why do you stay in the mortal world and let yourself be tainted by the filthy air?"
After a moment of silence, Zuo Ci replied with a compassionate face, "… The world is in chaos and the people are unable to live. The fertile land is full of pagoda. I can't bear to see it, so I reveal myself in the world and save the people."
"Then why haven't I heard of You saving people?" Sei Itō immediately asked.
"However, a person's strength will eventually be exhausted. Even if I exhaust all my energy, how many people can I save? This is my thought, the one who saves the world should be above all others! Therefore, I walk among the crowd and travel through the cities, hoping to find the Emperor Star Lord and borrow his hand to save the world. "Zuo Ci lowered his eyes and said lightly.
"What You said is the same as that Jianghu Sorcerer. You want to do the Supporting Dragon Court." Sei Itō sneered.
In the official history, although Zuo Ci was a mysterious Daoist from the beginning to the end, from some of the things he did, it didn't rule out that he had other desires in his heart besides the Dao of Immortality.
For example, sometimes he would take the initiative to visit the masters of some big families, some famous people, and even directly visit the leader of a force.
For example, Sun Ce.
Moreover, he was willing to show off his magic to people. For example, when he was captured by Cao Cao, or when he met Liu Biao in Jingzhou … But whether he wanted fame or something else, it was unknown.
Zuo Ci was silent and tacitly agreed.
"What You did was to support the Supporting Dragon Court. What You did was to establish the Supporting Dragon Court. Both are to save the world and return peace to the world. Then why do You make things difficult for Me? "
At the beginning, his voice was calm, but later, Ito Sei slammed his palm on the square table in front of him and smashed it into pieces with a "Pa" sound. At the same time, he stood up and glared at Zuo Ci.
Because the voice was too loud, immediately, a group of Imperial Army from the Tang Empire rushed in from outside the hall. They drew their swords and exuded a biting cold aura.
Zuo Ci slightly turned his eyes. His eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at the Imperial Army.
"Leave." Sei Itō waved his hand and ordered.
"Yes." The Imperial Army responded in unison. Just as they appeared, they neatly retreated outside the hall and disappeared as if they did not exist at all.
"What are you talking about?" Zuo Ci asked in surprise.
"Jingzhou, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xun You, Xu Shu. Don't tell me that the appearance of these people has nothing to do with you. "Sei Itō said coldly.
How could the people of this era guard against and understand the intelligence network formed by ninjas, martial arts masters, and spies who mastered cultivation technology? Moreover, Jingzhou itself did not have a strong sense of confidentiality. Therefore, on the night Sei Itō ordered to investigate the intelligence of those people, matters related to Jingzhou appeared in front of his desk.
Combined with his understanding of history and memories of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it could be said that except for Xu Shu's appearance, if there were no accidents. The others would never appear in Jingzhou at this time!
This was because whether it was in history or in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cheng Yu, Xun You, and Xi Zhicai would not go to Jingzhou at this time. Instead, they should stay in Jizhou or directly in Yingchuan's hometown!
"… Sigh, it's not that I want to obstruct you, but what you're doing is not right. So, for the sake of the people of the world. I have no choice but to do this. " Since he had been exposed, Zuo Ci did not hide it anymore. He sighed and said in a low voice with a compassionate look.
At the same time, he was secretly glad. Fortunately, this person only had information on those five people and did not have information on the other heroes.
"You make it sound nice," Sei Itō sneered. Then, his expression turned cold and he continued in a cold voice, "It seems that I can't let you live."
With that said, he waved one arm, and a strange wave instantly enveloped the entire hall.
Upon sensing this strange power, Zuo Ci's expression changed again and again. Then, he raised his hand and made a hand seal. His lips moved continuously, and he instantly disappeared from Sei Itō's sight.
The Invisibility Technique of Dun Jia.
The so-called Dun Jia's full name was the Heavenly Book of Dun Jia. It was considered a strange book in the Qimen Dun Jia that specialized in the Dun Jia technique. It was the root of all Zuo Ci's spells except for the Jindan Dao method that he cultivated. Judging from the nature of some of the spells recorded in it, it was very similar to the origin of the later Japanese ninjutsu. The source!
"That reminds me." Seeing this, Sei Itō sneered. With a flick of his finger, a bolt of lightning instantly shot toward a corner of the hall.
"Crack!"
Then, with a flash of fire, a burning scarecrow appeared in the hall.
The Substitution Technique of Dun Jia.
Sei Itō's eyes lit up slightly. With a thought, a large number of thunderbolts immediately appeared in the empty hall. Like free elves, they flew freely in the entire hall.
"Crack! Boom!"
A series of fierce roars immediately resounded throughout the entire hall.
But even so, it still couldn't force Zuo Ci's figure out.
Seeing this, Sei Itō frowned slightly. He waved his hand to disperse the thunderbolts all over the room. He released his mental strength and searched the entire hall.
"Using the power of Dun Jia, he escaped from the Qimen Gate with Earth Escape …" After a while, Sei Itō, who withdrew his mental strength, whispered to himself thoughtfully.
Since Zuo Ci knew the spell of Dun Jia, then the formation, positioning, and deduction of the Qimen Gate should also be mastered by Zuo Ci. It was not surprising that he used the power of the Qimen Gate to break the seal, and then escaped with Earth Escape.
What's more, the escape technique recorded in the Heavenly Book of Dun Jia was a real Taoist escape technique. There might be some miraculous ones, so Sei Itō quickly accepted the fact that Zuo Ci escaped.
"Dun Jia Heavenly Book … I almost forgot that there is such a good thing in this chaotic era of the three kingdoms." Ito Sei slowly walked to the door of the hall and looked up at the blue sky outside the hall and whispered softly.
Sei Itō paused for a moment and turned to the hall guard beside him. "Go and call Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Rong, Hua Xiong, Shan Xiongxin, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Guo Si, Li Que, Niu Dan, and Jia Xu."
"Yes." The guard cupped his fists in response and quickly ran away.
"The number of military advisors is still a little small. I wonder if the people I sent to search for Tian Feng, Guo Jia, Lu Su, Zhou Yu, and the others have found them." Sei Itō couldn't help but think to himself as he watched the guard leave. He then turned around and returned to the main seat in the hall.
Ten minutes later, the people who were summoned earlier, either through hypnosis or directly summoned to surrender, arrived in the hall.
"We pay our respects to Your Majesty." Apart from Cao Cao, everyone bowed.
Cao Cao was an exception because he was the only one who wasn't hypnotized and didn't take the initiative to surrender. Sei Itō didn't mind Cao Cao's impudence. After all, he wanted Cao Cao to see the world changing in his hands in a sober manner. He wanted his former subordinates to fight for him. Therefore, he was already mentally prepared for Cao Cao's behavior.
After everyone took their seats, Sei Itō looked at them and said, "This time, I summoned all of you here mainly because I have a few things to arrange."
"Your Majesty, please instruct us." Xu Rong bowed.
"Right now, Ji, Gun, Yu, and Xu have all fallen into my hands. More than half of Yangzhou has also fallen into my hands. In addition to my original Jiao Province, there are five provinces in the world that have submitted to me. Therefore, I feel that it is time to sweep the world and return peace to the universe. "Sei Itō said calmly.
The moment he said that, apart from Cao Cao and Jia Xu, everyone's eyes lit up.
"We are willing to serve Your Majesty like dogs and horses!" Lu Bu loudly said.
"We are willing to serve Your Majesty like dogs and horses!" The other generals also echoed.
"Good. Lu Bu, Li Dian, Cao Ren, listen up!" Sei Itō smiled and suddenly shouted.
"This general is here!" The three stood up and replied.
"The three of you are ordered to lead your troops to Bing Province and help me reclaim Bing Province!" Sei Itō loudly said.
