An old man with white beard and white hair walked out of the inner room, but his spirit seemed to be extremely hale and hearty. It was Xu Shao, the famous troll from the Three Kingdoms who also had dealings with Fang Linyan back then.
He squinted his eyes and looked outside the door, his eyes seeming to penetrate the barrier and cast directly into the future. The needle pattern between his eyebrows moved slightly, and after a while he said:
"What should come will naturally come."
Deng Laoshi suddenly became anxious:
"????"
"Master Xu! This matter is the long-cherished wish of the eldest lady in her life. Can you please give me some accurate information?"
Xu Shao smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"I said ten years ago that there is a kind of people in the world called life-destroying people. Their fates are cut off from the five elements. They are detached from their fates. They can reverse their fortunes and turn the world upside down. This is what I have studied all my life. Plum blossoms are easy to count, but it makes no sense to them."
"What's more, if I force the calculation, I will suffer strong backlash. When I was fifty-three years old, I was ill for a full year and a half, and the root of it is here."
"So, I can only judge his next move by observing his words. What I can only confirm at the moment is that this Fang Yan is a very independent person. Once he is willing to help, then we will definitely save Guan Yu. Try your best, otherwise the previous friendship will be gone and the two sides will become mortal enemies!"
Deng Laoshi gritted his teeth and said:
"If it really doesn't work, then we can go alone! It doesn't matter if we don't have foreign aid, didn't you say that? We still have a 30% chance!"
Xu Shao sighed and shook his head:
"What I called a 30% chance at that time was under normal circumstances. I didn't know the situation on the Lu family's side at all!"
"It's not like you didn't get the flying pigeon letter that third brother sent over in the morning. It clearly states that among the guards, there are even a dozen strong men who have retired from the Sheliu Camp!"
"What's more, you are plotting against Lu Xun. He has great luck! And he has just started to make a fortune. I took a closer look and found that his luck is golden with a hint of red. It is not inferior to Lu Meng in the slightest. "
"What's more important is that Lu Meng's luck is full of blood, and the main path has collapsed, while Lu Xun is protected by the remaining shadow of his family. This great luck can last for at least twenty years!"
"When you go against people like this, you don't have a 30% chance, you don't even have a 50% chance! Only when a person like Fang Yan, who is not involved in the secrets of heaven and confuses yin and yang, joins in, can there be any possibility of success."
At this time, a cold voice came from the ancient well in the courtyard next to it:
"Don't worry, he will come back."
After hearing this, Deng Laoshi was immediately surprised and said:
"Miss!?"
Then when he turned around, he saw Zhang Zhi rising from the ancient well, and then slowly walking out.
Xu Shao frowned and said:
"This water body consumes a lot of internal energy. Can you use it less or not?"
Sure enough, after Xu Shao said this, he could see that Zhang Zhi still looked like a human at first sight, but after a closer look, he looked more like a statue, except that the surface was covered with a layer of water.
This was obviously a clone. After hearing Xu Shao's advice, she said calmly:
"This is a big matter. It involves the ownership of the last heavenly book. Not to mention that it has hurt a little bit of my vitality. Even if it costs me my life, I am still determined to win it."
***
After Fang Linyan left Zhuangzi, he had been thinking about the matter of people escaping from books, and suddenly he had a clear understanding in his heart:
"Yes, the battle that made Lu Xun famous was the burning of the camp for 800 miles, causing Liu Xuande's soul to die in Baidi City, and completely destroying Shu's ambition for hegemony in one fell swoop!"
"And the book of human escape is of fire nature and can easily burn the surrounding areas (refer to the Three Kingdoms War Prostitutes Edition 119 here). Could it be that in history, Lu Xun relied on the power of the book of human escape to achieve such a glorious achievement?"
While he was thinking about it, he returned to Zhang Guo. Zhang Guo obviously didn't expect that Fang Linyan would come back in such a short period of time. He was woken up while he was still sleeping, and said drowsily:
"I've come back again, what's the matter?"
Fang Linyan smiled and said:
"I wonder what the Taoist priest thinks of the great sage master of the past?"
When this topic came up, Zhang Guo suddenly became serious, and then said seriously:
"Does this need to be said? The great virtuous master was not only profound in Taoism, he was also able to act against the will of heaven, shaking the fate of the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop. Several heavenly masters even carefully deduced that the great virtuous master did not die of illness that day.
Instead, he used the killing power of the world of mortals to disintegrate his corpse and turn into an immortal. He is indeed a leader among our generation and will definitely leave his name in history."
Fang Linyan stared at Zhang Guo and said:
"This time Master Qingjing (Zhang Zhi) came to me to find out the ownership of the most important treasure that the great virtuous master said he had during his lifetime! There might be a secret about the great virtuous master's ascension to immortality hidden in it."
Zhang Guo's breathing became rapid, but the old man's mouth was still very hard:
"The most important treasure that the great virtuous teacher had during his lifetime should also be something belonging to the pure master."
Fang Linyan laughed and said:
"This makes sense, so I'll just say it. However, this treasure of the Great Sage Master was lost in the hands of others. If anyone can help Master Qingjing get it back, then I can keep it in my hands to study it.
After ten years, I guess no one can say anything, right?"
After hearing this, Zhang Guo was silent for a while and said:
"Tell me, you said so many things to me, you must want to make a deal with me. What do you want?"
Fang Linyan looked at Zhang Guo and said seriously:
"I want to know the whereabouts of a person! I have been asking around for a long time recently, and I found out that there is no news about this person. He seems to have disappeared from the world. I heard that Longhu Mountain has a master of Wen Wang's divination. It can be said that he is always successful.
I wonder if the real person is available?”
Zhang Guo pondered for a moment and said:
"Who are you looking for?"
Fang Linyan said:
"Liao Hua! Born in the wilderness of the Yellow Turban, he is now the leader of the former general Guan Yu's tent, Liao Hua!"
Historically, Liao Hua was captured after the death of Guan Yu. He first pretended to surrender to Sun Wu, and then used the trick of cheating his death to return to Shu. Compared with Zhou Cang and others who were also born in the Yellow Turban, his strategy and resourcefulness were
Obviously much stronger.
Not only that, Liao Hua himself also played a major role in the late Three Kingdoms period when famous generals were withering away, and he was an important general in the late Shu Han period.
More importantly, Fang Linyan and Liao Hua were friends! So, of course, Fang Linyan wanted to find out his whereabouts at this time.
Zhang Guodao:
"This man is an important general of the Shu Kingdom. If you want to predict his whereabouts, it goes against heaven's will. I will pay a heavy price."
Fang Linyan smiled lightly and said three words simply:
"The Book of Human Escape."
Zhang Guo took a deep breath:
"The Human Escape Book? The Human Escape Book among the three volumes of the Heavenly Book?"
Fang Linyan nodded.
Zhang Guo said in disbelief:
"Among the three volumes of the Heavenly Book, it is said that the Book of Human Escape disappeared immediately after the death of the great virtuous master. Some people say that it recorded the art of becoming an immortal in the human world and the magic of breaking the mystery in the womb, so it was directly taken back by the immortal."
"Some people say that when a person escapes from a book, it is the main source of fire and killing. The person who got it does not know the secrets and acts randomly, so it triggers the internal fire, and the person and the book are burned together! Are you sure it is still in the world?"
Fang Linyan answered the question differently:
"Liao Hua is under Guan Yu at this time and is not of any importance. How can he be regarded as an important general of Shu?"
Then he shut his mouth and refused to say another word.
Zhang Guo sighed. He actually found that he was being manipulated in front of this young boy! But facing the temptation of Rendushi Shu, Zhang Guo really couldn't resist. He knew that he was not qualified enough and had no chance of becoming an immortal.
vague.
However, just the magic spells recorded in the Human Escape Book to break the mystery of the womb can prevent people from forgetting the memories of their previous lives when they are reincarnated. This is equivalent to being immune to Meng Po Tang. This is undoubtedly an alternative.
The art of immortality is also a more down-to-earth art of immortality than becoming an immortal!
At this time, Zhang Guo was already ninety years old, so his desire to obtain this method was as intense as coals of fire, and he was not allowed to hesitate at all.
"Come on." Zhang Guo said: "For the sake of loyalty, I am too soft-hearted, so I will help you."
Fang Linyan couldn't help but glance at him. The most admirable thing about this old man is that he always manages to add a high-sounding name to his actions for his own selfish reasons. Whether you call him a hypocrite or a hypocrite,
Whether it’s building a memorial arch or building a memorial arch, this is a rare talent.
So next Zhang Guo brought a basin of water, and then performed divination and divination.
So what is this basin of water used for? Of course it is a medium for divination.
The core of King Wen's divination is to interpret the hexagrams. As for how the hexagrams come from, there are various methods.
There are burnt turtle shells and ox bones for bone divination (this is where oracle bone inscriptions come from),
There are coins throwing coins,
There is the art of divination that uses the length of grass to predict fortune.
There is also the art of pretentiousness and divination with fingers. Jiang Ziya likes to be pretentious like this.
At this time, what Zhang Guo displayed was the water mirror technique that he was good at!
Sima Hui, who recommended Zhuge Liang, was also proficient in this technique, so he was named Mr. Shui Jing. However, strictly speaking, Sima Hui was an amateur, and his attainments in this area were definitely far inferior to Zhang Guo's.
At this time, ripples of light could be seen in the basin in front of Zhang Guo. Fang Linyan took a peek and found that there was nothing on the water, just a basin of clear water.
Zhang Guo, however, was looking at it very intently. At the same time, he was holding the wooden basin in front of him with both hands. Veins popped out on the back of his skinny hands. It looked like he was working very hard. He must be injecting mana into it.
Suddenly, Zhang Guo's whole body was shaken, and he could see a stream of blood, like a small dark red snake, snaking down from his nostrils and falling into the basin bit by bit. The clear water in the basin was flowing.
It instantly turned into blood, and an obvious vortex appeared.
After a few seconds, Zhang Guo let out a long sigh, put down the water in front of him with relief, then closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, his chest and abdomen rising and falling significantly.
At this time, there was a strange sound outside the window, like the sound of wind and rain mixed with the crow of crows.
Xiang Hezhen, who was sitting cross-legged next to him, suddenly raised his eyebrows, then drew his sword with his backhand and threw it directly outside, breaking the window in an instant!
The weapon he threw was the one Muramasa had with a lot of karma. Sniff, and you could see that the Myoho Renge Sutra scriptures on the sword inscription were lit up as it flew out.
!
Xiang Hezhen's throw was really unparalleled in speed, and the light of the sword suddenly shone like lightning. The strange sounds outside immediately stopped abruptly, but two seconds later, there was another shrill howl.
The sound rang out, and then it moved away at an alarming speed.
Immediately afterwards, Xiang Hezhen tightened his hand, and immediately saw Muramasa. He flew back upside down, and his blade suddenly glowed with a strange light like mercury.
He brought it to his nose, sniffed it slightly and said:
"It seems to be a similar spirit to Tengu, but stronger."
After witnessing this scene, Zhang Guo's expression became obviously serious:
"I spy on the secrets of heaven, and every time I lose my life, it also attracts nearby monsters and monsters to spy on me. I didn't expect that your noble lord is so powerful. Among the rangers I have seen, no one can match his skill!
"
Xiang Hezhen stood about one meter behind Fang Linyan at all times, which was the position of a standard guard, so Zhang Guo could tell at a glance that Xiang Hezhen was his subordinate.
After listening to his words, Fang Linyan laughed and said:
"Master Zhang is overrated. Based on your knowledge, you must have met Wang Yue, the chief among the rangers. He is Cao Pi's master! Even though my brother is very skilled, it is impossible to compare with him."
Zhang Guo shook his head and said:
"Wang Yue's swordsmanship is more about performance than killing intent. Only then can he be appreciated by the powerful. He is a typical example of fame being greater than strength. Among the knights I have seen, Xu Gong's disciple Zhu Wei successfully assassinated Kirby Neng.
The assassin Han Long is far more courageous and powerful than Wang Yue."
After Fang Linyan heard these names, he immediately stood in awe.
Zhu Wei's reputation is not obvious, but he also has another identity, that is, Xu Gong's retainer and the mastermind behind the assassination of the little overlord Sun Ce! If Sun Ce had not died, Sun Quan would have been suppressed and unable to ascend to power.
Not only that, at that time, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were fighting the Battle of Guandu, and Sun Ce was planning to attack Cao Cao's home base of Xudu. If he succeeded, the history of the Three Kingdoms would probably be directly rewritten.
Therefore, Zhu Wei is an assassin who has slain a dragon, and he can be compared with a master like Jing Ke!
But Zhang Guo continued:
"But none of the three of them possess the kind of heroic spirit that your noble subordinate possesses. The moment he draws his sword, his whole body seems to be riding on a long wind, so vast and majestic! The world is so big, everything must be under his control.
Under the aura, he retreated."
Fang Linyan laughed and said:
"Zhenzhen Zhang is so ridiculous. I wonder what the result of the water mirror divination will be?"
Zhang Guodao:
"The people you are looking for are currently trapped in Pingxian'ao, a hundred and eighty miles away. However, it is not the Wu army or Cao army that trapped them, but the local Shanyue people."
"At the same time, I will give you twelve more words: good luck in the east and bad luck in the north. I want to be a yellow bird, and I am in the tree."
