Ancient Chinese magic comes from the Taoist alchemy, which is divided into two categories, one is called magic, the other is called magic number, spells are the abilities we are familiar with, such as the great change of life and the acquisition of objects, that is, ancient magic. And the magic number is what we commonly call the upper knowledge of astronomical geography, the lower knowledge of yin and yang gossip, such as Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang such as the unpredictable technique of ghosts and gods. There were many warlocks in ancient China, most of whom had unique skills that are unimaginable to today's people, and Zuo Ci in the Three Kingdoms period was such a god man.
Zuo Ci, Mr. Wujiao of the Dao, a famous alchemist at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, lived in Tianzhu Mountain and studied the art of alchemy. The Book of the Later Han Says He Rarely Has Shinto. According to Ge Hong's Baopuzi Jindan, Zuo Ci was Ge Xuan's teacher. He passed on three volumes of the Taiqing Danjing, and one volume each of the Jiuding Danjing and the Jinliu Danjing. Cao Zhi's "Treatise on the Apologetics" says that he is good at the art of room. According to relevant historical records, after 60 or 70 years of cultivation, they became immortals after death. Ge Hong's "Biography of the Immortals" also says that he can serve the ghosts and gods (understanding the branches of heaven and earth), and will change and break valleys.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty Ganbao's "Search for God" and the "Book of later Han" have the same record. When Cao Cao was doing Sikong, there was a big banquet for guests, when the high friends were full of seats, Cao Caozhi proudly held the cup and said to the guests: "Today's grand event, my old Cao cao is very happy, prepared a very rich delicacy, but unfortunately there is a lack of a unique dish, that is, Songjiang sea bass, it is really a pity ah regret." As soon as the words fell, Zuo Ci replied, "Little meaning, buddy is at your fingertips." Zuo Ci ordered the people to take a copper basin, filled with water, holding a fishing rod hanging on the plate, and after a while, they caught a live fish, Cao Cao clapped his hands and laughed, and everyone was shocked, in order to push the atmosphere to a climax, Cao Cao said harshly, "What is enough for a fish?" Wolves have more meat and less meat, and a few more." Zuo Ci then lowered the rod again, and after a moment's effort, he fished out a few more fish, all three feet long, fresh and lovely. Cao Cao gestured to the next person, cooked immediately, and once again made it difficult for "Songjiang perch to have, but unfortunately there is no ginger material for Shudi", Zuo Ci replied: "Simple and the same, buddies will come when they go", Cao Cao was seriously ill, worried that Zuo Ci would take it nearby, and said slyly, "A few days ago I let people go to Shudi to buy brocade, you will go and tell them, buy two more horses." As soon as the words fell out, Zuo Ci had already returned with ginger and informed Cao Cao that he had informed the emissaries of the words he had commanded. Cao Cao was suspicious of the letter, and after a while, Cao Envoy returned from Shudi and told Lao Cao that he had bought two more Shu Jin, and that the time and evening coincided with Zuo Ci's day, and Cao Cao was shocked, thinking that Zuo Ci was also a god.
Another time, Cao Cao and a hundred scholars went to the countryside to enjoy the game, played too much, dry mouth, hungry stomach, Zuo Ci performed aerial extraction skills, holding a cup in one hand, holding meat in the other, constantly pouring wine in his hand, hundreds of officials ate enough wine and food, Cao Cao was greatly surprised, secretly ordered his men to go to the street market to investigate, and found that there were indeed liquor stores that lost wine and meat. Seeing this scene in front of him, Cao Cao moved the killing machine, his grandmother's, there is such a person around, take my head is not as good as probing the bag to take things, afraid, terrible, too terrible. Cao Cao decided to get rid of Zuo Ci, and just now he saw Zuo Ci sitting among the guests, and when the guards went to arrest him, Zuo Ci disappeared into the wall and became invisible. Cao Cao offered a reward for the arrest of Zuo Ci, and some people reported that they had found traces in the street market, and the guards went there, but found that everyone on the street was Zuo Ci's appearance. Later, someone found Zuo Ci in Yangcheng, Cao Cao sent someone to arrest him, Zuo Ci ran into a flock of sheep, Cao Cao knew that he could not catch Zuo Ci, the true color of the tyrant appeared, and Yan Yuexi's false meaning said, "I am not trying to catch you, just test your spells", suddenly an old sheep stood up like a human and said: "You see if it is me?" The soldiers were horrified and went to catch the old sheep, but when they saw all the sheep stand up, they said in unison, "See if it's me?" Cao Cao raised his knife and cut it, and suddenly the sheep turned into grass. Zuo Ci's performance is no longer magic, but the highest realm of magic, which is a kind of invisible Qiankun great shift that makes people stunned and want to argue.
The miraculous spells of the god Man Zuo Ci are not only these, Luo Guanzhong also has similar descriptions in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, such as lifting heavy weights and stealing beams and changing pillars. Sometimes Sun Quan Huangshu Xiao'er ba the jianghu helmsman Cao Boss, ordered people to pay tribute to Cao Cao with more than forty quintals of Jiangnan oranges, porters traveled thousands of miles, tirelessly sent to Yi County, when they reached the foot of a certain mountain, they met Zuo Ci, Zuo Ci dressed differently, one eye was blind, one leg was lame, (Similar to Tie Quan Li, could it be that the old iron legend was earlier than the Sui Dynasty?). Wearing a white vine crown and a green lazy coat, a good taoist fairy bone, the old left hand waved, and said to the crowd, "You have been waiting for a long journey, you have long been overwhelmed, how about I pick you a ride?" "Everyone was overjoyed, but the strange thing was that Lao Zuo only picked five miles per burden, but after he picked it, all the burdens were lightened. After picking up the burden, Old Zuo drifted away, and when he went, he said to the people, I am Zuo Ciye, Mr. Wujiao, a native of the hometown of the King of Wei, and you can tell the King of Wei that I will go to see the King of Wei. Cao Lao saw the new orange, personally peeled, but saw the fresh citrus inside, there is no citrus meat, the porter explained the story on the way to him, the old Cao will believe the doubt, suddenly the doorman came to report, there is a gentleman, calling himself Zuo Ci, asked to see the King of Wei, Cao Cao summoned in and angrily asked, "What is your work?" How dare you steal my flesh with magic? "Taoist people don't make jokes, what's the matter?" Zuo Ci smiled and took the orange section, there was meat inside, its taste was sweet, but Cao Lao's old hand was not good, cutting one without meat, and then cutting another one was still not, Cao Cao was frightened. Zuo Ci did not spare people, and begged for wine and meat, but he actually drank five buckets without getting drunk, and ate a roasted whole sheep and was not full. Zuo Ci's meal volume can compete with the "seven forks", and he is allowed to win the gold medal at the World Championships.
Zuo Ci not only can shape-shifting Dafa and bone reduction techniques but also break through valleys, which is much higher than the kung fu of the super heroes written by Jin Yong. Maybe it was seeing Zuo Ci's demon magic to confuse the people, or being jealous of Zuo Ci's heavenly magic, or whether the existence of such a person would shake his authority. Cao Cao ordered the jailers to take Zuo Ci down and then torture him, and when he looked at Zuo Ci again, Zuo Ci fell asleep, completely unaware of the pain. Cao Cao was angry, and the consequences of Cao Boss's anger were very serious, so he ordered someone to take a big shackle, nail it with iron nails, lock it with iron locks, put it into the cell, strictly guard it, and then look at Zuo Ci, the shackles fell off, and the hair was not damaged. Boss Cao imprisoned Zuo Ci, beat you to death and starved you to death, for seven consecutive days, did not send food and drink, but Zuo Ci sat on the ground, his face was rosy, this situation was healthier than eating and drinking, Boss Cao wondered in surprise why? Lao Zuo's hippie smile replied: "It doesn't matter if I don't eat or drink for decades, and the eclipse of thousands of sheep is not a problem", Boss Cao was helpless.
Later magicians had the skill of performing the rejuvenation of all things, that is, planting flowers and fruit seeds, and soon they will see the process of seeds germinating and blossoming, in fact, playing this karate and magic technique, the old ancestor is still Zuo Ci. Once when the north wind was shuoshuo and the sky was snowing heavily, Cao Cao had the heart to embarrass Zuo Ci, so he said to Zuo Ci, today the sky is cold and frozen, everything withers and withers, can you get me a plate of blooming peony flowers? Zuo Ci said how difficult it is, but a piece of cake, if I succeed, please give me twenty seconds of applause. Zuo Ci asked people to take a large flower plate and put it on the front feast, and then watered it, and the magical moment did come, and there was a delicate peony that wanted to drip the national color and heavenly fragrance on the plate, and the peony blossomed twice, and everyone was shocked that the eyeballs were about to fall, and the applause lasted for five minutes, and every minute was full of doubt, magic and admiration, making Lao Cao eager to kill this omnipotent magic master immediately.
Even more miraculous, Zuo Ci took the wine glass on the table, poured it full of fine wine into Cao Cao, and said very religiously, please drink this wine, this wine can increase life expectancy by a thousand years (the king of a thousand years is eight). Cao Cao is a serious patient with suspicious heart disease in the world, how can you drink the wine poured by the magician at will, you drink it first. Zuo Ci knew what Cao Cao was thinking, so he pulled the jade hairpin from his hat, and then drew a picture on the cup, divided the wine in the cup into two, drank half of it, and gave the other half to Cao Cao, Cao Cao suddenly changed his face, angrily drinking Zuo Ci was going to harm him, Zuo Ci threw the cup in the air, the wine glass actually turned into a big white bird, flying around the temple, the officials were facing the sky, unclear, look at Zuo Ci, it was already gone, someone outside the door reported that Zuo Ci had already jumped out of the palace gate, Zuo Ci knew that Cao Cao would definitely not let himself go, and used a trick to escape.
The story of Zuo Ci teasing Cao Cao with magic is repeatedly recorded in the historical records, and posterity called Zuo Ci "Yadi", which was regarded as the highest honor for those who knew the fang. With Zuo Ci's skill, he could fight for the three kingdoms, the first god man in the Central Plains, the five tiger generals, and the five sons of Liang would all become grass chickens in front of him, and if Cao Cao treated him kindly, it would not be easy to take the world. In fact, Zuo Ci's tricks are just some carving insects and small skills, putting aside those mysterious things and the position of posterity to degrade Cao Yang Liu, it seems that they can find the secret from modern magic, but it is difficult for outsiders to know. Judging from the records of the ancients, according to Zuo Ci's magic number, the first magic master of ancient times should be chosen, but I don't know if future generations will think of this ancestor grandfather more than 1,800 years ago when performing magic?
In the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Fang Shu LieChuan II, Zuo Ci is widely used by people, and what he thinks in his heart is difficult to fathom. Not to probe the inner thoughts of those who are high-minded, it is probably that he can also perceive the hearts of these people in his heart. If he meets those who are frustrated in life, he can also make them understand the mysteries and make their human nature obedient.
