Chapter 497 This is a chapter title
The old man in white was wearing crane feathers, a bamboo hat on his head, a wine gourd hanging around his waist, a dark blue Bai Ze jade pendant on his chest, and was walking towards them holding a wooden staff.
"Xia Yu, I didn't expect you to come back so soon this time."
The old man looked at Xia Yu with a smile, and Xia Yu also bowed and said, "Master."
"Who is this guest?"
The old man turned to look at Zhuge Liang, who also saluted: "I am Zhuge Liang, with the courtesy name Kongming."
"Haha, no need to be so polite. We don't care about that here." The old man waved his hand and said with a smile, "I am Zuo Ci, a Taoist priest from Tianzhu Mountain."
"Master, he is the person I first told you about."
At this time, Xia Yu suddenly spoke from the side. Hearing this, Zuo Ci looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise, and then invited the two to go to his bamboo house.
Although Zuo Ci is the master of all Taoists in Tianzhu Mountain, his bamboo house is no different from those of others. Everything is kept simple.
The slightly different thing is that there are many bamboo slips placed in Zuo Ci's bamboo house, just like an ancient library.
After a while, the three of them gathered around a bamboo table with a bamboo slip spread out on the table.
"The pills made from Qi require a large amount of Qi to be transformed into true pills. The amount is so large that it is difficult to obtain it other than through wars and disasters that cause great suffering to the people..."
Zuo Ci pointed to the contents on the bamboo slips one by one and explained them. Although Xia Yu and Zhuge Liang already knew these contents, they still listened quietly .
"In addition, the container used to collect evil energy is the Dantian in the human body. It is said that only the clan blessed by the ancient dragon has a Dantian that can withstand its power."
"The so-called true elixir is probably related to the chaos in this world."
Zuo Ci sighed and continued, "Four hundred years ago, the tyrannical Qin II died, and Emperor Gaozu established the present Han Dynasty. Although the dynasty was once usurped, it was successfully revived and continued its unfinished destiny."
"But now it seems that the Han Dynasty has come to an end..."
Sighing slightly, Zuo Ci shook his head and stopped talking about this. He turned to look at Zhuge Liang and said, "The clan that inherited the bloodline of the Dragon Dantian has been living in seclusion somewhere in the world. I didn't expect that I could actually meet their clansmen. It is really a blessing."
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang's expression darkened: "My people have been living in seclusion in the world, but my hometown was still affected by the war. I had no choice but to flee alone, and now I have no relatives or friends."
"Who would have thought that the turbulent times would not let me go. If it weren't for Brother Zichuan telling me, I would have no idea that I had been exposed."
"oh?"
Zuo Ci looked at Xia Yu curiously, and Xia Yu nodded and explained: "The person who wants to refine the real elixir is a Taoist who has dabbled in evil magic. His name is Yu Ji, and he is the one who is pushing the spread of the war behind the scenes."
“Yu Ji?” Zuo Ci muttered for a moment and shook his head: “I have never heard of this name, but as long as I follow the evil spirit, I will be able to catch this person one day and bring order to the world.”
"That's why I brought this kid up the mountain."
Xia Yu laughed and patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder: "Now that the person who possesses the Dragon Dantian is in our hands, no matter how Yu Ji provokes a war, he will not be able to refine the real elixir."
"After I get rid of that old man, I will put down the war in one fell swoop and end this chaotic world. Military Advisor, you have to help me."
Faced with Xia Yu's words, Zhuge Liang could only smile bitterly and nod.
Zuo Ci watched this scene with a smile on his face. When Xia Yu stopped laughing, he said again: "Xia Yu, do you have anything else to do recently?"
"What's wrong, Master?" Xia Yu did not answer, but asked first.
"It was that girl Hong Jing." Zuo Ci sighed, "She sensed the disorder of Qi caused by the demon and the elixir, so she went to investigate alone."
"I'm worried that she might get into trouble by herself. After all, as you know, that girl has a reckless personality, just like her brother."
"Is that so..."
Xia Yu lowered his head and pondered. If his memory served him correctly, Hong Jing seemed to be trying to sneak into the Yellow Turban camp in Dongshan in order to find out the cause of the disorder of Qi.
However, she was captured by General Zhang Bao and almost became a sacrifice. Fortunately, she was rescued by the protagonist Yiyongbing and Zhao Yun.
It seems that he really needs to go, otherwise his junior sister will be in danger.
You can also become sworn brothers with Zhao Zilong of Shijiazhuang. The other party's patron beast is the Qilin, which belongs to the earth element of the five elements. In the game, it is the first beast obtained by the volunteers.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu nodded: "I understand, Master, after I deal with Brother Kong Ming's affairs, I will go to find Hong Jing."
"Well, I'll leave Hong Jing to you."
The three of them then talked about the general situation in the world and ended the conversation.
Tianzhu Mountain, foot of the mountain.
After Xia Yu led Zhuge Liang to visit the Tianzhu Sect on the mountainside, he led him back to the fortress at the foot of the mountain.
Before going to look for the red crystal, he must first fulfill his promise to help Zhuge Liang protect the remote village, and preferably kill the murderous general Zhang Liang.
In the original history, Zhang Liang was attacked by Huangfu Song, the left general sent by the imperial court, so he led his army to counterattack in Guangzong. Later, due to negligence in vigilance, he was attacked at night by Huangfu Song's army. The rebel army led by him was hastily fought, and was eventually defeated, and Zhang Liang also died in the battle.
In the story of Wolong, although the Yellow Turban Army once gained the upper hand after the uprising, they were quickly suppressed by government troops, causing the battle to become stalemate.
Zhang Liang relied on the elixir and elite soldiers given to him by Zhang Jue to plunder and cause chaos in various places to undermine the morale of the officers and soldiers. Finally, when he attacked a village in Xuzhou on the orders of Zhang Jue, he encountered the protagonist's volunteer soldiers and fought with them.
When Zhang Liang found that the situation was unfavorable, he took the last resort and took the elixir to turn into a demon. However, with the joint efforts of the protagonist and Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liang was eventually swallowed by Zhuge Liang's patron beast Yinglong and dissipated.
But it was precisely because Zhuge Liang exposed his patron saint beast and identity that he was visited by the fallen alchemist Yu Ji.
Under Yu Ji's sneak attack, Zhuge Liang was transformed into a one-eyed evil dragon. In order to rescue Zhuge Liang, the protagonist, the volunteer soldier, started his journey as a socialite of the Three Kingdoms. This is also the main storyline of Wolong.
Now Xia Yu has taken Zhuge Liang away in advance, but Zhang Liang will not stop attacking remote villages because of this change. Therefore, he still has to find someone who can deal with Zhang Liang.
In addition to the promise between him and Zhuge Liang, he also took into account the military achievement of defeating Zhang Liang. In history, Huangfu Song was directly promoted to General of the Left Cavalry, Governor of Jizhou, and Marquis of Huaili after the war.
But after the protagonist of the game defeated Zhang Liang, he was still an unknown volunteer soldier. Even though Zhang Liang, Zhang Bao and Zhang Jue were all killed by the protagonist in the end, the protagonist was still a volunteer soldier, with neither an official title granted by the court nor anyone recruiting him.
In Nioh 2, Ah Xiu was killing a lot of people, and at least there was a monkey to share his military achievements with, and then he could climb up with the help of his military achievements. But in Wo Long, the volunteers were killing a lot of people, and everyone was like blind, completely ignoring the protagonist's achievements. It was outrageous.
Even Cao Cao, who valued talents, did not extend an olive branch to the protagonist, but instead kept his eyes on Guan Erye.
It is obvious that in the game, both Hua Xiong and Lu Bu were defeated by the protagonist.
However, Xia Yu could understand it. After all, Koei's modified games have always been like this. But now that the game has become a reality, he naturally has his own ideas.
