So he warmed the wine with blazing flames.

Yuan watched the flames crackling and burning the leaves, leaned against the trees, and murmured:

"Yun Chang died in Jingzhou, Cao Mengde died from a headache, Zhang Yide died unexpectedly, Liu Xuande asked Gu Baidi, after that, Ma Mengqi died of hatred, Huang Hansheng died on the bed, Zhao Zilong grew old and went to Shu... I don't know why, this world suddenly, It feels a bit like the bleak autumn wind.”

"Ahem..."

The old man said: "You are different from your teacher."

He is none other than Zuo Ci.

Yuandao: "Of course I am different from the teacher."

"This time we came to see the old gentleman and other colleagues for one thing."

"whats the matter?"

The speaker was another elderly Taoist next to him named Ge Xuan.

Yuan, whose temples were half white, looked into the distance and said softly: "Use the seven-star lantern to save a person."

"Save who?"

"Zhuge Liang."

Yuan said slowly: "The method of the Yellow Turban Warriors that I created can be used by all Taoist schools."

"How about this as a reward?"

Ge Xuan raised his eyebrows and said nothing more, just said:

"I heard that Mr. Ge is a humble gentleman."

Yuan raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "Qianqian gentleman?"

"Who said that?"

He couldn't help but chuckled in a low voice: "He has never been a humble gentleman. When the other generals said they were unwilling to go during the expedition to Nanzhong, he simply said, since you can't do it, I'll go in person. Of course, he just said it in a gentle way. , I gave the order because I expected that the generals were not as talented as myself, so I will go where I want."

"Which general below dares to say that he is better than him?"

"Actually, he still thinks that the reason why he will rebel is because these generals did not do well before."

"Sima Yi falsely claimed that Wu had surrendered, so he wrote directly back and said, 'You are a sixty-year-old man, why bother lying like this?' He also said that he was gentle, but in fact, he was probably saying that you will be buried in your sixties if you don't stop. , why don’t you think it’s shameful to do this kind of trick?”

"Even when Xu Yuanzhi went on a study tour with him, he said that Xu Yuanzhi and the others could at best be county guards."

"When others were not convinced and asked him, he just smiled and said nothing, which means that you don't understand, how can he be a modest gentleman... What's more, cough cough cough..."

He coughed violently and smiled:

"I heard from A Liang before that Sima Yi said that he already had a way to defeat him, but he wanted to ask Emperor Cao for instructions. The boy said in the letter that the old boy was just bragging and had no guts to fight him. I will have the fate of the emperor. I have never heard of anyone who can win a battle and ask the king for instructions."

"My temper hasn't changed at all."

They drank the monkey wine from the mountains and became intoxicated.

After he got drunk, he thought of the young man who was as clear as the mountain breeze and the bright moon, of the persistent counselor, of the children playing the piano and singing, of the sleeping children that afternoon, and of the young Taoist priest who opened the door and walked in.

Yuan murmured: "He is my disciple, my younger brother..."

"It is also the last flame in the world."

Zuo Ci said softly: "The Lord of the Big Dipper dies and the seven stars continue to live. This is a very dangerous method."

"How to do it?"

Under the moonlight, the drunk Taoist murmured:

"Seven stars extend life, seven stars extend life."

"Take my life to extend his life."

"With his life, the world's life will continue..."

Zuo Ci complexly looked at the drunken Taoist, and thought of the young Taoist who smiled and asked for the dragon-slaying and vein-cutting artifact decades ago. The old immortal stood up, sighed, held his hands in his hands, and said, "In that case."

"I will give my fellow Taoist a helping hand."

"Let's also see if manpower can defy destiny."

PS: Thanks to Yang Fan for his generous reward. Those two sentences of Sima Yi were indeed said by him and recorded in the official history, but the time period was different and were used in the second creation. "Ancient and Modern Sword Records": Zhuge Liang settled in central Guizhou and started from Qingshi Temple.

After passing by, he drew his knife and stabbed the mountain. He threw the knife and walked away, unpredictable.

"Book of Jin" records that Sima Yi won, while "Three Kingdoms" was neutral. "Han, Jin and Spring and Autumn" recorded Zhuge Liang's victory.

Historians represented by "Zizhi Tongjian" adopted the latter.

"Book of Jin": The military advisor Du Xi and the governor Xue Ti both said that next year when the wheat is ripe, Liang will definitely be a bandit (this is official history, obviously the prime minister's crazy behavior of stealing wheat has caused a huge shadow to the opponent, and it is like grass).
