I will practice more in the heavens

Chapter 17 Riding a Tiger into Luoyang

A song named Fengshen narrates, from Shang Zhou King to Jiang Ziya, from Lao Tzu to the Dao of Heaven, from Penglai Xiandao to Kunlun Mountain, Cao Cao is so fascinated and astonished.

"Unexpectedly, there is still that period of 'Conferred God'?"

"Later, all the immortals on the earth went to heaven, and the spiritual energy in the world gradually disappeared. Now, except for some pretending to be gods and ghosts, no real immortals can be found anymore. It's a pity, a pity!" Li Xing said with emotion.

To fool Cao Cao, he was stunned for a while.

To be reasonable, what Li Xing said was too nonsense, and Cao Cao didn't believe it in his heart, but the nonsense was justified, as if it was true, and he wanted to refute it, but he couldn't find any loopholes.

Such a detailed thing can't be made up now, can it?

Sima Qian wrote "Historical Records" for several years!

"In this way, there are no immortals in the world, so there is no chance to find longevity?" Cao Cao said.

"There are no absolutes. I heard that there are Zuo Ci, Nan Hua, and Yu Ji in this world, and there is also a great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao who can 'scatter beans into soldiers'. Maybe the immortals are gone, but the law of longevity is still in the world. There are rumors." Li Xing said.

He dare not say that there are no gods in this world.

There may not be any real "immortals", but there may be people who know some thaumaturgy.

After all, this is the world of Romance.

There is "Zuo Ci plays Cao Cao", there is "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand", there is "Zhuge Liang borrows the east wind", and there is a fairy Yu Ji who was beheaded by Sun Ce... Well, let’s not talk about the latter, but the first three are all Undoubtedly a formidable character.

Of course, just some thaumaturgy.

Whether he can become the world's fierce general, this remains to be squeezed.

"Zuo Ci, Nan Hua, and Yu Ji?" Cao Cao secretly wrote down these three names, and then said: "Zhang Jiao is a thief. I don't know if he will "Scatter Beans into Soldiers", but even if he has, it is not enough. For worry."

Hearing this, Li Xing immediately asked, "Why?"

In fact, when he was fighting the Yellow Turban Army with Liu Guanzhang, he also wanted to go to Zhang Jiao to see if he was really that amazing.

Anyway, with Liu Guanzhang around, even if he is really a god, he is not afraid.

But it has never been found. Although Zhang Jiao is the leader of the rebel army, his whereabouts are strange, and the dragon can't see the end.

"I don't know anything else. Once before, when I was marching with my friend Yuan Shao, I encountered Zhang Jiao leading an attack." Cao Cao said with some disdain: "In the end, Yuan Shao only sent Yan Liang and Wen Chou with five hundred The cavalry attacked and drove back Zhang Jiao. Later, Dong Zhuo also met him. At that time, Lu Bu was not under Dong Zhuo’s command, so he sent Hua Xiong to drive him away. Not long after that, Zhang Jiao died of illness, and the Yellow Turban Army It was quickly suppressed!"

Zhang Jiao was praised very well, but there were very few people who had actually seen him cast spells.

Therefore, Cao Cao suspected that he was pretending to be a ghost.

"Is that so?" Hearing this, Li Xing was also a little disappointed with Zhang Jiao.

But I quickly thought of another thing: if there is magic in this world, then there is probably the theory of "luck". There is a situation where spells cannot be used.

This can also explain why Yu Jihui was chopped off by Sun Ce.

Of course, it is not ruled out that it is pretending to be a ghost.

Because Zhuge Liang's so-called "spells" and "able to pinch and count" all come from wisdom.

Even "borrowing the east wind" has a scientific basis.

"Whether it's true or not, whether it exists or not? I'm a man of my generation. I can do whatever I want. If I have longevity, I'll find it. If I don't have it, I have to make sure it doesn't exist!" Li Xing said freely.

Of course, the reason why it is so free and easy is because it can add points to the "life".

He doesn't know whether other people can live forever, but he can definitely.

"That makes sense!"

The two chatted while hurrying, and the time passed quickly.

Along the way, Cao Cao always changed various methods, trying to find some sense of presence in Li Xing, such as showing off his knowledge, such as explaining his knowledge of the world, and even telling folk anecdotes.

In short, he just wanted to make Li Xing admire himself once.

But it didn't work once: Cao Cao talked about Su Qin and the Prime Minister of the Six Kingdoms, and Li Xing told him that Zhang Yi was in harmony with each other.

Cao Cao talked about Confucius traveling around the world, and Li Xing talked about Lao Tzu going west to Hangu.

In short, it is not timid to talk about the past and the present.

For people in this era, being able to read and write is considered good. How can people who have received nine years of compulsory education know a lot?
When it comes to capable people in the world, that’s even worse—Li Xing, who has watched “Three Kingdoms”, can even name Cao Cao’s grandson, how can he compare?
In the end, Cao Cao, who couldn't take it anymore, began to show off his "mathematics" that he was not very proficient in: "Brother Shanshui, do you know that there are three hooks, four strands, and five strings in ancient times?"

"I know, this is called the Pythagorean Theorem..." Li Xing took over the topic and said.

Finally, after talking a lot, he suddenly smiled, changed the math problem he gave Zhang Fei before, and said: "Zhang Yide from Yan killed ninety yellow scarf thieves a month, and the bandit leader was fifty less than the elite soldiers. There are more soldiers than bandits..."

Hearing this, Cao Cao was taken aback for a while, and after a long time of calculation, he barely figured it out.

But soon, I heard "Jingwei filling the sea" again: "After Yandi's daughter Jingwei turned into a bird, she threw a pebble into the sea on the first day, two on the second day, and on the third day... 1 years After that, how many stones did Jingwei throw in total?"

Cao Cao heard the words: "???"

……

In the end, when the two came to Luoyang, the capital city, Cao Cao was completely wilted like a defeated rooster.

Astronomy and geography, talking about the past and the present, numeracy and martial arts, riding and music, none of which he was better than Li Xing, he felt a little suspicious of life for a while.

But soon, he found a sense of existence.

After arriving in Luoyang, Li Xing was actually stopped, and the guards were unwilling to let him go.

Because he is riding a tiger.

So, it's time for Cao Cao to act aggressively—he took out a waist card, pointed at it and said, "Open your eyes and take a good look, who am I? Hussars Captain Cao Cao, Xiangguo Dong Zhuo's subordinate! My You dare to stop your friend from entering the city?"

Not to mention, such a pretentious demeanor really bluffed the guards.

Let Li Xingzhen ride a tiger into Luoyang, scaring many passers-by to flee.

Some street vendors don't even want the goods.

"Counters, a bunch of cowards!" Cao Cao said disdainfully.

"Ahem, that Meng De, let's quickly find a place to settle down!" Li Xing said, feeling that he was indeed a little too ostentatious.

Cao Cao nodded upon hearing this.

But at this moment, a red-faced man with a big knife came over and said in admiration: "Good guy, this mount is fierce, how about giving it to me?"

His broadsword was not Guandao, but a short-handled broadsword.

Like a door panel.

"Haha, General Hua Xiong, I heard someone mention..." Cao Cao stepped forward to speak, but was pushed away by Hua Xiong, who didn't pay much attention to him as "General Hussars".

Instead, he looked at Li Xing, stared and said, "Yes, or not?"

This is to take by force.

But Li Xing was not angry, but said with a smile: "The mount is here, if you have the ability, you can get it yourself!"
