Chen Zhen said: "I heard that there is a hermit in the west of Qingcheng Mountain. His surname is Li. Some people say that he has lived for more than three hundred years. He can know the good and bad luck of people's life and death. He is one of the few living gods today. Why don't you tell me about it?" Please ask the emperor to summon this man and ask him whether he is good or bad. This is much more useful than our persuasion!" After hearing this, everyone hit it off and went to report to the late master. The late master followed this suggestion and immediately asked Chen Zhen Taking the edict with him, he went to Qingcheng Mountain to preach. So Chen Zhen came to Qingcheng overnight, and under the guidance of local people, he entered the depths of the valley. He saw a villa in the distance, with clear clouds and auspicious atmosphere. While I was obsessed with this scenery, a child came and asked, "Is the person here called Chen Zhen?"
Chen Zhen came back to his senses and was very surprised when he heard the child's question and said: "We have never met before, how do you know my name?"
The boy smiled and said, "My master said yesterday that an envoy will come today with the emperor's edict. The envoy's name is Chen Zhen."
Chen Zhen sighed: "He is really a living god, and he knows the unknown things. There is nothing wrong with what people say!" So he and the boy entered the villa, met with Li Yi, and brought out the emperor's edict and read it out. Li Yi listened. Finally, he quickly excused himself, saying that he was too old to walk.
Chen Zhen said: "The emperor really wants to see the immortal and hopes to go there once." After repeated persuasion, Li Yi agreed to go.
When he came to Chengdu, he went to see the late master. The late master saw Li Yihe with a childlike face, green eyes with square pupils, and a body like a vicissitudes of cypress. He knew that he was an expert from outside the world, so he treated him with courtesy.
Li Yi bowed and said: "I am an old man from Barren Mountain. I have no knowledge and I have insulted your Majesty's recruitment. I wonder what your Majesty's decree is?"
The First Master said: "I have been friends of life and death with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Yu Yi for more than thirty years. Now my second brother has been killed by Soochow in Jingzhou. I am going to personally lead the army in the eastward expedition. I don't know whether it will be good or bad. I I heard that the Immortal can stay up all night long, I hope you can teach me!"
Li Yidao: "This is destiny, not something I can know!"
The First Master asked again and again, so Li Yi found some paper and pen and drew more than 40 pictures of soldiers, horses and equipment. After drawing, he tore them all into pieces. He also drew an adult lying on the ground. Next to him, a man was digging for landfill. I wrote a white word, and then drew a circle of tomorrow, rising from the east. After finishing the drawing, I shook my head and left.
The First Master naturally didn't understand the mystery, but someone was digging soil to fill the corpse in Bai's place, which made him very unhappy. He said to everyone: "This is a crazy old man. He doesn't know the meaning of the things he painted. There is nothing." A place that can be trusted." So they burned it with fire and sent soldiers forward.
This matter quickly spread to Yuyi's house. At that time, Yuyi was further discussing strategic directions with Huang Shumin, Huang Mochou and others.
Lei Chunze said: "I think this immortal is just a liar. He just lived up to his reputation. He drew some random things in front of the First Master, pretended to be powerful, and then left. In fact, he was just pretending to be mysterious and cannot be trusted!"
Xiaoli came up with a different idea, thinking that there were merits in the painting, such as a person lying on the ground, someone digging and filling the ground next to him, and there was a white word next to it.
Huang Shumin believes that the last picture has profound meaning, and believes that a tomorrow rising from the east proves to be new hope.
Everyone held their own opinions and there was no conclusion. At this time, the soldiers came to report that an old man appeared outside the door. He was very mysterious and wanted to see the King of Jingzhou.
Yu Yi hurriedly went to welcome him in. It turned out to be Xu Shu. When Yu Yi returned to Chengdu, Xu Shu attracted him to his manor and offered a trick. This prevented the former master from pursuing Yu Yi for missing Jingzhou. Fault, now that he has taken the initiative to come to the door, there must be something more important.
Among the others, only Huang Shumin and Lei Chunze knew Xu Shu's identity and resourcefulness, and they seemed very respectful. Yuyi introduced him to Huang Mochou and Xiaoli, and they both saluted.
After the ceremony, Yu Yi helped Xu Shu to the seat of honor and said, "Sir, coming to my mansion at this time is a timely help!"
Xu Shu smiled and said: "I heard that Li Yi went to Chengdu to divine the fortune of the Eastern Expedition. He drew some random pictures and left."
Yu Yi nodded, thinking that Xu Shu knew what happened, so he asked, "Do you know who this Li Yi is?"
He replied: "He has been practicing Taoism in Qingcheng Mountain for more than five hundred years. He is already a semi-immortal and can predict the future."
Yuyi asked again, "Then what does the content he drew randomly mean?"
Xu Shu said: "This is exactly why I came here!"
It turned out that after Li Yi left Chengdu, he went directly to Xu Shu's village, gave Xu Shu a divination lesson, told Xu Shu that their fate was uncertain, and gave Xu Shu a picture.
Yu Yi took the picture from Xu Shu. The content is: a person is holding a sword and standing on a high place. Above his head is the tomorrow. In front of him is a river. On the opposite side of the river is a giant dragon, watching eagerly.
Yu Yi didn't understand what it meant at all, so he passed it to others to read, but no one could understand the meaning, so he asked Xu Shu, "What does Li Yi's painting mean?"
Xu Shu shook his head and said: "He handed the picture to me and told me to give it to Queen Jingzhou and leave!"
After thinking about it, he didn't know what it meant. Yu Yi simply threw it aside, took Xu Shu's hand, and said: "Since the last time we left the manor, I have missed sir very much. Since God's will is this, sir, please don't do it again." We left, we won’t come back until we get drunk today!”
Yufu quickly prepared various ingredients, and the banquet was very grand. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xu Shu changed his name to Xu Shu and also changed his appearance.
The Eastern Expedition has entered the final stage. Zhang Bao came to the front of the First Lord and said: "Wu Ban's troops have arrived, and I am willing to be the vanguard!"
The First Master strengthened his ambition and gave Zhang Bao the pioneer seal and ribbon. Zhang Bao was about to hang the seal when suddenly another young man came out and said, "Give me this seal and ribbon!"
Everyone turned around and saw that the person coming was none other than Guan Xing. Zhang Bao said: "I have already obeyed the imperial edict!"
Guan Xing smiled and said: "What ability do you have to take on the important task of being a pioneer?"
Zhang Bao said: "I have learned martial arts since I was a child. My archery is accurate and there are no missed shots."
The First Master said: "Since that's the case, let me see my nephew's martial arts to see if it's good or bad!"
Zhang Bao asked the sergeant to stand a hundred steps away and put up a flag with a red heart painted on it. Zhang Bao took a bow and arrow and shot three arrows in a row, all of which hit the red heart.
Everyone praised him one after another. Guan Xing took the bow in his hand and said with a smile: "What's weird about shooting the red heart!" While he was talking, some wild geese happened to fly over his head.
