Save the life of Nan Hua, return to heaven and descend with heavenly book, Nan Yan leaves the world

  Youzhou's administrative center is south of Jizhou, and north of Liu Bei's hometown Zhuo County there is a mountain called Shangfang Mountain, also known as Shangfangshan. This mountain has 12 peaks, the highest peak being Zhongtianzhu, also known as "Zhai Xing Gang". From its name, it can be inferred that this mountain is steep, beautiful, strange and majestic, with white clouds swirling around the summit, forming a cloudy road, making people feel like they are walking in heaven, as if entering an immortal realm.

  The mountain people all did not know, in this mountain there is a Nine Immortals Cave, which is the residence of the immortals. The Old Immortal of Nanhua was cultivating in one of the Water Cloud Caves. In the spring of the first year of Zhongping, two more immortals arrived at the cave.

  Although these two immortals are in the same class, they look completely different. One of them wears a crane cloak, carries a staff, has a clear and unusual skeleton, and has hair like a crane and a youthful face, similar to the old immortal Nan Hua. This immortal is Yuji Xianren from Lanyang Palace.

  Another immortal, with one blind eye and a lame foot, wore a white rattan crown on his head and a blue lazy dress on his body. To say nothing of his immortal demeanor, even as an ordinary person, he was not like one, but rather looked like a beggar. This immortal was Zuo Ci, the left envoy of Emei Mountain.

  Wei Wuxian asked, "I don't know why Brother Jiang invited us here today?"

  Before Nan Hua Lao Xian could speak, Zuo Ci said: "It must be for the sake of the world's common people again! The fate of these common people has already been decided, what does it have to do with us outsiders? I advise Brother Dao not to go against heaven again! The case of Zhang Jiao is a recent warning, from which we can see that going against heaven will inevitably lead to evil consequences. Why not follow the example of the Heavenly Way being ruthless and carefree in the world, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

  Nan Hua Lao Xian shook his head and sighed, "You, Zuoyuan Fang, are always so lethargic. Don't forget that we too were once ordinary people who attained the Dao; how can we bear to sit idly by and watch the world struggle in the midst of war?"

  "What you said is absolutely right! I'm willing to help you with all my might, to save the people. Yu Ji said and then turned to Zuo Ci: "Yuan Fang, my friend, I know that your words don't match your heart. If you didn't want to save the world, you wouldn't have used the art of hiding one's shape and changing form to roam freely across the four seas."

  "Hmph, you're so talkative." Zuo Ci glared at Yu Ji with a single eye, but didn't refute him, waiting for Nan Hua Lao Xian's instructions instead.

  "Two fellow Taoists, I, a humble Taoist, observed the celestial phenomena at night and saw that the Emperor Star was dim and the stars were flashing. Not long after, the world will surely be in great chaos. The beginning of this disaster is actually Zhang Jiao, who claims to be the 'Great Sage'. I deeply regret not being strict when accepting disciples in the past, but now it's too late to change the course of events. Even if we eliminate Zhang Jiao, it would still take time to end this chaotic era. Therefore, I want to borrow the heavenly book from you two fellow Taoists and pray for the heavens to send a great talent to the world, to end this turmoil as soon as possible. Thank you in advance!" Nanhua Old Immortal spoke up, borrowing the heavenly book was also a helpless move. Although gods possess magical powers, they are not wise rulers of the world. Even if the three of them went down the mountain together, their effect would not be much stronger than that of Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang, the three brothers.

  "Fellow Taoist, there's no need for this! We're willing to help you save the world." Yu Ji and Zuo Ci said in unison.

  The two of them finished speaking, pinched their fingers and recited incantations. Each of them conjured up a heavenly book out of thin air and handed it over to the Old Immortal of Nanhua. The two heavenly books shone with golden light, surrounded by clouds and mist. One was Yu Ji's "Taiping Qingling Dao" and the other was Zuo Ci's "Dun Jia Tian Shu".

  These two heavenly books have a great origin. The "Taiping Qingling Dao" was obtained by Yu Ji when he entered the mountain to collect medicine during the Han Shun Emperor's reign. On that day, Yu Ji entered the mountain to collect medicine and saw a book floating on the water of Quyang Spring. Yu Ji thought it was extraordinary, took it out and observed it. This divine book was written on cyan white silk, with crimson red lines separating the rows, green labels, and red characters for the title, named "Taiping Qingling Dao". The divine book has more than 100 volumes, which not only records many medical techniques but also has magical techniques that can charm people's hearts and summon wind and rain.

  Zuo Ci's "Dun Jia Tian Shu" is extraordinary, it was obtained when Zuo Ci was cultivating in Emei Mountain. One day, while Zuo Ci was practicing, he suddenly heard a voice calling his name from within the stone wall, but saw nothing, and this happened for several days. Suddenly one day, a strong wind and thunderstorm struck, shattering the stone wall, revealing three volumes of heavenly books, named "Dun Jia Tian Shu", divided into "Tian Dun", "Di Dun" and "Ren Dun". Tian Dun can ride on clouds and cross the wind, flying up to the void; Di Dun can penetrate mountains and stones, driving away ghosts and spirits; Ren Dun can wander freely in the four seas, hiding one's form and changing one's body. The book records numerous methods of divination, avoiding grains, dividing bodies, and transformation.

  The two took out the Heavenly Book, and Zuo Ci smiled and said: "Nanhuadao brother, I have also studied this heavenly book for a long time, but I haven't seen any techniques for praying for heavenly talents. I don't know how you plan to bring down great talents? Can you let me see it?"

  Nan Hua Lao Xian summoned again, and another heavenly book appeared in his hand. The golden light radiating from this book was even more brilliant than the previous one, and it was titled "Taiping Essential Techniques". It turned out that Zhang Jiao's "Taiping Essential Techniques" was not a complete version, and what was recorded in it were only minor ways.

  Nan Hua smiled and said: "This 'Taiping Essentials' records the method of breaking through the void, praying for heavenly talents to descend. However, it is not something that can be achieved by our power alone. Besides gathering the three volumes of heavenly books, we must also borrow the power of the Southern Dipper and Northern Dipper. This time, the descending talent is not ordinary, it's not a great talent who knows 500 years ahead or behind, nor is it a great talent who gathers all the wisdom, bravery, and intelligence under heaven to bring peace to the world. Two fellow Taoists, I'm leaving!"

  Nanhu Laoxian finished speaking and transformed into a gust of clear wind, leaving and never returning. Yu Ji and Zuo Ci calculated with their fingers, only to find that Nanhu had returned to heaven, but they did not know whether this great talent would be reborn in the world.

  Later, Yu Ji met the emperor of Jiangdong who came to seek out great talents, but unexpectedly was mistaken for a sorcerer by Sun Ce and captured and killed. Sun Ce also died because of this.

  Zuo Ci was certain that Liu Bei was a heaven-sent talent with the appearance of an emperor, and had even teased Cao Cao about it, advising him: "Your Majesty's position is at its peak among men, why not take a step back and follow me to Mount Emei to cultivate? I will impart the three volumes of heavenly scriptures to you. Liu Xuan De of Yi Province is a descendant of the imperial family, why not yield this position to him? Otherwise, I will fly my sword to take your head!" This remark enraged Cao Cao greatly.

  The book implies that Sun, Liu and Cao are not heavenly gifted. The real reason why the Old Immortal of South China left without returning is that his requirements were too high, as there was no one in this world who could predict 500 years ahead or know what would happen after 500 years...

  In the foothills of Shangfang Mountain in Fangshan District, Beijing, a young man wearing a school uniform pedaled his 26-inch bicycle furiously, sending leaves on the roadside swirling into the air, revealing just how fast he was riding.

  Nan Yan rode his bike very fast, not because he had any urgent business, but because the summer vacation after the college entrance exam should be the most leisurely days for him in the past three years. The reason why he rode so fast was that he wanted to hurry back to his grandfather's house to play the latest downloaded game "Super Three Kingdoms Unparalleled".

  Nan Yan has been a fan of Three Kingdoms games since he was young. He played "The Conquest of the Continent" and "Swallowing the Heaven and Earth" on the Red and White Machine, "Three Kingdoms" in the arcade, "True - Three Kingdoms Unparalleled" and "Three Kingdoms Heroes" on the computer, and "Killers of the Three Kingdoms" as a board game. It can be said that there is no Three Kingdoms game he hasn't played, and now his phone even has a mobile game called "The Three Kingdoms Arrived".

  When it comes to kids playing games, parents are mostly against it, and Nan Yan's parents are no exception. Even though Nan Yan's grades have always been good, his parents don't want him cooped up at home staring at the computer and game console all day long. So as soon as summer vacation started, they kicked him out of the house and had him stay with his grandfather in Xiafang Mountain for a few days to climb some mountains, exercise his body, and get in touch with nature.

  Nan Yan, who had always lived and studied in the city, was really excited when he arrived at his grandfather's house and ran out every day to admire the beautiful scenery between the mountains. However, as time went on, even the most beautiful scenery became boring, and he started playing Three Kingdoms games on his laptop again. His grandparents spoiled their grandson and didn't care about him, so he played even more crazily than when he was at home.

  Yesterday, Nan Yan just downloaded a fighting game called "Super-Sango Wu Shuang". The gorgeous moves, beautiful graphics and melodious music made Nan Yan addicted at once. However, when he was controlling Lü Bu to launch frequent combos, killing all around and taking the head of the commander-in-chief in the midst of thousands of horses, the directional buttons on the handle were broken off by his excited hands.

  The scenic area near Shangfang Mountain is indeed beautiful, but it's a hassle to buy a controller. There isn't even an electronics market near Grandpa's house. Nan Yan had no choice but to get up early and ride his bike all the way to the county town to buy the best wireless controller available. The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is huge, and he was already sweating profusely by the time he finished riding, despite it being a bit chilly when he set out wearing his school uniform earlier that morning. Nan Yan didn't want to ride this route again.

  "Huh? Why did it suddenly become cloudy?" Nan Yan felt that the sky had suddenly darkened, as if a black cloud was blocking the sun.

  "It's going to rain, I'd better ride faster, don't want the new handlebars to get wet." Nan Yan thought to himself as he looked up at the sky.

  It's better not to look, but once you do, it's scary enough to make him fall off the car. What kind of dark clouds are blocking the sun? It's clearly someone who wants to ascend to immortality! The cloud layer in the sky above the mountains turned into a huge black whirlpool, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring like silver dragons running wildly, and the center of the whirlpool was facing the main peak Zhongtianzhu.

  "Oh my! This is a rare and extraordinary phenomenon, the heavenly thunder has descended, it must be that a superior being is cultivating immortality here, attracting the nine heavens' calamity. This scene is rarely seen, quickly take out your phone to capture it and upload it to Weibo." Nan Yan blabbered on, braking his bicycle, with both feet still on the pedals, he directly took out his phone and activated the camera function, aiming the lens at the swirling clouds.

  Due to the darkening sky, the spectacular view in the sky was not clearly displayed on the phone screen. Nan Yan had to adjust some parameters to make the picture clearer. As a high school graduate, he did not believe in the legend of immortals ascending to heaven and only regarded the spectacle before him as a rare natural phenomenon, without linking it to himself.

  Just as Nan Yan was adjusting his phone parameters against the cloud layer, three golden lights shot out from the vortex in the center of the cloud layer and flew straight towards Nan Yan. The phone screen clearly displayed this scene, scaring Nan Yan so much that he shook his hand and pressed the shutter button.

  It was too late to talk about it, and in an instant, three golden lights enveloped Nan Ye's body. He didn't have time to react except for his fingers trembling with fear, thinking to himself: "Oh no! How could I forget that you can't use a cell phone in a thunderstorm area? Now I'm done for!"

  Nan Yan thought he had been struck by lightning and was frightened, then he lost consciousness. Fortunately, the highway was deserted, otherwise it would have been scary. Because Nan Yan suddenly disappeared into thin air when he was enveloped by three golden lights for a moment, as if evaporating into the air...
