Lord in the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 36: Old Daoist Identity

Note: General Who Subdues Bandits -> Suppress Bandits General. Taoist = Daoist

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Soon, more and more people gathered around, and several players from another faction directly took action, kicking with their feet and hitting with sticks.

Even spitting and scolding occurred.

The old Taoist was overturned onto the dirty ground, his body curled up, protecting vital parts.

The luxurious carriage happened to arrive in this area. Long Chen, who was enjoying the street scenes of Qiao County in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, noticed a group of people gathering in one place.

Moreover, foul words were uttered from time to time. Frowning, he instructed the coachman to stop.

"Husband, what’s happening?"

Diao Chan was nestled in the warm and broad chest of Long Chen, enjoying the warmth. Sensing Long Chen’s unusual expression, she asked softly.

"Good baby~ Something seems to be happening there. Husband will go take a look. You just stay in the carriage and wait for me, okay? I’ll be back soon~"

Long Chen whispered against Diao Chan’s pretty face.

Suddenly, two pink flowers appeared on Diao Chan’s fair cheeks.

After getting off the carriage, Zhou Tai closely followed Long Chen, his tiger-like eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings, checking for potential unknown dangers.

"Make way! Suppress Bandits General is here!"

With a shout from the guards, the crowd was startled, and everyone dispersed, afraid of provoking this god of war!

After all, Long Chen, as the Suppress Bandits General, gained fame through slaughtering the Yellow Turbans. His reputation was not limited to Qiao County but spread throughout Yuzhou.

Long Chen frowned, noticing an old Taoist being kicked to the ground by the crowd, and his body was covered in disgusting heart-wrenching spit.

But these were not the main concerns. The most crucial point was that he found he couldn’t see the old Taoist clearly.

"System, check the attribute panel of this old Taoist!"

"Ding! Unable to check! Unable to check!" freewёbnoνel.com

"Ding! Unknown! Unknown! Unknown!"

Huh! This is really strange. Why can’t I check?

Moreover, the key point is that the system did not provide a clear answer as to why it couldn’t be checked?

Forget it, maybe this person has the talent to block the view of strangers?

As for the other possibility that the opponent might have a higher level than him, Long Chen didn’t even consider that!

After all, if someone had such strong abilities and strength, how could they willingly endure the humiliation of these ordinary people!

Since he happened to encounter this in Qiao County, Long Chen couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.

This was under the jurisdiction of Wang Yun, and considering it as Long Chen’s area of responsibility, he naturally couldn’t let such incidents occur.

So he ordered the guards to disperse the onlookers!

"Daoist, are you okay! Come, let me help you up!"

Long Chen said gently. At the same time, ignoring the dirt and spit on the old Taoist’s body, he helped him up.

This action made a glint of appreciation flash in the eyes of the impoverished old Taoist, but Long Chen didn’t notice.

"Thank you, young sir, for your help today!"

"It’s nothing. Filial piety is one of the principles of our Han Dynasty, and respecting the elderly and loving the young is a virtue of Huaxia. I should uphold and inherit these values!"

"Hahaha, rarely do you find someone like you talking about righteousness in such chaotic times. Interesting! Very interesting!"

Hmm, something feels off. How could these words be spoken by an old man who was just bullied?

Although Long Chen was puzzled, he didn’t ask about it.

Coincidentally, the old Taoist spoke again without reservation, "Old Daoist is a bit hungry. Would the young sir be willing to help and treat me to a meal?"

Before Long Chen could speak, Zhou Tai couldn’t help it and said angrily, "Humph! This old Taoist has no sense of proportion!"

But the old Taoist didn’t even look at Zhou Tai. He stared at Long Chen the entire time.

Long Chen was feeling uneasy, but still said, "Of course, please, young sir, let’s go. Sit in my carriage! Hurry up!"

Long Chen, filled with curiosity and doubt about this old Taoist, didn’t mind treating him to a meal.

"Youping! Go to the largest restaurant in Qiao County—Sanpin Pavilion!"

"My lord! Is it necessary to be so generous to this person?" Zhou Tai muttered.

"Just do as I instructed."

The space inside the carriage was large enough for three people. Long Chen sat in the middle, and the old Taoist and Diao Chan sat on either side.

Upon seeing Diao Chan, the old Taoist’s eyes lit up, showing a hint of surprise and other complex expressions. Diao Chan felt the same way.

As a five-star songstress, she possessed a sixth sense far beyond ordinary people. She always felt that this old Taoist was different.

Moreover, being from a humble background and later rising to prominence in Wang Yun’s household, she didn’t express any disgust towards the old Taoist’s appearance.

Inside the carriage, the old Taoist only glanced at Diao Chan initially, then closed his eyes to rest.

At the restaurant, he didn’t say much, just focused on eating. These actions puzzled Long Chen.

Watching the old Taoist eating heartily, Long Chen couldn’t help but speak up, "I don’t know how to address you. What is your name?"

The old Taoist, who was stuffing a chicken leg into his mouth, mumbled, "Um... Um... Gulu gulu!"

After finally swallowing the chicken leg, the old Taoist spoke, "You can call me Wujiao."

Wujiao?

Long Chen scratched his head. He felt like he had heard this name somewhere before.

Curious, he asked again, "So, what’s Wujiao’s full name?"

"I, Wujiao, am surnamed Zuo, named Ci... Um... Gulu gulu..."

Then, he continued eating without paying any attention to Long Chen and the others, making Zhou Tai angry. However, Long Chen, after hearing Wujiao’s response, was completely dumbfounded, feeling a refreshing sensation like an electric current flowing through his whole body!

What the heck! What the heck! What the heck! Lacking cultural knowledge, all I can say is what the heck!

Who is Zuo Ci!?

People familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms know that Zuo Ci is a truly formidable figure.

He played with the lords, accepted Ge Xuan (the founder of Daoist Lingbao School) as his disciple!

He is also one of the most mysterious figures in the Three Kingdoms.

It is rumored that he became an immortal after his death, able to command ghosts and gods...

Unexpectedly, the shabby old Taoist in front of him is actually the famous Zuo Ci!

But now, not many people are aware of Zuo Ci’s name. His fame will gradually rise during the Three Kingdoms period, but Long Chen, who is familiar with history, knows it!

So, his treatment of Zuo Ci became even more enthusiastic, which made the light in Zuo Ci’s eyes even more intense.

After a satisfying meal, Long Chen respectfully said, "Master, why not rest at my mansion!"

"My lord!!" Zhou Tai’s fierce tiger-like eyes stared at Zuo Ci fiercely.

Zuo Ci just smiled without saying a word, calmly using the black, dirt-covered fingernail on his pinky to pick his teeth.

"Youping! Don’t be disrespectful!"

"Uh... Understood, Master, please come and rest at my lord’s mansion..."

Zhou Tai reluctantly bowed.

"Good! I’m a bit tired."

"Please this way!"

"May I ask where Master is from?"

"I, Zuo Ci, am originally from Lujiang."

"How did you end up in Qiao County?"

"Because..." Under Long Chen’s enthusiastic hospitality, Zuo Ci became more and more satisfied.

This young man not only has an excellent appearance but also good moral character.

I have been cultivating for hundreds of years and haven’t found a disciple yet. This little guy seems to be a good fit!

However, with his true dragon aura and imperial appearance, it’s impossible for him to practice peacefully at Mount Tianzhu. It’s better to give him this set of cultivation methods to assist him in the future...

In the dark night, Zuo Ci pondered silently.

With a whoosh, Zuo Ci seemed to disappear into the vast world. If someone saw it, they would think they had encountered a ghost or god!

The next day, Long Chen came early to the outside of Zuo Ci’s room.

After realizing that he had encountered Zuo Ci, Long Chen couldn’t sleep all night, constantly thinking about Zuo Ci, making even Diao Chan wonder what happened to her husband.

Why isn’t my husband as impatient as usual during the night~

Facing a powerful figure like Zuo Ci, Long Chen was naturally excited!

He came early to pay his respects, but he received no response!

This made him puzzled. After pushing open the door, he found that the room was already empty.
