Chapter 67: Immortal Master Yu Ji, Subduing Demons Online

"Why are you two here too?" Ji Hao asked casually.

The two did not hide this. Sun Ce said frankly: "Isn't there a demon horse here? We have never seen a demon in our lives, so we came here to learn more."

Then Zhou Yu also said: "Besides, there are not only monsters, but I heard that immortals are coming too!"

Ji Hao: “???”

Having been in this world for such a long time, especially after occupying Qingzhou and Xuzhou, he has been engaged in large-scale construction, demolished countless temples of rural gods, and captured countless charlatans who were deceiving people.

Basically, unless it is a naturally formed belief, anything involving human factors is illegal in Qingzhou.

It's similar in other places.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion made those in power at that time particularly wary of charlatans.

But during this process, he did not see any supernatural things, let alone monsters and immortals - the so-called "demon horse" was actually Wuzhui, he was very sure of this.

However, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce don’t seem to think so?
"What immortal?" Ji Hao asked.

Speaking of this, the young Zhou Yu immediately became interested and spoke nonstop: "Have you heard of the Three Immortals of the Eastern Han Dynasty? Zuo Ci, Yu Ji, and Nan Hua! It is said that each of them has cultivated immortality. Among them, Nan Hua once passed on Zhang Jiao's "Taiping Yaoshu", has superb medical skills, and can also turn beans into soldiers!"

Hearing this, Ji Hao showed a look of realization, and then became curious.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there were indeed the "Three Immortals of the Late Han Dynasty".

Among them, Nanhua was also the mentor of the great and virtuous teacher Zhang Jue. The latter relied on the skills he learned from him to form the huge "Taiping Dao" and started the mighty Yellow Turban Rebellion.

It gave the princes the opportunity to raise their own troops and establish their own independence.

As for Zuo Ci and Yu Ji, the former is most famous in the novel for the episode "Tease Cao Cao", in which he alone made the entire Cao camp run around in circles.

Yu Ji presided over Sun Jian's funeral, and after Sun Jian's death, he ruled Jiangdong for a period of time.

In the end, because the people of Jiangdong only knew to worship the immortal master but did not know who the lord of Jiangdong was, they were killed by Sun Ce. Sun Ce was also cursed and died of a serious illness not long after.

"Who is coming to eliminate the demon this time?" Ji Hao asked.

"It was Yu Ji, one of the three immortals. Mr. Qiao spent a lot of money and asked for favors from many people before he agreed to come!" Zhou Yu said excitedly, "An immortal subdued a demon! This is something that only happens once in a century, but we are lucky enough to encounter it!"

At this time, he was not even twenty years old, and was not the steady and prudent commander-in-chief of Eastern Wu later on.

Instead, he looks like a star-chasing boy.

Of course, Zhou Yu was not very steady later on, otherwise he would not have been angry to death.

But it has to be said that the matter of "immortals subduing demons" is indeed very interesting. Even Ji Hao was very curious after hearing about it. What kind of method would Yu Ji use to subdue demons?

There is indeed magic in this world, it is not completely groundless.

But the power of the spell is...

When Zhang Jue scattered beans to create an army of "Yellow Turban Warriors", they all had to prepare a real weapon. The weapon could be used to kill people, but once the Yellow Turban Warriors themselves were attacked, their spells would be broken on the spot.

He is also afraid of water, thunder, and smoke. Almost everything on his body has weaknesses.

Ordinary people may be afraid, but for the top warriors who have long since ceased to be human, it is just a trivial skill.

In addition, Hua Tuo also had the ability to "open the skull". He could split someone's head with an axe and then put it back intact - that was also passed down as magic, but Ji Hao knew that he was just an expert in medicine.

Therefore, he was very interested in Yu Ji's story of subduing demons.

"Let's take a look together." The immortal master's pomp and circumstance was naturally completely different from that of Ji Hao, Zhou Yu and other people who sneaked in under false names: from a distance, before Yu Ji himself was seen, the guard of honor had already arrived at the gate of the Qiao family.

There were crowds of people following and it was very lively and bustling.

Mr. Qiao went out to greet him personally. An old man with white hair and beard walked out of the sedan chair slowly with the help of his disciples. He bowed and said, "Old Taoist Yu Ji, greetings to Mr. Qiao!"

Yu Ji naturally didn't dare to act arrogantly in front of the leader of such a noble family.

It's a ceremony for equals.

It's true, judging from his appearance alone, Yu Ji can really be called an "old immortal", with white hair and a youthful face, and in terms of sufficient energy and blood, he is even comparable to young people.

Ji Hao even suspected that even at his age, he still had the ability to have sex multiple times a night.

However, although Mr. Qiao also offered a singing girl, Yu Ji seemed to be not interested in women and did not let her get close to him. He did not waste too much time and said at the welcoming banquet: "Have you prepared everything?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Qiao had his men bring out a rope soaked in black dog blood and a stack of yellow talisman paper made from crushed peach wood.

There is also cinnabar, a brush, and a special sword.

It looks very realistic and really does look like a god.

However, when he saw Yu Ji casting the spell, Ji Hao couldn't help but smile: drawing talismans was all well and good, but when he was casting the spell, there was a show of "talisman paper spontaneously combusting", and Ji Hao even saw the phosphorus powder he sprinkled on it.

Obviously, this "casting" is a lie.

No matter how weak Zhang Jue was, at least he could really turn beans into soldiers. However, this guy's "Samadhi True Fire" was just a juggling act.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Ji performed another trick of fishing money out of the frying pan - this time, even Zhou Yu showed an embarrassed look on his face.

Said to Ji Hao: "I just came to join in the fun, not to see the Immortal Master."

It was obvious that Zhou Yu knew this trick.

I originally believed that there really were immortals in this world, and I wanted to see their true appearance. I even thought that this matter could be recorded in history books, just like when Xu Fu crossed the sea to the east.

But unexpectedly, what I saw was a circus.

His idol was shattered, and for a moment, Zhou Yu felt embarrassed and a little lost.

Sun Ce was watching with great interest. While watching, he said to Ji Hao: "Brother Chengtian's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, but I guess you can't do these things, right?"

Ji Hao: “…”

Zhou Yu, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly explained the principle to Sun Ce, who was stunned by what he said.

"Isn't this a lie?"

Immediately, he was about to stand up to teach Yu Ji a lesson, but Ji Hao grabbed him and pressed him down on the chair.

"Why are you stopping me?" Sun Ce asked in confusion.

"Although the immortal master is fake, the demon horse is real. Don't you want to see the good show next?" Ji Hao said with a smirk.

This surprised both Zhou Yu and Sun Ce.

If the immortal master is fake, how can the demon horse be real?
"Anything that is abnormal is a demon. That horse is an extremely abnormal individual among horses. Like Red Hare, it is also a top-notch horse." Ji Hao said, "However, Red Hare's abnormality is that it is as fast as lightning, while that horse's abnormality is that it eats meat and has a personality like a tiger or wolf!"
