Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 268 Another "person from the future"! (Thanks to Xing, Disappearing Does Not Mean Death for the monthly ticket support~)
Lu Bu took off the dragon tongue bow on his back, drew the bow and put the arrow on it, aimed directly at the crow, and prepared to shoot it!

But just when the string was about to be released, the crow suddenly tilted its head, revealing a seemingly innocent expression.

In an instant, Lu Bu suddenly felt a little compassion, so he slowly put down the bow and arrow in his hand.

It was this action that caused the crow to fly down and land directly on his shoulder.

It pecked his face lightly with its sharp beak and flew straight to his right.

Seeing that Lu Bu did not follow, it fell to the ground, turned around and called "Ga Ga" twice at him.

Lu Bu suddenly realized that the crow seemed to be leading the way for him, so he immediately headed in the direction indicated by the crow.

Soon, the man and the bird passed through the hemlock forest and came to a small manor!
It is called a manor, but in fact it is just three or four thatched houses.

It is surrounded by fences, with a vegetable garden in the front yard and a mulberry forest in the back yard.

There is also a clear pond next to it, reflecting the red glow of the setting sun.

An ordinary-looking old farmer is picking winter mulberry leaves in the backyard.

When the old farmer heard the footsteps outside the fence, he was not surprised, and he didn't even look at Lu Bu. He just laughed happily and said:
"It seems that Lord Chu and I have a great affinity, as he was able to pass through the [Eight Wonders Formation] that I set up."

"Eight Wonderous Formations?!"

There was a look of realization in Lu Bu's eyes.

No wonder they couldn’t find Shuijing Manor after searching for a whole day. It turned out that it was affected by the formation.

The "Eight Formations" method created by Feng Hou is indeed extremely mysterious!
Lu Bu immediately bowed to the old man:
"I guess you are Mr. Shuijing—Sima Hui, right?"

Sima Hui waved his hand casually:

"I am just a country bumpkin, and the Water Mirror is just an empty title.

"Compared to a hero in troubled times like Lord Chu, it's nothing."

Seeing Sima Hui being so humble, Lu Bu couldn't help but laugh:
"Sir, you are too modest. This 'Eight Wonderous Formations' alone is enough to make me the best among all the heroes!
“Not to mention that you are also proficient in Qimen and Confucian classics.

"Any little thing is enough to make all the heroes in the world pale in comparison!

"It's just that you are too low-key, so your reputation is not well-known."

Sima Hui stopped picking mulberry leaves and looked at the nine-foot-tall, handsome man with great interest:
"Mr. Chu seems to know me quite well?"

Looking at Sima Hui's eyes that seemed to see through everything, Lu Bu felt a little nervous, but he pretended to smile calmly and said:

"Mr. Shuijing is the most famous scholar in the world. The great talents of the time, such as Wolong and Fengchu, have all visited you.

"I have naturally heard a little about your deeds."

Seeing that Lü Bu was hiding something, Sima Hui didn't care and just said calmly:

"I know that the purpose of your coming here is just to be a villager in the mountains, and I am used to being at ease.

“I don’t like dealing with generals and advisers, and I don’t like intrigues with the enemy.

"To enjoy the beauty of the mountains and rivers and live as long as the heaven and earth is my lifelong wish. I hope the general will fulfill it!"

I was rejected by the other party before I even opened my mouth.

Lu Bu was increasingly surprised at the other party's strength, and even guessed the purpose of his coming.

Are all people who know Qi Men Dun Jia so good at fortune-telling?

However, Lu Bu naturally didn't want to make such a wasted trip, so he still requested:
"In the past, Jiang Taigong was fishing on the bank of the Wei River in his old age. He was caught by King Wen and later helped King Wu defeat King Zhou and eventually unified the world!
“Sir, you are much younger than Jiang Taigong, but you have abilities comparable to him.

"If you can't show your ability, wouldn't it be a waste of all your years of learning?"

Sima Hui put down the dustpan in his hand, poured a cup of hot tea on the small table in the backyard, and handed it to Lu Bu:
"I am not qualified to be compared with Jiang Taigong.

"I studied Fenghou Qimen and the Six Classics, but it was just for my own interest and I never had the intention of entering the government and fighting with others.

“Learning can calm one’s mind and improve the quality of one’s learning, but it is not necessary to show off what one has learned to the world, as that would only make one look inferior.

“If he had as great ambitions as that kid named Wolong, he would not have missed such an opportunity.

"But I really have no intention of entering the government, so please drink your tea and leave."

Seeing that Sima Hui was unwilling to work for him no matter how he persuaded him, Lu Bu could only sigh:
"Without your help, I wonder how many more years the people of the world would have to suffer..."

Seeing Lü Bu's frustrated expression, Sima Hui asked with interest, "Since the Duke of Chu knows the suffering of the people, why does he keep waging war?

"Wouldn't it be easier to prevent the people of the world from suffering if we peacefully develop with other princes or continue to support the Han Dynasty?"

Lu Bu shook his head:

“Even if I don’t start a war, someone else will take the initiative to attack me.

“As for assisting the Han Dynasty… the current Han Dynasty has too many loopholes in its system.

“Even if Liu Xie reunifies the country, the lives of the lower-class people will not improve at all, and they will continue to be exploited by the upper class.

"The most important thing is that if you can't control your destiny,

"Then I and my family will not be able to guarantee our own safety in this chaotic world.

"If I can't even protect my family, how can I protect the people of the world?"

After hearing Lu Bu's answer, Sima Hui fell silent.

Perhaps he was touched by Lu Bu's words. After a moment, he suddenly bowed to Lu Bu and said:

"Mr. Chu has come from afar and was able to pass through the Eight Formations. I have a great affinity with him.

"Please wait for a moment, Mr. Chu. I have a gift for you that may be of help to you!"

Under Lu Bu's surprised gaze, Sima Hui returned to the wooden house, and after a moment he took out a scroll of pictures and handed it to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu took the atlas and asked with great anticipation:

"This is……"

"This is the method to break the Eight Array Diagram!"

"!!!"

Lu Bu’s eyes widened instantly!

When Sima Hui mentioned the "Eight Formations" just now, Lu Bu thought of the "Eight Formations Diagram" created by Zhuge Liang based on the "Eight Formations".

In the future on the battlefield, Zhuge Liang will definitely use this formation to fight against him.

Although he had a father-in-law Huang Chengyan who could recognize the Eight Diagrams Formation, he also guided Lu Xun out of the Eight Diagrams Formation set up by Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

But it is just a way out, not a solution.

And now Sima Hui actually gave me the method to crack the Eight Array Diagram...

He knew what this meant, and immediately bowed deeply to Sima Hui:
"I have obtained this method to break the formation, and I will repay you with all my heart!"

Sima Hui stroked his beard and said something that shocked Lu Bu:

"You are indeed aware of this never-before-seen Eight Diagrams... It seems that what Kong Ming said is true."

Lu Bu's heart trembled violently!
Oops!

In the excitement, I forgot that not many people knew about the Eight Diagrams Formation created by Zhuge Liang at that time.

Moreover, the other party actually called Zhuge Liang "Kong Ming"...

You know, Zhuge Liang is only fifteen years old now, not yet old enough to take a name.

But the other party already knew Zhuge Liang's future name...

As expected, people who are proficient in Qimen Dunjia can more or less predict the future, and even know Lu Bu’s true identity!

Seeing that Lü Bu was so shocked that he couldn't speak, Sima Hui laughed:
"Don't be nervous, Lord Chu. The world is so big that nothing is impossible.

"Back then, after coming to power, Duke Anhan Wang Mang implemented many policies that went far beyond common sense.

“From this, we can guess that he is most likely a ‘man of later times’ just like Lord Chu!
“And Lord Chu, you are the second person to be awarded the title of Duke after Wang Mang.

“There may be some connection between them…

“But I hope Lord Chu can learn from Lord Anhan’s experience and realize that every era has its limitations.

"Some things can only be achieved step by step, and cannot be achieved overnight..."
