Synopsis

During the Three Kingdoms era, Cao Cao led his army across the Yangtze to attack Wu. On the winter solstice, a night wind suddenly blew from the east, and the Battle of Red Cliffs ended in flames and a crushing defeat for Cao Cao.

Where did the east wind come from?

People of the time joked that it was the work of Zhuge Liang, the Shu chancellor, who had performed a sword dance atop the Seven-Star Altar to summon the wind.

Laozi said: “When the superior hear of the Way, they diligently practice it. When those in the middle hear of it, they seem to remember it and then forget it. When the inferior hear of it, they laugh aloud. If they did not laugh, it would not be the Way.”

Perhaps the Way is hidden in the things people mock, disdain, and look down upon.

Thus Zhuangzi said: “The Way is in piss and shit.”

This book tells of events in an ancient virtual game.

Su Ke is a thief, the greatest thief of the Grand Way. The methods he uses often make ordinary people laugh or look down on him. But he has always been the one who laughs last. Group number: 342195191
