Bio
Zuo Ci studied his knowledge at the top of Mount Tianzhu. He mastered the alchemy of medicine, confucianism, and astrology. Before the year 200, a war leader named Sun Ce (who was a devout follower of Confucianism) wanted to kill Zuo Ci and chase him by riding a horse. Zuo Ci who does not ride a horse can still escape even though he is seen walking slowly.

Later Zuo Ci came to Cao Cao and showed his magical abilities, such as winning a stranger fish from an empty pot or teleporting to buy ginger. Zuo Ci once fed the assembly at the palace, but Cao Cao later found out that Zuo Ci had emptied every wine shop in the area with his magic. Cao Cao tried to execute Zuo Ci, but Zuo escaped by walking past the wall. When the report shows that Zuo Ci is in the market, everyone in the market becomes visible like Zuo Ci. There are other reports that he is on the top of the mountain, but Cao Cao and his troops can not find Zuo Ci because he is hidden among the flocks of sheep. Cao Cao knew that he would not be able to find Zuo Ci, so he shouted that he just wanted to test Zuo Ci's ability and did not want to kill him. At that moment, a goat stood up and spoke. Cao Cao's army came to the goat, but it turned out that other flocks also turned into goats that began to stand and talk like a human. Since then Zuo Ci has never been found again.
