Upon the mystic mountain did live a mystic man, who would waste all his free time harassing random officers. The so-called Zuo Ci would pick his target by rolling marked steamed buns down the hill, seeing which ones Xu Chu found and ate, converting the result into binary, then selecting an officer from the official chart. One such target was the braggadocious Zhang Fei. Zuo Ci teased the drunkard with simple riddles. Zhang Fei struck down the pesky hermit, but he soon realised that it was a trick, and he had only killed Hua Xiong.
