med into two cranes that rose into the sky and flew away。 Zhao Yang came back home and told what he had seen。 Guan Lu told him the red…robed man was the Southern Dipper Constellation; and the white…robed; the Northern Dipper。

〃But the Northern Dipper consists of nine stars; and there was only one man; objected the lad。

〃Separately they are nine; but they bine to form one。 The Northern Dipper records deaths; the Southern Dipper; births。 Now the extra figure has been added; you need have no anxiety。 You will live long。

〃Father and son both thanked him most sincerely; but thereafter Guan Lu was very careful how he divined for people lest he should betray celestial secrets。

〃Now; this man is at Pingyuan; and you; O Prince; can seek your fate of him。 Why not call him?〃

Cao Cao was greatly glad。 Guan Lu was sent for and came。 As soon as the salutations were over; Cao Cao asked him to cast lots for him。

Guan Lu at once found the cause and said; 〃Your illness is only due to magical machinations。 It should not create anxiety。〃

Cao Cao was much relieved in his mind; and his health began to improve。 Next Cao Cao wished to know about the conditions in the empires affairs。

After the necessary calculations the prophet said:

〃Three and eight cross;

Where the army halt;

The yellow boar meets the tiger;

It causes the loss of one limb。〃

Then Cao Cao asked him to inquire whether his life should be long or not。

Guan Lu replied:

〃In the Lion Palace

The talents of ancestors are preserved。

The Princes way is securely renewed;

And his son and grandson shall e to high honor。〃

Then Cao Cao asked concerning himself。

〃Divination concerning the fate of the universe may not be foreknown。 Wait a time and I will look into it。〃

Cao Cao was pleased and would like to keep such a man near him; so he offered him the post of Historiographer (who was also soothsayer) at his court; but it was declined。

〃My destiny is mean; my luck despicable。 I am not equal to such an office and dare not undertake it;〃 said Guan Lu。

〃Why not?〃 said Cao Cao。

〃My forehead has no lofty fullness; my eyes no steady expression; my nose no bridge; my feet no round; solid heels; my back lacks the triple armor (of shoulder blades and intervening muscles); and my breast the three marks (like the character indicating wealth)。 I can only control evil spirits securely; I cannot rule living humans。〃

〃What think you of my physiognomy?〃

〃What can a minister of extremely exalted rank like yourself desire further?〃 said Guan Lu。

Cao Cao pressed him to say。 The soothsayer only laughed。 Then Cao Cao asked him to look at the many officers of all kinds standing around。

〃Everyone of them is a servant equal to the administration of the empire;〃 said Guan Lu。
