984 can't let go
After a few days, Maicheng Taishou Zhao Ti arrived in Chengdu and brought the bad news of Guan Yu's fall! This is a reality that no one can face calmly, and there is a lot of sadness.
Liu Bei was very sad, but he wanted to cry without tears, and said in a daze: "Lonely and Guan, Zhang's second brother Taoyuan are righteous, and they swear to live and die together. ”
After speaking, Liu Bei pulled out the saber at his waist and slashed at his neck, wanting to kill himself, everyone was shocked and desperately snatched the saber. Liu Bei seemed to be crazy, struggling desperately, shouting in his mouth, let Gu die, let Gu die!
Everyone knelt down and begged with tears: "Forget the Lord's Day and mourn!" If General Yun Chang has a spirit in the sky, he doesn't want the lord to be like this! ”
Liu Bei was stunned again, and suddenly looked up to the sky and let out a long wail, stroked his chest and shouted, Yun Chang, he is a brother, he is a brother!
Yes!
Liu Bei's accumulated tears finally burst out of the embankment, beat his chest, cried and fainted several times, and was woken up several times, the water and rice did not enter, he couldn't sleep at night, his temples were stained by frost, and he was extremely haggard.
Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and the others persuaded each other, and Liu Bei finally recovered some of his spirits, pointed to the east, and scolded angrily: "Blue-eyed children and grandchildren, Lone and you swear that the sun and moon are different, and I will definitely take revenge on my second brother!" ”
Liu Bei immediately ordered to mobilize all the troops and horses to conquer Sun Quan in the east.
Zhuge Liang hurriedly dissuaded, saying that the current shortage of food and grass was by no means a good time to crusade against Jiangdong, Liu Bei did not listen at all, and wanted revenge.
Fa Zheng also stepped forward to dissuade him, and after repeated and begging, Liu Bei temporarily gave up the idea of crusading against Jiangdong.
Guan Xing learned of the death of his father and brother, and he also cried darkly, and Liu Bei appointed him as a supervisor to appease him.
Zhao Yun met Zhao Lei and had already led the army back to Chengdu, he just cried silently, locked himself in the mansion, and couldn't get out of his illness.
The Chengdu Mansion never stopped crying for several days and nights, and Zhang Fei, who was guarding here, heard the news of his second brother's death, and was so sad that he cried for several days until the corners of his eyes dried up, and the grief in his chest still could not be released, so he had to sleep peacefully with the help of drunkenness.
Subsequently, Zhang Fei came to Chengdu to pay tribute to Guan Yu together.
Liu Bei personally went to the south gate of Chengdu, presided over the conjuring ceremony of Guan Yu, established a mound and worship ancestral hall, incense offerings, Chengdu up and down the army and civilians, all dressed in linen and filial piety, crying endlessly.
Today, Guan Yu has three cemeteries and ancestral halls, namely Luoyang, Dangyang and Chengdu, folk say, Guan Erye rests his head in Luoyang, lies in Dangyang, and his soul returns to his hometown, the first person in the world!
Liu Feng, who was in prison, also heard that Guan Yu had fallen, and he didn't think about tea and dinner, and he was lonely. The jailers hated Liu Feng deeply, and the scraps were cold and sneering.
Liu Feng was humiliated and humiliated, silent, just as God's punishment for himself, hoping to see his father again, repent in person, and make up for his mistakes in the future.
Not all mistakes can be forgiven, on this day, the jailer sent Liu Feng two things, a large piece of beef, but it was raw, and the other was a sharp short knife.
Liu Feng burst into tears, and finally understood that his limit had arrived, which was clearly to let him die! Liu Feng cried bitterly for a long time, worshiped his father in prison, and cut off a piece of raw beef with trembling hands and chewed it slowly in his mouth, which tasted like chewing wax.
The pain of the second brother's death continued, and Liu Bei heard another bad news, Liu Feng committed suicide in prison, and his face suddenly turned blue. scolded the rebel son for deserving it, but with Guan Yu's excuse, Liu Bei cried again.
How miserable it is for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person!
Later, I heard that Liu Feng committed suicide with a short knife, but Liu Bei secretly ordered someone to investigate, and the results soon came out. The meat and short knife were sent by Zhuge Liang.
Liu Bei was extremely annoyed, but he couldn't find fault with Zhuge Liang, so he could only swallow this sulk.
After Zhao Lei came to Chengdu, he told Wang Baoyu about Wang Baoyu's fearlessness of danger and risking death to save Guan Yu, although it did not succeed in the end, but this friendship moved everyone.
Ma Zhong, who killed Guan Yu, was then sent over, which further proved Wang Baoyu's true feelings for Guan Yu. Liu Bei, who had been preparing for life and death, finally came to his senses and sighed sincerely: "Baoyu, eldest brother really shouldn't doubt you!" ”
Ma Zhong was slashed by a knife, and the screams were endless, and Guan Yu was sacrificed, which calmed everyone down a lot. The Qinglong Yanyue Knife returned to Guan Xing, because Guan Xing's appearance was very similar to his father, and he was known as Little Guan Yu.
Mi Fang lost Nanjun and surrendered to Sun Quan, which indirectly caused Guan Yu's death, which was difficult for his brother Mi Zhu to accept, and he tied himself up to see Liu Bei and pleaded with death to apologize.
Liu Bei did not blame Mi Zhu, but was kind and relieved, and still treated him as before. But Mi Zhu couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart, sighed every day, was ashamed to see people, and died of illness at home a few months later.
Although Guan Yu died, he was afraid that the number of people who went to Huangquan because of his order would be too many to count.
Liu Bei thought about it again and again, but still sent a letter to Wang Baoyu and expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart. Once again, he emphasized that he is also getting older, and he attaches more and more importance to the bond between brothers, and he will never lose each other.
Wang Baoyu scoffed at Liu Bei's letter, he had feelings for Guan Yu, which did not mean that Liu Bei could be forgiven for this, and he did not reply to the letter and ignored it.
The Yiling gradually returned to peace, and commerce and trade became more prosperous than before. But Wang Baoyu's mood never cleared up, he was depressed, and he didn't smile all day.
Everyone was very worried about this, but they didn't know how to persuade each other, so they could only wait quietly for time to smooth out the scar on Wang Baoyu's heart.
Just the day before Wang Baoyu set out to conquer Maicheng, the seventh-level Futu Pagoda had been built, but Wang Baoyu was not in the mood to see it until now, and on this day, he unexpectedly received a letter from Master Hongjing, inviting him to visit and talk.
Wang Baoyu happened to be bored and wanted to go out for a walk, so he called a carriage and went to visit the seventh-level Futu Pagoda alone.
The whole tower area covers an area of one hectare, which is a big deal in the Yiling Tomb, where the land is expensive. In the middle, a floating pagoda smeared with gold dust is resplendent and particularly eye-catching.
The tower is 36 meters high, octagonal attic structure, all hang pure gold bells, the gentle wind blows, although it is not as crisp as the copper bell, but it is a long aftersound, which is alarming. The Arhat relief carving in the Buddha shrine inlaid on the tower wall, the carvings such as cranes, lions and so on are more like floating clouds, there are bells and drum towers on both sides of the tower to contrast with each other, showing the state of the stars holding the moon, the more quiet and solemn.
Wang Baoyu frowned slightly, just looking at it from the outside, he knew that the cost of this Futu Tower was beyond his budget, this Hongjing wouldn't be taking advantage of his absence in Yiling to squander it, right?
Walk into the tower, the tower body is surrounded by pure copper reliefs, depicting the Buddhist practice stories of the three Buddhas and the four Bodhisattvas, which are vivid and exquisite.
From time to time, there are good men and women who go up and down along the stone stairs in the tower, all of them are full of piety, because the tower enshrines the bronze statues of Shakyamuni, Amitabha and other Buddhas and Arhats, which are very complete.
Therefore, the people of Yiling City and the surrounding areas often come to worship, and they can find the owner of the incense stick when they ask for money and medical treatment, and the incense is very prosperous.
