"Big news, big news. Liu Ji, one of the Liu brothers, committed suicide again today, this time by hanging. Still unsuccessful."
The newspaper boy shouted along the street.
Xianyang people immediately became interested and rushed to buy, and soon the newspapers in the hands of the newsboys were sold out.
The Liu Ji the newsboy mentioned was actually Xiang Yu.
After Xiang Yu came back from Neishi Mansion that day, he was so disheartened that he committed suicide countless times.
At first, he wanted to commit suicide with a sword, but was stopped by Xiang Xian and several others.
Later, all the swords around Xiang Yu were hidden, and he began to hang himself again.
People in Xianyang City now feel that Xiang Yu is performing, with endless new tricks emerging every day. They enjoyed watching it endlessly.
…………
"Nephew, why are you doing this?" Xiang Bo patiently enlightened Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu was tied to a wooden post, with his neck tied and silent.
Xiang Bo sighed: "Do you blame me for revealing your identity?"
Xiang Yu still didn't speak.
Xiang Bo said with an aggrieved look: "I told you a long time ago. His Majesty has known your identity for a long time. He has been banished to immortals for a long time and the court has also known for a long time."
"You think you are a rebel and you have great ambitions, but in fact they are all under the control of others. Every move you make, you think you are doing it wisely, is actually like a mirror in your mind."
Suddenly a vein appeared on Xiang Yu's forehead: "Uncle, do you know why I committed suicide?"
"I just feel that since I entered Xianyang City, all my actions have been like a clown. Every time I think about it, I feel shameless."
"Now we, now we actually live in Shangjun Courtyard, uncle, don't you really feel ashamed?"
Xiang Bo said: "Why should we be ashamed? The banished immortal is a good man. If it were not for the banished immortal, we would have died."
Xiang Yu yelled manically.
He had nothing to say to this shameless uncle.
Now Xiang Yu just wants to commit suicide, and all he can think about is escaping from this embarrassing world.
But...the body was tied to a pillar, and the pillar was wrapped in straw. How could one commit suicide?
He wanted to kill himself with his tongue, but Xiang Bo in front of him had quick eyes and quick hands and stuffed a numb core into Xiang Yu's mouth.
Xiang Yu: "Woooooooo..."
Uncle Xiang patted him on the shoulder: "Yu'er, listen to my uncle's words. If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. It's better to die than to live. You live and persevere, maybe one day in the future, our descendants You can feel proud..."
Xiang Yu wanted to die even more.
Xiang Bo was glared at by Xiang Yu. He was a little scared and came out with his head lowered.
Li Shui was waiting outside the door. He asked Bo Xiang, "How is it?"
Xiang Bo sighed and shook his head.
Li Shui said in confusion: "I really don't believe it."
Xiang Lizhu asked curiously from the side: "Why do you have to save this person? Are you really a spy sent by Xiang Liang?"
Li Shui: "..."
Damn it, why does this woman have such a good memory? This is an old joke that has been going on for many years, but he still remembers it?
Li Shui said sincerely: "My rescue of Xiang Yu has nothing to do with any of this. I am doing it for the common people of the world, the common people of Li."
Xiangli Zhu rolled his eyes and said quietly: "The people in the world are so pitiful. They have always been used as a shield by you."
Li Shui was about to cry: "Really."
Xianglizhu crossed his arms: "Then come and listen."
Li Shui said: "You know, Xiang Yu is not the only person in the world who wants to commit suicide. I don't know how many people commit suicide in Da Qin every year. Some poor people commit suicide, and some rich people commit suicide."
Xianglizhu frowned: "Then what?"
Li Shui said: "Life is priceless. If we can have a professional team to stop these people who have suicidal thoughts, wouldn't we be able to save their lives?"
"Now Xiang Yu has strong thoughts of committing suicide. And as far as I know, he is definitely not trying to scare people, he is serious about committing suicide."
"We will start with Xiang Yu now, organize a group of people, study and research, and form a set of feasible rules and regulations..."
Xiangli Zhu nodded and suddenly realized: "I understand. When Xiang Yu first came to Shangjun Courtyard in the past, you first used him to attract audiences to watch some of your selection contests, and made a lot of money."
"Later, I asked him to do endorsements and made a lot of money. Now he is going to die, and you have to study how to prevent suicide on him."
Xianglizhu looked amazed: "Huaiguzi, you can do it. You really didn't waste anything, you used everything."
Li Shuigan laughed: "Xiang Yu... his whole body is full of treasures."
While talking, Xiang Chao arrived.
Li Shui smiled and said, "Go and persuade Xiang Yu."
Xiang Chao responded respectfully and entered Xiang Yu's room.
Xiang Chao has been hit hard recently, and the disappointment in his heart is even worse than that of Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu was disappointed because he was so incompetent and was tricked by the immortals.
Xiang Chao was disappointed, and he was also disappointed that Xiang Yu was so incompetent that he was tricked by the immortals.
Xiang Chao has always felt that his Yu'er is unparalleled on earth and rare in the sky.
Suddenly, one day, I discovered that Xiang Yu was just a mortal. The banished immortals are the real heavenly beings.
This impact... is too great.
After Xiang Chao was hit hard, he had a strange psychological reaction.
Now he talks about it all day long: Giving birth to children should be like locust trees and millet.
Xiang Chao entered the hut upset and saw something blocked in Xiang Yu's mouth, so he took it out for him.
Xiang Yu was about to bite his tongue and commit suicide.
Xiang Chao stamped his feet and said, "Yu'er, how can you be so disappointing?"
Xiang Yu was stunned and completely confused.
His father actually talked to him with such an expression?
Xiang Yu has always been favored by Xiang Chao throughout his life.
At any time, Xiang Chao regards himself as the hope of the Xiang family.
But now...even his father is so disappointed in him?
Xiang Yu suddenly lost all hope and didn't even bother to commit suicide.
Xiang Yu committed suicide out of pride and anger. But now, he is so heartbroken that he is too lazy to commit suicide.
Xiang Chao sighed and said to Xiang Yu: "A man, how can you value your face so much?"
Xiang Yu: "..."
What is this nonsense? If a man doesn't value face, then what does he value?
Xiang Chao added: "Look at the people who banished them to immortals. They won't be burdened by these false names and have earned a huge family fortune."
When Xiang Yu heard this... he felt extremely sad.
Xiang Chao sighed and said to Xiang Yu: "Yu'er, just take care of yourself. What's the use of committing suicide? It's just a laughing stock. It's better to swallow your anger and do something good in the future, so as to erase today's humiliation."
Xiang Yu was slightly startled when he heard this.
People at this time attached great importance to their posthumous reputation.
Just as Xiang Chao said, Xiang Yu's suicide at this time must have been a joke.
What if he died after making great achievements? That makes a big difference.
Xiang Yu... was a little moved by Xiang Chao.
As a result, Xiang Chao plugged Xiang Yu's mouth again, shook his head and sighed, and walked out casually.
What he said just now was not intended to advise Xiang Yu at all, it was more like he was complaining to himself.
When Xiang Chao was about to go out, he was so desperate that he muttered to himself: Giving birth to children should be like locust trees and millet.
When Xiang Yu heard this, he had the idea of committing suicide again.
After Xiang Chao came out, Li Shui asked: "What happened?"
Xiang Chao shook his head: "It still doesn't work?"
Li Shui said helplessly: "It seems that Xiang Yu can't be persuaded."
He looked at Xiangli Zhu beside him: "Do you want to try it?"
Xiangli Zhu chuckled: "Someone once said that I am sarcastic, aren't you afraid that I will kill Xiang Yu?"
Li Shuiqian laughed: "Who is so blind and says you are mean and mean?"
Xianglizhu snorted: "I don't know who is so blind." Then he turned and walked away.
Li Shui scratched his head: "Is it me? I don't remember."
At this time, Cang Fu came over excitedly: "Exiled Immortal, I'm so happy, so happy."
Li Shui said: "Isn't my big day still a few days away?"
Cano said: "It's not the great joy, it's me who invited Master Tripitaka here."
Li Shui said: "Then I have to greet you personally."
Master Tripitaka is Wang Ben’s dharma name.
It was also given by Li Shui.
When Li Shui named Hu Hai Bajie, the people felt a little strange because the name... was a bit like a character in Journey to the West.
Some people think it is a coincidence, and some people have a hard time saying that there are eight precepts in Buddhism, and the name Eight Precepts is actually very good.
Just because someone is named Zhang San in the book, everyone can't call him that name, right?
When these people finally figured out their logic, Ban Xian gave Wang Ben the title of Tripitaka Master.
This time it’s better, the stone hammer is gone, Banishing the Immortal is inspired by Journey to the West.
However, Wang Ben happily accepted the title.
Li Shui put on his armor and met Wang Ben accompanied by a craftsman.
There is no way, Wang Ben used to be a general, and although he is now a monk, his foundation is still there after all.
What if his usual indifference is just an act?
What if he still harbors hatred?
We have to guard against this, be careful when sailing a ship that lasts forever.
When Li Shui saw Wang Ben, Wang Ben smiled slightly and said, "If you banish an immortal in your own palace, do you still need to wear armor?"
Li Shui coughed dryly: "The Qin Dynasty built its country on farming. This martial spirit cannot be discarded at any time. I am setting an example for the world."
Wang Ben smiled: "That's it."
Then he asked Li Shui: "Excuse me, where is Xiang Yu?"
Li Shui pointed to a room and said, "It's right there, please."
Two craftsmen accompanied Wang Ben in.
Wang Ben is a guilty minister. And Xiang Yu is a rebel.
Although Wang Ben had great affection for Da Qin and would not rebel, he had to guard against it. If these two people join forces, things will be big.
So the two craftsmen followed in, bringing recording equipment with them.
The entire conversation between the two of them will be recorded, and will be played back afterwards to be checked by a dedicated person for any code words.
This conversation lasted for two hours.
Two hours later, Wang Ben came out and smiled at Li Shui: "Exiled Immortal, do you have a razor here?"
Li Shui said: "Of course there is. But...what do you want a razor for?"
Wang Ben smiled and said: "Xiang Yu has given up on committing suicide. He also begged me to be tonsured and convert to Buddhism."
Li Shui: "..."
Awesome, has this developed into a believer?
Li Shui immediately ordered someone to bring a razor.
Just when Wang Ben was ordaining Xiang Yu, there was a noise not far away.
Li Shui raised his telescope and took a look and found that Li Xin was beating Li Yi.
Li Shui asked Cang Fu next to him helplessly: "What's going on?"
Cang Fu said: "Li Yi overslept today. We need to prevent Xiang Yu from committing suicide. Li Yi did not notify General Li, so General Li did not see the excitement, so he was very angry."
Li Shui: "..."
Is there anyone in the world who loves to watch the excitement?
Li Xin hit Li Yi twice, then walked over quickly and asked Li Shui: "How is it? Does Xiang Yu still want to commit suicide?"
Li Shui said: "I have been persuaded to stop."
Li Xin was immediately disappointed.
Li Shui smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, we have a recording here, just listen to the recording."
So Li Xin carried the recording equipment into a small room and started listening to the recording...
Aangfu said worriedly: "Sir, I don't know whether this ordination is true or not. He won't pretend to be a monk and then do something secretly, right?"
Li Shui smiled: "It doesn't matter, I will send someone to keep an eye on him."
After Xiang Yu was ordained, he did not go to the White Horse Temple, but stayed at Shangjun Villa.
Wang Ben came every five days to teach Xiang Yu Buddhism.
Since then, Xiang Yu has never thought of committing suicide again.
Li Shui compiled their conversations into a guide to preventing suicide.
It contains clichés on how to comfort those who commit suicide.
…………
In Northern Xinjiang, Liu Ji and others each had a suicide prevention guide in their hands and read it shivering in the wind and snow.
Liu Ji, Fan Kuai, Lu Wan, and other younger brothers were all found guilty. Dispatched to Northern Xinjiang.
Originally, they falsely accused the immortals and sold fake goods, so the punishment was not so severe.
But Liu Ji's sword made almost all the nobles in Xianyang lose face.
So with their intervention, Liu Ji and others were sent here.
This place is freezing all year round, and Liu Ji and others, together with other prisoners, mine minerals here.
There is really no end to these days.
So the Suicide Prevention Guide became their favorite book to read. Only this book can give them spiritual comfort.
"Those who commit suicide will remain in the Abi Hell forever, roasted by the fire of karma, and will not be reincarnated."
"A person who commits suicide forgets his father's kindness and is unfaithful and unfilial. How is he any different from an animal?"
"Suffering in this life is the accumulation of blessings. In the next life, you can serve as an official and slaughter, and enjoy great happiness."
Liu Ji became more and more excited as he read it, and nodded with satisfaction: "Oh, this is so well written."
Fan Kuai blinked at the side and asked: "Brother, I don't quite understand. It is said here that people who serve as officials in this life will suffer in the next life, and people who suffer in this life will become officials in the next life."
"In this way, aren't we just going to suffer and enjoy happiness in the same life? Going up and down like this, all the time... it feels weird. It doesn't feel like... it's real."
Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, then suddenly hit Fan Kuai on the head with a book: "Shut up, shut up. We still need to rely on this book to survive."
