After Guan Yu's soul left Yuyi Camp, he wandered towards Jingzhou and stopped at a place. It was a mountain in Dangyang County, Jingzhou, named Yuquan Mountain. There lived an old monk named Pujing on the mountain. , turned out to be the elder of the Guo Temple in Bishuiguan. Later, due to the constant wars, he traveled around the world and came to the relatively stable Jingzhou. Seeing the beautiful scenery here, he rebuilt a temple and sat in meditation every day. There was a very old man beside him. Young practitioners solve the problem of eating through alms. The moon was white and the wind was clear, and after the third watch, Pujing was sitting silently in the nunnery. Suddenly, a wisp of soul appeared in the air, shouting: "Give me my head back!"
Pujing looked up and saw only one person in the air, riding a red rabbit horse and holding a Qinglong Yanyue Sword. There was a white-faced general on the left and a black-faced man with a beard on the right. They all landed in the clouds and arrived at the top of Yuquan Mountain.
Pujing knew that the man was Guan Yu, so he struck him with his tail and said, "General Guan Yu!"
When Guan Yu's soul heard this voice, he immediately had an epiphany. He quickly dismounted and landed in front of him. He crossed his hands and asked, "Where is the master from? I hope I can know your name."
Pujing said: "I am Pujing. I met you once before at the Zhenguo Temple in Bishuiguan. Did you forget to see me again today?"
Guan Yu nodded and said: "Thank you for saving me, and never forget it. Now I have encountered disaster. I died with hatred, and my soul is still there. I hope you can show me where I am lost."
Pujing said: "No matter the merits or demerits, let's not talk anymore. The causes and consequences are all the cycle of heaven. Now the general is harmed by Lu Mengsui, and he is shouting to give me my head back, but Yan Liang and Wen Chou who were killed by you, and you The six generals who passed the five passes and were killed, who should I turn to for their heads?"
As the saying goes, when is the time to retaliate? Guan Yu visited Yu Yi in the early stage and felt much relieved. When he went to Yuquan Mountain, he received the guidance of the eminent monk. He remembered all the events and glorious history in his life. He finally had a sudden enlightenment and took refuge in Yuquan Mountain. Later, Guan Yu's spirit often appeared in Yuquan Mountain to protect the local people. The people were grateful for his kindness and built a larger temple on the top of the mountain, where they came to worship every season.
Sun Quan ordered the execution of Guan Yu and his son, captured Maicheng, hid all the land in Jingzhou, rewarded the three armies, held a large banquet to celebrate the generals, pushed Lu Meng to a high position, and said to everyone: "I have wanted to get Jingzhou for a long time, but I have never been able to find a way. Now Jingzhou's arrival is all because of Lu Meng's contribution."
After hearing this, Lu Meng thanked him again and again, and Sun Quan continued: "Previously, Zhou Yu was so talented that he defeated Cao Cao's million-strong army at Chibi. Unfortunately, he died prematurely. Later, Lu Su came to replace him. When Lu Su saw me for the first time, he talked about the importance of the emperor. Hegemony, this is the first advantage. When Cao Cao attacked, everyone advised me to surrender directly. Only Lu Su persuaded me to recruit Zhou Yu to discuss counterattack against Cao Cao, and we won. This is the second advantage. Only Lu Su advised me to surrender. Jingzhou was lent to Liu Bei, which was a shortcoming. Now Lu Meng has devised a strategy and captured Jingzhou, which is much more powerful than Lu Su and Zhou Yu!"
So he personally gave the wine to Lu Meng. Lu Meng took the wine glass and was about to drink it. Suddenly he threw the wine glass on the ground, grabbed Sun Quan with one hand, and cursed: "Blue-eyed boy! Purple-bearded rat! Do you still recognize me!"
Everyone was very surprised. When they rushed to save him, Lu Meng had already pushed Sun Quan down, strode forward, and sat on Sun Quan's seat. His eyebrows were raised, his eyes were wide open, and he shouted: "Since I defeated the Yellow Turban Army, I have been fighting all the enemies. The world has been around for more than thirty years, and now you are harming it with your cunning tricks. I can’t eat your flesh alive, and I will chase your soul away even after you die. I am Guan Yu, the Hou Ting of the Han Dynasty!”
Sun Quan was very surprised and quickly led his soldiers, big and small, to kneel on the ground to worship. He only saw Lu Meng lying on the ground, bleeding to death from his seven orifices. Everyone was very frightened after seeing this.
Sun Quan buried Lü Meng's body and presented it to the governor of Nanjun, so that his son could inherit Lü Meng's title of marquis. Sun Quan also felt very regretful. The ferocity of Guan Yu's soul after his death surprised him.
It turned out that after Guan Yu's soul arrived at Yuquan Mountain, he was still unable to convert despite his great enlightenment. Pu Jing believed that Guan Yu still had resentment in his heart, so he could not convert, so he let him leave first.
So Guan Yu's soul drifted towards Jingzhou again, and happened to meet Sun Quan, Lu Meng and others, celebrating their victory in Jingzhou. So he was furious, rushed over, forcibly possessed Lu Meng's body, and cursed Sun Quan. After a pause, Lu Meng's soul was squeezed out at the same time, causing bleeding from the seven orifices. Only then did some of the resentment in his heart disappear and drift away.
After Yu Yi announced the news of his retreat, everyone was very surprised and talked a lot. Suddenly, they received a notice from Yu Yi about a meeting.
I happened to meet Lei Chunze and rushed back, so the participants were Huang Shumin, Lei Chunze, Huang Mochou and Xiaoli. As early as in Huangpu Village, Lei Chunze was arranged to send Yu Sisi and Yu Daye to a place in Xichuan, and both Ye Huatong and Wu Chenggong died in the battle with Guan Yu.
When everyone sat down, they saw Yu Yi with a white ribbon on his head. In front of him were the tablets enshrining Guan Yu, Wu Chenggong and Ye Huatong, and burning incense.
When Yu Yi saw everyone gathered, he turned around, bowed and said, "Today's meeting is to summarize the merits and demerits of the past period and discuss the target plan for the next stage."
After speaking, Yu Yi paused, glanced around, and continued: "Since the Daoxiang Village Uprising, we have got rid of Le Jin's attack, dealt with Sima Yi, and have been developing toward the southeast in an attempt to establish a base in Yunnan. However, the actual situation It’s complicated. In the end, we still need to rely on my eldest brother’s strength, because he is the emperor’s uncle of the Han Dynasty. Only under this banner will the people support us. Later, I settled my family in Huangpu Village, entered Jingzhou, and put down the rebellion in Jingzhou. With Kong Ming's wisdom, the eldest brother seized the land of the two rivers and finally established a three-legged situation, giving him the capital to compete with Cao Wei."
Having said this, Yu Yi's eyes quickly dimmed, and he pointed in the direction of Jingzhou and said: "But misfortune lies on the back of blessing; misfortune lies on the back of misfortune. Just when our career reached its peak, suddenly something happened in the east. Wu colluded with Cao Wei and planned a ruthless plot behind them, seizing the land of Jingzhou and killing my second brother and my wife. Unfortunately, Zou and Diao Chan also died tragically. Our partners Wu Chenggong and Ye Huatong He also died in Maicheng. There were accidental factors in all this, but more of it was human factors. Therefore, in order to take a good path in the future, we must reflect on the lessons learned this time and summarize the correct path for the future, otherwise we will repeat the same mistakes. "
Huang Mochou had never attended a meeting before, and felt Yu Yi's magnanimity, and finally understood why Huang Shumin and others followed him to the death.
