Chapter 353: Destroying the Lion
"Chang Yun..." Seeing Liu Yi being helped in by several officials from the yamen office, Liu Bei suddenly said with a loss of regret: "Do you know that after he settled down in Shuzhong, he had become suspicious of Bo Yuan for his brother. I think Bo Yuan must have noticed it at that time, and took the initiative to give up the opportunity to stay in Shuzhong and returned to Jingzhou alone. Now I want to come... I feel ashamed of him!"
Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei for some reason. Although he was arrogant, he was also familiar with the Spring and Autumn Period. With Liu Yi's momentum and merits at that time, it would be strange if Liu Bei had no idea in his mind, right?
But for some reason, Guan Yu felt a little unspeakable when he heard Liu Bei say this: "Brother, now I think about it. In fact, Yu has been in Jingzhou for many years and has almost lost Jingzhou, causing a big mistake. Mi Fang... is his brother-in-law, but his brother-in-law scolded him in every possible way. If it weren't for Bo Yuan's mediation, the result at that time would be not as good as it is now. I'm guilty!"
"It's no wonder Yun Chang is this matter. In fact, when my brother was in Xuzhou..."
The craftsmen and workers around him looked strange and then they became a little scared. What were the two masters doing? Will they lose their heads after hearing this?
In an instant, everyone quickly dispersed. In fact, many people felt guilty about the past. However, when they were alive, they didn't care about repentance here and left one after another. In a blink of an eye, Liu Bei and Guan Yu were left near the entire yamen office, telling each other about their past events. Liu Bei was ashamed of his wives. Mrs. Gan had never enjoyed any blessings with him. When he became prosperous, Mrs. Gan had already gone. Mrs. Mi had survived the most painful period, but when he arrived in Shuzhong, Liu Bei soon married Mrs. Wu, who was known as the number one beauty in Shuzhong. In his life, the most guilty woman might be those women who were with him.
Although brothers are like brothers and feet, and women are like clothes, he said this, but human hearts are full of flesh. How is it possible for a woman to follow him when he is in the most difficult time and say she has no feelings at all? For some reason tonight, the guilt is constantly amplifying in her heart, and she just feels unhappy if she doesn't vomit. It just so happens that my second brother is here, so she can let herself talk to her well.
As for Guan Yu, in fact, people like him who pay more attention to their own feelings and have the right to be honest are not many things to be ashamed of, but there are also a few things that make him feel uneasy.
The two brothers sighed at the door of the yamen office, and when they returned to the yamen office with their shoulders hooked each other, the feeling was still there, but they didn't have such a strong confide. As for Pang Tong, who had followed the two before... he was weak and Liu Yi's stone sculpture had not been completed, he accused Liu Bei of guilt and went back to rest.
However, with Pang Tong's personality, there is little to be ashamed of anything.
It was not until the next day that Liu Bei and Guan Yu woke up that their words and deeds yesterday were a little different from normal.
"Brother, we last night..." Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei with some uncertainty. Although the emotion was gone, the memory of last night was still there. Guan Yu felt a little ashamed. Why did he jump out of everything and even talk to Liu Bei about his love for someone else's wife.
"It's probably the strangeness of those two stone beasts." Liu Bei was very calm. The things Liu Yi made always have many magical effects. In Liu Yi's words, it was a Feng Shui array. The government office had no effect before. It just felt energetic in it, and it was not easy to get away. Yesterday, Liu Yi personally carved two stone beasts there, and this effect was produced, which made Liu Bei feel very magical.
In order to determine the effect of this stone beast, Liu Bei and Guan Yu decided to find someone to try it out.
"Zhou Cang, go and call Shi Yuan and say you have something to discuss." Liu Bei said to Zhou Cang with a calm expression.
"Here!" Zhou Cang bowed and then turned around and left.
Liu Bei and Guan Yu came to the government office to wait to see what Pang Tong would react. After some talk yesterday, the knot in his heart was resolved, and the influence of the stone lion was not great.
Pang Tong slept well yesterday. When he woke up early this morning, he was about to go to Liu Yi to ask him what he was crazy about yesterday, but when he saw Zhou Cang come to him, he said that Liu Bei invited him.
Pang Tong didn't think anything was wrong. After cleaning up a little, he followed Zhou Cang to the yamen office. From a distance, he saw Liu Bei and Guan Yu were already waiting at the door. He was shocked. Could it be that something big happened? Cao Cao moved his troops? Or did Sun Quan have any movement? Subconsciously, he walked a few steps to the yamen office. After years of official training, Pang Tong was not as arrogant as before, and knew how to advance and retreat.
When he came to the two of them, Pang Tong bowed and said, "It is a crime for the lord and the lord to wait for a long time!"
"There is no need for too much politeness in the Shiyuan, nor is there any important matter. But the pair of stone beasts carved by Bo Yuan yesterday were quite magical, so I invited Shiyuan to watch them together." Liu Bei waved his hand and smiled at Pang Tong. He was very curious, what kind of regret would a person like Pang Tong have?
"Oh?" Pang Tong heard this, without any doubt. He looked at the two stone lions at the door, and felt a little palpitation. Although he did not recognize this ferocious beast, he felt quite fierce at first glance. Moreover, Liu Yi's skill is quite exquisite, and this stone beast seems to jump up at any time, which makes people feel frightened.
After a while, Pang Tong's eyes suddenly turned red.
"Shi Yuan?" Looking at Pang Tong's expression, Liu Bei suddenly felt a little panicked, right?
"Tong is not human!" Pang Tong closed his eyes and said in pain: "Tong is always bad for his appearance, and therefore he often resents his parents. Now that he thinks, this appearance is born with, how can he resent his parents? Such an idea is different from a beast? It's not human! Tong shouldn't be born in this world!"
"Shi Yuan, don't want this, come in first!" Liu Bei and Guan Yu were a little immune to this stone beast. At this moment, they hurried to comfort Pang Tong. In fact, although this idea sounds immoral, it is actually human nature. The Han Dynasty governs the world with filial piety. Some people do anything contrary to human relations because of this. It is naturally a rage from heaven and resentful to others, but they just have this idea in their hearts... it should not be considered a sin, right?
"Lord!" Just now, Liu Yi suddenly came over and bowed to Liu Bei, looked at Pang Tong's appearance, and his heart sank. In Wolonggang, a wall with less than ten attributes could make people think of it. Now that the attribute of repentance to life is placed outside the door of the yamen, the impact caused is a bit terrifying.
"Bo Yuan?" Seeing Liu Yi, Liu Bei smiled and said, "How is your health?"
"No obstacle." Liu Yi glanced at Pang Tong. Although he didn't know what he had repented, he was obviously hit.
"Lord, please let me destroy these stone lions!" Liu Yi bowed to Liu Bei and said.
"Why is this?" Liu Bei said in confusion. Although this pair of stone beasts made him a little ugly last night, it would be effective? Depending on how it is used, at least you don't have to worry about the character of the officials in this yamen.
"The Feng Shui of this stone lion... is not suitable for this place." Liu Yi sighed. What can he say?
"What Bo Yuan pointed out, but will it make people regret in front of this stone beast?" Guan Yu looked at Liu Yi and frowned, "What's wrong with this?"
At least it is good to be able to screen out people with noble character and not let those who are unbearable infiltrate.
"The problem is big." Liu Yi shook his head. He only realized this morning and looked at Liu Bei and said, "Has the lord ever heard that there would be no fish when the water was clear?"
When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes moved and understood Liu Yi's meaning. No one is perfect, not to mention that in the officialdom, if you want to find a saint with a truly noble character and a lifetime, you can only say that you have found the wrong place. The officialdom is the place where the power struggle is the most intense, and it is also the darkest place in human nature. If you really use the standards of a saint to choose an official, then there is really no one to use it.
The first principle of using an official is ability and morality. As long as you don’t violate some principled things, you can’t be too harsh. This is a chaotic world and talents are not easy to find. You have to put a strict moral standard on it, which is basically to drive talents out.
Guan Yu wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed and did not argue. He asked himself that his life was open and honest, but there were still a few things that he felt quite guilty about now. So what about others?
"It's just... this stone lion is a pity to be destroyed!" Liu Bei was a little reluctant. He didn't know what the lion was, but since Liu Yi called that, Liu Yi obviously knew it. There is no need to mention the workmanship of these two stone lions. This effect alone makes people feel a little unwilling to throw it away. After all, this is something that can spy people's hearts! Which king doesn't want it?
"This thing takes root without any other way except to destroy it." Liu Yi smiled bitterly. If it had other attributes, it could be moved, but these two stone lions had the attribute of taking root. There was no way, so they could only be destroyed. As for the money... the raw materials for hundreds of big boys were still included in the freight, but they had to spend 100,000 yuan to change the attributes, and they only did it after sucking their brains.
"Taking the ground and taking root?" Liu Bei was a little disbelief and looked at Guan Yu.
Guan Yu nodded, took off the sword at his waist and handed it to Zhou Cang, and came to the side of the stone lion. Although the stone lion was majestic and mighty, it was only about five or six hundred kilograms in terms of materials. Although Guan Yu is old now, he is not weak. He hugged a stone lion with his arms and suddenly raised his energy upwards. The stone lion was still motionless.
"Huh?" Guan Yu looked at the stone lion in surprise, thought for a while, pressed the lion's head with both hands, and exerted force. The stone lion was still motionless, but it shook slightly.
"This..." Guan Yu looked at Liu Yi in shock: "Did Bo Yuan use cement?"
Liu Yi shook his head and turned his hand. He was already in his hand. In Guan Yu's surprised gaze, he lit the stone lion several times. One stone lion broke like this, and the other stone lion felt as if it suddenly had a little less momentum when the stone lion was shattered.
Since they were judged to be a pair, one of them was gone, and the other one would automatically disappear even if it was still in its attributes. What was left was only master-level carving.
