"Your name, General, makes the very earth tremble, and everyone looks up to you. This return to the Imperial Uncle proves you to be noble and true."
Guan Yu in reply told him the story of the men he had slain in the last two passes.
Bian Xi replied, "You

"Yes," said Guan Yu, "nearly twenty years."
"Do you recognize this poor priest?"
"I left the village many years ago; I do not recognize you."

"I want to invite the General

"Not too much," said Guan Yu. "Naturally when fellow villagers meet, they talk of old times."
