為什麼呢？他那就是以前儘吃火雞，完了他自己那火雞的樣子還不變。因為人儘吃火雞，那麼現在火雞牠又做人，又要吃那些人變的火雞，他又要吃。說，「你講這個有什麼根據？那你剛才講那個關公在紅水裏頭洗臉，他也就變成紅臉了，那河究竟在什麼地方？那個紅水現在還有沒有了？要是沒有，那怎麼就他洗臉的時候是紅水，以後那紅水就沒有了？如果要有的話，現在又有誰把臉洗紅了呢？這都是問題啊！
雞都叫鳳凰，雞長得漂亮一點的，說「鶴立雞群」。那個鳳凰在雞裏頭，牠也就是最有力量的一個雞，並不是其他的。你看那雞的眼睛都生得很漂亮的，所以丹鳳眼是那種赤鳳，紅色的鳳凰。紅色的鳳凰是什麼？就是那個公雞。公雞，你看那公雞的眼睛生得也都很好看的嘛！所以關公他赤臉，這個赤臉，這是一種特徵，他出貴的地方，所以說赤臉美髯；他的鬍子也很長的，所以很美麗的，他也很愛惜他的鬍子。
浩氣凜然，他有一股令人一看見就有威可畏的樣子。堪為人類之模楷，他是人間的一個模範，人間一個好榜樣。
贊曰：
三國時代 英雄輩出
南陽諸葛 歸命皇叔
大義將軍 剮骨療毒
談笑自若 奇哉丈夫
註解：
「三國時代，英雄輩出」：那時候很多英雄，又什麼張飛啊、趙雲啊、關帝公啊、連諸葛亮，這多英雄。諸葛亮這個英雄也是不簡單的。
「南陽諸葛」：南陽諸葛，你看他是個文人，可是那些個英雄都被他支配。
「歸命皇叔」：他效忠於劉皇叔，效忠劉備。你們頭先講的都很好，我現在不要那麼長氣了，就簡簡單單說一說就得了。
「大義將軍」：關公是最有義氣的。
「刮骨療毒」：你看他的忍耐心多大！也不用什麼綁著，也不用躺到病床上，就是喝酒啊、下棋啊，談笑自若。所以剮骨療毒，他這就是一種不怕痛苦，所以談笑自若。
「奇哉丈夫」：他是很出奇的一個人。
又說偈曰：
天地正氣產奇英 忠心報國鬼神驚
春秋大義充宇宙 品節清高若日星
崴崴道義垂今古 蕩蕩胸懷滿乾坤
富貴威武難移志 中外傑出第一人
註解:
又給他說－－這都是我說的，不是你說的；這個文章也是我寫的，這個偈頌都是我說的。因為有一些人不知道，我今天特別的要聲明。我說的你們要是覺得不對，再來請你們指教指教；要是對嘛，不妨就聽一聽。
「天地正氣產奇英」：這是一股天地的正氣，才生出這樣的一個英雄豪傑。
「忠心報國鬼神驚」：他就是一個正氣，也是大義，忠肝義膽這種心來報效國家，想要救民伐罪。
「春秋大義充宇宙」：《春秋》上所講的那種氣節，那種節操；大義充宇宙，充滿了宇宙。
「品節清高若日星」：他的品格和節操，都是非常清高的；若日星，就像太陽，像星星那麼光明。
「巍巍道氣垂古今」：他這種的氣概，這種很偉大的這種精神、這種道氣；垂今古，古今都有的，好像現在，也是人人都尊重關公。
「蕩蕩胸懷滿乾坤」：他的心胸裏頭清淨乾淨的，很平坦的、很廣大的；滿乾坤，充滿乾坤的樣子。
「富貴威武難移志」：就無論用什麼富貴來誘惑他，用威武來壓迫他，他都不改變他的志願，都是那麼樣子志願不改，始終如一。
「中外傑出第一人」：在中國和外國，我們來研究研究這些個偉人哲士，這個關帝公也是沒有人和他可以比的，他是第一人。那麼其餘的人比他不同的；他是忠義第一，其他人第一那是另外的，就不是忠義了：忠義裏頭他是第一的。

You may ask, "What is the evidence for
that?" Well, just now someone said that General Guan washed
his face in the Red River, and that his face turned red from
it. Ultimately where is the river located? Does it still
exist? If it had not existed, how could it have been red
when General Guan washed his face in it, and why isn't the
river around anymore? If it still exists now, then who is
washing his face in it and having it turn red?
Anyway, a very beautiful chicken can be
called a phoenix. The expression, "a crane among chickens,"
refers to someone who surpasses his peers. Among chickens,
the phoenix is a most outstanding bird-it is not like other
fowl. Have you noticed that the eyes of chickens are
beautiful? General Guan had eyes like that of a red phoenix.
A rooster can be called a red phoenix. The eyes of a rooster
are good-looking.
General Guan had a red face, which was a
noble feature, and he had a full beard. His beard was very
beautiful. His beard, which he treasured, was very long,
full and splendid. His magnanimous, awesome spirit made him
a model for humankind. He had an awe-inspiring, heroic
spirit.
A verse in praise says:
During the Three Kingdoms Period,
Heroes and illustrious men emerged in succession.
Zhu-ge Liang of Nanyang
Devoted his life to Emperor Liu.
The greatly righteous General Guan
Had his bones pared in order to remove poison,
Yet he went on talking and laughing at ease.
What a rare man!
Commentary:
During the three Kingdoms period, heroes and
illustrious men emerged in succession. During that
time, many heroes appeared, such as Generals Zhang Fei, Zhao
Yun, Guan Gong, and also Zhu-ge Liang of Nan yang.
Zhu-ge Liang was no common hero. He was a scholar, but he
commanded all the other heroes of his time. Zhu-ge Liang
devoted his life to Emperor Liu. He was
loyal to Liu Bei.
The greatly righteous General Guan-Guan
Gong had supreme, righteous energy-had his bones
pared in order to remove some poison.
He had great patience. When operated on, he did not need to
be tied, nor did he have to lie down on a bed. Rather he
just sat, drinking and playing chess, and went on
talking and laughing at ease. He was not afraid of
pain, and went on chatting and laughing. What a rare
man! He was an extraordinary person.
Another verse says:
The proper energy between heaven and earth
produces an extraordinary hero.
With patriotic ferver, he served his country,
startling the ghosts and spirits.
The great righteousness of the Spring and Autumn
Annals fills the universe;
His pure and lofty integrity shines like the
sun and stars.
Magnificent is his spirit of the Way, eternally
glorious from past to present.
His extensive aspirations pervade heaven and earth.
Wealth, honor, force and oppression could not
move his resolve.
In China and abroad, he is unique.
Commentary:
I spoke this verse, not you, and I wrote this essay. I am
making this clear for those who were not aware of it. If you
consider my words incorrect, please correct me. If you
consider them correct, then you might as well listen.
The proper energy between heaven
and earth produces an extraordinary hero. It gave
birth to a hero like General Guan.
With patriotic fervor he served
his country, startling the ghosts and spirits. He
was imbued with proper energy, great righteousness, and a
loyal heart, wishing to repay the kindness of his country.
He wanted to rescue the people and punish wrong-doers.
The great righteousness of the
Spring and Autumn Annals fill the universe. The
moral courage and fortitude of this work pervades the
universe.
His pure, lofty integrity shines
like the sun and stars. His character and rectitude
were lofty and as bright as the sun and the stars.
Magnificent is his spirit of the
way, eternally glorious from past to present. His
energy of the Dao and his vast energy exist from past to
present. For instance, everybody admires and respects him
now, just as they did in the past.
And his extensive aspirations
pervade heaven and earth. His mind was pure and
vast, filling up heaven and earth . Wealth, honor, force,
and oppression, could not move his resolve. No riches or
honor could influence him. Even if he was oppressed by
force, his determination would not change. He was
consistently the same way.
In China and abroad, he is
unique! When we investigate the great personages
and scholars of both China and overseas, we see that Guan
Gong is incomparable. He is foremost in righteousness and
loyalty. Others may be foremost in other things, but not in
righteousness and loyalty.
