Chapter 37 Zhuangzi's Hometown
When the unrestrained Taoist saw Wei Xiaodong asleep, he said in his heart, this kid is really happy! Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is enviable!
Thinking about himself, he is already a fifty-year-old man, although he cultivates and maintains his health and is in good health, but he still has a little emotion in life!
I have been cultivating for nearly twenty years, and when I think about it, this time has passed really quickly, and I have been running around all these years, going south and north to find the avenue, but there is no news. It seems that the avenue has no chance with him.
That day, the unrestrained Taoist accidentally fell into a dream, and he happened to meet Wei Xiaodong, which was also inexplicable, because of such a thing, he also encountered it for the first time.
According to the knowledge of the unrestrained Taoist, only people with profound spiritual power or people with deep fortune can do so. The unrestrained Taoist looked at Wei Xiaodong who was sleeping, and couldn't see what spiritual power he had? Could it be that he was a person with deep blessings?
Wei Xiaodong dreamed so hard last night, he was running fast and nervous for half a day, and after eating a full meal, drowsiness naturally came.
However, Wei Xiaodong slept for a short time at noon during the day and would not sleep for a long time. About half an hour later, Wei Xiaodong woke up.
After Wei Xiaodong woke up, he opened his eyes and saw that the unrestrained Taoist chief was looking at him, Wei Xiaodong turned over and sat up, patting the soil on his body with his hand, fortunately, the sun was very good, and it was not very hot.
"I'm so tired, I'm asleep. Wei Xiaodong said.
"I'm sorry, you know I'm sorry, why were you so embarrassed when you grabbed food from my old man just now?" said the unrestrained chief, pretending to be angry.
"Well, one is that I'm so hungry. The other one is to blame for you. Wei Xiaodong said solemnly.
"Blame me, you little ghost?" said the unrestrained chief, surprised.
"Blame you for making so good food, it's really delicious, I've never eaten such a good meal before today. Do you want to blame you for this?" Wei Xiaodong said.
"Alright, boy, stop the sycophants. What you said is unexpected, and it is very comfortable to listen to. Forget it, boy, let's go!" said the unrestrained chief.
"Where are we going?" Wei Xiaodong asked again.
Then he hurried and stayed wherever he went. The chief said, and began to leave. When Wei Xiaodong was sleeping, the unrestrained Taoist chief had already packed up his tool kit, seasonings, and rice and noodles.
"Dao Chief, wait for me. Wei Xiaodong caught up from behind. He thought it was interesting to have someone to accompany him.
"Dao Chief, you have walked more than I have ever read, can you tell me the stories of celebrities around here!" Wei Xiaodong said as he walked.
"By the way, boy, are you in college?" said the unrestrained chief as he walked.
"I didn't get in. Wei Xiaodong said briefly.
He had already seen through Vanity Fair, so he just said, "You must have studied Zhuangzi's writings! Zhuangzi is also one of the founding patriarchs of my Taoism. ”
When Wei Xiaodong heard this, he said, "Really? I like Zhuangzi's article too much." Especially the cooking. ”
"Boy, can you still recite some of these words?" said the unrestrained chief.
"Dao Chief, you test me. My life has an end, and there is no end to knowledge. ......" Wei Xiaodong actually memorized all this article about Ding Ding and Niu.
Zhuangzi is a great person, a person who dares to adhere to his ideals and seek the great way. Without Zhuangzi, there would not be a lot of inheritance. The unrestrained chief said.
"By the way, do you know why people call us Bullnose Old Dao for us Taoists?" said the Taoist Chief.
Wei Xiaodong thought for a long time, and then came up with a sentence: "You won't say that your Taoist nose is like a cow's nose, right?"
"Your kid's nose is like a cow's nose, in fact, this is a kind of saying, back then, my Taoist ancestor Zhuangzi, felt that the people's life was difficult and difficult at that time, advocated raising cattle, with cattle, people can let cattle help farming, greatly reducing people's labor intensity. When the cow is old, it can be killed and eaten again, and the people's food can be improved. Since then, people's lives have slowly improved. It is because my Taoist ancestors grasped this key point of raising cattle, so later generations affectionately called us Taoists the old way of ox nose. Do you know this time, boy?" said the unrestrained chief, proudly.
"It's really a long time to see. Thank you for your advice. Wei Xiaodong said with a smile.
"It is said that my Taoist ancestor Zhuangzi had a disciple, who was very powerful, and at that time, I made a book, and I heard my master say that if all the avenues above are successfully cultivated, you can become an immortal. However, I have been looking for it, but I have never had the opportunity to see it, I really have no chance to connect with the Great Dao!" said the chief of the Wuzhi Dao.
"Dao Chief, do you know the name of that book?" Wei Xiaodong asked.
"I don't know the specific name, and my master doesn't know either, but there are clues in some books, this book borrows a sentence from my Taoist ancestor Lao Tzu, Xuan Zhi Xuan, the door of all wonders. Its full name is not known to us. The unrestrained chief said.
When Wei Xiaodong heard this, he had a thought in his heart, "Could this be?" he didn't say it, it was his own secret. No one else knows. However, he said: "It's really a pity, if the Taoist Master gets it, he will definitely go further." ”
"You kid is really nice to talk to. Remember, if you can talk to people like this all the time, you'll have a lot less trouble getting along with people. The unrestrained chief said.
"Daoist, do you say it's hard to get along with people?" Wei Xiaodong said.
"Boy, there's nothing more difficult in the world than getting along with people. The chief of the free road said with deep feelings.
"That's one of the reasons why I gave up school and turned to Taoism!" said the unrestrained Taoist.
"Can you tell me that I'm going to work in the south this time, and getting along with people is a sure thing. What can I do to get along with people?" Wei Xiaodong said.
"Let me tell you about me first! I was young and competitive, I could say whatever I wanted, and I never cared about the feelings of others. Although my research results are very large, I just can't be promoted and reused, so I am disheartened and devoted to the Tao. Now that I think about it, I was really too young to know how to restrain myself and not know how to choose the right way. However, I have never regretted my decision, and I have been very happy all these years, and I am already very satisfied. The unrestrained chief said.
"Dao Chief, hearing you say this, I want to go to the Tao with you. I'm not good at getting along with people!" Wei Xiaodong said.
"Actually, cultivating the Tao does not have to leave home, it is okay in the earthly world, as long as you have a Taoist heart, you can cultivate the Tao anywhere. The unrestrained chief said.
When Wei Xiaodong heard this, a stone in his heart fell to the ground, so he would not become a monk. He has not forgotten the nurturing grace of his parents and the friendship of so many good friends. In this prosperous world, Wei Xiaodong wanted to do so many things, so he was reluctant to leave this world.
"Daoist, I'll tell you this story I heard! There is a man who has a bird, and he loves this bird very much, and feeds it the best food every day, and he doesn't even close the door of the cage. Later, for two days he was sick and did not feed the bird, and the bird flew away. Never came back. Whose fault do you think this is?" asked Wei Xiaodong.
"No one is wrong, if the bird doesn't fly out to find food on its own, it will starve to death. It's also possible that someone else has caught you outside. It's the same with people, maybe the time two people can get along well is limited. However, if the time spent together is over, don't be sad, because this is life, and the gathering and dispersion of this life is actually a very common thing. The unrestrained chief said.
"Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. Thank you very much, Chief, and I will cherish the time we have been together. Wei Xiaodong said.
"By the way, boy, if you gain power or make a fortune in the future, you must be lenient with people. Don't put on a show. You know what?" said the unrestrained man.
"Don't say that, Dao Chief, okay? I'm the poor boy now. I don't even know when I'm going to get rich? You're saying that too soon. Wei Xiaodong said.
The unrestrained elder glanced at Wei Xiaodong meaningfully, "Over the years, I have traveled a lot of places, and I have seen a lot of young people who go to work, but there may be people like you who go to work, but I have not seen people who do not follow the usual path, it is very likely that they have great achievements." The unrestrained chief said.
"Thank you for the compliment. Although I don't know what my tomorrow will bring, I will always try. By the way, Dao Chief, where are we staying tonight, and what are we going to eat at night?" Wei Xiaodong said.
"You're such a foodie, no, but it's not right to say that. I think I'm just a serious foodie! I can't talk about others in the future, and I have to think about myself before talking about others! I'm white-haired, and I also say that others are goblins. The unrestrained chief said.
"Dao Chief, I'm really a foodie! To tell the truth, my favorite food is steamed buns! Everything else is okay. For example, the baked cakes you made that day were really good!What if you finished eating what you had with you?" Wei Xiaodong said.
"After eating, I found a way to replenish it. Replenish wherever you go. The unrestrained chief said.
"What if there are pesticide and fertilizer residues in the food?" Mr. Wei said.
"I can't help it! I have to eat it!" said the unrestrained Taoist leader helplessly.
"What do you say Zhuangzi usually eats?" Wei Xiaodong said.
