Chapter 61

"Moo, moo, moo"

That year, a few vertical leaps flew out of the Taoist temple of Lao Tzu, between the lines, I heard a few old cow barks, raised my head and put my hand on the cool basin to watch carefully, only then I saw that it turned out that not far from a small hillside, there was a big green cow grazing on the side of the road, not far away there was a tall man who seemed to be sitting on a stone pier and did not know what was being done, that year is now in a good mood, and felt that this green cow seemed to be Lao Tzu's head, a curiosity rose again, and went straight to the past.

When I walked in and took a closer look, I found that I was not mistaken, this green cow is really the old man, because although the roadside can see the small tender grass tips that emerge, but it is not easy to eat into the mouth, so the old cow does not seem to have much strength, from time to time to raise his head and look around.

"Brother Niu, when you are old, you still want to eat tender grass, so you can't be sad to eat it." That year was the time when you had this temper and were in a good mood, but no matter if you were a tiger, a leopard, a bird, or a beast, you could joke anyway.

"Moo, moo, moo" The old cow seemed to be able to understand Nian's speech, and probably felt that the little hand of the year was still very comfortable on his back, so he turned his head sideways and licked that year with his big mouth, and that year also felt very comfortable being licked, and suddenly remembered that he should give him something to eat, but he looked around, but he didn't see anything coincidental, and suddenly thought of a pill that Lao Tzu gave himself, so he took it out, and said with a grin: "Brother Niu, you are so polite to me early in the morning." , I'm embarrassed, and I don't have anything good for you to eat, so I'll give you this elixir of immortality practiced by your master, don't dislike the smell of urine. ”

"May I ask what you are doing here?" That year, as soon as he watched the old cow lick the pill in the palm of his hand into his mouth, he heard a voice behind him politely asking him.

When I looked back that year, I looked carefully at the person who came, and saw that he was in his forties, with a slender figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, and he looked really dignified, and he still greeted him with a smile, which seemed to be very polite, and he couldn't help but rejoice, but looking at his dress, although the clothes on the cold day were clean and tidy, it seemed to be too thin, and he was still holding half a straw sandal in his hand. It's still a little cold when this hand is always outside, and you see that you're wearing a very thin one, why don't you add an old padded jacket? ”

"Hehehe, there is no way to destroy the sky, there is no reason to destroy life, there is no way to be martyred, keep it and don't lose it." I saw the man laughing and groaning so much.

"I don't understand what you're talking about." I really didn't understand that year, although I also learned from Master Confucius intermittently for a short time, but it was three days of fishing, more than 300 days of drying nets, and most of the time that Master Kong was not there, he relied on a few senior brothers and younger brothers to substitute for teaching, and the regular classes were all things that were not the same.

"Oh, I mean to say, don't destroy nature for the sake of artificiality, don't destroy life for the sake of worldliness, don't sacrifice fame and fortune for greed, and abide by the way of heaven without departing from it, this is to return to the basics. I feel like that's good, so I'll just let it be. After talking for a long time, Nian felt that he still didn't understand what he meant, but by feeling, it seemed that people insisted on that.

"Are you a disciple of Lao Tzu Li Er, but I heard that Lao Tzu's apprentices have all cultivated and accomplished, and it seems that your time to come to Lao Tzu will not be interrupted, why are you still down to this extent? It's like I've seen you before. "I did have some impressions of this person that year, but I just can't remember the details.

"Even, I seem to remember that I saw you more than ten years ago, as if I was advertising for my teacher, so you came to me and asked me for that pill, and said that it was delicious, and I took one more." In the end, it is one thing for young people to have a good memory, and I also remembered it in the year, as if I was talking about some land sea cucumber, eating one lip augmentation, eating two breast augmentation and the like.

"You weren't like this at that time, articulate and vibrant, and now you don't look old, but you're a little old-fashioned, by the way, I seem to have heard that you are still the descendant of King Song, why did you fall to such a point?" I was really curious that year.

"Ao, don't mention anything about the King of Song anymore, the Song Kingdom has long ceased to exist, the saints are immortal, the thieves are not stopped, the thieves are punished, the thieves are the princes, heaven and earth are born with me, all things are one with me, the highest state of life is to be at ease, I want absolute spiritual freedom, not material enjoyment and hypocritical reputation. To be a prince or not is the same as a drop. The man said with a smile, not showing the slightest whining or resentment.

"High, indeed high, is not only your unique opinion, but also your moral sentiment cultivation is extraordinary. Can you tell me what's your name? "I really liked this person that year.

"Under the surname Zhuang name Zhou, the word rest." looks suave and elegant, but Nian always feels that there is a cynical demeanor in his bones, or that it is okay to be neither humble nor arrogant.

"I'd like to give you a piece of advice, don't you know if it's possible?" That year, he also learned Zhuang Zhou's demeanor and began to chew words.

"Your Excellency, please speak, I will listen to you." That Zhuang Zhou really ran to the stream, washed his ears and eyes with a little water with his hands, and then stood respectfully in front of Nian.

I still felt funny that year, but when I saw Zhuang Zhou standing in front of him with a solemn expression, I was really indescribably grateful. That year, he also said seriously: "Manly husband, between survival and heaven and earth, naturally should make a difference, do not seek fame through the ages, but seek no regrets in your heart, I don't believe that you are willing to live a life like this, therefore, my advice to you is to also change your name to Zhuangzi, on the basis of that Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", set up a faction, or "Zhuangxue" or "Metaphysics", and also write a scripture for him, make a big publicity, and then open a mountain to recruit disciples, on the one hand, the wealth is rolling, If you don't have to live this kind of life of suffering and sin, on the other hand, you should also make your own ideas and propositions public, and if you are afraid of arousing the disgust of those in power, you might as well make up some small stories and reflect what you want to say through the stories, wouldn't that be better? ”

"Thank you for your advice, I immediately went to bid farewell to the master, and then I hid on the Nanhua Mountain and seriously wrote a copy of his "Nanhua Sutra".
