Chapter 55
"Alas, I don't know that most of the things in the world are hearsay, and people are the same, and they love to add oil and vinegar to their imaginations, and when they reach you, it will already be a thousand miles away. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
I didn't expect that it would take a long time for the spitting stars who were talking like a river in the river that year, and the people just sighed and sighed a few words of emotion, and they understood it that year, it turned out that people didn't believe what he said.
That year was this temper, and he hated people not believing him the most, so he also said coldly: "Since you don't believe me when I say so much, then please tell me the details of the old man Li Dan." ”
"Alas, well, in fact, Li Dan has been a poor child since he was a child, and he is a poor child who can't be pitiful anymore."
"Where do you start with that?" Before the man could finish speaking, he couldn't wait to ask.
"Don't be in a hurry, wait for me to finish my words slowly." The man on the back of the cow seemed to be careless, and when he saw that Nian was listening attentively, he said quietly; "said that Li Dan is pitiful because he has not had a father since he was a child."
That year, I wanted to interject and ask again, but I finally held back.
Seeing that other partners have fathers and babies, Li Dan finally couldn't help but ask his mother, and his mother told him that he didn't have a father, and the reason why he had him was because once his mother was washing clothes by the river, and saw a big plum floating down the river, and he was curious for a while, so he ate it, but he didn't expect to go home and his abdomen bulged, and he had symptoms of pregnancy. Later, he finally gave birth to Li Dan, a person who doesn't know who his father is, and naturally he doesn't know what his surname is, since his mother is because he ate plums, and he has Li Dan, then Li Dan simply takes Li as his surname, because his ears are big and long, so his nickname is Li Er. “
"It turns out that Your Excellency is Li Dan himself, disrespectful and disrespectful." It was really smart and unusual that year, and while listening to the man on the back of the ox, he had already observed and looked at it attentively, and when he said that his ears were big and long, I noticed that this person's ears were big and long, and it seemed to have two noses side by side.
"Yes, Li Er is Li Dan, that is, Lao Tzu and me." Seeing that Li Dan's expression didn't seem to have changed in any way, and the tone of his speech seemed to be the same, but I didn't know how to feel that what Li Dan was saying now sounded a little uncomfortable.
"And then?" That year, I couldn't help but have a strong interest in Lao Tzu Li Dan, and I was anxious to know the details in the future, so I couldn't help blurting out.
"Later, I grew up, and saw that other people's children could go to study with the teacher, naturally I also wanted to go, but the family had no money, and I couldn't afford to provide it, so my mother took me to kneel down to the gentleman and begged, but the good thing was that the gentleman was kind, and finally agreed to help students for free, but the classmates laughed at me, and didn't want to make friends with me, so I had to study hard, and when I finished studying, I went to the capital to catch the exam, although the test results were excellent, they judged people by their appearance, saying that I couldn't get into the hall of elegance, So I was assigned a job as a librarian, which also happened to provide me with an opportunity to learn, and finally got to the position of curator, but the king of Zhou is now empty in the treasury, the power is thin, and other small countries have long since stopped supplying, so the meager salary can sometimes be owed for more than half a year, and my department is a clear water yamen, and I can't get a little oil and water at all, so I haven't even married a wife today, what do you mean by doing this study, so I have decided to resign and return to my hometown. “
It turns out that the famous Taoist Lao Tzu Li Dan is such a wounded egg, and it is not to blame that he sits on the back of the cow and dozes listlessly, the more he thinks about it this year, the more funny he feels, and he can't help but ask: "Today, in addition to the prestige of Confucius, the rest is your turn, and it is said that you are still quite dissatisfied with Confucius, and you also want to fight for the first, now how do you seem to be inconsistent with the legend, what is the reason for this?" “
"Alas, don't mention it, at that time I was young and vigorous, Top Gun, I always thought that I had the talent to survive the heavens and the earth, and the strategy of stabilizing the country, and now I understand that everything is a passing cloud, and I am now indifferent to fame and fortune, I just want to hide in a quiet corner, spend time in peace, and it is enough to get along with others in old age." Then Li Dan still said listlessly.
"Hahaha" couldn't help but burst out laughing that year, which scared the old man a lot, and almost fell off the back of the cow.
"May I ask where your laughter comes from?" The old man was about to sit down again, and he couldn't help but have a gloomy face and asked unceremoniously.
"The Tao often does nothing, and nothing does, the law of man, the law of the earth, the law of the sky, the law of the heavens, the law of nature, the Tao gives birth to one, one life is two, two is three, three is all things, is this what you call Taoist thought, and I think that since a person has come to this world, he should do something and not do something, instead of riding on the back of this bull like you, shouting dejectedly that neighbors are looking at each other, the voice of chickens and dogs is heard, and the old and dead do not get along, I think you are not indifferent to fame and fortune, but choose an attitude of life that escapes." It was a disdainful tone that year.
"Hahaha" Unexpectedly, it was the old man Li Dan who laughed this time, who originally looked like an old-fashioned scholar, and his appearance was a little weird, so he smiled like this, so that Nian felt a little inexplicable.
"I wonder why you're laughing?" This time the question was asked that year.
"Do you know what it means to give birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things?" The old man asked with a strange smile.
"Of course, I know that this Tao is explaining the evolution of all things in the universe, and that the Tao should be an objective natural law, and at the same time have the eternal significance of being independent and unchanging, and that it will not perish, which is a simple dialectical viewpoint." I'm still a little confident.
"It seems that you have a lot of relationship with the old Master Confucius, and the Confucius said the same, in fact, when Confucius came to visit me, I knew that he was very knowledgeable, and it may also be sympathetic, I wanted to take him as a friend, and wanted to talk to him about my sad past, so I said that the Tao gave birth to one, one life two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things, I mean that in this world, there was only one mother who was hard-working, and then my mother gave birth to me, and slowly the conditions improved, and our family bought a small green cow, look, In the future, I will definitely get rich, and my family will have countless good things, but before the words were finished, the old master Confucius bowed down to me again and again, praising me for my profound knowledge and revealing the objective development law of nature, so I will no longer say it, and follow his words to open the river, in fact, what Taoist doctrine is, everyone praises each other. But it's a fart, and it turns out that a copper plate is not worth it, so I don't care about that Taoist doctrine now. “
