Chapter 876: Zhang Shan and his sister-in-law
Rong'er's cemetery is on the hillside in front of the headquarters of the original Mojia Branch, that is, on the high slope where Yang Zhu built the podium when he preached. Nature
Zhuangzi clearly remembers that when Shi Gong Yu sat on the high platform and watched Master Yang Zhu preach. The position where Shi Gong Yu is sitting can just see Rong'er's grave.
He thought, "What if Master has also learned the Tao?" If he also cultivates the Taoist mental method, he will come back often, looking at everything here through inward vision.
Over here! It's the end of the Mo family!
Yang Zhu settled in the Mojia branch and explained in detail his theory of "not pulling out a dime", which won more than 30,000 listeners.
So! Shigong will not forget all this, and Shigong will often come back here to reflect on his life and Mohist doctrine.
Rong'er's tomb is not too big, nor is it luxurious, it is completely the kind of tomb of ordinary people, and Zhuangzi did not bury it according to the "princess ceremony". Even! I don't want to be buried. But due to external pressure, he had to be buried, so he was perfunctory.
Before this, Zhuangzi had considered that the people of the revenge alliance would take revenge on their family and take out their anger on a dead person. It will turn out the corpses of your family and display them in the wilderness. Even! It will be pulled out into the street and let the world know about it.
Only in this way can the people of the revenge alliance feel relieved of their hatred. Looking at your pain, they will feel relieved.
That night, the people of the Revenge Seeking Alliance came to the side of the Mo family's branch altar with shovels and other tools to find Rong'er's grave.
The original Mojia branch headquarters is brightly lit, and a stone and wood structure house is being built over there. The craftsmen ate and lived on the construction site, and from time to time the sound of drinkers could be heard in the shed. The hound heard an unusual noise outside and barked incessantly into the darkness. The caretaker heard the dog barking and walked around the building materials with torches.
"What bark?" The patrol showed no signs of an anomaly and shouted at the hound.
"Whoa!" The hound seemed to understand the owner's reprimand, and barked twice embarrassedly to show the dog's apology.
The members of the Revenge Alliance came to the hillside, but suddenly appeared, and there was nothing on the hillside.
Those who came to inspect during the day were dumbfounded. I obviously saw Rong'er's grave here, why? Gone at night?
"Isn't it here?" A man with a shovel in his hand asked.
"Yes! Absolutely nothing wrong? ”
"That? What about graves? ”
"Me? I? How do I know? ”
"Did you come during the day?"
"Why didn't I come? I? I hate to dig her out in the daytime! I still want to rape her! I heard that she is beautiful! ”
"You treacherous! Are you traitorous to the slopes? You? ”
More than a dozen people were dissatisfied and searched around the periphery of the Mo family's branch altar, but found nothing, so they had to leave in a huff.
Seeing that the hound was always barking in the dark, Zhang Shan and his sister-in-law both entered the inner world and looked at the place where the hound barked. Seeing a group of people looking in the dark with shovels and other tools in their hands, they knew what was going on.
Only then did they appear: Rong'er's grave was gone.
On the day of Rong'er's burial, they witnessed it with their own eyes. How the tombs were erected, they witnessed from the beginning to the end. Not only the two of them, but also the people around the Mo family's branch altar, those who had received the favor of the fowl, all came to give Rong'er a funeral.
What about Rong'er's grave?
The two also followed behind these gravediggers, searching all over the mountains and fields, and the result! Nothing.
Zhang Shan withdrew from the inner world, got out of bed, and walked to his sister-in-law. When I opened the door of the room, I saw my sister-in-law standing outside the door.
"Sister-in-law, you?"
Mrs. Sister-in-law did not speak and entered Zhang Shan's room.
Zhang Shan followed in and closed the door of the room.
"Sister-in-law, you?"
"Master's cultivation has been promoted again!" Mrs. Sister-in-law looked at Zhang Shan and said.
"Promotion?"
"What we saw that day, Rong'er was buried there, and it turned out! Nothing? This, this, this? ”
"This, this, this?"
"Don't say anything yet! Let's see tomorrow, is this tomb still there? ”
"Hmm!" Zhang Shan agreed.
The next day, the craftsmen began to work again, and the construction site was in full swing again.
Zhang Shan took advantage of everyone's inattention and went up the hillside.
On the hillside! Rong'er's grave still exists.
After turning around the hillside, the footprints of the gravedigger last night were still visible.
"What's going on?" Zhang Shan couldn't figure it out.
Mrs. Sister-in-law stood on the side of the Mojia Branch Altar Headquarters and also looked over there. Rong'er's grave seems to be still there, and Zhang Shan is still turning around on it. What's going on? Is it impossible to see in the inner world?
When Zhang Shan came back, he told his sister-in-law about his doubts, and his sister-in-law naturally shook her head for a while.
"I can only wait for Master to come out of the customs!"
"That's fine! I am not afraid that the people of the revenge alliance will come to dig the grave. ”
During the day that day, a few strangers came to the Mojia branch altar and took the opportunity to inspect Rong'er's grave on the grounds of playing. At night! Another group of men came with shovels and other tools to dig graves. Outcome! Again found nothing, and came back in a huff.
When Zhang Shan and his sister-in-law saw this, they were completely relieved.
As long as these people don't come to dig graves during the day, nothing will happen.
It's time to bring food to the master again, Zhang Shan and his sister-in-law went to the back mountain with food and other places, and stayed there, hoping that the master would come out to meet him. Outcome! I waited for a day and didn't see Master come out. Both of them have a lot of cultivation problems, and they want to ask their masters.
The house that the two of them built on the side of the Mojia branch headquarters made slow progress because it was a luxurious stone and wood structure. Until now, the foundation has not been fully built. But the foot of the house was built, and the ground was paved. The foundation and the like have been planned, and the stones have not yet been laid on the foundation.
Wait until the foundation is paved with flat stones, and then erect the roof beams and columns of the house on this foundation.
The roof beams and columns around the house were erected before they were erected. After the structure of the whole house is built, the model foundation of the house is obtained. Planks are then laid on top to build the roof.
Wait until the roof is built, and then start building the surrounding walls. The final process is to paint the walls several times.
Looking at the progress in front of you, if you want to live in a new house, you will have to wait at least until around tomorrow's spring ploughing festival, which is estimated to be quite fast. Maybe? We'll have to wait until next summer.
Before they had a new house, they both had to live in a shack.
The sister-in-law is connected to Zhang Shan's shed, but does not enter or exit through one door. After all! There is a distinction between men and women, so that the craftsmen do not gossip. Even so, there are still many people who joke about Zhang Shan and his sister-in-law.
In addition to being responsible for building a house, the two of them basically practiced in their spare time.
In terms of cultivating the Taoist mind, the progress of both of them is very fast, and they have their own gains. In terms of understanding Taoist doctrine, Zhang Shan did not fall behind. He was slow to react, but he was steady.
