Chapter 152: Leaving the Ancient Village
In the autumn of 351 BC, Zhuangzi was nineteen years old and eighteen years old. His children came one after another, and he became a father.
Last year, he did not promise to choose one of the nineteen village girls to be his wife and settle down here. Grandma, the village chief, and the elders were all very sorry, and no one forced him anymore.
The nineteen village girls, all of them cried incomprehensibly.
According to the customs in the village, if the village god does not choose you as his wife, you cannot have anything to do with the village god. They are pregnant with the seed of the god of the village, and can only wait for the child to be born, and then wait for the child to be weaned. And then! They can find another man to marry them. has been a girl who serves the god of the village, and she is fragrant and sweet in the village, and she doesn't worry about getting married at all.
But! Who of them wouldn't want to marry Zhuangzi?
They are all about the same age as Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi is so good, who doesn't want to marry a better man?
Since he didn't promise Grandma and them, he has passed the period of sacrificing to the god of the village, and he is no longer the god of the village, and he is the same as ordinary people. The house of the god on the other side of the sacrificial platform was uninhabitable, and he lived in his grandmother's house again.
During the day, in addition to helping Grandma and the people in the village, he spread his Taoism while working. The current Zhuangzi has the same tone as his master Yang Zhu, as long as someone asks him, he knows everything, speaks endlessly, and speaks the Tao.
In the past, Zhuangzi was a person who was not good at words, but now Zhuangzi does not speak if he does not speak, and when he speaks, he talks endlessly.
Maybe he has been an honest, kind and unsociable person since he was a child, but now he is still the same, he doesn't like to talk to strangers and unfamiliar people. But! Once they got acquainted with each other and got to know each other, he talked more. Input subtitles at the site: нeì Уа Пgе·Сом to watch the new chapter
At night, as long as it is not raining, snowy, or windy, he will go to the square on the side of the altar to teach Ah Zhuang and others martial arts, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter. After teaching fist and foot kung fu, he taught weapons, and when he was resting, he taught everyone martial arts and mental techniques, and taught everyone Taoist breathing and spitting techniques.
In the winter of 350 B.C., when Zhuangzi was twenty years old, all nineteen of his children were born. There are a total of ten boys and nine girls, all of them are strong and healthy, and the people in the village like them, and they are all silently thinking in their hearts about who they will marry in the future.
This winter, several of the children have been weaned, and according to the traditional customs in the village, their mothers can get married.
At this time, the village girls can also turn back to chase Zhuangzi again, or they can accept the pursuit of others and marry out.
So! At this time, Zhuangzi encountered another problem. Will he be faced with a choice again, is he to stay and refuse to chase his mother? Still is? Watching the child marry someone else?
It's impossible to accept the child's mother's chase! If he doesn't accept it, he has to watch his mother marry someone else. Maybe? The person who marries out is not a young offspring, an old man, a disabled person, or something he doesn't want to see?
In fact, that's exactly what happened!
There are not many young offspring in the village, and there are not many normal and healthy men. It is precisely because there are no normal and healthy men in the village that he worships the god of the village, and he is the god of the village. So! The person the child is married to must be a very old man or a man with a physical disability......
What made him even more unacceptable was that the man was not single! But! A man with a wife's room! Because they are men, what is missing in the stockade is men, so! As long as there is a man who wants it, you are willing to marry, it is in line with the customs in the village.
Giving birth to children and reproducing offspring is a matter of heaven! Anyone who objects to it is invalid!
Exactly because of this! This winter, Zhuangzi decided to leave here.
Before leaving, he returned to the top of the mountain and said goodbye to the Master.
The houses on the top of the hill have been uninhabited for a long time, and have been invaded by wild animals such as wolves, wild boars, and bears, and the roofs have rotted because there is no thatch.
Seeing the weeds and shrubs growing again, Zhuangzi's heart was sad. The little bits and pieces of living here with the Master came to my heart again.
After looking inside and outside the house, he couldn't help crying!
I cried for a long time before I stopped. He's going down, or else! Before it was in the stockade, it was dark.
Although his martial arts have grown a lot, there are too many beasts in the mountains. I'm afraid that I'm not afraid of wild beasts, but according to Master's theory and my own understanding of Taoism, it's better not to infringe on the lives of wild beasts.
Nature's law of survival is! Non-aggression and peace! Live in harmony! Only when it is necessary to survive and is forced to do so that other lives are slaughtered! Including the same kind! This is the essence of the philosophy of survival!
Facing the thatched hut where he once lived, Zhuangzi knelt down on his knees, kowtowed three times in the direction of the master's meditation.
And then! He raised his head and said, "Master! The disciple is gone! Master! Thank You, Master! I already have descendants, and I will do my best to travel around the world, spread Taoism, so that everyone in the world can understand and learn Taoism, and be a real person, a person who will not be used by others, and a free person.
I want to teach everyone the philosophy of survival, so that everyone can live to the end of their lives, complete the process of being a human being, feel life, and cherish this opportunity to be a human being. The Tao has given us the opportunity to be human beings, we must cherish it, and don't die before we feel the joy of life!
Our life, when we are fetuses, can bring hope to our mothers for their future lives; When you are a baby or a child, you can bring happiness and hope to your mother and relatives; We grew up, we had our own lives and hopes. We are looking forward to a better future, we are constantly working hard, and we are working hard! Strive to achieve our ideals in life!
We're grown-ups! We are going to marry and have children. Giving birth to new hope! We must support our parents and elders, let them live a happy old age, and repay them for raising us!
When we grow old ourselves, we grieve the loss of our loved ones.
We also have our own happiness! We watched the children born of marriage and raised all of them have a good life, and they all honor us and give us a happy old age until we die.
This is our whole life! Have fun! There is grief! There is hope! We tried! Although we have not achieved anything in our lives, we are worthy of heaven and earth, our parents and all the people around us! Our life is a life without regrets! Master! I'm leaving! ”
That's it! In front of him, the phantom of the master appeared!
Master sat cross-legged in the void, his eyes slightly closed.
"Master! Master! Master! ”
Zhuangzi stood up and threw himself at the master. Master's phantom disappeared, and in his mind, Master's voice came: Go down the mountain! You can travel the world! You've got it! Zhuang'er!
"Master! Master! Master! ”
