After talking about the avenue of the world, Zhuangzi told Gongsun Yan about the avenue of life.

What I talked about earlier is about the relationship between people, society, and the state, and about real life. And now what we want to talk about is life, how to face the life we are facing now. In the past, we talked about macro and theory, but now we want to talk about micro and concrete.

We can't go back to our previous lives, so! How do we face the present? What about the future?

Gongsun Yan is now facing the king of Wei who wants to kill him, and the people of Wei and Korea want to kill him to avenge their dead relatives.

There are still people in Wei who believe that Gongsun Yan was originally from Qin, not Wei. Gongsun Yan's ancestors were from the Qin State, and the land where their ancestors lived was originally from the Qin State. So! He must be killed.

Why did Gongsun Yan help Qin attack Wei? Here's why: he was originally from Qin.

So! Gongsun Yan will be killed by this scourge!

He is not just a scourge, he is also a spy, a spy sent by the Qin State.

Now Gongsun Yan, the Qin State can't go back.

Now Gongsun Yan is notorious, where can he go? With his reputation, he will be recognized wherever he goes. So! Now he has nowhere to hide.

Let him be incognito?

That would not have been possible before he had received Zhuangzi's preaching!

But? Now he is possible. But! Zhuangzi still had to preach to him. If you don't make it clear, you give up halfway? The previous is equivalent to talking in vain.

It's still the same old saying: life is just a process of life, just to live for the sake of living, just to complete the life process of being born as a human being. Whether the previous life was right or wrong, whether it harmed the world or benefited the people, it was all the past, and it was all the experience of life. Because! We are not yet at the time of natural age. So! We still have to live and complete the process of this life.

Taoism believes that your life has not yet reached the end of natural age and is facing death, so you can not die as much as possible. Because! You have not yet experienced the full life.

"But me? But how can I live? I? Gongsun Yan asked with a sad face.

"You've got to find a way to live, huh?" Zhuangzi persuaded: "I said before, in any environment, we have a chance to survive, why can't you live? ”

"Me? I? I? Gongsun Yan said with a crying voice: "I am already a homeless person!" I? I can't go back to Qin. Wei wants to kill me again, and South Korea wants to kill me to vent his anger! I? I really have no way out! I? ”

Zhuangzi interrupted: "Could it be? Is there only Qin, Wei and Korea in the Great Zhou world? ”

"This?"

"In addition to Qin, Wei, and Korea, there are also Zhao and Yan, as well as Chu in the south. In the south of the Chu State, there are also the Nanban tribes, and outside the north, there are desert steppes. In fact! You don't need to hide in those places yet......"

Gongsun Yan interrupted: "Where can I hide?" I? You told me to hide in the mountains? I? My grandson Yan me? ”

Thinking about living that kind of isolated life, Gongsun Yan didn't dare to imagine it. Once upon a time, he was all the rage anyway. To make him isolated from the world all of a sudden, the psychological gap is unimaginable and unacceptable.

Not to mention that he will go to seclusion and isolation from the world in the future, even when he thinks of that situation now, he can't accept it.

"Actually!" Zhuangzi advised: "You don't need to go to the southern barbarian tribes in the south, nor to the desert steppes in the north, let alone go to the mountains to live in seclusion and isolate yourself from the world......

"What about me?" Gongsun Yan seemed to see the hope of life and asked, "Me? Can I still be saved? ”

"You can live in Wei, Korea, or Qin!"

"Me? How can it be? I? Gongsun Yan said loudly in disbelief. And his eyes widened, and he looked straight into Zhuangzi's face.

He wanted to see from Zhuangzi's face whether Zhuangzi was teasing him.

Zhuangzi shook his head speechlessly and asked, "Haven't you ever been kind to anyone?" ”

"Favor?" Gongsun Yan's mouth suddenly opened wide.

"Have you not been kind to anyone?" Zhuangzi asked again.

"Me?"

Seeing that Gongsun Yan was speechless, Zhuangzi shook his head again.

"Then you still have a yarn?"

"Me?"

"The world only hates you, you have no love for the world, and you are still a yarn?"

"Me?"

Gongsun Yan thought carefully for a long time, but he didn't think of who he was good to?

It's true! He was preoccupied with how to rule the world, discussing and controversing with kings and ministers, and neglecting the details. For the people around him and the little people around him, he really cares very little.

It's true! Who have you cared about? Who have you loved? He couldn't remember!

Under Zhuangzi's questioning, he felt: Really! He's already a dying man.

You haven't cared about anyone, so who cares about you? Although you can lead thousands of troops to fight on the battlefield, you ignore the feelings of the soldiers. You think about the interests of the king, but you don't think about the lives of the masses of the people at all......

"Woo woo woo ......" Gongsun Yan cried again.

Under Zhuangzi's questioning, he felt more and more that death was slowly approaching. No! Death has surrounded him, leaving him with nowhere to run.

Zhuangzi also stopped talking, closed his eyes, and made Gongsun Yan cry.

At this time, Gongsun Yan was able to completely wake up.

Through inward vision, through the mental realm, Zhuangzi saw the fear in Gongsun Yan's heart. This guy! He's still afraid of death!

After crying for a while, Gongsun Yan stopped crying, lay down in front of Zhuangzi, and did not speak. Just look at what he meant, he was afraid of death. He didn't want to die, he wanted to live, and he wanted Zhuangzi to show him a way to live.

Zhuangzi opened his eyes, shook his head with a wry smile, and looked at Gongsun Yan. Seeing Gongsun Yan's dead look, he was angry and funny.

Gongsun Yan, who was once powerful, where would he think of today? Thinking that he was being hunted down, thinking that he had no way out? In his heart, there should be a piece of sunshine above his head, a magnificent picture in front of him, under his leadership, thousands of troops and horses, sweeping the world, and dominating the Great Zhou......

But now?

It took a long while for Zhuangzi to ask.

You can't rush to ask, but wait until he feels hopeless, and then enlighten him and persuade him. Only then will he be able to listen. Otherwise! Persuasion is ineffective.

"You don't even care about the people around you, you? What else do you talk about caring about the world? What do you want to dominate the world? You don't know why the world is chaotic, the root cause of chaos, what do you want to rule the world? Even if you are better than you, but? What's the use? The world will be chaotic! Because! You don't know the source of the chaos, so! The world will continue to ...... chaos"

"Sir! Woooooo Gongsun Yan began to cry again, waiting for Zhuangzi to give him guidance.

"The reason for the chaos in the world is because no one cares about the suffering of the people......"
