Zhuangzi asked, "So?" What happens when the world misunderstands Taoism? For example, inaction, such as going with the flow, such as retreating, retreating, retreating, how would you explain it? If these people are not deliberately misinterpreting, but really think so, how should you, as a Taoist disciple, as a disciple of my Zhuangzi, resolve the misunderstanding of the other party? ”

Zhang Shan was not ambiguous, straightened his chest, and read it loudly.

Mrs. Sister-in-law sat on the side and listened very carefully. She was quite appreciative of Zhang Shan's answer.

The mayor listened to this, and he couldn't help but be engrossed, his mouth opened, and saliva flowed out. I thought: Hey, hey! This Zhang Shan? I really underestimated him! Hey!

"Hmm!" Zhuangzi hummed in his heart.

He was also very satisfied with Zhang Shan's interpretation.

"Master?" Mrs. Sister-in-law couldn't help but praise: "I really didn't expect that Zhang Shan's understanding of Taoism would be so thorough!" ”

Zhuangzi nodded and said disapprehantly: "You don't know! He's the dumbest person ever. If it had been someone else, I would have realized it a long time ago! I'm telling you! When he went to pick me up and brought me to the lacquer garden, I gave him a systematic lecture. I've been in the paint garden for so long, how many times has he listened to it? ”

"Oh?" Mrs. Sister-in-law pretended to approve and said, "His ability to accept is a little slower, but! It's okay to be able to understand it like that! And what about some people? If you live a lifetime and don't understand life, that's called sadness! ”

"Hmm!" Zhuangzi smiled: "If he is so stupid, then he will lose all my Zhuang Zhou's face." ”

"Stop! Stop! ”

That's it! The mayor interjected: "I said Lord Zhuangzi! Hey! You? Do you still want face? ”

Zhuangzi looked at the town elder and asked puzzledly, "Why am I shameless?" ”

"You Taoists, do nothing? Go with the flow, huh? Indifferent to fame and fortune? What do you care about the 'face'? I don't want a face either! ”

Zhuangzi looked at the town elder and shook his head with a wry smile.

He knew that the mayor of the town had a joking meaning, and he regarded him as his own, so he made such jokes. Furthermore! This town elder still has a half-understanding of Taoism. That's how people understand it, with some extremism in it. This is the mindset of people like them: either/or! It's black and white!

But he still patiently explained: "Taoists are also people! Like the people around you, you also want face and fame and fortune. Because! They also have to live. It's just that! They don't care that much! As long as it doesn't affect survival, they accept it! ”

And then! Rhetorical question: "Think about it?" If the disciples of my Zhuang Zhou are too embarrassed, people shouldn't talk about me to their faces. What kind of disciple did you Zhuang Zhou bring? You said? Doesn't this affect my life? Isn't it? Face is life! There is no way! ”

The mayor laughed and said, "I see! Zhang Shan, I still underestimate him, I think he can pull this person! I don't think I've been able to talk like this before......"

"They have a point! I'll obey him! Mrs. Sister-in-law interrupted Pus's words and said.

Zhuangzi looked at the crowd, then looked at his sister-in-law, and said, "So! I'm going to hand over the lacquer garden here to him! I'm gone, and I'm still a little uneasy. No one continues to preach in the Lacquer Garden, and I am worried that the Taoist base in the Lacquer Garden will not last long. ”

"What? Master? Woowoo woo ......"

When Zhang Shan heard this, he cried on the spot.

"Master? I? I've resigned! I have decided to follow Master for the rest of my life, learn from Master, protect the Dharma for Master, and serve Master as a disciple! Master! Woooooo Don't give up on me! Master! Woowoo woo ......"

Zhang Shan left his seat crying, knelt down in front of Zhuangzi, and lay on the ground, not getting up.

Zhuangzi ignored Zhang Shan's crying and said, "Apply what you have learned!" You should preach publicly, too! Today! You're very good! Master believes in you! You have the ability to manage the paint garden well! The lacquer garden is handed over to you! I'm relieved! ”

"Master! How can Zhang Shan be virtuous? Zhang Shan can preach in public now? Master! I still have to learn from Master! I? I? Woowoo...... I can't give my own example of the Word! Master! Woowoo woo ......"

"Get up!" Zhuangzi stretched out his hand and helped Zhang Shan up.

"Didn't Master mean to provoke you just now? Are you serious? Master, that's the method of agitation, so that you can remember it for a long time! If you don't even know what the Tao is, where can you talk about the rest of it? Isn't it? ”

"Master! Woooooo Master! Zhang Shan is stupid! Zhang Shan thought about it for a long time before he figured it out, that was Master's good intentions! Woooooo Zhang Shan really doesn't have that talent, Zhang Shan still has to learn from his master! Woowoo woo ......"

Zhuangzi said: "Isn't it just preaching here in the lacquer garden? It's not like you're going to be the mayor here in Qiyuan! When I say the management of the lacquer garden, I am talking about the management of Taoism, not the mayor! Manage Taoism, preach to the people of Qiyuan, explain everyone's misunderstanding and misunderstanding of Taoism, and there is nothing! ”

"Master! Woowoo woo ......"

"Say it again! You can go to me too? I should live in the Mojia branch of Mengxian County, where you have been, and it is not far away! Isn't it? ”

"Master! Woowoo woo ......"

Seeing that Zhuangzi refused to agree to take Zhang Shan away, Zhang Shan knelt on the ground and cried again, and his sister-in-law was a little unbearable, got up and came to Zhuangzi, kneeling down on both knees.

"Master! Zhang Shan has resigned, and his mind has been determined to follow the master, serve the master, and protect the Dharma for the master. I believe in his faithfulness, so let me promise him. Take him away! ”

Zhuangzi looked at his sister-in-law, and did not reach out to help her up. Shaking his head, he said, "There is no shortage of protectors around me, and I don't want anyone to serve, I can handle it myself!" ”

"Master! Woowoo woo ......"

"Master! Do you think his martial arts are too bad? Mrs. Sister-in-law asked.

Zhang Shan hurriedly promised: "Master! I'll work martial arts! I'll be able to do it! Master! Woowoo woo ......"

The mayor of the town sat on the side, and when he saw that the insider kowtowed to Zhuangzi, and called Zhuangzi the master, his face became gloomy on the spot.

"I didn't say I wouldn't take you? Didn't I promise to take you as an apprentice? Didn't I say it, you can go to the Mo family's branch altar to find me!

You can also see that there needs to be a person here in the lacquer garden. If I'm gone, the protectors will also leave, so can't the lacquer garden just leave it behind?

You have also seen that today's lacquer gardens are basically all about Taoism. If there is no one who can solve the doubts, won't the efforts made by our Taoists before the Qiyuan be in vain? Isn't it? ”

Zhuangzi persuaded him with good words!

"Master! Woowoo woo ......"

Seeing that Zhuangzi still didn't agree, Mrs. Sister-in-law had to bite the bullet and say, "Master! Rest assured! Zhang Shan is gone, isn't there still me? Master, don't worry! I'll leave the lacquer garden to me! Again! I am the wife of the mayor of the town, and I am the sister-in-law of the Qiyuan people, and I still have a certain influence. And Zhang Shan, if he preaches here in the lacquer garden, I'm afraid? For a while, people still can't accept it, everyone knows the bottom line, if he preaches, I'm afraid not many people will believe it! Master......"

Zhuangzi was a little incredulous and asked, "You?" Sister-in-law? Would you like to take over the lacquer garden? ”

"The disciple is willing!"

The sister-in-law said and kowtowed to Zhuangzi again.

"Get up! Get up! I believe in you! Zhuangzi hurriedly got up and helped his sister-in-law up first.
