Yu Que asked Wang Ni for advice, and Wang Ni didn't answer him four times, as if he couldn't answer. Yu Que jumped up with joy, feeling that he had stopped Wang Ni. Thereupon! He went to Pu Yizi and told Pu Yizi about the above situation.

Pu Yizi said: "Through this incident, do you know why now? Yu Shun is not as good as Fu Xi's because Yu Shun is merciful in his heart, and his kindness can be seen and touched, so he has won the hearts of the people all over the world and the support of the people.

But! He still has not transcended the realm of artificiality, and he still deals with affairs from the level of the relationship between people and society. He did not jump out of the scope of people and society, and looked at the problem from the height of the Tao. We do not look at and handle affairs from the perspective and realm that people and all things are brothers and sisters, and heaven and earth are the parents of people and all things.

Fu Xi is relaxed and comfortable when he sleeps, and he is leisurely when he wakes up; He allowed others to see him as a horse, and others to see him as a cow; It doesn't matter if it's a horse or a cow.

Because! It's just a difference in materialization. One materialized as a horse, one materialized as a cow, and one materialized as a human, who knows what we will end up objectifying for? No matter what it is, he can accept and face it calmly.

He is not a fool, he is knowledgeable, affectionate and faithful, and does not carry falsehoods; His virtues are also obvious to all, not hyped up.

And! He doesn't think he's not human, he thinks he's just human, just like everyone else.

In the context of man and society, he is a person in society. In the relationship between man and heaven and earth, he is one thing, and like other species, he is just a species called "man".

Why is this so? Because! He jumped out of the realm of people and society, looked at problems from the height and realm of the Tao, and dealt with world affairs. He believes that man and all things are brothers and sisters, and heaven and earth are the parents of man and all things.

The cognitive height and realm of the two of them are different! You know what?

Just like you and Wang Ni, the cognitive height and realm of the two are different. You are Yu Shun, and he is Fu Xi. You're asking about mundane things, so! He doesn't bother to pay attention to you. ”

Shoulder to the hermit of Chu Maniac to receive public opinion.

He said, "Tell me! What did your teacher teach you in the middle of the day? ”

"He told me that the ruler must formulate and implement laws according to the current state of society, and effectively manage society," he said. With the provisions of the law, if people dare not obey, there will be no chaos in society. If there is no law, there is no law, people are free to act, and society is chaotic. ”

He said: "This is a practice of bullying people, and this is setting up shackles on the world and restricting the freedom and instinct of human nature. How can it be done to govern the world in this way, just like digging a river leading to the sea for mosquitoes to carry the mountains?

When a saint governs the world, will he rule the problem of appearance in society? Does a headache cure a headache and a pain in the foot? Failure to solve the problem at the root and source is not the best solution.

So! The saint follows his nature, leads by example, and then influences others. The saints believed that all people in the world have the ability to handle their own affairs and face the affairs of the world, and that no one else needs to worry about them.

Birds still know how to fly high to avoid the damage of their bows and arrows, and rats know how to hide in their burrows under the altar in order to escape the scourge of smoke and earth.

Is it true that people in the world are inferior to these two small animals? I don't know how to avoid disaster, and I want you to set a law for them and regulate their behavior? ”

Tiangen wandered to Yinyang, came to the Tateshui River, and happened to meet a nobody, so he asked him for advice: "Excuse me? How to govern the world. ”

Nobody said, "Get out of the way!" You shallow-minded fellow, how can you make people unpleasant as soon as you open your mouth! I have just found the feeling of being one with the Creator Tao. When he was ready to get bored, he rode the ethereal bird into the void, flew out of the six poles, wandered in a place where there was nothing, and lived in the vast wilderness. How can you disturb my good mood with words like governing the world? ”

Tengen asked again.

The no-man said: "You should keep a calm mood and not pursue things outside your body." Adjust your breathing, pay attention to maintaining inner peace, and be indifferent to the troubles of the world. Conform to nature, develop naturally according to the nature of things, and don't have the slightest partiality and deliberately favor anyone, and the world will be governed. ”

Yang Ziju visited Lao Dan and said: "If there is such a person, he is vigorous and resolute, judges things accurately and thoroughly, and never gets tired of learning diligently. Can a man like this be compared to a wise king? ”

Lao Dan said: "In the eyes of the sage, such a person is just a smart person who can carve insects." How can these men be compared to wise kings?

Like tigers and leopards, they are rounded up by many hunters because of their beautiful coats; Just like the macaque, because of the agility of the jump, the rope is strangled; Just like a dog, it can help its owner guard the fashionable cow and incur the rope restraint. How can an animal like this be compared to a wise king? ”

After listening to Lao Tzu's words, Yang Ziju respectfully asked, "Excuse me?" How did a wise king rule the world? ”

Lao Dan said: "The wise king rules the world, but the merits cover the world, but it seems that it is not his deeds, they do not take credit." and the people did not feel that it was the work of the king, but their own efforts; meritorious but do not want to be praised and praised, so that all things live in their own place and prosper; Always maintain the mentality that you are not doing well, and it seems like you are doing nothing. ”

Zheng Guo has a wizard named Ji Xian who is very good at divination and facial appearance. He knows that the life, death, existence, blessings and misfortunes, and longevity of men, and that the prophesied years, months, tens, and days will be fulfilled on that day.

When Zheng Guoren saw him, they all hurried away, afraid that he would predict his death and calamity.

When Liezi saw him, not only was he not afraid, but he was also pleasantly surprised, thinking that he had met a master. He is impressed by his heart, drunk and infatuated, and has the heart to learn from his teacher.

When he returned, he told his teacher about what he had seen. Then he said: "At first I always thought that Mr. was the most knowledgeable, but now I have found that there are people who are more advanced than him. ”

The pot said, "You have not yet fully comprehended the knowledge I have taught you, do you think that you have attained enlightenment?" How can a fertilized egg be born when there are only many females but no males? I taught you the Tao, but you didn't understand it?

If you compare yourself with the Dao techniques you have learned, you will definitely think that your own Dao skills are not good, and neither can the Master's Dao skills. So! You believe in that witch Ji Xian. And then! You let him show you the face. Outcome! You will be convinced of him completely. You go and talk to him, let him come with you, you introduce me to him, let him show me. ”

The next day, Liezi brought the witch Ji Xian to see the pot.

After Ji Xian looked at the picture of the pot, he didn't dare to say it to his face. After walking out of the door, he said to Liezi, "Oops! I say yes! Your husband is dying! I can't live, I can't live for more than ten days! I observed that he had the strange look and image of a dying man. How so? He was like a pile of ashes that had been splashed with water, and he didn't have the slightest bit of anger. ”

When Liezi heard this, he burst into tears on the spot. When he entered the house, his clothes were wet with tears, and he sadly told the teacher the words of the witch Ji Xian.

The pot said, "The physiognomy and external image I showed him just now are Diwen. Ground Text! What is geographic? As the name suggests, it is the surface image of the earth. The physiognomy and outward image I showed him were like the winter earth, depressed and lifeless. He probably only saw my closed vitality, but he didn't see me pretending. I pretended to be a dying man and tried him. Outcome! He really has some skills. Go tell him again, and let him come and show me again. ”

The next day, Liezi brought the witch Ji Xian to see the pot again.

After Ji Xian looked at the picture of the pot, he didn't say it to his face.

After walking out of the door, he said to Liezi, "Lucky! Your husband has met me! There is salvation! His illness was alleviated and he was completely saved. I have observed that there are signs of imminent movement in his closed life. ”

Liezi happily entered the house and told the teacher the words of the witch Ji Xian.

The pot said, "The physiognomy and external image I showed him just now are the images of heaven and earth sprouting. The face is expressionless, the expression is flat, and the breathing is deep and soothing. He probably only saw that I had a glimmer of life, but he didn't see that I was pretending. I pretended to be recovering from a serious illness, my body was still very weak, I only thought about my body, I didn't care about the world, and I didn't look bothered by the world. Outcome! He really has some skills. Go tell him again, and let him come and show me again. ”

The next day, Liezi brought the witch Ji Xian to see the pot again.

After Ji Xian looked at the picture of the pot, he didn't say it to his face.

After walking out of the door, he said to Liezi: "Your gentleman looks uncertain, his expression is in a trance, I can't see his appearance." When he looks stable, I'll show him the face. ”

Liezi entered the room and told Ji Xian's words to the teacher.

The pot said: "The physiognomy and external image I showed him just now are the image of Taichong. Too rushed! That is, the place where yin and yang meet. One moment the yin is better than the yang, and the other is the yang is better than the yin. So! For a moment he couldn't see the results, but he didn't see that I was pretending.

I pretended to die for a while, and then I pretended to be recovering from a serious illness, and he didn't know if I was going to die or if I could survive. So! He only said to show me when my expression stabilized.

The place where the big fish stay is called the abyss, the place where the river water accumulates is called the abyss, and the place where the flowing water stays is called the abyss. There are nine names for Yuan, and only the above three are mentioned here.

The physiognomy and external image I showed him were only three of the 'appearances'. Go tell him again, and let him come and show me again. ”

The next day, Liezi brought the god witch Xianji to see the teacher pot.

This! Before Ji Xian could stand still, he couldn't run on his own.

The pot said, "Chase him!" ”

Liezi couldn't catch up, and came back to tell the teacher Juzi: "It's gone, he ran away, I couldn't catch up." ”

Then he asked, "What's going on?" Why did he run? ”

The pot said: "The face and appearance I showed him just now are the appearance of an ignorant teenager. I didn't reveal my details, I was just a curious teenager who didn't know anything. I just looked at him, and he couldn't figure out what I was. Thereupon! I changed into a very well-behaved, obedient person who didn't know what to do. He may have seen it: I was pretending, pretending to be submissive, pretending to be obedient, but in fact I was testing him in turn. So! And he fled. ”

After that, Liezi followed the teacher to learn the Tao with sincerity and returned home. He didn't dare to do anything like he used to be, as if he hadn't learned anything. Without going out for three years, he helped his wife cook on the fire and be a good husband.

Feeding pigs is like a waiter, not treating pigs as pigs, but as their own brothers and sisters. Humans and all things come from heaven and earth, and pigs also come from heaven and earth. So! He treats pigs as brothers and sisters.

Treat all kinds of world affairs, regardless of relatives and relatives, and no partiality. The carvings and ornaments of the past have restored them to their original appearance. Everything is just a species that exists on the earth, so let them exist in the world in their own shape! All things are diverse, but they all have their own nature. All things come from the Tao, and eventually they must return to the Tao.

So! They exist as if they didn't exist, and when they come to this world, they are just one thing that has materialized from the Tao. Human beings are just a species materialized by the Tao.

So! Don't chase fame and things outside of you. Because! Man, like all things, is just a species. In the long cycle of life, the human body is like a corpse, just a shape.

So! Don't show your wisdom and strategy too much. Because! Life is just a process of life, just to complete the task of being a human being.

So! Don't try to give advice to others and do useless things. Because! Life is just a process of life, just to complete the task of being a human being.

Experience the ever-moving, endless realm of the cycle of life and forget yourself. Don't treat yourself as a human being, but as one of all things, as a Tao, and reach the state of selflessness.

Let the Tao materialize us into any species, and accept it calmly, without joy or sorrow. Because! The emergence of all life is only the completion of the process of this life.

The hearts of the noble and noble people are like a mirror, and everything is reflected in front of the mirror. Do not deliberately welcome or deliberately exclude, accept but do not hide. They approach the world the same way they look in the mirror, so! It can not only maintain the original nature of things, but also not hurt oneself because of it.

The name of the Great Emperor of the South China Sea is 儵, the name of the Great Emperor of the North Sea is Hu, and the name of the Central Emperor is Chaos. They often meet in a chaotic place, and the chaos treats them very richly. He and Su discussed together how to repay Chaochao's hospitality, and said: "A man has seven orifices for seeing, hearing, eating, and breathing, but Chaos, but he doesn't, so we try to cut seven holes for him." ”

Thereupon! They dug a hole every day, and for seven days, chaos died.

But! As he wished, Chaos really became a human being.

After Chaos became a human, he never treated him with hospitality.

Chaos becomes a human being, and the world changes because of it.
