Hearing Zhuangzi say this, the money shopkeeper sat down opposite, and his eyes became stupid. The Zhuangzi in front of him seemed to have suddenly become unfamiliar.

"You? You? You? ”

After the money shopkeeper said three "you" words, he didn't say any more.

"I am a Taoist! I am a disciple of Yang Zhu and the inheritor of Taoist doctrine! But! I'm human too! This road is not passable, I can take a detour. Preach! It's my life's work. But! As a son, a husband, and a father, I must be like everyone else. Not necessarily! It's the necessity of human nature! If I am an unqualified son, husband, father, or ancestor, what qualifications do I have to preach? ”

Zhuangzi said, and spread his hands towards the money shopkeeper.

Since the money shopkeeper chopped his fingers, until now, he has not left his seat. It's just that! In the previous moment, he moved. His right hand was covered with blood. When he grabbed the money shopkeeper's severed finger just now, he was stained with blood. Blood stained his clothes, and it was terrible. But! Zhuangzi was like a cold-blooded animal, looking at the money shopkeeper with his eyes and continuing his words.

"You? You? You? The shopkeeper suddenly changed his voice and asked, "Did you really decide to go to Qi Country first, and then decide on the matter of Qiyuan?" ”

Zhuangzi nodded and said, "Really! ”

"Hmmm! I believe you! ”

"Not so! If something happens to my mother, I won't be at ease for the rest of my life! There is no way! No matter how successful I am in preaching and spreading the Tao to the whole world, I will be shamed. A person who can't even take care of his parents, wife, and children, even if he has achieved something, he is not despised by others. ”

"Hmmm! You have a point! The money shopkeeper nodded in approval.

"I'm sure my mother will support me! I also believe that Rong'er will support me as well! I believe! Sister Qing'er will also support me! And for sale! I believe in them! So! I will be back from Qi soon!

If it hadn't been delayed, I would have found my mother! Alas! If I hadn't come to the lacquer garden first, when I found my mother and them, I would have brought them to the lacquer garden, how nice it would be! ”

As Zhuangzi spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the sharp knife on the table, stretched out his left index finger, and the sharp knife slashed, a piece of flesh overturned, and a stream of blood gushed out. Reach your bleeding finger to the wine glass where the money shopkeeper soaked the broken finger just now, and let the blood flow in.

"You?" The money shopkeeper was shocked!

"Actually! I don't believe in the oath! The oath is tantamount to farting and has no practical meaning. I don't even believe in any spells, it's just a psychological suggestion of deception! If you believe, you will have, and if you don't believe, you will not. When I first swore an oath, I said in my heart, "I lied to you, and the spell will not work." ”

As he spoke, Zhuangzi withdrew his fingers, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and bandaged the broken finger. This handkerchief was specially prepared for him by the seller, to wipe his sweat, and a red flower was embroidered on it.

"You? You? You still don't believe me? You? The money shopkeeper looked at Zhuangzi talking to himself alone, bandaging his fingers, and asked.

"It's not that I don't believe it! I'm telling the truth, don't you mind! I hope that you will never believe in other people's oaths to you in the future. Do you have an oath with Bai Lao? Isn't it? ”

As he spoke, Zhuangzi picked up the wine that had been infused with the blood of the two fingers and poured some into his own glass. And then! He picked up his glass and said, "Let's make an exception today!" Drink the blood wine and vow! ”

"Drink!"

"Drink!"

The money shopkeeper picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

After drinking the blood wine of the oath, Zhuangzi put down the wine glass, looked at the money shopkeeper, and said: "Your performance today also disappointed me Zhuang Zhou!" You? ”

"Oh?"

"As a human spirit, you should be clear! You shouldn't have pressed me so eagerly to say yes! Not only am I a Taoist, but I am also replaced by any person, the more you persecute the more uneasy it is! I know! Yours for whom! But! Taoists are not persecuted! Even if you drink the alliance wine? Isn't it? ”

"Me?"

"Don't say you're in a hurry and want to make a decision quickly. But? Nothing comes in a hurry, does it? Everything has to go with its flow! Naturally, it comes naturally! That's it! ”

"Me?"

"Actually! If you want me to reassure, you don't need an oath, let alone an oath. But! Practical actions that Taoism speaks of! You have proved with practical actions that you are stronger than anything else and are convincing! ”

"Me?"

"Don't you say that we haven't had a deep talk yet? Isn't it? In fact! We've all made friends with each other! We all believe in each other. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you, and you wouldn't have broken your oath! Isn't it? ”

"Me?"

"We've already drunk the wine! But I'm still going to tell you! I'm not going to tell you how I'm going to be! I want to develop the military, how and how! You know! You're not going to ask for anything out of my mouth.

In fact! It's not that I said it myself, nodded my head, and it was done. But! The key is to see how everyone does it! No matter how well I plan it, it's useless. Isn't it?

Why do you want me to nod yes and admit it myself? As a human spirit! You're not doing it right! How do you think you are a spy, you are here to find out information, and you are here to get my Zhuang Zhou's confession......"

"This, this, this?" Hearing Zhuangzi say this, the money shopkeeper suddenly felt that his approach was indeed stupid.

"That's it! All right! Drink! ”

"Yes! Drink! "The money shopkeeper had to obey Zhuangzi. At first, he thought that Zhuangzi was immature, and as a result! But he became immature! Alas! I always thought I was doing things steadily, and as a result! There are also locals who are more stable than themselves, and this person is Zhuangzi!

Alas! And no wonder! Yang Zhu wants to choose him, a child whose hair has not yet grown, as the inheritance of Taoist doctrine. No wonder! Baekyu got married in a hurry. The two of them are human spirits! People can see at a glance that Zhuangzi is extraordinary.

"Taoism governs the world, not on you and me! Do not rely on the supreme power holders, do not rely on the actions of officials, and rely entirely on yourself. Only with autonomy can the world be governed. So! We don't need to openly develop our military strength here in Qiyuan, here in Qiyuan, everyone is a soldier! Here in Qiyuan, there are tens of thousands of people and tens of thousands of troops! Not to mention 10,000 troops.

The point is! How are we going to educate them? We are not teaching them how to invade others and rob others. We need to educate them and teach them how to protect themselves. Only when everyone learns to protect themselves will everyone become a soldier.

First educate them to protect themselves, and to practice martial arts and formations. Martial arts are to be practiced by individuals, and formations are based on the family. Learn to protect yourself first, and then! It's the family. And then! Let me tell you, what should we do when the enemy's powerful forces come to invade our lacquer garden? At this time, these high-quality people can be combined and formed into an army......"

To form an army too early will only expose it prematurely. Furthermore! Qiyuan people may not necessarily believe what you say. Only when a foreign invasion comes, can the army be formed. At this time, the formation of an army is a matter of course.

"At this stage, we can use the affairs of Dai Daguan to create public opinion in the Qiyuan and activate the war-ready thinking of the people in the Qiyuan. Only when everyone has a sense of danger can they be willing to practice martial arts, form a family defense team, and practice formations......"
