Chapter 412: Zhuangzi Accepts Disciples

"This, this, this? What can I do? ”

Hearing Mrs. say this, the adult of Pusbag Town was even more frightened!

"What to do? Just do what Zhuangzi said! Mrs. Sister-in-law said firmly.

"Promise Zhuangzi's resignation? But on the surface, he still holds the position of a town official and deceives the people of Qiyuan? This, this, this? Sooner or later, someone will find out about this? This? This can be hidden for a while, but it can't be hidden for a lifetime! ”

Mrs. Sister-in-law said impatiently: "You let Zhuangzi continue to serve as a town official, and still make a fortune as usual, can't you hide it for a while, but you can't hide it for a lifetime?" If the state finds out, you should be guilty of a capital offense! ”

Seeing the pus-filled appearance of the town elder, Zhang Shan interjected: "I also think that this method is very good!" Resign! If you are not in office, you can't continue to take money, which is good for the mayor! He also didn't discredit the master, saying that the master didn't do anything and received the Song State's Yulu. ”

"Go, go, go! Just as you can! Seeing that Zhang Shan was also helping on the side, the town chief suddenly became angry and shouted at Zhang Shan.

Then! The servants of the family brought mouthwash and face wash and waited for Zhuangzi to wash.

After washing, the kitchen immediately brought it up for breakfast.

Zhuangzi was not polite, and began to eat and drink in large gulps.

"There you go! Let's go through the formalities now! When Mrs. Sister-in-law saw that Pu Bao Fujun was going to sprinkle his anger on Zhang Shan, she commanded him.

"This, this, this? Is this really possible? ”

Mrs. Sister-in-law ignored him and said, "By the way! Give him a clearance paper. ”

"This, this, this? Is this really? ”

"Go?" Mrs. Sister-in-law urged: "Didn't you hear, Zhuangzi said, he will leave tonight?" Do you hear that? ”

"This, this, this? Is this still true? This? ”

At the urging of his sister-in-law, the elder of Pubao Town had to go to the lobby of the town office to go through the relevant procedures.

Zhuangzi had a full stomach and felt much more comfortable. But! I suddenly remembered Uncle Liezi again. Alas! It would be nice if I could be like Uncle Liezi and not eat the fireworks of the world!

Seeing that the town elder was leaving, Zhang Shan glanced at his sister-in-law, and the two stood up, came to Zhuangzi, knelt on their knees, and made a big salute.

"This, this, this? What do you mean by that? Sister-in-law? What do you mean by that? ”

Zhuangzi said, hurriedly got up, first helped his sister-in-law up, then helped Zhang Shan up, and glared at Zhang Shan.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Zhang Shan was not only not afraid this time, but also laughed "cough cough cough".

"What are you doing?" Zhuangzi shouted in a low voice.

Zhang Shan didn't answer, and turned his eyes to his sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean?" Zhuangzi asked again.

"Apprentice!" Mrs. Sister-in-law said seriously.

"Apprenticeship?"

"We decided! Apprenticeship in a serious way! Worship you as a teacher! Zhang Shan also replied on the side.

"This, this, this?"

Zhuangzi thought for a while and shouted at Zhang Shan: "Didn't I promise to accept you?" You? Didn't I already teach you to cultivate the Taoist mind? You? How else do you want to recognize a teacher? You? What other 'apprenticeship ceremony' are you going to perform? You?

Do you want the world to know that you Zhang Shan is a disciple recognized by my Zhuang Zhou? You? What do you mean? Do you want the world to know that I, Zhuang Zhou, taught you such a disciple? Your brain, huh? You? You're trying to smear my face, discredit my Taoism, don't you? ”

"It's not! No! Zhang Shan said urgently.

"And what do you mean?"

"Me, me, me? I? I've decided! I am willing to follow Master all my life, to the ends of the earth, to learn, preach, and protect the Dharma! I? I? I? I know me! I'm not stupid! Master! Am I too heavily influenced by traditional rituals, me? I? I'm not stupid, my mindset hasn't changed yet! I? Master! ”

Zhuangzi looked at Zhang Shan and wanted to say something. But! I feel that it is not good to have my sister-in-law and wife present, and it is not good to continue talking.

"We Taoists don't pay attention to those superficial forms! Apprenticeship rituals are useless. It's only true if we want it in our hearts! If you are willing to worship me as a teacher, even if I don't recognize you as a disciple, I will still be your master. And I am willing to teach you, even if there is no apprenticeship ceremony, I will treat you as a disciple. ”

Seeing that Zhuangzi was embarrassed by Zhang Shan, Mrs. Sister-in-law hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What do I think? Sometimes, formalism is still needed. Not that we need, but! The world needs it. Otherwise? How do others know that we are in a mentor-apprentice relationship? Isn't it? ”

"This?" Zhuangzi pondered for a moment and replied, "Why do you have to separate the master-apprentice relationship?" Isn't that great? ”

Mrs. Sister-in-law asked, "Then you regard me as your disciple?" ”

Zhuangzi smiled: "You are my sister-in-law, the person I respect the most!" How dare I treat you as a disciple? ”

"This, this, this?" Mrs. Sister-in-law asked, "That?" Am I your disciple? I? ”

"You are a Taoist disciple!"

"Taoist disciple? So whose disciple am I? Who do I learn from Taoists? I? I always have a teacher, right? ”

"Who do you think you learned from, who you have been inspired the most, and who you think is your master, who is your master!"

Mrs. Sister-in-law said excitedly: "Isn't this enough? I think you Zhuangzi is my master? ”

"This?" Zhuangzi touched his head and said, "Why do you have to recognize me as your master?" Sister-in-law? You, you, you! You might meet someone who can inspire you more than I do? Isn't it? I? I've only been preaching to you for a few days? Isn't it? You are my sister-in-law! How can you be my disciple and recognize me as a teacher? You? You're not killing me? ”

"Master! You're thinking too much! ”

"Master! Didn't you say? Don't stick to the number of courtesies? You? Why do you have to be serious? Zhang Shan said on the side.

"Where am I thinking too much?" Seeing Zhang Shan interjecting on the side again, Zhuangzi drank at him again!

Zhang Shan was not afraid at all, and explained confidently: "Why do you insist that your sister-in-law is your sister-in-law? Why don't you let your sister-in-law worship you as a teacher? ”

"Me, me, me? Am I not? For a while, Zhuangzi was really asked by Zhang Shan.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Mrs. Sister-in-law glanced at Zhang Shan and said, "Apprentice!" Apprentice! ”

And then! He knelt down to Zhuangzi again, and according to the number of rituals of the week, he gave Zhuangzi a great bow to the teacher.

Seeing this, Zhang Shan stopped arguing, quickly knelt down, and kowtowed to Zhuangzi seriously!

"Good, good! Get up! Get up! Get up! I'm convinced! Get up! ”

"Master admits that we are disciples in the room, let's get up!"

Mrs. Sister-in-law and Zhang Shan ignored Zhuangzi, and Zhuangzi didn't get up if he didn't admit them!

Zhuangzi was forced to be helpless, so he had to say: "Okay, good! I admit it! Admit! That's it! Get up! Get up! ”

Seeing that Zhuangzi confessed, his sister-in-law and Zhang Shan got up.

"Master!"

"Master!"

After the two of them got up, they bowed to the master again and shouted.
