The villagers dragged Wu Yi back to the village, but Lao Tzu did not follow, and stayed to talk to Fang Jishi.

Fang Jishi was also very excited, and met Lao Tzu again.

They haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and both of them seem very excited.

"Are you okay?" Lao Tzu asked.

"Are you okay?" Fang Jishi asked at the same time.

After talking about the old days, the two held hands and walked towards the village. Back in the village, the two did not go to the villagers, but to Lao Tzu's house.

The home is gone, but the original location is still there.

Back in the middle of the courtyard, the two sat on the ground. There is no tea, no water, but there is no end to it.

On the villagers' side, Wu Yi's howls were heard from time to time.

"Ouch!"

"Kill me!"

"It hurts!"

"Woo woo woo ......"

What is the feeling that life is worse than death? At this moment, Wu Yi is experiencing this feeling. The pain he had given to others was rewarded one by one.

It's true: good is rewarded, evil is rewarded, it's not that it is not repaid, the time has not come!

After a while, a villager brought a plate of barbecue and a pot of old wine.

Lao Tzu and Fang Jishi didn't eat barbecue, but just took two glasses of wine and continued to talk while drinking.

After dawn, people from neighboring villages also rushed over to help the villagers deal with the funeral and clean up the battlefield. Seeing that the wicked Wu Yi was captured alive, they were all happy. Many of their relatives died in Wu Yi's slaughterhouse.

But! Seeing the villagers punishing Wu Yi like that, he couldn't bear it. But they didn't persuade them, they just couldn't bear to look at them.

Although many people died this time, there was still a harvest. More than 20 Chu people have more than 20 horses, and there are also a lot of property.

The bags on the backs of these Chu people were full of plundered gold, silver, and jade, as well as other valuable things.

Where did these Chu people think of death? They came to other countries to plunder. Just like the Hu people in the north, coming to the Central Plains to plunder was a way for them to make a fortune.

"I'm ready to resign!" Lao Tzu said seriously.

"Resigned?"

"I'm going to preach!"

"Preaching?"

"I want to spread my Taoism to the world!"

"Others won't let you spread it, they're not the Great Zhou Tianzi, they're mortals! No! They are all a bunch of selfish villains! If your Taoism spreads, it will affect their misdeeds......"

Lao Tzu interrupted: "I have made up my mind!" ”

"If you must preach and spread the word, I can only promise you and do my best to protect you! But! You can't take too many risks and risk your own life. That's it! I can't protect you alone! ”

"Thank you!" Lao Tzu thanked him and said, "It's enough to have your words!" I know! I'm not going to risk my life! If I can preach publicly, I will preach publicly, but if I can't preach publicly, I can't preach in secret? ”

"I just want to say! Your Taoism is so profound that more than 2,000 years later, there are still countless people who do not understand what Taoism is. You said? You? Can you simplify Taoism a little more, explain it more simply, and make it easier to understand? ……”

"This?" Lao Tzu shook his head and sighed: "Maybe? My Taoism can only be taught to highly intelligent people, and those who are mentally retarded and vulgar may never understand it! Alas! ”

Over there! Wu Yi's shouts were no longer heard. As you can imagine! This evil guy has already gone to the underworld to report.

After a while, another villager came to inform Lao Tzu, saying that he had dug out the heart of the wicked Wu Yi and was ready to sacrifice to his relatives, and invited Lao Tzu to come over and participate in the sacrifice together.

Seeing that Lao Tzu and Fang Jishi didn't eat the plate of barbecue, he picked it up angrily and poured it out.

"Wu Yi's wicked people's meat, dogs don't eat it!"

Lao Tzu looked at the man puzzled and did not speak.

Fang Jishi shook his head and didn't speak. When it was brought just now, he guessed that this plate of barbecue was definitely ......

"His meat had a sour smell and he couldn't eat it, just like he didn't eat it if he sprinkled it with salt. Throwing it to the wild dog to eat, the wild dog vomited after taking it away, and didn't eat ......"

Lao Tzu didn't go to the sacrificial event, and continued to talk to Fang Jishi.

Enlightened, he had a special impulse to spread his Taoism to the world.

This world needs a new doctrine, Zhou Chaoqi is exhausted, and Zhou Li and Zhou system can no longer save this world.

Human beings need etiquette and law, but they also need a new philosophy of existence. If we do not solve the problem of the origin of man, the origin of the earth, and the origin of the universe, and let mankind recognize itself, the world will never be at peace.

So! Lao Tzu was anxious to spread his Taoism.

Although it is contrary to the way of nature, it is the most urgent need of mankind.

Afternoon! After the villagers finished the sacrifice, they all came to Lao Tzu's house to thank Fang Jishi.

Without the arrival of Fang Jishi, with their ability, they would not be able to kill the wicked Wu Yi.

Fang Jishi did not refuse the kindness of the villagers either, but! Only verbal acknowledgments were accepted, and no money was received. The villagers all took out their most precious Dongdong and offered it to him, but he didn't ask for it.

After a polite form of thanks, under Fang Jishi's suggestion, Lao Tzu stopped grieving and cultivating, and was ready to start building a house.

Lao Tzu wanted to use the mourning period to explain Taoism to the villagers, spread his Taoism, and benefit the villagers and mankind.

Now Lao Tzu is no longer bound by Zhou Li, and the mourning and filial piety have become floating clouds, but he can't completely betray him.

After all! The Zhou system and Zhou rites have been passed down for hundreds of years, and they are deeply rooted, and the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty think that this is life and must be observed.

So! Lao Tzu, he can't disobey.

What if he doesn't follow the weekly system to keep filial piety and mourning? Maybe someone will report to the official, saying that you are rebellious and do not abide by the weekly etiquette and system, and you will be imprisoned or punished.

Furthermore! Lao Tzu was a great official of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and he should abide by the Zhou system.

Two days later, the special combat team of the Jin Kingdom came, and the number of people increased, and Lao Tzu's house was quickly built. It was not fully restored, and only a row of houses on this side of the hall were built. The yard was cleared out, and the wings and other places were not rebuilt.

Cover it again, the price is too great.

Although Lao Tzu was a Tibetan official in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, his salary was not high. Furthermore! Most of his money was spent on the restoration of ancient books. So! He also didn't have the money to build a house again.

That's already good!

Because! He didn't plan to stay in his hometown for long. After the funeral, he had to go back to Luoyi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to resign. And then! Walk the world of the Great Zhou and spread his Taoist teachings.

Fang Jishi promised the Duke of Jin to support the new monarch to ascend the throne and let the power of the Jin State be smoothly transferred. But considering that Lao Tzu was very dangerous alone, he had to stay.

On the Jin side, there is no situation for the time being. Those opposition forces are in the stage of hiding their strength and do not dare to act rashly. So! It doesn't matter if he returns to the Jin Kingdom or not.

Since he is the "Dharma Protector General" given by the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he has the responsibility to protect Lao Tzu's preaching and be a good protector of the Dharma.
