Zhang Shanfeng got up from the ground, smirked and left, to prepare wine and food.

In the palace, there is no vegetable market. Whatever you want, you can go to the storeroom to get it. The treasury in the palace is similar to the vegetable market outside, and there is everything inside. There were comprador officials in the palace to ensure the necessities of life for all the people inside.

Some fresh vegetables are bought from outside. Or! There is a "Royal Exclusive", which is purchased from the prescribed channels. Almost all of the dry goods are tributes from the vassal states below.

For officials like Lao Tzu who live in the palace, you can go to the treasury to get food, or you can go outside and buy it yourself. But! It's very inconvenient to go out and buy it. Because! When entering the palace, it is necessary to carry out strict inspections to prevent accidents.

The comprador staff did not enter and exit the main entrance of the palace, but the side gate.

Zhang Shanfeng naturally wouldn't go outside to buy it, and went directly to the warehouse to pick it up. After signing and painting, it will be deducted on Lao Tzu's Yulu in the future. Other than that! Lao Tzu is a senior official of the imperial court, and many of them are welfare subsidies and do not need money.

Zhang Shanfeng shook his head as he walked, he had to obey! If you want to surpass Master's martial arts, you have to work hard. Though! He didn't do his best just now, but he was already working hard.

Not doing his best means that he has not used all his strength, and he has not used ten percent of his strength. But he still lost to Master in terms of skills. In any case, if Master lifts your veil, you will lose.

He wanted to surpass his master in martial arts, but he didn't mean to defeat his master and make him lose face.

All these years! His skills have improved a lot, and he has hardly met opponents. Of course! He didn't fight Zi Nian, Zi Luo and others. Because of the power struggle in the palace and the rebellion of the prince Ji Dynasty, Zinian and Ziluo were very busy, and he wanted to find someone to compete, but he couldn't speak.

has followed Lao Tzu for so many years, and most of the people who have interacted with Lao Tzu are literati. Even if there is martial arts, people have seen through the red dust and are unwilling to show martial arts. So! Zhang Shanfeng has the feeling of "seeking defeat alone", without the loneliness of his opponent.

It was for this reason that he made a joke with Master Fang Jishi and fought with Master.

Zhang Shanfeng used to be a thin man! No! It's a teenager who has just come of age. Right now! He was a complete adult and a burly man. So! Fang Jishi did not look out from the appearance for a while.

Furthermore! I heard that Zhang Shanfeng followed Lao Tzu to Yunyou, and he was not in the palace. So! Fang Jishi didn't pay attention, so he didn't recognize him.

Lao Tzu said that Confucius would forget it, and then the two talked about their respective things after separation. More often than not, it's Fang Keystone who asks what's going on at the palace.

"Alas! This Ji Dynasty! He understands everything, but he's just stubborn! I preached to him, and he understood the sermon thoroughly. But? He just doesn't accept Taoism and doesn't want to change his life? I want to persuade him to give up his wrong ideas, but? I tried to persuade him, but he tried every means to frame me! ……”

Lao Tzu told the prince about the Ji Dynasty.

This Ji Dynasty, in terms of talent, is indeed stronger than Zhou Mourning Wang Ji Meng. But he is just a tendon in his head, and he is unwilling to accept your Taoism. He decided: He wants to be the son of Zhou Tianzi. Under this obsession, he turned from a human to a ghost step by step.

Genius turned into a devil.

"What's wrong with your Taoism?" Fang Jishi asked puzzledly: "It's been thousands of years, and there are still not many people who are willing to accept and change?" ”

"How many years? Thousands of years? Where? Only a few years? How many years have you been in Luoyi? How many years have you and I known each other? If it weren't for you! I don't know how many years it will take for my Taoism to be published? Isn't it? ”

"I mean to say! More than 2,000 years later, in the era I lived in, people still didn't want to accept ......"

"Prejudice! It's all the fault of prejudice! The Zhou Dynasty's hundreds of years of Zhou etiquette and Zhou system education have made people's heads in this era ossified. A long time before the week when people's minds were in confusion, and before that, there was a period of equilibrium. In times of balance, people often become preconceived......"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Fang Jishi said with deep feelings: "People in the stable period think that this is life, this is life. So! He thinks that everything in front of him is the truth. It is only in troubled times that people begin to think about life......"

"Not everyone is thinking about life! Only wise people are thinking about life and looking for a way out for mankind. ”

Zhang Shanfeng brought the food, and made the food himself.

Under Lao Tzu's tutelage, he lived happily and did everything. After doing his own job, in his spare time, in addition to practicing martial arts, he is a little naughty and joking with the guards.

In this troubled world, Zhang Shanfeng is an optimistic person. Albeit! There were frequent battles in the palace, and some of the battles would come to his side. But with his martial arts, he thinks it's very fun.

Those who want to burn or kill Lao Tzu, after meeting him, one by one end in failure, and often lose their lives.

"You don't want to die? Die before you play three times! It's not interesting. ”

The person who saw it either died or ran away, and he seemed very disappointed, disappointed in his defeat.

During the meal, Zhang Shanfeng also sat on the side and ate together. Lao Tzu and Master Fang Jishi were eating and drinking and talking at the same time, and he was listening carefully while eating. At this time, he didn't dare to be naughty.

Zhang Shanfeng's naughtiness depends on the occasion. He behaves differently depending on the occasion. When Lao Tzu preached, he was the protector of the Dharma. In normal times, he is Lao Tzu's scholar. When there are guests, Zhang Shanfeng behaves differently in front of different guests, leaving different impressions on different guests.

"I found out! Only the poor! They are willing and want to change the status quo, kings and hereditary nobles! They clearly know that Taoism is the real study of life, but it is not easy for people to change ......," Lao Tzu sighed.

He has discovered this through all these years of preaching. But! He could not break the pattern and make the kings and hereditary nobles change their minds.

Of course! This is not the case for all kings and hereditary nobles. For example, King Zhou Jing! People are also nobles, kings, and the Son of Heaven, so they are willing to change their ideas.

"Those who dare not face the future, they are not willing to change. Because! For them, the future is unknown, and the present, there is visible happiness. In the royal family, as long as you inherit the title, you will have no worries about food and clothing. You ask them to change, and they will rush with you......"

"Actually! Changing mindsets is not about changing their lives! But they just don't listen to you! They said! If the ideology changes, the way of life will change, and no matter how you explain it, they just won't listen.

They said? How could it not? You say that man comes from the Tao, from heaven and earth, and that man is just a special thing like other things. So! With this mindset, I was transformed from a hereditary aristocrat into a being. Man is going to die! Die early and die late to die the same as death, so! I'm going to live a passive life.

If I live passively, I don't fight for the title, if I don't inherit the title, my descendants and I will be reduced to commoners, and we will live a hard life...... So! Your Taoism makes sense, but I can't accept it, I can't accept it......"
