Chapter 396: Zhuangzi Enlightenment in a Dream

"The appearance is vicissitudes, lying in the weeds, I don't know how many years have been blown by the wind and rain."

"Zhuangzi jumped off his horse and struck the skeleton with a whip a few times, and the skeleton made a 'clang' sound, as if it were talking to him."

Xu Miaoyun shuddered when she heard this, and returned to reality from her cranky thoughts.

So Zhuangzi tapped twice and asked, "Is it because Mr. is greedy for physical enjoyment and goes against the way of health preservation?"

Lin Che poured himself a glass of water and moistened his throat:

"Hit it twice."

"Or did you die because you encountered a major event of the death of the country and was hunted down and killed?"

"Keep banging."

"Or did you do something embarrassing, afraid of leaving shame on your parents, wife and children, so you committed suicide in shame?"

"It's the same kind of beating."

"Is that because of the cold, or the scourge of hunger?"

"Finally two hits."

"Why don't you just enjoy your old age and grow old naturally?"

After a pause, Lin Che said calmly: "After finishing speaking, Zhuangzi lit a bonfire in the same place, and then fell asleep with the skeleton on his pillow. ”

Xu Miaoyun: "??? ”

"In the middle of the night, Zhuangzi dreamed of the owner of the skeleton, and the other party said: Listen to you, like a person who is good at debating, when you have not asked the point."

"Asked nonsense for a long time."

Lin Che handed the remaining half a glass of water to the stunned Xu Miaoyun, and asked with interest:

"Do you want to guess what the skeleton said to Zhuangzi next?"

"Zhuangzi realized the Tao in his dream, what did he realize?"

Xu Miaoyun: "!! ”

Hear that.

Xu Miaoyun shuddered involuntarily, only to feel that the goosebumps on her body were rising.

The name is the story of Lin Chejian, but it is inexplicably a little infiltrating.

After all, in this era, people are extremely awe-inspiring for ghosts and gods, and even the high-ranking emperor is very shy about these things.

Knock on the skeleton, sleep on the pillow, and chat in your dreams.

If it were an ordinary person, it is estimated that he would have been scared to death.

It's outrageous.

Seeing that the girl tightened her humble duties for a long time without squeaking, Lin Che couldn't help but shake her head and laugh, and then didn't tease her again:

"The skeleton said to Zhuangzi: The sad things you said earlier are just the troubles of the living, and only you will worry about them."

"No dead man wants to answer the questions of the living."

"Do you want to hear about the pleasures of the dead, though?"

Hearing this, Xu Miaoyun frowned, and she didn't know how to answer, thinking to herself, where did the dead get their happiness.

Could it be that there really is Elysium?

If a person dies like a lamp goes out, how can he talk about happiness?

Isn't that too contradictory?

"Zhuangzi said without thinking that he wanted to hear it."

After a pause, Lin Che continued:

The owner of the skeleton said, "One, you will not be ruled by others at the top, you will not be troubled by the officials at the bottom, and you will not worry about the end of your life. ”

"I'm not worried about class differences."

"No need to count the time, no need to worry about the heat and cold, happier than any monarch."

"However, Zhuangzi didn't believe in this, so he said: I am an old friend with the god who is in charge of life, and I can restore your life."

"Give you a body."

"Then I will send you back to your hometown and be accompanied by your temperament children."

"If you want, I'll talk to her, and you see how it is..."

Hear this.

Xu Miaoyun's eyes widened in disbelief, and her eyes were full of confusion when she looked at Lin Che.

He rummaged through the memories in his mind, and he couldn't remember when Zhuangzi had befriended the immortals.

How can it become more and more fantastical.

"This, Mr. Lin, does the eldest son really have the ability to communicate with immortals?

"Can help the owner of the skeleton to reshape his body and return to the yang world?"

Faced with the girl's surprise and incomprehension, Lin Che waved his hand lightly, signaling the other party to calm down and not to worry, and said slowly: "After hearing this, the skeleton owner immediately showed extreme displeasure, and immediately rejected Zhuangzi's proposal, and refuted sharply. ”

"Do you want me to give up the joy of being a king and go back to the world to suffer?"

"The dead have long looked down on life and death, and life and death are the things that you living people care about, not what we dead people pursue."

With that, he left angrily.

"The dream also came to an abrupt end."

Looking at the stunned Xu Miaoyun, Lin Che smiled and explained:

"In fact, Zhuangzi does not have the ability to communicate with the immortals, it is nothing more than to tease the owner of the skeleton, in other words, it is also to verify the true avenue."

"The Taoist ancestor said: Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature."

"People's pursuit of happiness is not an obsession."

"Everything comes from opportunity, and everything enters into opportunity, this is Zhuangzi's answer to the changes in the world, and everything that people see, hear, and perceive is nothing but the process of change of all things."

"Even yourselves are changing into something else, and being changed by something else..."

Lin Che looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window with some sadness.

"In life, there is a past self dying at every moment, a new self dying at every moment, and a new self being born at every moment."

"When the cycle of death and life and death is endless, thousands of changes have become the only inconvenient thing in the world."

"Therefore, why rejoice in life, why worry about death, existence is a kind of chance, and death is also an inevitability."

"In short, if you look at it with some enthusiasm, everything is out of your control."

"Therefore, helplessness and sadness will inevitably arise, and when you observe it with incomparably cold eyes, the sublimation between heaven and earth is especially in the natural order."

Lin Che concluded

"People are just in a certain chain, everyone is a lifelong fate, and the most important thing is to live well now."

"When will life and death rest, and things will change and the stars will change and the spring and autumn will be restored."

"What impermanence and constancy?"

"What is life and death?"

"These thoughts are the source of trouble!"

"Heaven and earth are inherently inactive, and if the world can be unintentional, thousands of forms will eventually come to one."

If people "have not tasted death and have not tasted life", these useless thoughts are really nothing more than wasted labor. ”

"The more you pursue happiness, the more you stay away."

"Only those who know how to stop and examine their hearts are those who have attained enlightenment in the true sense."

The words fell.

Xu Miaoyun thought thoughtfully, suppressed the shock in her heart at the moment, and nodded solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. for your advice." ”

"The little girl was taught."

"The more you want too much, the more counterproductive it is, and the process of chasing those things is not a search for pleasure at all, but for the satisfaction of selfish desires."

"If you have desires, you will suffer if you don't want them."

"And know how to stop and look inside"

"How many people have been able to do it throughout the ages?"

"Very rare, one in a million!"
