In the courtyard of the gambling house, a gambling table is surrounded by ghosts and yin gods on three floors and three floors, no less than hundreds, Xie Lingyun and Mi Long are standing on both sides of the gaming table, and the three gambling ghosts randomly selected at this time are pouring thoughts into the two dice.

They are all gamblers, there are no gambling house doormen, it will be fine soon, Milong asked Xie Lingyun to pick one first, he was not verbose, the three thoughts in it were the same, and he took one directly.

Then the two blessed the divine light, the audience was silent, and all the spectators were very nervous, this was a battle of the gods of gambling

Gently stroking the dice in his hand, Xie Lingyun silently sensed, and the three thoughts in the dice flashed in his heart one by one: "I want to win, I want to win." "There's a lot of money on the table, and I want to take it. "They are really bold enough to open such a big gamble. ”

One is the gain or loss of victory or defeat, the other is the desire to steal, and the other is admiration for pride.

How to use the three? Xie Lingyun looked at the lost dragon, only to see that he smiled slightly, and seemed to have an idea.

What the opponent thinks is secondary, the key is how to perceive it, if you want the dice to be strong and sharp, your own divine light and thoughts must be fused together, because you can't kill and change, you have to follow them. He closed his eyes and pondered them, the strongest and most difficult of them to deal with, undoubtedly the desire to steal...... Steal?

After a while, the chaotic mind gradually settled, and he officially added divine light to the dice, this "bowl" is far larger than the ordinary dice last time, and it will definitely be a fierce battle......

The dice were all a ball of black gas, and in a blink of an eye, they became colorful and glowing with golden light-

"It's all up. Seeing that the gambling game was about to begin, all the ghosts shouted: "Is there a winning and losing gambling market? I buy the gambling money god to win", "Winning must be won by the gambling money god, why don't you bet Xie Kid to hold on for a few breaths?" They really took out the money and quickly set up many peripheral gambling games.

One game to decide the winner

Under the gaze of all the ghosts with different expressions, Xie Lingyun and Milong all raised the golden dice, and suddenly threw the dice at the dice basin on the table, and the two golden arc coins crossed, and as soon as the two golden dice fell on the basin, they immediately collided violently, making a banging sound, and the divine light splashed everywhere

"Wow", "Sure enough", "Hold on a little longer" The ghost voices were mixed, and the dice of the dragon in the basin who were nervous, excited, and surprised were very strong, almost pressing the other party to collide, and Xie Xiaozi's poor dice were only three colors left

The gloomy willow eyebrows frowned and did not let go, how could the Lord be vulnerable, could he lose like this......

At this time, the lost dragon suddenly smiled and said: "Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be the princes."

The words were firm and domineering, almost in response, and his dice shone violently, and the attack immediately became more ferocious, slapping the enemy dice like a raging wave

This is a famous saying in "Zhuangzi Zheng", the person who steals an iron hook will be killed, but the person who steals a country is the princes.

Xie Lingyun doesn't understand, the divine light blessed by the dragon is exactly this sentence, if you want to steal, you can steal, if you want to gamble, you can gamble, as long as you win, you are the prince This is also the courage of the ranger, the courage of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and the thief Hou This is domineering

Many of the ghosts were scholars before their deaths, especially the city gods from all over the country who could be appreciated by the Emperor Dongyue, all of them read through the classics, they already knew the Tao, some people were already sighing, the overall situation has been decided, the words of the lost dragon stood at the highest point of theft, in the face of the same thought, what does Xie Lingyun want to bless in order to reverse and win? impossible

Bang bang bang

Suddenly, the dice of the lost dragon dimmed, and then another, and the dice of the three-color Xie boy seemed to have just exerted their strength......

"What's going on?", "What" The gamblers all stared in shock, and the dragon frowned slightly...... What did he bless?

Xie Lingyun said lightly: "Thief, also, yes, Dao." ”

The same sentence "Zhuangzi Zheng"

"There is a way to steal" Mi Long's eyes narrowed, his eyes were full of disbelief, if this was the case, how could it be his understanding......

"Okay" The person who shouted was Xue Rui, in fact, he had been there all along, but he didn't come forward because he was afraid that the dragon would collect debts, because he already owed hundreds of taels ...... But now, he couldn't help but cheer for his brother, and floated out, shouting, "Wonderful, wonderful"

The changes in the two-color dice pot made the gamblers almost all crazy, and the gambling god fell down

Although he was very excited and surprised, Youqi couldn't understand it, and looked at Xie Lingyun suspiciously, why did this happen?

"Thief" Suddenly, another city god exclaimed, and Xue Rui explained endlessly, and the other literati and ghosts were able to slowly figure it out, and they all had a shocking feeling, "He actually regarded the thief as "so bold and bold, and the courage of this ranger he brought out is also greater than Liu Bang."

"Thieves also have a way" is the word of thieves, who is this guy?

Thief is actually a derogatory name, he was originally called Zhan Plant, alias Liu Xia Plant, is the younger brother of "Liu Xia Hui" Zhan Bird, and the eldest brother is different from the virtuous name of the eldest brother, he is a very complex character.

According to the records of many historical books, in the Spring and Autumn Period, when there was no day without a war, this person once called for an uprising, and in a short period of time, nearly 10,000 people gathered to punish the evil and promote the good, kill the princes and save the slaves, and the countries were invincible. However, in the end, he failed and died, and in order to scandalize him, the princes called him a thief who ate people's hearts and livers, bullied people's wives and daughters, and did all kinds of evil.

Once, his disciples asked him, "Are there robbers and there are ways?" and he said yes, you guessed that there is a treasure in this house, and this is a saint; Go to the house first, this is bravery; It is righteousness that comes out after breaking; Knowing whether the Tao can act or not, this is wisdom; Dividing one's possessions with one's partners is benevolence. There is no one in the world who can become a thief without these five things.

A thief can be "saintly, brave, righteous, wise and benevolent", and can "thief also has a way", this is the satirical theme of "Zheng": "The saint does not die, and the thief does not."

Zhuangzi satirized the great thief like the thief, who can always use the things of the sage to explain what he has done, and take the wisdom of the sage to enslave the people, and the benevolence, righteousness and morality are all said by the powerful, so he satirizes "those who steal the hook are punished, and those who steal the country are the princes", and the most bitter ones are only the honest people.

Therefore, Zhuangzi also said that you should "abandon the saint and wisdom", since the appearance of your saint indirectly created the birth of a thief, then your saint is dead, wisdom is gone, and there will be no thief.

Think about it, who invented the written word? Who is using words to deceive people? Who invented the sword and gun? Who used the knife and gun to kill people?

Abandoning the holy wisdom is a Taoist thought, and it is a truth that cultivators should return to the innate from the acquired cultivation, and the world should be like this, how simple the people of ancient times were, but when the more saints and the higher the wisdom of human beings, the more thieves there are, and the more complicated the world becomes.

That's what it's all about, it's a matter of opinion.

Is that equivalent to Zhuangzi saying that the thief is a hypocritical villain? Zhuangzi is also very contradictory, here "Zheng" uses the thief to talk about the relationship between the sage and the thief; Over there, "Miscellaneous Essays: Thieves" wrote another article of thieves denouncing Confucius, he wanted to return to nature, so he scolded Confucius, a great sage like Confucius, who harmed people a lot, and then Confucius's knowledge was misinterpreted by some thieves such as Han Confucianism and Confucianism to serve the princes.

Is the willow plantar good or bad, a thief full of evil, or a thief of benevolence and hero?

The historical data is complicated, and no one knows the truth, but in any case, "stealing also has a way" is a sarcastic saying, which has the same meaning as "the thief of the country": You are still justified in stealing things, and Xie Lingyun's cultivation is lower than that of the dragon, and he lost two colors first, how can it be reversed, unless he ......

He doesn't think so

"Two colors" The gamblers exclaimed again, and the dice of the gambling god were not long in a few moments, with a loud bang, "one color is ......"

He thinks that Liu Xia is a thief, and thinks that the thief can indeed have a way He is appreciating Liu Xia Zhi this person, but he is not appreciating the abandonment of the saint and the wisdom, but seems to be agreeing with the deeds of the thief, this is where the ghosts are surprised, the thief kills the princes to save the slaves, and pursues a better way of the world, not so much as the Taoist says to return to nature, but like the Buddhists say that all living beings are equal......

He is saying that with this great ambition, this is the ranger, this is the courage, and this is the royal road that is higher than domineering

The thief of the country, the thief of the world

The dice of the dragon were knocked out of the dice basin, and became a colorless and lightless cloud of black gas—

And the dice in the basin stopped quietly, still with three colors, still glowing golden

"How, how", "The God of Gambling Loses ......", "Impossible, Impossible" The gamblers were stunned at first, and then they were crazy, surging around, this is definitely wrong, the God of Gambling is joking Even Xue Rui and other city gods who had expected it a long time ago still couldn't believe it when they saw this become a fact......

"I, I...... Defeated. Mi Long looked at the gambling table in a daze, and it took a long time to say such a sentence, and suddenly he laughed wildly: "There is a way for a thief, a good thief also has a way for a willow plant, a good willow plantar is a good Xie Lingyun Hahaha——"

Youqi looked shocked and muttered congratulations: "Lord, Xie Lang Shenwei"

She had heard Chun'er say "Gongzi is a fighter", and she was puzzled before, but she really saw it in the past few days, and when she went to the academy, he convinced the Confucian students; Coming to the gambling house, he defeated the ranger gambling god of money, in fact...... It's a pity that I'm not there, I didn't see it......

"Brother Mi, let's go" Xie Lingyun clenched his fist and waved at Milong.

Mi Long is still laughing more than once: "Ha Lu haha, it's really happy, this defeat is more happy than winning, it's refreshing, I wish to lose the bet, the casino is yours"
