In the Chongxu Hall, Zhuang Zhou and Lieyu Kou were sitting opposite each other!
"I'm worried that he is lurking in the Pangu world and has figured it out over the years. By then, when the new army of the ancient food tribe comes to the territory, we will never have a chance again!" Liezi said sadly.
"No, this time I'm back, I will try my best to investigate the world!" Zhuang Zhou said solemnly.
"I'll be relieved when the teacher comes back! The teacher will die with no regrets!" Liezi said expectantly.
The disciples of Liezi in the outside world are all filled with confusion. Who is this Zhuang Zhou? Why does the teacher's tone seem to be on the same level as me
"Don't get excited, your soul and body are in turmoil even more!" Zhuang Zhou immediately advised.
"It doesn't matter, it's enough to meet you. I will give you the teacher's Taoist rubbings. This is specially refined by the teacher for you. This is the essence of the teacher's Taoism. The teacher guessed that your thoughts have been imprisoned in Confucianism, which is not easy. I have made all these preparations after re-comprehending Taoist thought. You don’t need to comprehend it, the teacher will do it for you, you just need to integrate it and understand it!" A wisp of purple flame suddenly appeared from Liezi's fingertips.
Is this a rubbing of Laozi’s Taoist thought? If you touch the center of your eyebrows, my thoughts will be unified
Liezi looked at Zhuang Zhou expectantly. Zhuang Zhou looked at the wisp of flames and pondered slightly.
"Sir, the teacher has paved the way for you, you just need to accept it. This is the last thing the teacher asked me to give you, and I must bring it to you!" Liezi said expectantly.
Zhuang Zhou looked at Liezi and shook his head: "I'm afraid I don't need my help to understand it!"
"Ah?" Liezi was slightly startled.
"I have found a way to solve the conflict between Confucianism and Taoism. Others' understandings belong to others after all. I am willing to start all over again. The Taoist thoughts I understand are my own!" Zhuang Zhou solemnly said.
"You, you solved it? How is this possible? Aren't the two thoughts in conflict? How...!" Liezi said in surprise.
"If possible, I would like to give this rubbing of Lao Tzu's thought to my wife, can you? She has just entered the door of Taoist thought!" Zhuang Zhou looked at the Golden Mother Yuanjun outside the palace.
"Your wife?" Liezi looked at Jinmu Yuanjun outside the palace with a slightly moved expression.
Zhuang Zhou nodded.
"Ha, hahaha, I should have thought of it, I should have thought of it, Queen Mother of the West, Emperor of Donghua, ha, haha, okay, anyway, this is what the teacher gave you! You make the decision!" Liezi started laughing.
"Golden Mother, come in!" Zhuang Zhou shouted.
Jinmu Yuanjun stepped into Chongxu Hall.
"Teacher!" Jinmu Yuanjun bowed slightly.
"I'm not your teacher, I'm just giving you some enlightenment!" Liezi immediately shook his head, not daring to take credit.
"A teacher with one word is also a teacher. What's more, the teacher gave me Taoist enlightenment and trusted me so much that I have a transcendent status here!" Jinmu Yuanjun said with a slight salute.
Liezi looked at Jinmu Yuanjun and sighed: "Take my teacher's rubbings first!"
"Take it! This is what I gave to me. What is given to me is given to you!" Zhuang Zhou looked at Jinmu Yuanjun.
"Yeah!" Jinmu Yuanjun nodded.
"Buzz!"
Liezi reached out a little, and that wisp of purple flame instantly entered the forehead of Jinmu Yuanjun.
"boom!"
The body surface of Jinmu Yuanjun instantly burst out with purple energy. Lao Tzu's Taoist thought was so huge. When Jinmu Yuanjun received it, his face suddenly showed a look of pain, and he quickly sat cross-legged to digest the Taoist thought.
Zhuang Zhou checked Jinmu Yuanjun and found that Jinmu Yuanjun was fine, so he ignored him.
At this moment, without that wisp of purple flame, Liezi's remnant soul was swaying, as if the flame was extinguished at any time.
"Sir, you are back, and you can rest assured that the world will be left to you. But the moral token, the teacher said, contains the secret of the great road! If you...!" Liezi said worriedly.
"I will take it back!" Zhuang Zhou solemnly said.
"Sir, I can rest assured. I don't have much time. Can you please help me with something?" Liezi looked at Zhuang Zhou, his eyes full of expectation.
"Say!" Zhuang Zhou looked at Liezi.
"I'm leaving. These disciples in Chongxu Valley have no one to look after them. Sooner or later, they will be destroyed by Yang Zhu's ambitious people. Can you please help me look after these disciples!" Liezi said expectantly.
"Teacher!" Countless people in red clothes outside the hall suddenly became anxious.
However, Liezi had great faith in Zhuang Zhou's character. At this moment, he just looked at Zhuang Zhou eagerly.
Zhuang Zhou looked at Liezi. Liezi and Laozi died in battle together. For Laozi's last wish and for the common people in the world, they have been holding on to the immortality of their remaining souls. Before his death, he still remembered this group of disciples.
Zhuang Zhou sighed slightly and nodded.
Zhuang Zhou was cultivating the "free and unfettered" road, and he shouldn't be fettered by anything. However, at this moment, looking at Liezi's expectations, he finally couldn't bear it and accepted the cause and effect.
"Thank you, sir!" Liezi's eyes suddenly turned red.
"Teacher, I don't need anyone else's protection! We...!" All the people in red suddenly said anxiously.
"Shut up!" Liezi shouted.
A group of young men who don’t know the heights of heaven and earth. Do you know who Zhuang Zhou is in front of you? That is the afterlife of Confucius that even Laozi admires. I've asked you for a blessing, but you're still not satisfied
"Disciple Chongxugu, listen to your orders!" Liezi said again.
"Here!" The disciples in red immediately said respectfully.
"From now on, I will give the order of Chongxu Valley to Zhuang Zhou. From now on, everyone must obey Zhuang Zhou's order. See Zhuang Zhou as if he saw me. Those who don't obey will be expelled from Chongxu Valley. From now on, don't say yes again. My disciple!" Liezi said solemnly.
"Teacher!" The disciples suddenly said reluctantly.
Liezi was too domineering this time. He was extremely tolerant to us in the past, so why do you ask us to listen to Zhuang Zhou
"Did you hear that?" Liezi shouted again with determination.
"Yes!" Everyone could only respond.
Liezi took out a piece of Chongxu Ling and handed it to Zhuang Zhou.
"Sir, I leave this group of disciples to you!" Liezi said solemnly.
"I will try my best!" Zhuang Zhou nodded.
At this moment, Liezi was swaying, as if it would collapse at any time. But Liezi's face showed a look of satisfaction.
"Lieyu bandits, even if you die without regrets, we will never be eaten!" Liezi finally let out a sonorous and powerful voice, and his figure suddenly collapsed.
"Teacher!" All the disciples in red immediately cried and knelt down.
Liezi's remaining soul disintegrated
No, he saw Zhuang Zhou stepping forward and placing his hand on Liezi's disintegrated soul. The remaining soul of Liezi trembled slightly.
"What are you doing?" the senior brother in red yelled angrily with tears in his eyes.
Zhuang Zhou ignored it, but waved his hand, and a large amount of Yin Qi gathered in the void.
"The book of life and death is open, re-enter the reincarnation!" Zhuang Zhou shouted.
"boom!"
In front of Zhuang Zhou, a gap in the void suddenly appeared, and the Yin Qi allowed Liezi's disintegrated remnant soul to condense again.
"Sir, I...!" Liezi looked at Zhuang Zhou in surprise.
"Your disciples, I can help you take care of it for a while. From now on, you can take care of it yourself when you come back!" Zhuang Zhou said.
"But I've already...!"
"You are a remnant soul, but when I threw you out, I preserved your true soul. You are just a damaged soul at most. I will use the Book of Life and Death to help you nourish and cultivate your soul. It may take a long, long time to repair it, but , there will be a day of recovery, and when that time comes, you can be reincarnated and come back!" Zhuang Zhou said.
"Can I come back?" Liezi asked in disbelief.
"Go! Live a good life and cultivate yourself. When you come back, I will control you again to rush to the Xu Valley!" Zhuang Zhou waved his hand.
In an instant, Liezi's remnant soul entered reincarnation, and at the same time, a large amount of Yin Qi surrounded him, nourishing and repairing him.
Liezi bowed gratefully to Zhuang Yiyi and disappeared in front of everyone.
In fact, all the disciples knew that the teacher could be annihilated at any time, and they were prepared in their hearts. It was just because of Zhuang Zhou's arrival that the teacher was annihilated in advance, and they all felt resentful.
But now, everyone heard that the teacher could be resurrected and reincarnated because of Zhuang Zhou. All of them suddenly showed expressions of ecstasy.
"Thank you, sir! I have offended you a lot before, thank you, sir!" The senior brother immediately bowed to Zhuang Zhou excitedly.
"Thank you sir, thank you sir!" All Chongxugu disciples immediately bowed to Zhuang Zhou gratefully.
----------
Zhuang Zhou finally returned after leaving Mengdi for more than half a month.
This time, not only Zhuang Zhou and Jinmu Yuanjun came back, but also a large number of Chongxu Valley disciples.
Zhuang Zhou also considered that although he did not expect Yang Zhu Academy to keep its promise, in the short term, Meng Di was relatively safer. These Chongxu Valley disciples were very grateful to him because they had helped Liezi, so he gave the order , naturally all moved here.
Suddenly, hundreds of people with the aura of the great avenue arrived, making the Zhuang family in Mengdi even more shocked.
It had been more than half a month, and the official of the Song Dynasty had arrived in Mengdi early. Although some of Zhuang's descendants accepted the decree with envy, the messenger had never seen Zhuang Zhou in person, and he was very upset for a while.
This annoyance soon spread to the Song Dynasty court.
"Zhuang Zhou is so arrogant. The king gave him an official title, but he didn't even see him!"
"Your Majesty, this Zhuang Zhou is ignoring your official position. Why don't you withdraw?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
… … …
… …
…
While the ministers were discussing among themselves, a general hurriedly broke into the hall.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have seen Zhuang Zhou!" the general said eagerly.
"Oh? Did you finally show up? Did Zhuang Zhou respond to you?" an official asked.
"No, I couldn't even get close to him, so I was driven away!" the general said.
"How unreasonable, Your Majesty, although we are in urgent need of talents, but he is so arrogant, there is no need for us to obey him! Otherwise, how can our country of Song establish its prestige?" the official frowned.
"No, sir, nowadays, there are more and more people gathering the aura of Dao in Mengdi. Those people in red used to live in Zhuang Zhou's house. Now, more than 600 people have come. Moreover, before I came back, they were still coming from the house every day. People from all over the world are gathering, and it’s almost over a thousand! The aura of Mengdi Avenue is getting stronger and stronger!" said the general.
"Nearly a thousand people with the aura of Dao gathered at Zhuang Zhou's residence? Did you read that correctly?" the officials around him exclaimed.
"It's true, and every time he sees Zhuang Zhou, he always salutes! He respects Zhuang Zhou so much that even Zhuang Zhou's orders are treated as if they were imperial edicts!" said the general.
"Hiss~~~~~~~!" The hall was full of gasps.
"Nearly a thousand Taoist auras surround Zhuang Zhou. No wonder, no wonder Yang Zhu Academy wants to avoid him. No wonder I have found out that no disciple of Yang Zhu Academy has ever come near Meng Di again!" an official said in shock.
"Your Majesty, the great sage Zhuang Zhou, please don't offend me!"
"Your Majesty, the imperial decree cannot be changed overnight! We have already banned the Qiyuan officials, how can we withdraw at the drop of a hat?"
"Your Majesty, if Zhuang Zhou is arrogant, just be arrogant. Just like Yang Zhu, can't we make them have a temper?"
… … …
… …
…
All the officials immediately changed their previous tone and changed their words one after another.
Zhuang Zhou's momentum has been established, and he is no longer a common man who can be manipulated at will.
"The proud official of Qiyuan, the proud official of Qiyuan!" King Song took a deep breath and said.
----------
Monte.
As the disciples of Chongxu Valley continued to spread the word to the world, disciples of Chongxu Valley from all over the world came to Mengdi one after another.
When everyone heard about Liezi, they were all grateful to Zhuang Zhou.
Liezi asked everyone to obey Zhuang Zhou's orders, and out of respect for Liezi and gratitude to Zhuang Zhou, they all agreed. But as a result, the banker can no longer house any room.
The Zhuang clan members feel more prosperous than ever before. The third uncle can even walk much more nimbly these days.
"Zhou'er, these people...?" Father Zhuang looked at these people in red with a wry smile.
Zhuang's father had witnessed Zhuang Zhou's growth, but it had only been a short time before Zhuang Zhou's climate had already changed, which made Zhuang's father feel like he was in a dream. Is his son too powerful
"Father, in the next few years, or even more than ten years, I may have to retreat to study Taoism. On the Golden Mother's side, I also study Taoist thoughts and cannot be distracted. There are still outside envoys here. Please deal with it, father." Come on!" Zhuang Zhou looked at Zhuang's father.
"Don't worry, I can't help you as a father. It's not difficult to be a bad person for you! It's just...!" Father Zhuang frowned.
"My father's thoughts, the child understands, I don't have time to teach the Zhuang clan the Taoist doctrine, but these people in red, they can, I will arrange it, they will send people to give guidance every day, and those who are destined can come to learn Taoist thought! Zhuang Zhou said.
"Okay, that's good. Your uncle and uncle have told me many times, I...!" Father Zhuang suddenly laughed.
"There are too many people, and our family can no longer live here. Father, I am going to open up Nanhua Mountain behind me into my dojo! These men in red will help me dig mountains and build palaces, but the government, please trouble my father. Help me deal with it!" Zhuang Zhou said.
"Hahahaha, don't worry. I've met a lot of those officials in the Song Dynasty. They even gave you the official position of Qiyuan Official. I'm afraid that if you don't make a request, if you make a request, it's too late for them to be happy!" Zhuang Father smiled.
"Okay, let me calm down, kid, and now I have a good understanding of Taoist thought. This time I went to Chongxu Valley and brought all the collection of Taoist classics by Liezi! It will be enough for me to digest for a few years!" Zhuang Zhou said with a smile.
