Chapter 742: Zhuangzi's Second Retreat
After listening to his mother's story, coupled with the news he received from Tianya Wuming, Zhuangzi determined that the history of Taoist protectors might be over. From now on! The preacher no longer gives you a protector, but every man protects himself.
The people of the Revenge Quest Coalition are still continuing to seek revenge and look for opportunities.
Song Cucheng, on his part, no longer wanted him to preach publicly, and preached publicly in the Song Kingdom. The Song State no longer needed to preach, and all the people of the Song Kingdom were Taoists.
No! There was no shortage of hermits who understood Taoist doctrine in the Song Kingdom. These hermits, they don't want anything else but to survive. They used Taoism as a tool for survival and confusion. They were willing to obey the arrangement of King Song and do their own work......
The big is hidden in the court, the middle is hidden in the city, and the small is hidden in the wilderness, they are hidden at all levels to complete the process of this life.
After dinner, Zhuangzi did not go upstairs, and went directly into the seller's room.
After the housekeeper was done, he didn't go into the room again, and went upstairs to live with his mother-in-law Dai Liu'er.
The black-clothed senior brother, the beggar half, and the beggar are still old habits, and they are protecting the Dharma for this family. The beggar and the beggar are divided into two people, one sleeps for a while, and one sleeps and the other is on duty. Senior Brother in Black is a free man, he sleeps when he wants to sleep, and he is on duty when he doesn't sleep. Through the inner look, the entire courtyard was under his surveillance.
Outside of this compound, there is also a world without a name. For the sake of his promise to Yang Zhu's predecessors, Tianya Nameless promised to the master who adopted him, protecting Yang Qing'er and protecting the last bloodline of the Yang family.
Right now! Zhuangzi's side, apart from these four people, there were no other protectors.
Zhuangzi's heart was in turmoil, even more chaotic than before. Although you can enter the inner world, but! Because of the confusion of the heart, I often withdraw from the inward world for no reason. Outcome! Make him mess up.
As a inheritor of Taoist doctrine, how sad is it that you can't cultivate or preach?
That's it! After a few months, after summer and autumn, it still didn't get better. Zhuangzi was in a hurry and decided to retreat.
During these months, everything was safe in the family.
Shen Gen Shen Zhuangsheng can already walk, and although he can't speak yet, he can understand the words of adults. He is a very smart little guy who is deeply liked by the family and brings a lot of joy to the family.
Yang Yan Yang Zhanwang is also very healthy, he is an active child like Shen Gen when he was a child. One person can't take him at all, and it takes two people to look at him without blinking. Otherwise! There must be some kind of moth. After doing something bad, he still smiles at you, so that you are reluctant to hit him.
The belly of the child protruded, and I was able to eat and snooze, and it was obviously "pregnancy syndrome".
Dai Liuer temporarily gave up the idea of going to the capital to recognize his brother and sister, and devoted himself to housekeeping. After selling her baby and getting "pregnancy syndrome", she took over the housework.
Song Cucheng didn't take any action for the time being, everything was normal. Those who secretly monitored the dealer were also subdued by Dai Liu'er. Afterward! Song Quecheng kept changing people, which made people unguardable, so he no longer paid attention to these eyeliners.
The Song State has been very effective in governing the country, and the Qiyuan model has been quite successful. The people of the Song Dynasty were busy cultivating more wasteland and having more children, responding to the call of the policy. There are pregnant women in every family, all waiting for the next year's laughter, and they are full of hope for the future.
Without taxes, men worked day and night to reclaim wasteland, to develop as many other undertakings as possible. Economically, there is sometimes support from the state.
Because! The Song State had a huge investment in Bai Gui, and there was an income from the minerals, so the Song State had money to support the people's lives.
The entire Song Kingdom, in just half a year, has a new look.
Zhuangzi proposed a retreat, and Rong'er, Yang Qing'er, and Mai'er naturally had no objection and all supported it. Now the three of them, after having a baby and getting pregnant, don't care about men, it doesn't matter if there is this man or not.
During the Warring States period, sex was not yet mentioned on the life agenda, unlike modern society, where everything was taken out and hyped up. It also talks about what the high court experience is, and what is a part of life. It seems that without sex, it is not life, and it cannot live. Therefore! There is a reason to cheat.
I want sex, so I'm going to cheat!
No! It's not cheating, it's too ugly to say cheating. That's a physiological need, it's a human need.
Originally! Sexual needs are normal needs, but when they are propagated, they become indispensable needs, physiological needs independent of social responsibility.
At that time, Rong'er and Yang Qing'er definitely wanted to think about it, but they definitely didn't care only about sex.
When Mai'er is pregnant, the demand for men is also very indifferent, and she is worried that it will affect the baby in her belly. Even if you want to, you can only endure it.
So! Zhuangzi proposed retreat, and none of the three of them mattered.
Dai Liu'er saw that everything was fine at home and the outside environment was calm, so he agreed to Zhuangzi's request.
The best place for retreat is, of course, the scripture cave of the Mohist altar.
When it is said to be a retreat, it is not actually isolated from the world. He also needed to eat, drink, sleep, and be fed. Otherwise! You have to go out and look for food on your own. The so-called retreat is just not wanting to be entangled in the world, not getting in touch with society for the time being, and staying away from society.
Only in this way can we calm down. Only by calming down can we understand life and realize the highest realm.
The current Zhuangzi has not only not grown in cultivation, but has also retreated. In desperation, I had to retreat and practice.
Right now! Beside Zhuangzi, there was only one protector left, the senior brother in black. Zhuangzi retreated, and he naturally became the most loyal protector of the Dharma.
Bringing enough food for a few days, Zhuangzi entered the Tibetan Scripture Cave and practiced in retreat.
In order to protect the Dharma, the black-clothed senior brother had to return to the Mo family's branch altar and renovate the former thatched house. If you have time, I'll come over and make rounds and bring some food by the way. He spent most of his time in the town to protect Zhuangzi's family.
Time flies, autumn passes, and winter comes.
The cold wind is howling and the dark clouds are rolling. Leaves flutter in mid-air, and birds hide in the leeward and wail.
A few days after a winter rain, it snowed heavily.
On this side of the Mo family's branch altar, the whole is icy and snowy.
In the palace of the Song Kingdom, he soon got the news from the eyeliner that Zhuangzi was in retreat.
"Retreat? What moth does he want to toss? Song Quecheng listened and asked the black-clothed guard.
"What other moths could there be?" The black-clothed guard bent down and whispered, "What does this family live on?" Lord? They don't farm or do business, so what do they live on? ”
"This?"
"It is said! The life of their family is the best in the town, and they can often smell the smell of his family's meat......"
"This?" Song Quecheng thought for a moment and asked, "Then what do you mean?" They? What moths are behind them? Otherwise? Where did the money come from? ”
The black-clothed guard lowered his voice and said, "Or?" It is that the Mo family used to have ink capital, which remained in the hands of Zhuangzi or Dai Liu'er. Either? It's that Zhuangzi has some action behind his back, and someone gives silver ......"
"This?"
"On the surface, the Song Kingdom is the Lord, but after all, we are following the Taoist route. Lord? Will? ……”
"Smack!" Song Kuocheng patted the table in front of him and shouted: "There is only a king in the Song Kingdom!" There is no Taoism! ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
