Yin Yang Fu Mo Lu

Chapter 281 Useful, Useless

Zhang Yuelian nodded, opened the entrance door, and asked, "Who is yelling here?"

Two white-haired old Taoist priests rushed in together, shouting: "Is Tianshi Daren Zhang Tianci here? I want to see Tianshi Daren and ask Tianshi Daren to give us a reason!"

The news spread so fast, they all found it here!Zhang Tianci and others looked at each other and shook their heads, each speechless.

Zhang Yuelian frowned and said, "Don't argue, you two. The great master is here. Please speak slowly if you have anything to say."

Zhang Tianci had no choice but to nod at the two veteran Taoists and asked, "I am Zhang Tianci. What do you two fellow Taoists want from me?"

"Are you the Master of Longhu Mountain?" The two veterans were stunned and looked up and down at Zhang Tianci.

Zhang Tianci nodded again, and said, "If you have something to say, please tell me, I still have important things to do."

"Oh...it's like this, Daoist Master, listen to me." One of the old Taoists with black eye circles and red and swollen cheeks said, "I am a bouldering Taoist from the Yuxian Sect. I heard that Daoist Master Tianshi appeared in Jiangcheng , I came to visit. Who would have thought that I would meet this Niubi from the Liuren Sect on the way, and we would start a fight after a disagreement!"

"You call me a bull-nosed person, aren't you a bull-nosed person!" Another old Taoist with blood coming from the corner of his mouth was furious and shouted at Zhang Tianci: "Dazhen Mingcha, I am Guanyunzi of the Liuren sect, and I am also here to visit you in Jiangcheng. But. When I heard this bouldering master talking nonsense, I gave him a lesson. Who knew he wouldn't accept it, so I had to deal with him."

Two old men fighting?Zhang Tianci couldn't laugh or cry.

Zhang Yuelian also had a big head. She waved her hand to interrupt the words of the two veterans and asked, "What are you fighting about?"

"I, a Taoist disciple, should be inactive and useless, and be quiet and natural in order to achieve the Tao. This Guanyunzi said I fart!" Taoist Master Baoshi said angrily.

"You are just farting. Taoist people have to work hard to practice. They are useless and do nothing. How can they achieve Tao?" Guanyunzi scolded.

Taoist Baoshi was even more furious and said: "Okay, today we will let the Heavenly Master give us a reason! In the past, Zhuangzi went on a wild trip and saw a huge tree towering into the sky, but the woodcutter didn't take it. When Zhuangzi asked the reason, the woodcutter said, Because this big tree is useless. Zhuangzi suddenly realized that trees live long because of their uselessness, and people also need to be useless in order to live long - isn't this the truth?"

Guan Yunzi sneered and said, "You are talking about Zhuangzi, and I am talking about Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi was a guest at a friend's house. The friend ordered his servant to kill a goose to entertain him. The servant asked, "If a goose can crow and a goose can't crow, which one should I kill?" ? Zhuangzi’s friend said, if you keep the geese that don’t crow, they are useless, so kill them! So, the useful ones can survive, and the useless ones will be eliminated - isn’t my theory wrong? "

The two old men stiffened their necks and stated their opinions. Then they looked at Zhang Tianci together and asked Zhang Tianci to make the decision.

Nima, this is clearly here to amuse me!
In ancient times, there were two children who teased Confucius by arguing about the sun. Today, two old men teased Master Tianshi by arguing that it was useful or useless!

Zhang Tianci's face turned green, he waved his hand and said: "Go away..."

Seeing that something was wrong, Zhang Yuelian hurriedly pressed Zhang Tianci's hand and said with a wink, "Master, don't be impatient. If you have anything to say, speak slowly. We are all from the Taoist sect."

Directly telling people to go away would be out of character for a great person. It would have a bad impact if word spread, so Zhang Yuelian hurriedly stopped it.

Zhang Tianci reacted, suppressed the anger in his heart, forced out a smiley expression, and said with two old fingers: "Roll, roll...Roll the Yangtze River eastward, the waves wash away the heroes, right and wrong, success or failure, turn your head in vain, The green mountains are still there, and the sunsets are red several times! You two are over 100 years old together, bouldering and watching the clouds. You both look like immortals, but to fight over such a thing is to disgrace the Taoist disciples!"

Daoist Baoshi and Guan Yunzi nodded together, and said: "What the Daoist Master taught is, but you have to tell us this truth. Is it better to be useful or useless in life?"

Minato, are you sincerely trying to make things difficult for me?
Zhang Tianci nodded and said: "Okay, today I will tell you about the relationship between usefulness and futility. You talk about Zhuangzi, and I talk about Zhuangzi. If you ask me, Zhuangzi's students also asked Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi said, The law is natural and changes with time. People can move forward or retreat between usefulness and uselessness, to protect their lives and to raise their aspirations. When it is useful, it is like a dragon appearing, and when it is useless, it is like a snake hiding in hiding. Therefore, whether it is useful or not depends on one's own conditions. , determined according to the changes in the surrounding environment. If you do not change from the past, you will sit in a well and look at the sky, carve a boat and seek a sword. This is also the basis of Taoism, the relationship between opposition and unity, do you understand?"

Taoist Baoshi and Guanyunzi looked at each other, nodded together, and said, "I understand, thank you so much for your guidance."

Seeing that Zhang Tianci answered correctly, Zhang Yuelian breathed a sigh of relief, faced the two old Taoists and said, "If everything is alright, you can leave."

"Okay, let's take our leave first and don't bother Da Zhenren." The two old Taoists chuckled and turned to leave.

"Stop!" Zhang Tianci suddenly stopped the two old men and said with a smile: "You two are fighting each other in the street at your age, and you don't know the morals. I will inform the head of your sect about these things. Let your head be strict Restrain the disciples to prevent this from happening again!"

These two funny old men must have come here to make trouble on purpose, to test their own reality.

That being the case, Zhang Tianci had no choice but to settle the score with their head. If he grasped this matter and admonished him, he would be like killing a chicken for a monkey to see, or would he still want to be free in the future?

"Da Zhenren, this is just a small matter, why don't you inform our leader?" the bouldering Taoist said with a smile.

"Start with small things, the effect will be better. Also, since you know it is a small matter, you still want to bother me? Well, I will also make it clear to your boss on this point. You go ahead, I will find your boss The disciples are talking." Zhang Tianci waved his hand.

Seeing Zhang Tianci's unkind expression, Taoist Baoshi and Guanyunzi stopped talking and bowed their heads to say goodbye.

Zhang Tianci looked at Zhang Yuelian and said: "Sister Lian, send a message to the headmasters of Liurenmen and Yuxian Sect, stamp it with the seal of Heavenly Master, and ask them to give me an explanation. It's outrageous to harass me for no reason! "

"Don't be angry, Dazhenren. I'm afraid that this kind of thing will happen again in the future. You have become a heavenly master at such a young age. Naturally, some people want to test you. It is Dazhenren's ability to deal with it calmly and not be impatient. Demeanor. Informing their headmaster is for sure. I will send a letter to Longhu Mountain and ask those old guys to draft the letter and then give it to you to read and then send it out." Zhang Yuelian said.

When the Heavenly Master sends a message, the wording must be appropriate, admonish the other party, and make them unable to refute, so Zhang Yuelian is very cautious.
