my old life

Chapter 2421 Foolish People
I can't guarantee that I can completely imitate the old-fashioned moves and routines, and I can't guarantee that I won't make mistakes. I leave three points for myself to leave room for myself.

Mike signaled me to try it with his eyes, and the old man stood by and watched quietly, and I have nothing to shy away from.

Whether something is displayed or not is someone else's business, whether you remember it or not is your own business, and nothing in the world belongs to a single person alone.

I closed my eyes and recalled the old way's changes just now, but my memory was a bit fuzzy. I only knew that he had messed up the order of the moves in the routine, but the feeling was still flowing.

Maybe Mike didn't see through the old-fashioned routines, precisely because his movements were too smooth, so smooth that it was impossible to find any flaws.

I made gestures while thinking back, trying to make my movements look smoother, and immediately find another movement to connect after one movement.

I don't know if I made gestures correctly, but I have done all the routines, and there are a few basic movements that are the key to the connection.

Suddenly I thought of a question, is it important to be right or wrong?
In fact, any routine is created by people. It is not difficult for everyone to remember a routine by rote, but it is difficult to create it yourself.

In a trance, I thought of a truth. In this world, there are many people who follow routines, but few people create routines...

I made gestures according to my own ideas. I can't do it so smoothly, I can only be as smooth as possible.

Mike looked at me with a serious face, he seemed to be savoring something, and the old man next to him walked over quickly.

"What did you hit just now?" the old man asked, but I couldn't see any change in his expression.

"The teacher taught Taijiquan." I said politely, not knowing whether he would be surprised or stunned.

"Messy, disorganized, stupid talent!"

I was very calm when I heard this. No matter why the old man lowered his level again, is it important to me?

There is no absolute right and wrong in the world, and there is no absolutely fixed routine, everything is like this!
"Anything is fine, if you are stupid, you are stupid." I said it indifferently, without the previous turbulence and change in my heart.

I have never cared about the definitions given by others, because life is defined by myself, and a person can never live in the eyes of others!
"There is no need for dull and vulgar people here, you should leave."

I was a little surprised when I heard this. I didn't expect the old man to drive me away, but I nodded happily...but suddenly remembered that I was gone, what should Mike do?
I originally came here with Mike, so it's inappropriate for me to leave!

"Teacher, I won't practice anymore, but can I wait for Mike here?" I asked tentatively. In fact, Mike knew it well, even if the old man refused to agree, I would have a clear conscience.

The old man didn't speak or answer, his eyes fell on Mike, as if he was waiting for his answer.

"Teacher, I understand, thank you teacher." Mike bowed to the old Taoist, not knowing what he understood, as if he was going to leave.

"Just understand." The old Taoist said something miraculously, feeling like the two of them were playing charades.

"Hawkeye, let's go!" Mike turned his head and greeted, I didn't realize it for a while, where is he going?

Mike came to the dining hall in stride, and I realized that he was coming to eat!

After eating three bowls of rice in a row, I never felt that I could eat so much, and I regained my strength after eating and drinking.

Mike was very calm when he ate, with a smile on the corner of his mouth all the time. He felt that he was a little different today, and he couldn't tell the specifics.

"Mike, are you still going to practice later?" I burped, and took his bowl and chopsticks to wash the dishes.

"No, we're getting out of here."

"Ok."

"You are the first person to be driven down the mountain by the teacher, you should go and say thank you."

"Why?" I looked at him curiously, is it something worth celebrating to be driven away?

"Because you have gained a lot."

"Is there?" I said something with a smile, but Mike didn't mean to be joking.

"Whether there is, you know in your heart."

"That's right, then I'll go and thank you." After I finished speaking, I turned and left. I was full and ready to go down the mountain, but I felt surprisingly calm.

Before that, I was looking forward to going down the mountain early, but now my thoughts have completely changed, because everything doesn't matter to me.

When he found the old Taoist, he stood alone in front of the stone tablet of selflessness, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Teacher, thank you." I bowed politely, without any disturbance in my heart at this moment.

I no longer have anger and reconciliation, and I no longer have guilt and uneasy conscience, and everything has become indifferent.

"Oh? Thank you?" The old man turned his head to look at me, his face still blank.

"Mike and I are leaving, thank you for the teacher's teaching and the rice."

"Let's go." The old Taoist continued to look at the stele after he finished speaking, as if he didn't care about our departure.

"Teacher, can I finally ask a question? Why did I become a fool in the end?"

The old man waved his hand and didn't say anything, his face was still blank, it seemed that he had no words...

Wait, is this the so-called great wisdom and foolishness?

From the beginning when I fooled the old way, he has never questioned my words, and it has been like this until now.

For some reason, his bewildered expression gave me a feeling of being seen through everything. This feeling is not clear but I can feel it.

"Teacher, I understand. Maybe this is the wisdom of being foolish."

As soon as the words came out, he turned his head, his eyes still looked like an idiot, and he felt that his reaction was always slow.

"Are you saying I'm stupid?" The old man looked at me with blazing eyes, and I waved my hands immediately.

"I didn't mean that, really."

"Then what is great wisdom and foolishness?" The old Taoist asked, not knowing what was going on in his mind, and his thinking was not on the same channel at all.

"Well, I really can't explain this, maybe it's like Mike's." I said casually, saying that Mike's wisdom is always all right?
"Mike?" The old man looked at me blankly, I was going crazy, he was no longer an idiot, he was an idiot!

"I think his sentiment should be that there is as much glory as there is pain, and as much praise as he can withstand, he must withstand as much slander."

I borrowed a word from God, the ups and downs are like the way of fortune, and like the way of the mean.

I don't know if all the thoughts of Dao are integrated, but this moment gives me a very similar feeling.

The old Taoist stared at me for a long time, as if he had something important to say to me, I just stood there and waited.

"What do you mean by these words?" The old man almost went crazy when he opened his mouth. After dawdling for a long time, he didn't understand what he meant!

"It's nothing interesting, thank you anyway!" After I finished speaking, I was about to leave, I really didn't want to stay for a second longer.

As the saying goes, playing the piano to a cow, I have never played the piano to a cow, but now I seem to understand this feeling.

"Let's go." The old man turned his head and continued to look at the stele, as if he was staring at the four words Leaving the country and forgetting himself, and also seemed to be thinking about what to eat at noon.

This feeling is very strange. It is hard for me to imagine what kind of person the old man is, but people who cannot see through are often the most dangerous!
I have read countless people in the arena, and I think I can see through most of them, but I can't see through what fools are thinking!
I can see through most of the routines, but I can't see through the lack of routines. Maybe this is the so-called winning without tricks!

Mike and I changed our white suits and put on our own clothes. Before we left, we were going to burn incense in the Taoist hall.

When I came to the hall, I saw the four characters of "clean and inaction" on the plaque in the middle. At this moment, I stopped and suddenly figured it out in my mind!

When I made up and saw the golden world, the old Taoist said that I was a sergeant, but what I saw was very big and blurry...

When I gained insight and saw what I used to be, the old Taoist said that I was a sergeant, and what I saw was my own state of mind...

When I reflected and saw my guilt and hostility, the old Taoist said that I was a corporal, and what I saw was my own character...

When I was tired and saw my shortcomings, the old Taoist said that I was a fool, and what I saw was my true side.

The things I saw became smaller and more specific, until I saw myself clearly, and then I understood why the old man drove me down the mountain.

People are most afraid of looking too far in this life. It is common for everyone to have high eyesight and low abilities. When I can see myself clearly, isn’t it pure and inaction?
Do nothing, do everything, do nothing but do something, and do nothing.
