Lie Zi Xiang Mian

There is a magical wizard named Ji Xian in Zheng State, who is very accurate in fortune-telling. He speculated about the lifespan of a person by looking at his face , and said that if this person died three watch , this person would not survive the fifth watch . When Zheng Guoren saw him, he was so frightened that he ran away, for fear that he would say something unlucky. Liezi went to see the photo once and admired Ji Xian so much. After returning, he said to his mentor Huzi:

"Sir, I thought your Taoism was the best in the world, but I didn't expect that there would be someone more powerful than you!" Then I learned Ji Xian's magical powers again.

The pot said, "Hehe, you kid, I'm afraid I haven't even touched the Tao! You just learned a little bit of fur, so you can use it to deal with people. Of course they will look at you to the end! You ask him to come and give Let me take a look!"

The next day, Liezi invited Ji Xian. Ji Xian looked at the face of the pot, and without saying a word, he went out with Liezi. Ji Xian said to Liezi: "Oh, it's over! Your teacher is dead, he won't be able to live for ten days. I see his face, like dead ashes splashed with water, how could he burn."

Liezi was very sad when he heard it, so he cried to find the pot and told the pot of Ji Xian's prediction. Huzi laughed and said, "What I showed him just now was my silent state of mind, which blocked all my vitality, so he would say that. You will ask him to see it tomorrow!"

On the third day, Liezi asked Ji Xian to see the pot again. After looking at it, Ji Xian said to Liezi: "Haha, it's saved! Today your teacher's vitality has begun to recover-probably because you met me, count him lucky!"

Liezi relayed this to Huzi, and Huzi said: "Yes, what I showed him today is a gleam of life. I will invite him back tomorrow."

On the fourth day, Ji Xian looked at the picture of the pot and behaved very puzzled. He came out and said to Liezi: "Your teacher is in a trance today, probably because of his uneasiness. I can't see it like this. You let him settle down again!"

Huzi learned what Ji Xian had said, and said to Liezi: "I just showed him a state of emptiness without warning. My tolerance is flat, so he can't be found. I will invite him to see it tomorrow. ."

On the fifth day, Ji Xian looked at the pot and seemed a little flustered. As soon as he entered the door and saw the pot, his face was pale, and he turned away and ran away. Huzi said: "Fuck him!" Liezi went out to chase him, only to find that Ji Xian was running away.

Liezi came back and said, "He is gone, I can't catch up..."

Huzi smiled and said: "This kid runs very neatly. Just now, I dealt with him, imagining and arrogant; I moved with the wind and drifted along the water, he was completely uncertain, so he scared away. Actually, this It's just a state where everything is empty, my fundamental avenue hasn't been shown to him yet!"

Only then did Liezi realize that he was still far from "Tao". He went home and didn't go out for three years. He concentrated on cooking and cooking for his wife; he even kept a humble attitude when feeding pigs, just like waiting for others. He cast aside his partiality, abandoned vanity, and kept his simplicity in the turbulent world, persisting in this way for a lifetime.
