One day, Zhuang Zhou's teacher finished class. Zhuang Zhou told the teacher about his butterfly dream. Zhuang Zhou's teacher is Lao Zi, a great saint. He knew Zhuang Zhou's past life, so he told Zhuang Zhou his past life.
Zhuang Zhou was instructed by the teacher to open the memory of past lives and wake up like a dream. He knows that life is just a romantic affair, and all he can do is purity and nothing. Seeing that he knew his own life, Lao Tzu taught him all the secrets of the Tao Te Ching.
Zhuang Zhou got rid of other thoughts and practiced meditation. In less than half a day, he learned separation and intangible solution, and other methods were superb.
Zhuang Zhou was born with an epiphany, homesick, traveling around the world and preaching to the world. But I think my wife at home will be sad because of his departure, and I will also miss the old man without a country. After leaving the teacher, Zhuang Zhou wanted to arrange for his wife to stop caring about herself.
Zhuang Zhou's wife Tian is the niece of the King of Qi. She is young and beautiful. She doesn't love the splendor of princes and nobles, but she loves Zhuang Zhou's talent. Zhuang Zhou treasures her very much.
On the way home, Zhuang Zhou saw a beautiful woman squatting in front of a grave with a fan in her hand. Curious, Zhuang Zhou stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, why is your wife fanning here?"
The woman replied with tears in her eyes, "My late husband and I are very loving. Before he died, he asked me to fan his grave to make the new soil stronger and not washed away by the rain. If I remarry in the future, my late husband will be at ease below. "
ZhuangZhou listened to the heart movement, he thought of a way. So he said to the woman, "I can make your husband's new grave strong." Zhuang Zhou meditated, and sure enough, the soil in the new grave soon became solid. This woman is very grateful to Zhuang Zhou. She took off the pin on her head and presented it to Zhuang Zhou.
"You're welcome. If your wife likes it, can you give me the fan in your hand? " The woman gave Zhuang Zhou her fan and went home.
When Zhuang Zhou came home, he told his wife what he saw on the road and gave her the fan, saying, "If I die in the future, you can also fan my grave with a fan, so that you can get married early."
Tian was very angry and tore up the fan: "Bah, nonsense, if a good girl doesn't marry the second husband, I will never marry again in my life."
Zhuang Zhou was moved and uneasy, so he had a plan. A few days later, Zhuang Zhou suddenly fell ill in bed. He said to Tian, "I'm afraid my life is coming to an end." Please invite the king of Chu. If I leave, I will entrust you to him and he will take care of you. "
Hearing this, Tian sent for Wang Sun. When Wang Sun and his servants arrived, Zhuang Zhou was already dead. King Sun of Chu respectfully said to Tian, "Since you have been entrusted by your husband, I should marry you and treat you well."
Tian turned pale with grief. She said: "since it is my husband's wish, of course I will obey, but my husband is not cold yet." He is a man who pays attention to manners. Wait for half a month. "
Half a month later, the king of Chu and his grandson came to Zhuangfu to marry Tian. Unexpectedly, that night, the king of Chu and his grandson suddenly foamed in bed and were heartbroken. The old servant came in and said to Tian, "This is a relapse of my son's old illness. It can only be cured with the blood of the heart of a living or just dead person. "
Tian saw that the king of Chu was in a coma, and if he was not treated, he would die. My ex-husband just died. How can I get out of the destruction? She hurried to Zhuang Zhou's room to get an axe and split Zhuang Zhou's coffin.
Unexpectedly, after the coffin was split open, Zhuang Zhou, who was lying inside, suddenly sat up and startled Tian. She helped Zhuang Zhou out of trouble and told the story.
Zhuang Zhou said, "I'm afraid you'll be sad and lonely after I leave, and you won't remarry, so I'm relieved to come up with this plan."
Tian realized that all this was done by Zhuang Zhou. She felt sorry for Zhuang Zhou's arrangement for her, and at the same time she was ashamed of her promise to marry King Chu Sun. A little later, Tian Ran returned to his room and hanged himself.
Zhuang Zhou failed his wife's affection when he saw her death. When a person dies, everything will be empty and no amount of magic can bring her back to life. Unfortunately, he carried his wife into the split coffin and sang an elegy for her.
After the elegy, Zhuang Zhou went out and smiled. Since then, he has traveled around the world and taught the world the truth about himself and the world.
