The annual spring ploughing festival officially began, and in the villages and markets of the Song Kingdom, wherever there are people living in the place, there are gongs and drums, and there is a happy scene.
This year, in particular, is different from previous years.
In the Song Kingdom after the heavy snowfall, the crops grew gratifyingly.
Obviously, this year is a big harvest year.
The population of the Song Kingdom was concentrated, and everyone lived together and cultivated the surrounding land.
Good land is divided equally among everyone, and land in remote places, as long as you have the ability to plant, you can have many varieties.
Everyone lives together, you look at me and I look at you, the men compare how much they farm, and the women also compete together to see who is the most capable.
The enthusiasm of life is very high, and everyone is full of energy.
In the case of families in difficulty, under the leadership of the Taoists, everyone helped them to work, giving them money and food.
Everyone lives together, and everyone can see clearly who helped and who didn't.
If someone who has the ability doesn't help, everyone will talk about him in person or behind his back.
People who are incapable also help like others, and everyone also talks about him in front of or behind his back, saying that he is capable and loves face.
Helping others is based on one's own ability, not on face.
This year is estimated to be a good year, so everyone attaches great importance to the spring festival.
On the day of the Spring Ploughing Festival, there was no one at the checkpoint on the official road, and people went back on vacation.
Or huddle in a stronghold and sacrifice to the gods in your own way.
On the government side, they are all busy with the spring festival, and other affairs have been put on hold for the time being.
In short, on the day of the spring ploughing festival, all mundane affairs were put down and sacrificed wholeheartedly.
On this day, when the whole Song Kingdom was busy with the spring ploughing festival, there was an undercurrent surging in the Song Kingdom.
On the official road of the Song Kingdom, fast horses galloped past.
From all over the Song Kingdom, he rushed to the capital.
"Driving, driving" Zhuangzi whipped his horses, faster than the eight-hundred-mile urgent messenger, and passed through the checkpoints of the Song Kingdom.
The scene of people sacrificing on the roadside seems to have nothing to do with him.
Fortunately, on the day of the Spring Ploughing Festival, everyone wanted to ask for a good omen, and everything went well.
Zhuangzi changed five horses a day, but no one refused.
Of course, he also gave enough money to buy a horse, plus the horse he rode.
Both sides were happy, one got a good horse, and the other got not only money, but also a horse.
After a day and a night of continuous travel, Zhuangzi was not far from the capital.
After another day and a night of driving, you can reach Pengcheng, the capital of the Song Kingdom.
Under the contact of the five hermits, people continued to rush from all over the country to the capital and assemble at the agreed place.
Zhuangzi didn't know these people and didn't talk to them on the road.
After the spring ploughing festival, from the next day, there will be checkpoints on the official road again.
It's just like nothing.
The staff is overwhelmed, just glance at the people passing by, and return to the usual scene.
This was not the case some time ago, because this year's spring ploughing festival is different from previous years, and it is a national sacrifice issued by the king of the Song Dynasty.
On the other side of the capital, the king held a series of public sacrifices.
For the sake of safety, from the beginning of the preparation of the spring festival, people entering the capital are checked.
After the Spring Festival, the king will not participate in public activities, and there will be no danger, and there will be no need for investigation.
So it doesn't matter to the people who come in and out of the capital.
In order to prevent being interrogated by officers and soldiers, Zhuangzi and others will slow down when they pass through the checkpoint.
After passing the level, I quickly stepped up.
After walking for three more days, Zhuangzi arrived at the capital.
After arriving at the designated place, many people had already arrived in advance.
The five hermits have not yet arrived, and Zhuangzi does not know any of these people who have come.
The five hermits knew that these people were quite old.

The youngest was in his forties, and the oldest was in his seventies and eighties.
But don't underestimate these plainly dressed, scruffy beards, and gray-haired people, all of them are extraordinary.
As Taoists, they are all very deeply hidden, and they usually live in a very low-key manner, pretending to be more than life.
In fact, they all have unique skills and are deeply hidden.
Don't look at their plain clothes, maybe they are all wealthy.
When these people saw Zhuangzi, they saw that he was so young, his cheekbones were prominent, he was already thin, and he had a few beards, and he looked even thinner, and they were all a little disappointed.
However, for the sake of introducing the five hermits of humanity, one by one had to face it squarely.
Moreover, he is the personal disciple of Yang Zhu's predecessors, and it is impossible for Yang Zhu's predecessors to hand over such a heavy task to him without two brushes.
Most of them have listened to the sermons of Yang Zhu's predecessors, and they have all thoroughly realized the Tao after listening to Yang Zhu's sermons.
So they all accepted Zhuangzi and wanted to test whether this young man was worthy of the name For the sake of safety, everyone did not gather in one place, but scattered in various inns, wine shops, restaurants and other places in the town, completely acting as if they were coming to the capital to do business.
Because the capital of the Song Kingdom was relatively small, people who wanted to enter the capital had to go to the city gate office in advance with their household slips to go through the procedures for entering the city.
It is equivalent to the license plate limit in modern society, and only receives so many people into the city every day, and the extra people are arranged until the next day.
Therefore, the people who came to the capital of the Song Kingdom settled in the small towns around the capital.
The small towns on the periphery of the capital also prospered and became a scenic line of the Song Kingdom.
For the sake of safety, Zhuangzi did not dare to preach publicly.
However, when everyone asked him questions, he knew everything and said everything, and he did his best to answer them.
Everyone was satisfied with his explanation.
As for the mental realm, these people don't understand it.
In the Yang Zhu period, the mental realm was still in the period of exploration.
Yang Zhu preached wholeheartedly, and there was no progress in the cultivation of the mental realm.
So much so that he was not as good as Liezi in terms of cultivation in the heart realm.
Besides, Yang Zhu only taught the inner disciples the Heart Realm exercises.
For outsiders, he only preached, not the spiritual exercises.
Therefore, in the time of Yang Zhu, only a few people practiced Taoist heart realm exercises.
Most people only study Taoist theories and understand life.
Yang Zhu's cultivation of the mental realm was completely realized after living in seclusion.
However, when he taught Zhuangzi, because Zhuangzi was too young and had no social experience, he could not understand many aspects.
For the cultivation of the mental realm, it is necessary to have a certain amount of social experience.
You don't have a certain amount of social experience, and there are some exercises that you can't understand thoroughly.
It is precisely for this reason that Zhuangzi is slower than Rong'er and Yang Qing'er in terms of cultivation in the heart realm.
Although he is a master, he has to work hard to understand it thoroughly.
And when he told Rong'er, Yang Qing'er, Mai'er and others about his cultivation experience, they understood it at all.
Blue is better than blue, there is such a magic that Zhuangzi has to accept it even if he is not convinced In addition to preaching to these old-timers every day, Zhuangzi paid attention to the situation in the imperial palace of the capital.
It's also strange that since the Spring Ploughing Festival, the capital of the Song Kingdom has been unusually calm, with no changes, and no adjustments have been made in defense.
Outwardly, it's more slack-up than before.
After planning, on the day of the spring ploughing festival, the mother did not participate in the public sacrifice activities.
And Song Quecheng is normal, it seems that she has not been invited. aa2705221:
