The Shocking and Extraordinary Romance of the Great Sage

Zhang Guolao said:"Mencius said: 'In the beginning, human nature is good. Nature is similar, but habits are far away. If you don't teach, nature will change.' Is that guy really cut off in two? You still have to take one step, look at it, and check his behavior." Ning Jiucheng said:"What your Excellency said is absolutely true. I'm just afraid that Mr. Peng is determined to be a thief and steals my beloved wife. What can I do?"

Guo Lao said:"Don't be afraid. I'll go and find out Mr. Peng's intentions when I compose a song of love." Let's draw a conclusion." After that, the two said goodbye.

The next day, Zhang Guolao rode his donkey upside down and passed by the yard of Mr. Peng's house. He beat the fishing drum and sang a Taoist saying: When the gold is transported, it becomes copper, and when the copper comes, it looks like gold.

A person must be virtuous, and loyalty is worth a thousand pieces of gold.

It's easy to do good and get good, but how to behave as a person if you go astray.

A wise man does not keep things secret, and listens carefully to loyal advice.

There are straight trees in the mountains, but there are no straight people in their branches.

Don't believe in the straight and the straight, and beware of being unkind.

Good things never go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.

He is afraid of the law and enjoys it every day, but he deceives others and loses his conscience.

Do not covet your friends and wives, do not benefit yourself at the expense of others.

Don't fall into evil spirits in your floating life, and you will be blessed every year.

At this point, a person came out, it was Mr. Peng. He was polite, raised his hands and said:"Old senior, your lyrics and singing are particularly touching. But no one pays for you, so why ask for trouble!"

Guo Lao smiled and said:"I write songs out of love, not for money. In exchange for money! It's just for each other to be happy and laugh. How can it be boring? The fun is in it." Mr. Peng stood up and said:"How can it be interesting in it? You said: 'Fear the law and enjoy yourself every day, deceiving others. lose conscience’，‘Don't be greedy for your friends and wives, don't benefit yourself at the expense of others, and so on. Could it be that he was referring to Sang and Huai and making insinuations! How can we get any interest out of this?!"

Zhang Guolao said as if:"'Referring to the mulberry tree and cursing the locust tree, making insinuations? Where to start? I never knew you. Could it be that you have a guilty conscience and are thirsty after eating soy meat? What else could it be? Mr. Peng said seriously,"I am a gentleman, how can I be a thief?" Ever since I was a child, I have never even picked up a piece of wire. How could I feel guilty after listening to the lyrics of my predecessors?"Guo Lao said:"Sir, the word 'thief' I mentioned does not only refer to stealing things and money, but also has a broad meaning. Mr.

Peng asked doubtfully:"What other broad meaning can there be?" Guo Lao said:"Guangyi, like stealing people!" Stealing a friend's or other's wife. Stealing articles! Sneak attacks on other people's articles,"slap on the face and pretend to be fat", to add luster to your own face. Steal the seal! Conspiracy to usurp the power and position of an honest official. Steal your heart! Use sweet words to extract the secrets from other people's hearts, distort them, sow discord, put people to death and then be happy! Mr. Peng was like a grass struck by frost. He was dying and hanging his head. He was secretly sweating all over his body. He couldn't say:"What the boss... said... makes sense." I have also done stupid things... From now on, according to the words of my seniors, I will not dare to go astray. As the saying goes: If you often walk at night, you will encounter ghosts."

Zhang Guo looked at his face and checked his appearance, knowing that what the young master said was somewhat sincere. He bowed his hands and bowed, then rode his donkey backwards and galloped far away.
