I have no experience at all in recruiting soldiers and horses. I often see Uncle Ma making gestures at home, but I never take it seriously.
Therefore, people are often like this. The closer they are to themselves and the more easily they are available, the less they care about them and do not take them seriously. This is true for people and things.
In fact, it’s not my fault, because this is human nature.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius summed up this sentence, which is: Those who are close will feel inferior, and those who are far away will feel resentful.
This is a passage in the Analects of Confucius, which means that if the relationship between people is too close, it will be difficult to be respectful; if the distance is too far, it will be disrespectful. resentment.
Regardless of any relationship, this sentence probably applies, too close is not enough, and too far is not enough.
If the distance is too far, there will be no need to explain, but if the distance is too close, there will be no sense of mystery and a sense of contempt will arise.
As the old saying goes, "There are no great people around great men." Because after staying around a great man for a long time, you will always know some of the great man's little secrets. Then watching the great man eat, drink, and sleep like you every day, the aura of the great man will be in your eyes. It will slowly fade away, and I will start to lose respect day by day.
There is another saying, "There is no beauty beside your pillow", which means the same thing, so why do men always think that other people's wives are better? That's why.
You think your wife is nothing, but she may be the beauty that other men covet.
You think your husband is nothing, but he will be the model husband that other women long for.
As the saying goes, this is a broken thread, another is a brocade, one is arsenic, and another is honey.
In daily life, we often encounter such situations. For example, if we have a close relationship with our friends and family, it is difficult for us to feel respectful in our hearts. Even if this friend or family member is extremely noble in the eyes of outsiders, they are just a little Karami in your eyes.
You may even laugh at others, saying that this person used to go fishing with me naked in the river, and the fish bit his chicken, and he came home swollen.
Or tell people, isn’t that guy who grinds his teeth while sleeping and chirps while eating and doesn’t wash his feet for days? He can also become a celebrity?
There is actually a kind of jealousy and resentment in the hearts of these people, and it is impossible to generate respect at all.
Of course, on the contrary to this kind of person, there is another kind of person who will immediately turn into a licking dog, hug your thighs immediately, and start messing with you immediately.
Therefore, no matter what the relationship is, we must learn to maintain appropriate distance and respect in getting along, so as to establish good interpersonal relationships.
However, "being close is disrespectful". I think there is another meaning. It is not that being close is disrespectful, but that when you are close, you will ignore and ignore it, and you will not treat it with a very respectful attitude.
Just like Uncle Ma and I, I have been with him for so many years. It is wrong to say that I don’t respect him. He is actually almost like my biological father in my heart.
However, I really didn’t treat him as a mysterious expert, and I really didn’t have a respectful attitude. Because he snored, I once stuffed a cotton ball in his nose and almost suffocated him to death...
Precisely because being close is disrespectful, every time Uncle Ma wanted to teach me something, I would run whenever I could, hide whenever I could, and be lazy whenever I could.
So every time he did something in the hut, I was too lazy to watch, bother to care, and even bother to learn.
I always feel that as long as he is around, I don’t have to worry about many things.
But now, he was lying down, half dead, his soul was gone. Usually this little old man was alive and kicking, but now he could only lie in bed stunned.
When I got home, I came to Uncle Ma's altar and was in a daze. Looking at the portrait of the old gentleman, I silently shed tears with sadness.
It’s not that I’m sad for Uncle Ma, but mainly for myself, because I don’t know those Taoist methods at all, and I have learned too little...
At this moment, I secretly made up my mind. If Lao Ma Tou wakes up and comes back to life this time, I will definitely squeeze out all his knowledge in the shortest possible time so that he will have no regrets in the future and I will have no regrets. .
He is already old, and I can't put all the difficult things on him. After all, I will have to bear the burden for him in the future.
I gently wiped away my tears, burned incense in front of the altar, and then began to recite Uncle Ma's duties, knelt down and kowtowed, and asked for soldiers and horses.
In fact, when people invite soldiers, horses or officers, there is a certain ceremony. I don't know anything, so I might as well kneel down and kowtow. At least I have sincerity.
Don’t talk about it, this thing is really sincere and spiritual. I chanted it for a long time, and slowly I started to feel sensations in my body. It was cold and hot, and it was numb and numb, just like an electric shock.
With my eyes closed, various pictures began to flash in my mind, all of them scenes from the sky, as well as heavenly soldiers and generals, all majestic and shining with golden light.
But I couldn't communicate with them at all. I could only see the images and feel the majestic power.
Really, at this moment, I felt as if my whole body had been sublimated, as if I was standing in the sky, and my body began to shine with golden light.
So I didn't care whether I could communicate or not, so I silently told the story of Uncle Ma's danger in my heart, and then asked these heavenly soldiers and generals to come with me to rescue Uncle Ma.
After chanting for a while, all the images slowly disappeared. Those heavenly soldiers and generals all left, as if... they didn't pay attention to me at all.
I was wondering, what did this mean? Did I agree or not?
Suddenly, two rays of golden light fell from among the disappearing heavenly soldiers and generals, landing right in front of me.
These two were both heavenly generals shining with golden light, and they were two meters away. I was kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise my head, but I was overjoyed and kept thanking them.
It seems that my prayers worked, and I was indeed invited to two divine generals!
I quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and then when I looked up again, the two divine generals suddenly disappeared again.
I couldn't help but be shocked. I looked up and looked around. The god general was nowhere to be seen.
But out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a flash of light above my Emperor's Order.
I couldn't help but be overjoyed again. These two divine generals should have known that I didn't have any magical weapons, so they took a liking to my Emperor's Order at the first sight.
Not bad, not bad. Although there were only two divine generals, I felt confident at once, so I quickly called Ma Yunfeng and asked him how the situation was over there.
Ma Yunfeng said that Uncle Ma still didn't wake up, and he couldn't find out the specific situation even though he tried his best.
However, Senior Brother has already arrived at the airport. He shouldn’t have to wait until tomorrow, he will arrive in the middle of the night!
I rubbed my hands, looked at the portrait of Mr. Lao Jun, knelt down and kowtowed a few more times.
Pray for the blessing of the old gentleman, so that the disciples can wipe out the evil spirits and save Uncle Ma!
In the future, this disciple will definitely do good deeds, serve the Tao with all his heart, and strive to be a little treasure in the hands of the Grandmaster!
