Liezi met Ji Xian, and when he got back, he said to the pot, "Master, I thought you were old and powerful. Now there is a Ji Xian who is more powerful than you!"
The pot said, "You have only learned the skin of my skills, and you are far from getting the word. He only knows the appearance, not the essence. If you don't believe me, call him tomorrow and let you show it to the teacher! "
The next day, Liezi invited Ji Xian. When Ji Xian saw the pot, he went out and said to Liezi, "Your master is dead and has ten days to live. I look at his appearance, and the vitality revealed is like ashes submerged by water. "
Liezi came back and cried and told the master. But the pot said, "What I just showed is the state of mind of the earth, which has no beginning and no end. Of course, he can't see my vitality. Ask him to come again tomorrow. "
On the third day, Liezi called Jixian again. When Ji Xian went out, he said, "Your master is really lucky to meet me. He was saved! I saw that his life was no longer completely closed and there were signs of re-exposure. "
Liezi went back and told the master. Nothing said, "What I showed today is the sympathy between heaven and earth. Everything will sprout, and he saw a glimmer of life in it." Call him tomorrow. "
On the fourth day, the pot came again, went out and shook his head and said to Liezi, "Today is not appropriate because your master's state is very unstable. I will see it again when he is no longer so unpredictable. "
Liezi went back and told the master, and Guo said, "I just showed him the state of mind of interaction between Yin and Yang and the combination of all things, which he certainly couldn't understand with his skill." The deep water where big fish lurk is deep, the motionless deep water is deep, and the merged deep water is deep. Deep nine sides, all unfathomable. I only said three here, and he can't see through it anyway. Call him again tomorrow. "
On the fifth day, Ji Xian seems to be addicted. Liezi called, and he came again. As a result, he only glanced at the pot, and Ji Xian turned and ran. Nothing said, "Do you want to run without saying a word? Get him back quickly! "
Liezi went out for a walk and came back and said to the master, "Look, you scared people. He's long gone. I missed it. " Nothing said with a smile: "What I just showed him is like the origin of a world and the constant changes of everything, which seems to have traces but seems to have no traces. He couldn't see the end, his thoughts were taken away, and he was at a loss and ran away. "
Liezi realized that he didn't get the master biography at all, so he packed up his mentality and practiced well. ...
