Third Ren Zu telling

In this telling, freedom Gu flies to Ren Zu of its own accord, not for his sake, since it says he once used attitude Gu to bully it, love to bind it, and wealth to bribe it, but because it is drawn to the cognition Gu on him. Whoever holds it can also sense happiness Gu’s location. Ren Zu refuses to let go even as fate Gu’s spider silk binds and cuts into him, but once the silk eases and cognition Gu withdraws, he opens his hands in a panic to check on it, and it flies free the instant a gap appears. ch. 1954
