Chapter 52 Section 2 Mohist Castle in Shennong Mountain

Although it is winter, Shennong Mountain is still vast and boundless green. There is a winding plank road on the cliff, and two figures are walking slowly on the plank road.This is Qin Xiaogong Ying Quliang and Mohist disciple Xuan Qi who have just stepped into this mysterious mountain.Xiao Gong walked cautiously, while Xuan Qi continued to remind him from behind.Watching while walking, Xiaogong was greatly moved by the wonderful scenery in the mountains.Since ancient times, this vast forest has been inaccessible. The ancient trees in the mountains are towering, and the streams and waterfalls of unknown origin are like thunder in the empty valley from time to time, and it rains all over the sky.Looking around, the strange peaks are steep, and a line of blue sky appears and disappears in the grand canyon between the cliffs. The deep valley bottom is inlaid with mirror-like lakes!As the mountain wind passed by, the sound of Lin Haitao filled the entire world, and all the sounds were melted into the roar of the mountain god.As the wind subsides and the mountains are empty, birds and animals sing and it seems that they are close at hand, but they can't see a single bird or beast.A vast and boundless emptiness, an indescribable serenity, an ancient purity, and an all-swallowing terror filled this mountain with a bewildering and soul-stirring solemnity.

"Such a mountain is the best commentary on Mohism, the harmony between man and nature." Qin Xiaogong finally found his feeling. Xuan Qi looked around and said in a low voice, "If you go any further, you won't be able to speak. I'll deal with it." Qin Xiaogong nodded, and retreated behind Xuan Qi, "It's just that the Mo family is so particular, living in the sky, they are so attentive." Xuan Qi smiled and said: "My lord, the world wants to destroy the Mohists, but there are many people." "It's Chu and Wei. Could there be more?"

"Aren't you one of them?" Duke Xiao laughed, Xuan Qi gave a "shh" and said: "Look ahead, that's the first pass, black card." A sudden rock protrudes in the sky, like a huge arm growing out of the mountain, hanging high in front of the plank road, almost connecting with the cliff of the opposite mountain to form a stone bridge in the air.The rocks of the mountain are in a strange blue-black color, and the part protruding from the sky is bare without any grass. The exposed rocks are faintly illuminated in the dark canyon, which looks very strange.Qin Xiaogong looked at it in surprise, and a loud arrow whizzed from the root of the rock's arm and flew obliquely to the sky.

"Good work!" Qin Xiaogong couldn't help admiring softly. Xuan Qi waved his hands and said in a low voice: "Follow me, don't talk." Then he walked on the plank road with ease, as if walking on flat ground.Xiaogong is far less proficient than Xuanqi in walking such a plank road, and the wooden boards under his feet creaked and creaked.When the two of them bent over a protruding mountain and entered a sunken mountain, they looked at the blue-black volleying boulder, which seemed to be hanging above their heads.Xuan Qi stomped his feet lightly, signaling Xiao Gong to stop.

"What is one?" A deep and slow voice came from the volleying boulder. Xuan Qi drew a big circle with his right arm, and replied leisurely: "One is a circle. One is the same length." "Why two?" Xuan Qi crossed his hands and stretched out, "Two things are different, they are two." "Two things are different, how can they be the same?" Xuan Qi put his arms together and stretched forward, "The difference is not the opposite, it is one." A long small white flag like a streamer protruded from the huge boulder in the sky, swinging left and right, "Black card, pass—"

Xuan Qi stomped his foot lightly again, and Xiaogong moved his steps.Just passing through the huge boulder flying in the air, Xiaogong heard another scream behind him, a loud arrow flew into the sky with a puff of yellow smoke, but he didn't know what kind of signal it was?Xiaogong turned his head to see the position of the secret whistle in the boulder, but found four big characters engraved on the boulder volleying across the sky-non-attack paradise!Strange, how is this word engraved in it?After thinking about it carefully, it suddenly dawned on me that those who enter the mountains outside can only see the nature of the mountains and rivers, and only the disciples of the Mohists and friends who have been certified and verified can see the signs of people in the desolation and terror, leaving a trace of the deserted and lonely journey. warmth.I have turned around a mountain bay in my mind, and a waterfall pierces through the air from the opposite cliff like a horse, flying beads and jade, faintly roaring, and it is extremely magnificent.

Xiaogong pointed to the waterfall with his finger, and then pointed to his mouth, gesticulating in exclamation, like a dumb tongue. Xuan Qi laughed loudly, "You can talk now! You are really obedient." Qin Xiaogong stared at the waterfall, "It's so beautiful. The Mohist practiced asceticism, but enjoyed the essence of the mountains and rivers, which is also a great joy." Xuan Qi supported him by the shoulder and smiled, "Okay? We won't be the king anymore, how about we be hermits?" Xiaogong patted her hand, "Okay, when Qin is strong, as long as I am still alive, I will definitely find a big mountain."

"Don't lie to me. Qin is strong, and you want to unify the world, can you think of me?" Duke Xiao laughed, "That's really hard to fill." He sighed again, "But little girl, maybe there will be such a day. I don't want to do all the great things in the world, I just want Qin to become stronger in my hands." "My lord, I know." Xuan Qi put his head on Duke Xiao's chest affectionately and pointed, "If I were alive at that time, I would definitely go find you and steal you away. The palace will be shocked, ah ! There is no monarch anymore!" Xuan Qi was vivid, and the two laughed happily.

While talking, the two continued on the plank road.The rocks of the mountain turned white from nowhere, and the plank road was like a thin line between the cliffs.As he was walking, he saw a pillar of white rock standing up to the sky, vaguely like a long sword piercing the sky.This "long sword" was born out of thin air on the mountainside, and it is obviously an excellent commanding height to control the plank road from a bird's-eye view of the plank road at high altitude.The tip of Bai Yan's sword, like a stone, shot upwards with a whistling sound!Another object came after the moon like a shooting star, and hit the object in front of it directly. The two objects collided with each other, and there was a loud noise. A cloud of red smoke faintly dispersed in the sound of mountains and valleys, like a flower blooming in the blue sky.

Qin Xiaogong seemed to have forgotten that he was in a dangerous situation, he was amazed by the sight, Xuan Qi stomped his feet, and then he calmed down. "The two entered the garden, do you want to steal peaches and plums?" The voice seemed to come from the clouds, ethereal and clear. Xuan Qi bowed his hands to the sky, "The two of you come together, and the evil of the sky will be eradicated." "God, what is the evil?" Xuan Qi dagger stretched forward, "The sky is evil and unrighteous, and the heaven is just and unjust." "What is Shuntian's intention?"

Xuan Qi made an embrace with both hands: "Jian love is not offensive." Xuan Qi's voice fell to the point, and he saw a small black flag sticking out from the top of Baiyan and swaying towards the mountain: "Bai Ka, pass—" Hurrying, the two walked three miles away, and saw that the white rock had faded into gray rocks, and the plank road had come to an end.Next is a narrow trail leading up the mountainside ahead.Xiaogong let out a long breath, "Is there any yellow card or red card in front?" Xuan Qi chuckled and said, "Not anymore. You can see the General Hospital after you turn over this hill." Xiaogong laughed teasingly: " Old Mozi is so weird, he used the Mohist scriptures as a code word, and made up his mind not to associate with outsiders?" Xuan Qi said with a smile: "It doesn't hurt to stand up and talk. This is also forced out. The Mohist has many enemies, and they are all based on the country. The enemy. Scouts from various countries buy rangers and often try their best to break into the Mohist school. If the defense is not strict, how can the Mohist family survive for a long time? There are interception organs everywhere in the world. Waiting for a large army to attack it will not be able to enter." Duke Xiao sighed, "Old Mozi is so powerful that he can be said to be the master of the world!" Xuan Qi laughed and said: "Perhaps this is the true nature of a strong man. A strong man is arrogant, a strong country is domineering, and a strong student is arrogant. Old Mencius scolded the world all over the world, but didn't he rely on his knowledge? You will be the same in the future. When Qin Guo is strong, you are not domineering." ?” Duke Xiao smiled, "Overbearing? I hope there is time." "Aren't you afraid?" Xuan Qi stared at Qin Xiaogong with bright eyes. "What are you afraid of?" Duke Xiao was surprised. "Crossing the mountain, you will arrive at the General Hospital. The Mohists have always paid attention to punishing violence and not caring about the heart. It is really unpredictable..." Duke Xiao smiled calmly: "Little sister, you are more dangerous than me. Take me into the mountains, you are already a traitor of the Mohist family, and I am more worried that something unexpected will happen to you." "Big Brother!" Xuan Qi blurted out, and suddenly hugged Xiao Gong, "I'm not afraid. I can live and die with you, this life is enough." Duke Xiao held Xuan Qi's trembling shoulders, the oath made outside the gate of the Wuxuan Village in the snowy March appeared in front of his eyes, and he said softly: "Never move, not easy, never leave, never abandon." "Heaven and earth are united, you dare to break with the king." Xuan Qi had a satisfied smile on his face. It was getting dark in the canyon.When the two of them walked out of the narrow path at a quick pace, their eyes suddenly opened up—a green valley surrounded by strange peaks, the setting sun was hanging on the top of the mountain in the west, and the peaks and forests were golden.On the hillside of the largest mountain in the north, a piece of resplendent and magnificent roofs can be seen in the distance, and intermittent gray stone walls are exposed among the green trees all over the mountain.An archery tower stands on the southern section of the gray wall. Although it is not as large as the city's archery tower, it looks extraordinarily majestic when it is built in this barren and precipitous mountain. Suddenly, a long and mournful howl resounded through the valley, like crying but not crying, full of despair and anger.The two of them were startled at the same time, and rushed up to the top of the high mountain, looked around, couldn't help but turn pale--I saw a big man in black tied to a big stone pillar by a thick iron chain in an open space outside the watchtower, holding an iron Lei in his hand digging.Beside the stone pillar, a big black monkey in a red coat was holding a long cane, and kept beating the strong man in black.Regardless of the whipping, the big black man just leaned on the iron lei and looked out of the mountain, howling continuously! "The dignified Mo family, how can they be so cruel and inhuman?" Qin Xiaogong's expression was gloomy. Xuan Qi was surprised and said: "Could it be possible to be rebellious? Don't worry, wait for them to go back before leaving." There was a lot of noise in front of the castle, and a group of Mohist disciples in black and white came down the mountain road to the east, carrying iron poles, shovels, and big saws on their shoulders.Another group of young men and women walked down the mountain road to the west, carrying bamboo baskets and medicine hoes.Approaching the castle tower, some of the disciples on the east side shouted: "Who sings a song to relieve fatigue?" "Big Brother, Qin Huali! Sing—" the young disciples on the west side cheered happily. Only one person in the crowd laughed loudly: "It's better, let Deng Lingzi sing." "No! Both brothers have to sing—!" The young disciples shouted with a smile. "Sing, it's rare to hear two singing voices on weekdays, let's make the little brothers and sisters happy." There was a strong voice from the east to help the young children, which attracted cheers. Just hearing a cough, a thick and long singing voice resounded through the valley: A harmony echoed in the valley, "Don't sink into the flow of human desires, don't sink into..." Another desolate and passionate singing voice continued: The sad and passionate children's voice sang, "I miss my life and the suffering of the people, and the martyrs dance to the relatives..." The long singing voice drifted to the deep and boundless mountains and forests, and merged with the faint Lin Tao, as if the world was weeping and mourning. "This is the Mohist's "Song of Worry"?" Qin Xiaogong burst into tears. Xuan Qi nodded silently, and sighed heavily, "This "Song of Worry" is not allowed to be sung on weekdays." Suddenly, the mournful howl pierced the valley again, appearing grotesque and terrifying in the sad lingering sound of "Song of Sorrow".The burly man in black danced and gestured to the group of Mohist disciples, but no one paid any attention.The disciples suddenly stopped singing and laughing, and walked into the doorway under the arrow tower silently.The monkey in the red coat also skipped and untied the iron chain, and drove the big man in black into the castle with the rattan. Xuan Qi looked at Xiao Gong, concern flashed in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Let's go." Qin Xiaogong smiled, "This is your home, don't be afraid, let's go." The sun had already set, and it was dark in the Grand Canyon.Qin Xiaogong saw clearly that the open space outside the castle was a newly cultivated piece of loose soil, and he thought that the big man in black had been imprisoned by iron chains and monkeys for a long time, so he couldn't help sighing softly. Down the arrow tower, two sword-wielding disciples stopped Xuan Qi, "Please show your house number." Xuan Qi took out a black stone tablet from his bosom and handed it over.The sword-wielding disciple looked at it, cupped his hands and said, "Brother was punished to go out of the mountain, and he must obtain a warrant from the giant to return to the mountain." Xuan Qi said: "I have an accident, I have to see the giant immediately with this gentleman. Please report to the teacher immediately." "Please wait a moment." The sword-wielding disciple hurried away. A moment later, there was a sound of hurried footsteps inside the gate, and Qin Huali and Deng Lingzi hurried over with a few sword-wielding disciples.Qin Huali looked at the two of Xuan Qi, smiled lightly and said: "Junior Sister Xuan Qi, will you return to the mountain to report victory?" "Report to Elder Brother, Xuan Qi has an urgent matter. It is not appropriate to go into details here." Deng Lingzi asked coldly: "Who is this? How could he enter the Mohist General Academy?" Qin Xiaogong cupped his hands and smiled calmly: "I am Ying Quliang, the king of the Qin Kingdom, and I am here to pay a visit to the Mohist giant." When the words fell to the point, Qin Huali and Deng Lingzi suddenly changed their colors.All the disciples in the gate turned their eyes on each other even more, and immediately surrounded Qin Xiaogong with their swords, shouting in unison: "Arrogant tyrant, shoot and kill!" Xuan Qi stood in front of Duke Xiao, and said sharply: "Bold! Without a ruling by a giant, who would dare to kill the king of a country?" Qin Xiaogong pushed Xuan Qi away, and said with a slight smile: "Is the Mohist's elimination of violence all so indiscriminate?" Qin Huali had regained his composure, and ordered solemnly: "Take back the sword and return to the team. Junior brother Deng, first imprison Xuan Qi." "Wait a minute." Qin Xiao justly said: "Qin's right and wrong is up to me. If you treat her like a black man and treat her like a hard slave, I will never forgive you." "How? You want to stop the Mohists from enforcing the law?" Deng Lingzi sneered. Qin Xiaogong resolutely resolutely said, "Xuan Qi is the great hero of the Qin State, not just a disciple of the Mohists. If you dare to abuse Xuanqi, I will personally lead the warriors of the Qin State and wipe out the Mohism!" Deng Lingzi had already felt that he had lost face in Qin, but at this moment he became angry and shouted, "Ying Quliang! You are going to be crazy! Annihilate the Mo family? I, Deng Lingzi, will try your skills first!" Passing by a disciple beside him With a broad dagger, his big sleeve arched: "Please, a fair duel." Qin Huali shouted: "Deng Lingzi back down!" Qin Xiaogong laughed, "Brother Qin, don't stop him, Ying Quliang is just trying to learn the Mohist swordsmanship." In fact, on the way here, Xiaogong has already thought over and over again the various dangers he may encounter in the Mohist school and the countermeasures.He is very clear that the Mohist school, a school of thought that prides itself on the justice of heaven and runs rampant in the world, has formed a domineering contempt for the world for a hundred years. When necessary, at the joints that do not hurt the overall situation, they must understand that there is a sky beyond the sky, and the Mohist is not Almighty is not the supreme justice that is invincible.Swordsmanship was originally Ying Quliang's forte. He has been fighting with the army since he was twelve years old. He was awarded the Black Eagle Swordsman Armor of Qin State at the age of sixteen.Although foot fighting and sword fighting are not the same as knight fighting, and Deng Lingzi is the one with the highest level of swordsmanship among the four disciples of the Mohist school, how many evils in the world have been deterred by a strange Wu hook curved sword?But Qin Xiaogong is still full of confidence in victory.Besides, Xuan Qi's safety is actually tied to Qin's strength and positive inclination, the difference between positive and negative can only be determined by seeing Lao Mozi, and the strength must be known to the other party at present.Because everyone knows that no matter how poor or weak a big country ranks among the Warring States, it is more than enough to deal with a school with its mighty men.The crux of the problem is whether the monarch of this country has the temperament of a decisive battle and the bravery to launch this kind of extermination.That being the case, how could he not be generous? Seeing Deng Lingzi holding the short sword, Qin Xiaogong said with a smile: "Deng Lingzi, please change your Wu hook." Deng Lingzi sneered, "That depends on your ability, are you worthy of using the Wu hook?" Qin Xiaogong frowned, his originally dark face turned darker, and said coldly: "Then have a look." Taking three steps forward, the long sword came out of its sheath, "Please." "Let's invite the long sword first." Deng Lingzi's words were intended to ridicule Qin Xiaogong's noble status, and at the same time, he also intentionally or unintentionally reminded the fellow disciples present that I let him have the upper hand in weapons.During the Warring States Period, the wide-bodied dagger was widely used.Long swords are only owned by monarchs, commanders and very few famous swordsmen.Later, with the improvement of refined iron smelting technology and the increase of iron production, the three-foot long sword gradually became common in the late Qin and early Han Dynasties. Unexpectedly Qin Xiaogong heard this, smiled slightly, turned around and said: "Little Sister Xuanqi, please lend me a dagger." Xuan Qi was already sweating in a hurry, but now he was even more worried, "Short sword..." After thinking about it, he forcibly choked back the words that followed.Xuan Qi is also a Mohist talented woman with long experience, so how could she not know the reason why duels should not be distracted?She silently held out the one-foot sword that Qin Xiaogong gave him.She knew that it must be a weapon he used smoothly. Qin Xiaogong's dagger was actually a few inches shorter than Deng Lingzi's dagger.With a smooth movement of his left hand, the dagger slipped out of the scabbard made of rhinoceros leather, and a streak of light shone in the twilight—it was undoubtedly a magic weapon! Deng Lingzi regretted that he was so talkative that it turned into a real duel of equals.It would seem wordy to say anything more at this moment, so he stopped talking, stabbed straight with the dagger, and a cold light came straight to Duke Xiao's chest.Qin Xiaogong's eyesight was extremely sharp, he slid sideways, and he was on Deng Lingzi's left side, and with a flick of the dagger, when Deng Lingzi was turning around quickly, the dagger was already under his left rib!Deng Lingzi was not paying attention at first, but suddenly he was covered in cold sweat. With a loud shout, the broad-body short sword was pressed down like lightning, and swept across in an arc.This is Wu Hookjian's continuous attack movement, the defense and attack are connected, and it is extremely fierce.Unexpectedly, when Qin Xiaogong raised the dagger, his steps turned rapidly to the left. When Deng Lingzi's wide-bodied dagger returned to defend and strike down, his one-foot sword had already retracted, and it slid lightly to Deng Lingzi's left side. Avoiding the arc-shaped sword light in the front, and the dagger quickly pierced Deng Lingzi's left waist!In this offensive, Deng Lingzi has already understood - must get rid of this passive rotation!He squatted down and jumped to the right, avoiding the left stab, and the broad dagger cut a semicircle about a foot above the ground, and there would be no place for Qin Xiaogong within one zhang in front of him.This is the foot combat stunt of the Mo family - low attack and chopping feet!However, Qin Xiaogong has been fighting on horseback for a long time, and he is well-trained in counterattacking against infantry's low attack, and his response is extremely sensitive.When Deng Lingzi jumped and squatted down, he had already jumped up in the air, and the dagger was drawn out, and the cloth on Deng Lingzi's back was split in two! All the Mohist disciples in the audience exclaimed, "Hey!" Deng Lingzi turned around and threw his sword on the ground, "Okay! It's worthy of my Wu hook!" Obviously he wanted to change weapons and fight again. Qin Huali said seriously: "Junior Brother Deng, what kind of system is it? Is the Mohist a fighting generation?" Qin Xiaogong cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Deng Lingzi and Wu Gou are the only ones in the world, and Ying Quliang won by chance, please forgive me." After finishing speaking, he held the dagger to Xuan Qi, "Little sister, thank you very much." Xuan Qi took the dagger silently, a comfortable smile filled his face. Deng Lingzi's face turned pale and then red, hating himself for underestimating the enemy and being careless for making the Mo family lose face in front of this tyrant. Qin Huali didn't seem to notice it, and was still calm as usual, "Put Xuan Qi down, and I will deal with it after I report to the giant. Qin Gong, please follow me." With a wave of his sleeve, he walked straight into the depths of the castle. The heavy stone gate rumbled shut, and the Mohist castle was submerged in the boundless darkness of Shennong Mountain. In the small bamboo building, old Mozi was fascinated by a large sheepskin book that was worn out, the corners were hairy, the pages were dark yellow, only the writing on it was still clear.The wind lamp flickered, a huge bald head flickered on and off, but the thin and stalwart body remained motionless.This is the habit of old Mozi.Whenever he encounters unexpected confusion, he has to sit all day long, letting his thoughts wander freely in the dark. Deng Lingzi withdrew from Liyang, and immediately reported to his teacher the process of the sudden attack.Three days later, Kuhuo also lost on the Chencang Ancient Road.Old Mozi was amazed, what family in the world would dare to attack the Mohist family?When Ying Quliang was about to be captured, why did rescue arrive?wrong.With his sophisticated insight, old Mozi caught a trace of unusual aura - there must be a very clever opponent planning and deploying here!Otherwise, why would there be an attack as soon as the Mo family attacked in Liyang?And the method is extremely clever, neither confronting the Mohists head-on, but blatantly exposing the Mohism and having to retreat. At the same time, they are alert to another move of the Mohism, and immediately send Jingqi to chase and protect Ying Quliang. out of danger.Such a series of actions in the face of unexpected events is absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary people.In nearly a hundred years of dealings, Lao Mozi has a good understanding of the response capabilities of the princes of various countries and the seven great powers.These princes and generals naturally have many outstanding people, but most of them are helpless or extremely slow in the face of this kind of surprise attack and assassination, which is completely different from the army's campaign.The reason why the Mohists can maintain a strong deterrent force against tyrants and blatantly unjust wars is that this kind of stormy and lightning-like surprise attack makes it impossible for even a powerful country to defend against it.Old Mozi despises the world, princes and generals for a reason, not only because he holds high the banner of justice and heaven, but also because he has never miscalculated, let alone failed.Could it be that God has planted a real opponent for him in Qin?Need him to come out of the mountain in person?Thinking of this, old Mozi suddenly became proud.The silence in the mountains for many years has not extinguished his lofty feelings of living and dying for the world.If a powerful enemy rises, he will stand up without hesitation and lead his disciples to eradicate tyranny.Since Mozi became a famous scholar in the world and established Mohism, he never succumbed to the tyrannical officials because of fear of sacrifice and destruction of the school. Thirty years ago, when the state of Chu was trying to annihilate the state of Song with the power of Gongshu, Mozi not only led three disciples to Yingdu of Chu state, but also fought with Gongshu to convince the king of Chu. strike; and prepared for the worst, sent all 300 disciples to Song to help defend.At that time, if Chu State insisted on sending troops, the entire Mohist forces would definitely be destroyed together with Song State.Old Mozi is very thorough about this point. Since he has provoked the burden of the world, and since he has set up the banner of justice, he cannot tolerate life and be timid. "Walking through the fire and going through the edge, death will never come sooner" - this is the oath that everyone made when they became a Mohist disciple, and it is also the martyr spirit respected by the old Mozi all his life.Going all in for trouble, who else can I have?In front of powerful tyrannical opponents, Lao Mozi has always been majestic. Even so, Lao Mozi never acted recklessly.Before he had figured out his opponent thoroughly, he would never attack lightly. Besides, this was the first time he lost two ways, so how could it not attract his great attention?Contemplating for a long time, he ruled out the possibility of Guiguzi coming out of the mountain himself.He knew Guiguzi well, that old man never bothered to compete with the world for a day's merits, and was ambitious to devote himself to teaching a group of disciples who could turn the world around.Before those disciples came out of the mountain, Guiguzi cherished them in every possible way, lest they might make mistakes before they became pillars, how could these precious future talents be put in danger?And once the disciple comes out of the mountain, the old man Guiguzi will let go forever, never caring about your victory or defeat, honor or disgrace.Therefore, there is no reason for Guiguzi to prevent an assassination. "Guiguzi coming out of the mountain" is like a fool's dream!So, the attacker claimed to be "my door", which door would it be?With the experience of vicissitudes of life of the old Mozi, he was inexplicably puzzled. Could it be that another secret group popped up in the world, and took the opportunity to overwhelm the Mohists as a way to become famous? Old Mozi couldn't help laughing, if that's the case, doesn't this person really underestimate the Mohist? "Teacher, Senior Brother Qin Huali has something to see." The accompanying disciple stood outside the bamboo building. "Come in." Old Mozi was still meditating in front of the lantern. Qin Huali hurried in, bowed respectfully and cupped his hands, "Report to the giant, Xuan Qi returns to the mountain, and the Qin tyrant Ying Quliang came together." "Oh?" Old Mozi didn't move, but he turned around and faced Qin Huali. He was obviously surprised, and his long white eyebrows twitched suddenly, "Ying Quliang, are you here by yourself? people?" "Yes. Alone. Yes, and Xuan Qi." Old Mozi was silent for a while, "How to arrange it?" "Deng Lingzi went to Liyang and his disciples wanted to kill Ying Quliang. The disciples thought it was inappropriate, so they placed him in Keling temporarily, under the care of ten Humen disciples. Please show me how to deal with it." "Deng Lingzi and Ying Quliang didn't compete swords?" "Competition. Deng Lingzi underestimated the enemy and was defeated." "Underestimate the enemy? Do you think so?" Old Mozi raised his long white eyebrows and looked at Qin Huali with sharp eyes. "No. This is what Deng Lingzi said, and it's hard for my disciples to say for sure." "Where's Xuan Qi?" "Junior sister escaped punishment without permission, and the disciple ordered her to be imprisoned in a self-examination cave to reflect on her mistakes, and then ask the master to deal with it." Old Mozi coughed, "Bring Xuan Qi to me immediately. After an hour, the four of you will come too." "Disciple obeys." Qin Huali bowed and left quickly. Old Mozi looked at Qin Huali's back and sighed softly.Qin Huali was his first disciple. He followed Mozi for decades and made countless contributions to the Mohist school. He has already become a world-renowned master, and he has also become the second generation giant of the Mohist school.But old Mozi was always a little uneasy about Qin Huali.He is already in his fifties, but he is always respectful and obedient to Mozi, and he has never argued.Old Mozi knew very well that Qin Huali's nature was resolute and severe, and when he was away from him, he was very assertive and decisive.But because of this, Lao Mozi always felt that Qin Huali might not agree with his decision on many things, but he always obeyed and executed it without hesitation.Old Mozi has worked hard all his life, and his nature is free and easy. He hopes and likes that his disciples have strict discipline, and he also hopes and likes that his disciples show their true colors without any scruples. When they have different opinions, they argue with the teacher. He often says, "Don't argue, don't argue , the way is not obvious." He likes Xuan Qi, because he likes the innocence and liveliness of this female disciple and the courage to seek the truth.She seldom called Mo Zi "Giant Man", and almost always called him "Teacher", and Mo Zi never corrected her.There is also Kuhuo's obstinate argument like a stubborn bull, Deng Lingzi's paranoia and fierceness, Xiang Liqin's generosity and negligence, and Lao Mozi never thinks that he is disobedient.And these, Qin Huali has never, he is always so humble and obedient in front of the old Mozi, without the slightest argument.Old Mozi felt that there was always a vague tension between Qin Huali and several key disciples, but Qin Huali never directly involved it, but intentionally or unintentionally said " Brothers and sisters are young, let them have fun." Is it really an age difference?Old Mozi was really uncertain sometimes.People's hearts are like the sea, vast and vast, can he, old Mozi, see through everything?But the prosperity of the Mo family behind him depends on them... Every time I think of this, Old Mozi feels a little uneasy. "Teacher..." Xuan Qi stood choked up at the door of the bamboo building. "Come in." Old Mozi said with a faint smile: "It's a great achievement to capture Ying Quliang alone, why are there tears?" "Teacher, he is here on his own, and his disciples are just leading the way." "I know." Old Mozi smiled faintly, "Xuan Qi, what do you think of Ying Quliang?" Xuan Qi walked in lightly, and stood with hands down, "Teacher, Ying Quliang, at least he's not a tyrant..." Old Mozi laughed heartily, "Xuan Qi, once you talk about Ying Quliang, you stick to it. Where is your eloquence? Come on, sit down, and tell me carefully, how did Ying Quliang get here?" Xuan Qi couldn't stop the tears from pouring out again, calmed down, and then told the teacher in detail about Chen Canggu's chance encounter and how he came to Shennong Mountain.After hearing this, Old Mozi was silent for a long time, and he didn't speak until Xuan Qi left. In the middle of the night, when Qin Huali and others arrived, Lao Mozi and the four disciples had a secret discussion for an entire hour.
