Chapter 22 Mohist Crisis
Jin Yao sat quietly on the side, half understanding what was said but not moving a muscle. Why did the Mohist school still seem so powerful, in Heguanzi's mouth, it seemed to be in great danger?
"Your teacher didn't tell you why there are only two of you left in the Mo Bian lineage!" Seeing that he couldn't convince Master Xiang, Heguanzi turned to look at Jin Yao.
Jin Yao shook his head. Master Xiang indeed did not tell him why the Mo Bian lineage had become so decimated.
"The Mohist school was too powerful in those days, and was betrayed by the world and the State of Qi! The State of Yan attacked the State of Qi, and the State of Qi requested the Mohist school to send disciples for support. Adhering to the spirit of non-aggression, the Mohists of Jixia School and the disciples came out in full force to defend all the cities for the State of Qi. However, the State of Qi waited until all the Mohists were dead before sending a large army to rescue the cities. As a result, without the help of the Mohists, the battle line of Qi became fragmented, and the country was almost destroyed by Yue Yi." Heguanzi slowly told the secret of the death of the elite Mohist school.
When the State of Yan attacked Qi, King Min of Qi thought that the threat posed by the Mohist lineage was too great, so he asked the Mohist school to help defend the city, but he did not send a large army to assist, which resulted in almost all of the Mohist school's disciples dying. In the end, he reaped the consequences of his own actions, and his country was almost destroyed by Yue Yi.
"Among the countries and schools of thought in the world, no one wants to see a Mohist school that is above the laws of various countries and above the army . Therefore, a huge plan against the Mohists was formulated. It is both a conspiracy and an open plot." Heguanzi sighed.
"Non-attack?" Jin Yao understood.
Mohist disciples adhere to the chivalrous principle of non-aggression and oppose every unjust war. Therefore, in every war among the princes, there are Mohist disciples appearing on the battlefield to guard the city for the defending side.
The result is obvious. Regardless of whether the city was defended or not, the Mohists suffered heavy losses.
However, the Mohists established themselves on chivalry and adhered to the principle of non-aggression. Knowing that they would die, they still marched forward one after another, and eventually fell from power, having once stood above the other princes.
In the war between Yan and Qi, the six kingdoms attacked Qi and directly defeated the Mo Bian lineage, leaving only Xiang Fuzi to support it. Qi also suddenly stopped preparing its military, causing the Mo Bian lineage to lose the ground for survival.
"The Ink from Jixia was just the beginning. Now a bigger conspiracy has also begun." Heguanzi looked at Xiang Fuzi and Jin Yao solemnly.
"Who are you targeting this time?" asked Mr. Xiang with a frown.
"The State of Yan will launch an army of 600,000 to attack Zhao!" said Heguanzi.
Master Xiang sat up immediately and looked at Heguanzi, wondering why they, the Mohist School, had not received any news at all.
Once Yan attacked Zhao, Zhao would be unable to stop the Yan army with its current capabilities. At that time, it was obvious that Deng Lingzi's lineage would definitely come out in full force to defend the city for Zhao.
No matter how powerful Deng Lingzi's lineage is, they will not be able to hold out against an army of 600,000. As a result, Deng Lingzi's lineage will be almost wiped out like Mo Bian's lineage!
"Master Bird, what you said is true!" Mr. Xiang looked at Heguanzi solemnly.
"Do you think this old Taoist priest would joke about such a thing?" He Guanzi asked back.
Master Xiang's breathing became rapid, but he finally sat down again and sighed, "Perhaps this is the fate of the Mohist school."
"You guys!" Heguanzi looked at Master Xiang with disappointment, "Are you Mohists stupid? You still want to go even though you know you will die."
Before he came, he went to look for the Mohist school of Deng Lingzi's lineage and met the current leader of the Mohist school, the Six-Fingered Black Knight. However, the other party was like a stone in the toilet, smelly and hard. His first reaction was not to think about how to lead his disciples to avoid the war, but to order the disciples of the Mohist lineage to assemble and be ready to join the war at any time.
Therefore, Heguanzi hurried to Linzi to find Master Xiang, hoping that Master Xiang could persuade the Xia Mo lineage to stop participating in the wars between the countries.
The result is still the same. The Mohists are unreasonable. They know they will die, but they still participate without hesitation.
The Mohist school helped Qi to defend its country, but who in the world remembers the Mohist school? The Qi State only knew that it was Tian Dan who helped them to restore their country. Who remembers those Mohists who died in the city?
The same will be true for Zhao State in the future. Even if Zhao State holds on, the people of Zhao will only remember the generals of Zhao State, and will not remember the Mohists who bought time for their victory!
"Is the Mohist school still the Mohist school without the doctrine of non-aggression?" Mr. Xiang asked calmly as he looked at the angry Heguanzi.
"It's impossible to convince a bunch of old stubborn people like you. Boy, do you still remember me?" Heguanzi didn't intend to persuade Master Xiang and turned to look at Jin Yao.
"Who are you?" Jin Yao frowned. He only knew that He Guanzi was the head of the Taoist sect, but they had never met before.
"Mountain ghost!" Heguanzi reminded.
"It's you!" Jin Yao reacted instantly and realized that he was a little slow to react. The only people who could transmit sound to himself in the Jixia Academy without being noticed were Heguanzi and the Taoist's long-distance sound transmission.
"You have heard what I just said. Your teachers are all unreasonable, and you don't want to die like a weed. The Taoist Tianren Sect is willing to support you to become a great master of the Mohist School. Even if you nod now, I will kill your teacher and let you take over the Mobian lineage." Heguanzi looked at Jin Yao and said.
Jin Yao looked at his teacher, then looked at Master Xiang, and nodded, "Quick, kill him!"
“???” Master Xiang looked at Jin Yao speechlessly. How long have you been plotting against the Mo Bian lineage? Are you always thinking about usurping the throne?
"..." Heguanzi looked at Jin Yao speechlessly. I was just joking with you, why did you take it seriously?
Jin Yao looked at Heguanzi with disappointment. If the teacher hadn't died, how could I inherit the huge family fortune of the Mo Bian lineage? I was planning to sell Lingxu.
"If you are willing, Taoism is willing to support you to become a great leader of Mohism, on the premise that you want to protect Mohism!" Heguanzi was silent for a moment and then spoke again.
"I want to know why?" Jin Yao looked at Heguanzi. Taoism and Mohism had competed for the position of prominent schools of thought, so why would he be so kind to help Mohism?
"Nonsense, now that Mohism is dead, it's our Taoist turn next. Do you really think I would be so kind as to help you for free?" Heguanzi shook his head, he knew very well that the lips and teeth would be interdependent.
The reason why all the countries in the world could target Mohism was not only because Mohism itself was too powerful, but also because the power of the Hundred Schools of Thought was too great. After the fall of Mohism, Taoism would be able to survive, right?
"I want the Taoist "Sword of Wisdom"!" Jin Yao spoke directly.
"Okay, I'll write it to you now!" Heguanzi decisively took out the Taoist sword technique that Xue Ji had carved on the stone wall in the yard.
Jin Yao looked carefully at the inscription on Heguanzi and comprehended the art of wise swordsmanship, which was similar to the Yu sword that Xiang Fuzi had just given him. Both of them were able to observe all the sword techniques in the world and break all the swords in the world.
The Wisdom Sword is a Taoist skill. It is not a sword technique, but it is also a sword technique. It can see through the operation of all sword techniques in the world. The Yu Sword created for him by Master Xiang is tailor-made for him and can calculate all sword techniques in the world. If the two are combined, they can break all sword techniques in the world.
