Chapter 58: Mohist Mechanical City
"Command!" Suzaku stopped in front of a dangerous peak, and a call came from the top of the peak.
"Be one with the world!" The voice came from the mountain again.
Jin Yao also saw the cold light faintly visible on the dangerous peak.
"That is the first level of the Mohist headquarters. Yang Zhu, if you can't answer the command, thousands of arrows will be fired. Even a master will be killed!" The six-fingered black hero explained.
"Then why is it a Taoist password?" Jin Yao was curious. "Harmonizing with the Light and Being Dust" is a Taoist practice and also a Taoist scripture, so why did it become a Mohist password?
"Know the black and guard the white!" The six-fingered black hero shouted in response to the command.
Jin Yao looked at the Six-Fingered Black Knight and understood why it was a Taoist password. If he was not a disciple of the Mohist school, it would be impossible for him to know that the Taoist's "Harmony with the Light and Dust" corresponds to the Mohist's "Knowing the Black and Guarding the White".
"Pass!" A voice came back from the dangerous peak, and then a huge rock on the dangerous peak was seen rising slowly, revealing a huge hole.
Under the control of his disciples, Suzaku flew onto a platform at the mouth of the dangerous peak.
Jin Yao looked around carefully and found that the platform was very wide, with no less than ten Suzaku planes parked on it, like an airport hidden in the mountains.
"Master!" When the Mohist disciples who were guarding the mountain saw that it was the Six-Fingered Black Knight who came back, they all came forward to greet him.
"Yeah!" The Six-Fingered Black Knight nodded slightly, and continued to take Jin Yao across the tarmac and walked into a black and white corridor that was the same as the Mobian Secret Realm.
However, at the end of the corridor is a cliff, with white clouds floating at feet, and you can't see the opposite side clearly. There are cliffs all around.
"Command!" A shout came again from the foggy clouds.
"Keep your family safe!"
"Love the world!"
There was a question and an answer, and then Jin Yao heard the "click-click" sound of gears turning coming from the clouds opposite. A moment later, a wooden trestle bridge extended towards the cliff where he was, section by section, and finally stopped at their feet.
"This is the second level of Mohism, called Non-Confucianism!" Six-Fingered Black Knight explained.
"Taoism, Confucianism!" Jin Yao understood a little. The first hurdle was the dispute between Mohism and Taoism, and the second hurdle was the dispute between Mohism and Confucianism.
"Master!" On the Cloud Bridge, a disciple of the Mohist School walked out, and two of them, almost ten feet apart, were guarding with swords.
The six-fingered black hero nodded again and continued to move forward with Jin Yao. After crossing the cloud bridge, the view suddenly became clear. The mountains were all red, the forests were all dyed red, the houses were hidden among them, and the Mohist disciples were coming and going among them. It was really like a paradise.
"Password!" Yang Lou, one of the Mohist leaders whom Jin Yao had seen before, appeared on the arrow tower. A huge crossbow and wooden boards appeared on the wall of the village, and there were densely packed holes in the middle of the wooden boards.
"That is the last defense of the Mohist school, named Wu Ju. It can shoot down 30,000 arrows in one breath. As long as there are enough arrows, it will not stop, and no one can get close to it!" The Six-Fingered Black Knight explained when he saw that Jin Yao was interested in the wooden boards.
Jin Yao's scalp tingled. Isn't this just a modified version of Gatling? Who can move forward under so many arrows? Even a master can't stop those crossbows and who knows how many powerful crossbows there are.
“But do good things!”
"Don't ask about the future!"
After hearing the slogan , Yang Lou on the arrow tower waved the flag and ordered the disciples at the gate to open the tower.
"The last level is called Chivalry. There will be a commander-level master on duty at all times. Even if an acquaintance comes, he must respond to the slogans, otherwise he will be mercilessly treated!" The Six-Fingered Black Knight finally brought Jin Yao into the Mo family's mechanical city.
Looking at the extremely spacious Mohist headquarters, Jin Yao was not thinking about the Mohist magic, but instead looked at the six-fingered black hero, "How much material did our ancestors cheat the Qin State of back then!"
"..." Six-Fingered Black Knight was silent. This was a good question. He really wanted to know it too.
"Probably, possibly, about enough, probably enough for half of Xianyang!" Six-fingered Black Knight said uncertainly. This was the approximate result obtained by the Mohist disciples after he took over the Mohist school.
"I seriously doubt that Shang Jun can't do arithmetic!" Jin Yao hesitated for a long time before speaking.
If Shang Yang and the State of Qin knew that the Mohists had reported half more money for the construction of Xianyang in order to build the Mechanical City, they would probably strangle the Mohists to death.
"Actually, it's not that bad. I've checked the notes of the ancestors of the Mohist school. When Shang Jun hid his soldiers in the Shangyu Mountains for training, Xiangli Zi ordered the Qin army to chisel rocks and cut down trees to achieve the training effect. All those chiseled rocks and trees were sent to the headquarters!" said the Six-Fingered Black Knight.
"There really is no waste at all!" Jin Yao has a deeper understanding of the first level of Mohist philosophy - economy. It would be meaningless if you can't fleece the sheep until they are bald.
Looking at the internal energy floating in Jin Yao's body, the Six-Fingered Black Knight was stunned for a moment. He could feel that Jin Yao was reshaping the first level of Mohist mentality, and had refined his internal energy to an outrageous level.
"Freak!" The Six-Fingered Black Knight was shocked. Now the solidity of Jin Yao's internal strength has surpassed that of him, the master. Every strand of internal energy is condensing towards the direction of gold and stone.
Yang Lou on the arrow tower also saw Jin Yao's change, and hurriedly waved the flag, ordering the surrounding Mohist disciples to send a team to guard.
“He made a breakthrough as soon as he entered the door. The Mo Bian lineage is about to produce a dragon!” Yang Lou exclaimed with a smile.
An hour later, Jin Yao opened his eyes again, and his internal strength was re-tempered during this hour.
"Why are you only at the first level?" Six-fingered Black Knight looked at Jin Yao with some confusion.
He could feel that Jin Yao's internal strength was powerful and strong, definitely reaching the grandmaster level, but it seemed that Jin Yao could only control the first level now.
"The teacher was afraid that I couldn't control such powerful internal energy, so he sealed my cultivation. Now Yao has only unlocked the fifth level!" Jin Yao did not hide the truth from the Six-Fingered Black Knight.
The Six-Fingered Black Knight nodded. At the age of thirteen, he had reached the fifth level of Mozi's mental method, which was not low. Moreover, this was the result of being sealed.
It can be imagined that with the full training from the headquarters, by the time Jin Yao reaches the seventh level, even a sect leader-level master may not be his match.
"The Debate Pavilion has always been the residence of the leader of the Mo Bian lineage in the main hospital. Now that you are the leader of the Mo Bian lineage, it will be you who will reopen the Debate Pavilion!" said the Six-Fingered Black Knight, and then called a disciple to take Jin Yao to the Debate Pavilion in the Mo family's mechanical city.
Jin Yao nodded, knowing that the Six-Fingered Black Knight must have things to do after just returning, so he separated from the Six-Fingered Black Knight and, under the guidance of his disciples, went to one of the three giant peaks of the Mohist headquarters, the mountain on the right.
Walking up the mountain path, Jin Yao discovered that even though the Mo Bian lineage had not returned for a long time, there were still disciples living on this mountain, and it was kept exceptionally clean.
Combined with what Master Xiang said, that each branch of the Mohist school is actually secretly cultivating theoretical disciples, that is, Mohist debate disciples, Jin Yao can understand why there are disciples living in the Debate Pavilion and why it is kept so clean.
