That Mozi was still thinking about whether to tell Huanglong something again, so he felt a rumbling sound in his ears, and carefully searched for the source of the sound, and saw that Huanglong's abdomen was agitated, and then there was a rumbling sound, but this time there was a change, and the rumbling sound was like the word "master" when carefully distinguished.

"Huang Long, are you talking? Are you calling Master? Mozi asked uncertainly.

"Yes!" Like the thunder of the Nine Heavens, Huang Long shook his head.

"Haha, I can't imagine that the Yellow Dragon apprentice is so smart, you say it a few more times, practice makes perfect." Mozi encouraged.

"Yes, Master, I'm so happy." That Huang Long slowly adjusted his peritoneum, and slowly said these words, although it was not very clear, but it could still be distinguished by careful identification.

When Mozi heard this, tears of joy fell. Slowly communicating with Huang Long, starting with simple words, this hour has passed like this.

Suddenly, a gust of wind rose, and Mozi realized that he didn't know how long had passed, so he said to Huang Long: "It's time to leave for the teacher, otherwise your senior brother will be in a hurry." ”

As soon as Huang Long heard this, his eyes were full of reluctance, and after thinking about it, a few bytes came out of his abdomen: "Master, take care!" ”

Looking at Huang Long again with relief, Mozi reached out and stroked his head before turning to leave.

"Master, take care!" After a few steps, the voice of Huang Long came from behind him again.

Mozi turned to look at Huang Long and waved his hand: "Take care too!" Then he turned around and didn't look back and left.

The yellow dragon didn't see the figure of the master until he rumbled: "Master, I will work hard!" Then a few circles in the air, plunged headlong into the water, made a splash and disappeared.

Yu Huali helped Gao He and County Zishuo to wait for the master under a big tree, but they couldn't wait for the master to come back, and they didn't know what happened to the master, and there were two unconscious junior brothers around him, and it was not easy for him to leave.

"Master, what's going on?" Poultry Slippery asked with concern.

Mozi smiled: "It's nothing, it's a good thing, you will know in the future, wake them up, and we should also hurry." After saying that, he pressed the back of Gao He and Xian Zishuo's necks, and the two of them shook their heads and asked dizzily, "Oh, what happened, why did I faint?" ”

"The river was too fierce just now, and I was afraid that the two of you would faint, so I fainted you, and now it's okay, I've crossed the river." Mozi made up a white lie.

"Huh? We crossed the river before we knew it, hehe, thank you Master, we were too timid, let Master laugh! Gao He and County Zishuo said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, it's not early, let's continue on our way, the next stop is Zhongmuyi." Mozi said on his lips, but he also thought in his heart that he would have to explain this matter to them in the future, so as not to cause estrangement.

Zhongmu City, (now Hebishan City, Henan) is about 100 miles away from Puyang City (now Puyang County, Puyang City). As long as you cross the river moat, the rest of the road is easy to walk.

Along the way, in order to add a little fun and popularize knowledge to his disciples, Mozi told the past of Zhongmu City.

In this Muyi, the city is not big, but the terrain is dangerous, and it has always been a place for soldiers to fight. This place originally belonged to Qi, but it was a city built by the Duke of Qi Huan in Beirong Di when he invaded the land of China, that is, in 659 BC, in order to defend the Chinese countries. There is a record in the "Guanzi": Qi Huan Gong built Wulu, Zhongmu, Ye, Gai, and Muqiu to defend the land of Zhuxia, so he advised China also. Zhongmu was successively occupied by Qi, Jin, Zheng, Lu, Wei and other countries. Back then, Jin Pinggong once commented on Zhongmu City, saying: "Zhongmu, the humerus of the Jin Kingdom, the shoulder of Handan." ”

In that year, after the death of Zhao Jianzi, before the burial, the Zhongmu Shou general defected to the Qi State, Zhao Wuxian after taking care of his father's funeral, he attacked Zhongmu, when the soldiers went to the city, Zhao Wuxian gave an order, surrounded Zhongmu, and before the siege was closed, the wall of Zhongmu collapsed by itself for some reason. When Zhao Wuxian saw it, he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. His subordinate doctor advised: "You personally led the soldiers and horses to conquer the crime of the general, and the wall collapsed by itself, which shows that the heavens are helping us to crusade against this intolerable sinner, why do you still withdraw your troops?" Zhao Wuxian replied: "I once heard Uncle Xiang say, 'A gentleman should not bully others in his own favorable situation, and a gentleman should not persecute others when they are in danger. 'So, let them repair the walls and we'll start attacking again.' Such benevolent words inevitably did not spread to Zhongmu City, and the officers and soldiers defending the city deeply felt Zhao Wuxian's benevolence and righteousness, so they returned without a fight.

After telling this story, Mozi commented on it: "What Zhao Wuxian did was a benevolent and righteous act, and it was also a matter of respecting the other party's soldiers who defended the city, and did not bully the weak." In the final analysis, this is the breadth of the river, the heart of the tolerant people, the tolerant of people, the love, and the love of the deeds, then the soldiers who defend the city also obey their love, and they have the merit of recovering the city without a fight. If it is not this, but the order to take the opportunity to attack the city, the soldiers defending the city will fight to the death in order to survive, and then there will be casualties on both sides, even if the city is recovered, the city is also a city destroyed by war, and I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be wasted to repair it. Do you think so? ”

After hearing this, Na Gao He replied: "What Master said is very reasonable, just like Na Ah Cheng Yi Zai, if he can have Zhao Wuxian's benevolence and righteousness, know how to love and love, how could my parents die due to the war." ”

"It is precisely that Nayi Zai was so unkind, and later he was punished by heaven and died in the war." The county is a big road.

The fowl did not speak immediately, but pondered for a while before speaking: "It is very easy for a person to be occasionally benevolent and righteous, and occasionally to love, but the difficult thing is to be like this for a long time. ”

Mozi turned his head to look at Gao He and Xian Zishuo, and asked with a smile: "What do you two think your senior brother said?" ”

"It shouldn't be difficult, right, it should be easy to insist on benevolence and righteousness, right?" Xian Zishuo thought for a while and said, "Isn't it good to say that people's hearts are kind?" ”

"What about you, Gao He?"

Hearing the master ask himself, Gao He thought about it, scratched his head and replied: "I can't think of any difficulty in this, just like me and Senior Brother Zishuo, we didn't go with the master, but in the evil township, we saw the master, and it was just a moment to decide to change the past, this should also be good, if it is according to the senior brother's words, then we can't stick to it?" ”

"Excellent! You can think of yourself through this, which shows that you have real thinking. Under certain conditions, people's thinking is different. If everyone knows to persist in goodness, then there will be no conquest and killing in this world. Zhao Jianzi, the father of Zhao Wuxian, is also a promising person, good at accepting wise men, and very virtuous, but because of the things of the Handan people, he caused murder and produced a melee between the six Qings, can you still see benevolence and righteousness here? When it comes to persistence, it is not so easy, any thing and a kind of action, if you can persist for a long time, you will be able to achieve great achievements, especially some good behavior and morality. Just like the hardships and simplicity of our ordinary people, many people can't persevere. When a person has been well fed and clothed for a long time, wrapped in wine and meat, if he suddenly eats the grain of wild vegetables, bitter gourd, and dregs, do you think he can eat it? Even you and I are average. This is easy to go from simple to luxurious, and difficult to simple from luxury. There is nothing wrong with the nature of the human heart to enjoy, power, and wealth, but it needs to be obtained by legitimate means. Mozi gave a certain explanation.

Gao He and Xian Zishuo understood a little and nodded.

"Okay, let's speed up our pace, we will rest for a day in Zhongmu City, and the next stop is Chaoge, these two cities have many mountain roads, so we must be mentally prepared."

Taihang Mountain, the roof of the world, more than 2,000 miles from north to south, from Wangwu Mountain in the south, Zhongtiao Mountain in the south, to the West Mountain in the north, from Chaoge and Handan in the east, to Jinyang and Jiangdu in the west, the earth's crust movement, millions of years of ice and snow erosion, coupled with its original sandstone mountain, make the Taihang Mountain everywhere you can see the huge vertical wall and unfathomable steep canyon. There are mountains and valleys, there must be river impact, and the river impact will form fertile land, and the Chinese civilization is rooted in these fertile land. These cities are constantly diffracted to form many important towns, which are connected from north to south like a necklace of shells.

This Taihang Mountain is north-south, but it leaves some places where the mountain range is interrupted, forming a horizontal valley, which is convenient for people in the world to travel. This has a total of eight horizontal valleys, the world calls it eight, from north to south in turn for the military capital of the army, the flying fox, Puyin, the well, the mouth, the white, the Taihang, the Yiguan and so on, the ancient name is the Taihang eight, it is the eight throat passages that cross the Taihang Mountain, and it is also the place where the important military pass is.

This first is the Yiguan Dynasty, which is the main road connecting the Jin and other vassal states to the capital Luoyi. It starts from Jiangdu (now Houma) in the west and South Tieling Pass, passes through Wangyuan (now Yuanqu) in the middle, and reaches Yiyi (now Jiyuan Dongyi Town) in the east.

The second is Taihang, which starts from Hyun (now Jincheng) in the northwest and reaches about 30 miles northwest of Yewangyi (now Qinyang) in the southeast. It is three steps wide and forty miles long, so that you can go straight to the Tiger Prison Pass from the south.

The third Baicheng is connected with the fourth Shenfukou, from the Nanguan Mountain of Taihang Mountain in Chaoge (now Huixian County, Henan Province), connecting the Ma Pimple Dang Grand Canyon into a whirlwind shape to Ye County (now Linzhang), the whole journey is more than 100 kilometers, and the width is two meters. Occupy this place to the south to cross the river (now the Yellow River) to attack Kaifeng, the east can attack Yanghu (now Hebei Daimyo), the north can peep into Dangyin (now Anyang), Handan, is a military important place that can be attacked, retreated and defended.

The fifth, Jingcheng, also known as Tumen Pass, starts from Jinyang (now Taiyuan) in the west, crosses Yangquan in the middle, and reaches Jingcheng in the east.

The sixth 陉, Puyin 陉, later generations called Bauhinia Pass, northwest from the city of Daicheng (now Lingqiu), southeast to Shunping.

Seventh, the Flying Fox started from Xiong County (now Yi County, Hebei) in the east to Ulzhou (now Wei County, Zhangjiakou, Hebei) in the north. Standing on the flying fox, choking the back, entering the secluded and swallow, the most victorious place.

The eighth, the military capital, is Juyong Pass, the west of Yanzhou (now Zhangjiakou Huailai) to the east of the lower mouth (now Beijing Changping South Exit) is the throat of the Yan into the Jin Dynasty.

If you want to go from Zhongmu to Najiangdu, you need to follow the foot of Taihang, take Chaoge (now Hebi Qi County, Henan Province), Ningyi (now Jiaozuo Xiuwu County, Henan), Yewang (now Qinyang), Quyang (now Quyang, Hebei), Wangyuan (now Yuanqu), and finally arrive at Jiangdu (now Houma), along the north bank of the river, and go to Yiguan. There may be other ways to go, but those who are not very familiar with it should not go.

Chaoge (now Hebi Qi County, Henan), the capital of the Shang Dynasty, there was "50 miles of night strings of Chaoge, 800 princes Chaoling Mountain", this Chaoge is located on the edge of Taihang Mountain, there is Qishui in the east as a dangerous obstacle, there is Taihang Mountain as a barrier in the west, and there are three city walls in the north and south of its city respectively. Even so, it failed to resist the demise of the king of Shang. The loss of power of the king of Zhou caused his aunt and cousin Ji Fa to raise troops, and that Zhou Wu Wang raised troops to attack Zhou, and after the defeat of the king of Zhou, the army withdrew from Lutai and died. After King Wu conquered the merchants, the soldiers arrived at Chaoge and moved Jiuding to Chaoge.

This from Zhongmu to Chaoge, the road in and out is through the mountains, the road is rugged, the rain that has fallen for several days, gathered together to form a waterfall, some areas even formed a landslide, boulders and trees cross the road, snakes and frogs and other small animals are also washed out of the road.

Since it is the ancient capital of Wangcheng, Mozi also told his disciples about some of the deeds of this dynasty.

"This Shang Emperor Xin is originally a gifted and intelligent person, eloquent and responsive, very receptive, and powerful, able to fight with fierce beasts with bare hands, and his martial arts cultivation has reached the realm of earth immortals, which is very rare among kings. Because of his high wisdom, he can refuse the advice of his subordinates, and his eloquence is good enough to cover up his mistakes. He boasted in front of the ministers by his talents, and exalted himself everywhere by his prestige, believing that all the people in the world were inferior to him. The early king of Xu, in order to determine the world, went around to conquer Diyi, but he was also a Ming monarch, but later became famous, he began to prostitute himself, far virtuous ministers, near villains, day and night, wine and meat in the world, and finally perished. When Mozi talked about this, he couldn't help but feel very sad, after all, he was also the queen of Yin Shang.

Entering the city, I visited the Shang Dynasty Qianku Lutai, and I couldn't help but think of my ancestors and the sages of the time.
