"The apprentice understands, Master Xie advises." Zhao Jie suddenly realized. Then, Zhao Jie asked again and again: "So which great sage of the Mo family founded this place, is it Mozi, the ancestor of the Mo family?" ”

The old man shook his head and explained to Zhao Jie earnestly: "Ancestor Master Mo Zhai has been lecturing all his life, and he has not put his ideals into practice. This village is built for the teacher to exhaust his life's efforts, and its management methods are in line with the way of the Mohists. ”

"We've arrived at our destination!" The old man suddenly stopped and said. Zhao Jie looked around and saw that he was on top of a huge square.

"Where is Zhao Mo, a disciple of the Mo family?" A majestic voice suddenly sounded in Zhao Jie's ears. Hearing this, Zhao Jie and the old man both turned their heads to look back, only to see a delicate-looking adult walking towards them.

Zhao Jie looked at his master, his eyes showed an inquiring meaning, and the old man nodded silently. "Under Zhao Mo." Zhao Jie took a step forward and said, "I don't know who you are?" ”

The adult introduced himself in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "In Xia Moli, I am in charge of the entry of the disciples of the Mo family, you can come with me!." Zhao Jie heard the promise and followed Mo Li towards the Mo family ancestral hall at the end of the square.

There are several stone statues standing outside the door of the ancestral hall of the Mo family, all of which are life-size statues of the giants of the Mo family. Through these introductions, Zhao Jie has a general understanding of the inheritance history of the Mo family giants:

The first giant of the Mo family was Mo Zhai, the founder of the Mo family, and it is recorded that when Mozi was a giant son, the Mo family once appeared "one hundred and eighty Mozi servants, all of whom can make them go to the fire, die without returning their heels, and turn into a grand scene". Mozi developed a set of specific, flexible, and need-needed plans and rules for the Mohist organization. Mozi also divided the Mohist disciples according to their abilities, and engaged in three types of positions: debate, storytelling, and engagement. In short, the importance of Mozi to the Mo family is self-evident.

The second giant of the Mo family was poultry slippery 釐 (qíngǔlí), a native of Wei during the Warring States period, and the chief disciple of Mozi, the character Shenzi. He was once a disciple of Confucianism, learned from Zixia, and has been concentrating on ink since he switched to Mozi. As Mozi's beloved disciple, Fowl Slippery won Mozi's trust, and when mediating the dispute between Chu and Song, Fowl Slippery was arranged by Mozi to preside over the garrison in the capital of the Song Kingdom, and it can be said that Mozi completely handed over his back to him. At the same time, he also inherited Mozi's skills very well, whether it was in lecturing, arguing, or guarding the city, he had this extremely excellent performance.

The third giant of the Mo family is Meng Sheng, a native of Chu during the Warring States Period, a personal disciple of the bird slippery, who has the firmest belief in the Mo family thought and the most enthusiastic practice of the Mo family's way. Meng Sheng had a lot of experience in the defense of the city, and his outstanding performance won the praise of his master Bird Slippery, and the pinnacle of his life was that he died in the fiefdom of Yang Chengjun of Chu State with about 180 disciples in order to keep righteousness, and was famous all over the world.

The fourth giant of the Mo family is Tian Xiangzi, a native of Qi during the Warring States Period, Meng Sheng's senior brother, and an excellent disciple of Fowl Slippery, who is the most proficient in conversation and debate. Tian Xiangzi is benevolent, kind-hearted, and cares for his children, and is deeply loved and respected by Mohist believers.

The fifth person of the Mo family is the belly, a native of Qin during the Warring States Period, Tian Xiangzi found a great talent among the children of the Mo family, and is the best at governing the country, and is known for being strict and rigid. When Qin Huiwen was king, the abdomen? The son of the murderer, King Qin Huiwen felt that he was lonely and old, and pardoned his son to support him, belly? Ignoring the orders of King Qin Huiwen, he killed his relatives in righteousness, and finally killed his son with the method of the Mo family. Belly? When he was a giant son, he made the most far-reaching decision in the history of the development of the Mo family - to lead the children of the Mo family to the west into the Zeng Qin State.

The sixth giant of the Mo family is Jiang Cheng, a native of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in the Warring States Period, belly? A disciple of the Mo family who picked it up with one hand. Jiang Cheng is Zhao Jie's master, the respected old man.

Walking slowly past the stone statue, Zhao Jie followed Mo Li into a spacious house. A high platform in the house was filled with one spiritual position after another.

"These are the spiritual seats of the martyrs of my Mo family for generations." Mo Li waved his hand from right to left, and said: "You can pay your respects and feel their righteousness. ”

Zhao Jiewen said that he had promised, walked back and forth from right to left, and finally returned to Mo Li's side to listen to the instructions.

"The sages of the Mo family are above, and the Mo family will learn from Zhao Mo to bow down." Mo Li's majestic voice reached Zhao Jie's ears, and Zhao Jie hurriedly followed the order.

After bowing, Mo Li lit a note with Zhao Jie's name on it and burned it, and at the same time, the old man happened to enter the ancestral hall.

"Brother Moli, is it done?" The old man stepped forward and asked in a whisper, his tone amiable.

Mo Li didn't speak, just nodded, signaling that it was done. So, so far, Zhao Jie has become a real child of the Mo family, but at this moment, Zhao Jie, who does not know the truth, is still ignorant.

"Boy, get up." The old man summoned Zhao Jie, who was kneeling, and then continued: "Let's go!" As soon as he walked out of the door, the old man seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head and asked loudly, "Brother Moli, how have you completed the arrangements for the Mo family conference?" ”

"I'll do it, don't worry. I promise to prepare such a grand event on time and quality, and I will not let those people laugh at us. ”

When the old man heard this, he thanked him: "Brother, thank you, go and get busy, I won't delay your time, I will definitely invite you to drink on the other day!" ”

"What you said, don't lie to me, I'm waiting for you!" Mo Li laughed when he heard this, and said with joy.

"Master, who are they in Mr. Moli's mouth! What kind of power do they have to make you scruple about it! After leaving the square, Zhao Jie suddenly asked suspiciously: "I heard that the status of the Mo family giant in the Mo family is extraordinary, almost like a saint, isn't it?" ”

The old man sighed deeply when he heard this, and then stopped: "This matter is a long story, I will tell you in detail later!" ”

The old man paused, sighed deeply again, and said again: "It's better to tell you now, after all, knowing yourself and knowing your opponent is the only way to win a hundred battles!" You are likely to be troubled by them at the Mohist Conference, and having a mental preparation in advance will be quite beneficial to your on-the-spot performance, at least you can make some preparations in advance. ”
