Chapter 9: The Rite of Succession
On the pier, he was the first person, with a steady face, a ruler-long white beard, and a crane hair and a childish face. This person is the most prestigious person in the Mo family today, called Shi Qingmu, who is a hundred years old, but his body is very strong, and there are no wrinkles on his face, which shows that he has achieved cultivation.
"Huo Shu, a disciple of the Mo family, has seen a giant!" Shi Qingmu took the lead and said. Fire tree is the word of Shi Qingmu, but this word is a bit special, generally speaking, the meaning of the word is similar to the name, and there are few opposite meanings.
Afterwards, the Mo family disciples beside him also respectfully saluted Chu Tianshu.
Chu Tianshu was very nervous in his heart, although he was already a giant, it was the first time he had encountered such a scene. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary office worker, but he didn't expect that in this life, he would have an adventure and become a giant of the Mo family.
Generally speaking, as a giant of the Mo family, he is the leader of a force with a noble status. However, the Mo family is not necessarily very noble, because leaders are generally the first to take the lead and take the lead in everything they do.
This is the reason why the disciples of the Mo family can unswervingly believe in their hearts.
Shi Qingmu was one of the principals who led the children of the Mo family to build the Organ Island in the early Han Dynasty, and now he has become the Great Elder of the Mo Family Organ Island.
Along the way, Yi Chaodong explained to Chu Tianshu.
The current principal of Mojia Organ Island, because of the lack of the existence of the central character Giant, has gradually become led by the elder group. There are a total of thirteen elders in the elder group, among which the Great Elder Shi Qingmu is the main one, but the Mo family's elder group is not corrupt, and there is no struggle for power and profit.
Everyone has a common goal, that is, to wait for the new giant of the Mo family to appear, and then assist him in his growth. Lead the Mo family to shine brilliantly.
Chu Tianshu was very embarrassed, but he still spoke:
"Elders, don't be so polite, Tianshu is not used to it!" Chu Tianshu still admires the Mo family, which is a group of grassroots forces. Everyone's identity was once not prominent, they were all ordinary existences, but because of the emergence of the Mo family, one by one the grassroots began to counterattack, and the status was no worse than that of the children of those families.
The Mohist ideology is dedicated to the people and has never changed its original intention. It is also because its own interests revolve around the toiling masses, so it is not liked by the rulers.
The ruler is the victor who changes the dynasty, even if the original status is low, it will change because he becomes the ruler. Because of the change of his identity, the initial thoughts in his heart will also change.
The so-called family is just a family whose status is higher than everyone else and is more prominent. Because of the breeding of power, the ruler himself will become an existence above the family.
But the ruler is not omnipotent, so he needs to rely on the family to maintain his dominance, so the position of the Mo family is embarrassing.
So much so that the Mohists never really became an existence that influenced a reigning period.
Legalism, Taoism, and Confucianism all influenced one or several periods in history, and even the Buddhists who later poured into Middle-earth also had extraordinary influence.
Let's not talk about these things first, at this time, Chu Tianshu has been led into Mocheng by the elders led by Shi Qingmu.
The gate of Mocheng is thirty zhang high, and the momentum is very magnificent. On both sides is the city wall, there is also a height of twenty zhang, the city wall is a square arrow battlement, and there are Mo family disciples standing guard, ten steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, although there have been few crises over the years, but none of them dare to be sloppy, they are always fulfilling their duties.
They all understand that the more they do not encounter a crisis, the more vigilant they must be.
Entering the city, the ground is paved with black stone slabs, which are very neat, and there are residential houses on both sides, the houses are three-storey buildings, which are very neat and uniform, and the white walls and black tiles are simple and simple.
Along the way, Shi Qingmu introduced:
"Giant, Mojia Organ Island has a history of more than 60 years, and Mocheng has taken more than 30 years to complete it before it has today's momentum! Mocheng can also be called the organ city, since its completion, it has undergone hundreds of transformations, large and small, and the organs of the whole city are everywhere, but they are all controlled by the organ center in the ink palace, and they are not opened in their spare time, and the ink city is no different from the ordinary city! In wartime, as long as the center of the mechanism is opened, then Mocheng will become a terrifying fortress, and the underground tunnels of Mocheng are vertical and horizontal, forming a labyrinth, only a few people know the exact route, as long as the giant goes through the inauguration ceremony, the old man will tell each other one by one! Then he continued.
"Mocheng is three miles long, built by the mountain, the Mogong is located in the center of the city on the Mofeng, Mofeng is the only peak on the island, about 100 zhang high, there is a strange cave on the peak, after transformation, it has been connected with the Mocheng tunnel!"
Hearing this, Chu Tianshu looked up at the mountain peak in front of him, at first he was too cramped and had no idea, but now when he heard the words of the Great Elder, he found that there was such a mountain peak in the city.
I was very surprised how the Mo family built such a huge city, as far as it seems now, there are not many disciples of the Mo family.
But soon, Chu Tianshu was relieved.
I saw Shi Qingmu continue:
"The children of the Mo family have gone through decades of recuperation, and now there are a total of 12,347 people. Speaking of which, Juzi would definitely wonder why there were so few children of the Mo family back then, why could they still build such a city? Speaking of this, he looked at Chu Tianshu with a smile.
Chu Tianshu nodded and said:
"I'm really confused, please ask the Great Elder to clear my doubts!" Chu Tianshu's attitude was very respectful, and he was not arrogant because he had the status of a giant.
"Huh! The Mo family's most powerful thing has always been is not force, but ......" Speaking of this, Shi Qingmu pointed to his head.
Seeing this, Chu Tian was relieved.
The Mo family has always been a person with extraordinary wisdom. Moreover, the Mo family is very proficient in strange and obscene techniques, so they are good at manufacturing all kinds of large equipment, whether military or civilian, they can be manufactured. Even not lost to the carpenter ancestor of the public loss class, thinking that back then, Mozi, the sage of the Mo family, argued with the public loss class, and with his own knowledge, the public loss class had no way to start, thus stopping a war.
Because of this, the Mo family and the Gongyi family have become feuds.
Let's not talk about these for the time being, but I'll come back one by one later.
Subsequently, Shi Qingmu said with a smile:
"The strongest thing in the Mo family is the trick, and the puppet is the best labor force, tireless, much stronger than manpower! That's why we have today's Ink City! ”
Along the way, Chu Tianshu was just a listener, listening and listening, Chu Tianshu admired the Mo family more and more in his heart, and gradually integrated himself into the role of the giant.
He Chu Tianshu is a member of the Mo family, and the current achievements of the Mo family need to be maintained by him, and the Mo family cannot be wiped out in the world. The Mo family needs to bloom its own glory, and the Mo family is not inferior to the rest of the families.
Chu Tianshu, who came from later generations, understands that most of the Mo family are technical nerds, and they all have the idea of benefiting the people of Li in their hearts, and they have no selfishness.
If you want to talk about selfishness, maybe there are, that is, to let the Mo family live for a hundred years and not be forgotten by the world.
Gradually, everyone came to the foot of Mofeng, Mofeng has a ladder of stone steps from the bottom to the top, twisting and winding, a total of 1,251 steps, each step is about one foot high. This information was all explained by Shi Qingmu to Chu Tianshu.
Slowly stepping on the stone steps, Chu Tianshu had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
Some images come to mind that are the scenes of the construction of this place. Puppets and beasts are innumerable, all the time, day and night, all the time and night, all the time and night, are building here.
Gradually, Chu Tianshu stopped and began to sense the picture in his mind.
Shi Qingmu saw Chu Tianshu's situation and immediately showed a smile.
"That's right, it's just a few steps away, and you can communicate with the ancestors of the Mo family in the Thousand Steps Illusion Realm! "Mozi Book of Heaven" really didn't choose the wrong person! Then the inauguration ceremony begins now! As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly in the originally closed house, people in black robes walked out one after another, men, women and children abounded.
Gradually, in front of the stone steps of Mofeng, there were all dense people.
These people are all children of the Mo family, or they are descendants. There were no less than 10,000 people, but the people on the city walls did not move, because they were all humanoid puppets, but they wore human skin masks, so they looked like real people.
"The sky is above, and the ink lord has a spirit! Have mercy on my Mo family, and name the Lord! I, Shi Qingmu, swear here, with my crippled body, protect my master, the ink lord is virtuous, and the giant is effective! For the rest of my life, defend my Mo family! Shi Qingmu stretched out his arms to the sky and shouted loudly.
"I, Ye Ruyi, swear by here......"
"I, Captain Chi Baijing, swear ...... here"
…………
Gradually, one by one, the Great Elder Shi Qingmu shouted slogans, and each one looked very excited.
Their belief in the Mo family is very crazy, everyone's heart is so firm, and the belief of the Mo family is deep-rooted.
And Chu Tianshu didn't see all this, because he had already entered an illusion and felt the bits and pieces of the Mo family's history, because this was a inheritance ceremony, strange and weird.
Just when everyone's voice reached its highest, on the square on the side, the huge statue of Mozi erected suddenly gushed out a burst of black light, and then condensed on the eyebrows of the statue of Mozi, and then flew towards Chu Tianshu, enveloping Chu Tianshu.
"The legacy begins! The Mo master has a spirit, bless my Mo family! After speaking, Shi Qingmu knelt on the ground, and everyone else was the same.
Very respectful.
They have waited for decades, and today they can finally continue to pass on the knowledge of the Mohists.
After the changes of the war, many classics of the Mo family have disappeared, especially the previous generation of giant Tian Heng, who was not fully prepared at all, so he killed himself.
Although the Mojia mechanism technology was retained and not lost, the exercises were incomplete, so the Mojia could only lie dormant and wait. Although there is a transmission of exercises in the Book of Mozi Heaven, only the selected giants are qualified to practice, and no one else can see anything.
At this time, Chu Tianshu only felt that he had a lot of things in his mind, one by one of the exercises, and a set of martial arts, all of which were memorized.
There are also classic masterpieces of the Mo family, which are in the world, or not obvious, all of them, especially the "Secret Record of the Organ", I looked at it curiously, but found that it actually contained the production method of the mysterious mechanism beast.
Mysterious Trap Beasts, in layman's terms, are types of puppets that have some special abilities. Such as breathing fire, flying, controlling thunder and lightning, and so on.
It can be said that the puppets in it are all existences with explosive combat power.
