Xu Piaomiao continued to walk in front, and the group walked along the lake. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

When they first entered the mysterious Mojia sect, everyone seemed to be in high spirits, looking around as they walked.

Hundreds of years ago, the Mohist family was a prominent scholar in the world, and the important sect was also founded in the Warring States period and is still used today. This sect, which has been inherited for hundreds of years and was once prominent, has the biggest impression of "frugality" within the sect.

From the beginning of the valley to the present, there is no high-rise compound, only scattered and clean thatched houses.

The patches of farmland reclaimed around the thatched cottage show that the ink masters in the sect have a tradition of self-cultivation and self-consumption. The Mohist sect is hidden in the mountains, and it is inconvenient to communicate with the outside world, which objectively forces the Mohists to do it themselves and solve the problem of eating. However, the ancestors of the Mo family must have known that there would be these difficulties when they chose the sect here, but they still did not have the idea of changing the mountain gate, which is really strange.

Bird Di clears everyone's doubts.

"There are two reasons why the ancestors established the sect here."

"One, safety."

"The Mo family provides both love and non-attack, and there have been Mo disciples who have walked the world with swords throughout the ages, fighting injustices, preventing the strong from bullying the weak, and even directly participating in the war of the nations to help the weak resist the unjust war of the powerful country. Most of the names of the Mo family who are good at guarding the city were spread during the Warring States Period, and they are the glory earned by the ancestors of the Mo family in the past dynasties with blood and life for the sect, and they are an example for future generations of disciples to follow. ”

"However, not everyone agrees with the ideals of the Mohists, and we advocate the protection of the weak and offend many powerful forces. The Mo family is not afraid of being convicted of kindness, and the ancestors are not afraid of sacrificing their lives, but when they chose to create a major place for the sect, they had to avoid those forces hostile to the Mo family as much as possible, so they simply set the sect in the deserted mountains, and invited the formation master to help cover it up with a phantom array, in the hope that the sect would not be poisoned. ”

"In the process of Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms, many Mo disciples died in battle to help the Shandong countries resist the strong Qin, and later the world was unified, and there was no weak country that needed the help of the Mo, and the Moshi was once confused. After the unification of the world, Qin Jun once sent people to recruit ink scholars to work for him, but because many ink people died to resist Qin, and Mo people did not agree with some of Qin's practices, they refused to recruit and continued to live in seclusion. ”

"Qin II died, Chu and Han contended, Han Dynasty Qin and stand, when Chu was strong and Han was weak, there were also ink people born to help Han, and the overlord of Chu returned to hide after killing Wujiang. At that time, the ancestors of the sect intended to set up another sect, but there was no result of the discussion, and soon Emperor Wu deposed the hundred schools, respected Confucianism, and established another sect again, until now. ”

"At that time, the ancestors discussed the establishment of another sect, and the reason why they could not dispute was only for the second reason: the door style."

"Most of the ink scholars come from the lower strata of society, uphold the purpose of 'rejuvenating the world's benefits and eliminating the harms of the world', attach importance to hard practice, strict discipline, advocate self-discipline, and live a hard life."

"The requirements of the Mo family, many people are difficult to persevere, the ancestors set up the sect in the remote mountains, in addition to safety reasons, more hope to use the harsh environment to sharpen the disciples of the Mo family. Only truly determined disciples of the Mo family have the opportunity to enter the sect to do things, and endure the boring life of being isolated from the world for many years in the sect, but still need to strive for self-improvement. ”

After listening to Yu Di's explanation, everyone was impressed.

Many people have heard that the ink has a high degree of self-restraint.

Mencius? It is recorded in "Dedication to the Heart" that the ink man "wears fur brown as his clothes and his feet (straw sandals) as his clothes, day and night, and takes self-suffering as the extreme"; The ink can "go to the soup and die, and die without spinning the heel", which means that he will not turn his heel and retreat until he dies. The discipline of the Mohists is very strict, "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Period? "Go to Private" once said, "The law of the ink man, the murderer dies, and the wounder is punished", there was a Mo family giant called the belly of the belly, the son of the belly of the belly killed someone, although he was forgiven by King Qin Hui, but still insisted on the "law of the ink of the murderer" of "the murderer dies".

These qualities advocated by the sect can be seen in the disciples of the Mo family who are stationed in the Zhulu Leader.

Walking into the Mo family's sect, seeing these simple and low thatched houses, seeing the farmland and crops cultivated by the thatched houses, seeing those Mo disciples who focus on martial arts practice or mechanism making, and seeing the real scene inside the most mysterious sect of the Mo family, you will truly feel how worthy of respect this sect is.

There are also black-robed inkmen working in the fields, mostly teenagers.

The way the young people of the Mo family do farm work is also different from that of ordinary people.

A teenager is deworming a field with a sword. The young man's face was solemn, the sword danced vigorously, jumping and moving, the sword swept over the plant, the poor insect was killed by the sword of the inkman, and the plant also suffered from the fish in the pond, if they had wisdom, I don't know how they would feel. Looking at the perseverance in the young man's eyes, he must have regarded the insect as a villain outside, and made a rehearsal for the future out of the mountain in advance.

On the other side, there is a young man from the Mo family who is watering the crops, but it is not himself, it is the machine. The hut and farmland were not far from the lake, but it was also troublesome to fetch water from time to time, and the young man was obviously a mechanic, and he made a waterwheel by the lake, using a bamboo tube to bring water to the farmland, and the person responsible for powering the waterwheel was a simple mechanic, unable to move, only mechanically pulling a rope tied to the waterwheel. At this time, there seemed to be something wrong with the organ, and the boy was busy troubleshooting.

They are not only doing farm work, but also honing their skills.

Yu Di told everyone that most of the farm work in the sect was taken care of by the teenagers.

"The teenager farms the land and raises everyone in the valley, and the adults sit back and enjoy it, this, this is not good!"

"No, it won't."

Yu Di said solemnly: "Adult ink masters have to undertake all combat tasks, and sometimes they go out of the valley to do sect tasks, and they never come back; If the organ master wants to develop the organ equipment, he also needs to make money to ensure that the sect has money to maintain, and he forgets to sleep and eat, and he is worried about it, and the hard work is far worse than doing some farm work. The sect asked the young man to be in charge of farm work, because he wanted to cultivate a tenacious, hard-working and hard-working nature from an early age, and only in this way could he grow into a qualified ink master in the future. ”

The rules of the Mo family are treated equally.

Bird Di showed an extraordinary talent for mechanical arts since he was a child, and was selected as a disciple of the lineage, but even so, when he first entered the sect, he also worked in agriculture for more than three years, and later his mechanical attainments continued to improve, and the sect gradually reduced his work tasks, allowing him to have more time to study academics.

Xu Piaomiao stopped at his feet: "The sect hall has arrived." ”

Yu Buzhi and Xu Shu, Xun Yan and others were calm on the surface, but there was a burst of emotion in their hearts.

The so-called Zongmen Council Hall is a dilapidated thatched house, if it weren't for Xu Piaomiao and Yu Di's solemn faces, and the wooden plaque with the words "Council Hall" hanging under the thatched eaves, they would never believe that a Xuanhe sect handed down from the Warring States Period, the Zongmen Council Hall is actually like this.

The thatched house is very dilapidated, but the three characters of the council hall are dragon flying and phoenix dancing, and the atmosphere is magnificent.

Yu Buzhi and the others were still sighing, and Xu Piaomiao had already bowed down to ask for instructions.

"Report, the chief ink man of the sect, Xu Piaomiao, will bring the guests to the deer."

An old voice came from inside the hut: "Ethereal, bring the guests in." ”

Moxia is the official title of the dead soldiers of the Mo family within the Mo family, which means that they walk for chivalry. By the way, the person in charge of the debate among the Mohists is called "Mobian", that is, the polemic school among the three schools of Mohistism, because the polemic school has long ceased to exist, and there is no Mohist debate today.

Xu Piaomiao agreed, turned to the side, bowed halfway, and led with one hand.

Yu was not wise or polite, let the sergeant stay outside the house, and walked in with Xu Shu and Xun Yan.

There was only one old man in the house, who was emaciated, his eyes were cloudy, his hair was gray, and his robe was covered with patches of large and small patches, but he was cleanly washed. The old man's back was obviously hunched, and when Yu Buzhi walked into the house, the old man was sitting on a straw mat, writing something on the bamboo slips with a brush, and his back was so bent that it was hard to imagine what it would look like when he was straight, and perhaps his eyesight was not good, and his head was very close.

Yu Buzhi and others made a special trip to visit the sect, and they asked to see the Mo family giant, and when Xu Piaomiao brought everyone over, he said that the giant asked him to take them to the council hall.

If it weren't for Xu Piaomiao leading the way, it would be hard for Yu Buzhi to believe that this old man was the contemporary giant of the Mo family.

The simple council hall, the poor and rickety giants, put together, there is no sense of disobedience.

The old man gave Yu Buzhi the first feeling, it was like a silent mountain, wordless and heavy, and the other was that the sitting posture was different from other people, but for a while he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"This must be the unwise city lord."

The old man put down the bamboo slip, smiled lightly and said to everyone: "The old man Meng Jin, he is the contemporary giant of the Mo family, the Mo family has been hidden for a long time, and the sect has not had guests visit for many years. ”

Yu Buzhi finally understood why he felt that the giant sat in a weird position.

It felt stiff and unnatural, which was caused by the legs and feet.

Later, I learned that Meng Jin did not simply have a problem with his legs and feet, but simply broke his legs at the knees. Twenty years ago, Meng Jin led his disciples out of the mountain to investigate an unsolved case, but was secretly attacked by the enemy, although the enemy was strong after a bloody battle, the accompanying Mo family was not small in casualties, Meng Jin was hit by a poison dart, the poison was extremely fierce, and he had to break his leg to survive, and he has not been able to walk since then.

The old man Meng Jin begged for forgiveness, but the fish was not wise and dared to accept it, so he was busy making a return gift.

Xu Shu and Xun Yan stepped forward to report to their homes and greet Meng Jin.

After the ceremony, Yu Buzhi said: "Seniors, I and Xiao Di are righteous brothers, and Xiao Di is a senior of the sect, we have also been in love for a long time. Today's visit, first, to see the dignity of Master Xiaodi, and second, to express gratitude to the leader of the deer many times. The seniors opened the mountain gate and let us in, which is already the greatest honor for us. Xiaodi and I are like brothers, seniors are Xiaodi's elders, don't be polite to us. ”

Meng Jin stroked his beard and smiled: "That's the case, let's sit down." ”

There were straw mats on the ground on both sides, and Yu Buzhi and the others were looking for their own positions, but Xu Piaomiao and Yu Di did not sit down, they each walked in front of Meng Jin and bowed respectfully, before sitting on his side.

Everyone sat down separately, and several young people of the Mo family rushed in, placing tea and mountain fruits on the table.

Meng Jin said: "The Mo family sect is isolated from the outside world, and there is nothing to entertain guests, but the tea and mountain fruits are all produced in the valley, and the tea is new tea, which can barely be eaten, so you might as well give it a try." ”

Seeing Meng Jin say this, the three of them picked up the tea bowls one after another.

Although Yu Buzhi often drinks tea, he has no concept of the quality of tea, no matter what tea can be drunk, whether the new tea of the Mo family is good or not, and where it is good, he can't say one, two, three. Xu Shu and Xun Yan are different, Xu Shu used to be a hero everywhere, and his knowledge far exceeded that of his peers, Xun Yan was born in Xun's family, and his family knowledge is very high.

Xu Shu and Xun Yan praised this tea, especially Xun Yan, who praised this tea in a few words, or it was inevitable that there was a suspicion of applause, but it was just right, not exaggerated, so that the owner listened like a spring breeze.

At the beginning, Meng Jin had a better impression of Xu Shu, Xu Shu had both the temperament of a ranger and a scribe, and was born in a poor family. But after everyone finished evaluating the tea, Meng Jin looked at Xun Yan's gaze, which was obviously softer.

The fish was unwise and smiled without saying a word.

[Famous family] characteristics, plundering people's goodwill is invisible.

Xun Yan has been stationed in the Flying Fish Collar for a long time, and he is a neighbor of the Mo family sect, and the higher the friendship with the Mo family, the better.

After some comments, there was laughter in the house, and the guests and hosts were happy.

The atmosphere was harmonious, and the conversation that followed was more relaxed and casual.

Yu Buzhi thanked the Mo family for helping Zhulu Ling to resist strong enemies many times, counted the outstanding contributions of the Mo family disciples, and praised Xu Piaomiao and other Mo family disciples who were stationed in Zhulu Ling. However, the fish is not wise is a real feeling, if it were not for the strong help of the Mo family disciples, the Zhulu Territory may not be destroyed, but the losses that the territory may suffer will inevitably be much higher. Yu Buzhi's gratitude to the Mo family is indeed a manifestation of sincere willingness.

In the end, Yu Buzhi sighed with emotion: "The sect is located in a barren mountain, it is inconvenient to buy, and now the flying fish collar is not far away, and the city has its own corresponding output, and foreign trade is convenient." Although the Zhulu Territory is not the richest territory, it is not difficult to be responsible for the daily use of the sect, and I hope that the seniors will not shirk. The Mo family is very kind to the deer, and a little bit is not enough to repay in case, I have no other meaning, I am grateful, and I just ask for peace of mind. ”

"If there are other places where the predecessors can use the deer collar, please also make it clear."

"I will go all out to lead the deer, and I dare not refuse."

The people in the room were a little moved.

It is just a matter of expressing his willingness to fund the daily use of the sect, but the last two sentences are very heavy.

Yu Buzhi said this, which is equivalent to telling the Mo family giant, you can put forward any needs you have, as long as you can do it, you will never say anything. It shows a strong willingness to make friends with the Mo family, as well as extraordinary sincerity. It's just that the ordinary lord said this, the Zhulu Leader is the first city in the world, the strength is strong, the reputation of Kyushu, the combat power of the troops and the financial resources of the territory are very considerable, Yu Buzhi said such a thing, and the weight of the ordinary lord is completely different.

Xu Shu and Xun Yan were not surprised, the Mo family's past efforts were worthy of this attitude.

Xu Piao, who has always been restrained, has a gleam in his eyes.

The most excited person in the house is Yu Di, he is a disciple of the Mo family, and he is also a deer chaser, on one side is the sect, on the other side is the righteous brother, both sides are close to him, and it is precisely because of him that the deer collar and the Mo family sect will have so many intersections. Seeing that Yu Buzhi released such an obvious friendship sincerity, Yu Di was extremely moved.

This is not a simple overture.

Everyone was silent, waiting for Meng Jin's decision.
