Qin was extremely afraid of Chu Mo, and so was Zhang Ji.
Ever since Zhang Ji went to Jishan Yinyang Family Star Palace to propose marriage, he noticed that Chu Mo gradually began to favor Chu State, so he often sent Liu Sword Slave who was good at concealing his aura and Ba Linglong who had many infiltration methods to the Chu land to explore Chu Mo. A series of information.
The cooperation with Li Yuan was also mentioned in the intelligence when Ba Linglong was investigating the cooperation matters between Chu Mo and Chun Shenjun. Zhang Ji noticed it and sent Zhenri into Chu to set up a line with Li Yuan. .
As he probed more and more about the Chu Mo family entrenched in the Chu Mountains, Zhang Ji became more and more wary of Chu Mo.
In the past, the Mohist family was divided into three parts, and Deng Lingzi led a group of supporters south to Chu, known as "Chu Mo".
As for the Chu Mo lineage, they usually performed chivalry as a knight. The name "Mo Xia" was also created by the Chu Mo lineage. It was once the interpreter of the word "chivalry" in the hearts of knights all over the world.
However, Chu Mo was naturally hostile to Qin, or to the Legalists.
Legalists do not like rangers. Although it was Han Fei who proposed the use of force to violate the ban on knights, Legalists have long proposed the need to strictly control the rangers as a group. However, no one dares to propose banning and "using force to violate the prohibition". Such straightforward advice.
For the Legalists, who had always disliked rangers, and the Chu-Mo family was based on rangers, there was naturally a fight to the death between them.
And this is also the reason why the Chu-Mo clan hates Qin so much.
Although most countries have undergone reforms, they have not involved the interests of the rangers, which are regarded as the foundation by the Chu Mo family.
Even Li Kui's reforms in Wei and Wu Qi's reforms in Chu did not dare to offend the two huge groups of nobles and knights at the same time. Only Shang Yang's reforms in Qin offended all the nobles, knights and scholars in one go. .
Regarding rangers, the Qin State strictly prohibited private fights, which completely cut off the roots of rangers in the Qin State.
The rangers in the world either bully the people under the guise of being chivalrous and righteous, or they are villains who directly bully the people, or they are the rangers who truly act chivalrously, punish rape and eradicate evil, and save the people.
However, the law prohibits private fighting, and no matter what kind of ranger you are, you have lost your living space.
The township chiefs, village chiefs, pavilion chiefs and even village chiefs in the Qin Dynasty once regarded the rangers as enemies and were wary of those visiting rangers.
However, this is also related to the mixed composition of rangers in this era, and it is not the fault of the legal family.
Chu Mo, who had been deprived of his living space, naturally regarded the Qin State, which supported the Legalist anti-rogue system, as his mortal enemy. In name, he followed the Shandong states to hold high the banner against the "tyrannical Qin", which was to fight for the justice of the world. In fact, Shang had also deviated from Deng Lingzi's original intention of pursuing "non-offensive" alone and stopping all aggressive wars.
Because Chu Mo has deviated from Chu Mo's original intention, and Chu Mo just takes "chivalry" as his core idea, his current behavior based on profit has made it difficult for Chu Mo's disciples to reach the top in the practice of "Mo Jing". Extremely lacking in strength, the only master warriors are the contemporary Deng Lingzi and the contemporary Deng Lingzi's master-uncle, and there are only six half-step masters.
Therefore, Chu Mo chose another development path-swordsmanship
The difference in realm is only the difference in the quantity and purity of internal energy. It plays many roles in the battle, but it is not the only influencing factor.
The external skills used to temper the physical body, as well as various moves, all affect the outcome of the battle.
It's like two characters in a game who lag behind in level, but surpass their higher-level opponent in other attributes such as attack, speed, or defense. Then they have a chance of winning in a battle with a higher level. If there are many attributes that exceed those of high-level opponents, then there is a high chance of winning.
As a disciple of the Mohist family, especially Chu Mo who advocates the way of knight-errant, the sword is the most commonly used weapon among Mohist disciples.
As a result, swordsmanship became the major practice of Chu Mo's disciples.
After several generations of Chu Mo disciples' research, Chu Mo's lineage created more sword moves based on Mo Zi's swordsmanship, especially the killing moves, which are famous for their speed and ruthlessness.
Moreover, while studying swordsmanship, Chu Mo also discovered the advantages of specializing in swordsmanship and minoring in internal strength over specializing in internal force and minoring in swordsmanship.
With perfect swordsmanship, even if your internal strength is mediocre, you can still defeat the enemy.
No matter you are a master, if you are struck by a sword, you will bleed, get injured, and die.
However, the pure internal power of the master realm can often form a layer of internal power barrier that ordinary weapons cannot penetrate, and must rely on the blessing of internal power.
The Chu Mo family also developed the idea of improving the quality of swords and using famous swords to fight against enemies. Even the master's internal strength is often difficult to successfully block when facing famous swords.
Therefore, combined with Chu's rich copper and iron resources and absorbing the sword-making techniques left by Wu and Yue, Chu Mo's sword-making level is also higher than that of Qin Mo and Qi Mo. If not for Mrs. Xu, a native of Zhao, even the Mohist General Academy His sword-making skills are also incomparable to Chu Mo's.
Chu Mo disciples holding high-quality iron swords can often burst out with powerful combat effectiveness when facing enemies, and sword skills are easier to master than internal skills and are effective very quickly.
After ten years of training, Mohist disciples who specialize in swordsmanship can outperform most Mohist disciples who specialize in internal skills.
Within twenty years of training, the Mohist disciples who specialize in swordsmanship and the Mohist disciples who specialize in internal skills are also good at winning, and it is difficult to distinguish them.
It is not until twenty years of practice that the Mohist disciples who specialize in internal skills will gradually begin to surpass the Mohist disciples who specialize in swordsmanship.
After practicing for thirty years, the Mohist disciples who specialize in swordsmanship can no longer compete with the Mohist disciples who specialize in internal strength.
However, there are disciples of the Mo family who specialize in internal skills. Even if they join the Mo family at a young age of fifteen, they will have to wait until they are at least thirty-five to surpass the disciples of Chu Mo who specialize in swordsmanship.
However, the world is full of wars. In the past, the disciples of the Mo family suffered many casualties due to non-offensive warfare and maintaining order in the world, punishing rape and eradicating evil. How many of them could survive to the age of thirty-five safely?
The world has been in conflict for seven hundred years, and countless talented warriors have died in the chaos before they fully matured.
Moreover, practicing internal strength also requires talent.
Some people are not naturally good at practicing internal skills, so they choose to specialize in non-attack machine skills, or choose the art of smelting and forging weapons, or the art of eloquence like Qi Mo. This is also an incentive for the Mohist school to be divided. .
However, this is not the case for those who specialize in swordsmanship. No matter how stupid a person is, as long as he practices swordsmanship arduously and diligently, even if he has no talent but only his own skills, he can still exert considerable fighting power.
The cultivation of internal strength and the understanding of the "Mo Jing" require opportunities in addition to talent. Diligence alone cannot make up for these gaps.
In addition, specializing in internal strength consumes far more resources than specializing in swordsmanship. Therefore, although Chu Mo's top combat power is far inferior to that of the Mohist General Academy, his backbone combat power, which is comparable to first- and second-rate warriors, far exceeds that of the Mohist General Academy.
Unless the Mojia General Academy plans to completely break up with Chu Mo and mobilize the machine beasts to participate in the war, the Mojia General Academy is indeed inferior to Chu Mo in terms of backbone combat strength.
If dozens of Chu Mo swordsmanship disciples with comparable first- and second-rate combat prowess formed a Mohist sword formation, then not even a six-fingered black man would dare to break into the formation easily.
What worries Zhang Ji the most is that if Chu Mo completely attaches himself to the Chu State, tens of thousands of Chu Mo disciples who specialize in swordsmanship can instantly become tens of thousands of powerful soldiers of the Chu State!
Every Mohist disciple, even if the martial arts talent is not good, as long as there is no defect, must learn the Mohist sword formation.
The Mohist Sword Formation was created by Mozi after observing the military formations of various countries. It can be advanced to attack, retreated to defend, scattered, or formed into formations. If tens of thousands of Chu Mo Sword Cultivator disciples who have practiced the Mohist Sword Formation are organized into an army , is definitely a powerful team on the same level as the four elites in the world, Qin Ruishi, Zhao Bianqi, Wei Wuzu and Qi Martial Arts.
This is the biggest threat to Qin.
The Six-fingered Black Man took Mrs. Xu and other masters and half-step masters to the south of Chu. It seemed that he planned to really break up with Chu Mo.
Courtesy before fighting, he once again persuaded Chu Mo to remain neutral, but if Chu Mo did not obey the orders of the Mo Family General Academy, then there would be a legitimate reason to clean up the family.
But the question is, if the Six-fingered Black Man wants to start a war with Chu Mo, can it really go so smoothly?
In other words, are Qin Mo, Qi Mo and the Mo family headquarters really willing to support the Six-fingered Black Man in cleaning up the family?
