Chapter 448 Entering the Momen alone
It is said that in the world of martial arts, speed is the only thing that cannot be defeated. Chen Long used the Tuanxi Kung Fu to detect the characteristics of his opponent, make a decision and then take action, and succeeded in seizing the sword in three moves.
Shi Huan just wanted to evade and not fight back, so he naturally fell into Chen Long's trap. Shi Huan's short sword was taken away, so he fulfilled his promise and told Chen Long his real name. Before leaving, he also reminded Chen Long to pay attention to the threat of assassins. It seemed that he had betrayed some information about his lord. This man really had some loyalty.
Lu Chang followed Shi Huan, and Chen Long led two groups of special forces members around to the entrance of Momen's dilapidated courtyard. The courtyard wall is tall and many tiles have fallen off. There are no traces of repairs. The courtyard gate is higher than the line of the courtyard wall. The gate is simple and dilapidated. Only a small Momen sign can be seen on the side, which is almost invisible. A group of sect disciples with high martial arts skills live here, which can be said to be very low-key.
Chen Long calmed down and hit the door knocker a few times. After a while, footsteps sounded, the door opened slightly, and a young face was revealed. He looked at Chen Long and asked, "What's the matter with our guest?"
Chen Long raised his hands politely and said: "My dear, Chen Sheng, I have admired the righteousness of the Mohist family for a long time and have longed for it. What do you call this little brother? I heard that the great son of the Mohist family is in the city. I hope I can let you know. I would be very grateful."
The Mo disciple had a calm expression on his face and bowed his hands as he walked out. "I am just a disciple of the Mo family. My Juzi never sees guests. I will tell Juzi the name of the distinguished guest. If we are destined, we will meet him."
Chen Long saw that the disciple was dressed in a linen robe, hemp shoes, bare feet, and patches piled on his shoulders. He was obviously a typical Mohist disciple. The disciple's expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and he didn't care at all about Chen Long's splendid clothes and fur. Chen Long rolled his eyes and said, "I heard that Mo Zhai, the founder of Mohism, had the concept of universal love. Heaven loves all things, nourishes all things, and tolerates all things; humans should also love them. All things, nourish all things, tolerate all things. Why don’t I seem to be tolerant enough?”
After saying a few words, the Mohist disciple looked at him with admiration and said with cupped hands: "I am rude to you just now, Mochi. I hope you will tolerate me. Since you agree with my Mohist philosophy, I will inform Juzi. Whether you will receive him or not depends on fate." Chen Long He hurriedly handed over his hands in thanks.
Chen Long's purpose of coming here today is to use his strong historical knowledge to persuade Mo Xiu to stay out of the matter and not participate in political disputes or assassinations. If you can't write well, you can use force to defeat Mo Xiu. This threat can be considered eliminated and will avoid variables when the court kidnaps Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in the future.
Mo Chi came out later, made a gesture of invitation, then stretched out his hand to stop Chen Long's two followers and said: "The Mo family is not used to shouting in front of each other, Juzi please come in alone."
Chen Long signaled with his eyes that it was okay and followed Mo Chi into the courtyard alone. The front yard occupies a large area. Several disciples are sweeping some dead leaves, and there are some weapons placed against the courtyard wall, reminding the owners here that they are masters of martial arts.
After walking through the side door and entering the courtyard, two symmetrical cypress trees appeared on both sides, like a gate. Mochi stopped and said, "Sir, the big boy is waiting for you in the backyard." After saying that, he cupped his hands and returned to the front yard.
Chen Long walked slowly through the pines and cypresses and saw a moon gate. As soon as he entered, his eyes flashed and he saw a two-story building opposite. There was a large platform on the second floor. On the platform, there was a chess table. There are two chairs opposite the chess table, just right for playing chess.
There was a man standing on the platform leaning on the railing. He was also wearing linen clothes and holding a wooden sword in both hands. He looked Chen Long up and down without saying a word.
Chen Long came downstairs and looked up slightly, and found that the sun was just shining a little, and he couldn't see Mo Xiu's face clearly. He wondered if Mo Xiu deliberately chose this angle. Chen Long simply put his foot down, flew up to the second floor, and landed next to the chess table.
Mo Xiu didn't expect Chen Long to be so skilled in Qinggong, so he suddenly turned around and faced Chen Long. Mo Xiu was in his thirties, with a thin and muscular figure. Although he was dressed in linen and ge robes, his eyes were shining, showing his good cultivation.
When Mo Xiu saw Chen Long dressed in brocade robes, his eyes seemed to flash with fire. He raised his hand and said, "Sir, please sit down."
Chen Long couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw a tea set placed on the chess table. The teapot seemed to be made of purple sand and the workmanship was quite delicate. There were two cushions on the chair. After Mo Xiu sat down, he adjusted his body and seemed to find a more comfortable angle, and poured Chen Long a cup of tea.
Chen Long held a small and delicate purple clay cup in his hand and said with a smile: "Juzi, what does 'love each other and benefit each other' mean?"
Mo Xiu did not expect that this Chen Sheng would ask the true meaning of the Mohist family when he first came up. He thought for a while and replied: "Look at a person's country as if he were his own country; look at a person's family as if he were his family; look at a person's body as if he were his family." Body. Therefore, if princes love each other, they will not fight in the wild; if the heads of families love each other, they will not usurp each other; if people love each other, they will not rip each other off; if monarchs and ministers love each other, they will be loyal and loyal; if father and son love each other, they will be kind and filial; if brothers love each other, they will be harmonious. The world is in harmony. All people love each other, the strong do not cling to the weak, the masses do not rob the poor, the rich do not bully the poor, the noble do not be arrogant, the deceitful do not deceive the stupid, all the misfortunes and resentments in the world can be avoided, those who love each other will live, this is the benevolent person Honor it."
"The scholars and gentlemen of the world today, who sincerely desire the wealth of the world but hate its poverty; want the rule of the world but hate its chaos, should love and benefit each other at the same time. This is the law of the sage king, which governs the world, and must be followed. .”
The implication of Mo Xiu's words is that treating others as you treat yourself, loving others as you cherish yourself, loving each other without being restricted by rank, status or family location is the way of the Holy King.
Chen Long said with a smile: "However, the scholars in the world have never stopped attacking universal love. They say that maybe you can use this theory to choose scholars, but you can't use it to choose the king, right?"
Mo Xiu looked slightly moved and said: "Sir, you have really thought about it. Let's try to let both of them have their own opinions. Suppose there are two kings here, one of whom advocates the view of love and the other who advocates the view of mutual hatred. The advocate of mutual love An evil king will say: "How can I treat the bodies of my people as I treat my own body? This is so unreasonable for people in the world. There is not much time in this world. It is as short as the gap between a carriage and a horse. I just enjoy the throne by myself. "So when he sees his people starving, he doesn't feed them, they don't clothe them when they're cold, they don't recuperate when they're sick, and they don't bury them when they die. This is what a king who advocates mutual hatred says and does. He advocates loving each other. The king's words are not like this, and his behavior is not like this. He will say: "I heard that to be a wise king in the world, you must first value the lives of all people, and then value yourself. Only then can you be a wise king in the world. Mingjun. "So when he saw his people hungry, he fed them, clothed them when they were cold, recuperated them when they were sick, and buried them when they died. Such is the speech and behavior of a monarch who advocates love. Since this is the case , then why do these two monarchs have different words but opposite actions? I would like to ask: If there is a plague this year, and most of the people die in the ravines due to toil, cold and hunger, I wonder which one of these two monarchs you would choose? , which one will you follow? I think that at this time, no matter the foolish men and women in the world, even those who oppose universal love, they must follow the king who advocates mutual love. Opposing mutual love in speech, but in the choice If you choose to love each other, then your words and deeds are inconsistent.”
Chen Long smiled and said: "That's very well said. So that's it. Then let me ask, what kind of king do you think he is today?"
Mo Xiu was slightly startled. He didn't dare to comment casually in front of outsiders when today's emperor was so close to him. He shook his head and said coldly: "My Mo family never participates in politics."
"Never participate in politics? Why did I hear that the founder of Mohism hoped to make the monarch wary with his theories about gods and ghosts? He also hoped to influence the monarch's doctrine, so how could he not participate in politics!"
Chen Long smiled coldly: "I also heard that Mohist disciples pay attention to frugality and hard work, but you live on the second floor of the small building by yourself. This tea set is also a high-quality purple sand set. I'm afraid it was given to you by a rich friend? Isn't it today? A gift from the emperor? This cushion of yours is so comfortable, Juzi knows how to enjoy it! Haha!"
After saying these words, Mo Xiu stood up quickly, grabbed the wooden sword with his right hand, and said with bulging veins on his face: "Who are you if you dare to come here and make such nonsense?"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
