Against the sky nine tripods

"Mr. Mo, how are you doing these days? Has the Gongshu family troubled you again?" Lin Feng brought everyone to the residence, and started chatting with Mo Wuya.

When Mo Wuya heard about the Gongshu family, he frowned slightly, and then said: "The Gongshu family has not done anything to our Mo family yet. However, there are indications that they may not wait too long."

"Oh? I still don't understand why the Mo family and the Gongshu family are in a state of confrontation. Aren't you all hiding in the Kyushu?" Lin Feng asked with some doubts.

"Hehe." Mo Wuya smiled wryly, "Actually, it's okay to tell you, it's not a secret in Kyushu. Back then, the fight between Mo Zhai, the founder of the Mohist family, and Gongshu Pan, the ancestor of the Gongshu family, originated from The battle between Chu and Song."

Mo Wuya recounted the situation at that time in detail while recalling.

It turns out that Chu State was a big and powerful country in the south during the Spring and Autumn Period, while Song State was a small and weak country in the Central Plains.In order to attack the Song State, the King of Chu asked Gongshu Ban to make a batch of ladders, ready to attack at any time.The state of Song is at stake.

Mo Zhai was very shocked when he heard the news. He ordered Qin Huali to lead more than 300 people to Song State to support him, and went to Chu State himself to persuade the king of Chu to give up the unjust war.

Mo Di traveled day and night and arrived at Ying, the capital of Chu, after ten days and ten nights, where he met Gongshu Pan.Gongshu Pan said: "What do you want to tell me?" Mo Di said: "There is a man in the north who bullied me and I want you to kill him."Mo Di said: "I am willing to pay a high price." Gongshu Pan was even more annoyed when he heard this, and said angrily: "I pursue righteousness, and I will never kill anyone!"

Mo Di was secretly happy when he heard Gongshuban's words. He stood up and bowed to Gongshuban again, saying, "Let's discuss the righteousness you just said. I heard that you built a ladder and will use it to attack Song State. What crime is Song State guilty of?" What? The state of Chu has plenty of land, but its population is insufficient. Now it is not wise to sacrifice the insufficient population to plunder the surplus land.

Song Guo attacked it without guilt, which cannot be called benevolence.Knowing righteousness and benevolence, but not admonishing and disputing, cannot be regarded as loyalty.If there is no result in remonstrance and disputes, it cannot be regarded as strong.To kill many people without killing one person is by no means wise. " Gongshu Pan thinks what Mo Di said is reasonable.

Mo Di asked: "Since you think what I said is reasonable, why didn't you cancel the idea of ​​attacking Song State?" Gongshu Pan said: "No. I have already made a wish to the King of Chu." Mo Di said: "Why didn't you take me with you?" How about going to see the King of Chu?" So Gongshu Pan took Mo Di to see the King of Chu.

When Mo Di met the king of Chu, he said to the king, "Now there is a man here who abandons his float, and his neighbor has a broken one, but wants to steal it; Want to steal it; give up delicious food, neighbors have dross, but want to steal it. What kind of person is this?"

The king of Chu said, "This man must have been sick with stealing."

Mo Di also said: "Chu has a land with a circumference of [-] miles, while Song has only [-] miles. This is equivalent to the difference between floats and broken carts. Chu has Yunmeng Daze, which is filled with various precious and rare animals. The Yangtze River, the Han River, and all kinds of fish can be said to be the richest in the world. The Song Dynasty didn’t even have pheasants, rabbits, and foxes. There are no decent big trees. This is simply the difference between gorgeous silk fabrics and coarse cloth jackets. Under such circumstances, if you want to attack Song State, what is the difference between this and a person who suffers from stealing disease? If your king really goes to attack The state of Song will definitely harm benevolence and righteousness, but it cannot occupy the state of Song."

The King of Chu said: "You are right. But Gongshu Ban has built a ladder for me. I must attack Song!"

Mo Di then took off his belt, surrounded it like a city, and used small pieces of wood to represent the weapons used to defend the city.Gongshu Pan designed ladders and other equipment for attacking the city nine times, and Mo Di resisted his attack nine times.Gongshu Pan's strategy for attacking the city was exhausted, but Mo Di's strategy for defending the city was more than sufficient.

The cunning Gongshu Pan had another plan and said, "I know how to deal with you, but I won't tell."

The king of Chu asked why, and Mo Di said: "What he meant was to kill me. If you kill me, no one in Song can defend, and you can attack, but my student Qin Huali and others are more than 300 People, you are already waiting for your invasion on the capital of the Song Dynasty with weapons in hand! Even if you kill me, you will not be able to succeed."

The king of Chu had no choice but to cancel the idea of ​​​​attacking Song.

"Originally, the patriarch Mo Di prevented the Chu State from launching a war for peace and saved the people. However, since then, Gongshuban has been bitter about it, thinking that the Patriarch Mo Di has brought him a great insult, and trying to find fault with our Mo family, hoping to take revenge But at that time our Mohist family was also extremely powerful, and members of the Gongshu family did not dare to act rashly." Mo Wuya said while recalling.

"Until many years later, after Gongshu Ban and Mo Zhai Patriarch successively ascended to Xiantian, the Gongshu family suddenly reported that they had lost the heavenly secret manual, and suspected that it was from our Mohist family. They used this to attack our Mohist family. Although the strength of the Mohist family has declined slightly, it is not as good as the Mohist family. The Gongshu family at that time was still on par, so they returned without success." Mo Wuya said disdainfully.

"What is the secret manual?" Lin Feng asked curiously.

"It is said that this handbook of secrets is the mechanism technique left by Gongshuban, and the knowledge in it is probably similar to that of Moji. I have to admit that Gongshuban has a profound knowledge of mechanism techniques, and I am afraid that only Patriarch Mo Di can compare with it Two. The public loser has always coveted the ink machine of our Mo family, and it is hard to say whether the machine manual was lost or not, maybe it was just an excuse." Mo Wuya said frankly.

"So the Mo family didn't get the Heaven's Secret Manual at all?" Lin Feng asked curiously.

Mo Wuya nodded, "Yes. However, no matter how we explain it, they don't believe it. In the end, they didn't explain it at all. Over the years, the public losers and the Mo family have become more and more hostile, and every once in a while there will be a conflict."

"Oh, that's it." Lin Feng nodded.

"However, this time the Gongshu family is different from the past. They seem to have become more active. They are constantly contacting the major forces in Kyushu, as if seeking an alliance. And, for some reason, the overall strength of the Gongshu family has also increased. Quite a few, and maybe they really got the support of some forces. It will be extremely detrimental to our Mohist family if it continues to develop like this."

"Old Mo, what can you do?" Lin Feng looked at Mo Wuya and asked.

Mo Wuya shook his head: "For so many years, the Mohist family has been used to a hidden life, and has no contact with other forces in Kyushu. However, don't worry, the Mohist family has existed for so many years and has a rich heritage. It is impossible for the Gongshu family to easily defeated us."

"Well, if you need me, Lin Feng, just tell me. I will do my best." Lin Feng said firmly.

"Yeah. Sure enough, I didn't misread you." Mo Wuya nodded.
