Chapter 190 Infinite Changes and New Strategies (Thirteen)

Quite understands that war is not necessarily rational, but since the Mohists are reasonable, and he wants to be "the best student of the giant", he naturally has to ask this question from an idealized perspective that he actually knows the answer to.

King Chu felt that Shi was still young, and felt that it might be strange for others to ask such a question, but it was extremely normal for people from the Mo family to ask it.

He felt that there was no need to answer, because the purpose and significance of this expedition, and even some deeper power struggles, had been clearly explained before.

Xiong Dang is already moved by the three-year agreement, as long as he doesn't withdraw his troops now, he can agree, and even ask Mo Zhe to help mediate.

As long as they have the upper hand within three years, what Ting Shi means is that if the Three Jin Dynasties break the contract in the future, the Mo family seems to be able to help the Chu people defend the city.

It is a huge advantage to defend the city, and even the Mohists help the Chu people rebuild the city defense.

The King of Chu thought about it for a while, and asked, "Did Song Gong agree to the Mohism's mediation among other countries?"

Shi smiled sarcastically and said: "The Mohists guard Shangqiu, but the Mohists belong to the world, not from the Song Dynasty. It's just that the Song Dynasty is weak and the Chu Dynasty is strong. If they don't help defend Shangqiu, they won't be able to survive until the Three Jins come to help."

The implication is that Song Gong and Juzi are in an equal relationship, a wartime cooperative relationship, not a subordinate relationship.

The King of Chu praised half-truthfully: "Mohists are so talented, I am somewhat looking forward to Chu being weak and Song Qiang, and it is not Peixian but Ying that wants to come to Dazhi."

This is considered a very high praise, so Shi did not answer. The King of Chu said again: "Since we talked about the covenant, I can first form an alliance with the Mohist. After three years, no matter whether the three Jins are eliminated or not, the Chu people will no longer be unjust." If this is the case at that time, Mo Zhe may help Chu defend the city?"

Shi replied ambiguously: "If Mohists can be measured as 'beneficial to the world' by the rules of heaven's will, not to mention defending the city, but to help them set the world in one, what is it?"

In fact, these words did not answer the question of the king of Chu at all, but sophistry gave an answer to another seemingly similar question.

However, the king of Chu was overjoyed, and said in his heart: "Although there are giants in the Mohist family, their giants have no ambitions and only focus on benefiting the world."

"This matter cannot be faked. When Mo Di entered Chu alone, he could be trusted. Furthermore, if one person pretends to be able to pretend to die, how is it different from the most holy person?"

"If the Mohist can enter Chu, the royal family can be safe inside, the border can be guarded outside, and the government can be farmed. I will not engage in unjust wars. How can I care about the affairs of children and grandchildren?"

He was faintly moved, and said: "In this case, we can form an alliance."

Shi said: "If an alliance is formed, the Mohist must be the officiant, so that God can supervise."

People in Chu believed in ghosts and gods, and there were officials in charge of sacrifices. Taizhu immediately asked, "Why are Mohists doing the sacrifices? There are no witches in Chu?"

Shi spread his hands and said: "Mohists value ghosts and gods, and they have their own ways of offering sacrifices. If the people of Chu offer sacrifices, how would they be willing to do so? You are from Chu, but Mohist is from the world. This is different."

"Besides, I heard that when King Zhao of the past, Guan She's father said: In ancient times, the people's gods were not mixed. The people's spirit is not mixed, but they can be united and upright. Xuanlang, its brightness can illuminate it, its intelligence can penetrate the moon, if so, the god of enlightenment will come down, and it is called shaman for men, and witch for women. At this time, God can communicate with people."

"Later, with the decline of Shaohao, the morality of Jiuli was chaotic, and the gods of the people were mixed, so there was nothing to be done. The wife is the enjoyment, and the family is a witch history, so there is no quality. , the people and the gods are in the same place. The people insult the Qi League, there is no majesty. Nanzheng reorganized the sky to belong to the gods, ordered the fire to Zhengli to govern the land to belong to the people, so that the old things would be restored, and there would be no interference. God can’t communicate with people so far.”

"There are so many shamans in Chu, and even a great shaman like Guan Shefu can't reach heaven, so how can you officiate?"

Taizhu was speechless, seeing his father's talent, he was naturally not as good, after a moment of silence, he asked: "Could it be possible that Mohists can reach God?"

Waiting for Mo Zhe to pass the words on to Yu Shi, Shi secretly clenched his fists, and he waited for so long just to wait for such a sentence.

It's just that he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods at all, and he doesn't care about God, so he asked vaguely at this time: "If there is a God, it must be in the nine heavens, right?"

Tai Zhuxin said that there is no problem with saying this. Back then, Chongli cut off the Kunlun Ladder and cut off the Kunlun Ladder, and he was cut off from God.

Shi said again: "If one person is in Shangqiu and wants to go to Zhongli, although he doesn't know the exact location of Zhongli, but the rut is facing south. The other person also wants to go to Zhongli, but he is going north. May I ask, which person is closer to Zhongli?"

Taizhu replied: "Those who go south are closer."

Shi laughed and said: "Yes, the Mohists can make these congratulations closer to the Nine Heavens, so before they can't find a way to get closer to the Nine Heavens, the Mohist's officiant method is the most likely to reach God."

Without waiting for Taizhu's answer, he bowed to the king of Chu and said, "Please pay the account, the way of the ink-watcher!"

After the King of Chu agreed, he slightly nodded at several secretarial staff, and those people withdrew first to make preparations.

All the Chu ministers also followed out of the big tent, surrounded by military vehicles, and there were many soldiers standing guard, in case the Mohist resorted to Cao Mo's tricks.

If the car is full of gunpowder at this time, the king of Chu can be killed in one fell swoop, but Shi and Mo are not from the Song Dynasty, but from the world, so they don't have much hatred for the king of Chu, and it is not worthwhile to do such a thing. thing.

Those Mohists took out some weird utensils that they had prepared, and walked in front of everyone. They were just a few huge Kongming lanterns that had not yet appeared at this time.

The King of Chu didn't know what these strange utensils were for, so he asked, "What is this?"

"This thing can fly for nine days."

The king of Chu was puzzled. Looking at these unattractive silk artifacts, he was half-believed in his heart, which stemmed from the surprises Mohists always brought.

The other half is greatly disbelieving.

Taizhu thought to himself, how can this thing be passed on in Jiutian?
So he asked: "Birds need to have wings to fly in the nine heavens. I heard that in the past, Gongshu Pan and Mo Di each made wooden kites. The ten thousand zhang cable?"

Shi laughed loudly, and said wildly: "Who said that without wings, you can't soar to the nine heavens? Heaven's will is infinite, how can you know? Birds can fly if they have wings, so can it be said that wings can fly? Just like people in Shangqiu wheat, can it be said that wheat is all food?"

The sophistry of the Mohists, Chu Zhitai Zhu also heard about it, but at this moment he didn't know how to answer, he was speechless.

Pretending to be a pen and paper, he recited the prayers he learned from some Mohist witches, as if that was the case.

He wrote a few more words on the paper, and tied a piece of paper under the Kongming lantern. The king of Chu asked again: "The writing on the grass silk is not Chu characters."

Shi said: "The writing of the Mohist can reach the Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven is not from Chu."

"Besides, if there are gods, gods, and ghosts, they must use Mohist characters. In the past, I studied with hermits, and my master also met hermits when he was young. He got a thousand pieces of grass and silk, all of which were such questions, in order to analyze the will of heaven. "

What he said was not nonsense, after all, the knowledge he learned was indeed written in the words he was familiar with.

It's just that when these words sounded at this time, there was such a hint of ghosts and gods.

More than a hundred years later, Zifang picked up his shoes, but he didn't know which language was used in the heavenly book Huang Shigong gave him... If it was Qin Wen, it would be interesting.

Now that there are many strange things happening, the King of Chu has heard more about them this year, and he thinks that the Emperor of Heaven really uses such characters—it is not possible to say that God, ghosts and gods can't read.

After the flicker was over, someone lit the grease under the Kongming lamp. After a while, the hot air propped up the silk, and some of the ministers of the King of Chu couldn't help but exclaimed: "It really flew?!"

Those Kongming lanterns prepared in advance skyrocketed under the watchful eyes of everyone.

No wind today, just right.

Everyone looked up and saw these strange things rising continuously, and some of them disappeared without a trace.

In the Chu people's camp, many people looked up and pointed, thinking that ghosts and gods had descended.

In the past, Mo Di and Gongshu Ban used various means to make wooden kites, but wooden kites still have wings, and kites at least look like birds.

But at this time, these silk Kongming lanterns are chubby, and the most important thing is that there is no rope binding underneath.

Flying all over the sky, if it is night at this time, it will really be like fireflies all over the sky.

Shi stood up and pointed to the Kongming lanterns flying high in the sky and said: "Mysterious birds can peck and float and fly high, hawks and falcons can catch rabbits and mice and flap their wings, there are big and small."

"Since this thing can fly into the sky, if it is a thousand times bigger, can't it carry people to the nine heavens?"

"If there is a heavenly emperor, this object is the closest to the heavenly emperor, and can reach God; if there is no god, if you fly high on this object, you can see it with your own eyes!"

"Guan Shefu used to think that Chongli killed Kunlun, and thought that the world would be separated from now on, but he didn't know that the world has its own will, and it can reach the nine heavens, and it can reach the underworld!"

"I have the ambition of heaven. If I want to, I can swim all over the world and enter the nine heavens!"

What he said was extremely arrogant, and he laughed as a backup, secretly observing the movement of the Chu people, and the restraint of the soldiers in the distant military camp.

The king of Chu was shocked, but he also heard the appropriate subtext: "You can reach the Yellow Springs, that is to say, the Mohists can even reach the Yellow Springs, so it is not a big deal to dig a few dozen steps of the underground to connect you. Don't use such siege methods in the future.

It's not that you can pass through the ghosts of the earth, so you can dig through them without any difference, just know the will of heaven.But knowing the will of heaven, if you can dig through it, what is the difference from communicating with ghosts?
King Zhao is only 80 years away from this time, and King Zhao wholeheartedly wants to seek the art of ascension to heaven, and Xiong Dang, as the queen of King Zhao, also has this heart.

It is appropriate to say that, the king of Chu believed in the Mohist's infinite means of sacrifice, and he could reach God.

Shixin said: To engage in feudal superstition, you also need science. When it comes to engaging in feudal superstition, who is better in the world at this time?

Seeing that this object has already stunned everyone, he said, "So, shouldn't the Mohist be the chief priest? If there is a heavenly emperor, the Mohist will be the most able to understand; if there is no heavenly emperor, no matter who sacrifices, it will be useless! Believe it or not. No, that's what Juzi said if there are ghosts and gods watching over the mountain stream."

The Chu people saw such a mysterious thing, and listened to Shi said that they looked down upon the world, and finally said: "So, this time the alliance will be formed, and the Mohist will be the officiant."

Shi nodded and said: "The Mohists are not from Chu or Jin, but they are from Chu and from Jin. Therefore, no one in the world can preside over the benefit of the world except the Mohist and the emperor of Zhou. Eliminate soldiers."

The king of Chu thought, what is the emperor of Zhou?Who still listens to Zhou Tianzi at this time?Speaking of it, only the Mohists, a seemingly absolutely neutral organization that suppresses the strong and supports the weak, can rely on various artifacts that the monarch expects to organize the third alliance to eliminate soldiers.

So he said: "If that's the case, then invite the Mohist to perform the sacrifice."
