The Supreme Being

As the sun sets, gold flows like blood, and the hustle and bustle of Bole City gradually returns to tranquility.

"Corporal" Cao He had dinner and sat quietly for a while. When it got dark, he got up and went out, walking in a hurry.

When he arrived outside, he looked around keenly until he confirmed that there was nothing unusual, then he suddenly quickened his pace and turned into a nearby alley, lowering his head from time to time for fear of being noticed.

After walking around the neighborhood for a long time and changing directions continuously, he opened the door of a large house and stepped into the hall. His back was arched and his steps were light, fearing to disturb others and break the atmosphere here.

This kind of behavior is not only due to fear of becoming the target of public criticism, but also a subconscious behavior in the heart. People can't help but admire the lectures of Mr. Su and others.

The hall was covered with straw mats and filled with people of all kinds sitting on their knees, some dressed as scholars, some dressed as retainers, some wandering warriors, and some ordinary people, with different identities but the same concentration, vaguely revealing a bit of piety.

As for the first chapter, today it is Meng Qi's turn to give a lecture, and what he talks about is "love each other and benefit each other."

"Heaven and earth are unkind, treating all things like rotten dogs. They are not tyrannical, but have no feelings, and treat everyone equally." Meng Qi searched for ways to improve the concept of "universal love", and even used the content of the Tao Te Ching that has not yet appeared in this part of the world. .

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and treat all things as stupid dogs... There is no other feeling..." As a scholar, Cao He savored this sentence carefully, and the more he tasted it, the more mysterious it became. It is simple but directly points to the essence of heaven and earth!

Mr. Su is really a great talent. He not only has insight into world affairs and conceals the evils of the world, but also has the ability to study the way of heaven... Cao He sat down quietly, not daring to make any sound.

He noticed that in the innermost circle there were powerful men such as Zhao Bai and Wang Qi, as well as a dozen warriors and scholars with solemn expressions, and nodded secretly. Is this the "Mo Master" who follows the gentlemen?

"But in today's world, the rich humiliate the poor, the rich humiliate the poor, and the strong bullies the weak. Is this the way to be compassionate? If you violate the will of heaven, you will be punished by ghosts and gods. After death, you will not be able to go to heaven. Therefore, everyone must have compassion and compassion. The heart not only loves oneself, but also loves others..." After being forced to this point, Meng Qi couldn't help but say, "And among the princes and nobles, there are many whose ancestors became gods and immortals in the battle to defeat Zhou. Before that, they all Is it possible that ordinary people, by chance, were taught the Dharma, took elixirs, or made great achievements, and received praises from ghosts and gods, gods, Buddhas, saints, princes, and generals? "

Do gods, Buddhas, immortals, saints, princes and generals have the kind of relationship? Cao He and others felt their scalps go numb when they heard it, and their bodies felt as if they were struck by thunder. They felt frightened and relieved at the same time.

Meng Qi stopped and said: "As long as you study hard and practice hard, and do things for the benefit of the world, sooner or later you will be praised by ghosts and gods, become an immortal, become a god, become a king or a prince, destiny is your destiny, it is not destined, this is 'Not fate'."

The people present were very excited when they heard this. Among Mr. Su's "Ten Words of True Secrets", the one they liked and were most willing to listen to was "Fei Ming". It is also connected with Tianzhi, Minggui, etc. to form a whole , as the basis for respecting the virtuous and promoting unity, it is the premise of universal love and non-aggression.

Meng Qi seemed to be sitting upright, talking eloquently, and confident, but in reality he was trembling with fear. The aristocracy in this world was too powerful, including the immortals, gods, and Buddhas, and they were temporarily unable to defeat them. Therefore, he had to reform and not point directly at them, but he must not be inconsistent. , a self-contained system, which is really difficult.

Just like just now, although Meng Qi demonstrated that gods, Buddhas, immortals, saints, princes and generals have a kind of love, on the one hand, he used it as the basis for universal love, but on the other hand, he affirmed the efforts of the ancestors of the princes and nobles, and admitted that they were the descendants of immortals. , is a descendant of a god-man, possesses the legitimacy of rule and a temporarily superior status, and only expresses the "ascending passage".

His face straightened: "Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, everyone has the instinct of self-preservation. It is understandable. When interacting, you must uphold the heart of universal love and conduct it in a way that is beneficial to both. Only if both are beneficial, love both. Only in the long run..."

Meng Qi's words were unpleasant, but Cao He and others felt that they had no time to listen, because every sentence was profound and thought-provoking, but if you taste it carefully, you will miss the following words, and you will almost wish you had ten heads!

It was nearly midnight, and Meng Qi gently struck the bell next to him:

"That's it for today."

Cao He and others quickly stood up, thanked and respectfully sent Mr. Su off. They felt that their souls were satisfied, their spirits were full, they had gained a lot, and they had unprecedented joy.

Just as Cao He was about to leave, he suddenly saw a person standing in the corner next to him. His pupils shrank immediately and his body subconsciously tried to avoid him.

But that person had already seen him and came up to him with a smile: "Brother Cao Xian is also here to listen to Mr. Su's lectures?"

Cao Heqiang smiled and said, "I never expected to meet Mr. Zhou."

This is Zhou Xin, Lord Bole’s counselor, and he actually appears here!

Zhou Xin chuckled and said, "Mr. Su has the world in his heart. He has learned so much that he can carry many carriages. He often talks about great things, how can he not listen?"

"Besides, I am also from a civilian background, and I agree with Mr. Su's words from the bottom of my heart.

Cao He exchanged greetings with him and said goodbye cautiously. After Zhou Xin left the Zhao Mansion, he went straight to Bolejun's mansion.

Agree is approval, but it does not mean support!

Mr. Bole put his hands behind his back and walked slowly. Next to him, Zhou Xin was talking about the Mohist theory he had heard in the past few days.

When it comes to unifying the actions and views of superiors and the leaders adhering to the "unity" of heaven's will, Mr. Bole couldn't help but criticize:

"Okay, okay! They all have great talents, will, cleverness, virtuousness, and unity. They are all in tune with the current situation. I have the idea of ​​not building a tomb and hoping to reach heaven after death. In the past, my ancestors built it. If you have made great achievements and become a god in the flesh, why not pursue great things if you have such financial resources?”

But when Zhou Xin recounted the story of universal love and non-fate, Mr. Bole's face turned slightly gloomy, and he thought to himself: "They are still too unrealistic, with complex people's hearts, endless greed, and the most serious selfish thoughts. What about those in the upper position?" Can you love both? This must be controlled by ghosts, but ghosts and gods also have selfish motives! And no gods have come to earth for many years..."

"But in order to win over talents, recruit people, and fill the fiefdom, it is not impossible to adopt a universal attitude, just like the courtesy and virtuous corporal I am showing now."

He nodded gently and motioned for Zhou Xin to continue.

"Love others all together, and do not use your own selfish interests to start a war that will bring disaster to all living beings..." Zhou Xin said while peeking at Bole Jun.

Sure enough, Mr. Bole's face changed slightly and he said in a deep voice: "It's ridiculous, arrogant, and unrealistic. If you don't attack other countries and plunder people, land, and treasures, how can you strengthen yourself? And if you don't grow stronger, in other countries How can one survive by just "defending" when they are growing stronger? You can ask him tomorrow, how can he make all the princes love each other and not attack? "

This is simply an impossible ideal!

"Yes." Zhou Xin was prepared and remained calm.

…………

The next day, Zhao Heng gave a lecture at Zhao Bai's house.

When it came time to ask questions, Zhou Xin stood up immediately, repeated Bolejun's question, and finally said:

"Please also ask Mr. Zhao to answer my questions."

This problem also made Zhao Bai, Bai Song and others become solemn. Indeed, relying solely on universal love and not attack, unless it can influence everyone, will be in danger when others attack and plunder rapidly.

Zhao Heng frowned. This is the key reason why he has no confidence in Mohist theory. For other content, as long as helpers are entangled to form a force, in order to treat the virtuous corporal and recruit sages, the ambitious and sensible princes or nobles will at least pretend to act. , To implement the move, if it lasts for three months, it will be considered a success.

It seems that only a small country like that can do it... He thought to himself.

Seeing his silence, Zhou Xin said again:

"Please also ask Mr. Zhao to answer my questions."

Zhao Heng racked his brains and thought hard. Just when he wanted to send a message to Meng Qi, the four people who had been listening behind the screen already had the answer.

Meng Qi stood up, stepped out, and said loudly: "We will not fight unless we are attacking or right, but we will not engage in meaningless wars, and we will not destroy the common people for our own benefit.

"To bring benefits to the world and eliminate harm to the world are to 'kill' and 'attack'. Therefore, in the past, King Zhou was unruly and King Wu punished the people for their crimes, which was also 'non-attack'."

"In today's world, disputes among princes are the source of turmoil. If a virtuous king takes it as his own duty to unify the world, eliminate all countries, write with the same text, and drive with the same track, end the troubled times, and restore peace to the world, wouldn't it be 'righteous'?"

Since then, the Mohist theory has finally adapted to the current world of gods!

Isn’t it “righteous” to destroy all the countries and unify the world? Zhou Xin felt his mind buzzing, and could no longer hear any other words. He was in a daze. He didn't know how to leave the Zhao Mansion and pay homage to Mr. Bole.

In today's world, no one has ever had the ambition to dominate the world!

No, it should be said that since the beginning of the country, it has been "natural law" to enfeoff princes!

Mr. Bole was holding a bronze wine cup in his hand. After hearing Zhou Xin's words, his eyes widened, his breathing became thicker, his hands loosened, and the wine cup fell to the ground with a clang.

Destroy all countries and unify the world, with the same writing and the same track?

He suddenly felt a little excited. Even though he had lofty ambitions, in the past he could only think about attracting followers and waiting for the opportunity to become the overlord of the world, just like the "Six Hegemons" before him, or even replace the Zhou royal family and become the emperor, but he never I thought about annihilating all the countries and becoming the true unifier of the world.

Because it has never happened before!

Taking a deep breath, he suddenly felt inexplicable panic, and his face became solemn: "Please ask them to leave Bole tomorrow, and they are not allowed to stay!"

I am still Lord Bole, not the lord of Han. Even if I am the lord of Han, these remarks are the enemy of the world!

Zhou Xin was stunned for a moment. Seeing that his master was firm in attitude, he did not dare to ask any more questions and hurriedly withdrew.

In the quiet room, Mr. Bole pondered for a long time. He suddenly stood up and said to the air: "They have been asking about Huanguo a lot these days. They are afraid that they have the intention to go there, so they dare to speak frankly..."

"I can't use such talents, nor can I let others use them!"

His tone became serious, implying murderous intent: "I am Lord Bole of Corporal Li Xian. It is not convenient for me to do anything about this matter. Please go to the Xiaogan Cave in Yuxu Mountain and ask them to come forward!"

"Yes, Lord." A deep voice sounded inexplicably in the room where no one else was. (A great pie-in-the-sky event, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!
