Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 431 The Origin of ‘Dragon’
  After the Six-fingered Black Man's narration, Gu Xun finally understood the relationship between the Mo family and the Yin-Yang family, but it sounded like... it didn't seem to be very different from what he had guessed!

"So...why did Senior Mozi form a deadly feud with the Yin Yang family?" Gu Xun opened his hands and asked curiously.

"...Haha, this..." Six-fingered Black Man chuckled softly and replied vaguely, "I don't know either."

"Three hundred years have passed, and the beginning of the old grudges has long since disappeared. All that is left is the inevitable fight, but... as far as I know, it is a dispute started by Patriarch Mo Zhai."

Interestingly, according to what Six Finger Black Man said, it was the Yin Yang family that Mozi took the initiative to provoke... As the founder of the Mo family, he advocated universal love and non-aggression, why did he take the initiative to provoke trouble?
  "Mozi's move... doesn't seem to be in line with his philosophy of founding the Mohist school?"

"Haha, as a younger generation, I don't understand the situation that Patriarch Mo Zhai is facing, and I have no way of knowing why he did what he did, but..." The six-fingered black man was mid-sentence, then changed his tone, "As a giant of the Moh family, I believe that Mo Zhai Patriarch Zhai’s actions must have their own meaning and are definitely not personal vendettas.”

"The Mohist giants of all dynasties believed this, and this is also the fundamental reason why this grudge has lasted for more than three hundred years and continues to this day."

"Well..." Gu Xun nodded, and that was the end of the question.

The Six-Fingered Black Man definitely concealed part of the content, but at least the part he said was true.

"So, you just asked me if I... covet Canglong Qisu. I wonder what your Mo family's attitude towards Canglong Qisu is? Don't you believe it, or... you also want it?"

"...The Mo family believes in the secrets and power contained in Canglong Qisu, but the Mo family will not pursue it." The Six-fingered Black Man pondered for a moment before replying.

Then, before Gu Xun could ask why, he began to explain:
  "Pros and cons, gains and losses, will take their own course. I... and the Mohist giants of the past dynasties all believe in the power of Canglong Qisu, but they do not believe that there is power without any price in the world. Therefore, the Mohist family has always believed in Canglong Qisu."

Although the words spoken by the Six-fingered Black Man were conclusive, Gu Xun felt that the most false sentence the other party said after entering the door was probably the current sentence.

The Mo family definitely stayed away from Canglong Qisu...

At this time, Gu Xun suddenly thought of an interesting point and asked bluntly, "Is the dispute between Senior Mozi and the Yin Yang family because of Canglong Qisu?"

"Haha." The six-fingered black man was stunned for a moment after hearing this question, and then smiled softly. Under the black robe, his eleven fingers were pressed together without answering.

He had just said that he didn't know the grudge between Mo Zhai and the Yin Yang family. No matter whether Gu Xun's guess was right or not, he would not answer.

But an ambiguous attitude is sometimes enough to explain the problem.

So... Mozi is probably because of the grudge between Canglong Qisu and the Yinyang family. So for what reason... they compete with each other, or...

Gu Xun looked at the black gauze on the face of the six-fingered black man and remained silent, thinking wildly in his mind.

At this time, the Six-fingered Black Man also put his hands on the table and said proactively:

"Since Mr. Gu is quite interested in Canglong Qisu, I think you will ask me about it, so let me confess it first." "There are very few things recorded and circulated about Canglong Qisu within the Mohist family..." ,rare!"

The Six-Fingered Black Man used two little words to emphasize, and then made a guarantee:

"Oh, I can assure Mr. Gu that this is no lie. Canglong Qisu is an absolute secret within the Mo family. Ordinary disciples, including the leader, have no right to know the relevant content. Their understanding of it is basically limited to this legend. Some superficial information, as well as any slightly confidential content, have only been passed down by word of mouth among the giants of the past generations."

"So, Juzi should know a lot!" Gu Xun squinted his eyes and sighed cheerfully. The implication was that he should say more valuable things and not hide them.

"Haha." Liuzhi smiled, not knowing whether he heard Gu Xun's hidden meaning, and began to speak slowly, "The so-called Canglong Qisu is the Qinglong Qisu of the East, and its root cannot be separated from the word 'dragon'. .”

"During the reign of the Three Emperors in ancient times, the Xihuang Fuxi clan, the head of the Three Emperors and the forerunner of all kings, unified the Xia tribes for the first time, established their capital in Chen, and enshrined Mount Tai. Then they took the characteristics of all beasts and assembled them to create the dragon totem. This is also the earliest source that I know that Canglong Qisu can trace back."

As soon as the Six-fingered Black Man started talking, Gu Xun frowned, "Wait a minute, you mean the 'dragon' totem was created by Fuxi?"

"Mr. Gu, what's the problem?" Six-fingered Black Man saw his appearance and couldn't help but ask sideways.

"There are indeed some problems." Gu Xun nodded, "As far as I know, the 'dragon' totem was created by the Yellow Emperor after he defeated Chi You and unified the tribes in the world, and combined them with the original animal-shaped totems of the tribes. How come it was created by Fuxi again?"

Gu Xun actually didn't understand the origin of the Chinese totem image of 'dragon'. He didn't know who created this magical image before. The theory of Busan's conformity that he now knows is actually the one in the volume "Canglong" record.

He still believed in the contents of that volume, so he questioned it at this time.

"Haha." Regarding Gu Xun's objection, Six Finger Black Man was not in a hurry to refute, but nodded, agreeing with this statement to a certain extent, "Busan is consistent. This is also a statement, and it may not be true."

"Thousands of years have passed since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period. Everything is a legend. It is difficult to tell whether it is true or false. What I am talking about is only what the Mohist family has passed down from generation to generation. As for whether it is the truth of the past, Mr. Gu has to decide for himself. .”

"Okay! Okay!" Gu Xun shook his head and accepted the Six-Fingered Black Man's statement. There was indeed nothing wrong with what he said. Then he stretched out his hand and said, "Please continue talking, you master."

"Then I will continue." The six-fingered black man nodded briefly and continued, "According to the stories told by the great masters of the previous generation, Fuxi's so-called creation of the dragon totem was actually the creation of the Canglong Qisu."

"Huang Xi restrained some kind of great power in the world and made it into the so-called powerful Canglong Qisu, which was passed down. Of course, it was probably not called that at first."

"As for what this power is, its shape, quality, and its expression, no one should know it now, and I don't know either."

"The only reliable guess I know is that this power may be related to the stars in the sky, so it will be called Canglong Qisu after it has been passed down to this day!"
