Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 445 The King of Assassins, Balance Road Everywhere.

Mohism is no longer the Mohism of the past.

In the era of Patriarch Mo Di, the Mohist School was just an academic group. Ten years ago, the Mohist School was torn apart, like a mafia gang.

Now, the Mohists have their own industry, with strong financial resources and numerous masters, and their influence has expanded extremely.

The Mohist School was already a big chaebol in the Warring States period.

In an attic in Xianyang city.

Qin Zhiyong and Shanrou are tasting tea.

Compared with ten years ago, Shanrou's appearance has not changed much. Even though she is almost 30 years old, she still looks like a girl.

It's just that her temperament is more mature and stable.

Qin Zhiyong said: "Shanrou, on the third day of next month, Cao Qiudao will have a sword competition with you, do you have the confidence?"

Shanrou said: "I have confidence. I heard that Cao Qiudao has practiced in seclusion for several years in Qi State, and his martial arts and swordsmanship have reached an unfathomable level. But I believe that I can defeat him."

Qin Zhiyong nodded. As the leader of hundreds of thousands of Mohists, Shanrou's martial arts cultivation level is no longer what it was ten years ago.

Shan Rou is already one of the top powerhouses in the world.

Except for Qin Zhiyong, Shan Rou dared to fight anyone else.

Of course, with the popularization of cultivation techniques, ten years is enough for many geniuses to emerge.As for how many masters are hiding and dormant, no one knows.

Even Qin Zhiyong dare not say that his cultivation is the best in the world.The spiritual realm of Zou Yan and Xunzi is above him.

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "It's good to have confidence. Shanrou, do you still remember what kind of swordsmanship you practice?"

Shanrou said without hesitation: "I, like Mr., have cultivated the way of balance."

Everything in the world is about balance.Whenever the balance is disturbed, problems arise.

Offensive and defensive balance, physical and mental balance, swordsmanship balance.

Balance means that there are no outstanding advantages and no fatal weaknesses.Many people feel that balance is mediocrity.

In the way of cultivating balance, the progress may be slower, but the road will be very stable.

More importantly, there seems to be no bottleneck in Shanrou's way of cultivating balance, and her cultivation is still improving.

Qin Zhiyong said: "In our practice, we must emphasize balance. But society must also emphasize balance. There are some things that should be let go, but you still have to let go. Only by not forgetting the original intention can we go further."

Qin Zhiyong took a sip of tea, stood up, and walked out.

Standing at the door was a young Mohist named Huang Tingjing, a very capable young man who was highly valued by Shanrou.

Qin Zhiyong nodded at Huang Tingjing, and passed him by.

Huang Tingjing walked up to Shanrou and said, "Juzi, is Mr. Qin dissatisfied with us?"

Huang Tingjing could hear Qin Zhiyong's conversation with Shanrou clearly.

Qin Zhiyong wants Shan Rou to let go of something.

put down what?It must be the interests of the Mohists.

Shanrou sighed, and said: "Mr. is not dissatisfied with us. It's just that our Mohist family is too powerful, and everyone is afraid of it. Mr. means that our Mohist family is about to break the balance of society."

Confucianism, Legalism, Physicianism, Farmingism, Yin-Yangism...almost every faction is beginning to crowd out and suppress Mohism.The strength of the Mo family not only makes the Bai family feel afraid, but even Qin Wang Yingzheng is very afraid.

If the Mohists don't give up something, they might really become enemies of the whole world.

afraid?
Shanrou is not afraid.

When she was a weak assassin, she was not afraid of anyone. Now that she is a giant of the Mo family, with extraordinary martial arts, who else would she be afraid of?

But the Mohists did go against their original intentions.

The job of the Mohists is to delve into knowledge, decipher the mysteries of nature, and use technology to benefit the people.The current Mohism has begun to play the role of the court, which is equivalent to seizing power from the monarch.No king can tolerate the existence of such an organization.

Huang Tingjing said: "However, our Mohists did nothing wrong. And we did a good job."

Shanrou took out the Juzi Ling, handed it to Huang Tingjing, and said, "It's because we did so well that something went wrong. Mr. is right, there are some things, and it's time to let go. After the martial arts contest with Cao Qiudao, I I intend to let you, Huang Tingjing, take over the position of Mohist giant."

Huang Tingjing was excited in his heart, but he said on his mouth: "Juzi, I... can I really do it?"

Shanrou said: "Your heart, talent, and ability are all superior to mine. I can be a Mohist giant, why can't you? From now on, I will stay in the university permanently, study and practice, study technology, and apply the Mohist practice The Tao will be passed on. The affairs of the Mo family will depend on you."

Rights can be replaced, and knowledge and wisdom are the most powerful and precious things.The position of Mohism is to delve into knowledge and acquire wisdom, rather than chasing power.

The Mohists did not intend to overthrow the imperial court and become their own monarch.Then don't be an enemy of the monarch.

Qin Zhiyong's state of seeking Tao is what Mohists really yearn for.

…………

Cao Qiudao came to Xianyang City. He was wearing coarse clothes and had almost nothing on his body except a sharp long sword.

Beside him was a teenager in his teens.

Cao Qiudao said: "Jing Ke, let's go to the wine shop to have something to eat, and then we will stay at an inn."

The young man named Jing Ke said happily: "Master, this disciple is already hungry."

The two entered the wine shop.

While eating, Jing Ke said, "Master, have you really won the Mohist giant?"

Shanrou, the giant of the Mohist school, is recognized as one of the strongest swordsmen even though she is a woman.In Jing Ke's view, it is really unwise to compete swords with the giants of the Mohist school.

Jing Ke has often heard about the deeds of the Mohist family since he was a child, and he has some instinctive awe of the giant Mohist family.

Jing Ke had met Mohists before, those Mohist were rich, and even the government had to give them three points of courtesy.And my master is just an ordinary swordsman, how can he compare with the Mohist giant?
The name of "Sword Saint" Cao Qiudao is rarely mentioned.If it weren't for the newspaper's publicity this time, few people would think of Cao Qiudao.

A young man like Jing Ke has almost never heard of Cao Qiudao's name, and he has no idea that Cao Qiudao represented a pinnacle of swordsmanship and led an era.

Cao Qiudao said: "Shanrou is very powerful, but she is by no means a match for this old man. Huh, Mohist giant? Soon she won't be."

Jing Ke has a very strong talent for swordsmanship. When Cao Qiudao met him for the first time, he decided to accept him as his disciple.

According to Cao Qiudao's judgment, Jing Ke has the hope of becoming the "King of Assassins" in the future.And Jing Ke did not disappoint Cao Qiudao, he reached the realm of the unity of human and sword at a young age.

In addition, after Jing Ke practiced health preservation skills, his future achievements in martial arts and swordsmanship are immeasurable.

Jing Ke didn't believe that Cao Qiudao could win.But he couldn't say that with his mouth.

Jing Ke nodded and said: "I also want Master to win. If Master can become a Mohist giant, I will definitely have endless money in the future, and I can buy whatever I want."

Cao Qiudao is not short of money, he has a lot of savings.

But Cao Qiudao is now living a life of asceticism.The life of poverty and self-discipline and practice have raised Cao Qiudao's cultivation to several levels.On the surface, Cao Qiudao looks like the real Mohist, he is too frugal.

In order to improve his cultivation and become a Mohist giant, Cao Qiudao has made great changes in the past ten years.As long as he can defeat Shanrou and become the master of the Mohist school, Cao Qiudao feels that everything he has paid is worth it.

　The second one is at night.
