Chapter VIII The Giant Accepts Apprentices

"So, which country do you want to help unify the world after you have learned martial arts well?" the old man continued to ask.

"Of course it's Qin!" Ziying replied immediately. Although he is now in the capital of Zhao, he even lives in the mansion of the general of Zhao. However, from the understanding of the identity of the old man and Sima Shang, Ziying is no longer afraid of them and speaks out his thoughts openly.

Because Ziying knew that Momen was only opposed to war, and hoped to create a stable and peaceful world, not a certain country.

"Why do you want to help Qin? Is it because you are from Qin and your uncle is the monarch of Qin?" the old man smiled indifferently and continued to ask.

Ziying thought for a moment and thought about what sentences fit the tone of his age and said: "I heard from my father that the Wei State in South Korea has been crippled by Qin, which is not worth worrying. The king of Zhao favors singing girls, closes on villains and alienates wise ministers and generals. Although Chu is very uneven, after Han, Zhao and Wei are pacified, they can defeat the soldiers of the whole country. However, Yan State is too weak. Qi State only wants to protect itself and will never take the opportunity to attack Qin. When the rest of the countries are destroyed, it will definitely be difficult to protect them."

Moreover, I heard from my father that since the reform of Shangjun, my country's power has become stronger and stronger, and it has both the finest soldiers and sufficient food. If I can unify the world, who else can besides Qin? If I learn martial arts well, of course I have to assist Qin."

If a two-year-old child said such reasons, others would definitely not believe it. They could only push all the words onto their father's head. "If I go to other countries to fight against Qin, wouldn't I use eggs to touch the stones?"

"What a saying to touch the stone with an egg." After hearing Ziying's words, the old man seemed a little unable to control his emotions. He was clearly smiling but tears were flowing. "It turns out that I was running around for half my life, but I kept touching the stone with an egg with an egg."

"It's a pity that I have lived for most of my life, and finally the loess is almost buried in my neck before I understand this truth.

I claim to be astronomy and geography, but it is hard to understand the ancient and modern times. It is difficult for anyone to understand. I never thought about it, but I saw it better than Raoyang Jun. Such a smart person must have something to do if he rebels from Qin and joins Zhao. Is this the heaven going to destroy the six eastern countries?" After a slight pause, the old man sighed sadly: "I have accepted your disciple! From today on, you will be my closed disciple of Gai Nie."

After hearing the old man's words, Ziying's first reaction was to make a fortune!

This is Gai Nie, who is the best in the world in the Warring States Period. Jing Ke, who assassinated the King of Qin, is considered to be a master of martial arts. Gai Nie stared at him and ran away in a piss.

This is really a great fortune!

"You go and call Sima Shang over. I will ask him if I have something to do and I will give you a teacher's ceremony!"

After hearing Gai Nie's words, Ziying pulled Sima Jingjing and rushed to Sima Shang's office. She didn't bother to explain the reason, but only said that Grandpa Gai Nie told us to let you go, and dragged Sima Shang to the small courtyard of the back house.

After Sima Shang arrived, he heard that Gai Nie wanted to accept Ziying as his disciple, so he immediately petrified him at the scene.

He stammered: "I shouldn't have said anything about the Giant Zi want to accept disciples, but Ziying is a royal family in the Qin State. How can he be passed on to my Mo Sect? And according to the news from our Mozhe in Qin State, Chang'an Jun Cheng Chuang has a close relationship with the King of Qin. We suspect that Chang'an Jun has another hidden story about rebellion against Zhao, how can we..."

"I know what you said. Another thing I asked you to come here today is that from now on, my Momen will no longer resist Qin. If the war is intensified, I can even help the Qin army to wipe out the six countries." Sima Shang was interrupted by Gai Nie before he finished speaking.

After hearing Gai Nie's next words, Sima Shang was so shocked that his eyes widened. His facial muscles twitched several times, swallowed a deep mouthful of saliva, and could not speak.

Compared with this order, the matter of accepting Ziying as a disciple is nothing.

After hearing Sima Shang's name, Ziying finally figured out the identity of the old man. A contemporary Mohist master!

Compared with the other schools of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Mohist school has a significant difference. The organizational structure of the Mohist school is more like a modern party organization, but has a tighter control. Its supreme leader is called a giant, and the members of the school are called Mohists.

Because it mainly represents the rights and interests of small and medium-sized masses and handicraftsmen, it became famous for a while during the Warring States Period. Even the sub-saint Mencius once said that "the words of the world do not belong to Yang (Yang Zhu, a representative figure of Taoism) will belong to Mo (Mozi)", which shows how widely the Mohist thought was spread. At that time, the Mohist even had its own armed forces and laws and regulations.

Lu Jia's "New Words? Siwu" says: "Mozi's disciples have many warriors." There is also a record in "Huainanzi: Taishang" that "Mozi served a hundred and eighty people, all of whom could go to the fire and go to the blade, and never return to death, which was caused by transformation." It can be seen that the Momen's control over the disciples is so strong.

As Ziying knows, the Mo people at this stage are mainly divided into several parts. Some are handicraftsmen in society, and the main inheritance is Mo Zi's theory of mechanisms and mathematics; some are wanderers in society. These people can be said to be very skilled in martial arts and are the main source of the Mo family's armed forces; the other part is scattered in various countries to serve the monarchs of various countries and spread the Mo family's opinions, such as Sima Shang.

Seeing Sima Shang being shocked and silent, Gai Nie continued: "I have been bumping for half my life, claiming to be upholding the right way to support the weak and force the strong. It was not until today that I realized that everything I did was just to add countless lonely souls in this world."

"For hundreds of years after the King of Zhou lost his power, the Central Plains were in war. All countries ignored the devastation of their own interests. If the heroes continued to stand together, the war would never end. Therefore, our Momen will no longer go upstream from today and reach the edge of Qin."

After hearing Gai Nie's words, Sima Shang was stunned. After all, he was also an old man in his fifties. Everything he had done for most of his life was suddenly reversed and he couldn't react at once.

However, it is not unreasonable to savor what Gai Nie said. The world is suffering. If such a situation of separatist rule of heroes continues to be maintained, the war will probably not stop in the future. Unless one of the countries sweeps the world, the hatred accumulated over hundreds of years of war will be difficult to eliminate. Then the pursuit of one and others will never be achieved.

Thinking of this, Sima Shang let out a long sigh, as if he had put down some burden, and said firmly: "The Ink Master Sima Shang received the order."

Gai Nie nodded slightly and continued, "Today I want to accept Ziying as my disciple, so you can come here to testify!"

While speaking, Gai Nie walked towards his cottage and muttered: "I hope today's decision will make the world no longer chaotic and promote my Momen."
