Chapter 375
Guigu, several years have passed since the last crisis of the Wei Kingdom's Earth Vein Crack, but now Guigu is closed, because with the increasing number of wars and the degree of tragedy, walking around the world has become a high-risk job. There are many people killed in Guigu's Xuanyi. Not to mention continuing to approach science, just rushing to the road may be killed by bandits.
In such a harsh environment, Guigu decided to seal the door.
This is a difficult decision, because Guigu was established for nearly 150 years and was originally established to protect the human race. Now the human race is in chaos, Guigu is trying to protect itself. The best way to protect itself is to close the mountain gate and be self-sufficient. Guigu is located in a mountain valley. The terrain is flat, the mountain springs are winding, the land is fertile, and the chickens and dogs are heard from each other. It is no problem to avoid the war and develop yourself.
But this decision is more or less contrary to the spirit of the establishment of Guigu. After all, the world is in chaos, so shouldn't Guigu be more upset? Isn't this behavior of closing the mountain gate and drawing the ground into a prison just to refuse to save it? Some Xuanyi believes that it should not be closed, but should actively enter the world.
But Xuanyi, who supported the closed mountain gate, asked how peace is in the world? He didn't know how to do it to make peace. Confucius proposed to restrain himself and restore rituals but made no achievements. The war continued and there was no hope at all. Their Xuanyi was just a piece of firewood. If he threw himself into the world, he would only be burned clean, rather than stopping the war.
Xuanyi, who opposed the closing of the mountain gate, was also silent. They could not find any way out for peace, but if they did nothing, wouldn’t there be no way out? “You can’t do nothing?”
"Ghost Valley is not a country, its strength is limited. If you really force yourself into troubled times, I am afraid that the power of Ghost Valley will be exhausted before the world is peaceful. If so, who can still protect the human race and the immortals to fight?" Xuan Yi, who supported the sealed gate, said something reasonable.
In fact, both sides make sense. If you want peace, you must actively enter the world, but actively joining the world does not mean that you will be peaceful in the world. *******, I must succeed. Facing the huge proposition of peace in the world, only the people of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, including the hundreds of schools of thought, can only have hope. Perhaps many people will never see the answer in their lives, or perhaps many people will fall in the darkness before the dawn of great unification, but even so, the proposition of peace in the world has been placed in front of everyone, and no human race can survive alone.
Guigu has such a fierce debate because he came up with the opposite answer when facing the proposition.
Close the mountain gate, this is the path to the hermit. Actively entering the world is the path to the world.
We cannot say who is right or wrong, because only time is the final referee.
Guigu Xuanyi made a different choice. Fortunately, Cao Mo was still alive, so he decided to close the mountain gate with the final say. No one could object, otherwise the division of Guigu would be inevitable.
After Confucius' death, Confucianism was eight points; after Mozi's death, Mo family was three points. There was Cao Mo in Guigu, so there was no division.
The two major schools that were born first proposed different answers to the propositions, leading to the division of the school. This is the price that exploration has to pay, and new answers and new ideas were born in these collisions.
Lu State, Zhucheng.
A group of young men wearing straw sandals entered it in a dusty manner. The strong man in the lead was thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a straight facial features and a very grand style.
"Giant, do you really believe that there are unique Confucian disciples living here?" The group of people were carrying long swords, with hemp ropes as belts, rolled up their sleeves and trouser legs, and their skin was dark. At a glance, they knew that they were all workers who often bask in the sun.
The title of Juzi proves that this group of people is the Mohist school, but the newly established Mohist school. Three months ago, Mo Di officially took a group of classmates to break away from the boastful Confucian school and established the Mohist school, making a name for both love and benevolence. Now they come to Zhucheng just to find the legendary Confucians.
It is said that there is a special Confucian scholar in Zhucheng. Although he is a Confucian scholar, he is proficient in skills and a skilled craftsman. The new Mohist school is in need of outstanding talents, so the giant Mozhai is eager to seek talent and hopes to let this powerful join his Mohist school.
Zhucheng is the most prosperous city in Lu State, located on a major transportation road, with goods distribution, merchants' exchanges, and all industries are prosperous.
"I don't think that Confucian disciples are good at talking big and have many opinions on exaggerating facts, but there are not necessarily powerful people." Modi's disciples look down on Confucian scholars. Although they were also Confucian scholars three months ago, they left Confucian scholars because they looked down on Confucian scholars and others.
"Just ask, you will know." Mo Zhai said calmly.
After inquiring, I soon learned about the address of this powerful man, one of Zhu He's boatmen.
Zhuhe is already a lively water transport route, with a large number of boat people, and Mozhai and the others are looking for boat people Mo Wei, who is also quite famous among boat people and likes to tinker with some weird things.
When they found Mo Wei's home, they found that the yard was full of carpenters' tools. Mo Zhai felt very friendly because before he became a disciple, he was also a carpenter and his craftsmanship was pretty good. However, when they were studying in Confucianism, they could not mention craftsmanship, but now when they established the Mohist school, everyone would discuss craftsmanship skills when they had time, rather than the six rituals and music arts.
Of course, the Mohist disciples also shoot arrows and fencing swords, but they rarely talk about the Book of Songs and the Book of Changes and emphasize technology.
"A few nobles want to cross the river?" Mo Wei was very young, in his early twenties. He saw a group of people standing at his door with a polite smile.
If Yun Yao was here, she would definitely shout out that what is Lingbao Taoist doing? Did she copy her personality?
That's right, the Taoist Lingbao is Mo Wei, he is copying Yunyao's character. He wants to see what Yunyao can be valued by the way of heaven. So after Confucius passed away, the Taoist Lingbao came to Zhucheng and learned from Yunyao to become a boatman. While traveling between the north and the south, he studied and pondered the messy instruments, and even brought some names to Mozi.
When Taoist Lingbao saw Mo Zi, he felt that his luck seemed to have returned and he seemed to have some enlightenment in his heart. It seems that learning Yunyao took root at the grassroots level of the human race and learned human race skills was indeed in line with the way of heaven.
Mo Zi bowed to Mo Wei and said, "We are not going to cross the river, but to visit strange people." Seeing various works in the yard, Mo Zi knew that Mo Wei was the talent he was looking for, and said modestly: "Can you ask me to come in and talk?"
"What's wrong?" Mo Wei opened the door and invited Mo Zi and his group to come in.
At this time, Mozi had just founded the Mo family, and there were only a few Mo people under him, which was very shabby, but he was full of confidence. He believed that benevolence and love were not good, and that six arts were not good, skills were not good.
Both sides sat down and the room was full. But it was only April and I didn't feel hot.
Mo Zhai asked straight to the point: "Do you dare to ask if you are a Confucian scholar?"
"Learn some of the learning of self-restraint and regaining rituals."
"Then why do you still have to do carpenter work? Shouldn't Confucian scholars seek official positions?"
Mo Wei said: "The world is in chaos, and it cannot be solved by being an official."
"Why don't you promote benevolence?" Mo Zi continued to ask.
Mo Wei replied: "Who is not kind to you today? But you just try it out and stay with the people around you, and it will be difficult for you to be kind to the people in the world."
