Xiao Weng said in a low voice: "The bloody disaster means that someone will die here tonight!"
"Bold!" Sima Changshen shouted again and said angrily: "Father, this person is speaking without hesitation. He is really bold. I beg my father to send someone to drag him down immediately."
King Huainan said coldly: "Xiao Weng, you said someone will die here tonight, but you don't know who will die here?"
The banquet, which was originally a joyful one, now had a chilling air.
"Since Lord Zhongyi won't let me talk too much, it's better for me not to talk too much." Xiao Weng sighed: "Those who deserve to die will naturally die, and those who deserve to live will naturally live. It's hard for man to defeat God!"
The loyal marquis he spoke of was naturally Sima Changshen, who had just been granted the title of Jin by the Jin Dynasty not long ago.
Duan Shao also smiled and said: "You don't have to be angry, Lord Zhongyi. Since this old man has the ability to see into the yin and yang, and he also said that someone will suffer a bloody disaster tonight, we might as well listen to who will suffer a bloody disaster. This old man is a capable person. Maybe we can still solve this disaster.”
Although he was smiling, his eyes were already very cold.
"Pretend to be a ghost, Prince, don't pay attention to this man's crazy words." Sima Changshen cupped his hands to Duan Shao and said: "Tonight's banquet is for the guests and the host to have a good time, and we can't let this kind of magician spoil the mood."
"No, no, no." Duan Shao waved his hand and said, "Actually, I am very curious and want to hear this wise man's opinions." He said to Sima Lan, "My lord, I hope it will be fulfilled."
Sima Lan sighed and said: "Your Highness, I didn't know that Xiao Weng would say such alarmist words, which is a big surprise. However, since Your Highness is interested, you can let him speak."
Qi Ning was calm and composed, looking at it with a sneer in his heart.
In fact, everyone present knew in their hearts that Xiao Weng was just a charlatan. Even if they gave him ten courages, they would not dare to speak freely on such an occasion. If Xiao Weng had such courage, it was natural that there was someone behind the scenes. The person who instigated him was, of course, Sima Lan and his son.
It's just that everyone still couldn't understand for a while what the purpose of Sima Lan and his son using Xiao Weng to pretend to be gods and ghosts.
Duan Shao said with a smile: "Weng Xiao, since the Duke has spoken, there is no need to worry." He seemed very calm, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then asked: "You said you saw the evil ghost, where did you come from? Speaking of?"
However, Xiao Weng deliberately turned his ear and did not speak immediately, as if he was listening to who was saying something. All the officials around him were curious. Wuxiang Hou Su Zhen did not speak for a long time. At this time, he couldn't help himself and asked: "Xiao Weng, What are you doing?"
However, Xiao Weng raised a finger and shouted "Shh", actually telling everyone to be quiet. Some officials were a little annoyed, thinking to themselves that this lowly warlock was really brave, and he dared to do this at a banquet filled with high-ranking officials. Presumptuous, if he had not known that Sima Lan was the backer behind Xiao Weng, he would have attacked him immediately.
It's just that this old man is playing tricks, but the surroundings are also quiet.
After a moment, I saw the old man nodding slightly, as if talking to himself or talking to others: "I know, I know, I understand your injustice now. You will die with your eyes in peace. After tonight , I can naturally live in peace."
Su Zhen asked curiously: "Xiao Weng, who are you talking to?"
"The wronged souls lingering in this pavilion." Xiao Weng said: "There are three wronged souls here. They are rushing to express their grievances. I can only listen to them."
"Xiao Weng, you said that there are innocent souls who are complaining to you. I wonder what they are talking about?" Duan Xuan asked.
The old man sighed and said, "I guess I got some clues from what they said to each other." He murmured, "They are diligent in their lives, poor in their deaths, and their ways are great. It makes people worry and makes them sad." , His behavior is difficult. I am afraid that he will not be able to follow the way of a saint, and will be against the world, and the world will be unbearable. If he is away from the world, he will be far away from the king...!"
Qi Ning felt baffled when he heard what the god Xiao Weng said. However, King Huainan was shocked and lost his voice: "This... This is an article in "Zhuangzi: The World", Xiao Weng, you have something to do with the Mohist family. What does it matter?"
Qi Ning was suddenly startled. Most of the officials in the venue were poets and writers. Many people had already heard the origin of the words that the gods were talking about. However, Qin Ning did not understand that the King of Huainan would suddenly mention it. Mohist family.
Although he did not read the classics and history like everyone here, he also knew that the Mohist school was one of the hundreds of schools of thought. Among the hundreds of schools of thought in the pre-Qin period, Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, and Legalism had the most profound influence.
The historical trajectory of this time and space is different from the historical trajectory that Qi Ning is familiar with. He vaguely remembered that during the Han Dynasty, hundreds of schools of thought were deposed to only respect Confucianism. The grand event of the hundreds of schools of thought in the pre-Qin period was no longer seen, and many schools of thought were annihilated since then. In history, the Mohist family is also one of them.
The Mohist theoretical system is secular and advocates universal love, non-aggression, respect for the virtuous, respect for unity, non-fate, and non-happiness. The only mysterious thing in Mohist thought is the belief in the existence of gods and ghosts and the use of this to encourage good deeds.
"Mo Family?" Su Zhen said in surprise: "Your Majesty, you mean... this guy has something to do with the Moh Family? Didn't the Moh Family disappear long ago? How can the Moh Family still exist in this world?"
King Huainan just snorted but did not explain.
Duan Shao also nodded slightly and said: "Xiao Weng's words are Zhuangzi's comments about Mohism. Xiao Weng suddenly mentioned this article, so it is naturally related to Mohism. Xiao Weng, could it be those people who are talking to you? Is your evil ghost related to the Mohist family? However, what Wu Xianghou said is true. The Mohist family has long since disappeared, and the Mohist family no longer exists in the world. Could it be that the ghost who is talking to you is the Mohist ghost from hundreds of years ago?"
He said it seriously, but the last two sentences made people feel a little bit ridiculous.
"The Mohist family has passed away, but the Mohist family still exists!" Xiao Weng said slowly: "My lords, a few wrongdoers told me a story, but I wonder if you are willing to listen to it?"
Duan Shao said with a smile: "I love listening to stories the most, but I have never heard stories told by wronged ghosts. Tell me quickly."
At this moment, everyone here has a clear mind, knowing that the evil spirit ghost mentioned by Xiao Weng is pure nonsense, and it is nothing more than using the words of ghosts and gods to stir up trouble here, but at the moment, they still don’t know who they are targeting tonight. Go, some people know that there will be a good show to watch tonight, but they feel uneasy and secretly think that if there is really trouble, they must not find themselves.
Xiao Weng pondered for a moment and then said: "Among the hundreds of schools of thought in the pre-Qin Dynasty, the Mohist family is one of them. They are ascetic and selfless, loving all without attacking. Mohist disciples have firm beliefs and strict discipline. They only want to stop fighting in the world and not attack. They are passionate, but There is no ambition. The world is unified, and any court is not afraid of greedy villains, but is afraid of sages and gentlemen. The Mohist family is selfless and has a strict organization. Any unified court will be afraid of the existence of the Mohist family."
Everyone here understands this clearly.
Among the hundreds of schools of thought, the four schools of Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, and Legalism have the greatest influence. But to this day, among the four schools, except for the Mohist school, the other three schools still exist in the world. Both Confucianism and Taoism have retreated from the world. , but they were submissive to the secular court and did not pose a threat to the court. On the contrary, they could help stabilize the country and naturally survive. The Legalists were even more tolerated by the court and became part of the court, while the Mohists' self-awareness and strict organization , will never be tolerated in any court, and its idea of eliminating violence and ensuring peace has become a model of "violating prohibitions with force", which is also one of the important reasons why it is difficult to survive.
"The Mohist family has long since died out. This means that the Mohist family no longer exists in the world." Xiao Weng said slowly: "But the inheritance of the Mohist family has not been cut off. At least today, there are still a few people who still continue it. .”
King Huainan's lips moved slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"Although the Mohist disciples who have been passed down have never been involved in the secular world, they still abide by the sect's rules." Xiao Weng's voice seemed to be vague: "The Mohist disciples in the past generations still led the Mohist disciples to continue the Mohist sect, but they have no longer Return to its former prosperity.”
"Sixteen years ago, Juzi of the Mohist family was seriously ill, and he wanted to select a worthy person to pass on the Juzi Order." Xiao Weng said: "Juzi had four disciples at that time, and he wanted to pass on the Juzi Order to his next disciples."
Duan Shao suddenly said: "Xiao Weng, it is said that the Juzi Ling is the most precious treasure of the Mohist family. The person who obtains the Juzi Ling will not only have the position of Juzi, but also the most exquisite martial arts of the Mohist family is hidden in the Juzi Ling, including a set of swordsmanship." , called Mozi’s sword technique, it is rumored to be unpredictable, mysterious and magical, but no one in the world has ever seen it.”
"His Royal Highness is indeed very knowledgeable." Xiao Weng said calmly, "Mozi's swordsmanship is indeed the first-class swordsmanship of the Mohist family. All the great princes of the past dynasties can learn Mozi's swordsmanship from the Juzi Order. Therefore, Juzi’s passing on to his second disciple is not only passing on Juzi’s position to him, but also passing on Mozi’s swordsmanship.”
"As expected." Duan Shao nodded slightly and said with emotion: "It's a pity that I have never seen Mozi's swordsmanship. If I could see it, I would have no regrets in this life."
The King of Huainan said calmly: "Xiao Weng, has that great son succeeded in passing the throne?"
"Of course not." Xiao Weng said: "The day of passing on the throne has not yet come, Juzi's second disciple suddenly disappeared mysteriously, and his whereabouts are unknown. Juzi's condition is serious, and he has no choice but to pass on the Juzi Order to his third disciple."
Qi Ning suddenly said at this time: "Could it be that the three disciples also suddenly disappeared?"
"That's right." Xiao Weng said: "Juzi's three disciples suddenly disappeared just before the throne was passed on, which was very strange. Juzi knew that something was wrong, so he no longer chose the time, but found the youngest disciple and asked him to Ju Zi Ling was passed down, and the moment Ju Zi Ling appeared, Ju Zi's first disciple suddenly appeared and unexpectedly attacked Ju Zi's young disciple from behind. Ju Zi was seriously ill and wanted to save Ju Zi Ling but failed. Ju Zi's first disciple He wanted to stab Juzi to death, but was blocked by the dying Juzi's disciple. Juzi's first disciple took the Juzi Order, heard the sound of footsteps, worried about being caught, and ran away in a hurry...!"
Duan Shao frowned and said: "So, the leader of the Juzi betrayed the Momen and was so greedy for profit that he robbed the Juzi Order and left the Momen." After a pause, he asked: "Xiao Weng, you said you are here today? Could it be that the three innocent souls in this pavilion who are complaining to you are the three sons of Momen who were killed by Juzi’s leader?”
Xiao Weng nodded slightly and said: "Juzi's young disciple blocked Juzi's sword and died, but Juzi survived because of it. Juzi was so angry that his heart and blood flowed backwards, and he almost died at that time, but the sky net was restored, and the old man God did not let him die, but allowed him to survive. At that time, he was paralyzed and could not move. He could not get out of bed for ten years. He was blind in one eye, and his vision was blurry in one eye, but he still had it. A glimmer of sight.”
Many people frowned, but when they saw the old man raised his hand and slowly took off the bamboo hat on his head, everyone saw clearly that the old man had white hair, was extremely old, his face was full of wrinkles, and his right eye Only the whites of his eyes were left, and he was obviously blind. However, his left eye was narrowed to a slit, and he still seemed to be able to see.
In an instant, everyone understood, Su Zhen lost his voice and said: "You... you are the great son of the Mo family!"
