Chapter 30: A Hundred Crafts and Crops Are Not Villains (4)
Although the six fingers are young, they can still hear the solemnity in the fowl's words.
This fowl listened to many words of Six Fingers, and although she liked it, she immediately became very alert when she heard a yellow-haired child like Six Fingers faintly calling himself an ink person.
The Ring of the Ink Writer, do not force others to become the Ink Artist with favor, those who do not understand the Ink are not allowed to call the Ink Artist indiscriminately, and those who are young even if their biological father is the Ink Person, they must not force their sons to believe in the faith of the Mo family.
Having said so much before, Yu Huali praised the "suitable brother" in the child's mouth, but when he heard that such a young man with six fingers actually called himself an ink man, he suddenly became vigilant, for fear that someone would use the name of the ink man to fall into the righteousness of the ink person.
He has grown old and rarely acted in person, so those younger Mo masters are only Mo Zhai's chief disciples because of the bird slippery, and they are kind all day long, and rarely get angry.
But those older ink scholars knew that this old man, who usually looked like a family man with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, was not what ordinary people thought, and the sword in his hand did not know how many lives he had killed.
The first few disciples Mo Zhai accepted only knew that this eldest brother had a blood feud, and that the Confucianism was not the pedantic Confucianism he learned, but the Confucianism of Zixia who learned.
I think that Qi Aigong was slandered by Ji Hou in front of Zhou Tianzi for three years, which finally led to Qi Aigong being thrown into a big country by Zhou Tianzi and cooked.
At that time, Zhou Tianzi still had authority, and the Qi State did not dare to resent Zhou Tianzi, so he had to hold a grudge against Ji Hou who was slanderous, and finally after several generations, the Qi State finally killed the Ji State after it became strong.
This Ji country was also a big country at that time, it was a marquis, surnamed Jiang, Jiang Ziya had already existed before Jiang Ziya took refuge in King Wen of Zhou, and it was an important support point for Yin Shang in the Shandong Peninsula.
Idioms such as the stupid wooden chicken, the golden pot Danshu and other clever tricks are all derived from this ancient country.
There is also a legendary marksman who is as famous as Yoyuki and others, and it is said that Ji Chang, who is said to lie on the yarn spindle of his wife's spinning thread and practice his eyes, and finally see the lice on the tail of the ox, and see the lice as big as a mountain.
As a result, there was no golden pot Danshu tricks but did not use it, and finally after the ninth generation, the Qi State finally took revenge and destroyed the Ji State.
If it is those pedantic Confucians, they will definitely feel that it is really inappropriate for the Qi State to destroy the record, after all, at that time, blood revenge only lasted for five generations, and even if there was a feud after five generations, it could not be regarded as blood revenge. Moreover, it is really an ancient rite to cut off the sacrifice, and the king of Wu of Zhou destroyed Yin Shang and had to divide the three kes to inherit the sacrifices of Xia, Yu and Shang.
Kezi Xia Zhiru thinks that this blood revenge, not to mention five generations, even a hundred generations is worth advocating.
Whoever insults you and kills your ancestors, you have to kill their entire family to be considered in accordance with Confucian righteousness.
In Zixia Zhiru's opinion, for the Inurong and other clans who invaded Haojing, there is no need to tell them any etiquette, and it is true to be in line with etiquette to kill the heirs and exterminate the species.
I think that before the age of thirty, he learned such a Confucianism, where was Gongsun Ze like a former senzi, and he didn't know how many lives he had on his hands before he rebelled against Confucianism and returned to Mo.
Later, following Mo Zhai, guarding Song, Qi, and You Chu, how could there be less blood on his body?
It's just that these years are old, and he no longer kills people in person, and there are many disciples of the Mo family, so in the eyes of the backward Mo people, he is just a kind old man, who knows that he was also a figure who took dozens of lives back then.
At this time, Meng Sheng, who knew that Mr. was a human being, knew that something might happen.
Those who are backward in the ink do not know, where can he not have heard of it, thinking that if someone pretends to be the ink person has other plans, I am afraid that Mr. today will have to inquire clearly.
Naturally, the gentleman would not blame such a child, but if the person called "suitable" that the child often said borrowed the name of the inkman and had the name of the inkman who wanted to or even fell into the ink, he would have to talk to this "suitable".
Before the other disciples could hear the solemnity in Yu Huali's words, Meng Sheng's powerful right hand was already holding the hilt of the sword, thinking that if this person dared to do something unspeakable in the name of the ink man, it would be Kunlun Beihai, and he would be chased and killed.
He thinks that his swordsmanship is not as good as his own public smelting; It is not as good as Nie Zheng, who has compared swords with Gongzaoye, and is considered by Gongzaoye to only know the small righteousness of the market and ignores the righteousness of the world, and lives in seclusion; Or it is better to get the true meaning of the swordsmanship of Yue Jia and 3,000 swallows Wu back then.
But in addition to these few people in the world, this person is hidden in Luoyang (Luoyi), guarded by the armor of the Son of Heaven, and he also has the opportunity to kill in ten steps.
He stared at the six-fingered child from behind, and when the gentleman asked what was wrong, he would assassinate this person alone in the name of the Righteous Ink Person!
Although the six fingers didn't know that the kind and kind bird suddenly said so solemnly, he was not a person who regarded this kind of thing as a naughty joke, he listened to a lot of things, although his mind was not fully firm, but since he was a child, he was a person who would rather drown than learn to swim, where would he be afraid of this solemn sentence that came suddenly.
He was small, but his heart was strong, and he said: "The old man asked me this question, which made me unhappy." Of course I'm an inker! After harvesting the ink jade ghost finger last time, after sacrificing to the ancestors of heaven and earth, I swore an alliance with Brother Shi, of course, I am the ink one. Not only me, but also Sister Luhua, and a person in the village community. ”
Bird slippery has heard some problems.
To become an ink man, do you need an oath? He hadn't heard of this, and if the Ink Maker needed to do this, then even if he wasn't the first to know, he must have been the first three to know.
Besides, what are the black jade and ghost fingers? The Ink Priest sacrifices, where will there be three kinds of sacrifices?
Such a big matter, if Zi Mozi knew, he would definitely tell him the last time he asked his disciple to go to Yangcheng.
Even if you don't mention these, the method of planting Sumai can be regarded as a major event no less than the Shengyu incident, how could he, as the chief disciple of Mozi, not know?
What he feared most was that someone would use the name of the Ink Artist to do some bad things, thus tarnishing the righteous name of the Ink Scholar.
The bird was silent, and didn't first ask what the Moyu ghost finger was, but asked, "Little boy, what did you say when you swore an oath?" ”
Six Fingers didn't need to recall at all, those vows were already firmly in his mind, thinking about what they looked like at the beginning, and repeating them in a childish voice peculiar to the voice-changing period, but as if a male duck was calling.
"I, Six Fingers, volunteered to be the Ink One. Before all the people in the world could afford to wear fine clothes, they were clothed in short brown; Before everyone in the world could not afford to eat wheat flour, they ate on coarse rice. In order to do the righteousness of the world, in order to eliminate the evils of the world, he is willing to sacrifice and die without heeling. ”
"Loyal to the righteousness of the Mo, strictly abide by the precepts of the Mohists, keep the secrets of the Mo, be the same as the virtuous, the noble are not always noble, the cheap are not always cheap, the Zhuxia and Kyushu are unified in the righteousness, everyone is literate and knows the paradise of the world, and I will never rebel against the ink for the rest of my life!"
"This is what Brother Shi taught me, asked me if I understood, I explained it to him before I was allowed to swear, why am I not an ink master?"
Although he is a child and his voice is immature, his words are loud and powerful.
Like a winter thunder, everyone on the side of the explosion got up one after another, no longer as casual as just now, recalling this sentence one by one, and couldn't help but follow along.
Meng Sheng didn't wait for what the bird was doing, let go of his right hand that was clenching the hilt of the sword, and said in his heart How could such a person be unfavorable to the ink master.
Fowl Slippery also nodded movingly, recalling these words, he could be sure that he had never heard such words, this could not be the oath of the Ink Lord.
However, each of these words made him feel a little close.
It is not only the old man's closeness to children like his grandchildren, but the courage, persistence, and unrepentance revealed between the lines, just like his mood when he listened to Zi Mozi's words and betrayed Confucianism.
Yu Huali stretched out his hand, withdrew the solemn look on his body just now, and patted the shoulder of Six Fingers, his eyes were full of love.
Whispering, for fear of scaring the child, he said: "Yes, of course you are the ink master, I just tested you." By the way, what is the black jade you just mentioned, the ghost finger? I've been in Chudi all these years, and I really don't know these things. ”
He listened to these strange names, and thought they were some witchcraft methods used by this famous man, or some other unknown method.
Six Fingers had already seen the harvest of the Moyu Ghost Finger three months ago, and as soon as he talked about this, his eyebrows suddenly fluttered.
"Old man, it's right that you don't know, this is a strange man who has taught Brother Shi. This black jade is a kind of grain rice, so big! ”
He gestured with his hand, recalling the scene of being taken to the hidden land with the people of the village community that day, and even after three months, he was still shocked.
The land was treated with great care, a basket of silt every day, all kinds of dung, and the hard work of watering and draining the wet in the drought, making this deliberate harvest more convincing.
Six Fingers clearly remembered that on the black jade plant a foot away, there were grains of rice that were really the size of a child's arm.
Blown by the autumn wind, he grinned openly, revealing the delicate color inside like the teeth of the noble lady, like the pearl of difficulty, shining in the autumn wind.
Six Fingers clearly remembered that when Brother Shi broke off one and opened the thick layer of green skin outside, revealing all the inside, everyone in the village community couldn't keep their mouths shut in shock.
He remembered that when Brother Shi pulled away the leaves of those sweet potatoes, pulled out the sweet potatoes that were implicated in them, wiped them with his clothes, and broke them for everyone, many people hugged those black jade sticks, held the ghost fingers that were old and had not good seeds, but used to be delicious, and held those round potatoes that were cut out of the ground, crying or laughing.
Crying is crying about your past crying.
Laughter is the laughter of oneself in the future.
He still remembered that when Brother Shi held up the largest sweet potato dug up from the ground, he said loudly: "In the next hundred years, there will be no hunger in Kyushu." If there is famine, it is not a matter of harvesting. A hundred years later, the population breeded, and we, the Mo, led the people of Zhuxia out of Kyushu! ”
That night's sacrifice, there were a lot of people, and it was also very noisy, people cried and laughed and listened to the story of the Promised Land, and listened to the agitation of Brother Shi.
That night, Six-Fingers remembered that he and the three of them had recited the oath and became the youngest inkman. Because he believes that one day, the promised land will come true.
That night's sacrifice, suitable for our ink people, also became our ink people in the six-fingered mouth.
Since the Moyu Ghost Finger is true, will it be far away from Shangxian, the earth doing its best, and the impermanence of the noble and the cheap?
This person is ambitious and understands that the human heart is unpredictable, so he gives hope, but divides hope into three layers.
What can be achieved quickly, what sounds like hard work can be achieved, and what sounds like a fantasy but who are convinced that it can be achieved in the distant future after witnessing the first two with their own eyes.
These three hopes are interlocked, since I have witnessed the black jade, ghost fingers, sweet potatoes, and potatoes in "Promised Land", who dares to say that those distant things cannot be reached?
Six Fingers also remembered that even after that day, people no longer just respected, but unconditionally believed, otherwise there would be no way to plant these wheat.
Hope, a hope that can be seen, a hope that cannot be seen, a hope that can be achieved immediately...... When it all comes together, it makes the most cowardly people have the ambition to chase hope.
It's neither too far, it's not too close.
When the too close has been realized, people have begun to ask about Nuwa Fuxi, the meaning of Tianzhi and heavenly ghosts, where they came from and where they are going, and the root cause of the world's troubles.
Thinking of this, Six Fingers couldn't contain the excitement in his heart, and compared to the appearance of the black jade stick, and said something that Shi had made up countless times.
Brother Shi said that this thing can be planted on the barren mountains on the slopes, which can make the world less hungry. He said that the Mo family takes the relief of the world as its treasure, so this is the jade treasure of the Mo family, not the jade of ink. The name of the Mo family will be spread to the world with this grain. North to Sushen, south to Baiyue, west to Kunlun, east to Binhai...... Wherever there is a crop, there must be the name of the ink! ”
Hearing this, Bird Slippery no longer doubted the identity of this mysterious suitable, and the sentence that he was treasured to help the world was enough to convince him that this was a real ink man who could no longer be real.
If it weren't for the ink, how would he be willing to let the name of the inkman spread in Kyushu.
If those things like black jade, ghost fingers, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and summer sunflowers are all true, then don't talk about Kunlun, even if you go to an unknowable place, what's so difficult?
Yu Slippery thought to himself: "Mr. is superb in 100 work, even if the public loss class is not as good, everyone in the world knows the name of Mr." If these are true, don't say that the country of the Queen Mother of the West in Kunlun, where Mu Tianzi traveled to Kunlun, is further west, is it possible that the people there will not eat or drink? ”
"This person is called Shishi, and he said it very well! In the name of ink jade, where there is a grain of grain, there must be the name of the ink! ”
"If these are true, how can such a person be unfavorable to my inkers? This person must be a disciple that Mr. accepted before the rebellion of Qiping Gongsun Hui and Xiang Ziniu. Or maybe it's my youngest classmate! ”
Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to see what this ink jade ghost finger sweet potato looked like, and with a step that was not commensurate with his age, he took a few quick steps and shouted: "Little ink man, go quickly, let me also see this jade treasure of the Mo family!" ”
Although Moyu is good, what he wants to see most is this "suitability" that only exists in the mouth of this yellow-haired boy now!
