Everyone saw that it was appropriate to speak, and they all thought that if it was this person, there might really be a way.

However, Cheng Chengzi was worried that he would not understand the situation here, and that the methods of the village community near Shangqiu might not be useful here, so he reminded: "This place is not as good as Shangqiu. In the past, it was the hometown of Xu Yi and Huaiyi. Back then, King Xu Yan rebelled against Zhou, shocking the world. Later grandson Wuzi destroyed Xu, and Xu Yi moved to Pengcheng, or more north along Surabaya. Yin people and Dongyi live together, and they are not comparable to Shangqiu. ”

"There are Daze in the east and west of Peidi, and there are many hidden people who have lost their households, evading taxes and harsh administrations, and most of them believe in witch wishes. Zhu Huai once made a great blessing for the Son of Heaven, and Huaiyi's sacrificial technique also has outstanding points......"

Ji Chengzi was worried that it would be suitable to directly use the means near Shangqiu in the village community, where there were many clans, which would easily cause a backlash from the local nobles.

After many wars, the demographic composition and customs of the region have become extremely complex.

King Mu of Zhou crusaded and plundered slaves; When Jin and Chu fought for hegemony, they destroyed the country and migrated residents; When Wu Zixu and Sun Wuzi destroyed Xu, the Xu people moved north into the Song Dynasty; When the Teng State was destroyed, part of the Teng people moved westward; In order to escape the harsh government, a large number of savages fled to Peize......

The local area was originally the intersection of the Yin Shang civilization and the Dongyi civilization, and after so many wars in which the people were reunited into a city, it was completely different from those places in Shangqiu.

Mozi believed that Shi was not the kind of person who got up and spoke without understanding the situation, and said, "Tell me about it." Let's talk about the general outline first, and then talk about the details. If it doesn't work, there is no need to talk about the rest of it. ”

Shi asked, "The giant trusts those witches?" ”

The Mo family also worships ghosts and gods, which is the limitation of the Mo family, and this point must be asked clearly.

Mozi shook his head and said, "Sacrifices that take living people as sacrifices and accumulate money cannot be blessed by ghosts and gods. Where is this sacrifice? What kind of ghost would like that? ”

Shi smiled and said: "Since this is the case, then the disciple has a way." What we have to deal with seems to be those old villagers who have accumulated money, but in fact we are trying to make the farmers and businessmen here believe us and not them. In other words, our purpose is to make the people here believe in us, and those village elders are just the ones who prevent the people here from believing in us. ”

"Only by making the locals believe in us can we get rid of those old village witches, and only then can we finally solve the evil sacrifice in this place."

"But they are deeply ingrained here, and if we kill them directly, we will incur resentment among the people. If we expose them, people will think that we are slandering. ”

"Now the peasants will believe the words of those witches, just as the ink man believes the words of the giant. But there is only one gentleman, but what about Wu Zhu? ”

Mozi thought about the appropriate words and felt that this was indeed the case.

Since it is to do righteousness, the greatest righteousness is to make more people believe in the righteousness of the Mo, and the premise of this is trust.

It is appropriate to use seeds and medicine to convince people in small villages, but they cannot be used directly here, and they must be convinced before they can be used to deepen their belief.

As for the belief in witch blessings here, Mozi has also heard of it.

Thinking of the previous rebellion of Shengxuan and others, and many ink scholars questioning his righteousness, he laughed at himself and said: "I'm afraid it's even more powerful than some ink people believing in the words of the giant." I am a giant, and there are more than 30 people such as Shengqiu who rebelled against ink. However, the people here believe in the practice of witchcraft, but they never doubt it, and it is said that they were even proud of sacrificing their children many years ago. ”

Shi hummed, and suddenly asked: "Then if Wu Zhu himself said that they were liaring, there was no such sacrifice to ghosts and gods, just to collect money...... Is it more useful than what we admonish? ”

Ji Chengzi shook his head and said, "You think very well, but it's difficult to do." It's like a hunter who wants the tiger to die on its own and then go and skin it. ”

The Ink Scholars also felt that this idea was really bad, without using violent means, how could those witches take the initiative to admit it? But if violence is used, those peasants will definitely think that this is a threat, and it will be difficult for the Mo people to gain a foothold here in the future.

Will Wu Zhu admit that he is a fake?

Will Wu Zhu admit that he can't communicate with ghosts and gods?

What is the difference between thinking this way and hoping that everyone in the world can observe etiquette and not seek profit? It's just delusional.

Only Mozi seemed to understand something when he heard this, and asked, "What can you do?" ”

Shi laughed and said, "Of course those witches won't admit that they can't communicate with ghosts and gods, but what if I become a witch?" I became the only witch and told everyone that they were all fake, and then after everyone believed it, I, the only witch wish, told everyone that I was also fake and that all witch wishes were fake, wouldn't that be okay? ”

Mozi vaguely guessed something, and hurriedly asked, "You go on, this method may be feasible." ”

"Presumably the giant still remembers the incident when I led ants to teach Tianzhi in the village community, right? If I didn't say it, would the people in the village community think that it was a miracle of ghosts? ”

All the ink masters have heard about the village community I don't know how many times.

Everyone learned a lot from the affairs of the village community. Organizing, doing righteousness, trusting, gaining trust, disposing of, rewarding and punishing, a small village community is like a shrinking world.

In an instant, Mozi had already understood the meaning of the suitability.

Ji Chengzi, Yu Huali and the others also seemed to understand, but only the ink masters sitting on the ground did not fully understand.

Instead, use it to become the only witch first, declare the rest of the witches heretical, and then destroy yourself!

The ink man has his own art of blessing and sacrifice, although it is not as good as Confucianism, but it is better in simplicity and does not work for the people's wealth, and can pray for ghosts and gods. There is still a saying that the ink guards the city and the temple of the enemy, and the means of wanting to make altar sacrifices are no worse than those witch blessings.

Shi and consciously feel that his own means can definitely be stronger and more shocking than those witch blessings.

So he said in detail: "I usurped the name of the witch blessing with the heavenly will that I knew, and at the time of the sacrifice on the fifth day of the fifth month, the means were better than those witch wishes, so that everyone could see it at a glance. If those witch wishes can't be done by me, but I can do it, then in the eyes of those farmers, who is the witch blessing who can really communicate with ghosts and gods? ”

"Since they believe it, I'll use some more means. When the next sacrifice is held, I will make all my methods and those methods of witches public, gather ten thousand people, and tell them that they are all fake. Wu Zhu said that he was fake, that is the easiest thing to believe! ”

When he said this, all the people understood.

Compared with the matter of introducing ants in the village community, it seems that it is necessary to reverse here, not to tell everyone that this is just the root of Tianzhi, but to convince everyone first. Then, when the people are most convinced, they expose everything again, instead of coming up and exposing it to cause dissatisfaction.

Although the Mozi had not been in contact with Shi for a long time, they knew that he was well versed in the Heavenly Aspirations and the roots of things, which Mozi praised.

Moreover, he has a reputation among the inkers for keeping promises, honoring promises, and valuing righteousness, but if he can't do it, it's impossible to say it.

If you say it, you can definitely do it. It's like those wheat flour, grinding discs, black jade and the like, if outsiders hear it, they will think it's nonsense, but he can do it when he says it, and he is not false.

Mozi smacked it, there are indeed people who are proficient in how to sacrifice among the ink masters, and what they want to do looks like a sense of ritual, and they are not inferior to others.

The most difficult thing is the means to make people believe at once, and it is definitely not possible to rely on methods like attracting ants.

Mozi felt that he knew a lot of things, but it was a little difficult to make an effect that shocked everyone, so he asked, "What can you do?" ”

After thinking for a moment about the simple utensils and some materials that could be collected at this time, he said loudly: "The disciple can do the following means. ”

"Clear water burns when it meets fire. In the past, Zhu Rong fought together, water and fire were incompatible, but I can make the clear water burn endlessly, so who is closer to the god of fire than those witch wishes? ”

"With firewood and grass in your hand, you don't need to drill wood, you don't need to drill wood, and you can raise a flame with a stroke of your fingers. Today's people, who can not use the means of identification, drilling, and velvet to make fire? Am I not the one who can communicate with Zhurong the most? ”

"I have the blood of Zhurong in my body, so I am not afraid of the fire to cook oil. The oil was boiling, and I could take a bath with my hands and feet, and there was no pain. If Wu Zhu thinks that he also has this blood, he can try it, and if he doesn't die, then he can do it. ”

"I can ditch the thunder of heaven and earth, and with a little finger, I can sound like thunder, shaking all directions. If it is at night, there can be purple lightning and thunder, swimming like a snake. ”

"I can ask the spirits to appear on the white cloth, and then disappear after a while, like ghosts. If Wu Zhu can't even do this, who believes that they can communicate with the gods? ”

In addition to these, Shi also said a lot of means that made everyone present jaw-dropping.

If it weren't for the belief in suitability, many people would have thought that he was crazy, where are these methods that ordinary people can do?

But because he understands, I believe that he is not crazy, these things that sound impossible can obviously be done, otherwise he would not have said so.

At the end, Shi laughed wildly: "In order to convince the common people that they can communicate with ghosts and gods, those witches must have a means, and everyone must believe it. We will give back to others in their own way! ”

"When everyone believes it, we will take the next step by means of witch wishes."

"Let those who do not believe still not believe but hate us; They who let them believe still believe and love us. Fight against hate with love, until it is difficult for those who hate us to succeed, and then in the name of the great sacrifice, I will recruit everyone to be present, and tell these deceitful methods! ”

He smiled quite confidently, and therefore quite arrogantly.

The reason for his self-confidence lies in his belief that he is approaching science and engaging in feudal superstition and deception, which no one can match at this time.

And in the dross of the ink master itself, there are also sacrificial rituals, which are fused together, and it is impossible to make those people not believe that he is the one who can really communicate with the ghosts and gods.

This arrogant laughter caused Gong Zaoye to shout: "A good sentence to repay the other in the other way!" This is a great good! Just how long do you have to do these means? It's not far from May. ”

After thinking for a moment about the craftsmen who could help them make these things, he confidently replied: "One month, that's enough!" ”
