Chapter 282

~7 min read 1,297 words

This inevitably made Duanmu Rong feel a bit indignant. Clearly, she had also come, so why did this person only greet her master and Senior Six-Fingered, while ignoring her alone?

Sure enough, there is not a single good person in the Yin-Yang School!

"Your Excellency Xuantian, long time no see!" Nian Duan also greeted Su Xuan.

The Six-Fingered Black Hero was still gripping the Mo Mei tightly. Even though Zi Nu had already said that the Yin-Yang School had no malice, he still did not let go of the guard in his heart. Looking at Su Xuan, he said coldly, "Your Excellency Xuantian went to the extent of threatening me to come here with the life and death of Crown Prince Yan Dan. What exactly is this for?"

Su Xuan smiled mysteriously and did not answer this "967" question directly.

Instead, he turned to the side and said slowly to the Six-Fingered Black Hero, "Mohist mechanisms, wood and stone walking, bronze opening, ask Gongshu! This prophecy has been circulating in the world for a long time. The Mohist School's non-aggression mechanism technique and the Gongshu family's domineering mechanism technique are both famous strange techniques in the world."

"One focuses on offense, the other on defense. Offense is like the thunder of the nine heavens, defense is like the vastness of the nine earths!"

Hearing Su Xuan talk about the past events of the Mohist School and their arch-rival, the Gongshu family, the Six-Fingered Black Hero frowned and said in a deep voice, "What exactly does Your Excellency Xuantian want to say?"

"As far as I know, the Gongshu family seems to be working for the Qin Guo now, right!"

"Not bad, the Gongshu family is indeed working for the Qin Guo now and has helped the Qin Guo develop many weapons used in war." Su Xuan did not hide this matter either. In the final analysis, this matter was not a secret.

Hearing this, a trace of chill couldn't help but appear in the Six-Fingered Black Hero's eyes.

Combined with what Su Xuan said earlier, could it be that the Gongshu family learned that he had come to the Qin Guo and therefore invited the Yin-Yang School to deal with him?

This seemed to explain why Su Xuan had to threaten him to come to the Yin-Yang School with Yan Dan.

It was to take the opportunity to get rid of him here!

As for why?

Of course, it was because he was the Mohist Leader. Once he died, the entire Mohist School would fall into a situation without a leader, and the Gongshu family would also lose a powerful opponent, from then on, the domineering mechanism technique would dominate the world.

The Six-Fingered Black Hero supplemented a lot in his mind.

He was prepared to deal with Su Xuan's trouble at any time.

Before coming to the Yin-Yang School, he had made plans to have a big battle with Su Xuan. Even if the road ahead was unknown, for the sake of Yan Dan, he had to make this trip.

What made the Six-Fingered Black Hero strange was that Su Xuan did not make trouble.

Instead, he continued, "It seems that the Mohist School is very great. Aiming at the Gongshu family's domineering mechanism technique, they studied methods to crack it, making the opponent's siege equipment unable to exert its full power, which largely prevented the destruction brought by war..."

"But is this approach really correct?"

The Six-Fingered Black Hero said coldly, "Are you questioning my Mohist ancestor?"

In the past, Mozi heard that the State of Chu, with the help of Gongshu Ban, had developed a new type of siege mechanism and wanted to use it to attack the State of Song. He walked for ten days and ten nights, hurriedly rushed to the State of Chu, and then fought with Gongshu Ban, continuously cracking Gongshu Ban's mechanisms, and then persuaded the King of Chu to give up attacking the State of Song.

The story of Mo Di's argument to stop Chu from attacking Song became famous in the world.

To this day, many Mohist disciples still take the ancestor Mozi as an example and constantly praise him. And the Gongshu family, since then, because of this matter, has always held a grudge against the Mohist School, trying to surpass the Mohist School, but for many years, not only have they failed to surpass the Mohist School, but they have always been suppressed by the Mohist School. Their domineering mechanism technique, when encountering the Mohist School's non-aggression mechanism technique, has repeatedly suffered setbacks.

"Mozi is naturally great. How dare I question him!"

Su Xuan said lightly.

"Back then, Mozi heard that Gongshu Ban was assisting the State of Chu, so he went to the State of Chu to fight with Gongshu Ban and lobby the King of Chu, in order to prevent the State of Chu from attacking the State of Song and to save the people of the State of Song."

"But the people of the Mohist School after Mozi are not necessarily so."

"Some of you are obsessed with fighting the Gongshu family, thinking that cracking the opponent's domineering mechanism technique is stopping war, but you don't know that war is not dominated by the domineering mechanism technique. The existence of mechanism technique can only change part of the direction of war, and if it is for the sake of the people, you have completely better ways!"

"But I am very disappointed. You did not choose to do so!"

Su Xuan said, his words carrying a faint sense of regret.

The Six-Fingered Black Hero's eyes flickered, and he understood less and less what Su Xuan was talking about.

Since he didn't understand, he should just shut his mouth obediently. No matter what the other party said, he would ignore it.

Anyway, he had already determined that this Yin-Yang School leader before him was not a good person and had no good feelings for the Mohist School.

After Su Xuan talked for a while, he said to the Six-Fingered Black Hero, "As the Mohist Leader, you must also be very proficient in mechanism technique. I wonder if you can make changes to these few wooden instruments?"

The Six-Fingered Black Hero had seen these few wooden instruments as early as when he followed Zi Nu here, but he didn't care, because all his attention was on Su Xuan.

Only until now, hearing Su Xuan's words, did he look at these few wooden instruments.

From his perspective, these few wooden instruments were extremely crude and could not be considered exquisite.

For mechanism technique, one still had to look at their Mohist School.

The mechanism instruments made by others were all garbage!

However, out of consideration for Su Xuan, mainly because Yan Dan's soul was still in Su Xuan's hands, he still studied them.

"What aspect do you want to change?"

While studying the reasons for these 43 wooden instruments, the Six-Fingered Black Hero asked Su Xuan.

"For the waterwheel, how can we use less force to draw more water? As for the other one, an instrument called a seed drill, is there any way to make it cultivate more land and sow more seeds while consuming less human and animal power?"

During these three days, after Su Xuan returned to the Yin-Yang School, he began to let the Yin-Yang School disciples make wooden instruments. Under his guidance, the Yin-Yang School disciples made a waterwheel and a seed drill.

The former is an irrigation tool, and the latter is a tool for sowing and cultivation.

Of course, because they were hurriedly made, the quality was truly average.

However, when the Six-Fingered Black Hero heard Su Xuan's words and realized what these were for, he was suddenly stunned.
