Chapter 287: Gu Dan's Power, the Limit of Humanity

“Boom, boom, boom!”

Qin Lisheng, who had just made a successful breakthrough, felt his heart beating like a ferocious beast from ancient times. Continuous and passionate drum beats sounded between his heart and lungs, and powerful energy filled his whole body.

It was an unprecedented feeling of smoothness, the true energy could flow unimpeded, no longer confined to small meridians, with just a thought, it could reach any place within reach.

The five internal organs that had just completed their remodeling were not fragile. On the contrary, an unprecedented strong feeling naturally rose up, and Qin Lisheng's originally pale face became visibly rosy.

Zhuoran's aura was revealed uncontrollably, like a lone wolf facing a tiger looking down from high in the sky.

Even a master would seem inadequate under such pressure.

Grandmaster! This is the aura of a genuine grandmaster.

There is no other place in the whole world except this small courtyard.

The last time everyone had seen such a scene was back during the Kang Jing period when Gu Dan made a breakthrough.

It was a familiar scene, but it was a different person.

Wang Mang was too close, and even though he was already a highly skilled martial artist, his face couldn't help but turn pale. After all, he was already an old man, and his energy and blood were not as good as they used to be. Being enveloped by such pressure, his energy and blood felt a little blocked.

Fortunately, Gu Dan took two steps and stood in front of him, naturally blocking all the auras. He also extended his hand to Qin Lisheng, "Come on, let's have some."

Pass it over.

This is a trick among masters.

When one reaches the Grandmaster level, ordinary fighting is no longer suitable for them.

Because every grandmaster has a secret weapon that he or she has kept hidden, and this is something that everyone knows.

So how do you know how strong you are?

There should be a distinction between the top and the bottom among the masters, right? So, after a few moves, it became a game among the masters.

It wasn't even a real fight, just two hands clasped together and then they used their real energy to hit each other.

Whoever can inject his or her true energy into the opponent's body first will be considered successful.

Although it looks very simple, it actually tests the strength of one's true Qi and even one's control over the true Qi.

This actually represents how complete the physical body is after the Qi and blood are blocked!

What fighting talent, what brilliant genius, what is being competed for is one's own foundation.

The stronger the foundation, the stronger the strength, which is reasonable.

When it comes to a life-and-death struggle, and the moment of igniting blood and flesh, the one with stronger Qi will naturally win by three points! "Good!"

Qin Lisheng didn't waste any words. He stood up from the ground and held Gu Dan's hand with his large, dark hand.

In comparison, Gu Dan's hands appeared to be somewhat slender and fair, yet also slender enough.

The moment their palms clasped together, Qin Lisheng's true energy surged, and the majestic true energy stirred his clothes, shaking off all the blood that had almost solidified on his body, and turned into a violent storm, attacking Gu Dan.

But Gu Dan did not move.

No matter how Qin Lisheng's true energy washed over him, he seemed so calm, his body like a reef in the sea. No matter how the waves of true energy washed over him, he remained unmoved.

Gu Dan has been at the level of Grand Master for almost fifty years.

No one understands the Grand Master better than him.

To defeat Qin Li, it is no exaggeration to say that the big is bullying the small.

But that was exactly what he was thinking.

Qin Lisheng is too stubborn, so promoting him to grandmaster is certainly a good thing, but being too rigid can lead to failure. Gu Dan has the Qingmu Huasheng Jue as his trump card behind the grandmaster, and he can replenish it if there is any loss, but Qin Lisheng does not have that.

Even before the news of the Buzhou Mountains reached the Xia Dynasty, Gu Dan, as the number one in the world, had always been extremely low-key and never thought highly of himself. He knew how to conserve his energy and did not want Qin Lisheng to think that everything was just so-so after being promoted to grandmaster.

So today he also has to teach Qin Lisheng a lesson.

Even a grandmaster is not invincible.

"Um?"

Qin Lisheng's expression changed slightly.

It is a consensus that true Qi can defeat magical weapons and even the body of a master can be injured.

But Gu Dan was able to withstand the impact of his true energy with just his physical body.

This means that Gu Dan's attainments in his physical body have reached the pinnacle and have been condensed to the extreme.

A grandmaster can let his true Qi flow freely and cleanse his body continuously. A great grandmaster's true Qi flows freely without any hindrance, and this cleansing reaches several levels even higher!

After nearly fifty years of nurturing, it is no exaggeration to say that Gu Dan's body has become a genuine treasure.

It is a "rare treasure" that is countless times stronger than the Grandmaster's hundred-year-old body.

This is also one of the reasons why Gu Dan is particularly disgusted with the grave-digging behavior of the International Chamber of Commerce.

You didn't even spare the bones of the dead masters. If you knew there was such a thing as a grandmaster, wouldn't you be furious? This kind of sick behavior must be stopped by the most cruel means! It was just a rootless and sourceless foundation-building attack, which was not enough for Gu Dan to use his real strength, and it had never been revealed to the world.

Now that everyone in the yard is his own people, Gu Dan naturally doesn't mind showing off his skills.

"It is inconvenient for a Grandmaster to fight because the Grandmaster's body is already an exquisite treasure. When treasures collide with each other, they are bound to be damaged."

Gu Dan spoke up.

Even if the Grandmaster does not fight to the death, injuries to his body mean that his strength has been damaged.

For an ordinary person, losing a piece of flesh and blood may not be a big deal.

If a Grandmaster loses a piece of flesh and blood, his true energy will be greatly affected.

In other words, the same injury on a master is much more serious than on a normal person.

This is the case where there is gain and loss.

The flesh and blood melted by the qi and blood makes the master's body comparable to a divine weapon, but the price paid after being damaged is naturally far more valuable than a blade made of ordinary iron.

If a thatched hut has a hole, it can be repaired simply, but if a magnificent palace collapses, it will require skilled craftsmen and all kinds of treasures to rebuild it.

This is the real reason why few masters compete with each other.

There is no benefit in winning, and losing will only hurt yourself and take years to repair.

Having a try has become the best way to verify yourself, and in a sense, it is just the right time.

If the true Qi can break through the enemy's skin, it means that it can cause actual damage.

Qin Lisheng's eyes were somewhat solemn. He naturally understood this, but after all, he had been promoted to Grandmaster, which was equivalent to being in the same realm as Gu Dan. How could he not even be able to break through the skin? "Come again!"

Qin Lisheng's eyes focused, and his true energy actually made a sharp whistling sound, indicating that he was serious.

The enormous pressure made Xun Ke's face solemn.

Beneath Gu Dan's calm and composed attitude lies a strength that is enough to put even the most vulnerable to shame.

However, it was of no use.

Gu Dan's palm was like an iron clamp, holding Qin Lisheng's slightly rough big hand. The fingers, which were slightly slender in comparison, emitted a faint white light under the impact of Qin Lisheng's true energy, like jade.

This means that Gu Dan has completed his own "transformation".

His true energy has been integrated into every part of his body.

There is no need to do anything, the skin itself is one of the symbols of his own strength.

"It's my turn."

After a brief flush, Gu Dan smiled slightly.

In an instant, the true energy with a hint of green in the bright white color appeared as a thin barrier.

Compared with the violent storm of Qin Lisheng's true energy, the barrier was like a piece of rice paper.

But the moment it appeared, Qin Lisheng's true qi was completely blocked. That thin true qi seemed to contain a tremendous force, condensed to the extreme.

Even though the quantity is small, the quality is truly overwhelming!

Suddenly, all of Qin Lisheng's true energy was beaten back, and at the moment when the white barrier was about to touch Qin Lisheng, Gu Dan loosened his hand.

Qin Lisheng's eyes were filled with shock.

Although they are both grandmasters, the gap between them is as huge as heaven and earth!

In other words, if he didn't ignite his flesh and blood, he would be defeated without any injuries! The Rongzong Fu that had caused him great injuries at the beginning seemed vulnerable when facing Gu Dan's body-protecting true qi.

Now Qin Lisheng finally understood why Rong Zongfu seemed so weak when facing Gu Dan. It was not his fault! To be precise, Gu Dan could no longer be measured by the standards of the mortal world.

His strength has reached a level that is beyond the reach of others. At least in martial arts, he represents the limit of the world! Being promoted to a grandmaster, it seems that he has reached the same level as him, but how can he make up for the gap between them? He calmed down and practiced for nearly fifty years.

The attack and defense are perfectly integrated! At this level, even if the master ignites his flesh and blood, it is afraid that he will not be able to cause any damage to him. The master's greatest killer weapon is ineffective on him.

"After being promoted to Grandmaster, your strength will rise rapidly in a short period of time. This speed will last for several years, and then gradually slow down. For the rest, you will need to find other ways to break through, or directly change schools to practice immortality."

Gu Dan loosened his grip and spared no effort to remind them, "Don't think that the Grand Master is invincible. There is always someone stronger than you. People who only worship strength will inevitably be defeated by a higher level of strength. You must understand the principle of recuperation."

He was admonishing the younger generations about his philosophy: not to fight for just one life, but to seek eternity.

Of course, ordinary people only have a limited life span, and it is impossible for them to be as calm and steady as him, but they should also understand the principle that being too rigid will lead to failure.

"Now there are five awls, these are sharp, and those who sharpen must first blunt. There are five knives, these are twisted, and those who twist must first break. Therefore, sweet wells are about to dry up, attractive trees are about to be cut down, magical turtles are about to be burned, and divine snakes are about to be violent.

This is the truth that Brother Mo once told me, and now I am passing it on to you."

Gu Dan said seriously.

Now there are five awls, one of which is the sharpest, and this one will definitely be worn out first. There are five knives, and one of which is sharpened the fastest, then this one will be damaged first. Therefore, the well with the sweetest water will be sucked dry first, the tall and strong trees will be cut down most easily, the divine tortoise will be burned first for divination, and the magical snake will be exposed to the sun first for rain.

The more power you control, the more vigilant you must be.

This is why he was able to calm down.

Above the grandmaster there is the innate master, and beyond the martial arts there is the immortal master.

People should not be self-deprecating, nor should they think too highly of themselves.

"I'll pay attention."

Just after he broke through to the grandmaster level, Gu Dan gave him a severe lesson, even quoting Mozi's words. It was hard for Qin Lisheng not to remember it clearly.

"You guys go back and rest first, and Xun Ke will come back in a few days."

Gu Dan waved his hand. After all, these people were not children anymore, so a few pointers would be enough.

What he was more worried about was actually the Mohist school.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Three days later, Xun Ke arrived at the Gu family courtyard.

A new grandmaster was born in the Xia Dynasty.

But now that there is no war, the news of the two grand masters has been concealed and not made known to the world.

Another half a year passed, and the news that Mohism was about to leave finally began to spread among the people.

A more accurate statement would be that the leader of the Mohist school would lead many Mohists to travel to other countries.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to return from this trip.

This news immediately caused an uproar in the Xia Dynasty.

The importance of Mohism to the Xia Dynasty is self-evident.

Even though Confucianism has gained the upper hand today, and has even surpassed Mohism to become the most prominent school of thought in the world, and even the category of "Confucian businessmen" has emerged among businessmen, everyone still thinks that Mohism is stronger, even though the number of Mohists in the school is clearly decreasing.

Facts have proved that Mohism is not popular in a comfortable environment.

The more suffering we encounter, the more we can witness the darkness and brilliance of human nature.

When Dayue was in the most desperate time, the Mohist school stood up. Due to a series of reasons, a small number of people became Mohists, risking their lives and suffering until their death.

But during the prosperous Xia Dynasty, Mohism gradually declined.

It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm.

The Mohists, on the other hand, sacrifice themselves to benefit others.

This is an act that is not in line with human nature. Even though the Mohist School attracted worldwide attention due to special conditions in the past, its decline is now becoming apparent.

Qin Lisheng can make the Mohist school remain the Mohist school, but he cannot make the world remain the same. Different periods have different choices, and there is no need to criticize this.

Nowadays, Confucianism, which is not so noble, has begun to spread everywhere and is respected by people.

Because Confucianism teaches people to cultivate themselves first and then help others.

Gu Dan saw all of this clearly.

But the people don't care about that.

They themselves do not want to be Mohists, but they also do not want Mohists to leave.

The Xia Dynasty was so great, why bother to travel thousands of miles away to give lectures in the open air?

The people who have escaped from suffering have now lived a better life, and everything in the past can become a topic of conversation after dinner. They cannot understand Qin Lisheng's thoughts, because at this time, almost all the elderly who had truly experienced that time have passed away.

People from all over the country jointly wrote a letter to the court, requesting that Mohist school should not be allowed to leave.

There were even cases of joint petitions from thousands of people, and this happened in more than one place.

Faced with the "raging public opinion", the court remained silent.

In fact, the imperial court did not like Mohism.

After all, the Mohists are able to occupy the moral high ground. If you want to challenge them morally, you must be a Mohist yourself.

It just so happens that this group of people, due to special reasons, have an extraordinary status, like a sword hanging over their heads, always hovering over the heads of officials of the Xia Dynasty, both big and small.

There are many things that the government dare not intervene in, but the Mohists dare to do so.

Not only do they dare to do so, they can also call over the master to explain the truth to you. As for whether you will have the chance to listen in your next life, that is hard to say.

Under normal circumstances, no emperor would tolerate such a group of privileged people.

If it weren't for special reasons, the Mohist school would have been cooked by dogs long ago.

Now that the Mo family is finally leaving, are you still trying to stop them?

They wanted to clap their hands in joy! Of course, Qin Lisheng's departure did not mean that all Mohists had to leave.

Naturally, there would still be Mohists left in the Xia Dynasty, but without the leadership of the Grand Master, without such a determined and capable Mohist giant as the pioneer and leader, and with the growth of such a "great enemy" as Confucianism, it would be difficult for the remaining Mohists to stir up any waves.

The forty-nine years of the Xia Dynasty.

Qin Lisheng, who had almost arranged everything, came to the Gu family courtyard to say goodbye.

He will travel around the countries with more than a thousand scholars to give lectures and preach.

Although the Xia Dynasty is now powerful, there are certainly still countries that are sinking in the sea of ​​suffering and have not yet seen the dawn.

What he had to do was to proclaim the righteousness of Mohism to the world.

Unable to bear the suffering in the world, I dare to be the first in the world.

So is Moqiu, and so is Qinlisheng.

The most precious thing in this world is that there are people who take over the valuable experience and burden from their predecessors and continue to pass them on.

"Mr. Gu, I'm leaving."

Qin Lisheng bowed and saluted to Gu Dan. He had never visited Gu Dan so formally before.

"Are you really going to leave? There are countless people trying to keep you here."

Gu Dan said.

"There are places where Mozhe is more needed."

Qin Lisheng laughed.

If you are not afraid of wind and rain when you come, why should you be afraid of what people say when you leave?

The Mohist school's mission in the Xia Dynasty had been completed.

Gu Dan stared at Qin Lisheng for a long time.

The world defined by Mohism does not include oneself as an individual, but includes other individuals.

Therefore, the act of sacrificing other individuals is just sacrificing part of the world to preserve the world, which is not righteousness.

But if one sacrifices oneself, it is not considered sacrificing part of the world, so it benefits the world and is righteousness.

So, no matter from which aspect, he likes Mohism very much.

But if he were to be a Mohist, Gu Dan could only say it was a pity.

"Morality itself is actually the greatest common divisor. It is constantly changing with the times, but its connotation will not change. Morality is not for others, but for oneself. If everyone has morality, it will no longer be a matter of sacrificing oneself to benefit others, but a matter of mutual benefit."

Gu Dan thought for a moment and said, "But many people have no morals, and the greatest common denominator is destroyed, causing 'morality' itself to become a lofty word, meaning self-sacrifice, suffering losses, and harming oneself. This is unhealthy.

The most fundamental reason for the lack of morality lies in material inequality and status inequality, rather than simply differences between people. Before these two things can be resolved, the more you pursue morality, the more difficult it will be. "

Gu Dan still decided to give Qin Lisheng some advice.

Those are all things he summarized from history.

Anyway, Qin Lisheng is going on a long journey, so it shouldn't affect anything if I tell others about it.

"So, the high moral standards of a group of people cannot directly change everyone. You have to understand this. The path of Mohism is difficult and arduous."

There was a thoughtful look in Qin Lisheng's eyes.

The term "greatest common divisor" is not difficult to understand. Even if you hear it for the first time, it is easy to understand it by making some connections.

As for the difficulty of this road, Qin Lisheng had already experienced it.

"People of our generation should seek truth from facts and never give up."

Qin Lisheng was not afraid at all. As a leader of the Mohist school, he had confidence in the Mohist school and in the Mohists.

In this world, there will always be someone who shines.

Qin Lisheng left, taking with him more than a thousand Moists.

He will travel to a wider world and more distant countries to spread the glory of Mohism.

Gu Dan lost another friend in the Xia Dynasty.

The Xia Dynasty lasted for fifty years.

Wang Mang hurriedly pushed open the door of the Gu family courtyard and said hurriedly: "Brother Gu! Wanrong, Wanrong..."
