Chapter 46: There is no one in the world except Qiu!
"That's right."
Mo Qiu nodded slightly, a smile appeared on his dark face, and he said: "To seek benevolence and righteousness, if you want to seek benevolence, you must first seek righteousness. Righteousness is benefit. If you don't get the immortal fate, Emperor Zong Ming will surely stir up unrest in the Nine Provinces and cause suffering to the people. Sending the immortal fate to Emperor Zong Ming can calm the matter down, which is the righteousness of the Mohist school and the benefit of the world!"
"But."
Gu Dan opened his mouth to speak, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know where to start.
Before, he was worried that Mo Qiu and the Mohists would rush to Yuzhou to attract attention and become targets in the court. Even if they gained something, they would be surrounded by martial arts masters and wolves. If they were surrounded by thousands of troops, even a martial arts master would find it difficult to escape.
But since Mo Qiu has already got the chance to become an immortal, why bother coming back?
Seeking immortality is the lifelong dream of many people! There are countless people who are willing to abandon their wives and children, give up everything, and exchange it for their own transcendence! However, they either don’t have the opportunity or the ability, no matter how much they desire, they can only sigh in despair.
Mo Qiu snatched food from a tiger's mouth, risking his life to get the chance of immortality, but instead of enjoying it himself, he wanted to offer it to Emperor Zong Ming in order to ensure the stability of Yuzhou? To be selfish, let alone Yuzhou, even if everyone in Dayue died, as long as it could be exchanged for the chance of immortality, there are countless people who would beg for it!
Seeing that Gu Dan was hesitant to speak, Mo Qiu knew where Gu Dan's doubts came from, and asked: "Brother Gu, few people can live to a hundred years old. What do you think is the most important thing? There are many people who seek fame, and those who seek profit are as numerous as the carp crossing the river. How many are willing to sacrifice their lives for the people? Men like me are born in our hometowns. What we seek is not to make achievements, but to live in peace. My parents are dead, and I am here today because of the adoption of kind people. The kindness of my parents in raising me cannot be repaid, but there are countless parents and children in this world. The hungry have no food, the cold have no clothes, and the tired have no rest!
Everywhere I look, I see bones lying in the wild. My heart aches! A scholar must be broad-minded and resolute. The responsibility is heavy and the road is long. Is it not a heavy responsibility to take benevolence as one's own responsibility? Is it not a long way to go until death?"
Mo Qiu stood up, and the bright moon was left behind him. The cold moonlight could not illuminate his dark face. His brows were always frowned, as if he was carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Everyone in the world loves to seek immortality, to transcend the sea of suffering in the mortal world, to live a free and easy life in the supreme celestial realm. I don't understand why no one wants to save the people of the mortal world? So that the old people will not only love their own relatives, not only love their own children, so that the old people will have a place to live, the strong people will have a place to work, the young people will have a place to grow, the poor, the lonely, the disabled and the sick will all be taken care of. Men have their share, women have their home, and goods are not worth throwing away on the ground, so there is no need to keep them for oneself!
Isn't this also a paradise on earth? Why bother to seek the illusory immortal? !
How can the transcendence of one person be better than the transcendence of all people? How can the benefit of one person be better than the benefit of all people? I founded Mohism not to seek the benefit of one person, but the benefit of the world! If there are many virtuous and good people in a country, the country will be well governed. If there are few virtuous and good people, the country will be poorly governed. Mohism wants to promote the benefit of the world and eliminate the harm of the world! If there is no one in the world, start with me! "
If there is no one in the world, start from me!
Hearing this, Gu was worried that his god would be shocked.
As early as when he first met Mo Qiu, Mo Qiu had revealed a hint of his ambitions.
But at that time he was just an unknown physician in the Imperial Hospital, and Mo Qiu had just walked out of prison.
A mere medical practitioner and a crude warrior dared to talk about the general situation of the world. If even a little bit of it were to be leaked, it would surely cause people to laugh at them.
But the wind starts from the tip of the green apple and ends among the grass.
Who dares to say that among the billions of living beings, there won't be one person willing to sacrifice his life for the common people in the past thousands of years? Regardless of whether they leave their names in history, there have always been people who sacrificed their lives and shed their blood, in exchange for the unyielding and tenacious spirit that continues in their blood and bones.
They traveled to all corners of the world, and thus their legends were spread all over the world, guiding generations forward.
It is because of them that the flame of civilization can continue to be passed on, rather than a group of beasts fantasizing about where their next meal is hidden.
After a long while, Gu Dan finally came back to his senses and said, "Brother Mo, you can be a saint!"
With a heart that embraces the world, he wanted to save the people from falling into the sea of suffering. He gave up his personal selfish desires in exchange for world peace. He never forgot his original intention from beginning to end.
A martial arts master is a kind of power, and power does not have to be used for destruction, it can also be used for protection.
Strength is used to clench your fist, and clenching your fist is to be able to open it again.
"Ha sage?"
Mo Qiu shook his head, "I am just one person, but Dayue has thousands and thousands of people. How much can one person do? If we want to promote the benefits of the world and eliminate the harm of the world, why do we need those saints who are put aside to do it?"
He was very sober and it was definitely not an impulsive act.
These words had been in his heart since the day he began to preach his doctrine.
I haven't achieved much in the past, so talking about it only makes people feel that I'm arrogant and hard to believe.
The stars fell from the sky at night, and Mohism became famous. He was finally able to express his ideals and ambitions and put them into practice.
"High-brow music is appreciated by few, and great skills are hard to master. Brother Mo's ambition is rare in the world. Although there is not much else here, there is always no shortage of medicine." Gu Dan was silent for a moment and finally spoke.
"That's enough!"
Mo Qiu reached out and picked up a fist-sized piece of fairy stone from the table and placed it in Gu Dan's hand.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Brother Mo, what are you doing?" Gu Dan was stunned.
"We have known each other for more than ten years. I trust you, Brother Gu. The way to immortality is so vague and untraceable. It is just a stone that fell from the sky. How can it be carried by ordinary people? Although this item is good, can it also allow people to ascend to heaven on the spot? Brother Gu is interested in seeking immortality, so I will leave this item to you. If one day I die without a complete body and the Mohist School is about to perish, I may need your help."
Mo Qiu smiled and said, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Treating illnesses and saving lives is no less important than being a hero. If Brother Gu can use this to uncover the secret of the immortal stone, it will be a great blessing!"
"I"
"Okay, the trip to Yuzhou has exhausted me both physically and mentally, and I need a day to rest. I will go to the palace to meet the emperor tomorrow, so please don't disturb my sleep, brother Gu." Mo Qiu waved his hand, not giving Gu Dan a chance to speak, and turned to walk into the house where he had lived before to rest.
Holding the spirit stone, Gu Dan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and finally understood what Mo Qiu meant.
Although Mo Qiu is willing to work hard for the people of the world, he cannot guarantee what Emperor Zong Ming will think.
After receiving the immortal fate sent by Mo Qiu, would Emperor Zong Ming be willing to stop? This was actually something that was not absolutely certain.
God’s power is unpredictable, and Mo Qiu’s good intentions may become wishful thinking, and he may lose his life and property.
In this world, it is not the case that you can accomplish things just because your intentions are good.
Giving him the spirit stone is the worst-case scenario.
On the second day, just after daybreak, Mo Qiu pushed open the door of the Mo family martial arts gym, glanced at Gu Dan behind him, waved his hand, and walked towards the direction of the palace without hesitation.
The success or failure of Mohism depends on this one move.
