Chapter 195: The problem of universal love? Believe in yourself?
Gongsun Ce observed that the evil spirit on the Yuanhong sword embryo was decreasing rapidly, and it was obvious that the blood dragon was being purified.

Although the bat was injured, it did not give up. It struggled to stand up and attacked the dragon again.

This time it no longer used the blood-red battle blade to attack, but directly used its own body to hit the dragon.

The bat was extremely fast, like a flash of red lightning, and instantly hit the blood dragon.

Although the blood dragon was knocked back a few steps by the bat, it did not suffer much damage.

It let out a roar and attacked the bat again.

This time it used its tail as a weapon. The tail drew a graceful arc in the air and then hit the bat hard.

The bat was knocked out again, but it quickly maintained its shape in the air.

Although the bat's body was covered with scars, its eyes were flashing with an even more eerie light, as if it had become even crazier and more cruel.

The blood dragon was also surprised when seeing this, but it did not retreat and instead attacked the bat again.

The blood dragon held its tail in its mouth and then spun in the air. Soon the blood dragon turned into a blood-colored roulette and slashed towards the bat.

The bat continued to struggle and fight back as it was worn out by the roulette wheel, but its strength seemed to have been exhausted and it could no longer withstand the blood dragon's attack.

At this moment, the red light in the bat's eyes became more and more intense. With a loud bang, the bat's figure suddenly exploded, and the power of the explosion enveloped the blood dragon.

Gongsun Ce in the outside world noticed that the evil spirit on the Yuanhong sword embryo had completely dissipated.

The sword blank was no longer surrounded by blood, and the word "Yuan" suddenly appeared above the word "Hong".

"Yuanhong! Done!"

Madam Xu shouted excitedly and then fainted. Master Xu, who was watching Yuan Hong's completion together with Gongsun Ce, immediately stepped forward and hugged Madam Xu to prevent her from hitting her head.

It was not until this moment that Master Xu noticed that besides him, there were also Gongsun Ce and the Six-Fingered Black Knight on the sidelines.

Gongsun Ce hooked his finger at Yuan Hong, and Yuan Hong left the sword-making furnace and floated in front of him.

The six-fingered black hero stepped forward and looked at Yuan Hong, his eyes also flashing with surprise.

He was a swordsman, so he was naturally good at swordsmanship and could judge swords. He could tell at a glance that Yuan Hong was ranked in the top ten of the sword list, and not the tenth.

Gongsun Ce raised his hand and wanted to hold Yuan Hong, but Yuan Hong just trembled slightly and did not welcome Gongsun Ce.

"As expected, your master has already determined your fate, and no one else can control it. Everything in the past is in the past, and the future is still unknown."

The two words "Yuanhong" can be understood as the sword body is as clear as the abyss, and bursts of rainbow light appear when it is swung.

It can also be understood that the sun rises from the abyss and illuminates everything, which means abandoning the darkness of the past and regaining a new life in light.

It fits this sword's experience, and perhaps also Gai Nie's experience.

Gongsun Ce counted the three swords he had: Yanri, Tianwen and Longlin. He no longer needed any other swords.

Gongsun Ce thought for a moment and felt that paulownia wood was very suitable for the scabbard of Yuanhong, but the final material of the scabbard would depend on Madam Xu's opinion.

Gongsun Ce looked at Madam Xu who had not yet woken up, and could only ask Master Xu to convey his opinion, "I think this sword is very suitable for Gai Nie. I will let Gai Nie come over to try the sword."

Master Xu nodded. The sword was important, but Madam Xu's body was equally important at this moment.

Gongsun Ce glanced at Madam Xu and said, "Master Xu, don't worry too much. Madam Xu is just exhausted. I will ask Xia Wuqie to come and treat her."

Xia Wuqie is currently the most skilled doctor in Qin State and the personal physician of Ying Zheng.

When Jing Ke was about to assassinate Qin Zheng, Xia Wuqie used the medicine bag technique to hit Jing Ke with a medicine bag, successfully preventing Jing Ke from approaching Ying Zheng and giving Ying Zheng the opportunity to draw his sword.

Xia Wuqi was an expert in medicine, and when Master Xu heard that he would be the one to treat the patient, he finally put his mind at ease.

After Gongsun Ce finished speaking, he turned and left. Seeing this, the Six-Fingered Black Knight followed Gongsun Ce out of the forge.

"Are Mohist disciples used to being in Xianyang?"

"I'm used to having Qin Mo's senior again."

Gongsun Ce glanced at the Six-Fingered Black Knight and asked him what he thought about the supervisory and law enforcement agency established with Mohism as the core.

“A Zheng has already started to promote the establishment of an institution suitable for Mohist and Mohist heroes, but there are still some minor problems that need to be resolved.

Like the name, responsibilities and where the headquarters will be located. Any suggestions?"

The six-fingered black knight thought for a moment and gave a reply: "We uphold the spirit of chivalry and are the law enforcers under the rule of Qin. We should also uphold the law impartially and can use the name of Xiezhi.

As for the scope of our duties, we only hope to punish corrupt officials and local tyrants and bring peace and prosperity to the people.

As for where the headquarters should be established, we have no objection."

Gongsun Ce nodded and said, "Then we will try it out in Chang'an first. The new department will be called Xiezhi Division. Six Fingers, you need to send disciples to Chang'an. Every place under Chang'an's jurisdiction, from a small village to a large county, will need Mohist disciples to be stationed there."

The birth of any new department is inevitably accompanied by trial implementation. The duties of the Xiezhi Office and the Jinyiwei are similar, but also different.

All the members of Xiezhi Institute are Mohist disciples. Their education and thoughts are biased towards Mohism, and their behavior is biased towards the people rather than the officials. It is a good thing that such an institution is biased towards the people, but it also requires the ability to distinguish right from wrong. It is not okay to listen to one side and believe in one side.

The local hierarchy system of the Qin Dynasty was prefecture, county, township, and pavilion.

There was a pavilion every ten miles, and a pavilion chief was appointed. Under the pavilion chief was a village chief, and there was one village chief for every li.

According to Gongsun Ce's plan, there should be at least one pavilion in Xiezhi Station, after all, these Mohist disciples all know Qinggong.

If something really happened, it shouldn't take long to run back and forth within ten miles relying on lightness skills, not to mention that there is more than one person in the Xiezhi residence.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight naturally had no objection, but while walking, he suddenly asked Gongsun Ce a question, "Mr. Gongsun, what do you think universal love is?"

"To put it superficially, universal love means loving others as if they were your own, without any distinction. But even if it's just superficial meaning, Six-Fingered Black Knight, have you done it?"

The Six-Fingered Black Knight had to admit that he was discriminatory. In fact, he was no different from other people and considered himself a Chu person.

“Qin people, Chu people… these names represent the place of birth of each person, but they do not represent the difference between people.

We cannot say that the Qin people were cruel and that the people of the other six states were necessarily kind. Just like the peony, even if it is a white peony seed, it may bloom into a yellow flower.

Six-Fingered Black Knight, you have a discriminatory mind, which makes it impossible for you to firmly practice universal love in your heart. This is why you have not been able to break through.

But I can't blame you. Mo Xia is kind and righteous. He divides people into good and evil. He punishes evil and promotes good for a long time, so it's natural that he can't treat others equally. "

The Six-Fingered Black Knight nodded. He agreed with Gongsun Ce's words, but how could he achieve universal love?

"Mr. Gongsun, how do you think I can break through?"

Gongsun Ce stared at the Six-Fingered Black Knight for a moment, then said calmly: “You need to find it yourself. If you can’t achieve absolute universal love, then go find the universal love that suits you.

After all, this is Mozi's theory: those who learn from me will live, and those who imitate me will die.

Even if you follow Mozi's path and reach the state of Grand Master perfection, you will still be helpless in the face of the barrier of unity between man and nature, because this is not your path."

The Six-Fingered Black Knight left in silence, and Gongsun Ce shook his head.

In Confucian theory, the evaluation of love is that there are different levels of love. The love for parents, wife and children is naturally higher than the love for strangers.

But Mozi disagreed. In his view, love is something that is equally extended to everyone. As long as everyone practices universal love, there will naturally be no disputes.

There is nothing wrong with the theory, but it is simply impossible in reality. The Confucian theory of love is more in line with reality.

However, breaking through the realm and understanding the theories of the ancients is just one's own understanding. Distorting the true meaning is also one's own understanding. As long as you firmly believe in it, then this understanding is correct.

Just like Gongsun Ce's theory of the five virtues that was like a mudslide, Gongsun Ce believed that he was not wrong, so he made a breakthrough, it was that simple.

However, it is very difficult for the Six-Fingered Black Knight to do so, because he has been influenced by Mohist thought since he was a child, and his thoughts are highly consistent with those of his Mohist predecessors.

If he were asked to get rid of old ideas and create new ones, it would be painful and difficult for him to accept.

When Gongsun Ce thought of this, he quickened his pace unconsciously. He almost forgot why he came to the forge.

Since Gongshu Chou and Master Ban are not in the forge, they are most likely in the cannery by the Wei River.

At this time, Gongshu Chou and Master Ban were staring at the waterwheel in a daze.

They were thinking about the problem of power. The reason why the waterwheel can keep moving is because the water keeps doing work on the waterwheel.

The working principle is that the kinetic energy of water is transferred to the kinetic energy of the waterwheel.

However, the two old men were not thinking about the principles, but about how to use the waterwheel as the power source for the large mechanical beast.

The four spiritual mechanical beasts of the Mohist school are already large enough, especially the Mechanical Azure Dragon, which occupies an area comparable to that of the Mechanical City. Once used, it is enough to easily destroy the Mechanical City.

However, the Mechanical Green Dragon itself is difficult to move, and it is also difficult for others to move the Mechanical Green Dragon.

Moreover, since the Qin State provided the raw materials, how could the two old guys not fantasize about driving a Gundam?

However, the larger the mechanical beast, the more difficult it is to find the power source.

So the two old men were thinking about how to install the waterwheel in the mechanical beast.

The two old men have been thinking about this problem for quite some time, but they have gained nothing so far, so they are just sitting here in a daze.

When Gongsun Ce arrived, he saw Gongsun Ce and Master Ban squatting on the shore, with their right hands supporting their cheeks and sighing from time to time.

"What are you two thinking about?"

"Greetings to General Gongsun."*2
Seeing Gongsun Ce coming, Gongshu Chou and Master Ban bowed to Gongsun Ce.

Gongshu Chou took out the blueprint from his arms, and Master Ban took it. Together, they opened the somewhat wide blueprint and displayed it in front of Gongsun Ce.

The moment Gongsun Ce saw the blueprint, his expression suddenly became a little subtle. These two old guys were really advanced.
