"The reason for the decline of the Mohist family is not unrelated to this. They only do things but don't talk about it. Therefore, their reputation is not obvious, and there are fewer and fewer Mohist disciples who want to join." Xiangfuzi sighed.
The Mohists succeeded because of their chivalry, and their failure was also due to their chivalry.
Because they are chivalrous, Mohist scholars are respected wherever they go, but there are too few who are truly willing to become chivalrous.
Master Xiang left the Mo family's secret realm, and finally looked back at the secret realm. After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his trap hand, and a huge dragon-breaking stone fell down, completely sealing the secret realm.

He knew Jin Yao's character very well. If he didn't put down the Dragon Breaking Stone, Jin Yao would definitely run out secretly and follow him. That would be too dangerous. Mao Sui would definitely be looking for opportunities to kill Jin Yao without leaving any further trouble.
In the secret realm, Jin Yao also heard the sound of the Dragon-Severing Stone falling, and he felt bitter. He really wanted to sneak out. Unfortunately, Master Xiang knew his character too well. The Dragon-Severing Stone fell, cutting off his chance to sneak out.
.
"We must come back alive!" Jin Yao's eyes turned red before he knew it, and he turned and walked towards the Mo family's scriptures. Now he is too weak and needs the protection of the Prime Minister at all times. Only when he becomes stronger can he
Be able to protect those you want to protect.
Linzi is bustling at night. Although there is a curfew, the lights are still bright and every household is lit up. It is very different from other countries at the same time.
The people in Linzi leaned against the windows curiously, wanting to know why the king ordered the implementation of a curfew that had been suspended for decades.
Loud noises suddenly erupted in Linzi City, and there were blurs of swords and swords, but there was no sound of killing.
In the deserted dark alleys, silhouettes of people flickered, and in the end, only a few people were able to walk out of the dark alleys alive.
Linzi's city guards watched silently, turning a blind eye even if they saw those men in black walking by.
"Thank you!" The man in black walked out of the dark alley, silently leaving money bags behind.
The city guards also knew the rules. They were paid to clean up and repair the corpses and dilapidated streets left after the war, without asking any questions about the identity of the person who took action.
"I don't know how many masters will die!" Gongsun Long and Han Tan stood by the window, quietly listening to the sound of fighting in Linzi City, and also banned Gongsun Linglong from traveling.
During these three days, hundreds of schools will restrain their disciples not to go out at night, so as not to be accidentally injured and misidentified, causing unnecessary trouble.
In the palace of King Qi, the king and queen are also waiting, waiting for the Confucian infighting to decide the winner. As for who will win, the king and queen don't know who they should expect to win.
The conservative faction won, and Qi's position became more stable, but there would be no changes.
If the Xunzi faction wins, Qi may undergo earth-shaking changes and rejoin the world war.
Therefore, the queen didn't know what she was expecting. She stood quietly on the Qi Palace and looked at the lights in the city.
"We are defeated!" Outside Linzi City, Master Xiang held a broken sword and looked at Xunzi, who was also seriously injured, and shook his head helplessly.
He helped Xunzi not only because of Jin Yao, but also because of the Mohist family.
Confucianism and Mohism are in similar situations. Confucianism needs reform, and Mohism also needs reform.
Therefore, Xiangfuzi supported Xunzi's Confucian reform. Once successful, the Mohist reform in the future would also receive support from Confucianism.
It's a pity that the conservative forces are too strong. There are no less than five masters participating, and the masters of the lineage are far superior to Xunzi's group. In the end, they were defeated, and the masters who were the backbone of the reform were almost dead.
There is no one available for further changes.
"Lost!" Xunzi also sighed and took back the broken sword. The neutral faction has always been neutral. It is too difficult for them to compete with the huge conservative faction.
"Leave the meaning of the scriptures and go to Langya. Confucianism still respects you as master!" The swordsmen around said, looking at Xunzi who was surrounded in the middle.
"Alas..." Xunzi nodded, supported the Prime Minister and walked slowly back to Linzi City.
"Teacher!" In the Jixia Academy, Han Fei and Li Si saw Xunzi coming back and greeted him nervously.
"Pack your things, we lost!" Xunzi said weakly, and then returned to his room alone.
"We lost!" Han Fei and Li Si were both shocked. The teacher in their eyes was so confident and omniscient, but this time, for the first time, they saw endless sadness and helplessness in the teacher's eyes.
"Change is never a simple matter. This is true for one family, let alone a country?" Han Fei never forgot his purpose of coming to Jixia to study with Xunzi.
Now, the Confucian reform led by Xunzi himself taught him a real lesson and told him through personal experience how difficult the road to reform is.
Three days went very quickly and very slowly.
Xunzi took his disciples and took nothing with him. In the night, he slowly left Linzi and headed east to Langya by the sea.
"Xun Kuang is defeated!" In Linzi City, hundreds of families who came to watch the ceremony knew the outcome of the battle.
Xunzi left the Jixia Academy's wine order and a room full of scriptures. He only wore Confucian robes and left quietly and desolately with three or four disciples.
Gongsun Long, Han Tan and other giants stood by the window and solemnly saluted Xunzi and his entourage as they left.
Some important figures from the Confucian Shoucheng sect personally saw off Xunzi at the city gate, but it was the three masters of the Neutral sect who actually saw him off.
No one spoke, they just bowed silently and stood by the roadside watching Xunzi leave.
This is also the style of ancient scholars. Even if Xunzi failed, his status in Confucianism would not be lower, or even higher, because he was a pioneer who really wanted to make Confucianism better, but he failed.
But his achievements will not be erased.
"Master!" Fu Nian held Tai'a in both hands and handed it to Xunzi. They did not help. Xunzi was defeated and left. They were not qualified to keep Tai'a.
"I gave it to you. I hope to see you become the head of Confucianism in the future!" Xunzi said with a smile.
In this war, both the conservative faction and the reform faction suffered heavy losses. If the Confucian school wanted to elect a new leader, it could only choose from the neutral faction.
Xunzi was very optimistic about this young man. If he could be recognized by the Sword of Power, he might really be able to overwhelm Confucianism in the future.
"Students must live up to Master's expectations!" Fu Nian nodded seriously and saluted.
Xunzi smiled, took Han Fei, Li Si and other disciples, and left Linzi.
"With two against three and countless masters, if it weren't for Master Xiang, they would have been defeated even faster!" Fu Hua sighed.
The other hundreds of families were not qualified to watch the battle, but they could see clearly that Xunzi's power was still too small, and the backbone force was not as good as Shoucheng Yiline. Although the top masters invited the Mohist Prime Minister, Shoucheng Yiline also invited Chu Nan Gong and
