Chapter 028 The Deal with the Six-Fingered Black Knight

However, when faced with the sudden appearance of the person, Chen Hao seemed to have expected it and did not feel any surprise.

Instead, he took two steps forward and tugged at Yan Lingji:

"Don't worry! The leader of the Mohist school won't harm us casually."

After saying that, he immediately bowed respectfully to the newcomer and said, "Junior Chen Hao greets Senior Six-Fingered Black Knight."

He wore a black cloak, carried the Mo Mei, the token of the leader of the Mo family, on his back, and had six fingers on his left hand.

The person who arrived was none other than the Six-Fingered Black Knight, the leader of the Mohist school, who had rushed over overnight.

With Chen Hao's reminder, Yan Lingji, Zi Nu, and Nong Yu instantly recognized the newcomer and quickly bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Master of the Mohist School!" ×3

"No need to be polite!"

Upon seeing that he had been recognized, the Six-Fingered Black Knight instantly raised his hand, and a powerful surge of true energy lifted Chen Hao and the other three to their feet.

Then Six-Fingered Black Knight looked at Chen Hao and said with a smile, "Young friend, your point of view just now, which is based on the unity of the entire Chinese nation, is quite novel and thought of things that no one has thought of before."

"But to unify all seven kingdoms, it will be necessary to launch an unprecedented and powerful war."

"The harm that was inflicted on the people of the seven nations at that time is something none of us can bear."

Chen Hao sighed, not answering Six-Fingered Black Knight directly, but instead asking, "Senior, can you see the state of things South Korea has come through?"

Without waiting for Six-Fingered Black Knight's response, Chen Hao spoke directly:

"White bones lie exposed in the wilderness, and for a thousand miles not a rooster crows!"

“The people living outside Xinzheng City were all emaciated and poorly clothed, and many did not even have a roof over their heads.”

"Look at this bustling city of Xinzheng. The wealthy lives of the nobles and kings here are entirely supported by the people of the entire country."

"However, these same officials and members of the royal family who received support from their own people did not think about doing anything practical for the people under their command. Instead, they tried every means to squeeze every last bit of food out of the people."

"I don't know what the Six-Fingered Black Knight meant by the devastation, but I know that even in South Korea, where there is no war now, the people are still living worse than pigs and dogs."

"Is this kind of life, where you can't even fill your stomach after a year of hard work, really what ordinary people want?"

Chen Hao gave a wry smile, somewhat helplessly, "Many people here would rather have a full meal on the battlefield before dying than live a life of hunger and hardship."

"For them, a strong and powerful country that can bring them a prosperous life is what they want to see."

"As for who rules them?"

"As long as they're not from another race, do you think anyone would care?"

Chen Hao took a deep breath and then said to Six-Fingered Black Knight, "Moreover, compared to the hundreds of years of conflict and the casualties caused by the continuous wars among the seven kingdoms, the damage that unifying the six kingdoms could bring is nothing, isn't it?"

"..."

The Six-Fingered Black Knight, the leader of the Mohist school, pondered for a moment and shook his head. “Young friend, your words are quite consistent with the Mohist school’s advocacy of universal love, but you are quite different on the principle of non-aggression.”

"However, it is indeed possible that your thoughts may come to pass in the future, and I do not deny that."

In fact, there have been two opposing views within the Mohist school over the years:

One faction advocated maintaining the status quo among the seven kingdoms to ensure stability, while the other believed that only unification could end the continuous wars.

This is one of the reasons why Six-Fingered Black Knight was able to quickly accept Chen Hao's ideas.

Hearing Six-Fingered Black Knight's approval, Chen Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, with such a powerful figure, seemingly at the level of oneness with heaven and man, in front of him, it would be a lie to say that Chen Hao wasn't nervous.

He then quickly changed the subject, asking Six-Fingered Black Knight, "May I ask what brings you to Qingpingzhai, senior?"

Upon hearing Chen Hao's question, Six-Fingered Black Knight turned to look at the stacks of books on the bookshelves in Qingpingzhai. "I came to Xinzheng, Korea this time because I received information about Qingpingzhai's paper and calligraphy, so I wanted to come and find out more."

"While we're at it, let's see if we can strike up a partnership with you, young boss."

As for that powerful figure who can influence celestial phenomena and draw upon the essence of the sun and moon? In fact, the answer was already known when Six-Fingered Black Knight obtained the exact time Chen Hao arrived in Xinzheng City and the moment he saw him.

However, after sensing Chen Hao's specific strength and receiving a concrete inheritance, Six-Fingered Black Knight had already extinguished some of his thoughts.

"cooperate?!"

Chen Hao's eyes lit up instantly, and then he immediately smiled slyly at Six-Fingered Black Knight and said, "Senior, you must have heard what I said to Miss Zi Nu just now, right?"

"Whether it's papermaking or printing, as long as our predecessors can afford the cost, we can trade them."

"No money is required. You can exchange rare books, martial arts traditions, knowledge of divination and divination, forging techniques, and medical skills with me."

"certainly..."

Chen Hao gave Six-Fingered Black Knight a envious look, "I also greatly admire the Mo family's mechanical arts. If you're willing, senior, you can take these two techniques back with you at any time."

The Six-Fingered Black Knight was speechless!

But he quickly laughed, “Young friend, you are very interesting! You are not interested in money, which is what the world pursues, but instead you are collecting all kinds of knowledge.”

"but..."

Six-Fingered Black Knight pondered for a moment, then said, "The Mo Family mental cultivation method and the Mo Family mechanical arts that I practice are related to the Mo Family's heritage and cannot be traded to outsiders at will."

"But if you are interested in mechanical arts, I can teach you some basic mechanical arts."

"Although these basic mechanical techniques are not as advanced as those of the Mohists, they were still practiced in all seven kingdoms and can be considered the foundation of both the Mohist and Gongshu schools of mechanical techniques."

The Mohist mechanism allows wood and stone to move freely; the bronze mouth opens, so ask Gongshu.

Although the Six-Fingered Black Knight only agreed to trade with Chen Hao using basic mechanical skills, Chen Hao immediately showed an excited expression: "Of course, no problem, senior!"

“As long as you teach me the basics of mechanical engineering, I will immediately give you knowledge of papermaking and printing.”

"For a sect like the Mohist school that excels in manufacturing, once you obtain the method, you should be able to manufacture it very quickly."

The Six-Fingered Black Knight, the leader of the Mohist school, immediately nodded in satisfaction, "That's good!"

"However, even though it's just basic mechanical arts, it's very difficult to get started if you don't have enough talent in this area."

"Therefore, I will only stay in Xinzheng City for a month. After a month, regardless of whether you can learn the basic mechanical arts, I will leave."

“Of course!” Chen Hao nodded excitedly.

With a super brain and the assistance of a great sage, Chen Hao naturally did not think he could not comprehend the so-called mechanical arts.

Moreover, his major in the last century was mechanical design, manufacturing and automation, and materials science.

Chapter 029 Han Fei's Imminent Return and the General's Mansion's Secret Conspiracy

After agreeing to the deal, Chen Hao immediately turned around, took out two books from a cabinet, and handed them to Six-Fingered Black Knight:

"Senior! These two books contain details about papermaking and printing techniques."

"However, the text used in the records is Korean."

"If you are unfamiliar with Korean, you can ask me to translate and compare."

"Oh?!" Six-Fingered Black Knight took the book from Chen Hao's hand and looked at him with some doubt. "You're giving me both methods so quickly. Aren't you afraid I'll run away with the book?"

Chen Hao smiled and asked in return, "Senior, do you know how?"

Although there are people in this world who go back on their word and break their promises, there will certainly be no Mohist leader among them.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate the Mohist mental techniques to such a high level.

It is important to understand that the transmission of the mental cultivation methods of various schools of thought during this era each contained their own unique concepts.

A practitioner who does not agree with his own philosophy and cannot put his philosophy into practice will never reach the level that the leader of the Mohist school has reached.

Six-Fingered Black Knight's eyes flashed, and he instantly understood Chen Hao's reliance:

"It seems that you have a very clear understanding of the internal transmission of the various schools of thought during the Hundred Schools of Thought period!"

After saying that, Six-Fingered Black Knight flipped through the two books and said to Chen Hao, "I have studied the languages ​​of the seven kingdoms, so I can understand these two books."

"Furthermore, young friend, you can set a time and place, and I can begin teaching you basic mechanical arts now."

"This..." Chen Hao pondered for a moment, then looked at the travel-worn Six-Fingered Black Knight and immediately said, "Senior has traveled all night and must be exhausted. Why don't I arrange a place for you to rest first, and then we can start teaching tomorrow when you are fully rested?"

"Oh?!"

Six-Fingered Black Knight was surprised that Chen Hao was so observant at such a young age. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "That's fine too."

"Sister Yan Ling Ji..."

Just as Chen Hao was about to ask Yan Lingji to help arrange for the Six-Fingered Black Knight, he suddenly stopped.

Because he didn't know where to arrange for Six-Fingered Black Knight to stay.

There was no room for lodging or rest in Qingpingzhai, and the residence outside the city for Chen Hao and Yan Lingji was just enough for the two of them, with no extra rooms.

After all, that courtyard was just a temporary structure built by Chen Hao and Yan Lingji.

However, arranging for Six-Fingered Black Knight to stay at the inn for a month would seem disrespectful to him.

So Chen Hao was in a bit of a dilemma for a moment.

Six-Fingered Black Knight seemed to see through Chen Hao's predicament, smiled faintly, and waved his hand dismissively: "A place to stay that I can rest is enough, young friend, there's no need to make it too formal!"
