Chapter 778 - 60: Uprising, Unity of Workers and Peasants (Part 3)_2
Shan Mu stepped forward upon hearing this and said, "The Sect Hierarch is not here; this is His Excellency, Ming Wang."
Ming Wang?
Upon hearing Shan Mu's words, Lu Xiu was startled. The Great Ming Sect had been proclaiming for a long time the coming of Ming Wang. Could it be they had truly found someone to play the role of Ming Wang?
He couldn't help but slightly narrow his eyes, looking at Duncan before him. Just from that moment their eyes met, he felt a slight prick, as if his spirit was being suppressed, and he couldn't look Duncan in the eye.
"The Wisdom Sutra of Thorough Understanding of All Laws."
Only by cultivating the Ming Sect's Supreme Secret Technique could one condense such a terrifying spiritual force field.
— Lu Xiu (Master of Xuanji Pavilion) (Mo Family) (Zhuge's Legacy) (Five-Star Gold).
While Duncan was sizing up the other, the elder was also scrutinizing Duncan. The spiritual power Duncan just demonstrated was undoubtedly the Great Ming Sect's supreme art. However, judging by Duncan's aura, he seemed a bit like someone practicing Dark Sha Strange Skills. It was unclear whether he had mastered the Profound Mystery Technique, the Blood God Technique, or some unknown martial arts.
"So, this is His Excellency, Ming Wang."
"May I inquire why Ming Wang has visited this secluded place of mine?" Lu Xiu glanced at Shan Mu and the experts of the Ming Sect with a respectful demeanor.
The strength of Shan Mu was on par with his own. This young man, with Shan Mu as his attendant, likely possessed martial arts not inferior to the Sect Hierarch of the Great Ming Sect.
Duncan's gaze seemed to peer beyond the other, as if he was probing everything within the valley.
Suddenly.
Duncan's eyes narrowed, and he slowly said, "Were you just making wooden oxen and flowing horses?"
Lu Xiu looked shocked upon hearing this.
He didn't know how the young man before him had peered into his actions. Hearing those words, Lu Xiu cupped his hands, "Ming Wang is also aware of Zhuge's wooden oxen and flowing horses technique?"
Duncan looked at him with great interest and asked, "Then do you know how to make Zhuge's repeating crossbows?"
Talking about his expertise, Lu Xiu couldn't help but stroke his beard, saying, "It isn't difficult."
"However, Zhuge's repeating crossbows are of little use against experts; it is hard to break through the protective true qi of top masters."
Duncan got up and asked, "What about the divine arm crossbow and the eight-ox crossbow?"
Hearing these words, Lu Xiu looked puzzled and asked, "What is Your Excellency referring to? Why have I never heard of them?"
These were bows and crossbows that appeared only in the Song Dynasty. It dawned on Duncan that he'd overlooked the issue of the era.
He gazed at the people before him and said slowly, "I wish to unify the world and return peace to the people."
"I wonder if the Mo Family would be willing to come forth and lend me a hand?"
What bold words.
Though the Ming Sect has been known as a faction of rebellion, speaking of unifying the world immediately surprised the successors of the Mo Family. They looked at Duncan with a hint of skepticism, feeling he was just blowing hot air.
After all, Duncan's fame was not well-known at the time; they had no idea where this Ming Wang came from.
Lu Xiu hesitated only for a moment before preparing to decline.
But Duncan interrupted him with a wave of his hand, his gaze sharp, eyes dark and deep, stating calmly, "The Farmer School's Elder Yuan has already agreed to emerge and assist me."
"The Healer Heritage, both Medicine King Valley and Hundred Flower Valley, have gathered in the Southern Frontier."
"I have come here."
"Not for the Xuanji Pavilion, nor for you, Lu Xiu, and certainly not because of the Magic Sect."
"I have come here."
"Merely to ask, do the descendants of the Mo Family still remember the tenet of universal love and opposition to aggression?"
At these words.
All Mo Family disciples present could not help but show expressions of surprise.
And beside Duncan, Yun Wangji, who hadn't been very noticeable, suddenly spoke, "Today, the world is in chaos, conflicts keep emerging, and the people are like pigs and dogs, at the mercy of others, foreign invaders encroach on the Central Plains, seize the sixteen prefectures of Yan Yun, and the Han people of the Northern Land have become slaves."
"If you still remember the teachings of the Mo Family patriarch, you should emerge to rescue the world from fire and water."
Novelist.
Lu Xiu seemed to recognize Yun Zhike's identity, a disciple of Baixiaosheng, precisely the legacy of one of the nine schools and ten sects in the martial world.
Novelist was a branch arising from minor officials, created from street talks, gossip, and hearsay.
Yun Zhike observed the thoughtful expressions of these people and spoke again, "Lord has already promised the Farmer School to make them the prominent school of today. In the future, when the world is unified, the Mo Family will naturally also be a prominent school."
A prominent school of today is a term from the Pre-Qin era. During that time, the Mo Family and the Confucians competed, being two major prominent schools.
The Farmer School used to be insignificant, but in Duncan's eyes, they are just a part of productivity.
With both craftsmanship and agriculture in hand, the world is mine.
Duncan has already subdued the legacy of the Farmer School; now he's just short of the Mo Family's craftsmanship legacy. Their knowledge and skills, wasted as they are in the martial world, should have long been put to practical use. Industry is the nation's key tool, essential for any future endeavor.
Lu Xiu expressed doubt about Yun Zhike's words. It wasn't that past dynasties hadn't invited the Mo Family's legacy to emerge, but in the end, once they unified the world, wasn't it always 'suppressing all others for the veneration of Confucianism'?
Because Confucianism was the most suitable school for ruling over the populace.
But Duncan doesn't need it; since he chose to emerge, he won't need the Confucian model. He's tolerant of an era of a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending.
Can this person really seize the world?
Lu Xiu's expression bore some suspicion. He couldn't discern the depth of Duncan's cultivation, but the Mo Family's legacy had strayed further and further over the centuries, mingling with the Magic Sect's six factions, acting on impulse. He was clearly unwilling to give a straightforward answer.
The visitor's strength was too overwhelming; had he been weaker, Lu Xiu would have directly declined on the spot.
Duncan seemed to have guessed their thoughts.
"It seems the legacy of the Mo Family truly has died out."
He turned, gently sighing, "These remaining people, calling themselves Mo Family disciples, are merely an empty shell."
