The Mohist village (墨家村) nestled deep within the Taihang Mountains valley in Qinghe was established by the retired Tang general Pei Min. It was built on top of one of the secret vaults established by ancient Chinese Assassins that contained a vast armory for future Assassins for use against their enemies. Thus, Pei Min sought to use the village's remote location to safeguard the vault's contents and grant access to any possible xiake he may encounter.
History
At some point after 754, Li E, a former Tang soldier from the 7th Army of the Anxi Protectorate and the last Hidden One of the Great Desert, came to the village where he became a valued member of the community, befriending its inhabitants including Pei Min and his disciples, Jing Jing and Kong Kong.[1]
In 755, after Li E saved Yan Jiming, the son of Changshan Grand Protector Yan Gaoqing, and Jiming's elderly caretaker Chen Wu from guards sent by Boling Commandery's Grand Protector Zhang Wanqing, the Hidden One brought them to the village. While Chen Wu remained behind to recuperate from his injuries, Li E and Yan Jiming set out to the neighbouring counties to rally the loyalists against general An Lushan's army, the Yeluohe.[2] Jiming would never return as he and his father would be captured at the Battle of Changshan and were executed in Luoyang, while Li E was captured by the Golden Turtles' secret ally General Wang Chengye of the royal Feathered Forest guards and imprisoned in the Mengshan Giant Buddha to await execution.[3]
A year later, after escaping from prison, Li E returned to the village with the help of the poet Li Bai. There, he reunited with an emotional Pei Min and his disciples.[4] Seeking revenge against the Golden Turtles for their role in An Lushan's rebellion, Li E was granted access to the secret vault under the village by Pei Min. After donning the Heavenly King's Armor and equipping the spear used by Wei Yu and the Fish Belly Blade, Li E left the village with a recovered Chen Wu and made their way to Pingyuan Commandery to ally with Yan Gaoqing's cousin, Yan Zhenqing.[5]
