Tomb Raider: I Can Hear Antiques Talk

Chapter 60

The second uncle asked Xiao Ran mysteriously: "Do you know how Faqiu and Mojin got here?"

Xiao Ran thought to himself, as long as he has read a little literature related to the Three Kingdoms, even if he has watched the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he will know the famous lines in Chen Lin's "Yuzhou Essay for Yuan Shao".

"...Cao also specially sent General Qiu Zhonglang and Captain Mojin to reveal everything they encountered... polluting the country, abusing the people, poisoning ghosts..."

Chen Lin regards the establishment of Faqiu and Mojin as one of Cao Cao's crimes of harming the country and the people, so vicious that even the dead ghosts will not be spared.

But at least from this point, it can be seen that, not to mention moving mountains and unloading mountains, the making of hills and touching gold are really recorded in historical documents.

After listening to Li Ran's explanation, the second uncle first appreciated Xiao Ran's understanding of this historical fact, and then scoffed at Chen Lin's statement.

"Various like Dong Zhuo, tyrannical like Lv Bu, you must be honest and righteous when you do things. You can either change the emperor or change your godfather. Who is Cao Cao? He is one of the three princes and a hero of his life. Even if he really wants to do something bad, he will not be so stupid as to be real Name your own organization 'Tomb Robbery Office'. The original titles of the so-called Faqiu Zhonglang and Mojin Xiaowei are no longer available, but according to my speculation, even the original functions may not be as simple as Daodouer."

Xiao Ran was puzzled: "Even if the original name is more grandiose, does this troop have other uses?"

The second uncle told Xiao Ran his point of view based on the relevant information he had collected over the years, as well as some anecdotes and legends passed down from generation to generation in the Xiao family.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, in the seventh year of Lingdi Guanghe, the imperial court was corrupt, animals were eating their salary, eunuchs and relatives were fighting endlessly, and border wars continued. It coincided with a severe drought across the country. And the shadow of food.However, the heavy taxation did not alleviate the slightest bit, and the people's dissatisfaction with the imperial court had accumulated to the peak.

The Taiping Dao founded by Julu man Zhang Jiao has been active for many years. So in this year, he shouted the slogan "The sky is dead, the yellow sky is standing, the year is Jiazi, and the world is auspicious", and launched the Yellow Turban Uprising like a huge wave. This made the already crumbling Eastern Han government even more precarious.

In order to pacify the Yellow Turban Uprising, warlords from all over the country recruited troops and bought horses, and took this as an opportunity to support themselves, which created an opportunity for the warlord separatism at the end of the Han Dynasty and the emergence of the final situation of the Three Kingdoms.

Originally, regardless of the common people, the Taiping Dao, or ambitious warlords like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, even if the class positions are different, the ultimate goal is to restore the world to a peaceful situation, which is in their respective interests.

But there is a group of people whose goal is not to make the world peaceful, but to make the chaotic world last forever, and welcome the arrival of the so-called "true immortals" with the chaos and death of thousands of people.

The second uncle has also "searched" many ancient tombs and relics in recent years. Later, in an ancient tomb at the end of Han Dynasty in Hutonggou, Dalu County, a batch of bamboo slips was found. "The sect attached to Zhang Jiao's Taiping Dao in the Yellow Turban Uprising at the end of the Han Dynasty.

But the philosophy of Tiancanjiao is more radical. They believe that only chaos in the world can welcome the "true immortals" to come to the world, and finally truly achieve the world's prosperity.

As a means of matching, the actions of the Tiancan Sect are also quite bloody and cruel. Not only do the followers cut off part of their bodies to worship the real immortals, but they also like to carry out indiscriminate massacres and sacrifices to ordinary people, officers and soldiers, and even inside the Taiping Dao. A demonic method of sowing beans into soldiers and raising corpses into an army.

It can be seen from this that the so-called "true immortals" of Tiancan sect are actually some kind of demon immortals, demon immortals, ghost immortals, or in more modern terms, evil gods.

They acted under the banner of Taipingdao, and their cruel methods led to more vigorous strangulation of officers and soldiers from all walks of life and the dissatisfaction of the common people. This also attracted the hatred of most of the orthodox Taipingdaoists headed by Zhang Jiao, and even made the uprising unprepared. Hastily launched under sufficient circumstances.

So before Zhang Jiao launched the Yellow Turban Uprising, he carried out a "puritanism" operation against the Tiancan sect in the church.

Perhaps it was because the Puritan movement was not thorough. Zhang Jiao died of illness inexplicably in the same year of the uprising, and the vigorous Yellow Turban Uprising was also quickly suppressed, offering sacrifices to the situation where the warlords were united.

After the Yellow Turban Uprising ended, although the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army continued to fight on their own under the banners of "Baibo", "Black Mountain" and "Qingzhou", it was difficult to set off a huge wave like before.The warlords of all walks of life were also busy fighting for power among themselves. At best, they used these small legions as a source of soldiers or as a stepping stone to accumulate achievements. The secret Tiancan sect also took advantage of the situation to escape the disaster.

Attacking the Yellow Turban Army was no longer the mainstream of the military and political situation at that time. In addition, the bloody and doomsday ideas of the Tiancan Sect were unpopular. Even some bloody sacrifices made by the Tiancan Sect in various places were regarded as some small cases and were not taken seriously. .

It was not until Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou that the records about Tiancandao reappeared.There is a sentence in the pile of bamboo slips, implying that the death of Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, and Cao Cao's massacre of the city when he conquered Xuzhou, all seem to be related to the Tiancan religion.

According to the timing of Chen Lin's proclamation, the so-called General Faqiu Zhonglang and Captain Mojin were established roughly during this period.

The second uncle believes that if Cao Cao's massacre of the city is related to the Tiancan religion, and the Tiancan religion takes serving evil gods, performing adulterous sacrifices, exorcising demons, and welcoming chaos as its concepts, then the establishment of Faqiu and Mojin can exorcise evil spirits and suppress evil spirits. The production of the Faqiu Seal and the Touching Gold Talisman is naturally to deal with the Tiancan Sect and the evil gods it serves.

But the records about these things are too secretive and there are few materials, so most of these are the second uncle's inferences.In those bamboo slips, the last record about Cao Cao's attack on the Tiancan religion appeared in the Northern Expedition to Wuhuan.

It is said that part of the Tiancan sect hid in Liaodong under the attack of Cao Cao, trying to deceive the relatively ignorant Wuhuan tribe, and took the opportunity to trouble the Central Plains again, but in the end they were strangled by Cao Cao when he personally conquered Wuhuan. Be wild.

Combined with the illusion that Xiao Ran saw, the second uncle deduced that after the Tiancan Sect was completely wiped out, although Cao Cao's treatment of Faqiu and Mojin would not be like a dead dog, but it was also hidden.

These two ad hoc posts mainly responsible for exterminating cults, even though they didn’t really do the dirty work of making money and making money when performing tasks in the ruins of ancient tombs, they were after all melon fields and plums, and Cao Cao was once attacked by political opponents. , and therefore be disbanded at the same time as the enemy's demise.

If Cao Cao is regarded as the facial makeup image of "Ning teach me to blame the world, don't teach the world to blame me", it is just disbanding rather than silence, and he can really afford to be a "loyal person".

Now that this special force has been disbanded, there is nothing wrong with using what you are good at in order to survive.So after being passed down from generation to generation, Faqiu and Mojin became the official titles, and Daodou'er became the main business until they were wiped out by Emperor Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty.

After listening to the second uncle's narration, Xiao Ran sighed sincerely: "According to what you said, Faqiu and Mojin could have kept their loyalty and history, but it would be a good destination to retire after success, but it's a pity that they ended up really It's a bit miserable..."
