Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 284 I Want It All! (4000)

When it comes to the history of the Wa country, Wu Liang understands it by analogy, but he has some simple understanding.

As far as he knows, when the Chinese Empire was in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Wa Kingdom was still in the most primitive "Jomon Era".

The Wa people in this period were still living in caves, living in a relatively backward tribal society, living a life of gathering, fishing, and hunting, and they didn’t even form their own characters.

The so-called "Jomon period" is an era named after the unearthed Jomon pottery.

At that time, Qi State had already had contacts with Wa State because of its geographical location.

And now.

That is, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the country of Wa has entered the "Yayoi Era".

Influenced by the culture of the Celestial Dynasty, the Wa country at this time began to grow rice and use various metal utensils, such as bronze swords and spears, and the small days improved slightly.

However, the Wa country in this era is not peaceful. It is so big that it is divided into more than 30 small countries. The small countries are either united or fighting with each other, and the fighting is very lively.

Among them, the two countries that caused the most trouble were the "Yamatai Kingdom" and the "Dog Slave Kingdom".

Later, when the Celestial Dynasty officially became the state of Wei, Shu, and Wu.

Both countries also sent envoys to pay tribute to the Celestial Dynasty.

It's just that "Yamatai Kingdom" is located in the north of the archipelago, so it leans towards Wei Kingdom.

Both "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" and "Three Kingdoms" have records: Cao Rui, the reigning Emperor of Wei Ming at that time, also bestowed "Himiko, Queen of Yamatai Kingdom" with a gold seal with purple ribbon engraved with "King of Wei and Japanese", and hundreds of bronze mirrors. Some of the gifts inside were used as a gift in return, and later envoys were sent to the Wa Kingdom to publicly acknowledge the legitimacy of the "Yamatai Kingdom".

And the "dog slave country" is located in the south of the archipelago, so it leans towards Wu country.

Later, the celestial dynasty was unified, and the Sima family usurped Wei and established Jin.

And the Wa country was gradually unified into the "Yamato country", and the so-called "Yamatai country" and "Dog slave country" also disappeared in the torrent of history.

However, during this period, it is worth mentioning that the current "Yamatai Queen Himiko".

Although there are not many records of this woman in the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", it is also quite mysterious: "Huan and Lingjian, the Japanese kingdom was in chaos, and they attacked each other, and there was no master for years. There was a woman named Himiko, who was old and never married. Serving ghosts and gods, able to confuse people with demons, so they became kings together. There are thousands of servants, few of them are seen, and only one man feeds and passes on speeches. They live in palaces, buildings and gates, and they are all guarded by soldiers. The law is strict."

She is very old and unmarried. There are a thousand maids serving her, and only one man brings her food, but very few people have seen her real face, and they usually just pass on the word.

The most important thing is that she was able to become a queen when no one was in power in the Wa Kingdom for many years because of her ability to "behave ghosts and gods, and be able to confuse people with demons".

This is very mysterious...

It should be known that after archaeological research in later generations, and then compared with the "Ghost Way" of the later Wa Kingdom with "Himiko" as the originator, it was discovered that the ancient religion "Ghost Way" of the Wa Kingdom was developed from the ancient "Taoism" of the Celestial Dynasty.

That is to say.

The ability of "Himiko" to be "co-established as king" originated from the Celestial Dynasty.

And it sure is.

"Taoism" must have been spread to Japan before "Himiko", and of course it also includes the mysterious "alchemy" contained in "Taoism".

After all, this thing is not something that can be studied and understood overnight.

Just like Wu Liang now, although he has a lot of advanced knowledge in the 21st century, he does not dare to say that he can master Yu Ji's "art of geomancy" and Zhuge Liang's "tactics of war".

Even the more I know, the more I am in awe, and the more I feel "ignorant".

Therefore, even if this kind of thing is passed on to the Japanese country, it may take several generations of study and enlightenment, and it also happens that someone has a certain talent before it is possible to gradually understand the mystery.

of course.

If it's just bluffing and deceiving to make a living like Yu Ji did before, then it's as if Wu Liang didn't say anything.

However, people who bluff and deceive have existed since ancient times, and those who can deceive many small countries to "establish themselves as kings together" are rare. As everyone knows, it is not an easy task to control the political power. If there is no power with corresponding strength, it is a tree without roots. , so Wu Liang would rather believe that this "Himiko" must have mastered some real talents.

But then again.

Now that Wu Liang is living in the same era as "Himiko", is there a chance to meet this legendary "famous old woman"?
But the moment this idea appeared, Wu Liang dismissed it immediately.

Not to mention that Boss Cao’s great cause of the Wei Kingdom has not stabilized yet, even if it stabilizes in the future, today’s Wa Kingdom is just a difficult stage of transition from a primitive tribal society influenced by the culture of the Celestial Dynasty. In the period of insufficient food, there is no such thing as "thick burial". To be precise, even the "funeral culture" may be extremely crude.

At this time, what are you doing with the Huren army to such a place where no shit?
Is it poverty alleviation?
Sorry, we are not good people, and we will never engage in such a loss-making business!
unless……

Hearing Taiji's discovery in "The Biography of Mu Gong", Wu Liang suspected that the "ghost way" of "Himihu" had something to do with Lu Zuo who was sent to Japan by Jiang Taigong.

Unless it can be proved that there is an inevitable relationship between the two, and Wu Liang is given a reason to go.

He would reluctantly consider going to have a look, and he would also apply to Boss Cao to bring more food and supplies, so as not to let his brothers starve with him when he got the place, then the gain would outweigh the loss...

thought here.

Wu Liang came back to his senses, and seeing Yu Jizheng looking at him eagerly, he couldn't help but wondered: "Oh? Why did you stop? What else did you discover, why don't you keep talking?"

"The old man saw that the young master was a little absent-minded, and thought that the young master had discovered something..."

Yu Ji cleared his throat and said with some embarrassment.

"No, no, I just remembered some unimportant things, you go on."

Wu Liang repeatedly waved his hands.

"good."

Yu Ji obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't ask further, just nodded and continued, "I just said that Duke Mu and Lu Yin stayed in Qi State to supervise the country... But after this matter, Jiang Taigong has already cared about it."

"In order to avoid the recurrence of brother-in-law, Jiang Taigong ordered Qi Dinggong to make a special copper seal, and wrote the eight characters: 'The Taigong blesses everything without taboo', and then took three drops of blood essence from himself and used secret methods to refine it into copper. Among the seals, this copper seal has the effect of resisting this kind of alchemy, and established the rule that this seal can only be handed down to the hands of the kings of Qi, this is the origin of the 'Taigong Seal'."

"Since then, the state of Qi has been peaceful for a hundred years, until Duke Ai of Qi was cooked and killed by King Zhou."

"After the death of Duke Ai of Qi, the king of Zhou named Lu Jing as Duke Hu of Qi, but the 'Taigong Seal' did not fall into the hands of Duke Hu of Qi, but has since been lost."

"At that time, Duke Mu of Qiu and Lu Yin were no longer alive, but the descendants of the Qiu family were still important ministers of the Qi State, and could still supervise the affairs of the state."

"Qi Hugong Lu Jing did not get the 'Taigong Seal'. Firstly, he was afraid that Qi Aigong's younger brother Lu Shan and his family would retaliate, and secondly, he was afraid that the descendants of the Qiu family would take the opportunity to secretly use alchemy to harm him. Yingqiu moved to Bogu."

"But things backfired."

"This move not only did not dilute the hatred between my younger brother Lu Shan and Qi Aigong's family, but also made the descendants of the Qiu family start to worry about their own situation, so the two sides secretly joined forces, and after only a few years, they worked together to kill Qi Hugong. After his death, Lu Shan successfully replaced him as Duke Xiang of Qi."

"But the matter is not completely closed after that."

"Although Qi Xiangong Lu Shan got the help of the descendants of the Qiu family to become the king of Qi, he also saw the power of the Qiu family because of this, so he also had some scruples about him from then on, and he wanted to kill Qi Hu Gong. The crime of killing the king and disobeying ministers is placed on the Qiu family, and all of them should be eradicated to prevent future troubles."

"At that time, the patriarch of the Qiu family was called Qiu Loujia. He was worried about the end of all the birds, so after hearing some rumors, he led the whole family to migrate overnight, and fled all the way to Chu State. Don’t bother me about Qi’s affairs any more.”

"As for the whereabouts of the 'Taigong Seal', it has completely disappeared since then. Unexpectedly, after a thousand years, the son was found in Qi Aigong's tomb..."

Speaking of this, Yu Ji finally stopped, this is the information he found in his raid on "Mu Gong Biography".

As for whether there are other things in it, Wu Liang thinks there should be some. After all, judging from the number of bamboo slips, there must be more than that. Yu Ji should just pick up the important ones and say them first, or it may not be possible in the future Look it up carefully, only saw a small part of it.

"This is right, everything is right..."

While digesting what Yu Ji said, Wu Liang nodded slightly and said, "First of all, it is said in the "History of Qi" that Duke Hu of Qi, Lv Jing, suddenly moved the capital, causing the people of Qi to complain, but it did not explain the specific reason why he insisted on moving the capital. , but it is explained in "Mu Gong Biography", and it is very reasonable."

"Secondly, Qiu Mugong and Lu Yin replaced his father Jiang Taigong and his elder brother Qi Dinggong in guarding Yingqiu, the capital of Qi State, so the descendants of later generations took "Qiu" as their surname, and "Qi History" said that Lu Shan and Qi Aigong's family members were They joined forces with the 'Yingqiu people' to rebel and killed Duke Hu of Qi, so the 'Yingqiu people' here should be referring to the descendants of the Qiu family, and they are completely correct."

"Again, I've been thinking before that the Qiu clan is the blood of Jiang Taigong. As long as Qi is still in power, they have no reason to move their families as relatives. Now they can be regarded as obtained in "Mu Gongzhuan" A very reasonable answer that makes perfect sense."

"It's just that this 'Taigong Seal' was actually found in the Qiai Cemetery. This matter still makes me a little puzzled."

"The "History of Qi" says that the body of Duke Ai of Qi was smuggled back by Lu Shan and his family members for burial. In this way, Shan Lu should also know that the 'Taigong Seal' is hidden here, but after he killed Lu Shan Isn't it strange that Jing didn't take back the 'Taigong Seal' after she became Duke Xian of Qi?"

"You need to know that since the 'Taigong Seal' was handed down by Jiang Taigong and established the rule that it can only be handed down to the hands of successive Qi kings, then the meaning is the same as the handed down jade seal of the country. Lu Shan should not not get it back. .”

"Unless, even Lu Shan doesn't know that the 'Taigong Seal' is hidden in the Qiai Cemetery."

"And the descendants of the Qiu family may not know it. If they knew, they would be able to conclude that Lu Shan did not have the 'Taigong Seal' in his hands. Therefore, when they learned that Lu Shan wanted to kill them all, they might use the family seal The alchemy that was passed down was plotting against him, instead of fleeing with the whole family. After all, when Qi Hugong Lu Jing's move of the capital made them feel uneasy, they would unite with Lu Shan and Qi Aigong's family to rebel, which shows that they Already have a disobedient heart."

"And if Lu Shan and Qiu's descendants don't know the whereabouts of the 'Tai Gong Yin', then only Qi Ai Gong's family will be left."

"Perhaps Qi Aigong's family also had selfish intentions. They deliberately hid the 'Taigong Seal', perhaps in order to allow Qi Aigong's heir to succeed to the throne instead of Lu Shan's uncle. It is a pity that Lu Shan did not give them this opportunity. The descendants of the Qiu family who fought against Lu Shan fled overnight after realizing Lu Shan's murderous intentions."

"To the extent that Qi Aigong's family members had no chance to interfere, so the matter had to be put on hold, and as time passed, no trace of the 'Taigong Seal' was completely cut off."

"..."

Listening to what Wu Liang seemed to be talking to himself, and also seemed to be explaining to everyone, everyone sometimes showed doubts, and sometimes showed expressions of sudden realization.

Only Zhuge Liang looked at them strangely, and couldn't help asking: "But brother talented... aren't we a professional tomb robbery team? Aren't the treasures and gold and jade artifacts in the tomb in the tomb robbery picture? Why bother with these things?" Irrelevant things, will it appear that we are not professional enough?"

"Brother Zhuge, you don't understand this."

Wu Liang smiled and said persuasively, "People in the world only know that treasures and objects of gold and jade are precious, but they can't figure out that these are just things outside the body, whether they are born or not, what is really precious is the lost knowledge and knowledge in the tomb. Skills, let me ask you, if you had ten catties of gold and an eight-array secret to choose from, what would you choose?"

Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and said very seriously: "If it's a tomb robbery, I will definitely want them all."

"I let you want it all!"

Wu Liang immediately gave him a dunk on the back of the head, and asked after staring, "We grown-ups want all of them. You are still young, so you can only choose one. Given another chance, what choice do you want to make?"

Zhuge Liang covered his head and said aggrievedly: "Brother Youcai wants me to choose the secret of the Eight Formation Diagram, so I will choose the secret of the Eight Formation Diagram..."

"What do you mean I want you to choose the secret of the eight formations? I have always convinced people with reason, how can I force you, you choose again, just choose according to your own ideas!"

Wu Liang cast a threatening look and said with a smile.

"If you really choose according to your own ideas...then I will definitely choose the secret of the Eight Formation Diagram, I'm not stupid!"

Looking at Wu Liang's already eager fist, Zhuge Liang said without hesitation.

　Thanks to [idleworm] boss for his support.
