Wanderer of the whirling world

Chapter 39 Ancient Secrets
Holding two gold slips in his hand, Bao Zheng had a complicated expression on his face. He paused for a while before continuing:

"That's right, it is Fang Warlock who helped Lord Xinling complete his plan."

"According to the records in this notebook, a group of alchemists who mastered ghosts and gods and practiced different arts secretly went to Wei State and took the initiative to join Lord Xinling. They displayed inscrutable spells and mechanism skills, although they could not fight against a huge army. , but secretly carrying out a series of plots such as assassination, subversion, etc., are far superior to ordinary ranger warriors."

"They told Mr. Xinling that the power of the six kingdoms is exhausted, and that Qin's unification of the world is the general trend. It is also the best way to end the centuries-old disputes among the nations and liberate the world from the chaos of war. But they also promised Mr. Xinling that they would not Let the strong Qin sit and enjoy the world. They will use their means to destroy the Great Qin within 20 years after the unification of Qin, and re-establish a Mingjun for the world."

"Mr. Xinling saw their abilities with his own eyes, and he was amazed in his heart. Although he was reluctant, he also knew that it was inevitable that the world would return to Qin. After much consideration, he finally agreed."

"Everyone knows what happened in the future. Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and then brought himself to perish. What kind of role did the warlocks play? The notes did not detail it, but wrote another thing..."

Jia Xian has read poetry and books well, and he knows the history of the countries in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty like the palm of his hand. Bao Zheng's unbelievable remarks made him very puzzled, and he asked:
"My lord Bao, with all due respect, most of these predecessors' notes are fabricated. They are sensational and unbelievable."

Baogong nodded, and continued:

"Mr. Jia's words are correct. As scholars, we shouldn't have asked too much about ghosts and gods. However, after some research and research by our government, Scholar Ouyang, Scholar Fan and others, we found that what Fang Warlock said was not nonsense. "

Bachelor Ouyang refers to Ouyang Xiu, a famous politician and literary leader in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Fan Jingren refers to Fan Zhen, who was also a famous historian in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The two were Hanlin scholars at the time and were compiling and revising history books for Emperor Renzong.

"First of all, Mr. Xinling is definitely not a person who is willing to be mediocre. Although his words of indulgence in Wei State are understandable, they are not reasonable. Let's not mention this for now."

"The most crucial evidence is that when Scholars Ouyang and Scholars Fan compiled the "New Book of Tang" for the officials, they found an incomplete manuscript in the Da Nei Collection, which was written by Zhang Er, a disciple of Lord Xinling... "

Maybe it was because of telling the ancient secrets, Bao Zheng's mouth was a little dry, he took a sip of tea, and continued:

"Zhang Er's identity is mysterious. According to historical records, he was a famous scholar in Wei State at that time, and he worshiped under Lord Xinling. But what is puzzling is that after the Qin State destroyed Wei, a reward of a thousand gold was offered for his capture. Among the thousands of disciples of Jun, there is no one who can make Daqin pay so much attention and offer a reward of thousands of gold. The reason for this is not found in the historical data."

"And this Zhang Er was a powerful figure in the early Han Dynasty. He rebelled against Qin with Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and then conquered Zhao, restored Zhao, and established Zhao Wang. King of the Mountain, and then surrendered to Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty, and was named King of Zhao after he ruled the world."

"Everyone knows that even Zhang Liang and Xiao He, who are famous all over the world, are nothing more than feudal lords. Even the famous general Han Xin was relegated to the rank of Marquis of Huaiyin after being made king. Zhang Er was not famous for his military exploits, but he was conferred the title of Marquis by the Great Han Emperor. He is a vassal king with a different surname, and his status is extremely respected. Emperor Gaozu even betrothed his daughter, Princess Lu Yuan, to his son as his wife. The reason for this is really a great mystery through the ages."

"Throughout this person's whole life, he has been wandering in the rivers and lakes, and he seems to have been looking for the Lord of the Ming Dynasty to take refuge in him. However, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang favored him. Historians believe that it is because Liu Bang met Zhang Er when he was reckless, but only Based on this friendship, it is by no means enough to explain why Zhang Er was crowned king."

"It wasn't until Scholar Ouyang found Zhang Er's manuscript that we got the answer. Zhang Er's real identity is a Fang Warlock. Not only that, he is also the leader of the Fang Warlock Group that secretly subverted Daqin."

At this point, everyone was shocked.

Baogong was not surprised by everyone's reaction. When he read the bamboo slip manuscript for the first time, he was even more shocked.

This manuscript is incomplete, but the general content is still recognizable. In it, Zhang Er tells many secrets of the pre-Qin, Chu and Han Dynasties, including how Warlock Fang reached an agreement with Lord Xinling, and how he used his huge wealth and connections as Support, overthrow Daqin, and keep looking for the history of Mingzhu.

Fang Warlocks did not deceive Lord Xinling, they used their own methods to promote the demise of Qin State step by step, and have been looking for a suitable master for the world.

After the death of Lord Xinling, they spent decades and paid a huge price, and finally fulfilled their promise to Lord Xinling.

……

Bao Zheng took a sip of tea, waiting for the stunned crowd to digest and understand the information.

After a while, Xin Ziqiu was the first to ask:
"Lord Bao, even if Zhang Er is a magician, Lord Xinling used his hands to overthrow the Great Qin Kingdom, but what does this have to do with the gold slips and treasures?"

Bao Zheng nodded, the question was on point.

He gently put down the teacup, and continued:

"In the manuscript, Zhang Er mentioned that in the group of warlocks at that time, they were divided into two factions according to what they learned. One faction was in the Ming Dynasty, known as the Zhishi faction, which was good at politics, military art, and the way of combining vertical and horizontal forces. The other faction On the other hand, they are known as the hermit sect, they are rare in number, and they are good at spells, mechanisms, and mysterious divination techniques. They are real land gods. The two sects have different responsibilities, but their purpose is to subvert the Great Qin."

"This manuscript has only the first volume, and it is incomplete. In the manuscript, Zhang Er claimed to be the leader of the Zhishi faction of the alchemists, and described in detail how he himself worked step by step to find the Ming Lord for the common people in the world. He first took refuge in the momentum The biggest, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, suggested to them that the descendants of the six countries should be kings and unite the remnants of the six countries to fight against Qin. However, Chen Sheng insisted on being king himself and refused to accept his opinion, so Zhang Er left him, and Chen Sheng was finally defeated. After his death, all the relatives were betrayed. Then Zhang Er made several choices. First, he restored the land of Zhao and established the king of Zhao. Then he took refuge in Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and finally followed Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty. Finally, he helped Liu Bang to rule the world.

"The reason why he was favored by Liu Bang was because he revealed to him a secret treasure built by the hermit warlocks in the name of Lord Xinling."

"In Zhang Er's manuscript, there are no details about this treasure, but it is obvious that the news of the existence of this treasure alone has finally brought him the enfeoffment of a prince, which shows that the matter is of great importance."

"And the great ancestor Liu Bang did go to Daliang many times. On the surface, he paid homage to Lord Xinling, and arranged a large number of people to guard his tomb. The world thought it was because Liu Bang was born in a rash and respected Lord Xinling, who had a wide range of followers, but in fact That's not exactly the case, the people sent by Liu Bang have actually been secretly looking for the location of Lord Xinling's tomb."

"Because this mausoleum is where the treasure lies..."

Bao Zheng went round and round, and finally got to the point.
