Chapter 120: The Demon Gate
PS: Because they are contrary to the mainstream, everything about them cannot enter the public eye, so that the public has all kinds of speculations and legends about them because they cannot understand them, and their images are further distorted in these speculations and legends, which is also the common situation of almost all marginalized groups. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info and the suppression of marginal groups by the mainstream discourse, in orthodox writing, is also called "defending the way and subduing demons". In the same way, there are always groups that want to enter the mainstream discourse, and make their positions clear by suppressing marginal groups, so as to achieve the status of auxiliary wings of the mainstream discourse, such as Buddha and Tao.

Major factions
1. Yin Sect
In the literal sense, yin and yang are opposite, and can also be seen as a symbol of women. The literal meaning of 癸 is the women's menstrual affair (from which it is inferred that the "purple blood **" of Li Gong is really chilling, and learning this thing is no better than learning the "Sunflower Treasure Book"), and the other meaning of the decay is through "揆", and the "Historical Records" says that "the words of the decay are also, and all things can be measured, so it is called 癸." It can be seen that the word yin actually contains the meaning of women controlling the world.
The Yin Sect holds the most essential part of the Heavenly Demon Strategy. It is believed that in part, it is because the Yin Sect has the longest history. After all, the history of women's work groups engaged in the service industry is already in history at the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period at the latest. And this class has never been interrupted, but it has always been on the margins of history. In "The Quest for Qin". The strength of such a class is already considerable, such as Zhu Ji, Shan Meimei and others, which can be said to be a model of conquering the world by conquering men; Feng Fei, Shi Sufang, etc., who are slightly second-class, are also famous ministers and have a great influence.
Although at this time, they are only passively coping in the face of fate, and lack the consciousness to take the initiative to use their influence to control their own destiny. But I believe that these many women with a blue heart have gone with the flow and lived a precarious life too much. Eventually, some people will suddenly wake up to the great potential of their own class, especially when they are fortunate enough to receive such a subversive guiding document as "Heavenly Demon Strategy". The Yin Sect also came into being.
Of course, in the hidden history, the influence of the Yin Sect on the course of history is only greater than we imagined, such as Empress Ze Tianwu and Chen Yuanyuan. Even today in the 21st century. We can still be in some social hot news. Glimpse the slender figure of the activities of the descendants of the Yin Sect.
2. Mending the Heavens
The history of the Ranger civilization is also long. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Assassins were allowed to operate in mainstream history, but with the establishment of the Great Unified Empire, the golden age of the Assassins came to an abrupt end. It is believed that many members of the Assassin class were very uncomfortable with such a drastic change of identity, and the degree of hatred for Qin Shi Huang in the follow-up of Jing Ke and Gao's former servants is believed to have been somewhat influenced by this reason.
The Assassins followed a code that was different from normal people, even diametrically opposed. Must always be prepared to abandon their families and children and betray their relatives and friends (see Nie Zheng, Yu Rang and other Assassin predecessors for specific examples). It is also because of this that when they lose their support. It is also bound to be the most difficult to integrate into the society of normal people. The nature of the Assassin community meant that they could not have a true partner, which also meant that the Assassin group was on the margins of the community, even in the community of interests. This may also be the main reason why the inheritance of the Mending Heaven Pavilion is so mysterious and the martial arts of the Mending Heaven Pavilion are not outstanding among the two factions and six realms.
3. Evil Extreme
The time of the establishment of the Evil Extreme Dao is not specified, but it can be roughly inferred that the lower limit of the establishment of the Evil Extreme Dao should be around 100 A.D. The first generation of the evil emperor Xie Bo "did not tolerate the orthodox society that respected Confucianism at that time", and Dong Zhongshu's "Three Strategies of Heaven and Man" was in the third year of Emperor Yuanguang of the Han Dynasty (132 BC), so it can be seen that the upper limit of the establishment time of the evil pole path should not be earlier than 132 BC.
Tomb robbery is also a long-standing industry, there is the Han Dynasty, such as Xie Bo and other industries are unprecedented, so that when Liu Bang established the country, he had to "guard the tomb of Qin Shi Huang 20 families" to prevent theft.
The disciples of the Evil Extreme Sect also had the opportunity to enter the mainstream in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty, and Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao even set up the positions of "Touching Jin Captain" and "Faqiu Zhonglang General" for them. However, after all, this kind of livelihood is hated by the people of the world, and it is understandable that it is listed as a demon sect by the evil sect and is evil by the world.
3, Tianlian Sect
The prime time for the merchant class was the "Historical Records. The beginning and end time in the "Biography of the Cargo Colony", that is, from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the early years of the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, the status of a big businessman with a fortune of hundreds of millions was comparable to that of Wang Hou, and Sima Qian called it "Sufeng", which occupied an important position in the mainstream society at that time. However, like the other classes of the Demon Gate, the merchant class, which was in the formative stage, suffered a heavy setback in the Han Dynasty. In the fourth year of Yuanzhan (119 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an order to levy property taxes on merchants; In the third year of Yuan Ding (114 years ago), Yang Ke was ordered to sue him, and since then, "Yang Ke has been suing all over the world...... The merchant is above the middle house, and the rate is broken". For thousands of years, Shang Jia was excluded from mainstream society in the context of Confucianism. The establishment of the Heavenly Lotus Sect should also be after this time. The speculative character of An Long and Fu Gongyou also bears deep traces of the general psychological state of the merchant class.
4. True preaching
Compared with the upper-class Taoism that has been integrated into the mainstream, this sect can very typically explain the origin of the word "demon" in "Demon Gate". This school is divided into two schools: the true transmission of Taoist ancestors and the Laojunguan, but both schools embody the characteristics of primitive Taoism, that is, the importance and study of male and female sexual affairs.
Whether the early Huang Lao Tao can be classified as a Taoist history has been controversial in academic circles. However, there is no doubt that the Taoism of the system was first seen in the "Five Buckets of Rice Dao" in the late Han Dynasty. Wudou Rice Road originated from the people, adopted a management system that integrated the military and the government, and organized the management of the religious people under its rule, called "planting people". And from ordinary people to become "breeders", they must go through a ceremony of male and female co-ki, that is, the "Shangqing Yellow Book Transition Instrument" that is still preserved in the "Orthodox Taoist Collection", during which there are extremely detailed and even harsh regulations on the postures, time, and techniques of men and women, which are used as an introductory ceremony, which shows the importance and research of primitive Taoism between men and women.
However, since Cao Cao moved Zhang Lu into Guanzhong, Taoism gradually separated from the people and moved towards the upper class. In the process of mainstreaming Taoism, we must consciously examine the various customs originally inherited from the folk in accordance with the value evaluation system of the mainstream society, and hide some rituals and rituals that are inconsistent with the mainstream society, so as to gain the acceptance of the mainstream society.
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Lu Xiujing and Kou Qianzhi respectively started to rectify the Heavenly Master Dao from the north and south, and the study of men and women was completely deleted from the orthodox Taoist side at this time. Kou Qianzhi harshly called these things, which were once part of the Taoist tradition, "three false laws" and "bewitching words." Demons and demons are called together, so these "demon ways" that have preserved the "words of demons" have naturally fallen from the righteous path to the demon gate.
The situation of true preaching is an excellent insight into how marginalized groups that do not conform to mainstream society can be demonized by mainstream society.
5. Extinguishing feelings
The fate of male service industry workers is similar to that of female service industry workers, or even worse. The prosperity of this class also lies in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Western Han Dynasty, the two idioms of Longyang and broken sleeves are from this era, and at this stage they also appeared in history Wei Qing, a great hero, but since the Han Dynasty, it is difficult for male service industry practitioners to enter the mainstream historical stage, and the establishment of the Tao of Extinguishing Love should be at this time.
6. Demon Dao
It can be said that it has a slight vertical and horizontal style, and the method of "saving" the country in its curve seems to have been inherited by later generations of Wu Sangui and Chairman Wang, but only according to the current information, it is impossible to assert its source, and it will not exist.
7. Flower pie
The reason why the Hanama faction is listed last is largely because of an unborn figure of the Hanama faction, which not only influenced the direction of the future struggle of the Demon Gate, but also affected almost the entire history.
The formation of the art of painting and calligraphy when in the two Han Dynasty, calligraphy and painting words belong to the patent of the Gaomen Dave, but on the occasion of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the usurper power and ministers rose up, and the morality was degraded, and a group of sons who were born in the Gaomen Dahuo out of hatred and indignation against the dark times, chose a life attitude that was opposed to the mainstream society, believing in the germination of the Huajian Dao, compared with other schools of the Demon Gate, the Huajian Dao belongs to the marginal group of the mainstream society, this attribute determines its embarrassing position in the two factions and six Dao of the Demon Gate, and the heirs of the Huajian inherit the pretentious elegance of the family. It also makes them incompatible with other demons. It is almost destined to not get the inheritance of the core part of "Heavenly Demon Strategy". However, the origin of the descendants of the flowers and their relative integration into the mainstream society make them relatively natural in their superiority over their fellow demon gates.
