Chapter 178: Ancient Forbidden Technique! (2nd Update)
Qi Aigong turned out to be really not called Qi Aigong, but "Qi Rengong".
The word "壬" is actually taken from the year of his accession to the throne.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the ten heavenly stems refer to the year, while the twelve earthly branches refer to the month.
It's just that since the Duke of Qi Ai, King Yi of Zhou established his successor Lü Jing as the "Duke of Qi Hu", and this tradition is no longer used.
Of course, there are other reasons, after all, there are only ten heavenly stems, and there is a reincarnation every ten years, which can easily cause the later successors to repeat the kings of the ancestors, and it is very necessary to change.
However, this is not important, Wu Liang is more concerned about the real reason why Lu Buchen, the Duke of Qi Ai, was "cooked" by King Zhou Yi.
It is recorded in this "History of Qi" that Lü Buchen was indeed "cooked" by King Zhou Yi, but it was not because the monarch of Ji Guoguo was slandered, but because Lü Buchen took the blame for himself.
In the "History of Qi", it is said that Lü Buchen practiced an ancient technique called "disgust".
The so-called "disgust" is a very old curse technique: "Carve wood as a puppet, day and night in the sun and moon, curse on the top." ”
This thing is similar to the "straw man" of later generations, except that "disgust" uses a small puppet, on which the caster writes the name and birth date of the cursed, and after a very mysterious and complex spell, the person who is cursed can bear the pain of the response.
Somehow this matter reached the ears of King Zhou Yi.
At that time, although the "heinous crime" that was not established after the Qin Dynasty had not yet been convicted, such a left-handed method had long been forbidden, and anyone who used or practiced it would be punished with capital punishment.
So King Zhou Yi arrested the person Lu Buchen, and found many small puppets in his home, including the puppets with the name and birth date of King Zhou Yi.
King Zhou Yi was furious, so he ordered someone to "cook and torture" Lu Buchen!
It is also for this reason that Lü Buchen also left a name in history, called "Lü Buchen".
However, this incident did not end here, after Lü Buchen was "cooked", his half-brother Lü Jing was named "Duke of Qihu" by King Zhou Yi to take over the throne.
And Lu Buchen's half-father, half-mother, younger brother Lu Shan, and his family and cronies first secretly took back Lu Buchen's "corpse", which could no longer be counted as a corpse, for a thick burial, and then suspected that it was Lu Jing, the Duke of Qihu, who told King Zhou Yi on the grounds of "the big one is suspicious......
This makes sense, Lu Buchen obviously has a half-brother, and there are many other brothers, why did King Zhou Yi choose Lu Jing as the next King of Qi?
Moreover.
This matter of establishing a new king was originally the internal affairs of the Lu family of Qi State, even if King Zhou Yi was the Son of Heaven, there were very few Sons of Heaven in history who interfered in the internal affairs of the princes' families, which was really unreasonable.
Thereupon? Lu Shan and the family cronies left behind by Lu Buchen began to plot to get rid of Lu Jing and avenge him.
Two years later? Lu Shan successfully designed to kill Lu Jing and become the next King of Qi "Qi Xiangong"? and expelled the heirs of Lu Jing, Duke of Qihu.
Didn't expect it more than thirty years later? The throne passed to the hands of "Duke Qi Li" Lu Wuji, and the former heir of Duke Lu Jing of Qi Hu actually returned to Qi State? and Qi Li Gong Lu Wuji came to the same end.
In the end, the State of Qi had to appoint Lu Chi, the son of Duke Qi Li, as the monarch? It is for "Qi Wengong".
Since then, the civil strife in the court of Qi State, which has lasted for more than 40 years, has finally ended? The whole country of Qi worked together and finally officially started its Spring and Autumn hegemony......
……
This "History of Qi" has been sorted out here for the time being.
If he hadn't seen the record in "History of Qi", Wu Liang would have really thought that Qi Aigong was killed by King Zhou Yi for such a reason? It's unimaginable.
may have been influenced by the court dramas of later generations.
Originally, "disgusted" and "pierced villain" in his impression? It should be a means that only those harem concubines can play.
I didn't expect Qi Aigong, a big man, to practice this kind of thing.
And looking at the description in "History of Qi", Qi Aigong's "disgust" does not seem to be an ordinary bluffing trick, but a thaumaturgy that requires hard practice to become a technique.
Although there are no specific examples of successful harm in it, King Zhou Yi, who was cast by him with the "art of disgust", later lived well.
But after reading it, it still gives people a feeling of uncertainty, after all, before that, this "disgusting technique" has been designated as a forbidden technique that will be punished by death? This can also show that it is very likely to have existed in real times, and may have caused a lot of impact and panic to people.
What's even more incredible? The Celestial Empire's maritime neighbor, the Wa Kingdom, also has the "art of disgust", and it is recorded that the "art of disgust" of the Wa Kingdom is transmitted from the Celestial Empire? And just around this period.
Moreover.
Qi is very developed because of its proximity to the sea? Possessed the usual abilities with the Wa Kingdom for a long time? Is this from the other side? It also confirms the existence of the "Disgusting Technique", and if you have to contact it, it seems that it can also be forcibly associated with Qi Aigong's "Disgusting Technique......
Besides.
Wu Liang also got an important clue related to the ancient tomb from "History of Qi"!
It is said that after Lu Shan and Lu Buchen's family secretly took their "corpses" back, they were buried in Bo Gu, not far from Yingqiu, the capital of Qi State.
Now Yingqiu has been renamed "Linzi", and Bo Gu is fifty miles northwest of Linzi, although I am not sure what the name of this Bo Gu is now, but the specific direction and distance will not be wrong, which has been confirmed by the archaeological community in later generations, Wu Liang does not need to doubt.
However, the so-called "Qiai Cemetery" has not been discovered by later archaeology.
I don't know if it was stolen a long time ago, or if it was hidden too deep to be explored.
Therefore, even if he knew the approximate location of the "Qiai Cemetery", Wu Liang was not sure if he could find it, let alone whether this tomb still existed.
After all, Qi Aigong died in 868 BC, even if it was thousands of years away from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty where he is now.
That's more than a thousand years, and a lot has happened.
Maybe the "Qi'ai Cemetery" has been stolen I don't know how many times, or maybe it has already collapsed or been buried deep underground...... Who knows?
However, Wu Liang still planned to try his luck.
Because at this stage, Lu Bu and Zhang Miao failed to seize Yanzhou this time, and did not divide Boss Cao's territory, and the small territory of Linzi belonging to Qingzhou was still in the hands of Boss Cao.
If it is another year or two, when Yuan Shao stretches out his hand to Qingzhou, this place will change hands again.
Since then, until the end of the Battle of Guandu, it is impossible for Boss Cao to take Qingzhou back, and it is difficult for him to get the opportunity to explore again.
Other than that.
This is the first ancient tomb that Wu Liang has encountered that may be related to the "Ancient Forbidden Technique", it does feel a little mysterious, and his heart is a little bottomless, but this is also an experience and challenge that he has never had before, and there is always a feeling that if he doesn't go to see it, he will regret it in the future.
"It's so decided, after the beginning of spring, the affairs of Yongqiu will be arranged, and I will take someone to explore this Qiai cemetery first!"
Wu Conscience had already secretly made a decision in his heart.
Even if he didn't find the Qiai Cemetery in the end, he would have nothing to lose, not to mention that he had just stolen the tomb of the Marquis of Haidu, and Boss Cao should not be short of military pay in the near future.
Even if he returned empty-handed, it would not be a problem for him.
