Chapter 616: The Secret of the Ancient Fangshi

I quickly flipped back, and there were about 200 pages of text in the whole diary, all of which recorded similar contents, and there were still many traces of "secondary annotations".

Because I have a "super brain", I have all the content I have read firmly in my mind, and when I close the textbook, I feel bad.

Wu Jinghan was still leaning over to read the contents of another notebook, and several roommates were also surrounding her.

"How?"

I leaned over and asked softly.

"Hmmm! It seems that the teacher has spent a lot of time and experience looking for these materials in the past few years - my notebook is basically about ancient miscellaneous religions, basically before the Qin Dynasty. ”

Wu Jinghan said, closed the notebook in his hand, and let out a long sigh.

"Before the Qin Dynasty? So long...... Is your teacher still interested? ”

Wu Jinghan's roommate didn't know what was going on, and pretended to joke humorously.

Wu Jinghan was not angry, and smiled slightly before replying: "You don't know, before the Qin Dynasty, there were all kinds of sects in our land, but it was only after Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries and vigorously suppressed them, and these religions almost all disappeared." ”

"That was more than 2,000 years ago!" The roommate exclaimed.

"At that time, the three major religions of the world did not exist, and Taoism, which was born in China, did not yet ...... Moreover, these sects at that time had very strange canons, but because of Qin Shi Huang's book burning and Confucianism, there was very little information left for future generations, and it is not easy to verify now. ”

This made me confused, and I hurriedly asked, "That's not right! Qin Shi Huang burned books to pit Confucianism, wasn't it aimed at the scholars who wantonly fanned the flames and discussed the dynasty at that time? ”

Wu Jinghan shook his head: "Actually, this is just a disguise, there were not many Confucian scholars who were really killed at that time, and these few Confucian scholars who were killed should also have another identity - believers of a certain sect or also alchemists and warlocks." ”

"What else is going on?"

Wu Jinghan didn't answer me, but said: "As for the 'book burning', it is even more untenable, whether it is the Four Books and the Five Classics or other pre-Qin works, there are really a lot of them that have been left to this day, it is rare that Qin Shi Huang did not have the ability to burn these ancient books?" ”

I nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"It can be seen that Qin Shi Huang was selectively destroying a certain type of classics - most of the warlocks he killed at that time were warlocks, and you can't think of why?"

Warlock? Alchemist?

I had those two words in my head.

Suddenly, his heart trembled: "Could it be that Qin Shi Huang wants to hide something?" ”

Wu Jinghan smiled slightly: "Think about it again, what kind of pursuit Qin Shi Huang has?" - Most of the people know about his pursuit, and it is actually the pursuit of other emperors, but Qin Shi Huang is more urgent! ”

The Emperor's Quest?

I couldn't help but think about it again.

"Harem beauties?" I tried to throw out the answer.

"Phew!" Wu Jinghan took a sip, causing the roommates to tremble.

"What's that?" I was embarrassed to laugh twice.

"You should have heard that Qin Shi Huang once sent Xu Fu to lead three thousand boys and girls to Penglai to find the elixir of life, right?" Wu Jinghan reminded me.

"I've heard - you mean Qin Shi Huang's quest is immortality?"

After saying that, I also felt that this should be the answer that Wu Jinghan wanted me to say.

Indeed, the ancient emperors lived a fairy-like life, with the best food, clothing, housing and transportation, and they could do whatever they wanted with any girl they wanted, so their greatest wish was to continue this life.

This is also the reason why the tombs of kings in ancient and modern China and abroad are extremely luxurious.

It is said that many emperors have focused on building their own mausoleums since they ascended the throne, and some have been built for half a century, such as Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

I continued to ponder what Wu Jinghan meant......

The so-called "book burning pit Confucianism" is actually Qin Shi Huang secretly killing folk warlocks and destroying a certain type of classics, and he spent a lot of energy, manpower, and material resources to find the elixir of life.

Is there a relationship between the two?

An answer popped into my mind: the reason why Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism was to hide the secret about the elixir of life.

Reasoning back along this line: the folk warlock must have mastered some method related to immortality, or knew the secret of generation.

Maybe they know that there is an elixir somewhere.

Or they have refined the elixir in the process of refining the elixir many times.

Or......

In short, after Qin Shi Huang found out, he wanted to keep this secret alone, so he began to hide this secret by killing the warlocks who knew these secrets and destroying the works of the warlocks under the guise of "burning books and pit Confucianism".

It's a pity that Qin Shi Huang exhausted all his organs, but in the end he didn't succeed, and he still died.
