Chapter 82: Unknowable, Unknowable
Chang Wanqing saw my face change suddenly, and immediately turned sideways in front of me.
He whispered, "Brother, do you recognize what this thing is?" ”
I casually threw the tattered bronze mirror on the ground, smiled miserably, and said, "The eight kings worship the corpse, this is trouble." ”
Chang Wanqing asked softly, "What is the Eight Kings Worshipping the Corpse?" ”
I smiled bitterly and said, "In the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Eight Kings Rebellion always knows, right?" ”
In the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, the kings of Runan, Chu, Zhao, Qi, Changsha, Chengdu, Hejian, and Donghai launched rebellions in order to compete for power.
It lasted 16 years.
The Rebellion of the Eight Kings was the most serious imperial civil strife in history, which eventually led to the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty and nearly three hundred years of turmoil.
In fact, I learned about all these historical events when I was in school. But in the book left by my grandfather, I saw another layer of secret that no one knew.
It is rumored that before the Rebellion of the Eight Kings began, the vassal kings led by the King of Ruyang had invited the other Sima vassal kings to hold a secret meeting.
In addition to the vassal kings of the Jin royal family, there were several Jianghu warlocks who were second to none at that time.
And the purpose of the meeting was how to fight for power and become the real master of the Jin Dynasty.
At that time, rebellion was a difficult decision to make, after all, it was a headless business, and no one wanted to set foot in it easily.
The king of Ruyang and several other vassal kings wanted to persuade others to participate together, but it was definitely not enough to have strong soldiers and strong horses, and they had to occupy the righteousness, or suppress the national fortunes of the Western Jin Dynasty.
Don't mention the righteousness, you are a rebel, which no one can wash away.
But if the national fortunes of the Jin Dynasty are suppressed, it can still be done in comparison.
The master found by King Ruyang did this. Use the eight kings to worship the corpse and suppress the national fortune of the Jin Dynasty!
What is the Eight Kings Worshipping the Corpse? It is to select eight royal vassal kings on the spot, wear crowns with their own heirs, wear royal robes, hold magic weapons, and kneel down to worship an unknown corpse.
Of course, since it is a corpse, it must also be a corpse. Therefore, the eight royal vassal kings must kill one of their own biological sons.
It is well known that the vassal king has many sons, and if he dies, if he can disrupt the national fortunes of the Jin Dynasty and give himself a chance to seize power, it is very suitable.
So the Eight Kings quickly selected the heirs to be sacrificed, and then selected eight more magic weapons.
These eight magic weapons are not simple, they are all things that Emperor Wu of Jin has rewarded by the kings, and in a sense, they also have a kind of national fortune of the Jin Dynasty.
They are the Zhenguo Bronze Mirror, the Han Eight-Sided Sword, the Double Dragon Jade Pendant, the Eight Books of the Emperor, and the Carved Knife, the King Seal, the Coral Sacred Tree, and the Golden Thread Dragon Robe.
Eight royal heirs, holding eight magic vessels, kneel as burial offerings to worship an unknowable being.
Since then, the Jin Dynasty has been in turmoil, and the Eight Kings have rebelled. This opened the prelude to the destruction of the dynasty.
Middle-earth civilization has been up and down for 5,000 years, and the change of dynasties is actually a natural thing. But the worship of the corpse of the eight kings is the most powerful one in history, artificially blocking the existence of national fortunes.
The impact of this incident even transcended national borders and directly affected the fortunes of the Han people.
So much so that after the fall of the Jin Dynasty, there were still swords and soldiers on the land of Middle Earth, and the people were struggling to make a living. The Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qian, Qiang, and Di tribes invaded Middle-earth one after another, killing the Han people, and even eating their meat raw, calling it: two-legged sheep.
This is the famous Wuhu Chaohua, at that time, north of the Yangtze River, the number of Han people in China was less than 5,000 at the least.
Later, Emperor Ran Wei rose, and under the leadership of the folk strange people, he found the tomb of the eight kings worshipping the corpse, which broke the root of the Han nation-state movement.
But even so, Emperor Ran Wei did not dare to provoke the unknowable existence in the coffin. So the folk strange man told Emperor Ran Wei that it was okay not to offend the unknown corpse in the coffin.
It only needs to replace the body of the eighth prince heir in the coffin with the corpse of the foreign royal family, and then move to the remote place of the Western Regions, and the Han nation will rise again.
Emperor Ran Wei listened to the advice of this folk strange man, anyway, at that time, foreign royal families abounded, and if he caught eight of them, he let the folk strange man do it.
Since then, Emperor Ran Wei issued the famous order to kill Hu, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Xia, Qiang, and Di. Five foreign ethnic groups were defeated and expelled from the Central Plains.
Among them, the most ferocious of the Qiang tribe, even killed by the Han people, really disappeared in the long river of history.
Later, the influence of the Eight Kings worshipping the corpse on the Han nation gradually decreased, and finally established the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, which ended the curse of the Eight Kings worshipping the corpse on the Han nation.
Not many people know about this matter, and most of them exist in the form of wild history, and no one can say whether it is true or not.
When I saw the allusion of the Eight Kings worshipping the corpse, I once asked my grandfather, what is the worshiped corpse in the Eight Kings worshipping corpse?
It's just that even the erudite grandfather didn't know, and just casually perfunctory to me, saying that the Eight Kings worshipping the corpse was probably made up by later generations, and there was no such thing at all.
You just read him as a story.
When I was a child, I really regarded the worship of the corpse of the eight kings as a story, until now, I saw the heavenly killing machine, saw the dark clouds with teeth and claws, and also saw the remnants of the cemetery.
And, of course, the funerary goods that are suspected to be eight ritual artifacts.
Running out of the coffin, the thing that was killed by the sun was not the body that was worshipped back then?
If so, did it drift away, or did it run away?
If not, then what exactly is in this coffin?
After I finished speaking, Chang Wanqing decisively threw away the tattered bronze mirror in his hand and said, "Let's go!" This matter must not be mixed! ”
I nodded slightly, there are some things that cannot be mixed up.
The reason why I had a lot of fun just now was just to find out what was going on.
Once you realize that something is wrong, it is the right way to get out as soon as possible.
I looked at the exorcists and murderers who were whispering and said, "Go quietly, don't alarm them!" It's all a bunch of bold guys, if someone wants to catch that unknown corpse, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out! ”
I have never underestimated humanity.
Especially something like the Five Murderers of Southern Yunnan, when others know about the unknown corpse, they will definitely hide and go. They are different, they will definitely find a way to catch them and sell them to some real careerists!
This is a profitable business!
Chang Wanqing nodded meaningfully and said, "I'll go drive!" Naturally, don't tell them anything about the Eight Kings' corpses! ”
After he finished speaking, he was about to drive, but at this time, someone next to him smiled and said: "This little brother is really knowledgeable, and he has heard of the ancient curse of the Eight Kings worshipping corpses." ”
"Why don't you tell the little brothers about this corpse?"
I turned around abruptly, and I saw the southern Yunnan murderer not far away playing with a pistol in his hand, looking at me with a smile.
I'm almost about to scold, this grandson has so many ears! Can you hear it from so far?
