Chapter 372: Book Burning and Confucianism

"Qin Shi Huang burned books and buried Confucianism not those Confucians. I reached out and nodded, "It's these Taoist priests below."

"Why do you want to bury the Taoist?" the King Kong Cannon reached out and helped me light the fire. This guy didn't care if the historical record was wrong, he was only curious about why Qin Shi Huang treated these people in the Daoist sect like this.

"It's a long story," I said, turning my head to look around to the left and right, finding a clean place to sit down, and then I said what I saw on the tomb wall. The original text is too awkward, and the following is the translation.

As we all know, Qin Shi Huang began to look for a way to live forever after unifying the six countries, in fact, the first thing he did was not to look for immortal herbs and elixirs, but to raise a large number of Taoist priests to refine the so-called elixir, at that time the inner Danshu had not yet developed, and the popular thing in society was the outer Danshu, that is, the use of furnaces to refine some granular pills, the so-called elixir contains a lot of mercury and cinnabar and other toxic ingredients, it is good to eat undead people, naturally it is not possible to make people immortal.

But Qin Shi Huang didn't think so, he has always believed that those alchemy Taoists can refine the real elixir, so not only gave those Taoist priests extremely high courtesy and treatment, but also searched around for all kinds of precious medicinal materials for their alchemy, but unfortunately those Taoist priests have been refining for eight years and have not refined any elixir, at this time Qin Shi Huang, whose health has been problematic, began to be anxious, patted the table and gave an ultimatum to those alchemy Taoists, if they can't refine the elixir within three years, they will all be beheaded.

These Taoist priests have been refining for eight years without success, and naturally they have a bottom in their hearts, knowing that they will definitely not be able to refine any elixir within three years, and this head seems to be unable to be saved, so this group of people got together to discuss countermeasures, and finally decided to abscond in fear of crime.

Forget it if they ran away secretly, this group of Taoist priests also did a stupid thing before escaping, that is, they found a fair and honest reason for their failure to refine the elixir, and put the fault on the head of the master Qin Shi Huang, saying that the reason why they did not refine the elixir was not because their own level was not good, but because Qin Shi Huang was guilty of the heavens, so they could not refine the elixir. also gave Qin Shi Huang three trumped-up charges, the first of which was absurdity, saying that he had to sleep with ten yellow flower girls in one night. The second is brutality and brutality, killing 30 million people before and after the unification of the six countries. The third is the burning of books from various countries, which destroys intangible cultural heritage.

"Sleeping ten times a night, is Qin Shi Huang a donkey?" King Kong Cannon couldn't help but grin.

"The total population of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was about 30 million, if what those Taoist priests said was reliable, Qin Shi Huang would have become the commander of the light pole long ago. I frowned and shook my head, the nonsense of these Taoist priests is naturally inaccurate, and I am afraid that only the last one of the three is still somewhat substantiated, because in the year before they defected, Qin Shi Huang did burn a large number of books, among which the "Book of Songs" and "Shangshu" were the mainstays, and the social impact was indeed very bad.

King Kong laughed and stopped talking, and I threw away the cigarette butt and continued.

The group of Taoist priests did run away, but they were soon caught, but it is conceivable that the whole country was liberated, where could they run, after being captured, Qin Shi Huang naturally could not spare them, cut off the limbs and seal the soul and buried them here, the reason why they claimed to be buried alive was for the sake of face. History is created by those in power, and it is also passed down by them, and they want the historian to write whatever they want, and the historian has to write how he wants, and if you don't obey, you will be cut off on your head. In fact, according to Sima Qian's "Historical Records", Qin Shi Huang did burn the "Book of Poetry" and pit warlocks, but it was not scholars but warlocks who pitted, as for the word "Confucianism" in the book preface of a pseudo "Ancient Texts and Books", to put it bluntly, the words in the preface of a fake book turned out to be the truth in the textbook and were taught to thousands of students.

In addition, there were more than 400 Taoist priests who were arrested at the beginning, and they were buried in seven places in the position of anti-Beidou, and they all covered the breath of the corpses with different poisonous insects, one was to make outsiders afraid of them, and the other was to use their yin qi to promote zombies.

"Is this also buried in those three places?" said King Kong Cannon after hearing what I said, and hurriedly asked.

"Yes, there were seven of them, and the other three should be in a zigzag shape due west. I nodded.

"Okay, let's collect the troops and return to the court. When the King Kong Cannon heard this, his face immediately turned happy.

"What soldiers to receive, what to go back to?" I looked at the King Kong Cannon dissatisfied.

"Now that you know what's inside, why are you digging it?"

"If you know what it is, you have to dig it up and show it to headquarters. I said. This teacher is coming, and after staying for a few days, he will definitely not agree to the headquarters.

"I can't dig up the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang until the Year of the Monkey. King Kong Cannon frowned.

"That's it, let's dig another place, change the target after digging, Zhongnan Mountain is so big, the feng shui is so good, there will definitely be the grave of the prince and general, dig out some valuable burial goods and go back to pay the errand. I said with a wicked smile. As the saying goes, "the general is outside, and the king's order is not granted", since our strong team has come out, we will simply sweep it from this mountain, and all the proceeds will be handed over anyway. In addition, you can avoid returning empty-handed and losing face.

"What about the positioning device on our body?" King Kong Cannon raised his hand and shook his wrist, he also knew that our whereabouts and location were all under the control of the headquarters.

"There are always errors in the map, as long as you don't run too far, I'll take care of something. I thought about it and said.

"This thing is done, or our soldiers will divide into two ways, you go to those places underwater, and I will take people to find other ancient tombs and pick up the big ones. "King Kong Cannon is extremely curious, and when he heard that there was a Pokétan, he was immediately interested.

"Don't worry about it, let's go to the next place together. "I interrupted the vajra cannon. Zhongnan Mountain is not an ordinary place, although our group of people has their own strengths, but it is not enough to split the two groups to fight separately.

Even so, the King Kong Cannon was still very happy, and turned to the crowd to convey my meaning, and everyone was overjoyed when they heard it. There are still people who do bad things with a black cauldron, and everyone is willing to do this.

"Hey, who's it?" King Kong Pao's mobile phone rang when everyone was rejoicing, and King Kong Cannon smiled and took out the phone.

"When did you lose it?" suddenly raised his voice after being fed by the King Kong Cannon.

"Call the police, Jiaozuo is not big, let the police help find it, it's really not for me to transfer the army to you." "King Kong Cannon is almost shouting.

"What's the situation?" I walked over suspiciously, listening to the words of the King Kong Cannon, as if our Ziyang Temple had lost something.

"Lost. King Kong Cannon took the time to reply.

"What did you lose?" said the King Kong Cannon's nervousness, which made me nervous too.

"Your big-headed apprentice is gone"
