Chapter 131 (15) How long can you gossip?

It is said that in Yanggu County, Shandong Province, there are outstanding people, Zhongling Yuxiu, and it specializes in producing celebrities of various brands and models.During the Northern Song Dynasty, Yanggu County had the most famous Wu Dalang, known as "Yanggu Three Inch Nails", and the most beautiful girl Pan Jinlian, which still has a lingering charm.After that, Yanggu County was quiet for a period of time. During the Qianlong period, another hero Wang Lun was born. It is said that Wang Lun has been extremely powerful since he was born, pulling eight horses upside down, nine cows horizontally, he likes to dance with spears and sticks, and he is fond of beating his muscles and bones.After becoming an adult, he entered the county government office and became a glorious people's policeman—a taste of being a county servant.

During his tenure in the county, Wang Lun solved many major and strange cases. The most mysterious case he took over was the Eight Diagrams Sect.And speaking of the Bagua Cult, its mystery has broken through the limits of human imagination, to the point where it drives experts in historical research crazy.There is a view that the Eight Diagrams Sect is the incarnation of the White Lotus Sect. Because the White Lotus Sect was severely cracked down and banned according to law, the Yu Party changed its name to the Eight Diagrams Sect.But this statement is wrong. In fact, Bagua Sect was established as early as the beginning of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The person who founded Bagua Sect was Li Tingyu from Henan, known as "Li Xiantian".Gai is a man of learning about heaven and man, and has supernatural powers of good fortune. He calculated that he would take eight apprentices in his life, and in the future, his teachings were to overthrow the Qing Empire and expel the Manchus from customs.Then Li Xiantian made further calculations, and calculated his eight disciples. The surname of Kun hexagram is Liu, and the surname of Dui hexagram is Qiu. So Li Xiantian found apprentices with these eight surnames, and after passing on the teachings secretly, they drifted away without knowing where they ended up.Some say that he has become a fairy, some say that he has become a holy baby, some say that he was beaten to death while stealing something, and some say that he was eaten by a snake.There are many claims that cannot be verified after all.

During the Qianlong period, the population surged, the streets were full of idle labor, and the unemployment rate remained high.At this time, Qianlong should develop industry and commerce and solve the employment problem in society, but Qianlong didn't care about the life and death of the people, so the people could only figure out their own way of life. During the Qianlong period, business was prohibited, and mining had to be executed. Wasn't Wu Shangxian from the Maolong Silver Mine in Myanmar killed by Qianlong?After much deliberation, the common people found that all industries were banned, except for the industry of religious belief, which had not been noticed by Qianlong.Suddenly, like mushrooms after a spring rain, more than 200 strange teachings emerged, such as Wenxiang Sect, White Lotus Sect, Inaction Sect, Promise Sect, Burning Lamp Sect, Hongyang Sect, Luo Sect, Kongzi Sect, Qingcha Sect... …Of course Bagua Sect is also included.These teachings are all the same, the believers all kowtow to the leader "bang bang bang" at a designated place, repent of their mistakes, and give the hard-earned money to the leader, so the leaders quickly fatten their ears , The belly is round.

All in all, the sect leader established a sect, but he was just fooling a mouthful of food and defrauding them of their money. However, the masses continued to gather on a large scale, and Qianlong finally discovered it, so it became the mainstream of fashion to severely crack down on it and ban it according to law.The first to be attacked was the Mahayana religion founded by Zhang Baotai, a native of Guizhou. Zhang Baotai, the teacher, was tortured to death in prison.Then Zhang Baotai's disciples fled to Jiangsu and founded the Lantern Sect and the Ronghua Society, but they were killed again.

Next is the Shouyuan Sect. The leader of this teaching is Xu Guotai. The old Xu was very miserable. His mother, wife and daughter were all taken away by the government. When special benefits were distributed to leaders at all levels, the men of the Xu family and the key members of the church, They were all beheaded, and the remaining believers were exiled for three thousand miles, most of them died on the road. Next, it was the turn of the Eight Diagrams Sect founded by Li Xiantian.At this time, the Bagua sect had become a big climate, and the leader's family all donated officials for themselves and became leaders.But small leaders are not enough, Qianlong is the only leader, from the officers and soldiers to the eight trigrams teaching Gandui Lizhen Xun Kan Genkun eight department managers Liu Shengguo, Liu Shengyan, Kong Wanlin, Zhang Bo, Wang Zhong, Gao Da, Gao Er and Gao San were all captured and beheaded.

As a result, the revolutionary struggle turned to a low ebb, and a large number of believers fled in all directions. Some people asked pessimistically: How long can you gossip?But in this adversity, Wang Lun, the magistrate of Yanggu County, Shandong, secretly joined the Bagua Sect.In a deep cave, facing a picture of the Eight Diagrams, he raised his fist and made an oath: I voluntarily join the Eight Diagrams, obey orders, follow the command, dedicate everything to the Eight Diagrams, never betray the Eight Diagrams, and strive for the cause of the Eight Diagrams for the rest of my life... swear When it was over, he crawled out of the cave and went back to work, only to find that he had been fired by the county government.Because he had secret contacts with gossip believers and his whereabouts were surreptitious, which aroused the suspicion of the government officials, so they took the opportunity to squeeze him out.

Lost his job and ruined his job, Wang Lun went home unhappy and met his sister-in-law Wang Shi.But this Wang family is a legendary figure, he was born in a family of martial arts, he is good at wielding two butcher knives, dancing like pear blossoms and snow, a ball of rotten silver.Seeing that her uncle was unemployed, Wang encouraged him: Lunzi, don't hang your head like this and be listless.Why don't you have a job if you're a man?You were born for great things, don't delay, hurry up, think about doing your business. Do business?Wang Lun was at a loss: I can't even eat, so what's the business?Looking back, he suddenly saw a book lying on the table. When he was serving as a county servant, a quack doctor had a doctor-patient dispute with a patient, so he confiscated the book.Now pick it up and open it to have a look, um, there are many folk remedies in the book, whether these folk remedies work or not, do you want to give it a try?

So Wang Lun took the medical books and went out for a walk.Walking to an inn, I suddenly heard the innkeeper shouting loudly: "Get out quickly, don't die in my shop, I still have business... Wang Lun looked closer and saw a woman carried out of the inn. Unkempt and dirty, his face was blue and yellow, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of soybean grains, and he covered his lower abdomen with his hands, moaning in pain. So Wang Lun walked over: Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'm a policeman... no, I'm a doctor, let me take a look... There are different teachings: the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes walk in the rivers and lakes, and the gossip religion talks about gossip.The evil spirits of heaven and earth gather in Yanggu, and dragons and tigers will go away in the wind and clouds.The county official Wang Lun didn't even have a license to practice medicine, but pretended to be a doctor and treated a strange woman in the inn, which caused a massive catastrophe.
