Weather forecasts are no longer common to modern people, so do you know how they found them in history?

1. The difference between Mojin Xiaowei and Faqiu General

Mojin Xiaowei is a sect of tomb robbers in ancient China. According to historical records, Mojin Xiaowei originated from the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, the leader of the Wei army, Cao Cao, in order to make up for the lack of military pay, set up military ranks such as Faqiu Zhonglang General and Mojin Xiaowei to specialize in robbing tombs to obtain wealth to supplement the military. Mojin Xiaowei's tomb robbery mainly relied on observing Feng Shui, distinguishing the weather, and taking the "Book of Changes" as its purpose to locate the acupuncture points of the ancient tomb.

Faqiu General did not exist until the Later Han Dynasty, also known as Faqiu Tianguan or Faqiu Lingguan. In fact, the methods of Faqiu Tianguan and Mojin Xiaowei are almost exactly the same, except that there is an extra copper seal. , the seal is engraved with the words "blessed by the heavenly official and free from all taboos". It is an irreplaceable sacred object in the hands of the mound digger. It is said that with the seal in the hand, all ghosts and gods will avoid it. The prototype of this seal is said to have been destroyed during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty and no longer exists in the world.

It is similar to the method of Touching Gold, slightly inferior in technology, but it pays more attention to the cooperation of everyone. In ancient times, people often used their identities as pawnshops and antique dealers as cover-ups. They do not take action lightly, and occasionally target certain large tombs. They are the only one among the four factions that does not shy away from cooperating with the authorities. In the Qing Dynasty, due to the persecution of foreigners, they went into exile overseas and mostly traveled in Southeast Asia and America. They have been found in many large-scale ancient tomb excavation teams. Most of the remaining members in the country are working in government departments as archaeologists.

2. Taoist Banshan is a descendant of an ancient tribe in the Western Regions. He is generally no more than 60 years old due to some kind of curse. Specifically refers to those who make a career of robbing tombs and are good at the art of restraint. Their whereabouts are secretive and difficult to find. They have rarely communicated with outsiders for many years, but what they do is only to obtain the "Muchen Bead" and not for property. They have passed down from generation to generation that people who are not from this tribe cannot become it.

3. General Xiling is one of the schools of tomb robbers in the popular novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". During the Northern Song Dynasty, this school gradually exchanged and integrated with each other, absorbing the characteristics of the Mojin and Laoshan schools, and formed a specific school. It has its own unique understanding of Feng Shui techniques (but it does not combine the strengths of the two schools). He is good at destroying magic circles and is familiar with the weaknesses of various Feng Shui terrains.

Compared with General Mojin Xiaowei and General Faqiu, General Xiling is better at destruction. Colonel Mojin and General Faqiu are more like technical streamers. They will look for loopholes in the tomb, while General Xieling General Ling is better at using force to break magic, and in many cases will cause great damage to the tomb.

Extended information

Ghost Blowing the Lamp is a series of text adventure stories, based on a fragment of a family heirloom's secretary.

In the novel, the author pioneered the four major tomb robbing sects in history - Mojin, Xiling, Faqiu and Moving Mountain. Among them, Mojin is the sect with the highest technical content and the most rules. "People light candles, ghosts blow out lanterns" is a secret of the legendary gold-touching sect, which means that when entering an ancient tomb, first light a candle in the southeast corner before opening the coffin. If the candle goes out, you must exit quickly, which is not advisable. One thing. According to legend, this is a contract between the living and the dead made by the ancestor, which has been passed down for thousands of years and cannot be broken.

There is a proverb to prove it:

To find the seal of the hill, to touch the golden talisman, to move the mountain and unload the ridge to find the dragon secret;

People light candles, ghosts blow out lamps, and explore I fight upside down to find the star peaks;

There are mercury spots, bright utensils, and countless dragon towers and treasure halls;

There are sunken coffins and bronze coffins. If the eight characters are not hard, don't approach them.

Vertical burial pits, box graves, moving mountains and unloading ridges to walk around;

Red clothes are fierce, smiling corpses, it is better to listen to ghosts cry than to laugh.
