In the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" by Tianxiaba, there are five major sects mentioned: Faqiu Tianguan, Mojin Xiaowei, Banshan Taoist, Xiling Lishi, and Guanshan Taibao.
Moshan Taoist: specifically refers to those who are engaged in tomb robbing 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 they only do what they do to obtain the "Elixir Pearl" "Not for property. He worshiped Wu Zixu as his ancestor because he did not dig graves for money.
Faqiu Tianguan: At first, the founder of the Faqiu sect was an unnamed Taoist. This man’s common surname was Liu. He was short in stature. He practiced the ancestral bone-shrinking skills and was very good at it. His whole body was strong. The joints are as soft as cotton, allowing you to stretch them freely as you wish.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, when Wei, Shu and Wu were divided, the world was in chaos. Bu Taoist met Cao Cao by chance and thought he was a hero, so he sent two disciples to follow him, while he went to live in seclusion in the mountains. Later, he met Chen Lin and wrote a letter, expecting the two The disciple must have been engaged in the business of touching gold from hair mounds, which disturbed the ghosts and gods, and made people and gods angry, so they expelled the two disciples from the school.
From then on, these two disciples each became disciples and regarded Cao Cao as their ancestor. Because the bone-shrinking technique is difficult to practice, most of Qiu Tianguan's martial arts are short in stature. Although their martial arts skills are not very good, their bone-shrinking skills to save lives are among the best in the world.
The hole he dug with a Luoyang shovel when he went down to the tomb was so small that even a child could hardly get through it, but he was able to slide through it like a woodchuck with ease. He Mojin Xiaowei both regarded Cao Cao as his ancestor. Later, when Qiu Yin was destroyed, He Mojin Xiaowei was basically confused with him.
Xiling warriors: Xiling warriors may spread all over the world, or they may gather in Xiaoshan Mountains to respect Emperor Guan, and respect the Overlord of Western Chu as their ancestor. Whenever there are ancient tombs and huge tombs, they will swarm up with all their strength. Excavating, destroying corpses and searching for treasures, leaving no trace behind, just to imitate the actions of the Red Eyebrow Rebels back then.
Mojin Xiaowei: Mojin Xiaowei is a sect of tomb robbers in ancient China, and it is also the faction to which the protagonist of the novel belongs. 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 and distinguishing the weather, and took the "Book of Changes" as the purpose to locate the acupuncture points of the ancient tomb. Captain Mojin should belong to the tomb robbing sect, and there are no detailed official historical records.
Guanshan Taibao: "Feng family" is a very famous local wealthy family. Our ancestors have lived in Coffin Gorge, Wushan for generations. The terrain in the gorge is dangerous and stripped, and there are countless "hanging coffins" hidden there. The ancestors of the Feng family once stole many "heavenly books and strange weapons" in the "coffin gorge", and used this to make a fortune and learn many long-lost witchcraft skills. He became obsessed with "the art of furnace fire".
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was passed down to Feng Wangli's generation, who called himself the "Coffin Mountain Taibao" and relied on his proficiency in the "Coffin Mountain Finger and Mystery Technique". The Feng family secretly excavated ancient tombs and tombs in various places. In fact, the Feng family made money. The main motivation for robbing tombs was for the ancient scrolls and ancient books hidden in the tombs.
I have to mention that the Taibao of Guanshan advised the Ming Dynasty emperor to destroy the golden talisman and the Faqiu seal to cut off the inheritance of Faqiu Mojin. They also suppressed the Xiling group of thieves to protect the Ming emperor's mausoleum from being stolen. The destruction of the Faqiu Seal and the fact that only three golden talismans were left were all caused by the Guanshan Taibao.
