Blood of Guanlong

In the twenty-fourth year of Kaiyuan, the West City of Chang'an. An old Confucian scholar dug out a broken stone tablet under the foundation of the old house. There are eight characters left on the stele: "... Different, Guan and Long are one..." On the back is a worn pattern - eight snakes connected head to tail, biting each other's tails. In the fire, the stone tablet was reduced to ashes. But a secret that lasted for two hundred years has since been reopened. In 534 AD, the Northern Wei Dynasty split. Yu Wentai, who was born in Wuchuan Town, gathered a group of forgotten frontier soldiers in Guanzhong - eight generals of the Zhuguo Kingdom, and formed an alliance with blood to rule the world together. On the day of the oath of alliance, Yuwentai smashed the alliance stele with his own hands and distributed the fragments to the eight families. He said: "From now on, our eight families share weal and woe, and share the same roots in prosperity and decline." This is also a curse engraved in the blood: the descendants of the Eight Pillar Kingdom are destined to contain each other and devour each other, until the last family becomes the dominant one, or all of them are destroyed. In the next two hundred years, from the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, and from the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the Guanlong Group went through the entire process from creating the empire to being forgotten by the empire. Duguxin's concubine spent her whole life witnessing how the net was woven and how the weaver was strangled; under the curtain of the prosperous age, the imperial examination scholar of the Cui family of Qinghe dug up a bamboo slip that had been buried for many years - it was Yu Wentai's last words to future generations. This is not a paean to heroes. This is a story about a prescription: when the medicine is boiled and the disease is cured, the dregs of the medicine should be thrown away. And those who throw away the dregs of medicine don't even remember that anyone has suffered from it.
