The Great Elder used to wear a cheongsam in a pure oriental style, and later in the Miaozhen Ancestral Court, he naturally returned to Taoist attire, even the star yarn. Later, when I went out, I sometimes wore sportswear that was easy to move around, but most of the time I still wore a Taoist robe.

After all, it is a person who has been immersed in Taoism for most of his life, and this has become a part of life.

Xingsha and Sword Dance are not as disciplined as her, although they are also disciples of Taoism, they are more secular and casual.

In any case, once the Great Elder's outfit appeared, it immediately made Basru feel the urge to kneel. You must know that the society here is a combination of politics and religion, and the people here all believe in ancient gods and religions, and the customs of thousands of years are deeply rooted, and anyone who sees them will be shocked.

Of course, everyone was a little stunned, but they were all knowledgeable people, and they all thought that Basru was frightened by the abduction, so they didn't show any strange expressions.

However, Chen Taiyuan explained to the Great Elder in time: "They are all our devout Taoist believers here, who worship our Sanqing Dao Ancestors, and are called ancient gods here. It's just that Old Man Yuan pretended to be a mystery here, pretending to be an ancient god, and controlled here. ”

Of course, everyone immediately understood the cause and effect, and the Great Elder was really angry: "Yuan Shiqing, this old guy, is just messing around!" He can come no matter how he swaggers and deceives, how can he pretend to be my Sanqing Dao Ancestor, it's just a big rebellion! What's more, he doesn't even count as our Dao disciples! ”

Not to mention, these heartfelt words made Basru believe more and more that Chen Taiyuan and the Great Elder and the others were really from the side of the gods. Although these people are powerful, they do not claim to be ancient gods, but disciples of ancient gods. Although I don't know how many generations have passed, at least such a "humble and respectful" posture makes them seem more like gods than Yuan Shiqing.

Although the Great Elder felt a little funny in his heart, he also understood that this kind of identity with his own divine aura would definitely be beneficial. And I can't be regarded as a deceitful teacher and an ancestor - I am a disciple of the Daomen, and the Sanqing Daozu is my ancestor, am I wrong? Someone (Yuan Shiqing) pretended to be the ancestor of the Three Qing Daoists, I want to expose him and defeat him as a disciple of the Taoist sect, this is to maintain the Taoist Taoist system, am I doing something wrong?

That's right.

Therefore, the Great Elder accepted it calmly, and this time Basru was completely convinced. After all, the Great Elder has been in the top position for a long time, and that kind of natural leadership temperament is extraordinary, full of style.

Of course, as a result, Basru didn't dare to tell Chen Taiyuan about them, but said a lot of things that he didn't dare to say.

"In fact, many of us have long been dissatisfied with the control of the Old God Cult, so the 'false gods' control us by controlling the Pope is even more unconvinced."

It turned out that the Ancient God Cult had ruled in the micro-world for two thousand years, and gradually turned into a bloated, ugly, rotten and corrupted behemoth. This huge institution not only does not produce, but also constantly exploits and sucks people's fat and ointment. In fact, it was the perverted development of theology that led to the suppression of science, and then the stagnation of science for nearly a thousand years.

Of course, faith and science themselves can go hand in hand, but the problem is that when you use the power of the church to hold society hostage and control ideas, similar to the situation in the Middle Ages in the West, then you are really hindering the development of society. For example, if the great scientists of the Middle Ages said that "the earth revolves around the sun" will be burned at the stake, can the development of science and society not be affected?

But the Old God Cult has a powerful armed force and firmly controls the entire society. And as social contradictions accumulate more and more, this kind of control becomes more and more stringent.

Strict control means that a stronger machinery of violence is maintained, more investment in armaments, and more compromises to the rotten upper echelons in order to gain the support of these elites for the Church...... Therefore, the exploitation of the common people in society must be more severe, and the people will not be able to make a living.

"There are also those who resist, that is, the bandits I just mentioned." Basru lowered his voice and said, "Actually, 'bandits' are the term of the church and the consuls, and the common people privately think that they are rebels. It's just that their power is not comparable to that of the church, and they can only be expelled to the periphery. ”

Chen Taiyuan nodded: "Could it be that those rebels don't believe in the ancient gods?" ”

"Believe, people in the whole world believe in ancient gods, and this makes no difference." "But the insurgents believe that the Church has betrayed the teachings of the old gods and has become a corrupt and evil criminal syndicate. They believe that the Cult of the Old God will only oppress the world in the name of the Old God, which is obviously not the will of the Old God, because the Old God should be kind to His followers. ”

Xingsha nodded: "There's nothing wrong with it." ”

In short, where there is oppression, there is resistance, and the events of the uprising can be described as one after another. Coming here every few years or decades can also be regarded as an outlet for strained social relations. Because each uprising, although unsuccessful, forced the church to make certain compromises and achieve a certain degree of "concession" to society.

And after a while, the Ancient God Cult became more and more unbearable, and once again accumulated deeper social contradictions, so there was another uprising...... The cycle repeated, but for more than a thousand years, no one could shake the solid position of the Old God Cult.

However, this revolt seems to have been a bit larger, because there was a very good leader at the beginning. Not only did he know how to fight militarily, but he also started from the point of belief and formally formed a "Protestant Church" to fight against the original ancient gods.

For a long time, the rebels only knew how to fight, but you are working with the spokesmen of the gods in the world. Even if some people are bold enough to sympathize with you and support you, how many like-minded people can gather? The vast majority of people are still obedient to the church and to the consuls.

But from the very beginning, this rebel army took the depravity of the church as a starting point, and rose up and formed a new church. They still believe in the ancient gods, but they show that what they believe in is true, and the ancient gods have fallen and are hypocrites.

Later, these rebels even shouted "The old religion is dead, and the new religion should be established; The slogan of "Doing the Right Way for Heaven" was hung high in the mountains where the rebel army was entrenched, which fooled many believers at once.

Many people think that even if I follow the rebels, I am not fighting against the ancient gods, after all, we still believe in the ancient gods, and what we oppose is only the old religion that does evil in the world in the name of the ancient gods.

Chen Taiyuan rubbed his head, and said in his heart, how could these slogans be so familiar.

Therefore, this uprising was vigorously carried out, snowballing several times larger in just two years, rapidly developing from a force of 20,000 or 30,000 to an armed force of more than 100,000 people.

"Actually, saying 100,000 is a figure that the official deliberately lowered." Basru said, "More than 100,000 are just armed men, and since ordinary armed people have joined the rebel army, they will drag their families and bring the elderly and children with them as much as possible." Therefore, the total number of the rebels and their families who really gathered in the mountains and forests outside should have exceeded 400,000. ”

Don't think that 450,000 is a small number compared to 20 million people. You must know that in any drastic social change, it is always the majority who are silent. When there is a real contest, the silent majority may not necessarily support the church and the official.

"Just this year, the wave of rebels reached its peak." "Because according to our old calendar here, this year is the 'Year of Jiazi'. At the beginning, the rebels announced that 'the year is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious', perhaps to increase everyone's confidence. But now that the year of Jiazi has arrived, if we can't do great things this year, everyone will definitely turn away from Germany next year. Hey, they've taken time so absolutely that there's no room for maneuver now. ”

Chen Taiyuan shook his head: "Not necessarily." Now we are here to capture the so-called Supreme Venerable, and at the same time, of course, we have to kill those Popes and Black Bandons or something, after all, they are all minions of the Supreme Venerable. At that time, maybe the rebels will have a real chance. ”

What a thing! Basru's eyes lit up, and he seemed to think that this was really the will of the old gods.

Then he asked a few more things, and after making sure that there was no need to ask again, Chen Taiyuan chose to believe Basru. In fact, he and the others have already been exposed, and Yuan Shiqing and the Ancient God Sect will definitely be searched all over the world, even if Basru reports his whereabouts, Chen Taiyuan and them have already been transferred, and it is harmless.

On the contrary, after the report, the Ancient God Sect will definitely torture Basru severely, and once he leaks his mouth, Basru himself may suffer. In line with the principle that more is better than less, Basru should not have reported it.

After leaving, Chen Taiyuan followed the map drawn by Basru, pinpointed the core of the high-rise building complex, and pointed out a route by the way. Try to be as fast and accurate as possible, and it would be nice to be able to plow the court in one fell swoop.

It's just that not long after leaving that neighborhood, I encountered a group of armed robots on the street. Damn, these guys are all cold dead lumps, and Chen Taiyuan's ability to detect doesn't have any effect.

There are not many of these little guys, but the density of the guns and bullets is quite amazing, and the firepower is relatively strong. Chen Taiyuan was even curious, aren't these weapons of yours against the rebel army? In that case, why be so powerful?! Ordinary people who can be injured by ordinary pistol bullets can be guilty of engaging in such heavy weapons?

What he didn't know was how huge the arsenal was. Since their whereabouts were administratively exposed, the matter must have been reported to Yuan Shiqing, and Yuan Shiqing must have guessed that Chen Taiyuan and others were coming. That is why the most powerful batch of strategic weapons has been drawn from the arsenal.

That's right, this kind of robot and the kind of reconnaissance and combat all-in-one machine just now are already at the strategic level in this world.

And more importantly, the Spirit Clan also dispatched a lot of masters to participate in the pursuit.

However, Yuan Shiqing was still very curious about how Chen Taiyuan and others could enter the micro world.
