Jizhou, Julu County.

In a dilapidated mountain villa deep in the mountains, the lights are bright, crowded with people, and it is very lively.

On a high platform more than five feet high in the village, a sloppy man, holding a nine-section scepter, reciting words in his mouth, danced back and forth on the high platform like a great dancer. The man had a bearded face, his eyes were shining, and he was dressed in a faded earthy yellow robe, with hemp rope wrapped around his waist and black hemp shoes on his feet.

Under the high platform, a large number of men crowded every corner of the villa, and the men were dressed in different styles and colors, but one thing was the same, all of them had a different number of patches. The men looked up at the men on the high platform, dancing rhythmically, and from time to time they uttered "Hi! Hi! ......" voice.

From a distance, this group of ragged men gathered together to dance and shout, like a large gathering of beggars.

Today is the birthday of Zhang Jiao of Taiping Road. Zhang Jiao himself is also a hard-working person, his family is poor, his parents died early, he alone relied on various means such as abduction and abduction to pull his two younger brothers up, he can be regarded as a good brother, but he is also a hooligan who cheats and cheats. As the saying goes, the eldest brother is the father. Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were raised by Zhang Jiao, and treated Zhang Jiao like a father, in order to celebrate Zhang Jiao's birthday, the two decided to hold a grand birthday banquet for Zhang Jiao after some discussion, in order not to make mistakes, the two prepared for several months in advance, and summoned all the small leaders in Jizhou to Zhang Jiao's temporary residence - Taiping Villa, and also invited some learned disciples in Taiping Road to give advice together.

The dance that the men are dancing now is a unique celebration gift of Taiping Road - Taiping Nafu Dance. The so-called Nafu dance means that the blessed person prays to the heavens on the high platform, and the blessed person dances together under the high platform to show his sincerity.

In fact, this kind of dance was not created by Zhang Jiao himself, but choreographed by Zhang Jiao according to the records in the Taiping Sutra. In the more than ten years since the establishment of Taiping Dao, Zhang Jiao has mastered a lot of very bluffing "magic skills" according to the records on the Taiping Sutra, he has not only learned good medical skills, but also dabbled in the production of runes, alchemy, spells, practices, etc., not to mention a little fur, but also not how profound. Zhang Jiao not only believed in the "Taiping Sutra" himself, but also asked his two younger brothers to study the "Taiping Sutra". In addition, Zhang Jiao also recruited disciples and sent eight disciples to various states to spread the Taiping Dao.

In this way, under the banner of curing diseases and saving people, and helping the people in the world, Taiping Dao grew rapidly, and was unanimously supported by the people, and many people even enshrined the tablets of Zhang Jiao and others. People from all walks of life and all kinds of people continue to join the Taiping Road, there are disaster victims who have no hope of life, there are homeless people who can't eat, there are extremely vicious bandits, there are peddlers and pawns who work hard, there are also many heroes, scholars and all kinds of rich families, and even officials...... Taiping Road developed rapidly, its power expanded dramatically, and the scenery was unmatched for a while.

Suddenly, a shout came, "Report-"

A man came galloping on horseback, retracted the reins, rolled his horse from the saddle, and rushed into the mountain villa with a rolling belt.

The man on the high platform knew that there was urgent information coming, and immediately raised the Nine Runes Staff and shouted: "Stop-" The man is Zhang Jiao, the great sage and mentor of Taiping Dao.

The men in the audience slowly stopped dancing and made way for the men who were rushing over.

The man who reported the news ran to the high platform, knelt on the ground, and said breathlessly: "Enlightenment...... Enlightenment ...... Great Sage and Mentor, Ma ...... Ma Qushuai has ...... It has been ...... by the imperial court car The car cracked in Luoyang ......"

"Hum-" As soon as the man's voice fell, the men in the audience blew up......

"The car cracks?! How so? ”

"This ...... Is this too sudden? ”

"Then what should we do, won't we be arrested too......"

……

Zhang Jiao frowned, a little irritable, raised the nine-section talisman staff, and yelled: "Shut up Lao Tzu!" ”

There was silence for a moment, and then there was a buzzing sound......

Some time ago, Zhang Jiao suddenly received an urgent report from someone sent by Ma Yuanyi. The urgent report said that Tang Zhou in Jinan was arrested and betrayed, and the secret matter had been leaked. Ma Yuanyi also reported that he had escaped from Luoyang and sent people to get Tang Zhou out of prison and then sent to Jizhou to wait for his fate.

After receiving Ma Wuyi's urgent report, Zhang Jiao, who was highly respected by the people, thought that he was quite popular with the people, and did not take this matter to heart, Zhang Jiao believed that most of today's officials did not act, and the incompetent court would not make a big move, even if the court took action, it would not be so fast, I am afraid that by the time he raised the matter, the court had not yet begun to act.

However, a few days ago, he got the first news that shocked him - the Jizhou government government raided his Julu's hometown, although the home has long been uninhabited, but this gave Zhang Jiao a signal, the court seems to be going to move seriously. In the past few days, Zhang Jiao's mood has been greatly bad, restless, unpleasant to eat, and he has convened the heads of Taiping Dao several times to discuss, but he has not been able to come up with a good idea.

I didn't expect a second amazing news to come so soon.

Zhang Jiao couldn't help but get upset, glanced at the people below, and paced back and forth on the stage irritably, looking like a hooligan boss.

After wandering on the high platform for a while, Zhang Jiao raised his hand at the people below and said coldly: "Damn! Don't BB, let Lao Tzu be quiet for a while! As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand at everyone, "It's all gone, it's all gone!" ”

“……”

The crowd was stunned for a moment, and then dispersed one after another.

As soon as everyone left, Zhang Jiao called his two younger brothers to his side and asked, "What do you two think?" ”

Zhang Bao's eyes glared: "Big brother, I can't wait any longer, it's over, if I really wait until Jiazi Day, the daylily will be cold." ”

Zhang Jiao glanced at Zhang Bao, didn't say a word, and turned his head to look at Zhang Liang again.

Zhang Liang looked pensive and said lightly: "The second brother has a reasonable point, but there is a lack of a reason for the incident at the moment. ”

As soon as Zhang Liang's voice fell, Zhang Bao said directly: "What do you want?" Ma Yuanyi was killed by the imperial court! ”

Zhang Jiao frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "It seems that the arrow has to be sent on the string!" ”

Zhang Bao continued: "Big brother, get it, sooner or later, it will be done!" If we suddenly make an incident, we can catch the court off guard. ”

Zhang Liang said with some worry: "Big brother, we still have a lot of places that are not fully prepared, if we act rashly, what if the imperial court launches a ruthless attack and catches us off guard?" ”

Zhang Bao glared at the side: "It's all burning eyebrows!" If it's not tidy, the court will probably touch it here soon, and what if we stew our brother in a pot again? ”

Zhang Liang's eyes narrowed: "What do you mean by second brother?" Do you say that Lao Tzu is timid and afraid? ”

Zhang Jiao waved his hand: "Okay!" Stop arguing, it's not like talking! The second child is right, there is no time to look ahead. After speaking, his face turned grim, "I can't wait any longer, do it!" ”

Zhang Liang saw that Zhang Jiao had made up his mind, and he couldn't say anything more.

Zhang Bao was a little excited and shouted: "Okay! him! Kill those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, Lao Tzu will turn over and be the master! ”

Zhang Jiao raised his hand to signal Zhang Bao to shut up, and said, "Starry Night informs all parties, and the matter will be raised in three days!" ”

Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang bowed: "Yes!" Eldest brother! ”

"Hurry down and set it up! Don't delay the hour! ”

As soon as Zhang Jiao's words fell, another shout came from outside the villa:

"Newspaper—"

A man stumbled to the three brothers and knelt on the ground: "Enlighten the great sage and good teacher!" The traitor Tang Zhou has been escorted back! ”

"It's really sleepy, someone will send a pillow! Although Ma Yuanyi is dead, he did a pretty good job! After listening to the man's report, Zhang Jiao looked up to the sky and laughed, and then stretched out his dirty hand to pull the knotted hair, "It's just the right time!" Three days later, use the Tang Zhou sacrifice flag! ”

……

Three days later, late at night.

Nearly 30,000 Taiping believers gathered outside the Taiping Villa, each with a torch in their hands, a yellow scarf wrapped around their heads, hemp ropes tied around their waists, and all kinds of weapons, some even took out all the furniture for farming, some with knives, some with forks, some with sticks, some with sickles around their waists, and some with hoes...... In short, take whatever you have, just take the burning stick.

Tens of thousands of men lined up outside the villa, waiting for their great mentor and spiritual leader, Zhang Jiao, to give orders.

After a while, Zhang Jiao was dressed in a Taoist robe, holding a nine-section rune staff, striding in front of everyone, holding a nine-section rune staff, and shouting on his back: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!" The year is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky! ”

Everyone echoed in unison: "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand!" The year is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky! "Ten thousand people roared in unison, and the momentum shook the sky!

"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand! The year is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky! ”

……

Everyone shouted slogans with Zhang Jiao, and couldn't help but boil with enthusiasm, eager to go and capture the city now, slash corrupt officials, burn down the government, and confiscate the wealthy families......

Zhang Jiao raised his hand and waved his hand and said loudly: "Now, the emperor is unscrupulous, the officials are corrupt, and the people are miserable, but no one stands up for us and other ordinary people!" A certain fortunate to get the guidance of the immortal master, get the immortal book, learn the immortal arts, when the arms are raised, gather people with lofty ideals from all over the world, form a righteous army, save the people in danger, and you are fortunate to follow a certain common event, which is the blessing of you. Zhang Jiao's voice paused, and only the audience shouted in unison: "Always follow the great sage and good teacher!" Always follow the great sages and good teachers! ……”

After everyone shouted for a while, Zhang Jiao raised his hand and waved it, and said loudly: "There are clouds in the immortal book, there is the rule of heaven, the rule of the earth, and the rule of people, the three qi extremes, and then the rule of all things!" From now on, a certain is the 'Tiangong General', the great doctor Zhang Bao is the 'Digong General', and the great doctor Zhang Liang is the 'Rengong General', commanding the Ten Righteous Forces. ”

As soon as Zhang Jiao's voice fell, everyone shouted in unison:

"The rebels will win!"

"General Tiangong will win!"

"Victory!"
