Chapter 14: The Taiping Sutra

The current Yellow Turban thieves are actually some farmers.

But it's a pity that the Yellow Turban Army called by Zhang Jiao is too scattered and looks huge, but it is distributed in all states of the world and fights for itself.

The Yellow Turbans lacked a tight organization and the discipline they needed to restrain the peasants who had just put down their hoes and picked up their swords.

From the very beginning, the Yellow Turban Army started to kill officials and eat big households, which was equivalent to opening Pandora's box and no longer being able to brake the car.

Man is an extremely complex animal, they could have been a very gentle person, a very timid and cowardly person, and a person who would not dare to kill a chicken.

They can endure the layers of exploitation by the government and landlords, they can keep their voices down in order to survive, and they can kneel and beg for a little bit of food.

But when they suddenly became angry and killed the officers and soldiers who were on high in the sky, and killed the landlords who treated them like slaves, and seized their money and food. They will find that the government and landlords who have been riding on their heads to make a fortune and force them to have no way to live are all paper tigers. As long as they dare to pick up the knife and give them a white knife in and out of the red knife, they can easily kill them, so that they can have everything.

This kind of wealth obtained by violence makes people who have never imagined how rich they will be, lose themselves in an instant.

It turns out that it is so easy to get glory and wealth. The first half of my life was in vain.

Just killing, killing, killing, more and more people joined them, and everywhere they passed, those officials fled when they heard the news, and those landlords were killed by them without leaving a single chicken and dog.

They kill from one place to another, and wealth comes too easily. They don't know what to do with all this wealth, they don't have that kind of mental gaze to think about the future. They just eat and drink desperately, desperately thinking about making up for the hunger they have endured in the first half of their lives, eating enough, anyway, when they are done eating, they will grab it again.

But whether it is the government or the local landlords, there are so many of them, and if they are killed and robbed, there will be no more. The Yellow Turban Army, who had no restraint at all, only then did they realize that the money and food they had snatched back really couldn't stand up to consumption.

They are hungry and afraid, and they finally have a happy life, how can they be willing to let themselves go hungry again?

Then grab it again, the landlord is gone, so who is it to rob? robbed those ordinary people, anyway, those people are not all the way with them, they are all the way, they are all the way, and they have already joined their Yellow Turban Army.

At this time, they have completely forgotten that they were originally like those ordinary people, and have forgotten how hard they used to live.

As for their leader, Zhang Jiao, the teachings of the Taiping Tao that he originally advocated, the doctrine of creating a peaceful world, creating a world without exploitation and oppression, without hunger, cold, disease, and without fraud and theft, and that everyone is free and happy. They had already been thrown into the country of Gwawa.

Because they don't have a strict organization, they don't have strict discipline, they have completely let themselves go. In fact, sometimes it is useless to talk to them about what is the truth and what is righteous, because most of them are illiterate people. They won't understand it.

All they know is that now they have knives and guns, and they only know that they can rob them when they have no food or drink.

In this way, the Yellow Turban Army completely changed and completely became robbers and bandits.

When they saw blood and killed people, their mood and mentality also changed.

Especially after killing some unarmed civilians, their psychology has changed from the initial forbearance and anxiety to psychopathic distortion, and then killing people will be even more violent.

In later generations, there are many examples that can prove that some people who have been oppressed to the extreme, once they have a certain amount of power, they will become even more fierce and more crazy to retaliate and kill the common people. These can look at the sticks of the afterlife, and ......

Now, there are more than a dozen Yellow Turban thieves who are flowing towards Liulin Village, and they are such and such thieves.

They were the Yellow Turban thieves who escaped from Quang Jong.

I don't know how many people are trapped in the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong, but it is estimated that there are more than 100,000 at least. When the city was broken, Huangfu Song led the army to kill tens of thousands, and in the process of pursuit, tens of thousands were drowned.

But it is true that many Yellow Turban thieves escaped.

Strictly speaking, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court did not have as many troops as the Yellow Turban Army, and when they attacked Guangzong, they did not have too many troops to be completely trapped by Guangzong.

In fact, among the Yellow Turban Army, there were indeed several Yellow Turban Army fleeing in groups.

Among them, including some of the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, they also fled with many Yellow Turban Army. is like the generals in the Yellow Turban Army, Guan Hai, Bai Bo, Huang Long, Zuo Xiao, Zhang Niujiao, Wulu, Qi Gen, Bai Jue, Yang Feng, Yu Poison, Zhu Feiyan and so on.

These are actually well-known leaders in the Taiping Dao, and some of them are also commanders in various states in the world. Originally, they did not follow Zhang Jiao's side to fight with the officers and soldiers, but were in charge of the Yellow Turban Army in various places.

The reason why they appeared in Guangzong was actually because they received the news of Zhang Jiao's illness and died, so they rushed to Guangzong.

They came to Guangzong, one of them naturally came to confirm whether their leader Zhang Jiao really died of illness, the other was to fight for the position of the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, and the most important third reason was that they came for Zhang Jiao's "Taiping Qing Collar Book".

"Taiping Qing Lingshu" is actually "Taiping Sutra".

"Taiping Sutra", according to legend, was awarded by the gods to the monk Yu Ji of the Eastern Han Dynasty Taoist Taiping Taoist classics, and later coincidentally, Yu Ji gave it to Zhang Jiao.

In fact, the Taiping Sutra was spread among the people as early as the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The content of the Taiping Sutra is extensive, involving heaven and earth, yin and yang, the five elements, the ten branches, disasters, immortals, etc. In Taoism, the Taiping Sutra also has a very important position.

In addition, the "Taiping Sutra" is also regarded as a prophecy to convey the mandate of heaven, constituting the Taiping Department in the "Three Caves and Four Auxiliaries" of the Taoist Sutra, which has been compiled into the Taoist collection of the past dynasties.

Folklore has it that whoever gets the "Taiping Sutra" will get the mandate of heaven. This, like the jade seal of the country, has the same wonderful meaning. Even, because the Taiping Sutra is given by the gods, therefore, among the people, the influence of the Taiping Sutra may be better than the national jade seal.

At the very least, the "Taiping Sutra" is said to be a sacred book, from which you can learn Taoist immortal arts, which is a treasure that everyone in the folk monks wants.

Because of this, many of the leaders of the Yellow Turban Qu Marshals, who originally led the Yellow Turban Army and the imperial court officers and soldiers in various places, rushed to Guangzong after learning that Zhang Jiao had died of illness, and their purpose was self-evident, that is, to come to this "Taiping Sutra".

Among the Yellow Turban thieves who seem to be only about a dozen people, there is a Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, Li Damu!
