Chapter 32
A few years have passed, and the plague that rags in the world has been well suppressed, and there are almost no places where the Taiping Sect founded by Zhang Jiao has unknowingly spread to every corner of the Han Dynasty, and it can be said that Zhang Jiao will be worshiped by the gods wherever he goes.

But that's not what Zhang Jiao wants, after all these years, his disciples have indeed helped each other, but the nobles who have given the greatest persecution to the disciples have not changed.
Zhang Jiao was still living in his hut in Julu at this time, looking at the "Taiping Technique" in his hand uncertainly, he was still thinking about the people of the world in his heart, advocating peace and preaching kindness for so many years, but there are still a large number of peasants in exile in this world, starving all over the wilderness, even the Beijing Luoyang is also the dead pillow on the road, Zhang Jiao wants to change the world, and he has never wavered, even if he has the power to affect nine-tenths of the hearts of the people in the world and three-quarters of the land of the Han Dynasty.
Zhang Bao studied the book of heaven and learned the law of management, he divided the eight states of the Taiping Sect in the world into 36 parties, more than 10,000 people, six or seven thousand small parties, each party set up a canal marshal, each canal marshal will come to Julu County to participate in Zhang Jiao's meeting after three months, everything was taken care of by Zhang Bao in an orderly manner, and today is the day when the canal marshal came to the meeting.
Zhang Jiao walked out of the door, came to the front of the house and the land sandwiched by the mountains and forests to sit on the ground, the crowd of Qu Shuai had already sat in a group, originally Zhang Bao meant to build a meeting hall, no matter how bad it was, he had to arrange a seat, like the civil and military dynasty to stand in two ways, but Zhang Jiao stopped Zhang Bao, and said: "We did not establish the Taiping Sect to gather everyone together and rank the seats. ”
Zhang Jiao sat in the middle of all the Qu Shuai, and greeted everyone with a humble smile on his face: "Hello everyone. ”
"Good teacher!" Thirty-six Qu Shuai replied loudly.
Zhang Jiao smiled bitterly and didn't say much, and continued the original meeting process and spoke: "Then according to the usual practice, let's first introduce the relevant aspects of the mission during this time, and Ma Qushuai will come first." ”
Ma Yuanyi is the Taipingjiao who is responsible for the disciples of Jingzhou and Yangzhou, who is honest and wise, and has won Zhang Jiao's trust, thinking that he is the person who can best understand Zhang Jiao's ambitions in the Taiping Sect, and is the head of the Qu Shuai, but everyone in the Taiping Sect is equal, and the superiors are not allowed to oppress the subordinates, so that the Taiping is the basic, so no one cares who is the one.
Ma Yuanyi and others introduced the situation of the state and county sects they were responsible for in turn, and in general, everyone's hearts were good, but the current situation of life was very bad, and the Taiping Sect only existed as a pious belief in a better life in the hearts of the people.
After listening to everyone's introductions, Zhang Jiao pondered for a while, and said, "At today's meeting, I would like to discuss with you some things about our original intention to establish the church. ”
All the Qu Shuai immediately sat up straight and craned their necks to listen.
"A few years ago, Jiao and his two younger brothers were just first-order civilians, and they also lived a life of not knowing life and death every day, although they were not taken into slavery, but starvation was also frequent, and they were close to death several times, and the people of the world were all in purgatory-like days at that time, I often thought about what could be changed, so that the people of the world could live a stable and happy life again."
"I am fortunate to have mercy on God, the immortals gave me the Book of Heaven, so that I can proclaim for the heavens, save the world, just when there is a plague in the world, so I walked the world to save people with water, and I don't want to create this religion."
"Since its founding, our religion has been committed to persuading people in the world to do more good deeds and less bad deeds, hoping to reduce the suffering of the world and restore peace in the world."
As he spoke, Zhang Jiao's expression darkened: "It's a pity that since the founding of the religion, there are more and more believers, and our religion has spread all over the Central Plains, but the living conditions of the believers have not improved, and the political situation in the world is still dark. ”
"It can be seen that my sect is useless to the world," Zhang Jiao looked at the people in front of him with a depressed face and said, "I hope you can teach Zhang Jiao today, where to go?" ”
"......" Zhong Qu Shuai was speechless for a while, it could be seen that Zhang Jiao had fallen into confusion at this time, and everyone had been following Zhang Jiao to preach, and they would do whatever Zhang Jiao said, and now Zhang Jiao suddenly became confused, and everyone seemed to have no direction, not knowing what to do, let alone what good suggestions they could put forward.
The scene fell silent for a while, and suddenly, Ma Yuanyi got up and knelt down in front of Zhang Jiao.
"Good teacher! I don't know what to say or not. ”
Zhang Jiao looked at Ma Yuanyi, who was heavy-faced, and said, "Say it, Yuanyi." ”
Ma Yuanyi vaguely mentioned: "Now we have more than 800,000 members in eight states. ”
Zhang Jiao asked inexplicably: "I know this, so what?" ”
Ma Yuanyi saw that Zhang Jiao couldn't understand, so he opened his words a little more: "Among the more than 800,000 people, nearly 400,000 are young and strong, and when gathered, they are a force to move mountains and reclaim the sea!" ”
"Huh?" Zhang Jiao seemed to have grasped some point, but he still looked puzzled.
"Oh, guess how long it will take to play dumb riddles, I'll tell you!" Guan Hai rushed out of the crowd and also knelt down in front of Zhang Jiao.
Guan Hai removed Ma Yuanyi's hand to block him, first saluted Zhang Jiao, hit his head on the ground fiercely, knocking out blood, and then knelt and walked to Zhang Jiao's feet, and then knocked his head on the ground again, looking up at Zhang Jiao with tears in his eyes: "Good teacher!" Take us to the fucking Han room! ”
"That's right! It's the other way around! ”
"Those dog officials never looked at us as human beings!"
"Good teacher! Take us backwards! ”
"That's right! On the contrary! ”
"It's the other way around!" "It's the other way around!" "It's the other way around!" ……
Guan Hai's glance immediately aroused the response of many Qu Shuai, and for a while, the crowd was furious, and more than 30 people shouted to resist the oppression of the Han family.
Ma Yuanyi was already in tears at this time, and knelt on the ground with his fists clenched: "Good teacher!" Please take us to reverse the Han dynasty and rebuild a peaceful and prosperous world! ”
The crowd shouted even higher, staring at Zhang Jiao with a pair of sincere eyes, with their only hope for survival and light.
Zhang Jiao looked at the people shouting in front of him and didn't say a word. The crowd slowly whispered, waiting for Zhang Jiao to speak.
Time and space seemed to freeze at this moment, the air stopped flowing, the birds froze in the air, the wheat fields in the distance no longer swayed with the wind, and the bodies of the people were stiff like petrified statues.
After as if 10,000 years had passed, Zhang Jiao's lips moved slightly: "This matter will be put aside for the time being, and the Zhongqu Shuai will return to his belongings." Build an altar and gather the congregation, I have something to say. ”
Ma Yuanyi and the other commanders didn't know what Zhang Jiao's plan was, but since the good teacher had already given the order, then he must implement it first.
Therefore, 36 Qu Shuai rode fast horses and galloped back, starting from the giant deer, and scattered to Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other eight prefectures, gathered the congregation, and built altars...... At the end of the morning exercise, Yuan Kuma walked into the hall from the courtyard with a steady pace, and found that Situ Yangci was already waiting in the hall.
"Master Yuan, are you looking for me?" Seeing Yuan Kuma come in, Yang Ci immediately got up and saluted.
"Well," Yuan Kuma beckoned Yang Ci lightly to sit down, "I heard that a Taiping Sect has recently appeared, and it has a lot of momentum, with hundreds of thousands of followers?" ”
"Back to Master Yuan, there is indeed something going on. However, this Taiping Sect advocates being kind to people and educating the world, and some officials, scholars, and even eunuchs have participated in the Taiping Sect, and it is not a cult. ”
"Cult?" Yuan Kuma sat down slowly, looked down at the lines of the wooden planks on the ground, raised his head to look at Yang Ci and said, "Whether it is a cult or not is not something we should care about. This Taiping sect has hundreds of thousands of followers, and its influence is no less than that of a prince, and we have not been involved...... Hundreds of thousands, still too dangerous. ”
"So what does Master Yuan mean?"
Yuan Kuma smiled lightly: "Situ is in charge of civil affairs."
Yang Ci nodded and left.
After Yang Ci returned, he immediately sent a letter to Emperor Ling, requesting the capture of the Taiping Sect leader and the leaders.
However, no one knew that in the dark corners of their side, and even thousands of miles away, every big Han official and powerful person could not see, an event that was about to turn the world upside down was slowly unfolding in these dirty and corrupt places that were disliked and avoided by the aristocracy.
Under the sky, one simple altar after another rose from the ground above Kyushu in three days, they were backed by dark mountain stones, facing the open land where the bonfire was lit, the two-story altar consisted of a pedestal and an altar, the base was a huge octagonal stone, which was painted like a bagua, the altar was a small circular platform, the center was painted with Taiji, and a large tripod was placed in the center of the Taiji diagram.
An innumerable number of believers came from all over the world in a frenzy, driving, riding, rowing, but more often than not, it was the poor people who laid down their farming tools and left behind their hometowns where they had lived all their lives.
The 800,000 followers of the Taiping Sect gathered towards the nearest altar, and when they looked down from mid-air, they could see the heads of the people all over the world, like wildebeest migrating, driving to the altars everywhere.
Some people sold all their possessions in exchange for a few days' rations and hurried away, some were so hungry that they could not stand up but marched firmly on crutches into the distance, and some were missing legs but had to crawl to the holy place in their hearts.
Thousands of believers rushed to the place where they had gathered, climbed over the hills, crossed the river, and finally came to the place where the altar was. The crowd walked into the valley where the altar was built, and when they saw the black altar in the distance, everyone immediately fell silent, did not say a word, did not squint, and walked to the open space where the bonfire was lit and sat down silently.
Slowly, more and more people came to gather, and gradually the whole valley was filled.
Tens of thousands of people sat there, covering the sky and the sun without making a sound, just sitting there and waiting, waiting.
Jizhou, Julu County.
Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao Zhang Liang joined hands around a medium-sized round tripod in a circle, burning incense and sprinkling powder in the house, pasting Taoist charms all over the house, the three of them closed their eyes and concentrated, chanting words in their mouths, and were working together.
"Hurry!"
The three of them suddenly opened their eyes and shouted, withdrew their hands and couldn't help but seal, and then pointed towards Dingzhong.
"Boom!"
I saw a burst of yellow fireworks flashing in the big tripods of the altars all over the world, and then the projection of Zhang Jiao flashed in the fireworks on the ding.
"Roar...... Roar...... Roar ......"
The ten thousand believers, who were as quiet as water, suddenly boiled and cheered. The sound resounded through the clouds, the birds were shaken down into the sky, the clouds and the stars sang this jubilation, and the sound spread to the ears of everyone who did not sleep in the world, and people went out of their homes to look for the sound that resounded through the heavens and the earth, but the sound of the blue sky thundered on the golden drum, and the waves of the sea made a harmony, and the heavens and the earth echoed for him, and there was nowhere to be found.
I saw Zhang Jiao wearing a dark blue robe, wearing a yellow scarf on his head, and raised his hand and waved.
Brush, the sound that originally carried through the heavens and the earth stopped abruptly, and everyone quieted down and waited seriously for Zhang Jiao to speak.
Zhang Jiao raised his head and looked at the various altar scenes that appeared on the Ding, and countless believers craned their necks to look at themselves, they had given their souls and lives to themselves, just so that there would be no more pain and suffering they were going through in the world in the future.
Zhang Jiao took a deep breath, controlled his emotions and said in a steady voice to the fellow sectarians all over the sky:
"Cultists, it's been too long! It's been a long time! ”
"I've endured so much over the years. Drought, flood, earthquake, famine, plague, ......"
"Originally, there was supposed to be disaster relief from the imperial court and support from all sides. But what did you see what the princes and nobles had done? What did the powerful people do? The forced labor is becoming more and more onerous day by day, and the punishment is becoming more severe day by day! ”
"Whoever has given us a way to live, we will never be where we are today."
"There is an oracle in the book of heaven in my hand, the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand!"
"Today, we will do the right thing for heaven, overthrow the Han family, and give me a peaceful world!"
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky!"
Thousands of suffering congregants shouted loudly: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!" ”
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!"
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!"
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!"
Immediately, the crowd of people took action, and they flew out of the valley, picked up sickles, hoes, and yellow turbans, and swept the world like a raging tsunami.
For a time, the clouds moved in all directions, and the yellow turbans were everywhere in the eight states of Qing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan and Henan.
They rushed into the city and into the streets like a torrent. The guards who had stopped them were now trampled under their feet; The mansion they had once passed with the same husk as a cicada was now occupied by them; The lords and adults who used to curse and whip them are now their prisoners.
Walls, swords, guns, horses...... Whoever stands in their way will be crushed and scattered.
Yes! It is known that the heavens will be angry if someone offends his majesty.
So God knows if people can be angry too? When the heavens whipped and enslaved them, when the heavens brought them to the Jedi where the people were miserable, the group with the lowest status in the reckless world was also angry.
They were angry, and gathered all the strength of their anger to smash the heavens!
It is with this anger that Zhang Jiao leads the fire of anger of 800,000 people to burn all over the world!
Once these people lost their dignity and became enslaved, someone took everything they were supposed to hold tightly in their hands.
Now 800,000 people are in armor and clenched their knives, and they are going to go up to the robbers and bandits, chop off their hands with a knife, and take back their own things.
