The weather is gradually getting warmer, and the spring breeze is blowing between the counties and countries of Jizhou, and the mulberry trees that have been sleeping for a cold winter begin to pull out emerald green shoots.

Jizhou is the well-deserved first of all states, not only in terms of population and land, but also in terms of commerce.

As soon as it warmed up, the straight road between the counties was full of business travelers.

The farmer was working in the fields, his skin was dark, covered with calluses and wrinkles, like a withered old tree.

From time to time, the farmer glanced at the wealthy merchants on the journey, and there was a hint of envy in his eyes, which had gradually become numb.

is under the same blue sky, but life is so different, just a fantasy, and then lowered his head and cultivated the land of the wealthy family.

It used to be his land, but not anymore.

You should be grateful.

After all, he sold his land, rescued his son, and paid a lower tax to the wealthy family than to the imperial court, and he didn't have to serve forced labor, so he could live more comfortably.

In this era, many people died by planting their own land, because it was not enough to pay taxes to the imperial court.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt dizzy, and I fell to the ground in the dark.

The sound of him falling to the ground drew the people around him, and they saw him lying on the ground silently.

couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "San Lang, San Lang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Naturally, there was no movement, and if it weren't for the breath, everyone would have thought he was dead.

"Whew."

An extremely plainly decorated, even old-fashioned carriage, happened to pass by and stopped on the side of the road.

Everyone looked at the carriage curiously, guessing what kind of noble person it was, but there was something important.

After all, the carriage and the horse that pulls it are not something that ordinary people can afford.

I saw a Taoist man in a Taoist robe with a nine-section staff in his hand and a carriage walking out of the carriage, about forty years old, very thin, with a dark complexion, but a kind face, which made people feel close.

When the farmer on the side of the road saw the Taoist, he was immediately surprised: "It's the master of Taiping Road." ”

Because the image of Zhang Jiao is too obvious, especially the nine-section scepter, coupled with the unique logo of Taiping Road, basically everyone in Jizhou knows and everyone knows.

Taiping Dao was born out of Taoism.

Huang Lao Taoism itself has a lot of mystery, especially the "Taishang Suwang Chapter" written by Lao Tzu, one of the sages, which clearly records the dialogue between himself and the incarnation of Suwang.

Although this is considered by most people to be a forgery, there are still many people who firmly believe it, because it directly wrote what King Su said, and Luo's did not refute the rumors, and let Lao Tzu serve as the sacrificial wine of Luo's Palace, and Confucius of the same era also did not question it.

This is not normal!

There is only one truth, that is, this article is true, Lao Tzu really had a conversation about the Tao between Lao Tzu and Emperor Suwang.

The fusion of Taoism, immortals, Fangshi, Yin-Yang and various folklore and metaphysics, coupled with Buddhism from the Western Regions, the influence of the sect cultivated in this religious Gu pond, brought about a change in thinking, and finally from the school, the local religion was integrated to form Taoism.

Taoism in Ji Zhao's history was a bit dark at the beginning, but in this world, Ji Zhao's influence is too strong, and even the hundred schools of thought have to be related to King Su in terms of inheritance.

In order to survive, Buddhism completed the localization of the Western Regions in just over ten years, and wrote the classic theory of the incarnation of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, which was transmitted to the Central Plains and localized the Central Plains culture for a wave, which has changed beyond recognition.

The same is true of Taoism, from the moment of birth, there is a question, what is the status of the emperor in your religion?

No?

You cult!

Subordinate to other gods?

This cult!

In this reality, Taoism studied the Buddhist theory of the incarnation of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and believed that Emperor Su was the source of all Tao, gods, and saints.

There are tens of millions of his own sleeping god doppelgangers, and the holy kings, emperors, and emperors of the past three generations and the past are all the incarnations of the prime king.

Until the end of the three generations, the emperor of Suwang descended into the world and turned into Ji Zhao, and completely established Zhuxia, which is why Bang Zhou can have a thousand-year mandate of heaven.

And Lao Tzu is the last time that Emperor Su incarnated into the nether realm, leaving behind the Tao Te Ching and many Taoist classics to save the world.

This is the origin of "Su Wang is like the sky, Lao Tzu is like a dragon", which is why Lao Tzu and a mortal can feel Su Wang, because Lao Tzu is a wisp of Su Wang's divine thoughts.

Taiping Dao completely absorbed this set of fundamental theories, the difference is that the sect leader claims to be a great sage and good teacher, and has been taught by Taishang Laojun to educate the people with good Taoism.

The reason why I didn't say that I was taught by King Su was because I didn't dare to use the name of King Su directly.

The theory of Taiping Dao is based on folklore, when Emperor Su is asleep most of the time, the world will gradually become a dark world, and the world where Emperor Su is sleeping is always peaceful.

When Emperor Su wakes up, the world will be as peaceful as the heavenly realm, and the goal of the Taiping Dao is to establish the peaceful world and eventually form the kingdom of gods on earth.

Taiping Dao is the most prosperous in Jizhou, where the belief of the emperor is very deep, Zhang Jiao held a nine-section scepter, came to the fainted farmer, and the surrounding people knelt on the ground.

Zhang Jiao frowned slightly, Taiping Dao pays attention to the equality of everyone and is a brother, this kind of kneeling ceremony is not used.

"King Su is above, the world is peaceful!"

This is a sentence often said by Taoists in Taiping Dao, Zhang Jiao was stunned for a moment, knowing that these people were kneeling not themselves, so it was okay.

Everyone stood up and looked at Zhang Jiao with hope, Zhang Jiao helped the fainted farmer up, and after a little inspection, he knew that it was caused by overwork, and then looked at the people around him, dressed in tatters, sighed slightly in his heart, and then asked everyone around: "Can this farmer worship King Su on weekdays?" ”

As soon as he heard Zhang Jiao's question, the people around him hurriedly said: "Naturally, it is worshipped, it is only a few hundred miles away from Zhaocheng, and every family praises King Su and the emperor." ”

Zhang Jiao nodded slightly, and then said, "Since you worship King Su, then take a bowl of water." ”

The two hurriedly took a bowl of water, Zhang Jiao stretched out his hand to take out a rune paper, and the eyes of the people around him lit up.

No wonder this Taoist asked whether to worship King Su just now, if he didn't worship on weekdays and didn't have the heart of Taoism in his heart, then I am afraid it would be useless.

Zhang Jiao didn't speak, but just shook the small piece of rune paper in his hand gently.

The rune paper burned automatically, and the surrounding farmers were surprised and surprised when they saw this magical scene, and they all stared with wide eyes, lest they miss the process of casting the Daoist's spell.

All of them were secretly drumming in their hearts, thinking that this Taiping Dao really deserved its reputation, and there was such a magical water run.

Seeing the green smoke of the rune paper in Zhang Jiao's hand, the fire was bright, he waited for a while, his mouth seemed to be muttering something, and then threw the burning rune paper into the water.

The rune paper was very magical, the flame on the paper met the water, and it did not go out, but still burned, and even like a fire cooking oil, the fire became more and more vigorous.

In just a few breaths, the rune paper burned out in the bowl and turned into ashes, floating on the surface of the water, and then a few more breaths, completely blending into the water.

The bowl of water was still as clear as before, but everyone saw that there were ashes on it just now.

Now that the ashes were all melted into the water, Zhang Jiao pointed at the farmer and said, "Someone will open his mouth and feed him the rune water." ”

Everyone gave the rune water to the farmer to drink, waiting for the effect to appear, the farmer soon woke up, and everyone bowed to Zhang Jiao in surprise, shouting "The world is peaceful".

Zhang Jiao got up and left and said: "Live well, the spirit of the sky will turn to the dark side, the light will pierce the darkness like lightning, and King Su will wake up from the nine heavens, and the world will be peaceful." ”

After saying that, he stepped into the carriage and lifted the curtain, and there was a man sitting in the carriage.

The face is like a crown of jade, handsome and refined, like a person walking out of the painting.

Transcendent as holy, with infinite holiness in his eyes.

A little stigma in the center of the eyebrows.

It's Luo's son!

Zhang Jiao, unknown nationality, unknown teacher, Taoist in the mountains, serving Taoism, fortunately "Taiping Qingping Sutra", then built Taiping Dao, with good Taoism to educate the world, called "great sage and good teacher".

The words of the Taiping Sutra: "The stars are billions and billions, not as bright as a day; Zhu Tianqun's words are not as virtuous as the country; The virtues of the saints and emperors are not as good as the emperor. ”

The horn often travels between the counties and countries, all over the states, more than ten years, there are hundreds of thousands of disciples, all say: "The sky is dead, Zhaoming descends into the world." King Su awakens, the world is peaceful! ——"The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Zhang Jiao"
