a dilapidated village

"Swan geese are in the way of heaven, helping the world and saving the people!"

"The Heavenly Emperor is born, and the prosperous age reappears!"

An old Taoist priest in Taoist robes is spreading the faith to a group of sallow and emaciated peasants.

As early as Emperor Guangwu's period, they were already rebelling, leading the Red Eyebrow Army to attack the city, and now they are in Liu Hong's period, and they are still persevering in continuing to rebel.

From the founding of the country to the destruction of the country by the Han Dynasty, the rebellion persisted and struggled endlessly.

For more than 100 years, they were mainly active in the four prefectures of Qing, Xu, Yang, and Jing, and led uprisings one after another, such as the Zhanghe uprising across 49 counties and six counties.

Although the Zhanghe Uprising was finally suppressed by Wang Yun, they were never discouraged!

Even if they end up in failure every time, they never give up. They firmly believe that as long as they keep trying, there will always be a day of success.

The old Taoist priest has a disciple named Zhang Jiao, who is the smartest of all his disciples. He can often draw inferences from one instance, and his efficiency of spreading beliefs is higher than that of other Hongyan Taoist believers.

After praying today, all the farmers went back to their homes, and the old Taoist priest also took a dozen disciples to go to the next village to preach.

at night
They haven't reached the next village yet, so they rest directly in a dilapidated temple nearby.

This temple is dedicated to Nuwa, and the temple is covered with spider webs, and there are several beggar corpses in the corner, and some mice are "squeaking" gnawing on the carrion of the corpses.

"Master, our Hongyan Dao has a bad reputation. Except for those uneducated old farmers who don't understand us, those educated scholars and dignitaries know that our Hongyan Dao has always had a tradition of rebellion. As a result, our beliefs can only be found in It spreads among the people at the bottom, but cannot spread to the top."

"If we can spread our faith to the upper layers, then we can corrode and control the upper layers of the empire, so as to control the world without bloodshed, and at least reduce the difficulty of rebellion."

After resting, disciple Zhang Jiao said this to the old Taoist priest.

"My child, we are all the envoys of the Emperor of Heaven in the world. If we change the name of our belief, are we worthy of the Emperor of Heaven? Are we worthy of the prophets of all ages?" The old Taoist is a traditional Hongyan Taoist believer. In his opinion, changing the name This fact is too deviant, so he continued to criticize Zhang Jiao: "Hundreds of years ago, Hongyan Prophet [Jun] was born in the world, he was tortured in Luoyueyuan, but he did not give up on himself, but in purgatory He comprehended the truth of the world through such pain, and was enlightened by Emperor Hongyan."

"Master, what's the full name of the first generation of prophet [Jun]?" Another young man asked, his name was Zhang Bao.

"I don't know either. It's been hundreds of years, and no one knows about it. I only know that his name is Jun, and he is the first generation apostle of the Emperor of Heaven, so we all respectfully call him [Di Jun]." The old Taoist replied devoutly. .

"Master, where is Luoyueyuan?" A young man beside him asked puzzledly, his name was Zhang Liang.

"I don't know. This is a place that has been passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth among Hongyan Daoists, but no one knows where it is. They only know that it is a purgatory on earth, with the most terrifying existence in the world." The old Taoist said slowly.

"I still feel that changing the name is the only way to have a future." Zhang Jiao continued, holding a copy of "Taiping Qingling Jing", also known as "Taiping Jing", which is one of the many scriptures of Hongyan Dao. Other scriptures include "Red Eyebrow Sutra", "Black Emperor Sutra", "White Emperor Sutra", "Mayfly Sutra", "Luomen Sutra", "Zhang Jing" and so on.

"Okay, don't talk about the name change." The old Taoist stopped Zhang Jiao, and then, as usual, he led a group of disciples to start reviewing the scriptures: "Now let's start reviewing "Luo Menstrual Sutra."

"Born in the dark, smell, all things are embers, and embers have armor."

"Accompany with joy and enjoyment, while all living beings mourn, and there is a third in mourning."

"..."

After nearly an hour, the old Taoist priest finished reviewing the scriptures and began to tell his disciples the great stories of the prophets of the past dynasties.

"The first generation of prophets was inspired by the Emperor of Heaven in Purgatory, and created Hongyan Dao."

"The fourth generation of prophets once led the rebel army across the world during the cruelty of Emperor Wu."

"The ninth generation of prophets assisted Shen Tusheng to establish the Swan Goose Heavenly Kingdom, which almost overthrew the Han Court and established a kingdom belonging to the Emperor of Heaven."

"The No. 12 Prophet, who once commanded the Red Eyebrow Army, defeated Xinmang's army steadily."

"The No. 13 generation of prophets, unfortunately, fell into the conspiracy of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu and was killed by the Han court."

"The No. 14 Prophet begged Liu Xiu to surrender, and wanted the imperial court to appease him, but was brutally slaughtered by the Han court after being appalled."

"The No. 15 Prophet once took advantage of the internal struggle between Liu Xiu and the powerful gentry to revolt, but after the internal struggle between the Han court and the powerful gentry, he was suppressed by the gentry and the imperial army."

"The following generations of prophets could only hide in Tibet and hide their names until the time of Emperor An. Foreign relatives controlled the government, and the Qiang people rebelled. Only the No. 20 generation of prophets had a chance to revolt, but unfortunately they were suppressed by the court."

"During Emperor Shun's time, the No.20 second-generation prophet once assisted Yangzhou Chuangwang Zhanghe to launch an uprising, but was suppressed by a scholar named Wang Yun."

"During the time of Emperor Huan, our No. 20 five-generation prophet launched an uprising in Xuzhou, Qingzhou, but was unfortunately suppressed by a man named Huangfugui."

"Now, as the No. 20 seventh-generation prophet of Hongyan Road, I have the responsibility and obligation to save the world and save those poor people who don't have enough food or clothing."

"After I die, some of you will become the No. 20 eighth-generation prophet. I hope you will carry forward the orthodoxy of Hongyan Dao. You must overthrow the sky and establish a heaven that belongs to Hongyan Dao!"

The old Taoist spoke for a long time, and while he was talking, all his disciples fell asleep, and he was the only one still muttering to himself.

The next day

Tatata!
"Master Jun, that's right here, those Hongyan Dao rebels are all here."

A villager brought the officers and soldiers of the court to the temple.

"No, people from the imperial court are here!" Zhang Jiao was shocked, and quickly woke up the rest of his brothers.

"Hurry up, I'll stop them!" the old Taoist said firmly.

"Master!" The other disciples said reluctantly.

"I am a prophet. I sacrifice myself for the Emperor of Heaven. This is my destination. Children, let's go!" the old Taoist resolutely said, without any fear.

After all, the old Taoist lifted his long sword and came outside the temple alone.

"It's him who spreads the Hongyan Dao belief in our village!" the villager pointed at the old Taoist priest and shouted.

"There are bad people in the crowd!" Looking at the sallow and emaciated villager, the old Taoist sighed in his heart. These ordinary people were exploited by the court's exorbitant taxes, but for a little reward from the court, they went to help the court to report and expose those who dared to resist the court.

As everyone knows, the rewards given by the court are also exploited from them, and the wool comes from sheep.

"The tenth chapter of "Luomenjing" says that the devil mocked us as a mob, but the Prophet [Di Jun] led the mob to dig the devil's ancestral grave. The mission of our Hongyan Dao is to lead the mob to defeat this Self-righteous rulers of the world!"
