Taiping Road, which originated from here, relied on a series of actions such as curing diseases with talisman water and saving people with elixirs. Its influence has far exceeded that of the Han Dynasty. This is also related to the fact that most of Jizhou belongs to princes rather than counties.
The administrative seat of Jizhou is located in Wei County. When the relevant decrees of the prefect and the county magistrate are sent to Julu, they are all sent directly to Taiping Road, instead of the Julu County Yamen, which has no control except within the Yamen. If the people have disputes, they can only
I will seek help from Taipingdao for arbitration.
Logically speaking, this situation should be reported to Luoyang by the county magistrate, but the problem is that the official position of Julu County Magistrate was bought. If he dares to report that the civil society organizations are powerful and the decree is unreasonable, the fun-loving emperor will not do anything about it.
Remove him without hesitation and replace him with someone who will report "everything is normal" as the county guard.
Moreover, with the presence of Taiping Dao, there is no need to worry about surrounding security issues. If banditry occurs, there is no need for him to dispatch troops. The Taiping Dao disciples will go directly to take down all those indifferent bandits - none of them are ruthless.
How do you fight an opponent who is afraid of death, and no matter how badly injured he is, a bowl of talismanic water or an elixir will bring him to life in the blink of an eye?
What's more, the Taoist Patriarch of Taiping Taoism is said to have been taught by immortals and is omnipotent, so provoking him is simply because he thinks he will die too slowly.
We can only hope that one day they will not suddenly want to be an official.

On the outskirts of Julu City, the main altar of Taiping Road.
Sure enough, people's talents have their limits... Putting down the "Escape Book", Zhang Jiao sighed.
After twenty years of struggle, he is now known as the "Great Master", has millions of followers, nearly a thousand loyal companions and disciples, masters many wonderful spells, and is extremely powerful by virtue of his control of "phantoms"
, but not only is it not one step closer to the "immortal", but it is further away.
He basically mastered the Book of Human Escape, could understand very little of the Book of Earth Escape, and knew nothing about the Book of Heaven Escape. Five years after getting the three volumes of the Heavenly Book, Zhang Jiao's analysis of them hit a bottleneck here. In the following years, although it was difficult
He has mastered some spells, but there is almost no difference in overall progress.
According to Zhang Jiao's analysis, the key point lies in the "realm". As a mortal, what he can do is already the limit. According to the explanation in the book "The Escape of Human Beings", if he can "draw Qi into the body", he can be called extraordinary.
, and "unparalleled" is their manifestation. Only when you step into the next realm can you be called an "immortal".
Meteorites fall from the sky and spiritual energy is revived. It is not difficult to "introduce the energy into the body", but what happens after that? How to "refine the energy and become a god"?
Since there has been no progress for more than ten years, Zhang Jiao even tried to refine the "Spirit Condensation Pill" that is said to make a person ascend to the sky in one step, but he only made an enhanced version of Fu Shui, "Nine Flower Jade Dew Pills" - the name is still
It was started by that Lin Fairy.
Yes, of course, the "South China Old Immortal" didn't just throw him three volumes of heavenly books and leave him alone. Many of his disciples and companions were in the mysterious "Fairy Forest" that could simulate the battlefield.
"After training in the army, it can be said that if they were all thrown into the army of the Han Dynasty for training, they would definitely become famous generals like Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.
Even if the fairy eventually moves the forest away, which is exactly what the fairy family does, Zhang Jiao can still contact her through "sacrifice".
Mix various unrelated herbs with unknown meanings together and put them into a large cauldron and ignite them. The herbs that should have burned out quickly will actually burn very slowly, and bursts of thin smoke will rise.
As long as you inhale this smoke a little, you can communicate with the "South China Fairy".
This is a way of "sacrifice to the sky" recorded in the "Book of Earth Escape". If you think about its meaning carefully, it will inevitably make people a little creepy. However, what dilutes this sense of horror is the information Zhang Jiao obtained from it.
"[It doesn't matter]" "[It's up to you]" "[As long as you're happy]" This was the answer that gained the most after he talked about the current situation. The "South China Fairy" seemed to have been busy with something and not
There is no time to talk to him.
When he was still developing in Jizhou, Zhang Jiao was quite puzzled by this. It was not until his power gradually penetrated into other state capitals located on the border of the Han Dynasty that he suddenly realized that the fairy was busy saving more people from the aliens.
I don't care about this small Taoist sect that is developing peacefully in the mainland.
From the pre-Qin and Han dynasties to the new dynasty, alien invasion has always been a serious problem in the Central Plains. Although famous generals in the past dynasties have emerged in large numbers, they have never completely solved it. The scattered Great Wall built by Qin Shihuang in the north was not only not abandoned, but gradually
The fact that they are connected together and reinforced a lot is proof.
Therefore, in Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Liangzhou, the three state capitals bordering the Wuhuan, Xianbei, Xiongnu, Qiang and other foreign ethnic groups, the rangers were extremely active and focused on dealing with the foreign ethnic groups. Without the "South China Fairy"
"If he intervened, he would eat Jie'er's apricot-yellow flag!
As for that flag, it proves from the side that the South China Fairy actually doesn't care much about this place. After his daughter was born, he told the "South China Fairy" with the idea of showing off, but the fairy kept asking if her name was Zhang Ning, and learned that her name was Zhang Ning.
After naming her "Jie", she was silent for a long time and gave her a small apricot-yellow flag.
There was usually nothing magical about the flag, and its origin could not be found in the heavenly book, so it was kept next to the altar. Until one day, it suddenly lit up with golden lotuses, shot straight through the air, and left Julu City outside the city.
Rescued Zhang Jie who accidentally fell into the water while playing - no, Qi Zi caught the little girl the moment before she touched the water.
Only then did Zhang Jiao realize that it was actually a protective magic weapon given to his daughter... But why did the Nanxian Staff only have the function of an amplifying spell!
After this incident, my daughter fell in love with the flag and kept it with her at all times. She also learned many spells without any instruction from Zhang Jiao... Well, if she wanted to eat the flag before, she could consider it.
Taken back.
"Brother!" "Brother!" Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang walked into the quiet room and saluted Zhang Jiao with clasped fists, interrupting his meditation.
"Brother, you're welcome," Zhang Jiao waved his hand: "Is there any new news coming from various places?"
After years of growth, these two younger brothers have become reliable young people who can take charge of their own business. They are no longer chubby and skinny. They have also taken on the responsibility of promoting talisman water and elixirs. So far, they are doing very well.
"Jingyang and Yangzhou are full of waterways and have very high requirements for the water at the entrance, so Fu Shui is considered completely undrinkable," Zhang Liang said. "However, 'Jiuhua Yulu Pills' are quite popular. As for Jiaozhi, the journey is too far.
No news has come back from those who went to preach.”
"Contrary to the south, the three states of Liang and You have always had demons and deceivers. The finished product 'Nine Flower Gyokuro Pills' was not very popular, but the immediate effect of Fu Shui was well received after it was verified to be effective. And due to more wars, emergency
There have been a lot of additional orders, and Qing Niujiao said that if he doesn't send people to support him, he will raise the price." Zhang Bao showed his hands to his two brothers.
The original name of Qingniujiao was Zhang Niujiao, but due to a name conflict with Zhang Jiao, the name was changed after several confusions.
"I know you want to expand production, but this is not feasible for the time being." Zhang Jiao looked at his two younger brothers and shook his head slightly: "Not to mention that we don't have enough people to draw effective talismans or refine elixirs.
The materials required for alchemy are also artificially restricted."
"Who limits? Those charlatans? Haha!" Zhang Liang laughed.
"Shi Chang Attendant." Zhang Jiao said a word, which instantly made the expressions of the two younger brothers become serious.
Not only did this group of people hold imperial power to a certain extent, but there was also a master who was the best in the world behind them. Although that person had not made a move for several years, the weight of the word "Wang Yue" was there.
"Brother, I told you that there are two immortals who will try their best to oppose us. They are named Zuo Ci and Yu Ji." Zhang Jiao said.
Since what Taiping Dao itself did was close to immortality, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao had no objections to it.
"Because we are doing the work of curing diseases and saving people, they dare not stop it directly, otherwise they will be punished by heaven, but they can block it through mortal forces." Zhang Jiao continued: "Zuo Ci has a disciple named Ge Xuan, who now lives in Luoyang.
, was proficient in the art of alchemy. He invented an elixir that could make people fall into a dream-like state, called 'Five Stone Powder', which was deeply loved by the emperor. He claimed that the things needed for refining included the preparation
All materials of Fu Shui and 'Nine Flowers Yulu Pills'."
"So, in order to please the emperor, Shi Changshi bought all the materials on the market?" Zhang Liang snorted coldly.
"No, at least they can't buy all the water in the world." Zhang Bao said with a smile.
"Since the emperor and the 'Ten Permanent Attendants' are almost impossible to be injured, our quick healing tools are of no use to them," Zhang Jiao said, "My brother has sent Yuan Yi to Luoyang to try to recruit some money-grubbing Ten
I would like to give you a gift to recover some material channels."
"..." Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao looked at each other.
"What? Are you worried that Yuan Yi can't do this well?" Zhang Jiao raised his eyebrows: "Among the many second-generation disciples of Taiping Dao, he is the only one who knows how to change things. Even if he is made things difficult by the eunuchs, there is absolutely no possibility of conflict."
"Brother, have you noticed that Yuan Yi is not only the best at adapting to changes, but he is also the most handsome among your disciples?" Zhang Liang said.
"Brother, when we came to see you, Xiao Jie'er didn't come to greet you - how long has it been since you last seen her?" Zhang Bao said.
"Oops!" Zhang Jiao stood up suddenly, ran out of the quiet room in a few steps, and then hurried away.
"Do you think the eldest brother is worried about Jie'er's safety, or is he worried about her getting closer to Yuanyi?" Zhang Liang smiled at Zhang Bao.
"Both?" Zhang Bao spread his hands.
"Tang Zhou? Tang Zhou?" Zhang Jiao's voice came from far away: "If you have nothing to do, go to Luoyang and bring Jie'er and your senior brother back safely!"
