Huang Yidao believed that this messenger was the incarnation of the Emperor of Heaven and his spokesperson walking in the world.
Therefore, except for this messenger, all other gods, whether the court admits it or not, are evil gods!
It was precisely for this reason that the Yellow Clothes Sect's uprising was quickly suppressed due to public outrage.
However, now that the Yellow Clothes Sect has revived, it seems to have learned a little wiser. It no longer targets the gods worshiped by the gods, but competes for territory with the evil gods worshiped by the prostitutes!
"Would you like to go over and take a look?" Tao Xiaowu asked tentatively.
Zhong Yu shook his head and said, "It's important to be on your way, so don't make things extra complicated!"
Tao Xiaowu nodded when he heard this, and his group of people immediately bypassed the two groups of people and continued on the road.
But he never expected that after this incident, more and more people would see the Yellow Clothes Sect along the way.
It seems that we have entered the scope of activities of the Yellow Clothes Sect, and the further we go, the more powerful the Yellow Clothes Sect becomes.
In the beginning, it was still a peripheral area, where the Yellow Clothes Sect and those who worshiped evil gods competed for territory.
As we gradually arrived at the core area of the Yellow Clothes Sect, we saw that their power was getting stronger and stronger.
In some places, there is even a Yellow Clothes Sect that gathers people during the day to preach in the city.
The government paid no attention to it, and some even participated directly and personally.
This made Tao Xiaowu secretly frightened. It seemed that the Yellow Clothes Sect was expanding too fast!
"The plague was discovered in various places in Zhongzhou the year before last. The great master of the Yellow Clothes Sect went deep into the epidemic area and used talisman water to treat the disease. No one was left alive. People everywhere respected it, so the Yellow Clothes Sect became popular all over the world."
Zhong Yu gave Tao Xiaowu a little explanation.
Tao Xiaowu suddenly realized that at that time, he had not traveled through time yet, and the plague had not spread to Heng County.
It was just after the plague that he traveled through time and came to this world.
It was precisely because of this that the number of refugees increased dramatically during that period, and Tao Xiaowu was driven back and forth, unable to even enter the city!
Zhong You pointed to the direction they passed when they came and said, "Did you see the mass graves we passed when we came?"
Tao Xiaowu nodded slightly, and Zhong You said: "This area was the worst affected by the plague. Many villages were wiped out at that time, and they have not recovered yet!"
Tao Xiaowu was secretly frightened when he heard these words. He remembered that when he read history books in his original world, he would often write down the words: Millions of people died during the great epidemic.
When I was reading the book, I didn’t have a deep understanding of this.
However, being in such an environment at this moment, I couldn't help but feel a creepy feeling.
However, Tao Xiaowu then raised a question: "There are so many gods in the world, as well as Confucian scholars, Qi practitioners, and alchemists. Is it possible that there is no way to deal with the plague? How can it be spread so widely?"
Zhong You glanced at Tao Xiaowu lightly and said, "Where do you think these plagues come from?"
Where did the plague come from? Viruses, of course
No, at least not in this world.
And Zhong You said this sentence smoothly, could it be that
"That's right, there are ghosts and gods spreading it!" Zhong You sneered.
"What kind of ghosts and gods are so bold?" Tao Xiaowu's hair stood on end: "Is there no one to take care of it?"
"Control, how to control? Those with epidemic qi, the evil qi of heaven and earth accumulate.
As long as there is injustice in the world, this plague will never be eradicated.
In addition, some ghosts and gods are causing trouble in it. There are also some ghosts, gods and wizards from outside the Great Wall, which makes the matter very complicated!"
Zhong You shook his head and said.
Tao Xiaowu remained silent. He had not been wandering for too long, and he was still in the peaceful places near Heng County. Later, he went directly to Wuli and the Hou Mansion, and he did not care much about the outside world.
Therefore, there is no perceptual understanding of the overall situation of the world.
However, now, heading all the way to Shenluo, it feels like an eye-opener.
No matter how you look at it, this world has a precarious flavor!
That night, the group almost missed Sutou
It was because although this road was already the heartland of the imperial court, a plague had just occurred the year before last, resulting in too many deaths. In many places, the fields were depressed and the population was sparsely populated.
It was almost nightfall when they passed by a pavilion.
Today's world is just like the Qin and Han Dynasties in the original world. There are probably one hundred households per li, one pavilion for ten li, and one township for ten pavilions.
However, this is not actually the case.
Just do the math and you will know that this is impossible.
In ancient times, a county was considered a large county if it had more than 10,000 people.
And based on the calculation of five people in a family, this is the household registration standard in this era. A family of three is definitely an only child.
One hundred households in one mile is five hundred people. One pavilion in ten miles is five thousand people. Ten pavilions and one township, how many people should be in this township?
So how many townships are there in a county?
In this era, the world's population is only between 50 and 60 million, with more than 10 million households.
Therefore, the pavilion should not be an administrative unit, but a complex that has jurisdiction over public security and postal services, and even functions as a post station and inn!
For example, Tao Xiaowu and others traveled all the way and basically stayed in these pavilions at night.
Because in this era, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the roads are rough, and there are many thieves and wild beasts.
Therefore, pedestrians and business travelers generally camp in the pavilion at night.
It is no better than the inns of later generations, which only serve to receive officials.
The booth here also accepts business travelers, but they seem to have to pay a fee.
Tao Xiaowu and others pretended to be business travelers and had to pay for accommodation along the way.
However, that night, it was almost nightfall before we arrived near a pavilion.
Logically speaking, at such a late hour, the pavilion would have already been closed and settled in for sleep.
However, when they arrived at this pavilion, they saw that the place was brightly lit, and at least thousands of people had gathered, lighting fires and holding torches, as if they were having a party.
"Are you having a banquet?" Zhong You was a little curious.
In this era, it is not a normal thing for so many people to suddenly gather at night.
As soon as it gets dark, ordinary people basically go to bed.
Secondly, it is dangerous at night. Even if there is a banquet in the village community, it is always in the village protected by an inner wall. How could it be in a place like this?
It immediately makes people feel alert!
Could it be that bandits gathered to attack the pavilion? Or was it something else?
But seeing those people wearing yellow scarves made them feel at ease.
It turned out that a great immortal master went to the countryside to teach the Dharma and explain the scriptures to the followers of the Huangyi Sect. This attracted so many people to gather in the pavilion at night to listen to the lecture.
"He is actually a great immortal master." Zhong You looked slightly moved.
The Yellow Clothes Sect has a strict organization and the relationship between superiors and subordinates is very strict.
In addition to ordinary believers, clergy are divided into wise masters, holy masters, Taoist masters, immortal masters, true masters, and divine masters.
