I searched for corpses in the Wuding River to extract entries

As the scholar's words fell, Xie Que saw the world before him crumbling and disintegrating like a sand castle.

In the sixth year of Jinglong's reign, the emperor was addicted to pleasure and became incompetent and corrupt.

In the court, eunuchs firmly control the government.

Outside the court, the general public was suffering even more. The wealthy and powerful families greedily swallowed up most of the wealth, making life difficult for the common people.

Not only that, the borders of the country were also in flames.

Barbarian tribes in the south often invaded, and the horns of the Qiang invasion in the north often sounded.

All of this plunged the entire Da Cai Dynasty into unprecedented turmoil and unrest.

The suffering of the people has reached a point beyond words.

In order to survive, people even stripped the bark off the elm trees and dug up all the grass roots. There was even a tragic scene of people eating their own children.

Even among the nobles in the upper class, many people regard cannibalism as a kind of abnormal hobby.

This is undoubtedly another severe blow to the society that is already riddled with holes.

In this absurd and unruly era, in the remote and peaceful countryside of Suyang County,

Xie San witnessed with his own eyes how the gentry's servants brutally broke his legs and wantonly abducted his wife and daughter one by one.

The main culprit for all this was the meager rent that he had not paid back for three years.

As a tenant of the Zhang family, Xie San could still barely scrape together the heavy rent to support his family in the past few years.

In the past few years, even though God had been kind and blessed them with bumper harvests year after year, the meager harvests were barely enough to support their family's livelihood.

Faced with this endless despair and pain, Xie San felt an indescribable grief and indignation in his heart.

His hands were shaking, and he was about to cut his wrists to end this miserable life.

At this critical moment of life and death, his eyes unexpectedly fell on a booklet abandoned on the ground.

Logically speaking, an illiterate farmer like Xie San should not be able to understand the words in the booklet.

But strangely, at this moment he could clearly recognize the handwriting in the booklet.

"The world belongs to all..."

He murmured the first sentence in the booklet, and suddenly an indescribable excitement surged in his heart.

At that moment, he seemed to feel that his broken legs were no longer painful.
It was as if I had lost consciousness, leaving only the burning blood in my heart.

He couldn't wait to open the booklet and greedily read the theories explained therein.

This passionate and inspiring thought instantly ignited the fire in his heart.

"In a world of great harmony, everyone is fully and freely..."

"The people are prosperous, and everyone is virtuous. Everyone is like a saint, doing their best..."

"The principle of distribution of needs, orderly and free association of workers..."

"In this land, everyone has no worries and can do whatever they like, which is for the people..."

“…This is called Great Harmony!”

When Xie San carefully flipped through the booklet page by page until the end, he couldn't help feeling a sense of wanting more.

The cruelty of reality made him sigh helplessly: "Alas, it's a pity that I, Xie San, will never see such an ideal and beautiful world in this lifetime."

Just as he was immersed in endless regret and sorrow, a golden light suddenly and silently entered his body.

At that moment, Xie San clearly felt that this warmth not only instantly healed all the pain in his body, but also filled his originally blank mind with
There appeared a Taoist method called "The Scripture of Dragons and Snakes Ringing the World" and a book of martial arts called "The Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Power".

"How is this going?"

Xie San simply couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes.

After being shocked, he quickly adjusted his mentality.

Xie San thought to himself: "The appearance of this heavenly book and these two extraordinary skills must have some special mission."

"Perhaps it is to enable me to change this corrupt court and transform it into the ideal world of great harmony described in the Book of Heaven!"

Thinking of this, hope ignited in Xie San's heart, as if he had seen the dawn of the future.

On this day, at midnight, when the moonlight spread across the earth like water,

Xie Sanhuai lied that he had found a way to solve this year's rent problem, and used this as an excuse to quickly and secretly gather together those tenants under the Zhang family's rule who were also suffering from oppression.

In the darkness of the night, Xie San took a deep breath and told his fellow brothers and sisters everything he had learned from the Heavenly Book, word by word and without reservation.

However, what he didn't expect was that these fellow villagers simply sneered at what he said.

Some people even told Xie San that he must be suffering from hysteria to say such ridiculous things.

What made Xie San even more heartbroken was that a fellow villager sneaked out and informed the Zhang family of the matter.

After hearing the noise, the servants of the Zhang family rushed to Xie San's courtyard like vicious wolves, ready to beat him to death on the spot.

Faced with this sudden change, Xie San knew that he had no way out.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and beat to death all those arrogant and domineering Zhang family slaves with the "Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Power" that he had just acquired.

Afterwards, Xie San, filled with anger and determination for revenge, resolutely rushed into Zhang's house, vowing to get back his innocent wife and daughter.

However, when he stepped into the Zhang family's gate, he was shocked to hear the bad news.
His wife had been raped to death by those servants who were worse than beasts, and his daughter had long been abducted by them to a brothel in the city, and her life or death was unknown.

In extreme anger, Xie San lost his mind and killed all the members of the Zhang family, young and old, leaving no one alive.

As the anger gradually subsided, Xie San also began to calm down.

He took a deep breath and began to reflect on his behavior.

He understood that these tenants were ordinary peasants who were ignorant of etiquette and writing.
Their entire lives are tied to this land, struggling for a living.

Instilling the concepts in the heavenly book into their minds is like playing the lute to a cow, which will not resonate with them or cause them to understand.

Thinking of this, a new determination surged in Xie San's heart.

He realized that if he wanted to find like-minded people, he must first look for those who read books.

Because only they can truly understand the mysteries of the heavenly book.

Xie San understood the key points and had a plan in mind.

So he took advantage of the cover of night and rode quietly to Suyang County.

After arriving in the city, Xie San, with the generous amount of money he received from the Zhang family, blended into a group of scholars as a scholar.

He knew that these scholars might be the key to his spreading the ideas of the Heavenly Book and finding like-minded partners.

During the time he spent with these scholars, Xie San gradually gained their trust.

After he felt that he had become familiar with these scholars, he told them the contents of the heavenly book. He thought that these scholars would be able to understand and accept his ideas.

To his disappointment, the results were not what he had hoped for.

After hearing this, these scholars were all shocked and thought that what Xie San said was simply treasonous and far from the etiquette system promoted today.

They even wanted to send Xie San to the officialdom as a warning to others.

Xie San did not choose violent resistance, but chose to leave.

He knew very well that the world had been poisoned by the idea of ​​respecting superiors and inferiors and the order of seniority for too many years, and changing this would not be achieved overnight.

But he also firmly believed that one day he would be able to find a partner and together they would create the world of great harmony described in the Book of Heaven.

After careful consideration, Xie San finally chose a remote and quiet village as his home.

He shaved off all his hair with his own hands, transformed himself into an ascetic monk, and began to treat the villagers' injuries free of charge.

Xie San calls himself the messenger of "Datong Bodhisattva" on earth, and comes specifically to bring equality and happiness to these simple farmers.

In the blink of an eye, the spring of the seventh year of Jinglong arrived quietly.

In this season full of vitality and hope, Xie San has gathered a group of unwavering believers in the village.

Among them, there are old men and young warriors.

Even those country gentry who usually looked high and mighty were "moved" by him and joined his ranks.

Xie San knew very well that this was just the beginning.

He felt that it was time to lead the villagers out of this isolated village and sow the seeds of faith to a wider land.

They came to the nearest county town in a mighty procession and began to spread the beliefs and ideas of "Datong Bodhisattva" there.

Initially, their efforts did not receive the response they deserved and the effect was minimal.

What's worse, their activities attracted the attention of local authorities.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Xie San took the initiative to surrender to the government and admitted that he had killed 17 households of the Zhang family in revenge.

As expected, the government mercilessly sentenced Xie San to death.

It was decided to carry out the beheading at noon that day in the busy Caishikou area.

As the executioner raised his knife, Xie San's head was instantly separated from his body, and blood splattered everywhere.

After this thrilling moment, Xie San's head quickly returned to his neck within a few seconds.

What was even more shocking was that the wound that was supposed to be fatal healed in an instant, as if he had never been hurt.

Such an effect immediately terrified the countless people watching. They talked about it one after another and could not believe what was happening before their eyes.

But Xie San just smiled indifferently and declared that he was a believer of Datong Bodhisattva and came here to bring true happiness and equality to the people.

He also said that Datong Bodhisattva is the most supreme Buddha among all the Buddhas and that everyone should believe in Datong Bodhisattva.

And according to the Buddhist theory, "all things are equal", even women should be equal to men.
And everyone should strive for the ideal of "one world, one family, sharing peace".

At this point, Xie San had completely established his foothold in the county because of his miracles.

Not only that, many people who could not survive chose to join them that day.
Seeing that food would be distributed as soon as they joined, more poor people also took the initiative to join in.

The Datong Sect was established amid the support of the crowd, and they all unanimously accepted Xie San as the leader.

Relying on Xie San's extraordinary power, as well as the Taoism and martial arts he passed down, the Datong Sect was like a tiger with wings, and was unstoppable.

They quickly captured the county town and achieved initial victory.

However, this was just the beginning. In the next three months, the entire Suyang County fell into the hands of the Datong Sect like a rotten wood.

However, the sudden arrival of power is often accompanied by endless temptations and tests.

As soon as they conquered a city, signs of corruption and degeneration began to appear within the Datong Sect.

The food that should have been distributed to the people to solve their urgent problems was secretly transported out of the city by the deputy leader appointed by Xie San himself, and exchanged for gold, silver and treasures to satisfy his personal desires.

What is more serious is that many monk soldiers took advantage of this opportunity and, under the guise of Datong Sect, acted rampant in the city, bullying men and women and committing all kinds of evil.

Their actions seriously violated the original intention and beliefs of Datong Religion, and also caused the people to have deep doubts and fears about Datong Religion.

However, Xie Sanxiu had obtained the Dragon Snake Ringing the World Sutra, and his soul was so powerful that it could more than cover the entire Suyang County.

Any trace of depravity and corruption could not escape his eyes.

At a rally, Xie San personally killed the corrupt and decadent high-ranking members of the Datong Sect one by one to serve as a warning to others.

His action not only cleared up the unhealthy tendencies within the Datong Sect, but also made the people see hope and future for the Datong Sect again.

In the ninth year of Jinglong's reign, the Datong Sect was not in a hurry to expand its territory outward.

Xie San was a man of foresight. He planned to influence the local people subtly with the power of his thoughts.

When the time is ripe, these people will take the initiative to open the city gates and welcome the arrival of Datong Sect, just like welcoming a long-awaited rain.

However, things did not develop as he wished.

The many aristocratic families in the Jiangnan region, as well as the monks they kept at home, became a huge obstacle to the spread of the teachings of the Datong Sect.

The power of these aristocratic families was so huge and deeply rooted that the teachings of Datong Sect were like being pressed down by a huge rock, making it impossible to spread effectively.

Xie San's original idea thus became nonsense.

Xie San has been practicing silently in the past two years.

He successfully cultivated the Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Power to the first level of "Yuanxiang", and the Dragon Snake Ringing the World Sutra was only one step away from reaching the threshold of entering the Dao.

So Xie San gathered his own team of monk soldiers.

Although this team only has 3,000 people, each of them is an elite soldier selected by him personally.

He bestowed a thought containing the power of Yuan Xiang on each of the monks.
Let them take this power and send troops towards the locations of many aristocratic families in Jiangnan.

Soon, under the absolute power of these monk soldiers, those children of noble families who had originally been tough all became weak.

After all, no matter how powerful the priest in their family is, he is no match for these monk soldiers.

Under the strong oppression of the monk soldiers, they had to quickly cooperate with the Datong Sect, began to spread the teachings of the Datong Sect on the streets, and took the initiative to welcome the Datong Sect into the city.

The reason why the noble families surrendered voluntarily was very simple: they wanted to keep their family wealth.

However, Xie San was ruthless and impartial. Although he did not kill anyone,
However, all the wealth was gathered together and sealed, and all the food was evenly distributed to every citizen.

Such policies made the people full of gratitude and admiration for Datong Religion.

Relying on such a policy and Xie San's absolute strength,
The teachings of the Datong Sect spread rapidly throughout the Dacai Dynasty like wildfire. (End of this chapter)
