Chapter 359: Do You Understand the Value of the Top Streams of the Eastern Han Dynasty (First Update)
Mo Hao obviously didn't want to talk to others about how complicated the factors in his mind were, so he quickly changed the subject, "What exactly do you mean by [Six Heavens Ancient Qi]?"

Mo Hao knew something about the Taoist "Six Heavenly Qi", but he was not sure whether what he knew was the same thing as Zhang Jiao.

"Generally speaking, it refers to gods that require blood sacrifices. But if you ask the one-eyed man from before, I can say with certainty that it is not as simple as eating blood. It is cannibalism."

Mo Hao rubbed his temple vigorously, pointed at the fire burning outside the window and said, "So that means, in this modern environment similar to the one after World War I, I not only have to consider how to go to the beer hall and give passionate speeches to trick people into wearing yellow scarves, but also how to lead people to survive, and even have to fight against the man-eating evil god?"

The people in Taixu Realm are generally targeting him, so for Mo Hao, nothing is surprising.

But it does not mean that when Mo Hao encounters Taixu Realm's targeting, he will not complain, especially when he has some kind of mission target.

However, Zhang Jiao shook his head and did not agree with what Mo Hao said.

"There is no need to trick people into wearing the Yellow Turban. As long as people still have a chance to survive, no one will be willing to wear the Yellow Turban. Those who wear the Yellow Turban have already lost their chance to survive and need to fight and carve out a way to survive."

"As for the man-eating evil gods, the Taiping Dao also has some means of cutting down mountains and destroying temples."

"So all you need to do is to find a way to keep others alive and keep many, many people alive."

To survive with others, or to survive with many, many people.

This kind of task is much more difficult than giving a speech or confronting a man-eating evil god.

If he had a choice, Mo Hao would rather fight a strong enemy directly than take on such a job.

He is neither good at protecting nor leading people to survive.

"Tell me what you know about that man-eating evil god."

Zhang Jue lowered his head slightly, as if searching his mind for relevant memories and knowledge. "The one-eye is outside the human world and cannot directly interfere in human affairs. It can only act through the statues and believers."

"And the one-eyed statue that you struck with your lightning curse just happened to be the one that was struck by you. It's different from ordinary statues because it has been used for sacrifices. The former is at most an ear and eye, while the latter can be regarded as an arm that can reach into the world."

Very good, I just cut off the arm of a one-eyed evil god in the human world.

No matter from which angle you look at it, this feud is huge.

“How many statues of gods have been used for sacrifices?”

"I don't know, but even gods wouldn't have too many of those things. Even gods have to pay a price to make them, and the process is very complicated."

There are not many statues that can be used as [arms], which is somewhat good news for Mo Hao.

At the same time, this is also bad news. One of the few statues of gods was destroyed by Mo Hao. No matter how you look at it, he should be on the evil god's blacklist.

"That is to say, if I kill all the followers of the evil god, destroy all the statues, and erase any related books and records..."

"Then it will not be able to interfere with the human world, unless someone's soul is very compatible with it, and in desperation prays for the gods' attention, but the probability of that is very small." Zhang Jue explained, "Even if you encounter such things while felling mountains and destroying temples, they are rare and can be ignored."

Mo Hao pondered for a while, then asked, "What are the methods of Taiping Dao to cut down mountains and destroy temples? I may need to use them soon."

There are very few statues that can serve as arms for the evil god, which means it is a precious thing.

However, Mo Hao encountered that precious statue in a warehouse full of grain.

Mo Hao received the news accidentally when he was painting on the street. An unscrupulous businessman was colluding with officials to prevent grain from entering the market so quickly.

Looking at the whole thing together, the hoarding and artificially creating food shortages were instigated by the evil god. Add to that the words I heard when I entered the Great Void Realm...

[The explosion of productivity has spread extraordinary power to the whole world. ]

[The mystery that once disappeared with the discovery of the New World has now returned to the world. 】

[The country has developed by leaps and bounds, and military, authoritarianism, and monopoly have become the mainstream of the world. ]

[The emerging countries are no longer satisfied with the blue sky and demand a redistribution of the world. ]

[The war to end all wars has begun. With the help of the returning mysterious, the old empire has won a complete victory and the madman has received the punishment he deserves.]

This time, the defeat of the [Leinigman Empire] not only suffered the harvest from the victorious country, but the mysterious side also began to wield the sickle and reap a large amount of benefits.

Judging from this situation, if Mo Hao intends to raise the Yellow Turban Army, he will inevitably suffer attacks from both the country and the mysterious forces.

When you think about it this way, it doesn’t seem to be a big deal.

After all, rebellion can be done by a country or a group of countries, and it is not impossible to add some gods or something.

If you have too many lice, you won’t be itchy. If you have too many debts, you won’t have to worry.

It just means leading a group of people who can't survive to seek survival, so there is actually no essential difference whether there are three or four mountains blocking the way ahead.

As if he was a little curious about Mo Hao's approach, Zhang Jiao couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do?"

Hearing this question, Mo Hao looked at Zhang Jiao in surprise, "Casting talisman water, gathering people, these are all things you have done."

Zhang Jue's deeds have been passed down for 1,800 years, telling people again and again that when you can't survive, there is still a way to go.

He tied a yellow scarf and went to the court to ask for a way to live.

Beg for it with the knife in your hand!

Although this method may have more or fewer steps due to changes in the times and the development of productivity, the general approach is basically the same.

"It's not enough to rely on refugees alone." Zhang Jue said calmly, "Even for me, the development of Taiping Dao was not possible without the help of some people."

Mo Hao nodded. He naturally knew that the great and virtuous teacher who was the most popular among the people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty could attract countless people suffering from the plague to sell their property and come to him for help.

Donations from all walks of life were innumerable. The Taiping Dao not only had a large number of believers among princes and nobles, but also many high-ranking eunuchs around Emperor Ling of Han believed in it.

The influence of the top stars in the Eastern Han Dynasty can be said to have reached all levels of society.

At the same time, it also gave everyone in later generations a detailed and complete plan of rebellion.

With a plan, the next step is to organize it.

"So it was Zhang Jue who appeared in front of the refugees and gave them talismans and water to heal their illnesses."

"And Mo Hao will give a passionate speech in the beer hall."
