The third one who came in was an old man dressed in a national costume, with a feather crown on his head and a special costume belonging to the mountain people, which was the costume of the sacrificial host on the mountain people's side.

"Meet Lord Wang, I am from Shanzhou Mansion and have come to preach and establish a religion."

The priest performed a religious ritual in front of Wang Lanling, and then looked at Wang Lanling.

These religious people do not reject the rules of the imperial court, and they will abide by the etiquette that should be followed, even if it does not conform to their rules.

Those who don't understand the rules are long dead.

The imperial court allowed the four major religions to spread in the empire, and it was through screening that these four powerful and rule-abiding schools were found from various sects.

Their main role is to gather some people who are prone to believing in religion and not to allow those people to join other crooked religions.

Many religions are insane and detrimental to the stability of the rulers and the people.

Don't look at the people of these four schools are usually quite regular, but when it comes to suppressing the rest of the infidels, they are ruthless!

Religion has always been suppressed and often propped up, and the reasons for this are complex and multifaceted.

As long as there is weakness in the human heart, religion has the soil for existence, and we cannot expect that all of these billions of imperial people are saints.

Even if these four schools are gone, the people will establish the rest of the schools on their own, but it is inconvenient to supervise.

Buddhism and Taoism were suppressed a bit harshly, so the desire to expand was not strong, and most monks and Taoists were stable and wanted to make money to live.

The main reason is that these two sects and the martial arts sect are a little deeply bound, after the minions of the forces were cut off, of course they knew that it hurt, and now they honestly do not have the arrogance of the southern monks and the northern way a hundred years ago.

The Divine Religion is different, this sect is growing savagely in many places, enriching the local humanistic mythology.

For example, the worship of the dragon king on March 4 and the mountain god sacrifice after Xiaoxue are inseparable from the shadow of religion.

Most places have the existence of gods, but the scale is different.

It is not just a place where there are many people, and only people can be sent to establish a religion and preach in a large number of places.

In the past, Shanhai County did not have that kind of opportunity, but now because Wang Lanling is famous all over the world, coupled with the gradual surplus of Shanhai County, some people are eyeing this piece of fat.

The rules of the Divine Cult are different from those of other schools, and not only the gods enshrined in each place are different, but even the relationship between superiors and subordinates is also different.

If a priest goes to a new place to preach, then that place is his territory, and he cannot go anywhere else, and all religious problems in this place are under his control.

Regardless of the level of priesthood he had before, after becoming a high priest in a place, he had a colleague relationship with the principals in other places, and there was no strict distinction between superior and inferior.

In other words, the priest in front of Wang Lanling was alone, or brought him to establish the foundation.

Wang Lanling is not against this kind of thing, there are more people who want to come to his territory to make money and live a good life, and this group of people is not bad.

"Please sit down, the priest has been here for a while, I have something to do outside, before the priest comes to see me, do you know anything about Shanhai County this time?"

Wang Lanling motioned for the man to sit down and speak, he did not support religion, but he did not object to it either.

After all, there are rules in religion, such as not smoking, drinking, and playing with women, and some people want to believe that it is always a good thing.

Wang Lanling must not be able to control his subordinates drinking and smoking, there are too many things he can't control, and the rules in some small places are indeed not suitable for him to enforce and restrict.

Authority cannot be abused, Wang Lanling used an IOU once when he was in Heishui County, and he didn't use it again.

Wang Lanling couldn't control the use of IOUs by officials in other places, and he couldn't do anything about the credit that collapsed in the end.

After Wang Lanling controlled the water, in fact, some people all over the country used the trick of IOUs, just expecting these people who were promoted after a few years of official status to fill the gap, which was unreasonable.

Don't say you don't have money, even if you have money, you won't pay it back, anyway, after patting your ass and leaving, it's all left to the next one.

This is the case with IOUs, and the use of collective power is also like this, and too much restraint on the people below will also cause some trouble.

Wang Lanling will only use authority on key mistakes, like some small places, what is needed is correct guidance.

Whichever school of doctrine can coexist with Wang Lanling, Wang Lanling will use whichever one.

"Thank you, sir." The priest sat down on the chair that had been brought to him.

After sitting down, the priest said to Wang Lanling: "When I was in Shanzhou, I often heard the deeds of Lord Wang, and your deeds have been praised everywhere, I see that there is nothing lacking in this Shanhai County, the only thing missing is a temple." ”

There is no need for Wang Lanling to ask himself, the priest himself will tell the future plan.

Quite simply, it is to establish a divine religion with Wang Lanling as the main body.

The religions of this era did not dare to bully the imperial power and the regime, and their current thinking was the same as that of the merchants ten years ago, with the same unassuming and cautious expectations.

The priest directly preached in the capacity of doing things and serving Wang Lanling, and all he wanted was to quickly gather believers through Wang Lanling's prestige.

In this Shanhai County, Wang Lanling's reputation is in full swing, and it is difficult for Buddhism, Taoism, and the Divine Religion to open up the situation, and only the Divine Religion with Wang Lanling as the main religion can quickly open the situation and win the support of the broad masses of the people.

Once they are out of Wang Lanling's control, without Wang Lanling's skin, then the rest of the gods established by the Divine Cult will not be able to fight, and they will not be able to make the common people feel very powerful.

Even if you pull out the ancestral god, people don't believe it.

It's like he's more powerful than anyone's gods.,These are meaningless.,The most widely used audience is still the God of Wealth who isn't powerful at all.。

And Wang Lanling's reputation is too powerful, what kind of feng shui and fire god is established here, or the god of war, the god of guards, the god of the dragon king, etc., people will think that they worship this person who has not knelt down to Wang Lanling to take charge.

There is really no soil to create a god out of thin air, so the safest way is to use Wang Lanling's reputation to do things, which is the wealth code of the entire Muzhou.

Wang Lanling shook his head, "Forget about this kind of thing, I don't want to be deified, it's too tiring." ”

The priest quickly said: "My lord is not more modest, your affairs are enough to publish a book alone." ”

Wang Lanling said seriously: "Don't mention this, not only do I not like it or not, but also if I have to abide by the rules and bow down to me as a god, where is the majesty of the court?" Don't talk about it again, just talk about what you're going to do in the future. ”

The priest was stunned for a moment, he swallowed in embarrassment, and said with difficulty: "This...... It's hard to explain for a moment. ”

He only thought about using Wang Lanling's prestige to establish a religion with local characteristics, and he didn't think about Wang Lanling's unwillingness to be this leader.

It's not that he thinks less, it's just that the existence of Wang Lanling is too suitable for being a god, all he thinks about is the development and planning on this line.

Wang Lanling did not directly issue an expulsion order, but after thinking about it, he said: "You can't lie in my name and deceive the people, but we do need some people here to resist and stabilize the disciples, you go back and think about it first, and then come to me after thinking about it." ”

Wang Lanling has a demand for the religion of God, and there is a Sun God Palace in Yanshan County next door, and Wang Lanling must establish a religion to break up the religion next door and absorb the serfs there.
