Chapter 508: Dao
After the monk left, the second person to come in was the Taoist priest.
An old Taoist, dressed very well, although he is dressed as a Taoist priest in his impression, he gives people a feeling of being a superior person who eats and drinks well.
"Meet the Marquis of Lanling, the Taoist in Fuyunguan in Xiatongzhou, the Taoist of the Taoist name."
The Divine Void Daoist politely greeted Wang Lanling, and stood there looking at Wang Lanling quietly.
Wang Lanling nodded and said: "The Taoist chief has also seen the monk who went out just now, I don't play dumb riddles with people, may I ask the Taoist chief, if I let the Taoist chief preach in the county, what will the Taoist chief do?" What will be done. ”
The Divine Void Daoist had already heard the previous conversation, and not only him, but the rest of the people were also able to hear the conversation in the conference room.
One reason is that the windows and doors are not closed, and the other reason is that these people are eavesdropping.
Shenxu Taoist has the monk's lesson, and at this time he said solemnly: "Taoism pays attention to quiet and inaction, doing nothing, doing nothing, not doing something, not doing something." ”
Wang Lanling's face turned cold, the first thing he hated was the middleman who made the difference, and the second thing he hated was the riddler.
Especially the longer I have been an official, the more I have to start speaking official language, and I am even more disgusted with those who don't speak human words.
As soon as the Divine Void Daoist saw Wang Lanling's face, he knew that something was wrong, and quickly corrected his words.
"Saving the dead and helping the wounded, guiding the maze, is also what we Taoist people will do, many people know that there are many dignitaries in the court who are Taoist believers."
The sects in this world are not as ruthless as they are suppressed, unless they are warrior monks who will be pressed to the ground and eat soil, and the rest of the religious people who only preach morality regardless of swords, guns and sticks can live.
Moreover, religion is more difficult to ban than martial arts, and it is very hidden, and it is more in demand than martial arts.
is different from the more modest Taoist priests in Wang Lanling's impression, after any religion becomes bigger, it will not be low-key and modest, which is an inevitable performance.
The martial arts people in Heishui County will be humble and respectful, but not because they are of high quality, but because of their low quality, they all die.
The four major religions of this world have not received too strict baptism, so their own rules and mentality are not so regular.
After all, Wang Lanling is Wang Lanling, and these people still know the rules in front of Wang Lanling.
The people who dare to kill the Jiang family are not the ones they can afford to provoke.
Wang Lanling listened carefully, and also thought about the words passed by the Divine Void Daoist.
Although Protestantism was the most popular sect among the emperor's relatives and officials, many things about Taoism were in line with the preferences of those who were superior.
Protestantism was supported by the prestige of the first emperor, but Taoism grew as a local force, and was favored by more and more people by virtue of its technology to cater to the superior people.
If there are many old women who believe in Buddhism, then there are many old men who believe in Taoism, and there are many young and middle-aged people who believe in Protestantism.
As for the Cult of God, there are many poor people.
Not to mention anything else, the immortality technique and alchemy of self-cultivation alone are enough to beat the various benefits of the rest of the sects!
Whether it is the first emperor or the current old emperor, or the previous emperors, they will basically often ask Taoist priests for health preservation techniques.
The main financiers of the Taoist priests were still the rich and the high-class, and this time they came to Shanhai County to preach, just to expand their influence.
Their main purpose is to make Wang Lanling religious, not to put their minds on the people at the bottom.
After listening to some of the explanations of the Divine Void Daoist, Wang Lanling said, "I understand. ”
"For Taoism, my most direct understanding is that when I was in Heishui County before, my wife bought incense from Yunzhou, lit it at home day and night, and also enshrined the porcelain statue of the Taoist aunt who sent her son."
Wang Lanling paused and continued: "No matter what, Taoism can be preached in the county below, but the rest of the sects are also legal organizations, and I also have to receive the two responsible persons and listen to their opinions." ”
Shenxu Daoist said calmly: "We are different from those monks, we don't pay attention to places and rules, it doesn't matter whether we believe or not, what matters is what we do, you don't know much about Taoism at the moment, maybe after in-depth understanding, you will know what Taoism is." ”
Wang Lanling's meaning is very simple, Taoism can preach in Shanhai County, but it is forbidden to preach to his family.
All the sects must abide by the rules here in Shanhai County, and Wang Lanling will also govern the missionaries according to the rules here!
Everyone is a riddler.
Wang Lanling thought about it, he knew very well that Taoism could provide many benefits, but compared to the benefits, there were also a lot of disadvantages.
In general, Wang Lanling is still an oppositionist, and he prefers that everyone come together for a common belief, and pay for it, and strive to realize that belief.
But what happens when faith succeeds?
What if you can't do it?
People will always rest, and no one can see things that are too far away.
The sea of stars is simple, Wang Lanling feels that it is good to be able to see it before he dies.
But what should be done still has to be done, Wang Lanling does not allow religion to interfere too deeply, let alone allow these people to mobilize their families.
As for the so-called health preservation technique, in this era of martial arts and internal strength, you can only live to the age of eighty or ninety, which is a mistake in itself.
If medicine is developed, diet and equipment are improved, and with the blessing of internal strength, it is not difficult to live to the age of 90 at all.
The fact that the first emperor and the current emperor were able to live longer than the previous emperors was, in Wang Lanling's view, a progress in modern medicine, rather than a Taoist ability.
Eat less gold pill than anything else!
Wang Lanling would not persuade the emperor to eat less, and for most people in the world, this is not a good thing.
In the end, Wang Lanling still let people send off guests.
In fact, these four families can all preach, but if they want special treatment, they have to ask Wang Lanling if he is willing to do so.
In Shanhai County, the largest is still Wang Lanling.
Wang Lanling is afraid of these sects, in fact, there is another reason, that is, many of his subordinates are religious.
Although most people are not religious, they are a large part of the faith.
Whether it is the army, the common people and the bureaucracy, they are all radiated by these four main religions.
The supervision of these people by the imperial court mainly depends on the people.
When those in power have power in their hands, both corrupt officials and sects will be careful and careful.
When the power in the hands of those in power cannot be extended, it is a feast for officials and all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods.
There are actually no problems with many systems in the empire, and the problems are people.
In other words, the system is not good, and it cannot restrain people.
After sending off the Taoist priest, Wang Lanling waited for the person in charge of the Divine Sect.
The earth, wind, water and fire are worshipped, and some ancient literati and military generals will also be deified in the Divine Religion and become the guardian gods of the place.
There are millions of gods in the Cult of God, and it is constantly expanding.
Wang Lanling, after death, he will definitely be a god!
