"Your Excellency, the Pope of the Cult of the Sky God, Dadamon invited you to gather, what do you mean?"

"I'm tired. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

............

"Your Excellency, Pope of the Living Spirit Sect, Ogudak wants to have a face-to-face, heart-to-heart exchange with you, you see?"

"I'm tired. ”

............

"Your Excellency, the Pope of the Cult of the Electric God, Dikachiel has come to visit the Xuandao Cathedral, I don't know?"

"I'm not here. ”

............

"Your Excellency, the Pope of the Cult of Mother Thunder, Babadar would like to invite you to visit their local sect, do you mean?"

"I'm in a panic. ”

............

"His Holiness the Pope......"

"Tell them I'm not available. ”

Looking at the group of congregants who were reporting back and forth in front of him, listening to the almost identical words, Rod only felt that his head was about to explode.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

What an incisive sentence this ancient sage said, since the miracle ceremony on the first anniversary of the founding of Taoism, Rhodes first opened the nine-story Taoist pagoda, then the Taoist ancestor manifested the incarnation of the gods, and finally ascended the throne in the holy realm, all of which has shocked everyone three times.

Just the day after the miracle ceremony, a bunch of popes sent invitations, and the number of invitations would have been even more terrifying if it had not been for the fact that the bishops and priests considered themselves too humble.

Of course, although they did not dare to invite Rhodes over, they were happy to visit these behaviors.

No, in just a few days, almost all of the sects that had been invited by the Mandate of Heaven Sect to observe the miracle rituals had come to visit or sent invitations.

At first, Rhodes would meet a few, after all, in order to consolidate the position of Taoism in this surrounding province, the work that should be done still had to be done, but later, Rhodes found that these people were all for the purpose of friendship, and they were all official clichés, but there were not many actual things.

So Rod didn't bother to bother, and directly said 'I'm not available' to refuse all invitations, of course, this also has the meaning of Rode's boredom.

"Yes, Your Excellency. ”

Hearing this, the congregants hurriedly nodded, not to mention Rod, they were already tired, these days, in order to deal with those enthusiastic popes and bishops, they have long been physically and mentally exhausted, and now Rod's words are completely refused, which makes them finally relieved.

"Da Da Da ......"

Just as they were about to reject the sects, a rush of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

"Knock, knock......"

Immediately, there were several knocks on the door.

"Go back, and tell them that I'm not available. ”

Rod shook his head helplessly and said towards the door.

"This ......"

The voice outside the door hesitated for a moment, and then said in a deep voice,

"Report to the Pope, it seems that this time I really can't be empty. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Rod's eyebrows furrowed, and after a moment of silence, he said,

"Then come in. ”

"Yes. ”

Pushing the door in, the person who came was not an ordinary sect member, but a member of the Taoist patriarch, Yi Ze.

At this time, although Izawa's expression was extremely flat, there was a hint of anxiety flashing in his eyes from time to time.

Looks like something's wrong......

Rhodes looked at the surrounding congregation, and then said,

"Alright, you guys go out first. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. ”

The congregants respectfully answered and exited the room.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"

Rod looked at Ize quietly for a moment before he said slowly.

"Your Excellency, someone has come from above. ”

Izawa waved his hand and said helplessly.

Someone from above?

Rod was slightly stunned, in Taoism, he is the Pope, one person is above ten thousand people, there is only the god Dao Ancestor above, and the Dao Ancestor is actually himself, how can there be people above?

"Pope, it's not what you think, I mean we're from the headquarters of the Imperial Sect Association in Auckland. ”

Seeing Rod's puzzled face, Izawa already knew that he was thinking crookedly, and explained to Rod.

"Someone from the headquarters of the Imperial Sect Association?"

Hearing this, Rod was stunned.

The sect association is in charge of the name of the entire Oakland Empire and the formulation of the rules of the religious world, and its power is not small, and it can indeed be regarded as the top of their Taoism in a certain sense, but why the headquarters of this sect association suddenly came, this made him a little puzzled.

After a pause, Rod seemed to remember something, and then frowned slightly,

"Could it be because of the Dalcos province?"

"Exactly. ”

Izawa smiled helplessly,

"In the province of Darcos, the Mandate of Heaven is the mainstay, and a small half of the religious circles claim to believe in Taoist ancestors and become branch churches of Taoism, which does not conform to the rules of the religious circles, so it ......"

After a pause, Izawa continued,

"The previous period of calm was due to the inability of the sectarian associations in Delin Province and Dalkos Province to intervene in this matter, or more precisely, they did not dare to provoke our Taoist sect at will, so they reported the situation to the headquarters. ”

"How many people came?"

Rod listened quietly, thought for a moment, and then said.

"There are about five people, but I heard that these five people are all big names in the sect association, and their strength and status are extremely terrifying. ”

Izawa didn't think about it in the slightest, obviously he had done his homework before he saw Rod,

"According to reliable sources, there seems to be a vice president among the people who came this time. ”

"Vice President?"

Rod was slightly stunned, and then chuckled,

"There is only one president and three vice presidents at the headquarters of the sect association, and now a vice president is dispatched for our Taoism, which is really not a small situation. ”

The formation that Rhodes said was naturally not the strength of the sect association's dispatch lineup this time, but the force it represented.

In fact, many people will think that the strength of Taoism is already so strong, why should they be so afraid of sect associations.

In fact, it is very simple, the sect association is an organization formed by the religious community and the major empires, and the people in this organization may not be strong, but they have a very strong power background.

To be more specific, the rules in sectarian associations are the community of interests and compromise interests of all people, with small sects hoping to fight for their own interests through sectarian associations, large sects hoping to safeguard their vested interests through sectarian associations, and secular regimes hoping to restrain the infinite expansion of theocracy through sectarian associations.

All people will do their best to ensure the authority and existence of the denominational association, which is the balance, so the denominational association has a pivotal position in the religious world.

Of course, the rights of the denominational association are limited to the name of the denomination and the maintenance of the rules, but even so, Rhodes will not easily provoke such an organization.

"Your Excellency, look?"

Seeing that Rod was lost in thought, Ize asked softly.

"It's all right, aren't it just the little things in the province of Darkos. ”

Suddenly, Rod smiled faintly,

"Let's go and meet the Commission for Discipline Inspection from the imperial capital!"

"Commission for Discipline Inspection?"

"Oh, it's the friends of the Sect Guild......"
