Daomen is the state religion of the Great Zhou, but it is not only the state religion of the Great Zhou, long before the founding of the Great Zhou, Daomen was the state religion in many dynasties.

The Pope is the theocracy of the state religion, the co-ruler of all believers in the world, and in a sense, has a higher status than the king.

What does it take to be a good pope?

Chen Changsheng read through the Taoist collection and read the deeds of countless generations of popes in books, but there was no way to learn this kind of thing.

Or it was for this reason that his papal uncle never taught him how to do it, but only tried to influence him through his words and deeds.

For example, the world is important, Taoguang is obscure, prudent and serious, not caring about temporary gains and losses, not caring about the reputation of eternity, only for all sentient beings.

After leaving Kyoto, he went straight to the north, like many young monks, to help on the battlefield, but this proved to be useless, and it was easy to confuse the front line and shake the morale of the army. Then he began to use medical skills to save people and refine cinnabar pills, which did save many people, but it was still not enough.

Wang Zhice said in his notes that the position is relative, and if you are in different positions, you naturally have to choose different ways of doing things. He is now the Pope, and if he wants to contribute to the world, he must not act like a swordsman or a doctor, but he must come up with different means.

For this dark and decaying world, Su Li disdains to be with it, disdains to look at it, if the red dust is touched, he will be slashed with a sword, and the method of the Tianhai Holy Queen is to use darker and more cruel means to suppress it, to try to disperse all those stale qi, and the method of the Pope Master is more gentle and conservative.

In Chen Changsheng's view, these methods are not right.

He can't keep giving in and be willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of the so-called overall situation like Uncle Shi, and he is not so alienated from the world like Su Li's predecessors, although the world has no kindness to him, but he still likes this world and the people who live in this world, of course, he can't do it like the Tianhai Holy Queen, after reading Wang Zhice's notes in Lingyan Pavilion, he has given up any ambition to let the world dance with him.

His means, or methods, or things to be done, are actually very simple.

If you don't want to give up the world to those rotten and boring people, then you should stand up.

Just like the spring breeze greening the south bank of the river, just like wild flowers blooming all over the hillside, it is just and upright, announcing to the world.

If it was just him, of course it would be difficult, but fortunately, he still has many peers and like-minded people.

It would be nice if that guy was willing to join in, but unfortunately why wouldn't he want to go out of the mountain?

Chen Changsheng looked at the room that was still brightly lit in the distance, and didn't know what Rob was thinking at this time.

......

......

The demon clan really withdrew, there was no trap, and no reservations were made, from the north of Tianliang County to the wilderness and snow field of about two thousand miles at the western foot of Hanshan Mountain, I could no longer see the figure of a demon clan, only two teams of wolf riders remained on the bank of the Lahu River, which should be used to monitor the movements of the human army.

Many people are still a little puzzled about why the demons withdrew their troops, but no matter from which point of view, this is a victory for the human race, more than ten military mansions and more military villages in the northern snow fields have begun to celebrate, and people's faces are filled with relaxed smiles, as if they are celebrating a festival.

The atmosphere in the Matsuyama Military Mansion was different from other places, tense and depressing, and the main street was crowded with people on both sides, whether it was a sergeant or a businessman, or a few ordinary people, their faces were full of worry and unease, because they were gathered here not to celebrate the withdrawal of the demons, but to wait for the outcome of an interrogation.

In the past few days, many chariots have entered the Songshan Military Mansion, some chariots are from Yonglan Pass and Yongxue Pass, some chariots are from Hanqiu City, and a few chariots even come from distant Kyoto, and each chariot represents a real big man.

Because Ning Shiwei died.

One night, he left his garrison with his own soldiers and disappeared without a trace, and his body was found mutilated when it was discovered, and the most important problem was that he did not die on the battlefield in the snow, but in a very remote snowy ridge.

A god is going to die a mysterious death, and of course the truth needs to be ascertained.

The sergeants and merchants on the street also wanted to know what was going on.

Little did they know that a lot of people had died that night. Zhu Ye, the new owner of Zhu Valve, the second-generation disciple Tianhai Stained Clothes, who was the focus of the Tianhai family, and the seventeenth master of the Tang family, like Ning Shiwei, all died in that cold night.

With so many big shots dead, it is natural that more big shots are needed to come and investigate.

The two gods came from Yongxue Pass and Yonglan Pass respectively, and the Tianhai family came to a real big man - Tianhai Chengwen, the younger brother of the head of the family, Tianhai Chengwu, but he was not the person with the highest status in the Songshan Military Mansion today, because the King of Zhongshan rushed from Kyoto as a messenger of the imperial court. Only the Zhu family of Tianliang County died because of the connection, and there were no more powerful figures, and their power declined sharply, so they just sent someone casually, and they only had to listen to the trial when they wanted to come to the trial.

When the big man came to the Songshan Military Mansion, the first thing was of course to investigate the cause of death of Ning Shiwei and others, but obviously, the more important thing was that position.

The location of the god general of the Matsuyama Military Mansion.

When the Holy Queen Niangniang was in power, the war against the demon clan was not going well, but the military was still not inferior to the heyday, with a total of thirty-eight god generals. During the change of Tianshuling, famous gods such as Xue Xingchuan and Tianmao died one after another, and then the battle between the court and the court was also extremely fierce, and the wind and rain were scattered, and now there are only twenty-three left.

Kyoto and Luoyang need to be guarded by gods, and the number of gods who can stay in the north is even smaller.

Now on the snow field, except for the special status of the Snow Pass and the Blue Pass, the rest of the military governments have only one god general. After Ning Shiwei's death, the position of the god general of the Songshan military government was vacant, and it was impossible to transfer the god general from other military offices, which meant that the imperial court needed a new god general.

For the Great Zhou military and even the imperial court, the gods will be the most critical position.

Because God will have the power to fight, he can even transfer troops without his will at a critical moment.

No matter what Ning Shiwei died for, now that a position is vacant, a new god general can be promoted, whether it is the Xiangwang faction, the Tianhai family, or other forces in the DPRK, they will definitely not miss this opportunity.

In the middle of winter, there is no snow in the Songshan Military Palace, but the top of the walled city built on the mountain is densely covered with clouds, and the sky is very cold.

Just like the expressions of these big people sitting in the main hall of the military mansion at this time.

The King of Zhongshan sat in the middle, as rumored, with a violent aura between his eyebrows.

Tianhai Chengwen and Jianxi God from Yongxue Pass will sit on the right hand side.

The Dali Temple, who came with the King of Zhongshan, and the god Cheng Tao from Yonglan Pass, will sit on the left hand side.

The camp is very clear, and the position is the same, otherwise the atmosphere in the main hall would not be so depressing, and even a little gloomy.

General Cheng Tao looked at the commander of Gaoyang Town under the hall, his face was extremely ugly, and he shouted: "The Lord will come to your camp, and you don't know anything?"
