"The state religion of the Daqian Dynasty is Fu Lu Sect, and the state religion of the Dali Dynasty is Jiange. Then why has the Dazhou Dynasty where I am not heard of the state religion?"
Jiang Chen said with some confusion.
"The Great Zhou Dynasty was founded by force, and there was no false Taoist power. It swept through the thirteen kingdoms and finally created an immortal foundation."
"This is all due to the fact that the founding ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was a very powerful warrior. His martial arts cultivation has reached the level of entering the Tao through martial arts. Even the Tao Lord cannot get any advantage in front of him. "
"So it's not that he doesn't rely on the monastic forces, but he completely controls the monks under his command instead of being manipulated by the monks. Moreover, even in the current Zhou Dynasty, martial arts is very popular."
"The martial arts prevailed in Hongwu County, where Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty rebelled, and even in the imperial capital, where ascetics were ostracized."
"I really can't imagine what kind of painting style the Zhou Dynasty was like."
Zhang Longxiang said with great emotion.
The Daqian Dynasty where he lived was very close to the Zhou Dynasty, so he should have heard many rumors about the Zhou Dynasty.
"But I heard from my master that the Zhou Dynasty without the support of the state religion is destined not to last long, while the Dali Dynasty can flourish for thousands or even thousands of years with the support of Jiange."
"But without the state religion, the Zhou Dynasty of Emperor Taizu Long Yu Bintian might not be able to last even a thousand years before there would be another turmoil, or even the country would perish!"
"The current Great Zhou Dynasty is already in a state of turmoil. The officials are ignorant, demons are rampant, and the people are in dire straits. Perhaps one or two more ignorant emperors or young rulers will appear, and the Great Zhou Dynasty will be completely finished."
"For a king of a dynasty, the state religion does restrict him, preventing him from letting go and doing whatever he wants. But it is precisely this kind of restriction that prevents every emperor from doing anything he wants."
"And the state religion means the most powerful monastic force in a dynasty. Even if there is no Taoist Lord in charge, there are still a dozen or even dozens of Xiaoyao Realm major cultivators in charge."
"Once a foreign enemy invades, these overhauls are an extremely terrifying deterrent!"
Zhao Zhenwu said.
Jiang Chen somewhat agreed with his words, because since he entered the world of Xianxia, he settled in Nanjun of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Along the way, I encountered evil spirits who set up incense and evil gods to massacre a town of people. I also encountered leftist monks who stole the sky and changed the day, pretended to be the county magistrate, colluded with the ghost king, and suppressed the city god.
We also encountered the county governor practicing evil arts in order to extend his life, and the upright disciples of famous families refining the infant pill. We also encountered the evil cultivator from the left who massacred the disciples of the right way and controlled the entire county.
These are not just chaos!
Although he didn't know what those dynasties with state religions were like, but if the Zhou Dynasty continued to be in such chaos, it might really be close to subjugation!
After the three people talked candidly, they also got closer to each other, started chatting, and each told about the customs, power distribution, etc. of their own region.
The three of them talked until sunset before leaving.
However, all three of them have added their contact information, so if anything happens, they can be contacted on their mobile phones in time.
After all, at this juncture, there are really not many real Taoist practitioners in the real world. If you can find a few like-minded Taoist friends, you will not be lonely in the future.

China.
Extreme South Sea.
Spirit Snake Island.
This was originally an unknown island, but it was later leased by the Spirit Snake Group to raise pythons and conduct snake hybridization and genetic experiments. Later, for convenience, it was named Spirit Snake Island.
After nearly ten years of research, Lingshe Group has established a series of python production and processing factories on Lingshe Island, as well as four large-scale test bases.
They have developed non-toxic and harmless pythons with delicious meat, as well as many extremely poisonous snakes and even some strange snakes.
These snakes are used by them for biomedicine, brewing medicinal wine, making handicrafts, selling snake meat, etc.
There is a depression deep in the Spirit Snake Island. Here the Spirit Snake Group built a huge snake pit. Below it is a hard ground made of reinforced concrete. High walls are erected around it. On top of the wall, fine and strong
The barbed wire fence completely covered and sealed it.
There are all kinds of pythons in the snake pit, and even strange snakes such as two-headed snakes and multi-tailed snakes.
Among the snakes there was a very strange python.
At first glance, this snake looks no different from an ordinary python, but its size is very huge, with a body as thick as a huge bucket, dozens of meters long.
And its head is very special. Its face is full of hard bony protrusions, arranged in a very special three-dimensional shape. No matter which direction you look at it, it looks like it is staring at you!
Its pupils were shattered and split into nine pieces, like a blooming dark divine flower. Occasionally, colorful divine lights flashed through, giving people the feeling that it was sneering.
I saw it hiding deep among the snakes, and sometimes it suddenly opened its bloody mouth full of fine teeth like daggers inserted upside down and swallowed more than a dozen pythons in one mouthful.
Bite them into fine pieces and swallow them!
The scales on its body are thick and flowing with spiritual light, like gray inferior jade, opening and closing as if it is breathing.
After eating like crazy, it began a new round of transformation. After the transformation was completed, a pair of small bone horns grew on his head!
Boom!
A worker responsible for catching snakes operated a robot in a snake-catching vehicle to catch snakes. He skillfully placed the snakes in the mechanical box containing the snakes.
These mechanical boxes have refrigeration devices. Snakes entering the boxes will soon lose their aggressive form, and then the transporters will send these boxes to the processing factory!
Just when the snake catcher wanted to catch another snake, he found a scale the size of an adult's face plate falling from the robot's hand.
He was shocked when he saw this, and immediately closed the door of the snake pit, stepped out of the snake catching vehicle, and picked up the scale.
The scales are gray-black in color, with bony lines all over them. They are warm to the touch and are very hard when pressed hard!
"Old Yan!"
"Come quickly and take a look!"
"What's this?"
The snake catcher shouted to an old foreman of the snake catching team.
Lao Yan's name is Yan Xiao, and he has been working on this small island for eight years. He started as an ordinary snake catcher and became a mother-in-law after many years of marriage. Now he has become a moderate leader.
But his leader does not have any leadership airs.
"Zhao Qiang, what rare treasure did you pick up again?"
"Bring it to me and see!"
Yan Xiao said cheerfully.
"Old Yan, this is not a rare treasure, but a disaster!"
Zhao Qiang trotted up to Yan Xiao holding a face-sized scale and handed it to him solemnly.
"This is... snake scale?"
"So big?"
"How big does this snake have to be?"
"The anaconda is the largest snake in the world today. It can reach a length of more than one meter, weighs more than 225 kilograms, and is as thick as the torso of an adult man."
"But the average length of anacondas is about meters."
"Based on the scales, if we compare the size of this snake, it may already be over ten meters or even dozens of meters, and it may be thicker than a large bucket surrounded by several people!"
"Oh my God!"
"How could such a snake appear?"
"Qiangzi, tell the brothers to suspend the snake-catching operations. I will report this matter to Manager Yang immediately. I'll see what he thinks. Should he kill or keep this big guy?"
