第一百一十四章金钱教会(8/20)

                                                                                                       如此一来，圣神教也就从一个潜心修炼的内敛教派，变成一个能够迅速传播、自行壮大的新教派。每一个虔诚的教徒，就是一名积极的传教士。
                                                                                                                                                                可以想像，当这数以万计的传教士分散到星棋大陆上时，圣神教的教徒数量将以几何数量级增长，那将是多么振奋人心的时代呀。兰斯对新增的圣神教教典?地狱篇十分满意，把它当作是自己作为圣神教传教士的最大创造。
                                                                                                                                                                他欣慰的看到新教典发放到德容平民手中，等待它的效果。不料三天之后，从艾莉莎那里传来了非常富有讽刺意味的坏消息。
                                                                                                                                                                德容郡是个穷郡，平民多半务农、打渔，很少有识字的。兰斯那些书写工整的手抄本教典发到平民手中，犹如发给了穴居人。

                                                                                                                                                                我想要真的传教，却碰到这种事。难道我要先教会这些农夫识字不成？这些有眼楮的人类，还不如没眼楮的穴居人好教化！”兰斯对著悬挂在主教房间里的圣彼耶明画像恼怒的说道。
                                                                                                                                                                兰斯吩咐下人把教典搬来，摆在桌案上，从开头阅读起来。才读了两页，兰斯就忍不住摇头。
                                                                                                                                                                原来当年编撰圣神教教典的老神甫，和其后历代修编者皆是学问高深的学究派老神甫和史学家，写出的文字大量堆砌辞藻，固然内容深厚、外观华美，却并非寻常识字的平民能读得懂的不，何止平民，经过数千年沧海桑田的文字、文化变迁，虽经过多次修编、加注，圣神教教典也早已不是当代芬顿人能读懂的了，其中有些
