I am an immortal in heaven and earth

Chapter 299: Dao Weapon Hidden in the Body
After Xu Jia created the Taoist Talisman, his soul began to ignite faintly, but it was only a little fire the size of a mung bean. His soul was not completely ignited, but it was also using the Yin residue as oil in an attempt to transform it into pure Yang.

Xu Jia did not give it to outsiders first, but instead taught this Lingbao Taoist talisman to the celestial beings transformed from hungry ghosts in the 3,600 inner blessed lands.

After they were given this scroll, all kinds of spiritual lights appeared immediately. The spiritual treasures received by each person seemed to be slightly different. However, since they were all born as hungry ghosts and were converted by Xu Jia, although the spiritual treasures they received were of different colors, they were all of the same virtue. They said, "I want to do something to make the world no longer full of hungry ghosts."

They begged one after another, "Tianzun, Emperor, please let us leave Yuyu Blessed Land and return to the gloomy Dharma Realm filled with hungry ghosts. We want to rescue them."

How could Xu Jia disagree? "You guys go ahead."

Immediately, five-colored rays of light appeared on his body, thousands of them, rushing towards the Dharma Realm.

The Five Elements Demon Gods, the Nine-Child Mother Demon God, and the Chastity Demon God also said, "Please teach us the talisman, sir. We also want to spread the teachings."

Xu Jia disagreed: "You are naturally different from the hungry ghost class. You belong to the same class of ghosts and demons. You are originally oppressive and driven. I have subdued you, but I cannot let you go. I can only restrain you in my body to prevent you from spreading the idea that you can become a Buddha by laying down your butcher knife. You are still demons in nature."

The demons were disappointed. After their last rebellion failed, they had become much more honest, but they still fantasized about the outside world.

"But don't worry, you will eventually have a destination. Just like a blade, you can only point outwards, not towards yourself."

"I will grant you the Scroll of Xuande Hongyuan, but you are overseas. Since you are originally from the Changsheng Sect, you will need to use it to deal with the Changsheng Sect and more evil gods and demons. Your destiny is to become an absolute magic weapon that is invincible against the Changsheng Sect demons."

The Five Elements Demon God recalled the days when he was still the Five Elements Demon. He was killed by the followers of Changsheng Sect and refined into ghosts and demons. He used them to drive and kill people and captured them as the Five Elements' lackeys to form Taoist soldiers and ghosts.

If Xu Jia hadn't rescued him, who knows how many more people would have been killed. The Nine-Child Mother Demon God and the Female Demon God were also like this. They all said, "We are willing to become a sharp blade in the hands of the leader!"

"Very good." Xu Jia said, "Wait for the big ship to come and transport some of the refugees who have had experience in land reclamation in Poyang to the South Sea islands. You will escort them. Once there, deal with the Changsheng Sect, the indigenous evil gods, and subdue the magic demons and turn them into your rampant soldiers."

The many physical gods left Xu Jia's body and arrived in the Dharma Realm, where they transformed themselves into different forms. Flames ignited on their bodies, especially on their faces. They had been enlightened by Xu Jia and were no longer ordinary hungry ghosts. At this moment, they manifested themselves as the kings among the hungry ghosts.

All of them were tall, with green fire burning on their faces, red fire burning on their faces, yellow-orange fire burning on their faces, white fire burning on their faces, or black-purple fire burning on their faces...

They all sit on blue lotus platforms and pass on the spiritual treasures they have received to the hungry ghosts.

All the hungry ghosts regarded them as the Hungry Ghost Kings and surrounded and worshipped them. The Burning Face Ghost King they transformed into would catch these hungry ghosts and eat them. The burning face fire was the real fire that refined them. When it went into their stomachs, there was sweet dew and sweet rain inside. There was also a bright moon behind their heads, which was clearly the Taiyin Spirit Moon...

As soon as these hungry ghosts were eaten, they were enlightened by the ghost kings through the method of reincarnation and gained some spiritual wisdom. Although they still starved, they also had the opportunity to receive spiritual treasures and escape from the hungry ghost realm.

"Our flames can set the whole field on fire, burning away all the wasteland, and allowing you to grow crops in the Dharma Realm."

A hungry ghost said, "But we don't have any seeds or farming tools."

"Why are there no seeds? Think about it again!"

The hungry ghosts then thought about the seeds in their minds, and their “dream came true” as a seed really appeared before them.

"This is?"

"This is the power of spiritual treasures. This seed is actually the source of your spiritual light. You long to be free from hunger, so it materializes into a seed. As for farm tools, you can use the stones and wood of the Dharma Realm to make them first. In the future, you can also mine the iron ore of the Dharma Realm to develop yourself, and even build a house."

Although the hungry ghosts were so hungry that they had changed their shapes, they still had a yearning heart. They said, "But our throats are as small as the eye of a needle, and our mouths are like furnaces. Anything we eat will turn into charcoal. Our stomachs are big, but our limbs are like bamboo poles. If we exert force, they will break. What should we do?"

"Then tame the fire in your mouth and find some ice to put it out. If your throat is small, use a funnel to put the food in like you are stuffing sausages. You have received the spiritual treasure and can do whatever you want. Overcome all difficulties and be your own savior."

……

Xu Jia originally lent the Seven Treasures Cold Forest Robe to Hu Agui. After Hu Agui's death, the Robe was still kept and not given to anyone else. This Robe is a treasure of Buddhism. When the nun of the former Ksitigarbha Temple wore it, she could subdue the Lord of the Corpse Forest and give alms to hungry ghosts.

At this time, there was a faint light, as if there was a Buddha, Bodhisattva, or some foreign deity that wanted to use it to anchor.

Hungry ghosts are where their power lies. If there were no hungry ghosts in the world, to whom would they preach, teach, and impart the Dharma? How would they scare sentient beings so that they would be reborn as hungry ghosts in the future and suffer a bad reincarnation.

To be honest, abnormal weather and cold disasters will cause more people to starve to death, and their souls will become hungry ghosts, wandering in the Dharma Realm, giving birth to countless ghost kings, such as the green-faced ghost king, the big-bellied ghost king, the one-horned ghost king, the Asura ghost king, or the Rakshasa ghost king...

Just as a head popped out, a sword light came up.

The head fell on the spot, but the head did not die. It stared at Xu Jia and said, "I am the Venerable Maudgalyayana! You destroyed my Buddha foundation, established heterodox teachings, and practiced the devil's way of Poxun. You must be my Buddha's enemy."

Xu Jia sneered, and the Golden Dragon Sword twisted again, crushing the Seven Treasures Cold Forest Robe together, and the seven treasures fell out, which were all absorbed by Xu Jia's Three Emperors and Ten Thousand People Umbrella.

The demons of heaven, yin, and realms in the umbrella, although they were the incarnations of great desire, also met the great wishes of all people. They absorbed the power of the seven treasures and said, "Master, we can also master the true scriptures, explain the true scriptures, guide monks and believers, and understand what is the right faith. We can respect your mother as the new Buddha Mother."

Xu Jia said: "Although my mother gave me life, Buddha is not the mother of Taoism. In fact, I led my parents to practice Buddhism, so my mother did not attain Buddhahood. You don't have to flatter me. You are all demons. When you see the chaos in the world, you want to go out and stir up trouble. You will not obey my will. I am afraid that the monks and believers you lead are all doing the work of demons. You should just practice virtue here."

The demons in the heavens were extremely disappointed. The Lingbao Taoist people's talismans were ever-changing, which was also in line with the demon's way of formlessness. They said that they wanted the interpretation of Buddhist scriptures, but in fact they wanted to do what they wanted in the name of Lingbao.

Xu Jia can subdue demons and never waver. He can let them do things, but they cannot be in power.

"You are demons. You put on clothes and change sides only to better specialize in yourselves."

The demons asked, "What about the Golden Toad Duobao? Isn't he a demon? What about you? If you are not a demon, how could you attract us?"

"Golden Toad Duobao acted with my authorization. He annexed land in order to distribute it, which was something that had to be done. He gathered wealth in order to carry out reforms, which cost money. There is an invisible war here that will eliminate the old landlords with backward production capacity and cultivate a group of capital. The capitalists will develop all kinds of industries, but extreme expansion will cause a lot of problems. Even if there are no problems, they will monopolize, and capital will enslave the regime, forming a new hell, and eventually enslaving all sentient beings.

But Jinchan Duobao will judge them in the end, because he represents the capital flow itself, and he is also the moment I arranged to detonate the egg. Their capital will quickly turn into bubbles and become empty. After a moment of turmoil, they will be eliminated from the inside, and everything will be returned to the collective and to everyone. "

"But you left a seed. No one wants true equality for all. Everyone wants to be the best. People's bad nature is difficult to correct. You said people have great desires, so you have great wishes, but great desires can never be satisfied. As the saying goes, people go to high places, and water flows to low places."

"Laziness will make them unproductive, their lust will make them physically weak, entertainment will make them lose themselves, and complacency will stop society from developing, and a rot will start from within." "Their bad nature shows that they need classes and hierarchy."

"For this reason, all noble qualities have meaning. Brave people can fight, wise people can research and develop, and hardworking people can climb up. If they enjoy the same treatment and human rights as lazy, ignorant, and cowardly people, their egos will fall into extreme depression. They will suffer and resent that your great desires and wishes are contrary to theirs."

"If you agree with their good qualities, then their struggle will inevitably move towards class transition, and will eventually form bureaucracy and capital."

"If you plan to actively detonate their accumulation and beat them back to their original form, it's okay once or twice, but three or four times, they will unite to overthrow your system and criticize your ideas. Maybe if you don't ascend, they will be cautious, but what if you ascend? Can you suppress the greed of the golden toad? Can you ensure that those seemingly kind little demons under your command will not start to eat people for cultivation? They are all meritorious followers of yours. They may not eat people openly, but what about sneaking around?"

The three demon leaders of Wanmin Umbrella are the combination of the three external demons of greed, anger and ignorance of the Dharma King and the three corpse demons in Xu Jia's body. They protect Xu Jia from demonic obstacles, but they themselves are also transformed by Xu Jia's demonic obstacles. Especially after Xu Jia transformed his great desires into great wishes, their status was already very high. They also understood Xu Jia's thoughts and understood what Xu Jia was afraid of.

"Only God knows."

This sentence popped up in Xu Jia's mind, but then he thought that his conditions were completely different from that person's.

Although they all hide the Tao and the tools on their bodies, this side is the immortal cultivation side, so to speak, I am also a monster.

Xu Jia said: "So I will build the way of heaven. The way of heaven is like this, and the way of man must follow the way of heaven."

"I will engrave my laws and thoughts into the Heavenly Dao. Even if I ascend to heaven or am destroyed by calamities, my thoughts will still be in the Heavenly Dao. In another ten thousand years, there will still be people who choose my Dao and inherit the spiritual treasure."

The demon was silent: "Then they will definitely try their best to make everyone unable to look up, and they can only look at the ground."

"The Way of Heaven is always there." Xu Jia said, "As long as someone looks up."

The demons had no more excuses, so they could only say, "Then go ahead and build your own Heavenly Dao! Human hearts are selfish, but Heavenly Dao is selfless. We don't believe you can build a Heavenly Dao that runs perfectly without errors."

"Or if you can record the way of heaven, then others can also record the way of heaven by following your steps."

Xu Jia stopped talking to them. No matter what was said, they would debate it, but practice was the most important.

After Xu Jia calmed down, the demons became anxious: "Why don't you say anything? I have a plan. If you let us out, we will definitely follow your will. We swear."

But Xu Jia had already left. Xu Jia looked up at the sky, which was filled with murderous intent.

All living beings are in danger and don’t know how to get a chance to survive.

……

Time flies, and soon it is February. Spring thunder starts, and it rains everywhere. It rains endlessly, mixed with snow and hail, and the roads are all muddy.

The reclaimed land in Poyang Lake is also unsuitable for planting seedlings. Although the little dragon king Shunji can take away the water energy, other places will definitely suffer. The water level of Poyang Lake is still rising. Fortunately, some silt has been cleared before and the water storage capacity has been increased. However, the water levels of other rivers are rising and they are also discharging floodwaters directly to Poyang.

Bad weather prevents people from working normally.

The Taoists of Shanju Temple set up an altar and prayed to the Sun God, hoping for clear weather, but it was of no avail. In fact, even if Xu Jia came, there was nothing he could do.

This is the solar term of heaven and earth, not a rebellious Qi.

As expected, a plague broke out in the north. People who froze to death in the winter began to rot. Zombies even appeared in some places, and demons and monsters began to cause chaos.

The situation in Jiangnan West Road was relatively good. Zhang Fajing of Longhu Mountain performed a ritual on Longhu Mountain, covering the entire Jiangnan West Road with the law of the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master, and ordered the gods to crack down severely. The local government office also started to operate, and all kinds of evil monsters were escorted to Poyang. Those who should be killed were killed, and the rest were reformed through labor.

But at this time, Sun Bao's seven ships and other sea merchants he lobbied arrived with twenty-three ships.

The number of disaster victims taken in near Poyang has exceeded 70,000 to 80,000, but the population capacity of these twenty or so ships is limited. After all, in addition to people, they also need to carry food and tools for clearing wasteland. On average, each ship carries about 100 people, all of whom are family immigrants. The 23 ships carry a total of 2,500 people, including Huizhuo, Chen Gongming, Xu Jia's 500 new disciples, and some little demons who are willing to develop overseas.

Xu Jia personally taught the Lingbao Daomin Lu Fa to 500 disciples, and personally accepted Jiang Qi and Shen Bao as his disciples. He told the little fat boy, "This time you will be in charge of the work, and Chen Gongming will assist you. When you arrive at the place, try to reduce the killing as much as possible, do a good job of naturalizing the natives, and plant as many crops as possible. But don't be afraid of trouble. The equipment I give you, even the hoes, are made of steel, which is more than enough to be used as weapons. With the Taoist magic, there is no reason for you to be defeated by the natives or anyone else."

"Does this count as exile?" Huizhuo sighed.

"Now the construction of Sanqing Palace has stopped, and all the big wood has been used to build ships. The next time I go overseas, it will be my father. Do you think this is exile?"

"Okay." The fat boy got on the boat, followed by two giant pythons, Chang Yuying and Chang Yu'e. They looked scary, but many people were used to them. They knew they were bodyguards and if there were any sea monsters on the road, they would be eaten by them.

What's more, you can see that cannons are pushed onto the ship and installed on the side and bow. The large ship has seven cannons and the medium-sized ship has three cannons.

In fact, flintlock rifles are already being made, but the initial development direction is the three-barreled musket, which is easier to build. Flintlock rifles also involve an airtightness problem, which has not yet been completely solved. In addition, steam engines for boiling water are also being made, at least there is a model.

The technology brought by Xu Jia has been developed by a group of Taoists living in mountain temples who like to make elixirs and tinker with explosives, and they have gained knowledge through studying things.

From Poyang, into the Yangtze River, and then through the Yangtze River into the sea. These merchants all have connections, and with cannons on top, they actually didn't encounter any problems going out to sea. What they wanted to go to was the Philippines, which was not too far away.

It only takes about three or four days to get from Poyang to the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then through the East China Sea and the Taiwan Strait to enter the Philippine waters, also known as Luzon, which takes about eight to twelve days.

There were enough tools on the ship, as well as powerful bull spirits and bull monsters. On the one hand, they could use silk and porcelain to exchange for food from indigenous leaders, and even hire the indigenous people to directly participate in construction. On the other hand, they also had enough weapons for conquest.

Xu Jia’s plan was to settle down first, then trade normally, and if anyone caused trouble, beat them into submission and then naturalize them.

Silk and porcelain are used to breed corruption among the natives and to exchange for food. With these, you can bring less food, and of course you can trade with other merchants for bulk food, or rob directly, in short, it's not bad.

Second, if you encounter pirates, you must kill them, because Xu Jia needs a large number of ships, and it is very expensive to build them by himself. Although Jin Chan is also building them, it takes time.
