I am an immortal in heaven and earth

Chapter 353: East Avenue Group News
"Gan! Are the Taoist priests out there so rich?"

The Dongda Dao Sect was received by Xu Jia's people, and they stayed in five-star hotels. They were picked up and dropped off in Rolls-Royce business cars, and their food was specially supplied by air transport. The only thing missing was that there were people who liked to practice dual cultivation, so they were taken to see some foreign girls, and the souvenirs were some customized Lu brand suitcases and some gold friendship medals.

To be honest, these external objects are not very valuable. Xu Jia asked them to use them to test the cadres.

It's nothing, just to improve favorability, and by the way, this is just a test.

How can I say about the Taoists in the Dongda Taoist sect? There are few rich ones who practice Taoism, but many poor ones. Some of them drive Maseratis up the mountain, and they are those who have money from their families to practice Taoism. But most of them are poor. If they take over a temple, they will be even poorer. They can't wait to ask the ancestors for divination and buy lottery tickets to fill their pockets.

Material tests are, in fact, the most crude and effective tests.

Although it is a wrong conclusion that "the air in America is sweet", when the overwhelming sense of luxury surrounds people 360 ​​degrees, it does make people feel "inferiority and timid", and even produce a sense of reverence for authority.

But after seeing the world, the most important thing is to be able to correctly identify yourself.

The leader of the Dongda Taoist sect is a man from the Northeast, the leader of Quanzhen, whose founder is Master Guo. They practice in Tiesha Mountain. However, recently Tiesha Mountain has been in a state of chaos, filled with various "immortals" and "internet celebrities."

He was also a Taoist reformist, but he had no idea how to reform, so he came to America to study and communicate.

But after being received like this by Xu Jia, and looking at the expressions of many of my colleagues, there was only one thing left in my mind: This team is not going to be easy to lead.

He couldn't help but think of the dance troupe and martial arts troupe that went out to perform, but ended up not returning home and permanently residing in America. His feelings towards Xu Jia also became subtle.

"Then what Patriarch Xu said in the video is correct. America is indeed a sacred place for the devil. There are devils everywhere, and they can corrupt people's minds without any trace. It is difficult for disciples to follow the right path, but it is much easier to follow the wrong path."

The Taoists swam, had a SPA, and ate some delicious food in the hotel. After resting for a day, they were taken to Tongtian Temple.

Li Rentai was in charge of this matter. He arrived at the hotel in advance and met with Changhai Daoren, the chairman of the Dongda Dao Group Exchange Association.

"Hello, Senior Brother Li."

Changhai practices Quanzhen Dandao, but has not yet reached the realm of minor success. He is practicing at the initial stage of human immortality, at the level of small Zhoutian. Most of the Taoists who come after him are similar. Some only have a sense of Qi, some specialize in practicing internal studies, some focus on theory, and some have no sense of Qi at all but can play Taoist music.

Li Rentai was different. The ghost immortal book on his body made his temperament calm. After eating a roasted angel wing brought by Xu Jia that day, he entered the practice of the Great Circulation and reached the middle to late stage of human immortal.

This is also the level of the headmaster among the various Taoist sects in the East.

Li Rentai originally thought that the level of the Dongda Dao group was not low, but when he actually saw it, he was a little disappointed. He secretly said: "It seems that the Dongda Dao sect has declined." But he was also very polite: "Master Changhai, please."

"I dare not call myself a real person." Chang Hai felt ashamed, and then he inquired: "Although I have heard of Master Xu before, and I have also checked the archives about Master Xu at Dongda, I still find it a little unbelievable. The Taoist Association has also learned about this matter and reported it to the upper level. The upper level leaders attached great importance to it, so this exchange took place."

"Please ask Senior Brother Li to explain it to us so that we can be prepared."

Li Rentai thought about it, pulled him into the car, and talked in the car. He cast a spell and summoned two "black evil servants", who were the souls of black people who were involved in a gunfight on the streets of America and were trained by earth spirits.

Although Changhai did not open his third eye, he had some inspiration, but he felt his hair stand on end and was very uncomfortable.

"Our ancestor suddenly descended to the altar more than two years ago. In the past fifty or sixty years, there was not much response. We only know that he is serving in the underworld. Therefore, I, Tongtianguan Youke, am effective in performing the work of helping the Chinese people to be reborn in America."

"Four or five years ago, the master suddenly refused to give us our approval. We thought at the time that he was reincarnated. If he had been promoted, he would not have given up our temple. After all, people fight for a breath of air, and Buddhas fight for a stick of incense."

"It was not until two years ago that the master's true body descended to the altar and told us that he had gone to another world to teach and enlighten people. In other words, our master traveled through time and space, and traveled between two worlds. I wonder if you have read any online works about this. Can you understand it?"

Guo Changhai:?

We don't have the same style, we are still following Taoist folk customs, why did you switch to fairy tales?

Li Rentai said: "These are also our speculations. The founder himself did not say it explicitly. However, when the founder first appeared, he said that he was in the realm of earthly immortals. Now he is in the realm of gods. Regardless of earthly immortals or gods, they have already achieved immortality. It is beyond the imagination of us mortals. It is like an emperor begging with a golden bowl and an empress carrying feces with a golden toilet."

"Now that the Grandmaster is teaching America, it seems like he has a mission."

After that, he took out a video clip, which showed Xu Jia giving a lecture: "America is on the verge of national destruction and division. As the saying goes, when a country is about to fall, evil spirits will emerge frequently. This is exactly reflected in this point. You must unify the overseas Chinese and form your own power. In the future, you may be able to occupy a state or a prefecture and establish a Taoist country... You will have your own place (Chapter 307)."

Guo Changhai's jaw dropped in shock.

"The founder clearly said that we are inseparable from Dongda. In the future, we must cooperate with Dongda to achieve a win-win situation. This is also an opportunity for Taoism to build a Taoist country, not like the Vatican, but a Taoist country that truly controls a state, and help Dongda become the world leader..."

"Reopen the Investiture of the Gods?" Guo Changhai found it a little unbelievable: "Isn't this a vernacular novel? Although there were prophecies about the advent of the Purple Star Saint on the Internet before, and some pseudo-masters talked about cosmic energy and contact with the Heavenly Court, we didn't get any news!" Li Changhai said: "Only those who are enlightened can benefit. If we have to wait for notification, then the matter has been completed. Moreover, according to what Grandmaster Xu said, our dimensional ascension will happen in the next few years."

"The ancestor said that there are six levels in the Desire Realm. Each level is like a room. Inside the room are many balls, such as ping-pong balls, footballs, basketballs... Each ball is similar to our civilized world."

"The process of upgrading dimensions is like taking an elevator. Now we are directly upgrading two dimensions. Now everyone says that we are in a three-dimensional world, but in fact it is a four-dimensional world, including a one-way time dimension. We can upgrade two more dimensions, including the vertical time dimension. You can replace the time coordinate system with the space coordinate system. The time coordinate and the space coordinate are connected to each other, which is infinite time and space. At this time, our physical body may not be able to react, but our consciousness and inspiration can travel through time and space."

"The sixth level, the Desire Realm, is the easiest to cultivate, and it is also the easiest level to ascend to the Form Realm. The Form Realm is where the gods in the form of personality, or immortals who have achieved success in cultivation, are described in legends of past dynasties."

"Unlike the formless realm, the immortals and gods no longer have any form and have returned to the state of Tao."

Li Rentai has conducted in-depth research on Xu Jia's remarks, combining them with the space-time papers of America's top physicists and some science fiction imaginations. He has become a firm believer in immortality. What's more, Xu Jia has also given him the ordination certificate, and the Dharma Realm does have the meaning of "multi-consciousness universe."

"We have made it clear for this exchange, and we will just go through the motions. I hope you can say what you want when you return to Dongda. Regardless of whether the higher-ups believe it or not, we are determined to split America, and we hope that Dongda can successfully become the leader of America. As for the matter of deification, it's fine even if they just treat it as our own entertainment."

"I'm a little confused." Guo Changhai didn't expect the news to be so explosive. It was a little hard for him to accept it for a moment. He could only nod, thinking about sorting it out later.

"In the next two days, the Grandmaster will teach you the Dharma. Disciples who have earned enough merit outside will also rush back to receive the talisman. If you want to receive additional talismans, the Grandmaster will give them to you for free. The Grandmaster's talisman is the most effective and can respond to any situation. It can also protect your practice tenfold. I suggest that you all get one. The Ghost Immortal talisman is a guaranteed reward, and the Human Immortal talisman is a big win."

Li Rentai said: "After the spell, you can also experience our business of catching ghosts and fighting demons. There shouldn't be any demons in the Middle-earth, but it's different here. There can be a demon hidden in every town, just like the land god, but it's the kind of terrifying god that has no conversion, the evil god."

"If the master still has favor, he might pass on the true Dharma to you. We are dull in talent and understanding. The master always said that what he passed on to us were unorthodox ways."

.........

When Guo Changhai got off the car, the other Taoists from the Dongda Dao Sect asked him one after another: "Brother, what did he say to you?"

Guo Changhai said: "It is not convenient for me to tell you now. I have to go back to report to the leader. Just follow the normal process of the Taoist group communication. In addition, this Tongtian Temple has its own Lingbao Sect Altar, which can bless the Lingbao talisman. Taoist friends invited us together. If you want to add an extra talisman, you can choose to add it. It's free and no money will be charged."

……

Li Rentai followed Xu Jia to report what he had said in the meeting with the Dongdadao group. Xu Jia listened and said, "The Dongdadao is a deep place, you must not underestimate it. Don't think that they are not as good as you just because they are in the human immortal realm. In fact, I went to America because I thought I would win or lose. The governor of Fujian wanted to... Because I was good at planting the life base, I chose the dragon vein for them. When I was choosing a dragon in Guangxi, I met a senior with profound cultivation who came to stop me from choosing a dragon. He said that the Six Dynasties were nothing but a private plan. So I withdrew from it and came to America with my disciples. I practiced hard and passed the second immortal demon test, which gave me the opportunity later."

"Back then, when I was seeking immortality in Mount Qingcheng, an immortal taught me the true method of inner cultivation. Later, it was hard to find it. There is a legend about a blessed land in Dongda. Those hidden immortals would practice in seclusion and stay in the blessed land. They practiced in the Dharma Realm in the form of their primordial spirits, freed from the boredom of the flesh body and gained the freedom of the yang spirit to gather and disperse as they wish."

"This time, if they want to ascend to the Tao, it will be the best time since the Ming Dynasty, and the chance of success is the greatest."

"During the Ming Dynasty, the dimension was upgraded once, but failed and fell down again. At that time, Wang Yangming became a saint in the Central Plains and the Renaissance occurred in foreign countries..."

"Nowadays, there are signs of saints and sages emerging, and various cultures are flourishing. Although they are all subcultures and we think they are monsters and demons, they are also culture."

Xu Jia said: "Whoever leads a culture of letting a hundred flowers bloom and is welcomed by people all over the world will win the hearts of the people. Whoever leads a culture full of demons and monsters, quirks and seeking differences will be more divisive and lose the hearts of the people."

"In America, we must fully support the minority and split the minority into smaller minorities, just like Buddhism split into various sects, but that is a division of thought and philosophy. There is no need to be too profound here, just divide through behavior."

"For example, in animal protection, we can divide it into wildlife protection organizations, stray cat and dog protection organizations, and even further subdivide it into bird protection organizations and reptile protection organizations. These birds and reptiles are mortal enemies with stray cat and dog protection organizations."

"You should use this to understand the big picture and make use of these subcultures. After all, isn't Taoist culture a niche culture in America? If you create a sense of niche, high-end, and mystery, naturally a large number of believers will follow suit."

"We don't want some powerful disciples, we want influence. Once we have influence, we will filter down and recruit executives from Fortune 500 companies and top students from prestigious universities. We will absorb them and get on the train first and buy tickets later. This is also a kind of wisdom."

"This is not the era of religious belief. This is an era that values ​​profit and efficiency. You need to run Lingbao Daotan like a listed company and treat every disciple as an employee. You must provide them with the necessary benefits and insurance. You must treat cultivation as a job and set assessments and thresholds. This is what is important."

"We can gain many benefits from cooperating with Dongda. For example, they all wear perfume, and we like to burn incense, so we can turn incense into perfume, make it a niche brand, tell a good story, and sell it to them."

"For example, clothes. Can't Taoist robes become fashionable? During the Ming Dynasty, Taoist robes became one of the most popular daily clothes for nobles and bureaucrats. We can just dig up some luxury goods and market them."

"If nothing else, just find a few disciples who are good at fortune-telling, go on America's Got Talent, give them some extra money, and build up a personal image. That's not that hard."

"If you want to make a TV series or a movie, just make your story of exorcising demons into a script, or a game, or anything else, do it. American bureaucrats are all businessmen. As long as you have money, there is nothing you can't do."

Xu Jia laughed and said, "You are still too conventional. I even accepted Hong Xiuquan, the black god, as my deputy leader. I even let you practice Taoism and Christianity. This is to make you integrate into America, change America, do things according to America's logic, find loopholes from within, and split and devour them."
