I'm telling fortunes in North America. I'm really not a wizard.

Chapter 84 Li Jianguo's words

what?
Chen Yaozu was a little confused by what this uncle Runren said.

"Teacher Li, what do you mean by that?"

That's right!

This is another person who is a teacher, but this one studied philosophy and history, and also has the title of professor.

In China, he is a true middle class, even a high-level intellectual, and his name is also very characteristic of the times.

This uncle from Runren is called Li Jianguo. He will retire in a few years. If he hadn't been so depressed as to run to America, he would definitely live a very comfortable life in China.

Li Jianguo seemed to have something stuck in his throat and couldn't get it out until he spoke out:

“Mr. Chen, you still plan to use your own magical powers and these twenty or thirty legal gunmen to protect the incoming supplies.

How should I put this matter...

It's like the president of Peking University or Tsinghua University taking his students to fight with some street thugs.

Not to mention that this is not in line with your identity, just say that the people under your command might be injured or even killed in the battle.

Even if only one or two people die, it will be a heavy loss. After all, the people who may deal with you next may not be ordinary disaster victims with guns.

What’s more, the things that happened some time ago should have alerted you that this way of handling things will not do any good to your preaching!

do you think so? "

Chen Yaozu was amazing. Before this, they had been to many towns, cities and counties, burying corpses, clearing roads, treating patients, and even distributing food to those who had no food.

But the amount of food was limited. After all, Chen Yaozu only won a little over 1400 million when he gambled in Las Vegas. Although the supplies he bought were enough, they were limited after all.

There are also the expenses of helicopters and cars, and the wages of the personnel. These people get paid two to three hundred yuan a day, and 500 people is a lot!
Therefore, apart from the food and some supplies that must be used to meet the consumption of the 500 people in the disaster area, not much can actually be distributed.

In the previous town, no more food supplies were distributed because there was not enough food.

As a result, that night, more than 20 people gathered and surrounded the rescue team with guns, forcing them to distribute the food and supplies that they had reserved for their own use.

This was the first time that Li Jianguo witnessed the magic of Mr. Chen. He originally thought that Mr. Chen and his disciples registered the sect just to make it easier for the nine people to enter the disaster area.

But I didn't expect that there really are mysterious powers in this world.

At that time, the leader of the riot was giving an impassioned speech to his improvised gang, insisting that these wealthy Eastern men hand over supplies, money, food, and jobs.

After all, they have heard that these so-called disaster relief volunteers each earn two to three hundred yuan a day.

The disaster subsidy given to these disaster victims by the federal government is actually a loan of US$720 a year.

Moreover, these loans have to be repaid after one year.

If they cannot pay back the money, their land and houses will be auctioned at a low price.

But these Oriental people can actually earn two to three hundred US dollars a day. The work remuneration they receive for two or three days is more than the one-year disaster subsidy loan issued by the government.

So they thought that it was these Runren volunteers from the East who took their jobs.

They need food supplies and jobs, and shamelessly ask these Dongfangrun people to give their jobs back to them.

Otherwise, they wouldn't mind having a gunfight with these wealthy Eastern guys and using the weapons in their hands to seize the supplies and money they deserve.

The leader was speaking passionately, but before he could finish his words, the shotgun in his hand suddenly and inexplicably shot at one of his closest men. If it was just one shot, it could be considered an accidental discharge.

After knocking down the first person, the leader of the trouble quickly turned the gun and pointed it at another person.

This frightened the troublemaker, who was originally stunned, and he quickly fought back and beat the man to death.

But the matter was not over yet. After this man fell down, another person continued this inexplicable attack, injuring countless people in an instant.

Most of these people were militiamen, and they inexplicably started killing each other in front of these Runren volunteers.

One night, there were continuous gunshots. The people in the camp woke up and found that there were more than a dozen armed bandits wandering around outside their camp like headless flies.

Then they just shot at each other and killed each other.

These things cannot be blamed on the rescue team. Besides, whenever they arrive at a place, they habitually install surveillance outside the camp.

The occurrence of these events made the people who had originally thought of these Taoists as medical geniuses suddenly realize that there really are mysterious and unpredictable powers in this world.

However, these inexplicable incidents made it impossible for the entire rescue team to stay in the local area, and they often had to move to another location after treating the patients.

"Mr. Chen, if you only have the medical skills to treat others, I can understand that you are a doctor with a kind heart.

But it is obvious that you are practitioners with mysterious abilities, and this time you have entered the disaster area to rescue the affected people.

It is even possible that they came here to preach and practice!

But along the way, your actions made me feel like a headless fly, without purpose and without plan.

How to do this well!

On the contrary, I was envied because I didn’t do well enough. It’s not a pleasant feeling to be hated even though I did good things! ”

As Li Jianguo was speaking, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: This is the shortcoming of these Taoist sects, they don't know how to manage, and they don't have a systematic understanding of what missionary work is.

If you change to Buddhism, you will see how prosperous the Buddhist tradition is in the world. They are good at promoting their own ideas, that is, preaching.

Chen Yaozu felt that what he said made some sense. Although he did not come here to preach, he was just busy doing good deeds to accumulate merit so that he, the forty-nine guardian disciples, the Brazilian female ghost, and the ghost mirror Hu Ying could all gain merit in the whole process.

But it's really unpleasant to feel that you do good things to help others, but in the end you don't get a good reputation.

Although this old man Li's guess was not quite correct, what he said made sense.

"Teacher Li, I'm listening, please continue!"

Seeing that Chen Yaozu had listened, Li Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief. People who are able to recognize their own shortcomings are more likely to listen to advice.

What I fear most are those who have some skills and think they know everything and don’t need to learn anything. They are rotten wood.

Even if such people have some ability, it won't last long.

The fact that Mr. Chen in front of him was willing to listen to his advice made him feel warmer.

“In fact, we are outsiders, and no matter how many good things we do, once we come into conflict with the locals, we will be resented.

This is a reality that cannot be changed!
However, as the saying goes, poverty and bad waters breed unruly people. After experiencing such a disaster, order collapses, and it is more likely for crimes such as theft, robbery, kidnapping and fraud to occur.

There were no more than 30 of us with guns, but there were so many supplies in the car, we were like fat sheep.

Therefore, we often attract the coveted eyes of bandits. Since someone is targeting us, we cannot easily fight against them.

What's more, this time, the supplies were sent by the richest man, so naturally there cannot be a small amount. The most important one is the Starlink signal communication device. Is there anyone who wants to destroy this thing?
impossible!
What if someone incites the public to steal supplies and destroy equipment?
This is more dangerous!"

It does make sense when you put it that way. Ma Kaiyuan must have sent a lot of things, the most important of which is the Starlink signal device. Someone must want to destroy it.

And most likely, it is justified.

The National Guard and the like don't even need to incite the people as Li Jianguo said. They can just take away the materials and signal devices on the grounds that they are a hazard to safety. Even if they can't touch your people, or don't want to touch your people, they can definitely take away the materials and signal devices.

They have guns, cannons, tanks and planes, can you still resist?

So he motioned to the old man to continue.

After receiving the signal, Li Jianguo quickly continued:

"As the saying goes, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others!

In fact, it is impossible to guard against.

In this case, we need to change our thinking.

The great mentor once said in April 1945: The people, and only the people, are the driving force behind the creation of world history.

In 41, he also said that the masses are the real heroes, while we ourselves are often naive and ridiculous.

In 1955, it was said that the masses have unlimited creativity, they can organize themselves and march to all places and departments where they can exert their strength..."

hiss……

Hearing the old man's words, Chen Yaozu took a breath, he seemed to understand.

"What Teacher Li meant was that we came to the disaster area to do good things, so these disaster victims are the people.

We need to mobilize the masses and get them on our side?"

"That's right!"

Li Jianguo nodded. Sometimes when talking to smart people, there is no need to go around in circles.

"So what should we do?"

Don't be ashamed to ask questions. A great man once said that if you don't understand, you should learn from those who do, treat them as your teachers and learn from them seriously. This is not shameful.

Chen Yaozu deeply agreed that the old man in front of him was quite something.

Li Jianguo saw that he was recognized, and his eyes were filled with excitement: "Mr. Chen, can you tell me first, every time you go to a place, you have to set up an altar, what is this mirror used for?
Let me guess first, this mirror is usually placed in the place where patients are treated, and it is helpful in treating diseases and saving lives, right?"

Indeed, this vision is good, Chen Yaozu nodded: "Yes, this mirror can absorb the ghost energy, death energy, evil energy, and disease energy caused by the disaster.

So that these places will not have major epidemics again."

The more Chen Yaozu spoke, the brighter Li Jianguo's eyes became.

"oops!

I said, sir, you are too rough! "

He paced back and forth excitedly: "Such a good thing should not be left here quietly.

Instead, there should be a grand ceremony with great fanfare. Even if the Luotian Grand Ceremony cannot be held, at least a big dance should be performed in front of everyone.

Let all the places we pass through know that the reason the plague no longer recurs there is not because of how well they did after the disaster, but because of the ceremonies we held in those places to drive away the plague.

This is not unwarranted credit, it should have been ours!"

If it weren't for the decline of Taoism, such a thing would never have occurred to me. If a new monk came, he would have to hold a water and land ceremony for several days and nights!
Moreover, what does this water and land ritual highlight? A sense of ritual!
Then take the opportunity to publicize the good deeds you have done among the people and gain their support.

Saving lives and curing illnesses should not be done silently. When you are treating patients, you should talk less about the difficulty of the treatment and show off your own contributions.

Isn't this supporter here?

Now that there are so many supporters, will those who want to take action or who want to be incited to take action still have supporters?

You have to know that this is a red state. Almost everyone here has a gun. With supporters, are you still afraid that your supplies and equipment will be snatched away?
Mr. Chen is still young!

I have no idea how the sense of ritual can help conquer people's hearts.

"Mr. Chen, you are like this.

After the supplies arrive, the first thing to do is to let the victims know what sect the person distributing the supplies to them is from and who you are.

Then, we promote our doctrines and ideas.

Then you can cure diseases and save lives. Curing diseases and saving lives cannot be done directly.

There must be a ceremony, a complicated yet elegant ritual, it is a must.

The last thing is to save people!
After rescuing people, a water and land ceremony will be held to tell all the victims that the disaster here has been driven away by us.

This is the only way to win people’s hearts!
Moreover, among our 500 Orientals, many are not doing their best.

The fittest should survive, and those who work diligently should be rewarded, while those who do not should be sent back to Fatty Ding Square.

Then we can recruit believers right here!

These believers are all armed. With them in hand, even if the National Guard comes, they will have to think carefully if they want to confiscate our supplies and equipment.

This is what we should do on this disaster relief mission!"

In fact, in such a hurry, what Li Jianguo said was not very clear.

But he talked about whatever came to his mind, and the key point was that there must be a sense of ceremony.

If a religion wants to recruit believers and preach, it must have its own rituals.

There is nothing, you think you are a Zen Buddhist!
Chen Yaozu was a little confused, but he still understood: "Isn't it a bit complicated?"

Li Jianguo shook his head: "It's not complicated. The complicated and elegant rituals, our teachings and ideas, and our ability to treat patients can win people's hearts.

The Orientals under our command can be more loyal through the survival of the fittest, and we can recruit local believers to make our armed forces stronger.

Only with armed forces can we have the ability to protect ourselves!

Locals fighting against locals have more advantages than us outsiders.
This is the most important thing! "

Makes sense!

Chen Yaozu was a little confused. He didn't understand the reason for this for a moment, but he knew that this was right.

The helicopter arrived that afternoon.

Brought a lot of supplies and equipment.

These supplies and equipment were seen by local disaster victims and the local National Guard.

What does it mean that a storm is brewing?
Now it is the time. Chen Yaozu knows that what old man Li said is right, but it is too late to make any arrangements now.

You still have to rely on your own ghost mirror!

It's like a ghost!
