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

Chapter 88 Refusing to Accept Your Fate

It’s really painful not being able to afford treatment for an illness!
The guardian disciple had some understanding.

After all, most people in this world suffer from poverty.

"If it's just that the disease can't be cured, that's fine!"

The man said solemnly: “What I’m afraid of is that the medical team will come and force us to receive treatment!
Especially now, after typhoons and floods, there are usually large-scale epidemics after flood disasters like this.

There are three people in our family who are sick now, which is very consistent with the characteristics of this epidemic.

What I am most worried about now is that the medical team will come and force us to receive treatment. If we are just treated on the spot, we may still be saved.

The debt may be large, but there is still hope of paying it back.

If they had sent us by ambulance to some place that had not been destroyed by typhoons and floods, and where the medical system was well established.

Then we won't be able to afford the ambulance alone, it will be a huge expense.

If the nearby city does not have a complete medical system and needs to be sent to a farther place, they usually use helicopters.

Then, this will be a bill that we may never be able to pay off in our lifetime.

With this bill on our shoulders, ordinary American people like us will never have a chance to turn things around.

Our houses and land will be taken away and auctioned off, and we will be left homeless on the streets.

If you are unlucky, you will die in a month or two. If you are lucky, you may live another three to five years.

And these children of ours will live in hell from now on!"

The Dharma Protector was shocked by this calculation. He could only mumble, "It shouldn't be that serious...

After a disaster, the people should not have to spend any money to be rescued!

This is the federal government’s responsibility after all!”

The man sneered: "Responsibility? That's a word you Orientals only use!

The federal government has no responsibility to us!

The word responsibility, as the mayor of Texas said, is the business of socialist countries and has nothing to do with America!

He said that in the face of disaster, people should rely on themselves to save themselves, rather than relying on the American federal government! "

He continued angrily:
"You don't know that if we can't pay back the more than $700 loan issued by the federal government after one year, our house and land will be auctioned off."

These Dharma protectors were originally from the Fuqing Gang and have been in America for a long time. Some of them are second-generation Chinese who lived here.

Of course, I knew the laws of America and knew that what the man said was true, but I still showed my surprise at the right time:
“A loan of over $700 shouldn’t lead to the house being auctioned off!”

"You Orientals don't know that America is a paradise for the rich, but not for us poor people..."

When the man talked about his sad moments, he wiped away his tears when he saw the women and children in the house, and told the priest in front of him about the sufferings of the poor.

Although the poor people here have houses, some even own a hilltop, and the trees on the hilltop are their source of income.

The poor people who do not have mountain forests mainly work as lumberjacks for others.

Whenever a disaster strikes, the rich take the opportunity to buy up the land, forests and houses on which the poor depend for their survival at low prices.

If someone really takes a loan of more than $700 and cannot repay it, then these houses will inevitably be auctioned.

Therefore, every disaster will create a group of homeless people. Once the poor start wandering, they basically won’t live long.

Disease, the dangers of the streets, hunger, cold, and drug addiction will likely take the lives of these homeless people in a very short time.

This is also the reason why America’s population was more than 20 million 3 years ago and still is more than 3 million now.

In the past 20 years, America has absorbed so many legal and even illegal immigrants. Where have all these people gone?

What about the population growth in the past 20 years?
The man became more and more excited as he spoke, causing the sick woman and child in the house to cry as well.

The Dharma protector disciple in front of him had no choice but to chant the Divine Mantra to Purify Heaven and Earth. As he began to recite the scriptures, a force that soothed people's hearts and dispelled the haze filled the entire room with his voice.

“The people are having a hard time, but we have no choice but to leave.

How about this, you come with me to ask for help from our Heavenly Master who holds the seal.

Maybe he will change his mind and stay despite the pressure from the Medical Affairs Committee!"

This happened to many families, and the family members followed the 25 Dharma protectors who treated them to come to Chen Yaozu and ask the archbishop not to leave with the medical team.

"Master, this is what happened. How do you think we should deal with it?"

Zhou Jiping and others reported the situation one by one to Chen Yaozu, demonstrating in front of outsiders what it means to take advantage of the situation.

Soon after, the patients or their families who came with the Taoist disciples also made their requests and pleas in a noisy manner.

In an instant, the noise became overwhelming.

“The natural world disperses the foul air.

The cave is mysterious and the Taiyuan is bright.

The mighty gods from all directions make me natural.

The Lingbao talisman is announced to the nine heavens.

Qianluo Dana, Donggang Taixuan.

Slay demons and bind evil..."

Chen Yaozu sat cross-legged in front of the ghost mirror. He didn't open his eyes, nor did he pay attention to anyone. He just suddenly began to chant the spell to purify heaven and earth.

The peaceful voice was not loud; it came out slowly and steadily into the ears of everyone amid the noise and chaos.

Including but not limited to everyone present, the sound also spread outward, far away. The Los Angeles Seal of the Capital of Power was emitting a milky white light in his arms. It was also this seal that helped him transmit the sound of chanting to a very long distance.

As the sutras were chanted, all the noise in the place gradually died down, and the troubled patients and their families slowly calmed down.

All the Taoist disciples also stood up straight and followed Chen Yaozu to recite scriptures.

This sound has a special magic that attracts everyone who hears it and makes them want to come and take a look.

Soon, everyone in the gathering place came.

Outside this gathering place, houses and ruins had been cleared, and those people who could barely live in them also came after hearing the noise.

Finally, when Chen Yaozu and his disciples finished reciting the Divine Mantra of Purifying Heaven and Earth for the 10th time, there were already six or seven hundred people present.

There were even many people who were chanting along with the peaceful sounds of the scriptures that they could not understand, and some were even making the sign of the cross on their chests and praying.

Chen Yaozu stopped chanting, sat steadily, and looked at the hundreds of people gathered in three layers in front of him.

He did not respond to the people's demands, but started telling a story.

“In fact, before I came to America, I often heard that Europeans and Americans have the habit of discussing bloodline.

The descendants of nobles often believe that their bloodline is very noble because their ancestors were nobles.

They often ask out of curiosity. They are very curious why Orientals don’t care about their ancestry!
They even despise Orientals because they have no aristocratic blood and are just a bunch of country bumpkins!

At that time, a friend of mine said that in our East, the ancestors of every person have a glorious history.

In other words, every one of us Orientals is of noble blood.

Nobles are not uncommon among us!
So in our place, only pets are considered with pedigree, while most people probably don’t care about these things, as they think it’s cheap!

We usually believe that nothing in this world is innate, and only the achievements you make yourself are your own. "

After he finished speaking, he quietly looked at the six or seven hundred people in front of him who were attracted by the sound of his chanting.

Looking at the six or seven hundred people waiting silently for his next words, he sorted out his thoughts and continued: "

In Europe and the United States, talk shows are very popular. Whether you are a man or a woman, or any of the 96 genders, you can stand on the stage and do a talk show.

But not in our East!"

After he finished speaking, he paused and glanced at everyone in front of him. He waited until their curiosity was aroused before continuing:
“In our East, generally only women do talk shows, and there are huge obstacles for men to do talk shows.

Especially if the performance place is a tavern,
The audience was full of men!

Because the performers usually start with a dirty joke.

Then let’s talk about the expensive bride price. Maybe you don’t know what bride price is, but you can think of it as the expensive cost of getting married.

Then I talked about my recent drop in income.

And the troubles I've encountered recently...

Then there is the midlife crisis, family disharmony, overtime work, and unemployment...

Next, a reversal that you would never expect might happen. He raised his arms and shouted: Comrades, I think the world should not be like this..."

hiss……

Such a familiar smell!

Tavern speech?

Chen Yaozu paused for a moment, waiting for the person in front of him to digest his previous words and react, with a look of shock on his face, before he continued with the next topic.

“In the West, aristocrats are always aristocrats!

Whether in Europe or America, the superstructure that controls this world is entirely made up of aristocrats.

The commander-in-chief of America must be of European royal blood to take office.

You all know this!
But why is aristocratic blood so common in the East, and even everyone is said to be descended from aristocratic blood?
Actually, it was a long time ago, more than 2000 years ago!

The same is true in the East: nobles are always nobles, commoners are always commoners, and slaves are always slaves.

That time was called the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Warring States Period. The rulers who managed this country would always be the rulers, and the lower class would always be the lower class.

Until suddenly one day, during the Qin Dynasty, a man named Chen Sheng and another named Wu Guang shouted to the sky, the earth and a group of people, "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers all of different kinds?" Then the sky of the Eastern world changed.

From that moment on, Oriental people have imprinted the spirit of perseverance and refusal to accept fate in their blood and genes.

No matter whether our ancestors had noble or ordinary blood, it cannot determine what my background is now or what kind of achievements I can make in the future.

Even becoming a king, marquis, general or prime minister is not based on bloodline, but is achieved through one's own efforts.

Rely on your own efforts!

No one is born to be what he is!
Therefore, for more than 2000 years, the ancestors of today's Oriental people have included kings, generals, marquises, and prime ministers.

It depends on not accepting your fate!
Therefore, in the thousands of years of Oriental history, there have been rogues who became the greatest emperors, beggars who became the toughest emperors, and poor people who became prime ministers and left their names in history.

There were also poor prisoners, or shepherd boys herding cattle, or horse slaves who became generals and intimidated foreign tribes.

In the past hundred years, a group of farmers and workers have built one of the most powerful countries in the world.

It’s because these people just refuse to accept their fate!
So they got what they deserved!

But what makes me sad is that in the West, in Europe, and in America.

There is actually a group of people who think they are the freest, but they never dare to resist. What they think is a fight for freedom is actually just accepting their fate!

Yes, I am talking about you!"
