People in America started by developing the Yellow Turban Army.
Chapter 24 So it was the Way of Peace!
"If you want to help those homeless people who are starving and destitute, I suggest you take care of your own problems first!"
After the initial excitement subsided, Lin Zhiyong regained his composure and, upon hearing Chen Ping'an's idea to help the homeless, did not immediately agree.
There's an old saying in China: "Poor mountains and bad waters breed unruly people!"
There is also a saying: "Only when the granaries are full can one know etiquette."
What do you think these homeless people in America are?
Is it something you can just casually offer help to?
And it was just helping someone by giving them a bowl of water!
Chen Ping'an was taken aback by what he said, then realized it made perfect sense: "So, what do you think we need to prepare?"
Once Lin Zhiyong calmed down, he didn't mince words: "First, you need an identity!"
This identity can be real or fake, temporary or permanent.
What gives you the right? What qualifications do you have to help others?
The aid provided was nothing more than a cup of water or a bowl of water.
Actually, you don't need any special status to help others. Every day, there are a bunch of Chinese business owners at Ding Pangzi Square who bring food that is about to expire to those people.
So you don't need any identity to help others, but if you help others with a bowl of water or a cup of water instead of food.
We'll have to think about it!
Previously, Lin Zhiyong had suggested that when giving food to others, they should also be given a cup of talisman water.
Ask Chen Ping'an if this is okay?
If possible, using talismanic water to help others would make the task much simpler.
Chen Ping'an didn't really know if it would work, but he could try it and use this method to break the deadlock.
It's much more effective than starting by offering someone a bowl of talismanic water and telling them, "Drink this and you'll be full."
In Lin Zhiyong's words, people who are still alive on the streets of America tend to develop some mental problems over time. They may be paranoid, overly vigilant, or irritable.
Let alone the absurd idea of simply giving someone a bowl of talisman water and telling them it would fill them up, even if you handed them food and told them they could have a bowl of water along with it, they would still be wary of you.
Do you know?
People who wander the streets can easily disappear!
They might even suspect you're trying to harm him if you give him a bowl of water out of the blue!
So, just as Lin Zhiyong said, they need an identity!
"Since you cultivate, you must be a Taoist!"
There are many Taoist temples in the United States, and there may even be more people who believe in Taoism than in China!
You can be a Taoist priest!
A religious person!
Thus, using water to bestow blessings becomes perfectly logical!
Therefore, things cannot be rushed. Lin Zhiyong needs to ask his lawyer to register a religion for Chen Ping'an.
That's right!
Chen Ping'an needs to register a religion first, and then order several Taoist robes from Amazon.
"Registering a religion only takes a few days. As for the name of the religion, you can come up with your own lineage!"
After consulting with a lawyer, Lin Zhiyong, holding his phone, asked Chen Pingan if he had thought of a name for the religion.
"The Way of Peace!"
Chen Ping'an's mouth moves faster than his brain. When asked about the name of his lineage, he blurted out those three words without thinking.
Lin Zhiyong didn't think twice; he heard it and told the lawyer on the other end.
The lawyer on the other end was also Chinese, and they communicated in Mandarin. Upon hearing the religious name, he paused for a moment, then earnestly confirmed, "Mr. Lin, are you sure you really want to use this name?"
Lin Zhiyong hadn't quite grasped the situation yet, and casually said, "It's alright, it's just about establishing a religion so we can go out and help the poor, homeless, and so on."
The lawyer on the other end of the phone broke out in a cold sweat. Was Taiping Road supposed to be helping the poor and homeless?
This seems to be a good match for my major!
However, since the client made this request, and American law does not restrict people from using this traditional name.
Then he simply stopped caring!
In fact, during the days they waited for their Taoist robes and religious registration to be completed, Chen Ping'an and Lin Zhiyong also went to places with many homeless tents to distribute food and water.
Of course, there was also Chen Ping'an's talisman water.
Unfortunately, it's not very useful!
Chen Ping'an was certain that these people could not possibly be living in poverty or suffering from hunger and cold.
But there was no response, just no response!
It's possible that the system thought he used the talisman water from the food bag, not water specifically for casting talismans.
So it doesn't count; it doesn't count as using talisman water to heal these people.
But as Lin Zhiyong said, people like him, with their thick Chinese-accented English and fair complexions, are different from the Chinese Americans who have been in the Americas for a long time and have a tanned brownish-yellow complexion. You can tell at a glance that they just came from the East.
Such people are generally not trusted by the homeless.
So let him be patient for a few days, wait a few days until the religious license is issued and his Taoist robes arrive by express delivery. When he wears these belongings, he will look very classy.
At that time, let alone giving someone a bowl of water, even if you burn a talisman for them and make them eat the ashes, they might still eat it.
People in America are quite superstitious!
It's different from what we have in China.
Chen Pingan could only agree; after all, haste makes waste, and that saying is very true.
During these few days, Chen Ping'an took his land documents and green card to apply for an American credit card, and then used these documents to apply for a long-term phone card.
Then, Lin Zhiyong took him to contact someone and learn to drive. Learning to drive here is very simple, much simpler than in China.
Taking a written exam, what's so difficult about that?
The written exams here need to cater to students from the so-called public education system who, even after completing 12th grade, still can't understand an essay.
Therefore, in the United States, for any certification exam, such as a driver's license, the written test is usually very, very simple.
For an Easterner, there's no need to learn it; as long as it aligns with their understanding, it's easy to pass.
Therefore, the written test was very easy.
Next came driving practice and the road test. With Lin Zhiyong, a seasoned veteran, everything seemed relatively easy, and I got my driver's license in just a few days.
Even faster than a driver's license is a religious license.
If the name "Taipingdao" were posted on domestic online platforms, it might cause some waves.
After all, the Heavenly General Zhang Jiao's words, "The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise; in the year of Jiazi, great fortune will come to the world," overthrew the Han Dynasty.
In the United States, apart from Lin Zhiyong's lawyer carefully confirming it twice at the beginning,
Basically, obtaining this religious license was not an obstacle.
However, when Lin Zhiyong received the title, he was completely dumbfounded.
"I was wondering why this act of using talismanic water to help refugees seemed so familiar; it turns out it's from the Taiping Dao!"
