Chapter 9: Starting from Scratch

Early the next morning, bidding farewell to Master and Uncle, I boarded a Northwest Airlines plane to Shanghai, China. I was ordered to quit my master and go out of the mountains to participate in the extensive training and experience in the land of China, and to understand the myriad worlds, which is a compulsory course for the people of my Wuheng sect. Moreover, I am still shouldering the unfulfilled mission of my ancestors of the Wuheng Sect for 1,800 years - to find the dragon veins of heaven and earth, and first of all, I must find my own dragon veins. It was also an extraordinary day in my life, as I traveled overseas with Master since I was two years old, and today, 23 years later, I am back in China.

There is no trace of China in my memory, and I have no memory of being two years old. Although the United States has been paying attention to the development of the motherland in recent years, and is almost familiar with all kinds of events that have occurred in this ancient and suffering country, especially overseas, and can also look at China's current situation more objectively, what kind of experience and deeds will a Chinese prodigal son who grew up abroad since he was a child and has been immersed in Chinese metaphysics return to the motherland at this moment?

Thinking of this, I sighed softly, and the figures and teachings of the master and uncle had appeared in front of me and in my ears again...... Finally, after 23 years of living in their infancy, I left them, left them far away, and flew alone, feeling and experiencing my own life fortune and creative future in the red dust.

Walking out of the airport, standing under the blue sky and white clouds, feeling the breeze of China and Shanghai, I didn't notice it even though it was hot in July. The pedestrians around me were all wearing T-shirts, but I was still wearing a black trench coat, which stood out in the crowd, which really caused some people to be weird. My suitcase contained my clothes and daily toiletries, and then my Wuheng Sect Sacred Texts, the four volumes of the Dongxuan.

Where do I go? I've thought about this question over and over again on the plane. Since I have come to the land of China, in order to train my mind and improve my understanding, the magnificent mountains and rivers, the melodious pastoral streams and wilderness are my destinations, of course, in order to understand the mundane and miscellaneous world, the market town with concentrated population is also my place. Now that we are in Shanghai, which is at the forefront of China's reform and opening up, I will first go to the central city of Shanghai. Obviously, the airport is near the suburbs of the countryside. Immediately, I beckoned for a taxi.

As soon as the taxi came by, I was reminded of a serious problem - money.

I didn't have a penny of cash on me, and when I left New York, I thought to myself that in Shanghai, China, the dollar must be exchanged for yuan. I still have hundreds of thousands of dollars on my credit card, and I'll get some out when I get back to China. But I listened to the flight attendants on the plane and reminded me that in China, you can't directly swipe credit cards and bank cards in taxis, and even if you can, you can't swipe dollars. So, as a matter of urgency, I need to find a bank to convert dollars into RMB.

Saying sorry to the driver, I walked to a Chinese bank near the airport. However, when I was told by the bank clerk that my credit card and bank card had all been withdrawn and cancelled, my mind went blank and I couldn't say a word for three minutes while standing in the bank!

All the nearly $1 million deposits in my cards were withdrawn!

I calmed down for a long time, and after a moment's thought, I threw my hand in anger, took out my phone, and started dialing. I see, it's obvious!

But I was just about to dial it, but my phone rangβ€”

"Little cub, hahaha, don't resent me, this is the rule of my Wuheng sect, all disciples quit their teachers and go out of the mountain to practice, it is forbidden to take away a penny of property in the sect, the vast world, righteousness lasts forever, life is endless, whether it is lingering or soaring, it is born from nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, there is nothing, this is the basic gist of my Chinese metaphysics, and as the most profound masterpiece of metaphysics, the Wuheng Sect adheres to and implements this basic gist - I have nothing to come from, and I don't take a penny. The first step is to learn to survive and then you can make something out of nothing. Little cub, you have lived with us for 23 years, and from this moment on, you have truly gone from birth to accession, from nothing to being, and everything depends on your creation. The bad old man chattered on the phone, "Hahaha, that's why your credit card is handled in my capacity, and I can cancel this card at any time." Hahahaha......"

I'm on fire! I believe that even on a cold day, I can raise the temperature around me by 10 degrees as soon as I stand there! Speechless for a long time, I trembled my lips, gritted my teeth and said, "The more than one million dollars are from the organization, but, but, but there are more than ten thousand dollars in one of my bank cards that I have earned from selling books and newspapers in the past few years!! It's my own money! You bad old man, for the sake of my hard work in the past two years, leave me hundreds of thousands! I'm! I don't have a penny on me, what do you tell me to do? I can't walk an inch now, I'm still 40 kilometers away from the center of Shanghai! ”

"Cut! Your mobile newsstand was also organized to pay you to get it on Fifth Avenue in the best location, and the more than $10,000 you earned naturally went to the property of the party. Hahahaha! Little cub, don't blame the master for being ruthless, this is the rule set by my ancestors, if you don't have money, you will be unable to move an inch and starve to death on the streets, how can you become a disciple of my Wuheng Sect? OK, I still want to play Plants vs. Zombies 3, I don't have time to entangle with you, take care, I can do it myself......"

I wanted to slam my phone to the ground, and I put up with it considering that it was one of the few permanent possessions I had right now.

A person who has never understood the true meaning of money for more than 20 years, and who has millions of dollars stored on his card at all times, and who has never been moved by the billions of dollars in cash in the organization's coffers, cannot be called a rich child. After all, the children of rich families know how to enjoy and consume, and extravagance and profligacy are their most obvious characteristics.

Since I was a child, I was instilled with the concept of jealousy by my master and uncle, and in the course of my twenty-five-year-old life, money was just a mathematical symbol to me. Although I know the beauty of money, because I never deliberately pursue those wonders, too much money is just waste paper in my eyes. How can I have time to enjoy the "Cave Xuan" method when I have devoted myself to it? The clothes were custom-made by the servants, the food was bought or made by the servants, and the servants either drove me to meet and see them off, or someone booked tickets for me......

But it was only at this moment that I realized in an instant that money must be spent by itself after all.

Although he chanted over and over again that a manly husband has his own way of survival and money, and the way of heaven and earth, he can't embarrass Wuhengzong...... But when I suddenly came out of the pile of money and ended up penniless, I was still at a loss and at a loss.

Obviously, if I, a young man with a good demeanor and a bright future, don't want to squat on the crowded street and hold a blank piece of paper with the words "I am a cashier of a company in the mainland, unfortunately I was cheated out of my money by unscrupulous businessmen in Shanghai, and now I can't return home, thank you for the donation of well-wishers", then starting from scratch is my only way out.

If it is in the United States, there are some customers who come to us to do Xuanmen business, and I will charge them at least 100,000 million dollars for a single order, but that is in the United States, and that is the circle that my master and uncle have been operating for more than 20 years. In front of me, I am in Shanghai, where I am not familiar with life! Although it is my homeland, I am a complete stranger. Moreover, in today's China, the gentleman who looks at fortune telling and feng shui and the old man with a bull's nose are flying all over the sky and are as many as cow hair! Most of the common people don't believe in these charlatans who ruined my metaphysical court and pretended to be deceived, so how did I make my first business in China? What's more, the business done by the people of my Wuheng Sect must be very mysterious, and the medicine will cure the disease, so the fees are extremely high. I just arrived in China, and I was asked how to do a big business?

Why don't you call me a young man in a suit and leather shoes squatting on the side of a moat, posing for a Zhou Yi gossip, shouting for fortune telling? When the world saw me at this time, it was nothing more than a sentence of "If you do this at a young age, you have to pretend to be a little vicissitudes of life before cheating"......

I just know that **** is in this industry, how cruel and harsh the living environment in China is!

I can't take the car, the road of thousands of miles, starting from the feet, good guys, here is nearly 40 kilometers away from the center of Shanghai!

Wiping my sweat, I took a step.
