When falsehood is taken for truth, even truth becomes falsehood; when nothingness is taken for existence, even existence becomes nothingness. A false earth god: I want to be reincarnated! A real earth god: After I kill you, I'll set up a feng shui formation for you and make a nice grave mound. A false earth god: Great virtue carries all things. A true earth god: This is a fine item, take it. This treasure belongs to the virtuous. The false earth god: honest and simple. The true Earth God: Everything on Earth is my eyes and ears, and I will just quietly watch you pretend! I, who am supposed to play along with your act, will turn a blind eye! Does an earth god have to be on earth? Is it too much for me to create a celestial being and become a celestial official? P. S.: I already have a high-quality old book of two million words, "After Becoming a Taoist Physician", with an average subscription of 4,400 and a high subscription of over 22,000.
