Chapter 8, twenty-four people

Having calmed some agitation, I resumed the circulation of internal energy and noticed that the quantity of internal energy had not improved. However, my body felt as light as a ball, completely empty. The circulation of internal energy encountered no obstacles, flowing along the spine. During this process, it traveled from the tailbone, through the center of the spine, the back of the neck, and the crown of the head, then descended from the forehead along the face, finally converging in the lower abdomen. Thus, the small circulation was performed smoothly, with the transformation of essence, energy, and spirit proceeding effortlessly, as if it were a natural outcome. Moreover, the transformed essence was somewhat greater than usual.

Ah, the children have been brought out, quickly bandage these two children

The police were quite understanding. Fang Xin received disinfection and bandaging at the hospital and made a statement directly there. When Fang Xin expressed his unwillingness to appear in public and face the gratitude of the rescued child's parents, they readily allowed him to leave. Of course, this could not be completely concealed, as the electronic system would record the incident

At that moment, someone shouted: "Who has a sharp weapon?"

The Land Temple and the City God Temple, which are under the jurisdiction of the Earth God, have flourished since the Tang Dynasty. For nearly two thousand years, they have remained prosperous and have become the local guardians. Even today, the cremation towers for the ashes of citizens are often built within these temples.

Fang Xin cooked some rice porridge and prepared some side dishes. After waiting for an hour for digestion, he began to exercise on the balcony. This activity immediately made him aware of a change in his body. The first sensation was that his body felt light, as if filled with energy. When he ran, it seemed as though the wind accompanied him, and he could hardly feel the weight of his physical form.

After a moment, he took out the jade ruyi.

Fang Xin pondered for a moment, feeling at a loss. His jade ruyi possessed various extraordinary abilities, but currently, it lacked sufficient power to assist him. After a brief moment, the girl stepped out the door. When she glanced back, she realized that a bag was lying on the ground, and her expression became somewhat dazed as she had completely forgotten to take it.

Only after everything had drained did he look over, and he was taken aback

After changing clothes, the air conditioning was turned on, the foul odor gradually dissipated, and a faint fragrance began to waft through the air

Upon entering, one finds the old trees casting green shade in the courtyard. Continuing along the long corridor, one first arrives at the main hall. At this time, people come and go; although it is not crowded, it is quite lively. When it is one's turn, a stick of incense is lit, and a moment of silent prayer is offered. Then, one proceeds to the rear hall, which is actually a spirit tower. The spirit tower is divided into hundreds or even thousands of compartments, each capable of holding two urns. Each compartment is marked with a brass plaque bearing the names and significant deeds of the deceased. Family members may come to pay their respects during festivals.

Both vehicles were made of flammable materials, and flames erupted, intertwining and curling upwards. Within a few minutes, the fire shot several meters into the air, causing everyone to flee.

At this moment, the people around also came to their senses and hurried forward to take the children. One by one, the children were pulled out, and the two injured children were also brought out.

Fang Xin sat cross-legged, silently reciting in his heart. Suddenly, the second character of the green jade Ruyi shone brightly, and the golden liquid within continuously surged towards this character. Gradually, this character emitted a circle of radiance

Green jade ruyi, follow my wishes, help me transform my muscles and cleanse my marrow

Fang Xinlue hesitated for a moment, then rushed towards the bus, forcefully pulling at the door, only to get stuck. At that moment, he gathered his inner strength and shouted in anger. With a loud crack, the door was torn open. Without saying a word, he pulled the crying child out of the vehicle.

He does not know how it senses or how to obtain power

The person at the car door hurriedly went to assist, while in another vehicle, someone was already pulling the door, but it was jammed.

At that moment, the ambulance and police car arrived almost simultaneously

This City God Temple attracts a relatively large number of visitors. It is said to have been built in the first year of the Dayan You era, which was six hundred and fifty years ago. As a result, the surrounding ancient trees tower majestically, with some being over six hundred years old and others over a hundred years old. The local government has designated it as a protected site.

At this moment, he remembered the jade ruyi. He then walked to a remote corner, feeling that there were no surveillance cameras, and took it out from his pocket. In this way, even if he were discovered, it would merely be considered as having taken it out from his pocket

One day, he arrived at a temple in this district, which was the City God Temple

The entire toilet was clogged, filled with dark and red substances, and even had something resembling strands of meat, which was quite disgusting. I do not understand why there is so much filth within my body.

One, two, three! Everyone shouted in unison, and the car door was torn open a crack. At that moment, the electronics crackled loudly, flames burst forth, instantly illuminating several people covered in sweat

Sitting in the rattan chair on the balcony, one cannot help but feel a sense of tranquility. In Fang Xin's eyes, it seemed as though the world had opened a door for him. Faintly, one could see varying shades of green light on the green leaves, and every passerby appeared to have a subtle halo. His ears also became more sensitive, allowing him to hear sounds from afar

The closest ones are three planets, all of which are in rotation, surrounded by rings. The closer one gets to the center, the brighter the rings become

Hastily running to the mirror to examine myself, well, although I do not immediately appear ethereal, it does seem that my skin has become a bit fairer. More importantly, a layer of faint crystalline light has emerged, particularly noticeable in my eyes.

In this world of illustrations and books, there exists the method of muscle and marrow cleansing. However, the second character of the green jade ruyi can enhance one's physical strength and sexual abilities. Essentially, it is an energy that improves physical quality, a concept that was already contemplated in a previous life and is now aptly applied in this one

Taking a deep breath and calming his mind, the surroundings immediately darkened, and Fang Xin found himself in a familiar space he had not visited in a long time

Between the three planets, several spiral light bands extend, serving as their connection

At this moment, the sky turned overcast, and moisture filled the air. Fang Xin recalled, "The observatory predicted overcast and rainy weather in the afternoon"

In the space, the golden light radiated a captivating aura, further enhancing his sense of the enigmatic nature of the jade ruyi.

It was that driver, his head covered in blood, trapped between the seat and the airbag, unconscious and unable to be pulled out for a moment. Fang Xin's sweat began to drip down profusely. It is important to note that although gasoline is not being used now, there are still lubricants and similar substances, and the electrical equipment is also prone to catching fire

However, one day, he will unravel all the symbols and explore and obtain the true secrets and powers hidden within the jade scepter.

Fang Xin did not sustain any significant injuries, but his hands were overexerted, resulting in skin peeling and abrasions, along with half of his hair being singed. At that moment, upon seeing that the reporters had arrived, Fang Xin hurriedly got into the car and responded, "Alright"

At present, cutting off all the burnt and singed hair and washing it immediately brings a refreshing feeling

Secondly, with each action performed, one immediately reaches the desired position. Many actions that are usually difficult to execute can now be accomplished instantly. This greatly surprised Fang Xin, who immediately practiced the basic movements and found that each action was executed perfectly, and the entire nervous response had accelerated significantly.

Hastily turned on the water, flushing them all away, then opened the hot water tap and rinsed everything thoroughly

Upon returning home, I immediately took a glass of lemonade and drank it. After resting for a while, I then made my way to the living room, observing the willows in the rain and feeling a sense of ease in both body and mind

Fang Xin restrained his emotions, waiting. Not much time passed when suddenly, the jade ruyi shone brightly, and in mid-air, light rained down, cascading from above. Instantly, he felt a refreshing coolness, as if drinking sweet dew. With each breath, he sensed his body filled with vital energy, almost wanting to shout out loud.

This feeling is truly indescribable; it is not merely an enhancement in one aspect, but rather a comprehensive elevation of the entire body, inside and out. After completing the movement, Fang Xin was almost compelled to laugh heartily at the sky.

Thank you for your bravery in saving so many lives. You should also bandage yourself, and then make a record with me at hetushu.com. The situation is quite simple; with the explanation from those around, the police quickly understood the outcome of the matter. Therefore, an officer stepped forward and spoke.

In fact, Fang Xin's current circle of activities does allow for close friends, but as a traveler, he always experiences a sense of distance that is difficult to penetrate. He is aware of this feeling himself.

Fang Xin reacted very quickly; he only heard a loud bang and immediately took out his mobile phone to dial the emergency rescue number, providing the address. He then swiftly called the police station to explain the situation.

Most of the people who come to pay their respects have met a peaceful end, yet this situation inevitably evokes a sense of pity. Those nearby cast sympathetic glances at her, remaining silent.

At this moment, Fang Xinxin knew that he needed to gradually digest the situation. He did not engage in any immediate action, but instead focused on his breathing, inhaling and exhaling continuously, immersing himself in tranquility. After a long while, feeling that his essence was full and his energy abundant, he suddenly became aware, only to immediately detect a foul odor emanating from his entire body. It was only upon this realization that he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

The garden of this community is vast, filled with evergreen shrubs and trees. Not far away is another garden, where a pebble path is lined with flowers and grasses. Fang Xin walked along and noticed that at regular intervals, there were two wooden benches, with a stone table in the center. At this time, it was already the end of September, and a cool breeze blew in, refreshing the entire body

He knows that when the golden liquid within the jadeite ruyi is fully filled, it can awaken the fourth planet and grant new powers. The interior of the jadeite ruyi is akin to a galaxy containing twenty-four planets. If all can be awakened, and the main star of the jadeite ruyi is also awakened, what immense power would that entail

Aware of being overly excited, I found it difficult to suppress my emotions for a moment, so I went out and took a stroll around.

As soon as I entered, a barber exclaimed, "Oh my, buddy, what have you done? Your hair is all burnt!"

The other party said nervously: "Alright, thank you for your cooperation, citizens. Please report the situation, and we will send someone immediately"

Fang Xin could not help but frown. Although the sun was shining brightly at that moment, casting its light upon her, there was an unsettling chill emanating from the urn and the photograph, with several wisps of dark energy floating around.

After crossing several streets, I found a barbershop, preparing to get this half-burnt hair fixed

Fang Xin quickly picked up his pace and chased after her. Turning down the corridor, he noticed that she had already boarded the electromagnetic vehicle, which was starting up and speeding away. He hurriedly shouted, "Hey, miss, you haven't taken your bag!"

However, each time it is opened, the Qingyu Ruyi container expands once. If saving one person's life is considered a standard measure, then opening the first one requires saving ten people, opening the second one requires saving twenty people, opening the third one requires saving around forty people, opening the fourth one requires saving around eighty people, and so on. The further along it goes, the more difficult it becomes

One person, in a daze, quickly threw up his sword and said: "Take it!"

The photo on the urn is of a young person, seemingly in their twenties

He appeared to be a young man in his twenties. Fang Xin smiled and said, "Come on, buddy, stop chatting and get to work! I have things to do!"

Everyone lend a hand, tear the door off! As smoke began to emerge, Fang Xin realized that things were not looking good. Nevertheless, he stepped forward to shout, and immediately, several others followed suit, collectively holding onto the car door.

Although she was shouting, the car did not stop and quickly sped past. Fang Xin saw that she could not hear and was about to relax, thinking it would be better to hand the items over to the temple. Just as this thought crossed his mind, in the blink of an eye, a bus came around the corner, and before he could react, the two vehicles collided into a heap.

Upon reaching the entrance of the community, I suddenly felt a chill on my face. Looking up at the sky, I noticed a few raindrops beginning to fall.

Looking deeper inside, one can see an unfathomable darkness, with the fourth planet, the closest one, shrouded in darkness, barely visible.

Fang Xin gently stroked, having saved a total of twenty-four people, which is a significant merit. According to the saying on Earth, saving one person equates to five hundred merits, thus totaling twelve thousand merits. It is known that an ordinary person only needs three thousand merits to witness spiritual efficacy, let alone having ten thousand merits

At this moment, he remembered that he was supposed to go to Wu Maimai's house in the afternoon to teach her. However, due to other commitments, he thought for a moment and sent a message indicating that he would not be coming today. After sending the message, he relaxed and strolled down the street, eventually arriving at the bus stop and getting on the bus.

There are sparks, there are sparks! Someone is shouting below

"Go ahead, just cut it!" Fang Xin said helplessly

What does this represent? This represents qualifications

This effect is also quite natural, isn't it? Upon thinking of this, I immediately felt calm and at peace

Your hair is beyond saving, you should just get a buzz cut! This guy looked left and right, exclaiming.

1, 2, 3! The door was torn open further, and Fang Xin lunged forward, grabbing the girl and desperately pulling her outward. The flames surged towards their faces, and in an instant, the smell of burning filled the air. Once he managed to grab her and drag her out, they rolled on the ground. At that critical moment, a car behind them roared, spewing flames that shot out into the open.

Immediately rushed to the bathroom, eagerly sat on the flush toilet, and was met with a continuous sound of splashing, filling the entire room with a foul odor

Fang Xin then understood that individuals with exceptional aptitude indeed cultivate differently from ordinary people. Although physical aptitude does not entirely equate to foundational skills, it is still an important part of the foundation.

Looking into the mirror, with only half an inch of hair left, I appeared full of vigor, feeling exceptionally pleased in my heart, and particularly exhilarated while settling accounts

In a single day, saving twenty-three lives, indeed, within the originally transparent and dull jade ruyi, a layer of golden light has begun to flow, occupying one-third of it

The pedestrians who were walking were first taken aback, and then they began to emit waves of exclamations.

To achieve the transformation of muscles and the cleansing of marrow through internal cultivation and physical exercise, one should not expect to reach a significant level without at least five years of dedication

It is said that one can find rest in this tower and receive the protection of the land deity, free from the disturbance of evil spirits

The first thing the police did was to establish a connection and wake the driver, inquiring about the number of children. After the driver stated the number of children, they immediately counted them, resulting in a collective sigh of relief: twenty-one children, not one less.

On Earth, it was once seen in "The Legend of the Swordsman of Mount Shu" that Li Yingqiong, due to her fortunate destiny, encountered a red fruit while lost. She consumed dozens of them, and her blood turned as red as the fruit itself, which was about the size of longan, with white flesh and green seeds, exceptionally vibrant. Eating it could promote longevity and vitality, lighten the body and enhance vision. More importantly, it could strengthen the muscles and cleanse the marrow, increasing one's innate qualities. Therefore, when her master later discovered her, he found her to possess an ethereal aura, resembling a celestial maiden. Now, being able to achieve this state is akin to having consumed the red fruit.

The jade ruyi, which originally had one-third of its golden light, has now completely vanished, leaving only a trace of golden light.

After undergoing renovations, it adopted a landscape architecture style, centering around the temple, with pavilions, terraces, towers, and pavilions surrounding it. The main hall is dedicated to the City God, but the altar in front of the deity also represents the Earth Mother.

By chance, I encountered a girl dressed in splendid attire, standing opposite a spiritual tower's urn. She held a piece of paper (a cardboard with two short candles and a stick of incense) which she had lit, and was silently praying, while tears streamed down her beautiful face.

Fang Xin rushed over and looked, his heart sinking immediately. One of the two vehicles was that of the girl, who was already unconscious. The other vehicle was not an ordinary bus, but a school bus specifically for transporting elementary school students. The driver and two students were covered in blood, while the other children were crying in fear

Fang Xin said nothing, directly pulled out the tool, and with a swift strike at the seatbelt and airbag, the quality was impressive. After a few cuts, it surprisingly came apart, allowing him to pull the person away and retreat.
