Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

The sharp screech of tires abruptly halting on the street was piercingly harsh.

Panic-stricken crowds were like oil splashed on a boiling pot, with various shouts and horn sounds emerging one after another.

"Emergency notification—"

"A Level II emergency incident has occurred in the B3 Liuli District, tentatively classified as a terrorist attack!"

"Relevant personnel have already rushed to the scene, please avoid approaching the danger zone nearby and evacuate as soon as possible!"

"Repeat! Nearby citizens, please evacuate as soon as possible!"

Mechanical and cold announcements repeatedly echoed in the public area.

"Quick, quick!"

"Forget the bag! Life is more important than belongings!"

Ji Jingqiu and several other righteous passersby joined hands to pull people out of the overturned electric car, urging them to run towards the distance.

"There's still an unconscious girl over there!"

"Where?!"

"This window isn't broken, someone help! There are three more people inside!"

Ji Jingqiu cooperated with the people inside the car to get a window-breaking hammer, took three steps, and arrived at the scene in two.

There were three people in this car compartment, two girls and an elderly person, one of the girls was unconscious with blood on her head.

He struck the corner of the window fiercely, and web-like cracks instantly spread.

After breaking the window, he reached into the car and urged, "Quick, everyone get out!"

The only conscious and freely moving person in the car was a girl about his age.

The girl didn't try to climb out by herself; instead, she helped the elderly person, allowing those outside to lift the old person out.

Then she quickly turned back, carefully lifted the unconscious girl, gritted her teeth, and with the help of Ji Jingqiu at the window, they both climbed out of the electric car.

"Move quickly!" Ji Jingqiu urged in a low voice.

After acquiring Qi Force, his senses were enhanced. In his ears, the gunshots around the street corner were getting closer.

"Eh, benefactor, you're here too?"

At this moment,

An inopportune voice of surprise arose behind him.

The voice was somewhat familiar, or rather, freshly remembered.

Ji Jingqiu startled.

This voice...

He turned his head abruptly.

Sure enough.

The mysterious buzz-cut man he had met not long ago was standing behind him, staring intently at him with deep-set eyes that were dark and hard to discern, sinking his heart.

Li Buyi pressed his palms together and lamented, "Benefactor indeed has a compassionate heart, destined to be connected with my Buddha, only that your way of doing things has gone astray, in need of guidance from my Buddha."

Ji Jingqiu silently chanted the Visualization Method in his heart, then shouted loudly: "Master, now's not the time to recruit people, hurry and retreat, the terrorists are coming this way!"

His gaze and tone were urgent and pure, showing no other emotions.

Ji Jingqiu knew very well that this person's identity and background were not simple, likely a cult member.

Even the terror attack by the street could involve him!

Thus, he must not show any unusual emotions at this moment.

Under Ji Jingqiu's last reminder, the people rescued around him began to run towards the distance.

"Handsome guy, help me!"

The last girl coming out was struggling to support the fainted girl, looking tearfully at Ji Jingqiu.

Ji Jingqiu stepped forward naturally, hoisted the fainted girl over his shoulder, and then grabbed the arm of the girl, pulling her towards the more crowded area.

Even though he was carrying a person and pulling another, his steps were still swift as he utilized his Qi Force.

Along the way, he didn't forget to shout:

"Master, you should retreat too!"

Watching the fleeing figure of the Future Buddha's son, Li Buyi smiled faintly without stopping, his deep gaze betraying a fervor.

Truly a Future Buddha's son, born with a compassionate heart, only tainted by the filth covering this corrupt mortal world.

The world is a Fire House, and all beings are sinking in the Bitter Sea; taking lives is saving lives.

Sending them to death to spare them the Eight Sufferings of human life is true compassion!

Li Buyi sighed deeply,

"Buddha's son... really too tempting!"

He was truly afraid that he might accidentally make him a Human Candle.

Must endure, endure...

But as the saying goes, his gaze, like that of a scorpion, did not leave Ji Jingqiu's figure for a moment.

Just then.

A long, clear sound of a blade rang out, piercing through the streets and resounded next to his ear.

Li Buyi's expression changed abruptly.

His gaze instantly locked onto the direction facing the street.

The sound of the blade was not loud and clanging, like a sigh, yet it overwhelmed the fierce gunfire, stirring up a massive and violent storm that erupted from the direction facing the street!

In an instant.

The upper part of a tall building ahead tilted and collapsed, disintegrating into powder under the countless dense lights of blades.

Li Buyi saw from afar a man putting away his sword, his long hair blowing in the wind, his features gentle and beautiful.

Before the man sensed his gaze, Li Buyi turned around and left without hesitation.

…

Pulling the girl along to a crowded place, the Qi force circulating within Ji Jingqiu's body slightly relaxed.

He sighed in relief.

Only then did he notice that, due to excessive tension, he had been grasping the young girl's arm a bit too tightly.

"Sorry!"

"I'm sorry!"

He let go of her hand and apologized, only to hear the girl inexplicably apologizing to him, which made him baffled.

But the girl didn't explain much and quickly walked away with her head down.

Ji Jingqiu frowned, heard the sound of an ambulance nearby, and hurriedly carried the fainted woman to it.

After this ordeal, Ji Jingqiu saw he could not help much and decided to go home.

However, on the way out, he was stopped by the already barricading Security Bureau.

Like him, many others were stopped and were vehemently demanding the Security Bureau to let them go.

But the senior man at the forefront sharply ordered:

"Silence! We just received news, many terrorists have infiltrated the crowd and are trying to escape. We need to take you all to the Security Bureau for a strict check!"

"Nobody move! Anyone suspicious will be dealt with immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the scene exploded into chaos.

Ji Jingqiu's face also turned sour.

What kind of stupid official is this!

Should such a thing be directly announced?

If there were terrorists mixed in the crowd, wouldn't they be forced to come out and take hostages directly?!

Fortunately, the worst scenario did not occur.

Hundreds present there were all taken by the Security Bureau to the upper district.

Mixed in the crowd, Ji Jingqiu hesitated, then sent a message to his senior brother Hsun Tao, briefly explaining his situation.

In just a moment.

Hsun Tao replied: "Take care of yourself, someone will come to pick you up soon."

Ji Jingqiu didn't have to wait long.

Another fully armed team appeared in front of the Security Bureau's team.

Leading them was a young man, looking in his twenties, also in a Security Bureau uniform, who directly approached the middle-aged man.

Ji Jingqiu circulated his Qi Force to enhance his hearing, catching the dialogue between the two.

"Deputy Director Wang, among the civilians you stopped, there's a junior of my friend I can guarantee is not a fleeing terrorist, please let me take him."

"No! Captain Luo, you can't handle the responsibility of this issue! Also, if I let him go now, how would I explain it to other civilians? I personally despise such nepotism!"

The words were spoken with righteous indignation and high-mindedness.

The young man named Luo gave him a deep look, said nothing more, and turned away.

In the crowd, Ji Jingqiu sighed internally.

It looked like he'd have to spend the night at the Security Bureau.

Unexpectedly.

It wasn't long before a group from the Security Bureau appeared in front of them.

"Move aside! This matter will be fully handled by the Security Bureau!"

A harsh shout left no face for the Security Bureau's comrades.

Under the leadership of a burly man, a large group of fully armed Security Bureau officers aggressively advanced, directly driving away the nearby Security Bureau officers maintaining order.

The previously righteous Deputy Director Wang, fuming, stepped forward to negotiate.

"Ah, Deputy Director Wang is also here. Thanks for gathering everyone for us. We'll take it from here, the city council has ordered the Security Bureau to handle the aftermath."

The leader of the Security Bureau, impervious to his attitude, spoke dismissively,

"I'd say, Deputy Director Wang better think about how to explain this terrorist attack to the city council."

"By the way, I heard Deputy Director Wang's father-in-law was recently dismissed? Haha, no other implications, just curious, don't get me wrong, purely curious!"

After speaking, the burly man turned back, barking, "Get a move on, don't leave anyone behind!"

In the fiery gaze of Deputy Director Wang, the Security Bureau took over completely, transporting everyone away in several buses.
