Chapter 440 A Traffic Accident

Ding Ning woke his Grandma up. Before she could blame him, Ding Ning said a string of words, “Grandma, don’t talk now. Go to practice quickly. Otherwise, the Spiritual Energy will be wasted.”

Meditation Master had a helpless look on her face, but the dense, fog-like Spiritual Energy made her feel that all her holes in the skin had opened, showing a strong desire to breathe.

“I can’t waste the Spiritual Energy here.” Meditation Master thought. When matters had reached this stage, she no longer turned down his suggestion. Instead, she sat cross-legged in meditation and entered the state of cultivation.

Ding Ning took a deep breath and showed a warm smile. Finally, he repaid his Grandma’s favor this time.

Although paying and repaying favors couldn’t be used to describe the love between families, Ding Ning owed his Grandma a life. Thus, saving her life and cultivation still made him feel very pleasant.

Ding Ning checked the time. It was already over ten in the evening. He hesitated a little and sent a text message to his sister, telling her that he was at Grandma’s place and would not go back tonight.

His sister’s message came quickly. “What did Grandma tell you?”

Ding Ning was a little puzzled. “Shouldn’t she ask about Grandma’s condition or anything like that? Why does she care much more about what Grandma has told me?”

But Ding Ning didn’t overthink. He briefly told her how he had treated Grandma.

Obviously, his sister became very excited—she called him directly.

Ding Ning hurriedly stepped out of meditation room, lest he disturb Grandma’s cultivation.

“Have Grandma’s wounds healed? Has her cultivation recovered? How is she now? How did you do that?”

When the phone was connected, there came a stream of questions from Ding Ning’s sister.

While scratching his head, Ding Ning told her what had happened in detail. Her sister was silent for a long time. Still, in a state of shock, she said, “Fortunately, you came to Grandma’s rescue. I never thought things would be so serious.”

“Sister, were you also there when Grandma rescued me?” Ding Ning asked.

There seemed to be something flashing across Ding Ning’s mind, but he couldn’t catch the point.

“I… I wasn’t there… Errr, wasn’t it Xiahou who sent you there? He told me. Right, he told me that.”

Ding Qianlie faltered. She was obviously flurried. Before Ding Ning could say anything, she continued, “It’s getting late. I have to get up early tomorrow. Tell Grandma that I’ll go to visit her after these busy two days. So be it.”

With a slam, she rang off.

With a puzzled look, Ding Ning listened to the busy tone on his phone. “What happened to her? She actually hung up the phone before I said good night. Why is she in such a hurry?”

“Also, I just casually asked her if she was nearby when Grandma rescued me, but why did she react so strongly?” Ding Ning thought.

He scratched his head, his face full of doubts because his sister acted so unusually.

But soon, Ding Ning was too busy to think about this. A powerful aura rose from his Grandma’s meditation room. It approached overwhelmingly like a storm and covered above, which made everyone feel short of breath. It seemed that the entire Renshou Nunnery was shrouded in the heavenly mighty power.

The lights in the Buddha Hall were continually lit up. One after another, nuns pushed the door open and walked out in panic. They whispered with each other, “Is it going to thunder and rain?” “The air suddenly became fresh before, but why does it make people feel so depressed and uncomfortable now?” Someone with fertile imagination even exclaimed, “Is there any Buddha making its presence?”

Only Ding Ning was not shocked but instead delighted. He did not expect that Grandma could regain her cultivation and make a breakthrough by the way. Oh, right! It suddenly occurred to Ding Ning that Mermaid once said only one Spiritual Crystal of Water at the highest grade was enough for him to break through to the God Martial Arts Realm. Today, he gave Grandma the two highest grade Spiritual Crystals of Water. Even if she only absorbed 30% of them, it was enough for her to reach a slightly higher realm.

He just didn’t know which level of Real Martial Arts Realm his Grandma was in before, and this breakthrough had brought her to which level.

A few old nuns came to the Renshou Nunnery and went around it to check, but they didn’t ask Ding Ning anything. They seemed to have understood what was going on. In awe, they cast a glance at the meditation room. Then they calmed these nuns down and asked them to go back and take a rest in their rooms.

The immense pressure did not last for too long, only about half an hour. Then the weather seemed to clear up after a storm. The immense pressure that made people feel depressed dropped. Everything around was as calm as before now.

Ding Ning pushed in, smiled at Meditation Master, and said, “Grandma, congratulations to you for your recovery and the breakthrough!”

“I didn’t expect that I could make a breakthrough. You disobedient child! Come on in quickly.”

Meditation Master was obviously in a good mood. She blamed while smiling.

Now she looked more than 20 years younger than before. Moreover, most of the wrinkles on her face had disappeared. She no longer appeared lifeless. Instead, she burst from head to foot with health and spirits. If she didn’t wear the monk robe, she would look like a beautiful woman in her early forties.

“Grandma, which level are you in now?”

Ding Ning didn’t stand on ceremony. He leaned toward his Grandma with a smile, and felt free to ask.

But in his mind, he thought narcissistically, “Grandma looks so pretty when she appears younger. No wonder I am so handsome, I must have inherited perfect genes.”

Well, it was true that Ding Ning inherited his Grandma’s genes. He had some similarities between the eyebrows with his Grandma’s. Whey they stood together, people would know they were related by blood at first glance.

Meditation Master gazed at Ding Ning and sighed helplessly, “Perhaps, this is my fate.”

Since she met her grandson for the first time, her state of mind that had settled as calm as still water was disturbed. Saving Ding Ning was not what she wanted. After all, according to the rule made by her ancestors, disciples from the Great Snow-mountain sect had the responsibility to defeat and demolish demons. Ding Ning, who had gained Chiyou’s inheritance, should also be regarded as a demon, but she couldn’t overlook her tie of kinship with him after all.

“Thanks to you, I have regained my previous level of cultivation and reached the ninth realm of Real Martial Arts Realm,” Grandma answered.

“Grandma, take these. They are good for your cultivation,” Ding Ning said.

He knew that Ancient Warriors needed the resource of spiritual aura more than anything else. Thus, he hurriedly took out a handful of Spiritual Crystals of Water and handed them to her. He didn’t give her the highest grade Spiritual Crystals of Water for fear of scaring his Grandma.

“Where did you get these Spiritual Crystals of Water?”

Meditation Master asked, feeling shocked to see so many Spiritual Crystals of Water in her hand. Obviously, she had seen the Spiritual Crystal of Water.

“I got these Spiritual Crystals of Water by accident.”

Ding Ning didn’t dare to tell the truth, even if she was his Grandma. After all, things about the Mermaid Totem sounded too incredible.

“No, they are much too expensive. Keep them to yourself. These crystals are good for your cultivation.”

Clearly enough, Meditation Master was very tempted, but she still decided not to accept them after a moment of hesitation.

“Grandma, take them. Consider them as gifts to you. I have more. I kid you not.”

Ding Ning pushed these crystals back quickly. Then, he took out another mouthful of Spiritual Crystals of Water to show her, proving that he indeed had many more.

“All right. I accept them.”

Seeing his resolute attitude, Meditation Master no longer refused and put these crystals away altogether neatly…

The next day, at the time when the cock crowed, Ding Ning was driving on his way back to Ninghai’s downtown, still thinking about Grandma’s understanding of martial arts.

Warriors, spiritual masters, and warlocks used all kinds of cultivation ways to practice martial arts. But put it simply, there were three orthodox ways of cultivation: refining the physical body, refining Qi, and refining spirits. It looked that they had many different cultivation ways only because their performance varied a lot along with the ups and downs of their realms and cultivation.

Undoubtedly, Ancient Warriors focused on refining Qi. While practitioners of the national martial arts who had inner and physical cultivations were refining their bodies and Qi at the same time. As for spiritual masters, they mainly refined spirits. Namely, they refined their spiritual strength.

As for the so-called warlocks, charm makers, or even creators of mystical tools, pill makers, and so on, they were essentially within the three cultivation systems, and their jobs were serving these three cultivation systems.

Although all of this was only Grandma’s understanding of martial arts, Ding Ning just couldn’t agree more. He wasn’t echoing her views but just thought that his Grandma’s ideas sounded quite reasonable.

For example, the charms made by charm makers, the pills produced by pill makers, the techniques displayed by warlocks, the matrices placed by matrice makers, and the weapons built by creators of mystical tools… In the final analysis, these things were mere assistance means to enhance warriors’ strength, which could not be classed as another cultivation system because refining the body, Qi and spirit was the fundamental way to increase cultivators’ strength.

Ding Ning had greatly benefited from this trip to Biyun Nunnery and got a deeper, clearer understanding of the cultivation system.

To be honest, Chiyou’s inheritance was awesome but lousy at the same time. It had no complete cultivation system. The process of learning it was like squeezing a little toothpaste out of a tube every now and then. Ding Ning highly doubted if this broken process was caused by Xuan Ji, who had unveiled part of the stone man’s seal.

When he thought of Xuan Ji, Ding Ning felt extremely speechless. She had told him that he could get the inheritance of Chiyou’s Weapon-refining Techniques as soon as he entered the first level of Wu Shen Palace. Ding Ning was really looking forward to getting it. But in the end, he couldn’t find any trace of Weapon-refining Techniques.

However, Ding Ning understood that he couldn’t blame her. After all, since she didn’t clearly understand Chiyou’s inheritance, she could only make inferences by guessing and speculating. Thus, it was normal for her to make a mistake about this.

In any case, on his trip to Wu Shen Palace, Ding Ning not only had been refined as a weapon but also got the Barbarian Physical Exercise Technique and the gold foil. Beyond that, he figured out the charm-making method, which was no way inferior to the Weapon-refining Technique. Generally, Ding Ning felt quite satisfied.

“Bang!”

Just as he was thinking, a sudden bang coming from the front interrupted his meditation. Instantly, he slammed on the brake under his feet and stopped the car.

There was a serious traffic accident ahead. A large truck suddenly turned around and went in the reverse direction, so it ran head-on into a bus. The few car drivers that followed behind the bus had no enough time to brake. And then, a chain of rear-end accidents happened. In an instant, about a dozen wrecked cars blocked the road.

“Holy sh*t! The passengers on the bus must be in danger!” Ding Ning’s heart froze. He hurriedly pulled over, turned on the double flash, and ran to the scene of the car accident quickly.

With his head broken and bleeding, the truck driver lay unconsciously on the steering wheel. The bus head was staved in, and its driver had died on the spot. In the compartment, cries and shouts rose one after another, and there were many more injured people.

If only the truck and the car collided, no one would die. However, the accident happened in the suburb where there were not many but fast cars.

After the accident, these cars behind the truck and the bus couldn’t stop in time, and hence a series of rear-end accidents happened. Many cars behind crashed together and made the situation much worse.

Luckily, those cars that had rear-end collisions had only a few casualties. The most seriously injured were the bus passengers and the truck driver who had caused the accident because they were caught up in the middle by the car and the truck.

The entire bus compartment that was squeezed was out of shape. The driver was dead, and the doors would not open. Many bruised and bleeding passengers were crawling out of the bus through the windows, crying for help.

“Go to help them quickly. Why are you still in a daze?”

These car owners had gotten out of their cars that had rear-ended collisions but were still at a loss. When Ding Ning ran forward and saw those petrified owners, he couldn’t help yelling.

Ding Ning had no time to think about how they would react to his words. He went straight to help a middle-aged man who was covered in blood to climb down from the bus window and asked hurriedly, “How many people are there in the bus? How many are injured?”

“More than twenty people. The driver is dead, and so does an old lady. The others are injured.”

The middle-aged man who was covered all over with blood answered. Though there were bits of broken glass inserted into his arms and scratches all over his face, he could remain calm on the whole.

“Stop looking and come here! Right, I’m talking about YOU! Help him to rest by the road. Be quick!”

Ding Ning yelled at the young man standing foolishly aside and asked him to take care of the middle-aged man.

And Ding Ning continued to help passengers escape from the windows. He just set a good example for others. Seeing his actions, other people there finally came to their senses. After calling the police the first time, they also rushed forward to help.

With the help of these people, Ding Ning was suddenly relieved. Although there were a lot of injured passengers on the bus, the most seriously injured was a middle-aged woman whose thigh had been pierced. But her wound was not life-threatening.
