Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 227 The Golden Bracelet for Preventing Car Accidents Has Finally Been Discovered
Just as a great battle broke out in the White Stone Mansion of another world, and several experts from the Great Luo Palace besieged the White Bone God and his wife, a surveillance video was being played in a conference room in Yandu, Blue Star.

This is an ordinary intersection, with traffic lights flashing alternately and pedestrians waiting at the end of the zebra crossing.

Just then, perhaps as the green light was about to turn on, the pedestrians waiting to cross the road began to stir. But at the same time, a semi-trailer truck sped into the surveillance camera, seemingly trying to beat the yellow light and cross the intersection as quickly as possible.

The next moment, an electric vehicle with extremely fast acceleration came from another direction, rushed past the camera, and rushed in front of the semi-trailer.

In the emergency, the semi-trailer braked suddenly, the front of the truck veered slightly, and then the entire vehicle tilted and fell over due to the loss of balance. The trailer behind it also swung to one side due to inertia.

The direction it was swinging was towards the pedestrians waiting to cross the road at the end of the zebra crossing.

Pedestrians screamed and scattered, but no matter what, they couldn't outrun the speed of the suitcase.

At the very front of the pedestrians was an elderly man who seemed to have difficulty walking. He appeared to want to escape, but it was too late.

The next moment, the suitcase bumped into the old man.

The surveillance video camera was positioned to the side and behind the elderly man, clearly showing the trailer hitting him.

Logically, the next scene should be the old man being hit and thrown or crushed by the suitcase, either dying or being seriously injured. At least that's what viewers watching the video for the first time would think.

But in reality, the suitcase stopped moving forward the moment it hit the old man, as if it had hit an impenetrable wall, and was even bounced back.

The surveillance video is now very clear; under magnification, you can even see a human-shaped dent on the suitcase.

As the video ended, everyone in the conference room focused their attention on a bracelet in the center on the left.

This bracelet has a beautiful pattern. Anyone who knows its value can easily tell it's made of high-grade sandalwood just by touching it. It has twelve medium beads strung together, and three slightly larger beads (one large and two small) as decoration.

The surface of these three beads was carved with shallow engravings, and the gaps were filled with cinnabar. Judging from the patterns, they seemed to be Taoist talismans, but none of the people present were Taoists and did not recognize these talismans.

A moment later, the host in the conference room began the introduction.

"This video shows a traffic accident that occurred five days ago in Xijing, Qin Province. Apart from the truck driver suffering some soft tissue contusions, there were no other injuries."

"The old man who stopped the suitcase in the video is named Li Chang'an, 62 years old, a local of Xi'an. All the information shows that he is an ordinary person."

An elderly man sitting in the main seat looked at the bracelet in the center of the table and said in a deep voice, "So he was able to do what was shown in the video because of this bracelet?"

“After the accident, Li Chang’an waited at the scene. According to him, the bracelet was a gift from his son, and he and his wife each had one.”

The host continued, "His son's original name was Li Dongyang. He later became a disciple of Taoism and is now a member of the Longmen School stationed at the Baxian Palace in Xijing, belonging to the Yun generation. His Taoist name is Yunyang, also known as Li Yunyang."

Everyone fell into silence.

An elderly man nearby couldn't help but ask, "So, this bracelet is a Taoist ritual artifact?"

Most of the people present held high positions of power and basically knew that some Taoist priests could cultivate internal energy, which could help people regulate their breathing, expel evil spirits, and even consecrate talismans and ritual implements, thus having the effects of aiding sleep and maintaining health.

Besides Taoist masters, there are also some unorthodox practitioners who can cultivate evil arts and secretly harm people.

According to their information, while these methods were covert and mysterious, their actual power was not great. To say they were barely effective might be an underestimation, but they certainly didn't warrant special attention. However, they had no idea that some Daoist magical artifacts could withstand an attack from a semi-trailer truck fully loaded with goods!

With the sheer force of those suitcases at the scene, they could easily have crushed a small car!
But the host nodded and admitted, "According to him, this bracelet is called the Golden Gang Bracelet. Wearing it for a long time can improve health, ward off evil spirits, and protect your life."

Everyone fell silent again.

The host continued, "After Li Chang'an handed this bracelet to us, we conducted a series of tests in the shortest possible time."

"The runes engraved on these three beads are the Tiangang runes from the Shangqing Tianxin Zhengfa and the Vajra Xuanlu from the Shangqing Dongtian Sanwu Vajra Xuanlu Yi."

"We discovered an unusual field reaction within a 60-centimeter radius centered on the bracelet," the host explained. "This field reaction is similar to that of ritual implements consecrated by Taoist priests who have cultivated true qi."

When we hung the beads on a dummy and then attacked it, the defensive effect wasn't triggered. However, when we gave the Golden Bracelet to a living person and then attacked them, the defensive effect was activated.

"why is that?"

"I don't know," the host shook his head. "Li Chang'an doesn't know why either."

All eyes turned back to the golden bracelet in the center of the table. "This bracelet can actually determine whether the wearer is alive?"

Some people looked at the host, knowing that the key to the problem was not Li Chang'an, but Li Yunyang.

The elderly man sitting in the main seat tapped the table to quiet the room, then said to the host, "Please continue."

"Yes!" the host nodded.

"Li Yunyang, 31 years old, from Xijing, Qin Province. He entered the Taoist sect at the age of 16 and achieved Qi cultivation at the age of 24. To date, he has made three magical artifacts and expelled the Yin Qi from a tomb once."

“He had been practicing at the Baxian Palace in Xijing, but left voluntarily last year. It is said that he went to Guangzhou to practice, and later joined the newly established Guangzhou Taoist Research Institute.”

The host added, "The Yangcheng Taoist Research Institute is a Taoist cultural research institution established earlier this year by Daoist Yi Hong of Yandu Baiyun Temple and Daoist Ming Yu of Longhu Tianshan Tianshi Mansion. It is nominally affiliated with the Taoist Association, but is managed by Daoist Yi Hong and Daoist Ming Yu."

"Are these two also Taoist priests who have achieved Qi Refining?" someone asked.

"Yes." The host nodded, then his voice suddenly became low. "We also discovered that whether it was Daoist Yunyang who went to Guangzhou to cultivate, or Daoist Yihong and Daoist Mingyu who spearheaded the establishment of the Daoist Research Institute, they should all be living in Guangzhou."

However, our urgent investigation revealed that during their time in Guangzhou, aside from occasional contact with family and only a few appearances outside the research institute, there was no trace of them actually living in Guangzhou!

"Our investigation has led us to a key figure."

"who?"

The large screen, which had just gone black, lit up again, displaying a photo of a young man.

"Gu Zhao!"
