Chapter 9 Life Lifting

After Li Xuan's efforts for many days, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda is only two walls away, and the first layer can be repaired. But in the following days, Li Xuan's great cause of saving people fell into trouble.

Due to the successive accidents in the Mudan River, the relevant departments have strengthened their management of this, and there are special personnel patrolling the riverside to dissuade swimmers. Even newspaper reporters came and interviewed swimmers, urging everyone not to swim in the river to avoid danger.

When Li Xuan was strolling along the riverside in the past few days, he saw a reporter interviewing.

At that time, a man in his 40s came to the river, had just taken off his clothes and was about to swim in the river. A male reporter hurriedly came up to him: "Hello, I'm a reporter from the Daily Mudan Daily, have you seen the warning sign that prohibits swimming over there?"

"I saw it, I already knew it. Is there anything wrong with you?"

"If you know it's forbidden to swim here, why do you want to swim in the river?"

The man thought for a moment, did not speak, took the cigarette out of the pile of clothes, lit it himself, and by the way lit another one for the reporter. Then, the man said to reporters: "Did you know that smoking is bad for your health?"

The reporter said: "Of course I know. ”

The man said, "Yes, since you know that smoking is bad for your health, you still smoke!" and then he turned around and went down to swim. The reporter stood dumbfounded by the river for a while, did not speak, turned around and left.

Li Xuan thought to himself: "These people are really nosy, if no one comes to swim, no one will drown." No one is drowning, how can I save people? And just like that, the day was wasted in vain.

In the evening, he went to his aunt's house alone. My cousin followed Li Xuan for three or four days, but he didn't encounter anything to save people, so he was not enough, so he went to play with his classmates in the past two days.

As he walked, Li Xuan suddenly heard a commotion in front of him, as well as the crying of children. Li Xuan's spirit couldn't help but perk, "God help me, this time there is merit to be earned."

He ran forward for forty or fifty meters, and when he turned the corner, he saw a large group of people looking upstairs under a building.

It was a seven-story building, and on the balcony on the fifth floor, there was a child, about four or five years old, who was mostly "hanging" from the window. On closer inspection, it turned out that the child's head and one arm were stuck in the security bar of the window. The child was crying and writhing, and it was very dangerous to see that he was about to fall.

A few people downstairs had already pulled up a quilt, ready to catch the child when it fell. He heard from the people around him that he had just seen the child's mother go to the market to buy vegetables. The kid didn't know what was going on, but he got out of the window and got stuck in the burglar fence. Fortunately, there is an anti-theft fence, otherwise the child might have fallen and died.

Since the adults in this family are not at home, and there is no one in the neighbor's house who goes up and down the stairs, these people have no choice but to find a bed and quilt downstairs to save the child. Others said that they had called the police, and the fire brigade would come in a while, and the child could be saved with a ladder.

However, the child kept squirming on it, and it was easy to fall off. As the child struggled, the arm stuck in the security fence also broke free, leaving only the child's head sandwiched in the gap of the security fence, if there was no strength to support it underneath, even if he did not fall, he would suffocate to death.

"The situation is very critical, we must hurry up to save this child!" Many people began to panic below.

Li Xuan felt that another merit was beckoning to him. He looked upstairs and saw a drainage pipe more than ten centimeters thick next to the balcony. Li Xuan has loved to climb trees since he was a child, and often goes to dig birds' nests, and his ability to climb trees is very high. Seeing this drainage pipe, Li Xuan estimated that he would have no problem climbing up.

He hurried downstairs, holding the drain pipe with both hands, and kicked his feet the ground, and climbed up with both hands and feet. When he came across a place with a balcony corner or a corner of a wall, he pedaled it again with his foot. That's faster than any trained firefighter.

The people downstairs watched Li Xuan climb the stairs with his bare hands, and they were all surprised. There was a four or five-year-old child who let his mother hold him, and looked at Li Xuan with wide eyes, "Mom, Mom, this big brother climbs so fast, he didn't change from a monkey, right?" ”

Li Xuan's ears are particularly sensitive, and when he heard the conversation between the child and his mother when he was climbing the stairs, he was so angry that he almost didn't fall down. "Did anyone say that?"

That is, in less than a minute, Li Xuan climbed to the fifth floor. He pressed his feet against the corner, grabbed the security bar with one hand, and lifted the child's ass with the other, trying to lift the child up. However, the gap in this security fence is not large, and the child's neck is stuck there, and it is very difficult to hold the child up. Fortunately, Li Xuan had already held the child up, and his life was not in danger. The child finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the crying was not so bad.

Li Xuan tried to maintain the balance of his body, and comforted the child softly: "Little brother, don't cry, my brother is here to save you, it will be fine, and my mother will be back in a while." After about half a minute, the child stopped crying amid Li Xuan's comforting voice.

Li Xuan asked again, "What's your name?"

"My name is Xiaoqiang, and I am 5 years old this year. ”

Li Xuan thought to himself: "You are really strong enough, you dare to climb up so high, and you still come to this high-altitude hanging man, you must be a strong man when you grow up." "Fortunately, I was able to meet this bold child, and I had an extra merit.

As time passed, although Li Xuan didn't feel tired, he felt that this anti-theft fence was about to be overwhelmed. Li Xuan is a little thin, with a height of more than 1.60 meters, and a little more than 100 catties. The child is not heavy, only more than 20 pounds. But the iron pipe of this security fence is not too thick, and the two of them always give people a crumbling feeling when they hang on it.

Li Xuan was in a hurry, "I have so much strength, can't I just break this anti-theft fence." He first pressed his feet against the wall next to him and pressed his belly against Xiaoqiang. Then grab a guardrail with each hand, and your arms are a scream. Not to mention, since cultivating the Xuanhuang Merit Technique, Li Xuan's strength has increased exponentially. When he was at home, he could easily carry a sack of corn with one hand, and a sack of corn was nearly 200 catties. At home, Li Xuan didn't dare to show it, just pretended to have a little more strength. These days in Jiangcheng, I have saved 5 people successively, and the strength of Xuanhuang Merit Jue has increased a lot, and it is estimated that the strength in one hand must have 500 catties.

This anti-theft fence is very strong in the eyes of others, but in Li Xuan's hands, it is not much stronger than noodles. With this effort, the security bars on both sides were pulled into a U-shape. This time, he used his hand again, and Xiaoqiang crawled out of this gap.

After that, he asked Xiaoqiang to wrap his arms around his neck, and he climbed downstairs along the same way along the drain. When his feet hit the ground, there was a round of applause.

Li Xuan handed Xiaoqiang to the neighbors downstairs, said "It's okay", turned around and left directly.

That night, Li Xuan came to the space in the upper dantian again. I feel that this space is much larger than before, when I first came in, it was about 3 meters square, and now it is about 6 meters square. The space was still gray, only the base of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda was flickering, and this light was also more dazzling than before, and the speed of rotation seemed to be faster.

Li Xuan held the pedestal of this Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda with both hands, very happy. Looking at this pedestal carefully, the more I look at it, the more I love it. I saw that on this octagonal pedestal, there were already seven walls at different angles. There seem to be some strange patterns on each wall, Li Xuan looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see what it meant, maybe it was the reason why these eight walls had not been completed.

Li Xuan calculated that he had saved seven people in more than a month, and the results of saving people were reflected in the pedestal of his pagoda. I felt like I was building a house, and I felt more and more accomplished.

Now, there is still half a month before the start of junior high school, and it is estimated that there is still enough time, and I am staring at the Qing Dynasty, maybe I can get together enough eight people. Now, there is only one wall left on the pedestal to close. In other words, as long as you save one more person, you will be able to complete your merits, and then the first layer of the pagoda will be completed.

The Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda of Heaven and Earth is the first merit treasure of the day after tomorrow, and the treasure used by Taishang Laojun. When this baby grows a layer, there will definitely be some more interesting functions. When the time comes, will it be like a real pagoda, you can go inside to play, and you can also load things inside? If only you could put something in it, it's exciting just thinking about it.

In addition to being happy, there is another thing that has always puzzled Li Xuan. It was the pedestal of this pagoda that got into his upper dantian for unknown reasons. I've tried many times to get this pedestal out of my head, but I haven't succeeded once. In the upper dantian, I felt that it was a real thing when I held this pedestal, and after holding it with my hand, I looked out of the upper dantian and saw that there was nothing in my hand. I remember that when Taishang Laojun used this Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda in his dream, he rose from the door of his head, and he went up wherever he wanted it to go, and he was very obedient. But why can't I do it myself? If the first layer is repaired and there is no way to use it, then it will be a waste of work.

The next day, an article appeared in the daily newspaper Mudan entitled "Lifting Lives - In Search of the Unsung Hero".

The article praised the heroic deeds of a teenager who acted bravely in the face of righteousness yesterday and lifted a child who fell from a building with his bare hands. The whole process is described in great detail, and it should be provided by the witnesses who were present. Even his height, his appearance, and what kind of clothes he was wearing yesterday were described.

The article said that this heroic young man not only held up a life, but also held up a hope, and made a tirade on how to strengthen the building of socialist spiritual civilization and enhance the moral cultivation of the masses. The article said that good deeds depend on the accumulation of moral cultivation in ordinary times, when he lifted up a young life with support, he also held up the hearts of people in this society to be kind, and the hand that lifted solidified the most beautiful melody in the world, let us learn and pay tribute to the unsung hero around us.

At the same time, the article also mentions that Xiaoqiang's parents are very grateful to the unsung hero and are trying to find this rescuer. The newspaper also hopes that the general public can provide clues to the rescuer, so as to find this good boy who has acted bravely, and is ready to recommend this heroic boy to the city for commendation and reward.
