From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Isaac sighed again, "Perhaps, war is the opportunity for Easterners to organize and refine this wisdom..."

After leaving Shenzhou Society, Jiang Liu met up with Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying at the entrance of Cairo University and put the suitcases they had prepared into his storage ring.

Drip!

A short while later, Evelyn drove up, honked twice, and urged the three of them to get in the car.

"Is it too late for you to drive at night, Ms. Evelyn?" Jiang Liu chuckled and teased as he sat in the back with Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying.

"Of course we can't handle it!"

With that, Evelyn opened the car door, got out, then opened the passenger door, sat in the passenger seat, and said to the back, "My magic students! I'm leaving the driving tonight to you. I'm going to sleep!"

The three men looked at each other, their mouths twitching, but there was nothing they could do but take turns driving.

Lu Jin went first.

only--

"I can't drive."

Seeing that Evelyn had closed her eyes and fallen into a deep sleep, Lu Jin, sitting in the driver's seat, was a little nervous. "Also, I heard that you need a driver's license to drive? I don't have one."

"Driving without a license is fine, as long as you don't get caught by the patrol officers."

Jiang Liu offered a word of comfort, then instructed, "Left clutch, center brake, right accelerator. When shifting gears, depress the clutch first. First gear: 10-20 km/h; second gear: 20-30 km/h; third gear: 30-40 km/h; fourth gear: 40-50 km/h; fifth gear: make sure the speedometer needle is above 60."

Lu Jin noted it down, started the car, and felt the car humming. Following Jiang Liu's instructions, he first pressed the clutch, then shifted into first gear, and then slowly released it.

really!

The car slowly drove forward.

As he pressed the accelerator, the speed increased, the car's hum grew louder, and the speedometer reached twenty. Lu Jin pressed the clutch again and shifted into second gear.

"I've learned to drive!"

Lu Jin was excited, and as the speed increased and time passed, Lu Jin felt as if he had become one with the car, as if he had become the soul of the car.

"How do you know how to drive?" Duanmu Ying asked curiously.

"It's simple. Every time you take a bus, sit close to the driver and watch it a couple of times, and you'll get it."

Jiang Liu held up a finger and chuckled, “It’s not much different from playing video games. The only difference is that playing video games requires you to control a joystick and buttons, and you only need to control your hands. Driving, on the other hand, requires you to control the steering wheel, gears, clutch, brakes, accelerator, etc., and you need to use both your hands and feet.”

If driving is likened to a form of spiritual practice—

Humans are the soul and consciousness of a car.

Life = the car's mass and internal structure

Cultivation level = Car's fuel level

Circulating Qi throughout the body and exerting supernatural abilities = starting a car and making the wheels turn with gasoline.

The gear selector is equivalent to controlling the power level of the special ability released.

After Jiang Liu's explanation, Duanmu Ying immediately grasped the concept and gained some understanding of his often-quoted saying, "A mustard seed can contain Mount Sumeru, which is readily available."

then.

During the rest of the journey, following the directions indicated by the paper monkey, Lu Jin, Duanmu Ying, and Jiang Liu took turns driving for two hours each.

Although they did not have driver's licenses, the three of them learned to drive within two hours each, and all of them achieved a state of "man and car as one" without self.

Driving is also a form of spiritual practice!

Seven o'clock in the morning.

The car had already left Egypt and entered Libya.

As far as the eye can see, there is desert on both sides. A slight breeze can stir up gusts of yellow wind, and as the sun rises, the temperature in the air gradually increases.

Opening the car window lets in a wave of heat that makes your mouth dry; keeping the window closed makes it even more stifling.

Aside from Jiang Liu, who cultivated the four characters "manifestation," "secret," "perfect," and "penetration," enabling him to sense the climate of the universe and adjust his own macroscopic and open life cycle system's energy pattern at any time to maintain the most comfortable state, even Lu Jin was panting from the heat. Not to mention Duanmu Ying, whose cultivation was weak and who had only recently embarked on the true path of cultivation, and Evelyn, who was just an ordinary person.

"Close the car windows," Jiang Liu said to Evelyn.

"What? Are you trying to suffocate me?"

Evelyn suspected that Jiang Liu was joking.

"Trust me, it will be cool later," Jiang Liu assured him.

"OK then."

Evelyn closed the car window with some skepticism.

Jiang Liu gripped the steering wheel with one hand and took out a statue from his storage ring with the other.

It was that beautiful mermaid with jade wings and golden scales!

Although the innate Qi that had completely fused with the information of life had been resurrected through a pearl and entered the body of a clam ancestor, becoming a clam woman, the trajectory of the flow of the innate Qi still existed.

Jiang Liu placed the Jade-Winged Golden-Scaled Mermaid between the backrests of the driver's seat and the passenger seat, and infused it with a wisp of Qi.

In an instant.

That wisp of Qi spontaneously circulated throughout the body, following the innate Qi flow within the Jade-Winged Golden-Scaled Mermaid, causing the airflow inside the carriage to circulate spontaneously, creating a continuous, cool breeze.

"Amazing!"

Evelyn was amazed as she felt the cool breeze brushing against her face.

Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying also breathed a sigh of relief.

"I almost forgot, Brother Jiang also has this wonderful thing." Lu Jin introduced the effects of the Jade-Winged Golden-Scaled Mermaid to Evelyn—

It is warm in winter and cool in summer.

Duanmu Ying sighed, "Such wonderful things were only enjoyed by royalty and nobility in the past!"

"Such amazing items exist in the world!"

Evelyn was filled with admiration, but she had no desire for the jade-winged, golden-scaled mermaid.

Without him.

She was only fascinated by the culture of ancient Egypt, and not very interested in the history of other countries or antiques.

This is likely due to Evelyn's "past life," that is, the fact that her innate Qi was integrated with the soul information of Seti I's daughter.

Cabané, Cabanelli.

In theory, Evelyn's situation is quite similar to the innate Qi in the Jade-Winged Golden-Scaled Mermaid. However, after many reincarnations, the part of the soul information belonging to the Pharaoh's daughter in the former has been erased to only a tiny bit, while the latter's life information has been completely integrated into the innate Qi, neither increasing nor decreasing, and coexisting with the world.

of course.

Analyzing Imhotep's case, if there were a way to preserve the soul of the previous life, then this type of resurrection would result in multiple souls with the same consciousness coexisting in one body. Because their consciousness is consistent, there would be no "split personality" state. However, once the soul of the previous life is separated, all the strength of the body would also be completely eliminated.

After all, life and death are one. The reborn soul is not as strong as the soul that has been cultivated in the previous life. With life and death out of balance, it is naturally unable to control the corresponding cultivation level.

Because Evelyn had almost no remaining information about the Pharaoh's daughter's soul within her primordial Qi, in terms of consciousness and soul, she was essentially a newly born human individual...

With the Jade Winged Golden Scale Mermaid as an "air conditioner," the heat inside the car was dispelled by the cool breeze, and for a moment, there was laughter and conversation.

Half a day later.

The vehicle entered a rather old-fashioned city and stopped next to a roadside restaurant three to five kilometers away from the downtown area.

The four got out of the car. Evelyn went to a nearby gas station to inquire about the cost of refueling, while Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying went to a restaurant to buy lunch.

The restaurant is quite spacious, covering an area of ​​about 500 square meters. The floor is paved with smooth marble, and the square tables are arranged neatly, but there are not many customers.

Jiang Liu bought four servings of local specialties from the waiter: Libyan roasted lamb and meat pies. Then, he casually asked, "Hello, we are travelers from the East. Are there any famous historical sites or special festivals to visit in this area?"

"Famous historical sites?"

After thinking for a moment, the waiter said, "It might be the square in the city center. That square, which is over two hundred meters in diameter, is said to have a history of a thousand years."

As for events, there aren't any special holidays in the next month or two. However, I heard that the wealthy Robin is holding a recruitment fair this afternoon to hire capable warriors and soldiers to search for the legendary lost city...

You guys might want to go and join the fun.

Thank you.

Jiang Liu paid the bill, took the packaged roasted lamb and meat patties, and then walked out of the restaurant with Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying. Evelyn also negotiated with the gas station staff to fill up the car with gas, and even carried three large buckets of gasoline for Jiang Liu to store in his storage ring for future use.

After getting in the car, Jiang Liu gave the driver's seat to Evelyn, picked up the paper monkey, and pointed to the bustling city center a few kilometers ahead, saying, "According to the paper monkey's senses, the owner of that silver hair is in the city center area, and I've heard that a wealthy man known as 'Robin' is going to hold a special job fair in the central square to explore a lost ancient city."

"Then we'll go and take a look around the city center later."

Evelyn nodded.

Afterwards, the group enjoyed roasted lamb and meat pies, then set off for the city, stopping in a small alley.

"Can you put the car into your magical ring?"

Evelyn thought about it for a moment and felt that it wasn't safe to park the car there.

These days, thieves are incredibly skilled; they can't steal a whole car, but they can dismantle it into parts in a short amount of time.

Jiang Liu nodded, and with his hand bearing the storage ring, he brushed it across the car body, causing ripples to form in the space around the vehicle before disappearing completely.

"Such bizarre magic tricks are unbelievable no matter how many times I see them," Evelyn exclaimed, then turned her attention to the square in the city center.

The square is circular and paved with bluish-gray tiles, but if you look closely, you can vaguely see a pattern that resembles an eyeball.

The innermost circle resembles the pupil; surrounding the pupil is a larger circle, tightly enclosing the central circle, much like the entire eyeball; the outermost large circle is the eyelid…

# Chapter 693 The Five Bodyguards

Is there anything special about this square?

Lu Jin also noticed the pattern on the plaza's paving stones, but when he scanned it with his mental power, he found nothing special.

"It looks like a rather unique pattern art right now, but it is said that this square has a history of thousands of years. I suppose the pattern is hiding some special information."
