"Just make the arrangements. I don't care how many people come or who they are, but I tried it yesterday and I'm afraid the door isn't that easy to open.
If possible, don't get too close. No one knows what will happen then, and I won't be able to pay attention to you."
Although Du Ruo said that he didn't care, he still gave them some advice.
"Okay, keep me informed if anything happens."
The fox nodded, and without staying any longer, he left with his things.
After the fox left, Du Ruo was not idle for the rest of the time.
First, he refined all the medicinal herbs into pills, and then Du Ruo spent all the remaining time accompanying Xiang Yuanyuan and his parents.
Du Ruo had no intention of telling his parents about these things, and he acted very comfortable and relaxed.
The day before going to Mount Huangshan, Du Ruo stayed in the study alone. He needed to sort out some things about cultivation.
He thought about it for a long time and finally decided to record some of his subsequent practice in written form.
It is not for leaving it to Xiang Yuanyuan or his children, but for leaving it to the people above.
It’s not that he is noble or selfless, but if something really happens to him and he leaves nothing behind, no one would believe it. Then the only ones who would be troubled would be Xiang Yuanyuan and some people close to him.
So the books he left behind this time were meant to appease those people above. Of course, many things in them were not as simple and clear as those given to the fox.
On the contrary, there are many ambiguous things in the secret book he left behind this time, especially the knowledge that he taught Xiang Yuanyuan, which is even more mysterious.
The purpose is that if Xiang Yuanyuan left these secrets, she would naturally be able to understand them easily. But if the people above got them, they would definitely ask Xiang Yuanyuan. In this way, Xiang Yuanyuan would be able to remember them all, so that in the end, her own family would not be ignorant of them.
Du Ruo also spent some effort on these things.
As for other people, whether they can reach his level quickly after obtaining this secret book.
That’s not what he cares about. If it was really that easy to practice, there wouldn’t be only one person, Xie Ziran, who was involved in the legend of ascension for so many years.
Besides, if something really happened to him, why would he care whether there would be a flood in the world?
Putting the written secret book on the desk, Du Ruo sat in the study for a while, then returned to the bedroom, hugged Xiang Yuanyuan who was still pretending to sleep, kissed her on the face, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
……
The weather at the end of June was already very hot. Even in the morning, you could already feel the heat.
However, the temperature at the top of Huangshan Mountain is not that hot. The high altitude makes the temperature several degrees lower. In addition, the mountain breeze makes the mountain particularly comfortable.
However, not many tourists enjoyed this comfort today. The atmosphere in Huangshan was particularly different today.
Ever since Huangshan announced its closure a few days ago, various messages have begun to circulate online.
Some people said that there was an accident on the mountain and the news needed to be blocked. Some people saw soldiers going up the mountain and said that there was a fugitive who had escaped into Huangshan. The fugitive was a murderer who killed anyone he saw. Some people also said that there was a celebrity promoting on the mountain, so the mountain was closed...
Some people also want to use drones to investigate, but unfortunately, as long as the drone flies into the Huangshan area, it will fall down like a headless fly.
In short, rumors spread, and then various self-media reposted or modified the news. In short, there was only one picture at the beginning, and the rest was all made up.
There are all kinds of rumors, but no one would think that someone would open the Heavenly Gate and ascend to heaven on Mount Huangshan.
Because no one would make up such an outrageous rumor.
Huangshan Lotus Peak is one of the three main peaks of Huangshan Mountain and also the highest peak in Huangshan Mountain. The straight-line distance between it and Tiandu Peak is only more than 1100 meters.
It’s strange to say, but a few days ago, Mount Huangshan was covered in clouds. The clouds were neither high nor low, just right at the top of the peak.
But early this morning, the clouds surprisingly became much lower, just below the main peak.
This allows people standing on the Lotus Peak to have a clear and detailed view of the Tiandu Peak.
And it seems that because of the clouds, people at the foot of the mountain cannot see clearly what is happening on the top of the mountain.
Lotus Peak was originally closed to the public, but early this morning, it welcomed a large number of guests.
These guests were quite old and they went up the mountain one after another last night and stayed in the hotel on the mountain.
Among them were even a few elderly people who, probably because they could no longer climb the mountain, took a helicopter directly to the mountaintop hotel.
Then early this morning, the group of people went straight to climb Lotus Mountain together.
Lotus Peak, the highest peak in Huangshan, is located between Guangmingding and Tiandu Peak.
Because the main peak is prominent and surrounded by other peaks, it happens to have nine petals, just like a huge lotus blooming to the sky, so it is named Lotus Peak.
It is not easy to climb up Lotus Peak, let alone that group of old men. Even for an ordinary strong young man, it is not easy to climb up.
After all, climbing Lotus Peak is not easier than climbing Tiandu Peak. Many places are at an angle of more than 80 degrees. In winter, Lotus Peak will even be closed for a period of time.
The reason is easy to understand. They are afraid that the mountain will freeze in winter and accidents may happen when climbing to the peak.
These people are already quite old, but they all grit their teeth and climb up.
They had already made preparations before coming up, so even if they all encountered accidents today, it would not cause too much impact.
At this time, there is a row of very sophisticated telescopes erected on the edge of the peak.
This is also to make it easier for these elderly people to see the details. Although more than one thousand meters is not far, especially in today's weather, standing on the Lotus Peak, they can see the situation on the Tiandu Peak very clearly, but it is better to be prepared.
"It's really a great place. You can stand on the top of the mountain and see all the other mountains. The day you choose is also very good. The weather today is also really good."
Old Wang had just crossed the narrow gap in the sky. Holding the handrail with one hand and supporting his knee with the other, he looked up at the steps in front of him, and then looked at the triangular Tiandu Peak in the distance with some emotion.
He was wearing sportswear and a baseball cap today, and looked like an ordinary old man.
"Haha, no wonder they say today is an auspicious day, it really is."
The other old men behind him also echoed.
The scenery of Huangshan is beyond words. No matter who comes to see it, they will feel that the trip is worthwhile.
Just after he said this, everyone present realized the purpose of their visit today, so they stopped talking, and those who were in good physical condition continued to climb, stopping occasionally to have time to look at the surrounding scenery.
There is limited space at the top of the mountain, so this group of old men are still climbing, but along the way, there are many people escorting them.
The composition of these people is complex. There are soldiers with live ammunition, as well as research personnel with various instruments who stop at some rest stops to debug the machines. There are also many people who operate military drones to search Huangshan.
While everyone was on high alert at the Lotus Peak of Huangshan Mountain, Du Ruo held the porridge in one hand and used the other hand to pick up a pickle with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He took a bite of the pickle and a mouthful of porridge, enjoying his meal quite a lot.
"Eat, why are you only eating so little today?"
Du Ruo saw that Xiang Yuanyuan just ate one bun and then sat there, looking at him eagerly, so he asked Xiang Yuanyuan to eat more.
"I don't have much appetite. Is that enough? I'll serve you another bowl."
Xiang Yuanyuan shook her head, then took the bowl of porridge from Du Ruo and helped to serve the porridge.
"What about you? No appetite either?"
Du Ruo did not stop Xiang Yuanyuan from serving the porridge, but looked at Li Qiyao beside her. She had even spent half a day eating a bun, but had only eaten most of it.
"When do we leave?"
Li Qiyao rolled her eyes at Du Ruo, put down the bun in her hand, and then asked.
Not everyone has the same mental quality as Du Ruo, who has the mind to eat and drink slowly before such a big thing.
"It's only three minutes past eight. Why are you in such a hurry? It will only take us a few minutes to get up the mountain."
Du Ruo didn't even need to look at the time, he could tell the exact minute and second.
After saying that, he took the porridge handed to him by Xiang Yuanyuan and continued drinking it.
"Mom is such a jerk. She always makes the pickles so salty. Honey, you should eat less. It's not good to eat pickled food when you're pregnant."
Du Ruo drank the porridge and ate a bite of pickles, then complained in his mouth, but he picked up a lot more food with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
"Then I'll stir-fry some dried fish with spicy sauce tomorrow to go with the porridge. I'll make the dried fish spicier and drier."
Xiang Yuanyuan looked at Du Ruo with red eyes. As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and sniffed.
"Not really. It's okay once you get used to it."
Du Ruo paused while picking up the pickles, then continued, "Eat first, I'll make you a pot of tea."
After hearing this, Xiang Yuanyuan couldn't hold back any longer and tears started to fall. She quickly wiped away the tears, didn't look at Du Ruo, and walked quickly upstairs.
"You eat first, I'll go."
Li Qiyao put down the half-eaten bun in her hand, and followed Xiang Yuanyuan's footsteps to go upstairs.
“Slurp~Slurp~”
Du Ruo didn't say anything. He lowered his head and continued to eat a mouthful of pickles and porridge.
Du Ruo ate very quickly and completely. He finished the porridge, the pickles, and even the remaining two buns.
After eating, Du Ruo did not rush upstairs. Instead, he cleaned up the dishes and put them all in the dishwasher.
After doing all this, Du Ruo went upstairs.
"Honey, the tea is just ready to drink."
Seeing Du Ruo going upstairs, Xiang Yuanyuan's eyes were just a little red at this time, but her face was full of smiles, and she did not look sad at all as she had just broken down and cried.
"Well, where's the clouded leopard?"
Du Ruo walked over, sat down, picked up the tea and took a sip, then looked around but didn't see the clouded leopard.
"I just caught a frog, and now I don't know where it went."
Xiang Yuanyuan pointed to the balcony, where a frog was lying on the floor tiles. Its skin was a little wrinkled, and it was obvious that it had been dead for quite a long time.
"It doesn't eat this thing, so I don't know why it was caught."
Du Ruo did not let the frog disappear from his sight. He just complained and stopped talking.
"..."
Xiang Yuanyuan and Li Qiyao did not say anything. They were each thinking about their own things and the atmosphere fell silent.
"Come here, wife, give me a hug~"
Du Ruo put down the tea in his hand, leaned back in the wooden chair, opened his hands, and said something to Xiang Yuanyuan.
Xiang Yuanyuan didn't say much, stood up, sat on Du Ruo's lap, and leaned her body towards Du Ruo.
"........."
Li Qiyao, who was originally sitting aside drinking tea, curled her lips, picked up the black cat and the white cat who were about to go to Du Ruo, and walked into the house.
Leave more space for two people.
The two of them didn't communicate much, just hugged each other quietly. In Du Ruo's arms, Xiang Yuanyuan's breathing gradually calmed down.
"It's almost time, we should set off."
Time passed slowly and the sun began to rise. Du Ruo glanced at the sky and gently patted Xiang Yuanyuan's shoulder.
"Hmm? Is it time to go?"
Xiang Yuanyuan stood up in a daze, supporting Du Ruo's chest with her hands. She had fallen asleep just now, and there was a very fresh breath in Du Ruo's arms.
It smells particularly comfortable, and you will always feel at ease when you get close to Duruo. This is because Duruo is close to nature, which is also the main reason why small animals like to stick to Duruo.
"I have sewn a belt with these pills sorted into different categories. You can wrap it around your waist."
At this time, Li Qiyao walked out of the house with a cloth belt in her hand. There were small pockets on the cloth belt and a lot of embroidery on the outside of the pockets. It can be seen that she sewed it with great care.
"Okay...thank you~"
Du Ruo took the belt, sniffed it, and found that it contained the pills he had refined these days.
After Du Ruo took it, he paused for a moment, then said thank you for the rare occasion.
In fact, he originally planned to swallow all the pills, but considering Li Qiyao's kindness, it seemed inappropriate to refuse at this time.
After Du Ruo took it, he tied the belt around his waist, and it didn't look particularly awkward.
When Xiang Yuanyuan saw this scene, her expression did not change at all. She just adjusted the position for Du Ruo after Du Ruo tied the belt.
"Then let's set off."
Du Ruo's voice rang out, and steam rose from under his feet. Du Ruo put one hand around Xiang Yuanyuan's waist, and then extended his hand to Li Qiyao.
Li Qiyao stretched out her hand, and was then pulled by Du Ruo and stepped into the mist under Du Ruo's feet.
The mist under Du Ruo's feet gathered more and more, then lifted up the three people and flew towards the Huangshan Mountain behind.
Du Ruo was flying in the air. Inside the room, the sword sent by the fox, which was said to be made of the best alloy, flew out, passed through the air, and followed Du Ruo silently.
"Meow!!!!"
The clouded leopard, which had just run out of the forest, looked up and saw three people flying in the air. It quickly spat out a snake in its mouth and shouted to the sky.
It looked like a child whose parents went to a banquet without him.
Xiang Yuanyuan and Li Qiyao could only hear the whistling sound of the wind and could not hear the clouded leopard's cries at all. Du Ruo looked down and then ignored it and flew straight towards Huangshan.
At this time on the top of the Lotus Peak of Huangshan Mountain, which was only about 50 to 60 meters high, a dozen old men were sitting quietly around a huge rock in the middle, some with their eyes closed to rest, and some fanning themselves.
Some of them looked at their watches. The hands of the watches were moving, and there were only two minutes left until ten o'clock, but no one spoke.
"Report!! The target has already set off ten seconds ago and is now flying towards us quickly."
Suddenly, a soldier on a platform at the foot of the mountain reported loudly.
Suddenly, everyone looked in the same direction.
A black dot appeared in the distant sky, and then it grew bigger and bigger, slowly becoming visible to everyone.
I saw a man hugging a woman with a good figure with one arm, and holding the other hand of another woman with an equally outstanding appearance and temperament.
Three people were standing on a ball of transparent water, the two beauties had long fluttering hair, but everyone's eyes were on the person standing in the middle.
The people who came were Du Ruo, with Xiang Yuanyuan and Li Qiyao. At this time, Du Ruo was standing between the two women, but she was the most eye-catching one.
Everyone has long known that Du Ruo can fly, and some have even seen Du Ruo flying through photos or videos taken by satellites and some military drones.
But when Du Ruo and his men flew in front of them, everyone was so shocked that they were speechless.
Du Ruo's appearance was not outstanding, and her clothes were ordinary, but her skin was slightly better, her spirit was stronger, her eyes were deeper, and with the sunlight from afar, Du Ruo's temperament was somewhat extraordinary.
In fact, it is very simple for a man to attract everyone's attention. He doesn't need to dress up much. As long as you can stand in the sky and fly, other people's attention will naturally be attracted to you.
"All the leaders are here, so please help take care of my wife."
Just as everyone was looking at Du Ruo, Du Ruo had already carried the water ball to the huge rock on Lotus Peak.
After Du Ruo landed, the water under her feet naturally dissipated. When the two women stood firmly on the stone, Du Ruo bowed to the old men in the circle.
"Okay, Xiang girl, you guys sit over here."
The first one to speak was Old Wang. He had been in contact with Du Ruo for the longest time and had developed some immunity to him. After Du Ruo spoke, he moved to the side, leaving an empty space.
Du Ruo nodded, watched the two women stand up, and turned to look at Tiandu Peak beside them.
"It's almost time, I should start."
Du Ruo said this, and without waiting for anyone to answer, he took a step forward.
Du Ruo took a big step and stepped directly from the huge rock on the top of Lotus Peak into the void.
Du Ruo's footsteps landed in the air, and a red lotus appeared, dragging Du Ruo's body.
He continued to move forward without stopping. The red lotuses in the sky appeared golden under the sunlight. Even though Du Ruo had already left the lotuses, they were still blooming in the air.
Du Ruo walked like a lotus with every step, and under the gaze of everyone, he walked straight from the Lotus Peak to the Tiandu Peak.
Only when Du Ruo stood still did the lotus in the air slowly dissipate. (End of this chapter)
