Du Ruo's voice was not loud, but it could reach everyone's ears. Not only that, even those who were watching him from a distance by filming could clearly hear what Du Ruo said.
He had dealt with these people many times and knew that there was definitely someone watching him behind the surveillance camera.
He took the initiative to talk about things like nuclear bombs, and hid the "three flowers" on his head right after he came out, which can be regarded as a verification of his identity.
Almost as soon as Du Ruo finished speaking, the surrounding drones began to fly in an orderly manner towards the Lotus Peak nearby.
This made Du Ruo take a few more glances. He originally thought that these drones would fly down the mountain like other drones.
But if you think about it, you can understand that thing is a nuclear bomb after all.
"Ugh……"
Du Ruo took a quick look and saw soldiers or scientific researchers on every mountain. Du Ruo sighed.
Sometimes, I feel that some things and people are disgusting, but more often, I feel disgusted when I see people like these people on the mountain. They know that there is a nuclear bomb and it is very likely to explode, but they still stay on the mountain.
Du Ruo was about to leave, but he had already found Xiang Yuanyuan's location.
But unexpectedly, he found that on the original top of the Lotus Peak, on the lotus-shaped mountain top where a group of old men were standing, there was an old man standing there looking at him.
After thinking about it, Du Ruo flew straight over. Anyway, the problem was solved, so there was no need to be so anxious. He knew that Xiang Yuanyuan had also seen him through the video.
When Du Ruo arrived at the top of Lotus Peak, he was now dressed neatly. This was the clothes Du Ruo temporarily made using the "Five Qi", which could cover his body without any problem.
"Hehe, welcome back safely."
The old man was the old military man that Du Ruo had met once. When he saw Du Ruo approaching, he smiled. However, he did not ask Du Ruo about the details at first. Instead, he looked Du Ruo up and down and then said a word of welcome.
"Why is the commander here alone?"
Du Ruo nodded and asked politely, but what he meant was why he didn't leave with the others.
"Someone has to make the decision here. Otherwise, it will just be a waste of time if it has to be passed down from one level to another."
The old man also understood what Du Ruo meant, smiled, then grabbed the handrail and looked at the soldiers and scientific researchers who were busy.
“Besides, I’m just an old man here, so no matter what, others can feel more at ease.
But I'm glad you came back safely. Please come back soon. They are already at the command post. When you go into the gate, your wife is very worried and she was reluctant to leave. "
The old man waved at Du Ruo and didn't ask any more questions. Regarding this matter, someone would specifically negotiate with Du Ruo.
"Okay, I'll leave first. You don't need to study this place anymore. The crisis has been resolved."
Du Ruo nodded, said nothing more, and prepared to leave.
In fact, the portal is still suspended above the crucian carp back of Tiandu Peak.
Ever since Du Ruo opened the portal on Tiandu Peak, it has been fixed there. Du Ruo just hid it.
Moreover, Du Ruo did not close the portal again, but left it open. Of course, if "spiritual energy" appeared next, it would also begin to merge into the entire world from this position.
Although the progress bar of Du Ruo Jindan is only 0 now, he has no intention of monopolizing it and absorbs all the generated spiritual energy into his body.
Although even a mosquito leg is worth a lot of meat, he knew better that if you want the horse to run, you have to let it eat grass.
He sees no future and has no motivation. Even if martial arts are promoted globally, it will not satisfy his need to achieve the Golden Elixir in a short period of time.
So now let more people experience the benefits of Reiki. In this way, even if the practice is banned worldwide, there will be people who will find ways to practice it secretly.
So Du Ruo would not be so short-sighted at all. He would not worry about whether someone would catch up with him and leave him with no advantage.
Du Ruo could only smile. It was not so easy to practice and become an immortal.
Du Ruo had the support of heaven and earth, and had the best of time, place and people. Moreover, heaven and earth used massive spiritual energy to repair Du Ruo's foundation, so that Du Ruo had no bottleneck in his practice.
These cannot be compensated by spiritual energy. In the future, there may be a large number of practitioners who will improve their strength, but it would be amazing if there could be a practitioner who can achieve "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and Five Qis Returning to the Origin" in the next few decades or even hundreds of years.
What's more, the switch that can control the spiritual energy is now in Du Ruo's hands.
Du Ruo doesn't absorb it now just because he doesn't think highly of it. When more and more spiritual energy is being drawn in, then it will be the time for Du Ruo to absorb it.
"That's fine, that's fine."
The old man nodded, a smile appeared on his face, and he looked around again.
"When you're done, come to my house for a cup of tea. You're always welcome."
Du Ruo still had a good impression of the other party, otherwise he would have left just now.
"Haha, but forget about the tea. I heard from Old Man Wang that your medicinal wine is amazing. I will definitely go and ask for a cup when the time comes."
The old man laughed loudly, with great energy and generosity.
"By the way, do you want me to find someone to take you to the base?"
After laughing, the old man began to ask Du Ruo.
"Haha, enough drinks, let's go~"
Du Ruo didn't ask anyone to lead the way. He just smiled and flew into the air. The handle of the long sword that was originally inserted into the stone of Lotus Peak automatically followed Du Ruo and then disappeared in front of the old man in an instant.
After Du Ruo walked out of the door, he already sensed that someone had been talking about him. This was also the main reason why he was not worried about Xiang Yuanyuan's safety. He only needed to control his mind to check and he quickly found Xiang Yuanyuan's location.
When Du Ruo appeared again, he had already arrived at the military base in Huangshan where he had taken the plane before. This was also the command post that had been using military drones to monitor Du Ruo, and the fox and the tiger were stationed here permanently.
“Husband~~”
As soon as Du Ruo landed, Xiang Yuanyuan pounced on him.
He hugged Du Ruo and shouted, then he couldn't stop crying.
"It's okay, it's been dealt with. I'll have plenty of time to spend with you in the future."
Holding Xiang Yuanyuan, feeling her inner uneasiness, Du Ruo gently patted her back and comforted her softly.
"Well, you go ahead and do your work. Qiqi and I will be waiting for you on the side."
When Xiang Yuanyuan heard Du Ruo say that he had plenty of time to accompany her, she immediately understood what he meant. Her originally nervous heart suddenly relaxed. She wiped her tears, walked over, held Li Qiyao's hand and stood aside.
But she knew that those old men couldn't wait any longer.
When Du Ruo and Xie Ziran were fighting earlier, these old men became extremely nervous.
After Du Ruo entered the portal, these old men conducted various experiments and even found some professionals to analyze the conversation between Du Ruo and Xie Ziran, as well as the battle, frame by frame, in order to get some information in advance. As for whether it was for the purpose of dealing with emergencies later or for other reasons, only they themselves knew.
It’s a pity that Du Ruo and Xie Ziran only had a short exchange, and since the battle had happened, it was impossible to capture the entire conversation. Moreover, because Xie Ziran was not a modern person, even lip-reading experts could not tell what the two were talking about.
Both of them have abilities similar to telepathy. Although Du Ruo and Xie Ziran cannot see through each other's hearts, they can easily understand the meaning of each other's words.
"Mr. Du, I'm so glad you're okay."
As the person who had the most contact with Du Ruo, Mr. Wang was the first to step forward.
"Well, shall we just chat here?"
Du Ruo nodded and looked around.
"Haha, look at me, let's go~ I guess the two girls are hungry, and the food is ready, so let's eat and talk."
Old Wang patted his head, then glanced at Xiang Yuanyuan and Li Qiyao beside him, and simply invited them to the reception area.
Although few of these old men are in the mood to eat now, such actions can eliminate some of their utilitarianism. After all, it is already afternoon, and it is normal to chat while eating.
The group eventually went to a private room, and as they took their seats, the food was quickly served.
The food is not exquisite, but it is plentiful.
"That woman calls herself Dongji, and she is the only person in history who ascended to heaven in broad daylight."
Du Ruo had just sat down and had no intention of wasting time. He stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of pork chop for Xiang Yuanyuan, and then he dropped a bombshell.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Du Ruo, some were confused, some were shocked, even Xiang Yuanyuan, who had originally picked up the chopsticks to eat the ribs, stood there in a daze, staring at Du Ruo.
She was not interested at first. After all, her husband was so capable and no longer an ordinary person. She already had a big heart.
But who could blame Du Ruo for saying that this person had some relationship with her? You know, she was practicing the Shangqing technique inherited from the Virgin Sect. "Xie Ziran from the Tang Dynasty?"
Mr. Wang knew this. After all, it was he who had asked people to collect information about the Virgin Girl Sect after hearing the name Xie Ziran.
"Yes, that's her."
Du Ruo picked up another piece of fish with chopsticks and ate it while responding casually.
"Xie Ziran, Taoist name Dongji Zhenren, was a native of Nanchong, Sichuan during the Tang Dynasty. According to historical records..."
Seeing that some people didn't understand, Mr. Wang simply started to explain it to them.
"So she has lived for more than a thousand years? Where is she now?"
After hearing this, the oldest man at the table was the first to ask, his tone full of shock.
"He has lived for more than a thousand years. Now, after being dispersed by me, he has been sealed again."
Du Ruo didn't look at the other person's expression. He just poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip.
"seal?"
"Since there is Xie Ziran, are there others?"
"What kind of world is behind the door?"
……
At this time, the others could no longer sit still and started asking questions one after another, as if they would not feel comfortable until they had expressed all their curiosity.
But Du Ruo didn't say a word. She just drank the wine, ate the food, and occasionally picked up some of Xiang Yuanyuan's favorite food.
He didn't look anxious at all.
"okay!"
Seeing that Du Ruo didn't say anything, even though he had a lot of questions in his mind, he also understood that asking in this way was definitely not the most effective way, so he glanced at the dining table and asked these people to quiet down temporarily.
"Mr. Du, I'm sorry, we are really curious. Please tell us the story first. If we have any questions, please answer them."
General Wang was very humble and even stood up from his seat. He came over and picked up the bottle to fill Du Ruo's glass with wine.
"Okay, then let me first tell you the cause and effect of the matter."
In fact, Du Ruo was not angry or impatient. He was very satisfied with these people's excitement and curiosity. This was a test for him. It was very important and almost determined how he would promote martial arts in the future. If these people were not interested, he would be the one with a headache.
"In fact, as my martial arts skills improved, especially after I came back from the United States last time, I felt more and more that some of the methods I used should not have such power. At that time, I felt that this world must be lacking something."
Du Ruojiang took a sip of wine and then put the glass down.
The others were also attracted by Du Ruo's words. They knew what kind of great deeds Du Ruo had done in the United States, but they did not ask. Instead, they waited quietly for Du Ruo to continue.
"This kind of thing can allow me to mobilize the power of heaven and earth and perform true divine methods, such as moving mountains and seas, and calling the wind and rain."
Du Ruo paused when he said this, as if to explain the previous cause.
“Then, as my cultivation reached a bottleneck and I could no longer make progress, I set my sights on the portal that appeared after I reached the realm of ‘Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and Five Qis Returning to the Origin’.
I call it the Heaven's Gate. I think what I lack should be behind the Heaven's Gate, so I made this attempt to open the Heaven's Gate today."
"I opened the gate of heaven, but what came was not the material I expected, nor was it me who ascended to heaven, but the person who called himself Dongji Zhenren."
"We took action because after the portal was opened, Xie Ziran wanted to lure me into becoming a god."
"The price of becoming a god is to be free from the body and to be immortal and live forever in the world."
Du Ruo said this deliberately, and it was also the core of what he wanted to express today. However, his expression did not change at all. After saying this, he continued to speak without paying attention to other people's expressions:
"Abandoning the body means death. I was somewhat disgusted by the other party's sneak attack, and I couldn't just trust him, so I took action."
Next, Du Ruo told the story of the operation and what he discovered during the operation.
The story naturally attracted everyone's attention. Even Xiang Yuanyuan and Li Qiyao didn't care about being hungry and kept listening to every word of Du Ruo.
Then Du Ruo continued talking, and even told everyone what he saw and heard inside and what happened between the immortals and gods.
However, when Du Ruo said it, he made some slight changes.
It's not about what Xie Ziran told him, but the information he learned from the panel.
Because the answers given by the panel are more convincing and more complete.
Du Ruo talked about immortals, gods, and spiritual energy, and even told him about his discovery of spiritual energy.
But it only hides how to become a "God".
It only talks about how people can use spiritual energy to practice and become immortals and gods.
"…After I discovered the spiritual energy, I came out of the portal, and that's all."
After Du Ruo finished speaking, he picked up his chopsticks again and continued eating without caring about other people's reactions. Not only did he eat and drink himself, he also asked Xiang Yuanyuan and Li Qiyao to continue eating.
The others looked at each other in bewilderment. What Du Ruo said contained too much information. It would take some time for the old men to absorb and digest what Du Ruo said. No one asked any more questions for a while.
For a moment, the only sound at the table was Du Ruo's eating and drinking. Even Xiang Yuanyuan and Li Qiyao only ate a little symbolically. They also needed to digest what Du Ruo had just said.
"In other words, the reason why people couldn't practice before was because there was no spiritual energy between heaven and earth. In the future, spiritual energy will appear between heaven and earth. The more people practice, the more spiritual energy will be?"
Finally, one of the old men took the lead and asked a question, which went straight to the core of "aura".
Everything Du Ruo said cannot be verified, and the things about immortals and gods are actually not important, especially since Du Ruo said that if he doesn't see the seal of heaven opened, those gods will not be able to awaken. In this case, then we don't need to pay attention to the so-called gods for the time being.
"That's right, the Heavenly Gate has been opened. Although it has re-entered the void, the spiritual energy drawn in will continue to flow in, unless I close the gate again."
Du Ruo nodded. This kind of thing can actually be verified. The appearance of spiritual energy will definitely lead to a series of reactions, so he doesn't need to explain too much.
"Then what does Mr. Du think about promoting martial arts?"
After Du Ruo's affirmation, Mr. Wang began to test Du Ruo's attitude.
He did not foolishly ask Du Ruo to close the Heavenly Gate and prevent spiritual energy from coming in, because the reality was very clear. Du Ruo had already said that spiritual energy was necessary for cultivation. Not allowing spiritual energy to come in was tantamount to letting Du Ruo destroy his own future, wasn't it?
Therefore, Du Ruo’s attitude now is the key to the whole matter and also the focus of their future discussions.
"What can I think? I don't care. Although there is less spiritual energy now, it can meet my needs. If there is more spiritual energy in the world, I can absorb more. If there is less spiritual energy, I will absorb less. Anyway, I am not in a hurry to become an immortal. I haven't enjoyed enough real life.
In the future, I may stay at home to accompany my wife and take care of the kids, and at most teach my relatives and friends to practice cultivation."
Du Ruo smiled casually. He really wanted to promote martial arts. Naturally, the more spiritual energy the better. After all, he could afford to wait, but his family might not.
But he did not intend to show that kind of urgency. This was not something that he could solve by being anxious. Doing so would only make him controlled by others.
The most important thing now is to get out, and he believes that there will be people who are more anxious than him.
Next, the old men asked about more spiritual energy and Du Ruo’s attitude.
Du Ruo answered while eating.
But his attitude has not changed, that is, he doesn't care whether martial arts should be promoted or not.
Even when those old men vaguely asked Du Ruo whether he was interested in power, Du Ruo directly refused. His attitude was obvious, saying that he didn't care about anything and had no interest in shouldering heavy responsibilities.
Du Ruo had already thought of all these. He didn't think he could outsmart these old guys.
These old guys seemed to be polite and good to him, but in fact, each of them had his own plans. His greatest strength was his fighting ability, so it was enough to maintain this. As long as he stayed out of trouble, he would not be calculated by these people.
"Okay, we've finished eating, and you all understand most of the situation now. Let's go back first. I won't be responsible for the rest of the matter. If you have any questions, come to me later."
Almost all the sumptuous food on the huge round table went into Du Ruo's stomach alone.
After finishing the wine in the glass, Du Ruo took the initiative to end the topic and prepared to get up and leave.
