"Okay, let's stop here today. This matter is a bit complicated and involves a lot of things. I guess it will take a lot of meetings to decide."
Old Wang took the lead and stood up. The other old men followed politely and saw Du Ruo off.
"Mr. Du, if you need anything, just let me know. It's just..."
When they arrived at the door, Fox had already parked the car. Seeing everyone coming, he quickly got out and opened the door. However, before Du Ruo got in, Old Wang still expressed his attitude.
This is to hope that Du Ruo can, as before, try his best to help them when needed, and the terms of exchange will of course remain the same as before.
"Don't worry, I'm not a very selfish person. The previous mode of getting along was very good, and I like it very much. You can still come to me if you need anything. But forget about anything too troublesome. I don't feel like moving recently."
Du Ruo first asked Xiang Yuanyuan and Li Qiyao to get in the car and sit in the back seat. After closing the door, Du Ruo came to the passenger seat and opened the window. Du Ruo spoke to the old men standing at the door:
"Oh, here's a piece of advice for you."
"Please tell me!"
Mr. Wang nodded, looking as if he was listening seriously.
"The emergence of spiritual energy will definitely change many things. Although the spiritual energy is very thin now, the impact it causes cannot be ignored. Especially in this situation where a long drought has finally ended, the impact it can cause will be very great."
Du Ruo spoke casually, and Fox, who was sitting in the driver's seat, saw that Du Ruo was still talking, so he did not drive directly, but stared straight at the windshield in front of him.
"Thank you for the reminder. Don't worry, we will conduct a thorough investigation as soon as possible. We will also look for and communicate with some folk experts in advance to minimize any possible chaos."
Mr. Wang took a step forward and answered seriously.
This is also a very normal thing. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Central Plains. I don’t know how many people who have practiced traditional martial arts are hiding in some unknown places.
Although these people may not be able to refine their "essence" to the level of sublimation like Du Ruo due to their innate reasons, it is possible that they will be able to refine their "spirit" and "qi" to an extremely high level.
If such people are not found in the first time, once they come into contact with spiritual energy, they may cause trouble. What's more, they are in urgent need of recruiting such talents to deal with possible changes in the future.
Moreover, these old men have also heard Du Ruo say that with the blessing of "spiritual energy", his various abilities may be greatly enhanced. If Du Ruo can do it, then others must be able to do it as well.
"Haha, no, you haven't understood one thing yet."
Du Ruo smiled and shook his head. He certainly understood that these old men wanted to recruit those hidden masters, but he felt that these people underestimated the possible impact of the revival of spiritual energy.
"Humans are not the largest group in the world, and they were not the dominant group from the beginning. Humans' advantage lies in their IQ."
Du Ruo pointed to his head, then looked at Mr. Wang with a serious face and said the following words very seriously:
"Animals and plants have purer instincts and are better at hunting genes and techniques. They can find and absorb spiritual energy more directly."
"I see. Thanks for the reminder."
Old Wang was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth and wanted to ask more, but when he saw that Du Ruo had turned his head and no longer looked at him, he could only nod and thank him, and then stopped asking questions.
Du Ruo waved his hand, and the vehicle started slowly and drove slowly out of the military camp.
Watching the car leave, the old men looked at each other, and then without any communication, they just nodded to each other, and then did not go back to the private room, but walked towards the airport.
Everyone already knows Du Ruo's abilities. If they were to discuss it here, it would be the same as discussing it in Du Ruo's ear.
They need to go back to Kyoto and hold a meeting using their unique encrypted method to discuss today's events.
They have many psychological experts and quite a few special talents.
These people do nothing but study Du Ruo's various possible abilities, psychology, and personality.
No matter it was Fox or Old Wang, every time they came to meet Du Ruo, they would relay every word and even every expression of Du Ruo during the meeting after returning, and then someone would study it.
Just like after Du Ruo demonstrated an ability similar to telepathy, he never heard these old men and foxes thinking about him in their hearts again. Even when facing him, these people hardly showed any expression.
It’s just that Du Ruo doesn’t care about these things.
He knew that he was not as smart as those people, so he didn't think about competing with them in wits and courage.
He used open strategies because he now holds the most core things and is qualified to do so.
In the car, the fox drove silently, not asking what he shouldn't ask and not saying what he shouldn't say.
"Refine your essence into Qi, refine your Qi into spirit, and refine your spirit back to emptiness. Spiritual energy can make up for certain innate deficiencies to a large extent. Some things are really missed once you miss them. You and Tiger should not rush for success. First fill the gaps in your body so that you can go further in the future."
As Dujia Village was visible from afar, Du Ruo, who had originally had his eyes closed, suddenly spoke without any reason.
"Um, okay Mr. Du."
The fox who was driving thought about what Du Ruo said and immediately nodded seriously. She knew that Du Ruo was teaching her.
Thinking back, she and Lao Hu had tried to test Du Ruo and had exchanged two moves with him. Later, she had seen with her own eyes that Du Ruo had shown even more abilities.
In addition, she had been in contact with Du Ruo and had observed Du Ruo in her daily life. It can be said that her understanding of Du Ruo was no less than Xiang Yuanyuan. Naturally, she could tell that Du Ruo had good intentions.
After Du Ruo finished speaking, he stopped talking and the car quickly drove to the door of the new house.
"Meow!!!"
As Du Ruo opened the car door, Clouded Leopard rushed out of the house with a somewhat angry voice, barking as he ran towards him.
But it did not climb directly onto Du Ruo's shoulder. Instead, it jumped into Xiang Yuanyuan's arms, and then looked at Du Ruo with an indignant look.
It was obvious that the little guy was quite unhappy about Du Ruo going out to play without taking it with him.
But Du Ruo didn't even look at it and walked into the house first.
A lot of things happened today, he needed to have a good rest, and he also needed to talk with Xiang Yuanyuan and Li Qiyao.
After the three people got off the car, the fox drove away without stopping.
"Qiqi, hold this guy for a while, husband, I'll run you some water, you can take a bath in the bathtub and relax."
Xiang Yuanyuan ignored the emotions of the clouded leopard in her arms, handed the clouded leopard to Li Qiyao, and then prepared to go upstairs.
"No need to run the water, I'll just take a shower."
Du Ruo refused, and after returning home, his tense heart finally relaxed.
Now he is spotless, so taking a shower is just a habitual behavior for him.
As for clothes, I really need to change into a new set.
The clothes Du Ruo is wearing now are actually just woven together by the five energies in his body. He looks neat and tidy, but in fact, except for the belt around his waist which is still intact, the trousers underneath have turned into shorts.
The belt made by Li Qiyao that Du Ruo took off was carefully preserved by Xiang Yuanyuan.
When Du Ruo changed his clothes and came out, Xiang Yuanyuan and Li Qiyao had already made tea and were waiting for him on the second-floor balcony.
The two of them were reluctant to speak at the dinner table, in fact they had quite a few questions.
It’s just that it’s not about the big picture like those old guys, but about other things.
"Hubby, is that person today really the founder of this Virgin Sect that I practice? Is Xie Ziran Xie Xian Gu?"
Xiang Yuanyuan was the most curious. When she saw Du Ruo sitting down, she put the tea in front of Du Ruo and asked impatiently.
"Yes, it should be her. Her life story and some characteristics all match. Besides, it seems that there is no need for her to use this identity."
Du Ruo nodded, but didn't go to drink tea. Instead, he reached out and picked up the clouded leopard lying on Xiang Yuanyuan's legs.
"Don't hold this thing all the time in the future. It's almost 20 kilograms. Don't get tired."
The clouded leopard originally wanted to show some temper, but after being patted on the head by Du Ruo, it immediately became well-behaved.
"So she really lived for more than a thousand years?"
Xiang Yuanyuan's eyes lit up. She was a little curious about this, but in fact, this was not what interested her the most.
"It's not that she lived for more than a thousand years, but that she chose to become a god more than a thousand years ago. In fact, what I didn't say today is that becoming a god is not just about practicing, but you can only become a god after you die. Only you two know about this matter, and you must keep it a secret, otherwise it will cause a lot of confusion."
Du Ruo touched the clouded leopard's fur, then looked at the two women without choosing to hide it.
When he was talking to those old men, he said that only by practicing can one become a god, which means imprinting one's original spirit between heaven and earth on one's own initiative.
He deliberately concealed his beliefs and methods of becoming a god, such as pardoning and deifying, because human nature is the most uncontrollable, and he did not want to gamble on whether those in power would go to extremes when faced with becoming a god.
But he knew that if those people knew about it, many ordinary people would suffer, which was not in line with his purpose and would be asking for trouble, so he simply concealed it.
Of course, he did not tell the two women the specific method of becoming a god, not because he was afraid that the two women would use it, but because he was afraid that they would reveal it. "Then after becoming a god, can you stay young like Fairy Xie?"
Xiang Yuanyuan blinked and looked at Du Ruo.
"...Not only are you young, you can also create your own body at will. Even if your body is broken, you can use the soul of the heaven and earth mark and absorb spiritual energy to revive again."
Du Ruo didn't expect Xiang Yuanyuan to ask this. As expected, what women care about most is their appearance.
"Hehe, then after I give birth to the baby, I will also practice hard."
Xiang Yuanyuan was indeed motivated. She clenched her fists and cheered herself up.
Even Li Qiyao standing next to him had eyes shining with motivation.
Du Ruo just smiled and said nothing. He took out another cup and poured a pot of tea. He did not say that he would not let the two of them die even if they did not practice. There is nothing wrong with practicing. If the two of them can practice to become immortals, there is no need to become gods.
For Du Ruo, becoming a god is just the last way out for his family, not his first choice.
"Hubby, what is spiritual energy like? If it is so powerful, why don't you practice in seclusion for a while and then work hard to absorb spiritual energy?"
However, Xiang Yuanyuan was most concerned about Du Ruo. When she saw Du Ruo pouring a cup of tea beside her, she didn't care but instead showed concern for Du Ruo.
“As for spiritual energy, I’ll grab a strand of it later so you can feel it. I can only say that the effect of spiritual energy may have exceeded your imagination.
As for practicing in seclusion, there is no need for that. In fact, I released these spiritual energies on purpose as bait. Only when they taste the sweetness will they work hard to practice. The more people practice, the more spiritual energy will be attracted, which will be more beneficial to me. "
Du Ruo thought about it and finally said nothing more than this.
"Oh."
Xiang Yuanyuan nodded as if she understood, but did not ask any more questions about spiritual energy. She had already seen that Du Ruo definitely had his own plans, so she would just do as Du Ruo said.
"Du Ruo! Du Ruo!!"
The three of them continued to drink tea and chat. Xiang Yuanyuan asked some questions about gods, and Li Qiyao would occasionally ask a few questions out of curiosity, until loud shouts were heard downstairs.
"Stop shouting and come up by yourself."
When Du Ruo heard Yang Chenguang's shouting, he didn't move at all. He just shouted and asked him to come up by himself.
"Du Ruo, where did you go at noon? Did you know that something big happened on the mountain today? I couldn't get through to your phone, and I came to look for you but couldn't see you."
Yang Chenguang trotted upstairs and wiped the sweat from his head. After he finished speaking, he picked up the cup of tea that Du Ruo had poured and drank it in one gulp.
"Something big happened."
Du Ruo's expression didn't change, but he seemed quite interested in Yuanyuan.
"You don't know? Didn't you see the strange phenomenon at the center of the top of Huangshan Mountain today?"
Yang Chenguang didn't expect that the three of them didn't know about this. However, when he thought about how he couldn't get through to Du Ruo and didn't see anyone when he ran over, he immediately explained in a vivid way because they were out:
"In the morning, there was fog on the top of Huangshan Mountain, but in an instant the fog was cleared away, revealing a huge circle."
As Yang Chenguang spoke, he gestured with his hands. Seeing that Du Ruo didn't care much, he quickly continued:
"That's not all. Many people saw it. First, a gate appeared in the sky. The gate was antique, and then a huge sword appeared. The sword blocked out the sky and tried to cut the gate open. Finally, a legendary dragon appeared. The whole scene lasted for quite a long time, and many people took photos of it and posted them online."
Yang Chenguang described it vividly, and his face was extremely excited while he spoke.
"Oh, this is what you are talking about. We know this. We were on the mountain at that time."
Du Ruo nodded and spoke casually while refilling Yang Chenguang's tea.
"Hmm? You guys are on the mountain?"
Yang Chenguang looked at Du Ruo and saw that he didn't seem to be lying. He was about to ask more questions, but he heard Xiang Yuanyuan asking curiously.
"Yes, Qiqi and I went there."
"Woc~ Did you take any pictures? And were there a lot of big shots on the mountain today?"
Yang Chenguang suddenly looked excited and asked curiously.
"There were a lot of big names, but we didn't bring our phones, so we didn't take any photos. But... don't you think there's something wrong with your focus?"
Xiang Yuanyuan looked at Yang Chenguang with curiosity, but she couldn't quite understand his reaction.
Seeing the huge portal, swords and dragons, shouldn't it be shocking? Why is Yang Chenguang's focus on whether Du Ruo took photos and whether there are important people on the mountain?
"Ah? What's the problem?"
Now Yang Chenguang didn't understand. After thinking about it, he didn't find anything wrong with his reaction.
"Why are you focusing on taking pictures and whether there are any important people? Shouldn't you be focusing on the huge door, swords, dragons, and so on?"
At this time, even Li Qiyao who was standing by couldn't understand it, so she took the initiative to ask Xiang Yuanyuan's question.
"Ah? What's so concerning about this? Isn't it just a drone and fireworks show? This is what everyone on the Internet is speculating about. They say that Huangshan Mountain was closed a few days ago, and many soldiers went up the mountain because some important people were going to have a party on the mountain. What's wrong with having a drone show? Aren't you guys on the mountain? Shouldn't you be clearing it out more?"
When Yang Chenguang said this, he couldn't help scratching his head, not quite understanding what Li Qiyao meant.
In fact, when he first saw her, his first reaction was confusion, and then he came to find Du Ruo out of curiosity.
However, Du Ruo didn't find it. Then when he was searching online, he saw people's comments and explanations and then he realized that it was no wonder that there was such a strange sight and the deafening sound of fireworks.
"Have you ever thought that it wasn't just a so-called drone show, but something real?"
At this time, Du Ruo leaned back in a solid wood chair, stroking the clouded leopard with his hand, and said something casually.
“Ah! Ah? You…you you you…”
Yang Chenguang was confused at first, then shocked, and finally pointed at Du Ruo. Thinking of Du Ruo's miraculous performances during this period, his face was filled with disbelief.
I want to ask, but I don’t know how to ask. I want to say, but I don’t know what to say.
"Wife, go to my study and bring me the book on the far left."
Du Ruo did not explain too much, but looked at Xiang Yuanyuan.
"I'll go..."
Li Qiyao didn't let Xiang Yuanyuan get up and walked quickly towards the study.
"Chen Guang, the times are about to change. I won't say more. If you believe me, after you go back, even your children will start practicing according to what is in this booklet."
Du Ruo stood up and patted Yang Chenguang on the shoulder, then took the booklet from Li Qiyao and stuffed it into Yang Chenguang's hand.
"This...is this?"
Yang Chenguang took a look at the booklet in his hand. There was no name on it, but after opening it, he found that it was filled with various physical exercise methods, with both text and pictures.
"This is the most basic introduction to martial arts. It's easy to understand and most suitable for children to get started. However, it hasn't started to circulate yet, so you have to keep it carefully. If you accidentally lose it, it will be quite troublesome."
Du Ruo gave a brief explanation, but did not continue to talk about what happened on the top of Mount Huangshan.
"Okay, I believe you."
Finally, Yang Chenguang picked up the tea on the table and drank it in one gulp. After suppressing his inner shock, he held the booklet and nodded heavily.
"Well, you let your child practice the first part of the movement. You and your wife won't start with the breathing in and out in the middle. Your parents can try the meditation in the back."
This booklet was created by Du Ruo at the request of Mr. Wang to simplify the practice.
Before, this booklet would not be very useful, but if it is added with spiritual energy, the effect will definitely be unexpected.
What's more, this is at the foot of Mount Huangshan, and Du Ruo opened the Tianmen at the top of Mount Huangshan.
If you start practicing now, you will definitely benefit greatly.
