"Well, let's go back and check if we can see if we have captured any of them."
After saying this, Mr. Wang closed his eyes. The shock he received today was absolutely unprecedented.
It turns out that people can really do this.
"Three flowers gather at the top of the head, five qi converge to the origin, and what is that door? What is behind the door? Du..."
When Mr. Wang thought of these things, he subconsciously thought of Du Ruo, but he immediately became alert at this moment, and the look in Du Ruo's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts when they looked at each other appeared in his mind.
He opened his eyes directly, not wanting to think about it anymore. What Du Ruo had shown before was really too divine. He was the kind of person who could know the content of their confidential meeting in Kyoto thousands of miles away.
There is also the ability that is similar to his telepathy, which forces him to treat it with caution. Although it is a bit mysterious, he has decided not to think about things related to Du Ruo in his mind.
Thinking of this, Mr. Wang pressed a button, and a partition on the car opened. He took out paper and pen from the partition, and began to write while thinking.
He needed to record today's events and his speculations in writing, but when he was about to write Du Ruo's name, he hesitated and finally replaced Du Ruo's name with a symbol.
He didn't know if this could prevent Du Ruo's telepathic ability, but he at least needed to try.
……
"Honey, please give the baby a name."
At night, after Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan finished washing up, Xiang Yuanyuan lay on the bed with his arms propped up, looking at Du Ruo who was about to lie down to sleep, and suddenly said something.
"Hmm? Isn't this still early?"
Du Ruo answered casually, but soon he understood why Xiang Yuanyuan asked this.
What he showed today was indeed beyond our comprehension. Perhaps Xiang Yuanyuan was afraid that the door was the path to immortality.
Once Du Ruo opens the portal, if the portal leads to the legendary fairyland, she should be worried that Du Ruo will never come back.
"Don't worry, honey. You are my anchor. We won't separate so easily. Besides, it's only been less than three months. There's no rush."
Du Ruo gently held Xiang Yuanyuan in her arms. She had no intention of naming the baby as Xiang Yuanyuan had said. Instead, she gently comforted Xiang Yuanyuan.
"But I'm afraid~"
Xiang Yuanyuan pressed her face against Du Ruo's chest, feeling the strong heartbeat with one hand and placing the other hand on her lower abdomen.
She had never thought of stopping Du Ruo or becoming an obstacle to Du Ruo. She had no objection to any role Du Ruo played.
To put it bluntly, she used to think that if she couldn't give birth, or couldn't leave a child for Du Ruo, then once Du Ruo left, she would never come back.
She is taking care of both sets of parents and will follow them to the end of their lives...
The reason why she pretended to be drunk was that she thought she might be in poor health due to drinking too much, so she asked Li Qiyao... It must have been painful to make the decision, but she had no regrets.
Now that she has a baby, she finally has something to worry about. No matter what, she will raise the baby and leave some bloodline for the Du family.
Even though she had thought everything through clearly in her mind, she still couldn't help but worry. When she thought about the possibility of losing Du Ruo, she felt suffocated, as if her soul was being sucked out.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'll always be here, go to sleep, go to sleep, don't worry, I'll always be here."
Du Ruo comforted Xiang Yuanyuan, but his mind was full of thoughts.
He thought about Xiang Yuanyuan, the baby in her belly, his parents, Yaya's family, the clouded leopard, and everything.
As he was thinking, in the darkness, his eyes unconsciously looked through the ceiling and towards the door in the sky.
Now that he had the key, all he had to do was wait for his body's transformation to be complete and the door to become completely solid. Unconsciously, he began to wonder what was behind the door.
I don’t know if there is a world full of spiritual energy behind it, or if it is the legendary heaven behind it, or if it is just a portal. After opening it, you can go to a certain place in the universe, or... there is a trap behind the door, and there is a big mouth behind it waiting for food to be delivered to it...
Everything is unknown, Du Ruo only hopes that the panel can give him a little hint so that he can prepare in advance.
……
But the prompt that Du Ruo expected did not come.
Nearly a week had passed since the last time Old Wang came over, and the three flowers on Du Ruo's head quietly blossomed in the night, while the five energies in his body returned to their origins and became orderly inside his body.
But this change did not wake Du Ruo from his sleep. Instead, he slept more peacefully.
Du Ruo slept very comfortably that day, even curling up her body.
Not only that, Du Ruo rarely woke up before dawn in the morning. Instead, he didn't wake up until the clouded leopard swept its tail across his face several times.
"You came to the bed again, get off quickly, or Yuanyuan will come and beat you up."
Du Ruo woke up, yawned, drove the clouded leopard away, looked out the window, and saw that the sun was shining brightly outside.
"'Three Flowers Gather at the Top of the Head, Five Qis Return to the Origin'. As expected, there is no clue given to me. This is forcing me to open the door. So, what are your origins? What is your purpose?"
Du Ruo walked down from the bed barefoot, opened the window to ventilate the room, and then observed the panel.
The transformation status on the panel has disappeared.
The progress of "Three Flowers and Five Qi" was stuck at 100%, and the subsequent progress that Du Ruo expected did not appear.
Looking up again, Du Ruo discovered that the portal had been completely solidified. This made Du Ruo realize that if he wanted to make any further progress, he had to open the portal.
This also made Du Ruo re-examine this little game that changed his destiny.
Du Ruo even used his soul to search carefully inside his body, but he couldn't find any clues about the mini-game program and panel.
With Du Ruo's current level of cultivation, he is unable to find out its source, which also makes Du Ruo feel a little sad.
When Du Ruo was still an ordinary person, he naturally regarded obtaining the golden finger as a treasure, because it was an opportunity to change his destiny. No matter what conspiracy was behind it, it was not that important to him at that time.
But now it is different. He has achieved the ultimate that ordinary people can achieve. Money, power, and beauty seem to be within his reach. Then Du Ruo has to consider more things.
For example, what exactly is this panel in your mind, and what possible conspiracy may exist behind it.
But his soul didn't find any traces, and seemed to be forcing him to open the portal. Du Ruo knew that if he didn't go and open it, the existence of the panel or even the control panel would inevitably force him.
"Hubby, wake up. It's rare that you sleep so well today."
Xiang Yuanyuan walked in from outside, looked at Du Ruo standing by the bed barefoot in pajamas, said something with a smile, and then went to make the bed.
"I have achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of my Head and the Five Qis Returning to the Origin. The transformation of my body has also been completed."
Du Ruo turned around and said softly.
"Ah, isn't this a good thing? We have reached a new level."
Xiang Yuanyuan paused for a moment while making the bed, then a smile appeared on her face and she continued to make the bed. However, she did not dare to look at Du Ruo. She kept her head down and her tone was forced to be relaxed.
"Wife, I want to stay in seclusion for a few days."
Du Ruo walked over and hugged Xiang Yuanyuan from behind, placing his palm on Xiang Yuanyuan's abdomen.
"Why so sudden?"
Xiang Yuanyuan stopped what she was doing, leaned back, and pressed her back tightly against Du Ruo's chest.
"I need to calm my mind completely, and then speculate whether opening the door will bring good or bad luck."
Du Ruo leaned his head forward, rested it on Xiang Yuanyuan's shoulder, and gently rubbed his face against hers.
He did not hide it from Xiang Yuanyuan, and he really wanted to do so this time.
This transformation is the transformation of the Three Flowers and Five Qi, the essence, energy and spirit, and the five internal organs in the body, which can be regarded as the sublimation of the whole person.
Many things and events have become completely different in his sight or perception.
In the past, it was only the weather, time and the like, but now, he feels that he can sense a lot of good and bad luck, natural disasters and man-made calamities at any time.
That door was like Pandora's box. No matter what, he couldn't just open it.
His own safety may not be that important, but he still has a family, so it is always right to be cautious. Even if there is a possibility that his perception is blinded, he does not want to be so reckless. This is not just about his future.
"Well, just at home? Or go to the mountain? How long will it take? Is there anything you want me to do?" Xiang Yuanyuan nodded without saying much. She even felt a little happy in her heart. The later the better.
"Just at home... in the alchemy room. You don't need to prepare anything. If it's not urgent, don't call me. If there is an emergency, I will come out by myself. Just proceed as usual."
Du Ruo thought about it and chose the alchemy room on the first floor. No one else went in there except him, so it was relatively quiet. Besides, he just needed to calmly sense it. What was important was the heart, and it did not require too much preparation.
"Well, shall we start today?"
Xiang Yuanyuan nodded slightly to show that she understood.
"Well, I'll go after I wash up."
"Then I'll find you some clothes, and then breakfast will be ready soon, would you like to eat something?"
"Just find some clothes, um~ something plain, and skip breakfast. If you're hungry, I'll just bring some pills."
Finally, Du Ruo cleaned himself up thoroughly and then went into the alchemy room.
Watching the door close, Xiang Yuanyuan held the clouded leopard down, while Li Qiyao held the black cat and the white cat in her arms.
"Yuanyuan, don't worry, there's no danger."
Li Qiyao looked at Xiang Yuanyuan who was standing there and comforted her softly.
"That's not what I'm worried about. Let's go. Breakfast is ready. From today on, you three little brats are not allowed to get close to this room, let alone scratch the door. Otherwise... humph!"
Xiang Yuanyuan shook her head and said something in a very low voice. After that, she pointed at the clouded leopard in her arms and the two cats in Li Qiyao's arms and spoke in a stern tone.
As he spoke, he made a tapping gesture with his hands.
For the next few days, the clouded leopard and the black and white cat were watched closely. In the new house, even Xiang Yuanyuan and Li Qiyao spoke in much lower voices.
Even though Du Ruo told them to just keep doing what they normally do, they still couldn't help but lower their voices.
Yaya originally wanted to come to her uncle's house to eat fish, but Xiang Yuanyuan did not agree and instead took her to play with her parents.
Li Qiyao hasn't practiced martial arts these days. When Xiang Yuanyuan goes out, she will be at home. When she goes out, Xiang Yuanyuan will definitely be at home.
And Du Ruo has been sitting cross-legged and meditating in the alchemy room these past few days.
He neither practiced nor slept, and even his soul imprisoned his mind inside his body, not allowing him to have any thoughts.
When the body and mind are completely calm, some people can see light, spots of light, spots of light, and circles of light, but Du Ruo only sees himself.
It was the first time that he observed himself so carefully and seriously, but unfortunately, from inside to outside, he did not find any clues or abnormalities about the panel.
Du Ruo knew this well, so after some investigation, he no longer focused on himself, but began to sense the future silently.
Du Ruo would be able to sense when someone was peeping at him, and his body would also have a certain sense of crisis when there was danger or threat. However, this time, he did not discover anything when he was concentrating on sensing.
Du Ruo didn't know whether this was a good thing or not, but he knew that this meditation had made him ready to face the future.
It also allowed him to put aside some of his concerns.
He didn't want to wait any longer this time. He had no regrets anyway, so he might as well face it directly.
"Five days later, 10 . is a good time. The carp back on the top of Huangshan Mountain is also good. The carp leaping over the Dragon Gate is a good omen. So let's open the 'Gate of Heaven' on that day. I don't know if it will be easy to open."
In the end, Du Ruo didn't get any useful information, but he also felt that it was an auspicious time and day.
After confirming, Du Ruo stood up, pushed the door and walked out.
"Honey~ How are you? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
Almost as soon as Du Ruo opened the door, Xiang Yuanyuan noticed it and ran over. The first thing she asked was whether Du Ruo was hungry.
"Okay, I want to eat stinky mandarin fish. You have learned it from mom for so long, so cook one for me. And give me two bowls of rice."
Du Ruo smiled and did not refuse.
"Yeah, then you sit for a while, I'll go to the refrigerator and take out the stinky mandarin fish now."
Xiang Yuanyuan was very happy. She asked Du Ruo to sit down first and then walked towards the kitchen.
Du Ruo watched Xiang Yuanyuan go to the kitchen, but did not sit down. Instead, she went to the second floor and picked up the phone from the bedside table in the room.
Without hesitation, he opened the address book and made a call.
"Mr. Du!!"
The phone rang only once, and then the fox's voice was heard.
"Send me a batch of medicinal herbs tomorrow, and then inform Elder Wang that five days later, at ten o'clock in the morning, I will be on the back of a carp on the top of Huangshan Mountain, trying to open the Heavenly Gate."
Du Ruo was talking on the phone. He had thought about these issues in the past few days, so he said them directly without any hesitation. As for the term "Tianmen", it was just a name he gave to the portal at random.
He himself didn't know whether this was ascension, but he already had a feeling in his heart that this portal must be very important.
If spiritual energy appears after the door is opened, then the notice should serve as an alert for them to be prepared.
Moreover, he believed that many people above would definitely be interested in his opening of the Heavenly Gate.
"Okay! Okay!!"
Fox answered with a serious face on the other end of the phone, even nodding unconsciously. It was not until Du Ruo hung up the phone that she relaxed a little.
“So that’s the Heavenly Gate?”
The fox thought for a moment, trying to remember what the portal looked like, but his mind was still blank.
Then he shook his head and began to report to his superiors.
This kind of thing has to happen quickly, because in modern society, if someone is suspected of "ascending" it is definitely not a trivial matter, and many subsequent things need to be prepared.
For example, whether Du Ruo's "ascension" is successful or not, whether he will leave or stay after success, how to treat him if he stays, and how to deal with him afterwards if he dies or disappears.
However, these things have little to do with her, the fox. She just needs to do her job well. After reporting, she began to prepare the medicinal materials that Du Ruo needed.
This is her mission.
……
After Du Ruo finished the call, he went to the kitchen, which was rare for him, and helped Xiang Yuanyuan.
The two of them were in the kitchen, enjoying the simple life of an ordinary couple.
One cooked and the other helped. They occasionally chatted about what had happened in the past few days. After cooking, Du Ruo was eating while Xiang Yuanyuan sat beside him, watching Du Ruo eat with a smile on her face.
The next day, the fox came with a truck in the morning.
This time it was not a military truck, nor was it escorted by fully armed soldiers, but the items inside were still sorted and placed as before.
After the fox carefully checked the living things that were delivered, he let the truck leave first.
"This is the simplified version of the secret book that Elder Wang mentioned last time. Since you are here, take it with you. Also, take these with you. These are the final secret books."
Du Ruo waited for the fox to direct the various medicinal materials to be put into the alchemy room, and then he came out holding a large box.
"This secret book is easy to understand, and it is a collection of the strengths of various schools. There is no mystery involved. As long as you study hard and improve your food intake, you will be able to make a steady transition. After you have finished practicing what is in this book, you can choose any of the techniques I copied and you will be able to get started quickly."
Du Ruo first handed a thick booklet in his hand to the fox. This was something he had written out last night. As for the things in the box at the back, they contained some of the remaining skills in his mind.
"Okay, Huangshan will be closed from tomorrow, and a large number of soldiers will be sent there to enforce martial law. Is this okay?"
The fox was no longer so excited to see those secret books. She just put away the booklet that Du Ruo handed to her alone, which didn't even have her name on it.
Then I can also report the specific follow-up to Du Ruo.
