After Du Ruo sorted out some new insights in his mind, he originally wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, he stopped.
Du Ruo came to the position of Tianmen and placed his hand on it.
The Tianmen is a seal created in ancient times by immortals who fought against gods by burning their own flesh and blood and condensing their last bit of "spirit".
This ban should have been eventually transformed by heaven and earth, and only then did it appear in the form of a door.
Du Ruo placed his palm on the door, which felt warm to the touch, like jade. He exerted force with his five fingers and silently broke off a piece of the door.
The portal was not destroyed because Du Ruo broke off a piece. On the contrary, the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth fluctuated, and then automatically approached the gap in the portal and directly filled the piece that Du Ruo broke off.
The piece in Du Ruo's hand did not disappear, but changed according to Du Ruo's mind, and finally turned into an ancient mirror like jade, which was put into Du Ruo's pocket.
After doing all this, Du Ruo did not stop, took a step forward, and his figure disappeared on the spot.
After leaving Tianmen, Du Ruo did not return home, but appeared thousands of miles away.
"The escape technique is really useful. We have traveled thousands of kilometers in just a few moments. I haven't seen Kyoto for a long time."
Du Ruo stood in the void, and after feeling the sensation of escaping thousands of miles away, Du Ruo just stood in the sky and swept downwards.
Perhaps because of the revival of spiritual energy and the flourishing vegetation, Kyoto was not covered by sandstorms today.
One has to admit that Kyoto is Kyoto. Du Ruo stood in the sky and looked down. Throughout the city, there was a lot of energy and blood appearing like wolf smoke.
That is the result of physical training, when one's Qi and blood are as strong as a dragon. It represents a strong physique and is the outward symbol of a martial arts master.
Of course, ordinary people cannot see such a phenomenon, but for Du Ruo, nothing can escape its sight.
In addition to the blood and energy like wolf smoke, there are also some other characters in Du Ruo's sight.
There are some places where spiritual energy gathers, and the spiritual energy in those places is obviously more active than other places. This is a symbol of successful qi training.
Regular breathing or qigong exercises will make you more in tune with the spiritual energy, bring the spiritual energy closer to you, and make it easier to attract the spiritual energy to gather.
In addition, there are places where the power of the five elements gather around. Naturally... that is where people with a very high level of spiritual refining realm live.
Just like Du Ruo's words come true, he often uses his spirit to drive the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and then uses the spiritual energy to pry open the five elements of heaven and earth, which is commonly known as magic. Therefore, the people around him will invisibly leave their own spirits on the five elements of heaven and earth.
When needed or when facing an enemy, this type of person can use magic to defeat the enemy more quickly.
"Buzz!!!"
Du Ruo had just stood still in the void and had just taken a look at the entire Kyoto area of nearly 16,000 square kilometers when the buzzing sound of a drone rang in his ears.
In fact, the sound of the drone is very small, but it is obvious to Du Ruo's ears.
Seeing the drone taking off and approaching him, Du Ruo did not make any move. He just stood in the sky and let the camera on the drone shine on him casually.
The drone stopped nearly a hundred meters away from Du Ruo, and there was no follow-up. However, in Du Ruo's perception, there were already many kinds of reconnaissance sights falling on him.
Satellites in space, drones in the air, and even radar monitoring waves pass by it from time to time. In addition, many high-power telescopes on the ground are also watching it.
"Mr. Du, welcome to Kyoto, please~"
Just when Du Ruo was getting a little impatient waiting in the air, a figure flew down from the ground with great effort, then stood not far below Du Ruo and saluted him very respectfully.
"Long time no see, Taoist Priest~"
Du Ruo looked down and found that this person was the Taoist priest whom Du Ruo met when he went to Lesser Khingan Mountains to take away Tiger Vanguard.
It's just that the Taoist priest now looked a little younger, with a cloud of mist holding his body back. Under the biting wind in the sky, his Taoist robe fluttered, and his half-white hair and beard were blown up, giving him a Taoist and immortal temperament.
Of course...if I could stand more steadily, perhaps this aura would be better.
"I didn't expect Mr. Du still remembered me. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. The leader is already waiting for you. I'll lead the way..."
The Taoist priest forced a smile and then made a gesture of invitation again, indicating Du Ruo to come down and talk.
But he was smiling bitterly in his heart.
When he first saw Du Ruo calling the wind and rain, it was like a mayfly seeing the blue sky. It was like he saw a guiding light. He had been practicing hard with Du Ruo as his goal.
It's a pity that he is too old. Thanks to decades of practice, his magic skills have shown their power after the revival of spiritual energy.
However, as time went by, his realm did not make much breakthrough except that his magic became more powerful due to the increasingly dense spiritual energy.
Shan Xiu Shendao, without an aging body, is like a rootless duckweed. After reaching the peak of the third level, there is no further progress.
When I first saw Du Ruo at the foot of Lesser Khingan Mountains, I could still see his back, but now when I look at Du Ruo again, I can’t even see his back.
If Du Ruo could not be seen with the naked eye, he would not be able to sense Du Ruo's existence at all. He could not even tell how Du Ruo was standing in the air out of thin air. There was no fluctuation of "spirit", no gathering of spiritual energy, and no condensation of the power of the five elements.
There was not even a trace of existence. Seeing this, he knew that he could no longer even see Du Ruo's background.
"No need for you to lead the way, let's go together."
Du Ruo just smiled, then waved his hand, and enveloped the other person with his mind, causing the other person to disappear from the air.
The reason why he stopped above Kyoto was, on the one hand, that he wanted to stand on a high place and see the situation in Kyoto. Over the years, Du Ruo's mind had traveled around the entire world, but he had only casually strolled around Kyoto a few times and had not gotten to know it in depth.
It now seems that Kyoto's defense force is not weak. Although Du Ruo did not reveal his presence, the drone was able to lock onto him in the first place, which shows how alert he is.
Secondly, it retains some respect for the upper echelons. Although this is considered an intrusion, it also gives the upper echelons some time to react.
When the two appeared again, they were already at the door of an ancient wooden building.
This is the center of power in the country.
At this time, at the gate, there were armed soldiers standing guard outside, plainclothes officers wandering around, and officers in police uniforms on duty.
In addition, there were already quite a few people waiting at the door, including a few old men that Du Ruo was familiar with standing at the front.
But these people were all looking up at the sky, as if waiting for Du Ruo to fly down from the sky.
"Cough cough!!"
The Taoist was just using the clouds in the sky to hold himself up, but he didn't expect that when Du Ruo waved his hand, he only felt a flash before his eyes, the scenery in front of him changed, and then he was standing on solid ground.
However, before he could think about the feeling just now, he saw that those big guys and high-level executives were all looking up at the sky at the gate. They didn't even notice them suddenly appearing in the open space in front of them. This made him cough twice, as a reminder to these big guys so that they would not continue looking at the sky.
"Sure enough, my original choice was right."
When Du Ruo saw this scene, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional. If it were him, he might try to recall how he appeared on the ground from the sky.
Instead of looking at what the leaders are doing first, power and money are indeed good, but they are also the most likely to wear down a person's will. Once caught up in it, even a Taoist priest of his age cannot see through and avoid it.
"Ah, haha, Mr. Du, welcome, welcome. Come in, please. I'll show you around."
After all, Mr. Wang was the most familiar with Du Ruo. He walked at the front of the crowd and greeted him with a smile on his face when he saw Du Ruo.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Du Ruo. After all, today was the first time that Du Ruo took the initiative to come to Kyoto and appear in front of these people.
So the people in front of Du Ruo were not all old men like before. Instead, there were more middle-aged people. Occasionally there were young people, who followed behind these people, not saying anything, just listening and watching quietly.
"Ah."
Du Ruo nodded, completely ignoring the scrutinizing looks from many people around him, and followed behind Old Wang towards this quaint building that represented the center of power in the country.
"This is where we usually hold meetings and discuss important matters. This is..."
Wang Lao looked healthy, but his waist was not as straight as before, and his hair was no longer as dark as before, but half white. This made him look even older.
"Mr. Wang doesn't work here now?"
Du Ruo listened to Mr. Wang's introduction, and then asked a question as if in casual conversation.
But as soon as he said this, many people showed strange expressions.
"Haha, yes. I retired last year, but I still have a sinecure. Many old men are like me, so I am making use of my remaining energy."
When Lao Wang heard Du Ruo's question, he was not surprised. Instead, he smiled with relief.
In today's society, power is certainly not permanent, and he has indeed reached the age to retire. After all, if he doesn't retire, he will become a blockage and an eyesore.
This is also the reason why he no longer dyes his hair and his back is a little bent. After all, without the support of power, it is really difficult for him to keep his back straight at his age.
Of course, he had already fought for everything he deserved, and other people who retired did not get idle jobs, but went to nursing homes. He was already benefiting from Du Ruo.
"I haven't come yet. Are you old men impatient?"
Walking to the innermost building, there is a reception room, but when entering the door, Du Ruo hesitated and did not step over the threshold. Instead, he turned to look at Lao Wang who had been accompanying him.
"Forehead……"
Old Wang was stumped by Du Ruo's rather straightforward question and began to feel somewhat uneasy. Not only that, sweat even started to form on his forehead.
It can be seen that the loss of power not only made him become more stubborn, but also made him less confident.
"Since last year, some sects have begun to appear in many places. The first two places started. These sects are not looking for money or profit. They even give out money and things. All they need is for people to thank a certain god before and after practicing."
When Du Ruo spoke, there was no fluctuation in his tone. He even stopped looking at Lao Wang and instead looked around.
But the sweat on Lao Wang's forehead kept increasing.
"In a year, the scale has expanded rapidly. With so many people, it is easy to breed people's inner desires. The sect that originally had no influence has begun to change. Moreover, no one has dealt with such a sect. Don't you think it's strange?"
After Du Ruo finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the reception room, and found a seat to sit down.
Old Wang stood there without moving. It was not that he did not want to move, but he just could not lift his feet. And since he did not move, the people behind him did not go into the reception room either.
At this time, a middle-aged man who had been sitting side by side with Old Wang exchanged glances with someone next to him. Seeing someone supporting Old Wang, he led his men and followed Du Ruo into the room.
"Mr. Du, I'm sorry, Mr. Wang is feeling unwell. As for those sects you mentioned, we will have someone deal with them right away."
The middle-aged man came to the chair next to Du Ruo and sat down, while taking over Du Ruo's conversation and continuing to talk to him.
He did have some of the aura of Old Wang back then, and although he apologized, there was no flattery or fawning in his words. Obviously, he was the one in power now. The reason why he asked Old Wang to receive him just now was probably because he couldn't figure out why Du Ruo came.
"Heh~ You may have misunderstood. I'm not here to call you to task."
Du Ruo started talking while sitting in his seat, but then his hand brushed across the coffee table beside his seat, and a set of tea set appeared on it.
Then, Du Ruo slowly started to make tea.
Seeing this scene, the young man who was originally standing at the end of the crowd and secretly looking at Du Ruo, pursed his lips instantly, but his eyes unconsciously fell on the coffee table.
At the foot of Mount Huangshan, Xiang Yuanyuan, who was sitting on Duruo's recliner and preparing to make herself a pot of tea, had just put the tea leaves into the teapot and put the teapot back when she found that the tea set on the table had disappeared.
"Humph~ The little one is not easy to take care of, and the big one is not easy to take care of either, they just know how to piss me off!!"
Xiang Yuanyuan immediately understood what was going on and couldn't help but mutter something in annoyance. She waved her hands and was no longer interested in drinking tea. It was time to go downstairs to prepare meals for the troublesome two people, one big and one small.
"How you act has nothing to do with me. Let alone one or two meaningless sects, even if you set up a state religion, it doesn't matter. I just saw that you were a little anxious, so I came here to fulfill my promise."
Du Ruo didn't even look at the person standing in the reception room, but made tea by himself and said something at the same time.
After saying that, Du Ruo poured a cup of tea for the middle-aged man sitting opposite him, then he picked up the brewed tea and took a sip.
"I wonder what the promise Mr. Du is talking about?"
The middle-aged man did not go to drink tea, but glanced at Old Wang who was being supported by someone, and several other elderly people who looked unhappy. Then he took over Du Ruo's words and continued to ask questions.
He actually already had some ideas in his mind, but he didn't dare to confirm them. He wanted a clear answer from Du Ruo.
"What they want is not the throne of God, but immortality. I'm afraid they have been doubting whether what I said about deifying God is true in the past two years."
Du Ruo took a sip of tea as a response to the other party.
But as soon as Du Ruo said this, everyone began to have different thoughts. Some looked at Du Ruo, some looked at Lao Wang, and Lao Wang also looked at Du Ruo with hope in his eyes.
Only the young people and a few middle-aged people standing on the edge were confused and did not understand the meaning of what Du Ruo said.
"Mr. Du, you didn't lie to us at the beginning?"
Old Wang had recovered by then, took two steps forward and started to ask, but his tone was trembling and a little excited.
Du Ruo did not answer, but just glanced at the other person and then drank the water in the cup in his hand.
Du Ruo waved his hand, and the ancient jade mirror in his arms that he had broken off from the sky gate flew to the center of the hall.
The jade mirror stood in the middle of the hall, emitting the same faint light as the Heavenly Gate, and then slowly rotated. The difference from the Heavenly Gate was that this jade mirror could be clearly seen by everyone.
"This is a mirror transformed from heaven and earth, which contains the will of heaven and earth. Of course, the mirror is only an appearance. The most important thing is that it can monitor the entire heaven and earth. You can think of it as a mirror or as the Conferred God List.
Its function is to collect the spirits and souls of people with great merits and use them to manage the entire world on behalf of heaven and earth, which is what you call becoming a god."
Du Ruo saw that everyone was looking at the jade mirror, so he explained, of course... most of these words were true.
The mirror does have the ability to monitor the world, and at the same time Du Ruo has given it the ability to collect the souls of people with great merits, and can truly complete the deification.
The only lie Du Ruo lied about was that if he replaced the heaven and earth with himself in his words, there would be nothing wrong with it.
After all, whether he is deified or not is his own business. The so-called merits and virtues are just a threshold he designed. After all, he is too lazy to manage so many trivial matters.
"Mr. Du, how do you judge this merit? And when will the Conferred God Ceremony be held?"
Seeing Du Ruo talking about the function of the jade mirror, even the middle-aged man couldn't help swallowing.
It's not that he didn't doubt what Du Ruo said, but when his eyes fell on the mirror, he seemed to see in the mirror everything he had ever done in his life.
Little by little, many things that even he himself had forgotten flashed by in the mirror, so he had no choice but to believe it.
"Don't ask me about so-called merits and virtues. The heaven and earth will naturally judge these.
As for when will the gods be enshrined? Don't even ask me. To become a god, one must be dead. Living people cannot become gods.
So, Fengshen is not a TV series that has an ending. It will continue forever and everyone has a chance. "
After Du Ruo finished speaking, he put down the teacup in his hand.
"Okay, this is what I mean by deification, so you don't think I'm lying to you. As for whether you can become a god, it depends on whether you have enough merit.
By the way, deification requires a large amount of spiritual energy to reshape the body. Now the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not enough. Even if someone has enough merits, he cannot become a god immediately.
However, the jade mirror can seal the soul of a person who is eligible for deification into the mirror after death. When the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is sufficient, it will grant the status according to merit and shape the body of a god. "
After Du Ruo finished speaking, his entire body disappeared from the spot, along with the tea set beside him. (End of this chapter)
