"Young friend." An old voice suddenly came from behind.
Du Yu turned around and saw another old woman in simple clothes.
She looked different from the previous old woman, but had the same kind eyes and no heartbeat.
"Young friend, you may come into the hall and discuss in detail." The old woman motioned Du Yu to follow her.
Du Yu and the others looked at each other and followed.
Led by the old woman, the trio crossed the high threshold and entered the hall.
In addition to the Empress of the Land in the center, there are statues of gods standing on three sides of the hall.
They are of different sizes and postures, all of them are lifelike and solemn.
A sacred aura enveloped me. Although it was not like a heavy burden pressing down on my head, it still made me feel awe and fear.
To the extent that the trio's movements paused for a moment.
"Wow!" Xiao Fenyang exclaimed, "This guy is so powerful!"
Du Yu steadied his mind and asked, "What kind of monsters are these?"
"It should be a statue of the clay goddess, right?" Little Fenyang muttered softly.
"Are these all clay statues?"
Xiao Fenyang: "No, it seems there is only one Nipo, and the rest are clones."
Du Yu:!!!
The Holy Nirvana Statue? !
I thought you had thousands of clay hands, but now it seems that you also have thousands of bodies
"Please." The old woman seemed to have sensed something, she said with a smile, and then continued to walk forward.
The main hall is very large, and the area where tourists kneel and worship the gods is near the entrance of the hall.
There are also three prayer mats at the feet of the Queen Mother of the Land, but it seems that this place does not welcome tourists.
There was only a solitary figure, kneeling on the prayer mat on the left, bowing his head in meditation.
She was thin and wore a khaki robe. Her grey hair was piled high, which did not look out of place but rather elegant and natural.
After the old woman brought Du Yu and others here, she turned and left.
Du Yu was the first to speak: "Senior Lan Gao?"
Sure enough, a familiar voice came: "My friend really knows where to find me."
"Hehe." Du Yu smiled, "My companion reminded me."
Lang Gao did not respond, but gestured to the two prayer mats on his right: "Please."
Du Yu's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and he knew the right measure: "Senior, I'll just stand there."
This king secretly raised a little golden crow, but it is too tough to kneel.
Burning incense is one thing, and Du Yu has always been very kind along the way. But every time he passed by a hall, he just visited it and never worshipped.
Having said that, there is probably only one person in this world who can make Du Yu kneel.
That was his master—Yang Qingqing.
And under such circumstances, Master Qing never asked him to kneel, let alone others.
"Haha." Lan Gao laughed dumbly, and said in a friendly manner, "Don't get me wrong, little friend. Just sit down."
Du Yu hesitated for a moment and said respectfully, "Senior, I'd better stand."
I don’t kneel because there is a golden crow in my destiny.
Not sitting is a sign of respect for the most holy Nipo and also for senior Lang Gao.
After all, the entrance to the hall was full of devout worshippers, and it would not look right for Du Yu to just sit at the feet of the Queen Mother of the Land if others saw him.
Besides, Du Yu came here to seek advice, so it would be more appropriate for him to stand.
"Haha." Lang Gao laughed again.
In my impression, this Demon Slayer, who is always calm and expressionless, rarely has such emotional ups and downs.
She turned her head and looked at Du Yu with her deep eyes, as if she wanted to remember this face more clearly.
Li Mengnan whispered weakly: "Can I pray?"
Lang Gao nodded slightly.
Lang Gao didn't remember Li Mengnan and Lin Shiwei. In her memory, there seemed to be only two vague outlines of people.
But when Li Mengnan and Lin Shiwei stood next to Du Yu, Lang Gao recognized the two women.
Li Mengnan was calm, she knelt down, clasped her hands together, and chanted: "Empress of the Land, please bless my father and mother to be reconciled as before.
If it works, I'll burn a big stick of incense for you when I come back, the biggest one!"
Lang Gao seemed to have heard such wishes too many times, and she turned a deaf ear to the joys and sorrows of the world.
She whispered, "Why did you come to see me, my friend?"
Du Yu: "Senior Langao, after all these days of training, Lynx and I have mastered our magic skills to a fair degree, except for one magic skill..."
Langao said calmly, "Twin wild lynxes."
Du Yu was not surprised that the other party could give the answer. Looking through the list of Huang Yinlin's magic skills, this was the only one that was very tricky.
Langao: "Do you know why this magic skill was renamed Twin Wild Lynx?"
"Ah?" This time, Du Yu was surprised. "Isn't Twin Wild Lynx the real name of the demon skill?"
Lang Gao didn't keep it a secret: "I changed it."
Du Yu couldn't help but grin.
Good guy~
This old senior changed the name of the monster skill set by the official. The key point is that the official also approved it and included it in the monster spirit illustration book.
The Demon Spirit Illustrated Book is naturally a textbook for those who control demons.
Lang Gao: "I have forgotten the original name of this magic skill. It seems to be something like puppet, which is not quite appropriate."
Du Yu concentrated and listened attentively.
Langao: "After this magic skill is upgraded to Eternal Diamond quality, it will no longer be a puppet clone."
I see!
Du Yu suddenly realized that if that was the case, then the name of the magic skill given by Daxia was appropriate.
Because among the desert lynx clan, the highest level is only the demon general level, and no lynx can promote this demon skill to the imperial level.
In this way, this magic skill is just a controlled puppet.
Only after Senior Lang Gao’s Desert Lynx was promoted did the quality of its magic skills improve, which is what happened next.
"Yes, Senior." Du Yu continued, "I felt it. The new body I summoned was like another me."
Lang Gao nodded thoughtfully and said, "The body you summoned is in an unstable state?"
"That's right!" Du Yu clasped his hands and said, "Please give me some advice, senior."
Lang Gao raised his head and looked at the majestic Empress Huangtu, and suddenly asked, "Do you believe her?"
Du Yu opened his mouth: "This..."
In the adult world, hesitation means a clear answer.
Langao: "Why don't you believe it?"
Du Yu stuttered again: "This..."
A faint smile appeared on Lang Gao's face: "Just say it."
Du Yu also risked his life and lowered his voice: "This Queen of the Land is a holy-level demon beast, the Nipo God Sculpture."
"Eh?" Li Mengnan opened his eyes wide and looked up at the Queen Mother in her phoenix crown and bridal robe, "Is it true?"
Before, at the entrance of the hall, Lin Shiwei used the demon spirit to remind Du Yu not to let others hear his words.
Similarly, Du Yu also responded to Lin Shiwei with his demon soul, so that Sha Mengnan was kept in the dark.
"Hush." Du Yu reached out his hand and rubbed the girl's head. "Sincerity is the key to success."
Li Mengnan: “.”
In fact, to some extent, the Supreme Saint is really a god in the demon-controlling world.
Just bow and that’s it.
Besides, everyone says that the Goddess of the Land in the Land Temple is very powerful. What if it really comes true
Lan Gao: "My friend, your words are true. Sincerity is the key to success."
Du Yu frowned slightly, feeling that there was something else behind Senior Lang Gao's words.
Langao: “In your heart, you have seen through this statue and regarded it as a monster.
So in front of you, it is not the Queen Mother of the Land."
"Uh." Du Yu scratched his head. Isn't that right
Langao said calmly: "You also think that you have seen through the twin wild leopards."
Du Yu's face turned serious: "Hmm?"
Langao patiently coaxed: "For you and Lynx, the Twin Wild Lynx is just a magical skill, right?"
Du Yu opened his mouth slightly, looking confused.
Langao lowered his head and said softly, "It's just that this magic skill is quite special, like another body of yours."
Du Yu's heart was stirred: "I think I understand what you mean."
Langao repeated his original question: "Do you know why this magic skill was renamed Twin Wild Lynx?"
Du Yu said in a deep voice: "One lynx twin, not a puppet. There is no distinction between you and me, they are all me!"
Lang Gao slowly raised his head and turned to look at Du Yu.
A trace of admiration flashed across her deep eyes: "My friend, you are very understanding."
Du Yu thought for a while and said, "Senior, why is this demon skill so special? It also involves beliefs and the like?"
Lang Gao: "I improved this demon skill, and naturally incorporated my understanding of this demon-controlling world."
Du Yu nodded.
He was just a demon tamer who learned by standing on the shoulders of his predecessors, not the one who pioneered it.
Since this magic skill was improved and developed by Lang Gao, it would naturally be in line with Lang Gao's method of controlling monsters.
Lang Gao: "My friend, you are a saint by your side, so you should have learned about the rules of the world, right?"
"Rules?" Du Yu organized his words. "I know a thing or two. If a demon beast wants to cultivate to the level of a saint, it needs to integrate into the laws of this world and become the rules itself."
Hearing this, a hint of doubt appeared in Langao's eyes.
Now it was Du Yu's turn to be confused. He asked, "Did I say something wrong?"
Lang Gao said, "That's correct, but not specific enough. Didn't the Holy Dragon Turtle tell you about the realm of rules it represents?"
ah
Du Yu was completely confused, and immediately connected in his mind: "Celadon?"
"Um?"
Du Yu: "What rule domain do you represent?"
Tianqingci: "Rule field?"
Du Yu: "Where's Fen Yang? Do you know?"
Little Fen Yang blinked his big eyes: "What is that? I am the Supreme Being of Fire Element, and I can help all beings of Fire Element to grow. Does this count?"
"Maybe?" Du Yu was not sure.
Little Fenyang's soul is incomplete and he can't remember many things, which is frustrating.
Du Yu realized that he could not get a clear answer, so he clasped his hands and bowed to Lang Gao: "Please give me some advice, Senior Lang Gao!"
Lang Gao was surprised and naturally noticed that Du Yu was talking to the demon pet just now.
Du Yu's response at this moment should mean that he didn't get any result.
Could it be that the Supreme Saint Dragon Turtle achieved the sainthood by accident
Lang Gao looked at Du Yu and said without hiding anything: "The theory of becoming the rule itself is correct.
But more importantly, find your own area of rules.
Can you tell me, young friend, what kind of belief did the Dragon Turtle uphold when he reached the holy level of cultivation? "
Du Yu immediately contacted Tian Qingci, and after a moment, he responded: "At that time, the Dragon Turtle was fighting with a demon emperor who was seeking his own death.
The moment the dragon turtle broke through, what he thought in his heart was: In this world, I am your shackles, and I decide your fate! "
"No." Unexpectedly, Lan Gao shook his head, "It's too broad."
"Broad?" Du Yu had a detailed conversation with Tian Qingci for a moment, and his face froze.
Langao: “What is it?”
Du Yu said: "The original words are: In this sea realm, I am your shackles, and I decide your fate!"
Lang Gao nodded: "I don't know where the Sea Boundary is, but it sounds like it should be a sea area."
Du Yu: “Yes!”
Langao explained: "Your dragon turtle may be the embodiment of the rules of that sea area.
However, I dare not jump to conclusions, and you can discuss this with me again after you return."
"So that's how it is." Du Yu woke up as if from a dream.
The path to sainthood given by Xiao Fen Yang is naturally correct, but what Fen Yang gave is the general direction!
The so-called "becoming the rule itself" is a very vague concept. There are so many rules in the world.
Within the framework of the world's rules, monsters and beasts must also find their own area of rules.
From this point of view, Tianqingci is really lucky to have reached the level of Saint!
Du Yu suddenly realized why the sad seabird insisted on returning inland to fill the rivers and lakes in his memory.
It is indeed the grace of God!
There are indeed guidelines.
I don’t know what field rules it will eventually be integrated into
Here comes the problem.
This statue of the most holy Nirvana deity before us, what rules does it incorporate and what specific field does it represent
The Huangtu Temple is so popular that the world seems to have given the answer!
The Queen Mother of the Land is probably really here to fulfill the wishes of all living beings and accumulate merits.
Oh my god!
That’s why Senior Lang Gao just said things like “You think you see through the statue” and “You mistake it for a monster”.
Can this so-called "territory rule" be a specific place or an abstract concept
"So, faith is necessary." Langao said softly, "I believe that every living being who wants to cultivate to become a saint needs this spiritual power.
First find your true destiny, find your own field, and then move forward unswervingly.
Only in this way can the demon saint complete the transformation, become the supreme saint, and then integrate into the heaven and earth and represent the heaven and earth. "
Some of the principles are similar.
Master Qing warned Du Yu early on that no matter what happened, he should never question his future as a demon tamer.
Once your heart wavers, all your previous efforts will be wasted and you will not be able to make any further progress.
Du Yu pondered for a while and asked, "What good does it do to know the rule domain that you represent?"
Lang Gao smiled: "My friend, you think the rule is a line."
"Oh?" Du Yu blinked.
Langao: “Rather than saying that the Supreme Saint has become a rule, it is better to say that it has become the representative of the rules in a certain field.
My friend, don’t forget that the Most Holy One is a living being.
Since they are living beings, they have thoughts and emotions, so they will naturally be flexible in what they do. "
Du Yu's breathing paused slightly and his brain was buzzing.
Langao raised his eyes and looked at the Queen Mother Huangtu: “My friend will gradually know that the rules are never a line, but an area.
At least, your holiness is not a line."
"I'm grateful for your guidance." Du Yu bowed deeply. "Thank you, Senior Lang Gao, for your guidance. Du Yu is grateful!"
"Oh, yes." Langao murmured softly, "Your name is Du Yu."
Du Yu: “.”
