After all, not everyone can be given the chance to be reborn by the Valar like Glorfindel.
Gandalf seemed to have seen through Dewi's thoughts and smiled as he suggested a third method:
"The third method is meditation, which is the most suitable method I recommend for you."
"Meditation?" Dui was surprised.
"Yes, it is meditation. Meditation can temper the spirit and will. Although it is not as fast as the ordeal of life and death, it is much faster than slowly accumulating knowledge and wisdom." Gandalf explained.
"This is the little trick I told you before, which I will give you after you have the staff."
“So how do you meditate?”
"Meditation is neither difficult nor easy. To put it simply, it means clearing your mind of all distractions, or focusing on one thing. In my free time, I go to the Flame Hall in the Valley to sit and meditate."
"You need to meditate too?"
Dui was surprised. After all, Gandalf was a Maia with an extremely powerful soul. Why did he still need to meditate?
Gandalf seemed to know what he was thinking and said meaningfully, "Meditation has never been exclusive to one type of people, Duir. Even the great Valar need to meditate. The only difference is the depth of their meditation."
"Okay, now let's get back to how to meditate," Gandalf said. "In fact, you already have a meditation method, and it can be said that it is far better than what I thought of meditation, but you just haven't discovered it yet."
"I already have a meditation method?" Dui was surprised and puzzled. Why couldn't he remember when he had a meditation method?
"Have you forgotten the music Tom Bombadil taught you?"
"You said that music is a meditation?" Dui's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
Dui has always used that piece of music to mobilize positive emotions and drive away the negative emotions brought by black magic.
In addition, if you cast this music magic before casting the Patronus Charm, the Patronus Charm will become stronger.
I didn't expect that Gandalf would call this music, which he used as an auxiliary music, a meditation song.
Gandalf nodded. "There are many ways to meditate. Some meditate through quiet contemplation, some through prayer, some through reciting poetry and scriptures, and some through walking... The song Bombadil taught you is a very effective way of meditation, but you have never delved into it in depth."
Chapter 128 Return to Fengyunding
After hearing what Gandalf said, Dewi felt a little blush.
Is he missing the forest for the trees and losing the watermelon while picking up sesame seeds?
He never expected that the music magic he had always regarded as a way to dispel negative emotions was actually a meditation method that could cultivate the soul.
There is always a feeling of having a treasure trove but not knowing it.
Now that he knew the true value of music magic, Dui naturally would not ignore it anymore, and hurriedly asked Gandalf how to meditate through music.
Gandalf was also generous in teaching him, and he also taught him another method of meditation: lighting herbs (such as sage, cedar, sandalwood, mugwort, etc.), and using the aroma of the herbs to relax the body and mind and enter the "state of no thought" of meditation.
In this method, the scent of the herbs acts as an "anchor," allowing one to enter a deep state of meditation amidst the smoke.
This was a meditation method developed by Gandalf. He often burned tobacco by smoking a pipe, and in the process of smoking he entered a state of no thoughts, gaining inspiration and wisdom.
More importantly, this meditation method can be combined with Duy’s music meditation to achieve better meditation effects.
Due was very grateful to Gandalf for his selfless teaching.
He spent more than a week making a faster flying broom out of the maolong tree and gave it to Gandalf.
Although this gift could not repay Gandalf even one ten-thousandth of his debt, it was the best thing he could think of to repay Gandalf at the moment.
Gandalf was very pleased with Dewi's gift, and immediately flew over the Forest of Lórien on his broom, causing the elves in the forest below to look up frequently.
One day, Dewi found Galadriel.
He took out the fruit of the Holy White Tree that Thranduil had given him.
"Lady Galadriel, do you know of any way to make the seeds of this holy white tree break through the shell and grow?"
Galadriel's eyes flashed with interest as she took the fruit and observed it in her hands.
"I never thought you had a descendant of Nimloth in your hands. I thought nothing remained of the White Tree of Númenor except the single fruit Isildur had preserved."
"This was a gift from His Majesty Thranduil, who traveled to the Isle of Númenor and picked this fruit," Deuil explained.
Galadriel understood, and then she walked across the grass as lightly as a breeze, her moon-white robe dragging on the ground brushing against the grass leaves, and walked towards the garden.
Dui hurriedly followed.
Galadriel came to the silver basin in the garden and dipped the fruit into it, drowning it in the stream.
"The fruit is old and has been thirsty for a long time. Let it soak here for three days. When it has drunk enough water, you can come and take it."
"Then you place it with the Light of Earendil, letting it absorb the light, and then bury it in uncontaminated soil, and it will break free and sprout."
"I understand, thank you, ma'am!" Dui's eyes lit up and he thanked Galadriel happily.
He didn't expect that Lady Galadriel would give him a way to induce labor so quickly, and the Light of Eärendil that she had given him before actually had such a use.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Dui took back the fruit of the Holy White Tree that had drunk enough water and placed it together with the Light of Earendil.
He planned to plant it on Fengyun Peak when he returned.
The Holy White Tree is a sacred tree created by the goddess of plants, Yavana. Although the one in Dui's hand is the fourth generation of the Holy White Tree, it still possesses extraordinary magical powers.
According to Lady Galadriel, the White Tree has a certain connection with nature, and its growth and prosperity will have a positive impact on the surrounding natural environment, promoting plant growth, animal health, and making the surrounding environment prosperous.
Moreover, the Holy White Tree can weaken evil forces. Wherever its roots spread, shadow magic will be suppressed and even purify the land polluted by dark magic.
At the same time, the juice extracted from the leaves or fruits of the Holy White Tree can heal injuries. It can not only repair physical trauma, but also relieve the pain of the soul being eroded by darkness, and it also has a certain purifying effect on poisoning and curses.
This is also why the Holy White Tree is targeted by dark creatures.
The Dark Lord Sauron used every possible means to deceive the Númenóreans into cutting down the Holy White Tree Nimloth, and then he attacked the city of Minas Ithil and burned Gondor's first Holy White Tree.
After staying in Lórien for nearly two months, Due and his companions began their journey back.
When they parted, Galadriel gave Legolas a longbow made of the core of a magnolia tree, with her hair added to the bowstring, which had a 100% hit rate.
Bilbo was given a gray wooden box containing soil from Galadriel's garden, which would make Bilbo's garden flourish. This was a gift Bilbo had asked for himself.
At the same time, Galadriel gave him a kiss on the forehead. This kiss contained the power of blessing, which purified and dispelled the influence of the ring on Bilbo's body.
When it was finally Dei's turn, he asked Galadriel for a seed from the maolon tree.
He planned to plant the seeds of the Maolong tree and the fruits of the Holy White Tree together, and then make a "beggar version" of the Twin Holy Trees, adding a unique landscape to Fengyunding.
Lady Galadriel also found Dewy's idea interesting and agreed to his request.
He also gave him a jar of stream water in a silver basin so that the Maolong tree could grow.
This time, Dui and the others did not ride the dragon again, but were directly teleported to the valley through the fireplace.
As for the dragon Smaug, since he was now able to fly, Dui let him cross the Misty Mountains by himself and catch up.
Except for Galadriel and Celeborn who remained in Lórien, everyone else arrived in Rivendell one after another via Floo, including Arwen.
Now that the hearths of Lórien and Rivendell were connected, without the restriction of distance, Arwen could travel freely between the two places and live with her father and brothers in Rivendell, as well as her grandparents in Lórien, at any time.
After teleporting so many people at once, Dui's Floo powder stock was running out.
Dewi was about to start making a batch of Floo powder.
The main material for making Floo powder is moonstone, which is favored by elves because it emits hazy moonlight.
Knowing that Dui needed moonstone, Elrond sent a large amount of moonstone.
Dui looked at the perfect moonstones and could only refuse such a luxurious behavior.
It was just making Floo powder, he couldn't bring himself to use moonstone of such quality.
Upon seeing this, Elrond sent another batch of moonstones of average quality and said he would give as many as they wanted.
So Dui started making Floo powder in the valley.
At the same time, he also entrusted the young eagle Thorondor to Elrond for treatment.
During this period, Arwen and Aragorn finally met.
In the original storyline, the two first met after Aragorn came of age.
But this time, Arwen saw an eleven-year-old kid.
So there was no love at first sight.
As the adopted son of his father Elrond, Arwen only took care of him as a younger brother.
On Dui's side, there was enough moonstone material to make Floo powder, and the remaining spider silk and venomous snake fangs. For the spider silk, Dui used the spider silk of a giant spider, which was even more effective than ordinary spider silk.
As for the venomous snake fangs, Dui had no source of supply, so he went to find them himself.
He simply flew to the ogre forest outside the valley, summoned a group of poisonous snakes with snake language, and then got a bag full of snake fangs.
The venomous snakes were left with no tears to cry, as they had all lost a fang without exception.
I don't dare to open my mouth in front of my prey for fear of being laughed at.
After staying in the valley for half a month, Dui finally made a full barrel of Floo powder, which was enough to last for a long time.
To thank Elrond for his help, Dewi specially gave him a large bottle of Floo powder.
The young eagle Thorondor, who was entrusted to Elrond for treatment, was completely cured of his congenital deficiency. All he needed to do now was to take good care of him, and in the future he would be able to soar in the sky like other giant eagles.
The dragon Smaug was already outside Rivendell, killing the trolls in Trollwood.
After bidding Elrond a formal farewell,
Due, Gandalf, Bilbo, and Legolas were teleported directly to Weathertop through the fireplace.
As for the dragon Smaug, he continued to fly to Weathertop in misery.
As the hearths within Amon Sul'tar flickered green,
This tower, which has been uninhabited for a long time, finally has people coming again.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh!" As soon as they came out, they were all covered in dust from the fireplace.
"Clean it up." Dui quickly cast a spell on himself and his companions.
After the cleanup was completed, Dui looked at the empty tower and exclaimed, "I'm finally back!"
Then he waved his wand and began to clean the dust around him.
Legolas looked up at the tower and asked in amazement, "Is this the Tower of Amon Sul? It is said that it was destroyed by the army of the Witch-king of Angmar a thousand years ago. How did you do it, Duir?"
