I'm a hero in Marvel

Chapter 28: Scripture Study

Mordo suddenly raised his voice and explained: "This is because the earth is currently in a super stable space state. Merlin the wizard's summoning and alien space spells are useless. Otherwise, we wouldn't let everyone take the risk to explore the alien plane directly!"

After hearing this, Ancient One's eyes instantly became sharp and he looked directly at Mordo. Mordo immediately realized that he had said something wrong and quickly apologized: "Sorry, teacher, I said something wrong."

It turns out that the establishment of a super-stable space was something that Ancient One personally proposed and put a lot of effort into. Ancient One did successfully isolate many invasions from other planes, but at the same time, it also abolished more than half of the Greenwich faction's spells, because some of Merlin's spells were indeed related to other planes.

As for whether the mages of the Greenwich faction have any complaints in their hearts, it is hard to say.

At this moment, there was an awkward silence between Ancient One and Mordo. Finally, Mordo broke the deadlock: "Teacher, if there is nothing else, I will go out to work first."

Ancient One nodded, acquiescing to his departure. Mordo left his residence and went to the underground palace of the temple to attend the memorial service for the late Master Rune.

Ancient One looked at the direction where Mordo left and sighed softly. Although she was extremely powerful as the Sorcerer Supreme, it did not mean that she could stay young forever. Ancient One clearly felt that she was beginning to age.

She has lived for more than 500 years and needs to find a successor. Neither Lan nor Mordo seem to be qualified to be the next Supreme Sorcerer. She needs someone who can stick to her will and move forward.

"Maybe I should go find my last disciple?" Gu Yi whispered to himself.

Li Jie has been to Kamataki many times. As an ordinary person, it is extremely rare to come to this mysterious land so smoothly and frequently. You know, this place is usually only open to mages.

With the token given by Ancient One - a magic ring, Li Jie once again came to Kamar-Taki through the New York Temple. This time his mission was quite heavy.

The first thing was about the Illuminati. Tony suggested that if possible, it would be best to let Ancient One join the organization. Although Li Jie did not hold out much hope for this, because he felt that Ancient One was unlikely to join such an organization. The gap between them and Ancient One was obviously large, but since Tony proposed it, Li Jie decided to give it a try.

Secondly, Tony plans to build a base on Venus, which also requires the assistance of the mages. Without the help of the Ancient One, it is impossible to open a space channel between the Earth and Venus, and the possibility of the Illuminati secretly setting up a base on Venus will be greatly reduced, and the process will become very complicated.

Furthermore, regarding the great power of Buddhism that Logan mentioned, since he had already asked, Li Jie felt that he should also find out on his behalf. In this world today, what other great powers of Buddhism can help Logan resolve his karma?

The last thing is that Li Jie decided to practice in Kamar-Taiji and needed to inform Ancient One to observe his attitude. Now Li Jie finally has time to concentrate on studying.

In Kamartaki, which is full of Tibetan architectural style, Li Jie saw wizards practicing spells or studying scriptures in the square. He strolled leisurely among them and walked towards the residence of Master Gu Yi.

"Huh? Master Ancient One went to London?" Li Jie was a little surprised after hearing from Lan that Ancient One was away for the time being.

"That's right. What do you want to see the mage about?" Lan was sitting on a step, holding a book full of Sanskrit in his hands and reading it attentively. These words seemed very unfamiliar to Li Jie.

In the past, Lan gave Li Jie some metaphysical books, which were written in official script and ancient English. Li Jie could understand them roughly, but he knew nothing about profound languages ​​such as Sanskrit.

"Do you know any other powerful people who practice Buddhism in modern society? Lan." Li Jie and Lan have become much closer now, so he omitted the title of "Master" after her name. Since Ancient One is not here, he decided to consult Lan about Logan first.

As a disciple of Ancient One, Lan should know many masters in the mysterious field. Lan obviously recognized the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva they met in hell last time.

Lan looked at Li Jie in confusion, and after looking him up and down for a long time, she suddenly burst into laughter, and her large wizard robe trembled slightly. It seemed that her whole body was shaking from laughing.

Li Jie looked at Lan's beautiful face and asked awkwardly, "What did I say wrong? Or is there something dirty on my face? It's not that funny, is it?"

In front of beautiful women, Li Jie cares a lot about his image.

Lan touched his smooth cheek with one hand, his eyes curved into crescent shapes and stared at Li Jie: "The Buddha's power? Could it be that you are a Buddha's power?"

"Huh?" Li Jie looked around to make sure there was no one around, so Lan must be referring to him. "Don't be ridiculous, Lan, when did I become a great Buddhist?" He was sure that he had no affinity with Buddha: "I kill people, drink alcohol and eat meat, I can't even recite the Diamond Sutra, and I don't even know what the Ksitigarbha Sutra is about. So stop joking, I'm asking about serious matters."

Lan tidied up her hair which was a little messy from laughing too hard. Her slender white fingers lifted up the silky black hair, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, forming a very beautiful arc.

"I'm serious too, Master Night Walker." Li Jie felt that there seemed to be a hint of joking in Lan's words.

When I first met you, I noticed your uniqueness. Lan stretched out her hand and pointed her left index finger at Li Jie, then at herself.

"Do you remember where we first met?" Lan raised his eyebrows slightly, asking.

"It was at the Shouhe Club. I was beaten like a dead dog by Kamibe Yu." When Li Jie talked about that experience, he felt that he was really embarrassed at the time. The Ghost Rider, who he could not defeat no matter how hard he tried, was easily subdued by Lan with one move. Thinking back to that scene, he still feels embarrassed.

"Huh? Were you there?" Lan fell into deep thought, and seemed to have no memory of the incident. It might be because Li Jie did not leave a deep impression on her at that time. I guess she felt that seeing Li Jie at that time was just like seeing a random passerby on the street.

Li Jie was stunned.

Lan held his chin with one hand and gently scratched his chin with the end of his hair, recalling: "I remember the first time I saw you, it was you who used the Buddhist palm seal to destroy a monster from hell, right?"

Li Jie was sure that before he used the Mahavairocana Seal to destroy the monster, in Lan's eyes, he was probably just an ordinary person. He waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to dwell on those details.

"Well, those are not important." Lan said cheerfully, no longer thinking about those trivial things. "But your palm print did leave a deep impression on me. The power was as strong as the scorching sun. Although it seemed insignificant, I am sure that it was the true power of Buddhism."

Li Jie had no objection to Lan's statement. He reviewed the martial arts he had practiced: "Eight Wind-Breaking Swords", "Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada", "Vajra Indestructible Body Divine Art", "Ten Dwelling Mahayana Art", "Great Sun Tathagata Seal" and "Nine Purple Thunder Strikes".

Among them, except for the most basic "Eight Wind-Breaking Swords" and "Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada", among the other four martial arts, except "Nine Strikes of Purple Thunder", the other three are related to Buddhism.

Li Jie had not paid much attention to this fact before, but with Lan's reminder, he noticed this problem.

"As for whether to kill or not, it's actually not important." Lan shook his head and said, "Killing is to protect life, and to kill karma is not to kill people. What you did before might not be true killing. If you don't have any thoughts, you won't have any calamities. I'm not a Buddhist, so it's hard for me to explain this to you in detail."

"Actually, do you know why Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva appeared in hell last time to help us mediate?" Lan suddenly asked a question.

"I don't know. Isn't it for the purpose of maintaining the peace and tranquility of hell? Doom and I are planning to blow up hell!" Li Jie didn't quite understand the meaning behind Lan's words.

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is a Bodhisattva, not a demon!" Lan said meaningfully, "Do you know what Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's great aspiration is?"

Li Jie thought for a moment and replied, "I will not become a Buddha until hell is empty."

Lan applauded Li Jie's answer: "Congratulations, you got it right, Master!"

Lan looked at Li Jie with a smile and continued, "So, does the existence of hell really have a lot to do with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"

If what Lan said was true, and Ksitigarbha's wish was to clean up hell, then why should he intervene? Just pretend not to see it. He was not a demon, and hell was not his home.

"So, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is for you, Master Night Walker!" Lan emphasized the word "Master". The conversation between the two was conducted in Chinese. It is important to know that in Chinese, "Master" has many different meanings.

"Huh?" Li Jie became more and more confused.

Lan looked at Li Jie's appearance at the moment and couldn't help wondering how a clever young man could become so stupid. This man could come up with so many crazy ideas and plans, and even the prince of Asgard was plotted by him, but why was he so clumsy at this moment? So Lan couldn't help but say, "Because you are the last Buddhist practitioner!"

"Puff!" Li Jie felt that he was greatly shocked. Yes, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did say last time that Buddhist practitioners were very rare, but did he mean that he was the last one left?

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva may not care about what hell is like, but he must see with his own eyes whether you are safe and sound!" Lan said in a low voice, completely ignoring the huge shock Li Jie felt at the moment.

"There are fewer and fewer Buddhist practitioners. This is no joke. Wang has been following the Master for hundreds of years. He once told me that hundreds of years ago, countless Buddhist practitioners fought together with Master Gu Yi."

Hearing this, Li Jie couldn't help but admire Gu Yi's extensive network of contacts. However, Lan's next words brought him more confusion.

"Gradually, there were fewer and fewer Buddhist practitioners, and the Buddhas from the West who came to Kamar-Taki became increasingly rare. Until the three major holy temples were completed, the Buddhas from the West never set foot in Kamar-Taki again." Lan is only twenty-one years old this year. She did not experience that era personally. These are the stories she heard from the king.

"The king said that this is because the construction of the super-stable space has made it inconvenient to travel back and forth, and the Buddhas all like peace and quiet, so the number of trips has decreased. After I came to Kamartaki, I only saw Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. But I always feel that something is wrong."

"Because there are fewer and fewer Buddhist practitioners, the last one I've seen, except for you, died ten years ago. His soul was supposed to go to the Lingshan Divine Kingdom in the West Heaven, but it lingered in front of his corpse for forty-nine days and eventually turned into a handful of energy between heaven and earth."
