I'm a hero in Marvel

Lan shook her head. She seemed to realize that she had said too much just now. She didn't want to continue this topic, so she changed the topic and said, "It's just that the affinity between the people of today and Buddha may be too shallow, just like the practice of Buddhists and Dharma masters, both follow the theory of destiny. Fate or no fate can clearly divide people into two camps. Master Night Walker, I think maybe you are a person with a deep affinity with Buddha."

Lan said, standing up from the steps, gently lifted the hood on Li Jie's head, and touched Li Jie's hair with his hand: "Who knows, one day in the future Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will help you to shave your head."

Feeling the warmth from Lan's hand touching his head, Li Jie shook his head and said, "Forget it, there's no way I'm going to be a monk. Even if I'm forced to become a monk, I'll probably end up breaking my vows in the future."

"Are you planning to set up an organization and set up its headquarters on Venus?" When Gu Yi came back from London, Li Jie started discussing the affairs of the Illuminati with Gu Yi without much pause.

"That's right, Master. We sincerely invite you to join this organization." Li Jie nodded seriously. "To be honest, there are many threats in this world, and the government is not necessarily trustworthy."

Li Jie stated directly. In response, Gu Yi did not refute, but asked in an inquiring tone: "Why do you think so?"

"Humans are actually very smart creatures." Li Jie did not immediately talk about the government issue, but first commented on humans, "When a person is in trouble, he can always show unexpected potential and wisdom."

"Individuals are indeed very smart!" Li Jie stretched out a finger, Gu Yi nodded, and then Li Jie said: "However, a group of people are often very stupid!" After he said that, he retracted his finger and clenched it into a fist.

"As animals that live in groups, humans always have something to rely on. In many cases, they expect others to help them complete things that they should handle themselves." Li Jie revealed a lot about the essence of human nature.

"History is replete with examples of when a visionary person puts forward a point of view, he is often influenced or even controlled by others."

Ancient One smiled and asked back: "Then can you guarantee that your ideas are correct? Your organization has genius scientists, wealthy businessmen, outstanding orators like you, leaders of mutants, and even the most influential heroes in today's society!"

"Do you know how great an impact such a group would have on the world?" Ancient One asked calmly.

"Yes, Master, we are aware of our responsibilities. That's why we invite you. The original intention of establishing the Illuminati was that Tony Stark hoped that someone would stop him when he got too excited. In order to achieve this goal, he decided to create the Illuminati." Li Jie nodded and explained the true meaning of the organization.

"I remember the first time I met you, you took me to see the rise and fall of civilizations on other planets in the universe. In comparison, the Earth is too young. Facing those civilizations that can easily destroy the entire star system, we hope to unite. You must be aware of this situation."

Li Jie told this to Master Ancient One, who did not respond immediately. Li Jie continued, "I wonder if you have heard of the existence of the Brotherhood of the Shield. There was such an organization, and Tony's father was one of them. Their slogan was 'Our world should not perish like this', and I agree with this concept very much."

Hearing Li Jie mention the Holy Shield Brotherhood, Gu Yi frowned slightly, but soon relaxed his brows. He said to Li Jie: "Holy Shield Brotherhood? It seems that you have forgotten that this is Kamartaki. Last time when you comprehended your inner strength in the library, I think Lan should have mentioned something to you. Isaac Newton left a note here."

When Li Jie heard what Gu Yi said, he suddenly remembered that this had happened. In the depths of his memory, many trivial details began to emerge. That time, he saw countless scenes in the library of Kamataki and saw many things in the illusion of the birth of the universe.

Among them was a vision that he had witnessed not long ago in the Eternal City of Rome - the immortal symbol of the Holy Shield Brotherhood, a spear and a solid shield!

Li Jie was not sure if there was a connection. If many sages left their knowledge in Kamar-Taki, did Newton also leave his research on the Holy Shield Brotherhood to Kamar-Taki? After all, the Eternal City had been destroyed and only ruins remained.

As for what the Holy Shield and the Spear represent, Li Jie and Tony are very interested. Unfortunately, the Holy Shield has disappeared, and it is unknown whether the Spear stored in the Eastern Branch is safe.

Just as Li Jie was thinking, Ancient One had no intention of letting him think about these questions quietly here: "Newton first came to Kamartaki around 1800. At that time, he was the greatest scientist in the world. Many of his ideas were amazing. He came to Kamartaki to seek the power of magic to explain some things that science had not been able to answer at that time."

He lived in Kamar-Taki for twenty years, during which time he learned a lot and left many traces. Li Jie noticed that Ancient One emphasized "part", which meant that Ancient One did not fully accept the ideas of the Holy Shield Brotherhood.

Despite their differences, the Ancient One was still saddened when he learned that the Aegis Brotherhood was gone, and he shook his head.

At this time, Li Jie suddenly asked curiously: "Master, do you know how the Holy Shield Brotherhood disappeared?"

Ancient One said he didn't know, because the Brotherhood of the Shield strictly adhered to the principle of confidentiality, and he respected and had no intention of violating their rules. They had always been self-disciplined, and Ancient One never interfered with them. In fact, it was not until the Brotherhood of the Shield completely disappeared that Ancient One knew that the secret organization no longer existed.

Li Jie could only shake his head and sigh. After all, that happened sixty or seventy years ago, and there was no point in asking about it again. The most important thing now was to deal with his own affairs.

So he asked Ancient One: "So Master, about the Illuminati..."

After hearing this, Gu Yi narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then slowly replied: "I will assist you in building a channel connecting Venus and Earth, but I don't have time to attend your meeting."

Gu Yi was a busy man, and Li Jie had expected this. His refusal was not surprising, as Gu Yi's willingness to help build the space channel was the best answer.

"And about the Buddhist practitioners, what Lan told you before is basically correct." Gu Yi mentioned the previous conversation between Lan and Li Jie: "It is better to be self-reliant than to seek help from others. If you really want to help your friend, you might as well improve your own Buddhist practice."

Upon hearing this, Li Jie couldn't help but ask, "Are you suggesting that I become a monk?"

In response, Gu Yi smiled but did not answer, and continued, "I can give you all the books about Buddhist practitioners. In the past, I had some interactions with various major Buddhist schools, and after they failed to find suitable disciples, these books were given to me for safekeeping."

This is good news for Li Jie. There is a lot of basic knowledge in Buddhism that is interoperable with metaphysics. This way, his own practice will have a direction.

However, for some reason, Li Jie always felt that Gu Yi seemed to be persuading him to become a monk.

When Li Jie was about to leave after finishing all the topics, Gu Yi called him and said, "Wait a moment, I need your help with something."

Gu Yi did not hesitate to ask Li Jie for help. Li Jie had no choice but to refuse Gu Yi's request. Moreover, Gu Yi had never asked him to do anything bad for a long time, except for taking in a fat Thor.

"It's a small matter, don't worry." Ancient One waved his hand to indicate that the matter was simple: "I hope Lan can enter the secular society. She needs to leave Kamar-Taki."

"What?" Li Jie didn't understand what Gu Yi meant.

It turned out that this was the result of Ancient One's thinking from the conversation with Mordo in London: "Among all my disciples, Lan is the most special one. She was abandoned at birth, and I brought her back and raised her. She is a wizard who has never experienced worldly life."

"I think it's okay, Master. I don't think Master Lan is any different from other mages." Li Jie believes that it is of no benefit to let Lan live in the secular society, especially in modern society where pollution is serious. It is better for him to stay in the quiet and peaceful Kamar-Taki.

"It's a big difference, Night Walker." Ancient One retorted: "Almost all wizards have experienced the joys and sorrows and sufferings of the secular life. Almost every wizard was an ordinary person before mastering magic. But Lan was born isolated from all this, which is not good."

Just as Mordo said in London, maybe something really happened. Ancient One continued: "Like all Buddhist practitioners in the past, the master also needs to go through the trials of the secular world. It's just that Lan's experience is reversed."

Unfortunately, Li Jie has not seen the movie "Doctor Strange". In this movie, which was released after he traveled through time, Doctor Strange is exactly the kind of typical growth of a mage that Ancient One said - without setbacks and pain, there is no growth. In fact, Lan's ability has reached a bottleneck, and Ancient One knows this very well, so he made such a request.

In addition, Gu Yi also said bluntly: "I still need to find a successor."

"I always thought Lan was your successor." Li Jie was confused.

"No, she is not. She is my disciple, but she is not the heir to the position of Supreme Sorcerer." Gu Yi explained seriously: "So I still need Lan to go to the mortal world to help me find a suitable successor."

As it was a question of Kamar-Taiji and the inheritance of the Supreme Sorcerer, Li Jie could not say much and could only ask: "So how do you want me to help you with this matter?"

"I heard that you have been taking care of Thor recently. Well, I should say you have been taking good care of him." Ancient One accidentally made a slip of the tongue and exposed his true thoughts.

"Ah, probably. I guess Odin probably hasn't seen Thor's current appearance recently." Li Jie was doubtful. Ancient One already knew that he had raised Thor into a fat otaku, so did Odin know about it?
