As Li Jie followed Arashi through the black stone path of Kamataki, he climbed the steps one by one to the ancient one's residence. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Jie still had a sense of surprise. It is the highest place in the world and is surrounded by the majestic Himalayas as far as the eye can see.

The snow-capped mountains are like a strong wall, encircling the whole of Kamataki under their protection.

It was supposed to be cold, as can be seen by the snowflakes falling from the mountain stream and the year-round snow on the summit.

But in this small town in the mountains, Kamataki doesn't feel cold at all, Li Jie is still wearing a New York winter coat, and he even feels a little hot when he arrives here.

Because it is obvious that the temperature of Kamateiki should be kept at about 20 degrees Celsius, which is a very pleasant temperature.

And the air here is not as thin as Li Jie imagined, although it is indeed lower than the oxygen content of the plains, but it is not enough to make people suffer from altitude sickness.

Everything here is contrary to scientific common sense.

In fact, it can be said that magic itself is contrary to science, or to put it more accurately, magic itself is contrary to the scientific common sense currently known to mankind.

"Can you tell me where exactly this place is?" Li Jie followed Lan's footsteps as he walked through the town.

"This is Kamataki, this is the garden of magic. Arashi slowed down and began to explain to Li Jie.

"This is a hidden place in the Himalayas that no one else can set foot in with the permission of the Supreme Master. ”

"We are followers of the Ancient One, learning from him magic and infinite knowledge. Arashi said that there was a kind of worship in the ancient one.

Kamataki is not very big, just a very small town, but the architecture here is very interesting.

There is a feeling that the traditional Chinese Han architecture is integrated with Tibetan architecture and even some Indian architecture, where you can see the cornices and corners and the blue bricks and gray tiles.

You can also see the golden glazed dome and white walls.

And during the walk, there were other mages who practiced here to say hello to Lan. They used a complicated etiquette, and Li Jie didn't understand it too much.

In the center of Kamataki there is a wide square where many mages practice, and there are many ways to practice.

Someone sat cross-legged suspended in mid-air, someone's hands emitted golden light, and the mysterious magic circle took shape in his hands.

Many more are holding huge books and reading in the daylight. (Note: It's night in New York, and it's daytime in China right now.) ）

And what Li Jie couldn't understand the most was that there was a group of people who were drawing circles with their hands on the air, and the air in front of them did not change at all.

This kind of action looks ridiculous.

Is this a kind of training? What is training? Training one's own cheekiness and the ability to avoid laughter?

Maybe one day you will meet the Evil Ghost Rider riding the Phoenix 28 or the Evil Ghost Rider of the Electric Little Sheep, so as not to be killed by the other party's funny?

This short journey was an eye-opener for Li Jie, and what happened here made him feel very incredible.

"The Ancient One is waiting for you inside, go in, Nightcrawler. Arashi stopped in front of a vermilion house.

She said, pointing to a house that didn't look very special.

The environment here was different from what Li Jie had imagined, and the Supreme Mage's residence seemed to be a bit too simple.

This is not disrespectful to the ancient one, but a mage with such power, and it is not surprising that he lives in even the most luxurious palace in the world.

Although this vermilion house looks quite magnificent, it is only a little magnificent, and it seems that it is completely unworthy of the identity of the ancient one.

When Li Jie retreated from the room, he was guided by Lan through the atrium and into a large hall.

And the ancient one was sitting in the center of the hall meditating, he already knew that Arashi had brought the person he wanted to meet, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Mage, the Nightkin has arrived. Lan saluted to Gu Yixing.

Li Jie followed Lan and saluted Gu Yixing, but because he was not very familiar with the etiquette of the mage, Li Jie's salute looked a bit nondescript.

"Thank you, Arashi. You can step down for now, I need to talk to Nightkin alone. The Ancient One's tone was calm, and there was a feeling of relaxation to listen to.

"Yes, mage. Arashi slowly exited the hall, closing the door before leaving.

"Arashi told me you were special. Gu Yi left the posture of sitting cross-legged, he stood up, and slowly walked into Li Jie.

There is an inexplicable coercion in Gu Yi's body, Li Jie doesn't know if this is deliberate or Gu Yi himself inadvertently emanated.

But the pressure made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Venerable Supreme Venerable Li Jie lowered his posture, because Iron Fist had told him the story of the Ancient One.

This is a master who can tear the demon god into pieces and throw the corpse of the universe to shock others. It's better to be humble.

"Because I'm curious. Gu Yi smiled, and he circled around Li Jie twice. And the coercion on his body seems to have subsided at this time.

This made Li Jie feel a little more comfortable.

"You're an eccentric cultivator. Gu Yi stopped observing Li Jie in circles, and stood directly in front of Li Jie's eyes.

There was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"I know almost all the schools of practice on Earth, and even if I don't, there are texts in Kamataki's library. ”

"And you are very special, there is no cultivator on earth like you. Where does your strength come from?"

Gu Yi's words were very soft, but in Li Jie's ears, they were like a thunderbolt.

When Gu Yi got the news of Li Jie, he was originally just interested in Li Jie, who had special powers.

As mentioned before, there is a need for more warriors on Earth now, and the Ancient One is picking guardians worth cultivating.

And the Nightkin entered his list, but when he met Li Jie today, Gu Yi found that Li Jie seemed to have some secrets, and he couldn't know whether this kind of secret was good or bad.

"I can't explain where my power comes from, mage. Li Jie was not prepared to hide himself, because he knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to hide it.

And where is it hidden on the earth that will not be discovered by the ancient one? Li Jie can't find it, so before he came, he had the idea that he would be seen through.

And now his only problem is how to gain the trust of the ancient one, so that he can believe that he has no malicious intentions.

"You can understand my power as the reward for doing good, or for doing good. Li Jie used more euphemistic sentences to tell the source of his strength.

"No need to explain because I'll figure it out. Gu Yi said calmly.

At this moment, Li Jie was closed with almost no resistance to his six senses, and the hall where the ancient one was located was also instantly arranged with a mirror wall.

The Ancient One liked Nightkin behavior, but he didn't expect a terrifying demon god to override it all behind it.

And the energy on Li Jie's body is very weird, it seems to be deliberately showing itself.

Originally, it was supposed to be very hidden, and the Ancient One should not be able to detect it at all, but when the Ancient One circled around Li Jie.

This energy appeared deliberately, as if to tell the Ancient One that I was here.

What is this? a provocation to the Supreme Mage? What are some other reasons?

When the mage's wall of mirrors was erected, the power began to manifest itself more and more, and even before the mage could find out, it appeared in front of the Ancient One.

A small ball of blue fire appeared from Li Jie's chest, a feeling that made Gu Yi feel familiar and unfamiliar.

He could barely restrain himself from reaching out his fingers to touch the blue tinder, knowing that in the world of magic, it was very dangerous to use his body to touch anything unknown.

The Ancient One knew this, but at this moment he couldn't control his fingers, as if he would lose an important opportunity if he didn't.

And it is possible to make a decision that he will regret for the rest of his life.

When the Ancient One's finger touched the blue tinder, no one knew what had happened.

It seemed that it had been a long time before the ancient one broke away from contact with the blue tinder, and there was a thoughtful expression on his face.

There seemed to be some struggle, but soon a decision was made.

He pulled out a magical object from the chest of his mage robe, a padlock with intricate patterns and layers of seals.

Beneath this layer of seals, there is a powerful force fluctuating, and a green gem is set in it.

"Hopefully my decision is the right one. Gu Yi whispered.

He unlocked the seal on the green gem, and Haoran's magic power fluctuations poured out instantly, but the ancient one was already prepared.

He collected all his mana, and a green circle formed between his hands, and at that moment the timeline began to recede.

The wall of mirrors fell, Li Jie's six senses recovered, and Arashi reappeared in this room.

The whole world seems to be in an upside-down stance, and everything is grouped together at a specific point in time.

As Li Jie followed Arashi's footsteps through the black stone path of Kamataki, stepping up the stairs to the ancient one's abode, he had a strange sense of déjà vu.

Have I been to this place? Why do I feel so familiar? Could it be that I have been sleeping a little foggy these days? )
