Chapter Ninety-Five: Let's Get Another One
"You're saying you want to set up an organization and set up your own base on Venus?" When the Ancient One returned from London, Li Jie spoke with the Ancient One about the Illuminati without much pause. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Yes Mage, we invite you to join this organization. Li Jie nodded seriously. "Truth be told, there are a lot of threats in this world, and governments don't necessarily have to be trusted. ”
Li Jie said bluntly. The Ancient One didn't refute this, but he said in an inquiring tone, "Why do you think that?"
"Humans are actually a very intelligent species. "At first, Li Jie did not directly talk about the government, but talked about human beings. "When a person is in danger, human beings are always able to unleash their unexpected potential and wisdom. ”
"A single human is smart!" Li Jie raised a finger, Gu Yi nodded, Li Jie continued: "But a group of people are stupid!" Li Jie withdrew his fingers into a fist.
"People are always dependent as social animals, and many times they often look to other people to help them do their own things. Li Jie pointed out the essence of many people.
"Historically, this kind of example is not uncommon, when a visionary person comes up with an idea, he is always swayed or even controlled by other people. ”
Gu Yi asked with a smile, "Then can you be sure that your idea must be correct?" The members of your organization include genius scientists and tycoons, outstanding lobbyists like you, leaders among mutants, and even the most appealing heroes of modern society!"
"Do you know how much of an impact you can have on the world if you all come together?" asked the ancient one faintly.
"Yes mage, we know our weight very well. That's why we're extending an invitation to you. Tony Stark, who founded this organization, had the idea of someone to stop him while his own brain was hot. That's why he wanted to set up the Illuminati. Li Jie nodded. Explain what this organization really means.
"I still remember the first time you met me, you showed me the constant rise and fall of the planetary civilizations in this universe, the earth is too immature, compared to those civilizations that can destroy a star system at every turn. That's why we expect us to be able to organize. You know those things for sure. ”
Li Jie said this to Master Gu Yi, but Gu Yi did not answer directly. Li Jie continued, "I don't know if you know about the existence of the Brotherhood of Aegis, there was once such an organization, and Tony's father was a member of it. And the slogan of the Aegis Brotherhood: Our world should not die here. I agree with this philosophy. ”
Hearing Li Jie mention the Holy Shield Brotherhood, Gu Yi's brows furrowed imperceptibly, but he quickly opened his mind. He looked at Li Jie and said, "Aegis Brotherhood? I think you probably forgot that this is Kamataki. The last time you went to the library to realize your inner strength, I think Arashi should have mentioned to you that Isaac Newton left his notes here. ”
Yes! Li Jie suddenly remembered that this was indeed the case when he heard Gu Yi's words, and many small details began to appear in his dusty memory. On that occasion, he saw countless images in Kamataki's library, and Li Jie saw many things from the illusion of the birth of the universe.
And one of them, he had just seen the real thing in the Immortal City of Rome not long ago. That is the immortal symbol of the Brotherhood of the Aegis, a spear and a shield!
Li Jie didn't know if there was any connection between this, if countless sages had left their own knowledge in Kamatagei, then did Newton also leave his knowledge about the Aegis Brotherhood in Kamatage?
As for what exactly the Holy Shield and the Divine Spear are, Li Jie and Tony are very interested. It's a pity that Howard is vague in the notes he left for Tony. However, in 2620 BCE, Imhotep defeated the alien aliens who invaded Earth at that time with two weapons.
It can be said that there are too many speculations left for these two weapons! Unfortunately, the Holy Shield has disappeared, and the Divine Spear kept in the Eastern Branch does not know if it is safe.
When Li Jie fell into thought, Gu Yi did not intend to let him think quietly about these responsible questions: "Newton first came to Kamataki around 1800, when he was the greatest scientist in the world. Many of his ideas were so compelling that he sought Kamataki in search of the power of magic to explain what science could not answer at the time. ”
"He lived in Kamateiki for twenty years, learned a lot and left a lot behind. I agree with some of the ideas of their organization. Li Jie noticed that Gu Yi was talking about part of the word. In other words, the Ancient One did not fully endorse the ideas of the Brotherhood of the Aegis.
"Of course, there are differences, but I still feel a little sad when I learn that the Brotherhood of the Aegis is gone. The Ancient One shook his head.
Li Jie was suddenly curious: "Mage, do you know how the Holy Shield Brotherhood perished?"
"It's not clear that the Aegis Brotherhood strictly adheres to secrecy, and I have no intention of breaking their own rules. They have always been self-disciplined, and I don't supervise them. The Ancient One said that he did not know the beginning and end of the demise of the Brotherhood of Aegis. It was only after the complete demise of the Brotherhood of the Aegis that he learned that the secret organization had disappeared.
In this regard, Li Jie could only shake his head helplessly, Li Jie did not plan to pursue too much about the matter of the Holy Shield Brotherhood. After all, it was the old yellow calendar from sixty or seventy years ago, and it doesn't make sense to turn it through now. Now it's important to solve your own problems.
"So Master, about the Illuminati?" Li Jie finally asked Gu Yi.
"The Illuminati?" Ancient One forced his eyes to think for a moment, and finally said slowly, "I will help you build a passage across Venus and Earth. But I don't have time to attend your meetings. ”
Gu Yi is actually a very busy person, Li Jie guessed it early in the morning. His refusal was entirely expected, and Li Jie was not surprised at all. It would have been the best outcome for the Ancient One to agree to help build a spatial portal.
"In addition, about the Buddhist practitioners, what Lan told you before is basically not wrong. By the way, Gu Yi said the content of the conversation between Lan and Li Jie just now: "It is better to ask for others than for yourself." If you really want to help your friends, you might as well deepen your Buddhist practice. ”
"Eh, are you trying to persuade me to become a monk?" Li Jie looked at Gu Yi and suddenly wondered if this was a conspiracy between Jizo and Gu Yi.
Gu Yi smiled and didn't say anything, he just continued: "I can give you all the books about Buddhist cultivators. At that time, I had some contacts with several major schools of Buddhist practitioners. After they didn't have a suitable disciple, the books were handed over to me for safekeeping. ”
For Li Jie, this may be good news, Buddhism has a lot of basic knowledge that is common to metaphysics, so his own practice can be regarded as a success, right?
But why does it always feel like the ancient one is persuading himself to be a monk?
When everything was finished and Li Jie was about to leave, Gu Yi stopped Li Jie: "Wait a while, I have something I want to ask you." "Gu Yi didn't say anything polite to Li Jie, and he just asked you to do something.
"At your command. "Regarding the things that Gu Yi explained, in fact, Li Jie didn't have much room to refuse, and after knowing each other for so long, Gu Yi never really let him do anything bad. Well, except for fostering a fat Thor.
"A little thing, don't be too nervous. The ancient one waved his hand, signaling that it was a simple matter: "I want Arashi to enter the secular world to live. She needs to get out of Kamataki. ”
"What?" Li Jie didn't understand the meaning of the ancient words.
This is the result of the Ancient One's thinking from the dialogue between London and Mordo. "Of all the disciples, Arashi was the most special, she was abandoned when she was born, and I took her back to raise her. She is a mage who has never lived in the world. The Ancient One shook his head.
"Hmm? That doesn't seem to be a problem, mage. I don't think Arashi is any different from other mages. Li Jie didn't think there was any benefit in letting Arashi go to the secular world to live, especially since the modern society is so polluted, it is better to stay in the quiet and peaceful Kamataki.
"The difference is a big nightcrawler. The Ancient One denied: "Almost all mages have lived in the world, experiencing joys, sorrows, and mortal sorrows. Almost all mages are mortal before mastering their spells. But Arashi was inherently cut off from all of this. It's not good. Gu Yi shook his head and said.
Because some of what Mordo said in London may indeed be true, and some things may actually be happening. Gu Yi continued, "Just like all former Buddhist cultivators, Dharma teachers also need to go through mortal experience. It's just that Arashi's order is reversed. ”
It's a pity that Li Jie hasn't seen the movie "Doctor Strange", this is a story that was released after he crossed over, and the Dr. Strange in it is exactly what the ancient one said, a model of mage growth. You can't grow without setbacks and pain, and the world is fair. In fact, Lan's ability was close to a bottleneck, and the ancient one knew this very well, so he made this request.
"And I also need to find a successor. Gu Yi said bluntly to Li Jie.
"I thought Arashi was your successor. Li Jie was a little puzzled.
"No, she's not. She is my disciple, but she is not the successor to the position of Supreme Master. The Ancient One said seriously: "So I still need Arashi to go to the mortal world to help me find a suitable replacement." ”
Well, this kind of thing involves the inheritance of Kama Taiji and the Supreme Mage, Li Jie had no choice but to interject and could only say, "So what do you want me to help you?"
"I heard that Thor was recently raised by you, oh no. I mean, Thor has been well taken care of lately by you. Gu Yi just made a slip of the tongue and told his inner thoughts.
"Ah, probably. I guess Odin hasn't been looking at Thor lately. "Li Jie has a speculation in his heart, and he already knows about the fact that he raised Thor into a fat house? I don't know if Odin knows!
"No, the war with the dark elves has taken away all his attention. He hadn't had time to read about Thor yet. But I would say that you should move a little faster. If necessary, some violent means are also needed. Gu Yi said very seriously.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Li Jie felt that Gu Yi's voice seemed to be lowered when discussing this issue, as if he was afraid of being heard.
Li Jie also whispered: "I even use an assault rifle, and I've done my best." ”
Hearing Li Jie's answer, Gu Yi smiled with satisfaction: "I think one sheep is also driven, and two sheep are also released." While you take care of Thor, you can also help me take care of Arashi's life in the city!"
"Huh, you're not kidding, you've seen Thor!"
Gu Yi smiled: "Don't worry, Lan won't be obsessed with Coke and fried chicken." ”
