Chapter 48: The Holy of Holies
"Supreme, are you looking for me?"
Gao Ren came to the temple and met the Ancient One.
The Ancient One Master nodded and said to Gao Ren:
"Yes, I came to you to discuss something with you, and I plan to send you back to Xiangjiang."
Gao Ren's color changed slightly, raised his head to look at the ancient one, and asked:
"Supreme, are you trying to drive me away? Did I do something wrong, that's why you drove me away? ”
The Ancient One Master shook his head and said solemnly to Gao Ren:
"You haven't done anything wrong, arranging for you to go back to Xiangjiang is a heavy task entrusted to you."
Gao Ren was a little reluctant from the bottom of his heart, and said to the Ancient One, "But I prefer to stay in Kathmandu and stay in Kama Taj." ”
Gao Ren didn't want to accept any heavy responsibility from the bottom of his heart, although he had turned over all the magic books in the library, and he had interpreted them in detail with the help of Haotian Shu, but what he had mastered at present was only some theories, and he lacked a lot of practice.
He also needs an experienced mage to guide him in the application of spells, so that he can grasp the essence of spells faster.
Undoubtedly, Kama Taj, who was gathered as a mage, was such an ideal place that met his requirements, and he was not willing to leave now.
Master Gu Yi continued without sorrow or joy, "I intend for you to take over our Holy of Holies in Xiangjiang. ”
"What? Let me! Supreme, you're making a big joke. ”
Gao Ren was immediately shocked, he never thought that the Ancient One Master would let him take over the Holy of Holies located in Xiangjiang.
Although the Holy of Holies in Xiangjiang is the worst of the three Holy of Holies in New York, Kathmandu, and Xiangjiang, it is still the Holy of Holies no matter how bad it is, so it is appropriate to hand it over to a novice who has just entered Kama Taj for more than a month? The Ancient One Mage wasn't afraid to cause displeasure from the rest of Kama Taj?
"Do you think I'm joking? With great power comes great responsibility. ”
The ancient master was very calm and very serious, and said to Gao Rendao, who was in shock,
"Surya told me about your recent situation, and I have already foreseen that you will be a great mage in the future through the Time Primordial. The Holy of Holies is the most suitable place for you, as it will give you the exercise you deserve and allow you to better protect the planet. ”
Hearing that the Ancient One Mage wanted to protect the earth by himself, Gao Ren felt a lot of pressure, he was now just a small human immortal, as if any dark boss could crush him with his little finger.
Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly and asked Master Gu Yi, "Can I refuse?" ”
The Ancient One Mage shook his head and said resolutely, "No." ”
"Alright then!" Gao Ren shrugged his shoulders and reluctantly resigned himself.
Who brought him to Kama Taj, since this is what he was destined to do, let the storm come more violently!
Ancient One Master made arrangements again, and said to Gao Ren, "I will arrange for Master Surya to be your assistant." ”
"Sourya?" When Gao Ren heard this, he immediately understood why Surya didn't give him a good look just now, it turned out that the problem was with the ancient first mage.
He touched his nose and thought to himself that this twisted melon was not sweet, and since Surya was unwilling to be his assistant, why should he force it.
So he used the excuse that the library could not have a caretaker, and wanted to persuade the ancient master to change his mind: "But the library can't be without an administrator, what if he leaves the library?" ”
"I'll rearrange someone to replace me."
Seeing that the ancient master insisted on this, Gao Ren didn't say anything, only shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "You can do whatever you say." ”
But thinking that it is now 1989, and in another ten years, Tianyou, Ma Xiaoling, Kazuo Yamamoto and others will appear, and when the time comes, Rulai and Guanyin will also appear, Gao Ren felt inexplicably heavy.
I don't know my current strength, how is it compared to Guo Tianyou and others?
In the past ten years, when he meets Rulai, can he have the power to fight to stop him from turning back time......
Gao Ren, who thought of these for a while, was entangled in his heart, and his brows swelled up.
When Master Gu Yi saw him like this, he thought that Gao Ren had some difficulty in accepting the Holy of Holies, so he asked him: "When it comes to returning to Xiangjiang, you have been frowning, do you have something on your mind?" ”
Gao Ren saw the Ancient One Master asking, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Supreme, do you know about Rulai?" ”
In his opinion, after all, the ancient master was a person who had lived for more than a thousand years, and it was impossible not to understand Rulai.
Sure enough, the Ancient One Mage nodded and said, "Yes, a stealer of the Saint's Relic. ”
"The stealer of the saint's relics?" Gao Ren was stunned for a moment, looked at the ancient master suspiciously, and asked, "Supreme, if you are Shakyamuni, who is a saint himself, how did you become the stealer of the saint's relics, are you mistaken?" ”
The Ancient One Master shook his head slightly, sighing a little at Gao Ren's ignorance.
"You're a person who sees the world through a hole, and you've spent your whole life trying to make it bigger, and you don't know what the world outside the hole is like.
Do you really think that the sacredness you see must have been accomplished by those saints and sages in ancient times?
As far as I know, Shakyamuni has long since passed away, and the old man has long since been feathered.
Moreover, the saints have always focused only on education, not on eternal life.
So what you see with your eyes and hear with your ears is not necessarily true. ”
Gao Ren's heart suddenly set off a monstrous wave, he didn't think that the ancient one mage had to deceive himself.
Since there is no need for the Ancient One Mage to lie to herself, what she said must be true.
Gao Ren, who was a little at ease in his heart, asked the ancient master what he was most concerned about: "That supreme can know how powerful Rulai is. ”
The Ancient One Master said, "If there is no Time Primordial Stone, I should be between him and him." ”
When Gao Ren heard this, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice: Fortunately, it's not outrageously strong.
I went to the heavy stone in my heart for a while, and knew that this was not the same as the other, and it was not like the Buddha in Journey to the West, who was so strong that it made people desperate, and I felt refreshed all over my body.
In order to thank the Ancient One for his doubts, and to thank Kama Taj for selflessly sharing his magical knowledge with him, Gao Ren took out the Mixed Yuan Sutra as a gift and gave it to the Ancient One:
"Supreme, this is the Mixed Yuan Sutra, which is a gift I left for Kama Taj before I left."
Ancient One Master took it, glanced at it, and handed it to Gao Ren again: "You take it back!" ”
Gao Ren looked at the Ancient One Master with some surprise and asked, "Is it the eyes of the Supreme Master who can't enter the Mixed Yuan Sutra?" ”
The Ancient One mage shook his head and said, "No, immortality is not Kama Taj's pursuit. ”
In her mind, she always believed that whether it was a mortal or a monk such as a mage or a qi refiner, they should follow in the footsteps of the ancient sages and take it as their mission to educate and protect this world, rather than pursuing eternal life and more powerful power.
Keeping the Mixed Yuan Sutra in Kama Taj is contrary to her original intention of creating Kama Taj.
