642, Kama Taj
After some time.
Himalayan foothills, Kama Taj.
According to Pembourne's address, Strange, who had been wandering the streets of Nepal for several days and nights, was dragged into a temple by a burly black man who identified himself as Mordo.
That's right, he is the disciple of the ancient one-Mo Du.
"Wait, man, you said you knew where Kama Taj was?" Strange looked warily at the black brother in front of him, seeing a black man in Nepal was more magical than seeing a penguin in the African savannah.
"Yes, if you're really here to find Kama Taj, I can take you there." Mordo said sincerely, "By the way, my name is Mordo. β
"Oh, I can't believe strangers anymore." Strange said depressedly, "At least five people have told me these days that he can take me to Kama Taj, but they just took me to a strange alley to rob me......"
"It doesn't matter if it's just robbery, but some people ......"
"Forget it, let him pass through the past."
Strange had endured more pain than he had ever endured in the first half of his life, and his mental defenses had been destroyed again and again, so even if Mordo had not led him into an alley, but into a magnificent temple, it would have been difficult for him to believe the black monk.
But then Mordo's words lit up hope in his heart.
"Goofy introduced you?" He asked, looking back.
"Goofy? Do you know Goofy? Do you know Goofy? β
Although Goofy is now a world-famous superhero, Strange is skeptical that his fame has spread to the remote Himalayas.
Since the Mo Du in front of him knows Gao Fei, it means that he should not be an ordinary robber.
"Yes, I had the privilege of fighting alongside him some time ago." Mordo replied calmly, "So...... Did Goofy introduce you? β
Hearing that Mordo knew Goofy, Strange was almost certain that he had found the right person.
But upon hearing Goofy's name, Strange couldn't help but get angry.
"Hmph, Goofy, he introduced me to Kama Taj? He's not so kind! β
"That sanctimonious hypocrite, a hypocritical man full of benevolence and morality!"
Mordo didn't expect Strange to have such a big prejudice against Goofy, and he had never met anyone who didn't like Goofy.
"Oh, Mr. Strange, it looks like there's something unpleasant between you and Goofy."
"Unpleasant?" Strange snorted coldly, "What's not just unpleasant? I had a car accident, my hands were completely out of control, my future and career were ruined, and my life was completely hopeless......"
"Goofy can obviously help me and help me get back to normal, but he didn't do it, what did he say...... Hehehe, I brought it all on myself! β
"What a damn guy!"
The more Strange spoke, the angrier he became.
Mordo did not rush to express his opinion, but continued to ask, "So, Mr. Strange, is Goofy right?" Did you bring it all on? β
"How did you get into a car accident?"
Strange looked at Mordo with some displeasure: "Are you Kama Taj people so gossipy?" β
Mordo smiled: "I just want to know the truth of this matter. β
"Okay, okay......" Strange rolled his eyes helplessly, before admitting, "I was in an accident because I was speeding, and I was over the speed limit by 80%......"
"80 percent of speeding ......," Mordo said, "but I don't think for a surgeon with a good mental state and skill level, 80 percent speeding doesn't necessarily cause a traffic accident, right?" Even in the case of severe speeding, you can still control it, right? β
"Uh......" Strange added embarrassedly as Mordo revealed the truth, "but I was dealing with some ...... at the time Message, I'm looking at my phone and discussing some cases with my colleagues. β
"That's right." Mordo smiled, "Mr. Strange, if you make a mistake, you will swallow the bitter fruit, won't you?" If Goofy easily repairs your hands and heals your wounds, you will only make bigger mistakes later. β
"Tsk......" Strange didn't expect Mordo's tone to be exactly the same as Goofy's, which made him very unhappy.
But after all, there is a request for someone, and Strange does not argue with Mordo again.
At this time, the two of them walked through the temple, and there was a hole at the end of the narrow corridor of the temple.
I don't know what the principle is, Strange actually walked directly from a narrow corridor to the halfway point of the Himalayas!
It's a plateau on top of a cliff, and in the distance are towering mountains covered with snow.
Turn left at the entrance, and on the platform is a row of three-eaves pagoda-style buildings, which Mordo tells Strange that this style of architecture has the same name as the Nepalese city of Kathmandu outside the gate, which originally means "trees and temples" in Sanskrit.
"This ...... How can it be? We obviously came out of that temple, we were obviously in the city, why did we come here all of a sudden...... Halfway up the mountain? β
Strange looked at the space in front of him in shock, and the abrupt transformation of this space caught him off guard.
"There are many things in the world that cannot be explained by common sense and science." Mordo smiled, not at all surprised by Strange's reaction.
"So, please meet my master, Venerable Supreme Master, next?" Mordo gestured to a tearoom in front of him.
Strange was still in a state of confusion, and he followed Mordo all the way to the tea room.
At this time, there was already a bald female monk waiting for him in the tea room, this bald female monk had her back to the door, as if she was meditating.
"You're here? Strange. βan elegant, calm voice came, the bald female monk's voice surprisingly calm.
"Are you...... Are you the master here? Abbot? Elder? Or...... Master or something? What should I call you? Strange looked hesitantly at the bald female monk in front of him and asked in a low voice.
"It's okay to call me the Ancient One, or you can call me a mage." Gu Yi greeted him with a smile, "I can see that you have suffered a lot in order to come here." β
"Oh, that's of course......" Strange didn't hide it, and then asked eagerly, "I heard you can heal my hands and restore me to normal, right?" β
"Can you really do it? When do we start? β
The Ancient One mage glanced at his hands that were still trembling and dissatisfied with the scars, and smiled, "You have a strong sense of purpose, as soon as you enter the door, you will go straight to the topic......"
"Of course!" Strange nodded, "Otherwise, why do you think I came to the Himalayas with so much suffering?" β
