Chapter Twenty-Seven: Time is the setting pit, and it can't be filled
"Huh? Not directly to Kama Taj. After Sinan saw the scene in front of him, he knew that he had not reached Kama Taj directly. This is supposed to be one of those three temples, and geographically, it should be the New York Temple.
A mage appeared beside Sinan, and after bowing and saluting, he stretched out his right hand to guide Sinan, it seems that the ancient one sent to guide Sinan.
Sinan is not surprised that Gu Yi knew the news of his coming, after all, the door was open for a long time, and Gu Yi used some means to detect that he was normal. Instead, what made Sinan notice was that this mage was a Chinese and still dressed as a Taoist, but he seemed to be missing a hand.
Sinan was very curious about this mage dressed as a Taoist priest, and while following him, he wantonly looked at this suspected "colleague". After looking at it for a while, Sinan remembered that he had appeared in the movie, called Hamill, and was mistaken for "Ancient One" by Juan Fu when he first appeared.
"Are you a Taoist priest?" Sinan finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked. Who knew that this Hamill mage just glanced back at Sinan, nodded, shook his head again, and then continued to lead the way.
Sinan raised his eyebrows, and there were some doubts in his heart: What does it mean to nod and shake your head? Why don't you speak? Practice? Sinan was full of doubts but couldn't know, so he had to be patient for the time being, and prepared to ask Gu Yi for a while.
Master Hamill led Sinan through the corridor to a reception room on the first floor, where Gu Yi was waiting for Sinan. Hamill bowed slightly to the ancient one, then turned to leave. And Gu Yi sat on a chair, holding a pot of tea, and asked softly, "Do you want to drink?" ”
As soon as Sinan came in, he smelled the fragrance of tea, and now the owner invited him to eat, so he naturally nodded. Sinan sat opposite Gu Yi, took the tea handed over by Gu Yi, and took a sip. In an instant, the fragrance of tea permeated the entire mouth, and then the aroma entered the throat with the tea soup and spread to Sinan's whole body. Sinan even felt a burst of clarity in his mind, as if the dust on the mirror had been swept away and brightened again.
"Good tea!" Sinan couldn't help but praise, and then looked at Gu Yi: "Can you give me some of this tea?" ”
Gu Yi laughed: "This tea is not as magical as you think, just because it is the first time you drink the painted painting and have such a big reaction." And this tea is rare, and I don't have much. ”
Cut, forget it if you don't give it, there are so many excuses. Sinan slandered Gu Yi in his heart. However, since Gu Yi didn't give it, Sinan couldn't help it, so he took another sip of hot tea, and asked about the Hamill mage just now.
"Hamill? He was once a Taoist boy who followed his teacher and served in a Taoist temple. Then one day his teacher was gone, and he was the only one left. Confused, he came here by accident, and he wanted to stay, and I agreed to him. That's it. "Ancient One explained in a few words the origin of the Hamill master.
Sinan wanted to know more and more details, but from Gu Yi's somewhat vague words, he understood that Gu Yi didn't want to continue this topic, so he had to give up. However, the interest in this Hamill mage has not diminished, but has increased.
"So, what did you come to me for?" Gu Yi opened his mouth to ask Sinan for the purpose of coming to her? This surprised Sinan.
"I thought you saw it."
"I can't see the future at all, just the day the 'poet' appeared." Gu Yi's words made Sinan fall into deep thought: Is it because the appearance of non-existent characters has completely disrupted the already turbulent timeline? It's as if the surface of a calm lake was first rippled by the wind, and then a large rock was thrown into it? Don't you want to see the bottom of the lake until you calm down? So how long will it take for the muddy lake to recover? What if stones were thrown one after another before recovery?
For Sinan, the timeline confusion is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing. The good thing is that then no one can peek into the future, and no one will interfere in the present because of what happens in the future. The bad thing is that the originally established future began to deviate, and no one knows what will happen, and Sinan's "Prophet" special effects are also ineffective. Think about it, what would happen if Tony Stark didn't become Iron Man, but died in a terrorist attack? Thor didn't lift Thor's hammer and Asgard was ruled by Loki? The Chirita did not attack Earth because Thanos himself came......
These are not alarmists, but are likely to happen. These things are inherently a series of small probability events and some subtle coincidences. Who can ensure that there will not be the possibility that Sinan thinks. Other things are just that, no matter what the fate of the backstabber and Lei Da Hammer is, Sinan can handle it indifferently. But what about Thanos? What if this thing has a brain pump and comes to Earth to snatch the Infinity Stones? Unless Sinan had grown up to the point where he was not afraid of Thanos at that time, even with the addition of Asgard and Kama Taj, as well as mutants, even Hydra did not lag behind, it would be difficult to resist Thanos's might.
"That is, to try to maintain the original trajectory of the event? At the very least, before the Chirita people attack the earth, there can't be too much deviation? Sinan frowned, very annoyed.
"Looks like you've thought of the trouble with things, too." Gu Yi sat there drinking tea soup while observing the change in Sinan's expression. When he saw Sinan's frowns, he slowly floated out such a sentence.
Sinan's eyes widened and looked at Gu Yi: Haven't you been maintaining the stability of the timeline before? Why aren't you in a hurry now?
Seeing Sinan's "glaring" eyes, Gu Yi first drank a sip of tea soup, and then spoke leisurely after finally tasting it: "Don't worry, things are not so bad." I can't see the specifics of the future, but the 'length' of the future can still be felt. The intertwined threads of fate weave a thick and long future, and everything is going on in a good place. All we have to do is trim the excess 'thread'. ”
Sinan understood Gu Yi's words: different timelines are intertwined, and what has happened in countless futures has become 'inevitable', as long as some 'accidents' are trimmed, then the timeline will still continue according to the original trajectory. For example, Sinan's most worried Thanos attacked the earth in advance, as long as Thanos could not be sure that the earth's guard force was extremely weakened, then he would not act rashly, after all, Thanos without gloves was not invincible. Looking at the original plot, under what circumstances did Thanos choose to attack Earth? The ancient mage has fallen, and the new one is a hairy boy; Asgard falls, and the god-king Odin is nowhere to be found; Even the Avengers, the guardian force of the Earth's native body, was in civil strife, and the power of the Earth was at its lowest moment, so this star overlord came to Earth in an attempt to snatch the Infinity Stones. What if the upper echelons of the planet stood all the way online, or even more? Then even if Thanos comes back in the end, he will be well prepared in advance, which will invisibly delay the time for Thanos to attack.
Thinking of this, Sinan looked at Gu Yi and said with a smile: "It seems that you don't want to die." ”
Gu Yi put down the teacup and shrugged his shoulders: "Oh, is it so hard to want to take a break?" I've been working for hundreds of years. ”
