After doing all this, the king returned to the stone house where Bucky was, and said to Bucky and Monk Wuhua, who were chatting, "Please come with me as well, the Ancient One Master wants to see the two." ”

Bucky and Wuhua followed the king to the Temple of the Ancients, and the Ancient One mage did not leave, but still floated cross-legged in the air.

Bucky looked at the Ancient One mage floating in mid-air, and found that he couldn't see any other features except for the old man, just like an ordinary old man. But how could ordinary people float in mid-air like the ancient one, Bucky felt a pang in his heart, and secretly said that this ancient one master was likely to have reached the realm of the unity of heaven and man in Chinese Taoism, and returned to the basics.

Monk Wuhua clasped his hands together, respectfully performed a Buddhist ritual to the ancient master, and said: "The younger generation of Wuhua has seen the supreme master, and the family master is aware that he had a relationship with the master three hundred years ago. ”

Ancient One Master recalled for a moment before revealing a hint of a smile and saying, "Juexiao, that little monk, when he sealed the passage back then, he also made a lot of efforts. ”

After saying that, the Ancient One Master turned his head to look at Bucky again, his eyes scanning back and forth on Bucky's body as if he were substance, and asked, "What is this little friend coming to Kama Taj for?" ”

Of course, Bucky would not hide the Ancient One's inquiry, and said, "Hello Ancient One, I'm Bucky Barnes from New York. I came here to find an opportunity to improve my spiritual power, and a person with prophetic powers once told me that there is a way to improve my mental power in this Himalaya, so I came here to try my luck. ”

"Humph! We naturally have a way to improve our mental power here, but how can we tell you about this outsider! Before the Ancient One Mage could speak, the swarthy man standing in front of him like a guard snorted coldly, and continued in a disdainful tone, "What's more, do you think that everyone can become a secret mage? According to my observations, you don't have the talent for this at all, and you can't learn the method of cultivating spiritual power if you tell you, so let's hurry down the mountain! ”

The swarthy man's tone was very aggressive, which made Bucky frown and feel slightly dissatisfied in his heart.

"Mordo, you're so rude!" The Ancient One mage rebuked the man named Mo Du, and then said to Bucky: "Cultivating our secret method lineage does require a good talent, this kind of talent is usually not one, I'm afraid that the spiritual power cultivation method of our secret method line is not suitable for you." And I can feel a power from the ancients, I have never seen such an ancient power, Mr. Barnes already has a good spiritual power to control this ancient power, it shouldn't be necessary for my secret method of cultivation method. ”

Hearing this, Mordo was also shocked, he thought that Bucky was just an ordinary person like Stephen, dreaming of superheroes, but he didn't expect that the ancient one mage would make such a high evaluation of Bucky.

"That's right, Ancient First Mage, I'm not here to get your cultivation methods." Regarding the cultivation method of spiritual power, Bucky had already obtained it from the fragments of the Stone of Self, so naturally he didn't need a cultivation method of the secret method, what Bucky wanted was to find an opportunity to greatly increase his spiritual power at one time. "Ancient One, I'm looking for an opportunity to improve my mental power, I wonder if I can stay here with Kama Taj for a while?"

"In that case, let's stay with Kama Taj for the time being."

The Ancient One Master readily agreed to Bucky's request, and then looked at Monk Wuhua, and said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Wuhua, you came here this time for the invasion of the dark world?" ”

"Yes, a monster appeared in Hong Kong a month ago, which is very similar to the dark monitor lizard that my master recorded back then, so the juniors will come to report this to you. It now seems that His Excellency the Supreme Mage has become aware of the invasion of the Dark World. ”

"Yes, that dark monitor lizard in Hong Kong is not the first dark creature to invade this world." The Ancient One Mage looked heavy, and then said: "Before that, there were two dark creatures in Europe, although they were wiped out by the king and Mordo in time, and they did not cause too much loss to ordinary people, but they aroused my alarm. ”

Mo Du, who was on the side, suddenly interjected: "Master, it's just a few dark creatures, as many as they appear, we will destroy as many as they appear!" What's more, haven't you already investigated, the seal between our world and the dark world is still intact, and it is impossible for Dormammu to ignore the seal and send those dark creatures under his command directly to Earth, so we don't need to worry about this. ”

Wuhua asked with some surprise, "Your Excellency Supreme Mage, have you already checked the seal?" ”

The Ancient One mage nodded and said, "I've been checking the seal in the passage these days, and the seal is intact, it stands to reason that Dormammu can't break through the seal, and I really can't guess how those dark creatures appeared on Earth." ”

The Dark World, the Dark Creature, the Dormammu, these things that Bucky had never heard of made him very curious, and asked, "Excuse me, what's going on in this Dark World?" ”

Mordo seemed to be very dissatisfied with Bucky's question, glaring at Bucky and just about to speak, but was interrupted by the words of the ancient mage: "The earth where we are located is connected to many worlds, including the dark world. It was a world full of evil desires, and Dormammu was the king and master of the dark world, he was good at dark magic, his strength was very terrifying, and he always wanted to occupy our earth. ”

"About three hundred years ago, Dormammu once led his army of dark monsters to break through the space and invade the earth, it was the master who stopped him, drove Dormammu back to the dark world, sealed the passage of Dormammu to the earth, and eliminated the dark monsters that Dormammu brought, it was the master who saved the world." Wang added on the side.

Bucky asked a little strangely, "Since the seal is intact and the previous dark creatures have been wiped out, how did these dark creatures that have appeared recently come to our world?" ”

Mo Du snorted coldly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you hear what my master said, he is also wondering about this matter, and the matter of our secret method when resisting the invasion of the dark world, I won't bother you as an outsider." ”

It's unclear why Mordo treats him so badly, but Bucky ignores the guy, arguing with him will only make him look rude. Looking at the Ancient One Mage, Bucky made another guess: "Could it be that Dormammu secretly opened up a spatial passage to Earth again, so that he sent his dark monsters to Earth." ”

"Ignorance!" Mordo glanced at Bucky disdainfully and said, "Do you know how much noise will be caused by opening a spatial passage, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand anything!" ”

Bucky's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Mordo, and was provoked by this guy again and again, although he didn't know the reason, but Bucky had already remembered him, and secretly decided in his heart that if there was a chance, he must make this guy named Mordo look good.

The Ancient One Master was also a little strange, although his disciple was usually a little short-tempered, but today's move to provoke a strange visitor for no reason was indeed beyond his expectations, and he coughed lightly twice, and the Ancient One Master came out to play a round and said: "Opening up a spatial passage will generally cause great turmoil in the natural world, more than three hundred years ago, Dormammu opened up the spatial passage in a small town in England, causing a huge tornado, almost completely destroying that town. Not only that, but when the spatial passage is successfully opened, a large amount of dark mana from the dark world will flow into our world, and this will not escape the perception of us arcane mages. ”

Bucky nodded, although he still suspected that Dormammu had an unknown spatial passage connecting the dark world to Earth, but he had no evidence, and saying it would only make that Mordo ridicule. However, in Bucky's opinion, the invasion of the dark world is not an opportunity for himself, and it is impossible to encounter an opportunity to improve his spiritual power by sitting in the house every day, and the opportunity that the monk Wunian said may be from the dark world.

Thinking of this, Bucky said to the Ancient One: "I am also a member of the earth, I will stay in Kama-Taj during this time, if there is another monster invasion of the dark world, please let the Ancient One inform me, I am also willing to contribute to the protection of the earth and the destruction of dark creatures." ”

Before the Ancient One Mage could speak, Mo Du sneered and said, "Resisting the dark world is not just a matter of words, be careful of losing your life!" Now these people are really arrogant, thinking that anyone can do the job of an arcane mage! ”

Bucky's face suddenly darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "Mo Du, since you doubt my strength, you might as well try it yourself to see if I have the strength to resist the invasion of the dark world." ”

"Hmph, as you wish, I'll be waiting for you in the martial arts field outside!"

After speaking, Mordo's lips moved slightly, and he whispered a spell, and then turned into a puff of gray smoke and disappeared into the main hall.

"This mystic mage is really magical, I don't know what the difference between this ability to disappear out of thin air is different from spatial teleportation." Looking at the gray smoke left behind by Mordo, Bucky immediately became a little wary of the arcane mage's ability, and when the gray smoke dissipated, Bucky bowed slightly to the ancient mage and said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency the ancient one, I made such a decision without your consent. ”

"It's nothing, it's that Mordo is too irritable, you don't have to take it to heart." The Ancient One mage smiled and continued, "And I'm also a little curious about the ancient power in your body!" ”

"Then please wait and see."

With that, Bucky walked towards the martial arts training ground outside the main hall. (To be continued.) )
