Chapter 6: The Mystic Mage

"Mr. Strange, welcome to Kama Taj."

A voice came from far to near, and it became clear from Chen Sheng's ears at a very fast speed.

It was as if someone was greeting him cordially.

There was a sudden blur in front of him, and Chen Sheng suddenly realized that he didn't know when he was in an antique spacious wooden house.

I saw that several neat rows of low-legged long tables were displayed in this room, and all kinds of copper, porcelain, and glass utensils of different shapes seemed to be regularly displayed in all corners of the room and on the long tables, and the overall architectural style was a bit of an ancient and modern mix, and he even smelled a trace of sandalwood slowly wafting in the surrounding air.

'What is this place?' ’

Chen Sheng felt that [what kind of place is this] was about to become his endorsement.

In one day and one night, he bizarrely crossed from the earth to a paradise island full of Amazon women, and was directly arrested and put in prison, not to mention, and now he suddenly came to this strange place.

Could this be the secret realm created by the Time Stone?

But everything in front of me looks very real.

β€œ... Oh? ”

Suddenly, a meaningful tone sounded, and Chen Sheng clearly saw that less than three feet in front of him, there was a man wearing a white robe with a bright oval on his head... Man?

Woman?

It's not that Chen Sheng's brain is broken, but the person in front of him is really in line with the concept of [neutral].

The person in front of him, less than one meter eight tall, looks slender, but has a wide skeleton, a woman-like face, but there is a touch of masculine edges and corners mixed in his facial features, and it looks like even his age is a little difficult to identify, he has his hands behind his back, his arms are hidden in a wide sleeve robe, and he looks at Chen Sheng with a smile, and his pair of brown and copper-colored big eyes seem to be full of insight-like wisdom light, and the breath is peaceful, but if you look closely, it gives people a terrifying feeling of a bottomless abyss.

"Interesting... You're not Strange, who are you? ”

The other party's question surprised Chen Sheng, Strange, who is that?

How do I answer the other person?

"I am..."

Chen Sheng was a little at a loss and speechless for a while, but the white-robed man circled around him twice with an interested expression.

As if seeing his confusion, the white-robed man suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and then a smooth mirror-like fragment suddenly condensed in the void in front of Chen Sheng.

Through these lenses, Chen Sheng was stunned to find that his appearance and dress had become a completely different person, a middle-aged Westerner with curly hair, sloppy body, and a haggard feeling.

"This, is this me?"

Chen Sheng opened his mouth, and the man also made the same movement of opening and closing his lips, he lowered his head in disbelief and looked at his hands again, only to find that these hands were covered with bandages, as if they had suffered some serious trauma.

"You're confused."

The white-robed man observed Chen Sheng, but gradually, she seemed to feel something.

"The power of the Rough Stone..."

"I see, in the multiverse... And so much... Magical thing. ”

The white-robed man seemed to sense something, but a solemnity appeared on his face, and then he was silent.

The other party was silent for two seconds, and then said.

"Your name... Old... Bear? Right. ”

"How do you know my name?!"

Chen Sheng looked at the mysterious white-robed man in surprise.

The other party smiled slightly and said.

"Don't panic, don't be too surprised, it's just a simple precognitive detection, not some too advanced arcane magic. But only to the extent that you know your real name. ”

The white-robed man's smile remained unchanged.

"My name is Ancient One. You can call me the Ancient One. ”

"I..."

Chen Sheng wanted to say something, but suddenly he subtly felt that the space around him seemed to start to vibrate slightly, although he didn't feel any physical vibration, this strange vibration still made him a little uncomfortable.

However, at this moment, the white-robed man who claimed to be the Ancient One Mage suddenly stomped his feet, as if a circle of invisible ripples vibrated out, causing the small space to tremble and stop immediately.

"What the hell is going on?"

Chen Sheng was really confused.

"Because you can't stay in this plane and dimension for long."

It was as if the Ancient One Mage had only done a trivial thing, and he still maintained his original smile and spoke.

"I can see that you have a lot of questions, maybe you can talk to me."

He added.

β€œ......”

Chen Sheng hesitated for a moment, looking at Gu Yi's kind expression, fortunately, he told his experience as if it were bitter water.

Anyway, he couldn't figure out the situation in front of him, and even Chen Sheng felt that he might be dreaming.

β€œ... I see. ”

After listening to Chen Sheng's story, Gu Yi lowered his head, his eyelids shrugged, and his face showed an expression that seemed to understand whether he understood or not, as if he was thinking.

β€œ... Isn't that a little too crazy when I'm talking about these things? ”

Chen Sheng looked at Gu Yi's appearance and couldn't help but show a wry smile.

"Yes. Who would believe such things as they sound like a fantasy..."

He muttered to himself.

Although the white-robed man in front of him looks very mysterious, even like a wizard who came out of Harry Potter... But Chen Sheng felt that maybe no one had experienced such a crazy thing except him, and it was estimated that even those so-called Avengers had not...

"Mr. Chen."

After a long period of silence, Gu Yi slowly raised his head and responded with a smile.

"You know, souls can't lie, so why wouldn't I want to believe you?"

"Do you really believe what I just said?"

Chen Sheng was a little stunned.

Seeing that Gu Yi did not respond to Chen Sheng directly, he stepped forward, still maintaining a gentle smile, staying at a distance of half an arm's length from Chen Sheng, and spoke.

"Mr. Chen Sheng, in the infinite multiverse, there are too many unknown things. You and I are just people who peek into the world through a hole. ”

"If you want to know the mysteries of the multiverse, if you want to know some of the secrets of the Infinity Primordial, perhaps, this can help you understand a little bit of what is happening to you."

She didn't wait for Chen Sheng to reply, and suddenly, she waved her sleeve robe and pressed her hand directly on the top of Chen Sheng's head.

"Open your eyes."

Chen Sheng's pupils froze, and as Gu Yi's hand pressed on the top of his head, he only felt that his consciousness suddenly shook, as if from under the Heavenly Spirit Cover, a torrent of consciousness as grand as the universe rushed out in an instant to engulf him.

It's like the whole person has been sublimated to some kind of subtle realm.

I saw that his pupils seemed to reflect countless galactic universes, as well as thousands of strange things, all of which turned into afterimages like superluminal speed, flickering and passing away rapidly.

It was like a fish swimming in a narrow stream, suddenly thrown high into the air, through the unpredictable clouds, in the terrible thunder and terrifying air currents, and finally an incomparably dazzling dawn shot down from the top of his head, revealing an incomparably moving gold, and then, he saw the endless sky, the starry sky, and also saw the real vast ocean.

.......

【Kama Taj Mystic: Soul Wandering】

Buzzβ€”β€”β€”β€”

And at this moment, the space around Chen Sheng and Gu Yi began to vibrate violently and violently.

It's just that Gu Yi didn't care, he repeated his old trick again, stomping on the soles of his feet, only this time, it seemed that a circle of golden mysterious ripples rippled from his body, forcibly freezing the entire space.

But the trembling of the space did not end there, as if there were two invisible forces wrestling in the dark, gradually expanding, and slowly, this pressure even rose to the point that even the space itself could not withstand it.

Everything within ten meters of Chen Sheng and Gu Yi was like a broken mirror, clicking, cracking.

At this moment, Chen Sheng came back to his senses, and all the strange lights in his pupils all subsided, and all disappeared together, as well as the confusion and confusion in his eyes.

He looked at the smiling Ancient One Master in front of him, as if he had a little more clarity and awakening.

"Now, do you know who you are in this multiverse?"

Gu Yi put his hands behind his back and looked at Chen Sheng in front of him with a smile.

And some of them said something brainlessly.

"I..."

Chen Sheng opened his mouth, he seemed to have realized something, but he felt as if these things he realized were just the tip of the iceberg in the universe, and he hesitated for a moment, but he didn't know how to organize the language to respond to the ancient one's question.

"Just now... What is that? ”

Chen Sheng looked at Gu Yi, his eyes were clear, and he couldn't help but feel that the person in front of him seemed to be becoming more and more mysterious.

"That's the apocalyptic ritual of our arcane mage, or you could call it Soul Wandering."

The Ancient One Master slowly lowered his hands behind his back and smiled.

He didn't care about Chen Sheng's answer.

"As I said earlier, there are so many things in the infinite multiverse that we have never known or seen. Therefore, the ancient sages created this soul ritual through their understanding of space, space, and dimensions. Through this ritual, one does not gain any power out of thin air, but it does give our souls a glimpse of the world as it really is. Of course, though it doesn't allow you to see the whole world. ”

"In the infinite dimension, the reality we know and the multiverse are connected, overlapping, and interdependent... Some of them are beautiful and vibrant... Some are evil, full of chaos and sin, others are full of ownerless and powerful energy, and some are even extremely dangerous... Indescribable..."

"Chen, you have a lot of potential, and you haven't lost yourself in the wandering of your soul."

β€œ... Thank you, Master Ancient One. ”

Chen Sheng's eyes changed, he took a deep breath, and he thanked the other party very solemnly.

Click!

The rift in the nearby space is getting denser. It's like a broken kaleidoscope, and it's like a transparent irregular cobweb.

"I have shown the secrets of magic and dimension to you as much as possible, and it is up to you how much you can comprehend."

"Now, it's time for you to leave."

Gu Yi smiled and shook his head.

"Ancient One, thank you for your help."

Chen Sheng thanked the other party very sincerely.

"You're welcome. Chen, since you have been selected by the original stone, maybe one day in the future, we will meet again. ”

Gu Yi said as if meaningful.

"Maybe by then, you'll be the one who will help us all."

Chen Sheng was stunned for a moment, a little unsure of what this Ancient One Master meant.

But before he could continue to ask, Chen Sheng found that everything in front of him suddenly began to change extremely blurry.

Chen Sheng had no choice but to ask as if shouting at the end

"May I ask the Ancient One, how do I return to my real world! Why did the Infinity Stones choose me? ”

The gentle voice of the ancient one also began to become equally illusory.

"Hehe... The boundaries between 'real' and 'false' are subtle and blurred. Chen, who can really determine and define what is true and what is false in this vast and infinite multiverse? ”

"Follow your heart. As for why the rough stone chose you, I'm sure it won't be long before you will... Found it... In your heart... Answer..."

The more he talked about it, the more distant and even intermittent the voice of the ancient one became.

Boom β€”β€”!

Eventually, all the space shattered and turned into darkness, and it seemed as if only a moment had passed, and the light reflected all matter again.

A faint scent of sandalwood wafted in the spacious wooden house full of classical atmosphere, and the ancient one still stood in place, looking fixedly at the middle-aged man with sloppy hair and a haggard face in front of him.

"Hello, Mr. Strange."

Gu Yi smiled gently, and gracefully handed the other party a cup of steaming fragrant tea.

"Thank you... Thank you for meeting me... The Ancient One..."

The middle-aged man's trembling hand took the tea, he looked at the ancient one in front of him, his voice was hoarse, and there was a lingering frustration and tiredness hidden in his low tone.

"You're welcome. Now, Mr. Strange, we can have a good talk. ”

The white robe was fluttering, and the temperament of Gu Yi responded softly, and there was still that kind and peaceful smile on his cheeks.
