When the two separated, they agreed that after this battle, they would have a good exchange in the field of magic. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Finally, the old mage hesitated for a moment, and said, "Maybe I'm talking too much - I see you, Master Strange, in this battle, it seems that the situation is not going well - there is always a shadow hanging over you, and I sincerely hope that you will pay attention to it." ”

After a pause, the old mage said again: "If possible, you should do some communication with the three supreme gods of Emperor Weishan..."

When Strange heard this, his spirits, which had been slightly uplifted, suddenly withered, and a weak wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I know what Master Merlin said. But... After I was injured, I communicated with the Trinity Supreme God, but..."

He shook his head and sighed: "It can only be suppressed, not eradicated." ”

"The only way to get back to good is to start with the old devil - perhaps, kill him, and I'll be safe. ”

"So, you know, there's no way I'm going to get out of this. ”

The old mage was silent.

He remembered that he planned to use the power of the rules to fundamentally erase the cause of this matter, but in the end it failed-even the Trinity Supreme Fa God of Emperor Weishan was helpless against this power?

"The big war is just around the corner. The Supreme Mage took a deep breath: "I foresee my future, and I see a ninety percent probability of death. We can't hold everything in our hands as much as we used to. ”

Speaking of this, he laughed at himself: "Even my own fate is in my hands." ”

He turned, "I need to suppress the injury - hopefully our promise will be fulfilled in time." ”

Old Mage Merlin watched Strange stagger away, sighed, shook his head, and then turned away as well.

After parting ways with the old mage Merlin, Strange seemed to be depressed, walking alone in a corner, as if to isolate himself from the world.

Suddenly, Banner's voice reached his ears.

"Mage Strange. ”

Strange turned around and saw Banner coming over.

"It looks like you're feeling down. Banner said, "On the eve of the war, this is not good. ”

Strange nodded and said, "What about you?"

"Perhaps. Banner smiled, "Maybe it's because of a backer?"

"Backer..."The corners of Strange's mouth curled reluctantly: "In this world, who relies on whom?"

He turned and crouched down, his eyes unfocused: "I foresaw my end - maybe you don't know, I also have a backer." But this time, it can't be trusted. ”

"Oh?"

Banner was interested, and squatted down side by side with him, curious, "Can you tell me about it?" ”

"Why not?" Strange smiled reluctantly, "At this point, there's nothing that can't be said. ”

He then revealed some secrets to Banner: "I am a magician, but Mr. Banner, do you know the origin of magicians?"

Banner pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked, "An ancient sorcerer, shaman, or monk?"

Strange laughed, out of breath with a smile that left Banner confused and inexplicable.

After laughing for a long time, Strange smiled with a strange flush on his face before he said, "It's from the three supreme gods." ”

"Supreme Dharma God?!"

Banner's eyes widened: "Law God?!"

"Yes, Dharma God. Strange exhaled, "Ohhit, Hogoth, Agomoto." Triune Supreme God. ”

"They are the oldest magicians, the origins of white magic," he said. The vast majority of my power springs come from the three supreme Dharma gods. They are my backers. I don't think it will be worse than your master. ”

Banner was silent for a moment: "If it's a god..."

Strange ignored Banner and continued, "I'm hurt, you know, I summoned the power of the gods, I communicated with them, but I couldn't be healed. And I foresaw my end -- the war, for me, was a dead knot with a mortality rate of more than 90 percent. They can't bless me anymore. ”

"Actually, I know very well. He seemed to say to himself: "For them, I, the supreme mage of the earth, am a spokesperson if I speak well, and I am a puppet if I don't speak well." Insignificant. I've always studied magic, and even used the power of some evil gods to try to get rid of and transcend this control, but..."

"Can't do it, can it?"

Banner couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, it can't be done. Strange shook his head: "Perhaps, we are all puppets of some people, or puppets of thugs, pulling strings." The Trinity of the Emperor of Weishan, for me, is so. I think your master, or Taiyi, is the same for you. ”

"No, you're wrong. ”

Banner immediately flatly denied it: "Mr. Mage, you don't understand the Taiyi Sect, you don't understand us, you don't know our cultivation system. Our strength is not given by anyone, but by our own asceticism. Master didn't treat us as puppets or thugs, and I know that very well. ”

"Really?" Strange said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "In that case, why didn't he come in person this time, but sent you here? Doesn't he know that in the face of the Red Gang Tai Yuanyuan Demon Venerable, you are more than lucky? He doesn't care about your life or death at all, Banner, each of us, must live for ourselves - we are free." When I understood the sentence, you see, it was too late. ”

"If I don't become a magician and don't be the spokesperson of the three supreme gods of Emperor Weishan, I will live an ordinary life and live a peaceful and stable life. And now I can see with my own eyes my death, how frustrating and painful it is, you know?"

"Death is nearing, Banner, you can't comprehend my pain. ”

Banner was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said, "I still don't agree with your statement. I don't think this should be the idea of a magician known for his sanity. In this world, whether it is ordinary people or extraordinary people, if you want to get it, you have to pay. ”

"If an ordinary person wants to live a good life, he needs to study hard and work hard. The transcendent gain power, and there is also a price. Or like you, become a puppet in your mouth, a marionette. Or like me, practice diligently and put your life into it. It's a matter of choice. Choosing to be an ordinary person, living a dull life and being bound by all kinds of constraints. If you choose to become a transcendent being, you have to become the spokesperson of a certain being or a certain power, or work hard to cultivate, and devote most of your time to it. However, by choosing to be an ordinary person, the opportunity is absolute. And choosing to be transcendent is a rare opportunity. ”

He looked at the mage in front of him: "After all, your choice to become a magician was your own decision, and everything you have now comes from your own choice. And now, you're complaining. Why don't you want to think about why you chose to become a mage in the first place?"

He scoffed, "This is the price you have to pay to gain strength and free yourself from many constraints." In fact, ordinary people are also puppets, marionettes. Those upper-class people and officials are manipulating the fate of ordinary people all the time. ”

When he said this, he stood up: "My master said that freedom is relative. Unless you transcend this multiverse, you can break free from all constraints. And this is also the ultimate goal of our Immortal Dao cultivation. The path of immortality is the point of no return, there is no chance of turning back, this is the price of gaining strength, and gaining the opportunity to transcend all constraints. I gladly accepted. ”

"It's a pleasure to see different landscapes and experience things that other people can't even imagine. Banner laughed: "As for death, who can say that he is immortal unless he is truly detached?

"Hehe..."

Supreme Mage Strange laughed, in a strange way, so that Banner couldn't see the meaning of the smile.

But he listened to the mage, "I know you, Bruce Banner. You have power that you can't control, you hate it because of it, the military hunts you down, keeps you from being safe for a moment, keeps you on the run, and makes you unable to even make out with your women. At one point, you longed to destroy him. But now, you go and tell me, it's a 'different landscape'!? So, you can tell me, what is it that makes your thoughts have a reversal? Is it your backer, you are the master? Because of him, the military is no longer hunting you down, because of him, you can meet your girlfriend at any time, because of him, you see the feasibility of being able to make out with your girlfriend? Because of him, you can be in peace?!"

Banner disagreed: "Of course. He replied earnestly: "Because this is what I want, I need them, so I am converted." I got what I wanted, and I have no regrets, so I am grateful to my Master and to Him for guiding me on a path beyond my imagination. I'm not like you, as a member of the sect, I have a sense of belonging, because only in the sect can there be peace and peace in my heart. I am willing to give what I can for the sect. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said with a smile: "Perhaps, among the nine senior brothers, only a few two or three people are like me. The second senior brother Tianyang Peter, the seventh senior sister Tianxuan Cindy, and perhaps an eighth senior brother Tiandu Logan. Of course, he may be worse. My second senior brother is the second disciple accepted by Master, but in fact we all know that he is the closest to Master, and even his relatives, Ben and Mei, are all working in the sect. Senior Sister Cindy likes to cultivate from the bottom of her heart, and perhaps she is most happy with the environment of the sect. And Senior Brother Logan is a rootless Ping, but the sect gave him a root. It's just that because he wanted to recover his lost things, he left the sect early. I think that when he finds what he lost, he will come back and make the sect his true home. ”

"As for the other senior brothers and sisters, or from a monopoly family, or a secret agent, superheroes, etc., the situation is fundamentally different, they have their own belongings, and they may not be 100% loyal to the sect. But I think Master knows. ”

"Perhaps..."he hesitated, "The more I know about my sect, the more I feel that such an existence is incredible. Every time we cultivate, every time we break through a realm, it is a sublimation of the essence of life, and our lifespan will become longer and longer. Maybe in ten or fifty years, other brothers and sisters still have a lot of concern for their original identity, the outside world's industry, and their relatives. But what about 500 years, 1,000 years from now? They will only belong to the sect. Because the relatives who can't cultivate will pass away and be forgotten, and those who can cultivate will definitely join the sect. And the industry, the identity of the rich, the superhero, maybe at that time, will be nothing. ”
