Li Jie had been to Kamateki many times. For an ordinary person to be able to come to this mysterious land so smoothly and repeatedly, this could be considered to be the first and only person to do so. This place had always been open to mages.
Using the token given by Ancient One, the Mage Ring, Li Jie once again came to Kamateki through the New York Cathedral. He had a lot of things to do in Kamateki this time.
The first was about the Illuminati. Tony said that if possible, it would be best to invite Ancient One to join the organization. However, Li Jie did not have high hopes for this matter, because he felt that Ancient One was unlikely to join such an organization. The gap between him and Ancient One was a little big, but since Tony had suggested it, Li Jie decided to give it a try.
Moreover, Tony was preparing to build a base on Venus, and he still needed the help of mages. If Ancient One did not help, it would be impossible to open a portal between Earth and Venus. In that case, the possibility of the Illuminati secretly building a stronghold on Venus would be very low, and the process would become very complicated.
The second was about the powerful Buddhist beings. Since Logen had asked, Li Jie felt that he should help him ask. There were no powerful Buddhist beings in this world that could help Logen purify his karma.
The third was about Li Jie's decision to cultivate in Kamateki. This matter also needed to be reported to Ancient One and see his reaction. Now, Li Jie could finally take the time to study.
In Kamateki, which was full of Tibetan-style architecture, Li Jie looked at the mages who were practicing spells or studying books in the square. He slowly walked toward Ancient One's residence.
"Huh? Ancient One went to London? "Li Jie got the news from Lan that Ancient One was temporarily not in London.
"Yes, why are you looking for a mage?" Lan was sitting on a step, reading a book carefully. It was written in Sanskrit that Li Jie could not understand at all.
Lan had given Li Jie some metaphysical books, which were written in clerical script and ancient English. Li Jie could understand them, but Sanskrit was too profound.
"Do you know anything about the powerful cultivators in the modern world and Buddhism? Lan. " Li Jie and Lan were already very familiar with each other, so he no longer added the title "Mage" behind Lan's name. Since Ancient One was not here, Li Jie decided to ask Lan about Logen first.
As the personal disciple of Ancient One, she should know quite a few big names in the mystical side. For example, she clearly knew Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who went to Hell last time.
Lan looked at Li Jie with a puzzled expression for a long time. "Haha!" Then, she suddenly laughed, and her loose robe trembled slightly along with her laughter. It looked like she was laughing so hard that her body was shaking.
Li Jie looked at Lan's delicate face and asked, a little embarrassed, "Did I say something wrong? Is there something on my face? Is it that funny? "
In front of a beautiful girl, Li Jie was very conscious of his image.
Lan touched her smooth face with one hand and looked at Li Jie with her eyes curved like crescent moons. "A powerful Buddhist? Isn't the person in front of me a powerful Buddhist? "
"Huh?" Li Jie turned around to make sure there were no outsiders. So Lan was talking about him? "Don't joke around, Lan. When did I become a powerful Buddhist?"
Li Jie was very sure that he was not fated to be a Buddhist. "I killed people, drank wine, and ate meat. I can't even memorize the Diamond Sutra. I don't even understand what Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Scripture is saying. So don't joke around. I'm asking something serious. "
Lan stroked her hair, which was a little messy because she laughed too loudly. Her long, jade-white fingers played with her silk-like black hair. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised at a very beautiful angle.
"I'm also serious, Master Nightcrawler." Li Jie felt that Lan's words carried a hint of ridicule.
"When I first saw you, I noticed that you were different." Lan extended her left index finger and pointed at Li Jie, then at herself.
"Do you still remember where we first met?" Lan raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Hand and Meeting. I was beaten like a dead dog by Kamibian Xiong." This was a really unbearable past. Li Jie felt that he must have been very embarrassed at the time. Ghost Rider, whom he couldn't defeat no matter how hard he tried, had been subdued by Lan with a simple move. Just thinking about it made him blush.
"Huh? Were you there? "Lan was deep in thought. She didn't seem to remember this. Maybe it was because Li Jie didn't leave much of an impression on her. She probably felt the same when she saw Li Jie.
"Huh?"
Lan grabbed her hair with one hand and gently scratched her chin with the end of her hair. She recalled, "I remember when I first met you, didn't you use a Buddhist palm strike to destroy a beast from hell?"
Li Jie was sure. It seemed that before he used the Vairocana Seal to kill the beast, he was really just a passerby in Lan's eyes. "Okay, that's not important, Lan." Li Jie waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to think about those details.
"Okay, that's really not important." Lan didn't want to think about those details. "Anyway, your palm left a deep impression on me. That kind of power was as vast as the sun. Although it was still very weak, I'm sure that it was a true Buddhist power. "
Li Jie didn't deny what Lan said. Li Jie thought back to the martial arts he had officially cultivated. Eight Wind-Breaking Blades, Eight Steps Overtaking Cicada, Indestructible Diamond Body, Ten Residences Mahayana, Vairocana Seal, Nine Purple Thunderstrikes.
Among these techniques, other than the basic Eight Wind-Breaking Blades and Eight Steps Overtaking Cicada, there was no need to mention the following four techniques, other than the Nine Purple Thunderstrikes. The remaining three techniques were all related to Buddhism.
Li Jie hadn't paid much attention to this before, but after Lan's reminder, he realized it.
"And as for whether you killed someone or not, it's actually not important." Lan shook her head. "Kill to protect. Kill not to kill people. What you did before might not actually be killing people. Without a thought, ten thousand tribulations will not arise. I'm not a Buddhist, so it's hard for me to explain too much to you. "
"Actually, do you know why Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva came out of hell to help us?" Lan suddenly asked.
"I don't know. Wasn't it for the peace and tranquility of hell? We and Dum were prepared to blow hell up to the sky! "Li Jie didn't quite understand the meaning behind Lan's question.
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is a Bodhisattva, not a demon!" Lan said meaningfully. "Do you know what Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's great wish was?"
"Hm?" Li Jie thought for a moment. "Vow not to become a Buddha until hell is empty?"
"Clap clap clap!" Lan clapped her hands to encourage Li Jie. "Congratulations on getting the answer right, Master!"
Lan looked at Li Jie with a smile and said, "So whether hell is finished or not really has a lot to do with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"
If what Lan said was true, then Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's great wish was to empty hell. Why would he care about this? He could just pretend he didn't see it. He wasn't a demon, and hell wasn't his home.
"So, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did it for you! Master Nightcrawler! "Lan emphasized the word" master ". The entire conversation between the two of them was conducted in Chinese. In Chinese, there were many meanings to the word 'master'.
"Huh?" Li Jie felt that he was getting more and more confused.
Lan looked at Li Jie's current appearance. He was originally a smart guy, but why was he so stupid? He could come up with so many crazy ideas and plans, and he even dared to plot against the Prince of Asgard. Why was he so stupid now? She couldn't help but say, "Because you're the last Buddhist cultivator!"
"Pfft!" Li Jie felt like he had received a critical hit. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did say that Buddhist cultivators were rare, but did this mean he was the last?
"Maybe Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva doesn't care about hell, but he has to see you. To see if you're safe! "Lan said softly, not caring how shocked Li Jie was.
"Buddhist cultivators are rare. This is not a joke. Wang has followed the master for hundreds of years. He once told me that hundreds of years ago, there were countless Buddhist cultivators fighting alongside Ancient One. "Lan's eyes were immersed in memory and thought.
"At that time, the Buddhas of the West also came to Kamateki to discuss with Ancient One. At that time, Ancient One also often went to the Holy Mountain of the West. "
Hearing this, Li Jie couldn't help but admire Ancient One's wide circle of friends. However, Lan's next words confused him even more.
"But gradually, the number of Buddhist cultivators decreased, and the Buddhas of the West who came to Kamateki also decreased. Until the Three Holy Temples were built, the Buddhas of the West never came to Kamateki again. " Lan was only 21 years old this year. She hadn't experienced that era, so she heard these things from Wang.
"Wang said that it was because of the construction of the super-stable space that it was not so convenient to travel. Also, the Buddhas liked peace, so they came less. After I came to Kamateki, I only saw Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. But I still feel like something is wrong. "Lan used the tip of her hair to gently scratch her face and said seriously.
"Because there were fewer and fewer Buddhist cultivators. Apart from you, the last Buddhist cultivator I saw died ten years ago. His soul should have gone to the Holy Mountain of the West, but it lingered in front of his body for 49 days. In the end, it turned into a handful of energy between heaven and earth. "
Lan shook her head. She seemed to realize that she had said too much. She didn't want to continue, so she changed the topic. "But it is also possible that people are not fated with Buddhism. Buddhist cultivators and magicians are the same. They both have a kind of destiny. If it is fated, it will directly divide people into two factions. Master Nightwalker, I think maybe you should be a person who is fated with Buddha. "
As she said this, Lan stood up from the stairs and gently pulled down Li Jie's hood. She used her hand to touch Li Jie's hair. "I think maybe a Bodhisattva will help you shave your head."
