Chapter 260
The higher the altitude, the thinner the air, the colder the air, and the worse the climate.
For ordinary persons, when crossing the Himalayas and entering places above 6000 meters above sea level, they need to wear professional mountaineering equipment, among which is included oxygen cylinders, etc., without these things, There is no way for human physical quality to conquer the highest peak of the world.
But for some people, this is not so difficult. In fact, they still find it easy.
"hmph hmph hmph hum"
Cyber, wearing a long black windbreaker, carrying a wooden box and a cigar in his mouth, wandered through a white mountain. He also hummed weird songs, stopped and stopped all the way, and occasionally caught some small animals living in this place to relieve his greed.
The night before yesterday, the SWORD VSLeague of Shadows drama came to an end 15 minutes after the opening. The seventh action group led by Mr. Quan lost his companions, so they started very ruthless to the extreme, almost crushing dry all the way. With the advance of weeds and smashing rotten wood, the warriors of League of Shadows may face the ordinary person and the Death God that cannot be confronted, but when facing these real evil stars, they are no different from the ordinary person.
But Cyber has noticed some weird things.
"Speaking of which, how can the League of Shadows not even have one to play?"
Cyber said to himself snorted, "It must have been transferred early. They only destroyed an empty shell...tch tch, they lost more than 500 people at one time, great generosity."
He looked around all around, it was all white. The location is already the deepest part of Snow Mountain, but the meaning of Ancient One is definitely not to let him climb all the way to the top of this mountain. Kamar-Taj is also impossible on the top of the mountain, so he must find it.
But how difficult is it to find a hidden place in a place you are not familiar with?
He has been here within the valley for 2 days, but he hasn't seen anything.
"Well, it seems that some unconventional means have to be used!"
He threw away the cigarette butt, drew a dagger from his boot, and threw it into the sky indiscriminately. When I came down, the blade of the dagger pointed in a direction, "Well...very good, just go over there."
Cyber continued to move forward, except for the sound of hu hu along the way, there was no other sound. His footprints were covered by non-stop snowflakes in less than 2 minutes, as if no one had ever been here.
Just as Cyber was wandering around in the mountains, Strange's was actually the same.
This poor surgeon was also trekking in the cold snow with his own package on his back, but he was much happier than Cyber. Mordo gave him a map, at least one The way forward.
Strange does not have the perverted physical quality of Cyber. He wears almost all the warm clothes on his body. In the howling wind and snow, it is difficult, moving towards the densest wind and snow step by step. Place to move forward.
"Soul...soul, there is really, unbelievable."
The face of the former surgeon is a bit awful. The separation of the ordinary person’s soul means death. With the "help" of Ancient One, Strange also experienced the feeling after death. When the soul was floating in the air, he could feel everything around him, the changes in everything, and the details that he would never notice. .
Of course, the experience of being sucked into the passage of Soul World is definitely not friendly.
It was probably the arrangement of the Ancient One mage. In short, Strange's soul traveled in at least 7 different dimensions within 10 minutes. In addition to the Endless Starry Sky of the material world, he also went With the colorful dimension of origin, a dead zone of silence and despair, the nine kingdoms shining with rays of light and glory, the endless hell full of flames and torture, and the heaven mountain surrounded by warm holy light.
It is no exaggeration to say that the 10-minute experience is already something that 99% of ordinary persons cannot see before or after death. From this point of view, Strange does have an innate talent. One of the few people, at least his soul is tenacious enough to withstand the pain of being out of the body.
Strange's mind is now in chaos. This is normal. He is going through the process of reconstruction after the Three Views. He is a little weaker and understandable. What he is now reverberating in his mind is what Ancient One said after his soul returned. Those words.
"The material world is only the most basic of real existence. All your cognition is based on a superficial understanding of the material world. What is truth? What is real existence? All of these require you. Slowly explore, and the basis of all this is that you first understand the existence of Soul Power..."
The surgeon couldn’t help but stretch out his hand and look at his trembling hands, wrapped in cloth strips to ensure It will not be frostbitten. The obscurity of a slight movement reminds him that his hands are seriously injured. Before he pursues Kamar-Taj, he has tried almost all the mature and immature treatments in the world, but It's useless.
In fact, in addition to Kamar-Taj, Strange has another option. It is a mysterious invitation from a more mysterious organization. They claim that they can use cell regeneration technology to treat Strange's. Hands, the condition is that Strange must serve them until the end of their lives.
From that strong confidence, Strange felt their confidence, but the inner voice was telling him that those people are untrustworthy, the organization that calls itself AIM is untrustworthy! even more how to give up the freedom of oneself, this is simply intolerable for people like Strange.
So he finally came here, looking for the location of Kamar-Taj, even if he prefers to use technology instead of mysticism.
"You must believe in the existence of Soul Power before you can heal yourself, Strange, when you believe in the existence of the soul, Kamar-Taj will open the door for you."
Ancient One mage told him this. After that unimaginable and wonderful journey, Strange had to believe all this. He lifts the head and took a deep breath. He remembered his past self, that The person who quarters the ego, the person who will not bow his head to any power in this world.
It looks like a silhouette of a previous life.
"You have to be afraid of true power...awe, does that mean, right?"
Strange muttered to himself in the wind and snow, he knelt down On the ground, with both hands in the cold snowflakes, for the first time in my life, I prayed with all my body and mind, but not to a certain Spiritual God, but a kind of kneeling suit for the power of higher existence.
Only when you lose your original self can you get a new start...Ancient One never needs a mortal to kneel and worship her. All she needs is Strange's awe of the soul itself, because of this person, and ordinary The person is different. The line of fate on him is too complicated, so complicated that Ancient One itself sighs.
At the moment Strange's forehead touched the cold ground, a phantom that looked like rays of light opened in the snow in front of him. He lifts the head and saw the hidden group The road in the mountain winds upwards and finally leads to the city on the top of the mountain.
A real city, lying on the top of the world, straddling tens of thousands of abysses, the starting and ending point of world magic and witchcraft power.
That is Kamar-Taj, hidden in the land of the Holy Spirit in this world.
On the other side, Cyber sits blankly in the middle of the snow. In the snow-white ground, this black silhouette is so conspicuous that people will not forget it at first glance. The wooden box is placed At hand, he sat there cross-legged, letting snowflakes slap on his shoulders, on the top of his head, on his body.
People like him don’t bother to bow down to certain existences, even if they are the strongest person in the world, this does not conflict with survival, but the bottom line of their hearts cannot be exceeded. Like a cow.
Cyber is thinking about a very important issue at this time.
How on earth should Kamar-Taj go?
He repeatedly recalled the scene of his first meeting with Ancient One, and he could feel that in that conversation, Ancient One had already told him the trick.
"Use your eyes well?"
Cyber reached out and touched his eyes, he took a deep breath, the dark red eyes and the ring of flame in the eyes lit up The world in front of him is separated in his eyes, clearer and brighter, and even the shape of each snowflake can be seen in his eyes... But other than that, it is exactly the same as the scene that has been used many times before. ,nothing left.
There is no way to Kamar-Taj, there are no phantoms that are expected, and there is no beacon across the sky, nothing!
"Fuck!"
Cyber fiercely hit the ground with a punch, smashing the hard frozen soil out of a pit, he grabbed the wooden box, and planned to grab something He came to fill his stomach, but at the moment he turned, a phantom drifted past his eyes, causing his body to stop in place. He slowly turned his head, and there was nothing in the snowflakes behind him... No, it's not empty.
Cyber's pupils in both eyes are rapidly turning, expanding and shrinking constantly, just like a camera lens, trying to capture something. After trying for 5 minutes, the scenery in front of you becomes blurred, but it is really Let him see clearly the existence of those air mixed in snowflakes.
There are things there, one after another phantoms floating on the ground forward. Their bodies are transparent, like jellyfish floating in the air. If they don’t pay attention, they will be missed. The speed of floating in the air is extremely fast, and the grandiose floats to the deeper snowfield.
"That's...that's the soul! It looks like the League of Shadows batch!"
Cyber's blinked, restored to its original shape, and had A smile,
"Is that so? Putting it that way, as long as I can grasp the direction of the soul, I can finally find Kamar-Taj? It's that simple?"
No one answered him, Cyber shrugged, put the wooden box behind his back, held the last cigarette in his mouth, and lit a flame, "Fur...haha, it seems that simple!"
He happily followed the direction of his soul and moved towards the depths of the snowy field. Cyber is not an ordinary person like Strange, he is part of this world mysterious power, so Ancient One doesn’t need to take him to get to know him. The truth of this world, she only needs to guide Cyber to better use her own power.
Cyber Hawk, Stephen Strange, these are two completely different people, representing two completely different choices and paths, manipulation and learning. Kamar-Taj has never been a place of pure healing, it It is also a symbol of the awe or fear of all people in the world who are exposed to magic.
On the edge of the valley in the land of Holy Spirit, where nothing exists but everywhere, it is a stone bridge that spans the endless abyss below, standing on both sides of the abyss in a magical posture, It is like the only one way to enter the mysterious world from the present, and at the end of the bridge, it is a heavy Redwood gate, 5 meters high, just like the city gate of a real castle in the Middle Ancient era.
Cyber strode across the rotating icy fog and saw the steep bridge, and before the gate, a person who had been almost frozen was lying on the ground, breathing hard, hard He wanted to knock on the door knocker, but he was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to stand up. That was Strange.
Crossing over snowfields and icebergs that are deadly for an ordinary person, his eyebrows, breath and face are covered with heavy frost. This is the one that has also crossed the obstacles of the world and the illusion. The ordinary person who really stepped into this world, he was only one step away from the final answer.
Cyber glanced at him, reached out to hold the door knocker, grabbed Strange's clothes with the other hand, and lifted him from the ground. The latter glanced at Cyber gratefully, struggling Put his left hand on the knocker.
"peng"
The door was knocked, like a low bell, and after a while it spread across the sky and the earth, the door was opened, and a man dressed in black was practicing. With a chic gem pendant, the fatty, who was full of flesh but looked unusually peaceful, opened the door. He glanced at Cyber and Strange and stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture.
"Welcome to...Kamar-Taj!"
