Leo looked at the phone number and found that the caller ID was a local mobile phone number in Kathmandu, and he had a vague guess in his mind.
Sure enough, after he answered the phone, Otto's voice came out:
"Mr. Erwin, the Ancient One has just returned. I asked in advance and the Ancient One agreed to see you. You can come to Kama Taj early tomorrow morning and I will take you to see her."
Leo thanked him, said a few more polite words, and then hung up the phone.
Venerable Ancient One is back. It seems that she didn't avoid Leo on purpose.
Leo's most worried situation did not happen, so he felt slightly relieved and continued to work hard to refine his mechanical power.
The next day, at ten o'clock in the morning, Leo came to Kama Taj and met Otto.
Peter and Mary Jane were completely relieved after seeing Otto and confirming that Otto was fine.
Peter, who has a strong sense of responsibility, expressed his desire to return to the company as soon as possible last night, and rejected Otto's attempts to stay and Leo's persuasion, and took his wife to catch a flight back to New York this morning.
Of course, Peter and Otto have agreed that he will take his wife to Nepal during his future vacations.
And Otto also said that he would find time to go to New York to see Peter in the future.
At this time, in Kama Taj, Leo followed Otto and shuttled through the courtyard.
Kama Taj is indeed very big. Just counting the distance Leo just walked, it was already more than 500 meters.
These Marvel mages are really a group of incredible real estate tycoons.
After twists and turns, Otto led Leo to a dome house and signaled Leo to stop.
Otto stepped forward and knocked on the door, and an indistinguishable voice came from inside the house: "Please come in."
Otto turned his head and glanced at Leo. Leo nodded. Otto opened the door and the two of them walked into the house.
The house is an old house mainly made of wood. Sunlight shines in through the porous windows, making the interior appear spacious and bright.
There were no chairs in the room, only a few futons. The bald Ancient Master, wearing a gray and white robe, sat cross-legged on a futon, meditating with his eyes closed.
Just when Leo was hesitating whether it was appropriate to interrupt at this time, Gu Yi slowly opened his eyes and pointed at the futon in front of him with one hand:
"Mr. Erwin, please sit down."
When Leo read novels and learned to cultivate immortality in his previous life, he often meditated quietly by himself, so he was no stranger to sitting cross-legged.
At this time, he sat up naturally and found a quite comfortable position.
Otto did not sit down, because Master Gu Yi waved his hand to him, and Otto immediately left respectfully, not forgetting to close the door when he left.
Seeing that he and Gu Yi were the only two people left in the room, Leo took the initiative and said:
"Venerable Ancient One, I..."
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Yi:
"Mr. Erwin, Master Octavius has already told me about you. It's just a curse, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Just stay quiet and sit tight, and I'll take a look at it for you."
After speaking, Gu Yi put on a convincing smile on his face, his eyes flashed, and he looked solemnly towards Leo.
The next moment, Leo felt a strange force penetrate into his body. After the strange force wandered away for a moment, it suddenly rushed into his brain and disappeared.
It was said that it disappeared because Leo could no longer feel this power in his body, but the strange power did not disappear, but penetrated towards Leo's soul.
Suddenly, Leo had a strange feeling, which was exactly the same as when he was in Wakanda when Lilith used soul data to transmit the heart-shaped herb cultivation information to him.
So naturally, this strange force that wanted to penetrate into Leo's soul was also blocked by Leo's physical protective force.
The strange force felt the resistance generated by the mechanical force and paused suddenly. Then the force did not regain its strength, but dissipated.
At the same time, Gu Yi's slightly surprised voice sounded in Leo's ears:
"Mr. Erwin, I checked it in detail and found that this curse is not on your body, so it can only be on your soul.
But you need to take the initiative to dissipate the magical power that protects your soul body, so that I can explore your soul in detail."
Leo didn't close his eyes, and his consciousness remained awake, so he could see the surprise on Gu Yi's face, and it didn't look like he was faking it.
Moreover, whether it was from Ancient Yi's expression or eyes, or the active dissipation of power just now, Leo did not sense Ancient Yi's malice.
But despite this, Leo was unwilling or did not dare to dissipate his body-protecting mechanical power and let Ancient One check his soul.
So Leo asked in embarrassment:
"Venerable Ancient One, is there any other alternative?"
Ancient Yi heard the meaning of Leo's words and understood that Leo was very wary and did not want to let himself explore his soul.
However, she was not annoyed and said:
"There is an alternative, that is, I use magic to force your spirit body out of the body, so that I can use my magic eyes to look at your spirit body from the outside in and determine the location and type of the curse, without
You need to use mana to invade your spirit body detection.
However, this method of observation has a disadvantage, that is, I may not be able to detect some extremely clever curses, or may misdiagnose them."
Leo immediately understood the difference between the two methods mentioned by Gu Yi. This is like Western medicine using ultrasound or nuclear magnetic resonance to detect the diseases in the human body at a glance, while Chinese medicine uses the technique of observation, hearing, inquiry and diagnosis, so it can only be inferred based on experience.
Which one is stronger and which one is worse is clear at a glance if you look at the diagnostic methods popular in hospitals today.
But even so, Leo was not willing to let Ancient One explore his spirit body, so he decisively chose the second method.
Even if it’s a misdiagnosis, then let’s misdiagnose it!
Anyway, this curse has been hanging for almost two years, and it has not brought any actual harm. It would be best if Ancient Yi solved it, and Leo didn't care if he couldn't solve it.
After seeing Leo make his choice, Gu nodded, rubbed a magic circle different from Otto's with his hands, came out, and pushed Leo through the air.
Suddenly, all of Leo's senses were in a trance. When he regained his sight, in front of him, besides Gu Yi, there was another person sitting with his head bowed.
Although he only saw his back, Leo could tell that the man was a handsome guy, especially the familiar and appropriate combination of clothes, which made Leo understand that the man sitting with his head bowed was his physical body.
Leo lowered his head slightly, and saw that his feet had lifted off the ground, floating in the sky, and his whole body was relaxed, feeling the breath of freedom.
He is in a spiritual state now!
However, since Ancient One did not have Lilith's virtual reality technology that could make things look real, Leo saw more differences in his spiritual body.
If you want to see the difference, you need to compare.
At this time, Leo's comparison object was Strange's spirit body in the "Doctor Strange" movie in his memory.
Although it was so long ago that Leo couldn't remember the details of the spirit in the movie, he could at least confirm that there was absolutely no flickering golden light on Strange's body.
This golden light is the visual manifestation of mechanical power. Although it is invisible to the naked eye, it can be seen clearly under the soul body.
As Leo breathed and inhaled, his soul memory subconsciously mobilized the mechanical power, so his spiritual body also flickered in light and dark.
Golden light spread all over his body, making Leo look very sacred, like a god.
