Chapter 129 Shocking News

King David of Haibian took Li Jie to the gate of a courtyard and told him that all his questions could be answered here.

Rarely seen in New York City, this kind of courtyard is very oriental, with gravel pavement and Japanese sliding paper doors.

Including the cherry trees in the courtyard, it is not something you can see everywhere in New York.

"My master, I've been looking for you." David was leading the way for Li Jie.

"Your master?" Li Jie asked curiously.

"Yes, after seeing you that day, I met the master on the way home." David said excitedly. "He said he could teach me to be a superhero!"

"Huh?" Li Jie was a little surprised.

"Don't believe it, my master is called Gunsou, and he is a very powerful person." King Haibian looked at Li Jie and seemed a little disbelieving, so he said.

In a quaint and indoor place, Li Jie met the old man David called his master, who looked quite old.

But he was very energetic, wearing sunglasses and the blind cane beside him reminded Li Jie that the old man was blind.

But this will not make Li Jie have any contempt.

The old man just knelt and sat there, but like an ancient pine, he had a tough and strong feeling.

It seems that the pine trees that I saw on the cliffs of Huangshan Mountain in my previous life grew among the cliffs, and they were still tenacious and unyielding under the baptism of mountain wind, rain and snow.

"Welcome, Nightcrawler, please sit down." When David pushed open the sliding door, the old man knew who was coming.

Sometimes blind people can see more than sharp-eyed people.

Out of basic courtesy to the old man, and from the perspective of the furnishings, the old man should be deeply baptized by the oriental culture, Li Jie bowed slightly to show courtesy.

The stick man, who was clearly invisible, sat up straight and bowed in return.

"Hello old gentleman." Li Jie sat cross-legged on the tatami at the side of the old man's gesture.

"According to what David said, you know a lot about Shouhehui. Do you know what the grass snake and Heikong are?" Li Jie's question was a little urgent.

"Your heart is not at peace, Nightcrawler. I can tell that you are very anxious." The old man didn't answer Li Jie's question in a hurry. "This mood is not conducive to our conversation."

"Do you like tea?" the old man asked. "I asked David to bring some tea."

"It's alright, but I don't like Japanese matcha very much." Li Jie glanced at the Japanese-style house and said,

"I'll let David bring some Chinese-style green tea," said the old man after nodding his head. "David, go get some tea and let Matt come too."

David complied and left here, serving tea and calling a man named Matt as the old man asked.

The old man sat there quietly, without making any sound, the whole courtyard was very quiet, as if to isolate the hustle and bustle of New York.

There is only the murmur of the water in the courtyard and the rustling of the night wind blowing through the leaves.

This kind of quietness made Li Jie a little restless, because these days his heart has not been calm, but he was extremely irritable, which made him feel that he was out of tune with this place.

"What are you irritating about?" The old man seemed to be able to feel Li Jie's irritability.

"A lot of things, unknown monsters, ninjas in New York City, friends' strange diseases, and all kinds of messy things." Li Jie was really annoyed.

"You are a cultivator." The old man said thoughtlessly.

"What?" Li Jie didn't react for a while.

"You are a practitioner, I can feel it. Because I am also a practitioner." The old man said softly.

"Cultivators practice by comprehending the source of power in this world, and in this way they can break through the limits of the human body and explore the mysteries of life and power."

"It's a pity, however, that when I was young, I was competitive and impatient at the same time. Because I have no vision, I hope to have powers that normal people don't have."

"I went astray and lost this power for a time. Even now I dare not teach my disciples any secrets of true spiritual practice. I am afraid that they will be like me back then."

"You are in the same situation as I was back then. Your mood is unstable and you don't have enough will. You are easily affected by foreign objects."

"You fought the dark underground in New York City all day long, and you killed a lot of people, and even a lot of non-human creatures."

"All of this eats away at your heart and you don't see it."

"Power is not eternal, it changes with you, they can be violent, they can be gentle, but your mind can't control it, then you will become a slave of power."

The old man's words caused Li Jieru to be struck by lightning. He never thought about these issues, but his heart was restless, and he even angered others.

These things were not his character at all before. Even if he really took anger at people in the past, he would keep it in his heart, and would not express it simply and rudely with verbal violence.

Is he getting angry more and more easily now? Li Jie asked himself yes.

As he had felt before, the system only gave power and how to use it, but never taught any principles.

It doesn't even point out whether the exercises have any effect on people, and is all this really good? For the first time, Li Jie had doubts in his heart.

"Master, tea is here." When David came to this room again, he was holding a tray with a tea set in it.

As for the person following him, Li Jie felt inexplicably familiar, with a dark red leather jacket and two slightly protruding devil horns on the mask.

This man named Matt himself seems to have seen it somewhere. It was not until David brought the tea in front of him that he suddenly remembered who it was.

It seems that I have seen this person's movies in my previous life. If I remember correctly, his name is Daredevil or Daredevil, and he is also known as the fearless man.

A respected lawyer by day, a law enforcer in the dark by night. No mercy, no mercy for criminals.

It is a guy comparable to the Punisher, or even more fierce than the Punisher.

"Master." The Daredevil who came here bowed slightly to the old man, and then sat down on the old man's position in a kneeling manner.

And David, the King of Kickstarters, sits at the end. It turns out that this old man is Daredevil's master! This Haibian Wangcheng is actually Daredevil's junior brother.

The world is in a mess, Li Jie had to drink hot tea immediately to suppress his shock.

The heat of green tea permeates the mouth of the thick porcelain cup, and the light tea fragrance and golden brown color complement each other. The entrance is slightly bitter, but taking a deep breath is slightly sweet.

The warm tea warmed Li Jie's heart and lungs along with the throat and esophagus. In an instant, Li Jie felt that his originally agitated mood was calmed down.

"This is a specialty of the Pure Society." Gusou said as if he knew Li Jie's surprise.

"I think in your current state we can have a good conversation with Nightcrawler."

"Yes, I feel better now." Li Jie said with a deep breath.

"Shouhehui was born in Toyo more than 800 years ago. They were originally just farmers who formed a self-protection alliance during the turbulent era and some samurai who lost their identities." The old man took a sip of tea and began to say.

"After a lot of turmoil in Toyo, these samurai began to train farmers to learn some fighting skills."

"In the Warring States period of Toyo, a monarch appeared in Toyo, and he devoted himself to unifying the chaotic Toyo."

"He kills anyone who doesn't obey his rule, whether it's a monk or a ninja."

"The castle of the Koga ninja in the East was breached by him, and the ninjas fled everywhere. The hand and the society took in some of the ninjas."

"These ninjas have brought more secret techniques, which are the secrets of Koga. Everyone is very happy, this gives everyone the ability to protect themselves in troubled times."

"However, the world has never lacked careerists. There was a samurai who betrayed the dogma of the Hand and the Society, and he began to believe in the evil beasts rumored in the esoteric arts."

"Shandhehui began to split, and under the leadership of this person, it became the current Handhehui, and they became a family of grass and snakes."

"They believe in evil gods, and they can use the lives of living people as sacrifices to resurrect the dead."

Li Jie is a little surprised now, the dead are resurrected? Is this really not a joke? If there is such a secret technique, then it is completely understandable to believe in the so-called evil god.

Because for ordinary people, the resurrection of the dead is a miracle.

The old man seemed to know what Li Jie was thinking, he continued. "But everything has a price, and resurrection is not an easy thing."

"Every resurrection will tear apart a piece of your soul, and your vacant soul will be filled by the beast."

"If you keep resurrecting, your soul will be shredded constantly. In the end, is your soul still you? Or is the living person still you?" The old man's tone was hollow, but it made people sweat.

"And the other faction of the Hand and the Society, they don't agree with all this. Bloody and senseless killing, death is an inevitable thing in life, any attempt to escape death will eventually be punished by death."

"They split into another faction called the Pure Reality Society. And I am the leader of the Pure Pure Society now." Gusuo said lightly, turning his head to Li Jie's side at the same time. "I hope you can help us Nightcrawler. You are a powerful practitioner. With your participation in the war, we will be more confident in the war between our opponents and the meeting."

"I'm sorry, please let me ask why first, or what do they want to do now?" The old man just told a story, but the important part was not said, and Li Jie had some doubts.

"Because Shouhehui is preparing to resurrect the beast, He Kong has already appeared, right in New York." It was Daredevil who spoke, and his tone was much more intense than that of the old man.

"Heikong is the carrier of the beast, and the resurrection of the beast will bring chaos to New York and even the United States. It feeds on fear and chaos."

"It takes pleasure in blood and killing, all of which are the source of its power, and its existence accelerates the expansion of these desires in people's hearts."

"As long as it comes to this world, it can affect people's minds, even if you don't need to be close to it. It can affect you just by being far away."

"When its power reaches its peak, it will spread chaos and the desire to kill all over the world."

"WHAT~THE~FUXF." Li Jie felt very difficult about this matter, because the little spider's situation was too similar to what Daredevil said.

"And there is another powerful weapon in the hand and the meeting. Although they rarely use it, as long as they use it, there will be few people in this world who can stop him." The old man's tone was very solemn.

"Because that's Ghost Rider, the voice of hell. So I expect you to help us fight the Hand and the Will, just like you've been protecting New York."

"The ninjas of the Pure Society have suffered heavy casualties, and we need the help of you and your team."

Wait, what did I just hear? An evil god who feeds on fear and killing, a gang of mysterious ninjas who can be resurrected indefinitely, and a Ghost Rider?

What happened to all this? Director, is the script you gave me correct? Li Jie's heart was broken.
