In the New York Temple, the extremely bored 'Johnny Blazer' searched the temple upstairs and downstairs several times, and then said with a depressed look to the old god beside him, 'Jalvo':

"What about seclusion? In the past three months, I've searched through the four floors and the attic dozens of times and still haven't seen the boss. Do you think he lied to us to look at the house here, and then went out to play on his own?"

Jarvo looked at Johnny like a fool:

"I said if you are bored, just watch TV for a while, and don't run around like a mouse. I am the master's number one pet, and I am responsible for protecting the master's safety. If the master is not nearby, then why should I stay here!"

Johnny smiled coquettishly: "Isn't this just a confirmation? By the way, Jarvo, let's just stay here, why not let's compete! How about a bet of five hundred dollars?"

Jarvo glanced at this guy and said with a look of disdain: "Last time, you said we stood at the gate of the temple and competed to see who could seduce a girl on the street first. We bet a hundred dollars, but you lost.

Don’t admit it!”

Johnny scratched his hair: "Don't mention that thing, okay? You know that New York girls of this era like men with chest hair, because it represents male charm. I originally thought that as long as I unbuttoned a few buttons on my shirt

Come on, with my sexy chest hair, that girl can grab a lot of it!"

Jarvo smiled and said: "Then you haven't lost yet!"

Johnny said bitterly: "Who would have thought that you would cheat? You would learn to unbutton from me, and you would end up with hair all over your body. You are too masculine!"

Jarvo's smile turned into a laugh: "Didn't anyone tell you I was a werewolf?"

Johnny raised his middle finger fiercely: "It doesn't matter anyway, you've hit my self-esteem. I've never lost when Johnny picks up girls. I lost to you the first time. Why don't you use my moves?"

How could I lose!"

Jarvo smiled and said: "You know what the heck, the master said, 'Wearing other people's pants and walking on other people's roads will make it impossible for people to go no matter how hard they run'!"

"..."

Johnny pondered this sentence in confusion, and the more he thought about it, the more powerful he became. He felt that both the master and the servant were crazy. He must not stand on the opposite side of them in the future. He must hug the boss's thigh tightly to avoid becoming a victim.

The one who stole the pants.

Johnny shook his head: "That time doesn't count anyway. We are our own people. If you copy my tricks, do you still have humanity? In short, I will not give you money!"

Jarvo sneered. He had expected that Johnny would default on the bill, and immediately said:

"Okay, since you said last time didn't count, what about the last time? Last time you said it was a brain-bombing competition. Whoever couldn't stand it first would lose. You bet two hundred dollars, but you didn't give me any money even if you lost!"

Johnny mentioned this and the fire was big: "Jarvo, can you still have a face, you play me a bag, I play you," Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang, the fingers, the fingers are all ejected, you tell me before telling me

You have an alloy skull..."

Jarvo couldn't stop laughing when he thought about that incident. He was competing with his own Adamantium alloy skeleton to bounce his skull. It was a brain show, but after the competition, Johnny's skull and fingers were all swollen. If he shaved his head,

Even though he was dead, he could become a Buddha immediately because his head was covered with bruises.

At this time, listening to Johnny's endless chatter, he shook his head helplessly and said: "Tell me, what is the competition this time?"

"How about we compete in sex games to see who can hold on longer?" Johnny has not yet passed the lovelorn period, and is in the stage of letting himself go, daring to try anything.

Jarvo said with a black line: "Farke, you remind me of a guy named 'Deadpool'. The two of you are equally vulgar and shameless. I'll introduce you to him when I get the chance!"

Just when these two guys were bored and amused, on the top floor of the temple, in a room that Johnny had rummaged through dozens of times, in the mirror space, Huang Shaohong was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

If anyone were to check Huang Shaohong's breathing at this time, they would find that he was not breathing at all.

Not far in front of Huang Shaohong, an ancient book about the laws of time and space was floating in the air. The pages of the book were automatically turned from time to time, making it look like it was haunted.

The magic floating cloak flew to Huang Shaohong's side in the room, and then flew to the ancient book. It was very busy, because under its perception, there were two owners in the room at this time.

The Magic Floating Cloak had experienced this situation before when it was following Gu Yi, so it was not surprised. It knew that this situation was called 'soul out-of-body' for temple mages!

Yes, Huang Shaohong was in an out-of-body state at this time. After he returned to the New York Temple from the 'Hydra' base in the Alps, he released Jarvo to keep Johnny company, so that he could stay with Johnny during his retreat.

One more person can protect the law.

Still uneasy, he arranged a mirror space in a room on the top floor. Since Johnny didn't understand space magic, he naturally couldn't discover the existence of the mirror space.

Huang Shaohong practiced Kama Taj's spell in this mirror space.

He knew that Ancient One was right, the soul was the foundation of the mage, and all the spells of 'Kama Taj' needed to be cast by extracting energy from other dimensions through the soul.

And 'soul separation' is the best way to train the soul among all the spells of 'Kama Taj'.

Therefore, if Huang Shaohong wants to increase his magic skills, it is imperative to practice soul separation to increase soul power.

However, whether it is easy to practice the practice of soul separation from the body also varies from person to person. There is a saying in China that if a weak person is frightened or suffers from a serious illness, he will easily lose his soul and need to call the soul to recover.

People who are healthy, strong and energetic will basically not encounter soul loss.

From this point of view, the weaker the body, the easier it is for the soul to leave the body, while the opposite is true for the stronger the body and the stronger the qi and blood, and the more difficult it is.

Huang Shaohong is a master of martial arts. His body is as powerful as lead and mercury. The power of such a body to pull his own soul is dozens or even hundreds of times that of ordinary people.

The last time he was at Karma Taj, even Ancient One couldn't make his soul completely leave his body.

Therefore, one can imagine the difficulty of Huang Shaohong’s practice of ‘soul separation’.

However, his obsession with power made Huang Shaohong happy with the boring practice, and he finally succeeded in practicing soul separation after two months of retreat.

Po Tong said that the technique of "Kama Taj" to separate the soul from the body is very interesting. Although it is somewhat similar to the Taoist trance, which is also known as the Yin God and the Yang God, that is just the surface. The two are fundamentally different.

different.

Taoist cultivation is entirely based on one's own cultivation. At first, the soul seems very weak when it leaves the body. But with regular practice, the soul will stay outside the body for longer and longer, and the distance from the body will become farther and farther. Finally,

As your cultivation level increases, you can achieve the journey of Yin Shen and Yang Shen.

But this is not the case with the 'soul leaving the body' of 'Kama Taj'. After the soul leaves the body, it must constantly absorb abilities from other dimensions to maintain the vitality of the soul itself and the body.

Therefore, during this process, the power of the soul will passively and slowly increase steadily. This is also the most important way for temple mage to improve his own strength.

Maybe some people don’t understand why after the soul leaves the body, the soul is obviously no longer in the body, but it can still keep the physical body alive by absorbing power from other dimensions?

In fact, those who have watched the movie "Doctor Strange" will know that even if the soul and body are separated, there is still an invisible connection.

Just like Doctor Strange's soul would emit lightning when his body was electrocuted while being rescued in the hospital.

In this state, the soul is much more stable than when Taoists first emerged from the Yinshen. Huang Shaohong's soul was able to travel as soon as his soul left the body. While ensuring that his body did not starve to death, his soul traveled far away from New York.

A trip to London is no problem.

Of course, Huang Shaohong would not be so bored that his soul would leave his body and go traveling. He found that a better advantage of his soul leaving his body was that he could practice and study at the same time.

The 'Secret of Immortality' in his body is constantly growing and circulating, and his cultivation is naturally increasing no matter whether he is walking, sitting or lying down, but the effect is best only when he is sitting cross-legged with his five hearts pointing towards the sky.

So he simply let his body sit cross-legged to practice the exercises, and then his soul left the body to comprehend the spells. This way he could kill two birds with one stone, and neither his soul nor his body would be wasted.

Moreover, Huang Shaohong discovered that after leaving the body, the soul lost the fetters of the physical body, its memory and understanding became better, and its thinking became sharper than usual.

In this state, it is more suitable to study martial arts or magic.

At this time, Huang Shaohong read an ancient book called "A Brief Treatise on Time, Space and Magic", which recorded the understanding and exploration of 'time and space' by the temple mages of all ages. It also contained some insights about time and space from the ancient Supreme Mage.

Of course, since this book is called "A Brief Theory", it naturally contains some basic knowledge, but even so, it opened Huang Shaohong's eyes.

The reason why he wanted to study the knowledge of "Kama Taj" about time and space was because he wanted to draw parallels and see if he could make a breakthrough in practicing the "Ten Thousand Wonders of the World" through the magicians' understanding of time and space.

Huang Shaohong spent a month to read the book "A Brief Theory of Time, Space and Magic", and then spent nearly half a year to digest and fully understand these basic time and space knowledge.

After that, Huang Shaohong took out the famous "Book of Cagliostro".

This "Book of Cagliostro" is also called the Book of Time. It specializes in magic about time. It is an advanced textbook for studying the theory of time and space in "Kama Taj".

This book was not allowed to be touched by temple mages other than Ancient One before, because it recorded things about the dark dimension. If anyone looked at it, it would reveal that Ancient One came from the dark dimension in order to live forever.

Absorbing energy for your own use.

Huang Shaohong didn't understand why Gu Yi showed this book to him, but since it was in his hands, he would naturally not be polite. After digesting the basic theories about time and space, he began to study this book day and night.

This book comes.

More than a year passed in this way, and Huang Shaohong continued to maintain a state of soul separation from the body, reading "The Book of Cagliostro" repeatedly without letting go of the book.

Finally on this day, Huang Shaohong realized something. The "Book of Cagliostro" floating in the air slowly fell to the ground. The next moment, Huang Shaohong's body suddenly opened his eyes, and a trace of light flashed in his eyes.

Happy.

"So that's it!"

After Huang Shaohong sighed, he closed his eyes again and began to perform the weird method in "The Ten Thousand Wonders of the World".

At this moment, the broken copper in his body suddenly noticed something, and quickly called out in his mind:

"Stop it quickly, this "Wonderful Dharma of the Thousand Worlds" is too dangerous and weird. It is a method of throwing one's soul into other worlds and going through reincarnation between breaths to increase the cultivation of one's mind. If it is not done well,

You won’t be able to come back!”

But no matter how Po Tong called for warning, Huang Shaohong was already immersed in his own understanding and practice at this time, and he seemed to have ignored Po Tong's call.

The energy in his body was surging, divine light was flowing, and the space around his entire body began to tremble and twist slightly.

The next moment, a streak of colorful light came out of Huang Shaohong's top door and disappeared directly into the void.

Huang Shaohong's body quickly withered after this. His originally bulging muscles shrank rapidly, his elastic skin became like tree bark, and his tall figure shrank by nearly ten centimeters. Sitting there, he looked as if he was decrepit.

Yes, just like an octogenarian.

The magic floating cloak seemed to sense something, and suddenly flew over to wrap Huang Shaohong's body before breaking through the mirror space and flying away.

But at this moment, Huang Shaohong's body suddenly heard a broken voice: "Well, Ancient One can't save him. Whether he can break through the confusion and return to his true form depends on whether his will is strong!"

After Po Tong said these words, Huang Shaohong, who had been taken off the ground by the magic floating cloak, suddenly sank and fell steadily back to his original position.

However, the magic floating cloak savior failed and quickly wrapped Huang Shaohong's entire body tightly.

Po Tong sighed and said: "Perhaps my old man should have stopped him from studying "The Ten Thousand Wonders of the World". I didn't expect that he would really get to this point..."

There was a feeling of loss in the words, and the voice became smaller and smaller. Finally, the entire mirror space fell into silence, and no sound came out.

===========================================

When Huang Shaohong woke up, he found himself lying on the ground with severe pain in his head. He stretched out his hand and touched it, and felt that his hand was wet. When he looked at it, he was shocked to see blood on his hand.

"Fuck, who the hell did this?"

He struggled to get up, raised his eyes and looked around, and found himself in a dilapidated ancient alley. The architectural style of the stone walls on both sides was indescribably weird, somewhat like ancient buildings, but not like the architectural styles of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

"Why am I here?"

Huang Shaohong rubbed his temples, and suddenly memories came flooding back to him.

He remembered that he was playing games online at home, and then he seemed to spill a drink on the keyboard. It was nothing at first, but at that moment, there seemed to be a thunderous sound outside at a very close distance.

After the thunder, I felt a numb feeling all over my body, and I can't remember what happened next.

Now I think it was probably because the lightning struck the network cable and I happened to wet the keyboard. I don't know how it happened, but the electricity knocked me out.

Although Nima’s explanation is acceptable, how did he end up in this strange place?

Huang Shaohong struggled to get up, but he felt pain all over his body, as if he had been beaten. In addition, he was so hungry that he didn't have much energy to walk.

After getting up, he wandered out of the alley. Now he wanted to buy a bread mat to cushion his stomach, then go to the hospital to bandage the wound on his head, and then call the police to find out who brought him here to beat him up.

As a result, when he walked out of the alley, Huang Shaohong's expression suddenly became dull. He saw ancient pavilions under construction everywhere outside the alley, and there were towering city walls in the distance.

People were coming and going on the street, most of them dressed in foreign-looking clothes. A group of soldiers in armor in the distance approached from far away. These people looked like Han Chinese, but they were dressed in costumes from which dynasty they could not tell.

"Here, why did I come to the movie city!"

Huang Shaohong was a little confused, but suddenly he came to his senses and looked down at himself. He was not wearing modern clothes, but a tattered linen shirt, with dust and blood stains on his body, and a pair of straw sandals on his feet.

He looked around and saw a stable not far to the right with a drinking trough for horses. He rushed over and looked down, and saw a familiar but much younger face reflected in the water.
