Batman's Owl Godfather

"What are you saying that I don't understand?"

Bruce shook his head, and then changed the subject, "How have you been lately? From your tone, you should be living quite comfortably?"

"It's okay. People here respect me."

Katum was lying on a soft bed at this time, looking like he was doing nothing.

He now has nine meals a day served by Kama Taj's dedicated staff. It seems that Gu Yi really wants to raise Katum and prevent him from running around.

But how could a free owl be willing to be a plaything in the hands of others?

"Bruce, I've been working on something very interesting recently."

Katum said, "Marvel's magic is very different from Hogwarts' magic. Are you interested in learning it?"

Marvel magic?

"etc."

Bruce asked doubtfully, "Didn't you go find Tony Stark? Why are you talking about magic now?"

"Well, everything is changing, and plans may change at any time, right?"

Katum said casually, "Okay, first tell me if you are interested. If so, I can help you find study materials. I guarantee that they are all authentic ancient books that are inaccessible to the outside world."

Interested in learning?

Of course there is. Bruce may resist any force, but he will never resist learning.

This is an investment that will never lose money.

After getting Bruce's affirmative reply, Katum said: "Okay, then you go to class first, and I will come find you after school!"

"You want to come back?" Bruce asked.

"No need to bother."

Katum smiled and said, "I'll open your eyes later!"

…

Inside Kama Taj, Ancient One was negotiating with some arcane mages.

The debate was peaceful, but it was clear that everyone had their own unique opinions.

Many come looking for Kama Taj, but few can find her, let alone those qualified to learn her secrets...and even fewer are worthy of her knowledge.

This is also the reason why Gu Yi hopes to consult with others - there are always different new ideas when looking at problems from different angles.

But now the conversation is over.

"Thank you, all mages, for coming."

She thanked her, and they each returned to their distant homes through the portal.

After the debate, Ancient One felt her disciple Modo looking at her.

"Master Modu, what's the matter?" she asked with a smile.

"Master Gu Yi." Mo Du bowed to Gu Yi first, and then began to express his doubts.

"About that owl you brought back recently."

Modu said, "It looks so smart. It always behaves like a human. Recently, it often flies around in Kama Taj, and its focus is on the library..."

He deliberated for a long time before asking in a tactful tone what he was most worried about——

"Master Gu Yi, is this your new disciple?"

"Disciple? No, no, no!"

Gu Yi suddenly felt a little sick in his stomach when he thought about the owl's face.

If he was really his disciple, then Gu Yi's short lifespan would be completely shortened.

"In fact, it was no ordinary owl."

Ancient One said, "He is also a magician. He came to Kama Taj to exchange magic with me."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Mo Du felt relieved.

It turned out to be the mage's guest, so Mage Gu Yi must have known what the owl did and had a solution.

In fact, this time Mordu mentioned Katum, there is actually more to it.

In the past few days when the owl came to Kama Taj, it can be said that it did all kinds of evil.

Not only does he bully students everywhere, but he also always does some pranks.

Librarian Wang's head was shaved with indelible graffiti painted on it, Master Hamil's beard was tied into a bow, and even Mordo himself experienced some unspeakable things.

As a black man, he once woke up and found himself in a cotton field.

It's all the owl's doing.

Now it seems that Master Gu Yi not only knew about these things, but even adopted a tacit attitude...

But why?

Modu looked at Gu Yi, hoping to see some hint about this matter from his teacher's face.

But he couldn't see anything.

Maybe it would be a good choice to ask Gu Yi directly, but practice requires understanding. If you ask Gu Yi everything, although the mage is happy to answer, it is equivalent to telling her that she is a person without understanding.

Think, Modu, think about it!

If you are smart, you will surely understand the profound meaning of the mage!

Finally, after thinking hard, an idea flashed in Modu's mind.

He thought of what Master Gu Yi said just now. Katum was invited by her to exchange magic...

I see!

Modu finally knew why. A relieved smile appeared on his face, he clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to Gu Yi.

"I understand Master!"

He said sincerely, "We will not let you down!"

…

Later, Modu called his brothers together.

"Senior Brother Modu!"

A slightly younger mage had various funny patterns painted on his face. He couldn't wait to ask, "What are we going to do today!?"

He held the rope in his hand and looked eager to try.

The young mage was bullied by the owl, and the paint pattern on his face could not be washed away. He wanted to take revenge on the owl for more than a day or two.

Just today, as soon as Brother Modu said a word, he rushed into Katum's room, tied him up with a rope, plucked his hair out, and then painted the same graffiti on his face.

Let Katum feel his pain.

However, after hearing what his junior brother said, Mo Du suddenly refuted it seriously.

"What are you doing!"

He said sternly, "You are so impetuous, how can you achieve righteousness?"

"ah?"

The young mage was stunned when he was told this. Did Senior Brother Modu change his face too quickly?

Wasn't he the first to come up with the plan to take revenge on the owl? For this reason, he specifically went to ask the mage for instructions. Could it be that Master Gu Yi was opposed to this plan?

Not only the young mage, but other fellow apprentices were also puzzled.

If Modu doesn't give a convincing explanation today, they will definitely not give up.

Modu also knew this, so he didn't hide it from other brothers.

"Today I asked Master Ancient One for instructions on the origin of the owl."

Modu said calmly, "The mage told me that the owl is the wizard she invited to exchange magic. The mage actually knows all the things he did."

"ah?!"

The surrounding cultivators made puzzled sounds at the same time.

"Why?" someone asked, "We usually practice very hard, why does Master invite people to torture us?"

"So, your Taoism is still too shallow and you cannot see through the Master's profound meaning!"

Mo Du shook his head and said, "You have also seen various stories about spiritual practice. Don't you know about Buddhist koan stories?"

Kama Taj is located in Nepal, and Nepal is also the birthplace of Buddha. The two have the same origin. Kama Taj's disciples will naturally be familiar with Buddhism.

I have often heard stories about those public cases.

The so-called koan story is actually easy to understand. It means that the ancestors released their disciples through some incomprehensible actions.

Generally it tests the disciple's understanding.

In modern times, this kind of story has spawned many jokes, such as the classic "Young Man Asks a Zen Master"——

The young man asked the Zen master: "I am often bullied and cannot straighten my spine." The old Zen master smiled and took out a snake.

The young man realized: "You want me to bend and stretch like a snake, right?"

The old Zen master smiled and replied: "Whoever bullies you, put this thing in his bed..."

This kind of joke is a kind of deconstruction and ridicule of ancient public case stories.

At this time, after Modu's reminder, the other students seemed to understand something.

"Brother, I understand!"

Another mage said, "You mean, that owl's pranks actually have a deep meaning?"

Is the owl inspiring them to practice through these abstract behaviors?

"It's good that you can understand this level! It shows that you are enlightened."

Mo Du smiled, "Think about it, Master Gu Yi loves every disciple equally, why would he let us be bullied?"

really.

As expected of Senior Brother Modu, he was able to understand the good intentions of Master Gu Yi in such a short period of time.

All the disciples had a look of shame on their faces, feeling that they were really far away from the realm of their senior brothers.

At this time, someone asked: "But, how should we understand the behavior of Master Owl?"

"It's very simple, just keep enlightening!"

Modu said, "When you can't figure it out for the time being, imitate Master Owl's behavior and understand his profound meaning!"

and--

"When Master Owl is teaching us, doesn't he still make hoots?"

Modu said, "Before, we thought it was a joke that succeeded, but now it seems that we were wrong. It should be that he was using his own language to teach us, but we just couldn't understand it."

It is not difficult to understand the language of owls.

In Kama Taj, there is magic that can talk to animals.

"Now, let me give you a suggestion."

Modu finally said, "Everyone must learn the magic of talking to animals, and must not miss any of the master's instructions! If you miss it, it will be your loss!"

"Follow senior brother's teachings!"

All the disciples put their hands together and thanked Modu.

Their hearts are burning, a master of magic in animal form must be the legendary Druid.

The teachings he gave to his students must be the essence of his many years of practice.

Someone is secretly determined to understand the meaning behind the owl's behavior.

If you can't understand it, just imitate it first.

Some radical disciples have even made preparations.

If the owl can doodle with the king's bald head, so can they!

Not only that, but also using a better bald head——

Huh?

Thinking about it carefully, Master Gu Yi also seems to have a bald head?

…

Bruce's first day on campus is over.

To him, there was nothing special, except for Peter Parker always nagging in his ear, everything was normal.

There were no sudden conflicts or unexpected encounters.

Real campus life is like this.

But as Mr. Hall drove them home, Pietro and Wanda's spirits were high.

For them, the lost campus life is a gift.

Ordinaryness is also a kind of happiness.

"Wanda was confessed."

As soon as Pietro sat in the back seat, he couldn't wait to start sharing what happened today.

"It was a tall boy. He acted very domineering and asked Wanda to be his girlfriend."

"What happened after that?" Bruce glanced at Wanda, who was still detached from the world.

It seemed that what Pietro said had nothing to do with her.

"No after that."

Pietro said, "That guy was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. He couldn't even beat Wanda. He was directly taught a lesson. He cried and called for his mother at that time."

In fact, this is normal.

How could a child with a happy family and no experience of survival pressure be a match for Wanda.

Even if she couldn't compete with her in size, her methods were much more cruel.

Without some real skills, Wanda would not have lived to this day.

"Alas, why didn't any girl confess to me like me?"

Pietro was sad on the side. His sister's experience was in sharp contrast to his. Because of his silver hair, many classmates thought he had some congenital disease.

Looking at his eyes, they were full of pity.

Bruce listened on the side and didn't make any comments.

He was now thinking about what Katum had said to him before, that he would teach him magic from the Marvel world.

"What could be different?"

Bruce couldn't help but think, "They're all magic, how could there be a world of difference?"

Just thinking about it won't give him an answer, Bruce could only wait for Katum's arrival at night.

Perhaps with the owl's display, a brand new door will be completely opened to Bruce.

...

Late at night, Bruce's room.

Batboy didn't sleep, he lay on the bed with his eyes wide open, waiting for Katum.

"Damn owl."

Bruce looked at the clock hanging on the wall, it was already two o'clock in the morning.

How could Katum be so cruel and let a child like him stay up so late at night?

Then, just as Bruce was secretly scolding Katum, a gust of wind suddenly blew around.

In this room with closed doors and windows, a gust of wind blew for no reason, which made people feel strange.

Bruce immediately became alert, he sat up, frowned and asked: "Katum, is that you?"

No one answered.

The wind was still blowing, and a faint voice was calling Bruce's name from far away.

"Bruce Wayne...Bruce Wayne..."

The voice shouted, "Give me back my life...Give me back my life..."

The voice was sobbing, like the voice of a ghost in a movie. If an ordinary child heard it, he would probably be scared to death.

But Bruce was completely sure at this time.

"Katum, it's you!"

He cursed, "Why are you playing tricks here! I recognize your voice!"

As soon as this sentence came out, the surrounding sounds disappeared and the wind stopped.

"It's boring."

Katum suddenly appeared in the room, "Can't you cooperate with me?"

"Why should I cooperate with you..."

Bruce was halfway through his words and suddenly froze.

Katum now looks particularly strange, transparent all over, not like a living creature.

On the contrary, it looks like--

a soul?
