I am a Taoist priest in the extraordinary world

Chapter 10 The Price of Divination

Leon's words echoed in Dante's heart for a long time. The mixed emotions of uneasiness, annoyance, loss, and shock made him speechless for a while.

"Do you know why I tell you so much?"

Leon returned to his calm look, and glanced over.

Dante shook his head and asked, "Why?"

"If my predictions are correct, your awakened extraordinary ability should be related to things like prophecy and divination."

Dante nodded, without explaining, he acquiesced to the answer.

Leon smiled in a low voice, looked at the silent Dante, also not in a hurry to speak, reached out and gently tugged the bell beside the desk.

There was an eerie silence in the room.

Dante didn't pay much attention to the change in the atmosphere between the two at the moment, his brows were slightly frowned, and he was trying to digest the information he had received.

Is the ability to awaken only related to divination?

Strictly speaking, the inheritance of one's own master's sect is not only a means of divination.

The master once said that there are five lines of metaphysics in Taoism, which are called "Mountain Doctor's Destiny and Divination", and each line has different characteristics and functions. The main practice direction, there are very few exceptions.

Only my own sect, because the ancestors have training, each generation of disciples must be fellow practitioners of the five veins, so the requirements for talent are extremely strict, so they are forced to pass it on from generation to generation.

Looking at it now, I was able to be accepted into the sect back then, and "extremely strong spiritual sense" is actually not just empty talk
It's just that it may be caused by the environmental factors of the earth. I can only learn the theory for nothing, but I don't have any chance to practice it.

No wonder in the past every time I read related records in Shimen's classics, it was like reading a strange novel.

After all, such things as becoming a fairy, eliminating demons, spiritual healing, and changing one's life all sound too far-fetched.

Fortunately, there were strict requirements from the master back then, and he just learned all the knowledge of the five veins of metaphysics.

Now in this world, it seems that the content I have mastered can no longer be a fantasy
Dante pondered for a moment, and finally noticed the atmosphere of silence at this moment. He raised his head and asked:
"Then which special job system does my ability belong to?"

"This is why I felt a little complicated after confirming it just now."

"Because the special job system of divination is quite special," Leon explained:

"Generally speaking, only a few Extraordinary people in the church will awaken this ability. Once the awakening is successful, their status and identity will get a qualitative leap. Only they have the ability to minimize the danger when performing divination or prophecy. Coefficient means."

"After all, the power and information sensed during divination are often more chaotic, disorderly, and insane."

"So it means that my ability is very dangerous and rare?"

Dante showed a proper look of fear, although he didn't have much such emotion in his heart at the moment.

That feeling is obviously very warm, and the direction of guidance is very clear, okay?
"Yes, if you are a member of the church, you can now be trained as the core force of the church."

Leon nodded, and continued to add: "There used to be some non-church personnel who awakened related abilities, but only a very small number of them are barely alive at present."

Reluctantly Dante keenly captures the word.

"Whether it's divination or prophecy, it has already come into contact with the field of destiny in essence. According to the common cognition of all mystic schools, this is the ability that belongs to the gods alone, and it is also one of the few specialties that humans can reach the ninth level. one of the jobs."

"The church has always claimed that they can be guided by the gods, and that's why.

After countless generations of hard exploration and cruel lessons, they have summed up a set of methods to avoid danger and loss of control as much as possible, but outsiders have no way of knowing it. "

"So for non-church personnel, the awakening of this ability basically announces the imminence of destruction."

Leon spoke quietly, and when he looked over, there was an expression of regret mixed with envy at the beginning.

Dante gradually realized why he looked at himself like this.

According to this world's understanding of gods, Extraordinary people with divination ability can be said to be purely looking for death.

But this kind of ability is unique. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to touch the domain that belongs to God alone, so naturally people can't help but envy it.

To give an inappropriate example, there is a pile of shit mixed with poison. Everyone knows that if you eat it, you will have a chance to get rich overnight, but not everyone has the courage to eat it in one bite.

"The very few people you mentioned"

"With the help of some available ancient relics, I forcibly kept my consciousness awake, but after all, I was still in a semi-crazy state, just delaying the time of loss of control as much as possible, just like drinking the venom of the Corridor dragon to quench my thirst Like that."

An ancient relic should be something similar to a taboo. Dante silently memorized this word.

"Then there are no Extraordinary who re-believe after awakening their divination ability?"

"According to the record, no." Leon threw out the answer directly. He took out a kraft paper file bag from the desk drawer and threw it on the table.

"I'm also very surprised that you will awaken this ability, after all, from our investigation of you."

He pointed to the file on the table, tilted his head and said, "Your past experience and family background don't have any record of belief in gods."

Dante looked in the direction of Leon's finger, and found that the file bag read:

"Pravda Case #2-01 - Survivor: Dante Ashburn"

What does the 2 in this number mean?Dante thought a little jumpily.

"So, either you are a deeply hidden religious believer and have never exposed it in the past 20 years, otherwise, I can only attribute you to that group of lucky unlucky people."

Leon's blue eyes looked calm and deep again, and his voice was low, and he continued: "But even if it's the former, you probably won't have a good time."

What do you mean?
Dante frowned, he was indeed "hidden very deeply", Taoism naturally believed
"The followers of the Twelve Gods will not hide their religious beliefs. They are eager to let the whole continent know about it." Leon twitched his lips and looked directly at the man in front of him.

"Unless you believe in evil gods."

Cthulhu? !
What a joke!How can my Taoist Sanqing and the righteous gods be evil gods!
Dante was about to shoot the case, and then realized that this is not the earth.

"You won't really let me say it, will you?"

Leon's observation was very keen, but his attitude didn't seem to care too much.

"Relax, I hope you are really a believer in evil gods."

kindness?
Could it be an official organization of the Federation? In fact, it is not on the same line as the church?
"Because in this way, if you are arrested and brought to justice, our action team's target for this month can be completed ahead of schedule."

"."

Dante was silent for a moment, and said very seriously:
"I swear, I have never believed in any gods in the mainland."

"As a law-abiding citizen of the Federation, I am at odds with the evil gods."
