I am a Taoist priest in the extraordinary world

Chapter 82 Richard's Call

"Evil, Ancient Power"

In the dim light, Dante was flipping through the book "The Mystery of Lycania" in his hand, which he borrowed from Old Tom. It is a masterpiece describing real life in the Middle Ages, and the author is no longer known.

The protagonist in the book is a down-and-out businessman. He has traveled to many countries in the mainland, and has seen many strange things and people. He narrates what he has seen and heard along the way in an exaggerated way.

Among them, the description of the life of the church and the bottom people at that time occupies a lot of space respectively.

A story mentioned in it is that the protagonist happened to encounter the knight legion of the church in a desert in the east of the mainland, and forcibly confiscated all his business supplies, and was then kept by the legion leader who led the team as a clerk with the army.

Therefore, he recorded what he saw and heard from that march.

"...General Kompany would never have imagined that the oasis they wanted to conquer contained the greatest danger in the world"

". Fate is always unpredictable. No one knows what will happen to us in the next moment. During this trip to the desert, I feel the fragility and helplessness of human beings more and more."

".The oasis is lush with lush vegetation and lush water. After a long journey, the soldiers of the Knights couldn't help screaming and rushed to the sweet spring. This is a miracle bestowed by the Goddess of Life, but it is also marked in secret. price."

Richard, the spiritual body in the ether world, was startled when he heard the words, and was subconsciously moved.

"As my spiritual servant, you don't need to hide anything." Dante has already started to play the role of "Outer God" with ease.

Is Richard calling me?He frowned, flicked the necklace with his right hand, and "connected" the "incoming call" of the spiritual servant.

".I admit my timidity and fear. Taking advantage of nightfall and the Knights had no time to take care of me, I fled with the necessary supplies, because I could feel that if I didn't run away, maybe what was waiting for me would be It would be a terrible thing."

".The priests began to panic. They held large-scale ceremonies to pray for the power of the gods, but there always seemed to be problems in the middle."

"Therefore, I suspect that some evil gods who have been exiled here are brewing new storms. In the thousand years since I have been here, they have always made some noise from time to time."

"what's up?"

So, you made a special trip to contact me just to tell me about it?
Dante was silent for a moment, and replied: "Don't worry, the world is also not peaceful."

"Great Lord, please forgive my interruption."

Hearing this, Dante frowned slightly, thinking about the key.

Richard's voice sounded in his ears, as cautious as ever.

therefore
"This is not a bad thing, but you don't need to rush to explore, you are still very weak." Dante said.

Since Richard was appointed as his spiritual servant, he has been included in the "protection scope" by the power of the righteous gods of Taoism. In other words, Richard is now one of the soldiers and horses he has certified and no longer belongs to the "solitary The state of "spirits and ghosts".

pat!

Richard was a little hesitant to speak, he seemed to want to express something, but felt hesitant to say it.

"Thank you for your kindness. I just suddenly discovered that my soul has become more and more stable. In the past, I could only wander within a range of about one meter from the gate of hell, but now I can break through to about ten meters."

After all, in the records of Shimen's classics, there have been similar lonely souls and wild ghosts who received imperial seals, and since then they have condensed their dharma bodies and become ghosts and immortals.

".Even in my ears, auditory hallucinations appear from time to time, as if someone is whispering in my ear, speaking some words that I can't understand at all, and the syllables are obscure and difficult to distinguish."

Dante closed the book and pulled his thoughts away from the story described in the book, because he suddenly felt that the necklace made of ether gilt around his neck was sending subtle fluctuations.

".A strange thing, the ruins seem to have been destroyed by humans. I can see that this does not belong to its original appearance. It is more like years of erosion after the second destruction. According to the speculation of the accompanying priests, they think This is the sacrificial temple belonging to a certain evil god in the records."

".A terrible thing happened. Overnight, the soldiers of the Knights died silently, as if a demon in the dark night deprived them of their souls, leaving only empty bodies like sculptures, and the living ones People, more or less, have become a little abnormal."

"Great Lord, some areas in hell seem to be a little restless recently, and many spirits like me have become even crazier."

In this world, although the reason is still not very clear, you can get a rough answer by analogy.

".But General Kompany's expression is getting more and more dignified. I can feel the uneasiness deep in his heart. What is the reason? I have no way of knowing, let alone asking."

".There is actually an ancient ruin here, which is composed of towering domes and huge stone pillars. It can be described intuitively with words such as 'magnificent' and 'majestic'."

Well. I just had a fight today, and it was with your offspring.
"From your point of view, these are of course trivial things, just..."

If you look at it this way, it is understandable that the opponent's spirit body is becoming more and more solid and stable.

Richard paused for a moment, and spoke after deliberation: "Therefore, I think if this continues, maybe one day I can escape from the shackles of the gates of hell, and go to have a clear understanding of the situation in various areas of hell."

The area is restless, the spirit body is crazy, how do I know about your hell? Dante was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

".On the fourth night, when I was preparing dinner for General Kompany, I overheard his conversation with the priest. He said that there is evil and ancient power here. , I always feel that I should do something.”

But fortunately, Richard, the caring spiritual servant, can always grasp the proportions just right.

".For many years after I returned to the town, I was always worried about the consequences of my escape. I was afraid that the Knights would appear every day and send me to the gallows as a deserter. However, the adults of the church seem to have forgotten this matter. , I haven't even heard anything about that knight order."

Since his body collapsed and his soul was shattered thousands of years ago, it was the first time he felt "care" when he fell to the point where he was not as good as an ordinary person.

Just when he was excited by this, he heard a new "oracle" from the great Lord again.

"Since your soul has gradually stabilized, it just so happens that I have something here that I can teach you."

"You keep reading until you've got every word of it stuck in your mind."
