Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

However, since she had promised Long Ji, she would not give up halfway because of the trouble, so she followed her through one secret passage after another.

Kato Megumi was no longer surprised by the fact that she passed through one secret passage after another and stayed in one room after another.

I don’t know how many secret passages I passed through, but finally the journey reached its end.

After leaving the house, the faint sunlight was shining. Pushing open the door, Kato Megumi found herself in a small farmyard. Looking at the thatched house in front of her and the spider webs on the eaves, Kato Megumi knew that they had already left the city.

"The Imperial Master is outside the city?"

Kato Megumi asked.

"Well, it's much safer outside the city than inside, and..."

Having said this, Long Ji said nothing more, but just told Kato Hui that they still had to walk a while before reaching their destination.

Kato Megumi didn't care about this. She had already walked for such a long time, so it didn't matter if she walked a little further.

……

……

Following Long Ji, the two walked slowly and came to the foot of a green hill.

It is obviously an ordinary green mountain, but Kato Megumi feels that the air here seems to be better than elsewhere, and even the vegetation is more vibrant.

The two men went into the mountains, bathed in the sunshine in the woods, crossed the rugged path, and finally arrived at their destination, a bamboo house in the woods with a yard.

Chickens and ducks fluttered their wings happily inside the wooden fence. A stream flowed slowly by the bamboo forest. Sunlight scattered on the ground. An old man sipped tea leisurely on a recliner.

Seeing the old man, Long Ji became visibly excited.

"It's right here, please follow me, benefactor."

She ran quickly to the old man and hugged the white-bearded man who was basking in the sun on a recliner.

"Grandpa Imperial Master!"

Being hugged so suddenly, the old man woke up from his nap with a cry of "Ouch".

"Hey, it's you little girl! Why are you here... You have time to come and see an old man like me, is there something wrong?"

Long Ji pouted in dissatisfaction.

"If nothing happens, I can't find you~"

As she said that, Long Ji rolled her eyes, walked over and pulled up Kato Megumi.

"Grandpa Imperial Master, look who I brought with me!"

The old man raised his head and saw Kato Megumi, who was smiling and had an extraordinary temperament but was smart and restrained.

His eyes were shocked at first, then he suddenly realized, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and there was a bit of surprise and understanding in his eyes.

"So you are a distinguished guest. I hope you don't mind my humble abode. Please take a seat. You are welcome."

Kato Megumi nodded and didn't ask anything. Instead, she lifted her skirt and sat on a stone bench beside her.

Seeing this, the old man also stood up, then patted Long Ji's head with a smile.

"A distinguished guest is coming, why didn't you inform us in advance?"

Long Ji stuck out her tongue and held the old man's arm.

"Isn't this a surprise for you? Haven't you always been talking about the unlucky person you want to meet? This time Long Ji found her and brought her to you. Aren't you happy?"

The old man curled up his index finger and flicked Long Ji's head lightly, saying with a smile,

"You are so cunning even at such a young age! Go inside and make some tea."

"I was wondering, there have been magpies singing on the branches lately, so I made a divination for it. It turns out that a distinguished guest will come to visit us soon. It turns out that this divination is going to happen today!"

"Hey, so you figured it out!"

Longji pouted. No wonder she didn't react much. It was really boring. She decided to go into the house and make tea for her benefactor. She went to talk to Qingcui and left.

Seeing the little girl's reaction, the old man shook his head helplessly, while Kato Megumi on the side was a little curious.

"I have heard of the great reputation of Mr. Guoshi for a long time. He is the best Guoshi in the world and is known as a living immortal. Now I see that his reputation is well-deserved. I have already guessed what he is like before I have even seen him."

I thought it was the other party who took the initiative to ask Long Ji to come find me, but I didn't expect that the other party didn't know it at all.

But even so, from what the other party said, even if he didn't know about this, he could calculate that I was coming. It seems that the ability of divination is more magical than I imagined.

"What fame or not, it's all just a false reputation given to me by the world! I am just an ordinary fortune teller. It's just that good luck followed the great ancestor, and I got the position of national teacher by chance. My status has risen suddenly. This is something that people can't help but flatter."

The Imperial Master waved his hand, apparently not caring about these false reputations.

After driving Long Ji away, the Imperial Master was not polite either. He used some unknown means, but he took out a bamboo woven cushion out of thin air, put it under him, and sat cross-legged on the ground with a graceful posture, showing a graceful, neat and tough demeanor.

"So, I don't deserve to be the best in the world! It's okay if you just listen to it, but if you really take it seriously, you will be arrogant and self-indulgent, and you will lose your original intention sooner or later. After all, I am just an ordinary person, and at most I have some abilities. No matter what outsiders say, I can't escape this world after all."

The old man smiled, and his shrewd eyes suddenly looked at Kato Megumi, and then he laughed heartily.

"Your Excellency is different from me. You are a person from outer space, with unfathomable powers and a divine dragon protecting you. You are the hope of all people, and the power of will is bestowed upon you. Compared to me, your Excellency is truly a deity."

Seeing that the national teacher could see her origins at a glance, Kato Megumi was just slightly stunned, then blinked.

"As expected of you, Mr. Imperial Master. This divination technique is indeed mysterious and unique..."

"Haha, it's just so-so. This line of work is all about following the will of heaven."

The Imperial Master stroked his beard and waved his hand. Two cups of steaming tea with mist rising out of thin air appeared on the stone table.

"please……"

Looking at the tea in front of her, Kato Megumi didn't hesitate to pick up the tea and took a few sips.

Inside the house, Long Ji curled her lips as she watched the tea suddenly disappear.

"If you don't want to be disturbed, just say so. Why are you trying to find an excuse to make tea?"

He snorted and went to find his own fun with his head held high.

On this side, seeing Kato Megumi frowned after sipping her tea, the old man smiled.

"This is bitter tea. Young people can't get used to it. Only an old guy like me likes to drink a few sips from time to time."

Hearing this, Kato Megumi also nodded.

"It is indeed bitter, but it can refresh the mind and nourish the soul. It is not bad to drink it often."

It's similar to coffee, but much bitterer than coffee, Kato Megumi said as she took a few more sips. After a few sips, she could taste a bit of clear sweetness from the bitter taste.

Seeing this, the national teacher was stunned, and then laughed heartily.

"Haha, this is the first time I've seen a young man drink my bitter tea without changing his expression. It seems that you and I are of the same mind!"

"You know, I have made this tea for many people before, even our great-grandfather drank it, but they couldn't taste it and spit it out on the spot. It's such a pity, such a waste of natural resources."

The national teacher stroked his beard and looked at Kato Megumi's expression and couldn't help but get closer to her.

"Speaking of which, where were we just talking about? Oh, yes, speaking of divination, it may seem mysterious to outsiders, but to us, it's just a way to make a living. Divination is just knowing the will of heaven in advance. To be honest, everyone in this world knows some divination, and we are just more sophisticated."

Doomsday Disaster: Chapter 473 Chapter : Divination

"Hmm? I'd like to hear more about it. I wonder if Mr. Imperial Master could explain it to Hui."

"I wanted to say this before, what is the title of Mr. Imperial Master? I have never heard anyone address him like that!"

Seeing the national teacher's strange expression, Kato Megumi tilted her head.

"Well, you are the national teacher, and also a saint who has saved millions of people. Thousands of sentient beings have benefited from your kindness, so it is appropriate to call you sir. After all, we can't call you grandpa, a great human. The former title makes you sound old, and the latter title is inappropriate."

"Ahahaha, you have a lot on your mind, little girl! Come to think of it, I haven't introduced myself to you yet."

As he spoke, the Imperial Master sat up straight and restrained his expression.

"My surname is Duan, my given name is Duan Zhou. I am the imperial teacher of the imperial dynasty and the only disciple of the 35th generation of the Tianxing Sect. So you can just call me Master Duan. May I know your name?"

"Well...it's okay to tell Mr. Duan my name. My name is Kato Hui, you can just call me Hui."

"Hey, this name is quite unusual."

Kato Megumi blinked and nodded.

"It does seem a little strange to you. I wonder if Master Duan can tell anything from Hui's name?"

Mr. Duan shook his head.

"Miss Hui came from outer space. My divination is in accordance with the will of heaven. How can I predict something that even heaven doesn't know..."

As he spoke, Mr. Duan took a sip of tea and returned to the previous topic.

"The art of divination may seem mysterious to outsiders, but in fact, it is not that powerful in nature."

"Divination is a technique that uses the energy of heaven and earth and the eight trigrams to evolve the future of destiny. In essence, it is a method of predicting the future in advance and detecting some information."

Old Duan stroked his beard and spoke leisurely.

"You have to know that there is a heaven above, and humans are just one of the countless creatures. No matter how powerful you are, how can you break through the cage and figure out the mysteries of heaven and earth? Just like a bird in a cage, you can only see what the heaven wants you to see. As fortune tellers, we can only predict what will happen in the future in advance."

"It's just like the experienced farmer in the field who can predict the weather by looking at the sky. There are also the experienced flower growers who can tell what the future will be like and whether the flower will wither by looking at its color and spirit. There are also the ants who move away before the earth dragon turns over. These panicking creatures, aren't they all able to predict the future in advance?"

"It's clearly something that will happen in the future, but they can predict it based on their five senses, the surrounding atmosphere, the clouds in the sky, and the surrounding environment."

"And we are in the business of divination, the same is true, except that our abilities are more sophisticated and the scope is wider. It's nothing to predict the future based on aura, birth date, astronomical phenomena, and starlight."

Mr. Duan really didn't seem to think his divination was that mysterious. Kato Megumi blinked and began to understand his thoughts a little.

Divination, like science, is a system with its own logical cycles.

If we put it in ancient times, aren't the things derived from science also miracles? It's just that people have figured out the principles behind them, so they don't find them mysterious anymore; the same is true for divination, which is also a system. To outsiders, it seems mysterious and like a miracle, but in their eyes, divination is not magical.

Just like making ice from saltpeter, what seemed incredible to modern people is nothing more than saltpeter dissolved in water absorbing a large amount of heat, causing the water to cool down and freeze. It is that simple.

Doomsday Disaster Leaps Over Dragon Gate: Chapter 474 Chapter Straight to the point

However, having said that, the art of divination is still fascinating. After all, technology is the product of the collective efforts of many people, and divination only requires one person, so it is an extremely convenient and useful ability no matter how you think about it.

Unfortunately, Miss Witch had said long ago that she did not have the talent to predict fate. Divination was a similar ability, but it was not something she was meant for.

However, Kato Megumi didn't care about this. After all, the other party said that divination can only get general information about the future in advance. It can predict small things accurately, but it is of no use. The prediction of big things is vague, which makes people confused. Unless one has profound skills and can calculate a ray of secrets from it, no matter how much calculation is made, it cannot change the future destiny.

After all, it is in accordance with the will of heaven. The act of calculating and obtaining the news is also within fate. No one can escape from the will of heaven.

After hearing this, Kato Hui knew that this technique was useless to her. After all, she herself was not under the system of heaven, so how could she follow the will of heaven? Not to mention that she was a person from outside the heaven and was already rejected by the world.

If you think about it carefully, this is not the same as the divination that Miss Witch talked about. For the same long river of destiny, one is to observe the surface and calculate the future blessings and disasters, but how to solve it, how it will come, and what it is specifically, you have no way of knowing, you can only be vigilant and prevent; the other is to explore into the long river, experience the trajectory of destiny personally, and change the traces of the future. Comparing the two, one is prevention and the other is proactive attack. Comparing the two, it is unknown who is good and who is bad.

However, Kato Megumi was still curious about divination. The magician's inquisitiveness prompted her to want to understand this ability. Seeing that the national teacher in front of her was kind and generous, Kato Megumi did not hesitate. With curiosity and doubts in her heart, she asked the other party about divination.

The other party did not keep his own stuff to himself, but patiently explained it to her in detail and analyzed the principles behind it. Although Kato Megumi was confused and did not understand it all, she listened with great interest, and the two of them had a great time.

Many of my doubts about divination have been resolved.

At this point, Kato Megumi finally spoke and got to the point.

"Speaking of which, Hui has to thank Mr. Duan. If it weren't for you, Hui might have suffered some misfortune."

"Oh?"

Seeing the old man raise his eyebrows, Kato Megumi smiled.

"Do you remember the Luck Pearl you gave me hundreds of years ago? You asked Patriarch Xie to give it to the right person hundreds of years later."

Mr. Duan's expression remained calm. He just glanced at Kato Megumi and smiled.

"It seems that this pearl has fallen into the hands of the girl."

"Yes, the beads are very useful to Hui. They solved some of her physical problems. Hui would like to thank you here."

After saying this, Kato Megumi's tone suddenly changed.

"I just don't know how you, Mr. Duan, knew that I would need this pearl? And how did you make sure that Patriarch Xie would meet me? This has been a source of curiosity from the beginning. Because of this pearl, I traveled across mountains and rivers to come to the imperial capital. I wanted to see the appearance of Mr. Guoshi and I wanted you to help me completely cure my physical problems."

"However, fortunately, by chance, Hui's problem was solved, and there is no need for Elder Duan to take action."

Kato Megumi blinked, tilted her head slightly, and was slightly confused.
