Chapter 1830 The Witches and Demons Association (6)

When Severus returned to the massage parlor, Zhang Tao had already decorated it with a "ghostly atmosphere".

The lights had been turned off, and only one candle was lit in the room. The whole room was filled with a rich fragrance, which seemed to be emitted by the incense he lit.

It was already a bit hot at the end of June, but now this place has become as cool as the catacombs, and the yellow light that was originally in the topaz flew out at this time, flying around the room like smoke, and placed on the table.

Foods such as wine and fruits are constantly hovering on top.

"They have no ill intentions." Zhang Tao said to Severus, "It's just that no one has been offering sacrifices to them."

"What?" Severus asked in a daze.

"The priests once had a dispute with us over the issue of sacrifice." Zhang Tao replied, "Voltaire said that Confucius was a philosopher who talked about secular philosophy, not a religionist. The sacrificial rituals he prescribed were more of a way to worship ghosts and gods.

awe, rather than really borrowing any strength from them. If your Western humanistic spirit is Greece and Rome, our humanistic spirit is the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. What we emphasize is not flamboyant individuality, but collective and ethical

The ritual of worshiping the heaven is a collective activity for us, and it has nothing to do with piety or lack of piety. When we worship the heaven and earth, we hope that God will bless us with good weather, and when we worship the ancestors, we hope that the ancestors will protect the safety of our family. So we don’t quite understand your intention to express this.

Piety, even if your God does not bring you any benefits, and even makes an agreement with the devil to test your piety by torturing you, why do you still believe in it so much?"

"I'm sorry." Severus was in a daze. "What are you talking about?"

"There are sculptures of wolves on the banks of the Tiber River, and there is Athena in Greece. Why can't the common people believe in the city god and the earth god? Anyway, they are the patron saints of the city." Zhang Tao asked.

"I think that's because the Church is monotheistic," Severus said dryly.

"Before Amitabha left, another Hallelujah came. These people all pay attention to spiritual practice and don't care about the secular world." Zhang Tao said teasingly, "The reason for opposing these small beliefs is that they are worried that offering sacrifices to them will weaken their respect for heaven and earth. We have

There is a proverb, "Heaven knows and the earth knows that you know and I know." When you do bad things, don't think that no one knows. God is watching. This is similar to the presence of God, but we are afraid of God's punishment.

You feel that you have been blessed by God."

"You want to discuss this with me now?" Severus asked.

"What I want to tell you is that I am tied up here, just like the European priests are tied up over there. Tang Nowang became the prison guard of Qintian Prison for the convenience of preaching, but he encountered opposition from his own people. Our thoughts

It is indeed more secular, unlike Christianity which has a strict theory of annihilation of desire, so I don’t understand what these European priests think.”

“What else can we do if we don’t pray to the gods for sacrifice?”

"I told you, it was a group activity."

Zhang Tao and Severus were relatively speechless, feeling that each other was an alien.

"What you want to say is that after talking so much, it may not work in the end, right?" Severus asked.

"You British people used to hold séances, and the 'spiritual mediums' were usually women." Zhang Tao said, "The witches in Hong Kong are also women. It's easier for women to do this than for us. Now there are three men in this room, and they are so yang-y.

…”

Severus didn't want to hear that much at all, so he directly handed the stone he just got to Zhang Tao.

"Do you know what this is?"

Zhang Tao did not touch the stone, but looked at it with Severus' hand.

"Stone?"

"I know this is stone, can you tell anything else from your 'eastern' perspective?" Severus hissed.

"The earth is so big and there are so many rocks, how do I know?" Zhang Tao asked.

"Do you know what Dumbledore would say when faced with this situation?" Severus said vividly, "'I thought you had other more important things to do, Professor. Everyone has their own areas of expertise.

, researching the origin of a stone should be left to geologists'."

"Do you hate him?" Zhang Tao asked.

"I don't think it's obvious?" Severus said angrily. "I got this stone from someone I knew before. He got it from the Alps just like my buckler."

Yeah, that ancient alchemist didn't keep ordinary things in his warehouse."

"I have a better idea." Zhang Tao said, bringing the Ouija board over. "How about we ask her?"

Severus looked at Medusa on the Ouija board, she was looking at them fiercely.

After all, she was not a real Medusa and had no ability to petrify people, but Severus still removed the gum from her mouth.

"Devil!!" Medusa yelled as soon as she regained the ability to speak, "You scum!!"

Severus sealed her mouth shut with gum again.

"Please stay calm." Severus threatened slowly, "Otherwise I don't mind burning you directly."

"I don't advocate the use of torture." Zhang Tao said at the side, "The testimony obtained through beatings may not be true."

Severus stared at Zhang Tao.

"Rousseau once said, 'My madness will only hurt myself.' What conditions do you want to impose?" Zhang Tao asked.

Medusa's expression changed.

At this time Severus removed the gum from her mouth, and this time Medusa did not yell.

"I don't want to be with you." Medusa said, "You don't understand respect and courtesy at all."

"I know a place you can go," Severus said. "There is a Room of Requirement at Hogwarts. You can go and stay there."

"I believe there is enough space there," Zhang Tao said.

"Even the garbage dump is better than your pocket, which is full of dead animals and cockroaches." Medusa stared at Severus and said, "It's disgusting."

Severus smiled weirdly with his mouth full of yellow teeth. Medusa ignored him and looked at Zhang Tao and said, "At first we thought it was a meteorite. The owner put it in the warehouse and ignored it.

It never spoke to us, until one day, when the master’s servant was chatting with someone, he mentioned that this stone might come from that city.”

"The city he's been looking for?" Severus asked.

"That's right." Medusa replied.

"He didn't mention Paris?" Severus asked again.

"No." Medusa replied, "The other treasures have been taken away, leaving it untouched."

"And you." Severus reminded with a smile.

"I can tell you that what you are doing now is impossible to name. I can tell you how to do it, as long as you restore the board to its original state." Medusa said.

"Why?" Zhang Tao asked.

"Those elves told me, don't think that if you set a trap, no one will fall for it." Medusa stared at Zhang Tao and said, "He is very powerful for us."

"Do you know his name?" Severus asked.

"I won't tell you, but I know who can." Medusa replied, "This is my condition, what do you think?"
