Chapter 1825 Witches and Demons Guild (1)

Hagrid once said to Harry: At Hogwarts, if you need help, there will always be someone to help.

But asking for help in the world outside Hogwarts is not always possible.

When Albus needed help, he sent Hagrid to contact the giant - bringing a gift.

So when someone offers help for free, it should be considered a form of generosity.

"His soul is not here." Zhang Tao said after opening the eyelids of Alejandro who was lying unconscious on the bed.

"I know, the goblin has told me." Severus said from the side, "Is there any way you can put his soul back?"

Zhang Tao stared at Severus for a while, then walked to the sink nearby and washed his hands.

"Do you know the difference between possession and obsession? Mr. Smith?" Zhang Tao asked while washing his hands.

"Demonology is not my specialty," Severus replied.

"Professor Dumbledore once talked to me. During the Battle of the Ministry of Magic, he believed that the Dark Lord briefly possessed the body of young Mr. Potter and made him say, 'You lose, old man.'

According to Professor Lido, haunting means that the devil attacks a person's body from the outside, while possession means that the devil controls the person's body from the inside, but the controlled person's soul is still in his or her body, similar to Mr. Porter's situation.

, this young man’s soul is not in his own body, nor is it occupied by other souls. I believe that what he is encountering now is not the two situations we mentioned before.”

"What is that?" Severus asked.

"In my country, this situation is called 'lost soul', which means that the soul leaves the body due to fright, but this situation is more common in children. This young gentleman is obviously an adult." Zhang Tao turned the faucet, and then

Asked, "So I want to ask, did he do anything special?"

"What do you mean?" Severus asked.

Zhang Tao wiped his hands with a white handkerchief and seemed to be thinking about how to phrase his words.

"During the Salem incident in 1692, witnesses once mentioned that Black Masses were held and red bread and wine were used."

"He didn't attend the Black Mass," Severus had to say firmly.

"I think those who provided confessions wanted to express that they participated in the Black Mass, but eating red bread is not part of the Black Mass. They just wanted to express their blasphemy." Zhang Tao put down the handkerchief in his hand.

"These are the dissenters who regard anything that is contrary to sacred ritual as evil."

Severus watched Zhang Tao walk to the coffee table and pour two cups of tea.

"This kind of ritual was very common in Paris in the past, and priests later participated in it, but it was largely an immoral carnival. They did not summon or create anything during the ritual..."

"Wait, what did you say?" Severus asked in surprise.

"Those people who appeared at the Louvre a few days ago, they almost summoned things from hell." Zhang Tao said, "No matter shouting 'in the name of the devil' or 'glory to Lucifer', they could not produce such a result.

, the essence of the Mass is a kind of sacrifice, and the content of sacrifices is mentioned in the Pentateuch, usually cattle, sheep and other animals. On the night when Louis XVI was executed, a large group of people held a secret ceremony."

"You mean human sacrifice?" Severus asked.

"What do you think are the chances of taking a king as a sacrifice?" Zhang Tao asked, "Witches are often related to the gates of hell. In French, it is le sabbat et la herse infernale. Sometimes they will 'invite' demons to enter their

Body, since you know Dumbledore and is a person related to Hogwarts, then I think you know Professor Quirrell. If two souls are in one body, and the other is not strong enough to fight against outsiders, he

The body will be taken away, but it will not emit a bad smell. On the contrary, it will become very smelly due to excessive consumption..."

"Dumbledore has a different view than you." Severus said, "It's because the Dark Lord used dark magic and there is something wrong with his soul."

"This is another characteristic of you Westerners, focusing on judgment." Zhang Tao handed a cup of green tea to Severus. "Black is black, white is white. You always stand in the position of judge."

Severus smiled and took the tea "Where are you Orientals?"

"There once was a man named Wei Zheng." Zhang Tao said, "He was an important minister under Tian Khan Li Shimin. One day, someone accused him of protecting his relatives. Tian Khan sent people to investigate the matter thoroughly and found that it was

The informant distorted the facts, so Tian Khan said to Wei Zheng, "You have spoken out about hundreds of things. How could I deny you so many benefits just because of this trivial matter? But from now on, you must not fail to behave yourself."

A few days later, the Khan asked Wei Zheng if he had found anything wrong. Wei Zheng said, "A few days ago, your Majesty asked someone to tell you why you didn't check your words and deeds." This is not right. I heard that the monarch and his ministers

There is a congenial spirit between them, which is equivalent to a whole body in theory. It has never been heard of people who do not have justice in their hearts and only check their own behavior, words and deeds. If the monarch and his ministers all abide by such behavioral requirements, it will be difficult to know the rise and fall of the country.

They are divided into loyal ministers and good ministers. The loyal ministers allow themselves to be punished, but bring infamy to the emperor, and bring great infamy to themselves and the country, while they themselves have an empty reputation as loyal ministers. The good ministers make themselves and the emperor and merchants gain a good reputation.

I heard that there was a man named Snape next to Dumbledore, and he had always been obsessed with dark magic."

"Do you think he is a loyal minister or a good minister?" Severus asked again.

Zhang Tao took a sip of tea, but smiled and said nothing.

"So, this is how you Easterners look at things?" Severus asked.

"In ancient my country, there was a famous tyrant, King Zhou. He killed many innocent people, so he was opposed by many people. Those who participated in the Black Mass sacrificed innocent people as sacrifices. These imaginations were abandoned by reason. Creating unimaginable monsters, every time I deal with them is like a nightmare. Sometimes I really want to sleep forever like Albus." Zhang Tao stared at his cup, "Can I have someone like Snape? Assistants are a blessing.”

Severus looked at Zhang Tao calmly.

"While traveling in India, I once talked with a yoga master. He felt that our moral values ​​and concepts of good and evil are always distorted and changed from generation to generation. We will adjust accordingly to whatever is convenient for the moment. People always

Debate about what is good and what is evil, between societies, between generations, between individuals, 4 people in a family, 4 people may have 4 different moral standards, but these are actually

Cover up, 'hypocrites' always pretend under the guise of morality, and they have to act out what should be revealed naturally. If you are a blooming flower, the fragrance will come out, and there is no need to light the spices. Those who have finally succeeded in maintaining

For people with moral standards, one thing will always happen, that is, no one wants to be close to them. People don't mind being with immoral people. These people are full of 'life', while people who abide by moral standards are lifeless. The more

The more people who think they are good people are less likely to approach them, because the views of morality, good and evil are essentially derived from comparison with other people, how can I come to the conclusion that 'I am a good person'?" Zhang Tao pointed at Silver.

Les "You're a bad person."

Then he pointed at Alejandro, "He is also a bad person, and the owner of this massage parlor, he is also a bad person, compared with all these people, I am a good person, that is to say, if I do not treat these people

I have no basis to call myself a good person or a bad person. The more you think you are a good person, the more you will notice that no one is a good person. And if no one is a good person, this is not a question of virtue, but crazy.

The problem is, the first manifestation of mental disorder is that everyone is abnormal except myself, but conversely, in the eyes of everyone, I am actually the abnormal one."

"Dumbledore is indeed quite crazy." Severus also took a sip of tea. "Have you seen his robes?"

"In view of this, I will not evaluate a person based on pure good or evil. You know, if a newborn child does not have knowledge related to the human world, he will not be able to survive as an ordinary person when he grows up, no matter in the jungle.

Wolf boys are still princes in the palace. When they first come into contact with fire, they don’t know anything. They will imitate the people around them. The wolf will run away when they see fire. The wolf boy will run away when he sees fire. The princes see Gong E making fire.

, they will also know that fire can keep warm, but they don’t know how hot the fire is. If you touch it with your hands, you will be burned. There is a famous saying, curiosity is the driving force for progress. Many children have the same curiosity. We in the East

Parents will tell their children what is forbidden, but the West does not. You let your children touch the fire and know the pain, but you don't let the children be afraid of the fire. You call this more mature and tempered.

reason."

"I don't understand." Severus frowned.

"What I am expressing to you now is my understanding of your model. You may have heard of 'governing by doing nothing', but have you heard of 'doing without fighting'?"

"No." Severus said frankly.

"The way of heaven is to benefit without harm, and the way of saints is to work without fighting. We tell children what they cannot do and do not compete with them. You cultivate a competitive spirit, which causes people to dare not relax for a moment.

, you must always make yourself stronger to avoid being weaker than others, and you will have no time to have children." Zhang Tao said, "In a world of great competition, having an uncontested heart will only lead to self-destruction, but now competition

It is too intense, leaving people no time to take care of other things, including starting a family and having children. We have an idiom, "Everything must be reversed when it reaches its extreme." Rather than holding a critical attitude and feeling that the East is a threat, shouldn't you teach your children how to control themselves rationally?

concepts and set some limits for them.”

"I tried." Severus said with a smile. "You don't know how much young people nowadays love to hang out at school at night."

Zhang Tao looked at Severus calmly.

"Machiavelli believed that a good minister is a minister who ruins his reputation for the sake of the king rather than patronizing his own good reputation. But I have to say, it feels disgusting to be that kind of a good minister! Even if he later became

The king of the castle." Severus gritted his teeth and said, "Many people think he is a great man, and I thought so too, but he is too cruel to me. He doesn't love anyone and can take advantage of anyone.

Even including himself, except for his sister Arianna and Grindelwald."

"Grindelwald?" Zhang Tao asked strangely.

"Don't you know? Albus Dumbledore is a homosexual." Severus showed his yellow teeth and said with a smile, "And the Dark Lord Grindelwald who was defeated by him was his lover, and you don't want to do it now either."

Criticize him? Zhang?"

After saying this, Severus swallowed the tea in the cup.

Suddenly I realized that when the Olympic Games opened, all I wrote were stuff from the underworld. It was so appropriate for the occasion, and it was so chilling that I almost sent me away.
