Harry Potter’s Morning Light
Chapter 999: "Suspicious"
Chapter 999 "Suspicious Clouds"
After visiting the interior of the monastery, Joseph somewhat understood why people moved it from Bavaria intact.
The decoration in the monastery is very gorgeous, and there is also a magnificent baptistery, which makes it hard to believe that this is a small-town monastery.
The shape of the baptistery is nothing special. It is just an ordinary octagonal shape, but the inside is inlaid with golden mosaics. There are large sculptures of real people around the baptistery, all of which are covered with gold. There is also a pipe organ on the second floor. , There is a golden angel relief on it.
This baptistery can not only bathe babies, but adults can also walk in along the steps. There is a rose window on the wall facing the baptistery. It doesn't seem like a small monastery can afford it. Perhaps only the rose window of Notre Dame de Paris can match it.
As described in secular literature, a poor place often has an insatiable bishop. Before the Reformation, the corruption problem in the church was really serious.
It is impossible for a bad person to become a good Franciscan monk. The Franciscan monks’ robes are brown, and the Benedictines are black. Some people even say that the benefits of the monks are not as good as the corpses. Let the land become fertile, and the monks will only eat greedily, exhausting the fertility of the land.
It takes a lot of money to build such a monastery, but it is not as meticulously crafted as Cologne Cathedral and St. Peter’s Cathedral, and it takes hundreds of years to build.
To attract people, one should either enshrine sacred objects or make the church look like a work of art.
Da Vinci deliberately drew eels when he was in the cafeteria of the Dominican monastery.
The artist is like this, somewhat cynical, he seems to want to use this method to satirize the church and the princes and nobles who pursue luxury but do not abide by the rules of the way of life.
To see the painting, the tourists now go to the church.
After having that gorgeous altar, the monastery may not have enough energy to decorate the dining hall, and the walls are only painted with white ash. The food is quite plentiful. The food placed in front of Joseph is the homemade pasta with tomato and basil sauce and garlic toast.
Alex did not bite Brother Howard’s carotid artery, but his face was **** and **** and scared Howard had a heart attack.
Regardless of whether Alex is sick or not, a person died in the monastery. His funeral needs to be dealt with. It is not to dig a pit. Put him in the coffin and it is all done.
In this atmosphere, no one had the mood to eat. The monks were quiet and left after eating. There was no conversation at all. It was even more boring than the church orphanage where Joseph had stayed before.
The only person who looks as usual is the former exorcist.
Martin Luther wrote in his translation of the "New Testament": The best source of knowledge of Christianity is the Gospel of John and Romans, especially the first Peter, because these books do not mention miracles. But these books are so good to mention how faith saves people from fire and water. This is where the gospel is.
Constantine quoted this sentence when he was teaching him. In the 16th century, "miracles" existed every day, everywhere, and everyone knew it, and they were everywhere in literary works.
The religious publications issued by these churches are full of magical stories, astronomical wonders, and miracles of healing diseases. Although some of these miracles may really be miracles of God, they are also full of man-made miracles, Erasmus and Martin Road. Dedu sneered at this "miracle".
The role of science is to explain the principles of these “miracles”, but whether it is the mysterious celestial phenomenon in the small town of Fatima or the magical healing effect of Lourdes Spring, these are beyond modern science.
There are some things no one dared to say, and it is understandable that this former exorcist was demoted to this remote mountain monastery.
The practice of gaining believers by propagating miracles has been used by the church hundreds of years ago, but most modern people do not know this. Their impression of the church is still in the heretical court, sending innocent women and scientists to fire. The persecuted ignorant cardinal, and the greedy, gluttonous monastery dean.
If you don’t understand that period of history and the people of the church, it’s easy to be confused. Once confused, it’s easy to be misled. If you are controlled by someone, your thoughts will be controlled and your behavior will be controlled.
People always say that the church promotes theology and confines people’s thoughts.
Not all people who oppose the Holy See will be sent to the torture frame. Michelangelo painted the priest in the **** of the Sistine Chapel and was not sentenced to death.
For the popes, it is more important to deal with civil strife and annihilate Protestants than to deal with Galileo, but for future generations, Galileo’s persecution is more important than civil strife and religious reform. When he was imprisoned in the Medici Villa, the church He didn't restrain Galileo's thoughts.
The common sense of ordinary people is not that what others say is what they say, but that they are selected, and this choice is based on their own understanding.
In ancient Greece, people believed that the earth was round. Later people believed that the earth was flat and round. How can the people on the opposite side stand?
If the explanation is not clear, no one will believe it. More and more people believe that the earth is flat and that there is an end to the world. Finally, the earth is flat has become common knowledge.
As for the Little Ice Age, people in the Middle Ages did not understand, they only saw the weather getting worse and the harvest less and less.
Not everyone can be like Job, who can still maintain faith even when he is poor and sick.
When the angels descend, people can feel hope and courage, as if they have heard a requiem.
When the devil appears, people will have a feeling of being stared at.
In Bavaria 400 years ago, some people took a fancy to the land and conspiracy continued.
The "coward" who claimed to have participated in the ritual of worshipping the devil and involved more than 200 local nobles. Is he a real coward, or is he a messenger of the devil?
The new dean of the monastery was executed by the church. The original abbot died in that weird serial murder. Are they the same as the Salem Witch Trial? The so-called "obsessed" was because they had eaten ergot bacteria. food?
Joseph stirred the fork and looked at the red pasta in front of him. One of the victims of the seven deadly killers that David Mills met was also eating this.
"Not to your appetite?" Seeing Joseph hadn't moved his fork, Abbey Sean couldn't help asking.
Although he vowed to take responsibility for the accident, Sean was actually an ordinary monk who escorted Alex to the hospital.
"Where is the nearest village to the monastery?" Joseph asked.
"If the weather is good and the donkey is strong enough, it can be there in half a day," said Xiao En.
"Donkey?"
"We are not open to traffic here."
"How do the believers usually come?"
"The main belief in Montenegro is the Greek sect. Few people come to our monastery to pray."
Joseph’s face changed.
"When did the Pope say you can go back?" Sean asked with concern.
"After the investigation is completed."
Shaun showed a weird expression.
"What's the problem?"
"Nothing." Sean turned his head and stared at the noodles on his plate. "I will take you to your room after lunch."
Joseph looked at Sean suspiciously, then looked down at the face on the fork, frowned and ate it.
The taste is unexpectedly good.
This may be the reason why the wine made in the monastery tastes so good.
The monks have nothing else to do except to study how to make the wine more delicious. All this is for life.
=======================================
Mills and Anthony went to the funeral home after taking a nap. The owner of the funeral home seemed to know Anthony very well, and was so affectionate that he shook hands and hugs him. Neither of them spoke English, but seemed to be Russian.
"What are we doing here?" David asked after the funeral home owner left.
Anthony smiled mysteriously at him and looked quietly behind the black curtain. Not long after, the boss pushed a car out.
This car is specially used to move corpses. Unlike the hospital beds, there are no soft pillows and sheets, only cold stainless steel. The car is covered with white cloth. You can see the bulge, which looks like a woman lying underneath.
Mills was really afraid that she would suddenly sit up with a "wow".
After pushing the car in front of Anthony, the boss lifted the white cloth, revealing a young girl's face.
"Just as you booked." The funeral home owner said.
Anthony bends down and closely observes the girl's face, as if a businessman is distinguishing the authenticity of the jewelry.
"Well, it's her." Anthony said with satisfaction, "Thank you for your help."
"You are welcome." The owner of the funeral home smiled and said, "I'm glad I can help."
"What happened?" Mills asked in confusion.
Anthony glanced at Mills, then turned to say something to the boss, and the boss turned and left.
"You said that Angela's mother was unwilling to dissect." Anthony stared at Mills and said, "So, we need to take care of it."
"what?"
"This is an idiom, which means to graft branches or buds of one kind of flowers and trees onto another kind of flowers and trees. I plan to use this corpse instead of Angela's corpse to be buried."
"What!" Mills' voice rose unconsciously.
"Parents only need a corpse to lie in the tomb for their mourning. They don't know the value of Angela's body. I don't want to waste it in such a wasteful way."
"Where did you get this corpse!" Mills pointed to the girl lying in the car and said, she did look very similar to Angela's body shape.
"People die every day in this city. Not everyone mourns. The city government will give the funeral home a sum of money to dispose of these corpses and give them a decent funeral. While you are sleeping, I called my friend and he is here. There happened to be a body that met the requirements."
"My God." Mills shouted up to the sky, "You did this..."
"Immoral? I know, like doctors in the Middle Ages, if they don't go to the cemetery to smash the body, how can the students dissect it?" Anthony interrupted Mills and said plausibly, "I need to confirm my inference, you help me?"
Mills spread his hand.
"The magic remaining on Angela's body will disappear over time, just like when we look at her eyes. I can't wait for her to be buried before digging it out. I remember her neck was sprained."
"So, don't you plan to let them exchange their heads?"
Faced with Mills’s doubts, Anthony did not speak.
"My God, do you really think so?"
"The color of their body hair is the same." Anthony said.
"My God, you are crazy!" Mills cursed.
"You can go, when nothing happened." Anthony said calmly.
"Aren't you afraid that I will tell the police?"
"Will you? David?" Anthony said with a smile.
"Do you think I dare not?"
"The coward dare not shoot like you. I told you that I want to be friends with you. I can do this behind your back, but friends need to be sincere, so I brought you here."
"Friends don't need to be sincere in everything, privacy, privacy, do you know!" Mills held his head and walked around in the funeral home.
"You told me about my privacy, and I told you about mine. This is fair, not to mention that if I only told you about my plan, you would think I was joking."
"are you serious?"
Anthony looked at the female body.
"I just don't want to be fooled." After a long time, Anthony said, "This is the reason I chose to become a psychologist instead of a plastic surgeon."
