"That big lizard with wings that can fly, does this kind of creature really exist?" Grunweit couldn't help shouting. From the conversation between the two, he knew that the two might be wizards or legendary magicians. Oh my God.

, Isn’t this world chaotic enough? For a moment, Grunweit wondered if he was dreaming.

Grove was obviously unhappy: "Aren't you a wizard? That is a derogatory term for dragons in the world. How can you call it a big lizard with wings?"

Liu Zhizhi also laughed and said: "He is indeed not a wizard. He is a student who came out of a training camp in Siberia, but he went to Tunguska to consult the Scottish astrologer Meg."

"No wonder, I said he didn't have that kind of magic power. I thought it was covered up with some secret method, but it turned out to be just a martial artist. Meg, I've heard that astrology is very vague about the future. Even if you see the future, you can't change it.

"What's the use of asking for advice?" Grove said disapprovingly, and then said: "Meg, her horoscope fee is not cheap."

"I can afford the price and have made an appointment with her over the phone. I heard that she is coming to Russia and I just want to go there." Grunweit said, but Liu Zhizhi glanced at him and felt that he did not mean what he said.

"What did you seem to be chasing just now?" Grove asked.

"A flying cat. I thought it was a legend before. Who knew this thing really existed? There are many trees in this place that have been down for who knows how many years. They should be the traces left by the big explosion that day. I wonder if I can find the meteorites left by the big explosion that year."

Something like that." Liu Zhizhi said.

"I'm afraid I can't find it. Regarding the Tunguska explosion, there is actually a saying among us that it was not a natural disaster, but an out-of-control magic experiment." Grove revealed a shocking secret.

Liu Zhizhi couldn't help but stare at Grove: "What, you said it was man-made?"

"This involves Nikolai, a Serbian electric magician. He used the magic circle and the electricity theory at that time to experiment with long-distance energy transmission. He even wanted to use powerful electricity to break through space and start long-distance physical transmission. In order to

Conveniently, the transmission target was set in the uninhabited Tunguska region in the Russian Far East, and energy transmission began in a small area. It went perfectly. However, there was still some energy leakage, causing some abnormalities. Electric lights appeared in the night sky of Moscow. The next day

In the morning, the experiment went out of control, and the powerful energy formed a powerful plasma ball lightning in the Tunguska region, and then exploded. This is the legendary Tunguska explosion, which can be said to be the most powerful explosion in human history." Melov said.

"Is this true or false?" Liu Zhizhi asked doubtfully.

"Who knows, this is also a statement circulated among some wizards, but Nicholas has never made it clear or denied it. Since his death, no one can figure it out." Grove said.

This adds another explanation to the Tunguska explosion, but it is too fantasy for the world, but it makes Liu Zhizhi's heart light up. Regardless of whether it is true or not, there is such a statement among Western wizards, which proves that they have thought of it. In fact,

, Many places in modern Western science and technology grew up from alchemy. Newton was also a fan of alchemy in his later years. It is said that he spent twenty years studying alchemy. Liu Zhizhi did not know whether there were any results.

When he saw some of Newton's deeds in the past, he made many similar statements. This may be true. A great scientist like Newton has no end to his exploration of knowledge.

For Liu Zhizhi, Western wizards have a very in-depth study of matter. This is similar to his idea of ​​investigating objects, but it is also fundamentally different. Liu Zhizhi’s investigation of objects feeds back on himself what he gets from the exploration of external objects, so that

He went further, but Western alchemy and the like eventually gave birth to disciplines like chemistry, completely moving toward foreign objects.

However, Liu Zhizhi could learn something useful from it. Will he pay more attention to this aspect in the future? When Liu Zhizhi thought about this, he revised the direction of his future practice.

Since the three of them had the same destination, they joined together. Liu Zhizhi and Grover chatted along the way. He was not clear about the Western practice system. After communicating with Grover, Liu Zhizhi had a general understanding of Western practice.

Understand that before Christianity became dominant in the West, a hundred flowers bloomed, but what is different from China is that they all believed in gods in their practice. From the original various beliefs, they formed a rich practice method, such as the Nordic system of nature, power and thunder and lightning.

A system based on the Book of the Dead; another system also formed near Greece, which is the legendary system of Olympus gods; another system also formed in Egypt, with the Book of the Dead as the main practice system; and the Babylonian system, these systems have the same

The characteristics are all based on faith and prayer. The only difference is that due to the formation of philosophy, Greece gradually formed a group that gave up belief in gods, thus forming a system dominated by rational light and based on the pursuit of truth, which advanced hand in hand in the secular and spiritual circles.

.

But the good times did not last long. As Christianity finally unified its beliefs, other existences became heretics. At the beginning of Christianity, there were other systems to compete with it. Later, as one family became dominant, the practice methods inherited from other systems also became

With a layer of Christianity and some spiritual systems unwilling to do so, they were defined as heretics. Especially in the Middle Ages, this persecution reached an extreme level.

In particular, the notorious Inquisition had a large number of masters. At this time, the practice system was basically controlled by Christianity. This also resulted in that so far, Western practitioners more or less believe in God, even those on the dark side.

Satan, and few people believe in other gods. Fundamentally speaking, whether it is God or Satan, they are just two sides of the Christian faith.

Christianity has no other rivals. On the one hand, it expanded eastward and encountered Islam. On the other hand, it began to split internally and there were many sects. The big ones were divided into three branches, Protestantism, Catholicism and Orthodoxy. The other smaller ones were even more diverse. Among the big sects,

Furthermore, it is said that there are 38,000 of them, but there are about 20 that have a greater influence.

Romania belongs to the Orthodox Church, but from his words, Grove could feel that although he believed in the Orthodox Church in name, it was actually just a habit and he did not have that kind of fanatical belief in the religion. He even talked about it with Liu Zhizhi

The Necromancer, Liu Zhizhi had heard of the Necromancer before, and had seen a lot of imaginary descriptions in some fantasy novels. When Grover mentioned the Necromancer, he became interested and asked: "Is there really a Necromancer?"

Mage?"

"Of course there is. Necromancers are actually a group of researchers who are extremely interested in living things. When the world hears this name, they think they are evil. They were also the focus of the Inquisition in the Middle Ages to arrest a group of people. But strictly speaking, modern civilization has nothing to do with them.

It has a lot to do with it. They can be seen everywhere in the Renaissance. For example, the necromancer Leonardo lived in Italy in the 15th and 16th centuries. He stole corpses many times and performed human dissections. Modern physiology was largely pioneered by them.

, modern medicine also has their outstanding contributions, and they have leaked a lot of knowledge about the human body." Grove said.

"The necromancers you mentioned seem to be a type of scholar. Can they control skeletons?" Liu Zhizhi asked with interest.

"Of course, they can even piece together different creatures. Of course, these beings are either skeletons or zombies, and they are also good at manipulating ghosts and the like." Grove said: "By the way, China's situation is relatively unique, and it has developed

We have completely different cultivation systems. I am very curious. I have also studied your system. Although you also have gods, and even practice to the end and become a god-like existence, you have an invisible Tao as the core."

"Yes, according to what he just described, China is a different system. From ancient times to the present, China has never seen an era of true theocracy. The priesthood, an important class in the development of your civilization, has long withdrawn from the stage. The secular world has

It is very practical and focuses on survival in this world rather than the afterlife. Later, when Buddhism was introduced, it did not change the general trend. Instead, it assimilated and transformed Buddhism to form a unique Zen culture. This concept is also adhered to in the spiritual world. The pursuit is not the afterlife, but the present world.

The detachment directly transcends the nature of life, in order to get rid of the constraints of heaven and earth, seek the road, and gain liberation. In a word, advocating that my destiny is not controlled by heaven. On the other hand, it is also natural harmony. The Chinese gods are just higher-level lives.

, not the master of this world." Liu Zhizhi said.

"It's really a unique thought. It's no wonder that the practice system is different from ours. Although they both start from the spiritual point of view, the difference in thinking leads to completely different directions." Groff sighed.

"Indeed." Liu Zhizhi also nodded in agreement: "Chinese cultivation system focuses on itself and does not value external things. This may be the reason why Chinese cultivation did not give birth to modern civilization. Your alchemy eventually gave birth to modern chemistry, and

Our alchemy and alchemy can be said to be the same type of techniques, but they did not give birth to modern civilization, and instead turned to refining the elixir of immortality, while your alchemy turned to turning iron into gold and other worldly wealth."

"It makes sense. In Christian thought, the pursuit of immortality is stealing the power of God. It is a serious blasphemous act. Therefore, the pursuit of immortality has become a heresy, but the desire for immortality has nothing to do with it.

Since birth, many magicians have secretly worked in this direction, especially those called black magicians, who are now much more enlightened. Historically, it is not that no one has lived longer, one is to transform into a vampire, and the other is to transform into a vampire.

One is to use alchemy to create the philosopher's stone, as is the case with the magician and alchemist Nico Flamel," Grove said.

Liu Zhizhi knew Nicolas Flamel, an alchemist born in France in the 14th century. He appeared in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". The Philosopher's Stone is what alchemists call a philosopher.

Stone, he knew how to make the magic stone. For centuries, people claimed to have seen him because he was said to be immortal. Today in Paris, Nicolas Flamel still has a street named after him and his wife Perenelle.

And Grunweit could only listen to the conversation between the two. Many things he had never heard of, and even many names he had never heard. At this moment, the ground shook rhythmically, as if a huge thing was rushing towards them.
