Chapter 2303. The Copying System 20

Han Zifeng pointed into the cave and said, "Let's thoroughly dry everything inside and out. It's a 'corpse-gathering ground,' literally meaning a pile of corpses thrown into a lake, the kind that's been there for decades."

Jinwu nodded, and indeed transformed into a small sun, running into the cave to burn. Zifeng said to Jinwu, "Just burn that thing on the central island." Jinwu carried it out quickly.

Kreacher, however, asked, "Could you give that necklace to Kreacher?"

Zi Feng nodded and said, "Oh, Golden Crow, leave the necklace." Kreacher teleported back, and a necklace appeared in his hand. After confirming that there was no Yin energy inside, Zi Feng told Golden Crow to boil the water dry. Surprisingly, although it was flowing lake water, evaporating it was still easy.

After the place was cleaned, Zifeng asked Snape, the workaholic, to bring in seawater from outside and pour it back in. Snape asked speechlessly, "Why am I the one doing all the work?"

Zi Feng shrugged and said, "Lily, you go."

Snape pinched his nose and went to work; one trip would be enough anyway. Lily chuckled to herself, and Sirius suddenly realized that he really was the most useless one.

After Zifeng and Lily finished absorbing the soul fragments from the floating corpses, they asked Jinwu to roast the corpses for them. Once they were sure the corpses had turned into bones, Zifeng belatedly asked, "By the way, do you know their names? How should we prepare them for this monument?"

Snape looked at the Golden Crow and said, "No, I've wanted to ask this for a long time. Wouldn't it be easier to just burn it to ashes?"

Zifeng looked at Lily, and Lily nodded: "Yes, why not burn it to ashes?"

Sirius said, "Um, I wanted to ask that too."

Zi Feng sighed and said, "Well, in the East, people believe that one should be buried in the ground for peace; even bones should be buried in the earth."

Sirius shrugged: "Oh, you can burn them to ashes, then dig a hole to fill it in, put up a floating tombstone, and you're done."

Zi Feng looked at Jin Wu, Jin Wu looked at Zi Feng, and Zi Feng shrugged: "Let's get started."

At that moment, Fawkes appeared with Dumbledore. Dumbledore looked at the group and then directly asked Snape, "Explain yourself?"

Snape replied, "Regulus has come out, and now all that's left is to bury the body. Due to regional differences, the issue of burying the body is being discussed."

Dumbledore looked at the skeleton on the ground and asked speechlessly, "What's inside?"

Snape replied, "Oh, the fake is in the hands of the little elves at Silly Dog's house, and the lake inside has been refilled."

Dumbledore scoffed, "You guys are that fast?" The others nodded in unison. Dumbledore was even more speechless. Looking at the bones on the ground, he had the phoenix give them a poke of fire, and sure enough, they were burned to ashes. So, they just buried them?!

Zi Feng thought for a moment, then said to Snape and Lily, "Oh, if you're going to the East, remember to bury the bones if conditions allow. We don't support you doing that. That's called scattering ashes, something neither the righteous nor the evil factions in the East can bear. This is important, it'll be on the test."

Snape: "So that's it, reduced to ashes?"

Zi Feng nodded and replied, "If it's not treason or death from disease, the whole body is usually buried, and if possible, there are offerings nearby. Well, burying ashes is only becoming popular in China now, and even then it's just a small piece, not all ash. Within the entire territory of China, try to avoid burning corpses if possible; you might get attacked by a group of people for that, which is called the crime of insulting a corpse. At the very least, each person should be buried in a small box. This pile of ash is too low-class."

Snape was quite clever; he immediately knew where the punch was coming from. He turned to Lily and began to instruct her, though his tone was much more Gryffindor-esque. Lily understood the differences between Eastern and Western cultures.

Lily retorted earnestly, "Death doesn't reside in these bones."

Zifeng scratched his head and said, "My family doesn't want the dead either, but it's a matter of respect for the dead. After all, in my hometown, would anyone dare to treat the dead like this? Well, think about it, if just anyone dug up James's bones, burned them like this, and scattered them, how would you feel?"

Lily: "Death Curse~!"

Sirius Black also said: "Death Curse!"

Zi Feng quipped, "So, Gryffindor's ultimate goal is Slytherin?!" Snape couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Dumbledore roared, "No, you two are one thing, but Lily, what's wrong with you?"

Zi Feng complained, "Oh, Lily's learning heretical cultivation techniques from Snape. Wait, Lily, you need to control your mental state. There are Slytherins waiting for you to keep an eye on them."

Snape had completely let loose, his shoulders shaking as he burst into laughter. Lily rolled her eyes at him and said, "Since we're infiltrating, it's okay to be a little ruthless."

Zi Feng and Dumbledore both looked at Snape with questioning eyes. Zi Feng earnestly complained, "Old Dumbledore, is this why you insisted on pairing Lily with Poot? Are you afraid Snape will blow up Hogwarts?"

Dumbledore was at a loss for words and felt incredibly awkward. Zifeng casually plucked a feather from Fawkes. Fawkes looked at her with a mournful expression, while she instantly teleported to the Hufflepuff Cup.

Staring at the infinitely replicating golden cup, Zi Feng fell silent, his mind filled with only one thought: "Is Voldemort an idiot? What's the point of this infinite replication?"

With a swift movement, he pulled Hufflepuff's golden cup into his hand, then teleported again to Snape's side, saying, "Here, wash it and give it to Dumbledore."

Snape complained, "What happened to the promised wireless copying?"

Zi Feng rolled her eyes at him and said, "Let's study the clone technique. Compared to the clone technique, the copying magic is a bit of a challenge. Besides, I already have a copying system on me. Finding the real thing is as easy as having eyes."

Snape rolled his eyes and went to get the potion bottle, while Zi Feng, too lazy to climb the stairs, held Fawkes' tail feather and said casually, "Come to the Potions classroom to deliver a package."

Snape rolled his eyes and asked, "No, is that how its feathers are used?"

He had barely finished asking when a ball of fire appeared beside Zi Feng, and Fawkes was already in position. He gave Fawkes a speechless look, cleaned the soul off the golden cup, and then handed the cup to Fawkes, saying, "To Dumbledore."

Fox looked resentfully at the two unpaid laborers. Zi Feng reached out his hand towards Phoenix, and with a whoosh, Fox decisively chose to vanish on the spot. Snape shook his head helplessly.

Zifeng asked, "Will you go get the diary, or should I?"

Snape scratched his head and said, "Go ahead, you'll be back soon anyway." Zi Feng pouted, unhappy.
