Chapter 20: The Philosopher's Stone and the Jindan Avenue
The long night was long, and there was no intention of sleeping, and in a blink of an eye, the Christmas holiday was over, and all the students returned to school, and then began to devote their energy to preparing for the final exam, as for Chu Nan, who had no exam pressure, he had plenty of time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
So Chu Nan came to Haigrid, who was also lonely, and in order to pass the time, Chu Nan told Hagrid about the only copy of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" from the four-eyed Taoist.
Although the lone book is also a part of the secrets of heaven and earth, it is much more detailed than the seriously mutilated version that circulated in later generations, at least there are not so many contradictions.
"Hagrid, do you know that there is a wonderful ancient book in China - "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", which describes the secrets of ancient times, and more importantly, it also records the information of countless magical creatures. There are six legs and four wings, and now the fat relict giant snake of the great drought in the world; There is a sound like a baby, and the nine-tailed fox of Qingqiu does not eat Gu......"
Sure enough, this big man who was obsessed with magical beasts was fascinated by it, and he took out a notebook to record it in the depths of his feelings, and he looked like a good student who loves learning and listens carefully.
Just as Chu Nan was telling the story of Jingwei's reclamation, there was a banging knock on the door.
"Oh, damn it, it couldn't be that old Filch guy, right?"
Reluctantly, Hagrid mumbled to open the door.
With a squeak, the simple wooden door was pushed open, and through the gap between Hagrid's body and the doorway, Chu Nan could see that it was the Harry trio.
"Hello, Hagrid, we've got you covered."
But how could Hagrid have the time to play with them, he was hearing the wonderful part, and in order not to be disturbed by Chu Nan, he told a small lie: "Hello, Harry, don't blame me for being rude, I have something very important today, and I don't have time to play with you." With that, Hagrid quickly closed the door, ready to turn them away.
But before he could close the door tightly, he heard the three little ghosts outside say in unison: "We know about the Philosopher's Stone!" β
Hagrid woke up instantly, although he wanted to continue listening to the story, but there was a priority, not to mention that this was still a super secret about Dumbledore, and there was no room for sloppiness.
"Oh~~ Come in."
The annoyed Hagrid didn't even bother to close the door, turned around directly, and sat on the chair in front of Chu Nan.
The three little guys were even more excited to see Chu Nan here, and they thought that Chu Nan had more ability to compete with Snape, as well as status.
After closing the door, Harry went straight in, "Hagrid, Professor, Snape wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone. β
Chu Nan was noncommittal after hearing this, but Hagrid looked like he was hurting his brain.
"Snape? Why do you always suspect him? β
Having said that, Harry was convinced that Snape was the bad guy, "We knew he wanted the Philosopher's Stone, but we didn't know why. β
"You've been talking about the Philosopher's Stone, what the hell is this Philosopher's Stone?"
Hearing Chu Nan's question, Miss Granger looked very happy, and then took out a notebook.
In fact, Hermione was really happy, and think about it, how wonderful it was to answer a question for an emeritus professor, enough to brag about for a lifetime.
Hermione cleared her throat, and then Shi Shiran opened the notebook:
"The Philosopher's Stone is a magical substance with amazing magical powers, it can turn any metal into gold, and it can also make an elixir of life, and those who drink it can live forever.
Now the only one remains, owned by the famous alchemist Nicolamet, who celebrated his 665th birthday last year, and his wife is 558 years old.
I suppose the Philosopher's Stone is what Mao Mao guards, right? β
Although she was asking rhetorically, the smug look on her face showed that she was confident in her guess.
Chu Nan sighed when he heard this, "So that's the case, in fact, we in the East also have a similar method of seeking immortality." β
Now everyone was interested and asked him to talk about it.
"Well, since you want to hear it, I'll leave it at that. In the East, there are 360 side doors in the word 'Dao', all of which have positive fruits. It seems that swallowing gold and serving jade in order to live forever can be attributed to the word 'moving'.
This is a promising work, picking yin and supplementing yang, climbing the bow and stepping on the crossbow, rubbing the umbilicus and passing the gas, using the square to concoct, burning the grass and beating the ding, entering the red lead, refining the autumn stone, and taking women's milk and so on. It's just that this technique can enjoy a maximum of 800 lifespans, and if you want to live forever, it's like fishing for the moon in the water. β
The four foreigners did not know the breadth and profundity of Chinese, and Chu Nan could only briefly say that he would mention it in one stroke about collecting yin and supplementing yang, after all, they were only eleven or twelve-year-old children, and in the end they could only focus on the art of alchemy.

"It's a pity that these methods don't return to the right path, and if you are long enough to take the pill, you will suffer from erysipelas, and I guess that Nicolame is about to be unable to hold on, so he will let go of the Philosopher's Stone."
Several people were also embarrassed after listening to it, especially Miss Granger, who deserved to be a top student, and unconsciously memorized what Chu Nan said just now.
"Who, who's there?"
Chu Nan came back to his senses, only to find that there was an extra breath outside the door, he must have been too involved in what he had just said, and this was Hagrid's room, so he was careless.
"It's Malfoy!"
Sure enough, Harry only glanced at the dazzling hairstyle through the window to determine his identity. Unfortunately, when Harry and the others opened the door to pursue, they found that Malfoy had run away.
The trio of Night Wanderers immediately got up to say goodbye, and they had to hurry back to the dormitory, because no one knew how Malfoy would use this to deal with them, and for now they had to deal with all changes.
Chu Nan gave them a pitying look, then turned to look at Hagrid.
"Hagrid, do you want to know about the true path of immortality?"
"True immortality?"
Hagrid's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, immortality - this is the deepest desire in the hearts of all living beings!
He rubbed his big hands nervously, a little incoherent: "I.... Am I really lucky enough to listen? I mean, it's too..."
"Don't be nervous, I'm just going to share with my friends a story I saw about immortality. As the saying goes: difficult! Difficult! Difficult! The Tao is the most mysterious, don't wait for Jin Dan to be idle. This Jindan Avenue captures the creation of heaven and earth, and invades the mystery of the sun and the moon; After Dancheng, the ghosts and gods are intolerable......"
And just when Chu Nanmei started talking about "Journey to the West", Harry and his friends were in big trouble.
-------
"Do you say what Professor Chu Nan said is true?"
"Who knows?"
"The worst part is that Malfoy found out we were on a night tour."
β.....β
As the three of them chatted all the way back, a lady with an oil lamp suddenly appeared around the corner of the hallwayβProfessor McGonagall, who was also Harry's headmaster.
"Good evening."
Professor McGonagall said hello, and there was no joy on her face, but the next second, a sinister Malfoy appeared behind Professor McGonagall.
Oh, he snitched!
