Chapter 191
After brushing the corpse, everyone rested on the shore, eating chocolate and discussing their next move.
The corpse made of Regulus Black had been disposed of by Dumbledore, and was now lying quietly not far away, waiting for everyone to take it back when they returned.
Everyone could see that today's goal was on the island in the middle of the lake, but no one dared to swim through the black lake that was still soaked with corpses just now.
When Harry and the others sat around discussing how to get over, Dumbledore called Zhang Xu and said that he wanted to go around with him.
Dumbledore and Zhang Xu walked around the shore of the lake, and the two of them walked on the narrow rocks by the lake, making a snapping echo.
Not long after walking out, a column of water exploded on the surface of the lake, and then there was no movement.
Zhang Xu and Dumbledore turned around and saw Neville putting down the hand that had just waved his wand.
"Looks like Neville's Flying Spell didn't work." Zhang Xu said.
"I think if we blatantly try to get our hands on that Horcrux, we're going to meet with something." Dumbledore said, "Neville's Flying Charm is very well mastered, and if I were Professor Flitwick, I would give him extra points." ”
"That's thanks to his toad, who has always longed for the wonderful world outside, and the other students don't have so many opportunities to practice the flying spell." Zhang Xu said with a smile.
"Are you okay now, Zhang?" Dumbledore turned his head to look at Zhang Xu and said, "You were in a bad mood just now. ”
"It's alright, thank you for your concern, Professor." Zhang Xu shook his head with a smile and said, "Just now after seeing the Yin corpse in the lake, I recalled some very bad memories, and now it is much better after using magic to vent." ”
"You've seen a Yin corpse before?" Dumbledore asked curiously.
"There are spells in the East and the West that manipulate corpses," Zhang Xu said with a sigh, "some just let the unfortunate deceased return to their hometowns, while others use corpses as tools to desecrate." ”
"It looks like you're coming across a sad story." Dumbledore whispered.
"Professor, you've lived through World War II with Muggles, and you should know that it's easy to encounter things that break the bottom line of humanity in war." Zhang Xu said in a deep voice, "Voldemort's actions are like good students in kindergarten compared to some people in that war. ”
"Is it a time turner?" Dumbledore suddenly remembered Zhang Xu, who was covered in a shocking scar after using the time turner to rescue Harry Off-Line Balloon Potter.
"Yes." Zhang Xu nodded and replied, "The time turner has made me go through a lot of things. ”
Zhang Xu is not afraid to tell Dumbledore about his trip in the long river of time, he has already told the country about the detailed experience of that year, and it doesn't matter if Dumbledore knows more.
Dumbledore fell silent suddenly, and walked silently along the rocks by the lake.
After walking for a few minutes, Dumbledore suddenly stopped and looked back at Zhang Xu with a complicated expression.
"Zhang, do you believe in fate?" Dumbledore asked.
"Fate? I don't know if there is such a thing as fate in the world," Zhang Xu said after thinking about it, "If there is fate, I want to try the taste of choking fate." ”
Zhang Xu swept his grave and knew how long he would live, but he didn't want to jump into the lake now and try to challenge fate.
Because he can't be sure whether the so-called fate is a matter of foregone conclusion, or if, like Schrödinger's dress, you don't know if the person wearing the skirt is a man or a woman without lifting it.
In the history of Zhang Xu's previous life, Deng Shichang sacrificed, and in the history of this life, he was rescued by Zhang Xu and participated in the founding ceremony. Who can tell if Zhang Xu changed his fate, or if his fate should be like this in this world?
Zhang Xu once discussed the topic of fate with Zhao Lao and Mr. Qian, two fellow villagers who crossed over, and they finally came to the conclusion that fate is the product of an afterthought, and who can tell the future clearly?
Even Zhao Lao, who is proficient in divination, is not able to figure out anything in the future, and he has not encountered such a thing as "Shou Xinggong hanged himself for a long life", and the fortune teller is most afraid of his own death and successfully changed his life.
"Do you think you can change your past fate with a time turner?" Dumbledore's expression was very apprehensive at this time, and at the same time there was a faint expectation of it.
"It's a foregone conclusion, isn't it?" Zhang Xu could only shake his head and say.
Zhang Xu knew what Dumbledore was thinking, the accidental death of Dumbledore's sister was the biggest pain in Lao Deng's heart, and Zhang Xu didn't believe the idea that Lao Deng hadn't played the time turner.
Dumbledore was certainly not the only one who thought the same way, but judging by the Ministry of Magic's requirements for the use of time-turners, their attempts failed.
After Dumbledore got the answer from Zhang Xu, he could only sigh deeply.
Zhang Xu could see that Dumbledore wanted to ask him this question back then, but he never found the opportunity.
Hermione's use of the time turner would not have made a difference at that point, and Zhang Xu could theoretically prevent the tragedy from happening if he went to that time, so Dumbledore had always had a little hope before that.
If Dumbledore's sister didn't die on the spot, but fell off a cliff or fell into the river and disappeared, Zhang Xu might agree to help give it a try, but for those who died on the spot, there was nothing they could do, and they couldn't snatch the corpse while it was hot and make it into a yin corpse.
Zhang Xu and Dumbledore were silent with their own thoughts, and after walking along the lake for a while, Dumbledore, who had discovered something, suddenly stopped.
"I think I've found a place." Dumbledore said.
As Dumbledore slowly swiped through the air with his hand, Zhang Xu also carefully felt the magic fluctuations in front of him.
Zhang Xu can only know that there is something in front of him like looking at a mosaic picture, but he can't feel what it is.
Dumbledore clasped his hands together and grabbed something invisible in the air.
After Dumbledore's maneuver, a thick green copper chain pulled a small boat glowing green from the lake.
"The boat is too small to fit one person." Zhang Xu looked at the boat floating over and said.
Dumbledore observed the boat for a moment and said, "Voldemort doesn't think about weight, he only thinks about how much magic passes through his lake. I think the boat may have been enchanted to only take one wizard at a time. There were a lot of people coming this time, and it would not be enough to rely on a small boat. We'll have to think of something else. ”
