(The author reminds you in the front row, especially for those readers who are furious at the sight of the descent theory: remember that the protagonist of this book is mixed-race, and bloodline does not mean a qiē.) ）

"Tell me, the current situation?" Lockhart looked at Hu Xinya, who was wearing a uniform and looking heroic.

"That's a long story, Mr. Lockhart, you eat the food, and I'll tell you. ”

Thousands of years ago, China's cultivation world, in fact, was the wizarding world, which was very strong. Practitioners call themselves "immortals" and create countless legends that belong only to China. At first, subconsciously, practitioners do not intermarry with mortals, and the act of breaking the rules is called "descending to the mortal" or "moving the mortal mind." This was quite a despised act at the time, and could even be punished by the upper echelons of the cultivators.

But after hundreds of years of reproduction, it was found that mortals and mortals can also give birth to cultivators, and practitioners and mortals can also give birth to cultivators, but practitioners and practitioners can also give birth to mortals. In the end, the ancient practitioners concluded that whether or not they can practice is not determined by bloodline, but by "fate".

"Wizards and wizards can't give birth to Muggles. Lockhart interrupted Hu Xinya's narration, "You can only give birth to a squib." ”

"Do you call a person who can feel mana but can't practice a squib," the leader asked with interest, "then call it a squib." ”

"Okay. Hu Xinya nodded in agreement.

After this conclusion came out, the practitioners in the spiritual world began to live with mortals with peace of mind and intermarry with each other. In the beginning, it was normal to be a qiē, and the number of practitioners rose steadily, and it seemed that whether or not they could practice really depended on fate.

"Isn't it," Lockhart asked curiously, "I've always thought that whether or not a wizard is a wizard, or whether a wizard is powerful or not, has little to do with blood. ”

"It doesn't seem to be relevant in the short term," Hu Xinya said bitterly in her heart, "but not in the long term." ”

Practitioners live alongside mortals and hold the power of the land behind the scenes. Hundreds of years have passed, and it is normal to be a qiē, but gradually, some people began to find that the strength of the cultivators began to weaken and weaken, and they began to gradually become unable to use the strong ** techniques passed down by their ancestors.

Some people have suggested that this is because the aura between heaven and earth is getting thinner and thinner, rather than the practitioner's own essence getting worse and worse. This theory is known as the Dharma-Ending Epochism, and its central idea is that no matter what we do, the aura or mana between heaven and earth will become weaker and weaker, and eventually it will dry up, and people will not be able to continue their practice.

"Interesting idea," Lohart nodded, "I guess the next thing you'll find out isn't. ”

"That's right. ”

The doctrine of the end of the Dharma has been prevalent for many years, and the practitioners are indeed getting weaker and weaker, as prophesied and said. Finally, a theory that had long been abandoned was turned over - the theory of descent. These people believe that the total amount of spiritual energy circulation between heaven and earth remains unchanged, and what weakens is the bloodline of the cultivators in our bodies, and it is the intermarriage between cultivators and mortals that has led to the occurrence of this phenomenon for thousands of years.

"Sounds like the theory is ultimately correct?" Lockhart guessed uncertainly.

Several old Chinese wizards sitting at the state banquet sighed and shook their heads again and again. Hu Xinya nodded at Luo Ha and continued.

The practitioners who put forward and believe in the theory of descent have left the world, called themselves the hermit sect, and no longer have contact with the worldly things, and the rest are the so-called accession sects. At first, the WTO faction ridiculed the hermit faction, and even had a fierce conflict with them, the two most severe conflicts, which led to the invasion of the Song Dynasty by the Liao, Jin, and Mongols. The invasion of foreign enemies forced the WTO accession faction to abandon the conflict with the hermit faction and concentrate on running the country well.

"As far as I know, there was another time when the Manchus entered the customs, and why is that?" asked Lockhart curiously.

"You know a lot about China's history!" the leader toasted Lockhart again, "I'll give you another glass." ”

Lockhart was already a little drunk after drinking this glass of wine, the power of liquor was too great, but his mind was still clear, and Hu Xinya continued.

Facts have proved that the hermit sect was right, and after hundreds of years of intermarriage among the practitioners, the hermit sect began to gradually appear relatively strong practitioners, which severely stimulated the practitioners of the hermit sect. Around the 17th century, all Chinese practitioners were isolated from the mortal world, and the Accession sect disappeared, and all practitioners hid in remote places and intermarried internally in order to restore the purity of their bloodline.

"By now, you should understand that the last outright foreign invasion, the entry of the Manchus, was not due to internal conflicts among the wizards, but because all the Han Chinese wizards had agreed. ”

"Understood, then, at the beginning of this century, you have re-entered the world?" Lockhart suddenly realized.

"Indeed, the cultivators did not expect that the situation outside had become so erosive, and many cultivators who felt sorry for their people left the hermitage and helped the founders to establish this new country. The leader said respectfully, "They are all great wizards. ”

"We don't think of ourselves as accessors, but the hermits in the mountains think we've betrayed them and refuse to readmit us. We even started a movement thirty years ago to force them to re-admit us, but the hermits were much stronger than we we...... There's no way to start. As a last resort, we once again lived the life of the Accession Sect, and although we tried to avoid intermarriage with mortals, it was really ...... to live together," said an old Chinese wizard with white hair and white beard, as if he was one of the wizards behind the founding heroes. "We've been forced to the point where we're either marrying mortals or close relatives!"

Lockhart felt that the three views were shocked by Yan zhòng - the theory of descent was actually correct! So, isn't it the right thing for the Death Eaters to banish hemp seeds and belittle half-blood wizards, and the Order of the Phoenix, which thinks it is fighting a just war, is doing a bad thing?

Lockhart's fugue did not last long before it was interrupted by the Chinese.

"Mr. Lockhart, we tried to communicate and intermarry with the outside world, with wizards like you, but apparently ......" the leader's face flushed, not knowing if it was because of alcohol or embarrassment, "We who have a weak bloodline and are weak are disliked by all wizards from the outside world. ”

"Weak?" Lockhart interrupted him, he finally understood why the theory of this person should be the strongest wizard in China, but it feels like none of them can be his opponent, but he still has questions: "As far as I know, the Ministry of Magic of many European countries has been trying to enter and control China, but it seems that they have all been driven out by the Chinese, and even disappeared in China, why is this?"
