Chapter 151: Dragon and Tiger Mountain Seeks Immortals
(In order to distinguish the winner and loser on the click list, the old man shamefully ripped the three more and sent it!)
This incident made Lockhart not feel very good, but he did not come out in front of Pandora, and slept with Pandora in his arms. The next day, I packed my things and prepared to enter China.
The road was full of police, investigating and questioning passers-by. Last night, a famous industrialist in Hong Kong and a gang leader was assassinated at home, and the murderer was still his own subordinate, and the murderer committed suicide on the spot. The whole of Hong Kong was mobilized to investigate the matter.
The journey was rather uneventful, forcing the irritated Lockhart to use the Confusion Charm several times in order to get through guò quickly. After finally leaving Hong Kong, after switching various means of transportation, and after a few days, Lockhart took Pandora to Longhu Mountain, Jiangxi, China.
This is one of the birthplaces of Taoism in China, and Lockhart speculates that the so-called Taoist priests are Chinese shamans. In this magical land, Lockhart is full of anticipation, hoping to find a way to deal with the Horcruxes.
"Look, this is Elephant Trunk Mountain, does this stone pillar resemble an elephant's trunk?" Lockhart also came for the first time, but he could understand Chinese and became a tour guide.
"Well, it's a bit like that. Pandora didn't wear makeup at Lockhart's request, but she showed a pure beauty, "but I've only seen elephants in books!"
"Well, it's okay...... Next time I will take you to the zoo. "Lockhart feels a little sorry for Pandora, this girl doesn't have any entertainment at home.
The scenery of Longhu Mountain is very beautiful, but most of them are just looking at stones, Lockhart is here to find a Chinese wizard, so let's move on.
"What's on that, Professor?"
"It's a pity not to go to the Xujing Hall, which means that if you don't go to see the building called the Xujing Hall above, you will definitely feel sorry. Loha pronounced the words awkwardly and translated them to Pandora. "Interesting, let's go up and have a look, we can't leave regrets. ”
To disappoint them, this is an ordinary incense hall, Muggle-built, without any magic fluctuations. But Lockhart offered incense to Pandora and prayed pretendedly.
After wandering around and finding no sign of the wizard's existence, Lockhart had no choice but to assume that this was a normal trip. They came to the river, where several small bamboo rafts were fishing in the middle of the river.
"What are they doing? What does that bird do? ”
"It's a way of fishing for Chinese fishermen, and it's a bird called a cormorant, and they go into the water to catch a fish and give it to their owners. ”
"What a clever bird, better than an owl, an owl doesn't catch fish for its master!" said Pandora, starry-eyed as she watched the birds flying up and down that way.
"Cormorants don't send letters to their masters. Lockhart was amused, "I'm hungry, let's go, let's go have some special snacks." ”
They came to Xujia Village, legend has it that Zhang Tianshi came to this village in the summer, but there were too many mosquitoes at night, and he kept biting his mother, he used a spell to repel mosquitoes for his mother, and took a fairy fan, and there were no more mosquitoes in this village, so Xujia Village is also called a mosquito-free village. The fairy fan is a magic wand, Lockhart guessed.
They asked for tofu brains and some snacks at a tofu shop, and Pandora thought it was panna cotta in the bowl, and Lockhart drank his whole bowl of tofu brains with nostalgia. Unfortunately, Pandora didn't like the taste of tofu brains, but in order to avoid waste, Lockhart unceremoniously helped her finish the remaining half bowl.
"It's a money-saving place, and the two of them don't eat more than one galleon. Here, Lockhart can finally tell the truth.
"It's good to save money!" said Pandora, cheerfully, "I'm afraid that the professor will run out of money and won't be able to afford a ticket back." ”
"Haha, if the Chinese dare to make all my money, I don't care about hijacking another plane to return home." Lockhart joked disapprehantly.
"It's really fake, but why did the professor say 'again'. ”
"Ahaha, nothing. Look at the mountain over there, does it look like a tiger and a dragon?" Lockhart's mouth had always been tight, but his ability to detract from the topic was top-notch.
"Well, it's a bit of a bit, but I still want to see a real tiger!" said Pandora.
"I'll see it in two days!" Lockhart agreed.
After the meal, the two took a car to Shangqing Ancient Town, and the scenery along the way was very beautiful. The most important thing is that in the Heavenly Master's Mansion in the ancient town, you can finally see some signs of Chinese wizards.
Taoism is divided into two factions, one is the Quanzhen faction headed by Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang Mountain, which focuses on practice and self-cultivation. Longhu Mountain is another faction - the positive faction, the patriarch Zhang Daoling, pays attention to alchemy and demon suppression. The patriarchs of both factions are Taishang Laojun. On one of the walls of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, a picture shows the meaning of various Taoist gestures. Lockhart couldn't understand it, but he guessed that it was the secret of the ancient Chinese sorcerer's gesture of using the wandless charm.
This surprised Lockhart, and the two of them walked to the Great Shangqing Palace, but unfortunately this building was built by Muggles for tourists to see, and had nothing to do with wizards.
However, when they went to Zhengyiguan later, they found that Lockhart felt a magic fluctuation similar to a confusion spell here, although it was already very weak, but after all, it was still zài.
"Where's the viewer here, come out and get to know me!" Lockhart shouted in the middle of the view, attracting the sideways of passers-by.
"Why does this foreigner speak Chinese...... "I guess it's a stupid foreigner who came here to find a fairy!" "Hehe, how can there be a fairy, it's really funny......"
"Professor......" Seeing passers-by watching and talking, Pandora uneasily pulled down Lockhart's clothes.
Why didn't anyone come out to reply? Lockhart was a little annoyed, could it be that he didn't want to see him because he was British? He entered the Zhengyi Temple, began to observe carefully from the entrance of the temple, from the vestibule to the Taoist temple, and then to the surrounding back garden, and even wanted to go up the hill behind the temple to have a look. He tried to find the entrance to the wizard's dwelling, which had been hidden by the Confusion Charm, but could not find it.
He even called the Muggle head of the temple, but he said that it was uninhabited and that it had always been a tourist attraction. Helpless, Lockhart carefully sensed the magic fluctuations and found that it was all over the Taoist temple, most obvious in the main hall. Is it just a simple spiritual cue to keep the visitors in a solemn mood?
Lockhart didn't believe that a Chinese wizard would do such a boring thing, which could be quite a clever Loyalty Charm. But this magic fluctuation is indeed very weak, and it seems that even if a wizard lived here, it was a hundred years ago.
They left the ancient town and came to the river. "Do you want to go boating?"
"I won't. Pandora looked at the little rafts expectantly and said uneasily.
"It's okay, just use spells if you can't do it, there's no rule here that underage wizards are forbidden to use spells. Lockhart comforted her. He rented a small bamboo raft and sat on it with Pandora. It's much simpler than you think, because the bamboo raft is going down the river, you don't need the help of a spell at all, the breeze is coming, and the scenery on both sides of the strait is floating behind you, and to be honest, it's still very pleasant.
The strange mountain and strange stones did not leave much impression on Lockhart, but a strange scene made him stop, and there was a strange stone that actually formed the appearance of a female **. Lockhart asked the others with the name of the stone with great interest, and the answer was that the scenery was called the Fairy Stone. He was excited to get a picture of the stone, but it was Pandora who forced him to pull him and he left the place.
In general, the scenery of Longhu Mountain is good, but there is nothing special to see. But Pandora was impressed by the fact that it cost less than ten Galleons to buy some souvenirs after a whole day's play.
