Chapter 6: The First Experience of Magic
After thanking the owl with some jerky, Zhang Xiao put the box on the table.
I slowly opened the box with excitement.
I saw a delicate wand lying in the box, the body of the wand was very straight, the surface seemed to be polished and coated, and the light brown surface had a pattern similar to that of lightning strikes.
The grip of the wand is made of jade, and the white jade like mutton fat is carved with some elaborate patterns and seal-like characters, which seem to be used to prevent slipping.
Zhang Xiao held her breath, carefully picked up the wand worth a lot of money, and held it in her hand.
He only felt a tingling in his palms, the tiny hairs on his arms stood up, and a mysterious feeling permeated his heart, driving him to wave his wand.
Zhang Xiao waved hard from the heart.
Tiny rays of lightning jumped out of the wand like a blue sprite of joy, leaving an arc of light along the trail of the wave.
"It's amazing"
Zhang Xiao stared at the wand in his hand and whispered to himself, and then he picked up a small card in the box, which read
"13 inches, sour jujube wood struck by lightning, the whiskers of the unicorn, hard, not easy to bend.
An unbeatable combination, this wand seems to be full of infinite power, and I think it's already my proudest work - Ollivanders. ”
He couldn't wait to try a few small spells, such as the fluorescent flicker, the spell was Lumos, this spell was very simple, and there was almost no threshold.
Looking at the bright light that floated from the tip of his staff, a sense of satisfaction arose.
Graduated! Let's learn a hand of swordsmanship and you can break into the world, right? Zhang Xiao couldn't help laughing.
This period before the start of the first year is considered the most liberal stage before the graduation of the little wizard from Muggle families, and since they have not yet registered, there is no such annoying thing as a trace.
So you can wave your wand and try whatever you want.
Then he tried some other simple spells, all of which were quite effective, and later, he began to try some of the spells he remembered, such as armor protection, flying spells, fainting, and shadowlessness.
It's a pity that the effect is not good, and Zhang Xiao is not discouraged, after all, many adult wizards have not mastered these spells, and talented players like Harry Potter have also learned them after many long trainings.
After playing like this for a while, Zhang Xiao's heart suddenly swelled up with a bold idea, this idea was so tempting, it tickled his heart.
So he bought a mouse for fifty pence from the kid in the apartment building.
The rats are then tied to each of their limbs and hung on a wooden board.
Looking at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, his right hand turned up, he held his wand in his hand, and shouted in a voice with an old phlegm stuck in his throat:
"Arvada gnaws on big melons!"
..............
After Zhang Xiao entertained the mouse and ate a full meal, he personally sent it to the mouth of the sewer, and watched the mouse go away in good spirits, Zhang Xiao put his hands in his pockets as if nothing had happened, whistling and looking at the sky and wandering home.
When his parents came back in the evening, Zhang Xiao finally asked the question he was eager to know:
"Mom and Dad, the upgrade route of our Daomen, ah no, what is the realm division?"
Zhang Chengdao and Li Qingshu looked puzzled, obviously not understanding what their son meant, and after some communication, Zhang Chengdao said with a smile:
"How can there be any realm division, everyone seeks the Tao, and the Tao in everyone's heart is different, can it be said that your Tao is right and my Tao is wrong?
And what's the use of dividing the realm of that Rausch? Let's meet and light up the realm first? Whoever is in the highest realm is right? ”
Li Qingshu also added:
"As the saying goes, there is a sequence of hearing the Tao, and there are people recorded in the Dao Gate who are mediocre and ascend to the ground with an epiphany, so what kind of realm is this?
There is only strength and weakness in the Xuanmen, and there is no realm. ”
What I want to know is the division of strength and weakness, Zhang Xiao hurriedly continued: "Then how do you know who is strong and who is weak?" ”
Zhang Chengdao raised two fingers:
"Simple, there are two kinds, the first is to do one directly, and it is clear who is taller and who is next.
The second is to look at the results of the battle, where the chaos is not able to be leveled by others, and if you are leveled, then you are better than him.
In this way, you beat me, I beat him, consciously learn and achieve something, go down the mountain to eliminate chaos and peace the people, and after a long time, everyone will probably know who is strong and who is weak. ”
Zhang Xiao silently kept these in her heart, and after thinking about it, she had a feeling of being alone.
That is, there is no clear division of cultivation, but everyone has a conventional division of force, just like the old heavenly master, everyone knows that he is strong, and he is the pinnacle of the top.
But I don't know what Qiang Cheng looks like, until someone thinks that he can do it, gathers a bunch of stinky fish and rotten shrimp, and is killed by one person, only to know that everyone said that it is good to practice Qi, but you secretly cultivate immortals?
Well, it feels quite reasonable.
After thinking about this problem, the family happily ate dinner again.
.........
Zhang Xiao's life has returned to that regular state again, every day is to do morning classes, look at the notes of the seniors, think about what the Tao is (desertion), look at Hogwarts textbooks, and practice small spells.
Although it is bland, there is a kind of happiness that makes people feel at ease, and as the start date of school approaches day by day, that sense of expectation almost fills Zhang Xiao's whole person.
Feeling that his "Dao heart was in chaos", he couldn't calm down and read at all, Zhang Xiao simply threw the book aside, sat on the bay window and looked out the window.
Mist shrouded the ancient city, and the lead-gray sky looked like erased scratch paper.
The rain is as dense as silk, and only under the dim street lamps can you vaguely see the trail of the rain.
Occasionally, passers-by hurried by, their collars cocked up, their trench coats tightly wrapped, and almost everyone holding a black umbrella.
From a distance, it looks like a yellowed old photograph, with a strange sense of unreality.
Zhang Xiao was uncertain, thinking about her future life,
Which house will I be placed in? Is it an iron-headed lion? Lai Skin Snake? (Note 1), Tsundere? Dry rice to eat melon badger?
Is it just contact with Sanxiao or keep a distance? I am undoubtedly familiar with the plot, but this has fallen into a paradox.
That is, the more familiar they are with the plot, the more constrained they are, because it is precisely because they understand the plot that they are afraid of changing the plot.
Because once it changes, the follow-up plot will be beyond their knowledge, and people are afraid of the unknown.
Zhang Xiao thought about it, and suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, he hadn't started school yet, but he had to suffer first, so he just had to go according to his own heart.
If it's a big deal, he will hide back in his hometown of China, is it possible that Voldemort will dare to go to Longhu Mountain to trouble him?
Have you asked the border guards? How many divisions does Voldemort have, how many easterly winds can he resist?
That night, at the suggestion of Zhang Xiao, the family decided to use hot pot to celebrate their son's upcoming start of school.
So the whole room was filled with the smell of hot pot, and after the meal, Zhang Xiao took out her wand and performed the "clean up" spell she had just learned to her parents.
Although it was not very clean because he was not proficient in learning, he still won a round of applause from his parents.
In Zhang Chengdao's exaggerated praise (oh my God!) My son has learned magic! and Li Qingshu's sincere encouragement (Come on, mom believes in you!) Study hard and make progress every day! Ran away
Ma Li got into the bed, in fact, he was quite happy, Zhang Xiao thought silently in his heart, at least he was reborn and had parents who loved him.
And, he's going to Hogwarts tomorrow!
