Others only see the sword light as falling moon and meteor, beautiful and gorgeous. Only the person being attacked can experience the breathtaking power hidden behind this splendor, like a falling moon.
Dark Moon·Qingxu Zhan.
The old wizard did not intend to sit there and wait for death. The magic wand in his hand released a dark green beam of light with an ominous aura to meet Hu Xiuwu's Qingxu Slash.
When Dumbledore saw this, he immediately exclaimed, "Not good."
Anxious and worried about what might happen, Dumbledore didn't even chant a spell. He just waved the wand in his hand, which was as thick as human finger bones, and his figure disappeared instantly.
Zhang Zhiwei also opened the window, and with a dexterity that did not match his aged appearance, he easily jumped onto the window frame. With a slight force with his feet, spider-web-like cracks suddenly appeared on the stone wall that was as thick as a human, and penetrated the wall.
Like a golden missile, it cut through the air, leaving behind only circles of sonic boom clouds in the air, and the sound of thunder in a clear sky that was only noticed after the Heavenly Master flew out.
The rest of the Nadutong employees were staring at this scene in amazement. Not to mention them, even Bi Youlong was seeing the Heavenly Master in action for the first time, and this move shocked him.
Bi Youlong turned his head expressionlessly:
"Did the old master just break the sound barrier!?"
Everyone nodded woodenly.
······
Dumbledore appeared on the playground, casting spells:
"Immobulus, Petrificus Totalus, Protego."
Then he yelled, "Moody, stop it!"
However, Moody was obviously unable to answer him. He had been immobilized by Dumbledore and an invisible protective shield was covering his body to prevent Zhang Zhiwei from arriving in time.
On the other side, Zhang Zhiwei, who arrived almost at the same time as Dumbledore, was covered in golden light. He slammed into Hu Xiuwu's body and pressed Hu Xiuwu, who just looked like a ghost, to the ground, creating a deep pit on the ground like a falling meteorite.
"Come on, Shugo, this could be a misunderstanding."
The golden rope, as thin as a rope, tied Hu Xiuwu tightly.
Whoever has a naughty child, his parents will take care of him.
Chapter 235 Tushita Three Corpses
Zhang Zhiwei used one hand to force Hu Xiuwu to kneel on one knee.
After a brief struggle, Hu Xiuwu regained his sanity and closed his eyes. Beneath the unruly blood flames on the surface of his body, golden flames like fireflies were born. Compared with the brutal and overbearing Three Corpse Qi, this golden fire seemed a little immature, but it was like an oil lamp offered in front of the Buddha, giving people a sense of vast light, tranquility and peace.
The blood flame that seemed to be so arrogant and domineering suddenly weakened rapidly after the appearance of the golden fire, showing signs of fatigue. Although it was unwilling, it had to exit sadly.
Hu Xiuwu opened his eyes again, and his eyes were clear again.
Over the past ten years, he has been keeping a low profile, cultivating his energy, and tempering his character. Logically speaking, his three corpses have long been malnourished and he can no longer produce the violent Three Corpse Qi like he did just now.
His three corpses had indeed subsided, but his meditation skills had improved a lot, especially the use of Tushita fire, which became more flexible and skillful.
His Tushita Fire is no longer the same as before. Once touched, it will burn away all emotions in one go, turning a person into a heartless person with no desires.
As his experience increased, Hu Xiuwu also learned more refined operations. As long as he burned along the twelve meridians of the human body, he could accurately burn away an emotion.
Before, in order to meet the enemy, Hu Xiuwu had burned all the eleven meridians except the Foot Queyin Liver Meridian which represented anger.
Although the anger is small, it stands out against the white paper, like ink dropped into water, red flowers in the shade of green, or the light before dawn.
Without the interference of other emotions, even the smallest anger will grow like weeds and occupy the entire heart. The three corpses can only be nourished and revived with full blood and can continue to be exploited and squeezed.
The Sha Po Ling and Feng Huo Ling complement each other.
Hu Xiuwu was still struggling with all his might, still feeling angry. However, the skinny hand on his body was as hard to move as the Five Finger Mountain, and he couldn't break free from the thin rope on his body. With his current cultivation level and physical strength, he could easily break free from even a chain made of fine steel.
But this thin golden light was extremely tough, just like the legendary golden rope, which was difficult to break free once tied. Even if Hu Xiuwu used all his strength and crushed the bricks supported by his knees and toes, the golden light remained motionless.
Although Hu Xiuwu could also transform the golden light into ropes and swords, it was still far from the strength of Heavenly Master's Golden Light Mantra.
The intensity of the golden light is linked to each person's cultivation. The stronger the life cultivation, the higher the intensity of the golden light. The golden light of the Heavenly Master is so indestructible, which is enough to show that the Heavenly Master's life cultivation is far above his.
The speed at which Hu Xiuwu improved his skills through practicing the Huangting Sutra was several times faster than that of ordinary people. Zhang Lingyu was definitely not his opponent in terms of single-round cultivation, but even so, he was still far from reaching the realm of Heavenly Master.
Longhushan Tianshi Mansion, Zhang Zhiwei, is worthy of his reputation!
After Hu Xiuwu calmed down and his eyes became clear again, Zhang Zhiwei released his hand that was clamped on the back of Hu Xiuwu's neck, and at the same time released the golden light that was binding Hu Xiuwu, allowing it to dissipate.
Hu Xiuwu is not quiet, and Moody is not honest either.
Even though they were frozen by Dumbledore, his strange and flexible magic eye was always scanning Hu Xiuwu and Zhang Zhiwei, as if assessing the degree of danger they faced.
Dumbledore saw all of this and couldn't help feeling tired. When he said he was going to hire Mad-Eye Moody as the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, many professors expressed their opinions to him, believing that he was too dangerous for the students.
When dark wizards come to attack, he is a reliable comrade; but when there are no dark wizards, he is the biggest danger. Moody is an excellent Auror, but the professors do not believe that Moody is qualified for the position of professor.
One of the Potions professors had the strongest opinion and hoped that Dumbledore would reconsider new candidates, such as himself.
But Dumbledore believed that the shadow of Voldemort was approaching, and he needed Moody's decades of experience as an Auror to pass on these experiences and lessons to the students, so that the students could understand the horror of dark wizards and learn how to protect themselves.
Unexpectedly, before Moody took office, he started fighting with the guests of Hogwarts.
Dumbledore felt a headache when he thought of this: "Moody! Why did you fight with Huxuwu? He is a guest of Hogwarts and is here to participate in the Goblet of Fire Tournament!"
Zhang Zhiwei also asked the same question as Hu Xiuwu.
Hu Xiuwu took the chain mail golden armor back to Luo Fengtian. With the old Heavenly Master around, what was there to be afraid of? Just based on the golden light spell he had just cast, even if Hu Xiuwu was wearing armor, he might not be as strong as the Heavenly Master:
"I came back from the Forbidden Forest and was about to go to the guest room when this man suddenly jumped out of the castle and attacked me."
Moody had been a detective in the wizarding world for decades, so he was no fool. He realized that he had made a mistake. He put away his wand as if nothing had happened and said in a muffled voice, "I heard from Peeves that a dark wizard had sneaked into the castle. I also saw him sneaking around and not going out the front door, but insisting on going in through the window. That's why I became suspicious of him."
Of course, Moody also graduated from Hogwarts, and he knew what Peeves was like. Of course, he would not believe him just based on Peeves' one-sided words. It was really Hu Xiuwu's Gengjin evil spirit, which hindered the healing of the wound, which was too much like the black magic, the God of Shadowless.
After checking Peeves' wound, Moody was still a little skeptical. In addition, when he was patrolling in the castle, he saw Hu Xiuwu refusing to go out through the main gate and insisting on entering through the castle window. He was determined to believe it rather than not, so he wanted to stop him and ask him clearly.
He first used the illusion spell to hide under Hu Xiuwu, and then used a move to petrify everyone, wanting to capture Hu Xiuwu and interrogate him.
Originally, Moody thought that he was in secret and had taken the initiative to launch a sneak attack, so he would definitely be able to take down Hu Xiuwu. However, he did not expect that not only did the sneak attack fail, but even in a head-on confrontation, he was no match for Hu Xiuwu, if Dumbledore and Zhang Zhiwei had not arrived in time.
There was no way he could block the Qingxu Slash attack just now.
A series of misunderstandings led to such an embarrassing situation.
Dumbledore used his wand to push up his hat, and asked Moody helplessly, "Didn't you write that you would come before the opening ceremony tomorrow?"
Moody said confidently: "If we follow the time written in the letter, if the letter is intercepted by a dark wizard, it will be easy to set a trap."
At first glance, this made sense. Hu Xiuwu couldn't help but look at Dumbledore: "Has the public security in your area become so chaotic?"
"Of course not. Moody is just being cautious."
Dumbledore helped Moody explain palely, then laughed and said, "Let me introduce it to you."
"This is Alastor Moody, a senior Auror from the Ministry of Magic. After his retirement, I hired him back to be the tenured professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts."
Moody limped to Hu Xiuwu and apologized to him skillfully: "I apologize for my rudeness."
At this time, Hu Xiuwu discovered that Moody actually had a wooden foot. During years of fighting, he lost an eye and a leg. Even after retirement, he did not let down his guard. He was always alert and still suspicious of everyone who approached him.
Just like those old soldiers who have fought in wars all their lives and finally retired sadly and are not used to the comfort.
This is just an old man who doesn't want to leave the battlefield.
Hu Xiuwu accepted his apology: "Mr. Moody, you have retired and can take a proper rest."
Moody replied stiffly: "The battle never stops."
After saying that, he left without paying attention to the others, leaving only one sentence to Dumbledore:
"Albus, I still have to continue checking the castle, so I'll take my leave now. I will also put protective spells on all the windows so that no one will be allowed to enter Hogwarts through the windows."
Chapter 236 Don’t disturb the sleeping dragon
Dumbledore repeatedly apologized to Zhang Zhiwei and Hu Xiuwu, and then used Apparition to send Zhang Zhiwei and Hu Xiuwu back to the guest room.
When Bi Youlong asked about what happened, Hu Xiuwu told him everything truthfully except the content of his conversation with Deng Youfu.
"The stairs here still move?"
Bi Youlong touched his chin. They might have to stay here for a long time. They also had to attend the opening ceremony of the Goblet of Fire tomorrow. They couldn't just rely on the people from Hogwarts to lead the way.
"Zhu Quan, Hua Ming, you two take people to study the movement patterns of the stairs here and send them to me later."
"Yes!"
Zhu Quan and Hua Ming obeyed the order and left the room with paper and pen.
"It's getting late. Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of Hogwarts, plus the opening ceremony of the Goblet of Fire. You'd better not walk around casually. Stay in your room tonight and don't go out."
The Fire Goblet selection was about to begin, and Bi Youlong was really worried that Hu Xiuwu might cause trouble when he went out again. Even during an ordinary visit to relatives and friends, he could get into a fight with others. It would be better for him to stay in the room honestly and wait until the selection was over tomorrow.
For the first time, Bi Youlong felt a little resentful about the Master's insistence on bringing Hu Xiuwu to Hogwarts.
This kid is really good at causing trouble.
Hu Xiuwu was ordered to stay at home. He wanted to make a few more arguments. The fight with Moody didn't hurt him at all. It was no different from just finishing a long run. He would go to the library on the second floor to read some books in the evening.
However, Bi Youlong looked at Hu Xiuwu with the same eyes that the dean of studies looked at the disobedient and troublesome students in the school. He knew this kind of look too well. Occasionally, when Xiaotian instigated him to skip classes, the school dean of studies would look at the two of them with this kind of ultimatum look.
Even the unruly Xiaotian would behave himself for a day or two after being stared at by the dean's cold and stern eyes.
······
Harry got off the express train in a daze. Ron, who had red hair like Platinum, followed him and kept telling him about the Quidditch World Cup he had visited during the holidays. If it were normal, he would definitely chat excitedly about Quidditch with Ron for a long time.
But he was a little absent-minded at the moment. All he could think about was the gentle and beautiful girl with smooth black straight hair whom he had just seen on the express train. The girl even smiled at him shyly.
It was the most beautiful, gentle smile he had ever seen.
Harry recalled their encounter over and over again, with pink bubbles constantly popping up in his heart. For the first time in his life, he discovered that long straight black hair could be so beautiful.
As soon as this thought came to Harry's mind, the gloomy and stern face of his Potions teacher appeared in his mind, with his greasy black straight hair. He looked at him affectionately and called his name gently.
Harry couldn't help but shudder, wishing he could immediately forget all the irritating imagination he had just had.
According to Hermione, the girl's name was Zhang Qiu? He felt like he was in love.
Before Harry, Hermione and the other two returned to the dormitory and changed into their school uniforms,
The sound of horses roaring was heard from the sky, and a mast suddenly appeared in the Black Lake. Then an old three-masted sailing ship broke through the water like a whale, and rolled up huge waves several stories high. The waves shattered the water droplets into mist, which swayed and fell on the wooden boat, dotted like stars, attached to the hull, as if applying a layer of wax to the hull, making it shine like a gem under the sun.
Harry, Ron and Hermione crowded at the window, watching the scene with surprise and excitement.
