Garuda versus the giant python.

Chapter 468 Capturing Harry

The eagle and the snake fought each other, and the Garuda chased its natural enemy. The ferocious monster crawled on the ground recklessly. It did not avoid obstacles but rubbed them directly. Stone chips flew everywhere, and the walls were rubbed off, exposing all the bricks. The street lamps were easily broken like reeds, just like a train that had gone off the track.

There are also winding marks left on the road surface. Snake trails are formed in places where snakes and pythons often appear, and basilisks will also leave similar marks.

Harry has the Elder Wand and was inspired by the Resurrection Stone when he was resurrected, so he learned Serpent God spells. His strength is not much inferior to that of Voldemort in the past, but he just can't defeat Shen Jingzhi.

Shen Jingzhi's azure Buddha eyes could see through all his illusions except the invisibility cloak. But even if Harry used the invisibility cloak to attack, Shen Jingzhi would always notice it a second or two in advance, just like when he was at Hogwarts, the owl would always spot his hand that wanted to secretly stroke the bird and would turn its head to peck him.

The cicada knows the arrival of autumn before the wind blows. Although Shen Jingzhi entered the country with Tibetan Buddhism, the practice he was more proficient in was Master Xuanzang's version of "The Yogacara Sutra", and its foundation was "The Verses on the Eight Consciousnesses". He was a descendant of the Yogacara school of Buddhism.

All things are only consciousness, there is no realm outside of consciousness.

Shen Jingzhi's five senses are fully developed. He can monitor the entire Lu University campus by himself, making Xia He dare not set foot on the campus when he is in charge. Naturally, his sixth sense will not be unsuccessful.

The invisibility cloak can conceal Harry's figure and breath, making it impossible for Shen Jingzhi to detect his whereabouts, but it cannot hide the murderous intent and fluctuations in Harry's mind when he attacks.

So whenever he made a move, Shen Jingzhi would immediately get excited, his hair would stand on end, he would be in front of him, and would instinctively dodge, striking later but taking the lead. It seemed as if he could predict Harry's actions.

Harry's attack couldn't do anything to Shen Jingzhi, but when Harry Potter was wearing the invisibility cloak and didn't move, Shen Jingzhi really couldn't find any trace of him.

The two sides started a chase. The basilisk carried Harry Potter and tried to find the loophole in the golden branch seal to leave here, while Shen Jingzhi pestered Harry and tried to capture his location.

Rumble, clang.

The dark wizards in Knockturn Alley listened to the sounds of houses being demolished and mountains crashing outside, as well as giant pythons crawling through the windows from time to time, blocking out the sunlight. However, they had no way of using the portkeys or the Floo Network to escape, so they could only hide in the secret room of their home, trembling in fear and praying anxiously that they would leave as soon as possible.

F**K! Aren’t Dumbledore and Voldemort already dead? Who is fighting outside?

"Damn it, how did I get back here? He obviously couldn't find me, so how could he still cast an illusion?"

After going around in circles for several times, even though he maintained the brain occlusion technique, Harry was always led by illusions at some forks in the road, unconsciously changing direction and deviating from the route.

'Merlin's socks! His illusion is really hard to deal with. If I don't figure it out, I can't get rid of this daring bird!'

After clearing away Shen Jingzhi's magic power (Qi) attached to his eyes and ears again, and finding himself running into Knockturn Alley again, Harry didn't want to get entangled any longer. Although the space here was blocked, it wouldn't take long for the Ministry of Magic to get to Knockturn Alley from Diagon Alley.

Although Hermione who was next to Shen Jingzhi before was an illusion, she might not have noticed Harry's problem.

Shen Jingzhi alone is so difficult to deal with, and with the addition of people from the Order of the Phoenix, it would be even more difficult for Harry to escape.

Relying on the fact that Shen Jingzhi could not break through the invisibility cloak, Harry hid in the basilisk's skull and concentrated on feeling how Shen Jingzhi's spell fell on him.

Harry focused on the brain-blocking technique, emptied his brain and became ruthless and insensitive. The only thing left was love to focus on tracing the origin of the internal and external magic.

Between waking and dreaming, Harry inadvertently entered the state of introspection as it is known in the East, through which he examined his own body.

Harry cleaned his body as clean as a white bone china plate, then focused his attention on the situation inside his body, capturing every bit of magic power (Qi) that tried to invade his senses.

He didn't have to wait long before a few wisps of impurities appeared in the clean white background. Harry clearly caught the magic power that was trying to cover his eyes and ears, and explained it carefully.

“···Om Mani Padme Hum···”

Harry finally understood.

"So that's it! It's the voice! This old bastard is so insidious."

As a member of the Yogacara school, Shen Jingzhi practiced the six senses and naturally would not forget the tongue consciousness. The eloquent tongue is an old trick in Buddhism.

The evil teacher who is wanted everywhere can deceive the public with his words. The tongue consciousness practiced by Shen Jingzhi can confuse other people's five senses and cause hallucinations.

If a person's consciousness is not strong enough, then the five senses of eyes, ears, mouth, nose and touch will be controlled by him, and he will fall into an endless dream, unable to extricate himself.

Shen Jingzhi whispered the six-syllable mantra softly, interfering with Harry's visual and auditory consciousness.

'No wonder I was still affected by his spell even when I was wearing the Invisibility Cloak.'

After Harry saw through the secret of Shen Jingzhi's illusion and blocked his curse, he was finally no longer affected by Shen Jingzhi.

Although he wanted to kill Shen Jingzhi, but thinking of God's will, Harry suppressed his anger. After having faith, Harry's temper was not as reckless as when he was in school, and he put God's matters first.

The most urgent task is to become a believer of the Snake God and hear more of God's will.

Harry hid behind the basilisk skull and raised the Elder Wand.

The basilisk turned its head and opened its bloody mouth, and boundless karmic fire spewed out of its mouth like a dragon's breath.

Sky blue flames poured out, Shen Jingzhi flapped her wings, turned around, avoided the flames, and continued to harass the basilisk.

According to previous experience, as long as he got close to the basilisk, he would be vulnerable to Harry's attack. He guessed that Harry was on the basilisk's body.

The invisibility cloak was so powerful that Shen Jingzhi could not find Harry's exact location and could only guess his location based on the direction of the spell that attacked him.

So Shen Jingzhi would always fly around where he guessed Harry was, showing off and provoking, luring Harry to attack.

"Something is wrong. According to the previous rounds of fighting, Harry should be cooperating with the basilisk to attack me. Why is there no movement?"

With a flap of its wings, Shen Jingzhi provoked Harry back and forth in several places where he suspected he was, but he was not attacked, and the basilisk's movements became stiff and slow.

"Oh no, Harry's leaving!"

Shen Jingzhi acted decisively, without holding back, and gathered all her strength, falling to the ground. Her feathers turned into white hair, fangs popped out of the corners of her mouth, her body rapidly grew larger, and her arms became thicker than her knees.

A five-meter-tall ferocious white ape fell to the ground.

"Hum!"

The white ape roared to the sky, grabbed the snake monster's tail, and ignoring the crackling sound of his hands, he stepped on the cracked floor tiles with his bare feet, digging into the ground. His power came from the ground, and the dragon in his spine creaked as he exerted all his strength.

The 30-meter-long basilisk was dancing, and it turned into a giant pillar, sweeping across the sky. The storm was raging, cutting off all the buildings within a dozen meters. Half of Knockturn Alley was turned into ruins!

Harry was forced to show up in the midst of this massive attack.

Realizing that he had been exposed, Harry decisively raised his wand, ready to erect a wall of earth, and then put back under the invisibility cloak.

A hand was placed on his head, and Shen Jingzhi appeared behind him.

Harry was still a step too late.

"Have a good sleep."

The six consciousnesses are extinguished!

Putting her hand on the top of his head, Shen Jingzhi used the Consciousness-Only School's method to put Harry Potter into a coma.

"Cough cough!"

After Harry lay on the ground, Shen Jing stroked his waist with his right hand and breathed heavily.

He had used all his strength to accomplish that just now with his old bones.

"receive!"

After recovering from the shock, Shen Jingzhi took out a swallowing bag and put Harry on the ground into the bag. Then she took out the golden branch.

"Send me back."

Chapter 469 Becoming Harry Potter

The Department of Mysteries cannot be entered directly using teleportation spells. The defense here is undertaken solely by the Unspoken People of the Department of Mysteries, and even the Minister of Magic cannot manage it.

Placing Hu Xiuwu here was already the limit of what Hermione could do. If she had someone teleport directly into the Department of Mysteries, she was afraid that the Unspoken Man in the Department of Mysteries would go to the Minister of Magic to complain.

This was unacceptable to Hu Xiuwu's ally, Miss Hermione Granger, so Hu Xiuwu could only teleport Shen Jingzhi to the place closest to the Ministry of Magic and then let him enter the Ministry of Magic in a normal way.

Shen Jingzhi changed into a trench coat commonly worn in England, paired with a shirt and woolen trousers, and put on a round-crowned gentleman's hat. He used clothes and hats that adapted to the local customs, trying to reduce the abruptness of his Asian face, and walked into the Ministry of Magic in a low-key manner, trying not to attract other people's attention.

The death of the Chief Auror and a team of Aurors had already put people in the Ministry of Magic in a panic. The employees were either uneasy and fearful or tense and nervous, as if they had returned to the period of Voldemort's bloody rule. If there was another alarm within the Ministry of Magic, they would probably scare themselves half to death.

Shen Jingzhi had never been to the Ministry of Magic and was not familiar with the internal layout here. However, he did not make a fuss. Instead, he took out a thin copper plate the size of an ink e-book from the big pocket of his windbreaker.

Shen Jingzhi had never been to the British Ministry of Magic and was not familiar with the topographical layout here, so Hermione specially gave him a copy of her latest atlas.

According to what Hermione had taught her before, Shen Jingzhi condensed her Qi at her fingertips and tapped them on the magic map, just like ink that would automatically flow if it fell into a crack.

A spot of light appears where the fingertips touch, and the ink spreads out with the spot as the core, gradually spreading out like scattered ink falling into a gap, revealing a hand-drawn map drawn with a feather pen.

The ink drawing was a map of the Ministry of Magic, with the name of each office marked in beautiful cursive English, and the light spot represented Shen Jingzhi's location.

This is a map with a locating spell added, which stores all the wizarding gathering places in England. When activated, it will automatically display a map near the holder. It is the inspiration Hermione got from the Marauder's Map. You will mark your location on the map with a light dot, but it is not like the Marauder's Map, which can also mark the location and name of other people.

It is a magic map specially provided to students and foreign visitors coming to England.

At first, Hermione wanted to introduce mobile phones into the Ministry of Magic, learning from Behemoth and taking the route of combining technology and magic. However, the pure-blood wizards in the Ministry of Magic were very stubborn and did not trust any electronic products made by Muggles. In addition, the Ministry of Magic's constant protective magic would interfere with electrical appliances, so the plan was eventually abandoned.

Hermione could only make some convenient gadgets first, hoping that through these things, together with like-minded half-blood wizards, she could slowly change the mainstream ideas in the wizarding world and reverse the stubborn and conservative atmosphere in the British wizarding world.

Following the map, Shen Jingzhi looked for the elevator. On the way, he caught a glimpse of Harry Potter's missing person notice on a pillar.

The Harry Potter in the photo was young and shy, but had a pure smile and looked like a kind child, completely different from the cold, gloomy, and sometimes fanatical follower of the evil god he had seen before.

Shen Jingzhi didn't stop and quickly found the elevator to the Department of Mysteries. While standing at the elevator door waiting, she sighed secretly, feeling sorry for the fate of Harry Potter.

Regardless, Harry had done something wrong and had to take responsibility for it.

Ding!

The elevator door opened, and it turned out that the elevator was not empty. There was already a beautiful young brown-haired witch inside.

Shen Jingzhi walked into the elevator calmly. Of course he knew this witch, Hermione Granger who provided him with the map.

After Shen Jingzhi entered the elevator, Hermione directly pressed the button for the ninth floor underground. After the elevator slowly descended and only two people were left, Hermione could not help but ask:

"Did you succeed, Professor?"

Shen Jingzhi reached into the pocket of her windbreaker and nodded: "Yes, just as Yin Jun said."

"Your map helped me a lot."

Waving the atlas in her other hand, Shen Jingzhi said with emotion: "Western alchemy does have its merits."

If it were normal, Hermione would have been a little proud, raised her head slightly, and told Shen Jingzhi her views and ideas, but now she had no such thoughts at all, just said with a little sadness:

"I'm glad I could help you, but it really is him."

Before the dust settled, Hermione still held on to a glimmer of hope that there was a one in ten thousand chance that Harry had not done it, but the fantasy had never become reality.

She still received the notification from Hu Xiuwu and met Shen Jingzhi who brought Harry back.

As they were talking, they arrived at the Department of Mysteries on the ninth underground floor of the Ministry of Magic.

Hermione led Shen Jingzhi into the prophecy room, where Hu Xiuwu had been waiting.
