Hagrid was not usually ignorant of the seriousness of the situation, but since Hu Xiuwu could eat the rock biscuit and drink with him, he subconsciously thought Hu Xiuwu was a giant cub like him, so he acted without restraint.

Hu Xiuwu was unmoved and didn't take it seriously at all. He even greeted Deng Youfu warmly: "Brother Deng, long time no see."

Deng Youfu hadn't seen Hu Xiuwu for several years, so he hesitated for a moment before confirming Hu Xiuwu's identity: "Are you Hu Bayi's younger brother, Hu Xiuwu?"

Deng Youfu brushed off the dust on his body, kicked off the mud on his boots, took off his leather jacket, revealing the neat shirt underneath. Deng Youfu was carrying a backpack, and his tone was filled with the joy of meeting a relative in a foreign land:

"How did you come?"

Hu Xiuwu made a long story short: "The Fire Goblet Tournament has been restarted, and the Tianshi Mansion has become a participant. I followed the Tianshi here."

"The Goblet of Fire,"

Deng Youfu was not surprised by this. Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic had been preparing for the competition for a long time. He had lived in Hogwarts for a long time, so how could he not know any of the news?

"I never thought that the Goblet of Fire would invite people from China this time."

"So Nadutong took it very seriously. Bi Youlong from Nadutong personally led the team to prevent any mistakes."

Hu Xiuwu nodded in agreement and asked curiously,

"Brother Deng, what are you doing in Hogwarts?"

"What should I do?" Deng Youfu repeated, sitting next to Hu Xiuwu with a big horse and a golden sword. After many days of hard research, he looked a little tired. He said firmly,

"I want to bring this forbidden forest that can accommodate hundreds and thousands of magical beasts back to my country!"

Hu Xiuwu had heard Hagrid mention this before, but he was puzzled: "This forbidden forest is indeed wonderful, but the terrain is flat and there is no hidden dragon vein. It can be used as a Mingtang, but it is not a treasure land with excellent feng shui. Why does Brother Deng attach so much importance to it?"

"It is because it is not a Feng Shui treasure land, nor a mysterious cave, that I am interested in it. Such an ordinary place can give birth to a forbidden forest that hides all kinds of magnificent and magical things."

Boom! Hagrid, who was already drunk, couldn't hold on and fell to the ground, shaking the whole cabin. Dust fell from the roof.

Hagrid fell to the ground and fell asleep. After all, he was Deng Youfu's roommate, and Deng Youfu couldn't just leave him on the ground like that.

Deng Youfu lifted up Hagrid, who weighed more than half a ton, with one hand and threw him on his bed. The wooden bed suddenly sank under the heavy weight, making a frightening creaking sound as if it was on the verge of disintegration, but it finally held up.

This wasn't the first time he was drunk, and Deng Youfu knew that Hagrid's bed couldn't be weak.

Deng Youfu returned to the small tea table. It had been a long time since he met anyone from his hometown. He became more interested in talking to the foreigners. They simply could not understand Deng Youfu's ideas. He continued to talk to Hu Xiuwu with great interest:

"You know, there haven't been any new immortals in the Northeast for nearly a hundred years. More than a hundred years ago, Master Hui Er, who was inspired by the spirit, was already the youngest immortal."

"With the advancement of industrialization, there are fewer and fewer forests, and fewer and fewer animals that can open their spiritual intelligence. Since I was a child, I have vowed to make Northeast China return to the past when larks roamed in the forests and people and elves lived in harmony, achieving the state of harmonious coexistence of all things as described by shaman sages."

"If I can find the secret here, I can rebuild a sacred place in Changbai Mountain that belongs to the Northeast and contains spiritual charm and where all things flourish."

Hu Xiuwu asked tentatively: "Master Liu?"

Like a spell, after Hu Xiuwu finished reciting it, one of Deng Youfu's eyes instantly turned into a scarlet snake pupil, and the right half of his mouth stretched to his ear and turned into a snake kiss:

"What's up? Boy, are you okay?"

Hu Xiuwu said, "It's okay. I told you that no matter how generous Dumbledore is, he won't easily allow anyone to study his family's secrets."

Sure enough, after Liu Kunsheng took over, Deng Youfu's strength was close to that of Dumbledore and the old Taoist priest. Moreover, Liu Kunsheng was not a gentle and kind person. His temper was like the blizzard on Changbai Mountain, which could blow at any time.

It would not be easy to make peace with such a person. According to Hagrid's introduction, Hogwarts is in a troubled time, and Dumbledore naturally does not want to cause any more trouble. As long as Dumbledore does not disturb the students and does not destroy the environment of the Forbidden Forest, he will let him be.

Deng Youfu unzipped his backpack. His bag was full of various specimens and his notes, which filled several books. He enthusiastically told Hu Xiuwu about his discoveries.

Hu Xiuwu listened quietly, and only after Deng Youfu finally finished speaking did he ask his guess:

"Brother Deng, is there something wrong with Changbai Fairyland?"

Chapter 232: Immortal Land Dilemma

Deng Youfu's heart skipped a beat, but Hu Xiuwu pretended to be relaxed:

"Changbai Fairyland has been run by the shaman lineage for nearly a hundred years. How could something go wrong?"

Hu Xiuwu was not so easily fooled. He asked back, "Really? I thought it was the drastic changes in the inner world ten years ago that caused problems in the fairyland. That's why you were so eager to find the secret of the forbidden forest and find a way out for the fairies."

"I heard from Hagrid that you went into the Forbidden Forest almost every day this year, and sometimes you didn't come out for several days at a time."

The words were like knives, and Hu Xiuwu's eyes seemed to see through people's hearts and were full of penetration. Deng Youfu couldn't help but swallow his saliva and turned to look at Hagrid, as if he was worried that he would accidentally fall off the bed and get into danger.

Seeing that Deng Youfu was very uncooperative and didn't want to talk anymore, Hu Xiuwu continued to talk to himself:

"I believe that wanting to change the environment of Northeast China and allowing traces of immortals to reappear in the wilderness is definitely what Brother Deng really wants. I heard that Brother Deng chose environmental engineering for his undergraduate studies, and his postgraduate studies in England were also related to environmental protection."

"But Brother Deng is a smart man. He should understand that improving the environment of a place is not something that can be accomplished overnight. You suddenly accelerated your plan and even came to Hogwarts to seek a shortcut like the Forbidden Forest. I knew you must have had your own reasons."

After hearing Hu Xiuwu's reasoning, Liu Kunsheng, who was listening to the conversation between the two in Deng Youfu's body, went straight to Deng Youfu's body, staring at Hu Xiuwu fiercely with a pair of vertical pupils full of murderous intent.

The aura on his body burst out like a raging fire, mixed with a biting and chilling murderous intent, like the cold current from Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain all year round, mixed with the violent magma contained at the bottom.

The murderous aura was like a cold current rushing down from the snow-capped mountains, hitting Hu Xiuwu's face with its icy breath. There was also a burning anger hidden in it. Ice and fire were intertwined, making people's limbs numb and their hearts burning. However, Hu Xiuwu did not show any fear and calmly endured the baptism of ice and fire.

Seeing Hu Xiuwu calm and composed, facing his aura calmly, Liu Kunsheng praised: "What a courage! The Hu family has indeed produced a unicorn child."

Deng Youfu's soul said anxiously to Liu Kunsheng in his body:

"Uncle Liu, Hu Jiaxiuwu is also a descendant of our shaman lineage, so there is no need to treat him like this."

Suddenly, the arrogance that had been suppressing Hu Xiuwu disappeared, and Liu Kunsheng said to Deng Youfu unhappily, "I didn't know this yet. I just wanted to scare him and let him know the seriousness of the problem."

After saying this, Liu Kunsheng stared at Hu Xiuwu and said with emotion: "Shangqing is indeed worthy of being a fairy sect that has been passed down for thousands of years. Since you can guess that something happened in Changbai Fairyland, you must also know about the snake that is lurking in the mortal world?"

Not only did he know, but I was the one who dealt him the final blow!

Hu Xiuwu agreed silently. Liu Kunsheng said with emotion: "The death of the snake is indeed a great thing worth celebrating for the world, but for some people in the world, it is indeed a mixed blessing."

The death of the Snake God not only saved the world from the crisis of destruction, but most importantly, it brought about a huge change in the internal scene.

The interior scene is actually the wound torn open by the snake god. When the world tries to heal itself, it is always stopped by the snake god. In the tug of war between the mortal world and the snake god, the origin of the world escapes, forming a subspace that is both real and unreal.

It is inextricably linked to the mortal world, yet illusory and hard to see, like a wound on the back of a mortal, which can be felt but not seen.

Only extraordinary people can see and touch through practice, and gain something from it.

The Changbai Fairyland of the Shaman lineage is even more outrageous. It is nailed to the wound, living in it, and enjoying the convenience brought by the unique spatial structure of the interior.

But as one of the wrestling parties disappeared, the inner scene changed drastically. The inner scene, which had long been a world of its own, was irreversible and could no longer be integrated back into the mortal world, so the wound simply turned into a scar and was no longer integrated into the world.

The inner scene becomes a vassal of the world, just like an old tree with broken branches, new buds sprouting from the wound.

The result of this is that the purple mist contained in the inner scene becomes thicker and more mysterious, and the rules become more strict and the principles become clearer, not as chaotic as before.

This transformation has both advantages and disadvantages. The inner scene has indeed been sublimated, but it has also caused the entry threshold to rise. The requirements for ordinary sorcerers to enter the inner scene are more stringent. In addition to giving up thoughts and purifying the mind, they also need to have a deeper understanding of the changes of the Eight Trigrams and the Six Yao in the Book of Changes.

Originally there was only an interview, but now I have to take two tests, a written test and an interview.

This is true for ordinary sorcerers, not to mention the even larger Changbai Fairyland. As an alien foreign body, the Fairyland has naturally been subjected to greater exclusion. In addition, immortals are rare nowadays, and their power alone is unable to counter the pressure from a whole world.

In the end, they could only rely on Liu Kunsheng's hall as a pillar to condense the Changbai Fairyland, sacrificing its size in exchange for stronger defense.

After the area of ​​the fairyland shrank suddenly, although it was still in danger, it did manage to maintain the stability of the interior. But the price was that the new fairyland could not respond to the call from the three northeastern provinces and accommodate all the fairies.

For this reason, Liu Kunsheng ordered all the immortals who had found disciples to send out as spirit beings to leave the fairyland and temporarily live in the disciples' halls. Only the immortals who had not found disciples remained in the fairyland.

Although Hu Xiuwu and Hu Bayi both regard Hui Erye as their elder, in fact, Hui Erye has the lowest seniority and the lowest cultivation among the immortals, and is the youngest of all the immortals.

Elders are always like this. If they think you are still a fledgling in need of protection, they will act as an umbrella to keep all the trivial matters out.

While blocking the wind and rain, it also blocked the children's view.

"I see. No wonder Brother Deng is so anxious."

After listening to Liu Kunsheng's talk about the plight of the fairyland, Hu Xiuwu became thoughtful.

Ever since the Ghost Tomb tore off a piece of flesh from the Snake God and sublimated into Luo Fengtian, forming a world of its own, Hu Xiuwu has never had this trouble and never expected such a situation to happen.

Deng Youfu said, "So now that you know the seriousness of the problem, remember to keep it a secret and don't let outsiders know. Now is the time when the shaman lineage is at its weakest. If people know that in the Northeast, the disciples can no longer summon the immortals at any time like before, then many of them will be in danger."

"Grandma Guan Shihua has asked all of her disciples to keep a low profile for the time being and not to come out easily."

"I understand."

Hu Xiuwu naturally agreed to keep it a secret. Hui Erye helped Hu Bayi and himself a lot.

He also wanted to help when the shaman lineage encountered problems, but the Beiyin Summoning can only be used on Yin spirits. Although Luofengtian is a large place, it cannot be like a fairyland that allows the immortals in it to communicate with the outside world. Even if all the immortals are transferred to Luofengtian, it is just a larger cage.

Hu Xiuwu asked Deng Youfu about his next plans.

Deng Youfu took a sip of the remaining wine left by Hagrid and Hu Xiuwu: "I will stay here until I figure out the mystery of the Forbidden Forest."

"So what clues have you found now?"

Deng Youfu looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "All clues point to the foreign country that once ruled Europe."

“It’s the source of everything.”

Chapter 233 The Secret of Witchcraft

"What's the connection between the Forbidden Forest and the alien country?"

Even though Wang Hewei and his people had lived on Nasen Island for many years, they could still see fragments of the foreign kingdom in various parts of Europe.

Deng Youfu said in a deep voice: "Although the European continent is vast, in fact, any outstanding magic there is more or less related to the Forest Kingdom."

"Did you know that Merlin, the most famous wizard in England, was once a member of the Forest Kingdom, and his status seemed to be quite high. I have seen records of the Goblet of Fire Tournament in the library. The Goblet of Fire was made by Merlin using the golden branch of the sacred tree that he broke off. The Goblet of Fire was also responsible for selecting the utensils for the Goblet of Fire Tournament."

"It will select contestants who meet the criteria. The winners are said to be eligible to become candidate guards."

"So the previous Goblet of Fire was very dangerous, and there were casualties among contestants in almost every session."

Deng Youfu has been in Hogwarts for more than a year and has read a large number of books about the Forbidden Forest in the Hogwarts library. Unfortunately, there are very few records about the Forest Kingdom. Even in the forbidden book section of the library, not many books about the Forest Kingdom can be found.

The few books that occasionally mention the Forest Kingdom are usually vague.

The history of the Forest Country has been deliberately erased, just like someone who invaded his neighbor's house erasing his own dark history, calling it a co-prosperity sphere and whitewashing morality.

Deng Youfu was in a gloomy mood when talking about this. Even the library at Hogwarts couldn't find any clues about the Forest Kingdom, so it would probably be hard to find it anywhere else in England.

For this reason, he could only use this clumsy method to measure the mysteries of the forbidden forest bit by bit.

If it involves the Forest Kingdom again, then Hu Xiuwu really knows a place where he will definitely gain something if he goes there:

"Master Liu, have you ever heard of Nason Island?"

"Nathan Island?"

Liu Kunsheng thought about it for a while and found that he had no impression of it: "No, what's wrong?"
