The demon monk in the second dimension

Zhang Zhiwei looked serious and quickly pressed Xia Zhi's wrist to take his pulse.

After a while, his brow relaxed slightly, and he felt relieved.

"This is due to excessive consumption of energy, which has damaged your vitality."

He went back into the house, took out a small porcelain bottle, poured out a greenish-blue pill the size of a broad bean and fed it to Xia Zhi, then gave him the whole bottle.

"This is a Nourishing Essence Pill. Take one pill each morning and evening. In the evening, stew a hen with old ginseng to replenish your energy. Do not practice Qi cultivation these days."

"Yes, master."

Xia Zhi put away the small porcelain bottle and was helped to rest on the bed by Zhang Zhiwei.

At this moment, Tian Jinzhong, who had heard the commotion, also rushed over.

"Senior brother, what happened? Huaiyi? You big-eared thief, you're finally back!"

Upon seeing Zhang Huaiyi, whom he hadn't seen for decades, he wasn't just happy, he was extremely happy!

But seeing Tian Jinzhong's hands, Zhang Huaiyi felt extremely guilty.

He knelt down in front of Tian Jinzhong with a thud, tears streaming down his face.

"Junior Brother Tian, ​​I, Zhang Huaiyi, have wronged you!"

"Get up quickly!"

Tian Jinzhong quickly stretched out his hands. Using his prosthetic legs, he managed to pull Zhang Huaiyi up from the ground.

Even Zhang Huaiyi's body was suspended in mid-air.

"We've been fellow disciples for decades, why bring this up! Our junior disciples are still alive!"

Tian Jinzhong grabbed Zhang Huaiyi's arm and turned to look at Xia Zhi.

"What is this, so small?"

Zhang Zhiwei waved his hand.

"It's nothing serious, just that I was overexerted."

He looked Zhang Huaiyi up and down and sighed.

"We're all getting old, but you, Big Ears, look like a middle-aged man!"

With red eyes, Zhang Huaiyi wiped his eyes and said apologetically.

"Senior brother, junior brother Tian. I shaved my beard, dyed my hair, and put on makeup."

Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong: →_→

Zhang Zhiwei sneered.

"Hey, that big-eared thief is a big-eared thief. After spending half a century down in the mountains, he's finally caught up with the fashion!"

Tian Jinzhong also chimed in.

"Unlike my senior brother and me, we only wear Taoist robes all day long. We're practically country bumpkins!"

The familiar tone immediately reminded Zhang Huaiyi of how he and his fellow disciples used to joke around like this on Longhu Mountain.

But now, only three of them remain from their generation.

……

The three hadn't seen each other for half a century. Xia Zhi was told to rest well, while he went out to catch up with old friends.

That evening, Zhang Zhiwei introduced Zhang Huaiyi, who had removed his makeup and dyed his hair white again, to his fellow disciples.

"This is your Uncle Huaiyi."

Communication was not advanced in those days, and there was no "big mouth" in Longhu Mountain.

While Dou Le was still painstakingly preparing for potential conflicts between the supernatural beings, some supernatural beings who learned of Zhang Huaiyi's appearance and the emergence of the Qi Source Flow also began to act with greed.

But they had no idea, and could never have imagined, that Zhang Huaiyi, who had been hiding in anonymity for nearly half a century and unwilling to involve the Celestial Master's Mansion, had already returned to Longhu Mountain.

It's still done through a long-distance teleportation spell like Apparition.

After a week of rest and finishing a bottle of Peiyuan Dan, Xia Zhi recovered.

These days, he has also been thinking about who could have harmed Tian Jinzhong.

"First of all, Uncle Tian himself did not know the identities of those people, otherwise he would never have been let go alive. There are far too many sects of extraordinary people who have their eyes on the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, so it is not surprising that a few people from the Quanxing group would dare to provoke Longhu Mountain."

"Wang Ai, Lü Ci, Xia Liuqing, Mei Jinfeng, Ruan Feng from Nasen Island, and that group of immortals from Changbai Mountain... these are all people who came from back then, and it's necessary to question them one by one!"

Chapter 301 A Letter from Hogwarts

But not now.

Xia Zhi discovered that although he could defeat Zhang Huaiyi and was not invincible against the Old Celestial Master, he was still far from being able to do whatever he wanted.

Putting aside everything else, even traveling from the Qinling Mountains to Longhu Mountain in a phantom form, covering a mere two thousand miles, was quite strenuous.

After actually getting to know them, Xia Zhi discovered that magic such as Apparition and Transformation was not as bad as he had imagined. The Thunder Technique of Controlling the Five Elements with the Five Thunders was also very sophisticated and even had some benefits for the user.

This is probably why Luo Hao was willing to become a god-slayer as a training ground to understand the powers of other gods, learn from their experiences, and draw inferences from one instance to another.

It's because this ancient demon has been having a smooth run of success lately, and he's become arrogant and overconfident.

Summer Solstice's true form immediately became alert.

After a thorough self-examination during his seclusion, Xia Zhi discovered that his primordial spirit had been affected by the Demon Heart Sword Scripture and the Crimson Light Sword.

Although it's not exactly a backlash, one is a demonic sword light condensed from the seven emotions and six desires, which is most bewitching to the mind and spirit; the other is an Extreme Spirit Demon Sword that devours the flesh and blood of hundreds of millions of living beings, with demonic energy soaring to the sky.

Xia Zhi's primordial spirit had suffered a severe injury before, and although she had just recovered from a serious illness, she was still susceptible to some stubborn minor ailments.

he sighed.

"That's how demonic cultivation is; one can easily be influenced by the techniques and lose sight of one's true nature. Fortunately, Blood God Child discovered it in time. Otherwise, even his physical form would have become arrogant and conceited, and he probably wouldn't be far from death."

To the old master's surprise, Xia Zhi had been quietly studying the Taoist scriptures for the past month and occasionally asked questions that even he found difficult to answer.

The old celestial master asked Xia Zhi a strange and very direct question.

"Xiao Zhi, did something happen to you at Hogwarts?"

This is the Old Master. He doesn't try to be mysterious, nor does he say strange things that others can't understand. His temperament is just like that of an ordinary old man, very genuine.

“I had previously heard about Uncle Tian’s situation, and I also heard about Uncle Zhang’s nearly fifty years of hiding in XZ, unable to live a peaceful life. I felt indignant and had an uncontrollable urge to kill. I was worried that I would cause a huge mess that would affect the Celestial Master’s Mansion of Longhu Mountain, so I read the Taoist scriptures to calm my mind.”

Before Xia Zhi lies "On Nourishing Life" by Qiu Chuji, also known as Changchunzi, which discusses the way to maintain health.

"Moreover, Uncle Huaiyi has expended too much energy over the years, and his lifespan is much shorter than that of ordinary extraordinary people. This disciple would like to think of a solution from these Taoist scriptures."

Zhang Zhiwei thought about it. With Xia Zhi's strength, which even Zhang Huaiyi, a master of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, could not withstand, if he really acted recklessly, then something big would definitely happen in the world of supernatural beings.

However, Zhang Zhiwei was very happy that Xia Zhi, who usually did whatever she wanted, was actually thinking of restraining herself this time.

"Since ancient times, the only hardship is death. The highest ideal of our Taoist school is nothing more than to ascend to immortality. But after searching through history books, there are very few who have achieved immortality. It's not that easy."

Xia Zhiwei was very gratified that Xia Zhiwei empathized with the plight of Tian Jinzhong and Zhang Huaiyi, first bringing Tian Jinzhong a prosthetic limb that would allow him to move freely, and then searching for a way to prolong Zhang Huaiyi's life.

“Your martial uncle is in poor health, but Longhu Mountain is not destitute. After returning to the mountain, he began to recuperate, and with the help of elixirs, he is fine these days.”

Before returning to Longhu Mountain, Zhang Huaiyi was always on edge.

He not only had to avoid being discovered by other extraordinary individuals, but also planned to find out who betrayed the thirty-six sworn brothers back then, and he didn't want Longhu Mountain to be affected by the Qi Source Flow.

Just like Xu Xiang, who tried his best to cover up Feng Baobao's identity and acted as a temporary worker, he was exhausted.

Now that I'm back at Longhu Mountain, seeing my familiar yet unfamiliar fellow disciples, I feel much more relieved.

In just ten days, Zhang Huaiyi had already shown signs of aging, causing Zhang Yude to lose sleep at night.

Although the Old Celestial Master was more than ten years older than Zhang Huaiyi, his mental state was much better.

"As for the feud between your Uncle Tian and Uncle Zhang... I and Longhu Mountain are also among the Ten Elders, and we have the responsibility to assist Nadutong Company in maintaining stability in the world of supernatural beings. If no one offends Longhu Mountain, my Celestial Master's Mansion cannot cause them trouble because of the Thirty-Six Thieves back then. After all, all the sects paid a considerable price for it back then."

So even though he later learned that Zhang Huaiyi was dead, he took many people with him on his journey.

Zhang Zhiwei also couldn't just leave the mountain to handle Zhang Huaiyi's funeral arrangements.

He couldn't directly protect Zhang Chulan, lest people think that the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master's Mansion also coveted the Qi Body Source Flow, exacerbating the conflict in the world of supernatural beings caused by the Eight Extraordinary Techniques. Instead, he needed to use the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony to make Zhang Chulan the successor of the next Longhu Mountain Celestial Master, thus providing him with protection.

However, at the same time, Xia Zhi also understood what Zhang Zhiwei was saying.

Longhushan will not take the initiative to stand up for Zhang Huaiyi, as that would damage the tacit understanding between them and the company.

But if anyone is foolish enough to cause trouble, don't blame the Old Master for being ruthless.

The thunder magic of the Celestial Master's Mansion is not something you can just boast about; it's something you can actually create!

After all, Tian Jinzhong and Zhang Huaiyi were both junior brothers whom Zhang Zhiwei regarded as brothers. The Old Celestial Master would be even angrier than Xia Zhi at their tragic fates!

……

While Xia Zhi was constantly studying Taoist scriptures, an owl flew across the ocean and brought her a letter from Hogwarts.

This is the school admission notice, instructing you to go to King's Cross Station on September 1st, the summer solstice, to board the Hogwarts Express, and also includes the reading list for the second year.

Essential for second-grade students: *Standard Spells, Level 2*, *Breaking Up with the Female Ghost*, *Traveling with a Ghoul*, *Vacation with a She-Devil*, *Walking with a Troll*, *Boat Trip with a Vampire*, *Wandering with a Werewolf*, *A Year with the XZ Snowman*...

Looking at this long list of books, Xia Zhi knew that a certain novelist who was both pretentious and weak, and only particularly skilled at forgetting spells, was coming to teach at Hogwarts.

"Isn't Lupin a pretty good teacher? Why doesn't he continue as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"

After all, they are separated by the ocean and located on two continents, Asia and Europe. Xia Zhi had no idea what had happened in the British magical world that led Dumbledore to have to find a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

"Although Gilderoy Lockhart is weak, incompetent, and loves to show off, at least getting his autograph from the forbidden section is easy. And I've also eaten the most threatening Basilisk. I wonder what kind of expression Voldemort's remnant soul will have when it enters the Chamber of Secrets and finds the Basilisk gone."

Xia Zhi smiled.

"Set a small goal: devour the remnant soul in Voldemort's diary, and then read all the books in the Hogwarts restricted area within a year. Having a professor as eccentric as Lockhart is a rare find in the entire history of Hogwarts!"

Chapter 302 The beginning of school season

A week before the start of Hogwarts, Xia Zhi bid farewell to everyone at Longhu Mountain.

He rode his Nimbus 2000, almost crossing Asia and Europe, flying to school all by himself.

In his letter from Hogwarts, Dumbledore informed Xia Zhi that she was now a second-year student. Although Longhu Mountain and Hogwarts were far apart, she no longer enjoyed the professors' pick-up and drop-off service.

After all, the little wizard from neighboring India also had to make his own way to King's Cross Station in London, so it wouldn't be appropriate to make an exception for the summer solstice.

Zhang Zhiwei originally said that Xia Zhi could take a plane to England—as one of the Ten Elders of the Celestial Masters, he could easily hitch a ride on a plane.

But Xia Zhi refused.

"This is so boring, Master!"

Xia Zhi spoke eloquently.

"It's only interesting if someone flies all the way from Longhu Mountain to Hogwarts!"

Since Xia Zhi said so, and considering that he was using a flying vehicle, the old master just let it go.

After he found Zhang Huaiyi and his two grandchildren, Zhang Zhiwei no longer treated Xia Zhi as a child, but rather as an outstanding disciple of Longhu Mountain.

Zhang Zhiwei had a premonition: for Xia Zhi, the position of Celestial Master might be more of a constraint than an honor.

After all, the Celestial Master's Decree, besides being a thousand-year-old tradition of the Celestial Master's Mansion, is also a kind of restrictive spell.

……

Although the average speed of the Nimbus 2000 is 200 kilometers per hour, this is not its maximum speed.

In the empty sky, Xia Zhi pushed the speed of the Nimbus 2000 to its limit, speeding up the flying broom.

He felt that there wasn't much difference in control between flying on a sword and flying on a broomstick.

On the evening of the third day after leaving Longhushan, Xia Zhi, who never stopped, completed the journey from Longhushan to London in thirty-six hours.

After packing the tired Nimbus 2000 into his suitcase, Summer Solstice arrives at the Leaky Cauldron.

From the outside, the bar was small, dirty, and poorly lit.

But Xia Zhi believes that this was intentional on the part of the bar owner, Tom Abbott.

Because the Leaky Cauldron is actually located at 1 Diagon Alley. Passing the bar counter, you'll find a small courtyard surrounded by walls on all sides.

Diagon Alley is behind the wall with the trash cans.
