From Azkaban

Starting from Enlightenment in Azkaban Author: Huang Dao Jindan

between:

Whose good guy would be sent to Azkaban right after traveling through time, and face Dementors the moment he opens his eyes? !

Looking at the Dementors that were staring at him, Locke screamed loudly in his heart, feeling extremely panicked.

But Locke, knowing that panicking would not solve any problem, started to think. In order to save himself, he made an attempt based on the knowledge from his previous life and succeeded.

And he also successfully embarked on the path of magic.

At the beginning, Locke just wanted to go further on the road of magic, so he thirsted for knowledge, eager to make progress, and imagined the future.

But he soon discovered that on the path of magic, a person's wisdom was too small, and the current situation in the magic world made the path of magic extremely narrow and cramped, making it impossible for people to see the future at all, let alone imagine the future.

After thinking for some time, Locke realized that if personal wisdom was not enough, he would pull the whole world in!

Since the current path of magic is narrow and cramped, and the future cannot be seen, then we should change it, break the narrowness, break through the dilemma, and open up a brand new future!

Locke: The era of stagnation is a thing of the past. Follow me and embrace the future together!

Volume 1: Chapter 1 I’m dying, dying, dying! G, not dead!

"Whose good person goes to Azkaban for further studies right after traveling through time?"

Looking at the ugly face in front of him, Locke felt that he had lost all desire to live.

Just a few seconds ago, he was awakened from his sleep by a bone-chilling coldness and inexplicable fear.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a monster floating in the air, covered in black rags, tall, without eyeballs, with a thin layer of gray scabs covering the empty eye sockets, rotten and scabbed skin, and a mouth like an irregular black hole.

My goodness, Locke was almost frightened to death the moment he opened his eyes, and he almost didn't recover. At that moment, he roughly received the memories of his previous incarnation and understood his current situation.

He, Locke, a young man who used to work from nine to five, had two days off a week, earned 8k a month, was single, and had two houses at home, now traveled through time and space and became an illegal wizard who had just been imprisoned in Azkaban.

Locke had only one thought in his mind, "You bastard, you are really good at it. It's your first day here, and you're already changing people before you've even been sucked. You really can't stand the pain of prison and depression!"

"Also, who approved this piece of shit? Did they ask for my opinion? They just fixed the pants for me."

Is this really appropriate? If there were no channels, Locke would have complained. Really, look at this politeness yourself? At least give an orphan a start!

But Locke was in a mess, and the Dementors floating in his control were not like that. There was no movement, and the white mist representing happiness began to be sucked out of Locke's face.

The Dementor's irregular, black hole-like mouth began to suck in Locke's storm of happiness like a vacuum cleaner.

"Giggle~"

As the white mist was inhaled, the Dementor's throat occasionally emitted a gurgling sound, similar to that of a dying person.

"Forehead....."

The moment he was sucked in, Locke felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss. All kinds of negative emotions emerged in his heart. He began to feel extremely desperate, and even his thinking began to slow down.

"I'm dying, dying, dying! This thing is so powerful! Is there a system? Please help me! System! Dad! Godfather! Wife!"

Adhering to the concept that time travel should be given to the system, Locke shouted "Dad" in his heart, but there was no response.

Just as Locke fell into despair and thought that he might try to break the record for the fastest death of a traverser by committing suicide, his consciousness that was falling towards the abyss suddenly fell to the ground.

"Ok?"

Locke opened his eyes and found himself in a bizarre world. Suddenly, he found himself in a normal mood, no longer desperate and emo.

Apparently, he seemed immune to the Dementors' draining effects by being here.

"system?"

Standing in this bizarre world, Locke shouted tentatively.

"........."

After waiting for a while, there was no response. Locke frowned. Just when he was at a loss, the world in front of him suddenly began to shatter rapidly, and the fragments were flying towards him quickly.

"!"

Looking at the huge fragments falling towards him, Locke wanted to hide, but found that he could not move at all except his eyes.

So Locke could only stare at the debris, not knowing what to do.

"drink!!"

Lying on the cold and damp ground, Locke did a sit-up, his upper body straightened up, his eyes wide open, his mouth half open, making the sound that only a suffocating person would make when suddenly breathing in oxygen.

"What was that just now?!"

After taking a few quick breaths, Locke slowly got up from the ground and sat on the floor of the cell, leaning against the wall.

“I thought I was going to explain.”

Locke's face was a little pale. The strange space he had just entered was completely shattered in the end, and all of it fell on him.

At this moment, Locke was really thinking a thousand fucks in his heart. He had just traveled through time and it was so exciting. First, he experienced a few seconds of having his happiness squeezed out and despair reaching his soul. Then he was hit again. Locke still had the lingering pain of being smashed into a paste.

"What on earth is that space? Why did it shatter and collapse right after I entered it? The fragments also hit me like they were guided."

Recalling the scene he had just faced, Locke quickly checked his own situation and did not find any difference. Instead, because of careful thinking and recalling the few seconds he was squeezed by the Dementors, he shuddered.

"It seems that I was overthinking it, but it was also thanks to entering that space that I was able to avoid the Dementor's absorption just now. I don't know why."

"Compared to the despair and pain brought by being devoured by Dementors, I would rather feel the phantom pain of being crushed to death. It's a pity that the place has collapsed, and it is highly likely that I will never be able to get in again."

Locke, who had just felt a wave of real despair, chose to find the joy in misery. In this shabby place, he could only amuse himself. After all, the cell opposite him was empty.

He didn't sit against the wall for long because the ground was still quite cold, and Azkaban's special class uniforms were not warm enough, so Locke chose to go to bed.

"Hey, actually time travel is not without its benefits. At least I got to inherit the real magic, the extraordinary power, and the most unreasonable idealistic magic."

Sitting on the bed, Locke lowered his eyes, feeling the "magic" inherited from his predecessor.

"But there are only a few magics that I can perform. I don't know the most distinctive Transfiguration, and I can barely perform the Shield Charm. As for the dark magic, I only know some flying sand and rocks and a few curses. I can't even perform the Apparition."

Locke was a little disappointed after completely inheriting the legacy of his predecessor. He could only say that he was worthy of being a wizard with an English name.

After quickly finishing the magic, Locke turned to feel the basic situation of his predecessor. First of all, the magic power. The magic power in his body was average, but without a magic wand in his hand, the magic power could not be mobilized.

"With this level of ability, they actually dared to engage in shady business under the nose of the Ministry of Magic. Should we call it brave or stupid?"

After browsing his memories, Locke already knew why his predecessor was arrested. The charge was reselling stolen goods and he was sentenced to seven years in prison. This was enough to show that he had indeed done something big.

Seven years? How should I put it? It’s a long time, long enough for this idiot predecessor to go completely crazy in it.

"No wonder you gave up on the first day. You should have some understanding of your feelings. It would have been great if you had known this earlier."

He dug up the last memory before he came here, which was full of regrets from his previous life, fear of Azkaban, and panicky fantasies about what would happen to him in the future.

"You just quit and let it go, and now I have to suffer for you. It's really fucked up."

Locke tried to mobilize the magic power in his body to cast a spell, but it was obviously not working.

The magic wand is an indispensable part of the power system of this world. It is not impossible to cast spells without a magic wand, but that is only for the big guys. For a noob like my predecessor, it is absolutely impossible to cast spells without a magic wand.

"No, I have to save myself. After all, I have traveled through time. If I really go crazy in this damn place, I will be at a huge loss!"

Locke pursed his lips. He had just arrived and faced the Dementors head-on, and he had no chance to sort out the current situation.

Now that the situation has been sorted out, Locke has truly felt the beauty of magic from the memories of his previous incarnation.

At this moment, the extraordinary magic is almost at hand, but he cannot touch it. He can only be tortured by the Dementors in this ghost place, and then one day he will go completely crazy and die, dying when he has half a foot in the door.

Locke couldn't accept this kind of thing. He came to the magical world and became a wizard, but he didn't let go of any magic until his death. It was too outrageous no matter how he thought about it.

Volume 1: Chapter 2 Visualization, Balance

"Dementors. The biggest problem I'm facing right now is Dementors. If I want to escape from prison, Dementors will be the biggest obstacle."

Sitting on the bed, feeling the cold breeze blowing in from the corridor outside the cell door, Locke suddenly moved his ears, and a female voice full of fear and pleading came into the cell along with the cool breeze.

"No! No! I don't want it! Don't come near me! Please!"

The sound was mixed with choked sobs and soon cut off. It was obvious that the Dementors had begun to feed.

Listening to the sound in the wind, Locke's face looked ugly. He knew that if he didn't find a way to save himself, this would be his fate tomorrow.

"If I want to escape from prison, the first thing I have to do is to solve the Dementors' daily "feeding". If I don't solve that, I will probably be in a trance soon. At that time, let alone escape from prison, it will be extremely difficult to maintain normal thinking."

Locke was very clear about his situation. He was just an ordinary person. Although he inherited the legacy of his predecessor, he was still an ordinary person in spirit.

He didn't think his will was strong enough to withstand the torture of the Dementors. Even other powerful Death Eaters in the cell couldn't withstand the torture for long and became insane. He, an ordinary person, would be even weaker.

"On the surface, the Dementors' feeding is to devour happy and positive memories and emotions, but in essence, it is the three aspects of the mind, heart, and soul. So if I want to avoid a mental breakdown and resist the Dementors' "feeding", I need to start with these three aspects."

"Don't think about magic anymore."

Although Locke inherited the legacy of his predecessor and had a certain understanding of magic, it was only a certain understanding. After all, his predecessor was a player whose Iron Armor Spell was sometimes effective and sometimes not.

"So if I want to find a way out, I can only rely on the knowledge from my previous life."

Thinking of this, Locke felt extremely awkward. In just one sleep, he had lived two lives.

"Logically speaking, the rules of the two worlds are different, but this is the Harry Potter world, and the system has idealistic attributes, so it is not impossible."

Soul, mind and body, these three things are the foundation of the wizards in this world in Locke's view, and idealism is one of the fundamental logics of this world system.

Most of the wizard's magic is idealistic, and the first prerequisite for releasing many magics is firm belief.

Simply put, it is to influence the world with your own ideas, based on magic, and use your firm belief to catalyze magic, allowing it to serve as fuel to achieve your goals.

Belief is the goal, and magic is the means to achieve the goal. Firm belief can make the means more decisive, fast, effective and powerful.

So in Locke's view, the magic of this world is simply an omnipotent energy element that can do all kinds of incredible things.

Within the framework of the wizard's idealistic magic system, it can change into any shape according to the wizard's wishes.

If that is the case, why can't it be transformed into Locke's shape?

Even if the knowledge Locke is going to bring out is completely different from the existing magic framework, the framework of this world was not like this originally, it was also created by someone.

What Locke has to do now is to move the framework of another world over, then firmly believe in his own theory, and then put magic into his own framework and make it become his own shape.

There is also the Celestial Empire in this world, and the cultural system is basically the same, so Locke felt that as long as he firmly believed that his theory was feasible, the possibility of success was not low.

"I hope it works. I don't have much time to waste. Considering the worst outcome, I probably only have a week. If I don't succeed in a week, I will probably become mentally ill and have no energy to think about other things. My mind will be filled with despair and negative depression."

Thinking of the feeling when being sucked by the Dementors, Locke clenched his fists. A week, this was an optimistic judgment he made based on the feeling he had just felt for a few seconds, but it might actually be less.

This is all the time he has to save himself. After this time, he will have no chance.

Loosening his clenched fists, Locke climbed onto the bed, sat cross-legged on the bed, placed his palms flat on his knees with his palms facing down, and began his first visualization since coming to this world.

Visualization is mainly practiced in Buddhism, but also in Taoism. It is a method of concentrating the mind on visualizing a certain object and resisting all kinds of negative desires and distracting thoughts, so as to achieve inner purification and peace.

In the previous world, Locke used this method to pursue the balance and emptiness of mind and heart, which had lasted for several years before he traveled through time.

Through long-term meditation, Locke achieved very good results in maintaining his own peace of mind.

Moreover, his control over his desires and emotions has also been greatly enhanced. At the same time, combined with his daily life experiences and what he sees on the Internet, he can also improve the realm of his spiritual thoughts.

Now that he has come to this extraordinary world with magic, the first thing Locke thinks of when facing difficulties is naturally this.

"Whoo~~~"

As he began to visualize, Locke, who had long been accustomed to it, quickly entered the state. His breathing began to slow down and become long, and the cold wind from the outside was gradually blocked.

As the visualization began, in Locke's consciousness, two yin and yang fish, one black and one white, which were very blurry, did not look solid, had only rough shapes, and were far apart, suddenly appeared.

The Yin-Yang fish is a component of the Tai Chi diagram, and the object that Locke chose to visualize was the Tai Chi diagram.

The reason why Locke chose the Tai Chi diagram is because Locke believed that people need to pursue a balance, whether it is physical or mental, or in other words, the body and soul are a yin and yang system that needs to be balanced. Only when the yin and yang are balanced can people be healthy and energetic.

The Book of Changes says that the movement of Yin and Yang is the law of movement of all things, and the Tai Chi diagram is a microcosm of the philosophy of Yin and Yang movement.

Therefore, Locke chose the Tai Chi diagram as his object of visualization, and he visualized it for several years.

Now, having come to the new world, Locke naturally would not give up the Tai Chi diagram that he had been visualizing for so long.

But this time, as the visualization began, Locke's visualization was different from the very beginning.

First of all, there is the Yin-Yang fish that appeared in Locke’s consciousness, which was not in the original visualization.

Locke's original vision was that as his attention focused and distracting thoughts were cleared, a complete Tai Chi diagram would gradually emerge in his mind.

As time went by, Locke's mind became calmer and free of distractions, the Tai Chi diagram became clearer and began to rotate.

The Tai Chi diagram is essentially a product of Locke's imagination based on his impression and understanding of the Tai Chi diagram. It is a carrier that can hold all thoughts, free one's mind from distractions and empty one's heart. It is a product of subjective consciousness.
