Chapter 14 Variables

Chapter 14 Variables

The visitor was wearing a gray robe and a white beard. At first glance, he looked no different from an ordinary old man.

"Come to see you. As far as I know, not many people stay at school during the holidays." The old man waved his hand and motioned Mu Yu to sit down, "Xiao Yu, how are you doing?"

Mu Yu flipped his hands casually. The page in the book changed the topic: "Grandpa Xu, your injury is not healed yet, so there is no need to travel so far just to see me. I am living a good life," she seemed to realize something, "Hogwarts prohibits Phantom migration, not even the teleportation talisman, how did you get in?"

"No matter how strong the defense is, there will be loopholes," Xu Yu did not answer her question directly, but laughed, "You and Zihuai are exactly the same in this regard."

Zi. Huai is the word for grandpa. Xu Yu should be the person who knows her grandfather best, so she won't miss the growing bitterness in his smile.

"Did something happen to grandpa?"

Her voice was trembling.

"Xiao Yu..."

Mu Yu never had much patience when it came to certain matters: "As the dean of Kunlun College, you are coming here at this time, and it is by no means as simple as coming to see me."

Xu Yu looked at her with eyes full of pity. , which made her even more uncomfortable.

"I have advised Zihuai many times that concealment is never the best way. You are so smart, you will find out by yourself one day. I really came here today to see you, and then I have to tell you something against his wishes. "

Mu Yu calmed down at this time, but the bad premonition in his heart became stronger.

"You know the history. Once upon a time, the clan was rampant in Kyushu. When foreign tribes invaded, the founder of Kunlun College persuaded the clan to hand over the inheritance, that is, the dharma lineage. He broke the blood-based inheritance method of the dharma lineage and changed it to the teacher-teacher method. Protect the orthodoxy of the Central Plains. Xiaoyu, you understand the importance of Dharma."

She didn't know why Xu Yu would talk to her about history at this time, but she still followed his words.

"The Dharma is derived from the Dharma. Without the Dharma, monks will not be able to understand the Dharma, let alone draw exquisite talismans, perform advanced formations, and smelt powerful magic weapons. Other ancient civilizations also have Dharma, but because of Kunlun College The establishment of the Jiuzhou Dharma Lineage has made it the most concentrated. "

Grandpa has praised the greatness of the founder of Kunlun College more than once, but it is a pity that it cannot be compared with the fickle human heart.

"The Mu family did not hand over the Dharma back then. This has always been a thorn in the hearts of some people in Kunlun College." When Xu Yu said this, he seemed to be a little sad. "Plus your father later..."

Mu Yu felt that his breathing was stagnant. .

"Didn't my father... die in a plane crash?"

The next words seemed to be very difficult for Xu Yu. Mu Yu had never felt that the whole school was so quiet.

"Your father was killed by your grandfather himself."

The wand originally held in her hand made a loud bang.

"Don't get me wrong. It's... not easy for him either. Your father's name is Mu Yi. He betrayed the Mu family and revealed that the Mu family had an incredible magic weapon. It was taken from the essence of heaven and earth. After being refined, it was enough to revive human flesh and white bones, and even The road to eternal life. For people like us, who wouldn’t want to live another life? At that time, I was a deacon of Kunlun College, and the dean of Kunlun College and other deacons threatened you. Grandma was weak and didn't want Zihuai to be in trouble, so she committed suicide immediately. Later, they attacked Mingyuan Mountain, and Zihuai managed to frighten them by killing the former dean of Kunlun College. However, his foundation was damaged and his health deteriorated from then on. "

He tried his best to sound calm, but Mu Yu could still imagine the horror of the battle back then. She always listened carefully, as if she was just listening to a story.

It's just that the grass beneath her will be uprooted by her.

"When Zihuai found Mu Yi, he originally wanted to imprison him forever, but he accidentally killed Mu Yi during the fight between the two. Your mother also died in childbirth. Apart from him, you are the only one left in the entire Mu family," Xu Yu He sighed heavily and said, "Actually, there is no Dharma weapon in the Mu family. Even the Dharma line itself is just a tool. People without the Dharma lineage can still practice mental methods and explore the avenue. It's a pity that the dependence on the Dharma lineage has been deep-rooted for thousands of years."

"Resurrection...medium..." Mu Yu could only think of the words that could still be recognized on the paper.

Does the Mu family really have no treasure? She clearly understood that this was not something she could ask now.

"Grandpa used to teach in Kunlun. He said that Dharma veins are like crutches. If normal people rely on crutches for a long time, they will gradually no longer be able to walk." Mu Yu looked at Cao Fa Shen who was uprooted by her. "Many powerful wizards in the West There is no Dharma lineage."

It sounded like she was not touched by her father at all.

"They even created magic spells, potions, and alchemy on their own, which are no worse than our formations and weapon refining. Civilizations that focus on the legal system explore more metaphysical things, such as life and soul, while other civilizations are obsessed with studying practical inventions. ."

The topic eventually returned to the Mu family.

"At that time, the college had a backup plan. They gave your grandfather a poison. Over the years, the poison invaded the body..."

He said this carefully, as if he was afraid that Mu Yu wouldn't be able to bear it in the next second.

However, Mu Yu just shrank back and looked up at the sky at the beginning of the snow, as if he was asking or saying to himself: "They did so much just to save their lives, just to live forever. The worldly power is not enough for them to squander, eternal life." It’s really that good”

is so stupid.

Those in the academy have emptied themselves of worldly power and possess power beyond the world. They know that people's hearts are controlled by them and their beliefs are built by them, but they still dream of an eternity of nothingness.

Since they don't cherish it, there will always be someone who will.

She was startled when the idea came to her.

What kind of power do you want

was what she asked Tom in return, but it turned into a torture to herself over and over again.

"Xiaoyu..."

Xu Yu probably wanted to comfort her, but she never needed any comfort.

He described other things in detail, but omitted only his parents, as if he was avoiding something.

"Grandpa Xu, you are my grandfather's friend. Your injuries must also be caused by Kunlun College. Having said that, I just want to ask you to tell me whether my parents once studied at Hogwarts. My mother Who is it?"

She didn't want to know the reason why her father betrayed the family.

All she knew was...she hated him.

I hate this father I have never met, I hate his disregard for human relations, and I hate his ruthlessness. If it hadn't been for Mu Yi's betrayal...

maybe there would still be a chance that she could have a complete and happy family.

Xu Yu seemed to understand her concerns. She didn't know why, but she always felt that Xu Yu's feelings when he mentioned his mother were very strange: "Kunlun College had a lot of objections to Zihuai before knowing about the Mu family's magic weapon. The clan's children occasionally visited Kunlun The college was killed in an accident. In order to preserve the only bloodline of the Mu family, Zihuai took great pains to send Mu Yi to England. Mu Yi met your mother at Hogwarts."

"She is just an ordinary witch and knows nothing. "

The last sentence is the final word.

Xu Yu seemed to be full of strange sympathy for her mother.

Maybe we should sympathize with people like Tan Shang Mu Yi.

Mu Yu felt his head buzzing. Xu Yu had said so much, but in the end only one sentence remained.

"Over the years, toxins have invaded the body..."

Xu Yu's voice seemed to be far away: "To tell you this, I am just worried that you will become more resentful to Zihuai in the future if you are used by someone with intentions. He really loves you and has mentioned his only hope countless times. What I want is that you are safe and happy. Xiaoyu, you are obviously very lonely, why deny it?"

He seemed to weigh for a long time before saying the next words: "I know that the things at school in the past hurt you a lot, but as a person looking at you Elders who have grown up, I still want to say that while you are suffering, your relatives are also suffering the same suffering."

Mu Yu had already stood up, patted the snow on his body, and bowed deeply to him. She bowed and said solemnly: "Thank you for taking the risk to tell me this. I will settle all these accounts with those people one day." She picked up the book and walked towards the castle, not taking a few steps. But then she looked back at Xu Yu helplessly, "But there is one thing you may have misunderstood. I have never resented grandpa."

After saying that, she ran towards the castle in the distance, and changed direction when she was about to reach the castle. Heading towards the shore of the Black Lake.

She sat on the edge of the black lake, staring at the boundless lake in a daze. There is still an osmanthus cake sent by grandpa in the space ring.

Mu Yu took out one and ate it bit by bit. She rarely cries because her grandfather taught her that crying is the behavior of a weak person, especially crying in front of others shows her weakness to others.

The sweeter the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, the more bitter the heart becomes. The tears mixed with the sweetness of the moon cakes slid down bit by bit. First came the tears. Sobbed quietly again.

Even though she knew from a very young age that nothing lasts forever, when she really faced separation, she suddenly understood why so many people longed for eternity.

She suddenly understood why her grandfather had always kept secrets about her father since she was a child. Grandpa, I feel very painful inside. He killed his son with his own hands, and at this time, he faced the coming end alone.

How could she resent him? She was already his only relative.

"What did Pansy and the others do again?"

Mu Yu was startled by the sudden sound. It was rare to see people by the black lake during the holiday.

It was the tall, lanky boy she met at the party. He stood on the gentle slope above the lake shore for who knows how long.

When she saw a stranger, Mu Yu wiped away her tears as quickly as possible. Except for the redness and swelling in her eyes, she looked no different from usual: "They don't have the ability yet."

Daphne mentioned this boy to her, Theo. Donote. He doesn't gather in groups like others, and most of the time he does his own thing quietly.

If it weren't for the constant praise from Snape in Potions class, Theodore Nott would have been almost invisible.

Mu Yu had hardly spoken to him since the beginning of school, or she had never seen Theodore Nott say unnecessary words to anyone.

But it was beyond her expectation that he chose to stay at the castle during the holidays.

Theodore Nott moved his lips, as if he wanted to continue to say something, but in the end he just moved a few steps forward: "There is a stove in the castle, it will be warmer."

"I know, thank you." Short words Mu Yu had returned to normal within a few seconds. She had always been gentle and polite to everyone, and she couldn't fault anything in terms of etiquette.

She said this, but she made no move at all.

Theodore Nott continued to stand on the lawn, seeming to be looking at the Black Lake, and seeming to be hesitating, and finally he turned around and was about to leave.

"Merry Christmas."

After taking a few steps, he came back and said to the figure whose back was turned to him again.

"Merry Christmas."

Her reply was as formal as if it was recorded.

No different than answering the others.
