Chapter 3 Beginning:

Platform nine and three-quarters is the cleanest time half an hour before the train departs. Mist enveloped the red train, and the enchanted brush was busy cleaning the train. Other than that, there seemed to be no moving creatures on the entire platform.

Mu Yu sat in the corner booth and brushed away the mist from the window. There was a heavy book on the table, but now she could not read a single word.

The platform was extremely quiet, so much so that sounds that could never appear here could easily fill the platform.

Screaming, cursing, being mean, taunting, chasing... If she hadn't dreamed of that room in the past few years, these would have been the only elements that occupied her dreams.

Sometimes she looked forward to dreaming about that room. At least a completely unfamiliar environment was far better than the familiar past that made her almost tired.

She maintained the same posture and looked out the window until the empty platform was filled with noisy crowds. Students pushing their pets and their parents who came to see them off kept walking back and forth on the platform, mixed with the strange sounds of various animals.

Only then did she open the book again and read quietly. She happened to turn to a new page, and the title stood out: Soul Vessel.

"There are people everywhere, full of half-bloods and mudbloods. If my mother hadn't insisted on adhering to the family tradition, I would be in Durmstrang now."

"My mother dislikes Durmstrang for being too far away! But that's not even possible. It’s nothing! Being taught magic by a crazy old man is much scarier than going to the north.” As

time went by, noisy voices gradually occupied this temporarily quiet corner, among which the most sharp voices of a man and a woman attracted the most attention. After listening to it for a while, you can tell that the content is not much better.

Mu Yu seemed to have not heard anything and kept reading.

"The soul container is one of the most complex and mysterious methods in weapon refining. In a certain sense, the soul container can be said to be a human-made weapon spirit. The natural weapon spirit is born from the aura of heaven and earth, and its bell spirit is beautiful, which is very different from the man-made weapon spirit. Therefore, the soul container is not suitable as a magic weapon. In most cases, it is a retreat. The physical body dies, and the soul hides in the container, seeking a chance to restart."

"Xiao Di, I thought you would. Go to Beauxbatons." The sharp female voice softened a little, and she should be talking to another partner.

"Leah has wanted to go to Hogwarts since she was five years old, so naturally I want to go to the same school as her." This voice was not as sharp and mean as her companions, but there was still a hint of disappointment in it.

Her companion seemed to snort after hearing this, but did not say anything after all.

The group of people came closer and closer noisily.

The door of the compartment was opened suddenly, and Mu Yu raised his head and met the two leaders.

The leader was a blond boy with pale skin, followed by two big guys. A girl with short hair held his arm tightly, her ordinary appearance distorted by the meanness on her face. In comparison, her companion looked much more normal.

The two of them only looked at each other for a few seconds. When he caught a glimpse of the book Mu Yu was reading, the boy's eyes were full of disgust: "Who are you?"

Books are very tempting, but for Mu Yu, some things are far more exciting than books. .

"Mu Yu." There was no hint of her true emotions in her soft and polite tone.

When they heard her surname, the man and woman headed by them suddenly let out a burst of sharp and loud laughter, and even the two big guys behind them laughed stupidly: "Is the surname Mu the Mu family?" The blond boy didn't He looked at her politely and said, "I heard dad mentioned that it should be you. If I were you, I would go back to the east. Hogwarts is not a garbage recycling station."

"If I were you, I wouldn't You will be walking together with these two guys who are bigger than whales. You are like a piece of ham caught in a sandwich."

Mu Yu didn't have any anger at all. Her calm tone seemed to be just saying that the weather was good today.

No one noticed that the fingers that were holding the pages of the book moved, and then she gripped the cover of the book tightly. The sound of the paper tearing was naturally inaudible in the current environment.

The boy blushed, but before he could say anything, his female companion seemed to be even more stimulated. If she hadn't been pulled by someone, she might have rushed up to her: "You idiot..."

"Pansy, Don't be like this. It's not necessary."

"Daphne, you just have a good temper."

It turns out that Xiaodi's full name is Daphne.

Mu Yu simply closed the book and stared at Daphne, who seemed to be inconspicuous in this small group. She wouldn't miss the light in Daphne's eyes just now when she saw her.

"Bad luck. Let's go, Draco. There should be room at Blaise's." Pansy didn't do anything in the end. She pulled Draco and walked back, and the two big guys followed without hesitation. . Daphne alone looked back and seemed to want to stop, but she still chose to follow her companions.

Accompanied by a loud whistle, the train started to move slowly, and with the clang that followed, the platform nine and three-quarters, which was noisy just now, was further and further away.

Mu Yu continued to devote all his energy to books. At this time, the content in the book is more interesting than observing a few people who are particularly easy to see through.

"The best material for making containers is Yinling wood. This item is ranked fourth on the list of earthly treasures and cannot be obtained by chance. Below it is thousand-year-old yew and agarwood... It is said that there is a forbidden area in Kunlun that stretches as far as the eye can see and is called Guixu. , the end of Guixu is Kunlun Ruins. There is a strange tree called Phoenix Pine in Kunlun Ruins. It grows one leaf every five hundred years and bears one fruit every six hundred years. Its branches protect the soul from death, its leaves protect the body from decay, and its fruit stabilizes the Taoist mind. This method is a temporary solution, not a way to eternal life. It will not be solved after three hundred years, and it will not be solved until God has provided for it. "

The train was driving on the endless wilderness, and the low white clouds were heavy and heavy. You can reach it with your hand.

She looked at the fields for a while, and then looked up at the clouds that seemed to be floating between her fingers. Books are not secular readings, and they will never be excerpts of rumors. These lines suddenly appeared here, and it seemed strange to me.

While thinking about it, the seemingly solid pages of the book actually fell off, and this page seemed more like it was stuck in the book.

The compartment door was gently opened again. Without asking a question, a person quietly sat opposite her.

You don't need to look at Mu Yu to know that it's Daphne.

The atmosphere in the cubicle was very awkward. Mu Yu looked up with more interest to admire the changing clouds in the sky, while Daphne seemed to be desperately looking for something to talk about.

It was the sound of the dining car's rumbling from far to near and the soft singing-like hawking of the witch outside that broke the silence.

Daphne also seemed to have found a topic, and when Mu Yu's attention was briefly attracted and the two of them had to look at each other, she quickly said: "They all went to see Harry Potter," she immediately added as if to take care of her. , "The Boy Who Lived."

"I know, the boy who escaped from Voldemort." She answered naturally.

Daphne turned pale when she heard that name and shuddered hard.

Mu Yu understood immediately. She closed the book that was lying on the table and pushed it aside along with the fallen pages. Without the obstruction of the tome, the distance between the two seemed closer. She seemed to feel very guilty: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect..."

Daphne refused to let her apologize: "It's okay, it's not your fault. It's dad, he often said..." When talking about this topic Then it stopped abruptly. Daphne smoothed her smooth brown hair and stretched out her hand, "Look, I forgot to introduce you. My name is Daphne Greengrass."

Mu Yu looked at Daphne's outstretched hand without touching it at all. , and even moved slightly to the side reflexively.

"My dad said not to play with you! You are a loser who conquers your father and your mother!"

"Sailor star! loser star!"

"Hit her, hit her!"

Countless piercing screams were heard, and she was dumped in the school. The figure at the door, the girl with her hair hanging on the classroom fan, the bloody puppy...

She hated such scenes, because the indelible memory would always induce her to desperately pursue something she shouldn't pursue.

"Be like water..." Grandpa's instructions kept echoing in his ears, as well as the worries he couldn't express.

It can no longer be the same as before.

When she raised her head again, she had a gentle smile on her face that had been perfected after practicing many times. Gentleness is really a useful weapon. It can remove armor silently and use the most ingenious disguise to spy on the most secret thoughts.

This is what she learned.

She shook Daphne's hand: "Mu Yu, you must have known it just now."

The two girls smiled at each other in a tacit understanding, and both decided not to worry too much about asking, and instead turned the awkwardness in the cubicle at the beginning into It became a subtle harmony.

"Sorry, Yu," Daphne looked extremely guilty, as if she was the one who made the taunt before, "Pansy and Draco are named Parkinson and Malfoy. Because of history, pure-blood families and the East..."

She finally revealed her true purpose.

"You actually know this history. I thought you were the same as them. You only know that the two sides hate each other." Mu Yu did not care about the rudeness of the two people, and did not make Daphne feel any discomfort during the conversation.

"Dad told me that he once traveled to the East for a year." Daphne only showed her sincere pride and admiration when she mentioned her father. "The two sides had fought before, for the inheritance of the East..."

When she mentioned inheritance, she became really incoherent and put her hands directly on the table, looking particularly excited.

Inheritance... Mu Yu laughed silently.

How many people know the real history?

Once upon a time, the clan held the inheritance of Taoism and ran rampant. Unfortunately, history has changed. Frequent wars and migrations once made it almost difficult for the clan to maintain itself. The founder of Kunlun was also from the clan. He persuaded the clans to unify and hand over the inheritance. , retaining orthodoxy in an academic way.

The clan still chooses to compromise in order to survive, but it will never regain its former glory. Today there are only a few families left, and the Mu family is one of them, but the Mu family rarely interacts with the other three families.

People's hearts always change. Hundreds of years of self-cultivation have allowed the Taoism to flourish again, and the false fame that has come with it has also fueled the ambitions of some people in Kunlun, so much so that they have interfered in secular affairs...

They have interfered with history that should have happened naturally, and stolen what should have happened naturally. A fruit enjoyed by all living beings.

Nothing lasts forever.

The long-term peace has fueled greed, and people who once worked together with passion and heart to fight against the outside world have also pointed their swords at themselves because of greed.

Daphne only regards the inheritance as an ordinary treasure, and uses this as a step to gradually reveal the true purpose of talking to her. Although the disguise is very clumsy, it is still somewhat interesting.

Unfortunately, life is often full of surprises.

Someone pushed open the compartment again, and a girl with brown hair and a pair of big front teeth stood at the door accompanied by a boy: "Neville lost a toad, did you see it?"

Mu Yu responded to the girl gently: "No , maybe you should look elsewhere."

She noticed that the girl's eyes were always looking at the huge book in her hand, but there was nothing she could do about it. The book was too big and eye-catching.

The girl raised her eyebrows: "I know the words on it. I am actually very interested in Eastern culture. Unfortunately, the history of modern magic says that this is a very closed country, and their magical world is very mysterious. Of course, Hogwart Ci is undoubtedly the best magic school in the West. No one in my family knows magic. I was very surprised when I received the notice. I tried a few spells at home and they all worked. I also memorized all the textbooks. It works. By the way, my name is Hermione Granger, what are your names?"

She said a lot of words like a barrage of words.

This surname is not like those so-called pure-blood surnames in the West.

Daphne didn't seem to be enthusiastic about Mu Yu at all, and turned her head as if she hadn't seen Hermione. Because he was sitting close enough, Mu Yu heard her whisper: "Muggleborn."

Mu Yu pretended not to notice the changes in the cubicle, and smiled and repeated his name to Granger in a good-natured way. Reminder: "Don't worry about losing the toad, all luggage will be delivered to the dormitory by then."

Hermione realized that someone in the cubicle was not so welcoming to her, and nodded to Mu Yu and said no more: "We are almost there, you are the most welcome. " So I can put on my school uniform."

After saying this, she hurriedly left with the boy who had lost the toad.

After she disappeared, Daphne also chose to leave: "I hope you will enter Slytherin. Only there will teach you how to make friends with the right people."

No wonder she has such a good relationship with Pansy Malfoy.

The rolling clouds were colored by the sunset, blending into the pale but not thick sky, making it difficult to distinguish the boundaries. Mu Yu has never been so envious of the floating clouds as he is now.

Even the ethereal clouds understand the meaning of integration better than she does.
