Chapter 82 Kunlun

"If it grows toward the sun, it grows toward the sun..."

Dumbledore murmured and repeated this sentence. He sat with Harry in Professor Lupin's office and he couldn't stop talking to himself after Harry told him Professor Trelawney's prophecy. Harry was confused.

"Professor"

Dumbledore seemed to have suddenly come to his senses. He stared into Harry's emerald green eyes and moved his lips as if he wanted to say something. However, in the end he just sighed softly: "Harry."

Harry . Wait quietly for Dumbledore to continue.

None of the abuse she suffered at the Dursleys could erase the innocence and kindness in these eyes. Dumbledore suddenly couldn't bear it. Should Harry know the truth? He was still too young. There was not much difference between thirteen and twelve years old, not to mention that he had just reunited with his godfather. Let's wait a little longer. He would give Harry a few more years of peace.

"I should give Professor Trelawney a raise. But the prophecy is only a guide, a choice suggested by fate. However, there are more choices hidden by fate. Don't be trapped by the prophecy, Harry."

Dumbledore said Then he walked out of the office, leaving Harry alone to think. In Harry's eyes, Dumbledore's pace was always steady, as if nothing could make him anxious.

Upon returning to the principal's office, Dumbledore changed his gentle and kind attitude when facing Harry. He wrote a short letter vigorously and resolutely. Soon after, an owl flew out of the Hogwarts Owlery and headed north.

The melodious and ethereal bells echo in the temples at the foot of Meili Snow Mountain. Even though it is close to noon, there are still devout believers worshiping in front of the snow-capped mountains. They firmly believe that there are gods living on the mountainside that are beyond the reach of ordinary people and do not want to be disturbed.

Temple bells are not ringing for believers.

On the southern side of the snow-capped mountains, a group of children dressed in white robes were walking on a narrow path that would never exist in the eyes of ordinary people. Each child was carrying medicinal materials and wood that were completely inconsistent with their body shape. This group of children are generally around ten years old, and only the leader, who walks lightly, looks much older than them.

The trail is narrow and steep, and is covered with snow even in summer, but these children are used to it and no one complains. Only the little girl who was far behind the team walked extremely slowly. She even looked up at the sky from time to time.

It's almost noon.

The leader also noticed something strange about the little girl. She turned around and frowned slightly: "Junior sister Wang, what's wrong with you today?"

The little girl showed a simple smile, she breathed slightly, and seemed to be very worried. A difficult look: "Senior sister, I really don't feel well today. You don't have to delay your return to the mountain gate because of me."

The freshmen entered Kunlun College at the age of five, and they will be with this winding path for six years. Every morning, before the sun has risen, they go down the trail and go into the dense forest to collect herbs, collect dew, and cut wood. Then they return to the mountain gate at noon. It is not until they pass the Dao Heart Trial at the age of eleven that they can officially join the mountain sect. At that time, they will officially become first-year students in Kunlun, and they were also called inner disciples in the past. The disciples under the age of eleven are collectively called the preschool department, and they are the former outer disciples.

Xu Yu and Ning Yue had fought hard to reform the academy system. It was not uncommon for inner disciples to bully and abuse outer disciples based on their seniority, and it had even developed into an unwritten practice.

Since the reform, there is no longer any distinction between inner and outer sects, and the new sect rules strictly prohibit the bullying of the small by the big, so the situation has improved. However, if the college had not forced the senior students to take turns escorting the freshmen to experience, the two sides would still be able to avoid any intersection.

Such is the case for the leading senior class. This place was not far from the mountain gate. She didn't want to spend time managing these little carrots, so she nodded her head in acquiescence and lightly said: "Don't be too late."

The little girl felt relieved and walked slower. .

Mu Yu never thought that she would enter Kunlun College in this way. This new-born winding trail is her only way to approach the mountain gate. She had been squatting in the forest where Xinsheng was collecting herbs since midnight. Fortunately, the person she transformed into was not a gregarious person, so she could seize the opportunity to make a sneak attack.

She built an illusion array for the person being impersonated and implanted false memories. Then there would be a teleportation array to transport her to the mountain gate.

She walked leisurely on the mountain road. Even if this road was not worth mentioning compared with the training she had received since childhood, even if she added twice as many medicinal materials, the mountain road would be like walking on plain ground to her.

The sun is high in the sky, but the snow on the ground has not melted. She estimated the time and walked to the mountain gate at the current speed just in time. The method of breaking the formation had extremely strict time requirements and could not tolerate any mistakes.

She must also return before the sun sets, otherwise the formation will fail and she will be greeted by the siege of the entire mountain gate.

The two people walking in front of her were whispering. Even though they were far away, they were still caught by Mu Yu.

"It is said that there is some kind of competition held in Europe this time, and Kyushu will also participate. Unfortunately, only senior brothers and sisters in this competition have the opportunity to participate. I also want to visit that school in the UK, what is it called... Huo..."

"Huo ..." Gwarts," her companion continued, "What's so interesting about British schools? They still have to wield sticks to cast spells, unlike us, who can cast spells without using external objects

. , his understanding of magic is ridiculously naive.

Mu Yu's speed remained unchanged, and their voices gradually faded away.

"That day it was my turn to clean the dean's room. Guess what I saw? A Western wizard came to visit dean Xu and talked with dean Xu for a full hour. I listened for a while and all I heard was dean Xu. Speaking of Xiao Yu, who do you think is worthy of a Western wizard traveling thousands of miles away? It seems that there is no such person in our college. "

"No matter who it is, it's not something we should worry about. If you continue like this, you won't be able to survive for a few years. " Later Daoxin Trial “Her partner obviously didn’t want to talk anymore.

Dumbledore was indeed paying attention to her. She couldn't always hide behind it.

Mu Yu didn't panic at all when she was suspected. Professor, how far have you deduced my chess game?

When she arrived at the mountain gate, no one else was there. She couldn't see the majestic mountain gate. In her eyes, the winding path under her feet was winding to a higher and steeper place, and she could no longer find any trace around a corner. She stopped where she was and could not go any further, otherwise she would directly trigger the protective formation and alarm the entire academy.

There were still a few minutes until the time was up, so she took a deep breath.

The close sunlight moved slowly across the sky, casting a shadow. it's time.

She took out her wand and quickly drew marks in mid-air. Her movements were skillful, and she had obviously practiced them for a long time. Noon was the time when yin and yang met and balanced. This balance only lasted less than a minute, and the marks were very complicated. Her body It has almost taken precedence over thinking.

"Kan Gua, Xuanwu rises, draws water."

She whispered the spell, and pointed the wand somewhere in the air. A black crack appeared faintly in the air. The ground was shaking slightly, and she waved it again with lightning speed. With the wand, there seemed to be invisible air flowing into the dark cracks, and the cracks slowly disappeared. The slight trembling on the ground stopped, and a giant arch appeared in front of him.

The entire arch is supported by two stone pillars, and the entire arch is carved from white marble. The five colors of red, yellow, white, black and green flash on the stone pillars, and the Bagua symbols are engraved on the arches. Mu Yu stepped directly into the arch.

The interior of Kunlun College is very different from the mountain trails. The sun is still high in the blue sky, with carved pavilions floating in the sky, and the eaves of the roofs are shining with golden light in the sun. Each building is connected by white jade stone steps. The main road, entirely paved with purple jade, branches off into countless paths in the distance, with all kinds of strange trees planted on both sides of the road. The trunks and branches of some trees are as clear as crystal, and the branches are even covered with beautiful jade. Some branches are connected and covered in the air on the main road. There are blue fruits on the branches, which seem to be covered with a little snow.

At noon, people come and go on the main road. White figures are either walking hurriedly on the main road or shuttling among the suspended pavilions.

After entering the mountain gate, Mu Yu changed her appearance and walked quickly on the main road. She carefully discerned the surging energy around her. There is a lake in Kunlun College called Guixu. It is so vast that even the most advanced people cannot explore its edge. The name comes from the legend that this lake leads to the entrance of Kunlun Ruins.

For thousands of years, countless people have tried to find traces of Kunlun Ruins by the lake, but they have found nothing.

Mu Yu turned one path after another, and as she turned one corner after another, the crowds around her gradually became sparse, but there were still three or five people passing by in groups from time to time, so she had to use the cover of trees to avoid the crowds.

If it weren't for the complicated and time-consuming process of making the elixir, she should have taken a spoonful of the elixir before searching for the Kunlun Ruins...

Fortunately, she had good luck today. After turning the last corner, a blue lake appeared. In front of her.

All the trees disappeared completely the moment the lake appeared. The lake extended to the point where the water and the sky meet. Where the two merged, the sky no longer glowed blue, but instead glowed vaguely with colorful light, giving the boundless lake surface It adds to the mystery.

Except for the trail we came from and a small stretch of bare river beach, there was only the sparkling lake water around us. It was so weird that we couldn't even hear the sound of water flowing.

Mu Yu was walking on the small river beach, and she stretched out her hand as if she was touching something.

There was originally a tight formation defense here, but a hole was artificially torn open. It seemed like he was waiting for someone to come in.

The man was waiting for her.

Mu Yu pursed her lips. She could feel the pure energy coming from the cracks in the formation. Behind the formation is most likely the legendary Kunlun Ruins.

Should she quit now, or should she try this trap?

If she quits, this trap will always be waiting for her. The person behind the scenes may come up with a more sinister plot, and there is no chance of any surprises in her plan. It's better to go in now and find out who is behind it.

Mu Yu held the wand in her hand, and at this moment, extreme pleasure swept over her. She was suddenly looking forward to the person she was about to meet.

She had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

She opened the cracks in the formation and disappeared directly by the lake.

As if experiencing a teleportation array, Mu Yu felt like he was stepping on soft grass. If Kunlun College has its own mysterious and ethereal atmosphere, then this place should be a true fairyland.

Purple round flowers are blooming on the green grass. Qiong trees, which have long been extinct in Kyushu, form a lush forest here. Birds make strange calls from time to time in the forest, like a baby crying or a gentle whine. .

A river runs through the grassland and flows into the Qiong woods. Under the crystal clear river water, topaz and white jade are flashing. All kinds of strange fish swim in the river. Mu Yu recognizes one of them, a ten-body horo fish, at a glance. There were many fish that she couldn't even name.

A white deer leaped into the woods and disappeared deep into the jungle.

It seems that all the long-extinct wild animals in Kyushu have gathered here.

The most attractive thing is a tree standing alone not far away. This tree extends out several branches, the branches are like high-spirited phoenix heads, and the connection between the branches and the trunk is twisted into nine phoenix tails, and the whole branches together resemble the shape of a phoenix.

The strange thing is that the whole tree has lush branches but few leaves. There are only one or two scattered leaves hanging on each branch, and some branches even have no leaves at all. Hanging on the thickest tree trunk is a snow-white fruit. The bottom of the fruit is still slightly red, but the red color is already very light.

The phoenix pine fruit is almost ripe.

Before Mu Yu could approach Phoenix Pine, a voice suddenly sounded from the side. She knew who the person was without looking at them. This voice had been firmly remembered by her.

"You will come as expected."

It was Xu Yu.
