This was an invitation from Dumbledore. Hu Xiuwu had no reason to refuse and readily agreed.
Moreover, Dumbledore was right, he had understood almost all the mysteries of transfiguration, except for Animagus transfiguration.
But Dumbledore was the leading transfiguration master in Europe. Before Professor McGonagall became the professor of Transfiguration, Dumbledore had always been responsible for teaching this course.
In the corridor, Hu Xiuwu took the opportunity to ask Dumbledore about Animagus.
In this regard, Dumbledore not only did not refuse, but patiently answered his questions, as if he was solving doubts for Hogwarts students, told him the process of practicing Animagus, and also provided him with several Tips for practicing Animagus.
Animagus training is very cumbersome, sometimes taking several years from start to finish, because it not only tests the practitioner's level of transformation, but also seeks the right time.
Because when practicing Animagus, you have to hold a piece of mandrake in your mouth for a whole month, then take it out, and combine it with the pupa of the grimace hawkmoth, rootless water, and the hair of the caster to make a potion. , buried deep in the lightless soil.
When the heavy rain is about to pour, the sun is blocked by lead clouds, and the sky and earth are dark, the potion is taken out. During this period, magic training must be carried out every day to transform the body.
Dumbledore's explanation contains many details that are not found in the book.
Not only does it have to be a storm, but it must be under a situation where the lead clouds are like a tide, completely blocking out the sun and making the sky and the earth dark, so that the success rate is the highest.
According to the book, the animals the Animagus transforms into have a great relationship with their own personality traits, and your past experiences and changes in thoughts will also have an impact on the Animagus.
When you perform the last step of Animagus, the personality of the caster at that time has a great impact on Animagus. A proud person can easily become a lion or cat, a timid person can easily become a mouse, and a timid person can easily become a mouse. Loyal people are more likely to become canines,
However, after Dumbledore's research, the transformed form obtained when he became an Animagus was almost the same as the form of the protective elf summoned purely by aura that he could use at that time to call the God Guard. .
There is also a point in where you bury the crystal bottle containing the potion. Dumbledore once analyzed that if you bury it in a place with beautiful scenery and a gathering of spiritual veins, the potion you get will be more able to tap into the positive energy side of your heart. It is even more possible to obtain the wild beast form.
Of course, rats and beetles are not completely useless. In terms of concealing traces and detecting secrets, the humble animals are more useful than the ferocious goshawk.
Hu Xiuwu listened to Dumbledore's detailed explanation, but his thoughts went astray.
Lead clouds cover the sun? beautiful landscape?
Doesn't that mean that when the black pig crosses the river and the sky is dark, you should find a feng shui treasure with hidden aura and excellent feng shui to bury the potion in it.
Hu Xiuwu transformed Dumbledore's words into Eastern cultivation terminology in his mind.
Originally, Hu Xiuwu only regarded Animagus as a traditional Western magic, but after Dumbledore's explanation, he found that the Animagus training method had a strong sense of familiarity.
No, it wasn't déjà vu, he had indeed seen similar spells before.
Fang Xinsheng’s skill in making cards and his skill in covering up others!
Both of them aim to change people's appearance and deceive the secrets of heaven as a means.
It turns out that there is no difference in technology between the East and the West. In the end, they all reach the same goal by different paths, just like scientific theorems and formulas. No matter how you derive them, you will always get the same formula in the end.
Candidates who come to Beijing to take the exam, whether they are from the north or the south, are proficient in poetry and poetry, proficient in tactics and tactics, or proficient in practical management, their ultimate goal is to win the first place.
The end of the art path is, after all, different paths lead to the same destination.
At this moment, Hu Xiuwu had a deeper understanding of Zhang Huaiyi's methods.
No wonder, Teacher Zhang Huaiyi was able to decipher the methods of experts from various schools. He was truly a master of the art and walked farther than others. When he turned back, he could see the path that others had taken.
Hu Xiuwu had inspiration in his mind, but it was as looming as the morning glow, hard to capture.
Hu Xiuwu's accumulation is still not enough. His cultivation level has not reached Zhang Huaiyi's former strength, and he has not added as many spells as Zhang Huaiyi. Therefore, although he now has some understanding of the commonality of Eastern and Western spells, he is unable to use them from Distilled from the vast magic.
Still need to read more!
Hu Xiuwu sighed in his heart, but then he discovered that Dumbledore did not lead him in the direction of the principal's office.
The Transfiguration class was on the first floor, and Dumbledore's office was on the eighth floor. But Dumbledore led Hu Xiuwu to the third floor and started walking inside.
What's on the third floor?
In Hu Xiuwu's impression, the third floor only contained empty classrooms, an abandoned women's bathroom, and the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office, which was Moody's office.
Is Dumbledore going to take him to Moody? You can't just take him to the women's restroom.
Thinking of this, Hu Xiuwu couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that his idea was ridiculous:
"Why would Dumbledore show me the ladies' room? Unless I was dreaming."
"Mr. Dumbledore, do you think I'm dreaming?"
Hu Xiuwu stood at the door of the women's restroom, looking at Dumbledore who had already entered the women's restroom in surprise. Standing at the mouth of the sink, staring at the snake-shaped faucet, mumbling something, he asked.
Does the headmaster of Hogwarts still have this habit?
Facing Hu Xiuwu's doubts, Dumbledore was not angry. Instead, he smiled and waved to Hu Xiuwu:
"Come on, come on, kid!"
Hu Xiuwu couldn't help but retreat, feeling that the situation was a bit strange.
Boom!
A dark secret passage emerged from the floor of the women's bathroom. The secret passage was round and round like a large pipe. It was slippery and deep inside, and it was unknown where it led.
Hu Xiuwu glanced at it from a distance and said thoughtfully: "Is this the so-called Slytherin Chamber of Secrets?"
Whether it was "Hogwarts: A School History" or Ron's show off, Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was mentioned.
Harry and Ron once encountered a thousand-year-old basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets.
However, Hu Xiuwu didn't pay attention at that time. He was more concerned about how the Dementor escaped from the snake god's body and came to the living world. He didn't ask in detail where the so-called secret room was.
But today Dumbledore actually brought him to the secret room. What did he want to do?
If you are thinking wildly, it is better to probe forward. Just now Hu Xiuwu was infected by Wang Kaixuan and was talking nonsense. Since it is business, we still have to find out.
Dumbledore led Hu Xiuwu into the pipe, just like playing on a slide when he was a child, sliding down all the way with lightning speed.
"The Sword Comes"
This method of entry is quite childish.
After landing smoothly, Hu Xiuwu felt that Slytherin, who designed the entrance to the secret room, was actually an idiot.
He is an old man. Every time he enters the secret room he has set up, he has to slide in on the slide. Isn't it because he likes it?
It's just that he placed the entrance to the secret room in the women's toilet, so Hu Xiuwu didn't understand it very well.
The secret room was not as Hu Xiuwu imagined. It was just a dark, narrow, windowless and doorless library or laboratory. On the contrary, the secret room was actually quite large in area and extended in all directions.
The passage that Dumbledore led him along was lined with winding pipes on both sides. It seemed that this was the gathering point of all the pipes in Hogwarts.
So, Slytherin’s Chamber of Secrets is actually built in the sewer system of Hogwarts?
Hu Xiuwu followed Dumbledore to the end of the pipe, and it suddenly dawned on him that there was a space comparable to the size of the Hogwarts Great Hall.
But this space is not as luxurious and elegant as the auditorium. It is more like a huge honeycomb. The dome ring walls are full of caves extending in all directions. Opposite the entrance, Slytherin's old man's head is flush with the dome, looking down at the secret room. .
Under his feet, there is a giant python skeleton as big as a high-speed train. Even though he is dead, it still makes people feel frightened and makes the hair stand on end unknowingly.
That's the skeleton of a basilisk.
