Chinese students at Hogwarts

Sirius and Kreacher were still curled up on the ground and howling lowly.

Zhang Xiao and Dumbledore stood together, looking at the boiling lake surface. Countless shambling corpses floated up from the water and surrounded the island.

"It seems that this is Tom's last resort. As long as he drinks the potion, it will be triggered."

Dumbledore's long beard was trembling, there was no surprise at all, he looked like it was natural:

"This potion will not be fatal, but it will make people unable to resist, just like Sirius and Kreacher.

Even if Tom couldn't come for a while, he was confident that those who tried to take away the Horcrux would stay forever. "

Zhang Xiao tapped his palm lightly with his wand, looking calm.

What a joke, Dumbledore was standing next to him, still in full form!

"Professor Dumbledore, if you are dragged into the water by these Inferi and eventually die, will you also become an Inferi?"

"I think so. There are quite a lot of spells cast on this lake, and only the Inferi can survive being soaked in water for a long time without rotting."

Dumbledore glanced around the entire lake and shook his head gently:

"It's crazy, so many Inferi, he slaughtered at least one town.

Zhang, I remember you had a very practical little magic trick that could make this place a little brighter.

I think there should be no need to worry now. "

Zhang Xiao stretched out his hand neatly and snapped his fingers:

"Let there be light!"

This time he did not reduce the scope of the illumination technique, but released it with all his strength for the first time.

The bright light was like sunlight, filling the huge cave in an instant.

The darkness retreated awkwardly, leaving only the soft light.

The Inferi hastily stretched out their hands to block their eyes, and stagnated in fear. Obviously, the light also has a strong suppressive effect on the Inferi.

This was the first time Dumbledore saw Zhang Xiao's illumination technique. He was stunned and nodded thoughtfully:

"It's quite amazing magic and very practical. Regulus should be among them, but it's a pity that the two people here who know what Regulus looks like are lying there."

Dumbledore looked towards Sirius and Kreacher, who were still groaning on the ground.

"I'm afraid I need you to temporarily block the Inferi. I'll go see how I can help them both recover as quickly as possible."

Zhang Xiao rolled up his sleeves and smiled slightly:

"No problem, Professor."

The Inferi are afraid of light, but they are not unable to see light. The blazing sunlight may cause some damage to them, but the illumination spell cannot.

After they experienced the panic at the beginning of the illumination spell, they soon discovered that the sudden light did no harm to them.

So this huge group of Inferi gathered towards the island again.

Zhang Xiao moved his wrist, and golden light slowly emerged from his body, and finally enveloped his whole body.

The lightning-struck wooden wand felt the evil energy around it and was already buzzing with excitement.

You have to keep it in check, Regulus is still among them, it would not be good if he was beaten to ashes.

After warning himself in his mind, Zhang Xiao waved his magic wand in front of him in a cool and freehand manner:

Lines formed in front of him, intertwining and weaving rapidly, forming slightly illusory talismans.

Fire Talisman!

The wand was waved again, like a baton, and the talismans changed positions in the air and formed a circle.

Then it spun quickly, with bright lines of fire spread out overhead, surrounding the entire island.

These illusory talismans shook gently in the air, as if swaying in the wind, and then suddenly lit up.

Brilliant flames ignited from the talisman and connected together to form a dazzling fire ring.

The Inferi retreated hurriedly, making an unpleasant roar in this direction in the water.

Just - pretty easy.

Dumbledore handed the water to Sirius and Kreacher, with a relaxed smile on his old face, and the urge to watch a show couldn't stop coming out.

Hey, it is indeed the most interesting to see young people full of energy.

Zhang Xiao looked at the cowering corpses around him, but he didn't feel relaxed at all.

It's okay to joke.

But in fact, as a product of the Dark Lord, the Inferi are not that easy to deal with.

Fire can make them afraid, and as time goes by, they will eventually pounce again, unless they are like Dumbledore.

The blazing flames were released and became the arrival of the God of Fire.

The wand pointed at an inferi outside. It was wearing a floral skirt and looked about thirty years old.

The skin was a strange white color, and the gray eyes seemed to be covered with thick spider webs.

The Inferi roared and floated in the air, waving its limbs in vain, but there was nowhere to use it.

With a flick of the wand, the Inferi was thrown up high, over the ring of fire, and hit the ground hard.

This kind of force that can break the bones of ordinary people seems to be completely invisible to the Inferi.

It jumped up from the ground with an agility that was inconsistent with its appearance, roared and rushed towards Zhang Xiao.

"Pop" a yellow talisman was pressed on its forehead.

As if pressing the pause button, the Inferi kept its forward posture and stopped in place.

Turtle, is it really useful?

Zhang Xiao looked at the thick stack of corpse-suppressing talismans in his hand, and then looked at the other corpses in front of him that were staggering and trying to rush over.

His eyes gradually brightened.

There is a method of transporting talismans in the East, but it uses clever energy, just like flying cards and flying needles.

But I want to control characters on a large scale

He threw the yellow talisman in his hand towards the sky. The yellow talismans in the sky were like scattered butterflies, fluttering and about to scatter.

But then it seemed to be alive, and it suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Zhang Xiao raised one hand, as if throwing a ball, and waved it forward gently.

Those yellow symbols seemed to have received some kind of order.

"Swish, swish" flew towards the Inferi. This talisman may need some saliva when attached to other things, but when attached to the Inferi, it is like the positive and negative poles of a magnet.

It's a two-way street. Once it's stuck, it won't fall off unless someone takes it off or tears it off.

The yellow talismans all over the sky were like raindrops, flying towards the Inferi.

Some Yin corpses are covered with yellow talismans, and from a distance they look like the wishing wall in the scenic spot.

Zhang Xiao laughed twice.

Do you understand what the value of the ‘Dharma God’ is?

The talisman of the East and the magic spell of the West, this is the combination of East and West, invincible in the world!

There were only a few hundred yellow talismans in the thick stack, and they were all consumed in the blink of an eye.

But the Inferi were still coming one after another in an endless stream, and many of the immobilized Inferi in front were squeezed into the lake.

The corpse-suppressing talisman is essentially just yellow paper and has no resistance to water and fire. The yellow talisman will be soaked to pieces in a short time.

The Inferi resurrected again, roaring and joining the team.

Dumbledore's elder wand tapped Sirius and Kreacher lightly.

The one person and one elf who had already recovered because they had replenished enough water in time only felt that the remaining discomfort from before was gone.

Kreacher looked at his palms in surprise, looked at Dumbledore in awe, and bent down deeply:

"The Great Dumbledore"

Sirius got up from the ground. He looked at the ring of fire around him and the Inferi coming from all directions, and nervously took out his wand.

"Dumbledore, don't we do something? I remember - the Inferi are afraid of fire, why not just burn them all?"

Before Dumbledore could answer, Sirius was stunned for a moment and patted his head in annoyance:

"Damn, what was I thinking, Regulus is in there too."

Dumbledore smiled and nodded: "Yes, Zhang just took this into consideration and did not use his magical little burning paper on a large scale.

To be honest, it might be easy for me to eliminate all these Inferi, but to completely freeze them like Zhang, I don't have any good way.

This amount is a bit too much. "

"Ha! Professor, Sirius, and Kreacher, I have a great idea."

Zhang Xiao, who was standing at the front, suddenly laughed. He took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, looking for the mystery hidden deep in his soul.

Golden light spell!

The swaying golden light became brighter and brighter, expanding and contracting with his breathing.

The realm of emptiness!

The originally bright golden light suddenly brightened like the dazzling sun, and then dimmed its light and became peaceful.

Zhang Xiao seemed to have lost weight. He pushed hard on his toes and floated lightly in the air. The floating spell did not give him the right to fly freely in the air.

But staying in the air is no problem.

The lightning-struck wooden wand buzzed fiercely, and strands of electric light swirled around the body of the wand.

The corpse-suppressing talisman is not an advanced talisman. On the contrary, it is one of the most basic entry-level talismans for Taoist disciples.

Zhang Xiao's eyes were unusually bright.

There seemed to be something surging and gestating behind him.

Dumbledore's eyes suddenly opened slightly, while Sirius and Kreacher had their mouths open in shock, as if they were petrified, staring blankly at Zhang Xiao in the sky.

A pair of huge light wings spread out behind him. If you look closely, you will see where the light wings are. They are obviously illusory talismans.

The pair of huge wings made of talismans flapped forward slightly, and countless streams of light flew out from the light wings. In an instant, the entire cave was illuminated by the meteor shower-like stream of light.

The void talismans hit the Yin Corpse and shone again, fixing the Yin Corpse in place.

This virtual talisman has no entity and will still be effective even if it enters the water.

The stream of light like a violent storm only lasted for two seconds. The wings behind Zhang Xiao dissipated and he fell straight from the sky.

Dumbledore walked forward quickly, raised his head and caught him with deceleration and shock absorbers.

Zhang Xiao gasped for air, as if he was exhausted, even standing up was difficult. This time, he decisively terminated the explosive state before falling into unconsciousness.

No matter what, I won’t be in a coma anymore, I, Zhang Xiao, want to stand up!

The title of the master of the infirmary will go to anyone who loves it.

"Zhang, how did you do it?"

Sirius came back to his senses and stared at Zhang Xiao with fiery eyes. What he did just now was so cool, okay?

Like a god judging evil.

"Cool!"

Zhang Xiao weakly smiled at him and asked Kreacher to bring him a bottle of water:

"This is the power of Eastern Taoism and Western magic. Unfortunately, I can only use it for the time being."

Only Zhang Xiao knew in his heart that he looked extremely handsome just now, but in fact he was not very practical.

I only lasted less than two seconds! Less than two seconds!

This is still the most basic corpse-suppressing talisman. If it were more advanced, I might not be able to gather so many talismans.

In other words, just after the special effects are fully activated, a cool operation will only cause a little damage.

It is a special ultimate move triggered under special circumstances.

"No wonder Harry and the others said you have many weird and unique magics. They are all used to it."

Sirius enviously helped Zhang Xiao sit down against the stone basin and told Kreacher to take care of him.

He came to Dumbledore's side and tried hard to find the figure of Regulus among the immobilized Inferi.

Zhang Xiao's operation just now immobilized at least a thousand Inferi. The island in the middle of the lake was not big to begin with, and now more Inferi were blocked outside and unable to come in.

Regulus was dragged into the water recently, and soon Dumbledore's eyes and Sirius's eyes were locked on a thin figure at the same time.

It was a very young-looking boy, with wet black hair stuck to his scalp, and his pre-birth handsomeness could be vaguely seen on his face.

"Regulus!"

Sirius even forgot that he still had magic and ran directly towards him, slipping in the lake water several times and getting up several times.

Even faster than him was Kreacher.

The old elf cried hoarsely, and ran staggeringly with his legs spread wide and his hands raised.

When he pushed aside the other Inferi and came to Regulus, he suddenly stopped.

“Cleaned up like new”

Sirius used his wand to clean Regulus' body thoroughly and dried his clothes. Except for his pale skin and gray eyes, he looked the same as before.

What he regrets most now is that he didn't spend more time with his younger brother, but always teased him for entering Slytherin when they met.

When I got to know you, there was no chance of reconciliation

"Regulus, let's go home."

It was a very small funeral.

The weather in the UK lived up to expectations with light rain falling again.

Zhang Xiao and Dumbledore were wearing black robes and looked calmly as Kreacher and Sirius filled the grave pit with shovelfuls of soil.

Kreacher's sobs became the only sound here.

When the pit was completely filled, some time had passed.

A blank tombstone was erected.

Dumbledore took a step forward and said softly:

"Let me do it"

Sirius sniffed, tilted his head, wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, and took a step back.

Dumbledore's wand was written in flying colors in front of the tombstone.

A line of words slowly emerged on the tombstone:

The bravest son of Black family rests here

Regulus Arcturus Black

He should have been shining brightly in magical world

It's a pity that God is jealous of his talents

(Here lies the bravest descendant of the Black family.

Regulus Arcturus Black

He should have been shining brightly in the wizarding world

It’s a pity that God is jealous of talented people)
