Hogwarts Wizard of the East

"Crack..." Father Li opened the door with the key, and then put the key on the shoe cabinet next to him.

"Dad, I haven't asked you yet, why are you just watching today and not playing chess with Uncle Liu?" Li Ran asked his father next to him while taking off his shoes.

"Damn it, I forgot if you didn't tell me. I'm so angry today. When I saw your Uncle Liu after work yesterday, I clearly agreed to meet you at Xingmin Park this morning, but your Uncle Liu gave me a try. I've been waiting for a long time and didn't come, so I had to watch Grandpa Yang and the others play chess." Father Li also bent down and took off his shoes, but he didn't stop and said angrily.

"Maybe Uncle Liu has something to do suddenly!" Li Ran replied.

After the father and son finished taking off their shoes, they put on their own slippers and rushed to the dining table.

At this time, Mrs. Li happened to be carrying the plate and placing the food on the dining table.Looking at the big one and the small one who were already sitting at the dining table, they hit each other on the back of their hands with chopsticks: "You have to wash your hands before and after eating. Why did you two just sit down? Go, go, go and wash your hands quickly."

Mother Li held one in each hand, lifted Li Ran and Father Li from the stool, and pushed them to the kitchen.

Li Ran and Father Li, who were being pushed by Li's mother, looked at each other.

Father Li shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands in a helpless gesture.Li Ran glanced at his father and shook his head.

After eating, Li Ran wanted to go out for a stroll again to see his hometown, which he hadn't returned to for many years, but was pushed back into the bedroom by Li's mother.

"Son, you have to write your homework. Even if you have to go to Polaris after school starts, you have to keep up with your homework. Don't get there, you can't read two big characters." Mother Li pointed to the desk, facing Li Ran said, and then closed the door behind him.

At that time, Zhang Guodong had already said that although there were cultural courses in their school, they were not the strengths of those teachers. Don't imagine that his son would become illiterate after graduation, that would be unimaginable.

Li Ran thought about how he was also a college graduate in his previous life...how could he be like his mother said...However, Li's mother didn't know about this, and Li Ran himself certainly couldn't explain this to Li's mother. thing.

"Oh, I'm grounded again..." Li Ran rolled his eyes upwards, lying on the desk and blowing his bangs.

Apparently, Li Ran seemed helpless against his mother's 100% mobilization.

Habitually turning the pen with his right hand, Li Ran thought about the pheasant that Zhang Guodong took away yesterday. It would have been better if Zhang Guodong had stayed. When he was bored, he could play with the chicken as a pastime. Unfortunately, the chicken was obviously the same. Public property within the school cannot be given to oneself.

"By the way, didn't Principal Zhang leave a book yesterday? Where did you let me put it? Let's take a look and pass the time." Li Ran suddenly remembered this matter, so he turned around and searched in the bookcase.

After searching for a long time on the bookcase, I finally found this "History of Modern Chinese Magic".

After returning to the desk and sitting down, Li Ran gently opened the book, and a faint smell of book ink entered Li Ran's nose.

Obviously this is a new book that has not been opened.

Skipping the table of contents, Li Ran opened the first page of the text, and lines of text appeared in front of his eyes.

"Looking at the 5000-year history of China, there are countless famous figures in the magic world who have appeared in the long river of time.

For example, the Taoist ancestor of the Spring and Autumn Period, Li Er, who is also known as Laozi in the world, Liezi in the early Warring States Period, Zhuangzi in the middle period, Guiguzi and others, and others later...

And today we are going to introduce a pioneer who is farther and farther than these ancestors, Yi Yin of Xia Shang.

Yi Yin, Si surname, Yi family, first name Zhi, was born in Yichuan, Luoyang, the founding father of the Shang Dynasty, an outstanding statesman, thinker, and Chinese chef.

Yi Yin has been smart since he was a child, diligent in learning and motivated, and worked in the country of Youxin.After being hired three times by Cheng Tang, he served as the Right Prime Minister and joined forces with Zhong Hui to assist Shang Tang in defeating Xia Jie.After the establishment of the Shang Dynasty.He served as Yin (equivalent to the prime minister in the Qin Dynasty) and governed the world with the theory of "using a tripod to stir soup" and "harmony the five flavors".Actively rectify the official administration, gain insight into the people's hearts and national conditions, and promote economic prosperity and political clarity.The five generations of monarchs, Chengtang, Waibing, Zhongren, Taijia, and Woding, were honored as "Aheng". They assisted the government for more than fifty years and made great contributions to the prosperity of the Shang Dynasty.

According to historical research, Yi Yin's identity in Shang was not only in the political power but also as a prime minister. His more important identity was that he was a wizard.The Shang Dynasty was a dynasty that believed in ghosts and gods. All major and minor affairs of the country were subject to divination. "The major affairs of the country depend on sacrifice and military affairs." Therefore, wizards had a lofty status.Yi Yin was the greatest wizard in the Shang Dynasty. In ancient times, witchcraft, history, and medicine were integrated into one. Many wizards themselves had medical functions. For example, the famous Wu Peng and Wu Xian were both famous for their medical skills. "Shuowen" explains that " Yin" means "governing".Kang Yin, a paleontologist, pointed out: Yin, "looks like a hand holding a needle, indicating the use of acupuncture to treat people's diseases"; the official name Yin "is also an extension and transformation of the meaning of medical treatment." "Yi Yin" means both medicine and fortune-telling from Yishui. In the final analysis, it is still a wizard from Yishui..."

Li Ran nodded. It seems that this book is quite informative. After all, I have never heard of Yi Yin, but the book has written all the deeds of this person.

Moreover, it is written in the book that this person's lifespan was as long as a hundred years. In ancient times, most people would be considered dead when they lived to be 60 or [-] years old, but he actually lived to be a hundred years old.

And it is written in detail in the book that this is the first Chinese wizard recorded in historical materials.

Li Ran then looked down.

"Yi Yin's wizard school has been passed down from ancient times to the present. It is also the largest school of wizards in our country. In today's era of fragmented Taoist inheritance, his influence on our country's current extraordinary forces can be said to be considerable. . And the Yi family is also one of the most prosperous wizard families in our country."

Li Ran frowned when he saw this. It turns out that the Chinese Taoist school has not been passed down intact, so the current Chinese supernatural world is dominated by wizards.This also reasonably explains why the school where he was admitted is called Huaxia Polaris Magic School instead of Huaxia Polaris Taoism School.

"However, after many generations of efforts, our country's magic community has now sorted out the fragmented and complicated Taoist heritage, and integrated it with traditional wizards and today's foreign wizard schools, taking the essence and discarding the others. The dross has formed our country’s unique Taoist and witchcraft culture.”

Li Ran's frown relaxed again, which is a good thing.It seems that Huaxia still has some capable people.

"However, considering that the main body of it is still dominated by the wizard school of ancestor Yi Yin, we are still accustomed to calling it wizards, but its core is different from foreign wizards.

Now I only hope that future generations can reorganize and summarize the Taoist doctrines lost in the long river of time. "

Li Ran closed the book silently, probably having a little understanding of the current situation in the Chinese magic world.

It is based on the wizard stream passed down from ancient times, with the Yi family as the focus, and then mixed in the Taoist heritage from the east and the west, and finally added a little bit of the wizard stream from Europe and the United States.

Li Ran shook his head, this is really complicated.But there is no way, if you fall behind, you will be beaten. Without this inheritance that has been sorted out and summarized now, perhaps internationally, China will not be as tough as it is now.It can only be said that I did the right things at the right time.

After all, you have to overcome the immediate difficulties before you can consider the future.

Li Ran thought for a while and roughly knew what was driving the integration of inheritance.It must have been that nightmarish invasion decades ago.

Maybe, hidden behind the gunfire, there is still a battle between Onmyoji and Daowu?

Li Ran didn't know.
