Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 460 The legacy of the ancestors

  Bars are indispensable to the British as cafes are to the French, and tea houses are indispensable to the Chinese.

  When the night falls, office workers drag their heavy steps into the bars with neon lights. Some of these bars are gentlemen, some sports, some cross-dressing, and some are only open to gays. The dark night gives all kinds of people all kinds of cover. The guests all take off the same formal dress as the daytime disguise and change back to their originals. The face looks bizarre, no one is suitable for children to enter and play.

  The bar is not a nightclub, there is no deafening music, and there are no men and women shaking their heads and dancing. This is a social occasion. Many bars are important places to learn about local culture. The paintings on the walls and exquisite ornaments are more or less related to the local culture, just like small local museums.

  Some places are even frequented by writers. Shakespeare is a frequent visitor to pubs, and he still writes while drinking.

  The bar does not only sell alcohol. There are also non-alcoholic beverages for ladies. The Butterbeer of Three Broomsticks has very low alcohol content.

  The difference in class in the bar will decrease, and Master Malfoy will have to sit on the same level with poor ghost Weasley on three broomsticks. Even if you use the private room, the environment inside will not be much better. The charm of the bar is that people who are usually serious will become less restrained here, and everyone can chat happily.

But the former owner of the Broke Cauldron used it as a place for sneaky people. It was dark, dirty, and there were many elderly people. Some even regarded the bar as a smoking room. Many bars are non-smoking and want to smoke. Go behind the bar.

After Hannah took over the management, the broken cauldron bar has changed a lot. The long dirty table is gone, replaced by a red deck sofa surrounded by a circle, and a small table composed of round wooden tables. The original red bricks are still on the wall, and there are many chocolate frog pictures hanging on it.

  There is an open space in the center of the hall, where everyone can dance or chat to the brisk music from the gramophone shaped like a bell.

  The lighting here is also much better. There are many green fireflies flying in the lampshade, similar to the Hefpaff Lounge. The bar is made of blue glass bricks in a grid shape, which looks like fish scales.

  The colors of the four courtyards of Hogwarts are gathered here, and they are not messy at all. Many of the people who come and go here are the staff of the Ministry of Magic, which looks like a place suitable for children.

Hannah provides board and lodging for the guests like old Tom. Hefpaff has always been good at cooking food. The thick broth is poured on the mashed potatoes, and the small meal bag and flame whiskey can make it blow in the cold wind. People who have been for a long time pick up quickly.

The waiter who served them was Aberforth Dumbledore who looked a lot like Albus Dumbledore. Even though he had a bad temper, everyone was willing to greet Aberforth warmly and encourage him. Put on the same half-moon glasses as his brother.

  But even if everyone is smiling happily at the moment, the atmosphere is harmonious and lively, it can’t stop Pomona’s depression, she eats the food on the plate like chewing wax.

  Severus drank Fire Whiskey silently, as if thinking about his own thoughts.

  There are fairy tales in the West and fairy tales in the East. Just now Zhang Tao told them an Eastern fairy tale.

  A long, long time ago, there was a kid who was naughty and loves painting. His name was Ma Liang.

  His father and mother passed away a long time ago, and made a living by collecting firewood and cutting grass by himself. One day he passed by the entrance of an academy and saw the county magistrate holding a pen drawing, he couldn't help walking in, and said to Master: "I really want to learn painting. Can you lend me a pen?" Master He glared at him and cursed, "Poor boy wants to get a pen, but also wants to learn painting? Dreaming!" After speaking, Ma Liang was pushed out of the door.

Ma Liang is an ambitious child. Since then, he has made up his mind to learn painting and practice hard every day. When he goes to the mountains to collect firewood, he breaks a branch, learns to draw birds on the sand, and uses grass when he mows the grass by the river. Dipping in the river water, learning to trace fish, returned home in the evening, took a piece of charcoal, and painted the things depicted during the day on the walls of the cave dwelling one by one.

In this way, year after year, Ma Liang has never stopped learning to paint. His cave paintings are superimposed on the wall paintings, and he has made rapid progress. In addition to the birds painted, they can’t call and drink like real birds, but the fish are worse. Swim in the water.

  He drew a little hen at the entrance of the village, and there were eagles spinning around in the sky above the entrance of the village. He drew a black wolf in the back mountain, so scared that the cows and sheep did not dare to eat grass in the back mountain. But Ma Liang still doesn't have a pen. How much he wishes he could have one.

One night, Ma Liang was lying in the cave, because he was tired from working all day and studying painting. As soon as he lay down, he fell asleep in a daze. I don’t know when, a burst of colorful lights lit up in the cave. Guangguang, an old man with a white beard came and gave him a pen.

  "This is a magic pen. Use it well."

  Ma Liang took the pen and jumped up with joy. As a result, he woke up this time. It turned out that everything was a dream.

  He rubbed his eyes, planning to get up and continue to work, and found that he was holding the pen in his hand.

He was very happy. He drew a bird with a pen, and the bird flew into the sky with its wings flapping. He drew a fish with the pen, and the fish swam into the water. If anyone does not have cattle, he would draw a cow with a pen. If anyone does not have a waterwheel, he will paint a waterwheel for him, and gradually he has the title of magic brush Ma Liang.

Soon news reached the county magistrate’s ears. He didn’t believe that the paintings would survive, so he forced Ma Liang to paint. Although Ma Liang was a young man, he was a hard-headed man. No matter how the county magistrate coaxed him and tricked him into painting gold ingots He refused, so the county magistrate put him in the stable and refused to give him food.

In the evening, it snowed and a thick layer had accumulated on the ground. The county magistrate thought that Ma Liang would either starve to death or freeze to death. The magic brush belonged to him. But when he walked past the stable door, he found that Ma Liang not only didn’t have it. He died, and a large stove was set on fire, and he was eating cakes while burning.

  The county magistrate angrily called for Jia Ding to kill Ma Liang, but Ma Liang disappeared at this time.

He drew a horse, jumped on the horse, and escaped from the magistrate’s house. At the same time, he overthrew the stove and plunged the magistrate’s house into a sea of ​​flames. Since then, Ma Liang has disappeared, and only occasionally someone has said about him. Still painting for the poor.

Legend has it that the three brothers Peverier received three items from the **** of death, the old wand, the resurrection stone, and the invisibility cloak. Among them, the old wand was claimed by multiple wizards. It can always be found in the darkest and **** chapters of the history of magic. Figure. The resurrection stone was circulated in the Gunter family, and the invisible cloak was circulated in the Admiral Lier family. Later, because of the admiration of Lier's paternal line, it was passed on in the Potter family under the eldest son inheritance system.

  The magical brush has been circulated in Majia according to legend.

The surname Ma is very common. Like Potter, the writing brush is similar to the magic wand. They are made of wood and animal hair. The old magic wand is the body of the elder stick, and the hair of the Yeqi is the center of the rod. The magic brush of Ma Liang is legendary. It is made of sycamore wood. As for the material used for its cutting-edge hair, there are different opinions. Some people even didn't believe there was such a magic pen until Ma Youyan appeared.

The British and French forces broke into the Old Summer Palace and took away a lot of Chinese treasures. The emperor often had a preference for collecting rare treasures from all over the world. Back then, the Manchu Dynasty killed many Han people, and no one knew whether that brush was lost. Went to the palace.

  Ma Yourong is very good at drawing, just like the magic pen Ma Liang in the story, and he claims to be from Henan. Xijing Chang'an, Tokyo Luoyang, the **** city Luoyang was once the imperial capital of Wu Zetian.

  Women are very good at lying. According to legend, she framed the king and queen, saying that the king and queen killed her daughter to death. Then the emperor was furious and deposed her own queen and made Wu Zetian his queen.

  However, the truth is not what the world knows.

  Tang Gaozong Emperor Li Zhi was an emperor who was very good at acting. He has always been known for his benevolence and weakness. He hid behind Wu Zetian, using his body as an excuse to ignore the government, but in fact let Wu Zetian deal with those celebrities.

The abolition of Wang Liwu was not because of pure preference, but also because of political issues. To manage a country requires a complete law. The "Wu Moral Law" used at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty was the "Law of Opening Emperor" left by Yang Jian in the Sui Dynasty. Some modifications have been made to the foundation, which is essentially not much different from the "Law of Kaihuang".

In the Zhenguan period, Tian Khan asked Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others to revise the "Law of Martial Arts" and completed the "Law of Zhenguan". In the reign of Emperor Gaozong and Li Zhiyong, he wanted to change the "Law of Zhenguan" again. This time he participated in the revision. Among the people in the empire, there was Changsun Wuji. At this time, Changsun Wuji, as the minister of life, did not value the young emperor very much. He became more and more like the power minister Cao Cao, and Li Zhi did not want to become the Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. The two people fought against each other as the law was enacted. Opinions at the time were mixed and became increasingly fierce.

  Wang Empress is a woman, not a strong woman, she cannot help Gaozong Li Zhi in her career.

Wu Zetian was a talented man and often helped Tian Khan handle government affairs. Although Changsun Wuji didn't play any role when Li Yuan and his sons fought against the Sui Dynasty, his skills were mainly after the founding of the People's Republic of China. He had heard of Li Chunfeng's prophecy: After the third generation of Tang Dynasty , There is a female Wu in the Tang Dynasty. Wu Zetian happened to be surnamed Wu, so he fiercely opposed making Wu Zetian the queen.

   On the surface, it was a question of the immediate aftermath, but in fact it was a contest between the emperor and the powerful. The final result was clearly written in history.

During the Han and Tang dynasties, Chinese wizards often haunted the court. They knew much more than ordinary people. There were many swindlers in Henan and Shaanxi. The people at the foot of the imperial capital were like this. Politicians were good at lying, and Meng's mother moved to choose neighbors. , Staying with the liar for a long time, will naturally lie.

It’s unclear whether the Henan native named Ma Youyan is really surnamed Ma Zhangtao, but that person is not a kind person. Although he looks like a good person, he also helps a pair of illegal immigrants’ younger brothers. Up.

Before entering the Broken Cauldron Bar, Pomona went to the Muggle bookstore and bought the books that were advertised last time. After Muggle research, there was a big eruption in the Icelandic volcano in 536 AD. A sample of ice core taken from a Swiss glacier contained shards of volcanic glass. Researchers believe that these massive eruptions of volcanic ash shrouded the northern hemisphere for more than a year, affecting the world for 18 months, and the temperature dropped to the coldest in 2300 years. period.

  Trolls originally only existed in Scandinavia, but later appeared in the UK, Ireland and other parts of Northern Europe. The migration of animals is related to the living environment. If the original place of residence is no longer suitable for survival, it will be taken away, just like those abandoned ancient cities in the desert, or Pompeii, before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius It used to be the second most prosperous and affluent city in ancient Rome, because the hot springs became a paradise for the rich, and nobles and wealthy businessmen came here to build luxurious villas and have fun.

However, because of an abuse of magic, the wizard Zacharys Innocenti used the Tarantella curse to "dance" inside Vesuvius, which caused the volcano to erupt and Pompeii was destroyed. If there is any madman, use that Which volcano dances, and the volcanic ash covers the entire northern hemisphere as it was in 536. Then, because of the abnormal climate, it might really be the same as in the movie the day after tomorrow. The second ice age comes early, and because there is no sunshine, if Without sufficient food reserves, many people will starve to death.

  At this time, the useless plant magic in the duel will save many lives.

In Dumbledore’s will, the first thing he did was to give Ronald Weasley the light extinguisher. This was a gadget he made by himself. He hoped to bring light to Ron in the darkest time. .

  In fact, it did. When Ron was besieged by spiders in the Forbidden Forest, he used the light from the lights to drive away the spiders.

  The Deathly Hallows themselves were made by humans, but in fairy tales they became made by the gods of death. What Albus left to Hermione was a fairy tale book, and he hoped she would get fun and inspiration from the book. Harry was left with the Snitch as a reward for his perseverance and skill.

  There is also the sword of Gryffindor, but even the principal has no right to deal with that sword. Fairies and humans have been fighting for its ownership for thousands of years.

  In addition to these, his property was given to Aberforth, but there was a fierce battle over the ownership of his research materials.

Severus was the heir appointed by Albus, including the position of the headmaster, but at the same time he was also the murderer who killed Albus Dumbledore. Sterling felt that he had no inheritance rights, and the Ministry of Magic had not been fully returned at that time. Voldemort was in control, and the Ministry of Magic was really under Voldemort's control until Sterling was killed.

Before Evangeline Orpington, there was another Minister of Magic, Hortensia Millifit. She enforced more laws than any other minister. Most of them were useful, but some were boring and eventually led to The downfall of her regime.

People are like this. It’s easy to remember the bad things of others and forget the good things of others. Wu Zetian was demonized in history. In fact, she is a very poor woman. Her husband cheated on her sister and niece, and was cheated by her father and brother when she was young. Abandoned, a woman can't stand any of the hardships she has experienced, not to mention that she has almost tasted all the pain in the world, and her heart can't help it not to harden.

  But the men did not pity her at all. Instead, they took advantage of her loneliness. Brother Zhang Yizhi put her under house arrest when she was old, and played the game of taking the emperor and ordering the princes.

  She spoke widely, hoping to hear the opinions of the people, but it turned out to be a stage for false accusations. The lives of countless cool officials have been blood-stained throughout Wu Zhou.

She became suspicious and sensitive. She felt that someone was always harming her. Later, because of a false accusation by a maid, she called Tang Minghuang’s mother Dou Guifei and Liu for questioning. As a result, the two living men disappeared in the heavily guarded palace. .

  The crazy world is simply unreasonable. The Muggles who lose their light after the sun disappears or the power is out will not behave as rational as they think.

  Pomona doesn’t know if Zhang Tao knows what she knows, that Chinese is really too mysterious, their history is 5000 years, it is absolutely unwise to look down on them.

In difficult times, a smart leader is needed. After the Wizarding Council becomes the Ministry of Magic, the Minister of Magic can also be dismissed through a motion of no confidence. Kingsley's current performance is not satisfactory. What's worse is that he has an ambitious Auror office director. , If the Ministry of Magic becomes a military government, it would be terrible.

   "Your food is getting cold." Severus said coldly, "Don't waste it."

  Pomona tastes delicious mashed potatoes with chewing wax.

  Praemontius, praemunitus.

  Being warned in advance is like being armed in advance.

  Each family has one or two secrets, and now it seems it’s the Weasley’s turn to preserve a holy artifact. How should she tell Ron Weasley how important the light extinguisher he has is.
