Chapter 80 Brother Xiao Ming Talks About the Supernatural World
The first week of summer vacation.
In order to be an idealistic salted fish in the castle, Chen Bin showed his full training schedule from 8:59 to 17:59, which was exactly the time when his handsome father went to work.
Then, he always practiced Transfiguration desperately before his handsome father went to work, and immediately lay back on the bed after he left.
To be more specific, he was lying down to learn Dumbledore's top-secret Transfiguration experience, and his progress was slightly better than that of the Hehe level. Whether he trained hard or lay down to understand, there was almost no difference, which had been verified in the activity room of Hogwarts.
After Catalina came back, she no longer talked to Chen Bin, and even when Chen Bin came to the dining table, she would go back to her room. Such an obvious quarrel naturally could not escape Isabel's eyes, so Chen Bin was caught and forced to abdicate.
"Mom, if you were me, would you be emotional about a little girl?" Chen Bin was hung upside down on a big tree in the garden, and he had no ability to resist at all.
Isabel thought about it and felt it was indeed very difficult. "No, didn't I fall in love with Weiguo at first sight?"
"Dad was less than 40 years old at that time, but you are over 60."
"Xiao Binbin, are you itching?"
After Chen Bin suffered a lesson of bad mouth, Yisha couldn't think of a solution, so he let the "children" do whatever they wanted.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard Chen Bin pretended to be, Grandpa Chen still remembered that his dear great-grandson was on summer vacation. He followed the network cable, no, he followed the door key across half the world.
Yisha didn't dare to stop this ancestor, and tied Chen Bin directly to the front door.
"Mom, I hate you." Chen Bin left sad tears and was carried back to the old house by Grandpa.
It was said that there was nothing to teach, just regular practice, all bullshit!
Chen Bin decided to live in Hogwarts next summer vacation. If Old Dumbledore couldn't stop Grandpa, he wouldn't fight Voldemort. Anyway, it was Old Dumbledore who violated the unbreakable oath first, because he couldn't train Chen Bin into a peerless master.
The old man had been feeding Chen Bin with tricks from morning till night for two weeks, causing Chen Bin to have no good meat on his body, even if he was boiled in the medicine jar for a long time, it was useless.
The old man was serious this time.
After fainting for the 89th time, Chen Bin gave up the idea of practicing martial arts, and only thought of defecting to Eastern Europe and never coming back.
After fainting for more than 200 times, Chen Bin could no longer count the number of times he was killed in seconds. In short, the time he was awake was several times shorter than the time he was unconscious. He felt that defecting to Eastern Europe was not safe, and was considering hiding his identity in Africa.
When Chen Bin collapsed, he had figured it out. Even if he fled to Africa, he could not escape the clutches of the old man, because the old man's cousin just came back from South Africa and gave Chen Bin a specimen of a human-headed bird-bodied monster called "Ba".
He was not surprised to come back from South Africa. What made Chen Bin collapse was that his ancestors were hunting down the African chieftain's great lich.
The most popular system in the African magic world is not the country as the mainstream, but the chieftain tribal system. The most powerful chieftain tribe even transcends the borders of the country, and this great lich is the supreme leader of such tribes.
After it was transformed into a lich, it was no longer considered a human being. It thought it was invincible, which made Chen Zuzong angry. He beat the transnational king for a long time, chasing and beating him all the way, and directly penetrated the entire African continent, making this desperate lich surrender in South Africa.
However, the ancestor did not accept this ghost thing and drove it away.
The strange bird specimen was a specialty that the ancestor bought while beating the lich in Egypt. After putting it into the Qiankun bag, he continued to beat the lich.
After watching the ancestor leave the garden, Chen Bin's heart of defection also left his body. He couldn't beat, scold, or hide, and Chen Bin didn't have the immortal body of the Judah lich, so he could only accept his fate.
One night, Chen Bin woke up in the tank in the medicinal bath room and found that there was a medicine tank burning firewood next to him, and a fainted young man was also boiling in the tank.
When he woke up, the two of them were lying in their own tanks and chatting.
The young man was named Chen Xiaoming, 26 years old, and was a brother of Chen Bin, that is, the descendant of the old man's cousin, and of the same generation as Chen Bin.
Well, Brother Xiaoming is indeed of the same generation as Chen Bin, who said that Chen Weiguo was also a late-married dog in this life?
According to the genealogy, Chen Bin's generation must take a single character, and the family calls him a junior, so Chen Bin is actually Chen Xiaobin according to the genealogy, and will be given a character by the elders after the ceremony of capping.
Chen Xiaoming is actually called Chen Ming, with the character Tonghui, and the nickname Day and Night Layman.
The names, characters and nicknames of the ancients were separate, but the three were related.
Chen Ming, with the character Tonghui, seems to have no connection, but this Tonghui refers to the phenomenon of the sun and the moon shining together, that is, when the sun and the moon appear at the same time, that is, Sun + Moon = Bright. There is no need to explain the title Day and Night, you can tell at a glance that it is related to the "Ming character".
For example, Zhuge Liang, whose courtesy name is Kongming; Zhang Fei, whose courtesy name is Yide, still have a connection between the given name and courtesy name: Ming and Liang, Yi and Fei.
In addition to the given name and courtesy name, the ancients would also take a fixed nickname to replace the given name. The "Book of Zhou" mentioned that the nickname is "to honor the given name and make it more beautiful", that is, the nickname needs to be called more elegantly, and the nicknames "Er Gou Dan" and "San Leng Zi" will not be used, even if the nickname is appropriate to the given name.
In the early days, most people who took nicknames were saints and scholars, for example, Laozi's nickname was "Guangchengzi" and Fan Li's nickname was "Yizi".
People in the world of monks would also take a nickname after the ceremony of capping, that is, XXzi, and others would respectfully call XX layman. For example, the founder of the Chen family in eastern Guangdong was called Chen Nan, with the courtesy name Nanmu and the courtesy name Cuixuzi.
Similarly, after the coming of age ceremony, Chen Bin will most likely be called: Chen Bin, with the courtesy name Wenwu and the nickname Deyizi. If he has great achievements in the future, others will respectfully call him "Deyi Jushi", and if he is not doing as well as a dog, he will be called Xiaobin.
Day and Night Jushi (Xiaoming brother) is obviously one of those who are not doing well. He is a small constable in the cultivator world, but he was injured when he mediated the sect dispute today, so he was moved back to his hometown by the old man in his family.
Originally, Chen Bin thought that he was beaten so badly by the fierce man in the sect, but Xiaoming brother smiled bitterly: "My father is the head of the constable. Seeing that I couldn't dodge the fire curse of the deputy sect master, he tied me back to my hometown to train until now."
The father beat his son, and beat him to death. Chen Bin was speechless.
"Does the Chen family really have a tradition of abusing the younger generation?"
Xiaoming brother sighed and nodded: "In addition to practicing true qi, martial arts practitioners also need to constantly feed moves to grow, unlike cultivators who only rely on brains to make a living."
The two sighed at the same time
Chen Bin wanted to introduce himself, but Xiao Ming knew all about his deeds, because he had already become a child of other families in the clan.
He cultivated the true qi of a mature martial artist at the age of 13, owned a large number of enterprises in the European supernatural world, built a large number of factories in the secular world, worked as a tutor in the highest monastic academy in Britain, created the Chen family magic conversion method, and was personally taught by the old man, etc. He was the most shining younger generation in the family, without a doubt.
"My dad compares me with you almost every day. Is it easy for me?" Xiao Ming said, and his eyes began to tear up.
Chen Bin understood his feelings. It was easy to be compared with a 13-year-old child at the age of 26, and to be compared every day.
"Don't talk about spoiling the fun. Why don't you tell me about the monastic world." Chen Bin had never entered the monastic world in his life, so he took the opportunity to inquire about the relationship between the monastic and the mortal worlds.
He only knew that the monastic world in this world was a heavyweight in the International Wizarding Federation, and he didn't like to preside over meetings, and he didn't like to meddle in other people's business. Therefore, Dumbledore has long served as the chairman of the Federation, and usually discusses issues related to the European magic world. However, this Federation is the United Nations of the magic world, and representatives from all over the world will also attend.
However, Chen Bin has lived in the UK for so long and has rarely heard of magic related to his motherland. At most, he has only heard of fireball dragons or some characters introduced on the cards included in chocolate frogs.
For example, Zou Yan (Dzou Yen) of the Warring States Period was introduced as a wizard in the 4th century BC, who was an ancestor of Eastern alchemy; Quong Po of the Ming Dynasty, even Chen Bin had never heard of his name in the official history, but he was a famous dragonologist, an authoritative scholar on the breeding methods of fireball dragons, and discovered the use of dragon egg powder.
In addition, the British magic world rarely mentions Eastern wizards.
Brother Xiao Ming did not hide anything from his brothers, and told some news that every monk knew.
The written history of the monk world began in the 15th century BC, and all the older history was classified as a legendary era. However, the cultural relics in the monk world are more intact. Many super-old families still retain ancient bronzes, and some of the formations created today still use oracle bone scripts from that period as runes.
However, many mythological figures have documents in the monk world to prove that they are serious monks, such as the general holding a tower-shaped magic weapon, three children with the word "Zha" in their family, and a Taoist priest who used the "Lotus Planting Technique" to recast the body of his youngest son and gave him three magic weapons - Wind Fire Wheel, Qiankun Circle, and Hun Tian Ling.
Lei Zhenzi, Erlang Shen, the Dragon King of the East China Sea and other non-human creatures, their prototypes are the profound illusion monks, some are equipped with embedded magic weapons (Sky Eye), and some... are not human creatures. Yes, there are really dragons in the monk world! However, the current dragons are not as intelligent as their ancestors, nor as powerful as recorded, otherwise the subspecies they gave birth to would not have become the gatekeeper monsters of the "Triwizard Tournament".
The same is true for human monks. The ancient sages in the literature are more like mythical figures than monks. Nowadays, the monk community generally believes that if the literature does not adopt exaggerated descriptions, then the combat power of the monk community is regressing.
However, combat power is combat power, and the civilization of the monk community is constantly improving. For example, in the era of Nezha, it is impossible to have a large-scale teleportation array, there is no magic tool for automatically refilling tea, and even tea has not been invented!
The Asian supernatural world is much stronger than Europe, and there is also a world cultivation alliance.
In the 17th century, the "International Wizarding Federation" initiated by Europe took the initiative to find the Eastern supernatural world, hoping to organize a global supernatural alliance. The monk community thought that this was just an ordinary forum and joined with the mentality of giving it a try.
Then, the weird African magic world also joined this federation. Anyone with common sense knows that the supernatural forces in the world cannot wave a small stick to cast spells like Europe, and Africa is also different from the European magic system.
Their mainstream is tribal system, and there is no concept of national boundaries, so it is not easy to introduce them to the meeting. As a result, some Ministry of Magic decrees do not go beyond the capital, and some jurisdictions extend beyond national borders. Anyone who controls a secular capital is qualified to serve as the country's representative to the Ministry of Magic.
