No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 915: Questions about Superstition

Wormtail's escape from prison gave Ou Mengmeng a sense of urgency. Because in the original book, Wormtail escaped at the end of the semester. But now, the school has just started, so although they seem to have had a year, they have actually been ahead of schedule.

Therefore, the timeline was advanced by one year. Harry was also a Horcrux, so it was estimated that it would not be hidden for long. Therefore, she had to remove the scar on Harry's head before Dumbledore did.

In fact, Ou Mengmeng also thought that as long as she found the remnant soul and Nani and killed them, little Harry would live to be old and die of old age. However, she felt that old Dumbledore would not allow this. In the original book, Dumbledore's arrangement was to let the mysterious man kill Harry, and then others could kill Nani and the mysterious man. This is a step-by-step process, and the author probably wrote it this way for a reason.

Of course, Ou Mengmeng was also afraid that if the piece on Harry's head didn't die, the remaining soul wouldn't die either. So she could only look back and see how to deal with the piece on Harry's head.

In the past two years, Ou Mengmeng has actually been studying the ancient legends of the Flower Country. The story about realgar wine gave her great confidence. She felt that science is universal. Realgar is useful for snakes, so is there anything in the ancient legends that can be used as a reference?

The Flower Country believes that people have three souls and seven spirits. The Noseless Monster just split the soul into seven fragments. Little Harry's was an accident, caused by the collision between the "Sacrifice of Love" and the Unforgivable Curse of the Noseless Monster. This is a coincidence.

Could it be that due to the powerful impact, the three souls and seven spirits were displaced? A small piece of it attached to little Harry's body. Is this a bit like being possessed by a ghost?
The book also said that Harry's soul fragment was actually the weakest among them. It was completely useless, except that it increased Harry's professional skills, such as being a snake speaker; for example, he could communicate with residual souls. This is very similar to the second soul of the three souls in the three souls and seven spirits, "Shuangling".

"Shuang" means fast. Many people have the ability to do mental arithmetic, including some idiot geniuses. Just tell them a date and they can tell you what day of the week it is. This cannot be deduced by logic, it is a natural instinct.

"Ling" is simplified from "Ling". What does "Ling" mean? There is a witch at the bottom and three mouths in the middle, indicating that one can communicate with heaven and earth by chanting spells and moving the mouth.

Shuangling determines a person's intelligence, wisdom, and reaction speed! Now Harry's calmness and rationality, without any interference, are obviously due to the influence of this small piece.

But there are many ghost stories in ancient books, but not many ways to deal with ghosts. You say, can Ou Mengmeng find Zhang Tianshi, or ask the Black and White Impermanence, or Zhong Kui to come to the world of the living? Isn't this funny? She thinks the most useful thing may be the legendary Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate, which uses acupuncture to expel the "qi" in the human body that does not belong to the body. They also believe that this qi is the invading soul.

Other ideas, such as sunbathing, strengthening physical exercise, carrying copper coins, using peach wood swords, throwing sticky rice, etc., don't sound very reliable. She is a cultured person after all, so it's unscientific...

Forget it, it's not scientific for her to travel through time. So she called Harry over and talked about his headache in private. Although the most serious one in recent years was the time when he bumped into Professor Quirrell, he would actually get a twitch of pain occasionally. In the original book, it was specifically written that eighteen years later, the scar was still there, but it never hurt again. Harry didn't really care at the time, and besides, he had just established some tacit understanding with Dumbledore, and he didn't want to come and get treatment at this time. It would affect his mood! However, Ou Mengmeng still had the same idea. Mainly, she was a little uneasy because she hadn't found a way to cure it, so she could only try one by one. The process might be a little nonsensical, but she had to try.

Harry has a very good temper, so when he is not in class at school, Ou Mengmeng tries to get him to bask in the sun and exercise. Because in the logic of the Flower Country, ghosts belong to yin, and it seems to make sense to expose them to the sun; as for strengthening exercise, it is to strengthen one's own physique, so that the evil spirits can't rest and be squeezed out of the body. Whether it is true or not, the little boy should strengthen physical exercise, otherwise he won't grow taller. Didn't the actor in the movie not grow taller? It made it very awkward whether to change the actor or not.

But as for sunbathing, the sun is scarce in the UK, not to mention that Hogwarts is in the north of the Scottish Highlands. Wizards in the magic world don't like the sun. They are used to hiding, and they feel uncomfortable facing the sun. This is what they thought when they chose the school site.

As for strengthening the body, well, their physical education class is not a broomstick class. It's not that the control doesn't require physical strength, but do you think the broomstick exercise is heavy? Not as good as rowing and swimming.

This is arranged, no matter if it is useful or not, just deal with it first, and then some very mysterious ones. For example, the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles!

She went to a famous Chinese medicine store, which is famous for being extremely expensive even in the flower-growing country. It was a bit good, because the brand was valuable and not a scam. She was also very happy to see a blond girl speaking standard Mandarin. She was obviously an international friend. She was particularly willing to chat with her.

As a result, when people heard that she wanted to use the Thirteen Ghost Needles to exorcise ghosts, the receptionist turned green. The receptionists here are all college graduates. Many of them are majoring in traditional Chinese medicine. After a long pause, they said that this possibility is not great. Why don't you go to the temple or Taoist temple to have a look?
Ou Mengmeng saw a kind of pity in their eyes. Maybe they thought, how can a good girl be superstitious? Ou Mengmeng also wanted to cry. She didn't want to be superstitious, but that was the way it was. What could she do?
I went to Huaguo Street to look for those things that could drive away ghosts as described in the books. I pasted a statue of Zhong Kui that was said to have been blessed on Harry's bedside; I also put a ghost money pendant around his neck to absorb negative energy; I sewed an old white jade pendant on his wizard's hat; I also had a peach wood sword and black dog blood... Anyway, the main goal was to cast a wide net and focus on training.

What hurts Ou Mengmeng the most is that there is no quantitative indicator to tell whether the thing has gone. It feels better to be like in a ghost movie, where a piece of talisman paper goes down, white smoke comes out, and the ghost is burned and comes out by itself.

In the first film, there is actually a similar plot. Whenever Harry touches Chirror's skin, Chirror will smoke and his skin will burn. Harry, who had no power to fight back at the time, grabbed Chirror with both hands, causing Chirror to suffer unbearable pain, and forced the remaining soul of the mysterious man to escape. Dumbledore's explanation for this is the power of love. Because Harry's mother Lily left a mark of love on him, this is what the mysterious man fears the most.

But the question is, can she let Harry rub his hands and cover his head? He washes his face and takes a bath every day. Obviously, the soul fragment has been deeply embedded in little Harry's body. So, naturally, he can't hurt himself.

So, what should she do? She couldn't fly to the Flower Country to find Master Zhang, right? The main thing was, did the man on Longhu Mountain have any magic?

Recently, the colleague who distributed cooling water was very depressed because after the beginning of autumn, the temperature reported by the iPhone was always 34, while the company required 35 to distribute cooling water. She didn't want to not distribute it, but was afraid of people's criticism. But she had to take a screenshot to do the accounting. So she asked the colleagues with Android system to see if their temperature was also 34. Android was very good, and they reported 35.
