Chapter 890 Ye Qi
In fact, there was nothing around, and most people stopped and looked at Hagrid in confusion.
Ron was still staring around the woods. After a few seconds, he asked Harry in a low voice, "Why doesn't Hagrid stop shouting?"
Only then did Fan Lin realize that there are some things that cannot be observed with the eyes, because they will deceive you, just like invisible beasts. Maybe Hagrid has prepared something amazing.
"Ye Qi?"
Fan Lin looked at Hagrid with some surprise. He could spot these guys, but he couldn't see them as clearly as Harry. After all, it was just a sense of magic.
However, not everyone has such ability, just like Ron, Ron still doesn't understand what happened.
In fact, Harry felt a rush of relief. At least it was proof that he hadn't imagined these creatures, that they were real: Hagrid knew about them, in addition to Vanlin and Luna.
Most of the students had the same expression as Ron: confused and nervously looking forward to it. They still looked around but couldn't notice the horses that were only a few feet away from them.
Apart from Harry and Vanlin, only two other people seemed to be able to see them: a slender Slytherin boy standing behind Goyle, watching the horse eat with a look of disgust on his face; And Neville, his eyes followed the long black ponytail.
"Oh, here comes another one!" Hagrid said proudly, when the second black horse appeared from the dark woods, folded its leathery wings close to his body, lowered its head and started to eat hungrily.
"Now...raise your hands, who can see them?"
Harry raised his hand, delighted that he was finally about to learn the secret about the horses. Hagrid nodded at him.
"Yes... yes, I know you can see that, Harry," he said seriously. "You can do it too, Neville, right? And Fanlin... you..."
"Oh, I can see it too." Fan Lin nodded matter-of-factly.
"Okay, then..."
"Excuse me," Malfoy said in a mocking tone, "What are we supposed to be looking at?"
In answer, Hagrid pointed to the cow carcass on the ground. The entire class stared for a few seconds, then some gasped in surprise and Attila screamed softly. Harry knew why: pieces of flesh seemed to fall off the bones naturally, and then disappeared into the thin air. It looked really weird.
"What's here?" Attila asked fearfully, hiding behind the nearest tree. "What's eating meat?"
"Yeqi!" Hagrid said proudly, and Hermione whispered over Harry's shoulder, "Oh!" to express understanding.
"There's a big crowd here at Hogwarts. Now, who knows...?"
"But they are very, very unlucky!" Attila interrupted, looking wary. "They bring all kinds of bad luck to anyone who sees them. Professor Trauni once told me—"
"No, no, no," Hagrid chuckled, "That's just superstition. The fact is, they are not unlucky, they are very smart and useful! Of course, they don't have a lot of work. Their main job is to attract students from the school. Carriages, and when Dumbledore doesn't want to go to a faraway place himself... here comes another pair, look..."
Hagrid looked very happy, smiling like a child weighing more than 400 pounds.
Two more horses walked quietly from the woods. One of them passed very close to Attila. She trembled and brought herself closer to the tree stump. She said, "I think I feel something. I think it is very close to me." close!"
"Don't worry, she won't hurt you," Hagrid said patiently. "Okay, now who can tell me why some people can see and others can't?"
Naturally, Hermione raised her hand.
"Go ahead," Hagrid said with a smile.
"The only person who can see Ye Qi," she said, "is the person who has seen death."
"Exactly," Hagrid said seriously, "Ten more Green points.
"So, who else knows about Ye Qi's other things?" Hagrid asked loudly.
"They still have a good sense of direction, you just need to tell them the location." Fan Lin returned.
This is exactly the case. In fact, in Fan Lin's view, Ye Qi is more like a pieced together creature, with a head like a dragon's head, a body like a horse, a pair of bat-like wings, and silver-white eyes with no pupils. .
Speaking of which, Ye Qi can be regarded as a type of Pegasus, which is easier to understand. Ye Qi's close relatives are the magic horses that pull Beauxbatons' carts. However, unlike the noble and elegant magic horses, only those who have seen death and Only those who truly understand death can see Thestrals.
Their shape is somewhat similar to that of reptiles. They have huge black horse bodies with no flesh at all. The black fur is tightly attached to the bones. Each bone is clearly visible. It can be said that they are skinny, at least, at Hogwarts. These things in life are like this, like a winged skeleton war horse, with wings growing out of the ridge between the shoulder bones.
There is such a superstition among wizards: Thestrals will bring terrible disasters to those who see them, and they are an unlucky animal.
In fact, they are very useful. Yeqi's sense of direction is amazing. Just tell them your destination and they will send you to where you want to go no matter where you are. Moreover, Yeqi is also a perfect mount and does not want to be a magic rune. Unlike the unruly horses, Ye Qi's temperament is more docile, easy to tame, and very easy to find.
Ye Qi will gather together when they smell blood.
Most importantly, Ye Qi's tail hairs are also an extremely precious wand core. They are inseparable from death and seem to bring a special power to the wand.
However, due to the nature of Ye Qi, few people can see it, especially now.
It is not difficult to find Ye Qi. All you need is a keen sense of magic. Naturally, you can feel the mysterious energy lingering there.
However, precisely because of this, keen perception seems to be a luxury, and what is needed more is death. Therefore, in the mouths of some prophets, Ye Qi has become the incarnation of death. Superstitious people think that this creature is very unfair. They are auspicious and will bring all kinds of terrible disasters to those who see them. They are a bad omen.
Just like the black dog.
"I saw something ominous in your tea cup..." Fan Lin suddenly thought of the first lesson Professor Trauni gave them in the third grade. It was definitely a wave of death announcements. At least, it was scary. There were a lot of people living here. If Professor McGonagall hadn't stepped forward, I believe Professor Trauni could have been able to bluff them for much longer.
