Chapter 112 Analyzing Myths From a Magical Perspective

Cedric looked at Andy with envy.

How come he doesn't have such shame?

Andy patted Cedric on the shoulder, "Hermione has been studying the myths and legends of China recently, and Qiu is also there. How about it, do you want to go to the library to check it out?"

Cedric jumped up from the ground, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

After saying that, Cedric looked at Andy with a resentful look.

Given such a good opportunity, why would you drag me into playing a ridiculous dueling game?

Still not good brothers anymore?

"I'm not doing this just to look more natural!"

Andy spread his hands and said with a smile: "You are a third-year Hufflepuff student. If I take you over directly, how can I tell Qiu?"

"You said you admire her beauty, so you came here to take a look?"

"When did I..." Cedric's face turned red.

It's too embarrassing to say that I admire Qiu's beauty!

Cedric's toes were on the ground and his hands had nowhere to rest.

Andy raised the corners of his mouth slightly and clicked his tongue. He was such an innocent little boy.

"So, I took you to practice dueling, and while chatting, we talked about the wizarding culture of China..."

Andy smiled and said: "Doesn't this seem reasonable?"

Cedric nodded repeatedly, yes, yes, everything you said is right, let's go!

library.

Andy and Cedric searched around and found Hermione and Zhang Qiu in the corner of the library. The two were flipping through books and chatting quietly.

The location was chosen well, just out of sight of Mrs. Pince.

Andy was about to walk over, but found that Cedric stopped where he was and did not follow.

Looking back...

Andy couldn't help but hold his forehead.

A very handsome young man, why is he acting like a nymphomaniac?

"Hey! Don't be stupid!"

Andy pulled Cedric and reminded: "Look at how stupid you are, don't scare Qiu anymore."

"Sauri!"

Cedric came back to his senses, quickly straightened his clothes, and smoothed his hair with his hand, "Andy, is it okay?"

"Very handsome!" Andy shrugged, looking helpless.

"Hi! Hermione, Qiu, hello!" Andy walked over with Cedric, whispered hello, pulled out a chair and sat across from the two of them, the whole movement was as natural as flowing clouds.

"Hello, I am Cedric Diggory, a third-year student from Hufflepuff." Cedric was a little stiff at first, but he quickly adjusted himself and sat next to Andy. .

Zhang Qiu raised his head and glanced at the two of them, "Hello! My name is Zhang Qiu, you can call me Qiu."

"Hello, Mr. Diggory."

Hermione said hello, then looked at Andy and asked, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you wanted to find someone to practice dueling with?"

"Hello, just call me Cedric."

After saying that, Cedric turned his head and glanced at Andy, "Okay, brother, you have laid the groundwork in advance."

Touching…

"Cedric and I talked about the magical world in China, and I didn't expect that he was also quite interested."

Andy responded casually, and then asked: "What are you looking at?"

"There are so many! There are Nuwa patching up the sky, Kuafu chasing the sun, and some other mythological systems."

Hermione said while flipping through the book: "I have heard some myths and stories before - I mean in the Muggle world."

"I have also read the story of Nuwa patching up the sky."

Cedric quickly recalled the information he had checked some time ago, "It is said that in ancient times, when a flood came from the sky and destroyed the world, there was a wizard named Nuwa who could not bear the suffering of the people, so she refined colorful stones to mend the sky."

Zhang Qiu looked at Cedric with surprise when he heard this.

She didn't expect that so many people in the British magic world were curious about the ancient legends of China.

Cedric couldn't help but raise his lips slightly, Andy's information was so useful.

"In many mythological systems, legends about the destruction of the world by floods are recorded."

Hermione looked like she was discussing it seriously, "But in my opinion, that is just an exaggerated statement that ancient people were unable to resist natural disasters."

"If Nuwa was a wizard, the colorful stone should be an alchemical item. We all know that as long as the river embankments are repaired, flooding can be avoided."

Andy: What's going on with your serious discussion tone?

Does anyone care about this now?

Also, aren’t the colorful stones used to mend the sky? Why did he become a river embankment builder?

"Actually, if the myth is closer to reality, it can be understood this way."

Cedric said: "Many Muggle myths and stories are actually caused by ancient wizards. Muggles do not understand wizards' magic. As the rumors spread more and more, they turned into myths over time."

Zhang Qiu said: "My mother also told me these stories when I was a child. In ancient China, there were some legends about wizards during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but they disappeared later. Maybe they were separated from the Muggle world!"

"Are they also called wizards in China?" Andy thought they were always called Qi Practitioners.

Zhang Qiu said: "My mother said so."

Cedric looked surprised, "Over in China, did the magic world and Muggle world separate so early?"

"I know this!"

Hermione said: "It is said that there was a war in ancient China, which seemed to be called the War of the Gods. If it is not a mythical story, maybe wizards participated in the Muggle war."

Zhang Qiu explained: "The Conferred God War seems to have happened at the end of the Shang Dynasty!"

"That makes sense!"

Hermione seemed to have discovered the truth, "Because wizards participated in the war with Muggles, the war caused too many casualties. In order to avoid such a thing from happening again, the magic world was separated from the Muggle world."

Andy: "..."

Is this a forced explanation?

Listening to the three of them discussing one by one, Andy found that if he ignored the memories of his previous life, these explanations still sounded reasonable.

But isn't "The Conferred God List" a novel?

"Andy, why don't you say anything?" It was rare for Hermione to see Andy silent like now.

Andy looked up at Hermione, and Hermione glared at Andy fiercely: You asked me to trick Zhang Qiu back to China, why don't you say anything yourself?

"Are there any books on this subject in the library?" Andy asked.

Hermione handed a large book to Andy, "It's all here, take a look yourself!"

Andy flipped through it casually.

The book does record the legends of ancient China, but looking at these familiar legends from the perspective of magic always gives Andy a weird feeling.

Hermione glanced at the chapter Andy saw, "That's the story of Jingwei filling the sea, but I think that might be a failed Animagus."

Andy: "..."

There are so many complaints.

"Jingwei seemed to have drowned at the seaside?"

Zhang Qiu thought for a while and said, "I remember that to practice Animagus transformation, it seems that you need to wait until the stormy weather."
