Hogwarts Wizarding Journey

Over the past week, Bell has selected a lot of books, intending to buy them all and read them slowly when he returns home. On the other hand, he has also gained a certain understanding of the overall situation of the Chinese monk community.

First of all, regarding the history of the Chinese monk community, Bell found... nothing special.

The history of China in this world, for some reason, is not much different from Bell's previous life in general direction. At most, the names of the dynasties are different, or the time when the events occurred is different.

The only difference is that some feudal legends in the previous life are basically the good deeds of monks in this world.

But this is just Bell's subjective feeling. After all, his historical results are not good, and he has been hovering around the passing line.

To use a more fashionable metaphor, after each exam, Bell's history scores were like "Schrödinger's cat." Before the papers were handed out, he would never know whether he had passed or failed.

.

In addition to history, Bell's biggest gain is that he has a clearer understanding of the Chinese cultivation system.

From the source of power, there is no difference between monks and wizards. They both come from the innate magic power in the body. It's just that monks call it 'spiritual power'.

But when it comes to spells, especially advanced and large-scale spells, they are obviously different from magic spells.

When wizards use some difficult spells, if they only rely on the instinctive reaction of magic power, it will easily lead to problems such as spell casting failure, excessive magic power consumption, and difficulty in control.

Ancient wizards discovered the existence of "magic patterns" through research and observation of magical creatures.

The so-called magic patterns are not actually anything grand. They are just patterns naturally formed on the bodies or bones of some magical creatures.

The first wizards used magic to imitate these patterns to help themselves cast magic.

With continuous exploration and research, these magic patterns were continuously classified and simplified, and finally formed the 'magic text' system used by modern wizards.

Just like the wizards in ancient times, the monks in ancient times, or should they be called Taoist priests at that time? They also faced the same problems.

Therefore, Taoist priests also found a way to solve the problem from magical creatures - magic patterns.

However, due to differences in language systems, in China, these magic patterns eventually evolved into formations.

Compared with Western magic spells, spell casting is simple, but the effect time is short, and it is more suitable for single use. Although the Chinese formation has the disadvantages of difficulty in casting and long time consumption, once the formation is deployed, it can maintain itself for a long time.

time.

For example, in order to prevent the spread of the concept of ordinary people's hatred of extraordinary beings into the Central Plains, the monks built a huge formation - the 'Kiuzhou Guardian Formation' to prevent Western wizards from entering. This formation remained until a thousand years later

Today, it is still operating normally.

It was only then that Bell realized why there was no key passage connecting Europe and China.

In order to open a space channel connecting the inside and outside of the Kyushu Guardian Formation, it would require a huge amount of manpower, material resources and time.

In addition to its long maintenance time, the formation also has another advantage, that is, it is good at integrating forces.

For wizards, most of the time they use magic alone. When necessary, it is usually 3 or 5 people who jointly cast spells.

If you want to increase the number of people who jointly cast spells to more than 10, it will be almost impossible to succeed unless you are led by a wizard with extremely high magical attainments.

This can be seen from the battle between Grindelwald and Voldemort, the two Dark Lords before and after them, when they were wreaking havoc. Most of the time, the wizards were in a melee, each fighting his own way.

When monks use the power of formations, they can even bring together hundreds or even thousands of people to fight against the enemy together. Several powerful demons in the history of China were basically defeated by this kind of force.

Suppressed by the great formation.

No wonder that when Grindelwald was wreaking havoc on the world, he never entered China, or even the lands surrounding China. If he accidentally bumped into a large formation, Dumbledore might not have appeared.

Opportunity.

Of course, a coalition of hundreds or even thousands of people requires not only powerful formations to support it, but also a long period of training and running-in.

However, it would be much simpler if there were only a dozen or dozens of people joining forces. Even strangers, with the guidance and assistance of the formation, would only need a short time to

Gather your spiritual power together to fight against the enemy.

So in general, in low-level duels, wizards have an advantage in spell casting speed. But if it is a group battle, wizards will probably be pressed to the ground and rubbed.

As for high levels? In fact, these differences are not that important. Different paths lead to the same goal.

In addition to spells, Bell also figured out what was going on with the 'skills' that he had always been curious about before.

The first thing to emphasize is that only monks can practice the exercises. According to the Chinese monk community, you must have a 'spiritual root' in your body.

The second thing to emphasize is that Kung Fu is not actually a way to cultivate spiritual power. It is actually the third method of using magic discovered by monks in addition to flying swords and talismans.

Moreover, wizards actually have this method, but no one has systematically summarized it.

So having said all that, what exactly is the practice?

In fact, it is the 'magic-strengthened body' that Bell has listed as his primary research goal since he was very young.

There are not many types of exercises in China, and the methods of cultivation are all similar.

The first step in practicing the technique is to open up the Dantian Qi sea.

The function of Dantian Qihai is to provide a place for the spiritual power to change its nature after receiving the monk's thoughts.

The monks chose the location of the Dantian Qi Sea at the Tanzhong point on the chest. This is because it is not only protected by the sternum, but also located in the gap between the two lungs. In this way, when practicing the exercises, even if you are not able to

If you control your spiritual power well, it will not easily harm fragile internal organs.

After successfully opening up the Dantian Qi Sea, the second step is to strengthen the meridians.

After the spiritual power has completed the change in nature in the Dantian Qi Sea, it still needs to be released outside the body in order to truly form a spell.

In order to prevent the spiritual power that has completed its change in nature from harming the human body, the monks chose to strengthen certain meridians individually to create a fixed path for the spiritual power to pass through.

After completing these two steps, it means that a skill has been successfully practiced. The next thing to do is to continuously consolidate the Dantian Qihai and continue to strengthen the meridians.
