Professor Rupert Hogwarts

Chapter 380 Zhuangzi?

Hearing the old man's words, Aisen's face showed deep doubts.What does it mean that for more than 20 years, only he can see each other?

"I heard you right. You said that only I can see you for more than 20 years - do you mean that no one here can see you?" Looking at the old man's happy face, Eisen was full of thoughts. question mark.

No one could see him for more than 20 years, so was he lying?If he is lying, then he is simply an old liar, but if he is not lying, doesn't it mean that everything he says is true!
Hmm——, as his mind turned, Eisen activated the Laplace Demon System and cast the mind-reading spell, one of the variants of Legilimency.In an instant, the emotions and thoughts fed back from the other party told Eisen that the other party was not lying.

But if it is true that no one can see him for more than 20 years, what is the reason?
"That's right! What? Don't you believe it?" The old man looked at Aisen with a smile, as if he was looking at some treasure, which made Aisen feel a little numb.

"No, no, it's just that, you said no one could see you for more than 20 years, was it true that someone could see you more than 20 years ago?" Eisen waved his hand and asked.

"Young man, you are right!" The old man retracted his gaze from constantly sizing up Aisen, but when he mentioned this, his brows suddenly wrinkled.

Not only that, his whole temperament also changed.After a while, he sighed sadly as if he was recalling the past.

Seeing the changes in his expression and posture, Aisen felt a chill in his heart.

Could it be that something happened?etc--

More than 20 years ago? More than 20 years ago, suddenly no one could see him.

"Old man, you said that more than 20 years ago, suddenly no one could see you. Do you still remember the specific year?" With thoughts in his mind, Eisen asked.

"The specific time? It was the 29th year of King Zhou Nan - no, it was 1972." After the old man came to his senses, he pinched his hands as if calculating, and then actually said a time that surprised Eisen.

If the other party is right, 1972 is exactly the year he was born!Could it be that because he came to this world, he caused some strange changes?

etc--

Weird change?Could it be that he traveled through time and space some time ago and returned to the past 1 years ago, and then jumped directly from 1971 to 1972, due to the changes caused by the "shock" of the world?
Uh, so to put it this way, could it be that not only Eisen himself was shocked from the parallel world before 1971 to the mirror space of the main world, but even the old man in front of him was also shocked into a special space that no one else could see?

"Old man, since you said that no one has been able to see you for more than 20 years, haven't you ever thought of communicating with others through other means?" Thinking of this, Eisen showed curiosity.

"I know what you want to say, but unfortunately, I have been like a ghost for more than 20 years, unable to have any impact on this world!" The old man seemed to understand what Eisen meant at once, and he squatted down and exerted his strength while speaking. It scratched on the ground.

Looking at the other party's posture, Eisen thought that the other party could draw an obvious scratch on the ground.But unexpectedly, after the opponent's fingers crossed the ground, there were no traces left.

This is a very strange thing. Eisen clearly felt that the other party's fingers had touched the ground, but they passed across the ground without leaving any trace.

In other words, if the old man wanted to communicate with other people through writing, he actually couldn't do it.For a moment, Aisen had several more question marks on his forehead.

Could it be that the other party was trapped in the mirror space like him?
But, it's not right either!
When Eisen was trapped in the mirror space before, he was able to destroy the outside environment within two seconds.However, due to the physical mapping of the real world, it will return to its original state after two seconds.

But right now, the old man's actions in front of him seemed rather strange.Although the other party can touch the real world, it cannot exert any influence.

This is obviously different from the situation Aisen encountered before.

But if the situation is different from what Aisen encountered, then what happened to this old man?
"Young man, are you British?" The old man stood up and asked with a smile, but his tone was firm.It seems that he has known the origin of Aisen for a long time.

"Old man, do you know Britain?" Eisen suppressed all the thoughts that were about to pop up in his mind, and smiled with a hint of surprise on his face.

"Haha, I know! I often hang out there!" The old man laughed again, "Okay, okay, don't call me old man. My name is Zhuang Zhou. According to the way you call me over there, call me Zhuang Ye. Okay. What do you call young man?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, my name is Eisen Turner, you can just call me Eisen!" Eisen said with a sneer on his face, "But your name is quite powerful. Zhuang Zhou, like famous people in history Same. You know, it’s Zhuangzi, the representative of the Taoist school!”

"I know, I am the Zhuang Zhou you mentioned!" the old man said with a smile.

"Oh, you're Zhuang - you're not kidding?" The expression on Aisen's face was stiff for a moment, but then he seemed to have thought of something, and then turned into a look of shock.

Yes, yes, I just asked him about the specific time when others would not be able to see him. Before he said 1972, he also said the 29th year of King Nan of Zhou Dynasty.

This time point - isn't it the year when Zhuangzi died?

This - could it be that Zhuangzi never died, but went into hiding?Doesn't this mean that the other party has lived for more than 2000 years?
If the other person was really Zhuangzi and told the truth, no one would have seen him for more than 2000 years.This means that he has not communicated with anyone for more than 2000 years.

He had not communicated with anyone for more than 2000 years, but he was not yet "crazy". When he first met Aisen, who could see him, he was able to change from a state of joy to calmness in just a few seconds. It's really scary.

Well, or you can put it another way, that is, the other party's state of mind may be very terrifying.There is no guarantee that the other party must have achieved what Zhang Mingwen said about the eternal Taoist heart.

No, no, the other party has made it very clear just now, but no one has seen him in more than 20 years.It's not that no one saw him for over 2000 years.

This means that even if he really is Zhuangzi who has lived for more than 2000 years, he has only not communicated with others in the last 20 years.

Thinking like this, Aisen showed a thoughtful expression.

However, if the historical Zhuangzi really lived until modern times, then there is no reason why legends about the other party would not appear in the wizarding world?

After all, as long as Zhuangzi communicates and comes into contact with people, he will inevitably make some friends in various eras.No matter how much he advocates freedom and no matter how quiet he is, it's impossible for everyone to look down on him.

For example, Zhang Daoling, Lu Dongbin, Zhang Sanfeng and other figures.

Once Zhuangzi makes friends and lives with others, corresponding traces will inevitably be left.Then some legends about Zhuangzi's survival spread.

Just like the Nicoléme couple, no matter how much they hide themselves, unless they completely cut off communication with the outside world, there will always be clues passed down.

Could it be that Zhuangzi would be like the protagonist of "This Man is from the Earth", who has to change his name and surname in a different place every few decades?

This is indeed possible in theory, but in practice it is not in line with Zhuangzi's style.

That's right, according to Zhuangzi's free-spirited character, he shouldn't be the kind of person who would change his name.

"Oh? Does Aisen know my identity clearly, old man?" Zhuang Zhou smiled immediately when he saw Aisen's expression change.

"Ahem——, yes, I know a little bit. The most famous one is the "Zhuang Zhou Mengdie" who was passed down to later generations. Now it seems that you should be a wizard. Oh, according to the saying here, you are called a monk. Come on." Aisen cleared his throat and looked at the other person curiously.

"It seems that you do know something about the old man, Aisen." Zhuang Zhou stroked his white beard with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"By the way, you just said that no one has seen you for more than 20 years, but what about the previous 2000 years?" Eisen crossed his arms and asked the question he just thought about.

"Who told you that I have lived for more than 2000 years?" Hearing Aisen's question, Zhuang Zhou paused for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

"You didn't live for more than 2000 years?" Eisen was confused. "Aren't you Zhuang Zhou? The Zhuang Zhou who wrote "Xiaoyaoyou" and "Equality of Things"?"

"Yes, I am the Zhuang Zhou you mentioned!" Zhuang Zhou nodded.

"Zhuang Zhou was from the Warring States Period, right?" Aisen looked at him with a strange expression.

"Yes, I was indeed born during the Warring States Period!" Zhuang Zhou seemed to understand what Aisen meant.

"The Warring States Period has been more than 2000 years ago. Since you were born during the Warring States Period, and now you appear in front of me, you still say that you have not lived for more than 2000 years -" A strange color flashed in Aisen's eyes.

That's right, the facts are all in front of you, Chang Wei, you still said you don't know martial arts!Ahem——

"Do you still remember how I answered when you asked me when no one can see me?" Zhuang Zhou mentioned this matter again.

"You said 1972!" Eisen reached out and rubbed his chin.

"No!" Zhuang Zhou shook his head.

"Isn't it right?" Aisen frowned, feeling that Zhuang Zhou's words were a bit confusing.

Using both distraction and distraction, he entered part of his consciousness into the dream world and replayed the scene that had happened in the real world before, and immediately discovered a neglected detail.

"You first said the 29th year of King Zhou Nan, and then you said it was wrong, and then you said 1972. Could it be that-" Eisen seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly looked at Zhuang Zhou with wide eyes.

"That's right, in the 29th year of King Zhou Nan, that is, 286 BC, old man, I felt that my cultivation had progressed further. I thought that I was close to attaining enlightenment, but I didn't expect that time and space suddenly changed, and I arrived in 1972!" Zhuang Zhou said , there was also deep doubt in his eyes.

Ah~this——

Eisen suddenly thought of the fact that he had crossed from the parallel world of 1971 into the "mirror space" of the real world, and he suddenly had a guess.

Is it possible that the world shock that occurred when 1971 entered 1972 not only shook Aisen to the mirror space of the main world, but also shook Zhuangzi during the Warring States Period to the current time and space?

No wonder Zhuang Zhou said that he had not lived more than 2000 years. It turned out to be the case!
But then again, after Zhuang Zhou entered this world, no one could see him, and he could not interfere with this world. So what happened?

Could it be that the other party actually died after entering this world and transformed into a special ghost that no one can see?
As his thoughts turned, Aisen explored the other party's situation and found that the other party's body was a normal flesh and blood body, not an illusory ghost body.

Obviously, according to Zhuang Zhou, although he wanders around the world like a ghost, he is actually not a ghost!
But what happens?

"How do you know I can see you?" With his thoughts racing, Aisen looked at the other party suspiciously.

Yes, he had planned to leave before, but was suddenly stopped by the other party.Judging from the tone of his words, he seemed to have known in advance that Aisen could see him.

"For the specific situation, I don't know who can see me. I just calculated that someone will bring me some changes and changes at this place and time!" Zhuang Zhou pointed to the position at his feet.

Unlikely?After hearing Zhuang Zhou's words, Aisen fell into deep thought.

Although Zhang Mingwen once said that people who have the talent of divination and have systematically learned Qimen Dunjia, if they want to measure someone, they will get a very accurate result regardless of whether the other person is a wizard or not.

But now, after nearly ten thousand years of "accumulation", Eisen's strength has reached a level close to that of a god.

In this way, is it still impossible to escape some people's calculations and divination?

After Aisen threw out this doubt, Zhuang Zhou's answer made Aisen a little embarrassed.

Because the other party said that the reason why he was able to measure Aisen was because he came to this time and space, and there seemed to be a certain cause and effect between him and Aisen.

Cough cough, what cause and effect?Eisen thought of the world shock caused by his "laying down" from 1971 to 1972.

Probably, maybe, maybe, that's the reason!

Hey, wait-

If Zhuang Zhou could rely on the so-called causal calculation to reach Aisen, then why did he wait for him at this time and place today instead of waiting for him any day before?
Well--

Travel through time and space!

Yes, although he jumped from 1971 to 1972, causing shock in the world, the time he returned to the real world was October 1995, 10.

In other words, he blocked Zhuang Zhou's calculations in the past?
So, the current time is December 1995, 12, which is the time node calculated by Zhuang Zhou?

"Then, why can I see you? Is it also because of the so-called cause and effect?" Speaking of this, Aisen became confused again.

That's right, if Zhuang Zhou could predict that he would appear here, then he tentatively believed that the other party could really calculate certain things through the so-called cause and effect calculation.

But when it comes to the fact that he can see Zhuang Zhou, it obviously doesn't make sense.

After all, although Eisen can already control reality to a certain extent due to the implantation of the Laplace Demon system, he is still far away from touching cause and effect and manipulating cause and effect.

In this case, how could Aisen see Zhuang Zhou?

It couldn't be that because he combined several extraordinary characteristics, transformed his eyes twice, and developed a so-called simple version of clairvoyance, he could see Zhuang Zhou!

But if not for this reason, then what?Is it because he has a golden finger?

"If I'm not wrong, Aisen, you must be carrying a treasure of heaven and earth." Zhuang Zhou said seriously, but what he said made Aisen feel speechless.

Treasures of heaven and earth?

Come on, how can he have any natural talents or earthly treasures in him!
Moreover, is there such a thing as heavenly material and earthly treasure in this world?
Eisen thought about the specific situation in the British wizarding world, and then thought about all the things he had seen and heard at Zhengyi School during this period. It seemed that there was no such statement.

What?Are you talking about things like thousand-year-old ginseng and ten-thousand-year-old earth heart milk?Please, this world is a magical world, not a fantasy world. How could there be such a thing?

Furthermore, even if this world is a magical world, Eisen has never heard of places where magic power has produced treasures like magic crystal mines.

"I don't have any natural talents or treasures!" Eisen waved his hand directly.

Zhuang Zhou did not refute this, but just looked at him with a smile.

Seeing the other party's posture, Aisen suddenly felt doubtful.Could it be said that he really carries some kind of heavenly and earthly treasure?
Well, just think that he carries the treasures of heaven and earth.

But according to the other party, could it be that only those who carry heavenly materials and earthly treasures can see Zhuang Zhou?But how did the other party know!
This kind of thing is actually quite outrageous.

For example, Aisen suddenly traveled to a different world, and like Zhuang Zhou, he could not be seen by anyone, nor could he influence or interfere with reality.

As a result, in this case, he learned that a person can see him as long as he has "treasures of heaven and earth".

Isn't this off the mark?
Thinking in this way, when Eisen looked at Zhuang Zhou again, he already had a trace of doubt in his heart.

Recalling what the other party said before, Aisen knew that he unconsciously believed the other party's words because of his shock.

But at this moment, with suspicion, I felt that there did seem to be some unexplainable loopholes in what the other party said.

Is it—

The other party is not Zhuang Zhou at all. What he said that no one could see him for more than 20 years is just nonsense?

Well--

It should be possible to use magic to scratch the ground with your fingers without leaving any traces, right?
All kinds of thoughts were rolling in his mind. Aisen looked at the old man with white hair and beard in front of him, and he was already secretly on guard.

"Young man, what's wrong with the treasures of heaven and earth? What are you worried about? Are you worried that I will snatch it away?" Zhuang Zhou seemed to be aware of the change in Aisen's mentality. Zhuang Zhou shook his head as he spoke, seeming to be sighing.

Before Aisen could say anything, a surprising change occurred in front of him.

But after seeing this immortal old man shaking his head and sighing, he disappeared in a flash.At the same time, a butterfly appeared where the figure disappeared, and flew away with its wings flickering.
