The Periodic Table of Words at Hogwarts

"Shen Meng! It's time to get up!"

In the darkness at two o'clock in the morning, Xu Lin, already fully dressed, slapped her daughter's door.

"I woke up early"!

With a hurried opening of the door, Shen Meng, who had already dressed, carried a huge piano bag and walked effortlessly to the living room.

"I didn't comb my hair again"!

Xu Lin pushed her daughter on the stool, picked up the comb and leather sheath on the coffee table and tied her hair.

"So why can't we fly directly to London, but we have to fly from Peking to Lushun and then to London? I obviously want to sleep more"...

Shen Meng complained in a low voice.

"Go pick up your brother"!

Xu Lin tapped the top of her daughter's head with her knuckles.

"Ah? My brother is going too"?

Shen Mengru Mengfang woke up and let out an exclamation.

"And I don't know if this competition is due to face issues or something else. The organizer requires each school to use its own magic vehicle. Otherwise, we can charter a plane to send you to London directly."

Xu Lin tied her daughter into a beautiful ponytail, then nodded with satisfaction, turned around and picked up her daughter's guzheng bag.

"Bring the rosin and apply it again before you leave."

"Ah, okay".

Open the zipper of the nylon bag, and the emerald green guzheng reveals its figure under the warm fluorescent lamp.

"Huh? Where did this thing come from?"

Xu Lin looked at the gorgeous guzheng in front of her in surprise, and rubbed her eyes in surprise.

My daughter obviously used an iron kite, but why has her appearance completely changed now?

"Grandpa Zou Shu and Mr. Lin specially made it for me. They said that the original iron kite would always remind others of the Western Poison in Mr. Jin Yong's novels. It is not good for girls to leave such an impression on others, so Mr. Zou made it Customized one for me."

Shen Meng said very proudly.

"Isn't it expensive?"

Xu Lin's eyelids twitched as she looked at the decorative gold lines on the upper edge of the guzheng.

"Mom, don't you know? Because I saved Teacher Liang's life last time, and because I got first place in the school's final exam this time, I am qualified to customize alchemy items."

Shen Meng hugged her mother very proudly.

"Ah, my daughter is really amazing."

Xu Lin's fingers gently touched the body of the piano and touched a small mechanism on the side of the jade zheng.

"Mom, because of the few log furniture in this small villa and the color TV you just bought for the New Year, I suggest you not to press it."

Seeing that her mother had discovered Gu Zheng's little secret, Shen Meng quickly warned her.

"Are you now more than just a magician standing in the back row?"

Xu Lin gently knocked on the shell of the piano. She was sure that there must be a very deadly mechanism inside, and it was probably the craftsmanship of the Tang family in Sichuan.

"A song of lovesickness enters the zither, and I don't know who I'm waiting for after a thousand years."

Shen Meng smiled slightly, and then stuffed the rosin-coated piano back into the piano bag.

"Grandpa Lin said that the name of this piano is Qin Zhengtan. It is an alchemy product that he has always wanted to make with Mr. Zou, and it is said that the design comes from the relics of the Shenzhou Empire."

"The edge is hidden under the piano, the attack is silent when attacking, and the code is as solid as a rock. And I heard from the old man that this alchemy guzheng refers to some of the designs of Zhang Qi's Blood Embrace."

"Oh? But this piano is too dangerous. Do you really plan to take it to the competition?"

Xu Lin raised her eyebrows. She felt that it would be better for her son to handle this kind of thing.

The girls of the Xu family have been forced to shoulder heavy responsibilities for thousands of years, and it's time to put their children out of misery.

Gu Xiu</span> "I think my piano looks so round and kind compared to what my brother and sister Mu use."

Shen Meng curled her lips and said.

"That's true, quenching poison on a weapon is indeed not a glorious act, but the person who was poisoned to death will most likely not raise any objections."

Xu Lin shrugged her shoulders and helped her daughter adjust her collar for the last time.

"Then, kid, it's time to set off. First get on the plane to Lushun with your classmates. After picking up your brother, we'll set off together."

"But why can't my brother fly to Peking, and then we can fly together?"

Shen Meng rubbed her eyes sleepily, and then asked.

"There is no port in Peiping where we can dock such a large alchemy vehicle."

Xu Lin patted her daughter's back, and then picked up the slightly heavy guzheng for her.

………………

"Hello, Aunt Xu"!

In the slightly deserted departure hall, a black-haired girl who was packing her luggage warmly greeted the two people who had just arrived.

"Good evening, Mu Yatou, I've heard that you are also participating."

Xu Lin walked over and gave the girl a hug.

"Ah, I feel very excited just thinking about it. We finally have a chance to fight with people properly."

Mu Qianhong said very excitedly.

"It's not a fight, it's a competition. Have you brought the antidote? I don't want to see the poor student opposite you being injured by you and lying on the hospital bed groaning in pain, and then rotting into a puddle of thick water within three days. "...

"Don't worry, Auntie, we all have a sense of propriety"!

The black-haired girl said with a smile.

"And keep an eye on the boxes you keep worms in. We have to sit in a closed alchemy vehicle for a full half day. I don't want those blue scorpions running around!"

"Don't worry, the box has been taped. What happened on the train last time will never happen again."

Mu Yatou stuck out her tongue.

"Students, this is our first friendly exchange with the Western magic world. You must have rehearsed it countless times, but I still want to emphasize that this competition has only one purpose"!

After seeing that all the students had arrived, Xu Lin nodded with great satisfaction and began her last speech before getting on the plane.

"Defeat everyone who dares to stand in our way"!

The neat-looking students below, uniformly dressed in black casual clothes, and showing an iron-blooded temperament in every move, shouted together.

"Fuck you!"

The bespectacled students from Peking Academic School, Southwest Gushu School and Kunlun shouted together.

"You're very energetic, let's get on the plane"!

The aircraft's engine sprayed out heat waves due to the burning of aviation kerosene, and powerful thrust acted on the wings. The air pressure difference between the upper and lower parts caused it to fly high into the sky.

This is China's first match, but everyone will see it as a battle.

…………

"We really want to ride this thing to compete"?

Shen Jian stood on the port, looking at the more than 100-meter-long ship in front of him with a streamlined hull and an outer box covered with rubber silencer tiles. After a long time, he slowly controlled his completely stiff jaw and spoke. .

"It's you who wants to sit on this thing, not me, and I hate these disgusting things hidden underwater. It's not a comfortable experience to eat hot pot and sing songs on the ocean, and then suddenly be penetrated by a torpedo." .

The pink-haired Beiping showed a cold expression next to him, as if he really hated this kind of ship.
