Overturning Hogwarts

Chapter 12 Trapped on the Platform

Xiao Liuren, also known as Kongming Liuyao Star, is said to have been invented by Zhuge Liang and used to predict good and bad luck.

To put it simply, there are six kinds of hexagrams (Liu Ren), which correspond to the nameless three fingers in the food, either on the left or right hand, or even without fingers.

When you want to predict good or bad luck, you generally need to find out the current month, day, and hour. Of course, if it is the lunar calendar and the hour like Zichou Yinmao, then you will get three numbers. Then start from the month number, and press Liuren's Count in sequence, then use the number of days and hours, and finally stop at which Ren, and then analyze the corresponding formula to draw a conclusion.

Three Rens are good and three Rens are unfavorable. The specific situations are different, so I won’t go into details one by one.

……

"Can this calculation be accurate?" Zhang Rui pinched his fingers awkwardly and asked unconvinced, "If everyone uses this method at the same time, wouldn't the calculated results be the same?"

The old Taoist priest nodded and shook his head: "Yes, but no."

"..." Zhang Rui was speechless. The old Taoist priest was trying to hide himself. Not speaking human language was also a compulsory course for the Taoist priest.

But I won’t ask you what you mean!

"Yes, it means that the hexagrams (Ren) obtained at the same time must be the same. No, it means that it is impossible for everyone to calculate at the same time. Even if there are some, the questions and requests will be different?" Zhang Rui pondered for a while. , guessed.

Fortune-telling or divination all rely on telepathy, just like you often see someone and make a calculation on a whim... The most accurate conclusion is drawn at this time, rather than calculating every other hour.

Even if people calculate the time at the same time, some ask about marriage, financial resources, illness, travel and return date...the conclusions are naturally different.

"Yes, you have understanding." The old Taoist priest stroked his beard, nodded with satisfaction, and asked, "What if several people find you at the same time, and what they ask and want are the same?"

Hold it, this is too regressive, are you sure these people are not here to cause trouble?

Zhang Rui couldn't help but think about the fact that he was a middle-aged man who was down and out, dressed in a shabby Taoist robe, and set up a divination stall to help people solve their problems (cheating money). Suddenly three or five big men appeared together, all wanting to calculate their marriage. Calculate it yourself, your marriages are all together, right in the club over there. I went to experience it last night, and the technology is pretty good...

Although it makes sense in theory, he will definitely get beaten.

But since the old Taoist priest asked this, there must be a solution.

"Hmm..." Zhang Ruiling's eyes rolled a few times, "A poor Taoist is only considered a person with good fortune (money)?"

Only whoever gives more money will be counted.

"..." The old Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, then looked up and down at Zhang Rui with strange eyes, and after a long time he said, "You are really suitable for our profession!"

Then he started to tell Zhang Rui about alternatives. Naturally, he was not a clever person like him. Instead, he asked people to randomly say three numbers, or even draw three playing cards. Anyway, there must be three numbers.

And various corresponding formulas were handed down, which required Zhang Rui to memorize them one by one, and then analyze the formulas and use them skillfully according to different situations.

……

1991, on the morning of September 9st.

London, England, King's Cross Station.

Zhang Rui stood here alone, looking at the third pillar between the ninth platform and the tenth platform from a distance (if the plot requires it, let's assume there are four large stone pillars).

"Success or failure depends on this."

No matter how much preparation work has been done before, no matter how much hope you have, you must take this first step.

After saying that, Zhang Rui took a deep breath, grabbed the suitcase and rushed forward.

When he came to the pillar, he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes before bumping into it.

"Boom!"

"Alas!"

Zhang Rui hit the pillar. Not only did he not pass through, he was bounced back and sat on the ground.

"Ah, hiss~ It hurts!"

Zhang Rui rubbed his forehead and looked at the pillar in front of him, wondering, does this pillar also have an automatic recognition function, so people without an invitation to Hogwarts cannot enter?

Could it be that my long-term plans and actions are actually blocked by this pillar?

Zhang Rui stood up unwillingly and bumped against the pillar again, but instead of using his head, he turned sideways and used his shoulders to clear the way.

"Duang!"

Zhang Rui was bounced away again.

Isn't it this side?

"Duang~"

"Duang~"

"Duang~"

I hit the pillar on all sides, but it was still outside.

"Ah~ah~ah~why?"

Zhang Rui wanted to shout, but was afraid of attracting the attention of other ordinary passengers.

He simply leaned his back against the pillar and planned to block the entrance with his body - either he would knock himself in, or no one would be able to get in!

Of course, this is pique.

Zhang Rui quickly analyzed the reason in his mind. This platform must not have such high intelligence to recognize invitations.

I had the impression that there would also be family members of the little wizard coming to see him off, and it was impossible for those family members to all have invitations.

Is it open on time? It’s not time yet?

Because Zhang Rui didn't know the specific time of the train, he came here before dawn. He bought an ordinary train ticket at the window and sneaked in. He observed it for a while. It was only early seven o'clock now.

Just wait and see. Zhang Rui sat on the suitcase, pretending to be sleeping with his eyes closed, waiting for the little wizard to "wake him up", and then find a way to sneak in with them.

He waited for more than half an hour, and no one came to call him.

Zhang Rui panicked, today is September 9st! Moreover, my watch was set to London time. What went wrong?

King's Cross Station, platform nine and three-quarters, is the third pillar between platform nine and platform ten!

Eh? Wait, can you tell me?

Zhang Rui turned around, faced the pillar, and walked backwards until the signs for platform nine and platform ten appeared in front of him.

Platform 10 is on the left and platform 9 is on the right. I count from left to right according to my habit...

Damn it, I hit the wrong pillar after doing this for a long time!

Zhang Ruishui blushed. Fortunately, no one else saw his stupid look. He simply went back to the wrong pillar and secretly observed the real platform nine and three-quarters, hoping to see which wall the other little wizards entered from. of.

Although there is a high probability that it is the external side, but what if?

"What's going on?" Zhang Rui rubbed his eyes and couldn't believe the result - he had been staring there for half an hour, but why didn't he see a little wizard passing through the wall?

If you are guarding a pillar and staring at a pillar, how could you miss it?

Could it be that because of his last actions on the street at the Leaky Cauldron, the wizarding world changed the pick-up location?

It shouldn't be, she just chatted with the little wizard for a while, there was no way she would find out that she was an ordinary person.

As for the thieves who got the "biting book", they only heard their own voices and never saw themselves (Li Cheng was asked to contact the locals), and they didn't know what they said to the little girl. Even if they were magically Even if the people from the Ministry find and erase the memory, they can't find themselves!

So what is going on in this situation right now?
