Chapter 159: One Light and One Dark
At this time, Li Xuan canceled the fluorescent spell on his wand, and then he had to face the basilisk, and maybe he would encounter the little wizard who was possessed by the remnant soul of Tom Riddle.
If Li Xuan entered with a fluorescent spell, even if his body was invisible now, wouldn't it be a living target without silver three hundred taels here?
The dark passage, but there was still a subtle light penetrating through that did not affect people's vision, and there was silence all around, and Li Xuan could clearly hear his breathing.
Walking forward, you will be greeted by a large, empty room with a huge statue of a figure at the end of the room. That huge face, an old dragon clock, a monkey-like face, a dense long beard.
In the center of the room is a tiled road, with hideous snake head sculptures on the walls on both sides, and between the road and the snake head sculpture is a deep water surface, which should be together with the waterway of the Black Lake above.
For such a dark and damp place, Li Xuan did not like it at all, Li Xuan really found it difficult to understand how Salazar Slytherin would like to stay in such a place and environment.
Li Xuan was suddenly glad that he was assigned to Ravenclaw instead of Slytherin House, otherwise he really couldn't stand this thick Slytherin style.
I still prefer Ravenclaw, which symbolizes the eagle, the blue 380 colors of the sky, and even the bedroom is high.
Of course, Li Xuan, a crosser, a safe Muggle-born little wizard, is basically impossible to be sorted into Slytherin, after all, the Sorting Hat has the consciousness of Salazar Slytherin!
The whole room is very empty, standing at the entrance of Li Xuan, it can be said that the position is unobstructed, the calm water surface to the shadow of the roof of snake sculptures of different shapes.
Salazar Slytherin loves snakes really like to the bone, soul inside!
Looking around, Li Xuan found no sign of anyone, which means that the little wizard who had obtained the diary at the moment did not come in. No one Li Xuan did not need to be so nervous for the time being, Li Xuan came to the Slytherin sculpture, at this time the mouth of the Salazar Slytherin statue was closed, but Li Xuan knew that the basilisk was hidden in the statue.
Since there is no one, Li Xuan can confidently and boldly show his figure, but as far as Li Xuan looks now, no one can recognize it! Li Xuan began to summon the basilisk in his parseltongue cavity, and with Li Xuan's parseltongue words, the mechanism of the Salazar Slytherin statue in front of him also seemed to be triggered, and the originally closed mouth opened.
Looking at the exposed hole, Li Xuan didn't know what Salazar Slytherin thought, other people's mouths are tongues, yours is good, it is also a snake head, but this snake is not another tongue!
And is it cool that a snake comes out of its own mouth? Can you let your juniors worship you?
Li Xuan said that he was not very able to understand Salazar Slytherin's thinking, or that since the beginning of the girls' bathroom, Li Xuan has been disgusting and complaining about Salazar's Slytherin's preferences.
"Click"
It's just that when the mechanism has been opened for a long time, and several minutes have passed, Li Xuan did not see the basilisk crawling out of the hole Li Xuan was a little unbeliever, and once again used the parseltongue to summon the basilisk, but still did not get any response, and only Li Xuan's voice echoed in the entire secret room.
After trying once or twice, Li Xuan simply walked in by himself, and after entering, there was a deep dark circular passage, and after going up more than ten meters, there was a circular space.
If nothing else, this should be the part of the statue's head, which is where the basilisk usually sleeps, and Li Xuan even found a switch here that can control the switch at the entrance and exit of the statue.
It seems that in addition to the parseltongue cavity, the basilisk itself can also enter and exit here at will. Li Xuan once again used fluorescent flashing, checked the basilisk's den, and found that there was nothing except for some strange-shaped pits on the wall that were made by the basilisk, and the entire space was at a glance.
The air here didn't smell very good, and Li Xuan checked it out and left.
Since the basilisk is not there, Li Xuan will naturally not leave immediately, it is rare to enter the secret room, of course, Li Xuan has to search well.
Li Xuan did not believe that Salazar Slytherin had spent a lot of effort to build such a large secret room in order to hide a basilisk so that the basilisk could listen to the words of the parseltongue wizard to kill the Muggle-born wizard.
If you really just build a snake's den, there is no need to dig so deep, and it is so complex and wide.
Even Li Xuan felt that this basilisk was not actually what Salazar Slytherin said to eliminate those who were not suitable for learning magic in order to achieve his noble ideals.
Li Xuan felt that the basilisk should actually be the guard of the secret room, guarding the secret room to prevent other wizards from entering at will, and in such a winding pipe, most wizards would fall under the death pupil of the basilisk with hatred.
And in his later years, Salazar Slytherin had a conceptual disagreement with the other three founders of Hogwarts, so he created such a Chamber of Secrets to hide something that he didn't want and couldn't let Gryffindor know here.
To be honest, Li Xuan had always felt that the statement that Salazar Slytherin built the Chamber of Secrets was to clear that students who were not worthy of studying magic was a bit nonsense.
Or it should be a smoke bomb, the smoke bomb released by Salazar Slytherin is to cover up his true purpose in building the Chamber of Secrets.
Salazar Slytherin was willing to set up Hogwarts with Gryffindor to shelter the little wizards, and was willing to provide them with a place to study, then naturally there would be no other thoughts about these little wizards.
Even if there were, it would be enough to have his pure-blood Slytherin house, why make a Chamber of Secrets to clear it?
And the opening requirements of this secret room are still so strict, it must be his successor, if he really wants only pure-blood wizards in the wizarding world like Voldemort in his old age.
Then the basilisk should not appear once in such a long time, but once a year or two to ensure that the wizard of Muggle blood is eliminated.
Of course, the consequence of this is that the basilisk will be killed after not coming out a few times, don't think that the professors and headmasters of Hogwarts are stupid, even if the basilisk uses the pupil of death, but it does not mean that it is invincible.
Therefore, Li Xuan has always felt that the secret room of Salazar Slytherin is not so simple, and now the secret room that Li Xuan sees is only superficial, and Li Xuan believes that there should be a secret room in this secret room.
