"Professor, what are you going to say?" Ning Yuan asked in confusion if he couldn't keep up with the two of them.

Dumbledore was the one who solved Ning Yuan's doubts. He looked at the lake and said meaningfully: "Maybe there were a lot of Yin corpses before Voldemort discovered this cave, and Voldemort just borrowed some Yin corpses to protect the Horcrux for himself!"

Ning Yuan shook his head and refuted Dumbledore's words, "Professor, it's impossible. If there were always corpses here, then how could Voldemort enter and exit safely before going to school, and bring those children who were intimidated by him."

Snape said, "This is exactly what we are puzzled about, but many of these Yin corpses were from a long time ago, which cannot be argued. I just thought that there seemed to be many wizard robes worn by Yin corpses that were not as they were today, and they looked a bit like hundreds of years ago. However, the wizard robes have always been similar, so I didn't notice them at the beginning.

Ning Yuan was stunned. The Yin corpse that had existed for hundreds of years? This is unlikely. Yin corpse is similar to zombies. Neither is perpetual motion machine. Even with the support of magic, it is impossible that it will not be decayed for hundreds of years! Ning Yuan put forward his own point of view.

"So, it is very likely that these Yin corpses were preserved somewhere in the cave by magic at the beginning, and they did not see the light of day again until Voldemort discovered it. It may be that there is something wrong with the lake! More than ten years have passed, and even if ordinary Yin corpses are supported by magic, they will be a little rotten, but we have seen it just now, Little Black is like he just died!" Dumbledore expressed his opinion.

Snape nodded, "Maybe!" As he said that, he took out a few bottles, floated with his wand to fill a few bottles of water in the lake, and then searched for some human tissue that had been lucky enough to be burned in the residue of the corpse just now. "I will check it carefully when I go back, so will we continue next, Dumbledore?"

"No matter what, Voldemort's affairs are the most important now. Let's take a look at the place where Voldemort collects the Horcruxes first, and let's talk about the problem of Yin corpse later." Dumbledore said after thinking for a moment.

Although Ning Yuan felt a little worried because the plot was unfolding unexpectedly, he was not easy to leave alone, so he could only find a small boat to the island in the middle of the lake with Dumbledore.

The boat was very small, and the three of them almost squeezed together. After getting on the boat, the boat set off immediately, and there was silence all over the place, with only the soft rustling sound from the bow of the boat penetrated through the water. The boat was moving automatically, without them doing anything, and it seemed that an invisible rope pulled it towards the green light in the middle of the lake. Soon, the rock wall of the cave was invisible, and they felt like they were on the sea, but there were no waves around.

As the boat moved, the light of the magic wand was reflected on the black water surface, flashing with golden light. The boat cut deep ripples on the glass-like lake surface, like grooves on the black mirror...

A few minutes later, the only green light in the cave seemed to finally get bigger and brighter, and the boat gently hit something and stopped on a smooth rocky island.

The island is not big, similar to Dumbledore's office, covered with large flat black stone slabs, empty on it, with only the source of light that emitted the green light.

It was a stone basin connected to the base, half a person tall, just as far as the waists of the three of them. The stone basin was filled with a pot of emerald green liquid, emitting a sparkling phosphorescence.

"This atmosphere is so suitable for making horror movies!" Ning Yuan complained after rubbing his arms full of goose bumps.

Dumbledore and Snape were attracted by the pot of something.

One was because of his importance to Voldemort, and the other was because this was his favorite potion. After seeing the two of them gathered together to check the pot of things, they had nothing to do for a while, Ning Yuan could only wander around this small island aimlessly.

No matter how the two discussed the potions or other things, Ning Yuan walked around the island, and suddenly something special caught his attention.

It was a withered branch, stuck in the gap between two black stone slabs, and the light here was not sufficient, so I didn't find it at the beginning.

The branches looked very ordinary, and the branches with a few leaves were raised withered and yellow, looking like the common branches outside. However, when Ning Yuan saw the branches, an inexplicable impulse surged in his heart.

When he came to his senses, he realized that he had picked up the branch.

Ning Yuan was so scared that he almost threw this thing out. Who knew what curse was there? In the novel, Dumbledore was cursed when he took the resurrection stone ring, and finally he could only rely on Snape's potion to support it for a year. If there was a curse in this thing, then he would be in trouble.

However, this kind of thought was just a moment of stress reaction. When he calmed down, he felt in his heart that he should not throw this thing away, and that it would not hurt himself.

But no matter what, just by being able to influence himself, Ning Yuan felt very uncomfortable. The two conflicting feelings in his heart conflicted with each other. In the end, Ning Yuan could only suppress the complicated thoughts in his heart, put the branches directly into his personal space, and planned to check them with the heart of truth after returning.

"What's wrong, Ning?" Dumbledore, who was checking the pot of magic potion with Snape, looked up at Ning Yuan who was stunned and frowned and thoughtful.

"Nothing!" Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment, trying to talk about the branches just now, but he couldn't say anything at the end of his mouth. He could only fool him casually, walked to the two of them and asked, "How is this thing checking?"

"This is not a potion, I can be sure." Snape concluded.

Although Ning Yuan was a little strange, the other party was a potion master, and his words were still believable.

"If possible, take the stone basin away directly. I need to study it carefully." Finally, Snape looked at the two of them and said, his tone was very fanatical, which seemed to be a bit like Frankenstein encountered the best experimental materials.

Dumbledore checked with his wand for a moment, "There is defensive magic, like these things, stone basins and stone platforms are forbidden to transform and cannot be transferred, and it seems that it takes a lot of effort!"

"I'll try it!" Ning Yuan said, taking out a huge chainsaw from his personal space. When he pressed the switch, the chainsaw with ferocious iron teeth began to rotate, and a harsh buzzing sound came from the dead cave.

As the iron teeth contacted the stone platform, the chainsaw that could even be easily cut into stone rubbed countless Mars with Ning Yuan's force, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only leave a shallow trace.

Until the entire chainsaw was scrapped, he could only leave an inconspicuous scratch on the stone platform.

In the end, Ning Yuan and Snape had no choice but to wait for Dumbledore to find a way to solve the magic defense above.

"It seems that Voldemort had spent a lot of energy to put such a trap!" Thinking back on the content of the novel, Ning Yuan understood a little why Dumbledore didn't take the stone basin away directly like in the fan novel, but drank it like a treacherous man.

In addition to being cursed by himself, his life for a year has almost reached its end, which is just for layout, it may also be very laborious to unlock the magic, and he is worried that it will be noticed by Voldemort after a long time.

Sure enough, even Dumbledore's magical attainments ended up taking almost several hours to completely solve the problem.

When the three of them returned to the shore with the broken stone basin, it was already midnight. Because they were contacted by the house elves every time, Lupin was not in too much hurry. Now a fire had risen, and he was sitting in front of the fire with Sirius, who was still stunned.

After a day of busy work, the few people hurriedly packed up their things and left here directly.

After returning to Hogsmeade Village, Dumbledore and Snape returned to Hogwarts with stone basins. Lupin and Sirius asked for two rooms at Pighead Bar, intending to stay here temporarily.

Ning Yuan took his own house elf Sasha back home, took a comfortable hot shower, lay on the soft big bed, and began to recall the strange experience today, the extra antique corpses Dumbledores Napp mentioned, and the strange branches he found.

At the same time, on the dark coast, the sound of waves continued. In the dark cave, the darkness of the light source was completely lost, a pair of golden eyes suddenly opened, and on the platform where the stone basin was removed, only stone pillars were left, strands of golden light were sprinkled, flashing like summer fireflies...
