The construction of the gym was much simpler.
The glove lady also revealed an important piece of information, that is, the Room of Requirement is more like a huge Rubik's Cube, but this magic has many levels.
It is a bit similar to the killing array of another dimension. Each space is a room. When the Room of Requirement changes into a place because of a person's mind, this place will not disappear.
Instead, it will be recorded, and when there is a similar need next time, it will be directly transferred there.
For example, the place to hide things - this huge storage room has never changed, but has always existed.
Zhang Xiao arranged the equipment in different categories. Taoism has a way to strengthen the body. After such a long time of exploration, it has become a very mature system.
I practiced it many times when I was in Longhu Mountain, and I was already familiar with it.
Before, Zhang Xiao thought that Taoism would adopt some ancient training methods, but it turned out to be wrong. Taoism is very open-minded and keeps pace with the times.
According to my father's words: "These equipments are very useful. Why not use useful equipment?"
Yes, why not use useful equipment?
In addition to these equipment, the most important thing is to have a particularly good bathroom. If there is no bathroom, then this gym will be soulless.
The Room of Requirement faithfully implemented Zhang Xiao's idea.
Accompanied by the rumbling sound and distortion around.
An exquisite wooden door appeared on the side of the wall of the gym.
The gilded door handle was dazzling. Zhang Xiao pushed the door open, and inside was a large bathtub that could be used as a swimming pool.
The mermaids standing by the bathtub holding pottery jars suddenly moved together. They tilted the pottery jars, and large streams of clear hot water poured out of the jars.
Filled the entire bathtub at a very fast speed.
Then, a mermaid statue lowered its body and made a diving gesture.
She swung her fish tail flexibly and jumped into the water in a posture comparable to that of a diving athlete.
Zhang Xiao thought he would see a perfect entry into the water - no splashing or anything.
But in fact, this mermaid was like falling directly to the ground from a high place, and it broke into a lot of foam with a "pop".
Zhang Xiao: Wow, the little mermaid has turned into foam, right!
The whole bathroom is similar to the bathroom of the class leader, but more luxurious and more exquisite.
Looking at this beautiful bathroom, Zhang Xiao resisted the urge to take a bath and turned to leave the room.
Zhang Xiao hooked his legs on the horizontal bar, and the whole person was hanging upside down in a weird posture, with his upper body naked.
The 14-year-old boy already had a faint outline of muscles on his body. Although he was still a little thin, his metabolism at this age was enough to quickly digest everything that might be converted into fat.
He exerted force on his abdomen, and his upper body slowly bent up. A small pool of sweat on the ground indicated that the exercise had lasted for a while.
After calculating that this was the last set, Zhang Xiao turned over quickly and jumped down, landing steadily.
After the exercise, he could finally take a good bath!
After burying his whole body completely in the water, Zhang Xiao held his breath, although it was impossible to hold his breath in the water for several days and nights.
But with the inner breath of Taoism, it is no problem to hold it for half an hour without moving. Even ordinary people can hold it for seven or eight minutes after professional training.
The world record is an astonishing 24 minutes.
The underwater world is completely different from the air. The surroundings become quiet and distant. This bathing pool really has the function of a swimming pool.
The deepest part of the whole bathing pool is 2.2 meters, and the shallowest part is only up to the thigh.
Zhang Xiao moved the water flow and swam lightly to the deepest part.
After standing still, he began to slowly perform a set of Longhushan's entry-level boxing.
Unlike on flat ground, in addition to the resistance of water, the changes in water flow caused by the movement will also affect the force of other movements.
Once moving, the oxygen consumption suddenly increased, the heartbeat began to accelerate, and the diaphragm felt faintly twitching.
Try to ignore the strange feeling, keep the mind clear, and put all your mind on the movement.
Carefully perceive every change in the water flow, and strive to make your movements follow the direction of the water flow.
Punch and kick, time slowly passed, and at the end, Zhang Xiao's body surface burst into golden light like a blazing flame.
The slow motion in the front was like accumulating power, and the body was like a spring that was stretched to the extreme, motionless as a mountain, and moving like thunder!
One foot forward, waist and horse united, twisting hips and punching!
With a loud 'bang', it seemed that a powerful double kick was thrown under the bathtub.
A high splash of water exploded.
Zhang Xiao felt that he could no longer hold it in, and his feet suddenly jumped out of the water, breathing in big gulps of air.
His heart beat like a small drum, and there was a strange long sound in his ears. He felt that everything in front of him was blurred and he couldn't see anything clearly.
It took a long time to recover.
Slowly walked to the shallowest place, lying on his back in the water, the Taoist practice of both sex and life, the body is indeed much stronger than that of ordinary people.
But in essence, they are still mortals. With the full support of the Golden Light Mantra, they can do some superhuman actions, but that is a full-strength burst.
In general, the Golden Light Mantra is more about mobilizing physical strength and strengthening bones and muscles. With the help of the Golden Light Mantra, Taoists can ensure that they can fully exert their physical strength within a certain period of time.
Therefore, the stronger the body, the stronger the Golden Light Mantra.
Zhang Xiao pinched his arm.
Well - it’s far from enough, we need to strengthen it!
"Quiet!"
The large stone auditorium was filled with noisy whispers. The Wizengamot wizards wearing red robes and silver 'w' badges were talking enthusiastically, completely ignoring Fudge's livid face.
Dumbledore sat at the front, staring at Fudge through his half-moon lenses. He did not solicit votes or promote his views again.
Just like when everyone was puzzled and shocked, he suddenly used his authority - President of the International Federation of Wizards and Chief of the Wizengamot to impeach the British Minister of Magic - Cornelius Fudge.
The reason is that with the rapid development of the wizarding world, Fudge is not able to lead the wizarding world well to move forward.
What? Does Fudge not represent the wizarding world?
No, no, no, in the eyes of British wizards, the British Ministry of Magic is the weather vane of the entire wizarding world, except of course the East.
"quiet!"
The sound, amplified by the spell, echoed throughout the auditorium, and the whispers ceased.
Presiding over the impeachment was Ms. Susan Bones, Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
She said majestically: "If you support impeachment, please raise your hands."
Dumbledore raised his hand neatly under Fudge's almost flaming eyes.
Fudge's face turned pale and red. He pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything. He could only stare at Dumbledore and the other wizards who raised their hands.
Some wizards followed Dumbledore without hesitation and raised their hands. Their idea was simple, they would do whatever Dumbledore said.
As the talisman of the wizarding world, Dumbledore is more than just a mascot, his reputation is earned.
Defeated two generations of Dark Lords!
Who else? ?
Hands were raised one after another, many in number, before Dumbledore was completely smeared by the Ministry of Magic because of Voldemort's return.
His influence is so terrifying!
Fudge's breathing quickened and he wanted to count, but before he could finish, Ms. Bones said: "Anyone who opposes impeachment, please raise your hands."
Another arm was raised.
Susan Bones looked at it and knocked the hammer sharply:
“The number of people who agreed was less than two-thirds of the total, so the impeachment was not passed!”
Fudge felt that his body couldn't help but tremble, as if he had lost his strength and could only lean on his seat.
He held the armrest firmly to prevent himself from showing any signs of losing his composure, and he was more afraid.
If it were a normal vote, Dumbledore would have won by a show of hands just after the halfway mark.
Fortunately, this is impeachment, and fortunately more than two-thirds of the people are required to agree.
Dumbledore seemed not surprised by this result. It was not so simple to suddenly impeach a Minister of Magic.
Especially since the Minister of Magic has never made any serious mistakes in public.
More importantly, Fudge has become a spokesman for certain interest groups.
In this case, it is almost certain that impeachment will not pass.
But Dumbledore did it anyway, as he said, giving Fudge a small warning was better than nothing.
He came to Fudge with brisk steps and lowered his head to look down at the Minister of Magic who was very sincere and down-to-earth when he took office.
Said softly:
"Connelly, it's not too late to turn back now."
Fudge gritted his teeth, his round face flushed red with anger. He stared at Dumbledore and whispered a few words through his teeth:
"Dumbledore - you old madman! Do you know what you are doing?
You are destroying the results of the Ministry of Magic's efforts, you are destroying the hard-won stability and peace! "
If the little wizards were here, they would be surprised that the principal has such an aggressive side.
He didn't leave any face to Fudge, and chuckled with a strong sense of irony:
"The result of the Ministry of Magic's efforts? In fact, the period when people evaluated you best was the year you first took office.
Because that year, the Ministry of Magic did nothing. "
Fudge's expression suddenly became extremely exciting, as if he had opened a dyeing room.
What words hurt the most?
That's the truth.
Fudge was almost collapsed by Dumbledore's words. He clenched his fists, gasped for air, and rushed out of the stone church without looking back.
Watching Fudge's back disappear, Dumbledore once again restrained his aggressive side and became the old man as deep as the ocean.
He smiled and accepted the greetings and greetings from other wizards.
Then Cornelius Fudge's next move should be to find ways to remove my duties and help me free myself from red tape and endless meetings.
Give me more time to explore the clues left by Tom.
If I resign myself, Fudge will definitely not be able to help but think that I have some 'conspiracy'.
You can also confuse Tom by the way.
Um.
Dumbledore didn't know what was going on, but suddenly thought of Zhang Xiao.
If Zhang were here, he would definitely analyze my intentions calmly, and maybe he would say something weird like the principal has won many times, right?
Thinking of this proud student, Dumbledore smiled from the bottom of his heart.
The future belongs to these children, and what I, an old man, have to do is to help them.
Sweep away - clear - obstacles!
Fudge, don't let me down!
"Deng Bu Li Duo! You old madman!"
Fudge pulled off the tie around his neck and threw it to the ground, as if he was madly cursing in the office.
To this day, he is still trembling. Fudge never thought that Dumbledore would actually initiate impeachment without hesitation.
It was almost successful. Such a short time was not enough to contact and lobby everyone. This was also the first time that Fudge truly realized Dumbledore's terrifying influence.
Just a little bit, just a little bit!
When he was about to be kicked out of the position of Minister of Magic, Fudge discovered that he loved this position so passionately in his heart.
He couldn't bear it, and he didn't allow anyone to spy on his position.
"No, this won't work, Connelly, you have to hurry up and think of a way -"
Fudge murmured to himself, sitting back on his large and comfortable seat.
Unconsciously, he took out the red currant rum and poured himself a full glass.
"Yes, I have to act and I have to defend my rights."
Fudge stared at his cup and finally made up his mind. He took out a strange-looking alchemy tool and whispered a few words to it.
Not long after, a gloomy and low voice sounded inside:
"Of course, of course there is no problem. As you wish, my minister, as your loyal supporter, we will support you as always."
Fudge picked up the cup again, stared with red eyes, and finally showed a gloomy smile.
the next day
The dining hall at Hogwarts is as busy as ever.
Although the principal's seat was still vacant, the little wizard was already used to it.
Principal Dumbledore wears many hats, so it’s normal to be busy!
"Look!"
I don't know who shouted, and all the students in the auditorium looked up and saw a surprising scene.
It was like it was raining owls in the sky, and owls of different colors and sizes rushed in through the open window.
They screamed and rushed towards their respective goals, leaving behind letters or newspapers.
Almost all the little wizards had a premonition that something big was going on.
Because only for very big things, the Daily Prophet will use this method to distribute newspapers to all customers who have subscribed to the newspaper.
to entice those customers to renew.
Even Brother Yan, who vowed never to subscribe to the Daily Prophet again, received one.
Soon there were screams of surprise echoing in the auditorium.
Zhang Xiao opened the newspaper and saw a huge photo of Fudge and Dumbledore on the front page of the Daily Prophet:
"Albus Dumbledore impeaches the Minister of Magic: Cornelius Fudge"!

The Connelly here is a bit darker than the original Connelly, and Dumbledore is also more radical. It has been foreshadowed for so long, so it should not be considered OOC.
In short, I tried my best to provide a reasonable foundation for the development of the story, and also tried to make the characters in the book richer.
I personally think that Fudge is a bit like Johnson, in that he is also a commander-in-chief who leads the British.
The operation is surprisingly consistent.
I beg you, those who support me with books, please open the auto button. It’s really too much for me to take such a small trip. I fell too hard.
