Chapter 263 Huaxia Taoist Association
Walking through the spacious courtyard, the crowd, led by Wang Shouyi, came to the main hall of the Taoist temple.
But rather than a Taoist temple, Charlie felt that it was more like a large retro-decorated office space.
Because except for the three pure gold statues of Sanqing placed in the innermost part of the hall, the entire spacious hall is almost occupied by desks made of mahogany.
The owners of these desks are a group of association staff wearing uniform robes, and there is a long queue behind each mahogany desk, as if they are handling some business.
These business people are obviously Taoist priests with mana, but not all of them wear Taoist robes, and many of them wear shirts and trousers or short-sleeved trousers, which are no different from ordinary Chinese people outside at this time.
"This way!"
After arriving at the main hall, Wang Shouyi did not stop, but continued to lead the crowd forward until he walked through the main hall for a while, before stopping at a door with a signboard "Entry Registration Office for Foreign Wizards".
"This is the registration office. After you enter, you can queue up and register. After the registration is over, you can come to the main hall to find me, and I will send you away!"
Arthur raised his hat to express his gratitude, and led everyone to push the door and walk in.
Compared to the busyness of the main hall, the room used to register the entry of foreign wizards seemed much more relaxed. Except for a young Taoist nun in her early 20s who was dozing off, there was no one else in it.
However, Charlie is not surprised by this. He also spent some time before coming here, collecting some information about the current situation of the wizarding world (practice world) in Huaguo from various aspects.
In the wizarding world (practice world) of Huaguo, due to a large number of downsizing in the war before the founding of the country, the number of wizards (Taoists) has declined sharply, and many sects have only one or two single seedlings left to support them.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, the wizarding world (practice world) of Huaguo has banned foreign wizards from entering for quite a long time.
Later, the Muggle government launched a birth-encouraging policy, and the population of the Muggle world in China began to increase significantly. Following this, the number of children with wizard blood (discipline qualifications) also began to increase sharply, and they were gradually released.
But even so, so far, it is not so easy for foreign wizards to travel to China. They must have a safety certificate issued by the local Ministry of Magic before they can enter.
This also led to the foreign wizard entry registration office of the Huaxia Taoist Association, which basically only received one or two foreign wizards to register in a few days.
……
"Squeak!"
The sound of the wooden door opening instantly frightened the little Taoist nun who was like a nodding chicken,
After seeing clearly that it was a group of blond-haired and blue-eyed foreign friends, he immediately rubbed his eyes, wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth, puffed out his chest, and entered the working state.
"Please line up and come to register in order!"
The registration process is very simple. It only took 17 minutes to complete all 10 people and one cat.
But after the registration, the little nun who was in charge of the registration told Arthur and the others three rules that must be followed with a very serious expression.
First, during travel in China, unless life is threatened, it is strictly forbidden to use magic in front of Muggles, or use magic to do harm to others,
If there is a violation, the Huaxia Taoist Association has the right to impose corresponding sanctions on foreign wizards who violate the rules.
Second, all wizards who come to the territory of China must carry the tracking symbol provided by the Huaxia Taoist Association with them, so that they can track their location at any time,
Trackers cannot be lost or damaged intentionally, otherwise they will be deported immediately.
Third, when you come to the territory of China, you must abide by the laws formulated by all Huaxia Taoist associations in China. If there is any violation, it will be dealt with according to law without mercy.
When leaving the registration office, the little nun at the registration office also presented two books for free, one is "Code for Practitioners in China", and the other is "Things Foreign Wizards Need to Know When Entering China",
Both are English translations, apparently specially prepared for foreign wizards entering the territory.
Fortunately, because Charlie was just a non-threatening phantom cat, he was not tagged with a tracker. Even the registration was only in the pet column of Alice's file, with his name and race written, and no separate file was listed.
After coming out of the registration office, everyone found Wang Shouyi who was already busy with other affairs in the hall, and then, led by him and three of his subordinates, they came to the outside of the big red wall in a carriage.
……
"I wish you all a happy stay in Huaguo!"
After Wang Shouyi greeted everyone politely, he disappeared inside the red wall.
"We need to find a hotel fast, the kids are exhausted!"
After Wang Shou left, Roman hugged the youngest Sophia and said to Arthur.
According to London time, it was two o'clock in the middle of the night, and it was time to go to bed. Just now, because I saw all kinds of novel things all the way, I was able to persevere. Now that I stopped, the little wizards like Alice and Harry were fine, but the five little ones in the orphanage couldn't bear it anymore.
"Oh, let me take a look. Mr. Wang just said that Magic Street is near here. Maybe we can go there and find a place like the Leaky Cauldron to stay. We can also have a drink and enjoy the delicious food of Huaguo!"
Arthur opened the "Things Foreign Wizards Need to Know When Entering China", turned to the last page, found the location marked Magic Street in the Imperial Capital, and suggested to everyone.
"That's a really good idea!"
Under the supervision of Mrs. Weasley along the way, the Weasley brothers, who tried their best to restrain their behavior, first raised their hands in agreement.
Next, except for the five little ones who were already asleep, everyone agreed to Arthur's suggestion. After all, no one could refuse a new, never-before-seen Magic Street.
"The key is how we get there now, so many Muggles here are watching us!"
Mrs. Weasley looked at her group of people who were watching again after leaving the range of the red wall,
"Maybe we can try that!"
Under Charlie's reminder, Alice raised her hand and pointed to the opposite side of the street from the park gate not far away,
There are dozens of special transportation vehicles of the imperial capital, rickshaws, quietly waiting for the passengers who came out of the park to take them.
"The group that came this time should only be here for tourism. The registration period is two months, and the three of you are responsible for monitoring!"
Inside the red wall, Wang Shouyi, who had left Arthur and his party, gave instructions to the three young people around him at the same time.
The territory of Huaguo is not abroad. The relationship between the Huaxia Taoist Association and the Huaguo government is much closer than the relationship between the Ministry of Magic and the local government abroad.
So the policies adopted are also very similar.
That is, they attach great importance to issues that may threaten the safety of the people. Dangerous elements like foreign wizards must be listed as key targets of supervision.
