Chapter 336 Turning Point (Part 2)
Luo Heng was grateful that he had escaped, but sadly found that he had no willpower or confidence to fight against the evil spirits.
Even after all this time, he would still dream of that black mist-filled sky and wake up from a fright. He had heard from other colleagues that Xia Fan was from the Qingshan Town examination room, and when this year's Qingshan Town assessment was about the Great Wilderness, he didn't think he was that powerful. It wasn't until he experienced it himself that he realized that he and Xia Fan were not the same person at all. People on the first level.
So when the latter came to him and asked him to go to school to become a master, Luo Heng agreed.
With a stable salary and no need to deal with evil spirits, this may be his best choice.
After all, the Master has a high status and is highly respected when he speaks out, not much worse than an alchemist.
But he still had regrets in his heart.
That is, what he teaches is not Qi Sensers, but ordinary children in Jinxia City.
"Fuzi Luo, can I ask a question?" A student's voice interrupted Luo Heng's thoughts.
"Tell me." He had some impression of this boy, and he seemed to call him Erhu. There is no official name, which means they are immigrants.
"You said that the classification of qi is based on the Bagua. Is there any qi other than the Bagua?"
Luo Heng paused for a moment, he really hadn't considered this.
"Master, I also have a question." Another little girl also raised her hand, "Since everyone has Qi, why can only a few people feel it?"
"What does anger look like?"
"Does Qi have a color?"
More questions followed.
"Stop, stop, come one by one." Luo Heng knocked on the table and shouted impatiently, but then he realized that the school regulations required masters to treat students warmly, and he instantly put this feeling of boredom into his heart. . "Let's start with Erhu's - the Bagua diagram is a summary of people's experience over thousands of years. It contains all the changes from the beginning of chaos to the two rituals and four phenomena. The attributes of Qi are naturally nothing more than this. If you kid If you think there are other types of qi, you can bring it up, but whether others will recognize it or not is another matter."
"Okay, thank you, Master." Erhu stuck out his tongue.
"The next question is yours... um, A'duo, right?" Luo Heng did nothing else during the one or two months he stayed in the school department. He read a lot of books and was still able to deal with these basic problems of children. It was easy, but he didn't think this kind of course had any meaning.
If you can't even break through the step of sensing qi, what's the use of learning about qi?
This is also Luo Heng's biggest knot.
In fact, he approached Xia Fan privately about this matter and asked him about the purpose of setting up this course. In his opinion, everything he did was just a waste of energy and time, and what the children learned would probably not be used in their lifetime.
However, Xia Fan's answer was also very simple. His original words were, "Since all living things have Qi, it proves that Qi is a very common substance, and there is no harm in letting the world know more about it. What the school teaches is the principle of all things, arithmetic Whether it's studying things or studying things, they are all part of the truth. Just like most people don't need multivariate equations or the laws of mechanics, but they will still be taught them in school because once they know the existence of the truth, people will look at the world differently. The way will change.”
Luo Heng was not convinced.
He even doubted the school itself.
In the past, people studied to gain fame and wealth. The things taught in schools may sound reasonable, but they seem to be unable to exchange for anything.
But just like in the past, he did not continue to question, but hid all these disapproving thoughts and continued to perform his duties.
At least he can get an extra salary for every class he takes.
It's this regret that always exists.
If Xia Fan asked him to teach a group of Qi-sensing people, this job would be considered as nothing more.
However, Luo Heng himself also knew that there were not so many Qi-sensing people in this world.
Even someone like him is considered one of a million.
After answering the students' questions, Luo Heng entered the next step: teaching everyone how to sense Qi.
"The most important thing about feeling Qi is imagination. Before you really come into contact with it, it does not exist in a sense. First close your eyes and focus on yourself."
The children followed suit.
The room became quiet for a moment, and even the occasional cold wind blowing through the window could be heard clearly.
In fact, this group of students is quite sensible, except for a little more messy questions, Luo Heng thought to himself. He didn't hate teaching them the knowledge that only alchemists could master in the past, he was just tired of trying in vain.
"Next, feel the qi in your body. You can imagine it as blood, spring flow, or even touch -" he said slowly while combining his own experience, "try to let it communicate with the qi from the outside world." , until the two can interact with each other, it's like the body suddenly opens a channel that had been closed before. "
This is the dividing line between the general public and those who feel Qi.
No one can help them accomplish this step.
Those who lack talent will not be able to sense the moment when heaven and earth merge throughout their lives. Luo Heng will never forget that when the "channel" was opened, he seemed to see a wider world with his eyes closed. The air that filled the sky and earth was like clouds and mist, flickering in and out with his breath.
It is this indescribable connection that allows the alchemist to use his own will to arouse the stronger power in the world.
Therefore, some people in the Privy Council also call awakening to the sense of qi "opening the eyes".
After opening the eyes, people can understand the other side of the world.
"Don't be discouraged if you can't feel it, this is a normal phenomenon." He exhaled lightly, "Everyone can continue to try at home after returning. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't try. As far as I know, the school exam does not test the actual operation of qi. After all, only a very small number of people can sense qi-"
"Master Luo, is it qi floating around me?" Suddenly someone shouted.
"I seem to see it too."
"Hey, you all feel the changes?"
"No, I can't feel anything."
"I just feel like there's something hot in my body."
Someone started, and the children started talking all at once.
Luo Heng shook his head helplessly. This is also the most common symptom for ordinary people-they can't tell what is imagination and what is hallucination.
But it's very easy to solve one point.
He moved the spirit platform from under the podium. This was also the tool used by the Privy Council to identify the nature of the alchemists. Since Xia Fan came to power, this thing is no longer kept in a secret cabinet.
"Those who think they can sense the qi, please come to the lecture hall."
More than a dozen students stood up in the room.
Luo Heng secretly rolled his eyes. He was indeed a newborn calf. Although he knew nothing, he would never lack confidence.
"Line up first! This magic weapon is called Lingtai, which can sense the flow and type of qi. Since you have not learned to draw qi into the body, you probably can't drive the Lingtai pointer, but it should not be difficult to make it vibrate slightly." He explained, "The first person comes over, hold the cup with your hand, and then repeat the previous meditation on sensing qi."
The first student closed his eyes and concentrated for a long time, and the pointer did not move.
Knowing this, Luo Heng was calm. "Okay, you didn't really open that channel, go back to your seat."
There was a burst of laughter in the classroom.
The latter walked down the podium dejectedly.
"Next."
The second person in line was A Duo. She hesitated for a moment before reaching out to hold the Lingtai.
At this moment, the pointer moved - it swayed left and right twice as if it was blown by the breeze.
Luo Heng was stunned.
What happened? There are actually Qi sensers among these children?
Oh, right... the school has enrolled more than a thousand students, right? So it seems normal to bump into one occasionally.
"Master... does this count?" A Duo asked cautiously.
"Well, you go wait aside first, and I will check it again later." Luo Heng coughed twice, "Continue to the next one."
However, what happened next stunned him.
The third child also activated the spirit platform.
The fourth one, the same thing.
At the end of the test, Luo Heng was speechless.
Among the fourteen students who stood up, seven of them passed the spirit platform test and were verified to be Qi sensers!
