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 examination 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 Liangyi and Four Symbols. The attributes of Qi are naturally nothing more than this. If you kid thinks The existence of other types of qi can be brought up, but whether others recognize it or not is another matter."
"Okay, thank you, Master." Erhu stuck out his tongue.
"The next question is yours... Well, 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 he was 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 investigating things, they are all part of the principle. Just like most people don't use multivariate equations or the laws of mechanics, but they will still be taught these in school. Because once they know the existence of the principle, 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 in the outside world. Until the two can interact with each other, it’s as if 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 activate the stronger power in the world.
Therefore, some people in the Privy Council call awakening and feeling Qi "opening the eyes".
Only after opening one's eyes can one understand the other side of the world.
"Don't be discouraged if you can't feel it. This is a normal phenomenon." He breathed a sigh of relief. "You can continue to try at home after you go back. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't try. As far as I know, there is no practical test for Qi in school exams. Operation, after all, there are only a very small number of people who can sense Qi—"
"Luo Fuzi, is the qi floating around me?" Someone suddenly called out.
"I think I saw it too."
"Hey, you all feel the change?"
"No, I didn't notice anything."
"I just feel like there's something warm inside my body."
Someone started talking, and the children started shouting all at once.
Luo Heng shook his head helplessly. This is also the most common symptom for ordinary people - they cannot distinguish between imagination and hallucination.
But it is very easy to solve one point.
He moved the spiritual platform from under the podium, which was also 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 the secret cabinet.
"If you think you feel angry, please come to the lecture hall."
A dozen students stood up with a splash in the room.
Luo Heng secretly rolled his eyes. He was indeed a newborn calf. He obviously didn't know anything, but he never lacked confidence.
"Get in line first! This magic weapon is called the Lingtai. It can sense the flow and attributes of Qi. Since you haven't learned to introduce Qi into the body, you probably won't be able to drive the pointer of the Lingtai, but it shouldn't be difficult to make it vibrate a little." He Explains, "The first person comes over, holds the cup with their hands, and repeats the breath-sensing meditation from before."
The first student closed his eyes and concentrated for a long time, and the pointer did not move at all.
Knowing that this was the case, Luo Heng had no trouble in his heart. "Okay, you didn't really open the aisle, go back to your seat."
There was a burst of laughter in the classroom.
The latter walked down the stage dejectedly.
"Next."
In second place is Aduo. She hesitated for a moment before reaching out and holding the altar.
At this moment, the pointer moved - it swayed left and right as if being blown by the breeze.
Luo Heng froze on the spot.
what's the situation? Is there anyone among these children who is really sensitive to Qi
By the way... The school has enrolled more than a thousand students in total, right? That being said, it seems normal to bump into one occasionally.
"Master...does this count for me?" A'duo asked cautiously.
"Well, you go and wait for now, and check again later." Luo Heng coughed twice, "Continue to the next one."
But what happened next left him stunned.
The third child also attracted the attention of the mourning platform.
The fourth one is still the same.
At the end of the test, Luo Heng was speechless.
Of the fourteen students who stood up, seven actually passed the spirit test and were verified to be Qi Sensers!
