Chapter 23: Introduction to Cultivation
The second period is a mathematics class, a middle-aged woman with a sports head came to classroom 202, she is Zheng Fang's mathematics teacher Fang Fang, a lot of handouts and reference books like the Chinese class, the difference is that Teacher Fang talked about several topics, Zheng Fang is not completely clueless, and there is even a question, Zheng Fang knew the algorithm at first sight. In this way, Zheng Fang was a little complacent, as if he had regained his self-confidence, and he felt that I, Zheng Fang, were not so stupid.
After the math class, Zheng Fang flipped through the homework left by the teacher below, there were twenty or thirty questions, one of which Zheng Fang was actually a little sure to solve now, which made Zheng Fang very happy, thinking that he could turn the reference book to solve the problem, Zheng Fang couldn't help but feel relaxed, it was nothing more than a set of formulas, this is what he is good at, just like an open-book exam, this can't be passed, and he Zheng Fang doesn't have to study. Although the topics are varied, Zheng Fang looks fresh, but everything is changing, and Zheng Fang is really not afraid of this. He didn't know that these math homework was said to be mathematics, but in fact, it contained some basic knowledge of biology, physics, and chemistry, and it was not easy to solve it in a short time.
The third section is a foreign language, and the class is actually a real foreigner, calling himself Peter, Zheng Fang stared at this foreign friend who came to China thousands of miles away, he was really happy, he really saw the Western scenery this time.
It is estimated that he was also watched by the onlookers, Yu Peter turned a deaf ear to Zheng Fang's staring, and like the teacher in the last two classes, he directly threw him a lot of lecture notes and reference books, and then began to explain an English article half-Chinese and half-oceanic, Zheng Fang listened to it for a long time, and only understood that this article was written by a boring Chinese named Hemingway, writing about an old man who went fishing in the sea and didn't catch it for a long time. Isn't this so much idle? It's just that if you catch it, you can't catch it and you write a hammer? Besides, what is fishing for? You need to write so much?
Zheng Fang has never learned English, and this foreigner has not taught from the 26 letters, except for holding a handout in the classroom, explaining one word by one, and the rest, directly let Zheng Fang read it by himself, and he can't understand it? Look up the dictionary? English-Chinese small dictionary, 1 book, 1 yuan 2, no money, what does it matter to me? Zheng Fang really doesn't understand, what do you foreigner learn from Yu Peiying's traitorous man? Aren't you self-interested and dedicated to others? Can't you give me this dictionary? Aren't you a noble person? Aren't you a pure person? Isn't it a moral person, isn't it a person who is detached from low tastes? I really mistook you.
In three classes in the morning, he killed Zheng Fang for 2 yuan, and he couldn't feel distressed, so how could he study if he didn't buy it?
At the end of the morning class, Zheng Fang hurriedly ate lunch, returned to the dormitory with a large stack of handouts and books, and didn't want to sleep, picked up the Tao Te Ching, read it word by word, dizzy for a while, and suddenly slapped the table, I am really stupid, is it necessary to deduct one word at a time? Look at what is the title of the Tao Te Ching arranged by Lao Yu? It should be faster to read it purposefully according to the title, so I thought about turning to the back and taking a look, "In the Tao Te Ching, which 20 sentences do you like the most? Please explain the reason?" After Zheng Fang read it, he sighed, no problem, Lao Yu is really cunning, this question is out, you really can't answer it if you don't finish reading it, there are three or five sentences in one chapter of the Tao Te Ching, you can't say that you like all the first few chapters, even if you like them all, you still have to say the reason, but you still have to read it, and besides, if you do it yourself, the designation of the surname Yu will not let you pass.
After noon in a daze, soon, the afternoon professional class began, to be honest, Zheng Fang is still quite interested in the professional class, without him, curious, introduction to cultivation, as soon as he heard it, he looked very high.
At 14:40 in the afternoon, in classroom 202, a young man wearing a school uniform walked in, Zheng Fang was stunned, almost thinking that a classmate had come in, but he didn't expect the young man to walk directly onto the podium.
"My name is Liu Xiangyang, I am a graduate of the school, and I am now working as a teaching assistant in the school, and I will be in charge of your professional courses at stage 0. β
Blinking his eyes, Zheng Fangxin said, this person looks like he is about the same size as a wilter, but he actually becomes a teacher and makes a lot of money?
Regardless of what Zheng Fang thought, Liu Xiangyang handed over a booklet he had with him to Zheng Fang.
"This booklet is our school's cultivation guide, your future cultivation can be carried out according to this booklet, this book is top secret and cannot be seen by anyone outside the school. As he spoke, Liu Xiangyang turned around and wrote the word "cultivation" on the blackboard, then turned around and asked, "Why do we keep calling ourselves cultivation, not exercise, let alone training?"
"Because cultivation is more comprehensive, it includes not only exercise and training, but also self-cultivation and mind cultivation that are not involved in exercise and training. Liu Xiangyang turned to Zheng Fang and said.
"Every living organism can be regarded as an independent living entity, and this living entity is inseparable from two substances to grow and grow, that is, the vitality and the source of life. So, what is the life force and the source of life? As the name suggests, the life force is the force that sustains the action of the living body, why can we run, jump, lift heavy objects, we can think, and can act according to the results of our thinking? Is it only necessary for us to have a strong body to do all this? The answer is obviously no, in fact, all of this is inseparable from the drive of life force. Liu Xiangyang said as he drew a brief sky, earth, and a few arrows back and forth on the blackboard, and then drew a human figure.
"If we compare living things to a world, then the weight and mass of this world, the abundance of water in this world, the temperature and so on are all characteristics of living things, and they have no role in life, and these characteristics are only characteristics and have no meaning. But once the role of life force is added, the world begins to rotate and revolution, and there are wind, frost, rain, snow, and atmospheric cycles, and the characteristics of the above-mentioned living organisms have meaning, determining the cycle of rotation and revolution, determining the amount of rain and the strength of evaporation. We now know that the movements of the material world aforementioned above are derived from the interaction of forces, and in the same way that for us human beings the forces that move our living beings are also derived from the interaction of forces. β
"With these two things, we human beings are perfect? On the contrary, only these two things, in terms of the essence of life, we are just ordinary beings among human beings, why do you say that? Because there are only these two things, our life form and vitality can only be repeated over and over again from birth to death, and we cannot make a leap to the level of life, but it is precisely our use of the source of life that enables us to embark on the path of cultivation, constantly improve our life form and vitality, so that we can break through the shackles of life levels and evolve life to a higher realm. So, what is a source of life? The simple definition is: any substance that helps to protect and enhance the life and vitality of the living body, we collectively call it the source of life. For example, the spiritual power that we often mention is an extremely important kind of life source, and we can summarize the word cultivation here, which is the process of using the life source to improve our life body and vitality. The improvement of the living body without relying on the source of life is called exercise, and the improvement of the vitality without relying on the source of life is called training. Only when combined with the source of life, our exercise and training of the living body and life force can be called cultivation. β
Turning around, Liu Xiangyang wrote 20 more characters on the blackboard: "Standing", "Moving", "Soul Presence", "Clumsiness", "Void", "Transformation", "Immortal", "Freedom", "Channeling", and "Unity".
"This is the ten realms of cultivation that we can summarize at present, it is said that there is a higher realm above the ten realms, but that is what we can't imagine at the moment, these ten realms are also divided by us with reference to the situation of the ghosts in the spirit world, at present, the highest cultivation we have seen in humans should have reached the immortal realm, and among the ghosts, we guess that there must be a divine realm, and even the existence of the unity realm or a higher realm is also possible, therefore, we are in a weak position in the battle with the ghosts, why is this happening? This is because our world, the most important source of life, spiritual power, is extremely scarce. Liu Xiangyang pointed to the blackboard and explained to Zheng Fang.
"When you came to our school and sent you to Liang, Principal Huang and the school leaders all said that you have talent, what is your talent? Is it that the stress of combat power has skyrocketed?" Liu Xiangyang shook his head.
"You can say yes or no, and say yes because it's one natural ability that you have, and it's not because if you don't have another talent, it's useless. Another talent is the ability to absorb spiritual power for cultivation that all students in this school possess, and having this ability is the fundamental reason why you can come to this school. β
"What is spiritual power? No one can tell, it can hardly be analyzed by all the scientific means now, but it really exists, in today's world, there are still a few places on the earth that can be sensed, but very rare, on the contrary, the location of the ghost, we call the spiritual world, the spiritual power is extremely abundant, the spiritual power on the earth, on the one hand, is due to the existence of the gate, escaped from the spiritual world, this kind of spiritual power accounts for the main part of the earth's spiritual power, and a part is generated by the earth itself, this part is very few, at present, only a few inaccessible places on the earth, will appearβ¦β¦β
Next, Liu Xiangyang also said a lot, Zheng Fang took a lot of notes, he knew that he came to this school for cultivation, what cultural courses, professional courses, in the final analysis, or to serve the combat effectiveness, the realm is high, the combat effectiveness is strong, and the chance of his life is great, Zheng Fang didn't want to kill any strange ghosts, but he can't kill the strange ghosts casually, no, he was killed, and I don't know if the allowance will be paid, it is estimated that it is very likely that it will not be issued, so wouldn't he lose a lot? You have to live, you have to live, only by living, you can get money, and when you die, you have nothing.
At the end of this lesson, Liu Xiangyang briefly introduced the situation of the Standing Realm, after all, Zheng Fang was about to start the cultivation of this realm. Zheng Fang asked carefully, what realm is Zhao Sanba?
"He can be regarded as half of his standing realm now. As he spoke, he told Zheng Fang again.
"Remember, according to our school's calculations, to reach the Intentional Realm, the combat effectiveness is 10, that is to say, to reach the Intentional Realm, you can directly get a professional course credit, in fact, the professional course is not important, the important thing is that in the Intentional Realm, you already have the ability to threaten the ghost. β
