Chapter 168: The Witch's Mystery Lesson
After a while of gossip, when the time came for the second lesson, Ms. Helen took out a bunch of things from the drawer and ordered, "Children, help me hang these star charts." ”
Duchamp hurriedly went up to help. Ms. Helen watched the students work with satisfaction and introduced: "This is a star map that can be observed from the continent of Semria, located in the middle of the zenith, is the eternal sun, and the Semria star is constantly rotating, so there is a difference between day and night, and now we are hanging this set of star maps, on the left are the 12 brightest constellations in the summer sky." In winter, the chart is reversed, showing the eleven constellations on the other side of the universe, while the summer constellations disappear. ”
Ms. Helen looked at the students and asked expectantly, "Each constellation has a special force and foreshadowing of the continent of Semria, and astrologers observe the changes in the sky to extrapolate the changes that are taking place or will occur in the world around us. So, which zodiac sign to talk about today? She glanced among the students and named Duchamp. Styri, what do you want to know about that constellation? ”
Duchamp hesitated for a moment and said, "Cygnus." I always feel that this sign has a slightly familiar feeling. ”
"Wow!" "Cygnus, well, this is one of the three most shining zodiac signs in the summer," said Ms. Helen happily. The astrological aspect of Cygnus is a cross conjunction, and its center is called the 'meeting point of fate', and its star power is the highest among the summer stars, and most people who have always sensed this sign are very talented in alchemy. Judging from the ability you showed in learning, Stellary was quite accurate, and if it was in the Middle Ages, maybe you were also a great alchemist. ”
Duchamp shrugged: "It's not bad to be a guide engineer in modern times. ”
Ms. Helen continued her horoscope textbook: "Cygnus is composed of nine magical stars and hundreds of small stars, and the brightest of the big stars are the five stars that make up the cross of destiny, and most of the legends related to them are related to love. However, when you really want to pray for love, don't look at Cygnus, the legends associated with it are not so complete in the end. ”
"Then may I ask if the seat of Edus, the goddess of the sky, is in the constellation Cygnus?" A little girl asked timidly.
Lady Helen opened her arms and burst out laughing: "Isn't the throne of the goddess written very clearly in the hymn? 'Where the golden light shines, between the eternal rays. How can these little stars compare to the Eternal Radiance! The place where the goddess is is far higher than the starry sky we can see, even astrologers should not be delusional to snoop. ”
Duchamp covered his mouth and couldn't help but yawn.
The medieval occult is a little better, at least it is a history lesson, and the astrology lesson can be related to completely unrelated things, as in today's lecture, the second half of the lecture is completely turned into a discussion and nonsense about the origins of religion and love myths, and Duchamp's mind is all about how to find a suitable opportunity to raise his own doubts.
Lady Helen was particularly fond of a little girl named Anier, who often said that she had a talent for being an astrologer, and that several other girls were particularly active in class, but asked questions that Duchamp did not want to hear.
In the middle of the lesson, Duchamp found that many of the questions asked by the students, and that Ms. Helen did not know the answers, and at this point she diverted the students' attention by talking nonsense.
He yawned boringly, no wonder there were very few boys in the classroom, old men who could stand listening to this kind of nonsense.
In his drowsiness, he finally heard the voice: "Okay, that's all for today's class." ”
After the astrology class, Duchamp felt that his mind was full of stars spinning. He was walking out with his eyes half-closed when he heard a voice behind him, "Steiry." ”
That's exactly what Ms. Helen said.
Duchamp hurriedly beat his spirits, turned around and said with a smile: "Teacher Ms. Helen, what else do you command?" ”
Lady Helen checked Duchamp's state of mind and asked, "Have you been so tired lately?" ”
"This, mainly because I feel that there has been some breakthroughs in the cultivation of martial arts recently, and after the strength reaches the fifth order, the body is very excited, and it is easy to get tired."
"I don't think it's your physical reason, it's that your mental strength has been in a period of high excitement for a long time, and you haven't gotten enough rest."
"What do you say?" Duchamp asked in surprise.
"It's easy to see. You have a lot of energy, and it stands to reason that you will never take a nap in class during the day, but I see that you don't last long, and you feel tired, which is a sign that your brain is in dire need of rest. I have heard that your memory is amazing, but the more you remember in your brain, the more mental energy you need to consume, and you must ensure enough rest to maintain the normal functioning of your brain, otherwise, it may bring sudden fainting and other unpredictable consequences. ”
"Is that so?" Duchamp was shocked, he himself knew best how much stuff was stuffed into his brain.
Helen didn't explain, she continued to ask, "In addition to studying, cultivation is also consuming spiritual power. Like you, who have just broken through the martial realm, you must not be in a hurry to cultivate and indulge in the pleasure of rising strength, but you must first use your whole body to perceive, and use your heart to feel the nourishment of Qiyao entering your body, everything is in accordance with nature, and you can move slowly, so that the power can naturally conform to your body. ”
Duchamp was taken aback, and he found that every word of the Lady of the Occult hit him to the heart.
Helen looked at him with a surprised expression, and stroking her hair curly proudly and habitually: "Don't be so surprised, in the East, there are many martial arts halls, and I have also practiced there, although my talent is mediocre, I have also heard of their cultivation methods. If it is in the East, after a martial artist breaks through the fifth order, the Daoist will often arrange a special cultivation for about a month, called mountain and forest meditation. It is to send a special escort, find a deserted mountain, forest and lake, let go of all mundane affairs, only meditate, eat vegetarian, meditate, ethereal body and mind every day, and try to comprehend the affinity between the warrior and the sky, the earth and Qiyao, so as to ensure that he can reach a higher realm. ”
"You're right, from today onwards, I will no longer get up before dawn to cultivate."
"Oh, why do you want to start cultivating before dawn?"
"Because, it seems that it is easier to concentrate at that time, and cultivation is more effective."
An elusive smile appeared on Lady Helen's face, and she asked, "Then do you think it is more effective to cultivate on a starry night, or when the moon is full?" ”
Duchamp recalled, "I guess, it has nothing to do with the moon, I often get up and start exercising when the morning star is about to fade, when the moon is gone." ”
"Oh, then you should pay attention to rest, and make sure to get more than eight hours of sleep at night."
After the female teacher finished nagging, she reminded Duchamp to come to her class regularly in the future. After Duchamp agreed and walked away, Lady Helen could not help but muttered to herself proudly: "The dawn is shining, that is the embodiment of the power of illusion, a natural astrologer!" ”
Helen did not tell the students that astrologers are essentially a type of person who seeks good fortune and avoids evil.
Although Remur had bragged about the girl named Morgana many times in front of Helen, Helen had felt that the child's fortune was dark since she first saw her. On the contrary, the kid in front of him seems to have a bright future.
