Chapter 82: A Lesson
Not to mention the situation on the side of the Maiden Sect.
On Chen Fan's side, on the first day of school, early in the morning, he and Xiao Qing arrived at the Yiye Hall of the Taoist Temple, which is a special hall for newcomers.
Inside the courtyard is a three-bay room facing south, in the middle is a large lecture hall, except for a very low lecture case, the desks and stools are not put inside, the new students who came, now they are sitting on the ground in this room, the left and right sides are two slightly smaller lecture halls, there is still no one at present, but the desks are put a lot, it is estimated that the two sides add up, can meet the needs of the new students.
As soon as the hour arrived, five Dao Masters came in, and Chen Fan found that three of them had met in the council hall, including Hall Master Xu, but he had not seen his master.
"Students, welcome to my True Martial Arts Taoist Temple to study, some of you are from the lower courtyard of my Taoist temple, Zhenqing Taoist Academy, some from the lower courtyard of other Taoist temples, among you, there are two more who have just finished their studies and came directly to my Taoist temple to study, but these two have been accepted as personal disciples by the two Taoist masters in my Taoist temple,......" Led by a Taoist master, he began his opening speech to the new students.
The students who have come from the past have talked about the glory of the Taoist temple for thousands of years, the glorious mission carried by each student, and the importance that the Taoist temple attaches to students.
The Taoist who spoke first, with a clear Taoist name and a common surname of Yan, was in charge of the teaching of new students and the teaching of the Tao Sutra, and they began to study the "Huang Ting Jing" this semester.
The second is Master Zhao, who specializes in teaching newcomers internal strength and true yuan, internal strength teaches the "Beidou Heart Method", and the cultivation of the true yuan is the "Qi Sutra", which can transform the internal force into a kind of exercise of the true element.
The third is the master of Xu Dian, whom Chen Fan knows, who is responsible for the inheritance of the Taoism of the Emperor Zhenwu, mainly swordsmanship, supplemented by Taoism, in addition to teaching the basic sword style, he will also teach the "Demon Sword Technique", a simple sword move created by the Emperor Zhenwu.
The fourth, the white deacon of the Lingguan Palace, is responsible for the arithmetic of the heavenly machine, called "Nandou Xingshu", which is based on the Tianji arithmetic evolved from the Nandou, the Nandou is the first house of Xuanwu in the north, the main life, according to legend, worshipping the Nandou can increase longevity, "Nandou Arithmetic" evolves the heavenly machine from the gate of life, and guides people to seek good fortune and avoid evil.
The fifth is Elder Zhang of the Taoist Temple, who is responsible for teaching the Five Elements Formation, called "Beidou Star Array", the death of the Beidou Master, not only the evolution of the heavenly machine, but also can be used in the marching array, with the "Nandou Arithmetic" to cooperate, the magic is endless. "It is recommended that those who are good at chess do not give up this formation." When this Elder Zhang finished saying this, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and he glanced at Chen Fan.
Fortunately, there are so many contents, not every subject has to be learned, in addition to the Taoist scriptures are compulsory, others can be elective, the true yuan and the Tao law need to be selected together, arithmetic, star array can be selected separately, everyone chooses according to their own ability, as long as at least one or two subjects are taken in the elective courses, of course, all can be selected. However, Yiqing Daoist suggested that when he was a beginner, he should learn each subject to understand his talent, and Chen Fan naturally planned to choose all of them.
In addition to introducing the teaching content, he also talked about the precepts of Taoism, the most important of which is that the martial arts and Taoism of Taoism are never allowed to be passed on, which is also a regulation that all factions have, and the true martial arts Taoist temple is naturally not exempt from vulgarity.
The other item is about books, the Taoist temple provides treasures for everyone to copy in class, and it is not allowed to take out a leaf hall, which is not a problem for Chen Fan, anyway, he plans to copy it.
And the speech that makes everyone feel pressured is about the Taoist temple. For new students, the first three months are to understand and study their homework, but how to learn, the Taoist temple will organize a big competition at the end of the year to test the results, which is often called the final exam in modern times.
Tao Sutra, arithmetic, formation, is to answer the question with the test paper, each person has the same question, but arithmetic, formation in addition to the test paper, the top ten students, but also through the chess game to determine the final ranking, in case there is a suspicion of talking on paper, and the law of the Tao all depends on the battle to determine the victory, in the words of the Lord of the Xu Palace, the actual combat is the only criterion for testing the level of the Dao, as for the internal force and the true element, it is the embodiment of the process of fighting, if you can neither live forever, but also can not fight, it is better not to learn.
There are three teaching points in the Taoist temple, the newcomer is in the Yiye Hall, the second year will go to the Yizhen Hall, the third year will enter the Yipin Hall, in each school will elect a senior brother, the senior brother is not appointed, but through the Taoist competition, only the Taoist first, can be called the senior brother.
In addition, there is a provision of the Taoist temple, that is, the top ten of the Taoist method will be selected, as the key training object of the Taoist temple, the top ten are not the top ten of each school, but the top ten of all the disciples of the three schools, if they are selected, the practice room in the spiritual pavilion of the Taoist temple can be open to it for free for thirty days, which is equivalent to practicing outside for ten days. This regulation was introduced by the Lord of the Hall of Xu himself, and when it came to this, the Lord of the Hall of Xu also specially explained that the production of the top ten was not necessarily in the Yipin Hall, and it had also happened in previous years that the people of the Hall of the First True Hall had entered, and when it came to this, he also specially said that the people of the Hall of the First Leaf Hall could also participate, and the eager eyes only fell on Xiao Qing, and it was estimated that his words were told to Xiao Qing alone.
With the official start of the class, Chen Fan's life has also entered the pace of three points and one line, home, class, canteen, for him, during this time, there are too many things to do, in addition to copying the textbooks of various subjects and listening to classes, "Taigong Art of War" is not to be delayed, practicing qi is a must, and Bishop Xu Dian's demon swordsmanship is even more to practice.
There are a total of 12 ways in this set of swordsmanship, each of which contains basic actions such as stabbing, splitting, pointing, teasing, hanging, collapsing, sweeping, hitting, chopping, picking, twisting, holding, gridding, blocking, intercepting, etc., and with the pace and body method, for Chen Fan, who has no foundation, it is very hard to practice. Fortunately, Chen Fan has a good memory now, no matter what the masters teach, he can basically remember it once, the key is to practice the coordination of movements and body.
This problem was solved after Chen Fan inadvertently entered the realm of contemplation during his cultivation.
In the three stages before the innate nature, the cultivation of meditation is the true element, and the corresponding parts of the human body are the cultivation of the lower dantian, the middle dantian, and the meridians; Tongming cultivates the five senses, which correspond to the sea of knowledge, that is, the brain; The iQue cultivates the soul, which corresponds to the five internal organs and the upper dantian.
Chen Fan's body and soul have been blessed with the energy of the Spirit Source Bead and the Heavenly Book Page, and Chen Fan has perfect spirit, strong consciousness, cultivation and thinking, and twice the result with half the effort.
Contemplation is actually to store consciousness in the mind on the basis of visualization, to achieve the state of thinking without thinking, which is also the sixth consciousness that Buddhists often say, "mind". People often have subconscious actions, and before the brain has time to reflect, they make action responses, which is often the reflection of the will, and the intention is the subconscious that exists in the human brain, almost an instinct.
Chen Fan found that he used the method of contemplation to save each standard action in his mind, and every time he practiced which action, the subconscious in his mind would play a role, so that the movements would naturally occur, as if they were natural, which made Chen Fan's mastery of the sword a lot easier.
In addition, in his spare time, Chen Fan also went to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to copy the "Palm of the Universe", after all, this palm method is the mastery of the scripture keepers, if the palm shadow can be transformed into a sword shadow, Chen Fan feels that the power must be much stronger than the learned demon sword technique.
Since this demon swordsmanship has been learned by every classmate, if there is some killer skill in his hand, this swordsmanship changed from palm technique must be a good choice, and he does not seek to win against Xiao Qing, but can win Wutong, in Chen Fan's opinion, it should not be difficult, and regardless of the situation of strength, with the comprehension of "Chengying" help, Chen Fan believes that it should not be a problem to beat Xiao Qing in moves.
The days passed like this, and it was half a month in the blink of an eye, during which Chen Fan completed the books of various disciplines, as well as the copying of "The Art of War" and "The Great Movement of the Palm of the Hand", and then, the news of Faqing's victory finally came, Chen Fan did not hesitate this time, and made a decisive move.
