The academician in charge of the sermon was still wearing the official robe of Qin Tianjian, and the people who walked up to the asking platform at this moment also had a curious attitude, and sat cross-legged on the asking platform as the academician said.

The sermon officially began, and the crowd of onlookers soon fell silent.

Although the Dao platform was very large, the academician was still able to transmit the sound to the ears of every cultivator without the help of any amplification equipment.

Before leaving, these academicians had attended a meeting organized by Zhao Qi in the office, and in the meeting, Zhao Qi also explained in detail what he wanted to talk about during the sermon.

They didn't go to let the people know what the Tao was right away, or even explain some complex theories, but they started directly from the sense of qi, and let all the practitioners try to feel the aura that exists between heaven and earth.

Now, many years later, although the aura has not reached the level of full recovery, it is much richer than in previous years.

Therefore, Zhao Qi also knew that as long as he was sincere and inducing, it would not be difficult for cultivators to feel the aura in the right way.

As long as you can feel the aura, it is actually the first step into the cultivation world.

First let them feel the intuitive changes, and then tell the origin of the Great Dao from the standpoint of this change, which is a good medicine suitable for the cultivation of the people in this area.

"Knowing that there is something to do, knowing that there is nothing to do, not seeing the sky above, not seeing the earth below, not seeing me inside, and not seeing people outside.

Whether it is the six qi theory of the doctor or the qi sense of the martial artist, the classics of Confucianism are all based on the Taoist qi source.

In fact, there is always an aura between heaven and earth, and the reason why it cannot be perceived is because the heart is foolish.

Instead of asking what qi is, you can actually ask rhetorically, what is not qi? ”

The old academician walked among the meditating practitioners with his hands behind his back, and through his own words, he gradually brought everyone into a completely new realm.

"Qi is difficult to describe because it is nature itself, which is a very grand and abstract concept, almost close to the word Tao.

Therefore, if you want to clearly say what qi is, no matter how rational and objective your mind is, you can't say it completely.

But if you can start to accept a new worldview, you will be able to see the world with qi. ”

The old academician patiently told about his understanding of qi, while the people avoided their eyes, holding their breath and concentrating, but according to what the old academician said, they tried to connect with the aura around them.

"All things in heaven and earth are acquired, and before that they are congenital, innate qi, formless and formless, circulating and self-contained.

What everyone wants to feel is that there has been an innate qi since ancient times, and the contemplation of the true one through the luck of the gods can produce vitality, and the qi that arises out of nothing is the innate qi. ”

In the center of the platform, the old academician stopped and slowly looked up at the people sitting around.

He saw that some people's eyes were closed, as if they were trying to feel something.

He smiled in his heart, knowing that these people had gradually entered the wonderful world he had described.

"Innate qi, formless and imageless, circulating and self-contained."

He repeated, his voice unhurried, making people feel extremely comfortable and reassured.

"This is qi, this is the starting point of our cultivation."

He saw that someone began to slowly move the breath in his body, as if he wanted to feel this so-called "innate qi".

He nodded secretly in his heart, knowing that these people had already begun to embark on the path of cultivation.

"Cultivation is not a complicated thing, it is really a communication between us and heaven and earth.

Through the perception of qi, we establish a connection with heaven and earth.

And the closer this connection is, the deeper our practice will be. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a commotion outside the platform.

He frowned slightly, looked up, and saw that a cultivator had woken up from meditation and was looking at his hands with surprise on his face.

"I feel it! I feel the innate qi! The cultivator shouted loudly.

The old academician smiled slightly, he knew that this was what he was going to tell. And the experience of this practitioner is the best proof of this.

"Do you feel it? This is qi, and this is the beginning of our practice. ”

Again, he said, "As long as you can feel this power, then you are already on the path of cultivation.

Next, you just need to keep experiencing, perceiving, and cultivating, and you will find that you are gradually merging with heaven and earth in the process. ”

His words were simple and direct, but they were deeply moving.

However, there are very few people who can feel the qi at the moment, and among the 1,500 people, including the elites sent by the military department, this person is the only one who feels the presence of qi.

Among the rest of the people, some people were impetuous, and after just meditating for a while, they began to sit on pins and needles.

Some people are mentally ignorant, and it is always difficult to clearly understand the existence of qi.

However, the old academician was not disappointed by this, because as long as there was a person with great talent who showed this talent, all their efforts were worth it.

Therefore, the old academician quickly sank into his mind, and it seemed that he was still guiding others to find the sense of qi, but in fact, he was also constantly using words to let the only person who felt the great talent of the sense of qi be able to continue to improve.

"Innate Qi is formless, so it's very difficult for us to control it.

But the acquired qi is not, to put it simply, we can also identify our current breath as a kind of acquired qi.

By controlling the acquired qi, meditating and concentrating, and holding the yuan and keeping one, it can also faintly drive the innate qi, thus forming an endless breath with heaven and earth. ”

As he spoke, the old academician also paid attention to the great talent, and he could even feel the faint water-like gas swimming around this person.

He saw that the face of this great talent was not at all what it had been when he had just entered the platform.

All the worries, trepidations, and apprehensions on the man's face had vanished, and had been replaced by a brightness that had never been seen before.

It was as if the man had seen something and felt something.

All he had to do was to continue to give encouragement to the great talent, and then mention some qi-related methods in passing.

"Qi is everywhere and all the time, so instead of looking for it, it's better to sense it."

The old academician smiled slightly: "In addition to breathing, you can also feel your heartbeat." ”

After hearing this, everyone nodded secretly.

The reason why it is believed that there is an inevitable connection between the heart and qi is that both doctors and Taoists believe that the heart is the official of the monarch and the gods are the gods.

In fact, Reiki is also alive, and the most active place of life must be in the heart.

Only by calming the mind can we better feel qi.

This is also the reason why many practitioners must choose to close their eyes when meditating.

Once you close your eyes, there will be a lot less distraction from the outside world, so that you can better feel the beating of your heart.

Soon someone began to try to feel their heartbeat.

Under the explanation of the old academician, more and more people immersed themselves in the practice.

Although they are not as gifted as they can clearly perceive qi, they can also faintly perceive wonderful feelings that they do not have at all in ordinary life.

In the process, they also began to think about the relationship between life and spiritual practice.

Someone once asked the old academician, where is the end of the practice? But the old academician's answer is very simple: nowhere is it.

This kind of answer seems to be mysterious, but in fact it contains a simple truth.

Spiritual practice is not about achieving a certain goal, but about feeling, experiencing, and understanding the relationship between yourself and the world in your daily life.

In this process, some people gradually realized the connection between different life forms, and some people began to try to use the power of Qi to change their lives.

There was an old man who found that his connection with heaven and earth became closer and closer in his practice, as if he was able to create a magical connection with everything around him.

He found that his body had become much lighter, as if he had returned to the state of his youth.

He began to try to use this power to help the people around him. Some people were freed from their illnesses because of his help, while others began a wonderful spiritual journey under his guidance.

What the old man experienced was the power of Qi in connection with different living beings.

Through his practice, he gradually realized this power and passed it on in his own way.

In this process, more and more people are joining the ranks of spiritual practice. They may not fully understand the meaning of the practice, but they can feel the wonderful experience that the practice brings.

They began to try to use the power of Qi to change their lives and help those around them. In the process, they also find themselves increasingly connected to the world around them.

And the old academician has been asking the center of the platform, smiling and watching the changes in these people. He knew that these people had gradually embarked on the path of cultivation, and he himself had gained a lot in the process.

He found that his body had become lighter and his thinking had become clearer. He felt the endless breath of heaven and earth flowing through his body, as if he had become one with this universe.

This amazing experience was also shared with other people after the practice, which made more and more people yearn to participate in the practice.

At present, the Great Yan Kingdom is also actively preparing for this step, because there are still some people who continue to maintain the basic operation of society, so there is no time for the second registration yet, the first batch of cultivators' basic cultivation time is set at a month, and there will be an assessment after a month, and those who excel in the assessment can enter the coveted Xuan Academy and accept Zhao Qi's personal teaching.

Everyone is working towards this goal, and at the Dao platform, day and night, you can see the practitioners sitting cross-legged in white clothes.

During this month, the entire Great Yan Kingdom seemed to be much quieter, and even those who were unable to participate in the cultivation would deliberately slow down and avoid disturbing them when they drove past the vicinity of the Ask Tower.

Some of them found nothing, and some of them had a flash of inspiration.

But regardless of the outcome, their efforts are a challenge to their own limits.

In this upsurge of cultivation, the Great Yan Kingdom did not carry out a mandatory push, but through natural selection, let those who were willing to participate naturally participate, and let those who were not suitable naturally withdraw.

A month passed quickly, and the people in the audience began to leave one after another.

Most of them didn't achieve their goals, but they didn't have any frustration on their faces, because they knew that as long as they worked hard, they would definitely get something.

And those who have really gained something, they are not in a hurry to show their results, but quietly accumulate strength in their hearts, because they know that this is only the beginning of their spiritual path.

The Great Yan Kingdom did not announce the specific assessment results, because everyone has different experiences and gains in the process of cultivation, which cannot be measured by a unified standard.

But Zhao Qi said in an interview:

"Cultivation is not in a hurry to achieve a certain result, and cultivation is already against the sky, that is, as a practitioner, he should understand what the general trend is.

Even if you don't get results on the platform now, it doesn't mean that you can't go on the path of cultivation.

There are 108,000 kinds of Taoism, and all the laws and laws are destined to be crossed.

If you have this fate today, you will surely bear fruit tomorrow. ”

This quote deeply touched those who had made an effort in their practice, and they began to reflect on their actions and attitudes.

Some people start to re-examine their daily lives, while others start to try to incorporate the experience of spiritual practice into their work.

The influence of this practice has not diminished with the passage of time, but has made more and more people pay attention to and participate in it.

They may not fully understand the meaning of the practice, but they can feel the wonderful experience that the practice brings.

In this process, the Great Yan Kingdom is also actively preparing for the next plan. They began to prepare more platforms to allow more people to participate in the practice.

At the same time, they also began to follow up and evaluate existing practitioners in order to better understand their needs and problems.

Zhao Qi also began to design a new teaching plan in the Xuan Academy.

He does not bring all practitioners together for a uniform teaching, but rather individualizes instruction according to the characteristics and needs of each individual.

In this way, he hopes that everyone will be able to find their own direction on the path of cultivation.

At the same time, the Great Yan Kingdom also began to solve some practical problems.

For example, public transportation lines have been added near the Asking Tower, so that those who do not have a private car can easily travel to the Asking Platform to practice.

Another example is the establishment of dedicated guidance centers in various communities to provide professional guidance to those who want to participate in the practice but are not sure where to start.

The implementation of these measures has enabled more and more people to participate in spiritual practice, and has also made spiritual practice a part of the national life of the Great Yan Country.

Although their lives are still full of challenges and pressures, they have begun to learn to find balance and fun.

In the face of this unprecedented reform, under the cohesion of the country, all the people are actively working hard.

At the Qiantang River Dojo, the first practitioner who had achieved initial achievements in his practice dedicated his life.

At this moment, he was in full view of everyone, slowly spreading his hands, and there was a flash of thunder in his palm.

The dark clouds in the sky converged as a result, and although they were only a few faint layers, they were enough to startle the others.

The academician in charge of teaching in this dojo nodded with satisfaction, this person is a person with great talent, and the qi of heaven and earth he feels is thunder.

When the Heavenly Danger Mountain arrived, a cultivator sat on the edge of the cliff day and night, and there was always a strong wind swimming around him.

The rustling of the surrounding trees constitutes a natural music, but the sound of this sound reaches the ears of the practitioners, like a Dharma walking path from nature.

Otherwise, the academician who was teaching at this ashram would have keenly realized that the aura that this practitioner perceived was the aura of nature.

More and more cultivators with great talents are showing their talents on the Dao platform.

When it comes to cultivation, it is difficult to say that it is easy to say that it is simple and simple, and the difficulty of the path to be traveled is determined by the word Huigen.

Zhao Qi designed this month-long preaching practice for the whole country in order to discover these great talents and bring them to the Xuan Academy to intensify their training into a protective force that can resist foreign enemies.

Of course, this is only the first step that Zhao Qi wants to do, and in the end, all the people in the country must be able to receive cultivation in the Xuan Academy.

But this is a long and long-term road, and it will not be achieved overnight.

After all, the state still has to maintain its operation, and if the whole people enter the cultivation, the impact on the country will be very huge.

After all, no matter what, there is still a self-contained system in this mortal world, and even if it is a practice, you must first do everything before you can ask Shinto.

After a month, the academicians also submitted their respective statistical list materials to Zhao Qi, and Zhao Qi could learn about those who showed great talent in cultivation in various dojos across the country through this list.

According to the final statistics, nearly 180,000 of the first batch of practitioners participated in the practice, but in the end, only 10,000 people had great talents.

Fellow academicians, I still feel a little disappointed about this, and I am worried that I will not be able to meet Zhao Zhaoqi's original standards.

But in fact, these 10,000 people have exceeded Zhao Qi's expectations, because only Zhao Qi really knows how rare this so-called talent is.

According to the original plan, after five days, the one-month practice will end, and the practitioners in the various ashrams will face the assessment.

Those who have excellent results in the assessment will be sent directly to the Xuan Academy, and Zhao Qi and the team members only need to wait in the Xuan Academy.

The team members were also very excited about this, and they followed the Xuan Academy early to wait for the arrival of the first batch of students.

In this way, the curtain of the new era, with the arrival of the first assessment, slowly opened...... (End of chapter)
