Chapter 70: A Song of Wood and Earth (II)
I saw Tan Feixuan take out a potted plant from under the podium.
"This bonsai has nothing but soil, but when I plant a seed and infuse it with wood magic, ......"
I saw that the seeds took root and germinated at a speed visible to the naked eye, continued to grow, and finally turned into a brightly colored sunflower.
Tan Feixuan held the potted plant and smiled: "Can anyone explain why this is?"
A boy raised his hand, Tan Feixuan nodded, and the man got up and replied, "Because the characteristics of wood are from the inside out, rising from the bottom to the bottom." In the middle of the four seasons, the main spring can give birth to all things, and the wood magic is infused to accelerate the growth of plants, so the seeds can quickly grow into flowers in a short time. β
Tan Feixuan nodded with satisfaction, "What will happen to the soil?"
"The soil will be hardened. The student replied. Indeed, the soil in the potted plant has hardened, as he said.
"Why?"
"Because of the soil, the flowers absorb the nutrients in the soil during the growth process, and when the nutrients are taken away by the flowers, the soil is compacted. β
"Is that so?" Tan Feixuan said, pretending to be puzzled.
The student nodded affirmatively.
Tan Feixuan smiled: "Then you can look at it again." With that, continue to inject wood magic into the bonsai.
I saw that the sunflowers were growing, and the sunflower surface was full of sunflower seeds, and the flowers were getting bigger. Suddenly, with a "poof!", the sunflower withered in an instant, and the petals and sunflower seeds were scattered in the soil, slowly decaying. Eventually, the sunflowers disappeared and the soil was no longer compacted and returned to its original state.
Tan Feixuan held the restored bonsai and smiled, "What's going on?"
The student thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head in embarrassment.
Tan Feixuan motioned for him to sit down and continued to ask, "Does anyone know what's going on?"
Everyone shook their heads blankly, even Xin'er didn't know much about this, and Nameless only told herself in detail about the characteristics of earth, water, metal, and the three elements. Other elements are only occasionally mentioned, most of them are not deep, after all, the two have only been together for 7 years, and the daily theoretical teaching is so time, and there are too many things to teach Xin'er, and it will be impossible to say for a while, and the eight elements are very special, not only have their own characteristics, but also are interrelated, it only takes 7 years to want to explain the eight elements is simply fantastical, and it will take 70 years to barely make the mystery of the elements clear. But Xin'er faintly felt that this was related to the characteristics of the earth element.
Seeing that no one answered, Tan Feixuan didn't ask any more, "Actually, this is the topic we are going to discuss today - the song of wood and earth." β
"We all know that wood is in the position of less yin, should be in the east, is characterized by upward growth, gentle nature, and straight function. The soil is located in the center, connected with all things, and its characteristics are scattered, solid, and the function is the harvest. Wood can give birth to all things, and soil can reproduce all things, so similar, why do they resist each other? The principle is very simple. Although both can benefit all things, the wood structure is single, the soil structure is loose, the strength can win the weak, and the specialization can win the scattered, so the wood overcomes the soil. β
Everyone nodded their heads frequently when they heard this.
"But. Tan Feixuan continued: "Everyone has seen just now, as the wood magic continues to be injected, the flowers wither and wither, and finally are absorbed by the soil, what is going on?"
Xin'er raised her hand and said, "Teacher, is it because the soil can take care of all things and do everything, when it is injected into the wood magician, the soil can also profit from it, and the two will lose the other, and finally the soil will absorb the nutrients of the plant in turn." β
Tan Feixuan smiled with satisfaction: "You are very right, but it is not comprehensive, because you only mentioned the cause of soil, but not wood." This point did involve Xin'er's knowledge blind spot, so she had to shake her head and sit down at Tan Feixuan's signal.
"The five elements also need to consider the strength of the two sides. If the strength of the Shi Ke side is weakened, and the power of the recipient side is strong, the Shi Ke is controlled by the recipient, which is the so-called countermeasure, such as the wood and the soil, but when the wood is in the withering, the wood will be covered by the soil, and the wood in the soil will rot and become the nutrients of the soil. The principle is very simple, because the wood is in the position of less yang, the yang energy is long, and it is not suitable to receive too much yang energy, when I inject the wood magic power, its yin energy is absorbed by the earth, and the yang energy is absorbed by the wood, the yang energy is vigorous, and the wood rises fiercely, but when the yang energy is too strong, the wood is difficult to bear its weight, quickly withers and withers, and finally is absorbed by the soil. It's called a song of wood and earth!"
Everyone suddenly realized: they couldn't imagine that wood and earth were so related.
"Remember, whatever the element, the extremes of things must be opposed, and the extremes of prosperity must decline. Although the five elements have mutual restraint, and yin and yang have mutual repulsion, they are not absolute. Everything must pay attention to a golden mean, not too radical or too slow. Tan Feixuan said earnestly.
Later, Tan Feixuan told a lot about the relationship between wood and earth, which made Xin'er benefit a lot, and it was not until the bell rang for the end of class that Xin'er got rid of the pleasure of sucking knowledge. After saying goodbye to Tan Feixuan, the four of them quickly left the classroom and ran towards the ring.
On the way, Siyu was still a little uneasy and said: "Sister Xin'er, if we don't go, or go and abstain directly, she is clearly bullying you with strength, we don't need to be bullied by her!"
"That's not good, I actually promised others to compete, so I can't go back on my word. My grandfather once told me, "If you don't keep your word, you can't keep your word, and you will be a gentleman!" I want to be an upright female gentleman! So I must keep my promise. Xin'er said as she walked.
Seeing Xin'er's insistence, Siyu had no choice but to say: "Then you bring this white towel, if you can't beat it, don't hold it hard, throw out the white towel, and we will go up to save you immediately." β
In order not to worry Siyu, Xin'er had no choice but to take the towel and say, "Sister Siyu, don't worry, I won't lose." β
"I hope so. β
......
The four of them came to the ring, and at this time, the No. 5 ring was already crowded with layers of people, after all, the school was so big, and the news of such a hot story had already spread. Everyone wants to see the duel between the two beauties and see Xin'er's true strength.
When the crowd saw Xin'er coming, they took the initiative to make a way, and a group of four people walked into the center of the ring from the humane, Ma Dian found Xin'er on the side of the ring and waved: "Sister Xin'er!"
"Brother Dian!" The four of them quickly ran to Ma Dian.
"Come on, race!" Ma Dian said.
Xin'er nodded and turned to look at the ring. Mo Ziyan was already standing in the middle of the ring waiting, only to see her look at Xin'er with contempt, "Hmph, I thought you didn't dare to come! β
Xin'er smiled, "Since I agreed to Ziyan's challenge, I naturally want to come to the appointment." I don't want to be underestimated by Ziyan. β
"Joke, the old lady has never put you in her eyes, how to talk about underestimating it, I am looking for you today, I just want to teach you a lesson, so that you can understand what the rules are!" Mo Ziyan said.
Xin'er smiled, "After that, I will ask Ziyan for more advice." β
Seeing Xin'er's smile, Mo Ziyan said fiercely: "Stinky **, you won't be able to laugh for a while!"
In the face of Mo Ziyan's ridicule, Xin'er didn't care, but Siyu couldn't stand it, "Mo Ziyan, pay attention to what you say!"
Hearing this, Mo Ziyan instead intensified and said, "Cheap woman, I want you to take care of it!"
"You!"
Xin'er signaled that the rain should not be impulsive, and jumped into the ring, only to see another person standing in the ring, still an acquaintance.
"Grandpa Liang, why are you here!" Xin'er said in surprise.
Liang Xuansheng smiled, "I'll be the referee for you." β
During the competition, the academy must have a teacher on the venue to referee, on the one hand, to ensure the fairness of the competition, on the other hand, to ensure the safety of the students, to prevent the two sides from turning the competition into a life-and-death duel. When Liang Xuansheng learned that Xin'er was going to compete with others, he told the principal as soon as possible. The principal immediately assigned Liang Xuansheng as the referee, and the principal observed from a distance, she did not choose to appear, because if she appeared, this competition would be difficult to fight again, and she herself still wanted to know Xin'er's strength. Besides, with Lao Liang as the referee, the principal can still watch the game from a distance with great confidence. At this time, there were many people standing around the principal watching the battle, including Huang Yan, Tan Qianqian, and Tan Feixuanβall of whom were important figures in the academy.
I didn't expect that just a small competition would attract so much attention, and if Xin'er knew about it, she would definitely be shocked.
"Speaking of which, it's really you, I just got into a fight with someone the day after I came to the academy, and this record is about to surpass Ma Dian. Liang Xuansheng smiled.
Xin'er touched her nose a little embarrassed, "Hehe, it's okay." β
Seeing that the two were talking happily, Mo Ziyan said coldly: "Teacher Liang Xuansheng, please treat the game fairly and seriously." β
Liang Xuansheng smiled: "That's nature." β
After that, Liang Xuansheng stopped saying more, motioned for the two to stand ten meters apart, and raised his right hand at the same time.
"Now, it's time for the game!"
