Heaven's Formula

"What is the Bureau of Affairs saying? Doesn't it mean that my wife and I can give birth to a dog?"

"A dog and a dog demon are two different things."

"When the child was born, did it look like a human or a dog?"

Of course, not everyone is opposed to it. After all, this announcement was issued by the Bureau, so it is unlikely to be a joke on such an urgent matter.

"It doesn't matter who gave birth to the demon, but it shouldn't be a problem that the demon is different from other evil spirits, right? The group of long ears floating in the sea have stayed for so long, so there is nothing wrong with it."

"That's a monster from overseas, how can it be compared?"

"Oh? Could it be that you mean that my Daqi's monsters are extra ferocious and more like evil spirits by nature?"

"Ahem... dude, that's not what I meant."

It was still the enthusiastic crowd who made the final decision, "Wait a minute, this announcement seems to be written by Mr. Xia Fan himself, with his seal at the end."

The voice of doubt suddenly dropped.

"So it was Master Xia's intention... You should have said it earlier!"

"It's impossible for Mr. Fu Cheng to collude with Xie Chong?"

"What if he made a mistake?"

"Fart, you know from the evaluation of the teacher in the school. Mr. Xia knows everything about astronomy and geography. How could he make such a mistake!"

"That's all, if it's really a dog... No, dog monster, I'll admit it."

Accompanied by voices of various discussions and disputes, this announcement was like a stone thrown into a lake, causing waves to spread throughout the city in a very short period of time.

……

The only ones who have not been affected too much by the outside world are the children who sit in the school and listen carefully.

Even in the snowy winter, the teaching did not stop.The thick paper windows keep the cold wind out, and the stoves placed in the four corners of the room maintain the temperature in the room. For some children from poor families, attending school is more comfortable than staying at home.

Today's course content is the basic teaching of qi, and the lecturer is the new alchemist Luo Heng.

"Last time I have taught you the origin of qi and the difference between qi and accumulation, you should have not forgotten it?"

"No!" Everyone replied in unison.

"Very good, then this time I will focus on the classification of qi and the method of perceiving qi."

He put on a satisfied smile, but he let out a long sigh in his heart.

This is too far from the alchemist career he imagined.

If he was not the second batch of alchemists assigned to Jinxia, ​​but the first to arrive here, would he also be appreciated and valued by the princess, and ascend to the sky in one step?

But this thought only lasted for a moment, and Luo Heng threw it to the back of his mind.

He knows that he is definitely not a person who is known for his ability, and he is also less courageous than most of his colleagues.So when there was a conflict between the academic department and the command department, he stood on Wen Xingyuan's side, just because the other party had older qualifications.Similarly, when Zhao Dahai warned them to evacuate, he did not follow the tall alchemist's order and insisted on staying in the Privy Council Mansion, but sneaked out of the Privy Council Mansion at night when no one noticed.

As a result, there was a wild night in Jinxia City the next day, and only four new alchemists from the academy survived, and he was one of them.And those colleagues who chose to stay in the mansion and never succumbed to Xia Fan died in the evil attack of Sha Ye.

Chapter 335 The Inflection Point

Luo Heng was glad that he had escaped, but also sadly found that he did not have the will and confidence to fight against evil spirits.

Even after all this time, he would still dream of the dark and misty sky and wake up in shock.Before he heard other colleagues say that Xia Fan came from the examination room of Qingshan Town, and when the content of this year's assessment in Qingshan Town was the Great Wilderness Night, he didn't feel how powerful the other party was. It was not until he experienced it himself that he and Xia Fan were not at all. People on the first level.

So when the latter approached him and offered to let him go to the school to be a teacher, Luo Heng agreed without hesitation.

It might be his best choice to receive a stable salary and not have to deal with evil spirits anymore.

After all, the master's status is lofty, and he is respected when he speaks out, not much worse than a alchemist.

But he still has regrets in his heart.

That is, what he taught was not those who were sensitive, but ordinary Jinxia City children.

"Master Luo, can I ask a question?" A student's voice interrupted Luo Heng's thoughts.

"Tell me." He had a little impression of this kid, and he seemed to be called Erhu.There is no official name, which means alien immigrants.

"You said that the classification of qi is based on the eight trigrams, so is there any kind of qi other than the eight trigrams?"

Luo Heng paused for a moment, he really hadn't considered this point.

"Master, I also have a problem." Another little girl also raised her hand, "Since everyone is angry, why do only a few people feel it?"

"What does Qi look like?"

"Does Qi have a color?"

More questions ensued.

"Stop, stop, come one by one." Luo Heng knocked on the table, and shouted impatiently, but then realized that the school norms require the teacher to treat the students warmly, and instantly took this boredom into his heart . "Let's start with the two tigers first - the Eight Diagrams is a summary of people's experience for thousands of years. It contains all the changes from the beginning of chaos to the two appearances and four phenomena. Naturally, the types of qi are the same. If you kid If you feel that there are other types of qi, you can bring it up, but whether others recognize it or not is another matter."

"Okay, thank you, Master." Erhu stuck out his tongue.

"Next is your question... um, A Duo, right?" Luo Heng didn't do anything else during the one or two months he stayed in the school, but he read a lot of books, and he still had trouble dealing with these basic problems of the children. It was easy, but he didn't think this kind of course was meaningful.

If you can't even break through the step of feeling qi, what's the use of learning about qi?

This is also where Luo Heng's biggest knot lies.

In fact, he approached Xia Fan privately about this matter, and asked him about the purpose of setting up this course.In his view, everything he does is a waste of energy and time, and what the children learn may not be used in their lifetime.

However, Xia Fan's answer is also very simple. His original words are "Since all living beings have qi, it proves that qi is a very common substance. There is no harm in letting the world know more about it. Schools teach the principles of all things, arithmetic Whether it is good or the investigation of things, they are all part of reason. Just like most people don’t use multivariate equations or the laws of mechanics, but schools will still teach them these. Because once people know the existence of reason, the way people look at the world The way it will change.”

Luo Heng was not convinced.

He even went so far as to doubt the school itself.

In the past, people studied to gain fame and wealth in exchange for glory and wealth. These things taught in schools may sound reasonable, but it seems that they can't get anything back.

It's just that, just like in the past, he didn't continue to question, but concealed all these disagreements, and then performed his duties.

At least every time he takes a class, he can get back an extra salary.

It is this regret that always exists.

If Xia Fan asked him to teach a group of qi-sensitive people, he would have nothing more to ask for in this job.

But Luo Heng also knew that there were so many people who were angry in this world.

Even someone like him is considered one in a million.

After answering the students' questions, Luo Heng entered the next link: teaching everyone how to feel Qi.

"The most important thing about feeling Qi is imagination. Before you really touch it, it doesn't exist in a sense. First, close your eyes and focus on yourself."

The children followed suit.

The room was quiet for a moment, and even the occasional cold wind blowing outside the window could be heard clearly.

In fact, this group of students is quite sensible, except for a little more messy questions, Luo Heng thought to himself.He didn't hate to teach them the knowledge that only alchemists could master in the past, he just tired of his futile efforts.

"Next, feel the qi in your body. You can think of it as blood, springs, or even touch—" he said slowly while combining his own experience, "try to let it communicate with the qi outside , until the two can interact with each other, as if the body suddenly opened a channel that had been closed before."

This is the watershed between the general public and those who are sensitive.

No one can help them with this step.

Those who lack talent will not be able to sense the moment when the heaven and the earth blend together throughout their lives.Luo Heng will never forget that when the "channel" was opened, he seemed to see a wider world with his eyes closed.The air permeating the sky and the earth is like a cloud, flickering and fading together with his breathing.

It is this indescribable connection that alchemists can use their own will to arouse more powerful forces in the world.

Therefore, some people in the Privy Council also call the awakening sense energy "opening the eyes".

After opening the eyes, people can comprehend the other side of the world.

"Don't feel discouraged if you don't feel it, it's a normal phenomenon." He breathed out lightly, "You can continue to try at home after you go back. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't try. As far as I know, the reality of school exams not being a test Operation, after all, those who can perceive Qi, after all, are very few—"

"Luo Fuzi, is Qi floating around me?" Someone suddenly shouted.

"I think I saw it too."

"Hey, do you all feel the change?"

"No, I don't notice anything."

"I just feel like there's something hot in my body."

Someone started the conversation, and the children chattered all over the place.

Luo Heng shook his head helplessly, this is also the most common symptom for ordinary people - they can't distinguish what is imagination and what is hallucination.

But it is very easy to solve one point.

He moved out the spiritual platform from under the podium, which was also a tool used by the Privy Council to identify the nature of alchemists.Since Xia Fan came to power, this thing is no longer kept in the secret cabinet.

"Those who think they feel angry, please come to the lecture hall."

A dozen or so students stood up in the room with a clatter.

Luo Heng secretly rolled his eyes, as expected of a newborn calf, he obviously doesn't know anything, but he never lacks confidence.

"Line up first! This magic weapon is called Lingtai, which can sense the flow and type of qi. Since you have never learned how to draw qi into the body, it may not be possible to drive the pointer of the spirit platform, but it should not be difficult to make it vibrate a little." He said. Explains, "The first person comes, holds the cup with his hand, and repeats the qi meditation from before."

The first student closed his eyes and concentrated for a long time, the pointer did not move at all.

Knowing this was the case, there was no wave in Luo Heng's heart. "Okay, you didn't really open that passage, go back to your seat."

There was a burst of laughter in the classroom.

The latter walked off the podium dejectedly.

"next."

In second place is A Duo.She hesitated for a moment before reaching out to hold the Lingtai.

At this moment, the pointer moved - it swung left and right twice as if being blown by a breeze.

Luo Heng froze in place.

what's the situation?Actually, there are really angry people in this group of children?

By the way... the school has enrolled more than 1000 students in total, right?That said, it seems normal to bump into one every once in a while.

"Master...do I count?" A Duo asked cautiously.

"Uh, you go and wait on the side first, and review it later." Luo Heng coughed twice, "Continue to the next one."

But what happened next left him dumbfounded.

The third child also inspired Lingtai.

Fourth, still the same.

At the end of the test, Luo Heng was already speechless.

Out of the [-] students who stood up, seven of them passed the test at the spirit platform and were verified as qi-sensing persons!

Chapter 336 Analysis of Immortal Arts

Is this a coincidence, or is something wrong with Lingtai?

Luo Heng found it difficult to accept both explanations—there were only about fifty people in this class, and there were seven qi-sensitive people at one time. This ratio was a bit subversive of common sense.If it's the latter...a Lingtai is worth thousands of gold, if it is broken in his hands, he will probably have to pay back the debt to the school in his life.

He decided to try it on himself first.

With the injection of air, the pointer points to the "due" position very accurately.

Luo Heng breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, everything in Lingtai looks normal.That conclusion can only be the first one—the fortune of this class is amazing, and it happens that there are seven children who have the talent of being a sense of energy. From now on, they will have a completely different life from others.

But... is that really the case?

There are different ages for sensing qi, and there are times spanning several years. For example, Luo Heng himself didn't awaken this ability until he was 11 years old, while those geniuses from aristocratic families showed their talents at the age of five or six.Theoretically speaking, it is theoretically possible to open eyes until adulthood.

And that's the problem—these kids in front of them are only trying it for the first time today.Seven people succeeded in the first attempt, which cannot be summed up by coincidence.Even if he never liked to get to the bottom of it, he couldn't use this reason to convince himself.

It can only be said that there must be some reason for this abnormal situation.

Thinking of this, Luo Heng couldn't help getting pimples all over his body, and an indescribable chill rose from the soles of his feet—it wasn't trembling because of fear, but a subconscious tremor in the body when facing an unprecedented change.

If anyone can find out this reason, it will definitely set off a shocking wave in the magic world.

For some reason, the answer that Xia Fan said suddenly appeared in his mind——

"Because once people know the existence of reason, the way people see the world will change."
