Chapter 11: Persuading to Learn Yunjian
Two months passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the year of the Fengqing Festival again.
During this period, no student could pick up the gourd on the podium. After trying twenty-six methods for a month, Dong Erpang completely gave up. Now, he is weak and shook his head with the teachers of the school every day. The other children are in similar condition. Only Gu Qingyuan, Gou Yifang, Li Xuan and Zhao Xifeng have not made any attempts.
On Fengqing, there was no class at the school. Zhou Zhe brought the students from the side hall of the school to the outside of the town and said that he would take everyone to fly kites while the winter sun was warm.
Panlong Town is located in the border area, and the twelfth lunar month is already extremely cold. Parents have complained about the fact that the teaching department has taken their children out and suffered from suffering from privately taking their children out.
So, more than a dozen students were wrapped like small rice dumplings, following Zhou Zhe to the small temple in Zhennan. Although the weather was cold, it was better for everyone to come out to play than staying in the classroom to recite the book, so they were in good spirits.
Zhou Zhe was wearing a single dress, but there was a fur made of fur from unknown animals hanging diagonally around his neck, which looked extremely expensive.
When the kites were being put on the kites, the students walked together in groups of three or three, and took out the kites of different shapes made by their elders overnight. Zhao Xifeng and Dong Erpang walked all the way. Li Xuan covered her mouth and laughed at her, helping Zhao Xifeng to stumble from time to time. Zhao Xifeng didn't say much, but every time he spoke, he would poke Dong Erpang's sore foot, which was so angry that Erpang jumped. Gu Qingyuan hesitated and went forward to talk to Gou Yifang, who was no one caring about it. Gou Yifang ignored him and walked away.
Soon, kites rose up in the sky.
The students are not old yet, so most of them have never played this game. At this time, seeing the kites flying higher and higher, their hearts are filled with a little pride.
The students looked at Zhou Zhe and saw that the other end of the wheel thread in Mr. Teaching Si's hand had entered the sky. From a distance, it seemed that he used a silk thread in his hand to pull the clouds above the nine heavens. Everyone couldn't help but feel a little envious. Mr. is just a gentleman, and even the kite is so good.
Zhou Zhe walked to the peach tree, smiled at the old monk in the temple, tied the wheel thread to the peach branch, and smiled at everyone and said, "Dear students have been enrolled for more than two months. This is the first time I will teach you."
Dong Erpang curled his lips and whispered: "You know too." In the past two months, he has been full of resentment towards the gourd left by Zhou Zhe.
"Can anyone tell me what is practice?" Zhou Zhe asked straight to the point without much nonsense.
When the students saw the teaching department talking about practice, they looked solemn, and even Zhao Xifeng, who was the most unpretentious, sat upright.
As a wealthy family in Panlong Town over the years, the Jiang brothers have been supporting several noble guests at home over the years. Their uncle Jiang Weizhi was appointed as an imperial sect in Kyoto three years ago, so he is not unfamiliar with the matter of cultivation. His elder brother Jiang Chuwen stood up and said, "Uncle Shu once said that practicing is to control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for one's own use, just like directing the slutty servants in the family. With more people doing things for you, the power will naturally be greater." After that, he looked around proudly and sat down slowly.
Everyone thought he was showing off his family background and didn't talk. Zhou Zhe just smiled slightly and said, "The words are rough but the truth is rough. It's almost the same reason, but the pattern is a little smaller. I'll ask you in the first article, is it you powerful or the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?"
Jiang Chuwen curled his lips and replied, "Of course it is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, otherwise why can I practice it?"
Zhou Zhe continued to ask, "Since it is more powerful, how can you force it to be controlled by you?"
"In terms of strength, I am much bigger than this kid. He can't even control me and wants to control the vitality of heaven and earth?" Dong Erpang laughed loudly. Most of the children laughed out loud, while a few gathered around the Dong brothers and glared at them.
Panlong Academy does not distinguish between children's family background when it comes to school. As long as they are diligent and studious, they are talented, no matter they are high-ranking officials, rich people or ordinary people, they will not refuse anyone. Therefore, in Zhou Zhe's academic hall, there are both young men from wealthy families like the Jiang brothers, students from ordinary families like Zhao Xifeng and Li Xuan, and children from Dong Erpang with military background. Because of their different family backgrounds, people from several sides are not close to each other, so they naturally embrace each other in small groups, and never ruthless when they have the opportunity to suppress another wave of students.
In addition to Gu Qingyuan, every wave of people is full of favor and awe for this young genius who already has a gentleman style.
At this time, Jiang Chuwen's face turned red and he couldn't speak. Two groups of children were laughing and mocking, or glaring. Just when they were having a big fuss, they suddenly heard Zhao Xifeng say coldly in the corner: "Everything is quiet! Listen to Teacher Zhou!"
After Master Xifeng said something, the audience was silent in an instant.
Zhou Zhe sighed slightly and continued, "Many years ago, my master told me that heaven and earth have righteous energy, mixed with manifolds. It means that the spiritual energy in this world exists in all things in the world, nourishing a part of water and soil, and nurturing various creatures. What we practitioners must do before practicing is to have awe of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
Jiang Chuwen lowered his head in shame, Zhou Zhe smiled gently at him, and then said, "In fact, the practitioners are like this kite."
As he spoke, he pointed his hand at the invisible clouds, and the students followed his fingers and looked up at the sky, "How high can a kite fly? First, it depends on the strength of the kite itself. Whether it is strong or not. Some kites are not built firmly and are naturally incomplete. They dissipate when the wind blows. Similarly, a strong body and abundant essence and blood are the prerequisites for how far a person can go on the road of cultivation."
Dong Erpang asked excitedly: "Mr. Zhou, my parents and the uncles and uncles of Zhenbeijun all said that I am strong and tight. Do you think I am a genius of cultivation?"
Everyone burst into laughter, but Zhou Zhe answered seriously: "General Dong has taught you the fists and legs in the army since he was a child. Your foundation is naturally good. Coupled with the influence of the eleventh star tide, every student can be regarded as a rare little genius in our Great Zhou Dynasty in this regard." Speaking of this, Zhou Zhe turned his eyes to the child who was born with exhaustion of essence and blood during the first test by Zheng Yanji of Huangji. When he saw Zhao Xifeng sitting upright, he heard it very seriously and felt a little unbearable.
When the students heard Zhou Zhe's words, their excitement was beyond words. However, Zhou Zhe's subsequent words made everyone a little worried. He took off the kite that was originally tied to the peach branch and held it in his hand, and circled the recycling line, while slowly saying: "Of course, a strong body is not enough. As the first article said, it is extremely important for every practitioner to resonate with the essence of heaven and earth. The key to the resonance of heaven and earth is the will and spirit of each of you. Only with absolutely strong will can you walk on the road of cultivation in a balanced and stable manner, just like the connection of this kite. After all, no matter how high you fly, you will still land."
The students nodded one after another. For children in their teenage years old, these simplest principles in the world of cultivation are still a bit difficult to understand. They just felt that as Zhou Zhe slowly took back the kite, the distance between heaven and earth seemed to be much closer than before, and even felt a little urgency.
Gu Qingyuan felt the surroundings silently. When Zhou Zhe started to release the kite, there seemed to be some subtle changes in the air. After a while, he asked, "I dare to ask, what is the third element of practice besides physical essence, blood, will and spirit?"
"The third is the environment of practice," Zhou Zhe naturally realized that Gu Qingyuan was the first to experience the abnormal flow of the heaven and earth energy. He freed up a hand and touched Gu Qingyuan's head with approval, and continued: "The kite does not fly without wind, and the wind will collapse. The same is true for practice. The spiritual energy in the world is unstable, just like the wind and clouds come. Unless you have a stable spiritual energy that communicates with the heaven and earth, finding a place with abundant and peaceful spiritual energy is the necessary preparation for every practitioner before entering the Tao, just like this, this place, this moment."
Unconsciously, Zhou Zhe took back the last leash, placed a huge kite at hand, raised his hand to signal the students to look around.
Li Xuan was already confused about the teaching department's lecture and was still in a shallow sense. At this moment, Zhou Zhe signaled to react first, looked up, and then covered her mouth with a "ah", unable to believe the scene in front of her!
It turned out that when Zhou Zhe was recycling the kites, he actually brought the white clouds covering the sky that the kites flew into to the world! The students were carried out by Li Xuan's thoughts, and then stood up in horror. The fog around them was misty, like a fairyland, the rain, dew, rainbows, and even the birds and rays that accidentally entered it were pulled by Zhou Zhe with a silk thread and dragged into Panlong Town from the nine heavens!
Faced with such a miraculous Taoist Dharma, Zhao Xifeng and others were shocked and speechless for a long time.
Zhou Zhe said in a gentle voice: "This is the result of the communication between the practitioners and heaven and earth. Eleven years ago, you were baptized by heaven and were filled with essence and blood than ordinary people. In the past three months, I used the mountain and sea gourds to hit your mind while letting Master Qian teach you primary school, and work together to train your will. At the same time, the mountain and sea gourds also have the effect of attracting the spirit and calming the spirit. Now, your body, spirit, environment, and all three are all, and this cloud is giving you goals and motivation. In the next practice, my role is just a step-by-step teacher. What kind of achievements can be achieved depends on your efforts and luck."
Everyone looked at Mr. Jiasi blankly, and more than half of them knew what Zhou Zhe said today, and they couldn't pay attention to it. They only felt that the fact that Baiyun descended to the earth was too horrible. They made up their minds to study hard in the future and learn the skills of their husbands. The children who understood Zhou Zhe's words sat cross-legged in thought, confirming what they felt by the mountains and sea gourds with what they had heard today, seeking to enter the Tao, Zhao Xifeng, Gu Qingyuan, and the Jiang brothers and Dong Erpang were the same. Zhou Zhe stood by and protected the students with a smile of relief on his face.
An hour later, the white clouds began to slowly dissipate, the birds returned to the sky, the rain and dew and the rays of the clouds also lost their support, and disappeared from everyone's sight. Gu Qingyuan turned over and tidied up his clothes and confirmed that there was no rudeness at all, and came to Zhou Zhe, bowed deeply, and held the disciple's courtesy.
"How?" Zhou Zhe turned his head and smiled.
"Sir, the student wants to go home, and try to ask for a sip of water in the gourd."
"Now?"
"It's now." Gu Qingyuan looked calm and firm.
