Strange Sequence: Longevity from Guoshu

Chapter 263 "Tai Su" practice, Zhanyuan College serves as deputy principal

Jiang You began to practice the "Tai Su" technique. This technique has a distinct style of the pre-Qin Qi practitioners, focusing on cultivating one's own state of mind. His wife's spirit is so clear, but her heart is disturbed; her heart is so quiet, but she wants to be touched. Of.

If you want to improve your mental power, start from the heart, let go of your desires and make your heart calm, clear your heart and your spirit will be pure, to achieve the goal of "the heart has no heart", "the form has no form", "things have no other things", "only what is seen is "empty" realm.

However, the existence of "empty" is not complete. We must also "observe emptiness and emptiness", "what is emptiness is nothing" and "nothing is nothing" can achieve "absolute peace and eternal silence".

"If there is no silence, how can desire arise? If desire does not arise, it is true tranquility." Until you enter the realm of "always quietness," you will "gradually enter the true way."

As the saying goes, "The truth always responds to things, the truth always obtains nature; the truth always responds and is always quiet, and is always pure and quiet."

In this way, spiritual power can naturally be cultivated.

This state of constant tranquility is one level deeper than the sitting and forgetting that Jiang You has already understood. Sitting and forgetting is entering samadhi, and constant tranquility is constant concentration.

Jiang You followed the instructions in the exercise method and first entered the state of sitting and forgetfulness before starting to practice.

As he kept trying, he gradually found the state and entered a stable state. The state was not very stable and kept intermittent, but even so, he could already feel that his spiritual spring water was still bubbling, as if there was a clear spring. Just like new spring water is constantly emerging, although the spiritual power does not rise as fast as the purple energy collected by oneself, it is more valuable in the long term. After three hours, the increased spiritual spring water can already be worth the total growth of the purple energy collected last time. quantity.

In the days that followed, Jiang You only did two things. He practiced Tai Su and collected Zi Qi to increase his spiritual power, and he practiced Chang Sheng Qi to open up the Niwan Cave.

It wasn't until the Niwan Cave expanded by [-]%, and the amount of longevity energy needed to continue opening it reached an astonishing amount, that Jiang You began to practice other practices.

During the day, he spent his mental energy to perfect the Henglian force-relieving network on his body. At night, he kept copying and carving the Dongwang Stone Tablet in his mind. After emptying the spiritual spring water, it happened to be daybreak, and he was just in time to collect purple energy. Then practice Taisu until noon, when the spiritual spring water has been replenished to [-]%, and then continue to repeat the above practice.

Jiang You devotes every minute and every second of his 24 hours a day to practicing.

Until Song Shan came to him and said that the construction of the school had been completed, Jiang Tianci had also reported the name of the school, and Jiang You needed to make a decision.

Jiang You heard that it was his grandfather who decided it personally. After signing, he looked at the name: Zhanyuan College.

The origin of the name on the document is taken from Chapter 4 of the Tao Te Ching.

When the road rushes and is used, it may not be full, and the abyss is like the origin of all things.

Frustrating its sharpness, resolving its disputes, and its light, and its dust.

Zhan Xi seems to exist, I don't know whose son is the first of Xiang Emperor.

It contains three meanings: it will not be full once it is washed away, so it will not be full after use, and it will continue to grow.Secondly, the light and the dust are the same. The righteous path is allied with Buddha, Taoism, and secularism. When they come together, there will inevitably be friction. It is the right time to get along with the light and the dust.Thirdly, Zhanyuan, the sect of all things, may or may not exist. It clearly states the purpose of running a school and has many teaching categories. The school has a weak sense of existence and its purpose is simple and does not involve the righteous alliance.

Jiang You was originally worried that his grandfather would give him a name with a distinctive Confucian flavor. After seeing the word "Zhan Yuan", he felt relieved, seeing that his grandfather had put a lot of effort into his name.

After the name of the school was finalized, there was still a ribbon-cutting ceremony that required Jiang You to attend. If there were other ribbon-cuttings, they would naturally be blocked here in Songshan, but this school is already regarded as Jiang Tianci's business, so of course Jiang You has to be present.

The time is tomorrow, Jiang You and Song Shan will take a helicopter to the Black Forest immediately.

At this time, all the subsequent armed helicopters from the Third Investigation Bureau have arrived, and Jiang You can also have his own special plane.

In addition to Jiang You and Song Shan, there were also Song Shan's two assistant secretaries on the helicopter. As mentioned before, the administrative secretary has a very high level and can be regarded as serving the leader. Of course, this trip will not be simple. There are many chores to do after the ribbon-cutting, so taking the team with you can also share Song Shan’s work pressure.

On the plane, Jiang You did not speak, and the others remained silent. Soon they arrived at the black forest. Jiang You looked down from the air and saw that the yin energy here was getting stronger. The trees were nourished by the yin energy, and their colors changed. It also became pitch black, as the name suggests.

The plane entered the forest, flew for a while, and saw a large area of ​​brand-new school buildings in the depths. The buildings were not high, and the tallest administrative building was only six floors.

The plane landed on the apron on the roof of the administrative building. When we came down, we were greeted by lecturers from the school. From the lecturers, we could see the organizations they belonged to. Those wearing black combat uniforms, those wearing monk robes with rosary beads, and those wearing monastic robes. Sword.

After Jiang You came down, he was taken to the principal's office.

After entering the door, I saw that the principal's office was very small, filled with a desk, a bookcase, and a sofa.

Jiang Tianci was wearing an off-white coat, and it looked like he came from an embroidery workshop. He was frowning and writing something at his desk with a pen. When he saw Jiang You coming in, he smiled and said, "Oh, the leader of Yama is here to inspect the work!"

Seeing that his grandfather was in a good mood, Jiang You joked with himself and followed suit, "Of course, with so much manpower and material resources invested, there will always be results. I'm here specifically to set teaching tasks for you!"

"You bastard, you've set the record straight for me!"

"Hahaha, you started it first."

Jiang You hadn't seen Jiang Tianci for more than a year, and he felt particularly friendly at this time. Jiang You sat on the sofa next to him, and the two chatted for a while.

"Look at this document. What do you think?"

Jiang Tianci handed the document he had just written to Jiang You, and Jiang You took it and took a look.

"In the "Recommendations on Accepting Students from Society", Jiang Tianci wants to allocate part of each family's staff share to recruit students from society. The age limit is 36 years old and there is no vicious criminal record."

"This is different from what was decided at the previous meeting. The quotas allocated to everyone are very tight. Although there are many resources, they are still limited after all. Do other organizations know about this?"

"Not yet." Jiang Tianci glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, "The final meeting will be held in half an hour, and I plan to bring it up at that time for everyone to discuss!"

"The ribbon will be cut tomorrow. At this juncture, even if it is unanimously approved, there is no time to publicize it. I read the documents when I came. Several students sent by them and survivors from Xianyang City have all moved into the school building. Each family The dispatched lecturers are already in place. After the ribbon-cutting, school will officially start. It’s too late!”

"As for the second batch of enrollment, it doesn't matter if you take a month or two at night."

"This won't be easy to drive!"

"It's just not easy to open, so I specially asked you to come here. Do you think that calling you here is just to cut the ribbon? At the meeting later, you, Yama, will set an example first and give up [-]% of the quota!"

Jiang Tianci waved his hand and directly assigned the task to Jiang You. Jiang You smiled bitterly, "Okay, the teaching task is assigned to me."

But he also knew that Jiang Tianci did this just to give ordinary people in society a way to rise, and he had no objection.When the time was almost up, the two went to the conference room for a meeting.

After entering, everyone had already arrived in advance. Also present were Chiyun, Qingfengzi, Fazhao, Wu Yang, the section chief of the first section of the Third Investigation Bureau, and other people Jiang You had met for the first time. He should be Zhengdao. Several other representatives of the alliance.

After everyone saw Jiang You, they stood up to greet him.

After sitting down, the meeting officially started.

The main topic of this meeting is about the personal safety of students during the entrance examination.

The reason why the school was chosen to be located in the Black Forest was because the area was rich in yin and had a large number of zombies breeding there. It could just provide a training ground for students, and there were also yin elixirs growing around it, which would be good for basic students. Cultivation resources are also a supplement.

The trial is only for the survivors of Xianyang City, and the training disciples of various sects are not included in this.

The process is very simple, just divide everyone into teams, enter the black forest from the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest, find the location of the school from the zombies wandering in it and enter.

If you want to enroll, you must first be able to get in.

"Our Yuquan Institute can provide simple amulets and flashing charms. The amulets can withstand Bai Zheng's three attacks! After three times, after the amulet is broken, the flashing charms will be activated."

"We at Wanshou Palace are responsible for bringing failed candidates out of the Black Forest in a timely manner."

Everyone settled this matter with just one word.

Then Jiang Tianci glanced at Jiang You, put the document he had just written on the table, and said this.

As expected, everyone was in an uproar. Jiang You knew that he needed to stand up now and expressed his stance immediately.

"Young Master Jiang, this is a serious matter. Should I wait until I ask the Fifth Master before making a decision?"

"No, I have full authority to make decisions on behalf of Yama. Since everyone is a representative, I believe that we can make the decision on this small matter. Otherwise, we would not be here. I solemnly state my position here. Regardless of whether everyone agrees or not, Yama will come up with a decision." The quota will be open to members of the public!"

Several representatives thought to themselves that this was a power given by Yama to confirm the absolute leadership of the school?So you use this matter to test us?Why else would it be brought up before the ribbon-cutting?
They considered many issues and were silent for a while.

Fazhao's brain was quickly calculating, and he calculated the specific price that he would have to pay after giving [-]% of the quota. After weighing it, he felt that he could accept it, and he immediately expressed his support at the meeting.

At the beginning of Fazhao, Wu Yang quickly followed. Qingfengzi and Chiyun struggled for a while, not knowing from which aspect they considered it, and agreed.

Huayan Sect and Embroidery Workshop sent a middle-aged monk and a woman in her early thirties. Seeing that everyone agreed, even if she opposed it, it would be useless, so they voted unanimously.

Next comes the publicity matter, which is quite simple. The publicity matters for the Righteous Alliance and the Trading Center are being planned. When the time comes, just add this matter to the list.

After the meeting, Jiang Tianci took Jiang You to visit the school. The male and female school buildings, teaching buildings, training grounds, fighting arenas, etc. were all available. The underground space had the same layout as above. There were four underground exits leading directly to the Black Forest. of depth.

As a place for elite disciples to study, they are not mixed with ordinary people.

On the way, Jiang Tianci also introduced the plan of Zhanyuan College to Jiang You in detail.

It is divided into two houses: the inner house is for elite disciples, and the outer house recruits ordinary people.

According to reports from several organizations, the courses are divided into martial arts, alchemy, feng shui, weapon refining, spells, talismans, and swordsmanship.

Lecturers and department heads are already in place, a total of 28 people. Those who just held the meeting are all vice principals. Jiang You also took the title of vice principal on behalf of Yan Luo.

Regardless of the elite disciples' further studies, the academic system for ordinary disciples is divided into three years. Newbies can only choose one department to study. They will be ranked according to their performance and will be awarded credits. After the credits reach a certain level, they can purchase qualifications to study other departments.

All students are issued basic credits every month, and the credits can be used to purchase corresponding training materials and the right to use training facilities.

In addition to academic performance, credits are obtained through competitions held at the end of each year. Students from all departments in the same grade are ranked in actual competition, and credits are obtained based on the ranking.

Pay the spiritual items in exchange for credits based on the value of the spiritual items. The task hall is opened in the second grade. The school above releases tasks and students can collect them freely. After completing them, they will receive credits.

Award credits for making significant contributions to society and the school.

Jiang Tianci is very strict about the design of credits. Apart from these few points, there is no other way to obtain credits. While issuing credits, he is also thinking of ways to consume credits for students, so that they are always in a stretched state. As soon as students enter school, they have to study hard and work hard for credits.

After Jiang You heard this, he suggested adding another one. Conflicts between students should not be dealt with in private. The school would set up a special arena. After charging both parties a certain amount of credits, the arena would allow them to set a credit lottery, and other students could also make free bets.

Jiang Tianci was worried that this would encourage gambling, but Jiang You persuaded him on the grounds that the cultivation of one's mind is a large part of the road to seeking.

The two walked all the way from the ground to the underground, and then walked out from the east exit of the underground to the depths of the black forest.

Jiang Tianci said that he was taking Jiang You to a place. When the two of them walked to a cave in the mountains, they found that a large formation had been set up inside, and two Yamas were guarding it. When they saw the two coming, they bowed and retreated.

"what is this?"

"The reason why Yin Qi is constantly emerging in the Black Forest is because there is a ghost cave underground here. Come here."

Jiang Tianci took him deeper into the formation, and saw a stone well inside. A money sword tied with a red rope hung from the well mouth, and it was surrounded by dense talismans.

As soon as Jiang You saw the stone well, he noticed that the Yin Qi was constantly coming out of it. He walked to the edge of the well and looked down. There was a bottomless black hole inside. A white light flew out of Jiang You's eyes, piercing it continuously. Darkness looked down, and after the white light was consumed all by itself, he still couldn't see the bottom.

"We have used various methods to detect, but we have not been able to find out how deep this well is. It seems to be a passage leading to another world!"

Jiang Tianci explained to him beside him.
