I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

Chapter 145 Zhao Qi preaches
When all the practitioners came to the platform, they already saw Zhao Qi sitting quietly in front of the platform.

Zhao Qi was dressed in white and sat cross-legged on a high platform. The sunlight was shining on him, making him look like an ancient Buddha that had stood here unchanged for thousands of years.

At this moment, all the practitioners subconsciously closed their mouths and refused to make any sound, for fear of disturbing the tranquility at this moment.

Everyone stood on the platform, not daring to act rashly for a moment, and just stood so quietly.

Fortunately, Zhao Qi opened his eyes slightly after a moment. After seeing everyone, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"sit……"

Zhao Qi's voice seemed to carry a special power. When this word reached everyone's ears, everyone suddenly felt refreshed, and all the fatigue along the way was swept away at this moment.

Everyone followed what Zhao Qi said and sat down quietly with their legs crossed, looking up at Zhao Qi who was sitting on the high platform. This scene was very much like the sermon scenes described in all the scrolls.

"The Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao, and the name can be named, but it is not named. The beginning of the nameless world, the name of the mother of all things..."

In his first sermon to practitioners, Zhao Qi began with the most familiar text, the Tao Te Ching.

His voice was not loud, but it spread clearly to every corner.

His eyes revealed a mysterious wisdom, as if he could see into everyone's heart.

"You can think of Tao as a rule that forms a circle between heaven and earth. All things live within this rule, and all living things have Tao.

Now that everyone has entered Taoism and stepped through the door of this metaphysical academy, they have officially become practitioners.

In addition to the various subjects of daily study, I also hope that everyone can have a deeper understanding of Tao. "

While talking, Zhao Qi slowly opened his palms. In everyone's surprised eyes, a flower actually bloomed in Zhao Qi's palms.

But soon the flower withered again in an instant. The withered petals fell on Zhao Qi's hand and gradually disappeared. But where the petals gradually fell, new flowers bloomed again.

“The alternation of the sun and the moon is the Tao, and the falling and blooming of flowers is also the Tao.

In essence, whether it is innate energy or gestation, it is a part of our body before it is acquired, and it is also the opposite side of yin and yang.

To give the simplest example, let's take the basic Taoist magic palm thunder.

The innate Qi is the Qi of heaven and earth, and the acquired Qi is the Qi of nurturing.

There is no difference in the essence of the two. Therefore, there is actually a world hidden in the human body. The thunder in the palm that we can activate is triggered from this world in the body. "

As soon as the words fell, the flowers in Zhao Qi's hand were instantly destroyed by thunder. Strong electric light lingered around Chao Qi, causing all the practitioners to leave their sight and choose to avoid the sharp edge temporarily.

"But if the thunder in the palm can be fully realized and can activate the innate Qi through the acquired Qi, then the power you can exert is not just as simple as the power in the body."

Zhao Qi made a hand seal with his hands. The originally cloudless sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. During the lightning and thunder, a huge coercion fell on every practitioner, making them feel even more shocked.

This process did not last long, Zhao Qi just waved his hand, and everything returned to normal in a short time.

“It’s still too early for you to pursue what Tao is.

The purpose of everyone's practice does not need to be so mysterious and mysterious from the beginning. After all, even Lao Tzu did not clarify in the end whether the Tao exists based on the river or where it depends.

The goal you have to set for your practice now is the end of the world in four years. During this period, the more power you can master will become the foundation for protecting yourself and others. "

The expressions of all the practitioners present began to become solemn.

As Zhao Qi said, when they first entered cultivation, they never thought about becoming immortals or transcending the immortal world.

All they want to do is to take destiny into their own hands and reverse the inevitable future of mankind.

On this trail, Zhao Qi re-established the direction of practice for all the practitioners, which also gave them great motivation. In the following practice, this motivation will also support them to go further and further.

During the hour or so that Zhao Qi was preaching, all the practitioners felt that they had entered a very special state.

At this moment, they seemed to be connected to everything in the world. However, in the process of preaching, Zhao Qi had been spreading his power intentionally or unintentionally, and was also invisibly raising the upper limit of the cultivation of all practitioners. .

The practitioners who can come to the Mysterious Academy are elites selected from tens of thousands of people. The first criterion for them to enter the Mysterious Academy is to be able to sense the existence of Qi. This state was named Sensing by Zhao Qi. spirit.

Zhao Qi's sermon did not last long because he knew that the practitioners needed time to digest his words and understand their profound meaning.

He smiled gently, closed his eyes again, and sat quietly on the podium.

The practitioners sat silently below, their hearts filled with shock and awe.

Zhao Qi's words were like a key, opening up their understanding of Tao and stimulating their enthusiasm for practice.

They began to understand that practice is not only about improving strength, but also about understanding and exploring oneself and the world.

After Zhao Qi's sermon ended, the practitioners did not leave immediately.

They were still immersed in Zhao Qi's words, trying to draw more wisdom from them.

They began to think about their future and how to better control their own destiny.

Zhao Qi looked at them, feeling filled with relief.

He knew that these young practitioners would become the hope of the future and they would use their power to change the world.

"Remember, you are cultivators. Your path is difficult, but your responsibilities are also great."

Zhao Qi's voice sounded again. This was his last instruction to the practitioners.

The practitioners nodded in unison, their eyes full of firmness and determination.

They are ready to face the challenges ahead.

Zhao Qi looked at them with a smile, knowing that he had completed his mission.He hopes that these young practitioners can take his teachings and find their own path to create a better future.

……

With Zhao Qi's trail this time, the practitioners began to be more attentive in the subsequent training of other events, and their beliefs became stronger.

In the Talisman Pavilion, the academicians were explaining more advanced Talismans. The practitioners were taking notes carefully and conducting tests on imaginary enemies in class.

When the Mysterious Academy was first established, special formations were set up in each classroom.

At this moment, as the academician mobilized the formation, all the practitioners' eyes flashed. In just a blink of an eye, they found themselves in a land of nothingness.

Under the scorching heat, not a single blade of grass grows in this area, and magma can still be seen flowing under the violent ground.

More and more bloody figures crawled out of the ground and approached these practitioners. This was the target of their training.

"This is."

The practitioners looked at the scene before them in astonishment, and their hearts were filled with shock.

"This is the enemy we face as humans."

The voice of the teaching academician suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, surprising the practitioners.

"Although these enemies are not real, within this formation, they can cause substantial harm to you.

But at the same time, they also give us the opportunity to grow and the possibility of transcending ourselves. "

Zhao Qi's figure slowly emerged in the void. He looked at each practitioner with eyes full of expectation.

"These enemies created by the formation are replicas of the power we ran through the research on the demonic remains of Dongshan Prefecture.

The enemies you have encountered so far are only one-tenth of the overall strength of the monsters that invaded Dongshan State back then.Your mission is to protect our world, our relatives and friends. "

The eyes of the practitioners are full of determination and determination.They know that this is their responsibility and what they must do.

"Now, you need to use the knowledge you have learned to fight against these enemies. Remember, every battle is a test of yourself and a sharpening of your practice."

After the academician finished speaking, the practitioners immediately took action.They began to use what they had learned and began to fight against these ethereal figures.

The academician stood quietly aside, looking at these young practitioners with relief in his eyes.

……

In the following days, the study in the Mysterious Academy became more intense, but the practitioners' enthusiasm for learning did not diminish.

They work hard every day to practice, whether it's spelling, Taoism, or refining elixirs to reach the gods.

Zhao Qi has been accompanying them during this process. He often comes to explain some difficult problems to them and often comes to encourage them.His presence makes every practitioner full of strength.

When all the practitioners have completed the training of basic techniques, they can finally be handed over to the team members.

On this day, Zhang Zhenshan and his team members stood at the platform, waiting for the arrival of the practitioners.

After this period of training, their bodies already have some dusty air.

When the practitioners curiously gathered around the platform and stood in front of the team members, they also looked at these people curiously. From the first day they came to the Mysterious Academy, they noticed that these people were always following Zhao Qi. around.

But in such a long period of study, I have never seen these people come to teach, so everyone is quite curious about the identities of these people.

After everyone had arrived, Zhang Zhenshan took a step forward and swept over everyone present with a stern expression, and then said slowly:
"Dear fellow Taoists, during the three months of study in the Mysterious Academy, you have mastered the basic knowledge of magic and have the qualifications to become a true practitioner.

Next, your study plan will be handed over to us. Each of us here represents a different path of tree cultivation.

Next, I hope to discover your talents and find a suitable direction for your practice.

I hope that everyone is not just a practitioner, but also a warrior, a warrior who can stand up and protect others in dangerous moments. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhenshan pointed his sword in the sky and drew a talisman, which instantly triggered the golden talisman between heaven and earth, and several dragons wandered between the heaven and the earth.He said solemnly:
"What I represent is the talisman method, which is based on talismans. The talismans reach the sky and all dharma are unified. This power originates from heaven and earth and has existed since ancient times."

The practitioners were astonished. They had never seen such power before. The strength displayed by Zhang Zhenshan was completely different from their previous basic training.

They exchanged glances with each other, filled with awe and anticipation.

Then Wang Wuchen took a step forward, raised his foot and stepped lightly on the ground, and a light blue shock suddenly appeared in it.

The five elements of directions move around one after another, and the eight directions are dazzling.

He said in a deep voice:
"What I represent is a formation based on the horoscope. Using the formation to create a world of its own. In the formation, everything is possible."

The ancient sword in Zhang Lingyuan's hand released scorching heat. As the Shoulder Dragon appeared, Zhang Lingyuan's whole body exuded an ancient aura.

In front of the practitioners, they seemed to see a huge pressure, which made their breathing difficult.

Zhang Lingyuan said with firm eyes: "This is the power of blood martial arts!"

The three people's successive displays shocked the practitioners, and they all subconsciously focused their attention on the one-armed Li Wanran.

Li Wanran was still holding the wine gourd. When he saw that everyone was looking towards him, he immediately waved his hands coolly:
"I'm not as flashy as they are. I'm all conspicuous. I have this sword. To put it nicely, it's called kendo."

While talking, Li Wanran swung his sword casually, and this sword sutra suddenly set off a strong wind, and the stone lion next to the practitioner was cut in half by this sword.The power of this sword amazed everyone.

The four people respectively represent the four paths of cultivation, and the power they display has also aroused great interest among the practitioners.

But they are not able to make a choice just by what they like. Instead, they have to go through some tests by four people. They will only select those who are suitable and talented to take this path of cultivation from among these 1 people.

There is no way to save those who have no predestined relationship, especially the matter of spiritual practice, which cannot be forced.This is the principle they adhere to, and it is also their reverence and respect for spiritual practice.

After the presentation on the platform, Zhang Zhenshan, Wang Wuchen, Zhang Lingyuan and Li Wanran stood neatly on the stage with firm eyes and a rainbow of momentum.

They faced the practitioners in the audience and said passionately:

"You are the hope of the Mysterious Academy and the future of our country. You need to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the world, your relatives, and your friends.

Now, choose your path and start your spiritual journey! "

The practitioners were inspired and began to face the four team members and the assessment set for them.

Some practitioners began to use the captive method in front of Zhang Zhenshan, hoping to get Zhang Zhenshan's approval.

Some practitioners came to Wang Wuchen, and Wang Wuchen only had one request, that is, they must set up a formation that is enough to satisfy him.

As for the taciturn Zhang Lingyuan, the assessment method is even simpler, that is, all practitioners who want to take this path attack him, and as long as they can touch the person in clothes, they will pass.

Only when Li Wanran came here, he did not set any difficult problems for the practitioners, nor did he let them perform any display of strength.

Looking at the hundreds of practitioners standing in front of him, Li Wanran waved his hand, and the academicians behind him brought wine bottles.

"One person per person, chatting while drinking."

The practitioners who didn't know why naturally didn't dare to refuse. Even those who didn't drink on weekdays couldn't help but frown at this moment and forced themselves to take a few sips.

Seeing that several other team members and practitioners had begun various tests, the group of practitioners who were preparing to follow Li Wanran looked at a loss.

Seemingly noticing their curious and confused looks, Li Wanran finally said:
"Do you know why I let you drink?
Because the path of swordsmanship is not as mysterious as their talismans and formations, and the talent requirements are actually not as demanding as theirs.

Swordsmanship requires not talent but heart, so whether you can achieve success on this path does not depend on how advanced your swordsmanship is, but on your character. "

While talking, Li Wanran slowly stretched out his remaining arm, pointing his sword in front of him:
"Once you have cultivated this heart, you can still kill without a sword in your hand."

After the words fell, Li Wanran's sword finger flew out into the air. At that moment, in the eyes of the practitioners, he seemed to be holding a sharp sword in his hand.

"Crack!"

A big tree not far away was broken in the middle, and the cut at the broken place was very smooth.

The practitioners' eyes widened one after another. They froze in place for a long time before looking at Li Wanran again.

“Do you understand now, if you want to take this path, I won’t set any tests for you.

This path may be said to be easy or difficult. If you want to achieve great success in the way of swordsmanship, you must first cut off your own seven passions.

When the mind is peaceful, the sword is sharp; when the mind is calm, the sword is sharp. "

The practitioners nodded one after another and cultivated unique teaching methods, which indeed gave them more insights into the way of the sword.

Zhao Qi, who was not far away, watched this scene with his hands behind his back. Kang Lei beside him was already smiling from ear to ear.

"Your team members are really all different. Some are calm, decisive, and some are confusing."

Zhao Qi smiled and nodded:
"Indeed, the four of them have their own characteristics, but they are all very good practitioners. Their existence makes me full of expectations for the future practice world."

Having said this, Zhao Qi suddenly turned his head and looked at Kang Lei: "Brother Kang, what do you think?"

Kang Lei smiled and said: "I think the four of them are like the four parts of a sharp sword, and it can't work without anyone.

And our mission is to help them sharpen their swords and make them stronger. "

The figures of the two talking were stretched by the setting sun. This scene seemed to be frozen for a long time, more like the handover of two eras...
