Immortality is above

Chapter 144 Chapter 143: Rumors turned invisible

In the first class, Chen Liubai lectured for about an hour. Afterwards, the lecture became smoother and smoother.

Although the content of the narration is not novel, it is informative and rich, and it also contains a lot of his personal experience in the realm of martial arts.

Cultivation is divided into stages, and it is not advisable to try to force something to grow. The best is the one that is suitable.

Chen Liubai believes that these classroom contents will definitely be beneficial to young people who are in the first stage of "refining Qi" as long as they listen to it and learn according to the method.

But by this time, there were only about a dozen students left in the originally crowded courtyard, which looked sparse and shabby.

It is undoubtedly embarrassing for a teacher to give a lecture but not receive support and welcome from the students.

What's more, it is a new professor who is starting classes now.

After this incident, I believe that various rumors will soon spread, and the future of the reopened Taoist Temple will inevitably be cast into a haze.

Gu Yuan had been secretly observing the whole process. He originally thought that Chen Liubai would gradually lose control of his inner anger, and then get furious and explode.

Young people, most of them young and energetic, cannot accept such embarrassment.

The core of "education" has two aspects, one is "teaching and guiding"; the other is "subtle influence".

When he comes to give lectures, he is just fulfilling his duty of teaching. Whether students come to listen and whether they listen carefully or not is someone else's business.

As long as you teach seriously and don't teach the wrong things, you will have a clear conscience.

Chen Liubai replied: "Tomorrow, at the same time, I will lecture for three days in a row."

It’s easy to talk about nourishing Qi, but when things really happen, with a little provocation, the spirit will come out loudly.

Especially a scene like this, with obvious traces of artificial arrangement, it was clear that someone was up to something.

"Great."

Soon a student asked: "Master, when will the next class be held?"

Some of the students who persisted until the end listened very carefully, took out pens, ink and paper, and wrote quickly and took notes.

They have not been specially trained and appear uneven, but they are showing their sincerity.

To people with a certain level of cultivation, it may sound superficial, but for young students with weak foundations to learn it, it is just right and can lay a good foundation.

The knowledge about spiritual practice is very intuitive. Whether it is useful or not can be used. As long as you listen carefully, keep it in mind, and then test it, you can get the result.

How can you endure it?
However, what surprised him was that from beginning to end, Chen Liubai looked calm and unaffected at all.

More than a dozen young people stood up to express their gratitude.

"Thank you, Lord Jiaoyu."

Not to mention anything else, this Qi-nourishing skill alone is extraordinary.

These students all looked excited and very happy.

Little did he know that Chen Liubai's ideological form didn't care about this at all.

"Okay, that's it for today's class, get out of class is over."

In particular, Chen Liubai's narration is simple and easy to understand.

Even Gu Yuan, who was listening intently, unknowingly listened in. After careful consideration in his mind, he found that if the Qi and blood were circulated according to what Chen Liubai said, regardless of the twelve regular meridians or the eight extraordinary meridians, You can avoid detours and achieve good results:

"Did he really teach the cultivation method on the mountain? Even if it is just a basic formula, it is far from a secret, but if it is placed in Gaohua City, it is still a secret book of extraordinary value..."

Gu Yuan rubbed his hands a little belatedly, feeling regretful: he should have been paying attention to the lecture just now.

In that case, why did you miss so much?

In his current situation, the energy and blood in his meridians have long been determined and difficult to change. However, the recorded methods can be used for the younger generations in the family to learn. Isn't it equivalent to receiving the teachings of a famous teacher?

That's right, I have to let my incompetent son come and listen to tomorrow's class...

Chen Liubai ignored his thoughts and left the Taoist temple on his rouge horse, returning to the teaching office.

In the evening, Lao Ding ran over with an angry look on his face: "Sir, there are a lot of rumors outside, criticizing the class you took today. There are many criticisms." Chen Liubai asked: "What kind of criticism?"

"Some said that you came to give lectures out of necessity, because you couldn't recruit Taoist teachers, so you had to give the lecture in person, doing it perfunctorily, just to show off; others said that you don't understand lectures; and still others said that what you taught It is unrealistic and misleading, so please don’t listen to it again.”

"that's it?"

Lao Ding hurriedly said: "Sir, this is all slander. As the saying goes, 'A crowd of words makes gold', so you need to be careful."

Chen Liubai chuckled: "I can't kill them all with their mouths on their faces."

Hearing the word "kill", Old Ding couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat. He vaguely felt that Master Jiaozhi's words were not meant as a joke. He quickly said: "Sir, these rumors are obviously someone fanning the flames. They don't want to see it." Go to the Taoist Temple to reopen."

Chen Liubai asked: "Who is the 'someone' you are talking about?"

Old Ding thought for a while and finally made up his mind: "All the side families are suspected, especially those who open martial arts schools. The existence of the Taoist Academy will take away their business opportunities."

It is not free for young people to enter the Taoist academy to study, but they have to pay a certain amount of training, but it is not much and is much lower than that of martial arts schools outside.

The threshold is low, you can learn skills, and you are not bound by various gang rules like joining a sect...

No matter how you look at it, Taoist temples are the best choice for ordinary families.

Once launched that year, it was immediately warmly welcomed by the public and became very popular;
Only later, the situation changed. Many of the major Xuanmen sects were no longer willing to send their handsome disciples down the mountain to become Taoist masters. Even if it was hindered by the Taoist law, they just sent people over casually to deal with the problem.

But in class, it's just a matter of following the script, teaching some old-fashioned cultivation content, and then forget about it.

During this period, if a good seedling with good qualifications is found, we will try our best to bring the person back to the mountain gate and hand it over to the sect for training.

This approach seems to be to discover talents, but in fact it is for personal gain, which has violated the original intention of establishing the Taoist Academy.

Over time, the Taoist temple management became increasingly chaotic, and the Taoist temple in a remote place like Gaohua City almost existed in name only.

Now, Chen Liubai's vigorous and resolute reopening of the Taoist Temple has inevitably touched the nerves of all forces in the city.

If Chen Liubai was just like his predecessors, just going through the motions and maintaining a facade, it would be nothing, but he would be afraid of teaching the real thing, and the impact would be terrible.

It has been said since ancient times: Dharma should not be taught lightly.

Thousands of years ago, those powerful leaders said, "Open the door widely, spread the Dharma to the world, and everyone will be like a dragon." Many people did not take it seriously.

In fact, even after so many years, it never came true.

The biggest change is that more and more people are embarking on the path of spiritual practice, and sects and aristocratic families have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

But precisely because of this, the world has become increasingly chaotic. When people master the power of magic, interpersonal relationships become more fragile and dangerous, and all kinds of competition and plunder are terrifying.

I don’t know how far we are from the requirement of “everyone is like a dragon”!
Old Ding said angrily: "Those people's thoughts are all selfish, and they are afraid that you will teach a group of good students. And every newcomer who rises may lead to a family lineage, thus diluting their interests. .”

Chen Liubai looked at him and suddenly asked: "It seems that your grandson has also come to attend the class. His name is Ding Wu."

"Yes, he told me after he came home that he taught me very well, much better than the great martial arts masters at Tonghua Martial Arts School. Those martial arts masters only ask for money and don't teach real things at all."

An innate master could become the lord of a city in a soulless land; but in the Daqian Immortal Dynasty, he could only open martial arts schools and recruit disciples to make a living.

Chen Liubai had no intention of evaluating or interfering with the rules of the martial arts industry. There was never any right or wrong in such matters, and he did not intend to steal the other party's job.

He was just fulfilling the duties of the Taoist teachings.

I don’t even think that a new side-sect family can be created by giving a few lectures.

How could it be that easy?

Personal growth is always full of hardships and surprises; the rise of a family requires the concerted efforts of two or three generations.

As for Lao Ding's words, he naturally sided with his grandson Ding Wu. He was worried that Chen Liubai would be disturbed by the outside world, so he stopped giving lectures in anger.

……

On the next day, Chen Liubai came to the Taoist Temple to prepare for the second class, and then found that there were people standing inside and outside the courtyard, and the scene was much more lively and bustling than yesterday.

Seeing the man and the horse, the teenagers consciously moved out of the way, as if they were meeting each other on both sides of the road.
