A Guide to Modern Cultivation

It was already mid-September when the two returned to school again. Fortunately, the school hadn't started yet—because the start of this year's new semester was destined to be postponed, and there were still many students in Huada Guxiu who hadn't caught up yet. To the imperial capital.

Flying up to Xianshan Mountain on a crane, the two went directly to the main peak to find Teacher Yan, and reported the details of going out to pick up students during this period of time.

In the school park below, on the way back from the two of them, it seemed that it was much more lively than the last time when the two came back. The students who were relatively close to the imperial capital, or had an earlier departure time for their return journey, had already rushed to the campus. Back to school.The old students are busy going to the new school building to familiarize themselves with the specific locations of the classrooms and various functional buildings. Needless to say, the freshmen, some early arrivals are wandering around the school and taking various videos for their families. Parents and friends see it.

Compared with when the two of them left during the winter vacation, the upper part of Xianshan Mountain was much quieter. Most of the handover work, Mr. Yan, had been arranged properly before. The specific matters are handled by other teachers. As Huaxia's big killer, he also needs to be prepared to go to support in various emergencies, so in normal times—at least when school starts for a while On the contrary, it is much more leisurely.

After entering the main hall, the two went up all the way to the familiar small platform behind. After entering, the first thing they saw was not the familiar compact flowers, nor the blue sky outside the window, but the fairy-like mist. It was a huge ice lump placed in the room...

The corner of Yunling's mouth twitched a few times, and he looked at Wei Jingcheng beside him, the meaning in his eyes was very clear: This thing looks familiar!

Wei Jingcheng was also silent for a few seconds, and then looked at Teacher Yan who was drinking tea sitting nearby.

Both of them were silent for a few seconds under the shock of Da Bingtuozi, only to see Teacher Yan nodded slightly to signal them to sit down.

After sitting down, the two didn't speak immediately, and Teacher Yan didn't ask immediately. At this time, it was mid-September, and this season in the imperial capital was also the hottest time of the year, especially during the autumn tiger It's the season to show off, but with such a huge piece of ice in the room that is higher than the roof and can only be placed on a small platform to extend outwards, the temperature in this small hall is quite cool and pleasant, even It also makes people feel a little chilly.

Teacher Yan raised his hand to pour a cup of tea for each of them, and then asked: "This time you two are going to pick up the freshmen, how do you feel?"

The two of Yunling thought for a while before responding: "It feels different from previous years. The freshmen are quite lively."

The two had been freshmen, and they also took care of freshmen in their sophomore years, but the freshmen at that time would first adapt to the school for a period of time after entering the school, and then the teachers would explain the specific conditions of the school in a unified manner, and after military training, after that, the freshmen would adapt to the school for a while. I have already understood the common sense of the practice world, and I have found many questions from the teachers and forums, so I don’t ask questions like asking curious babies, and the previous freshmen were sent to the imperial capital by their parents. , do not need old students and teachers to pick it up, of course it feels very different from now.

Teacher Yan nodded slightly when he heard the words: "Because the road is blocked, so this year we can only recruit students from the surrounding areas. The freshmen are very curious, and I think it will be more difficult for the two of you. Now everyone is trying to solve the communication problem. There should be a more secure plan in the coming year, and students will no longer be used to pick up people."

Yunling nodded again and again, feeling in his heart that there should be no such task next year, when he suddenly thought about it, he paused - he will graduate next year!If it wasn't for staying in school for graduate studies, or as a teaching assistant, of course the two graduates wouldn't need to pick up freshmen again!However, considering that as Teacher Yan's disciples, if the manpower is insufficient and they are sent out, the two of them will naturally not be able to say anything, so...

Yunling glanced at Teacher Yan silently, but didn't dare to say anything.

The situation of freshmen is like that. The quality of these students and their progress after the start of the school can only be tested by time. Anyway, most of the teachers in the school don't have much hope for this-after all, they used to be Huadagu students in previous years. The recruitment of majors is a nationwide audition!Now we can only recruit fresh graduates from the surrounding areas of the imperial capital, and it is conceivable that there will be a big gap between them.

Teacher Yan himself doesn't care about this. For example, he made a great wish at the beginning-to teach without discrimination.Even if the innate quality is not too high, as long as one is dedicated to Tao and is willing to calm down and work hard to cultivate, then no matter what kind of seedling is possible to achieve its own Tao.On the contrary, no matter how outstanding the talent is, it is very common to fall in the middle if the character is poor, or the heart of the Tao is not firm enough, or the fate is ill-fated.

That's why Teacher Yan promised before that even if some of the students are unable to return to school after the start of school due to family circumstances and other reasons, they will have the opportunity to enter the outer sect of the Yunhua School in the future.

Skipping the freshmen's question, Teacher Yan said to the two of them: "After this year, the Chinese and foreign sects will recruit monks. Are you two interested in giving lectures at the foreign sect once in a while?"

The two were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other blankly again, and asked Teacher Yan with question marks all over their heads: "Lecture? Isn't it going to class?"

After the two of them worshiped Teacher Yan as their teacher, they were naturally regarded as disciples of the Yunhua Sect. According to those novels on cultivation, they were true disciples, but even true disciples had other You can also attend monks' lectures. Teacher Yan must have said something wrong, right?Let them both go to lectures instead of lectures?

Teacher Yan nodded slightly: "It's a lecture." After finishing speaking, he paused for a while, and gave the two of them a reaction time before explaining in detail, "The recruitment of disciples in the outer sect is not limited to fresh graduates of Huada Guxiu. Other casual cultivators and students who have graduated from other monk colleges are willing to come to my outer sect or attend lectures. Although you two are not very old and have not yet graduated, the spells, practice, and experience you have learned are far beyond the ordinary Brother, so you can go to the class occasionally, and if students are interested, they can go to listen."

Seeing two people thinking about it, Teacher Yan immediately said: "The content of the class is not fixed. You two can choose what you are good at. You can talk about it at that time. You two don't need to be professional lecturers. If you are interested, you can sort out the content of a few classes by yourself. , Set a free time and report to me, after setting the date, you two will talk once in a while, about an hour or so."

Only then did the two of them realize that this teaching method is actually quite different from the teaching method mentioned in those cultivation novels and the documents left by ancient monks.

Seeing that the two were interested, Teacher Yan introduced his general plan for the Outer Sect: "My Yunhua Sect Outer Sect, although it is called the Outer Sect, does not restrict the movement of monks, so even casual cultivators occasionally come to listen It's okay. Unless someone intends to officially enter my Yunhua School, his character, character, cultivation, etc. will be assessed and formally accepted into the sect.

"The rest of the disciples of the outer sect don't have too many restrictions on their daily life and activities, except for some basic behaviors and the rules of the sect. It is roughly the same as the original school's graduate students. They will be notified once a month about the content of the month's lectures and sent to everyone. Outer disciples, if you are interested, you can go back to the school to listen to the lectures. If you are not interested, do what you should do. When the two of you are willing to teach, if the course is confirmed, the disciple will be notified one month in advance, so don’t hold it in your heart. Too much of a burden."

After Mr. Yan explained it in this way, the two of them completely realized that what Mr. Yan wanted to do was not an outer door in the traditional sense, but rather a feeling like when taking online classes or listening to looser lectures.There is quite a kind of teaching here. If anyone who is interested occasionally wants to come and listen to the two lectures, he will listen to it. If he feels that it is not satisfactory, he will leave. If he is like-minded and willing to discuss the Dao together, then he can naturally propose that he wants to join the sect. Apply.

Although I was a little worried about whether this would be a mixed bag, let people who don't know what kind of intentions come to attend the class, and learn the more important theory of exercises in their sect.But after thinking about it, in today’s Internet society, a lot of basic information is actually open and transparent on the entire network, even some contents such as exercises, except that they will be cherished as heirlooms by the person who got it at the beginning, I want to cover it tightly, but as time goes by, there will definitely be some relatively common basic knowledge that has no threshold.

Instead of hiding any knowledge and holding it as a treasure, it is better to openly teach and talk about the foundation of practice or the insights in practice, so as to make a contribution to the Yunhua School. Propaganda can also form good relationships, and it can also shelter and discover some good seedlings.The most important thing is that in fact, the lecturers will also systematically sort out the content they want to talk about during the lecture process, which is equivalent to reviewing what they have learned and sorting it out systematically. Great benefit.

Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but feel a little moved. Since the lecturers in the class are open and transparent, if others think that Yunling and Yunling are young and have a short practice period, they can't learn anything real from them, so they can naturally choose not to come.There will also be people who are curious, why the two of them can cultivate so quickly at such a young age?If you want to learn something from them and attend the lectures, the two of you can systematically organize what you have learned through this sorting and telling. This is an absolute win-win choice.

After thinking for a while, Jing Cheng, the defender, spoke first: "I'm personally interested in this matter, but I need to prepare well first, especially to listen to how other teachers teach such a big class? Look for ideas Only then can we determine whether such a course should be offered.”

Teacher Yan nodded slightly: "It's okay, it's not urgent, you can just prepare for a year or two. I don't plan to hold classes for outer disciples every day and every week, just one or two classes in a month or two. Yes. Now there are other teachers in the school, so everyone can arrange as much as possible." His suggestion was just to prepare the two students mentally. Take it out and show your own things, it doesn't mean that the two of them will rush the ducks to the shelves now.
