The lecturer asked the audience why they came. This kind of thing was unusual. The three students in the room were also startled when they heard this.
But soon the young Xiaodao named Xie took the lead and said, "Before I was in the Taoist temple, the student had followed the master to learn how to look at the wind and stars. You can see the luck of the world at the top and the misfortunes and blessings of one person at the bottom. The deeper you go, Among them, students are more obsessed with this Tao.
"However, the art of observing the sky and stars in Guanzhong is often incomplete, and because it was passed down by word of mouth, many of them had lost their original meaning when they were passed on to me, making it even more difficult to understand.
"Students heard that Si Tianjian has been studying celestial phenomena for nearly a thousand years and has accumulated a lot. The contemporary young eunuch Guo Shouhuai is particularly good at this. He is also your disciple of Professor Xu, so I also want to study with you, Professor Xu."
After Xie Xiaodao finished speaking, he looked at the old man in the Taishi's chair with some anxiety.
As a result, the latter's expression didn't change much. He just nodded slightly, then turned to Yan Yun, "What about you?"
Yan Yun's answer was very simple, "The student was born in Yunshui Jingci Pavilion and has been trained as the next pavilion master."
Professor Xu suddenly said, "What you practice is the supreme secret code of Yunshui Jingci Pavilion, the Nebula Divine Skill. I heard that this internal skill was created by your master of Yunshui Jingci Pavilion by observing the stars after he was a hundred years old, and it was integrated into what he had learned throughout his life. Enlightenment is extremely difficult to practice.
"Not only are practitioners required to have extremely high martial arts qualifications, but they also need to have a deep understanding of the stars. I remember that the most powerful of the previous pavilion masters of Yunshui Jingci Pavilion only practiced this mental method to the seventh level. Where have you cultivated now?"
"The sixth floor." Yan Yun said.
"That's very good." The old professor raised his eyebrows and praised.
"But now I'm starting to feel it's hard. At most, it's the seventh level, and it should be difficult for me to continue practicing."
"Then I hope what I teach can help you, little girl." After Professor Xu finished speaking, he finally moved his eyes to the last student in the lecture hall.
Lu Jing didn't expect to have a reason for coming to attend a class. Whether it was Xie Xiaodao who wanted to learn how to watch stars and look for energy, or Yan Yun who wanted to use astrological knowledge to practice the sect's secrets, their reasons sounded very legitimate.
In comparison, he felt a little embarrassed.
The reason why he came to listen to the lecture was because there were too few lectures, otherwise he would not come to listen to such an unpopular theory of celestial phenomena.
But it's definitely not good to say it so bluntly. Although Professor Xu seems to have a noble demeanor and doesn't care much about the fact that only three people come to listen to his lecture, no one knows what he is thinking in his heart.
No matter how straightforward Lu Jing was, it would be wrong to just rub salt into his wounds.
But it's not that easy to make up a decent reason now, especially considering that his situation is already known to everyone in the entire academy.
So Lu Jing also fell into silence. Seeing the atmosphere becoming more and more weird, Professor Xu's brows gradually wrinkled.
Lu Jing had to speak.
"I'm...that one, Lu Jing."
"This name sounds familiar, oh, I remembered it," Professor Xu's expression finally changed, and his eyes widened, "It's you!"
"Yes, it's me," Lu Ding nodded and said, "Professor Xu, you must have heard about my situation. I have been looking for a solution. I heard that the observation of celestial phenomena is the most mysterious and ancient knowledge in the academy, so I I hope I can find a turning point in this."
"It's too difficult," Professor Xu shook his head and said bluntly, "Observing the celestial phenomena does contain countless possibilities, and the stars are closely related to each of us, but this connection is a deep-seated, higher-level connection. , can’t get down to such details.”
However, he probably didn't want to disappoint Lu Jing too much, so he added, "But nothing is absolute. One thing you are right about is that the science of celestial phenomena is indeed the oldest and most mysterious. Even I have mastered it." knowledge is just a drop in the ocean.
"And from ancient times to the present, there are people who can change their fate against the will of heaven. If you study hard, you may not be able to find a glimmer of opportunity."
Lu Jing was very happy to hear this, but he simply ignored the words of comfort that followed. Professor Xu said that it was almost impossible for the celestial phenomena to affect the practice of secret power, which made him completely relieved.
It also means that the course is very safe and he can listen to it.
In just a few moments, Professor Xu got to know all of his students.
He also understood everyone's situation, took a sip of the tea at hand, and then said, "Very good, I'm glad that all three of you can realize the importance of observing the celestial phenomena.
"There are too many mediocre people in this world. Most of them can only walk with their heads down, and their eyes are limited to the one-third of an acre of land in front of them. There are only a few people who are willing to look up at the sky. Even the academy and Sitian Prison have no idea about this discipline. There is a lot of knowledge that no one cares about.
"Haha, if it weren't for Guo Shouhuai becoming a young prisoner, the academy would have even wanted me to stop teaching this subject and replace it with practice of offensive and defensive formations. It's really short-sighted!"
Professor Xu complained for a long time, and then said, "You have come to listen to my lectures, and you have surpassed other people in your class, but it is not that easy to really learn this knowledge well.
"I'm not here to pour cold water on you. The difficulty lies in observing the evolution of celestial phenomena. It's the last word of evolution. Of course, it's difficult to observe, but most of it is in the instrument.
"But how to connect the celestial phenomena with the things you want to understand requires deduction, especially the ability in logarithm, which is very demanding, um... But these are all things later, I will give you first. Let's talk about the introductory "Bu Tian Ge".
"Only when you have memorized the Three Walls, Four Symbols, and Twenty-eight Constellations, can we talk about other things. In addition, after I finish today's lesson, you can go and ask for a copy of the horoscope chart. You can compare it with the Chen Constellations in the evening. The horoscope chart will identify itself.”
After Professor Xu finished speaking, he looked at Xiaodao, who introduced himself, "Xie Anshi."
"Well, Anshi, you have learned the art of stargazing from your master before. If you don't want to hear the basics, you can come back after three classes."
Hearing this, Xie Anshi waved his hand quickly, "No, no, no, I can review what I have learned while listening to your lectures and check for any gaps."
Professor Xu was very satisfied with his attitude, and then gave a lecture for an hour. When he heard the bell, he immediately picked up his crutches and walked away.
Lu Jing and the other three also packed their things and prepared to leave.
Among them, Xie Anshi was the first to leave, heading straight towards Zang. As soon as he left the school, Lu Jing was about to go out, but unexpectedly he was stopped by Yan Yun behind him.
