Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 114 Holy Object
February 1st was the first day of the new semester at Wuyi College. In the morning, the dormitory supervisor called some students, including Chen Chuan, outside.

He shook the form in his hand and said to the students in front of him:
"I've seen that most of you only attended a very small number of open and invited classes last year. This was your choice, and the teacher can't say anything.

However, the teacher from the Maca exchange program will give an invitational class today. You can go over and show your support. It will be like you have attended the invitational class and open class this year."

When the students heard about this good thing, they immediately agreed.

The dormitory supervisor reminded them, "Don't underestimate this Maka teacher. They may not be as good as us in fighting, but in some areas, they have their own unique things. In order to win our attention, they will share some knowledge that is not taught in their own country. It will be good to learn more."

When the students heard what the dormitory supervisor said, they actually became interested and no longer just dealt with it as before.

Because the invitational class was approaching, Chen Chuan and the other students left the dormitory building and walked towards the teaching venue specially designated for exchange teachers and students.

This place is very close to the dormitory building, just a five-minute walk away. When Chen Chuan and others came in, they saw that the Maka teacher was already sitting there.

The man was about forty years old, a typical Maka, with a hooked nose, a high forehead, and only a simple training suit. His muscles were very smooth, his skin was bronze, he wore beads around his neck, and a few white feathers on the decorative band behind his head.

After the students came in, they greeted him first, and after getting permission, they sat down on the cushions on the floor. Chen Chuan found a place near the front.

When the time was almost up, the Maka teacher stood up and spoke in fluent Dashun Mandarin:

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is 'Duma', which means teacher in Maca. However, we Maca people all speak the language of the Dashun Republic, so this has gradually become a title and honorific. You can call me Teacher Duma. Well, although it feels a bit strange, you can call me that."

After the teacher's few words, the students felt that the class was not rigid and the atmosphere was more relaxed, which somewhat reduced the unfamiliar distance between them.

“I am very happy to teach the students of Wuyi College during this exchange and study. Our population in Maca is only over one million, and there is only one fighting academy in the country. Our fighting level is not as good as yours, but we have some unique skills.

In our understanding as Maca people, all things originate from nature, and nature is omnipresent and capable of various changes. The highest spiritual concept of Maca people is to control oneself and integrate into nature.

We believe that everyone is a slave to their body, so we must liberate ourselves and become the true master of our body. Next, let me show you how to coordinate your body. I will first do a relatively simple movement. "

He stretched his hands out to both sides, with his thumb and little finger extended, making the sign of six with both hands, especially the little finger, which was raised high and very obvious.

Some of the students followed suit. Although anyone could do this action, they felt it was definitely not that simple and there must be something more to come.

Sure enough, Teacher Duma smiled, and then maintained this posture, slowly sat down, and then used her incredibly sensitive toes to easily take off her pair of socks, and made two sixes with her toes, and then while maintaining this posture, the middle toe slowly stood up, and then fell back easily.

He said: "Students who are interested can try to follow this."

Some students began to try. It was fine to take off the socks with their feet, but when they tried to use their toes, their faces began to distort.

What kind of a weird course is this?
Chen Chuan seemed to be thinking about something. Now his alienated tissue had penetrated into every tiny part of his body. Even without demonstrating, he knew clearly that he could do it easily.

It is difficult for people who do not have this part of alienated tissue, or whose muscles and tendons are not well trained, to do this. This technique of the Maca people seems to be specifically designed to develop control over the subtle parts of the body.

Teacher Duma then said: "What I am demonstrating now is only the basic part of Maca Karma. In this class, I will roughly introduce its learning process and mastery methods to the students.

Students, don't underestimate it. Long-term training can improve your control over yourself and your perception of the outside world. When used in fighting, you can better perceive subtle movements and changes. I am sitting here now and can feel each of your breathing, heartbeat, body temperature, and even blood flow.

If there are students who are interested, you can come to the class regularly. In the next semester, I will teach you this unique skill of Maca people."

While the class was in progress here, in the ninth-floor dormitory of the A-grade student dormitory building, a young Maca man was looking out from the gap in the curtains.

He had strong facial features, high brow arches, a small earring hanging on one ear, and a headband-like headdress wrapped around his hair. He had a very strong physique and looked like a skilled fighter.

At this time, the half-closed door behind him was pushed open, and another Maca student came in from outside and said to him, "Nali, Meili has notified us."

The man named Nali didn't look back, but just said hello.

The Maca student sat on the sofa and complained, "The male and female dormitories in Dashun are separated, so we can't live together."

Seeing that Nali didn't say anything, he looked over and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Nally said, "Look at the people here."

"What's so good about them? Don't they look similar to us? They're everywhere on the street."

Nally said, "And look at the land here."

The Maca student was stunned for a moment, then he lay down on the sofa and looked up, "There's nothing to see here. This place doesn't belong to us now. It hasn't belonged to us since the moment our tribe gave up their ancestral land."

Nali said, "Shani, have you met the tribe members in the school?"

Shani said, "Don't mention it. They have long since stopped recognizing themselves as Maka people. What kind of people are they? Now they are no different from the people of Dashun."

Nali said, "Then we can only rely on ourselves this time. Go and call everyone over."

"Now?" Nali nodded. "Now."

"Trouble." Shani muttered, got up and walked out.

When he came back, seven Maca students followed him. Fortunately, the dormitory room was relatively large, so even though there were so many people together, they did not feel crowded. Everyone found a place to sit down.

Nali pulled the curtains of the French windows, then turned around and looked at everyone who came in. He said, "According to the information transmitted between the country and Wu Yi, if we are unlucky, our identities will be exposed in five days at most, so we must get the things as soon as possible.

According to the scheduled procedure, two to three days later, Teacher Duma will take us to the Yangzhi City Foreign Affairs Bureau to have friendly exchanges with the foreign affairs officials who come to contact us. At that time, the big oak leaf that we have enshrined in Yangzhi City will be taken out and displayed. This is our only chance to get it back.

However, the danger of this matter can be imagined. Although the resistance forces here have agreed to cooperate with us, we need to face the security forces of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, and we are not allowed to carry weapons. It is very difficult. Are you ready to sacrifice?"

Shani said: "Nali, needless to say, the moment we set foot on this ancestral land, we have been inspired by the ancestral gods. We will definitely take back the sacred objects of our Maka people."

The others also showed a determined look on their faces at this time.

Nali looked at everyone present. Everyone was looking at him firmly, and no one avoided him.

He said in a deep voice: “Zu’a, Shani, and a few of you, in the name of fighting, go and test the level of the Wuyi students on the floors below in the next two days.

When the exchange ceremony is held, these students may go with us. If they find something wrong, they will definitely try to stop us. We need to find out their strength first so that we can target them."

"it is good!"

Everyone present agreed.

Nali nodded solemnly and asked everyone to go back. About two hours later, there was another knock on the door. He hurried over to open the door and welcomed in Teacher Duma.

He said, "Teacher, is the class over?"

Duma came to the window and opened the curtains. He said, "The students of Dashun Republic of China are all very good. Although they are new to Maca Karma, I can feel that several of them have mastered the basics on the spot."

Nali was very surprised: "So fast?"

Duma sighed and said, "After all, Dashun has a large population, and we can find many people who are born with natural gifts. However, our population of Maka is too small, and the country has to save money to support fighters like us."

He turned around and said solemnly, "You can't just sacrifice yourself here. You have a brighter future ahead of you. When I take the oak leaf, I will try my best to delay everyone present. Once you get the things, leave as soon as possible. As many people as possible can leave."

Nali said with a heavy expression: "Teacher, will the resistance here really help us when the time comes?"

"Yes, because they want to involve us Maka people with them. Even though they are using us, we have to do this for the return of the holy relics. And we are not without ways to make up for it."

Nali said: "I still don't understand. Since the oak leaves originally belonged to us, why can't we just ask Yangzhi City for them? We have such a good relationship..."

Duma shook his head and said, "It's different. Now they only know that it's a symbol, so they don't care much. But if they knew it was our sacred object, they might not be willing to return it to us. After all, the repercussions of the world are deepening year by year. We would rather get the things first and let the country explain later."

After class, Chen Chuan went back to the dormitory. He thought the course was interesting and had many good points. Maybe he could go and listen to it when he had free time.

Just as he returned to the seventh floor, the dormitory supervisor called him and said, "Student Chen Chuan, your phone is on the line."

Chen Chuan hurried over, and the dormitory supervisor said to him, "Student Chen Chuan, you have so many calls, you can apply for a separate phone line."

Chen Chuan was a little surprised: "Is it possible?"

The dormitory supervisor smiled and said, "You are the one who received the scholarship for the first half of the semester, so you have the right. However, if you cannot get it this semester, it will be revoked."

"I see. Thank you, teacher."

Chen Chuan went up and picked up the phone, and Ren Shu's excited voice came from it: "Mr. Chen, the Government Affairs Office has just issued a commissioned task. The commissioned personnel sent out before have found the main base where the Feitou Cult may exist. It is in an old village in the northwest Manshan. The Government Affairs Office is preparing to concentrate its manpower to the mountainous area to wipe out this group of cultists.

We are currently lacking experts in handling flying heads. Because we successfully handled it last time, the Government Affairs Office expressed satisfaction, so this time they handed the matter over to our company. I wonder if Mr. Chen is available to take it?"

Chen Chuan's eyes moved and he asked, "What time?"

Ren Shu replied: "The encirclement and suppression is scheduled for tomorrow noon, Mr. Chen. We may need to arrive at the Manshan Mountain area tonight. Then we only have one afternoon to prepare. We don't need to deal with the peripheral matters. We only need to be responsible for eliminating the flying head monster in the end."

Chen Chuan thought about it and decided to discuss this matter with Cheng Zitong first for the sake of caution. He said, "Wait for my reply first."
