Chapter 8: The Source of Creation

Seeing Yiyi shaking her head blankly, Xiao You took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Artificially created golems have no soul, they can only act according to preset instructions, and they can't think for themselves." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

"But master, we encounter different situations, and we know how to choose the best way to deal with it, isn't this thinking?" The machine man asked cautiously, "For example, when I see a warrior, I know to hit him with magic, and when I see a mage, I know to stab him with a knife." ”

"This kind of judgment is also based on specified conditions, not from true consciousness," Xiao Yu said, "Once the complexity of the external situation exceeds the preset range, the agency people will be stunned and overwhelmed. ”

"Therefore, the machine man is not an intelligent life." Xiaoxing came to a conclusion.

"So master, what should intelligent life look like?"

"First of all, you need to have the ability to learn, to be able to constantly understand the mysteries of the world, and to master all kinds of knowledge and skills. Secondly, you must have the ability to be creative, and when you encounter a situation that you have never seen before, and your predecessors have not left a solution, you must be able to think for yourself and try to deal with it. Xiaoxing replied.

"The ability to create is the key to distinguishing whether there is wisdom or not." Xiao You emphatically said, "Institutional people can be input a lot of knowledge, but they can't draw inferences from one another, learn and apply it, even if it is a simple question, as long as you can't find a ready-made answer in your mind, you have to sit helpless and sit still." ”

"Master, then why don't we have the ability to create?"

"This is because the structure of the machine is still too simple compared to the real lifeforms." Xiao Xing shook his head and said, "And even if you have self-awareness, you need a high-level body to give full play to your mental abilities." ”

"Master Xiaoxing, you told me that the existence of life is omnipresent, and even the universe can be regarded as alive."

"Being conscious and being wise are two different things." Xiao Yu flicked the table, "A stone, after receiving the essence of heaven and earth for a long time, can also slowly give birth to consciousness, but it cannot obtain wisdom in the form of a stone. Only when the aura condenses out of the nine orifices, the limbs, the five internal organs, the head dome to the sky, and the feet to the ground, can there be a foundation for further cultivation. ”

"Bacteria, they don't have brains, they don't even have self-awareness, so they just 'exist'; animals, knowing their birth, old age, sickness and death, can express joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and have a certain intelligence, they can be regarded as 'alive', but they still rely on instinct to survive, repeating the life course of the previous generation." Xiaoxing added, "It is only when the creatures are erect on their feet that they are truly intelligent, able to think about the meaning of life itself, and pursue a more perfect state of existence on the basis of the legacy of their ancestors, which is called 'life'." ”

"Therefore, whether it is a plant or a beast, the key step in cultivating into a demon is to transform into a human form, enlighten the spiritual wisdom, and have your own wisdom to comprehend the Dao Zhizhi in the future." Xiao Yu concluded.

"Can the human form have intelligence, aren't dragons born with great strength and spells?" Yiyi quickly thought of a counterexample.

"Powerful magic is the wealth that the race has given to the dragon, but this innate ability is only a few fixed, fragmented and scattered spells." Xiao Xing said with a smile, "They are limited to their huge bodies and slow rhythm of life, and it is difficult to engage in basic spell experiments, and the greatest sages in the dragon clan have all reorganized the spell system after transforming into human form, so that they can get rid of the limitations of natural spells and grow into erudite and proficient mages." ”

"Those demon beasts that have achieved cultivation, in the prototype state, their strength and abilities far exceed those of ordinary people, but on their own evolutionary path, they still have to transform into human form in order to continue to progress in their spiritual essence." Xiao You sighed and said, "My generation of mortals, we must cherish our own body even more, and we must not destroy it at will. ”

"Master, why is it that a lich with a skeleton of bones has intelligence?"

"Well, what is commonly referred to as a lich does not retain wisdom." Xiaoxing shook his head, "Theoretically, the skeleton of a lich is more rudimentary than the body of a mechanical person, and the soul attached to this body hardly has any usable psychic abilities.

"Skeleton soldiers also rely on dark energy to exist, they have no intelligence at all, only some life instincts are left," Xiao Yu said, "Actually, as the caster of dark power, the lich in the form of a skeleton bone is very good at manipulating mana, but has never made any achievements in magic theory, only when they give birth to dark flesh and become real underworld creatures, can they regain their creativity." ”

"It's the same as turning stones into essences."

"It's different, it's the spirit that absorbs the aura of heaven and earth and grows consciousness, it's a living being, even if the original form is a skeleton, it's not a ghost, it's a bone spirit. And the one who relies on the dark power to condense into a body and keep the geist alive is the undead monster. ”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Master, you keep saying that I am different from ordinary people, so what is the difference?" The agency man asked respectfully.

"Yiyi, the raw materials for making you have also been baptized by the essence of heaven and earth," Xiao Yu patted it on the shoulder, "We can't directly make life, but your body has the opportunity to become a spirit demon and become a self-aware organist." ”

"Is this true?"

"Yiyi, you just said that when you see a warrior, you want to bombard him with magic, and when you see a mage, you want to stab him with a knife." Xiaoxing smiled and said, "But at the door of the inn that day, how did you deal with those adventurers?" ”

"Well, I killed the warrior with a weapon and the mage with a spell." The agency man replied.

"Then why did you make this choice?"

"Oh, I think their strength is too poor, and killing them with their respective fighting styles is the only way to fully show their contempt for them."

"That's right, contempt for the opponent is also an emotion, and emotional fluctuations tend to fall out of the realm of rational design, while standard organ people will not have emotions."

"So, I'm really conscious, so I'm also a monster?"

"That's right, your prototype is a trap-human, but as a youkai, you can transform into a humanoid form," Xiao Yu said, "Whether it's a human or an elf, it's up to you." However, it is not recommended to become orcs, as their brains are slightly smaller. ”

"Oh, so is it okay to be a human and an elf?"

"Then this is a half-elf, if you are interested in this, change it."

"But I've heard that if a monster can turn into a human form, it must first cultivate out of the Inner Dan realm." Xiaoxing suddenly interjected.

"There are so many mysteries in the world that you can't generalize. Those who have Neidan must have a certain amount of deformation ability, but the deformation ability does not necessarily need to have Neidan. Xiao You stretched, "Come on, Yiyi, follow me to the laboratory, I'll install an energy crystal nucleus for you, and the appearance change will be a piece of cake." ”

In front of a huge mirror, he took off his orc helmet, and a half-elf face was revealed, and he said to himself, "I didn't expect it to look good as a half-elf......

But why is this look familiar?

- Arcin Mithril is a rare magical metal with many magical properties. After electromagnetic modification, your body will have good electrical conductivity, and when you are attacked by lightning magic, the electrical energy will automatically flow into your two arms and be stored. So it's good for you to walk outside during thunderstorms and get struck by lightning a few times

--With the blessing of life, your prosthesis will automatically have a semi-life nature, your physique can immediately adapt and be able to use it flexibly, and if the prosthesis is damaged, you can receive treatment and repair it on its own, just like your body

……

In an instant, a lot of words echoed in my head.

"What's wrong, Yiyi?" Xiaoxing saw that the machine man seemed to be stunned and asked.

"Master, I remembered the scene of some heaven and earth essence descending on my body, it seems that I am really a monster."

"Oh, you can think of that, too."

"Master, since I'm a mechanical monster, do I also have nine limbs and five internal organs now?"

"So to speak."

"So, I'm creative too, right?" The agency man asked happily.

"If you want to make original ideas, you need to accumulate a certain amount of knowledge first, otherwise your mind will be empty, and you will not be able to create if you want to." Xiao You smiled, "Since you are still an agency person by nature, you can quickly instill a lot of knowledge, but don't be rigidized by too much knowledge and reduced to a book bag." ”

"By the way, master, you have such a good head embalming technique, can you help me deal with this bull's head?" The organ man suddenly remembered something and took out a small Xiaoice coffin, "In the future, if I have the opportunity, I still want to travel around the world to receive rewards, if this head is broken, there is no way to use it as a certificate." ”

"I don't need to make a living specimen, just to prevent decay, so why use my precious prescription?" Xiao You waved his hand impatiently, "You go find some salt water to marinate it and freeze it, you can store it for a longer time, and if you are hungry, you can also use it as dry food." ”

"What, can I eat too?"

"Nonsense, if you have internal organs, you can naturally eat and drink Lazar."
