Chapter 429: What is Cultivation? It all starts with science
Thirty kilometers away from the city, Brilliant Villa is located on the mountainside, the weather is hot and dry in August and September, it is a good time to escape the heat, but Brilliant Villa is closed to guests.
Next to the rockery in the backyard of the villa, Cihang and Scarface are eating chilled watermelon.
Cihang sucked and spit out a mouthful of watermelon kernels, and said, "Senior brother, do you say that our trick really works, and it really won't leave a little clue on the video surveillance?" â
The Scarface Daoist laughed, "Do you know what Senior Brother I'm doing when I enter the Kunlun Cave Heaven?" â
Cihang was puzzled, "I didn't hear what you said, senior brother......"
The Scarface Taoist priest smiled: "Actually, I am a teacher. Speaking of this, the scar-faced Taoist priest sighed, and a touch of yearning welled up on his face, "I am a professor at a university of science and technology, specializing in chemistry, and it was really a good time." â
"In the course I teach, there is a chemical engineering principle that is extremely difficult, and I am notoriously ruthless, so many people will fail the course, but you know, some girls, in order not to fail the course, occasionally there will be a little bit of openness, you probably can't experience the pleasure of women taking the initiative to climb into bed, especially those girls who want to go to graduate school......"
Cihang was slightly envious, but still puzzled: "What does this have to do with the blinding technique?" â
The scar-faced Taoist priest threw the watermelon slices on the ground, "Although I specialize in chemistry, I also know some knowledge of physics, although we are all cultivators, but as a university professor, senior brother, I actually know in my heart that the so-called Taoism in this world can actually be explained by scientific principles." â
"The so-called blinding technique is actually a scientific principle, to put it bluntly. It's on the basis of our practice. Harness the power of qi. Affect the distribution of surrounding air and moisture, thereby changing the travel route of light, so that the light reflected by our body avoids surveillance cameras, so as to achieve the purpose of blinding. â
Cihang shook his head in confusion.
The Scarface Taoist continued to haha: "Not only the eye trick, but the palm thunder you practiced can actually be explained by scientific principles, don't tell me that when you practiced palm thunder, you didn't have a metal magic weapon with lightning on your body?" â
Cihang nodded. "This one does."
The Scarface Daoist continued to laugh and said, "So, in fact, when the blue sky is cloudless, even if it is the cave master's profound cultivation, he can't use the palm thunder!" â
Cihang thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was really the case.
"So according to Senior Brother, there are actually no spells in this world, they are all scientific principles? There are no demons and monsters? That senior brother, can you explain the Qi Hope Technique? â
The Scarface Taoist reached out and took a piece of watermelon again, "Qi Hope Technique?" It was born from Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi is a mysterious metaphysics in Chinese civilization for 5,000 years. With my scientific knowledge, I can't explain it, such as pushing back pictures. I really can't explain it at the moment, but with the development of science, these things can actually be explained. â
He threw away half of the watermelon he had eaten, and frowned: "This melon seems to have turned over the sand?" He picked up a piece again and continued: "So, in fact, the one who really has the strength is still a kendo practitioner like Mingyue, who really relies on the potential of his physical body to reach a certain level, but no matter how strong he is, he can't get rid of the shackles of scientific principles, how high can Mingyue jump?" At most three meters, how high can the top three martial arts leaders jump? Including the great Buddhist power of Shaolin, what is the so-called profound Buddhism? In fact, it is a kind of idealistic statement, except for the warrior monks, all the cultivation is the state of mind and mind, and the wisdom of the heart! â
"Martial arts is real, but limited by the shackles of world science, in our world, there is no light skill of three hundred meters, at most, we can lift our breath and use a little buoyancy to carry the reeds, just to climb the water and cross the water."
As a professor, Scarface Taoist has a really vicious vision.
Cihang's culture is not high, but he probably still knows some scientific knowledge, and he is a little unbelieving, "All cultivation is science?" â
The Scarface Taoist nodded, "Everything is scientific, although some of them we can't explain at the moment, that's because we haven't been exposed to or understood those scientific truths yet, for example, in ancient times, people saw Penglai Wonderland and thought it was a fairy, at that time people couldn't explain the refraction and full emission of light, so they couldn't explain it, but we can now." â
"Another example is the so-called ghost control and dragon hunting, to put it bluntly, dragon hunting is just snake catching, and anyone who has the ability can do it, as for ghost control, I guess this is a relatively high-end hypnosis."
Cihang suddenly remembered something, "Senior brother, how to explain the evil dragon ascending to the sky, that evil dragon, I really saw it fly away after sweeping away the Great Shun Emperor's bowl!" â
The scar-faced Taoist priest groaned for a while, and said: "This is not easy to say, the dragon thing, you say it is fictional, but there is some scientific evidence that it does exist zĂ i, you say that it does exist zĂ i, but no one has ever seen a real dragon." According to my guess, the dragon species may indeed exist zĂ i, and its own body structure may really allow it to enter the sky and water, and maybe in the future, someone will solve this puzzle. â
Cihang doesn't seem to understand, this involves the knowledge of biology again, he is just a high school student after all.
The scar-faced Taoist priest glanced at the scorching sun, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "These things, don't let others know, after all, saying this will shake the fear and respect of Zhang Sankui and his son for our Kunlun Cave Heaven." â
Cihang nodded, "I know." â
The scar-faced Taoist priest patted Cihang's shoulder with reassurance, "So in fact, our so-called tonic technique in Dongtian is a fart to say, but the cultivator himself can't suppress the turmoil in his heart, and wants to play with women, and then he just plays out of the horizontal realm, what do you really get from the tonics?" â
Cihang disagreed with this, "But senior brother, my disciple Ming'er is indeed immortal because of the tonic technique!" â
The scar-faced Taoist laughed and said: "This is very easy to explain, first, he is better at martial arts cultivation, and Gujing Baoyuan is better at it, and second, your disciple is only in Zhongnan Mountain all year round, breathing the purest air, eating the cleanest vegetables and drinking water, plus some other coincidences, it is okay to remain young and undefeated, don't forget, even in the prosperous world, there is also the demon Zhao Yazhi, the white lady actor, who doesn't look like a young woman in her thirties?" â
Cihang was stunned for a moment, "Is this really the case?" â
The scar-faced Taoist priest laughed: "That's not it. â
Cihang didn't believe it a little, and felt that his worldview was a little collapsed, but this was what his most admired senior brother said, and if he didn't believe it, he had to believe it, you know, the senior brother was very likely to be the cave master of the cave in the future. (To be continued......)
