Chapter 168: One Law Leads to All Laws
168.
β......β
Cheng Li was a little skeptical that this little Taoist boy had crossed over from the earth.
Is it a man on the top 10,000 floors?
It always reminds him of some XX little games on Earth.
"That...... I want to ask who is the 10,000th floor?" Cheng Li couldn't help but complain.
"Ah, 10,000 floors is not a person, but there are 10,000 layers in the trial of this study monument!" Xiao Daotong explained seriously.
"Okay......" Cheng Li felt that he couldn't harm such a simple little Taoist boy, so he stopped driving and asked seriously, "So, in the past 8,000 years, only a foreign Taoist has passed the 3,000-layer trial?"
Xiao Daotong nodded and said, "That's right, in the past 8,000 years, only foreign Dao people have passed the 3,000th layer trial. Floor 3137 to be exact!
It is precisely after passing the test of the arithmetic tablet that the foreign Taoist people realized many arithmetic principles, so as to create the school of yin-yang arithmetic. β
Cheng Li keenly grasped a question at this time and said: "Wait a minute, do you mean that the foreign Daoist realized some things of yin-yang arithmetic after passing the trial of the arithmetic tablet, and thus created the yin-yang arithmetic?
When Cheng Li heard Ye Lin and others say before, they all said that because of their perception of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, they created Yin and Yang Arithmetic, and such a grand event came out with the vision of Heaven and Earth, and this is how the Arithmetic Monument came out.
But now listening to what Xiaodao Tong said, it seems that there is a certain difference between truth and legend.
"Of course not, you must have heard legends that are unknown how many years old. That is the deification of history by later generations. Xiao Daotong said disdainfully, "This arithmetic tablet is a natural thing, and it is a natural magic weapon cultivated by heaven and earth, of course, it will not evolve because of a specific person." Natural things are all bred by chance, and it is also his fate that a foreign Taoist can become my master. β
Cheng Li probably understood after listening to it.
The truth of history should be that 8,000 years ago, this arithmetic monument was bred by chance. Foreign Taoists happened to encounter the arithmetic tablet when the arithmetic tablet was born, so they naturally entered the trial of the yin-yang stele.
After entering the arithmetic tablet, the foreign Taoist people in this arithmetic tablet, after layers of trials, the understanding of yin and yang arithmetic is more profound, and finally the foreign Taoist people came out of the 3137 floor, they became the first owner of the arithmetic tablet, and created a yin-yang arithmetic system.
At this time, Xiao Daotong shook his head and said: "Arithmetic is also one of the three thousand avenues, which is the embodiment of the laws of the universe and the supreme principle of heaven and earth. Human beings are just discovering it and feeling it. How can there be a creation of arithmetic principles, and occasional inspiration, that is also a natural hand, a godsend. β
Cheng Li couldn't help but retort at this time: "That's not right, many things in mathematics are artificially defined, subjective, not objective. β
Xiao Daotong smiled and said, "Is this really the case?"
Cheng Li said confidently: "Of course, and as far as I know, many mathematical theorems are thought out by mathematicians in a flash of inspiration. It has nothing to do with the Avenue of Perception. β
Xiao Daotong said with a look of your too innocent expression: "You are too naΓ―ve, how do you know that their flash of inspiration is not some kind of heavenly thing?"
"Do you think so narrowly that something from heaven is something concrete, and not some thought, some kind of inspiration?"
Cheng Li continued to retort: "Many mathematical theorems are also the products of rigorous proof and logical self-consistency, rather than being thought out after a flash of inspiration. β
Xiao Daotong said more reasonably: "Since it is the product of self-consistent logic, isn't it more proof that arithmetic is an objective law that can exist objectively, and it is a manifestation of the Great Dao?"
Hearing Xiao Daotong's statement, Cheng Li couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
According to Xiao Daotong's meaning, then the way of mathematics studied by those mathematicians on the earth is actually studying the avenue.
It's just that when mathematicians study mathematics, they don't make rapid progress in cultivation and gain incredible magical powers because they have developed a theorem. Jiukan Chinese network debut
But in essence, there is not much difference from the way of cultivating the truth that the cultivators are cultivating and exploring.
Although Cheng Li couldn't accept such a statement for a while, after all, he had always believed that cultivation was metaphysical and had nothing to do with science.
However, after thinking about this, Cheng Li suddenly woke up a little.
Because since he came to this world, what he has been doing, hasn't he been peeling off the cloak of metaphysics of cultivating truth, and using the clearly visible logical thinking of programming to reinterpret it?
Cheng Li suddenly understood that science is a method of understanding the objective laws of the universe.
Whether it is cultivation or magic, it can be studied by scientific methods and developed by scientific systems. As long as it is an objective law that exists in the universe, it is the goal of scientific development and efforts to try to explain it.
But in reality, there are many mysterious phenomena that cannot be explained by science, but that is nothing more than because the level of development of science is not enough.
Just like on Earth, 100 years ago, many mysterious phenomena that people did not understand can finally be explained by science, so that people can understand their principles and apply them.
On the earth in the 21st century, with the rapid development of science and technology, many scientific and technological products, put 100 years ago, would also be regarded as incomparably mysterious, or magical magical existences by people at that time.
"I see, science is essentially a way to explore the most fundamental laws of the universe. According to the cultivators, the most fundamental law of operation of the universe is the so-called Great Dao. Cheng Li thought in his heart, "Then whether it is science, cultivation, or magic, they are all different ways to explore the Great Dao."
"There are so many mysteries in the universe, and it is normal for the so-called Great Dao to use different methods to produce different effects in the process of exploration. In this way, I have always had a sense of superiority of modern people under the influence of science, and I still have some prejudice against metaphysical things such as cultivating truth. β
After Cheng Li was woken up by Xiao Daotong, he had a feeling of sudden realization.
Xiao Daotong saw Cheng Li's appearance of some epiphany, and said with a relieved look: "The child can be taught, there are three thousand Tao, and these three thousand are just its external manifestation."
In the final analysis, there is only one eternal truth. β
"Thousands of planes, thousands of universes, endless races, and civilizations are as diverse as silver sand, and each civilization has its own system of exploration avenues.
"But no matter how different the exploration systems are, they are all explorations of the same avenue, so in the final analysis, they can all be connected.
"As the saying goes, one law works, all laws work. β
"And my way of arithmetic is the most compatible avenue!" Xiao Daotong said shaking his head.
