CHAPTER XXII

I'm listening to these fantastical things, and I really don't know how to answer. I can only feel through what he said now, that the so-called ancient myths may be true, and the second is that humanity is now starting a new era of mythology.

In fact, if you think about it, clairvoyance may not be easy to use as a TV network, Shunfeng Ear is a telephone, there is a lighter for fire control, a faucet for water control, a refrigerator for ice making, and even thunder is not a new thing. And all this energy comes from electricity, which cannot be seen or touched, but can kill people.

"Daoist Jue Xing said that whether it is demonic power or spiritual power, it is the use of Dao power, does that mean that electricity is also Dao power?"

"Clever, drawing inferences from one another, not only electricity, but also electromagnetic force, gravity, etc., are all the use of Dao force. If you want to listen to the mysteries, the Tao is all things in the world, and it is not all things in the world, and the Tao is the Tao, then it is very Tao. But you have to listen to the simple, modern people can understand, the Dao power actually comes from the energy particles of the universe, which is the energy that the high, medium, and low dimensions all want to grasp or already have some of them that can be applied. You say fire, you can see it, but can you touch it? In fact, it is also a kind of energy. These energies were already there when the universe took shape, and your body, your house, your fire, water, and even your human destiny were made of these energies. ”

"It's... It's just fantasy. ”

"Fantasy? Let's talk about science. First of all, do you believe in fortune tellers? Someone stopped you on the road, saying that you have a heavenly bone on your forehead, a spiritual light in your eyes, the reincarnation of an immortal, and a god descending to earth, and then risking revealing the heavenly secret to show you a hologram, do you believe it? ”

"If you don't believe, you're basically blind. Master, you also look at Stephen Chow, hehe. ”

"Nonsense, can't I be a little entertained? Now having said that, believe it or not, this is the general modern opinion. Someone came up and told you that you have recently had a bloody disaster, don't say it's you, I'll smoke him instead. ”

"What does this have to do with science?"

"Do you know what a Laplace demon is?"

"I don't know, youkai?"

"Haha, I guess you don't know. This theory was proposed by the Gallic mathematician Laplace in the 19th century, how about the last 200 years. He believed that if we knew the exact position and momentum of each atom in the universe, we could use Newton's laws to calculate and represent the entire course of events in the universe, including the past and the future. Doesn't it sound confusing, but in fact, as long as you know the position and momentum of the atoms that make up you, theoretically, your past and future can be calculated, which is scientific fortune-telling using mathematical formulas. Do you know what theory in the scientific community is questioning the Laplace demon? It is the indecision in your mouth, the interpretation of quantum mechanics in quantum mechanics. ”

I don't think I'm talking to a practitioner about how to fly, I'm talking to a science instructor about the progress of humanity.

"Why is quantum mechanics questioning the Laplace demon?"

Due to the uncertainty of the position of the electrons, it is ineffective to try to calculate the position of a gaseous oxygen molecule after 50 collisions with other molecules, even if the interaction only considers Newtonian mechanics. Moreover, the irreversible processes of 19th-century physics, entropy, and the second law of thermodynamics made Laplace's demon impossible. The possibility of Laplace is based on the reversible processes of classical mechanics, while thermodynamic theory states that real physical processes are irreversible. It is possible to predict now that it is possible to calculate the past, but it is impossible to calculate the future because the amount of computing is too large to do. Lao Cao almost raised a teaching whip and took a marker pen to give a lecture on the stage, how did I see that the old professor of statistics at my university possessed him.

"That's too profound! You practitioners also study science? I really felt like I was looking for sin.

"It's not complicated, there is encyclopedia knowledge on the Internet, do you think we are so idle to study these? There is not enough time to practice every day. Lao Cao finally put down the virtual whip and changed back to the teapot.

Okay, count me in vain, it turns out that you also copied someone else's. I looked at Lao Cao a little speechlessly, and then asked casually, are you Gui Geng this year?

"I, I like that. You guess! ”

"What an adult, childlike innocence. 50? ”

"Guess again. Guess up. ”

“70?”

"I was born in 1840 and Daoguang for 20 years, so my big name is Cao Geng, Geng in the year of Gengzi."

"Holy, centenarian, but you look like you're in your 50s."

"So I like people to guess my age, hahahaha." , the mentality of centenarians is really good.

"Juexing Daoist said that the knot Dan has a three-yuan lifespan, 180 years old, so you have a knot?"

"Yes, I've been married a long time ago."

"No wonder he asked me to ask you anything. Daoist Jue Xing said that he is thousands of years old, what realm is he in now? ”

"In the realm, his old man is actually a golden pill, but he is a pure yang body, and he is no longer in reincarnation."

"What is a pure yang body??"

"You know that people have reincarnation, although the six realms of reincarnation were proposed by the Buddhists, they are actually similar. But which one is reincarnated in is actually not determined by the underworld, but is determined by the person's good and bad karma. If there is more good and less evil, it is the three good paths, and vice versa. But the pure yang body is different, the pure yang body is to only do good deeds for several lifetimes, accumulate good karma, and turn all the bad karma into good karma in a certain lifetime. That is to say, the body of this person is pure and bright, without a trace of darkness, which is called pure yang body. People with pure yang bodies do not enter reincarnation, have no desires, have no desires, have the nature of a child, and are truly free and easy. ”

"Isn't that the way to become an immortal?"

"Almost, our oriental gods and immortals, they are all cultivated by themselves, Juexing Master Ancestor has cultivated into a pure yang body in this life, so although he hasn't seen it in his previous lives, it should be very hard. So although he and I are both Jindan cultivators, they are not the same. ”

"Will you be reincarnated then?"

"It's hard to say, when the hour comes, it will naturally come, and if the time is not enough, I'll be greedy to live, hahaha."

Through Lao Cao and Jue Xing Dao Chang, I really felt the open-mindedness of the cultivators, who tried their best to do everything but did not force it, and worked hard and did not rush for quick success. You can laugh at any time. But looking at his face now, how can it not match Lao Cao, who made me think about my position that day.

Seeing that it was almost 3 o'clock, I offered to borrow a room for cultivation, and then told Lao Cao what Xuandu told me that day. Lao Cao raised his eyebrows, which means that you can cultivate one qi and three clears at such a young age, which is a bit incredible. But he didn't say anything, pointed to the innermost room upstairs, and said, "It's empty, you can go by yourself, I have a yoga mat in the room, you can use it." ”。

Well, now the masters use yoga mats, although they don't feel like futons, but they don't have a buttocks.

I looked at the time and started to make movements. Not to mention, when you do it for the third time, you can feel when you put your hand on your head, not only your own hands, but also three hands protecting the top of your head. And every movement it takes, it seems like several people doing it together, and it starts to feel clumsy, but it becomes clearer and smoother. When I do the full set, I feel that my breath is prolonging, and the breath out and intake are a little longer than at the beginning.

Lao Cao was still drinking tea after going out, so I told him this feeling. He listened intently, but was noncommittal. Then he told me that he didn't know either, because he hadn't practiced this Dao method, and he hadn't seen any senior brothers practice it, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense. It seems that I can only figure it out on my own.

"Are there many more Daofa?"

"Of course, some of them are cultivators, such as the Flying Sword; Some are mind-cultivating practices, such as sitting meditation and seeking the path; Some are cultivating the senses and being happy with enmity, such as sword cultivation and demon cultivation; Others look at feng shui, break yin and yang, and even try cases and see doctors, and cultivating to the extreme are all Taoism. ”

"Isn't that very common, isn't the Taoism so popular?"

"Then how advanced do you think the Dao should be? Eating and sleeping are all spiritual practices. ”

"It's completely different from what I thought."

"You are led astray by the world, and this is not to blame you, masters with ulterior motives exist everywhere. Some people just take advantage of the feeling in people's hearts that cultivators are all high up and the fog is faint, and deliberately fool people. In fact, the practice is very simple, and the most important thing is to persevere. For example, if you do it today, can you last for 20 years? If you can, this is part of the Tao, and every day of comprehension is very important for yourself. No accumulation of steps, no thousands of miles, young man. ”

Think about them carefully, and then look at Lao Cao, and even tomatoes. In fact, they didn't deliberately hide anything, nor did they deliberately show anything. Everything comes from within, and it goes with the flow, maybe that's the way.

I said goodbye to Lao Cao, and I felt very comfortable driving on the road. In the past, there would be a little bit of speeding, and I always felt that I could drive faster and get to my destination earlier. Now I suddenly feel that in fact, whether it is fast or slow, I can't delay much time. It's not the time that's really delayed, it's your own mood. I make myself frizzy and my mood deteriorates, so much so that I feel that nothing is going well.

Driving back home, Masako has already started cooking. She is really virtuous, although she is a fox clan, but she is still a good family. Tonight, we prepared a typical Sakura Country dinner: rice, stewed tofu and radish in miso soup, Sakura Country-style hamburger meat and lettuce, and pickled gherkins. It's very light, according to this way of eating, nine out of nine can be thin, and there is basically no oil.

We chatted while eating, and I asked her a lot about the customs of the Sakura Country, especially the customs of the Yokai of the Sakura Country. What she means is that since the Heian period, there have actually been onmyoji who have discovered that demons and humans are not the same dimension, but in some places the magnetic field is more chaotic. Demons can go to our dimension, and people can also go to the dimension of demons to get rid of demons. So at that time, enchantments were set up in these places, and Yin-Yang Liao was established to manage them. And the overall geomagnetism of the island country of Sakura is very strange, so it is especially easy to have demons strung around. So much so that by now, demons have blatantly mixed with humans, especially the fox clan, the tanuki clan and various materialized demons are hidden in human society. In her own words, Sakura Country seems to be a gateway to other worlds and this world.
