Chapter 136: Wisdom and Eternal Life
"So, do you think that within the Wisdom Fruit or the Life Fruit, there is some unknown energy similar to the aura of heaven and earth?
For example, in traditional Chinese culture, do you think that Qi refining is a way to use this unknown energy? ”
Bai Ning's direction of response made Jiang Yingxue quickly think of some similar energy concepts, if this concept is true, then the so-called supernatural phenomena, remote vision, telepathy, mind control, etc., can all be summed up in this way.
Obviously, this kind of overly crude inductive method and too unprovable energy description made Jiang Yingxue feel shocked at the same time, and at the same time, a sense of doubt quickly rose in her heart.
There may be some unknown form of energy in this world waiting for humans to discover, but it would be too childish to define the end of science as metaphysics.
"In the Chinese mythological system, there are also immortals, and there are also immortals in the fairy world.
Similar to the mythological elements of the Tree of Life, there are also the famous ginseng fruit trees.
The myths and stories of any civilization system will describe something unknown and incomprehensible in a very concrete way.
What elixir, fairy fruit, immortal spells, and magic weapons are just a concentrated summary of some unknown phenomenon, and as for the specific principle, it is usually unknown.
As for my current speculation about this fruit, there is an assumption about an unknown energy, and it is only an extension of the soul conjecture.
As for yes and no, we can only make some empirical summaries.
All my current judgments about this kind of thing that has exceeded our current scientific expectations are just simple conjectures.
Conjecture has nothing to do with right or wrong, but only a direction of exploration, a possibility that leads to truth. ”
Bai Ning's response is still rigorous, although his topic is still hovering between science and metaphysics, but who can tell them whether what they are doing now is between science and metaphysics?
Strictly speaking, there are only two things in this world: matter and energy, and all human beings' spiritual pursuits and world cognition are based on material foundations.
The most basic thing of a material life is to survive and reproduce.
As for the principles and mysteries in this world that have nothing to do with food, clothing, shelter and transportation, they have nothing to do with the existence of human beings at all.
At most, the current technology of human beings can only change the form of material aggregation on the earth, and occasionally throw one or two pieces of space junk into nearby planets.
Human beings are small after all, and even the search for wisdom and eternal life is only because of the need for it.
Why is the lifespan of human beings as short as ants compared to the universe, and why is it that human beings have exhausted the wisdom of all wise men for thousands of years, and their understanding of this universe is still very one-sided?
No one knows the answer to this question, but that doesn't prevent people from having basic visions and fantasies.
Since it is a fantasy, the best attitude towards it is to be eclectic, that is, to be imaginative.
What if it's wrong?
If it's wrong, it's wrong.
"Seeking success is a common disease of investors, and this is my occupational disease again."
Jiang Yingxue shrugged her shoulders and quickly introduced the topic in other directions.
This withered fruit may lead to wisdom or to eternal life.
So, what is the purpose of the existence of ancient ruins that has been preserved for so many years?
If this fruit is only a very common thing in the Fourth Civilization, even if it is really precious, will something that can be reproduced and mass-produced be preserved for so many years with such preciousness?
The fact that you can use it as the ultimate secret to bring out the Ancient Ruins probably means that this fruit is the starting point for all research into the Ancient Ruins.
Even, this fruit is a certain taboo of the religion of the fourth civilization, representing a certain taboo of the divine civilization. ”
Where is the height of the civilization of the Fourth Civilization, they may only be able to guess, based on their adventures in the ancient ruins, this height is already beyond their reach, let alone unimaginable.
However, even if the civilization of the Fourth Civilization is as powerful as this, it cannot be attributed to all the incredible things.
Some of the ancient myths and legends of the Fifth Civilization may come from the Fourth Civilization, but not necessarily all of them come from the Fourth Civilization.
Perhaps, the mysterious energy contained in the Wisdom Fruit is also something that cannot be reached by the Fourth Civilization.
Perhaps, all the subsequent civilizations are just trying to restore the grandeur of the original civilization and get a glimpse of some of the ancient civilizations that have reached the pinnacle.
"Regardless of whether the study of this fruit originated from the Fourth Civilization or not, it can be passed down and studied tirelessly by future generations, which shows its continuity.
Based on this mainstream of research, the possibility of rediscovering the clues of various civilization relics left over from history will also be higher. ”
Bai Ning's final remarks are more like a definition of certain risk-taking behaviors in the future, and a kind of firmness of basic confidence in risk-taking.
"Why, this is just a Jedi escape, and it's about to start the next Jedi journey again so soon?
Tell me, how much money and food do you need this time? ”
Bai Ning's indomitable spirit of exploration is also what Jiang Yingxue appreciates the most.
Whether it was because of the small goal in her heart about the possibility of immortality, or because of Bai Ning's courageous belief and bravery, Jiang Yingxue couldn't help but want to ask this question.
"Not yet, I'm just talking about a possibility."
What made Jiang Yingxue wonder was that Bai Ning's follow-up answer seemed to be very honest, and he didn't have any idea of painting a big pie.
This feeling was as if Bai Ning had pinched her Jiang Yingxue's lifeline, knowing that any of his Bai Ning's requests would not be refused.
Something a little fearless about the desire to get away with it.
This is a big taboo in ordinary business negotiations, but at that moment, at this sunny moment, Jiang Yingxue didn't want to care about this.
To be able to share the vision that belongs to this man, and to pursue the truth that may be unique in all kinds of imaginative worlds, is in itself something that a person who pursues the ultimate enjoyment in the midst of business warfare should equally pursue.
"That's not your level.
Even if it's just some unfounded speculation, just say it.
Maybe some of my other investments have what you need. ”
Bai Ning is just a lonely adventurer, but Jiang Yingxue is indeed a mature and generous investor, how to integrate the resources in his hands is a compulsory course for a successful businessman.
Such a request is indeed a very huge temptation for Bai Ning.
It feels very familiar, just like she Jiang Yingxue is the one who controls the situation here.
However, in Bai Ning's opinion, she didn't seem to realize what she was facing now.
A dry fruit that may represent wisdom and eternal life can already drive many people crazy, and the other possibilities behind it do not seem to be measured by some worldly wealth.
"Hera, the queen of God, is located in a sacred orchard in the Far West, and its guardian is the dragon Ladon.
In both Eastern and Western myths and legends, there are rumors of dragons, but there are slight differences in the descriptions of dragons between the two.
Western dragons are much larger and can fly mainly because they have a pair of huge wings;
The body of the Oriental Dragon is more slender, although there are also Ying Dragons with wings, but whether they can fly or not does not depend on wings at all. ”
I heard that Bai Ning suddenly shifted the topic to the dragon, although this legendary animal is extremely mysterious, it doesn't seem to have any connection with the wisdom fruit.
"Are you forcibly associating the Garden of Eden with the Sacred Orchard?
With dragons and vipers having scales in common, do you want to force the dragon and snake together?
Even in the Chinese mythological system, there has always been a saying that a snake cultivates into a dragon, but this association is still too far-fetched. ”
In Jiang Yingxue's opinion, although Bai Ning's association is extremely creative, it is indeed too far-fetched.
There are also fish with scale armor, and there is also a saying that the carp jumps over the dragon gate, so it can't be said that it was a carp essence that induced Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, right?!
"Snake into a python, a python into a python, a python into a dragon, this is the general mythological rumor of the snake into a dragon.
If we don't consider this process of transforming into a dragon from the perspective of mythology, and only regard things like dragons, dragons, and dragons as some ordinary species classifications, then this cultivation route is equivalent to an evolutionary path.
Just as in traditional evolutionary theory, our human ancestors were actually fish.
The theory of evolution is not a very advanced science, but it is a kind of biostatistics, and it is not impossible that in ancient times, when biodiversity was more abundant, a scientist similar to Charles Darwin summed up the theory of evolution and set the evolutionary path of the serpentine dragon. ”
Bai Ning, who was interrupted, did not show any displeasure, and what he said afterwards made Jiang Yingxue look a little embarrassed.
When struck by some assumptions that are beyond one's own understanding, people will always instinctively arouse some rebellious emotions.
If you rebel against the standard and lose the standard, then you will look stupid.
"The dragon, as a species in myths and legends, is a noble species that is included in the Chinese zodiac, and it is the only species that does not exist, which has caused many people to think deeply.
Many people think that there must have been dragons a long time ago, and it is also stated in the "Zuo Biography" that dragons existed during the Shun Emperor period, and some people were named Fenglong because they were good at raising dragons.
Not only that, in modern times, there have also been dragon sightings, that is, the Yingkou falling dragon incident.
All evidence points to the fact that the dragon is not fictional, but a magical creature of ancient times, something that existed in both the East and the West.
So, is this dried fruit inherited from ancient times also in the same era as the dragon?
The dragon has no wings, but it can take off, and as a living being, it can soar clouds and rain, so is it possible that the things that dominate its special attributes are related to the strange energy contained in this dry fruit? ”
Bai Ning's follow-up reasoning made Jiang Yingxue further silent, at this time Bai Ning's theory had constituted a closed loop, and it was a reasoning conclusion that could not be easily rejected.
