Chapter 451: The Chicken or the Egg (Part II)
"Dao Chief, your statement is a bit far-fetched!" Gongsun Chao heard Ye Qingxuan say this, how could he not know what idea this Taoist priest had in his heart, Zuo is just some human race tamed birds, and then birds turned into hens!
Thinking of this, Gongsun Chao sneered, and then said in a long voice, "Dao Chief, what you said seems to be very reasonable at first glance, but you don't know that this chicken is a thing, since the record of beating the human race, there has never been any domestication, as far as the dynasty knows, this chicken was already a chicken when it was discovered by the sages, and it was definitely not a bird, and the chicken at that time was different from today's chickens, but it was by no means a bird."
Besides, there are a lot of wild phoenix chickens in the mountains and forests now! Yes, the Taoist wants to use this argument to get away with the confusion, but it is really a bit whimsical, and even more, as the Taoist said, this chicken is domesticated from birds, and where did the eggs that hatched the first chicken come from?"
On the students in the audience, after hearing Ye Qingxuan's example, naturally some people thought of this in their hearts, but they were not as knowledgeable as Gongsun Chaolai, and they were still admiring themselves in their hearts, but after hearing Gongsun Chao's words, they were a little indistinguishable for a while!
As a result, under the platform that had gradually quieted down, it was divided into two factions again, and it gradually became noisy.
At this time, only listening to the Taoist platform, a rather majestic voice came out, "Master Gongsun is right, I have countless books in the Jixia School Palace, naturally there are records of this, if the Taoist wants to use this to prove that there are chickens and then eggs, then it is no wonder that you will be judged to lose!"
"Master Xin has spoken, there will definitely be no mistake!!" The students were still convinced by Xin Yan's words, after all, since he presided over the Dao Palace, he could really be called fair and strict.
"Good!" Ye Qingxuan heard the words of the two, the expression on his face did not change at all, he just nodded lightly, and then continued: "The example of the wolf and the dog that the poor Dao Fang just gave just wanted the layman to know that between living things, it is not always the same, since the wolf can be domesticated by the human race to become a dog, then how can a bird not become a chicken?"
Seeing that Gongsun Chao wanted to speak again, Ye Qingxuan whipped the dust and immediately continued without giving him a chance, "It's just that this wolf turned into a dog, which was through human hands, and the bird into a chicken was through nature or the Great Dao!"
Speaking of this, Ye Qingxuan's face was solemn, and he announced a Taoist slogan in his mouth, and then continued, "The Natural Avenue is everything, of course, there is that natural selection!"
Swimming fish will breathe in the water, that is necessary for survival, the reason why most snakes are poisonous and colorful, that is naturally the need to hunt for survival, why the beast is infinitely powerful, fast running, that is naturally also to be able to prey to satisfy hunger!
Since swimming fish, poisonous snakes, and beasts of prey are all like this, then the birds can fly naturally, and flying is their unique ability to survive!
The way of nature, natural selection, is this master Gongsun Chao, and I have to admit that Ye Qingxuan saw Gongsun Chao nodding, and then continued, "If one day, the environment changes abruptly, and the sky is full of dangers, flying not only does not allow the birds to survive better, but will make them lose their lives, so what?"
When everyone heard this, they were silent, Ye Qingxuan continued, "In ancient times, trolls were everywhere, and it is even said that there was a time when a heavenly fire fell.
So in the long run, those birds that can fly to the sky gradually all die, and those who do not want to fly, or cannot fly, will be even more reluctant to fly into the sky, and gradually, these birds will lose the ability to fly.
Subsequently, these birds, which have lost their ability to fly, have to develop sharp beaks with curved hooks in order to survive, and those who do not have to grow are starved to death because they do not have enough food.
Then, these birds that were lucky enough to grow beaks, and in order to obtain more food and the ability to protect themselves, they grew hooks and claws, and because they no longer needed to fly into the sky, the wings of these birds, which had undergone such a major change, naturally also quietly degenerated, becoming a small one.
In this way, unconsciously, the first chicken in this world was born! Moreover, because this kind of change can not only be successful in one or two generations, this time, must be thousands or even tens of thousands of years, it exists in the eggs of birds that are constantly hatching, and the eggs that hatch the first chicken cannot be called eggs, but can only be birds' eggs!
Of course, the change of this bird will naturally not be such a single kind, but today, the poor Tao is about chickens and eggs, so naturally only this one is said, so the layman understands?"
Ye Qingxuan's voice echoed in the Dao Palace like a trickle, including Gongsun Chao, as soon as everyone heard it, it seemed that there was a picture scroll of birds surviving and evolving, unfolding in front of them, although Ye Qingxuan said that it was a bird, but this truth, for other species, why is it not so? For a while, everyone sank into it, quite a feeling of inextricability.
"This!" Gongsun Chao was shocked for a while when he heard Ye Qingxuan's words, he created his own famous master, who used to only delve into thinking sophistry and attach importance to logic, how could he have ever thought that a small question could lead to such a grandiose discussion about the evolution of life?
Yes, Gongsun Chao opened his mouth for a while, he clearly knew that these were just Ye Qingxuan's assumptions, but Ye Qingxuan's assumptions, one link after another, were extremely harmonious, that is, he wanted to find out the mistakes and omissions, and they all seemed a little powerless!
Just as Gongsun Chao was stammering, he heard Ye Qingxuan's voice coming over again: "Layman, although you are unparalleled in argumentation, but this argument is just sophistry, if it is like Fang Cai's white horse is not a horse, in the end, the poor road is an example, but the layman involuntarily fell into his own trap and couldn't jump out."
Moreover, in the view of the poor road, anything that you want to affirm will definitely be able to find relevant arguments from it, just like a white horse and not a horse, and what you want to deny is also the same, yes, only sophistry, but empty talk, not involving the avenue, after all, it is just a void.
Things are things, things are things, they are born like this, even if you say that the sky is wild, no matter how good it sounds, their essence will never change!
Therefore, I hope that the layman will see through the obstacles as soon as possible and truly walk out of his own way!"
After saying this, Ye Qingxuan stopped, and then looked at Gongsun Chao with a faint look in his eyes, he said everything that should be said, what is the truth, he also believes that Xin Yan has his own judgment, and the debate with this "bar essence" is really the most painstaking since entering the Jixia School Palace!
