The sailboat sailed for several days. Strangely, however, as we go deeper into the sea, fewer and fewer fish are caught.

Ji Lingxing lifted the fishing line again, but it was empty.

"This is the seventh fish of the day swimming directly past my rod and ignoring the bait. The little girl sighed and said, "Could it be that these baits have expired and cannot fool the fish?"

"Ninth sister. Ji Aojian pointed to the distance and said, "About ten nautical miles ahead, there seems to be an anomalous area, and all kinds of fish in the sea have fled from that place, so they can't care about our bait." ”

"Oh. Ji Lingxing subconsciously responded, and then said strangely, "Why don't I feel it? I also have a heaven and earth clock." ”

"Well," Ji Aojian thought for a while, "Feeling the information of heaven and earth should be positively correlated with the volume and weight of the equipment." Your weight is lighter than mine, so your power is not as great as mine. ”

"What is the reason for this?" Ji Lingxing said very dissatisfied, "The third sister is not as heavy as you, do you dare to say that you are farther than the third sister?"

"It's different, the third sister's spiritual sense is more advanced than mine, and the quality is far better than the weight. But the two of us are still models of the same level, so the power is very important. ”

“...... That's right, too. ”

After another voyage, Lian Ji Lingxing sensed, or rather saw a strange thing in front of him, which had risen from the horizon.

I saw a column of azure water spinning and spinning, standing high above the sea level, as if there was a huge fountain surging strongly, supporting this strange scene.

"This?" Ji Lingxing was already dumbfounded, "Little sword." It was a strange scene, I had never heard of a fountain under the sea that could spray so high above the sea. Let's get out of here. ”

Ji Aojian shook his head, "My own people." Why stay away?"

"What of your own people?"

"Didn't you see that it was the third sister standing on top of the spring pillar?"

"Huh?"

"You're running out of power, look at this. Ji Aojian handed over a high-powered telescope.

The little girl grabbed the advanced detection tools, and immediately looked at the top of the water column in the distance, and sure enough, she saw a person standing on it, with a black robe and eighteen chapters.

As the Kirk sailed near, the column of water on the surface of the sea gradually lowered until it was parallel to the deck.

A blonde girl in a crown dress stretched her feet lightly and stepped over the side of the ship from the water column. With a long body, a dragon face and a phoenix posture, he smiled slightly, "Your trip is about to end?"

Ji Lingxing stuck out his tongue, "Third sister, how do you know that we came back from this route and were waiting for us at sea?"

Could it be that the third sister's spiritual sense can already cover the whole of Europe, it is really amazing! The little girl's heart is full of worship.

"I know it's easy for you to come back, the intelligence system of the financial consortium has a network all over Europe. ”

"@#¥%......" Ji Lingxing said sullenly, "when I didn't ask." ”

Ji Shengdian didn't care. Glancing at the sailboat at his feet, "How old is this ship?"

"The seller says it's six or seven hundred years old, and it's been handed down from the Middle Ages. Ji Aojian replied, "Actually." It must have been modeled after the style of an ancient ship. ”

"Hey!" Ji Lingxing was unhappy, "Why are you so sure it's an antique ship?"

"The wooden ships of the Middle Ages have long since decayed. How can you continue to use it?"

"The rotten parts can be slowly maintained and replaced, and it's normal to spread to this day. ”

"Alright. No need to argue. "Ji Shengdian stopped them," Xiao Ling. Let me ask you a question. ”

The little girl immediately assumed the appearance of listening intently.

"A wooden boat, in the process of use, if a plank is damaged, it will be replaced, this boat is still not the original boat?"

"Absolutely. Ji Lingxing said without hesitation, "It's just that part of the hull has been replaced, and this ship has not disappeared, and what was originally registered is still what kind of ship." ”

"Then there is an ancient ship from the Middle Ages, which is still in use today. But after hundreds of years of repairs, in the end all the hull parts have been replaced. Ji Shengdian said leisurely, "So the current ship, is it still not the original ship, or is it a completely different ship?"

Ji Lingxing followed his original train of thought and said, "This ship has always existed and has always been used, of course, it is still the original ship." ”

"But when the ship was built, there wasn't even a single plank left of the hull. ”

"This ......" the little girl was reminded and immediately hesitated, "all the original planks on the hull of the ship are gone, can this ship be considered the original ship?"

"Yes, Xiao Ling, I'm asking you. ”

"You make me think about it slowly. Ji Lingxing held his chin and squatted to the side to meditate and think about it.

Ji Aojian looked at the two Ninth Sisters, whose eyes were popping out circles and rings, and said, "Third Sister, what you just said is a paradox, right?"

"Xiaojian, do you know this topic?"

"Hmm. Ji Aojian nodded, "This is the paradox of the ship of Theseus in ancient Europe. ”

"I have a headache!" Ji Lingxing thought for a long time, felt that his brain was about to catch fire and smoke, and shouted irritably, "Is this boat the original one?"

"Do you want to know?" Ji Shengdian smiled, "Xiao Jian, you come and tell Xiao Ling." ”

Ji Aojian was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head, "I can't say." ”

"Why don't you say it?" Ji Lingxing said very angrily, "You actually hide my secrets for me?"

"Ninth sister, this question is a paradox, the so-called paradox is that whether you understand it as yes or no, it makes sense. Ji Aojian said sincerely, "I have my own conviction in this question, but my understanding is only mine, even if I tell you, it can't make you feel convinced, so you don't need to ask me for the answer." ”

"You're talking too mysterious, aren't you?"

"Actually, what Xiaojian said is not wrong. Ji Shengdian paused for a moment and said in a mysterious and vicissitudes tone, "The essence of the Great Dao of the entire universe is composed of truth and paradox. The perception of truth and the understanding of paradoxes have multiple levels and perspectives, and there is no fixed answer or absolute correctness. Xiao Ling, even if Xiao Jian tells you his answer, it is not your own true understanding of this issue. ”

Ji Lingxing became irritable, "Could it be that this paradox has risen to the level of the Great Dao?"

"Yes, the three views of human beings have reached the point of complexity and profundity, whether it is your view of the universe, your person, or your values, you will inevitably come into contact with the challenges of all kinds of paradoxes. The so-called avenue is invisible, everyone has their own understanding, and others can't replace you to enlighten the Tao, just as others can't tell you how to solve the paradox. ”

When Ji Shengdian said this, he smiled unconsciously, "Xiao Ling, when you came out this time, your state of mind has risen to another level, and now it is time for you to comprehend the truth of heaven and earth." When you can understand and tolerate the existence of paradoxes in your three views, your inner world can truly resonate with heaven and earth. ”

"Hmm. Ji Lingxing thought for a moment and asked, "Just now Xiao Jian said that he was convinced of this problem, does that mean that he has been able to tolerate this paradox?"

"That's right. ”

"In other words, he is farther away from the sense of heaven and man than me?" the little girl glared at the boy, "What are you sure about, say it and listen to it." ”

Ji Aojian was stunned, "Isn't there no need to say it?"

"Did I ask you to explain, I just want to hear your conclusions. Ji Lingxing said dissatisfiedly, "Just tell me directly, do you think this boat is the original ship, is there anything difficult about this?"

"Oh. Ji Aojian replied without hesitation, "I think this ship is still the original ship!"

Ji Lingxing snorted, and said a little sourly, "This tone sounds really categorical, very confident." ”

"Little sword. Ji Shengdian's deep eyes looked at him, "Are you really sure that this ship, where all the planks have been replaced, is the original ship?"

"Seriously!"

"Alright, I've got an extended question, I'll ask you again. ”

Ji Aojian said indifferently, "Third sister, just ask." ”

"This ship of Theseus, in hundreds of years of repair, has changed its original hull. Then, we took the original planks from the hull and rebuilt the same boat. ”

When Ji Shengdian said this, he asked for a long time, "At this time, between the two ships, which one is the real ship of Theseus?"

Poof! Ji Aojian's scalp exploded, and he suddenly felt that his two eyes were also smoking.

"Wha!" Ji Lingxing clutched his stomach and laughed happily, "Don't you understand that you are full of confidence when you arrive home?" It turns out that it is just a false appearance, flashy, and also a superficial guy!"

Ji Aojian's face flushed, "The essence of the Great Dao has infinite levels, this, I still need to go deeper, and then go deeper into ......" (to be continued.) )
