Chapter 222: Natural Selection

"Man is born of monkeys. Looking at this conclusion that even a child would laugh at, Cheng Yi's face turned pale.

"The Difference Between Man and Universal Animals......"

"The difference between a human and a monkey......"

Cheng Yi's eyes slowly moved over the writing, but his mind was blank, he Cheng Yi is different from most people in the world, he Cheng Yi is a generation of grandmasters, he is a grandmaster-level figure who created Luoxue, others read these subversive conclusions, even if they approve it in their hearts, they will not lose much, but they are excited because they have learned new knowledge.

But he Cheng Yi.

Once all the conclusions in the book are correct, then his Cheng Yi's Luoxue foundation will collapse with a bang.

As a martial artist, a person like Cheng Yi, martial arts concepts and ideas are the root of life, and the results obtained by studying all his life are all a pile of garbage, who can accept it?

"The Three Principles and Five Constants are the supreme principles of the world, and they are the supreme principles of all things that have existed between heaven and earth since the existence of the world......"

"But what if the man was made of monkeys?"

"Isn't it possible that monkeys also pay attention to the three outlines and five constants, monkeys also have emperors, and the emperor of monkeys is also endowed with the will of heaven and is the son of heaven?"

......

Time passed, and it took a long time for Cheng Yi's blank head to slowly regain some senses.

"No ......"

"Wrong!

"He, Qin Xianao, and Duan Haifeng have made up a big lie! Everything is to destroy me, to destroy all factions in the world, especially the intelligent spirit of Confucianism, they are the devils, and the devils want chaos in the world, and they want to be majestic for a while, how can they care about the hardships of the people of Li? Therefore, they don't believe in the induction of heaven and man handed down from ancient times!"

"I don't believe in the Confucian sense of heaven and man!"

......

Cheng Yi shouted frantically in his head, but a voice on the other side was shouting again, "What's wrong? Everything you said in this book "The Origin of Species", where did you say that it was wrong?"

Although his argument is correct. But there are more things he doesn't prove? It is true that man was born of a monkey by a few signs, but is what he sees the whole world for? No, he is just a blind man touching an elephant and writing what he sees......

"Moreover, even if it is as he said, how can he prove that Confucian ethics and morality did not exist since ancient times? and how can he prove that it is not because human beings conform to the principles of heaven and earth such as the Three Principles and the Five Constants that they have become human beings?"

Gradually, Cheng Yi's eyes became firm.

"He Duan Haifeng is right in this book. However, what he saw was too one-sided compared to the mysteries of the whole heaven and earth, so his conclusion could not be correct at all. Cheng Yi laughed and read it energetically again.

Sima Guang, Lu Gongshu, Cheng Yi and other people from the Confucian Alliance read this book "The Origin of Species", "The Origin of Species" was published for the first time in the 19th century in the original history, and the views in it shocked countless people, but there is nothing surprising in the eyes of Sima Guang, Cheng Yi, these old treacherous and well-informed, and who have struggled with various schools of thought all their lives.

Even more bizarre views. They won't be surprised, but when these ideas are actually proven with facts, with data, in a convincing way......

The Oriental academic community has always emphasized conjecture, not empirical evidence, humanities, and slats, and takes science seriously.

So. Duan Haifeng was very different, and as soon as an academic book was written in full accordance with the rules in the "Theory of Tools", it appeared. And the views in it are completely different from what they insist......

In the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"It's okay if people are born from monkeys, but ......," Sima Guang's forehead was bruised, "but all life in this world, whether it is animals or plants, has only one ancestor?"

"An ancestor, a life born out of water. And then it developed into the world that it is now?"

"Creatures from simple to complex?"

Sima Guang shouted frantically in his heart, although his doctrine is somewhat different from Cheng Yi's, but the general idea is still in the same vein, Cheng Yi pays attention to Confucian ethics, and the three outlines and five constants are the supreme principles between heaven and earth. It has existed since there was heaven and earth, there is a world, and there is life, and it has not changed for eternity.

Sima Guang's doctrine is the same, but he believes that Confucian ethics, the Three Principles and Five Constants are the will of God, and Heaven is the father of all things, according to the Three Principles and Five Constants, the Father's order cannot be violated, so we must act in accordance with God's orders and will, and if we violate it, we will be sent by God.

However, the rules revealed in "The Origin of Species" are that human beings have only one common ancestor with all life, and then 'natural selection, survival of the fittest', and countless species have developed, among which those who do not adapt to the natural environment have disappeared, but have not disappeared, and those who have survived are constantly evolving and mutating, including people who evolved from monkeys, all of which have nothing to do with ethics and morality.

The so-called Three Principles and Five Constants are nothing more than those made up by later generations......

Sima Guang, Lu Gong, Cheng Yi...... All of them were shocked, thinking about whether their concept was correct, or was this "Origin of Species" correct?

People from other sects in the martial arts world were also reading this book at the moment, and Wang Anshi of Jiangning was full of red light.

"Natural selection, survival of the fittest!" Wang Anshi laughed heartily, sonic shock roof tiles, "Okay, what a 'natural selection, survival of the fittest!', if you say so, the natural phenomena that I have been unable to figure out before are also clear." ”

is different from Sima Guang, Cheng Yi, and Lu Gong's writings, Wang Anshi's thoughts are flying, his eyebrows are dancing, and the more different the views in it, the more excited Wang Anshi is, and even plays a few haha from time to time.

"Man is made of monkeys?"

"It's also a loss for Duan Haifeng to think of it, it's worthy of subverting the demon king!"

"All life in the world has only one ancestor, from low to high, from simple to complex slowly evolved, among which there have been countless species, most of them died out because they did not adapt to the natural environment, and only those who adapted to the environment survived. All of these are just very normal natural phenomena, and when people are monkeys, where else can they talk about the induction of heaven and man? Only when we gradually have wisdom, and gradually our wisdom is getting higher and higher, will we come up with these inductions of heaven and man!" Wang Anshi sighed in his heart, what is the biggest obstacle he receives when he changes the law!

"I changed the law back then, and I was unlucky, it coincided with a year of natural disasters, and these natural disasters ......"

Confucianism believes most in the omen of heaven, believing that once the imperial court is not properly governed, heaven will send disasters, so during Wang Anshi's reform, the drought and flood in some places were used by the scholars, Sima Guang and other old parties to attack Wang Anshi, spread rumors among the people, and presented various impeachment chapters in the imperial court.

Although Wang Anshi doesn't believe in these, but the entire scholar class believes in it, and the people in the whole world believe it, so can he Wang Anshi still implement the law change very well?

"Although I never believe in the so-called celestial induction, but it is one thing to not believe in myself, and it is the biggest regret that I can't find a good way to refute these believers, and this time ......"

Wang Anshi looked at the book in his hand, and sighed infinitely in his heart, "The physiological structure, heredity, growth and other knowledge of plants and animals mentioned in this book have opened the old man's eyes, and the other knowledge mentioned in it, the movement of the earth's crust, the vicissitudes of the sea into mulberry fields, is really unimaginable, if the knowledge he talked about here is true, then this knowledge alone is enough for people to study for a lifetime, and this knowledge alone is ...... if you use the secret of longevity."

"No wonder Qin Xianao is called the first strange book in the world, it's not in vain that I have been looking forward to seeing this book every day for the past month, and my days are like ...... years."

In a palatial attic.

"Interesting, interesting, it turns out that they are born like this. Zhao Tingzhi clapped his hands and laughed. Although Zhao Tingzhi's Shangrong school doctrine cannot be separated from Confucianism, there is no way, and if he is not linked to Confucianism, his school will not be able to live so well, so if some views of Confucianism can be overturned, Zhao Tingzhi is happy to see it.

Of course, being happy to see the 'subverting demon king' attacking Confucianism does not mean that as long as Duan Haifeng subverts Confucianism's views, he Zhao Tingzhi agrees.

The views mentioned in the preface of this book "The Origin of Species" are not opposed or approved by Zhao Tingzhi, but as he reads them, he is conquered by the rigorous arguments in the book.

"The afterlife is terrifying, and it may ...... This is the real way to learn!"

All kinds of arguments, coupled with all kinds of new knowledge jumping out of it, made Zhao Tingzhi suddenly understand many natural phenomena that were puzzled before, so involuntarily, Zhao Tingzhi applauded.

At this moment, Su Shi in the pavilion looked at the "Origin of Species" in his hand, and his whole body trembled slightly with excitement.

"The old man has traveled all his life, and he has seen a lot of these, but he has been confused when he has seen them, but this sea peak is ...... No, Qin Shengchao has analyzed all the principles in it, although these principles may not be correct, but his analysis alone can justify itself, which is very remarkable!"

"This son, isn't it really Wenqu Xing?" Su Shi read the book, occasionally jumped out of the pavilion, and took the knowledge in the book to conduct a comparative study with some flowers and trees next to him, the more he studied, the more convinced he became.

Su Shi had a bumpy life, he had been an official in the local capital, and it can be said that he had been to many places in the north and south of the river, so he had seen a lot of species, and there were many natural puzzles, but when he saw this book, many of his confusions were easily solved.

In the hidden place behind the rocks, Shen Kuo looked at the book in his hand, breathing sharply, and his face turned red.

"Thoroughly described, the description of natural phenomena has never been ...... before"

Shen Kuo has the most knowledge of nature among the cattle people of the entire Great Song Dynasty, so when he reads this book, he is also very aware of the gold content in it.

"Ten points of talent in the belly, less than three points in the pen, to write such a book, how much should this Qin Xianao know......" Shen Kuo glared.

"And although I wrote "Dream Creek Bi Tan" also analyzed a lot of natural phenomena in the world, but those are very fragmented, the second is not systematic, and the third is from the natural world, how these flowers and trees, insects, fish, birds and beasts grow into this shape is very little understood, and this book, although it does not mainly talk about those knowledge, everything is just to demonstrate the law of species change, but this point has made the old man embarrassed!"

The hundreds of schools of thought, non-mainstream schools do not agree with the views in "The Origin of Species", but the prejudice is not as deep as the bigwigs of the Confucian Alliance, so when you really read the book with your heart, it is easy to be conquered by the rich knowledge and rigorous arguments in the book, and I feel that this is a really informative, unprecedentedly good book, and even completely agree with the views in the book in some places.
