Chapter 376 Pure Logic
What exactly are the boundaries?
In the past, Li Qi couldn't answer. He only knew that after crossing a certain limit, individuals turned into groups and sand turned into piles of sand.
But how many grains of sand constitute a sand pile? When the dead are resurrected, to what extent do they have to live to be considered truly alive?
In the past, Li Qi could only be vague about this.
And now, he can answer this question.
Because, through a large experiment, he saw the answer written down in front of him.
The answer is not a definite value, but... an idea, a rule, or a formula.
By following this rule, you can get the clear location of the boundary.
Li Qi used to be a researcher, so he was good at logic and mathematics, so he started from this aspect and began to summarize.
Instead of just setting a criterion, define a set and set something similar to a 'fuzzy membership function'. Perhaps a gradient graph can be used to represent a fuzzy membership set, and each subset in the set can represent this graph. a part of.
It's like...
Visualization is the same.
And by extending the logic of describing the tool based on this, you can get a tool. Through this tool, you can calculate the positions of all boundaries. For example, for a given domain of discourse, there will be a domain of discourse up to a specific value. This mapping can represent fuzzy sets and is used to represent the membership functions of fuzzy sets. The value of each element in this domain of discourse mapped to a specific value using this mapping rule is naturally the membership degree of the element to the fuzzy set.
According to the abstract nature of things, aiming at objective fuzzy phenomena and situations that are difficult to express intuitively, this is the method of dividing boundaries.
This is a conclusion that is absolutely invisible to the naked eye and cannot be drawn.
This conclusion only exists in thoughts and information, and can only be seen by the flow of information felt by the mind, so as to deduce and draw conclusions.
If you rely on the physical body, you can only see light effects and runes, and at most, the soul can sense some special rhythms and fluctuations.
Only the true vision of information flow can see and summarize this, which is a matter of pure logic and information, more mysterious than any rhythm.
All fluctuations and light effects are material, but this one is not.
The difference is like a piece of rice paper with "one" written on it, compared to "one" itself.
What is one?
What is ‘one’?
one person? a rock? a table? Are these the 'one'?
No, none of that, those are real things.
Fools will subconsciously ignore this problem, but true practitioners need to think about what "one" is.
Obviously, the concept of "one" does not exist in the material world. You cannot find "one" in the material world. Although the thing "one" exists everywhere, you cannot find "one" itself.
The world is full of things like a glass of water, but the "One" that is alone, pure, and uncontaminated by other substances, exists only in the mind.
Only in the mind, in the spiritual entity, can you find the One, can you discover the One itself.
Now, so is this boundary.
Li Qi finally understood why he had done so many experiments in the past six months. No matter how he observed it, he could only see changes, but not the boundaries themselves.
Because boundaries only exist in information and logic, just like the 'one', only the mind can analyze it.
What a simple, yet beautiful fact.
Li Qi watched all this, witnessing the transition between life and death from another angle, and at the same time clearly felt the flow of mind and information.
But the demon dragon was not so lucky.
He desperately wanted to be resurrected, and it could even be said that he had already been resurrected. He was struggling to escape from the underworld, but the chains from the underworld trapped him tightly and bound his body.
No matter how hard you try, you can't get rid of it.
The demonic dragon roared, its body was strangely sinuous, its blue eyes were slender, and it leaped into the air like it was flying. It roared angrily: "I'm not dead! I'm just dormant. You guys have crossed the line!"
But the undercover agents didn't say a word and continued to use hooks and ropes to tie up the demonic dragon so that it couldn't move at all.
Li Qi watched the tug-of-war quietly.
The stalemate lasted for about a minute, but a dharma image appeared in the iron city.
The Dharma Appearance was a hundred feet tall, holding a wolf-hair pen, wearing a robe, and a big crown on his head. His face was green and black, and he shouted in the air:
The voice of the Dharma crosstalk was booming: "Crocodile dragon, you still dare to quibble. We have already recorded the theory of reincarnation and retribution. Your guilt is recorded in the records. You have always relied on your cultivation, indulged in greed and cruelty, bullied the common people, disobeyed the way of heaven, and used witchcraft to survive." , now the evil messenger comes, and he doesn’t know how to self-examine, and dares to make arrogant remarks, and falsely accuses me of the government! Come on, let’s go to Litongue Prison together!”
Following his order, several ghost soldiers followed the order and joined the battlefield.
Then the judge-like figure began to write the verdict in the air.
"The crocodile dragon was born comatose, stubborn as all other species. It has grown evil without restraint, and commits crimes with abandon. It survived twelve rebirths, used secret methods to escape reincarnation, and survived for seven thousand years. However, as smart as it is, it turns out to be the result of a small inspection. The great legacy is that knowing the punishments of reincarnation is the most secret of the law and the most impartial of the Tao. I will capture this person and throw him into the prison of plow tongue!"
After the verdict was written down, the Dharma minister took out a large seal and covered it underneath.
Then, Li Qi saw the iron city come to life.
A terrifying force suddenly erupted from the iron city and swept towards the demonic dragon!
Countless ghosts and unbearable yin energy gathered into the torrent, which was so cruel and sinister that it washed over the demon dragon and swallowed him up almost instantly!
But other Yin difference seemed to be like a fish in water in this countless difficult Yin Qi, their strength doubled, and the chains became thicker and thicker, suppressing the demon dragon so much that it could not lift its head.
In the end, amidst the howling of the demonic dragon, his soul and mind were torn out by those soul-enchanting chains, leaving only a body.
His mind and soul were hooked into the iron city, and the underworld agents used their own strength to pull him in.
The judge put away his pen, puffed his sleeves, turned around and prepared to leave.
But when he left, he stared at Li Qi.
Li Qi suddenly broke out in white sweat, his hair stood up, his bones trembled, and some unknown premonition enveloped him.
Wait, you don’t want to arrest yourself too, do you?
But the judge just glanced at it, then turned around and walked into the iron city.
Countless Yin soldiers and ghosts filed in, and the last two people pulled up the city gate. With a roar, the iron city and the black mist quickly shrank, and finally disappeared.
Li Qi was still sitting where he was, but the classroom had long been changed beyond recognition, and all the desks were gone, leaving only a dragon corpse dozens of feet long lying on the spot.
I helped resurrect this person, but it seemed like he couldn't withstand the evil deeds.
But it doesn't matter.
It's not his own fault that he didn't withstand it. He just wasn't strong enough. Without his help, he would never have a chance to be resurrected in the future.
He has been dismantled and turned into a desk. Are you still thinking of resurrecting him?
However, Li Qi stood up and looked at the open space outside.
A woman with a serious expression and rigid etiquette was standing outside, looking at Li Qi.
She looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, not very old, and looked much younger than Li Qi, but her eyes were full of oppression, as if she was staring at her and she didn't even dare to move.
Li Qi knew this person. This person was the 'ruler' of the Imperial Academy and the magic weapon for offering wine. She was responsible for regulating all behaviors in the Imperial Academy. If students went out of line, she would knock their heads.
Obviously, today's matter must be explained to Taixue.
Li Qi cleared his throat and walked towards the ruler.
"Sir." Li Qi stepped forward, saluted to the ruler, and called him sir.
"Staying late at night, I can say that you are studying diligently, but you caused such a big mess, how are you going to explain it?" Zie Chi's tone was serious as always.
"This is also part of learning, but...there were some accidents." Li Qi answered with cupped hands.
"Accident? What kind of accident can cause trouble? What are you studying?" Zie Chi asked, his tone unwavering.
"I am studying the 'boundary'. This object is my research material. This is an observation experiment." Li Qi replied immediately.
The ruler moved two steps and looked carefully at the scene and the dragon corpse: "You damaged the teaching aids, blew up the classroom, and even mobilized the defense talismans in the school. The power of evil has left a trail here that is difficult to clean. trace."
Li Qi said without changing his expression and his heart not beating: "It was just an...experimental accident. I remember that similar explosions happened every day in the engineering class and the teacher training classroom."
Yes, for alchemists, alchemists, and some engineering disciplines, explosions are commonplace, and Li Qi is still relatively small. After all, there are guard talismans, and the battle between Yin Zhan and the demon dragon is fully controlled. There is no It affected the outside world and only caused a few changes in the celestial phenomena.
Li Qi also read in the student handbook that some students had done bigger things.
The students at Taixue used the cave as their classroom, but those students were directly bombed by the cave as their classroom.
But... what Li Qi did was pretty much the same, and he didn't blow up one cave, but forty-nine. He also combined the forty-nine caves into one and blew them together, causing the The houses were blown up and the roofs were gone.
This matter is quite big. After all, Taixue has not had a house exploded for hundreds of years.
The cave is not valuable, but the houses are very valuable. The houses here are part of the Taixue's protective formation. If they are broken, it means that there is a flaw in the formation.
Although this formation will not be used once in ten thousand years, after all, Chang'an has a rank in charge, but who can guarantee that nothing will happen?
From this perspective, Li Qike made a big mistake.
"Yes, but their experiments were all reported in advance, and teachers were involved and protected throughout the process. Everything was within the rules. However, your experiment was not reported, there was no application for venues and materials, and there were no experienced teachers on hand to control risks. "Jie Chi said with an unhappy expression: "Classmate Li Qi, you are very brave."
"I'm sorry, I come from the countryside and I don't know the rules very well." Li Qi apologized immediately, and then said something that made Jie Chi's face turn green.
I am a barbarian.
To be honest, I'm not wrong. From the perspective of human nature, witchcraft are just standard barbarians. They don't know anything and don't care about construction.
But Ji Chi immediately put on a serious face: "No matter what you say, this is a violation. I need a review, a letter of repentance, and a summary report of the accident. It's best to write it down in detail."
"Students, please note." Li Qi bowed.
"Also, you have been suspended. The specific recovery time is to be determined. I will announce your punishment to the entire school as a warning to others. I will send the results of the punishment to your master at Wushen Mountain."
Li Qi nodded, telling the truth without fear.
Suing parents might be a huge terror to other people, but it would be nothing to Li Qi.
Zhu Fengdan's tolerance for trouble caused by him was ridiculously high. Li Qi estimated that he would not have any fluctuations if he blew up Taixue.
Jie Chi continued: "Also, remember to apologize to the teacher who taught you. You have betrayed his trust."
"That's natural." Li Qi replied.
The ruler seems to have finished speaking.
After seeing what the ruler had said, Li Qi finally asked: "Sir, what about compensation...?"
"No, Taixue wouldn't ask students for money because of this kind of thing, but... you have damaged so many facilities, have you learned anything?" Jie Chi's expression slowed down and he asked Li Qi.
"I learned it. It's very valuable knowledge. I've always needed it." Li Qi lowered his head and said.
"That's good." Zie Zhi nodded and then disappeared.
Li Qi raised his head and looked at the open space in front of him, a little surprised.
He thought... that he would be expelled or detained.
But the result was just an apology, self-criticism, and then suspension of classes...
Even before the ruler left, he seemed a little relieved, because the other party didn't have any expression, so Li Qi couldn't tell... but he felt that way.
It seemed that she was very happy that she had learned something.
That’s all, it doesn’t matter anymore.
Li Qi got up and went home.
He wanted to sort out what he had gained tonight, and then finish writing his review and apology. After all these preparations were completed, he would go to Liu Shenzhi and use the newly learned boundaries to settle the matter of the witchcraft silkworm.
By taking care of the matter of the witchcraft silkworm, I made a request to Liu Donghe, hoping that he could help the Lord of Lingxiao.
That's probably it.
When Li Qi left Taixue, he caused a big mess, but fortunately he didn't need to clean it up by himself, someone would help.
This is the advantage of being a child. An ignorant baby can overturn the dining table and tear toilet paper everywhere, and you don't have to clean it up yourself. Others have to comfort you to prevent you from crying.
Of course, this is only this period of time. After the seventh level, he will soon become an 'adult' who needs to be responsible for himself.

During this period, an uninvited guest came to Shangyuan.
Shangyuan is a very famous garden resort and a place where hundreds of flowers gather.
Because of their own characteristics, flower gods can always cause a lot of trouble, whether it is because of themselves or because of the jealousy of their suitors and fans.
In order to facilitate management and allow chaos to gather in one place, the Renhuang Palace regulated Shangyuan so that Baihua could come here.
Lord Lingxiao took a deep breath, stopped at the door, and murmured: "Shangyuan... I'm back."
