Chapter 763 The Tao is not Tao
On the other side, Li Qi was full of wine and food, and attended several banquets. He interacted with many local young masters in Wushen Mountain and got to know each other.
The banquet was not just about eating and drinking. For these practitioners, many questions about the Tao were raised for discussion, which was very interesting.
Most of these questions did not touch the essence of the Tao, but they were all quite interesting.
For example, for a circle with infinite radius, is its side a straight line?
Theoretically, the larger the radius of a circle, the smaller the curvature, so when the radius of a circle is infinite, the curvature also reaches infinitesimal.
At the same time, the infinite radius means that the circumference is also infinite, which is the same as the property of a straight line, because a straight line is also infinitely long.
However, some people have raised objections, because if the direction of infinite division is used to explain the replacement of the curve with a straight line, this is only true for first-order infinitesimals, because there is a higher-order infinitesimal after the differential, and the curvature that is infinitely close to zero does not mean true zero.
Others explain it from another perspective, such as a circle is a set of points with a fixed distance to a fixed point, including this fixed point (center of the circle) and the set of points of the entire arc, so it is impossible to be a straight line anyway.
Anyway, they are all small games, and everyone can understand different aspects of the statement, and can also understand the essential meaning of these games.
The Tao that can be said is not the real Tao; the name that can be named is not the real name.
These so-called conflicts are actually the limit of the practitioner's expression, but they are also the manifestation of the flexibility of the practitioner's high-energy wisdom and cognitive activities.
The practitioner knows that there is such a thing that he cannot express accurately. If he insists on defining it accurately, it will only hinder the development of cognition. This compromise seems to reflect the practitioner's imprecise thinking, but in fact it helps the practitioner to establish cognition of this indescribable thing.
For example, find a circle at random, and after measurement, its pi is 3.14.
But this is only the 3.14 defined by practitioners. In fact, the circumference is an irrational number that cannot be measured. However, in reality, it is impossible to use and recognize an infinite non-repeating decimal, so we can only be forced to choose a closer "3.14" from countable infinity to define and calculate pi. When the calculation accuracy needs to be improved, the number of digits can be increased.
Irrational numbers cannot be expressed or truly understood. This is a typical explanation of "the way can be said, but it is not the real way". You cannot really express an actual thing.
Therefore, when you want to explain this irrational number to others, you can only choose a rational number to represent it.
We often say "point, line, surface", but the real "point" is between existence and non-existence, cannot be recognized, and even has no spatial dimension.
As Li Qi has long recognized-
Irrational numbers cannot be realized under this division, because being able to be divided means that this number is always a rational number, but the number of decimal places is unknown. And irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be found in various realities. As long as you stop, it must be a rational number.
The Tao can be spoken, but it is not the real Tao; the name can be named, but it is not the real name.
Perhaps it is a coincidence. Although they are different things and different topics, Shen Shuibi and Li Qi both got almost the same conclusion from them, and pointed to the same teaching of the great power at the same time.
The Tao cannot be spoken.
Just like the irrational numbers that occupy almost 100% of the number axis.
Among the numbers, the total ratio of rational numbers is close to 0, and irrational numbers occupy almost all the remaining positions, but people can only recognize rational numbers, and cannot recognize the remaining irrational numbers.
Most real numbers are inexpressible. Just like the comparison between irrational numbers and rational numbers, almost all real numbers are inexpressible. This is because finite combinations are always countable, while infinite length combinations are uncountable.
Things that cannot be expressed, but occupy the vast majority of existence.
Like dark matter, it is invisible and intangible, but it really affects the formation of celestial bodies in the universe and even the manifestation of the cosmic pattern.
Li Qi was very happy about what happened in the past few days. He also learned some daily lives of the great powers and got another meaning of longevity.
For example, on a cosmic scale, the speed of light is extremely slow, but that is actually only because under normal circumstances, organisms live in a low-speed state. For light itself, it only takes a moment to go to any place in the universe. The universe is like your own yard to light, and you can go wherever you want.
But this is not the case for organisms in a low-speed state. While light is traveling slowly, these organisms have been destroyed one after another and then reborn.
Only by living forever can we keep up with such progress and observe those truly magnificent miracles, such as baryon acoustic oscillations.
The so-called "echo of creation", in Li Qi's view, is similar to baryon acoustic oscillations.
In the absence of gravity, world groups and even larger structures such as the "Great Wall of Galaxy" will appear, just because of baryon acoustic oscillations. These structures are gradually "grown" along the fixed "auxiliary line structure" provided by the "sound horizon".
They are not formed by gravity at all. These galaxies and world groups are just matter that spreads along the "echo of creation".
Of course, this is just Li Qi’s guess, because the substance "qi" is completely different from atoms and molecules. Qi has more mysterious properties.
However, under certain circumstances, gas, atoms and molecules are connected. For example, in the formation of 'matter', both are gathered from some kind of 'wave', something insubstantial, and suddenly It suddenly became a physical substance.
Li Qi recalled this feeling and wondered if he had been too aloof before...
It is also good to participate in these group activities occasionally. You can get to know people, get familiar with various businesses, and get inspiration in spiritual practice. After all, everyone is a genius, and the topics you can talk about are always beneficial to everyone.
Moreover, the best thing is that this is an internal communication between witchcraft and Taoism. No matter what, there will be no Taoist disputes. Everyone talks happily. If you go to a debate meeting of different Taoism, several people will definitely die and lie there. On fire.
Li Qi went home satisfied.
However, at this moment, he felt a sense of time and space being torn apart.
The law of cause and effect is broken, and time itself begins to go awry.
This kind of vision spread throughout the universe, and even Li Qi's body began to collapse.
However, it soon recovered, and with the repair of the universe itself, the timeline was smoothed out again.
Li Qi looked up at the sky.
In the war between humans and witches, another second-grade fell, and apparently he also fell on the road of 'Sun and Moon Walking Road'.
In other words... the person who died was a second-level wizard.
But inside the Wushen Mountain, many caves opened one after another, and many spells poured out from them.
However, I saw a shaman standing up and playing various musical instruments. The sound of mourning moved the visitors' thoughts. I saw many other shamans weeping away.
Looking at the spells flying into the sky, they began to explode, showing various patterns, all of which expressed grief.
When Li Qi saw this, he also gathered together and waved towards the sky, but saw white clouds all over the sky, like a white cloth covering the blue sky, like a funeral.
After doing this, Li Qi looked at the other people's spells. When everything disappeared, the playing went back and the spells dissipated, Wushen Mountain returned to silence again.
"Alas, the great road is difficult to achieve." Li Qi sighed with emotion, and then set off again.
All the way to Tianwai, and in just a few seconds, they had returned to Xuanjing Mountain.
When he returned to Xuanjing Mountain, Shen Shuibi hadn't come yet.
And not only did they not come, even the topography of Xuanjing Mountain had changed.
Li Qi immediately found Bezoar, who was combing the water veins at the moment. When he saw Li Qi coming, he quickly bowed his head and saluted: "I've seen Zhu Ren!"
"Forget it, have you seen Yu'er? Also, didn't the terrain of Xuanjing Mountain just change once? Why did it change again?" Li Qi asked.
"Well, this is what Madam did." Niuhuang explained: "Earlier Madam came out, played a piece of music, and her magical power unfolded. All the earth and water veins that had just been sorted out in Xuanjing Mountain rose up in response, and burst out naturally, and it became what it is now. After that...after that, the lady left and I don’t know where she went.”
"Playing?" Li Qi heard this and immediately covered the entire Xuanjing Mountain with the rhyme of Zhenzhizhi.
Then, on Xuanjing Mountain, he felt the sound from the beginning of time in the universe.
Baryon acoustic oscillation, or...the remnant of creation.
"She has some understanding... Then leaving should be the result of her enlightenment." Li Qi muttered to himself, then looked at Bezoar: "Just take a rest and leave the sorting out of the landscape to me, anyway. Something caused by Yu'er."
Niuhuang suddenly panicked and said hurriedly: "How can this be so? It is my duty as a mountain god to sort out the mountains and rivers. I cannot leave it to others. Please go find your wife and leave it to me here."
"What does it matter? It's Yu'er who has caused you trouble, so let's sort it out together. I'll go over there first." Li Qi smiled and didn't argue. He just went to the other side of the mountain and started combing the landscape. Make the mountain have good weather.
Normally, the water veins of mountains cannot be completely harmonious by nature, and things like this will always happen, so there will be flash floods, earthquakes, subsidence, dryness and waterlessness.
If a mountain god is responsible, he will slowly adjust these things that are not right, just like a person's blood vessels are not smooth, and the muscles and bones are uncomfortable, and then adjust them to the appropriate place, so that the mountain will become healthy, full of vitality, and great source. It will also be more prosperous.
Therefore, most of the people on the Wushen Mountain side will spend their energy doing this.
Li Qi was naturally familiar with these things.
However, when he started to adjust it, he found... something seemed a little wrong.
There is no need to adjust the terrain of these mountains and rivers that have been changed by the sound of Shen Shui Bi's flute. Although they look strange, these mountains and water veins actually have a vague feeling of being in line with nature.
interesting.
The lingering sound of creation was not something Li Qi paid attention to, but... it seemed to be of greater significance to Shen Shuibi.
With this in mind, he moved again and quickly came to Bezoar, saying, "Bezoar, there is no need to comb it out. Let's restore everything to the way it was when Yu'er transformed the mountains."
"Zhu Ren, why? If this happens, I'm afraid the mountains and rivers will become unstable and all the creatures in the mountains will suffer." Niuhuang was puzzled.
Obviously, Bezoar did not see the beauty of all this, and he did not fully understand the lingering sound of creation.
"Such a landscape is perfect enough. It may even be an opportunity for you to become a great master. It will be of great benefit to you if you understand it carefully." Li Qi said.
When Niuhuang heard this, he immediately lowered his head and said, "I respect my wishes."
He was secretly shocked, could it be that his eyesight was really bad? Almost missed the opportunity?
Niuhuang kept this matter in his mind and prepared to study it carefully, but Li Qize had already left.
Since Shen Shuibi took the initiative to go out to look for opportunities, I think she must have a purpose. Don't worry too much. Anyway, if something bad happens, you should be able to sense it——
Thinking this, Li Qi began to wait at home.
Time passed slowly. Li Qi poured himself a glass of water and watched the bezoar begin to enlighten and learn. The creatures in the mountains lived naturally and lived their own lives.
There is brilliance between the rocks, and the colors reflect the sloping mountains.
There are trees on the high mountains, and the wind blows their leaves away.
Kites fly across the sky, and flocks of birds wave in both directions.
Fish play among the lotus leaves, and the sun shines on the river.
Xuanjing Mountain is not big, but if you say it is small, it actually has a radius of several hundred miles, enough for a big river to flow through, enough for several small villages to survive at the foot of the mountain, and some have even developed into small cities.
I think back when Li Qigang came, there was only one village. After thousands of years, there was still development.
However, these small villages, said to be villages, are actually quite powerful. There are many practitioners and they cover a large area. The strongest ones are at the seventh level. They are a god of incense and fire, that is, of the 'human ghost' lineage. gods.
There was none before, but Bezoar was cultivated well, so a seventh-grade incense god was finally born. Now the other party also respects Bezoar and build Xuanjing Mountain together.
As for Li Qi...
Although Xuanjing Mountain is said to be his cave, in fact Li Qi has not taken care of it at all. He just lives here and has not had many entanglements with Xuanjing Mountain at all.
These people below only know that there are gods on the mountain, but even if they live under Xuanjing Mountain, it is basically impossible for them to see Li Qi, and it is impossible to enter Li Qi's cave, and Li Qi has never seen it. They glance.
Today's gaze was the first time Li Qi had looked at these people in the past thousand years.
The moment Li Qi thought this, his eyelids suddenly began to beat uncontrollably.
An ominous premonition began to hang over me.
Some great terror strikes, as if something bad is about to happen.
He immediately used Zhanzhan Qi Technique and began to deduce.
The next moment, I saw blood-colored clouds gathering on the horizon, as if a disaster was coming.
The direction in which the clouds gather is...
Baiyue, the great deer country!
