Chapter 463 Which came first, the chicken or the egg
"It doesn't matter, when our software is added to Google Map, users will choose us again." Lin Yu, who had been silent at this time, turned his laptop around Directions, which shows the new features that will be updated soon.
This is the same as many software in previous generations. You can see offline car dealerships to facilitate users to go to their destination.
However, the new features emerging at this point in time are definitely capable of surpassing many existing software.
You know, when people go out now, they will use GPS navigation if they have the conditions, but if they don't, they can only rely on paper maps.
The Google Map mobile application was released globally last year, but it was not very easy to use in the early stages. It could only display approximate locations and did not even have a navigation function.
In Tu'ao, many people are accustomed to using TomTom's GPS devices, but the function of the mobile phone application to view and display the approximate location is also very attractive.
“Buzz.”
The three chatted for a while, and Chen Xi suddenly received a text message.
The sender turned out to be the aunt at the door of the consulate. The text message said that their leader had arrived in Mo Village, and the aunt specially invited him to attend the lecture.
Mocun Convention and Exhibition Center.
This is the place where Jin Nana and Shen Xinyi performed last time. This leader actually booked the entire convention and exhibition center today. It is conceivable that there are many wealthy people among his followers.
There are many people coming in and out, and there are various publicity boards at the door with neon photos of the leader printed on them.
The funniest thing is the two ghost guys at the door, sitting cross-legged with pious expressions on their faces, as if they are praying for something.
Chen Xi was surprised to find that there were some people wearing special clothes among the people entering the venue. At first glance, they were monks and Taoist priests.
"Oh, young man, you are here. This time the leader is here to open your eyes. If you are successfully accepted by the leader as a closed disciple, then you must take good care of me in the future. I thought you have good qualifications before..."
"I asked you why you wanted to recruit me to Christianity. It turned out that you had this little plan in mind..."
Chen Xi glared at the aunt and followed her into the venue.
In the backcourt dressing room at this time, a man in his fifties was trying on a suit.
He doesn’t look like a Chinese, but more like a Sakura.
Long hair, smiling face, and looking easy to get along with.
"Master, all Buddhist and Taoist people in Australia are here, as well as many people from other countries..."
"Yes, I understand."
Suddenly , a subordinate came over to report, Neon nodded, his face indifferent.
Immediately afterwards, he asked all his men to go out, then opened his clothes, checked his body, and then strode out of the dressing room with satisfaction.
"Sister, what's the matter with so many monks and Taoist priests here?"
"The leader is so powerful that if he comes to give lectures, these people naturally come to learn."
Sitting in his seat, Chen Xi couldn't bear it After asking, the aunt raised her head proudly. This action was exactly the same as Li Yuqing's.
Chen Xi looked at the front row of the venue again and suddenly saw Xu Jingtao and Li Guangfu who had just separated. There were several elderly monks and Taoist priests beside them.
“Dear guests, hello everyone! Here are my followers, masters from Buddhism and Taoism, as well as some Westerners and journalists. Today, we are gathered together to discuss and exchange information about Topics of culture, faith and wisdom." Nehong stood in front of the podium and started teaching.
The eyes of the believers below were filled with intense light, while the others had disdain on their faces.
“As we all know, Buddhist exercises are often closely connected with the inner cultivation of practitioners. In Buddhism, practitioners go deep into their hearts and seek liberation and wisdom through meditation. Meditation is the basis of Buddhist practice. By adjusting the call By inhaling and relaxing the body and mind, practitioners can gradually enter a state of transcendence and gain insight into the truth of the world. In addition to meditation, Buddhism also has many methods, such as chanting the Buddha's Samadhi, observing the mind, etc., all of which are designed to help practitioners purify their minds and achieve The state of nirvana. Taoist exercises emphasize the harmony and unity with nature. Practitioners aim to enhance personal life energy and achieve longevity through the practice of inner alchemy, qi-conquering, and guidance. Among the Taoist exercises, inner alchemy is the most core. One kind, which requires practitioners to pass Through the steps of refining Qi, refining Qi to transform into spirit, and refining spirit to return to void, the true essence is gradually condensed to achieve the state of unity between man and nature. In addition, Taoism also pays attention to the cultivation of body shape, and exercises the body through guidance, martial arts, etc. The body and mind are at their best," Neon continued.
"Why is it the same as in fantasy novels?" Chen Xi couldn't help complaining as he sat there.
"Our leader knows astronomy from above and geography from below, and has done in-depth research on the exercises of other religions." The aunt picked her nose, and then looked at the people on the stage with admiration.
“Then is he practicing Buddhism or Taoism?”
"Keep listening and don't keep talking."
"..." The aunt interrupted Chen Xi's question. She felt that this was disrespectful to the leader.
“My Guru Gong is a new type of practice that combines Buddhist meditation and Taoist inner alchemy. This practice is designed to help practitioners improve their mental and physical health at the same time. Realm, to achieve the effect of both internal and external cultivation
Practitioners first meditate through meditation. , go deep into the heart and purify the soul. During this process, the practitioner needs to adjust his breathing, relax his body and mind, and gradually enter a state of transcendence. Then, the practitioner begins to practice the inner elixir, refining the energy and transforming the spirit into the spirit. , gradually condense the true essence and enhance the life energy
In the process of practice, Guru Gong also pays attention to the coordination and unity of body and mind. Practitioners need to exercise their bodies through Daoyin, martial arts, etc. to achieve the best physical and mental state. At the same time, practitioners also need to maintain a peaceful mind in daily life, follow the laws of nature, and live in harmony with the surrounding environment.
The practice of Guru Gong requires practitioners to have firm faith and perseverance. Through long-term practice, practitioners can gradually understand the true meaning of life and achieve physical and mental liberation and freedom. "Neon's words made Xu Jingtao, Li Guangfu and others look very ugly.
When Guru Gong first came out, it was under the banner of Buddhist exercises, and even the names of several exercises in it were related to Buddha. , now suddenly merged with Taoism, It is a school of its own.
“Many newcomers here are listening to my lectures for the first time. Let me first tell you why this exercise is called Gulu Gong. That’s because when you practice the exercise, your body will There is an abnormal noise and a gurgling sound. According to the current differentiation, it is a kind of qigong! "
"Haha, isn't that Toad Kung Fu? Has your leader watched too much Legend of the Condor Heroes? He couldn't be Ouyang Feng's disciple. ”
"What do you know? This is a foreign country. Of course we have to give it an easy-to-remember name. Gui Lao can't remember those complicated names and it's hard to translate them."
As soon as Neon finished speaking, everyone in the audience Chen Xi couldn't help but laugh, and the aunt next to him gave him a fierce look.
“Our skills have been cultivated to the highest level, and we can summarize the universe and break through the void... In my previous life, I was the Lord of the universe. I created everything in the world, even my parents were created by me. . In this life, when I was only a few years old, I realized the superior Dharma, and I can do things that ordinary people cannot do..."
"It's just fart!"
"You also believe this? Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?”
The people in the audience were all highly educated. Naturally, they couldn't sit still when they heard such boastful words.
"Then you said that you created everything, including your parents, but your parents gave birth to you. Isn't this contradictory?" A man stood up and asked loudly.
"That's a good question from this man, so let me ask you, which came first, the chicken or the egg?" Neon was not angry, but looked at the other party with a smile.
This is a classic philosophical and scientific question involving the complex issues of biological origin and evolution.
From a scientific perspective, this question is often interpreted as a discussion about the origin and evolution of birds.
In the theory of biological evolution, species do not appear suddenly, but gradually evolve after a long period of gradual changes and natural selection.
Therefore, we can assume that during the evolution of birds, an ancestral species gradually evolved characteristics similar to chickens, including egg laying and hatching and other reproductive methods.
Under this assumption, we can say that eggs already existed in the ancestral species of chickens, and the offspring hatched from these eggs may have characteristics closer to modern chickens. However, this does not mean that these eggs are "chicken eggs" as they may be from different species.
On the other hand, from a philosophical perspective, this question may involve a discussion about causality. If we think that the egg is the product of the chicken, then we can say that the chicken came first; but if we think that the chicken hatched from the egg, then we can say that the egg came first.
However, this discussion can easily fall into logical loops and paradoxes.
"I...I don't know." The man who questioned Neon suddenly had his brain shut down. Who can answer such a question?
"I know, the chicken comes first and then the egg!" Another man stood up and shouted.
“Oh? Why?”
“In the process of biological evolution, the genetic information of a species is passed on to future generations through genes. If we imagine an ancestral creature that gradually evolved into a chicken , then during this evolutionary process, at a certain moment, this creature possessed certain characteristics of a chicken , including its unique method of reproduction - laying eggs. Therefore, we can infer that when this creature first lays an egg with the genetic information of a chicken, that egg can be called an "egg", thus proving. "First the chicken, then the egg." After the man finished speaking, he looked around with some pride, and everyone felt that it made sense.
“Eggs are substances containing genetic information produced by many animals in order to reproduce offspring. In the history of biological evolution, many species have experienced the process of laying eggs. If we broaden our horizons, it is not just limited to Looking at the evolution of chickens, we will find that eggs existed long before the emergence of chickens. Before the ancestors of chickens evolved into chickens, one of these eggs had evolved over a long period of time. , and finally hatched what we call a "chicken"
"But you have not considered the continuity of genetic information. In biological evolution, the transmission of genetic information is achieved through genes, and these genes are contained in the organism. If an organism has not evolved into a chicken, then it will produce The genetic information in the eggs cannot be entirely that of the chicken. This creature has evolved into a chicken so that it can lay real "eggs".
"Biological evolution is a long process and cannot be completed overnight. In the process of evolution, biological evolution is a long process. It will undergo many genetic mutations and genetic recombinations, and these changes are gradually accumulated . Therefore, we cannot simply think that an organism can lay "eggs" only after it has completely evolved into a chicken. On the contrary, we should see that in the process of evolution, the genetic information of eggs is gradually approaching that of chickens. information until finally hatching what we call a "chicken"
"You are trying to confuse us. Didn't you say that you can do things that ordinary people can't do? What kind of qigong do you also practice? Show us a show! Don't just talk. . ”
The man was stunned by the neon lights, so he quickly changed his approach to deal with the enemy.
