Chapter 17 Science? Theology? [Two in One](1/2)
"Miss Shu, we are here, Master Zu lives there!"
Pointing at the smooth cliff in front of him, Yu Dachu spoke with excitement on his face.
"You master, just live here? This...how do you get up?"
Looking at the cliff ten meters tall in front of him, Shu Ning couldn't help but grow up with an incredible face.
"Of course I climbed up, otherwise how else could I get up."
He glanced at Shu Ning and Mao Hai winked at Yu Dachu.
Yu Dachu immediately crossed his hands, Mao Hai jumped up, leveraged the force between Yu Dachu's hands, and jumped up four or five meters.
Although he was short and fat, he was as sensitive as a monkey on the smooth cliff wall. He took advantage of the force and jumped onto the platform where Li Yang's cave was located.
"Junior brother, then..."
After going up, Mao Hai threw down the rope that had been prepared long ago and signaled to Yu Dachu.
"Miss Shu, you go up first, I'll answer below."
"This... can this be up with just one rope?"
It was not until this time that Shulin came to his senses. Although she had Mao Hai's demonstration, she was just an ordinary person and a woman. She really didn't have the confidence to climb a rock wall nearly ten meters high with a rope.
"Miss Shu doesn't have to worry. This is actually very easy. You just need to hold it firmly with both hands, and your senior brother will naturally pull you up."
"Maybe it's really easy for you..."
Hearing this, Shu Ning also smiled bitterly.
At this moment, she couldn't help but think that she had really underestimated Mao Xiaofang. Just looking at the skills of his two disciples, she knew that Master Mao should have some skills, and may not be as good as Master Lei Gang, but at least she should not be a person with a false reputation.
At the same time, she couldn't help but become even more curious about Li Yang who lived on the cliff.
Although she never believed what Yu Dachu called an immortal, since she was the elder of Master Lei Gang and others, she thought she was at least 60 or 70 years old. She could still live in such a place at such an age, and her ability would not be weak. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel more confident in this interview.
"Senior brother...you go and call the door."
After all the three of them boarded the platform, looking at the closed stone gate of Li Yang's cave, Yu Dachu signaled to Mao Hai.
"I won't go. If I want to go, I can accompany you. That's a risk of being punished by my master..."
"Or...I'll call the door!"
Just as the two were ruling each other, Shu Ning, who was looking at the scenery on the platform, came back to her senses and volunteered.
"No need, Miss Shu, you are a guest, how can you let you go? I'll do it."
"Master and disciple Yu Dachu, come to pay a visit!"
He glared at Mao Hai fiercely, secretly blaming him for being unkind, Yu Dachu could only step forward with a tough bullet and knock on the stone ring on the stone door.
In fact, when Yu Dachu and the other three came here, Li Yang had already noticed it.
But he didn't want to see these three people very much. He just needed to wait quietly, waiting for time to pass, waiting for the plot to start. As for what Mao Xiaofang experienced, he didn't want to intervene or change the plot. He had done everything he could do now. As for the final result, it could only depend on God's will.
"What a licking dog. If you lick it to the end, you will be destined to have nothing!"
Looking at Yu Dachu's performance outside the door, Li Yang shook his head helplessly. No matter what, he was his disciple. If he really didn't see him, he would seem a bit too unkind.
Forget it, just treat it as bored and find someone to chat.
Thinking of this, Li Yang opened his eyes and quickly withdrew from the bloodline witch world.
"Boom..."
Accompanied by the roar of the stone gate opening, Li Yang walked out of the cave with a black and white robe and glared at Yu Dachu with a fierce look.
"Master, forgive me, and the disciple knows that Mu Ran came to disturb you, and it is wrong for me to come and disturb you, but Master, you are a long and Tianqi, and I believe you will not be as knowledgeable as ordinary people like the disciple."
"You also bring your junior brother to make trouble..."
Ignoring Yu Dachu's flattery, Li Yang glanced at Mao Hai, who had always been honest, with a little displeasure.
"The master forgives the crime, but the disciple knows that he is wrong."
Compared to Yu Dachu who was quibbling, Mao Hai was much more honest. He knelt on the ground and admitted his mistakes with a sincere attitude.
Regarding Mao Hai's performance, Li Yang couldn't help but give an evaluation of "big wisdom is like foolishness".
"You...you are Achu's ancestor..."
Since Li Yang appeared, Shu Ning was stunned. She had never expected that Yu Dachu's so-called master would be so young. This made her first reaction to her that she felt she had been deceived.
However, when she reacted, she noticed Li Yang's extraordinaryness. Not to mention anything else, Li Yang in front of her was indeed a bit unusual in her opinion. As for what was unusual, she couldn't say for a while.
In short, it is an instinct, an instinct that cannot be ignored. And the more she looks, the more she discovers many suspicious points in Li Yang, whether it is movements, eyes, or the special aura that makes people feel like a spring breeze all over her body, or her sixth sense as a woman, everything is reminding her that the person in front of her is very unusual.
"You... are you really an immortal?"
After seeing Li Yang's face clearly, Shu Ning couldn't help but her pupils contracted violently. Only then did she realize that Li Yang's skin was completely different from that of a normal person. It was like a piece of jade carved. Not only did it have any flaws, but it also emitted a bright jade light. The most peculiar one was the calm pupils that looked like a clear spring. They seemed clear, but in fact they were bottomless, as if they contained this kind of mystery of the universe, which made people couldn't help but want to explore.
"The visitor is a guest, please sit down with Miss Shu!"
"You two are incompetent, get up too, don't kneel on the ground and get annoyed..."
After signaling Shu Ning to sit down, Li Yang glanced at Yu Dachu and Mao Hai again and said unhappy.
"Drink tea..."
Take out the tea set from the blood witch world, Li Yang poured himself a cup first and then Shu Ning another one. As for Mao Hai and Yu Dachu, he ignored it directly.
"This...is this magic?"
Seeing Li Yang's method of making tea sets out of thin air, Shu Ning couldn't help but cover her mouth, her face full of confusion.
When he was studying in Europe, he had seen magic, but this was the first time she saw it as natural as Li Yang, without any magic.
"Miss Shu, don't worry. If you think that all unknown things can be classified as magic, then it's just magic."
Li Yang smiled slightly and did not explain. He knew that it would be thankless to explain space to outsiders. Even if he was willing to say it, Shu Ning would definitely not understand it. Not only Shu Ning, but all the existence of unobservable laws, you give him space, and that is all about playing the piano against a cow.
"Sir, can I give you an exclusive interview..."
"I will introduce myself first. My name is Shuning. I am the editor-in-chief and boss of Guangming Daily, Gantian Town... My ambition is to hope that the Chinese people can be self-reliant and stay away from superstition and ignorance..."
At this time, Shu Ning also realized that she was indeed too anxious, so she would ask questions again, which was too impolite.
"My surname is Li, Miss Shu doesn't need to be so formal, just treat it as a friend and chat."
"In Miss Shu's opinion, are all unknown things, or ghosts, monsters, monsters, spells, etc., considered superstition?"
Li Yang picked up the teacup, took a sip, squinted his eyes and asked softly.
"I did think so before, but since I personally experienced Master Lei Gang's ghost hunting, I realized that there was really a ghost Taoist technique."
"Science emphasizes certification, and only certification can determine whether these unknown things exist. Only now do I know that there is actually theology outside of science."
Seeing that Li Yang's tone was calm and seemed to be not difficult to get along with, Shu Ning gradually let go of the uneasiness and restraint in her heart and replied seriously.
"Theology? Haha... Does Miss Shu think that Taoist ghosts are theology?"
Hearing this, Li Yang couldn't help but shake his head and chuckled.
“Shouldn’t ghosts and Taoism be classified as theology?
Seeing Li Yang's expression, Shu Ning's face was a little confused.
"I think that whether it is science or theology, they are actually just two concepts. The reason why you think theology is unknown is because science has developed to the present level and cannot solve these puzzles. In other words, unknown science belongs to theology. In my opinion, there is no essential difference between them."
"In ancient times, people believed that thunder and lightning were unknown, that it was the power of heaven, and that it was the gods who brought lightning."
"But since science explained what positive and negative ions are and what cumulonimbus clouds are, it has classified this phenomenon into science, which is actually a concept in itself."
"According to Mr. Li's statement, the so-called Taoist arts and ghosts can also be explained by science?"
After all, she has received higher education and Shu Ning’s understanding ability is not bad. Li Yang just pointed out some key points and she can understand it immediately.
"That's true. Whether it is ghosts, Taoism, or even gods or immortals, they can actually be explained by science, and they are all in this concept."
"Even all things in the universe have their own laws of operation. The reason why science cannot explain it now is just because science and practice are two paths."
"Although they are two completely different paths, their purpose is the same, that is, to achieve self-evolution, only practice depends entirely on the creature itself, external forces are just borrowed, while science is entirely on the help of external forces. There is only a difference between difficulties and ease, but no essence."
Li Yang lit up, looked at Shu Ning with an incredible look on his face, and there was an unquestionable firmness in his voice.
"Can Mr. Li explain what a god is and what an immortal is? The difference between science and theology."
After being silent for a long time, Shu Ning finally digested these absurd remarks that seemed to her, took out her notes and wrote them quickly.
"Ms. Shu has studied in Europe, and should have read the so-called evolutionary theory and evolutionary history of organisms, right?"
"I have indeed read this, it is the work of Darwin, a famous scientist in the Empire of Sun Never Setting."
When Shu Ning heard Li Yang's words, he looked thoughtful.
At the same time, I felt that Li Yang became more and more mysterious, his age was unknown, and as a practitioner living in seclusion in the mountains and practicing, he actually knew about the work of evolution.
In this era, even ordinary Chinese students may not have heard of this book.
"This makes it much easier for me to explain. In fact, the evolution of organisms evolved over time. In order to adapt to better survival and better adapt to the defined environment, any species today evolved into shape, including their original form."
"This shows a problem, that is, biological cells have infinite possibilities, and the so-called practice is a set of evolutionary routes that believe in interference, or even self-set, that makes humans become an all-powerful and perfect ultimate life form."
