I Want to Hang Around in the Moon

Hearing him speak so sincerely, Le Zhengling was confused, which made his previous guess another layer of fog.

Guanbuzi's mother's speculation, the guardian's words, grandfather's letter, and his abnormality, all seem to be buried in a thick fog that cannot be seen.

"Mind if I ask some questions? Just pay for this dinner." Le Zhengling wanted to know everything, even if he was going to die, he had to die clearly.

"As a former monk, I am obliged to let you go with peace of mind, so please ask." Araya Zonglian clasped her hands together and said with a serious expression.

If you don't look at his bitter face, but just look at his temperament, he looks like an eminent monk.

"Is what I wrote true?" At the moment Lezheng heard this question, there was a thunder from the sky, which seemed to indicate that something had started.

Chapter 29 The Paradox of Theseus

Araya Zonglian was silent, he didn't expect Le Zhengling to ask this question first,

——No, to be more precise, I never expected him to ask this question.

Araya Zonglian didn't believe that Le Zhengling didn't know whether these things were true, but since he asked this way, it meant that he really had doubts, which made him confused.

"In my opinion, these things are all true. This is what my intuition as a magician told me, and after seeing these things, my [Tao] is a big step closer to the [root]." After careful consideration, Huang Ye Zonglian finally spoke, but she also concealed one thing, that is, there was something strange in the description about him.

These are all true words. After seeing the tree diagram, his [Tao] inexplicably took a big step forward. If this time is converted according to normal practice and research, it will take another 200 years to reach the current level.

However, these 200 years were completely omitted just because of seeing the manuscript written down by Le Zhengling.

But Araya Zonglian didn't feel the slightest joy, because in his evaluation recorded by Le Zhengling, there was such an item: a person who can never reach the root.

The reason is ridiculous, because of his own contradictions.

He regards restraint as his great enemy, but he never thought that restraint would not allow him to reach the root.

Reaching the root and becoming a magician are two different things. Becoming a magician means that they come back from the root after reaching the root, but he has no intention of coming back, all he wants is an answer.

Since even the existence of magicians is allowed, it should be much easier for him to get that answer. Although the restraining force will stop him, he believes that he will get that answer one day.

However, all this is denied in the record about him.

The simple entry titled Soren Araya, and the record and brief description of the timetable called "The Realm of the Sky", revealed his own biggest contradiction.

——If you want to find the answer in the root, you must first know the answer.

Very ironic.

And his ending was determined at the moment of his awakening origin.

If he awakens the origin, then he will eventually become a [concept] and return to his origin.

Unprepared, he got the final answer, and this answer was worse than not getting it. Even his strong heart and obsession that lasted for two centuries were instantly sunk.

Thinking of this, he suddenly regained the emotion called disheartened.

"In that case, then the second question." Le Zhengling didn't know the complicated thoughts of the person opposite him. For him, it was more important to clarify some things.

"When you met me for the first time, you asked me [what are you], am I not a human being? Or what did you refer to?" Le Zheng listened to this question that had been hidden in his heart.

"It's the former, and it's also the latter." Soren Araya looked at his eyes as red as blood.

"Although I don't know if you are clear, but the most important part of your body does not belong to human beings." He pointed to Le Zhengling's heart and said.

Knowing what Araya Zonglian was referring to, Le Zhengling frowned and pressed on his heart, then he said seriously: "I know there is a problem with my heart, and someone told me what the problem is, it's just congenital Heart valve insufficiency. How is it not a human thing?"

"He didn't lie to you, but he didn't tell the whole story." Soren Arana slowly withdrew her hand, "A heart like this cannot make a person live to your age and still be so healthy. Your heart was exchanged by special means. went up."

"In other words, isn't this my original heart?" Le Zhengling frowned even tighter.

"You can't say that, after all, this heart was transplanted to you when you were born, and you have already used it..."

"I'm 13 years old."

"Have used it for 13 years, do you think it counts as your original heart?"

Le Zhengling is also thinking about this question, but this kind of question is too idealistic, "But just a heart, can't say that I am not human?"

Araya Soren dipped one finger in water, and drew two concentric circles, one large and one small, on the table.

"From a scientific point of view, your cognition is not wrong, but from a magical point of view, you are definitely a non-human, a non-human who is as fragile as a human being."

"This big circle represents you, and this small circle represents your current heart."

Then he extended many straight lines from the small circle to the big circle, "Do you think the blood flowing out of this non-human heart is normal human blood? And you who grew up with these non-human blood, are you a human being?" "

Seeing the picture drawn by Ara Ye Zonglian and the question he asked, Le Zhengling felt a chill rushing to his forehead.

"Theseus paradox?" Le Zhengling asked blankly.

The so-called Theseus Paradox, or The Ship of Theseus, is one of the oldest thought experiments.

The earliest record comes from Plutarch.

It describes a ship that can survive at sea for hundreds of years, thanks to constant repairs and replacement parts.

As long as a board rots, it will be replaced, and so on, until all the functional parts are not the first ones.

The question is, is the resulting ship still the original ship of Theseus, or a completely different ship?
