Chapter 376 Pure Logic

What exactly is the boundary?

Li Qi couldn’t answer it before. He only knew that after crossing a certain boundary, individuals became groups and sand became a pile of sand.

But how many grains of sand count as a pile of sand? When the dead are resurrected, to what extent do they have to live to be considered truly alive?

Li Qi could only be vague about this before.

But now, he can answer this question.

Because, through a large-scale experiment, he saw the answer written in front of him with his own eyes.

The answer is not a definite value, but... a train of thought, a rule, or a formula.

According to this rule, the clear position of the boundary can be obtained.

Li Qi used to be a researcher, so he is good at logic and mathematics. He started from this aspect and began to summarize.

Not only set a criterion, but define a set, set something like 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 a part of this graph.

This is like...

visualizing a graph.

Based on this, the logic of describing the tool can be expanded to obtain a tool, through which the position of all boundaries can be further calculated. For example, for a given domain, there will be a mapping from the domain to a specific value. This mapping can represent a fuzzy set, which is used to represent the membership function of the fuzzy set. The value of each element on this domain mapped to a specific value by the mapping rule is naturally the membership of the element to the fuzzy set.

According to the abstract nature of things, for objective fuzzy phenomena, in the case of difficult to express intuitively, this is the method of dividing boundaries.

This is absolutely invisible to the naked eye and cannot be concluded.

This conclusion only exists in thoughts and information, and can only be seen by relying on the information flow felt by the mind, so as to deduce and draw conclusions.

If you rely on the physical body, you can only see light effects, runes, and at most some special rhythms and fluctuations perceived by the soul.

Only the real information flow vision can see and summarize these. This is a thing composed of pure logic and information, which is more mysterious than any rhythm.

All fluctuations and light effects are material, but this is not.

The difference is like a piece of rice paper with the word "one" written on it, compared to the "one" itself.

What is one?

What is "one"?

A person? A stone? A table? Are these "one"?

No, none of them, they are all real things.

Fools will subconsciously ignore this question, 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 there is "one" everywhere, you cannot find "one" itself.

The world is full of things like a world and a glass of water, but the single, pure, and uncontaminated "one" only exists in the mind.

Only in the mind, in the spiritual entity, can you find "one" and discover "one" itself.

Now, this boundary is also the same.

Li Qi finally understood why he had done so many experiments in the past six months. No matter how he observed, he could only see the transformation, but not the boundary itself.

Because the boundary only exists 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 transformation of life and death from another perspective, while clearly feeling the flow of mind and information.

The demon dragon, however, 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 firmly trapped him and bound his body.

No matter how hard he struggled, he could not get rid of it.

The demon dragon roared, his body was strangely winding, his eyes were blue and bright, and he leaped into the air with a soaring posture, roaring angrily: "I have never died! I am just dormant, you underworld have crossed the line!"

But the underworld officials said nothing, and continued to tie up the demon dragon with hooks and ropes, unable to move at all.

Li Qi watched the tug-of-war quietly.

After a stalemate of about a minute, a Dharma image emerged in the iron city.

The Dharma image was a hundred feet tall, holding a wolf-hair brush, wearing a robe, a big crown, and a dark complexion. He shouted in the air:

The Dharma image said in a loud voice: "Crocodile dragon still dares to quibble. Our retribution for reincarnation has been recorded. Your crimes are all in the book. You have always relied on your cultivation, been greedy and cruel, bullied the bastards, refused to obey the way of heaven, and used evil magic to survive. Now that the ghost messenger has come, you still don't know how to check yourself, dare to speak wildly, and slander our government! Come on, you should be sent to the Lishe Prison!"

Following his order, several ghost soldiers took the order and went to join the battlefield.

Then the person who looked like a judge began to write the verdict in the air.

"The crocodile dragon was born in a state of unconsciousness, and all kinds of people are stubborn. He is always evil and never repents. He commits crimes at will. He has been reborn twelve times but has not died. He has used secret methods to escape reincarnation and has survived for seven thousand years. However, he is smart, but he overlooks the big things and learns from the punishments of reincarnation. He is the most secretive of the law and the most fair of the Tao. Now he has captured this traitor and thrown him into the Plow Tongue Prison!"

The verdict was written, and the Dharma image took out the seal and stamped it below.

Then, Li Qi saw that the iron city came alive.

A terrifying force suddenly erupted from the iron city and swept towards the demon 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 Taixue and the magic weapon for offering wine. She was responsible for regulating all behaviors in Taixue. 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 here 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 took a closer look 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 outside to explode. 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 human perspective, 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 his trouble was ridiculously high. Li Qi estimated that even if he blew up the Imperial College, he would not be affected at all.

The ruler continued: "Also, remember to apologize to the teacher who taught you. You have betrayed his trust."

"Of course." Li Qi replied.

The ruler seemed to have finished speaking.

Seeing that the ruler had almost finished speaking, Li Qi finally asked: "Sir, what about the compensation...?"

"No need, the Imperial College will not ask students for money for such a thing, but... you have damaged so many facilities, have you learned anything?" The ruler's expression slowed down and asked Li Qi.

"I have learned it, very valuable knowledge, I have always needed it." Li Qi bowed his head and said.

"That's good." The ruler nodded and disappeared on the spot.

Li Qi raised his head and looked at the empty space in front of him, a little surprised.

He thought... he would be expelled, or detained or something like that.

But the result was just an apology, self-reflection, and then suspension...

Even before the ruler left, he seemed a little relieved, because the other party had no expression, so Li Qi couldn't see it... But he just had this feeling.

It seemed that she was very happy that she had learned something.

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

Li Qi got up and went home.

He had to sort out what he had learned tonight, and then write a self-reflection and apology. After all this was prepared, he would go to Liu Canzhi and use the boundaries of the new learning to deal with the matter of the witch silkworm.

By taking advantage of the matter of the witch silkworm, he made a request to Liu Donghe, hoping that he could help the Lord of Lingxiao.

That's about it.

When Li Qi left the Imperial College, he caused a big mess, but fortunately he didn't need to clean it up by himself, there would be someone to help.

This is the advantage of being a child, an ignorant baby can overturn the dining table and tear the toilet paper everywhere, and you don't have to clean it up by yourself, and others have to comfort you, afraid that you will cry.

Of course, it was only during this period of time. After reaching the seventh rank, he would soon become an ‘adult’ who needed his own responsibility.

————————

During this period of time, 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 always cause a lot of trouble, whether it is because of themselves or because of the jealousy of their admirers and supporters.

In order to facilitate management and gather the trouble in one place, the Human Emperor Palace standardized Shangyuan so that hundreds of flowers could come here.

The Lord of Lingxiao took a deep breath, stopped at the door, and murmured: "Shangyuan... I'm back."
