Zhao Rong was immediately curious and wanted to ask about the second sword emperor.
I just changed my mind and decided to do it. Ever since that night when he woke up in Dali, his words had become less frequent.
Zhao Rong had a busy day at the academy today. Apart from teasing Zhao Rong in the morning, he didn't make much noise. After he entered Xia Chong Zhai at night, he made no sound at all.
Thinking that he would ask it again after returning to Dali at night, Zhao Rong calmed down for the time being.
"Why."
Zhao Xifu spoke to Zhao Rong for the second time tonight.
The tone is serious.
Zhao Rong glanced at him, continued to shake his head, shrugged and said casually: "I don't know either. Well, I saw a similar statement in a certain miscellaneous book on a certain day in a certain year. If you ask me now, I will definitely not remember it. I found it very interesting.
.”
Although he said this with a sincere tone, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
I can't help but laugh, it seems to be some kind of bad taste.
"..." Everyone was startled and couldn't help but look at his expression. Obviously, even Su Xiaoxiao, the stupidest person in Zhao Rong's mouth, could tell that he was lying. This guy clearly didn't say anything on purpose.
Don't know?
Very deserving of a beating.
Zhao Xifu looked at this brat that he just met tonight. At first, he thought that the girl Zhao was not only very handsome, but also very good in all aspects.
It’s just that his eyesight is a little not so good. For example, he actually fell in love with such a boy and even sacrificed a first-class sword for him that the world’s sword cultivators dream about. Is it because God gave him too many natal swords...
Until now, the shopkeeper suddenly realized that he was wrong... Girl Zhao was obviously blind.
Zhao Xifu suddenly felt a little itchy in his hands.
He looked at Zhao Rong for a while and said deliberately: "Well, you said it's the fastest, but I don't think so."
Zhao Rong joked: "If you are not the fastest, then why do you swordsmen like "Chaoyou Beihai Danmu Cangwu" only give up a hundred steps and then never catch up with the bamboo horse?"
Zhao Xifu curled his lips and said firmly, "If you can't catch up, it may be because the two swords have the same speed. Who says that a Li Li must be slower than a Bamboo Horse?"
Zhao Rong nodded surprisingly and praised, "It is indeed true. Yes, the shopkeeper is more knowledgeable. I know that with the wisdom of Mr. Zhao, I will not be able to hide it from you..."
This round of flattery made Zhao Xifu twitch the corner of his mouth, and the more he listened, the more something was wrong.
Sure enough, Zhao Rong's words suddenly changed in the next second:
"Well, imagine if the two swords have the same speed, then of course they will not be able to catch up. Moreover, in this case, the distance between the two swords will of course remain the same, right...ahem."
Zhao Xifu’s eyebrows couldn’t help but gather together again.
Because under someone's warm reminder, he had to face the problem that made him uneasy again:
Yes, if Ikuri and Zhuma move at the same speed, then of course they keep a certain distance, but in fact, Ikuri is pulling the distance closer and closer.
So one chestnut is faster?
However, Yili cannot cross the last distance no matter what, because as long as it advances "this distance", it will take some time, and the bamboo horse will also advance a little distance in this time.
Ikuri can only get infinitely close to the bamboo horse running in front, but cannot catch up with it.
In other words, as long as the distance that originally existed before Liyu Zhuma can be divided infinitely, and each divided distance requires some time to catch up, then the distance that can be divided infinitely will take infinite time.
Go catch up.
It's strange. Although the distance is getting closer, the faster one can't catch up with the one in front.
So Ichiguri is...
Fast, but not quite?
Or is it that in the process of chasing, the bamboo horse will secretly accelerate every time it is approached, so it is really the fastest sword, so it can keep Ikuri behind?
The uneasiness comes from the unknown that is out of control.
Zhao Xifu has not experienced this feeling for a long, long time. For him, he has long been indifferent to most things on the mountain, even if it was the first and last time he stepped into Xia Chongzhai in Jingwa Alley six thousand years ago.
That was already the case.
Over the years, the news, big or small, about the Jixia Academy of the Jiang Dynasty in Tunanzhou, brought by people from all walks of life who came to ask for wine, could easily make him marvel.
It's been a while.
It's just that the metaphysical things I heard debated by hundreds of schools of thought in the past are either too imaginary and too high, or they are old wine in a new bottle and have been around for a long time.
But now this weird paradox that Zhao Rong has induced in an ordinary way is actually around him. He has never noticed it before, but now that he thinks about it, it makes him extremely scared.
The man in the shop became more and more curious as he thought about it.
It's definitely not that he is ignorant or that his thinking is distracted at some point, but the more he thinks about this situation, the more it goes against his worldview.
Zhao Xifu suddenly said: "No, the speed is definitely different, a chestnut must be faster than a bamboo horse!"
Zhao Rong nodded, smiled and said something ironic:
"Yes, not only is Yili faster than the bamboo horse, but many swords are faster than Yili, but it is also strange that they can only follow the bamboo horse and never catch up. So... the fastest sword in the world,
Are there any swords that can't catch up? The word 'fastest' about them is a bit frustrating."
He sighed with regret, glanced at the man in charge of the shop, turned around and winked at him and said: "So, the shopkeeper thinks which sword is better for the word "fastest"?
Zhao Xifu remained silent.
Zhao Rong smiled and was not going to make things difficult for others anymore. After all, this was a kind of golden finger for him.
This paradox is a famous paradox put forward by a Western sage in the previous life, called "Achilles cannot catch up with the turtle", but tonight, it was replaced by a chestnut and a bamboo horse by Zhao Rong, and it was brought up in a bad way.
This paradox involves something metaphysical, that is, time and space.
If we want to study and solve it in detail, we must reveal the most fundamental appearance of time and space, as well as their essential operating laws...
However, these, summarized by the ancient philosophers in previous lives, have become the worldview that people in previous lives have taken for granted.
Standing on the shoulders of giants, Zhao Rong can solve this paradox in many ways.
However, in this world, this paradox is proposed for the first time... Well, Zhao Rong doesn't know if the predecessors of Xuanhuang Realm or the scholars of Jixia Academy have noticed similar problems.
However, they know absolutely very little about the most essential aspects of time and space. After all, regarding 'time', the most similar description and explanation from thousands of monks in the Xuanhuang Cultivation World is nothing more than 'the long river of time'.
Character.
The understanding of it is simple and exposed.
As for what the "water" in this river is, whether the "water" is continuous or discontinuous... I have no idea.
The same is true for Lian Gui.
And now, the reaction and expression of Shopkeeper Zhao, who seems not to be simple and whose tone is very loud, proves this point.
Zhao Rong shook his head.
At this time, he glanced at the shopkeeper who was deep in thought, and tentatively picked up the pitch-black wine bottle.
Seeing that the latter did not stop him, Zhao Rong happily poured a glass for everyone at the table.
Starting from Zhu Yourong, continue counterclockwise and hand it to them.
Two friends have it, Xiaoxiao has it, Qianer has it, and Qingjun has it too.
But after pouring the wine for Qingjun, he shook the wine bottle and found that it was empty.
There were ten people at the table, and there were nine glasses in total. The only one missing was Zhao Rong, who poured the wine.
Under the eyes of everyone, he put down the empty wine bottle as if nothing had happened, and smiled and invited everyone to drink.
The next second, Zhao Lingfei, Su Xiaoxiao, Zhu Yourong, Li Xueyou and Zhao Qianer at the table raised their hands almost at the same time.
It seems like you want to... move the wine glass?
Then the movements of several women stopped at the same time.
"…………"
"…………"
After a moment of silence, Zhao Lingfei turned her head, glanced at them, pursed her lips, and said, "Mr. Zhu, little girl, Miss Li, this glass of wine is my husband's heart, please don't push me away... um I
Just give him this cup, and you can drink it yourselves."
Facing the woman with autumn eyes with a slight smile on her lips.
Zhu Yourong immediately retracted her hand. She lowered her eyes slightly, looked at the wine glass, nodded slightly, then smiled politely, and the next second she raised her head without hesitation and drank the Bing Niang wine in one gulp.
Su Xiaoxiao said "oh" twice, covered the wine glass with both hands, and imitated Mr. Zhu and drank the wine.
"Thank... thank you." The little fox demon glanced at Zhao Rong.
Li Xueyou responded with a blush, looking at the wine glass Zhao Rong handed her with complicated eyes, but did not drink it immediately, as if he was hesitating...
Zhao Lingfei pushed her Bing Niang wine in front of Zhao Rong.
Zhao Rong shook his head.
Zhao Lingfei also shook her head, looking a little stubborn.
Zhao Rong was about to evade, but Zhao Lingfei was the first to say: "I am determined to climb the peak of swordsmanship step by step. I will not drink this glass of beauty wine."
Yu Huaijin, who was writing on the table and frowning, temporarily stopped moving her hands and glanced at the top genius of Taiqing Xiaoyao Mansion.
This sentence means a lot.
Bing Niang Liquor can preserve one's appearance, and if a monk is able to defeat Jue Chen in a short period of time, his longevity will increase and his appearance will remain almost unchanged.
And when you break through a very high level, your appearance will last forever.
Therefore, the peak of swordsmanship that Zhao Lingfei wants to climb is at least higher than this 'very high' realm, and this 'very high' realm is much higher than Mr. Zhu's current realm...
Zhao Rong was stunned when he heard the words, and heard the sharpness hidden in her soft tone.
He felt happy for no reason, stopped giving in, and drank the ice cream wine.
Everyone also drank.
Zhao Rong put down his wine glass, then Zhu Yourong frowned and said:
"Tzuyu, why exactly is this happening?"
Obviously, she deserves the paradox that Zhao Rong just raised.
Yu Huaijin also nodded and followed the teacher, looking at Zhao Rong seriously.
Zhu Yourong continued:
"Since Ziyu, we all know that if Yili and Zhuma really compete, Yili can definitely catch up with Zhuma, even if it takes ten thousand steps, it is only a matter of time...
"Well, I don't mean to look down on Miss Zhao, but I heard before that Miss Zhao's bamboo horse has fallen to a mortal level... So, why can't Yili catch up with the bamboo horse in the reasonable hypothetical scenario you mentioned?
"
Zhu Yourong, Zhao Xifu, Yu Huaijin and others looked at Zhao Rong intently.
This conclusion seems absurd, but if you think about it carefully, all the premises of this conclusion are reasonable and valid, so why would you draw such a conclusion that goes against common sense based on logical reasoning?
Is there some fundamental way of heaven and earth hidden in this that has never been discovered by the sages?
Zhao Rong looked hesitant.
In fact, he doesn't really care about killing or burying people, but he thinks the most precious thing about this issue is the thinking process.
In Zhao Rong's previous life, many philosophers and mathematicians tried to come up with solutions to this paradox. In the process, many interesting 'answers' were born.
Any kind of response to it will prompt people to reflect on the most fundamental metaphysical presuppositions and explore how to correctly understand time and space...
The process of thinking is the most important. Maybe in this world, new answers can be born?
Zhao Rong felt that this was what he wanted to see when he proposed this paradox here.
It is also a kind of secondary mission of his 'being a man in two lives'... rather than simply telling the answer, buying a coffin and returning the pearl.
