I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

Chapter 463 Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
"It doesn't matter. Once our software is added to Google Map, users will choose us again." Lin Yu, who had been silent until now, turned the laptop computer in a direction, and the new features that were about to be updated were displayed on it.

This is similar to many previous software, which allows users to see offline car dealerships and facilitate their trip to their destination.

However, the new features that appear at this point in time are definitely capable of surpassing many existing software.

You know, now when people go out, those who have the conditions will use GPS navigation, while those who don’t have the conditions can only rely on paper maps.

The Google Map mobile app 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 Australia, many people are accustomed to using TomTom GPS devices, but the function of mobile phone applications that can view and display approximate locations is also very attractive.

"Om."

The three of them chatted for a while, and Chen Xi suddenly received a text message.

The sender turned out to be the auntie at the gate of the consulate. The text message said that their leader had arrived in Mo Village, and the auntie also specially invited him to attend the class.

Mexico Village Convention Center.

This is where Jin Nana and Shen Xinyi performed last time. Today, this leader actually booked the entire convention center. It is conceivable that there are many wealthy people among his followers.

There were a lot of people coming in and out, and there were various billboards at the door with photos of the leader Neon printed on them.

The funniest thing was the two foreigners at the door, sitting cross-legged with a pious look on their faces, seemingly praying for something.

Chen Xi was surprised to find that some of the people entering the venue were wearing special costumes, and they were obviously monks and Taoists.

"Hey, young man, you're here at last. The leader is here in person this time to open your eyes. If you are accepted as the leader's last disciple, you must take good care of me in the future. I've seen that you have good qualifications..."

"I was wondering why you were so intent on getting me into the church. It turns out you had this little plan..."

Chen Xi glared at the aunt and followed her into the venue.

At this moment, in the backstage dressing room, a man in his fifties was trying on a suit.

He doesn't look like a Chinese, but more like a Japanese.

She has long hair, a smiling face, and looks very easy to get along with.

"Master, all the Buddhists and Taoists from all over Australia are here, as well as many people from other countries..."

"Oh, I see."

Suddenly, a subordinate came to report, and Neon nodded with a calm look on his face.

Then he asked all his men to go out, opened his clothes, checked his body, and then strode out of the dressing room with satisfaction.

"Sister, why are there so many monks and Taoists here?"

"The leader has extraordinary powers. He comes to give a lecture, so naturally these people come to learn."

Sitting in the seat, Chen Xi couldn't help but ask a question, and the aunt raised her head proudly, the 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, whom he had just separated from. Beside them were several elderly monks and Taoists.

"Hello, distinguished guests! Here are my believers, masters of Buddhism and Taoism, as well as some Westerners and journalists. Today, we gather together to discuss and exchange topics about culture, faith and wisdom." Neon stood in front of the podium and began to teach.

The believers below had extremely strong lights in their eyes, while the others had looks of disdain.

"As we all know, Buddhist exercises are often closely linked to the inner cultivation of practitioners. In Buddhism, practitioners go deep into their hearts and seek liberation and wisdom through meditation. Meditation is the foundation of Buddhist practice. By adjusting breathing and relaxing the body and mind, practitioners can gradually enter a state of detachment from the world and gain insight into the truth of the world. In addition to meditation, Buddhism also has many methods, such as chanting the Buddha's name and observing the mind, all of which are aimed at helping practitioners purify their minds and achieve nirvana. Taoist exercises emphasize harmony and unity with nature. Practitioners aim to enhance their personal life energy and achieve longevity through the practice of inner alchemy, breathing, and guiding. Among Taoist exercises, inner alchemy is the most core one. It requires practitioners to gradually condense their true essence and achieve the state of unity between man and nature through steps such as refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, and refining spirit into emptiness. In addition, Taoism also focuses on cultivating the body shape, and exercises the body through guiding techniques, martial arts, etc., so that the body and mind can reach the best state." Neon continued to preach.

"Why is it just like in a fantasy novel?" Chen Xi couldn't help but complain as he sat there.

"Our leader knows everything about astronomy and geography, and has done in-depth research on other religions' techniques." The old lady picked her nose and then looked at the person on the stage with admiration.

"So is he practicing Buddhism or Taoism?"

"Just keep listening and stop talking."

"..." The aunt interrupted Chen Xi's question. She felt that this was a great disrespect to the leader.

"My Guru Kungfu is a new type of Kungfu that combines Buddhist meditation and Taoist inner alchemy. This Kungfu is designed to help practitioners improve their mind and body at the same time, achieving the effect of both internal and external cultivation.

Practitioners first go deep into their hearts and purify their souls through meditation. In this process, practitioners need to adjust their breathing, relax their body and mind, and gradually enter a state of detachment from the world. Then, practitioners begin to practice inner alchemy, and through the steps of refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, etc., they gradually condense true essence and enhance life energy.

During the practice, Gurugong also focuses on the coordination and unity of body and mind. Practitioners need to exercise their bodies through Daoyin techniques, martial arts, etc. to achieve the best state of mind and body. At the same time, practitioners also need to maintain a peaceful state of mind in daily life, follow the laws of nature, and live in harmony with the surrounding environment.

The practice of Guru Kung Fu requires practitioners to have firm beliefs and perseverance. Through long-term practice, practitioners can gradually understand the true meaning of life and achieve liberation and freedom of body and mind. "Neon's words made Xu Jingtao, Li Guangfu and others look very unhappy.

When Guru Kung Fu was first introduced, it was marketed as a Buddhist practice, and even some of the names of its practices were related to Buddhism. Now it has suddenly been integrated with Taoism to form its own school.

"There are many new people here who are listening to my lecture for the first time. Let me first explain why this exercise is called Gurugong. It is because when practicing, the body will produce strange noises, making a gurgling sound. According to the current classification, it is a kind of qigong!"

"Haha, isn't that Toad Kung Fu? Has your leader watched too much Legend of the Condor Heroes? Could he be Ouyang Feng's disciple?"

"What do you know? This is a foreign country, so of course we have to give it a memorable name. Foreigners can't remember those complicated names, and they are not easy to translate."

As soon as Ni Hong finished speaking, Chen Xi in the audience couldn't help laughing, and the aunt next to him glared at him fiercely.

"When our practice reaches the highest level, we can summarize the universe and break through the void... In my previous life, I was the master of the universe. Everything in the world was created by me, even my parents. In this life, when I was a few years old, I realized the superior Dafa and can do things that ordinary people cannot do..."

"It's just fart!"

"You guys believe this? Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?"

The people in the audience were all highly educated, so naturally they couldn't sit still after hearing such boastful words.

"You say that you created everything, even your parents, but your parents gave birth to you. Isn't this a contradiction?" A man stood up and asked loudly.

"This gentleman asked a good question. Then 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 evolve gradually through a long period of gradual change and natural selection.

Therefore, we can assume that during the evolution of birds, an ancestral species gradually evolved characteristics similar to chickens, including reproductive methods such as laying eggs and hatching.

Under this hypothesis, we can say that eggs already existed in the ancestral species of chickens, and the offspring hatched from these eggs may have features closer to modern chickens. However, this does not mean that these eggs are "chicken eggs" because they may come 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 circles and paradoxes.

"I... I don't know." The man who questioned Neon suddenly had a brain crash. Who could answer such a question?

"I know, the chicken came before the egg!" another man stood up and shouted.

"Oh why?"

"In the process of biological evolution, the genetic information of species is passed on to offspring through genes. If we imagine an ancestral creature that gradually evolved into a chicken, then at some point in this evolutionary process, this creature possessed certain characteristics of a chicken, including its unique method of reproduction - laying eggs. Therefore, we can infer that when this creature laid an egg with the genetic information of a chicken for the first time, that egg could be called an 'egg', thus proving that chickens came before eggs." After the man finished speaking, he looked around with some pride, and everyone thought that what he said made sense.

"Eggs are materials containing genetic information laid by many animals in order to reproduce. In the history of biological evolution, many species have experienced the process of laying eggs. If we broaden our horizons and not just limit ourselves to the evolution of chickens, we will find that eggs existed long before the appearance of chickens. Before the ancestors of chickens evolved into chickens, they had already begun laying eggs. One of these eggs, after a long period of evolution, eventually hatched what we call a "chicken."

"But you didn't take into account 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 yet evolved into a chicken, then the genetic information in the eggs it lays cannot be completely chicken. Only when the organism has evolved into a chicken can it lay real "eggs"."

"Biological evolution is a long process and cannot be completed overnight. In the process of evolution, organisms will undergo many gene mutations and gene recombination, and these changes are gradually accumulated. Therefore, we cannot simply assume that only after an organism has fully evolved into a chicken can it lay "eggs". On the contrary, we should see that in the process of evolution, the genetic information of the egg is gradually approaching the genetic information of the chicken, until it finally hatches 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? Didn't you practice some kind of qigong? Show us something! Don't just talk about it."

The man was confused by the neon lights, so he quickly changed his method to deal with the enemy.
