"Sir, what should we do now?" Huang Tu learned that Xu Kai's life would not be in danger at least. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but then he became nervous again. After all, Xu Kai was preparing to face the God's Will List directly. This was a critical period. Nothing can go wrong.
Wang Xin also fell into deep thought, and then said: "Perhaps the news that Xu Kai has returned safely from the secret realm of demon refining should be spread. In this way, Xu Kai, as a hero of the human race, at least in a short period of time, there will be no students from other departments because of 'Dao Zheng' will go to him to cause trouble."
"Then do it!"
"But there is another risk in doing this." Wang Xin looked hesitant, "There is a mole in the human race, and it is a very high-level mole. We have not found it yet. If the news is spread, that person will know Since Xu Kai is currently in Tianxiang, he may face a more serious blow."
"The mole?!" Huang Tu was shocked, "There is actually a mole?! Aren't you worried that that person was sent by the mole?!"
"Don't worry. Although they are locked in a separate space within the Bagua array, the saint can still monitor them."
"Then why didn't you stop him in the first place?"
"Debating scriptures is a common thing. Tianxiang also encourages healthy competition like this, so Tianxiang will not intervene." Wang Xin sighed, "I can only hope that Xu Kai, who does not read classics, will not be shocked by the literary heart. "
…
…
"The matter of probability is destiny, how can it be calculated by the magic of numbers?!"
Qi Zongxian looked gloomy and scolded him coldly.
"The so-called 'Tao can be Tao, but not Tao; name can be named, but not name'. Things in the world are freely unfolding and formless absolute reality. How can we accurately express it in words? Let alone the ethereal reality. It’s a matter of probability!”
Xu Kaixin had some enlightenment. This is probably what Mr. Wang Xin calls the "Taoist struggle." However, this Qi Zongxian seems to be just a civil servant. Presumably, he has not really attracted the attention of the Taoist family.
From what he said, it seemed that the probability question he asked during the fight with Zhao Changwen that day stimulated him?
"I heard that the semi-saints can penetrate the heavens and the earth, and can deduce things, have insight into some of the secrets of heaven, and detect some of the future events. Doesn't this contradict what you said, or are you rebuking all the saints?"
"Tao Zu said: 'The saints do things without doing anything, and teach without saying anything.' This is because if you say it, it will change the future, and even the saints dare not say that their deductions are absolutely correct, so why do you dare to say so? 'Probability' can actually be calculated and is absolutely correct?!" Qi Zongxian's eyes widened in anger, and he seemed to be even more angry.
Xu Kai realized that he should not be able to simply convince the other party. The other party quoted a lot of evidence, and since he was weak in this area, he could not be his opponent, so he planned to directly refute his opponent with facts. As soon as he thought, blue dots scattered in all directions floated over, forming a hundred playing cards according to his thoughts, three of which had a circle on them.
He stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation: "Brother Qi, please randomly draw one of these cards. So what do you think is the probability that you will draw a card with a circle?"
Qi Zongxian frowned, but still replied: "I know some math skills to some extent. Since there are one hundred cards, and three of them have circles, then in this case, it is naturally three percent."
"It seems that Qi has understood the preliminary calculation of probability. Let's look at these hundred cards. Three of them also have a pattern, but this time the pattern is a square. Then you draw one card from each of the two card piles. , what is the probability that one page has a circle and the other has a square?"
Qi Zongxian thought for a moment, frowned and said, "In this case, we should add three percent to three percent... and we will get nine ten thousandths."
Xu Kai clapped his hands: "Yes, that's it. In that case, what's the difference between the question that Brother Qi did and the pot-throwing question that I gave that day? It's just that the calculation is more complicated."
Qi Zongxian retorted: "The probability of drawing a card can be calculated, but how can the probability of a person doing something be calculated? Whether A and B go to the county depends on their will, so how do you calculate the will?"
Xu Kai probably understood the other party's thoughts. In modern terms, Qi Zongxian should think that probability is a category of "metaphysics" and mathematics has nothing to do with it. To a certain extent, this is not wrong, because probability is an extremely metaphysical thing, as revealed by Murphy's Law.
But this does not mean that probability theory is useless.
If probability theory has no role, why did Xu Kai in his previous life carry it forward and become an indispensable subject in mathematics?
"If it is all based on one's mind, it is naturally difficult to calculate. But for people, his behavior often has some habits. Habits make his behavior repetitive, and repetitiveness has the value of research. And if it is This scope is enlarged from an individual to a large scale, such as a city or a country. Due to their respective customs and habits, they will also show a certain degree of reliability in a large scale, and naturally have research value."
Qi Zongxian felt like he was about to faint.
But he has been taught by Taoists for more than 20 years, how can he be disturbed by just a few words?
"God's behavior is always constant, and it does not survive because of Yao or destroy because of Jie. How can God's will change due to human behavior?"
Xu Kai was a little confused. He remembered that his teacher also said this sentence when he was taking an ideological and political class. However, the explanation at the time was that this sentence expressed Xunzi's materialist values. How did it come to mean this when Qi Zongxian came here? ?
However, he also quickly understood what Qi Zongxian wanted to say: "You mean that matters of probability are the will of God, and half-sages spy on the secrets of heaven to make deductions; while numerology is the pursuit of certainty, so the two are not compatible?"
"I don't completely deny the mathematicians' ideas, but probability is not something that can be calculated. Even the things you proposed must be wrong!"
"Even if I have given clear proofs and arguments?"
"For something that was wrong from the beginning, no matter how many arguments there are later, it will only make you further wrong." Qi Zongxian nodded, feeling that Xu Kai had begun to listen to what he said.
"Since the two are incompatible, one of them must be wrong. That is to say -"
"That's right, Xu Kai. Our Taoist classics have endured for hundreds of thousands of years, but your theory of probability is just in its infancy. No one has ever studied this before, and it's just a castle in the air. Although I have no idea of letting you change your family, But you should also know which one is correct, your theory of probability or my Taoist method, right?" Qi Zongxian raised his chin proudly.
"I see, you have been walking on the wrong path."
As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder in a silent place.
Seeing Xu Kai's suddenly enlightened look, Qi Zongxian was silent for a long time, and finally opened his mouth, but instead of speaking, a long sword flew out of his mouth.
This is Qi Zongxian's rhetoric.
The long sword shone with a sharp cold light, and Xu Kai could almost see his own image on the long sword.
"Can you say that again?"
The chill in Qi Zongxian's words was even colder than his long sword.
