After Aiko served the tea, Genya did not taste it, but quickly sent a message to Hoshino Shiori, who had been sending him messages after hearing the gunshot, to report that he was safe.
"As soon as you stop, you immediately reply to messages from people outside. Is it your girlfriend?" Buta Ito noticed Genya's actions and asked.
Genya heard Ito Buta's question and understood that the actions of the two people might have been under the observation of the old man in front of them from the beginning, and there were no secrets.
"No, just friends." Yuanye hesitated for a moment, and finally gave this answer. He was now connected to Hoshino Shiori. If he pretended to be this boyfriend, he felt that it might cause Hoshino Shiori's displeasure. , "Did Mr. Ito discover us from the beginning?"
"Those who are willing to accompany you in the cold wind are not like ordinary friends." Buta Ito shook his head and did not continue to delve deeper into this topic.
"But using drones to form a surveillance array is indeed a very smart way. As long as it rises to an altitude of almost a thousand meters, normal people will basically not notice it." Taketa Ito pointed to the top of his head, "But now in low-Earth orbit But there are tens of thousands of small satellites floating in the sky. They not only function as signal relay stations, replacing base stations in non-populated areas, but they can also serve as 'eyes in the sky' to monitor the ground."
"Of course, you don't need to worry. There are still very few people who can mobilize surveillance satellite videos. It's not out of privacy protection, it's just that they don't want to share this precious power." Taketa Ito said calmly, but The implication is that he also has this authority.
"Aren't you going to have some snacks? Aiko's cooking skills are quite good." Buta Ito glanced at Genya, saw him shaking his head, and continued, "It's a good thing for young people to be cautious, and I won't force it anymore. Then keep talking."
"Let's give an example that you young people can understand. For example, there is a saying that says, 'Music will force your ears.' Have you heard of it?" Taketa Ito gave an example, "That is to say, no matter how hard you listen, How to control one's own mind? People have their limits after all, there are always loopholes in the mind, and under strong external interference, flaws will quickly appear."
"Various sects also regard spiritual cultivation as a top priority. Are all their attempts wrong?" Yuan Ye asked. According to the situation in this world, most of the spiritual cultivation before time travel was just empty talk. Here On the contrary, it may be some early attempts to explore the extraordinary realm and use Qi.
"It is said that the Buddha also has the angry eyes of King Kong. Jiro's failure was also due to this. It does not mean that his sword heart is not perfect enough, but it is limited by the cruel biological laws." Ito Buta shook his head, "But theirs It’s not wrong to try.”
"Most of the cultivation methods in ancient times were just summaries of experience and did not introduce scientific verification methods like modern times. Their secret books used obscure language, mixed with countless metaphors and allusions, as well as the author's ramblings." Ito Wu Tai smiled and said, "You probably don't want to hear me talk to you about the theory of the four humors or the theory of yin and yang balance, which require a lot of metaphysical skills to understand. Let's use modern language."
Ito Taketa is like an old teacher who is good at teaching and telling everything he knows. It is as if Genya does not come to him for money to complete the commission, but Genya pays to come to him to receive teachings.
But the knowledge in these extraordinary fields is urgently needed by Yuan Ye, who knows nothing about it. When the human body reaches the carbon-based limit, it is probably difficult to figure out what to do next. It would be difficult to get the experience summary of predecessors. It couldn't be better, so he settled down and played the good student.
"Since the words of the outside world will affect people's minds, that is, thinking, leading to changes in the movement of Qi." Buta Ito said thoughtfully, "Then those who have Qi have made a guess-whether language precedes Thinking, or in other words, language is the basis of thinking.”
"Linguistic relativity? Hasn't that thing been falsified yet?" Yuan Ye was a little surprised. This was a theory almost two hundred years ago. It had been questioned before he traveled through time. He thought that this thing had already been invented in 2077. Completely disproven.
"Do you also know about Whorf's hypothesis?" Taketa Ito asked in surprise.
"I prefer reading some leisure books."
"It's a good thing to like reading, but the structure of the human brain is still not fully understood scientifically. Although the existence of Qi seems to prove that human beings are special, it is still unknown whether we are a more advanced biological machine. ." There was more approval in Buta Ito's eyes, "Therefore, it has been proven that the innate ability to generate language prior to language, that is, the existence of generative grammar, has not yet been confirmed."
"However, in research in the second half of the 21st century, the relationship between language and thought is considered to be a more ambiguous relationship, but that is all scientific research. If you want to understand it, you should consider getting a PhD in linguistics. degree, instead of listening to the nonsense of an old man like me." Taketa Ito smiled self-deprecatingly, "And this is all research done not long ago. What I want to say is that it is more ancient, or in other words, modern science. It hasn’t even been established yet.”
"People who discovered the relationship between language and thinking began to study. Since language can affect thinking, it can also affect the movement of qi. We can use it to help people grow and control qi." Taketa Ito said He said unhurriedly, "But the results produced by the initial research are not useful to people who have exceeded the carbon-based limit. On the contrary, they are of great help to people who have not reached this field."
"That's the birth of the breathing method." Taketa Ito turned on the projection TV on the wall and called up a human anatomy diagram. "In the final analysis, the basis of language is just the vibration of the air. Before the formation of civilization, primitive people Thinking and language already existed. At that time, people hunted together, and they only used one or two short syllables that were agreed upon to influence others, and naturally they could also influence themselves."
"Just like the encouragement of others sometimes makes people exert stronger power, I wanted to find the idea of guiding myself stronger and closer to the carbon-based limit, and I came up with the breathing method."
"However, the breathing method at that time was still very crude. Everyone only found that a certain breathing rhythm only contained one or two syllables that were useful for strengthening oneself. In fact, there were still many useless parts. The real explanation of the breathing method was The effect of speech syllables on themselves, and arranging them like the periodic table of elements, is already after the establishment of science." Taketa Ito said with some nostalgia, "I was also involved in this work at that time, and people from all over the world The primitive cultivators were forced by guns to take out their secret secrets and selflessly communicate and study. It was really a wonderful time."
Yuanye couldn't help but feel a little creepy. This guy was definitely more than 112 years old. The gift of advancing in the extraordinary realm definitely gave him a lifespan far beyond Yuanye's imagination.
Ito Buta seemed to notice the change in Genya's face and asked suddenly: "Do you want it? Breathing method."
"If you want, make a deal."
