Ye Feng thought deeply: "As she has grown up, the demonic energy has now been rooted in the blood and meridians. And as time goes by, the demonic energy is slowly becoming stronger, but the snake-man blood in Yaya's body has not. The law has grown. To put it simply, the power of sealing the demonic energy is getting weaker and weaker. Some of the demonic energy has been affected by the external yin energy on the full moon night and has begun to leak. She will have internal organs that are so painful that she would rather die than die. I feel that this is also the reason. Fortunately, this is just the influence of yin force. If it was the external induction of demonic energy, she would probably have exploded and died by this moment."
Ren Xiaojin said, "Feng, don't you have Samadhi True Fire? It should be able to eliminate evil spirits."
Hearing this, Ye Feng did not answer immediately, but looked at Qingni. Qingni sighed and said: "I was asked by Ye Feng to try it just now, and the conclusion is that it doesn't work. After all, Miss Yaya is still a snake. It’s not just ordinary humans. If just ordinary humans are contaminated with demonic energy, Samadhi True Fire can indeed eliminate the demonic energy while repairing the physical damage caused by the demonic energy.
But Miss Yaya has the body of a snake. Over the years, the demonic energy has been inseparable from the flesh and blood of her body. If I have to describe it, it can be said that Yaya's body is composed of flesh and blood that has grown based on the demonic energy. If you forcibly eliminate the demonic energy, it is actually the same as changing your body."
Jiang Yu asked: "Old Ye, can't you do it?"
Ye Feng said: "It's not that it can't be done, but that would cause another problem."
Tu Shanling was very curious, "What will be the problem?"
Ye Feng said seriously: "Theseus' paradox."
Linglong understood it immediately, and although Yunxi didn't understand what Theseus' Paradox meant, she was sure that her first impression after watching the video was that the master was indeed a modern person.
"Master, what is Theseus' paradox?" Yun Xi asked
Ye Feng explained: "The Paradox of Theseus, also known as the Ship of Theseus, is one of the oldest thought experiments. It was first recorded by Plutarch. It describes a ship that can sail on the sea for hundreds of Years of ship thanks to continuous repairs and replacement parts. As long as a piece of wood rots, it will be replaced, and so on, until all the functional parts are no longer the original ones. Then the problem is, eventually Is the resulting ship still the original ship of Theseus, or is it a completely different ship? If it is not the original ship, at what point does it cease to be the original ship? Philosophers later came to this question By extension, if old parts removed from the ship of Theseus are used to build a new ship, which of the two ships is the real ship of Theseus?
A modern example would be a band that continues to evolve until at a certain stage none of the original members remain, only the names remain. So is this band still the same band as before? One day even the name was changed. Does the original band still exist? Or has it completely disappeared? And what standards are used to judge an existence?
For the human body, the human body is constantly undergoing metabolism and self-repair. Every cell in our body has become new and has been replaced, except for the brain. According to current theory, brain cells are terminally differentiated cells and cannot regenerate or renew themselves. However, every viewpoint and cognition in the brain can be changed. When enough viewpoints and cognitions are changed, self-awareness will follow. Change, for example, after a violent person reads a lot of books, he becomes a humble gentleman who knows right from wrong and is knowledgeable. That self-awareness has undergone a drastic change. So if even the self has changed, is it still important to just have a brain that cannot be changed? Or in other words, which one is the most important to talents, the brain or the self-soul within the brain? Obviously, it is very unreasonable and unreliable to use the brain as an organ as the criterion for judging whether I am still the same person. And the latest research shows that there are still two parts of the brain where cells can self-renew, namely the olfactory bulb that controls our sense of smell and the hippocampus used for learning.
The core idea of this experiment is to force people to reflect on the common sense that identity is limited to actual objects and phenomena.
So the question comes back to the original point, am I still the same person as before? On the whole, I am still defined as the person I am, and this body is still me. But in terms of details, since every cell in me is new and every thought I have is new, then I How could it be the original me? "
Yun Xi looked confused and said with a slight headache: "Master, I want to change my image in your eyes to a scumbag, is it still too late?"
Ye Feng glanced at Yun Xi and said, "It's too late."
Ye Feng continued: "Miss Yaya's situation is similar to this. Even now, the demonic energy in her body has long been integrated with her soul.
At this moment, everyone finally realized what Ye Feng wanted to say.
Ye Feng paused for a moment and waited for everyone before continuing: "If I control the Samadhi True Fire now, I can indeed remove the demonic energy while making up for the missing human tissue. But when it comes to the soul, the self Where is the consciousness?”
Ye Feng looked at Nangong Yu and said: "I know that Miss Yaya is hostile to me, just like what happened at the auction venue during the day. In addition to her own knowledge of men, it is undeniable that the devil's energy affects her. The influence of self-awareness also exists. So the self-awareness of Yaya's soul is that she is the self under the influence of demonic energy, or she is the real herself who is not affected by demonic energy.
I know this exactly, so at most I will only give her a small punishment, but I will not make it too difficult for her.
Now I can indeed eliminate the demonic energy in her soul without damaging her memory. But Miss Nangong, is the Yaya you met before, completely unaffected, or is she affected by the demonic energy? Conscious of her. If after I get rid of the evil spirit, she becomes as knowledgeable and sensible as you and can treat men accurately, then will she still be the same person you know? Even if she still remembers you and has the same memory of getting along with you, do you think she is still the same person you know?"
Nangong Yu understood what Ye Feng meant, but it was precisely because she understood that she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, because she knew that Yaya's consciousness must be affected by demonic energy. For example, Ye Feng ignored the previous suspicion and put 2 He gave Yaya the Heavenly Elixir and explained the reason sincerely. No normal person would be hostile to Ye Feng anymore, but Sister Yaya was still very unfriendly to Ye Feng. She wouldn't believe it to her death if there was no demonic influence here, but it was Yaya like this This is the character of Sister Yaya whom I have known for more than ten years."
But this time Nangong Yu came to Ye Feng not to become friends with Ye Feng, but because of Yaya's condition.
