What does it mean?
I frowned slightly and blurted out subconsciously.
"It means...most of the higher organisms on earth...or just our human body, based on the underlying structure. Maybe it's a symbiotic life form?"
Mitochondria provide energy to cells!
In other words, the unit energy that forms the basis of human life comes from mitochondria—in fact, mitochondria themselves have their own set of genetic material and genetic systems.
"That's right! Classmate Wu Zhong is so smart."
Zhang Xiaofei snapped her fingers with satisfaction, adjusted her black-rimmed glasses, and looked at me with a smile on her face.
"Current life science research has basically confirmed that the mitochondria in our human cells may be a kind of parasite! Or to be precise, it is the ancient primitive cells that engulfed the special bacteria [proto-mitochondria], and after countless years During evolutionary evolution, mitochondria and cells were perfectly symbiotic and became the energy-providing part of living organisms. Scientists believe that this fusion occurred about 1.7 billion years ago."
Very amazing scientific knowledge!
The students in the classroom were very surprised and became more interested in this course.
But in my heart, there was even more shocking waves.
If the evolution of life, from a scientific microscopic perspective, has been a deep-seated [parasitism] or [symbiosis] from the earliest times...
So, what about from a macro perspective in the field of metaphysics?
In my mind, I suddenly and inexplicably thought of Zhu Qihan and the living creature hidden in the cabbage-shaped [mysterious black phantom]!
Back in the tomb of the King of Shu underground in Lianghe Town, when Zhu Qihan was planning to swallow the plant-like mysterious black phantom, he was bitten by the "bug" hidden in the interlayer of the leaves...
Then the "worm" actually got into Zhu Qihan's body, entered his brain, and finally broke through his forehead and skull and came out. One person and one insect formed some other [parasitism] or [symbiosis] state!
Although it looks very disgusting and weird, Zhu Qihan's strength has indeed improved significantly - much more powerful than Situ Qian.
To a certain extent, can the "worms" and Zhu Qihan of [Xuanhei Phantom] achieve a higher evolution of the essence of life after [Symbiosis]?
Another example is the practice of Miao Gu magicians. After they obtain the natal Gu, the Gu can hide inside the body, and the mind and life of the human and Gu are connected. Is this another level of [symbiotic evolution]?
The evolution of life, fast and slow, micro and macro, science and metaphysics... is really vast and mysterious!
Thoughts are running through my mind.
A lot of information, messy and complicated.
There seems to be some deeper understanding and thinking about [life] and [evolution]. It’s as if on a cognitive level, I’m halfway to an epiphany!
It's just that for a moment, it was vague and unclear, and I couldn't grasp the key clues.
"Classmate Wu Zhong, what are you thinking about? Don't be distracted in class."
Suddenly a pleasant voice interrupted my thinking.
It was like I woke up from a dream and came back to my senses.
Look up.
It turned out that Zhang Xiaofei was standing in front of me at some point. She was slightly bent over, holding her glasses frame with one hand and looking at me with a smile.
The other students also found it funny.
In fact, no matter my magic skills or martial arts skills, it is impossible for me to be approached so easily without being noticed. Mainly because it was in a university classroom and it should be absolutely safe, so I didn't care.
And it was true that I was in a daze because I was thinking about the problem.
Because we were so close, I could smell the fragrance on her clothes and body - it was a nice gardenia smell, probably a perfume or something.
I quickly moved back a little quietly and said awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Zhang, I just thought about some things about life and evolution, and I got a little distracted."
Zhang Xiaofei straightened up and praised.
"He is indeed a good student who is serious and eager to learn!"
Maybe it was because he was praised by the beautiful teaching assistant and senior sister in the same department. The other male students seemed a little envious, and even some who were usually bolder and more outgoing still shouted there.
"Teacher Zhang, I can also be serious and studious. Can you praise me too?"
Zhang Xiaofei was not angry and just responded with a smile.
"Okay! I'll praise you when you can answer the teacher's questions well in class."
Jingle Bell!
The bell rang for the end of get out of class.
Zhang Xiaofei walked back to the podium, packed up her textbooks, and prepared to finish class.
…
College courses are generally relatively easy, far from the terrifying intensity of study in high school.
There are only classes in the morning, and I have two classes in the afternoon, and then I can rest.
In fact, there have always been some voices of dissatisfaction among the public opinion circles regarding this education model of "strict entry and easy exit". Many people think that we should adopt the same "easy entry and strict exit" model as in the West - that is, it is easy to get into college but difficult to get a diploma.
However, considering the number of people in China, this is actually unrealistic.
Of course, these are all things for later...
Back to business.
After the day's class ended, I went to Xiuxing Company again and had a face-to-face talk with Zhao Zihao about [Yinnv]. At the same time, I also want to know the protection status of the other [Yin Nu] except He Nan.
Fortunately, except for He Nan, the other eight people were fine and spent last night safely.
"Uncle Zhao, what should we do next?"
I asked Zhao Zihao.
He shook his head helplessly.
"In the current situation, I am in the light and the enemy is in the dark. This is equivalent to guarding against thieves for a thousand days... In addition to guarding and protecting the nine [Yin Women], we must also guard the various sealing formations. . At the same time, we must also be vigilant about some daily patrols to prevent the other party from playing tricks."
Speaking of this, the expression on Zhao Zihao's face became more relaxed.
"Thankfully, the two temples, Longhua Temple and Jing'an Temple, as well as some local cultivating families in Shencheng, have agreed to help us. They will also assist Xiuxing Company and always pay attention to the recent situation in Shencheng."
That's good!
As a result, the burden on Xiuxing Company is no longer so heavy.
I looked at Zhao Zihao. He used to be a very bold and cheerful person, but he has become more taciturn recently. I guess it's just too much pressure.
That group of evil cultivators are all of high level and powerful!
He and I chatted for a while about the recent situation and discussed some spiritual issues, then left Xiuxing Company and took a taxi home.
…
In a taxi.
The phone rang.
When I saw the caller's name, it read: Yao Nan.
He couldn't help but smile.
After answering the phone, there was a burst of laughter like silver bells.
"Hahaha! It's been a long time since I've seen you at the same table. Do you miss me? As the ancients said, between good friends, one day is like three autumns. We haven't seen each other for half a year."
I answered helplessly.
"Don't we chat on QQ every now and then? It's been a long time since we last met. Nowadays, technology has advanced and Internet communication technology has become so advanced. It's not like in ancient times or when I was a child."
"That doesn't matter! Huh, I'm talking about real meeting. Is it the same as chatting on QQ? By the way, New Year's Day is coming soon. I'm going to come to Shanghai to hang out with you."
