Hearing Kong Ming ask what kind of problem was troubling him, a look of confusion immediately appeared on the black figure's face, and then he slowly said: "Tell me, which came first in the world, the chicken or the chicken?" Where are the eggs?”
Kong Ming was naturally stunned when he heard the black figure raise this question. Because the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg, has existed for a long time since ancient times, and many sages have their own unique views on this issue.
Whether you look at this question from the evolutionary perspective of the origin of all things, or look at this question from a speculative philosophical perspective, you can each come up with different answers, and each answer sounds reasonable, but in the end it is correct. What the answer is, no one has ever been able to come to a conclusion.
According to Kong Ming's personal understanding, he believed that all things have a beginning and an end, whether it is Yin and Yin, life and death, day and night... they can form a cycle of their own, and this is also consistent with the supreme heavenly way that all things originate from chaos!
In Kong Ming's opinion, the problem of chicken and egg can also form a cycle in heaven. Whether the chicken or the egg comes first, they are all within the same cycle, so there is no question of who comes first and who comes last. . The chicken can come first and the egg can come first, and the egg can come first!
However, Kong Ming has his own understanding of this question, but whether this answer meets the requirements of the black figure is completely uncertain. After all, Kong Ming has no idea what kind of path the black figure is practicing, and the way of chaos that suits Kong Ming himself is not necessarily suitable for the black figure.
So Kong Ming raised his hands to the black figure and said: "This problem that troubles the senior is indeed very special. I wonder what kind of understanding the senior has after thinking about it for so long? Can you tell me so that the juniors and others can take a closer look? Woolen cloth?"
The black figure sighed and said: "Speaking of this problem, it really gives me a headache. To say that the egg comes first, but the chicken hatches from the egg, how can the chicken come first? But it can be said that the chicken comes first. The egg comes first, but the egg is laid by the chicken, so it doesn’t make sense that the egg comes first. It really gives me a headache, a headache!"
The black figure shook his head repeatedly as he spoke, and the confused look on his face became more obvious.
Kong Ming looked at the black figure quite speechlessly, because when the black figure was thinking about this chicken and egg problem, he obviously fell into a strange circle of thinking and did not analyze or think about this problem in essence. This made the black figure feel like it was stuck on the tip of a bull's horn, and it was impossible to get out of the vicious circle.
This situation is quite similar to some brain teasers in later generations. Once you get into it, it is not so easy to figure it out again. And it can be seen that the black figure is used to a single-minded way of thinking. Once he enters the horny mode, there is no way he can get out.
Looking at the pair of horns growing on the black figure's head, Kong Ming could only helplessly shake his head. However, since the black figure is not thinking about the problem in his own way, it becomes very easy to help him answer the chicken-egg-first problem.
As long as you help the black figure to get rid of the thought that has got into trouble, you can easily answer this question.
Therefore, Kong Ming nodded repeatedly and said: "This problem is really a headache, but I still have my own thoughts on this issue. I wonder if I should talk about it seriously?"
The black figure patted his head and said: "If you have any ideas, just tell me. Maybe it can inspire me? After thinking about it for so many years, I can't solve this problem. The more I think about it, the more I think about it. The headache is getting worse!"
It seems that after the black figure has been troubled by this problem for more than a million years, his expression really changes when talking about this problem, and he wishes someone could help him use his brain.
Discussing the question of chicken and egg from a philosophical perspective with the black figure, it is difficult for Kong Ming to give him a correct answer. However, it is not difficult for Kong Ming to help the black figure get out of this difficult problem.
Kong Ming smiled and said to the black figure: "Senior, actually, regarding the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg, I have a little bit of a foolish opinion. Just imagine, everyone talks about eggs, and no one has ever said eggs. Chicken. In this case, the chicken must come first and the egg comes last. I wonder if seniors think so?"
After hearing the words, the black figure was stunned, as if he had suddenly turned into a clay wood sculpture, and the expression on his face changed very wonderfully. It was obvious that there was a huge wave in his mind, and the whole person was stunned. The whole of my mind has been moved by the question of which comes first, the chicken or the egg, and I no longer have any other consciousness.
After a moment, the black figure murmured to himself: "Eggs? Laying hens??! Why didn't I think of this? Since everyone is talking about eggs, but no one is talking about laying hens, then naturally the chicken comes first , the egg is behind! Alas, I never thought that such a simple question has troubled me for more than a million years. Looking back, it really makes me feel like a big dream!"
Having said this, the black figure looked at Kong Ming and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your reminder, which has solved this problem that has troubled me for many years. I don't know if you, fellow Taoist, need my help for anything? As long as it's in Within the scope of my ability, I will definitely help!"
Although I don’t know the origin of the black figure, he has the cultivation of the peak Emperor level and is an old monster who has lived for more than a million years. If he really needs help, Kong Ming and others don’t have to worry about being in the Temple of the Emperor. What risks did you encounter
As for the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg, Kong Ming just played a word game similar to a brain teaser with the black figure and solved this problem. Although it seemed like child's play, it actually helped the black figure solve the problem, so it was natural to get his promise to help.
Since this black figure had been in contact with Emperor Taiyi, Kong Ming naturally wanted to ask him for information related to Emperor Taiyi in the past, so he cupped his hands towards the black figure and said: "This junior just said it casually, and it's not really a big deal. I have helped my senior so much, but I really don’t dare to take advantage of my senior’s authority at will. However, I would like to know what happened to the human cultivator who asked this question to my senior in the past.”
The black figure showed an expression of trying his best to remember, and then slowly said: "For so many years, I have been thinking about the same problem, and there are really not many things that I can remember in my mind. However, about Taiyi, a human being I still remember the things about cultivators very clearly, after all, the question of which comes first, the chicken or the egg, was thrown to me by him."
"To put it into perspective, I have dealt with this guy Taiyi twice... Once was a long, long time ago. That was the first time I met Taiyi. At that time, he barged in front of me, and he was just A young man who has just been crowned emperor not long ago. And I am responsible for guarding this passage. Only if he defeats me or his demonstrated fighting power can be recognized by me, will I let him pass here."
"This guy Taiyi is indeed not simple. Even though he has only been crowned emperor for a short time, the strength he has shown is enough to compete with me. Naturally, he has passed through this passage that I am guarding. He can only pass me." Only after completing this level can we enter the real core of the Fengshen Temple."
"After passing this level, Taiyi really made a lot of noise in the Fengshen Temple. After getting a great opportunity, he left the Fengshen Temple. It can be said that I guard the Fengshen Temple. After so many years in the temple, Taiyi is so powerful that he can be ranked in the top three, and his talent is even more amazing, enough to be called the number one cultivator I have ever seen!"
Having said this, the black figure paused and said, "After meeting you, I have changed my view. Your talent should be even higher than that of Taiyi!"
At this time, Kong Ming naturally had to be humble, and he quickly raised his hands and said: "Senior, you are so complimentary. I am just a latecomer, and I am really not qualified to compete with the seniors."
The black figure smiled and did not argue with Kong Ming on this issue, but continued to think about the past.
"I know that Taiyi got a great opportunity and left his name on the Jade Palace of the Gods. I originally thought that he would eventually become a legend of the era, transcend the shackles of the world in this world, and be promoted to the immortal. A true god-level existence. But unfortunately, after a long period of time, probably more than a million years ago, Taiyi, this guy, once again appeared in the Fengshen Temple."
"With Yitai Yi's state of cultivation at that time, he no longer needed to enter the Fengshen Temple to seek opportunities, but he still came. And I can see that his condition is not very good. However, even if he is not in good condition, He, with his strength at that time, is not something that I can compete with. But I am responsible for guarding this passage. Any cultivator who passes through here can only pass through this after passing my test. ."
"But what I didn't expect is that this time Taiyi did not intend to fight with me. He just asked me a question of which came first, the chicken or the egg. As a result, I fell into this without knowing it. In the midst of the problem, millions of years have actually passed like this. During this period, there may be other cultivators who have been here, but they were all expelled by me unknowingly, and I really can’t remember them. So much."
"Only when you, a junior, appeared in front of me, did we finally solve the problem that has troubled me for many years. And now you have passed the test of this level."
