Chapter 4: Harmony between Heaven and Man
Fang Yi was immersed in the observer state and found it very magical.
He was about to learn a little more.
Suddenly, a feeling of "trying hard" came.
Fang Yi could feel that it was not because he had no "strength", but due to external reasons, just like running out of gasoline while driving.
He was forced to stop this state, and his thoughts receded like a tide.
The sun, moon, and stars before my eyes shattered, leaving only endless nothingness.
And a "net" of strange shapes filled with countless particles.
This "net" extends countless "tentacles" to touch nothingness.
But every particle on it looks very dim, as if it has run out of energy.
And his golden elixir, like a dewdrop, was suspended in the middle of the net.
What's going on?
Fang Yi was shocked and confused.
He tried to touch the net-like object in front of him with his mind again, but found that it was integrated into it, but he could no longer observe it.
Instead, I received some information.
All information about this temple from its founding to the present day.
For example...how Wong Tai Sin was "born" and how he "appeared" miraculously.
After learning this information, Fang Yi couldn't help but marvel at the magic of the Creator's "supercomputer".
Faith, it is the energy of faith that accumulates over time and creates a "magnetic field", which shapes the image of Wong Tai Sin and gives him the special ability to communicate like a "supercomputer".
Many people may not understand why faith, which is just a thought, can generate energy and build a magnetic field.
However, after learning about the origin and macroscopic operation of the universe, Fang Yi roughly understood why faith can generate energy.
Let's use a simple example instead, the double-slit experiment.
What is the double slit experiment?
To put it simply, the double-slit experiment is that when humans observe light normally through a slit, they see it in a particle state, but when it is not observed, the light is in the form of a wave.
Quantum physicists explain it this way: "An electron is both a particle and a wave. It has the dual nature of wave and particle. However, at any moment, an electron cannot be both a particle and a wave. It can only be one of them. Whether it is a particle or a wave depends on whether someone is observing it. When no one is observing it, it is a wave. Once someone is observing it, it becomes a particle."
This is an idealistic explanation no matter how you look at it.
However, now Fang Yi has a new explanation for this. When humans observe light, they generate energy, which affects the specific form of light. This energy is very small, so small that it is almost impossible to detect, but it is enough to change the form of light.
Observation can generate energy, let alone a strong belief?
Brain waves themselves are a kind of external energy radiation generated by the physiological activities of the brain. Naturally, when the same kind of external energy radiation increases, it will construct a "magnetic field".
It can’t be said to be a magnetic field, but it is a very special energy field.
A special energy field that can integrate and communicate with the universe, this supercomputer.
Fang Yi calls this state "harmony between man and nature."
Now most of the energy supporting this "magnetic field" has been consumed and it can only barely maintain its form, so Fang Yi was forced to end his observation.
"The energy accumulated by the statue over hundreds of years has been used up. If you want to enter this state again, you need to accumulate hundreds of years more."
Fang Yi felt very sorry.
At the same time, he also understood from this network of energy field why he suddenly gained a large amount of energy to cultivate the golden elixir, and why the statue wanted to take away his golden elixir.
Although the statue has no independent consciousness, its special energy field can communicate people's sincere prayers, thereby fulfilling the wishes of the petitioner within a limited range.
Lao Miao has been dreaming about his impending death recently, so he keeps praying to the immortal, hoping to live longer.
This wish to transcend life and death was so strong and devout that the energy field of the statue was forced to "activate" in an attempt to "extend the life" of Lao Miao.
Maybe this is what is so touching.
Maybe Lao Miao was so pious that he could communicate with the will of this world, so he gave instructions to the statue to help Lao Miao prolong his life.
Of course, this is just Fang Yi's guess, and it's hard to say whether it's true or not.
Birth, aging, sickness and death are the normal course of human life. Under normal circumstances, even a statue with a special energy field cannot do this.
But the "Golden Elixir" can.
While Fang Yi was in a state of cultivation, the statue sensed that it was possible to condense a golden elixir, so it guided him to absorb more energy from the outside world, thereby condensing a golden elixir. Finally, it was taken back and stored inside the statue, ready to wait for the next time to receive Lao Miao's sincere prayers, and then build an energy transmission bridge to send the golden elixir into Lao Miao's body to achieve the purpose of prolonging his life.
"This old Miao has done me a lot of harm. Just because he often dreams of dying, he almost caused the golden elixir that I cultivated with great difficulty to be taken away. Fortunately, he was sleeping just now and did not make a pious prayer, otherwise the golden elixir would not belong to me now."
Fang Yi felt a little scared, fortunately he arrived in time.
But he changed his mind and realized that if it were not for Lao Miao's sincere prayers, the statue would not have helped him condense the golden elixir.
So, it would take him an unknown amount of time to cultivate the golden elixir.
You can say that it was a blessing in disguise.
But there is no need to worry now. The statue has just exhausted the huge energy accumulated over hundreds of years and can no longer perform its previous feat.
Fang Yi was not in a hurry to send the golden elixir back into his body, but continued to think.
"Oh, by the way, if I don't use the statue, can I also enter the state of unity between man and nature?"
He tried to let his thoughts communicate with the universe, but unfortunately failed.
"It doesn't make sense. The statue is just a dead object, but I can use it to communicate with the universe. Why can't I communicate with the universe when I have self-awareness?"
Fang Yi felt that there must be some trick that he had not grasped.
He remembered that he had just integrated his thoughts into the energy field of the statue, and then he observed the universe.
Is it because of energy building?
Just like a computer program, a certain program must be set up before it can produce a specific effect?
Fang Yi's "gaze" fell on the mesh structure that formed the energy field of the statue in front of him. "If I can form my own energy field into this structure, can I communicate with the universe again?"
Give it a try.
He immersed his mind into the network energy field, and then "scanned" the specific structure of the network energy field in front of him, the arrangement order of each particle, and the specific position of each particle.
A total of more than 540 billion particles of the three types are needed, including more than 120 billion galaxy-shaped particles, more than 210 billion point-shaped particles, and 200 billion small round bead particles.
Although the number is huge, it would be impossible to count them all even if one spends a lifetime on it.
But Fang Yi's mind was beyond his physical body, and he actually copied the order and position in an instant.
When I am in a state of detached thinking, I seem to be able to remember everything I see.
Fang Yi roughly knew what to do.
He tried to control his thoughts to simulate the arrangement of different particles to form a similar energy field.
It’s just that there were too many particles to simulate, and as expected, it failed the first time.
Continue for the second time!
Unfortunately, it still failed.
Five times!
One hundred times!
Two thousand times!
Even Fang Yi didn't know how long he had been inside the statue.
Anyway, he had stumbled and failed at least millions of times.
But as he continued to try, Fang Yi became more and more proficient.
Gradually, the models he built became more and more complete.
Finally, at about the 9.6 millionth time, the energy field of the statue was simulated!
"Success! I really built it successfully! Haha!"
Fang Yi was overjoyed, but he had not yet entered the observation state.
He understood why.
Because now we have only built a model and need to inject energy before we can start it.
"I remember that I entered the observation state only after I immersed my mind into the energy field. Now, my mind has not yet immersed itself into the constructed energy field, and I haven't provided energy to the model, so I can't enter that state."
Fang Yi tried to immerse his thoughts in it, but it didn't work.
"Hey, why not?"
He boldly guessed, could it be because he had no energy?
Fang Yi set his sights on the golden elixir, trying to stimulate it to release energy.
When the power of the golden elixir is infused into the mind, which the ancients called the soul, the statue model is activated.
Sure enough, the next moment he felt the same magical feeling again.
In a flash, the universe filled with the sun, moon, stars and particles returned to its original state!
Fang Yi was extremely delighted and immediately prepared to observe it carefully again.
But the next second, he felt the "try his best" coming again.
Unlike before, this time he felt his "mind" was extremely tired.
He even had a feeling that if he insisted on holding on, his "golden elixir" would be sucked dry.
In desperation, Fang Yi had to stop observing.
The constructed energy field model is still there.
Because he will not absorb the golden elixir's energy if he does not actively activate it, he is safe and sound now.
"It seems that the energy I have accumulated in three years of practice is far less than what the statue has accumulated in hundreds of years, so I couldn't hold on for a moment after entering the observation state. According to this reasoning, as long as the energy of my 'golden elixir' is strong enough, I can enter the observation state at any time."
Fang Yi understood, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart. As long as he was strong enough, he would be able to observe the operation of the universe at all times.
If he observes for a long time, he will definitely be able to replicate and simulate the energy field that constructs the universe like he did today.
One day he might even be able to... create the world!
Then you will be the creator!
"This day may be far away, but at least I know what the ultimate goal of practice is."
Fang Yi instinctively wanted to let out a long sigh of relief, but his mental state was simply not allowing him to do so.
"Oh right, since I can simulate and construct the energy field of the statue to enter the state of unity between man and nature, then can I also construct the energy field composed of earth, wind, water and fire, and achieve the supernatural powers in mythology such as calling the wind and rain, controlling fire and attracting lightning? Or even... moving stars and changing constellations?"
If this is really possible, then I would be no different from the immortals in myths and legends!
Fang Yi felt that he could give it a try, but not now. After all, he had almost exhausted his energy when he entered the state of "harmony between man and nature" just now. Now he needed to recover and send the golden elixir back into his body first.
