Text Chapter 3 The Complete Map of the World

After saying that, Zhao Ziming turned over and bowed down again, and respectfully bowed three times.

"When did the family teacher say that he would accept this surnamed Zhao as an apprentice, why didn't I hear it." The inexplicable Sun Yuanhua and the embarrassed Tang Ruowang secretly glanced at each other, and scolded Zhao Ziming Tian in their hearts at the same time.

Xu Guangqi was even more dumbfounded, and said in his heart: "Originally, I came to find John Tang today to get corn, peppers and other crop seeds, why do you want to accept an apprentice without knowing it." ”

Xu Guangqi hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Zhao Ziming and said: "The parishioners can't help it, please hurry up, the old man just heard that the parishioners are Nanyang people, and the parishioners may not know that these three kowtows are the rites of apprenticeship, and the parishioners will not be ashamed of the old man when they perform this big gift." ”

Zhao Ziming turned over and bowed down again when he heard this, and said: "Master has been admired for a long time, and today I can see the master, it is the opportunity of the student, the disciple sincerely worships Mr. as a teacher, but I ask the master not to be stingy to accept it under the door, and the disciple should concentrate on the master's knowledge, not to get the master's mantle, but to be able to learn the master's knowledge is enough to comfort, and I hope the master will be perfect." ”

Xu Guangqi couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, and said in his heart: "Although I, Xu Guangqi, am not a noble lord of the dynasty, but I am also an official residence, although this kid surnamed Zhao has some knowledge, but the origin is unknown, and he is even more flamboyant, how can I be dizzy by what you say in a few words and accept you as an apprentice, if that is the case, it will spread in the future, won't it become a joke in Shilin." So, Xu Guangqi picked up Zhao Ziming again and said: "The parishioners are very knowledgeable, this apprentice is really not daring to be, and it doesn't hurt to be loved by the parishioners and explore some knowledge together." Father Tang, can you borrow a description of your house? ”

When John Tang heard this, he hurriedly said: "John is negligent, please inside, please inside." After saying that, Tang Ruowang led the way, and Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua followed.

Zhao Ziming was closed, and he was inevitably angry in his heart, but he originally planned to be opportunistic, and he became a place to eat mixed rice, and there was no loss if he didn't succeed, so he didn't feel discouraged when he thought about it.

What the? Ashamed, shy, don't be funny, you come to eat porridge for a few days!

Seeing that the three of them had entered the hall, Zhao Ziming hurriedly followed him and walked inside.

The four of them entered the hall and came to a small room, only to see that the room was full of bookshelves, the shelves were full of all kinds of books, and there was a table of eight immortals in the room, and a globe was placed in the table.

Seeing the globe, Zhao Ziming was suddenly stunned: "Nima, isn't it said that the ancient Chinese thought that it was a turtle carrying the earth, why was the Ming Dynasty so advanced." ”

Xu Guangqi and the others couldn't help but be surprised and amused when they saw Zhao Ziming's face pale and his eyes staring at the globe with dull eyes.

Xu Guangqi smiled and asked, "Can the parishioners recognize this thing?" ”

"Lord Xu is talking about this globe?" Zhao Ziming replied casually.

"Oh, the parishioners know that, too. Dare to ask the parishioners who live in Nanyang, can they indicate where they live in this object? Sun Yuanhua next to him saw that Zhao Ziming was really knowledgeable, so he asked.

Hearing this, Zhao Ziming stepped forward to look at the globe carefully, only to see that the map drawn by the globe was very different from what later generations had seen, and the words on it were all letters, but he didn't know a word, so he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

Tang Ruowang saw Zhao Ziming's embarrassment and knew that Zhao Ziming must not know Latin, so he turned around and took out a map from the bookshelf and spread it out on the table of the Eight Immortals.

Zhao Ziming looked fixedly, and saw six big characters written in the upper right corner of the map, "Kunyu Wanguo Quantu". The map is densely written with small letters, and then look closely, but see that the location of "North America" is written as "North Asia Melica", and the location of "South America" is naturally written as "South Asia Melica", and then look at "Asia" and "Europa" This is no different from the name of later generations, but the difference in the graphics is still quite large, and it can be identified in general, as for "Africa", the name marked on the map is "Levia".

Hey, it seems that there is something missing, what is the place of such a large piece of land down here, I don't remember.

Zhao Ziming was a little stupid, and hurriedly lowered his head to look carefully, only to see that on the location of the continent below, there were five big characters written "Mowa Wax Clay Plus", and then looked, there were two vertical lines of small characters "In this southern land, there are few people, and Gu Weiwei has not judged its characters." ”

It turned out to be "Australia" and "Antarctica"! It seems that people in this era don't know these two places, and Zhao Ziming has a plan in his heart.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ziming pointed to the location of "Mowa Wax Clay Plus" on the map and said: "This is where I live in the next life, and it is called Australia in my hometown, I don't know why the terrain is not even marked on this map." ”

Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua and Tang Ruowang were shocked when they heard this, and looked at each other suspiciously.

John Tang asked tightly: "Catholics, this extreme southern place has only been heard to be a wild place, the climate is dry, and the desert is even more inhabited, and I have never heard of any big cities and countries. What's more, no one has ever seen or heard of Australians, so the parishioners should not be joking. ”

Zhao Ziming had the bottom in his heart, and continued to brag: "Father Tang doesn't know, the climate in the north and west of Australia is indeed harsh, but there are also several big cities on the southeast coast of Australia, from north to south, Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne. ”

Hearing Zhao Ziming say this, Tang Ruowang and the three became more and more curious, and Sun Yuanhua couldn't bear it and then asked: "What the parishioners said is really wonderful, I don't know if I can tell you in detail." ”

Zhao Ziming smiled mysteriously and asked John Tang, "Father Tang, I don't know if Atlantis has ever heard of it." ”

"What! What the parishioners are talking about is the continent that the sage Plato has disappeared. Tang Ruowang was a little dizzy, and Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua looked dazed.

"Yes, it is the Lost Continent that Plato's sage wrote." Zhao Ziming opened his mouth. Plato's account is generally true, but the exact location is infallible, and Atlantis was not completely destroyed by earthquakes and floods. In fact, these legends and records and the destruction of Atlantis in the flood occurred in the same period. According to my Australian records, after the flood, Atlantis did suffer heavy casualties, the original more than 80 cities were destroyed, and then the ancestors went through a thousand hardships, and finally reached the southeast coast, which has lasted for 10,000 years. ”

Hearing this, Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua had already realized some eyebrows, and then looked at Tang Ruowang frowning and thinking hard.

Suddenly, Tang Ruowang's eyes lit up and asked: "According to Gongzi, Lingzun and Lingtang are both members of my church, but this Australia does not interact with the outside world, could it be that this Australia also has a place for my religion to preach?" ”

Listening to Tang Ruowang's question, Zhao Ziming was faintly panicked in his heart, if he couldn't pull it on, he couldn't say that he had crossed over, so he wouldn't have to be burned as a monster.

Zhao Ziming forced his composure, his face showed a bamboo in his chest, first greeted the eighteenth generation of Tang Ruowang's ancestors in his heart, and then made up: "Father Tang doesn't know, in the next life in Australia, to the younger generation has gone through four generations, the great-ancestor originally lived in Java, it is also a coincidence, the boat drifted to the other place, this Australia is also quite prosperous, its construction, utensils are my Ming is also difficult to look at, but the Australian sea ban is strict, in case of people who enter by mistake from other countries, they move into the city to give houses, so that they live in the city, in the city of Sydney, There are more than 2,000 Chinese people in China alone, and the place where they live is called Chinatown, and as for the Tessie, Ottomans and even Levians, there are not a few people living in Australia. The Australian court is also quite enlightened, although there are places where all ethnic groups live, but it is also forbidden to intermarry and interact with various ethnic groups, and all kinds of sects are spread at will, there are not only churches, mosques and Buddhist temples in Sydney, Taoist temples, and the father and mother of the family were baptized into Christianity through a priest named Trump, of course, this Trump priest has not been canonized by the Pope, but Australia is remote, unable to communicate with the outside world, and can only be regarded as an expedient measure. As for why Australia does not interact with the outside world, it is a secret of the Australian Imperial Court, which ordinary people cannot know, and it is speculated that it may be related to the spread of prevention technology. ”

When Zhao Ziming said this, he turned to Tang Ruowang with a smile, and said secretly in his heart: "If you have the ability, you foreign monk will go and find out this Australia, even if your Holy See family is powerful enough to send a fleet to find Australia, Lao Tzu's sentence "You are in the wrong place" will make you lose all your efforts. ”
