Chapter 55: The Sky is Round, the Myth (Three Watches, Xie Mengzhu!) )

"The world? Are you talking about a holistic view of the world? ”

Li Zijin asked with a smile.

At this time, she talked eloquently, like a knowledgeable wise man, calmly answering other people's questions.

Although she is just a scumbag in modern times, the liberal arts are a mess, and the sciences are not much better, but after all, she has been exposed to modern society, and she thinks that she can kill the ancients in some common sense issues.

It's not that the ancients weren't smart.

The ancients had limited transportation capacity, inconvenient information circulation, and it was difficult to see the whole picture of the world, so thinking was often limited by vision.

"Yes, yes, as far as we know, this world is boundless, there are countless kingdoms, do you know the shape of this world?"

Bai Ze asked.

The corners of Li Zijin's mouth curled: "Of course I know, our people there have spent many years in flying tools, and have explored the end of the world, and finally come to an amazing conclusion...... The sky is round. ”

"The sky is round?!"

Bai Ze was really shocked, he had always thought that this world was also a sphere like the earth, how could it be different.

"Yes, we found that the sky is actually a huge circle with a slight arc, like a bowl held upside down, and the earth is an irregular square with four sides, south, east, west, and west." Li Zijin said.

"Of course, it's also possible that the whole world isn't."

Li Zijin paused and said, "The shape we have discovered now is actually only the range we can explore, because after our flying tool flies to a certain altitude, it can no longer fly. And in the four directions of southeast, west, and west, after flying to a certain limit, it is impossible to continue to move forward, and it seems to be blocked by a mysterious force...... Therefore, we regard the limit of what we can reach as the end of the earth, that is, the edge of this world. ”

"If you can't reach the flying tools, can you explore it on horseback or by boat?" Bai Ze asked.

Li Zijin shook his head: "No, there is an endless Daze in the east and west, and there are Nanming Sea and North Styx Sea in the north and south, the more you go to the end of the world, the bigger the waves, any ship will be smashed, and no one can get close." ”

Bai Ze thought for a moment and asked again: "If the world is square, then how can the sunrise and sunset be explained?" The sun had already sunset in the western Osawa area, so why did it rise from the eastern Osawa the next day? ”

Li Zijin looked at Bai Ze with some surprise: "Ah, Master Mo, the first time you heard the saying that the sky is round and the place is round, you can think of the rising and setting of the sun, it's really amazing!" ”

"It's overrated." Bai Ze smiled modestly.

Li Zijin thought for a while and said, "Actually, our kingdom has also studied the rise and setting of the sun for many years, and in the end, we have come to an amazing conclusion. ”

"What conclusion?"

Bai Ze and the three of them all held their breath, and even Bai Yu and Zou Yan had to admit that there was something about this mysterious girl.

Li Zijin drank two mouthfuls of noodle soup and sold it for a while, before squinting and saying, "This sun...... Maybe it's not just one. ”

"What?!"

Zou Yan and Bai Yu's eyes widened.

And Bai Ze is relatively calm, as a traverser, and in the world of mythology, you can accept that the sun is a group of golden crows.

Li Zijin continued: "Yes, according to our long-term astronomical observations, the sun that rises every day of the year is different, and there are subtle differences, but it is too far away and too dazzling for ordinary people to see. ”

"According to our summary, the same sun, every three hundred and sixty-six days, will reappear, plus one day of darkness, so we guess that there is a high probability that there are three hundred and sixty-five suns in this world, taking turns to be on duty."

Bai Ze pondered for a moment and asked, "There is only one sun in the sky every day, so where does the rest of the sun go?" ”

Li Zijin said: "This is not too clear, some people say that they went around in a circle from under West Daze and returned to East Daze, and some people say that in fact, they went to shine on other worlds." ”

"There are many people who support the second view, and the mainstream view today is that maybe there are other worlds outside of our world, a total of three hundred and sixty-five worlds, on the same huge ring, and three hundred and sixty-five suns circulate around this ring."

"Three hundred and sixty-five worlds?!"

Zou Yan and Bai Yu couldn't help but scream, this had too much impact on their worldview.

They became more and more suspicious of where this Miss Li came from and why she had so many novel ideas.

"Oh, no, according to some mythology, there may have been three hundred and sixty-six suns! However, one disappeared later, which led to the subsequent day of the year when there was no sun at all, which was called the Dark Day. ”

Li Zijin seemed to suddenly remember something and said.

"What myth?"

Bai Ze mentioned the spirit, and the things about the mythological realm were what he wanted to know the most.

"In fact, there are two myths, one is called Bai Ze and the other is Kunpeng Swallowing the Sun."

Li Zijin said: "Now some archaeologists believe that the sun that Bai Ze chased and the sun that Kunpeng swallowed were actually the same sun, in short, that sun was finally swallowed by Kunpeng in the North Stygian Sea. ”

"In fact, there is another mythical story that happened later, called the Northern Hellfire Heavenly Fire."

"It is said that many years later, a divine fire descended from the sky in the North Styx Sea and burned the Kunpeng that swallowed the sun to death, and the fire illuminated half of the North Styx Sea."

"However, scholars believe that it was not a divine fire from the sky, perhaps because Kunpeng swallowed the sun, failed to digest it, and was finally burned to death by the sun's energy."

Bai Ze thought for a while and asked, "Then why did Bai Ze chase that sun?" ”

"Uh...... This, I know relatively limited, it seems that the sun brought disaster to the world, it is said that at that time, corpses were everywhere, rivers of blood flowed, and all people were grieving. ”

Li Zijin wanted to say more, but the scum attribute limited her play, and she only knew so much.

And Bai Ze thought about it, and then asked pretendedly: "There is a Kun in the Northern Underworld, I have heard of this, but the Bai Ze you are talking about, is it the one we know?" ”

Li Zijin laughed: "It's the one in "The Biography of Bai Ze", you should have seen "The Biography of Bai Ze", it is one of the masterpieces of Wensheng Teng Qingqing in ancient times, and it has a wide range of dissemination. ”

"Hehe, I've seen it."

Zou Yan and Bai Yu hurriedly followed, and when they heard it now, they seemed to realize something-this person seemed to be a person from the next generation!!

This was too great a spiritual impact on them, and they never thought that future generations would appear in their time.

Can we still turn back time?

It's unheard of!

"Sir, I'm in a hurry, so I'll go out first." Zou Yan endured the turmoil in his heart and ran out of the room.

"Sir, so am I!"

The same was true for Bai Yu, who quickly rushed out of the room, trying to find a place to calm down.

Both of them are afraid that if they lose their temper, they will ruin the master's big things.

They can see that the old man is playing the words of this stupid child in the future, and these words are of great value.

Although most of the myths and legends mentioned by the other party have been distorted by history and are not necessarily the truth of the past, at least some of them have reference significance, which can grasp the general trend of historical development to a certain extent and follow the trend.

The trend of the world is mighty, those who go with it prosper, and those who go against it die!

……

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

Li Zijin has been living in a private school, she has a strong personality, and she doesn't want to eat idle meals, so she also helps with some chores.

Moreover, she silently held back a breath of energy in her heart - I, a modern person, wanted to be prosperous in ancient times, isn't it a joke?

So, she started making paper.

She tried many times to follow the basic paper-making steps that were circulated on the Internet in later generations, and finally ...... Fail!

It turns out that knowing and doing are two different things, not to mention, every line is broad and profound, and those real essences will not be told to you.

She prepares the wine again, and then ...... Fail.

She was about to purify the coarse salt and make it into fine salt to sell, but Bai Ze warned her...... Selling illicit salt is to kill the head!

As a result, her plan to get rich was aborted again.

If it doesn't work in business, then let's follow the text, so she was ready to be a copyist, she copied a few poems to Bai Ze, hoping that Bai Ze would help her publicize it.

However, Bai Ze asked a few allusions in the poems, as well as some basic common sense about the poems, which directly made her speechless.

Then, Bai Ze told her again, literati are not stupid, whether you have literary literacy or not, people can see from the conversation, a few words of temptation can make you reveal your true form, and plagiarism...... It's going to be in prison!

At this point, this scumbag girl from later generations who wants to conquer ancient times by relying on her cleverness has been completely awakened by the cruel reality.

She finally understood that the ancients were really not fools, and a person who had no real talent and real learning could not get along in any era.

"Boom!"

"Please sir teach me!"

Eventually, she fell to her knees with teary eyes in her eyes and begged to bow down to Bai Ze's door.
