Chapter 124 (1/2)
However, Fang Yun deliberately wrote half of it, hesitated, and determined that the delay was long enough. The old man no longer appeared before he finished writing the final result.
The first Pavilion of the second mountain passed, Fang Yun accepted the baptism of the holy light for the fourth time, and then stepped into the second Pavilion of the second mountain.
The word geography is written on the plaque of this pavilion.
Fang Yun suddenly found himself in a very familiar place.
The river outside Jixian County!
Fang Yun immediately became vigilant. Although he often said that he thought by the river, he actually said that when he had to, because Fang Yun used to like to be in a daze by the river. If Fang Yun said that he had read widely before, he would be exposed.
Fang Yun stood by the river and waited quietly.
The old man appeared aside again and asked, ”the second Pavilion tests geography. Since you often think on this river bank, you must find that the water on the north bank is shallower than that on the south bank, right?”
Fang Yun vaguely understood what the old man wanted to test, and immediately said, ”indeed, I've already found out.”
”Then do you know why?”
Fang Yun thought and said, ”I was just curious and didn't think about it before. Is this the exam question for this book mountain?”
”Yes.”
Fang Yun said slowly, ”there is no wind here, the terrain on both sides is very flat, and the water flow will not choose the depth. Then, it is only possible that the land where the water flow is located will form a force, which makes the water flow on the south bank urgent and can wash away more sediment, so the water depth on the south bank; while the water flow on the north bank is slow and can not wash away sediment, so the sediment slowly accumulates and becomes shallow.”
”How can you think of it?” the old man said.
”In fact, semi saints have long proposed that the Shengyuan continent under our feet is rotating. Since it rotates, it will naturally drive everything on the earth, and there is a basis for the river to be deep and shallow.” Fang Yun said in his heart that it is ”earth deflection force”.
”Oh? Isn't it a waste of time to think about this every day?”
Fang Yun said: ”the old man's words are bad. I have observed some Ju Ren's gale songs and found that many Ju Ren's way of controlling songs is wrong. I'm afraid it is related to the strange power of the earth, the same as the power driving the river shallow in the north and deep in the south.”
”Tell me.”
”Gale song will form tornadoes, but some people's tornadoes turn along the shadow of the sun, while others turn against the shadow of the sun. Obviously, the strength of the two people is not different, but the power of the latter is at least 10%. I didn't know it at that time, but now inspired by my husband, I understand. If people use gale song in the future, they only turn in the latter way, then ”Gale song” is even more powerful. ”
Sun shadow hour measuring is a part of the sundial. It is a method used by Shengyuan to calculate time with a needle and scale according to the shadow of the sun. It is similar to clocks and watches.
”Oh? This is unheard of. Let's write it down for the moment. If it's true as you said, you'll be more credited.”
”You're welcome, sir. I'm just guessing.”
The old man asked, ”the people of ten countries have accepted that Shengyuan is a big ball. What's your opinion?”
”Shengyuan is a big ball.”
”What proof do you have?”
”This is the test question?”
”Of course.”
”Let me see. As we all know, does it prove that Lord Li Daoyuan walked in one direction and finally returned to his original place?”
”Four more answers are needed.”
”Four?”
”Yes or no.”
”Answer.” Fang Yunke asked for a while before answering, ”have you seen a lunar eclipse?”
”Naturally.”
”The sage said that when Shengyuan continent is between the sun and the moon, it blocks the light of the sun, so it will leave a shadow on the moon. But I found that the shadow is an arc, which can show that Shengyuan continent is a ball.”
”Third?”
”After those ships go to sea, they often disappear gradually, and when they come back, the highest mast always comes out first, followed by the hull. This just shows that Shengyuan is round.”
”Fourth.”
”If the Shengyuan continent is flat, we can see a very far place when we look at it, but it's a pity that we can only see further distance when we climb high.”
”Fifth.”
”Looking at the sea level, you will find that the sea level is actually an arc, not a straight line. Am I right?”
The old man nodded and said, ”let me test the customs of the demon world.”
Fang Yun nodded and answered the old man's questions.
We were more careful before the party's shipment, and deliberately slowed down a lot. All three questions were answered completely.
