Immortality, but people in primitive society
Chapter 659 The sky is round and the earth is square!
Hu Santian glared at the man for a while, but eventually the man gave in.
However, they followed Hu Santian and Bai Tian and the other two into the city.
Bai Tian felt it was quite interesting, so he asked while flying, "Hu Santian, is your father a great sect?"
"Yes." Hu Santian's face was full of depression. "But he never raised me, and I've already told everyone that I won't follow him."
Bai Tian was slightly surprised: "Are there many cases of father-son conflicts like this here?"
Hu Santian replied, "Quite a lot. Everyone has their own ideas. I don't agree with many of his ideas, but I don't think he's wrong either. It's just that they always think I should come back to save people."
It sounds like this Buting Kingdom is quite interesting. It's quite common for fathers and sons to fall out with each other, but the key is that after the fallout, it's easy for others to believe it's a real fallout.
Of course, on the other hand, the generation gap seems a bit serious...
Once you enter the city, you can't fly and need to walk.
During the day, the three of them walked leisurely, and three black-faced men were always following behind them.
Butingcheng is actually quite good. After all, Bai Nan did receive some "education" back then.
It was a rather strange phenomenon. According to Hu Santian, the king had just been imprisoned, and a coup had just occurred in the country, so the city should have been heavily guarded. But in reality, it was not. Instead, it was still bustling with traffic.
Bai Tian asked, "Don't you people here really care who the ruler is?"
"No." Hu Santian sighed, "It's just that they all think the Great Sect is right, so they won't make a fuss."
The soldier behind him immediately snorted coldly: "The Great Sect is right! The King is incompetent, and the Great Sect is our hope!"
Hu Santian didn't refute him, but continued to explain to Bai Tian: "The Great Sect has given them more things and a more comfortable life, so they are willing to work for it. As for the King, I don't understand."
"So your dad is pretty awesome." Bai Tian said with a smile.
Hu Santian didn't respond, but his expression was tense.
After walking for a while, a few more people came over. They first said a few words to the soldier behind them, and then they surrounded the three people during the day and continued to walk towards the city.
There were quite a few people watching and talking on the roadside, but no one came over to follow.
Not long after, Bai Tian was taken to a huge mansion.
Surrounded by a group of people, a man came over. He was a middle-aged man in white clothes, tall and strong, but bald.
The top of his head is bald, and the hair around it is quite long. At first glance, it looks like a bowl turned upside down on top of his head...
Seeing the middle-aged man coming over, Hu Santian said in a depressed voice: "He is the Great Sect."
Bai Tianyi twitched and looked at Hu Santian strangely. He could already imagine what Hu Santian would look like in the future with a bald head.
The great master came over, looked at Hu Santian with a frown, and said in a low voice, "Why did you come back to see me?"
This father and son really don't get along!
But they don't seem like the kind of father and son who would kill each other. They acknowledge the father-son relationship, but are very indifferent to each other, even holding resentment.
Bai Tian took a step forward and smiled, "I was the one who came to you. They wanted to rescue someone, so I asked them to bring me here, and then you let them go."
The great teacher looked puzzled: "Who are you?"
Bai Tian had already thought of how to answer, and whispered: "Do you know Bai Nan?"
As expected, the Great Master's pupils suddenly constricted, and he pondered: "You are..."
Bai Tian shrugged slightly: "I am quite familiar with him."
Dajiao understood immediately and opened his mouth to say something, but Bai Tian was already shaking his head: "I came here just to take a look around. Besides, they said you think the place we live in is round, I want to understand that."
When this was mentioned, the great master immediately became alert and said solemnly, "What I said is that the sky is round and the earth is square."
The sky is round and the earth is square?!
Bai Tian was slightly surprised: "Let's go in and talk?"
The great teacher then reacted and hurriedly took Bai Tian in.
Hu Santian and the others felt very strange. They had never heard of Bai Nan, and there was no one with the surname Bai in Bu Ting.
After a while, Bai Tian followed the great master into a large hall.
The great master immediately knelt on one knee: "Haotian lives forever!"
Bai Tian sighed softly and said, "It seems that you, Bu Ting, haven't completely forgotten that history."
"No," the Great Master shook his head, "Buting has long forgotten. I am not only from Buting, but also from Wenxing."
Wenxing?
Bai Tian thought about it carefully for a long time before he remembered the Wenxing tribe. They had even copied Bai Tian's mountain and river map and brought it back.
The Great Master continued, "Wenxing was dispersed many years ago. Some of its people moved here and gradually merged with Buting. However, we have always had records that it was Haotian who bestowed Wenxing civilization and maps."
Bai Tian nodded with a hint of regret: "You learned about my identity through Bai Nan, right?"
"Yes."
Bai Tian sighed softly, "You should get up. I told you that Buting hadn't forgotten. It seems I was overthinking it."
Bai Nan's history is not a good thing for the later rulers. They will definitely try their best to erase all information about Bai Nan...
After the teacher got up, Bai Tian asked again: "I am very interested in what you said just now about the round sky and square earth. Tell me more about it."
The Great Master nodded excitedly. "This is what countless generations of our planet have concluded. The place we live in is actually a huge island floating on the ocean. It has an end, but the ocean has no end. And our sky is like a huge cover, shrouding us above..."
"Haotian, come and take a look. This is the map of the sky and earth that I made."
When I walked into the study at the back during the day, I saw a hemispherical globe with a diameter of one meter.
The bottom is flat, with the sea on the outside and land in the middle. There is a large cover on the top with many star symbols on it.
"This is what I mean by the round sky and square earth. Look at these, as recorded by our Wenxing, the movement of the stars, and the hexagrams of heaven and earth seen in conjunction with the Taichu Bagua..."
"This makes sense. Our sun and stars actually move according to certain laws, the laws of yin and yang. We call this the round sky and square earth."
"The saying 'the sky is round and the earth is square' doesn't just refer to the place we live in; it also represents yin and yang. The round sky is yang, and the square earth is yin..."
"It's just that I can't prove it right now, so I want to take over Buting Kingdom and let everyone start exploring this..."
I was a little dazed when listening to it during the day. This theory is really awesome!
Taking heaven and earth as yin and yang, the sky is round and the earth is square, which is not only a literal meaning, but also represents a philosophical theory!
During the day, he suddenly thought of the Hetu Luoshu created by Fuxi and Dijun, which seemed to resonate with this. Especially in the area of star and hexagram symbols, the degree of coincidence was very high.
Based on the hexagrams of heaven and earth, we explain heaven and earth, and then return to reality: the sky is round and the earth is square...
But if the earth is round and the sky is square, then where is the end of the world?
