Chapter 589 Master, there is a big island breathing fire!
Li Xuan ignored these little bastards and continued: "Although you stand on the earth and look towards the sky and see that the sun is as big as the moon, that is because the sun is very far away from the earth.
The moon is very close to the earth compared to the sun!"
"The reason why we follow the coastline further north and east is because the earth we are on is rotating around the sun.
At the same time, the earth is also rotating on its own, so the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
And as we keep walking eastward, the sun will naturally rise earlier and earlier, and set faster and faster..."
"The earth is divided into northern and southern hemispheres. Our country is in the middle of the southern hemisphere. The further north you go, the colder it gets. There can be ice cover there all year round, or it can be daytime all day long without night..."
Following Li Xuan's words, Cheng Chusi, Yuchi Baolin and others did not realize that they had slowly sat on the ground and looked at Li Xuan with their eyes wide open and their faces blank.
What Li Xuan said was completely contrary to the knowledge in the books they had read since childhood!
However, according to what Li Xuan said, the more they thought about it, the more reasonable they felt.
It seems that what Li Xuan said is correct.
However, the books they read were all words of sages!
Along the way, Li Baoding, Wang Xuance, Li Chengqian and others seemed to have found a new goal in life. They surrounded Li Xuan all day long and listened to Li Xuan's explanation of astronomical knowledge.
At the same time, he also asked questions and recorded them in some books.
Fortunately, when they came, they knew that the journey would be long and would take more than a year.
I also brought two large boxes of books and pens and ink.
As a result, the rest of the road was no longer boring for these people.
And Li Xuan, when he was bored, could tell these little bastards some knowledge that he had never told the people of the Tang Dynasty, which could be regarded as a way to relieve his boredom and vent his anger.
in this way.
Two months later, they finally left the Japanese island and entered a narrow island belt.
"Master, why are these islands so small? Moreover, they are arranged so densely?"
Sitting on the bow of the boat, Wang Xuance asked with curiosity on his face.
"how could I know!"
Li Xuan said angrily.
Hearing this, Wang Xuance, Li Baoding and others were not afraid and all laughed.
For two months in a row, they were sailing in the sea, and they could only rely on Li Xuan to tell them about astronomy and the stars in the sky to relieve their boredom.
At the same time, in order to prevent the crew and soldiers from going crazy from boredom, Li Xuan asked Cheng Chusi, Wang Xuance and others to go to the ships behind him to tell stories to the crew and soldiers every few days.
Anyway, along the way, the crew enlightenment class started.
With learning goals in mind, the soldiers and crew members are full of motivation and no longer feel bored.
"Um?"
Suddenly, not even a few days later, Li Baoding, Cheng Chusi and others hurriedly found Li Xuan again, their faces full of panic.
"What happened?"
Seeing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but be shocked.
"Master, there is a big island ahead that is spewing fire!"
Cheng Chusi shouted.
"Fire-breathing?"
Li Xuan was startled, quickly stood up, picked up the clairvoyance, and looked into the distance.
Sure enough, not far away, there was a small island shooting out fiery red magma and falling into the nearby sea, emitting a large amount of white smoke.
After a while, the area was filled with smoke.
"No problem, pass on the order, this is just a volcanic eruption, don't make a fuss!"
Li Xuan said.
"yes!"
Xue Rengui hurriedly passed down the order. As the order was passed down, the officers and crew members on the several large ships behind gradually regained their composure.
Along the way, Li Xuan completely became the backbone of these soldiers and crew members. As long as Li Xuan said it was nothing serious, these people could quickly calm down.
However, all the soldiers and crew members were still looking at the island in the distance that kept spitting fire, with astonishment on their faces.
Not only have they never seen an island that can spit fire, they have never even heard of it.
"Master, what is a volcanic eruption? Is it possible that these islands are all volcanoes? But there are no fires on these islands!"
Cheng Chusi asked with curiosity on his face.
"It's because there is a puddle of fire water wrapped inside these islands. You can think of it as a bun. These islands are the skin of the bun, and the inside is a pile of fire water filling. When there is too much fire water inside, or there is
A force squeezed inside, and the fire water spurted out..."
Li Xuan explained patiently.
"Master, are there fire and water in these islands?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others could not help but widen their eyes with surprise on their faces.
"Without fire water, how did the fire water in these islands spurt out?"
Li Xuan said helplessly.
"hey-hey……"
Cheng Chusi, who asked the question, also knew that he had asked a particularly stupid question and had a sneer on his face.
Then, everyone raised their clairvoyance and looked at it in a daze.
On the side, Xue Rengui silently wrote down what Li Xuan said, then walked quickly and spread Li Xuan's explanation to the entire fleet again.
More than two thousand soldiers and sailors suddenly realized and were no longer afraid.
His Highness Prince Jin is really powerful, even if the volcano has fire and water in its belly!
However, in the next few days, the panic among Cheng Chusi, Li Chengqian and others did not stop.
Soon, even if they were sitting on the boat, they could feel the sea water surging.
Large waves hit the ship one after another, frightening all the crew members and soldiers, who turned pale.
They could even see that the islands on the left side of their fleet were shaking.
The rocks on the island roll down into the sea from time to time, and there are several islands that are also erupting with red fire water...
A bad omen!
"Master, the Poseidon here is angry. Is it because they don't welcome me?"
Cheng Chusi, this bastard, started to get confused again, and came to Li Xuan with a look of horror on his face.
And all the crew members and soldiers on the entire fleet had faces full of fear.
Many crew members even knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the sea and begged for mercy!
Seeing this, Li Xuan took a long breath and said:
"Where is the Poseidon? This is an earthquake. Is it possible that you haven't seen any historical records?"
Seeing Li Xuan's expression, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, his face soon became full of doubts.
"What is an earthquake?"
"That is, the earth dragon turns over!"
Li Xuan explained.
"It turned out to be an earth dragon turning over?"
At this time, Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi all looked surprised. They quickly raised their clairvoyances again and looked at the small islands in the distance.
They have also seen records in books. In the pre-Sui period, there seemed to be six earth dragons turning over. The earth's veins trembled, the ground cracked and collapsed. Many cattle, sheep, people, and houses fell into the cracks in the ground and were swallowed by the earth dragon!
Unexpectedly, they would be able to watch the earth dragon turn over at such a close distance in their lifetime.
Behind a few people, Xue Rengui silently said these words again and came to the stern of the ship.
He raised the huge iron horn at the stern of the ship and began to explain to the fleet behind him.
This time, the impact of the earthquake was too great. Xue Rengui explained for a long time before the crew and soldiers slowly recovered.
However, everyone still looked nervous and looked around cautiously.
