As soon as Wang Xu's voice fell, it immediately stirred up a wave of different voices and reactions among the students.
Most of the students present were from the History Department and the Geography Department.
Naturally, there was no one who did not know about the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
As for Buzhou Mountain, similar scenes often appeared in all kinds of mythological TV dramas.
There was also a familiar story from when he was a child-Nüwa mending the sky.
Almost everyone knew.
It was also caused by the collapse of Mount Buzhou!
According to the ancient legends, Gonggong, the Water God of the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery, had a fierce battle with Zhurong, the Fire God.
One of them was in charge of water, while the other was in charge of fire!
Fire and water were incompatible, natural enemies!
The result of the battle was Zhurong defeating Gonggong.
However, Gong Gong, who had failed, was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to destroy everything together with him. He directly crashed into Buzhou Mountain, which was at the end of the West Heaven!
Then, the Buzhou Mountain collapsed, and half of the sky fell down!
Countless scorching lava flames poured into the human world from the depths of the sky. The sky collapsed and the earth cracked!
The mountain forest was burning with an inextinguishable fire, and the flood also gushed out from the ground. However, it could not extinguish the heavenly fire. Instead, it became more and more intense. The entire human race was facing an unprecedented disaster!
At this moment, Goddess Nvywa stepped forward and refined the Five-Colored Divine Stone. Finally, she used her own body to mend the huge hole in the sky, allowing the Human Tribe to continue living on the earth.
Even the children in kindergarten knew the story of Nüwa mending the sky. The Peking University students present naturally knew it well.
However, whether it was Nuwa, Gonggong Zhurong, or Mount Buzhou, they were all things in myths and legends.
How could Buzhou Mountain exist in reality?
In the legends, Buzhou Mountain was as tall as the sky and earth, and it was called the Heavenly Pillar!
But Wang Xu's topic was to find the real Buzhou Mountain?
Isn't this nonsense?
"Teacher, are you kidding us?”
A geography student stood up," Everyone knows that Buzhou Mountain is the Heavenly Pillar. How can there be such a tall mountain in the real world?"”
"That's right, it's impossible.”
At this moment, her hardcore fan, Lin Zhiyin, also raised her hand and said,""Teacher, although there are records about Mount Buzhou in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, it is said that the later generations fabricated it.”
"And even if it's not fabricated, it's just a supernatural novel. Everything in it is fake. The various demon beasts and mountains and rivers in it don't exist at all, so it has no reference value.”
"Oh?"
" What?" Wang Xu asked back." Does it mean that what we can't see now must be fake?”
Someone said,"Seeing is believing!"”
Wang Xu smiled calmly.
"According to this theory, how do you explain the extinct dinosaurs?”
"The dinosaur fossils that have been excavated in the world are real evidence.”
"Maybe it's fake?" Lin Zhiyin thought for a while and said.”
"Yes, if you want to investigate the truth, you have to have an attitude of doubting everything.”Wang Xu said with certainty," The age of dinosaurs is too long ago, so let's talk about something more recent.”
"The last time the Chinese Baiji Dolphin was discovered was in 2002. Since then, this creature has never appeared in the world again.”
Wang Xu presented the facts and gave examples to explain to everyone.
"Because it's extinct now, and no one can see it with their own eyes, how can you say that the Baiji dolphin is fake? It doesn't exist at all?"
" There are many examples like this. Black-faced honey spinners, West African black rhinos, Pyrenees goats, and so on. These species have only become extinct in the past decade.”
"They all existed.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
The classroom was filled with whispers.
"It sounds very reasonable.”
"What we can't see now might not have existed in the past!”
"I didn't believe it at first, but when I heard the examples that Teacher Wang gave, I suddenly realized!”
However, there were also different voices.
"But living things are living things. Living things will die, but The Mountain won't.”
"Yeah, if there really is Buzhou Mountain in Huaxia, why didn't we find it?”
"Haha, the mountain won't run away by itself. Could it have been dug up by the foolish old man's family?”
Hearing the heated discussion in the classroom, Wang Xu smiled.
"As for whether Buzhou Mountain exists or not, you can judge for yourself after listening to my lecture.”
After the students 'voices slowly quieted down, Wang Xu slowly spoke.
"The records of Mount Buzhou in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are actually just a few numbers.”
" The Book of the Sea, the Book of the Great Wilderness's West Scripture says: Outside the northwest sea, at the corner of the Great Wilderness, there is a mountain called Buzhou Fuzi, guarded by two yellow beasts.”
"There is water called the Water of the Cold Department. To the west of the water is a wet mountain, and to the east of the water is a screen mountain. Yu attacked Gonggong Mountain."
After reciting this paragraph from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Wang Xu cleared his throat and spoke loudly.
"Just now, some students mentioned that there is no mountain like Buzhou Mountain in China.”
Wang Xu's lips curled up as he continued to speak under the puzzled gazes of his classmates.
"That's because Mount Buzhou isn't in the current Huaxia Country.”
Lin Zhiyin, who loved to ask questions, immediately asked curiously.
"But Teacher, isn't the Mountain and Sea Classic the mountain terrain of ancient China? If Buzhou Mountain was not in Huaxia, how could it go to a foreign country?”
Wang Xu nodded and said,"This is related to the theory of crust movement."”
As he spoke, his eyes flashed and he pointed at a student from the geography department."This student is from the geography department, right? Why don't you explain to everyone the movement of the plates?”
"Oh, alright, Teacher."
The student who was called out immediately stood up.
" The so-called plate movement refers to the large-scale horizontal movement between continents and between continents and oceanic basins. In other words, the land under our feet is actually expanding or compressing constantly. Some mountains in the world are rising every year, which is the evidence of the movement of the earth's crust.”
"According to the continental drift theory, all the continents on Earth were once a unified huge landmass before the Middle Ages. It was called Pangaea or the United Ancient Land. The Middle Ages began to split and drift, gradually reaching the current position.”
After listening to the geography student's explanation, many smart students immediately reacted.
"Teacher, are you trying to say that there were no Seven Great Continents in ancient times and that there was only one complete continent in the world?”

In addition, the author had searched through all the information he could think of, but there was no accurate record of the military strength of Su Qin's alliance with the six vassals to attack the Qin State. Therefore, he could only roughly estimate it. He hoped that people of insight would not take it too seriously.
I'm asking for flowers and evaluation votes!
