Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 591 Unkillable Xiaoqiang (4000)

But now that Zhen Mi suddenly said these words, Wu Liang's cognition of "Xi Rang" was shaken.

Could it be that the interpretation of "Xi Soil" by the archaeological and academic circles of later generations is wrong. "Xi Soil" is not a fallow land, but another mysterious thing that is not known to future generations?

Especially Zhen Mi Natong's description of "Xi Soil": "This object will quickly harden and shape when exposed to water. Not to mention rock, even gold and iron may not be harder than it..."

In addition, Zhen Mi also said that this huge underground cave without any support is formed by the condensation of "breathing soil".

Wu Liang felt more and more that "Xi Rang" was no small matter.

After all, even the reinforced concrete used in infrastructure construction in later generations is definitely not so hard and stable. He has never seen that building or bridge in later generations does not need to build load-bearing columns. The huge difference between the two is basically incomparable.

Think so.

Wu Liang suddenly asked a question that he was more concerned about: "Can we still find 'Xi Soil' in this world?"

Of course, what he was talking about was not the underground cave formed by the condensed "breathing soil", but the "breathing soil" that could be excavated and used directly.

In any era, material is king.

As far as he knows, there were "pottery knives" made of clay in the ancient Tang and Yu Dynasties.

Then if the clay is replaced with "Xiyang" to make weapons, according to what Zhen Mi said, "Xiyang" can quickly harden and shape when it meets water, even harder than gold and iron. Weapons are magic weapons in the true sense, and iron weapons that have replaced bronze and lasted for thousands of years may be discarded.

However, the archaeological world of later generations has never found any weapons or tools suspected of using "breathing soil" as raw materials.

Therefore, later generations still recognize that the history of human civilization should be based on "stone tools-pottery-bronze tools-iron tools", and "Xi soil" has never appeared.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach the sky."

Zhen Mi shook her head and said, "As far as I know, 'Xi Rang' was originally hidden in the ground thousands of feet deep, and it was found in a naturally formed crack in the abyss when Emperor Yao was in power. The environment, with the characteristics of 'breathing soil', only needs to experience one rain and snow, and there will be no 'breathing soil' in the world."

"At the beginning, no one took this humble dry soil seriously. It was only a few months later that someone accidentally discovered the characteristics of 'Xi Soil'. Since then, it has been excavated and stored by Emperor Yao as a kind of divine object. Later, Emperor Yao passed it on to Emperor Shun, and 'Xi Rang' was naturally passed on to Emperor Shun."

"Later, Emperor Yao died of illness in Lei Ze, and Emperor Shun went to attend the funeral for Emperor Yao. Wen Ming's father 'Gun' took the opportunity to secretly transport 'Xi Rang' away, and at the same time, Danzhu also Taking advantage of the emptiness of the guards in the capital, he seized the throne and made Emperor Shun unable to return home."

"It's a pity that Danzhu is ignorant, incompetent, and moral. After all, there is no way to convince the tribes. After several years in power, almost all the tribal leaders went to join Emperor Shun and supported him to return to the capital to regain the throne. In the end, Emperor Shun also thought that It is the will of the people, and they cannot continue to refuse and tolerate, and finally returned to the capital after three years of guarding the mausoleum of Emperor Yao, and regained control of the world."

"However, when Emperor Shun opened the warehouse where 'Xi Rang' was stored, he was shocked. All the 'Xi Rang' stored in the warehouse disappeared."

"After some investigations, Emperor Shun quickly found the 'Gun' who secretly transported 'Xi Rang' away."

"When the matter came to light, 'Gun' insisted that all the 'Xi Soil' had been used for flood control, but when Emperor Shun asked him to tell where it was used and planned to go to verify it himself, 'Gun' kept silent , and even wanted to die, Emperor Shun was so disappointed in him that he had to send someone to kill him in the end."

"Since then, the whereabouts of those 'Xi Soils' have become a mystery. No one has seen them again, and they have been gradually forgotten by the world over time."

"Now that I see this underground cave, I suddenly feel relieved."

"It turns out that those 'Xi Soil' were smuggled here by 'Gun' and built such a magnificent underground secret realm, but who built this underground secret realm and what is it for? This is a question, anyway, I only know that Wen Ming must know nothing about this secret place, because he never mentioned it to me, and he has never been here."

Speaking of this, Zhen Mi Qiao's face showed a hint of doubt. Obviously, when Yan Lu talked about the background of this secret realm with Wu Liang and Zuo Ci, her fox servant did not find a chance to eavesdrop.

And her words also closed the biggest loophole about "Xi Rang".

Since "Xi soil" will quickly harden and shape when exposed to water, its storage must be a problem. As she said, rain and snow are also water, and a rain or snow can make "Xi soil" Soil" turned into a huge lump that looked like a stone, and the world had no chance to discover such a strange thing.

As for the location where the discovery was in the "thousands of feet deep" crack in the abyss, it is necessary to investigate this matter in depth.

Because such an abyss must be no small matter, even after thousands of years of geological changes, it is difficult to change, and it is difficult not to leave some relics.

But as far as Wu Liang knew, there was no Grand Canyon with such a scale in the territory of the later celestial dynasties.

Also.

Such a deep abyss crack.

Although it is still far from reaching the core of the earth, some large-scale crustal movements in ancient times may not necessarily make it possible for some things located in the core of the earth to emerge.

Therefore, the essence of "Xi Soil" is...

A bold conjecture emerged in Wu Liang's mind: the scientific community of later generations believes that the earth should be divided into four main parts from the outside to the inside: the crust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core.

And in the mantle part, there are also some lithosphere and asthenosphere that are difficult for ordinary people to see.

And just before Wu Liang crossed, people's research on the earth extended to the uppermost layer of the earth's mantle at most. The situation is still unknown, and it is still in the stage of conjecture and speculation.

So is the legendary "Xiyang" related to the secret of the nature of the earth that even later generations have not explored?
However, although he had such a guess in his mind, he did not mention it to Zhen Mi, but took the lead in conveying information to Zhen Mi that she did not know: "According to Yan Lu, the owner of this underground secret realm is Dan Zhu. It should be that he has mastered some ancient documents found in this underground secret realm, so the credibility is very high."

"Dan Zhu?"

Zhen Mi showed surprise on her face, and after pondering for a moment, she said, "If that's the case, then 'Gun' and Danzhu may have a very close relationship, and Danzhu may have been involved in taking the throne from Emperor Shun by taking advantage of the emptiness. There is indeed such a possibility, 'Gun' is an old minister of Emperor Yao, and Danzhu is the eldest son of Emperor Yao, so if 'Gun' is loyal to Emperor Yao, it is possible that he is also loyal to Danzhu."

"You are right."

Wu Liang kept this matter in his heart for the time being. This may be the truth of that period of history, but further evidence is needed to confirm it.

Also.

Wu Liang felt that "Gun"'s death was actually suspicious.

It is true that stealing "Xiyang" and participating in a coup d'état, if one of these two things is taken out at random, in any era, it is enough for "Gun" to bear the punishment of thousands of cuts, let alone put the two together.

But only on Emperor Shun, you need to think about it.

Because one of the most famous strategies of Emperor Shun's rule of the country is "Xiang is punished with a code, and five punishments are exempted".

Emperor Shun has always implemented a very lenient policy of governing the country. He can be regarded as the first person in the history of China and foreign countries to oppose the death penalty, so exile is usually used instead of corporal punishment.

Facing the evil "four murderers", he chose to exile them to a barren land instead of killing them.

Some historical books say that the "four evils" are the untalented son Hundun of the Dihong clan, the untalented Qiongqi of the Shaohao clan, the untalented Zhuanwu of the Zhuanxu clan, and the untalented Taotie of the Jinyun clan.

However, some historical books say that the "four evils" are Gonggong, Badger, Sanmiao, and Gun.

That is to say, it is also possible that Emperor Shun did not send someone to kill "Gun", but also chose to exile him.

Although Wu Liang had no way to ascertain the facts of this period of history, personally, he was more inclined to the second argument, because since Emperor Shun advocated exile instead of corporal punishment, such a person must do what he says, If he chose to kill Gun, it would be tantamount to slapping himself in the face, and an emperor who has reached this status often regards his face as more important than his life, so how could he easily do something like "vomit after eating"?
Even if you really want to do this, you can do it in secret. There is no need to make a big fuss, and everyone will know about it.

And Wu Liang's analysis is not without basis.

As the mastermind of this coup, Dan Zhu was not killed, but was relegated to the land of Liu in the Tang Dynasty. Later, he took the country as his surname and created the Qi surname Liu, and most of the subsequent Liu surnames were his descendants. Descendants, including the founding emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty, in the genealogy of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang is the No.70 fifth grandson of Danzhu.

Think so.

Emperor Shun could even let go of the mastermind of the coup d'état, so how could he insist on killing "Gun" to face his consistent stand?
However, Wu Liang had no intention of mentioning these doubts to Zhen Mi.

From what Zhen Mi said just now, Wu Liang knew that Zhen Mi didn't have a deep understanding of the doubts that arose in his heart, and he might not gain much if he kept asking.

its so.

It's better to hurry up and ask Zhen Mi more about this formation, maybe you can find the answer after entering the core area of ​​this secret realm.

After all, since Zhang Liang and Yan Lu found some written records in the first half of this secret realm.

Then the real core area should not be empty, and the documents hidden in the core area should be related to the real secret.

Thinking of this, Wu Liang put aside the doubts in his mind for the time being, and asked with some hope: "Leave that aside, you just said that although you don't have a clear understanding of this formation, but Seeing that we have fallen into the psychedelic witchcraft in the formation and have been standing still, but your fox servant has not been confused, do you have any way to resist this psychedelic witchcraft?"

If he can also resist this psychedelic witchcraft.

Then he is the only sober person among all the people present. Not only can he easily get rid of Yan Lu, Zuo Ci and others, but he can reach the stone room in the middle of the secret realm first to find out, and he may even kill Yan Lu, Zuo Ci and others Playing between the palms of your hands.

"You think too much."

But Zhen Mi shook her head and said, "So far I don't even know what kind of formation this is, how can I know how to resist the psychedelic witchcraft in this formation? As for the reason why my fox servant was not deceived, maybe It’s because fox servants are different from humans, after all, humans set up formations to defend against humans.”

"..."

Wu Liang suddenly lost his voice, and it seemed that this bowl of soft rice had nothing to eat.

But this time, it was not all fruitless to fight Zhen Mimeng, at least I had a clearer understanding of the historical background at that time, and at the same time, I knew that I had fallen into psychedelic witchcraft, and I had some bottom line in my heart.

"There is one more thing you should pay attention to."

Zhen Mi glanced at him, then continued.

"What's the matter?"

Wu Liang turned around and asked.

"Zhang Liang's falling into the water should also be a masterpiece of your 'Water Control Technique'?"

Zhen Mi asked instead.

It seems that her fox servant probably didn't see the scene at that time, and didn't know what happened, but only made inferences based on what he saw later.

"You saw Zhang Liang's corpse?"

Wu Liang asked subconsciously.

Zhang Liang fell into the water for a long time without a trace, and the river water was extremely cold, so the chances of ordinary people surviving were very slim.

"Zhang Liang is not dead."

But Zhen Mi shook her head and said, "But you don't have to worry. After he fell into the water, he somehow escaped to the lower reaches of the dark river, and was rescued by the soldiers waiting on the bank. When he was underwater, Yan Lu wanted to kill him, and vowed to tear this ungrateful slave into pieces, and he didn't blame you for this matter... Then he ordered people to go out and gather more troops to prepare Come back to ask Yan Lu Xingshi for the crime, but it has been a long time now, if there is no accident, Zhang Liang should have killed him a long time ago, I don't know why he hasn't come in until now."

"This man is really an unkillable Xiaoqiang."

Wu Liang said quite unexpectedly.

"What Xiaoqiang?"

Zhen Mi asked with a puzzled look.

The word "Xiaoqiang" is also a popular vocabulary only in later generations. Older people may not know what it means, let alone Zhen Mi, an ancient who lived thousands of years ago.

"It's nothing, I mean, I'm afraid there will be a good show in the future, but I don't know what direction the situation will develop, and whether it will be beneficial to us."

Wu Liang muttered intently.

Even if Zhang Liang really led people to chase him in, he might not be able to control the situation.

After all, Yan Lu had been dormant in the Zhang residence for a long time, and all the soldiers present were bewitched by him, and Zhang Liang and the soldiers who were summoned later might not have been bewitched by him.

Compared with those soldiers, Yan Lu's Gu on Zhang Liang's body might be more powerful.
