"Almost, but I have already seen what this secret realm is made of."

Zhen Mi smiled mysteriously.

"Isn't this an ordinary underground cave?"

Wu Liang was stunned again and asked subconsciously.

This question seems like nonsense. This is certainly not an ordinary underground cave. How could an ordinary underground cave be equipped with formations, and how could there be so many traces of artificial construction?

But since Zhen Mi said those words, she could naturally understand what Wu Liang meant.

In fact, Wu Liang had some doubts about this underground cave before:

It is unreasonable for such a large underground cave to have no support in the middle and not even the slightest sign of collapse.

Zhen Mi suddenly said this.

Wu Liang thought of this question again, and perhaps the answer she gave could explain it.

"Of course not. This underground cave is made up of 'breathing soil' from top to bottom. 'breathing soil' is also a rare treasure born from heaven and earth. When it comes into contact with water, it will quickly harden and shape. Don't say

It is a rock, and even gold and iron may not be harder than it. The dead ghost Wen Ming used this object when he was controlling the water, and Wen Ming's father, who had never met his face, was also punished and killed by Yu Shun because of this object."

Zhen Mi said in a calm tone.

"Wen Ming's unknown father?"

Wu Liang reacted for a moment before he understood who Zhen Mi was talking about.

"Wen Ming" is naturally the real name of "Dayu", and the father of "Dayu" is the "Gun" who he had previously thought was suspected of participating in the succession of emperors between Danzhu and Emperor Shun.

As far as Wu Liang knows, there is indeed a record about "Xi soil" in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", and it also records that "Gun" was punished and died by Emperor Shun.

"The red water surged into the sky, and Gun stole the emperor's soil and poured red water into it. He did not obey the emperor's orders, so the emperor ordered Zhu Rong to kill Gun in Yuyuan. The female Gun gave birth to Yu in her belly, so the emperor ordered Yu to lead the soil to conquer the Nine Provinces."

"Yu filled up the floods with fertile soil."

There is no mention in the history books that Dayu mastered the same "water control skills" as he did. Instead, it is said that the two generations of father and son used something like "breathing soil" to control water.

In the Han Dynasty, scholars' interpretation of "resting the soil" was: "The soil is not consumed when it is rested, and the benefits of digging are more, so it is used to fill floods."

In the Jin Dynasty, the famous "Shan Hai Jing Annotation" gave an interpretation: "Those who rest on the soil say that the soil will grow and breathe indefinitely, so it can stop floods."

Later, in the Five Dynasties period, there was even such a record: "Yu carved the stone to build the Dragon Palace and filled it in the sky to plug the water eyes."

In short, in the records of later dynasties and dynasties, "Xi soil" is an extremely miraculous treasure that is inexhaustible and its usual use is to control floods.

However, it was not until Wu Liang traveled back to the modern era where he lived.

The archaeological and academic circles have developed a new interpretation of "xi soil". It is generally believed that "xi soil" is actually fallow land that has been cultivated.

Because later archaeological discoveries showed that the concept of fertilizing the land had not yet appeared during the Yao and Shun periods, so a fallow system was needed to maintain the fertility of the soil. At the same time, flood disasters also occurred very frequently at that time. In order to build buildings in a short period of time, "Gun"

A large number of earth embankments were used to block floods, and due to the transportation conditions at the time, soil from the fallow land had to be used nearby.

However, this will seriously affect the subsequent agricultural production and further aggravate the famine that occurred after the flood. In addition, "Gun" did not report the situation in time, causing complaints from the people. In addition, the strategy of building land to block the flood itself has problems.

On the contrary, it aggravated the disaster caused by the floods breaking the banks.

Under this situation, in order to quell the people's resentment, Emperor Shun had to kill "Gun" to thank the world...
