Chapter 608 Ancient Sorcery (4000)(2/2)
Regarding the "ginseng" mentioned by Zhen Mi, Wu Liang had never heard of it, and there had never been any records of similar characters in ancient books, which inevitably made Wu Liang confused.
It should be noted that Dayu later became the emperor.
Now that he has become the emperor, facing such a great hero who played such a role and such a foreigner that even Yu the Great regarded as a "man of heaven", it is natural that he will be greatly rewarded and even less recorded in the annals of history.
But such a person ended up being unknown.
Could it be...
Wu Liang thought of a possibility that his achievements would surpass his master!
Is it because this person's merits were so outstanding that Yu was afraid that he would be superior to his masters, so he erased and monopolized all of this person's merits, and also erased this person as well?
This is something that many founding emperors often did, and relevant records in history books are not uncommon.
With such speculation, Wu Liang subconsciously asked: "Later, why did such a capable person not appear in the history books, and the matter was not passed down?"
"This brings us to the weirdest part of the matter!"
Zhen Mi frowned slightly at this moment, and said in a mysterious tone, "Wen Ming worked hard for thirteen years with the help of this person, and he didn't even go home to visit me when I gave birth. Finally, the flood in Jiuhe was successfully eliminated.
But when Wen Ming received a reward from Emperor Shun and returned home, one day I accidentally asked about this person's whereabouts. Wen Ming actually had no impression of this person. It was as if he had never seen this person before, or even heard of him.
I’ve heard about it.”
"I was puzzled, so I asked other craftsmen who followed Wen Ming to control the water."
"Unexpectedly, those craftsmen also said that they had never seen or heard of this person. I have known some witchcraft since I was a child, so naturally I am not that easy to fool, so I secretly talked to Wen Ming and these people.
I used some means to verify whether they were lying to me."
"The result is a test, but it can only prove that everyone's words are not lies!"
"This puzzles me. I have personally seen Wen Ming talking to this person about water control matters, and I have also seen craftsmen involved in water control talking and laughing with this person. I will never be wrong!"
"But why am I the only one who takes the lead and remembers this person called 'Shen'?"
"But everyone, including Zai Wenming, seems to have had their memories of this person wiped out. No one remembers a single bit of this person?"
"Maybe it's because they are all humans, and I am a nine-tailed demon fox, so I am different from them?"
"..."
When he heard this again, Wu Liang frowned and was filled with surprise and doubt.
What Zhen Mi said just now seems to rule out the possibility that the person named "Shen" was privately dealt with by Dayu because of his superior skills, right?
But this undoubtedly casts a veil of fantasy on the whole thing.
Erase memory?
This is something Wu Liang has only seen in later science fiction or film and television works, and these things must have been imagined. Such means and equipment simply do not exist in reality.
What's more, it's still a large group of amnesiacs...
However, the human brain does have many unsolved mysteries, and it is true that it can suffer from amnesia.
In medicine, there are many cases of people suffering amnesia due to heavy blows to the head, and there are also cases of people suffering partial amnesia due to psychological reasons or emotional problems. However, there are no such planned and purposeful amnesia events.
So, what is going on?
"You feel weird hearing these things, right?"
Zhen Mi looked at Wu Liang's face, but smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said, "I won't hide it from you. This matter has actually troubled me for thousands of years. Although I don't think about it every time, it still makes me think about it.
The impression is so profound that I will never forget it, because it is the only thing in my life that I cannot figure out.”
"It wasn't until just now that I saw this staff and sensed the same special aura as that of the person called 'Shen' on this staff. Then I suddenly remembered something that even I had never seen before.
When I was very young, I heard the Tushan clan’s ancestors mention the ancient witchcraft that had been lost in a very vague way.”
"Although I still can't determine whether the erased memories of Wen Ming and those craftsmen are related to this ancient witchcraft."
"But many details show that there should be some inevitable connection between the two..."
"Um."
Wu Liang nodded attentively, and continued Zhen Mi's words, "This possibility cannot be ruled out."
"First of all, the completion time of this secret realm is just the same as the time of Dayu's flood control, so from a timeline perspective, there may actually be some correlation between the two;"
"Secondly, Dayu's father 'Gun' has the most direct relationship with this secret realm, and 'Gun's' wooden staff was also found here, and you said that this wooden staff is related to the person named 'Shen'
Exuding the same special aura, this is a commonality worthy of scrutiny, and it is also a doubtful point;"
"Thirdly, the person named 'Shen' was extremely concerned about water control. In that era of traffic congestion, his understanding of Jiuhe was far beyond ordinary people. His identity is indeed worth scrutinizing, especially after everyone was wiped out.
In addition to the memory thing related to him, this is an even weirder thing."
"so……"
