Uncovering the Earth: The Strongest Explorer

Yang Pran went deep into Datang Mountain.

Continue to use his method of catching grass and frightening snakes.

There is a lake drawn on the sheepskin map, and Xia Yin City is not very far from the lake.

The mountains within China are still not dangerous.

At least not as dangerous as the Amazon rainforest.

But there are still many creatures like snakes, so Yang Pray is also very careful.

He had a hunch that this time it wouldn't be so easy.

Sure enough, he searched for two days before he found the lake.

It was said to be a lake, but it was almost dry now...

This was because he saw a stone tablet broken in half far away, with a seal character on it, which meant summer.

He couldn't even find this place.

Then he started looking north.

He searched for a long time but found nothing.

Not even a single worthless damaged cultural relic was seen.

This made Yang Yan wonder if there was an error on the parchment?

Or is it simply a lie?

Probably not...

Is Xia Ren so fooled?

But he wasn't discouraged, if it was really that easy to find.

Huaxia has been found by others for so many years.

The expedition team and others have already excavated the ruins of the Xia Dynasty.

If it is really exposed to broad daylight, you will know where it is when you open the map.

Gradually, Yang Chan wondered if the terrain had changed?

Just when he had no other choice, he finally saw a section of the stone tablet exposed from the ground.

Although he couldn't confirm that it belonged to Xia Chao, it gave him an idea.

"Could it be underground?"

Yang Pra looked at the mountain at his feet.

Is it possible that he had to dig three feet into the ground?

No, no!

Yang Pra suddenly thought of something.

He opened the system mall and saw Tudun

【Earth Control Technique: You can integrate yourself into the earth, but there are many restrictions. This is a training method used by pre-Qin Qi practitioners. It means merging with the earth, which is a traditional Chinese concept.】

【It requires 15,000 exploration points to purchase and 5,000 exploration points to learn.】

【Do you want to buy? ]

Yang Pra hesitated for a while.

After all, there are 20,000 exploration points.

But looking at the 95,000 exploration points left, I gritted my teeth and agreed.

After all, it is not a real method of cultivating immortals, but a method of cultivation by pre-Qin Qi alchemists.

It is definitely a lot different from what I imagined.

Exploration points have become 75,000 points.

Then he felt a change in his body.

Slowly blending into the earth, as if falling directly into the soil.

He tried to move.

The restrictions are too great!

He took one step in the dirt, which was equivalent to the energy consumed by walking three or four steps on the ground.

Although, this is nothing at all.

His physique was good and he could withstand it easily.

Then, Yang Pra tried other methods.

Finally, he barely mastered this earth control technique.

It's a little different from the relaxation I imagined, but at least it can be regarded as a method of refining qi.

Is it barely considered Earth Escape?

Then, Yang Pra looked around.

Nothing was found, it was too shallow.

He continued to sink.

The further down he went, the greater the pressure on him.

It's not as easy as waterbending.

Maybe it's due to lack of proficiency.

After sinking at least dozens of meters, Yang Pray made a discovery.

He found bones in the soil.

They have all turned into white bones like fossils. If given another period of time, they might really become fossils.

Embedded in the soil, without separation.

Yang Chan was shocked and looked at the bones of these people.

These people should be Xia people.

These people died in different shapes, some were crushed, and some were still running.

Probably died from a natural disaster.

Such as landslides and mudslides.

After all, this is not an earthquake zone, there is no possibility of an earthquake.

In the mountains, you need to be careful about landslides and mudslides.

Maybe thousands of years ago, this was a low slope.

One day, a huge disaster occurred. The Xia people were unable to escape, and the entire Xia Yin City was swallowed up.

So there was this scene in front of me.

Countless bones were crushed underground.

Some are well preserved and some have disappeared.

Later, Yang Chan finally discovered a dilapidated city underground.

It was badly damaged by mudslides, but many things were still intact.

For example, some bronzes and jades from that time.

Although the ones in the Xia Dynasty were very crude, the workmanship was not good, and the quality was worse than those of later generations.

But it still made Yang Chan very excited.

This proves that the Xia Dynasty really existed.

There's nothing you can do about the poor workmanship.

Because the Xia Dynasty, as speculated, was at the end of the Stone Age and the beginning of the Bronze Age.

It was only at this time that the Chinese learned to use bronze.

This inference was also confirmed when he found some stone tools.

Bronze!

At this moment, Yang Chan stopped.

He saw a tripod.

There were many famous tripods in ancient times, such as Simuwu tripod, Siyang Fangzun...

These were all tripods unearthed in the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

The Xia Dynasty also had a tripod.

The most famous one is probably the legendary Kyushu Cauldron.

According to the"Book of Fengchan" in"Historical Records", after Dayu succeeded in controlling the floods, he divided the land of China into Kyushu and used the copper from Kyushu to cast the Jiuding.

Dayu's Nine Tripods became the national treasure of the Xia Dynasty. After Shang Tang destroyed Xia, Dayu's Nine Tripods returned to Shang. After Zhou Wu King destroyed Shang, Dayu's Nine Tripods were inherited by the Western Zhou Dynasty.

When Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, Dayu's Nine Tripods were transported to Xianyang. One tripod fell into Sishui on the way. The Qin Dynasty only got the Eight Tripods. Later, even Dayu's Eight Tripods mysteriously disappeared.

Whether these records are true or not, and whether the Kyushu Cauldron exists or not, cannot be considered.

After all, it disappeared after the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Sima Qian was only recorded in"Historical Records".

Among the cultural relics unearthed now, there is no tripod belonging to the Xia Dynasty.

This might be the first one!

Yang Yan directly put it into the system space, and then he couldn't restrain his excitement and returned directly to the ground.

Of course, this was also the reason why he was a little tired.

Traveling through the earth is still very energy-consuming.

He built a shed on the spot and rested comfortably before taking out the tripod.

There is a very complicated seal script inside the tripod.

There are also several oracle bones lying around.

It seems that Xia people like to use this combination very much.

Ancient tripods were generally used for worship and commemoration.

So words will be engraved on it.

Moreover, the process will be very complex.

Just like the Xia Ding in front of me.

The side length is approximately 60 centimeters, the height is 100 centimeters, which is half a person's height, and the weight reaches several hundred kilograms.

It is square and the four corners are very symmetrical.

There is a totem carving of a Chinese dragon on it.

Unlike the large lizards in the West, it is an orthodox Eastern dragon.

Dragon heads, dragon claws...

It is said that during the Xia and Shang Dynasties, there were people who specialized in raising 'dragons'.

During the Shun period, there was a man named Dong Fu who specialized in raising dragons.

Therefore, Shun rewarded him with the title of Huanlong.

The Xia Dynasty also records that the Yulong clan also specialized in raising dragons.

It can be seen that the ancients loved dragons very much.

Therefore, it is very reasonable for the dragon totem to appear on Xia Ding. _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - close
