Chapter 453: Iron Dahu
Speaking of earthquakes, Yang Zhenghui still knows a little. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Xun said this, Wang Ruyi asked, Yang Zhenghui immediately realized, and said: "Mr. Li, are you talking about the H County earthquake that occurred in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty? If we say that in the history of China, the biggest disaster caused is probably this earthquake!"
In fact, as far as I know, the H County earthquake is not only the earthquake with the largest number of casualties in the history of our country, but also the most tragic earthquake in H County, even in the world, where there is a well-documented record of the number of deaths and names. ”
Li Xun nodded: "Yes, it is this H County earthquake, if I remember correctly, it seems to have happened in 1556, more than 450 years ago, and the death toll in that earthquake was about 830,000, which is a terrifying data."
Of course, before that, around 1201 AD, it is said that there was also a devastating earthquake near the Mediterranean Sea, killing more than 1.1 million people, but the statistics of that earthquake are not very credible.
In the Ming Dynasty, the hukou system was relatively strict, so this statistical data of 830,000 is very reliable. ”
Yang Zhenghui said the name of the earthquake before, but everyone didn't have much reaction.
But as soon as Li Xun later mentioned the number of people who died in the earthquake, everyone gasped.
Eight hundred and thirty thousand?
Gosh, what is this concept?
An earthquake can kill more than 800,000 people, and it was still during the Ming Dynasty, which is unimaginable to put aside the current population density.
But everyone was even more surprised that the "H County earthquake" that Li Xun and Yang Zhenghui said was actually related to the huge creatures underground.
Wang Ruyi was dumbfounded, and muttered: "Master, what do you mean, what kind of H County earthquake is related to that underground creature? God, 830,000 ah...... It's unimaginable. ”
Li Xun's expression became a little heavy, and he nodded again: "Ruyi, in the future, I will take some time to briefly tell you about the historical events that the four of us experienced in the past, so that you can also understand the real history, but this H County earthquake is indeed related to underground creatures." ”
Wang Ruyi was even more shocked and asked, "Master, could it be that the four of us were also involved in the events before and after this earthquake?"
Li Xun nodded slowly: "Of course, in the event of such a major earthquake disaster, our ancestors must not sit idly by, and this earthquake is too incredible, so our ancestors also speculated that it might be related to the chaos of underground creatures."
In addition, SX itself is near the foundation of my four families, so as soon as the earthquake broke out, the four of us immediately organized hunters to rush to the disaster site, and after more than two months of tracking, we finally found some clues, and then unearthed amazing secrets.
The most serious earthquake is in four counties such as Huayin in H County, and the number of casualties is the most tragic near Tongguan, and it is rumored that the population near Tongguan is almost seven or eight out of ten.
At that time, the underground of Tongguan was about 70 or 80 miles long from east to west and 30 or 40 miles from north to south.
It is precisely because of this that after the earthquake broke out at that time, it caused a devastating catastrophe, and the root cause of it was because the intensity of the earthquake itself was not small, coupled with the complete collapse of the underground cave network, and the earthquake was added to the earthquake, causing irreparable huge losses. ”
Yang Zhenghui's face turned pale in shock, and he whispered to himself in disbelief: "No wonder, later generations of geologists studied this earthquake and believed that the H County earthquake was a typical earthquake in the continental plate, although there is a large fault zone at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains in the south, a large fault zone in Fengxiang Chengcheng in the north, and the Weihe Basin in the middle, there are geological conditions for the formation of a major earthquake, but it is not enough to break out such a huge earthquake. ”
Li Xun sighed: "Yes, it's just an ordinary earthquake, why did it cause such a huge number of casualties? ”
Compared with Yang Zhenghui's concern about the earthquake, Wang Ruyi is more concerned about the underground creatures that caused the huge earthquake.
He asked eagerly, "Master, have the four of us succeeded in hunting down that underground creature?"
Li Xun nodded: "Of course it is hunting, the existence of such underground creatures, if you really want to say whether it is a threat to human beings, it doesn't seem to be a big threat in normal times, they originally like underground activities, rarely go to the ground to move, and rarely like other evil creatures, they will openly prey on humans, but once they cause a huge disaster, it is simply an irreparable disaster."
So after the four of us found out about the huge network of underground caverns, we immediately gathered the most elite and powerful hunters again and formed three or four teams to track down the whereabouts of the underground creatures, and after four years of chasing and killing, we finally succeeded in hunting down this group of creatures. ”
"Not one, it's a group, and it took four years?" Wang Ruyi was shocked again.
"You think it's so easy to catch an underground creature? It's not like a living creature on the ground that can trace traces from the ground. Li Xun glanced at Wang Ruyi.
Wang Ruyi sighed and asked, "Master, what kind of creatures are they, how can they be so powerful and can create such a huge network of underground caves in length and width?"
Wang Ruyi's question is also of concern to everyone.
yes, what kind of underground creature would be so powerful?
In the face of everyone's doubts, Li Xun seemed to be a little hesitant at first, after all, many of the things mentioned today have already involved the historical secrets of the four major families, and they usually cannot be leaked.
But he finally said the creature's name.
He said slowly: "According to my Li Men's records, this is a relatively unique creature, and it is called the iron dahu. ”
"Iron dahu?" Wang Ruyi was dumbfounded.
What is this?
A Miao hunter immediately exclaimed: "Dahu? Could it be a pangolin?"
Li Xun said: "It's not a pangolin, in fact, the name pangolin is a general term for the animals of the pangolin family, the pangolin genus, and there are subdivided species under it, and from the name I recorded in it, it seems that this iron dace should be regarded as one of the pangolins, but it is a very powerful and special one."
But since the four of us hunted this colony of iron dahu four hundred and fifty years ago, it seems that our hunters in later generations have never found a similar creature. ”
Wang Ruyi's eyes rolled, and then he asked, "By the way, Master, can the iron dace make a hole in the rock?"
"Of course you can, otherwise what would it call an iron drigal? ”
Wang Ruyi asked, "Then Master, do you think this guy we meet now will be the iron dace?"
Li Xun pondered for a moment and said, "It's not impossible, but it's a pity that I don't know the smell of iron dahu, otherwise I can tell it." (To be continued.) )
