History vs. fiction
Masters of the Earth-Escaping Art
In "Investiture of the Gods," Tu Xingsun's short stature and unsightly appearance create a strong dramatic contrast with his formidable earth-tunneling skill, and his peculiar marriage to Deng Chanyu leaves a deep impression. In the "Records of the Grand Historian," there are no extraordinary figures in the Zhou army who master the art of earth-tunneling. Tu Xingsun and his magical artifacts are entirely fictional creations of the gods-and-demons novel to add a touch of fantasy. According to "Investiture of the Gods, Chapter 45," the book explicitly states that Juliu Sun "took the Immortal-Binding Rope and ordered the Yellow Turban Warrior to bring Zhao Jiang to the reed canopy, awaiting orders."
