The fifteenth period, the second chapter of Yu's father
When Nuwa Niangniang said this, she reminded Jin Long: "Long'er, those are all things of the past. At this time, let's take a look at the current situation of Ji Kun? Look at this out-and-out water conservancy expert, what is he doing in the world? ”
Nuwa Niangniang took the golden dragon to the outside of the palace, and Niangniang swiped it forward and down with her hand, and immediately a heavenly tent was suddenly opened. They looked carefully at the world, and this was a terrible sight. It turned out that the world was experiencing a great flood, and the water was so powerful and severe that it was unimaginable.
Now the earth was a sea of water, and all the crops in the fields were submerged, and the houses of the inhabitants were collapsed. The people helped the old and the young, and they all scrambled to flee to the nearby mountains. Some people could not escape the pursuit of the flood, so they cried and shouted and climbed the tree first to flee for their lives.
Some of the people fled to the mountains or to the trees, but the wind was still blowing, and the rain was still falling, and because they could not withstand the wind and rain, and could not find food, they soon froze to death and starved to death.
Some young people, relying on their good physical strength, ran dozens of miles in a row and escaped to a relatively large mountain. They were able to take shelter in caves or build huts out of branches and leaves.
They can also temporarily find tree bark and wild vegetables to feed their hunger and temporarily sustain their lives. However, due to the large number of people and the lack of trees, all kinds of poisonous snakes and beasts also ran up the mountain to escape the flood, so that they directly threatened the safety of human life.
Therefore, although the people on the mountain were not drowned, starved to death, or froze to death, they were attacked and killed by those wild beasts and poisonous snakes. At this time, those who are alive collectively kneel down and kowtow to the sky.
Nuwa Niangniang and Jin Long couldn't bear to see this miserable scene, and they looked to the other side, only to see that there was a city where the people were howling. The city was obviously higher than the surrounding ground, but the flood was about to destroy it.
At this time, the people of the city were also praying to heaven. They prayed, "O heaven! O God Almighty! Please come and save us, please let the flood waters recede quickly, please give us a way to live. ”
At this time, a small hill was moving in the flood, and it soon moved to the edge of the city. Then he saw a man emerge from the water, and he turned out to be Bo Kun. Everyone looked at it, this person looked very peculiar, and it turned out that this person looked like a big fish.
Everyone thought that Bo Kun was the god who had just arrived, so they prayed in unison, "Thank you for coming to the rescue, God, please save us." ”
Bo Kun said in a loud voice: "Everyone, listen, my name is Ji Kun, I am the person sent by Emperor Yao to control the water, although I am not a god, but I am here to help everyone." Everyone will flash to the side, and after I force the flood back, everyone will be safe. ”
After listening to Bo Kun's words, everyone retreated to the highest point in the city. So, when he saw Bo Kun put the rest of the soil on the ground, he shouted "long" again. Sure enough, the soil really grew bigger and bigger, and it immediately stretched out for miles, tens, and hundreds of miles.
As the earth grew long, the flood slowly drove away, and the city became higher and higher, and the vast expanse of wilderness was re-exposed. The people of the city happily lifted the Bo Kun, and they sang and danced to celebrate that the Bo Kun had saved their home.
And those who fled to the mountains or trees, seeing that the Bo Kun had forced back the flood, also returned to the land. Now homeless, they are ready to build houses, grow crops, and rebuild their homes.
Later, he took the soil with him to the place where the people who had been besieged by the flood gathered, and built a high wall with the thick soil of the soil. In this way, the torrential flood was kept out of the wall, and the people could live safely in the besieged city for a while.
Then he led the people to put the soil on both sides of the river, and built thick and long dikes, and from then on, the flood water obediently roared in the dikes. Bo Kun was afraid of accidents, so he guarded the embankment every day and fought on the front line of flood fighting and rescue all the time.
When Nuwa Niangniang and Jin Long saw this, the heart they were carrying finally let go, and the two finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
Jin Long said: "Niangniang, if you hadn't stopped me, when the flood came, I would have rushed down to the world to help Bo Kun." ”
Nuwa Niangniang said: "Long'er, the situation has not yet reached the most serious time, and the world has been able to stabilize for a while recently." In about nine days, there will be another great catastrophe on earth, and then you will have to go. ”
By the ninth year of Bo Kun's flood control, the flood seemed to be less raging and rampant, and Bo Kun thought that he would be able to sit back and relax. Unexpectedly, another bigger flood broke out.
This time, the torrential rain lasted for a month, and the flood washed the dams that had been good ends into chaos, and most of the city was washed away. Some people are homeless as a result, and some families are even destroyed.
This time, those who lost their homes put the blame on Bo Kun. He didn't care too much, he saw that the flood was menacing, so he hurriedly took the soil to plug the gap, but in this panic, he recited the wrong spell, and the soil was also washed away by the flood.
Bo Kun was extremely nervous at this time, and he lost his rest, and there was no hope for his water control career. His hard work was also in vain, and many people began to doubt Ji Kun's water control strategy, thinking that he was misleading the country and the world. Bo Kun was really unexpected, he couldn't argue, and his fate took a sharp turn from then on.
At the same time as Bo Kun controlled the water, Yu Shun was tested by Di Yao in many ways, and he was deeply loved and appreciated by Di Yao. Di Yao was very satisfied with this kind, wise and filial courtier, so he directly ceded the imperial throne to Yu Shun.
Yu Shun didn't want to accept it at first, he thought that he could not get this holy grace, and he was flattered to accept such a prominent imperial throne. As a result, Yu Shun has been promoting the emperor's son Danzhu to inherit the throne of Emperor Yao.
Later, Di Yao passed away, and Yu Shun still gave up the position of the Son of Heaven to Di Yao's son Danzhu in order to avoid suspicion. But no one in the world obeyed Danzhu, and Yu Shun knew that this was the will of heaven. As a result, Yu Shun served the emperor for three years and his filial piety expired, and he officially ascended the throne of the co-master.
After Emperor Shun ascended the throne, he asked the courtiers of the world to carry forward the virtues of Emperor Yao, govern the world with benevolence, righteousness and virtue, and reject the villains who flattered with rhetoric, so that the barbarians from all over the world would come to attach themselves to the country of China.
However, when Emperor Shun had just sat on the throne of God, the world ushered in an unprecedented flood. When the surging flood came, Di Shun's throne was not yet secured, and his palace was washed away by the flood.
Emperor Shun hurriedly sent Bo Kun to come to the disaster, but Bo Kun was on the way to come, and he rushed to the capital while helping the victims on the way, so he delayed time. When Bo Kun arrived at the imperial capital, the shadow of the imperial capital was gone, and he thought that the emperor had been swept away by the flood, so he cried there.
It turned out that Bo Kun did not come for a long time, and the ministers took Emperor Shun to the city of "Pusaka" on a high mountain. As a result, Emperor Shun regarded Pusaka as the new imperial capital, and everyone lived here. When Bo Kun found Kasaka Castle, the ministers were so angry that they were already indignant when they saw him.
Di Shun asked Bo Kun: "Sinner Bo Kun, you are too bold, you dare not come to let you control the water." You have wasted the emperor's will, and the water control has failed, resulting in the destruction of life, can you be guilty? ”
Bo Kun generously responded: "Emperor Rongyu, the biggest shortcoming of my person is that I am too persistent. Although I have lofty ideals, I am determined to do the good of the world. However, after all, it backfired, and in the end, I still failed to control the water, and I must bear this responsibility. Emperor Shun, since things have come to this point, there is no choice to kill or kill me, so let it be as you please. ”
Di Shun said with pity: "Bo Kun, in fact, I can't protect you in this matter, so please forgive me." I know that you are a good man who dedicates himself to the people, and besides, you and I are both descendants of the Yellow Emperor, so we have to use the laws of imperial rule to restrain ourselves. However, you have to be punished for your unmeritorious deeds, and you should not be killed for unintentional crimes. For the sake of our same clan and clan, according to your situation, I will punish you to 'Yushan' to face the wall and think about it. ”
According to the criminal law, she was also whipped with 30 lashes by the criminal officer. Then, he thanked Emperor Shun for not killing him, stayed in the city for a few days, he took care of his whip wounds, and then went to Yushan.
Along the way, Ji Kun was very depressed, and he said to himself: "God, you are too unfair, I am so sincere to the people, but the water treatment is ineffective, but I am guilty, isn't it too cowardly?" ”
After he came to Yushan, he has been thinking about some problems. He asked himself against the wall of the cave: "O O Kun, why do you have all the skills, never covet wealth and nobility, and are dedicated to the country and the people, and you can be said to be dedicated to the cause of water control, how can such a person have such a fate?" ”
The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it, and the more he thought about it, the more he didn't understand, and he couldn't solve this knot. In the end, with a sense of regret for mankind, he became depressed and fell ill, and died of illness.
When Nuwa Niangniang and Jin Long saw this, Niangniang said to Jin Long: "Long'er, although you and you are father and son, you two have no chance to see each other in this life. Now, she will soon return to heaven, and the rest of the task of controlling the water will be completed by you. ”
Jin Long said: "Niangniang, when will I go to the lower realm?" ”
Niangniang said: "Just now." ”
Nuwa Niangniang said, and pushed the golden dragon with her hand, and the golden dragon rushed forward and fell into an endless void.
It is also strange to say that after his death, his spirit did not die, and his body not only did not decompose for three years, but also came to life. Later, the Jade Emperor sent the "Tai Bai Xing" to the world as a woodcutter.
On this day, a woodcutter went up the mountain to chop wood, and he accidentally found the body of Ji Kun on the feather mountain, and he found that the corpse's abdomen was bulging and distended. The woodcutter slashed with his chopping knife, and saw a big hole in the bulging corpse.
At this time, I saw a baby peeking out of the belly of the child, and the little one's eyes were dripping and rolling, and they were still bright. The woodcutter came up to pick up the baby, and the baby smiled and talked to him.
The woodcutter put the child on the ground, and the little one could walk. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, the sky and the earth were cloudy, and when they looked back, the body of Ji Kun had turned into a yellow dragon and flew into the sky.
The woodcutter hurriedly carried the child home, and he gave the child the surname "Him" to his father's surname, according to his surname. He also named the child "Yu", also known as "Wenming", and the word "Gaomi".
The kid has been very smart since he was a child, and the woodcutter also taught him a lot of skills. Therefore, Ji Yu has been great since he was a child, he has the wisdom of a god, the ability of a dragon, the strength of a big bear, and he can also change his body according to different needs.
After the woodcutter who was transformed into the platinum star raised Ji Yu to grow up, he went back to the sky. In fact, Ji Yu is the incarnation of the golden dragon, and this time he was ordered by Nuwa Niangniang to save the suffering of the world from the lower realm. At the same time, Nuwa Niangniang has also taken back the silan, and she gave the siloon to Ji Yu through the hand of Tai Bai Xing.
One day, Ji Yu's matter was overheard by Di Shun. Di Shun heard that Bo Kun left behind a son who was very clever and knew how to control the water better than his father. So Di Shun decided to entrust this kid with a heavy task and let him continue to complete the unfinished water control business of Bo Kun.
