Chapter 5 Sha Wujing repairs the stone weir and the little loach becomes a handsome catfish

The third section is a fish passage built by pure divine workmanship

Sha Wujing repaired the dam and the canal, and stood under the weir, intoxicated with the joy of success. Suddenly, ripples rippled in the water. Then, a middle-aged woman in a red dress surfaced in the water. The middle-aged woman drifted to Wujing.

"Master Sha Monk, hello!" The middle-aged woman first bowed deeply to Wujing. Then, he said softly to Wujing: "I'll introduce myself first." I was the 'queen' of carp in this river, and the modern surface fish made a suggestion to you: the weirs and canals you built were quite ahead of their time in the mortal realm. If you build a fish passage again, it will be thousands of years ahead. ”

"Cultivating the Fish Road?" Sha Wujing sighed in his heart how he forgot about the "biological chain"!

"Is it important for you fish to repair the fish way?" Sha Wujing asked the carp "queen" rhetorically.

"Fish passages are the foundation of our fish's survival on Earth." The carp "queen" is still soft-spoken.

"Is the fish passage really that important?" Sha Wujing said thoughtfully.

"Of course! Without a fish passage, our fish will be cut off from a place to give birth and cultivate young fry. The dam you build becomes a natural barrier for the fish to be cut off. ”

"My original intention was to build a dam to ease the villagers' water supply. I didn't expect the dam to be a disaster for your fish. I'm so sorry! Queen of the Carp. ”

"Don't say I'm sorry just yet. You just repaired the dam and didn't have any impact on our fish! You just need to accumulate some virtue and hurry up to fix the fishway. You have done all the good deeds, and the merit is immeasurable! ”

"I'll do it right away!"

"Master Sha Monk, don't worry. Let me first talk about the practical significance and far-reaching historical significance of the fish road. ”

"I don't know how much it means to cultivate the fish road."

"Let me tell you about the changes that will take place in the future of the earth, and you will know the importance of the fish passage to our fish!"

The carp "queen" then told the sand monk a story that would happen to mankind thousands of years later.

The carp "queen" said to the sand monk:

"In the future, there will be two major changes in the fish on the planet. The first is that the fish in the countryside envy the city life. Then it was the city fish who envied the country life. ”

"That's true! Can you really predict thousands of years from now? ”

"In thousands of years, fish will face many life and death tests in the process of evolution."

The carp "queen" said to Sha Wujing: In thousands of years, mankind will enter the electronic age. Computers have brought human beings into a highly information-based life. In the city of "Kyoto" on our land, on July 8, 2012, the director of the "Urban Fish and Shrimp" matchmaking agency received a courtship "blog post" from a rural river fish girl on the Internet: she has no age limit for boys; There is no limit to height, shortness, fat and thinness; There is no limit to having a history of marriage or not; There are no restrictions on the elderly, children, etc.; As long as there is a set (building) of hundreds of square meters in the city, worth millions of yuan, tens of millions of yuan of residence, it is "medium".

The director of the "Urban Fish and Shrimp" marriage agency replied: Girl, how good your countryside is, there are small insects and shrimp that eat meat, and sorghum corn hawthorn that eats vegetarian food, all of which are original traditional food; I live in a cave and a ditch, which is where your ancestors have lived for generations.

The village fish girl replied: (1) Why do you city people still look at our countryside with old eyes? Now glass slags, pesticide bottles, broken porcelain pieces, rusty wires, etc. are everywhere in our rural rivers. What's even more terrifying is that in order to get rich, rural people began to electric fish and fried fish; The river is densely covered with rows of mesh, and even a small shrimp can't run out, and we all call it "the net of no household". What's even more hateful is that minors use a few yuan or more than a dozen yuan to buy a few bottles of pesticides - "Xiashen strain" poured into the river, and all the fish and shrimp in the river dozens of miles long were wiped out, and many of our similar species were extinct. (2) Besides, how good the fish are in your city, you live in the "Dragon Palace Villa": the high-end is transparent glass tiles; No matter how bad it is, it is a plastic greenhouse. Eat a round and crunchy "hormone catalytic stick"; The good things flowing out of food factories, feed factories, and paper mills have all reached your mouths, and they all have fat heads and big ears, how cool it is! Your "Dragon Palace Villa" is usually close to the chemical factory, and you can use cosmetics for free every day, and the black beard is dyed yellow and green, how beautiful! In the past, it was the thousand-year-old king and 80,000-year-old turtle that could become an immortal, but now it can be smelted into an immortal in a few years and a few months, how good! Smell your smell again, and see what you look like, which one is not weird-looking, weird-smelling. It's better for your city.

The director of the "Urban Fish and Shrimp" marriage agency replied: Girl, finding a partner is a lifelong event, you have to think about it and see it. I'll tell you the truth, you village fish don't know that the disaster of our city fish is coming. Although our city fish live in the "Dragon Palace Villa", men, women and children are full of modern diseases, and there are problems with the genetic and reproductive systems. The "Mountain and Sea Hormone Sticks" we eat and the "Bead Cream Cream" skin lotion we wear are all banes. Food additives, pesticides, detergents, Suchangling, contraceptives, etc., which flow out of the factory, have destroyed our endocrine system, coupled with the epidemic of drug abuse, venereal diseases, and antibiotic abuse in the city, many children of the same kind are deformed freaks, and many fish are born with "senile dementia". Girl, you have to think twice!

The village fish girl replied: Giving birth to a child "Alzheimer's" is better than extinction, and I will marry in the city. As for the children who will be born with "Alzheimer's" in the future, you are "unfounded", and you don't have to worry about this at all. Scientists have discovered a planet that is light-years farther than the Earth from the Sun, and that there are mountains and rivers on it that can survive. In the future, when the "Alzheimer's" children I have will not be able to survive on Earth, I will send them to a new planet in wholesale. Yes! Yes! Yes!

The director of the "Urban Fish and Shrimp" marriage agency replied: Pay first, pay more, and pay the intermediary fee, I will do my best, work hard, and do it! Yes! Yes! Yes!

After listening to the story of the "queen" of the carp, Sha Wujing added a fish passage to the newly built Xinpi weir dam project, which became a model for maintaining ecological balance. Sha Wujing built a fish passage 80 meters below the entrance of the aqueduct on the west bank. That is, on the side of the canal near the river, a sluice gate was built, and a small canal was built to bring water to the bottom of the weir. The name of the river where Wujing built the dam is Wenming River, and the downstream flows into the Xiangjiang River, which is about 50 miles away. From the beginning of this river to the time when Sha Wujing built the Xinpi weir dam, there was no barrage in the 50-mile river. Xinpi Weir was the highest barrage (river) dam at that time. The large and small fish of the Xiangjiang River, when they go upstream along the Wenming River, they cannot swim up when they reach Xinpiyan. When the fish that cannot swim in the weir meet the current of the fish passage in the water at the bottom of the dam, they will continue upstream along the fish channel, so as to complete the reproduction of the fish in the civilized river section. Xinpiyan has gone through vicissitudes, and the main project of the fish passage designed and built by Sha Wujing still maintains its original style. The different feeling is that now there are more than 10 barrages of different heights, made of cement, stones and sand, etc., in the section of the river from Xinpiyan to the entrance of the Xiangjiang River, about 50 miles, and the fish in the Xiangjiang River can no longer swim to Xinpiyan, and they will never have the opportunity to swim in the fishway of Xinpiyan.

The Xinpi Weir Dam, an ancient and practical water conservancy project made of red rock, still retains the main frame unchanged, and the water from the canals on both sides of the river continuously irrigates the rice fields and daylily fields on both banks. It's just that there are five to seven stones in the weir dam, which have been washed away by the water without a trace. (The photo is a real scene)

Before returning to Xiangjiang, the carp queen said to Monk Sha: "Master Sha monk, I came to Wenming River this time, and Ao Yan, the Dragon King of the West Sea, also gave me a special task!" ”

"The Dragon King of the West Sea, Ao Yan, also gave you a special mission?" The sand monk was confused.

"Ao Yan, the Dragon King of the West Sea, sent me to the Wenming River, a tributary of the Xiangjiang River, this time, in addition to asking you to build a fish passage, before leaving, he also asked me to hand over this 'red stone golden carp' to you."

"What kind of 'redstone golden carp'?"

The carp queen took out a red rock about 5 inches long and 3 inches high from her body and handed it to the sand monk.

Sha Seng took this red stone shaped like a golden carp, and felt that the carp was lifelike and vivid.

The carp queen said to Monk Sha: "This fossil is the thirteen treasures of Ao Yan, the Dragon King of the West Sea. ”

"The thirteenth prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea! What was his intention in turning the prince into a golden red carp? ”

"The Dragon King of the West Sea, Ao Yan, said that he asked his thirteenth prince to go to the mortal realm to temper and temper!"

"Let the prince go to the mortal realm to refine?"

"I can't tell you the mystery. He said that he wanted me to hand it over to you, and you would hand it over to your master Chen Xuanzang. ”

"Don't worry about this! It's definitely no problem to hand it over to the master! ”

"This time the mission is complete, I should go back to Xiangjianghe. Master Sha, see you again! ”

"See you again! Carp Queen! ”

The red rock held by the sand monk is actually the incarnation of the thirteenth prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea. One day, it will protect those who step on the "Seven Star Beidou" in the mortal world and become the founding emperor. After Monk Sha returned to the nunnery in Meitang, he immediately handed over the "Red Stone Golden Carp" to his master Chen Xuanzang. Before Tang monk Chen Xuanzang left Meitang, he handed over the "holy relics" such as "red stone golden carp" to Xiao (Xiao) Hanqing, the host of Antang.

When Monk Sha repaired the Xinpi weir dam and returned to the nunnery opposite Xianren Mountain, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening. After a few hours of exertion, Wujing felt very tired. At this time, the white dragon horse transformed into a white-bearded Taoist priest to teach the villagers of Zhushanyuan the art of brewing, and he had just returned to the nunnery to restore his original form. Sha Wujing took the white dragon horse to the "bottom well" Xian Spring bath.

Xianren Mountain is a mountain composed of blue and red rocks, which is the junction of the two major tectonic plates of the earth. At the foot of Xianren Mountain, there are more than 10 springs (eyes) of different sizes, constituting the Meitang Spring Group. They are a valuable resource that produces "Meitang Smoke and Rain". Among them, the largest spring (eye) source is called "the bottom well" by the locals. The "bottomed well" spring water flow is the largest, equivalent to the flow rate of a pipe with a diameter of half a meter. Where this spring flows, a small stream is formed. After Sha Wujing cleaned the whole body of the white dragon horse in the stream, he let the white dragon horse move freely. Sha Wujing sat on a bluestone slab and began to clean his hands, feet, and body. Sha Wujing's "foot cocoons" that he walked on foot for a long time fell off after being soaked in the spring water, and after falling into the water, he was desperately eaten by the loach fish in the spring water. As a result, a miracle appeared, all the small loach fish that had eaten the cocoon skin of the sand monk's feet, their bodies changed in an instant, and each of the small ones weighed four or five catties; Each of the large ones weighs about ten catties. Later, people called these "variant" loaches "eight-whiskered catfish". Eating eight-whiskered catfish has the effect of prolonging life and immortality. Locals treat this fish to guests as a treasure in the water. Today, this pure wild "eight-whiskered catfish" is nowhere to be found anywhere else on Earth. However, the "bottomless well" is the birthplace of this type of catfish, and they live leisurely in this holy water from generation to generation、、、、、、

After Monk Sha returned to the nunnery in Meitang, he immediately handed over the "Red Stone Golden Carp" to his master Chen Xuanzang. Before Tang monk Chen Xuanzang left Meitang, he handed over the "holy relics" such as "red stone golden carp" to Xiao Hanqing, the host of Antang. Therefore, this "red stone golden carp" is the first of the four holy relics of the dragon vein holy land of Tianzigang.
