Chapter 355: Yu Temple

The wrist-thick bronze chain inlay, one end embedded in the black rock wall, and the other end inserted into the top of the Guwang Temple, like the entire building being bolted up by bronze chains, giving a sense of "falling from the sky, domineering leaking".

Thinking of everything I saw in the Gu King Temple in the 100,000 Great Mountains and Canyons, my scalp was a little hairy.

A huge question mark popped up in my mind - isn't this a tomb, how can there be a Gu King Temple in the depths of the tomb? Thinking that there is a statue of a god in the Gu King Temple in Zhangjiajie that looks the same as me, I don't know what strange objects are in the Gu King Temple in front of me!

In fact, I was very frightened, afraid of seeing an unreasonable scene.

"Jinghan, let's ...... Are we really going in? ”

Wu Jinghan nodded resolutely: "Go in!" Since the uncle let us go ashore, there should be his reason, and there is another point, why did the uncle risk entering the thirteen caves of the Yellow River? Have you thought about it! ”

"Have you thought about itβ€”do you think that your uncle's entry into the Thirteen Caves of the Yellow River has something to do with this building?"

"Quite possibly! Anyway, since you're here, there's no reason not to go in and have a look. ”

Reasonable.

glanced at the uncle with his eyes closed, thought about Wu Jinghan's words again, and gritted his teeth: "Okay!" Then go in and check it out! ”

"Strange! How is this Gu King Temple white! ”

As I was about to enter the Gu King Temple, I noticed another strange thing: when I got closer, I saw that the building in front of me was white as a whole, and the surface was flake-like, each of which was half a square meter in size, as if it was glued with pieces of large white tiles.

I hugged my unconscious uncle, took Wu Jinghan's hand and went straight to the temple gate.

Because the light in the cave was dim, I walked into it, and I noticed that the shape of the temple gate was also quite strange, like two huge shells standing up.

"Oh my God!"

I was stunned when I suddenly heard Wu Jinghan beside me exclaim.

"What's wrong?"

Wu Jinghan glared and opened her mouth wide: "This is ...... This is the Fishbone Temple! ”

After speaking, without waiting for me to react, he let go of my hand and walked quickly to the temple gate.

I quickly followed, and the closer I got, the more I felt that they were two large shells tied upright to the wall.

I reached out and touched the temple door, and it was indeed made of two huge shellsβ€”there were such large shells in the world!

My attention was on the huge door, and I suddenly heard Wu Jinghan in front of me exclaim again: "This ...... It's not just a fishbone temple, it's a ...... It's still a Yu temple! ”

I hurriedly turned around, and saw a huge statue erected in the temple, three meters high, this is a man, looking like a tiger's back, eyes like copper bells, mouth like a blood basin, holding a big axe in his left hand, a long sword in the other hand, and a big turtle under his left foot.

"Jinghan, what did you say? Yuwang Temple? What is Yuwang Temple? ”

Wu Jinghan's face was full of excitement, and he glanced at me: "Have you heard the story of Dayu's water control?" ”

I was also unconvinced: "Look at what you said, it seems that elementary school students know this, right?" ”

Wu Jinghan smiled slightly: "But most of them don't know that there is another version of Dayu's water control." ”

"Oh? What does the other version mean? ”

Legend has it that Dayu's success in governing the Yellow River is because there are three treasures: one is the river map, the second is the mountain axe, and the third is the water sword. Legend has it that the river map is the ...... "5599" granted to Dayu by the Yellow River god Hebo

Very early on, there was a man named Xiao Nengnai by the Yellow River, who was not at ease with farming and wanted to become an immortal. He had heard that a person who drank the juice of daffodils for a hundred days could turn into immortal bodies. So I looked for daffodils everywhere.

Before Dayu governed the Yellow River, the Yellow River flowed to the Central Plains, there was no fixed river, it flowed everywhere, and it often flooded. There are seven strands and eight channels on the ground, and the ditches and ditches are all the water of the Yellow River. Xiao Nengnai ran around looking for daffodils, so he often crossed the Yellow River, crossed the Yellow River, crossed the Yellow River, and often dealt with the Yellow River. Ninety-nine days have passed in the blink of an eye, find another daffodil, suck the juice of the daffodil for a day, and you will become an immortal. Xiao Neng was very proud, and crossed the Yellow River to a small village to look for daffodils. The water here is not deep, and Xiao Neng wades through the river, and when he reaches the middle of the river, suddenly the river rises. He panicked, slipped under his feet, fell into the Yellow River, and drowned alive.

After Xiao Nengnai died, he was aggrieved and resentful, gritted his teeth and hated the Yellow River, so he went to the Jade Emperor to sue the Yellow River. The Jade Emperor was also very annoyed when he heard that the Yellow River was undisciplined, and that it was spreading wild everywhere, endangering the people. He saw that Xiao Nengnai had sucked the juice of daffodils for ninety-nine days, and it was time to become an immortal, so he asked Xiao Nengnai if he was willing to be the god of water in the Yellow River and govern the Yellow River. The little ability is overjoyed. Full of promises. This is the wish to become an immortal, and the second is to avenge being drowned.

Xiao Nengnai became the water god of the Yellow River, known as Hebo. He had never been subjected to water control, and he suddenly took on the task of controlling the Yellow River, and he was helpless and worried.

What to do? He is shallow, and he doesn't have any magic weapons and immortal skills, so he has to go to the Jade Emperor to ask for advice. The Jade Emperor told him that in order to manage the Yellow River well, it is necessary to first find out the water situation of the Yellow River and draw a river map.

According to the guidance of the Jade Emperor, Hebo was determined to draw a river map, and he went to his hometown first, wanting to ask the villagers for help. The villagers hated him for being lazy and hardworking, and no one paid attention to him.

He found the bearded old man in the village and told him about his ambition to control the Yellow River. The bearded old man saw that he was now an immortal and wanted to do something good for the people, so he agreed to help him. Since then, Hebo and the long-bearded old man have come and gone in the wind and rain, trekking through mountains and rivers, and inspecting the water conditions of the Yellow River. The two of them ran for several years, and the old man with the long beard was tired and sick.

The bearded old man had no choice but to go back, leaving Hebo to continue to inspect the water situation along the Yellow River. When they broke up, the bearded old man repeatedly told Hebo that the officers should work to the end, not give up halfway, and start to govern the Yellow River after drawing a picture, but there were not enough people, so he persuaded the villagers to help.

Checking the water situation and drawing a map of the river is a chore. By the time Hebo drew the river picture, he was already old and frail. He Bo looked at the river map, where is the Yellow River deep and where is shallow; Where it is good to rush the embankment, where it is easy to break the pass; Where to dig, where to block; Where the water can be cut off, where the flood can be drained, the painting is clear. I can only sigh that I don't have the strength to manage the Yellow River according to the map, and I am very sad. He Bo thought that one day there would be capable people to govern the Yellow River, and at that time, he would not worry in vain if he gave him the river map.

Since then, Hebo has spent his old age under the Yellow River and has never shown up again. Unexpectedly, the Yellow River rose again and again and flooded repeatedly. The people knew that the Jade Emperor sent Hebo to control the water, but they didn't see him, and they all scolded Hebo for not doing his duty, regardless of whether the people lived or died.

The bearded old man looked forward to Hebo every day on the hospital bed, and he didn't see each other for many years. He was not at ease about the management of the Yellow River, and wanted to go to Hebo. His son's name is Yi, and he shoots arrows with a hundred shots.

No matter what the bearded old man said, Yi didn't let him go to Hebo. The bearded old man did not listen to his son's dissuasion, but when he encountered the breach of the Yellow River, he was washed away and drowned, and his body was not even found. Hou Yi hated Hebo very much, gritted his teeth and said that he would shoot Hebo to death sooner or later.

Later, when Dayu came out to control the water, Hebo decided to give him the Yellow River map.

On this day, Hebo heard that Dayu came to the Yellow River with a mountain axe and a sword to avoid water, so he came out of the water with a river map to find Dayu. Hebo and Dayu have never met, and no one knows anyone. He Bo walked for a long time, and was so tired that he wanted to take a rest, when he saw a young man walking on the other side of the river. This young man is heroic and majestic, presumably Dayu, and Hebo shouted and asked: "Hey, who are you?" ”

The young man on the other side is not Dayu, but Houyi. He looked up and saw an old man on the other side of the river shouting, so he asked, "Who are you?" ”

He Bo said in a loud voice, "I am Hebo." Are you Dayu? ”

When Hou Yi heard that it was Hebo, he immediately became angry, sneered, and said, "I am Dayu." ”

Saying that, he opened his bow and set up an arrow, and without asking about the indiscriminate situation, he "swished" an arrow and shot Hebo in the left eye. Hebo pulled out an arrow to cover his eyes, sweating in pain. scolded in his heart: "Bastard Dayu, so unreasonable!" The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he tore up the water picture. At this moment, a shout suddenly came: "Hebo! Don't tear the picture. ”

He Bo couldn't bear to look with his right eye, and a man wearing a hat on the other side stopped Hou Yi. This person is Dayu, he knows that Hebo has drawn a map of the Yellow River, and he is about to ask Hebo for advice. Hou Yi pushed Dayu away, and wanted to take an arrow and open a bow. Dayu dragged him to death and told him about the hardships of Hebo's drawing, and Hou Yi regretted that he was reckless and shot Hebo's left eye.

Hou Yi crossed the river with Dayu. Hou Yi confessed his mistake to Hebo. He Bo knew that Hou Yi was the son of a bearded old man, and he didn't blame him much. Dayu said to Hebo: "I am Dayu, and I came to you to ask for advice on how to govern the Yellow River." ”

He Bo said: "My hard work and the method of controlling the river are all on this map, so I will give it to you now." ”

Dayu exhibition map to see, the map is densely packed, circles dotted, the Yellow River up and down, left and right, the water situation is clearly drawn. Dayu was very happy. He wanted to thank Hebo, as soon as he looked up, Hebo had long since disappeared when he jumped into the Yellow River.

Dayu got the water map of the Yellow River, day and night, according to the instructions on the map, and finally governed the Yellow River.

In order to thank and commemorate Dayu, the descendants built the Yu Temple for him.

It is said that the statue of Dayu enshrined in the Yu Temple is holding the mountain axe in one hand, holding the water sword in the other hand, and stepping on the huge turtle engraved with the Luohe god map.

"However, Yuwang Temple is only recorded in the history books, it is said that in the period of Wuhu Chaohua, after the last Yu Temple on the side of the Yellow River collapsed, there is no Yu Temple in the world."

This story shocked me a little: "What you said is too ...... It's so mysterious, like a mythical story. ”

Wu Jinghan looked at the huge stone statue of Yushen: "Mythology? Ancient times may be some kind of mythological era, or maybe it is just passed down from generation to generation, adding oil and vinegar to the real myths, making it plausible. ”
