Chapter 85 The truth about Dayu's water control
Looking at Chunting's reaction, Shen Lang's guess should not be groundless, so to speak, the entanglement between Guanshan and weak water has actually started since the mythological period.
Since Guanshan is named after Buzhou Mountain, it must be that the name of the weak water comes from the flood that raged in the Yellow River.
We looked at Chunting like children, waiting for him to tell him what happened next, and Chunting didn't let us wait long, he said the story with emotion.
The story of Nuwa mending the sky is well known, but the events that follow have never been recorded.
Gonggong was angry and touched the mountain, Nuwa couldn't bear to be ruined, and used five-colored stones to fill the loopholes in the sky, and cut off the four legs of Shenao to stabilize the four poles of heaven and earth.
Even if Nuwa fills the sky with five-colored stones and stabilizes the four poles with Shenao's four legs, it is still inevitable that the sky will fall to the northwest and the earth will sink to the southeast.
Even though Nuwa has great divine power, she still can't change the status quo of Shenzhou's damage, and in desperation, she can only do her best to protect the four-level barrier of Shenzhou and the remaining half of the heavenly pillar with supreme divine power, and at the same time pass down the decree and order Emperor Yu to be born from Buzhou Mountain and protect Shenzhou.
Qi Zhi listened with relish and couldn't help asking.
"Dayu is really from Buzhou Mountain?"
"The land of the unscrupulous, which is connected to the heavens, and in it is the man of God."
Chunting nodded, not dissatisfied with Qi Zhi's interruption, but opened his mouth to explain.
"Buzhou Mountain is originally the middle pole of the heavenly pillar, according to legend, it can be communicated with the heavens, although I don't know whether this statement is true or not, but Buzhou Mountain is indeed more abundant than the outside world, suitable for cultivators to practice here."
"Therefore, since ancient times, there has always been a vein in this Buzhou Mountain, which is to protect the pillar of heaven and practice with peace of mind, and Emperor Yu is the person in this vein."
After explaining, Chunting's eyes became sharp, and he continued in an unkind tone.
Emperor Yu was ordered by Nuwa to never be born in Zhoushan, and at the same time as Emperor Yu was born, weak water appeared, or the original weak water appeared.
At this time, there was no name for Guanshan, and there was only one person who guarded the Shenzhou, Emperor Yu, and the weak water had also not formed a scale, and there was only one person.
This person doesn't know where he comes from, and he doesn't know what his identity is, but with the purpose of subverting Shenzhou as his own purpose, he has a profound Taoism, and takes advantage of the defects in Shenzhou after Gonggong's anger touches the Zhou Mountain, and secretly manipulates the Yellow River.
On both sides of the Yellow River, the flood is boundless, and several important rivers are washed by the flood at the same time and begin to burst, called natural disasters, which are really man-made disasters, and Shenzhou is full of devastation, and the very weak human beings at that time are almost extinct.
The Yellow River flooded up and down, flooding crops and hills, displacing people from their homes and bringing untold disasters to the world, with death and plague enveloping the river known as the Mother River.
The Yellow River is the birthplace of Chinese civilization and the mother river in the hearts of countless people, and its position in Shenzhou is extremely important.
If someone uses the grievances of the unjustly killed people in the war of Shenzhou as a blade, with their bones as the edge, and their blood as sacrifices, they can refine a peerless fierce soldier, so as to break the protective barrier between the Heavenly Pillar and Shenzhou, and let the living beings in the world be ruined and return to chaos.
Seeing this, Emperor Yu vaguely guessed that someone was making trouble in secret, but he had no choice but to do so, he had no time to investigate, so he could only start to deal with the flood as soon as possible.
But even if Emperor Yu came from Buzhou Mountain and had the supreme divine passage method, there was still no way to face this raging flood.
In desperation, he returned to Buzhou Mountain alone to ask for help, and when he came out of Buzhou Mountain again, there were already two more people around him.
Xue Nan interrupted Chunting's words excitedly, looking like a child who had guessed the secret.
"It's Boyi and Houji!"
Chunting nodded, did not explain, and continued.
Boyi and Houji are not ordinary people, like Emperor Yu, they are extraordinary people in the Zhou Mountain, the three of them traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers of the Central Plains, and finally thought of a new way to channel and control the water, the main point of which is to dredge the waterway, so that the water can flow smoothly east into the sea.
But since the myths and legends are all real stories, many demons and monsters recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas will naturally not let Emperor Yu control the floods steadily.
Fortunately, Emperor Yu's Taoism is profound, he is extremely powerful, and on the way to control the floods, he has killed the hydra Xiangliu and suppressed the water monkey Wuzhiqi.
When Shen Lang heard this, he finally couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Hydra, I know, what kind of monster is this Wuzhiqi?"
"Yes, you're asking the point again."
Chun Ting smiled mysteriously, and seemed to be very satisfied with Shen Lang.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas records: 'The water beast is good for harm, Yu is locked under the military mountain, its name is Wuzhiqi, its shape is like an ape, golden eyes and snow teeth, light and sudden'."
Ling Xuan may have watched Chun Ting's words for too long, and he knew what this Wuzhi Qi was, so Chun Ting's words began to explain to us.
"Wuzhiqi is a mythical water monster, he can speak well, know the depth of the river and Huaishui, as well as the height of the terrain, shaped like an ape, collapsed nose, convex forehead, white head and green body, fiery eyes, head and neck up to 100 feet, strength more than nine elephants, often in Huaishui to make waves, endanger the people."
I looked at Qi Zhi with strange eyes, why did this sound so similar to that monkey named Wushuang?
Ling Xuan didn't pay attention to my strange reaction, he saw that Chun Ting had no opinion, and continued to tell us this story of Wu Zhiqi.
"Legend has it that Dayu in order to control the flood, three times to Tongbai Mountain, but every time you come to Tongbai Mountain, this mountain will be stormy, lightning and thunder, there will always be an invisible tyrannical force, to prevent Dayu from starting to control the water."
"After Dayu sent Kui Long to investigate carefully, he found that it was the Huai River water monster Wuzhi Qi to blame, so he summoned the gods and launched a vicious battle under Tongbai Mountain, and finally captured Wuzhi Qi by the god Gengchen, but although Wuzhi Qi has been caught, he still fights and jumps, and no one can control it."
Chun Ting took Ling Xuan's words at this time and continued to speak.
In the end, Emperor Yu locked the neck of Wuzhi Qi with a big iron rope, took the golden bell to wear it on the nose of this water monster, and suppressed him at the foot of Huaiyin Turtle Mountain, since then Huaishui has calmly flowed into the East China Sea, this is the story of the legendary "Yu Wang Lock Jiao", and since then there is a famous "Zhiqi Well" by the Huaishui side.
It is precisely because of this water monster that Emperor Yu remembered to record what he saw and heard along the way, and let Boyi and Houji sort out and write a book in the world.
Chunting stopped when he said this, and looked at us without saying a word.
We listened to this story in the clouds, and seeing that Chunting did not mean to continue to speak, I frowned and said to myself in confusion.
"The story of Dayu's water control is well known, even if there are so many unknown insiders, but in essence, it is still Dayu's water control, what can this have to do with the weak water of Guanshan in the Northern and Southern Dynasties?"
Chunting heard my doubts, he looked at everyone, found that everyone had the same expression as me, turned around and went out, and when he came back, he was already holding a map in his hand, throwing the map in my hand, and thinking about it.
"You yourself mark the route of Chen Qingzhi's Northern Expedition on the map, and then compare it with the route I said Emperor Yu used to control the water, and see if you can find anything."
I tentatively took a pen and sketched the curve of the two on the map, and sure enough, I paid off!
