Chapter 180: The Mountain Axe and the Water Sword

When I heard the name, it was a little strange, and my first impression was that it was just a legend.

How can the legend be true? Looking at the turtle shell in Uncle Shi's hand and his confident face, I kind of believe that what Uncle Shi said is true.

"Old Sun, this is ...... The above points and lines are really maps, marked with Dayu...... Where is Dayu's cemetery? ”

"Let me tell you the truth! Fifty years ago, I knew this thing existed, and I have been looking for it for the past fifty years, how could I be wrong? ”

"What, you've been looking for fifty years? But it's just a tomb, isn't it? Could it be that there are a lot of gold and silver treasures buried inside? ”

Uncle Shi smiled slightly, with an idiot-like expression on his face.

"What is the gold and silver baby! But it's right to say it's a baby! That's priceless! ”

As we walked west, we continued to listen to the story of King Dayu.

Of course, he saw all this on a certain tomb at the junction of yin and yang.

The tombstone records that after Dayu tamed the Yellow River, he became a hero.

The story of "Dayu controlling the water" has become a good story for the ages, and it has also created a generation of emperors. Some people say that Dayu is the first emperor of all dynasties in our country, and some people say that it should start from his son, but in any case, China's clan society has reached Dayu's generation, and it is an indisputable fact that power is highly centralized.

After the death of Dayu, the three magic weapons used to tame the river were buried in the tomb.

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but interrupt and ask my uncle: "The treasure you are talking about is this axe, sword and the map that marks the Yellow River?" ”

Uncle Shi snorted lightly and replied disdainfully, "Do you know what these three treasures do?" ”

I shook my head, indicating I didn't know.

"Let's talk about this mountain axe first! Maybe it's hard to believe, the mountain axe is the axe used by Pangu when he opened the world, this is an artifact! You can easily avoid the mountains, just like cutting melons and chopping vegetables, you only know that Dayu can successfully subdue the Yellow River is to use the method of 'channeling', but you don't want to think about it, he can think of it, why didn't Yao Shun think of it before? ”

Uncle Shi paused and continued: "Actually, Yao Shun is not unexpected, but he can't do it!" There must be at least a ditch to divert the river, right? ”

When he said this, I understood, and at the same time I was stunned!

But how can this be true? Could it be that Dayu took the so-called mountain axe and split a ditch?

I suddenly thought of the plot in "Baolian Lantern", so I asked my uncle: "Old grandson...... This...... This agarwood opens the mountain to save the mother, isn't it the axe that opens the mountain? ”

Uncle Shi smiled slightly, patted me on the shoulder and replied, "Although you kid is not highly educated, you know a lot of things!" Yes, according to legend, Agarwood also used the opening axe to split the gourd peak of Huashan and rescued his mother. I can tell you for sure that this legend is true! ”

All of a sudden, I was confused, how could this be! This Dayu and agarwood are not the same era! To be precise, Dayu is a person who exists in reality, and Agarwood is just a character in myths and legends.

Chen Laosan sneered and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there is more than one axe in this mountain!" ”

Uncle Shi nodded towards Chen Laosan and replied, "I feel more and more that you are a little scary, not bad!" There were originally two mountain axes in the world, one was the one that agarwood used to split the gourd peak of Huashan, but it's a pity! It was later lost. The other is the one that Dayu used to govern the Yellow River. ”

I nodded, still puzzled, so I asked again: "Even if these legends are true, what is the use of this mountain opening axe?" ”

I mean that the function of this mountain opening is okay for building roads and bridges, especially some roads through the mountain, with this mountain axe, you can save the use of explosives, saving time and effort. But we are all ordinary people, so why bother with these idleness?

"Useful! Hehe...... I can't tell you right now - but you should be able to imagine that this high priest did not hesitate to put so much effort into finding the tomb of Dayu? When I found the tomb of Dayu, I naturally wanted to find the three treasures buried in the tomb. ”

I think about it, when I left Xiaohe Village that evening, I saw hundreds of villagers from Xiaohe Village controlled by Gu poison on the riverbank, lining up into the river, I felt as if they were looking for something, but now when I heard these words from my uncle, I was suddenly shocked in my heart! Could it be that they are looking for the location of Dayu's tomb for the high priest?

I asked again what kind of sword it was.

Uncle Shi said that like the mountain axe, this sword also belongs to the ancient gods, and it is said that it can divide the water of a river into two halves, and people can walk in it freely.

Regarding the origin of this water-avoiding sword, Uncle Shi has investigated for many years, but he has not even found a word.

In myths and legends, there is something related to it.

It is said that the Queen Mother of the West has a hairpin that can be waved into a river, and in folklore, she used this hairpin to draw a Milky Way in the night sky and organize the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to meet.

In addition, there is a legend that Nezha once had a treasure similar to the water-avoiding sword, which could "split" the seawater. Nezha relied on this artifact to capture the Dragon Prince alive, skinned his dragon skin alive, and smoked his dragon tendons.

Listening to what Uncle Shi said, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was possible! At this moment, many fragments are connected.

All of this revolves around the mysterious Yellow River!

The story about Dayu should start with the previous story of Uncle Shi in the illusory land.

Dayu must have been instructed by a master, went to the fantasy land at the junction of yin and yang, and entered the incomparably huge banyan tree, at that time, there should not be so many graves in the illusory place (Uncle Shi also said, where countless cemeteries are gradually accumulated over the years after Chi You arrived at Dayu), maybe Dayu in addition to the Yellow River spring opened in the big banyan tree, but also found the water sword and the mountain axe.

Later, Hebo gave him Luohe Tu again, and only then did he gather these three treasures.

Next up is his water control. Of course, there must have been many, many stories in between, but now they have long been dissipated in the wind of the Yellow River.

Even now, the story of Dayu's water control is also a household name, what "three through the door and not entering" what "leading the people to dig ditches and ditches", these true and false are difficult to distinguish, in fact, the truth and falsehood are not important to what we want to tell.

Dayu used these three treasures to tame the Yellow River, became famous, and was buried in the Yellow River after his death.

There is no record of the cause of Dayu's death in history, but it is recorded in some remote history books that he lived for hundreds of years and finally became a river god......

Very few people only know that he is buried in the Yellow River, but no one knows what kind of cemetery it is. According to our ordinary people's thinking, the river is full of silt, how can we build tombs!

If it was before, I would have thought the same way, but after experiencing so many things, I deeply feel the mystery of the Yellow River, and sometimes I feel that it is not an ordinary river, but a living dragon......

As we spoke, we walked to the embankment of the Yellow River, facing the rolling Yellow River, the expression on Uncle Shi's face instantly became serious, he slowly raised the turtle shell in his hand, and slowly knelt down with a reverent face.

Chen Laosan and I didn't know why, so we had to watch him quietly.

After kowtowing three heads, Uncle Shi suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist and slashed it on the finger of his left hand, and blood gushed out immediately.

Now, I can't understand it anymore......

"Old Sun...... You're ......."

He smiled slightly, put his bloody fingers on the turtle shell, and a magical scene happened.

With the blood dripping onto the turtle shell drop by drop, the lines and dots on the turtle shell instantly moved slowly as if they had life, and then formed a pattern, Uncle Shi looked at the figure on the turtle shell, and a smile appeared on his face.

"No wonder this thousand-year-old zombie will choose to make waves in Xiaohe Village! It turns out that this Dayu tomb is here! ”

Uncle Shi pointed to an "S"-shaped section of the river not far away.

I knew there was a bend here, though I hadn't been there.

Our area belongs to the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and the entire North China Plain can be said to be a flat river, and the Yellow River is also straight as if measured with a ruler. It stands to reason that rivers on such terrain should not have bends, but in fact there really is such a bend, and it has existed for thousands of years.

Later, I heard from a few old fishermen in the neighborhood that everyone in the area who makes a living from fishing knows the secret that you can't catch a single fish near the bend of the Yellow River, even if it's a small fry the size of a fingernail.

This has become an open secret within a radius of dozens of miles.

There are also people who do not believe in this evil, and prepare all kinds of fishing nets, and fish in this bend of the Yellow River for a day, until the sun sets, still nothing is found. This person is a cow, very stubborn, look at the sky, still don't give up, ready to "pick up the lights and fight at night".

At this time, there were suddenly several thunderbolts in the sunny sky, as if someone was shouting at him in the sky, "Go back", and the man was so frightened that he hurriedly drove away.

There is another very strange thing that happened in this section of the river.

It's also about a family in the neighborhood.

Once, the daughter-in-law of this family went back to her parents' house, and when she came back, she came by boat, because it was late that day, and she was alone on the boat.

In that era, this kind of thing happened from time to time, and there were few good stubbles who ran boats all year round, and they basically did murder and overselling.

The little daughter-in-law naturally swore to the death, and after a few struggles, her blouse had been removed. It's about to be lost.

You must know that there was a saying in that era that "fame is more important than life", and if a daughter is not honored, she will not be able to live at all......

At this moment, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared in the otherwise calm river, causing the boat to spin and circle until finally both of them lost consciousness.

Later, after dark, the little lady's family saw that she had not returned home, so they searched all the way along the Yellow River, and saw her unconscious on the beach by the bend of the Yellow River.

After the family woke her up, the little lady touched her clothes and was shocked: the clothes were dry!
