Chapter Sixty-Nine: Measuring the Ruler
Water control is the world's first priority, Emperor Shun sent the most elite people in the country to cooperate with Dayu. With the progress of water control, the whole of China became passive, and all the tribes, property and manpower had to make way for water control, and a resource and countless manpower throughout the Yellow River and Yangtze River basin were formed. The one who controls all this is Dayu.
Since then, the life and death of the various tribes, promotion and retreat, are related to water control, the use of property, and everything gives way to water control, Dayu as the leader of water control, has all the property and power. And the possession of these possessions and power allows Dayu to control more tribes invisibly. As a result, Dayu gradually de facto mastered the entire Yellow River. Dayu's reputation has risen, and his majesty and light have overshadowed Dishun.
At this point, it is already a high achievement, Emperor Shun has been alert to him, at this time there are two roads in front of Dayu, one is to continue to be his courtier, if you are lucky, you will be allocated, if you are not lucky, it is a dead end, of course, there is another, take these people who are obedient to him back to Yanjing, and grasp the real power. So when the river was dredged, the Yellow River rushed into the sea, Dayu began to move, he knew that his biggest obstacle was the ghosts and witches around him, the ghosts and witches were always in charge of the world's ghosts and gods, and the tribes on both sides of the Yellow River worshipped him as a god, but he was extremely loyal to Emperor Shun.
So at a celebratory banquet, Dayu took advantage of the ghost witch to kill the ghost and the two ghost servants around him, that is, the nine-headed monster next to him, and another stone statue, and used a secret method to block the seven orifices on his body, the soul was sealed in the body, and his body was forced into the stone statue carved for him, Dayu has divine power, has long been prepared for this day, opened a cave under the Yellow River, built a temple, and pressed the ghost and witch forever underneath, and never turned over.
But the power of the ghosts and witches in charge of the world's ghosts and gods is really powerful, and after doing all this, Dayu is still not at ease, so he sent Yinglong to guard this place, and even used the artifact to measure the sky to suppress the ghosts and witches, and then led people towards Yanjing.
Thousands of years have passed.
Scene after scene, that's what is presented, Lin Qi was dumbfounded, he only felt that the things in the world were really ridiculous to the extreme, the legendary Dayu turned out to be a usurper?
A faint sigh sounded: "Do you believe it?" ”
Lin Qi was stunned for a while, and asked, "You are so powerful, why don't you go out?" ”
"I tried many times, but I was suppressed by the measuring ruler, the measuring ruler is an artifact, I lost my physical body, my mana was greatly reduced, I couldn't shake it, and now I am even weaker, when you came in, it was my last fight, I no longer had the strength to go out, and I was subjected to the five-color divine light of the measuring ruler, and my soul was invaded, and it will not exist for a long time."
Lin Qi was smart, thought about the cause and effect, and understood what was going on, and asked, "You brought me here, and you want me to pull out that ruler for you, right?" ”
"Yes, but you are just an ordinary man, your strength is too weak, you can't pull out the measuring scale, this is my last chance, no matter how you try, I am unwilling, I am not willing to let Dayu's disobedient thief get this world, I want to go out, I want to explain the truth to the tribes on both sides of the Yellow River, as long as they see me, they will believe me, submit to me, help me kill back Yanjing, and recapture Emperor Shun's country."
Speaking of this, the one-eyed stone paused and asked, "What is the name of Dayu's country?" ”
Lin Qi said: "The book says that Emperor Shun was ceded by Zen to Dayu, and later Dayu passed the throne to his son Xia Qi, which led to the Great Xia Dynasty." ”
The one-eyed stone man sneered, "I knew it would be like this." Then he asked in surprise: "You mean Dayu is dead?" ”
Lin Qi was excited, and secretly scolded himself for being confused, how could he tell the truth, the ghost witch has been suppressed under the Yellow River for thousands of years, if he tells him the truth, thousands of years have passed, and the Great Xia Dynasty has long since disappeared, and now the world is the world of the Mongols, will he lose hope and kill himself in a rage?
Lin Qi hurriedly said: "Yes, Dayu is dead, but his son Xia Qi is still alive." ”
The ghost witch sighed and said: "No matter what Dayu thinks, he is a real hero after all, a good man, if he is still alive, the world is in the heart, it is really difficult to deal with, Emperor Shun is still alive now?" ”
"Alive, alive, able to eat, able to sleep, the old man's body is as good as a strong young man." Lin Qi didn't blink, and came as soon as he opened his mouth. But in his heart, he said: Could it be that the ghost and witch are trapped in this place stupid? Thousands of years have passed, and I still ask Emperor Shun if he is alive? After thinking about it, it suddenly dawned on him that time in this ghost place is the most meaningless thing, not to mention ghosts, even he doesn't know how long he has been here, sometimes it feels like thousands of years have passed, but sometimes it feels like it's just a short moment.
Lin Qi didn't know how many thoughts had turned in his mind, and asked: "Ghost and witch seniors, you and I have no grievances, I also accidentally came here, since you were able to open the bronze gate before, you must be able to now, why don't you open the stone gate and let me out, I will tell the tribes on both sides of the Yellow River that you are still alive, let them also rescue you out, and when you go out, tell them the truth, Dayu is dead again, these tribes still don't listen to you, when the time comes, take someone to find that Xia Qi, and help Emperor Shun recapture the country, wouldn't it be good?" ”
The ghost witch was silent for a long time, and sighed: "It's all because I'm confused, why didn't I think of this." But it's too late, and I don't have the strength to open the bronze door. ”
When Lin Qi heard that he couldn't get out anymore, he immediately became angry, and shouted loudly to the ghost witch: "I'm just a mortal, what are you bringing me in for, just bring it in, it's not my fault that I can't pull out the ruler, don't you can't pull it out, why don't you spare some strength, so you can let me out!" ……”
The ghost witch looked at him coldly, and said: "It's useless for you to be angry, just like me, I was also angry when I was killed by Dayu, and later I learned that anger is the most useless thing, if you want to go out, you can only pull out the measuring ruler, only by pulling out the measuring ruler I can gather the last strength to help you, if you can't pull it out, you are here with me." ”
Lin Qi scolded: "What are you doing with you?" You're an old ghost, I'm still young, I haven't lived enough......" Lin Qi jumped like thunder, pointing at the ghost and witch in the blue light and shadow and scolding loudly, at this time he was not afraid, it didn't work to be afraid, he couldn't get out anyway. Thinking there, after scolding twice, the ghost and witch gradually faded away, and disappeared into the one-eyed stone statue again.
After scolding Lin Qi was also bored, he sat on the ground with a butt, and looked at the measuring ruler in front of him in a daze, listening to the ghost witch say that this ruler was an artifact, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see where the black ruler god was.
"Damn, isn't it just a broken ruler, I don't believe that I can't pull you out." Lin Qi was ruthless, stood up and strode to the ruler, grabbed it with both hands, and pulled it up vigorously, as soon as he moved, the usually black ruler suddenly emitted a faint five-colored light, like five sharp knives, piercing his palm, Lin Qi was in pain, and let go, and the ruler changed back to its original appearance.
With a lesson, Lin Qi didn't dare to touch the ruler for a while, everything returned to its original appearance, the ghost and witch were not there, the temple was still dark and lonely, Lin Qi began to be stunned again, and I don't know how long it had been, Lin Qi felt that his clothes were small again, so he suddenly missed the ghost and witch very much, at least someone talked to him, no matter how bizarre and incredible he said, it was better than being surrounded by boundless loneliness every day.
"Ghost witch, ghost witch, come out, let's talk again...... no one answered him, and after calling for a long time, the blue light never appeared again, so Lin Qi began to curse again......
Tired of scolding, he began to look at the ruler again and was stunned, and after he was stunned, he went to grab the ruler again, and every time he was stabbed by the light emitted by the ruler, every time the blood invaded the ruler, and the cycle continued, back and forth, Lin Qi didn't know how many times he pulled it out, and he didn't know how much blood he had shed, and the strange thing was that no matter how much blood the ruler absorbed, it was still black.
Finally, I don't know that after tens of thousands of failures, after absorbing Lin Qi's palm to donate blood, he shook slightly, Lin Qi was surprised, and then he tried hard, but he didn't move, is it an illusion? Or is it true? Lin Qi didn't know, but he was more diligent in pulling out the ruler, and he didn't know how many times the palm of his hand had been pierced, and Lin Qi didn't care, the cold and scorching pain had survived, what was this pain?
So the ruler moved again, this time Lin Qi really felt it, and shouted loudly in surprise: "Ghost witch, ghost witch, the ruler has moved, I said okay, you want to help me, is it still a word?" ”
"Of course it's true, but you have to pull out the measuring ruler first, I will help you go out to exhaust the last remnants of the soul, it will disappear, there is no such thing as this world, you have to promise me to tell the truth to the tribes on both sides of the Yellow River, so that they can raise troops to overthrow the dynasty established by Dayu, and let the world return to Emperor Shun again." If you don't promise me, I won't help you even if you pull out the ruler. ”
Lin Qi rolled his eyes and asked, "I promise you, I will definitely tell the truth about you under the Yellow River to the various tribes, and when they see your idol, they should believe it." But I'm a little talker, will they believe what I say? I can't blame you if you don't believe me! ”
"It's okay, after I help you, it's gone, and I can teach you everything I will, so they will believe in you."
"That's a good idea, but what would you do?"
"I'll exorcise the demons."
"God, you are also motivated?"
"God is a big ghost, there are people in this world, then there are ghosts, and then there are gods, gods are just big ghosts with profound power, as long as you learn my skills, all the ghosts and gods in the world will listen to your call, and you will also have the ability to teach ghosts and gods, help them not suffer from reincarnation, and transcend the Tao."
"Is it really that powerful?"
"Yes, do you learn?"
Lin Qi smiled bitterly: "Do I have anything else to do now besides pulling out a ruler?" Of course I learn! ”
