Chapter 20 Weak Water
Schenk looked at Weichen appreciatively, and then began to fiddle with the small flag in his hand again, bowing his head and groaning. Seeing that the senior brother didn't say anything more, Weichen didn't mean to let him go, so he slowly found a chair and sat down. After a while, Di Xiuxiu walked into the room after arranging the formation, and looked at the silent two very strangely. At this time, Schenk looked up at them and asked, "What do you think of this Director Zhao?"
Di Xiuxiu smiled, first wiped it on her face and then gestured twice on her chest, and then turned her head to look at Weichen. Weichen also nodded after seeing Di Xiuxiu's gesture, and said in a deep voice, "I have the same opinion as Senior Sister, he is very well disguised, and his cultivation is very high, we can't see through it." ”
"Well, it's really well disguised. After saying this, there was no follow-up, I don't know if I remembered something again, "Is the formation in place?"
Di Xiuxiu gestured OK.
Weichen looked at the senior brother and wanted to ask something, but he felt that there would be no answer, so he twisted his body a little uneasily. Schenck looked at Weichen, who wanted to say nothing, and threw the small flag in his hand to the door casually, and the small flag disappeared. "What do you want to say?"
"Senior brother, what is that Director Zhao doing with Ding Cong? And he has to stare at and ask what happened?" Weichen felt that there were some things that the master should still not tell him, and the senior brother should be able to know something.
"Xiuxiu, you go and look at Ding Cong first" Shen Ke said to Di Xiuxiu first, and then turned to Weichen and asked, "Did the master tell you about the origin of the Shangyuan ruins?"
"Nope. ”
"Well, well, I'll hear it from you. The Shangyuan site can be said to be the capital of the Shang people. At that time, Zhaoming, the son of King Qixuan, was sent to the area of Tushi to open up territory for Dayu, the king of Xia, and no one dared to disagree with Dayu's prestige and power. After Xia Qi succeeded to the throne, he gradually indulged in singing and dancing, and the political affairs were endless, and the prestige of the four seas was not as good as that of Dayu. Zhaoming also gradually developed a desire for revenge, so he began to expand his sphere of influence and accumulate strength. Due to Zhaoming's hard work, the strength of the Shang clan was already among the best among the subordinate tribes of the Xia Dynasty. After Zhaoming's death, Xiangtu succeeded to the throne, and inherited his father's will and began to stare at the Xia Dynasty in the south, waiting for the opportunity. At this time, Xia Qi passed away, Taikang succeeded to the throne, and Taikang, the king of Xia, was also the master who was addicted to wine and did not practice political affairs, which led to the intensification of internal contradictions in the country, and the various subordinate tribes of the Xia Dynasty also had the intention of betrayal. Xiangtu saw the opportunity to go south and expand to the east, and the Shangyuan site was the capital of Xiangtu's southward journey. ”
Schenck slowly told the origin of the Shangyuan ruins, and Weichen was confused. He also knows this history, but it's just a companion, so it's not so important? Seeing Weichen's blank face, Schenk continued.
"Back then, Dayu won the country because of his great contribution to water control and won the hearts of the people. But how many years does it take for Dayu to control the water?" Schenk asked with a slightly meaningful look at Weichen.
"Thirteen years, wait, I know, thirteen years of governing the Central Plains water system, and all of them are drained into the sea!" Wei Chen was a little surprised after thinking about it for a while. "Dealing with the flood in such a short period of time, unless there is the help of the mighty, but what does it have to do with the Shang clan?" then asked with a frown.
"There is indeed great power or sectarian help, as for who it is difficult to say, but someone gave the Hetuluo book to Dayu, plus Dayu is the great-great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor, holding the mountain axe and the water sword and other artifacts, to control the flood of course is invincible. However, it is precisely because Dayu is admired for his meritorious work in controlling the water, and there is an artifact in his hand, so the whole world is afraid. Later, Dayu also relied on his own fame and strength to ignore the Zen system, and finally passed the throne to his son Qi. Schenck said with a sigh, as if he deeply regretted Dayu's unwisdom.
"That, senior brother, you also know that I am curious and a little impatient, can we finish everything at once. What does it have to do with the Shangyuan Ruins?" "If it weren't for the fear of Senior Brother, Weichen would have jumped a long time ago."
Schenk looked at Weichen and didn't speak, but a soft light flashed in his eyes, and he continued.
Qi and Yao's father was Emperor Yu, and Emperor Yu was the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor, but after Yao succeeded to the throne, he did not care too much about his half-brother, but passed the throne to the more talented instant. Instantly the great-great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor, but the ability to govern the world is outstanding, during the reign of the world is peaceful, the wind and rain are smooth, and the grains are abundant.
It was not until the flooding of the Central Plains that the treatment was fruitless, and it was spread to the cang. And Dayu was also assisting during the flood control, as Yao's youngest brother, Qi was also ordered to participate in the water control. In the end, Dayu was greatly reinvigorated because of the reputation of water control, and Kun passed the throne to Dayu according to the people's will, and the deed was also recommended as Situ because of the merit of water control, the fief was Shang, and the clan was Shang.
But Qi's talents don't stop there, from smelting to pottery to agriculture, and even more remarkable is his mastery of astronomy and astronomy. As the talent of the contract was gradually revealed, he was deeply suspicious of instant, Kun, Dayu and others. Because of Qi's special identity, let him grow up, and it will be his turn to take the throne. So he came up with the idea of letting Dayu canonize the deed as the king of the deed and take charge of Huozheng, which can be regarded as the appeasement of the deed before the succession. Then under the pretext of those who need to expand the territory, he asked Qi's son Zhaoming to lead his people to the north to expand the territory, which indirectly weakened the power of Qi.
After Zhaoming left, the deed was still left in the court to be in charge of the Huozheng calendar, but he lacked the power of self-protection in his hands and had to choose to surrender to Dayu. And Zhaoming, who was far away in the stone, was also trapped in the court because of his father, so he could only be content with his duties. To the deed, Zhaoming's wings gradually plumped, and after Xia Qi succeeded to the throne, although he worked hard, he gradually became desolate to music and food, so that the political situation was turbulent.
At this time, Zhaoming had the intention of going south, but when he thought of the artifact in the hands of the Xia Dynasty, he felt somewhat lacking in self-confidence. So while sending people to find an artifact that could be countered, he quietly supported his own strength in the name of expanding the territory.
Zhao Ming died, and Xiangtu succeeded to the throne. Xiangtu is a person with superior ability, first taming wild horses and then taming bison, wild boars, wild sheep, wild dogs, pheasants, etc., that is, six animals. The potential of the Shang clan has also increased significantly, but the artifact has been unable to be found for a long time. At this time, the Xia Dynasty was already in the reign of Taikang, and this emperor was even more unbearable than Qi in his later years, and the Xia Dynasty's government was in turmoil.
Although the artifact has not yet been found, Xiang Tu still led his clan to the south after seeing the opportunity. When the sky appeared when the source of Liaoshui was Chishan, the wind and hail, the Liaoshui swelled, and there was nowhere to hide on both sides of the river, and the southbound soil was blocked on the bank of the Liaoshui River. Xiangtu knew that there was a difference, so he had to look at the river and sigh, feeling that the sky would not extinguish the summer.
In the fifth year of Xiangtu's order to reclaim and build a city in this place and move the clan, the capital has just begun to see the scale, and for some reason the water has soared again, and the city has been besieged for a long time. Xiangtu was trapped and couldn't move, so he could only climb high and watch the water every day.
Until one day, Aito noticed that the silver light in the water on the west side was flickering, and he ventured into the water to check it out of curiosity, only to find a bright silver stone sword hanging in the water. Xiangtu swam to the sword, stretched out his hand to hold the hilt, and before he could pick it up, he felt the undercurrent around him surge, gradually pressing towards him.
Aito himself is a brave and extraordinary character, and he doesn't panic too much, but wants to see what will happen in a while. But what happened next really surprised him.
All the undercurrents did not squeeze him, but swirled rapidly around the sword, the center of the rotation at the tip of the sword. As the rotation became faster and faster, the water pressure also increased, and finally Xiangtu could only hold the sword high above the top in one hand in the posture of raising the flames, but his posture was not with his feet facing down and his head up, but with the center of his feet on top and his heart down.
Xiang Tu held his breath and held the sword, his face had begun to turn purple due to lack of oxygen, but he still persisted, knowing in his heart that this was definitely an artifact. Just as the spirit of Xiangtu began to dissipate, the water vortex at the tip of the sword finally condensed into a water ball, and it was still rotating at a high speed. Eventually, Aito found that the surrounding water had been absorbed by the balloon, and he was standing at the bottom of the water.
The water balloon continued to absorb, absorb, and absorb again, until ten days later, what appeared in front of Xiangtu was not the boiling river, but the dry pine land, the rolling mountains, and everything was restored to before the flooding. Aito rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he saw, but when he saw the sword in his hand, he realized that everything was real.
Xiang Tu held the sword in his hand and waved it casually, the space seemed to be unable to bear the weight of the sword and crushed, and small cracks spread and cracked along the sword momentum, crushing the mountains in front of him.
Looking at the mountains in front of him that were pressed open by a sword, Xiangtu was overjoyed, raised his sword and looked carefully, only to see that the sword body was more than seven feet long, the sword head was semicircular and slightly raised, the water ripples on it flickered, the sword stem was double, the sword grid was flat and narrow, and there were two words with inscriptions on the sword grid - weak water. Xiangtu knew that the Shang clan finally had an artifact, and he could finally not be afraid of the Xia Dynasty, and he could finally wave his troops south, and he couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.
After returning to the capital, before the happy event was announced, a news that shocked him even more came from the south - Hou Yi shot the sun, and the sky fell into the sky.
Xiangtu knew that even if he held the artifact, he would not be able to block Hou Yi's feather arrows, so he threw the sword into the ground in a fit of anger. The ground couldn't bear the weight of the weak water sword and was pressed out of the deep pit, and the weak water sword slowly sank, and finally disappeared in front of Xiangtu.
After thinking about it, Xiangtu did not order the sword to be dug out, but ordered someone to fill in the pit, so that the weak water sword was permanently left in the underground of the capital.
Xiangtu is a smart man, he knows how attractive the artifact is in his hands, and he is afraid that future generations will rely too much on the blind confidence brought by the artifact, and launch a war against the Xia Dynasty too early without full preparation, and if it fails, it may be wiped out. So the news that the Shang clan had an artifact was also left in Xiangtu's heart.
