Chapter Fifty-Six: Zhen Yuanzi Seeks the Way
Xiao Xia continued his journey to the Flood Wilderness, and the Flood Desert Terran also continued its own development. Dayu's succession to the throne is not easy.
Yu is also known as Wenming, the word is high, according to legend, he was born in Xiqiang (now Gansu, Ningxia, the southern part of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region), and then migrated to Chong with his father, Yao was named Xia Bo, so it is also called Xia Yu or Bo, he established the first dynasty of the human race "Xia".
During Yao's reign, there was a great flood in the Yellow River Basin, and Yao asked Yu's father, Kun, to control the water. But after Shun succeeded Yao as the leader of the tribal alliance, he found that Kun not only did not manage the flood well, but also made the flood more serious.
The angry Shun killed Kun in a fit of rage, and later Yu recommended himself to Shun to control the water in order to wash away his father's shame.
Yu changed his father's practice of using dikes to hold back the water, and instead diverted the flood water into the sea by opening canals and dredging rivers. Yu came to a place but found a person wearing a gossip robe, holding a three-foot beard under his jaw, looking like a fairy wind and bones.
The person who came was Zhen Yuanzi, since the fall of the red cloud, he had been practicing in Wuzhuang Temple, and seeing the Taoist friends who had listened to the Tao together died one by one, Zhen Yuanzi was a little confused, did he have to think about his future?
In the confusion, he went out of the dojo, and it was a coincidence, as soon as he went out, he happened to meet Xiao Xia who was traveling. Xiao Xia saw Zhen Yuanzi like this, so he ordered him and asked him to go to the human race to find his own opportunity.
Zhen Yuanzi, who didn't listen to Xiao Xia's words, came to the Honghuang Terran. When he saw Yu's behavior, he felt that his opportunity was here, so he governed with Yu. With the help of Zhen Yuanzi, it is easier for Dayu to deal with the floods.
However, Dayu did not dare to relax. At that time, Yu was newly married, in order to control the water, he ran around, passed by his own door three times, and did not enter, so he left an allusion of "three times through the door without entering".
After thirteen years of hard work, he finally succeeded.
While controlling the floods, Dayu also actively guided people to restore and develop agricultural production, greatly develop water transportation, and rebuild their homes.
When the floodwaters receded and the plains came to the surface, he led people to build ditches in the fields, divert water for irrigation, plant crops such as millet, millet, beans and hemp, and let people grow rice in low-lying areas.
When Shun saw Yu's exploits, he officially gave up the position of the Son of Heaven to Yu. Yu takes Anyi as the capital, the country name Xia, divides Danzhu in Tang, sub-seals merchants are in Yu, changes the calendar day to be called the summer calendar, and collects the copper of the world, casts Jiuding, as a symbol of the common lord of the world. Because of Yu's exploits in water control, sufficient prestige and power were established in the hearts of the leaders of various tribes.
However, when Yu was old, he once went to the east to inspect and gathered the leaders of many tribes in Huiji Mountain. The people who went to see Yu were holding jade silk in their hands, and the ceremony was very grand. There was a tribal leader named the Fenfeng Clan who was absent, and Yu thought he had neglected his order and beheaded the Fenfeng Clan. This was his own failure, and it also cut off his own path to enlightenment. This is not later, although Shiyu has the title of the Great Emperor, but he has not entered the Five Emperors.
And Zhen Yuanzi helped Yu all the way to control the floods, in order to prevent the recurrence of floods, every time a place was governed, Zhen Yuanzi placed a doppelganger as the land here, and slowly when Yu managed the floods, the flood people were already covered with land gods, and many tribes of the flood people also began to believe in the land, and slowly suppressed the son found that he had fallen because of too many doppelgangers, and the cultivation that had declined was slowly recovered.
If it goes on like this, it won't be long before Zhen Yuanzi can reach the peak of the quasi-saint!
