Chapter 81 Bringing an isolated island to build a causeway

Dayu and his entourage were in the canyon on the bank of the Huai River, and they unexpectedly encountered miasma. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Dayu and the four generals and the three little brothers were in a deep coma and were dying. Thanks to the "Three Seven Immortals" Shennongzi was not chaotic in the face of danger, did not wait, did not rely on, picked the detoxification herbs by himself, boiled them into antidote soup, and then added his own unique elixir "Tongzi Urine", and fed Dayu and others one by one. This stabilized everyone's condition and won time, and when Gengchen asked for a prescription from the Queen Mother of the West, he finally relieved everyone's miasma poison.

After Dayu woke up, he saw that everyone's physical strength had not recovered, so he ordered to camp on the spot and let everyone rest for the night.

Early the next morning, the sun shone on both sides of the Huai River again. Warm, breezy with the fragrance of flowers. After everyone got up, they washed their faces happily with the water of the mountain spring, and their fatigue disappeared. After breakfast, I regained my old energy. One by one, they jumped up and down like a dragon and a tiger on the journey of water control.

While walking, Dayu examined the surrounding mountains, rivers, terrain and topography. Boyi also seized all the time to write his "Classic of Mountains and Seas". Pythagorean and Jiuzhang and Shennongzi are still the same as in the past, walking, playing, and bickering. It's just that no one dares to underestimate Shennongzi anymore.

On this day, everyone came to a special place. It's like a chiseled soup pot, splashed with sewage all over the place. As far as the eye can see, there are large and small lakes and ponds. As far as the eye can see, the flood water flows horizontally at the feet.

Boyi found a local and asked. The man said that this place is called Po Ke Tang, also called Po Pu Lake.

Dayu turned around and asked Boyi: "Brother Boyi, in your opinion, what kind of place is this broken kettle?" If there is a flood in the upper reaches of the Huai River, and there is not a single dam along the way to hold back the water, the flood will inevitably be like a wild horse that has escaped from the wild, flooding a large area of fertile land in the middle and lower reaches. If a dam is built to the east of this broken pot, the lake area will become a flood storage area. It's like installing a "sui" bubble on the Huai River. When there is a flood in the upper reaches of the Huai River, it is not a good idea to accumulate the flood water and wait for the drought to slowly supply the fields in the middle and lower reaches. ”

Dayu listened to Boyi's words and was very happy. said: "It's really a hero's vision, and I'm also thinking about building a dam to hold back the floodwater." Since you and I have both thought of one place, then we will decide. So he found a place in Pingyang, Gaofu, with mountains and rivers backdropped, set up camp, and set up a base camp.

Dayu asked into the air, "Where is Ying Long?"

As soon as the words fell, Ying Long appeared in front of Dayu and replied: "Ying Long is here, I don't know what Xia Bo called Ying Long to order?"

Dayu said: "Ying Long, you take me and a few little brothers to the air for a walk, I want to go around this broken kettle lake for a week to see where to build a dam." ”

Ying Long promised: "Ying Long understands. ”

As he spoke, he fell to the ground. When Dayu and the little brothers rode on their backs, they flew up with a snort. After rising into the air, it slowly flew forward around the shore along the perimeter of the Broken Cauldron Pond.

Dayu sat on Ying Long's back and overlooked the Popu Lake from the air. I saw that this broken kettle pond was like a broken soup pot, full of debris, and sewage flowed all over the ground. Ditches and puddles are dotted. There are puddles on land, and there is land in puddles.

Dayu and Boyi, Pythagorean, Jiuzhang, and Shennongzi carefully rubbed in the air, and they already knew the situation on the ground. Where there is a height, where there is a bottom, where there is more water, where there is more land, where there is a levee, where there is a flood drain, there is already a plan in mind.

So he instructed Ying Long: "Let's go down." ”

Ying Long agreed: "Ying Long understands"

So he pressed down on the head of the cloud and slowly fell to the ground. Dayu and the others jumped off the dragon's back.

Dayu called over Changxin and Zhuhai, and instructed: "The two of you will take my talisman to the surrounding princes to transfer the people, grain and grass. Changxin went to the countries along the south side of the Po Cauldron Lake, and Jihai went to the countries north of the Po Cauldron. All beneficiary countries that benefit from water control must contribute, and large countries should provide more people, and small countries should provide less people. The princes of each country were to lead themselves, bring their own tools, and bring their own grain and grass for thirty days, and report to the great tent of Shab, where the dam was built, within ten days, and those who arrived late were punished. ”

After Changxin and Zhuhai left, Dayu led Boyi, Pythagorean, Jiuzhang and Shennongzi and Yinglong. From north to south, the dam site was surveyed section by section. Dayu designed the dam site to the east bank of the broken kettle lake, in the "pot edge" of this "broken pot".

This saves labor and trouble, and the foundation is firm.

In the past few days, the dam sites have been identified in most of the lots. There is only one section of the dam left in the muddy pond, and it is not yet certain for a while. The terrain here is low-lying, flowing water everywhere, and there is a mud pond under the water, which is unfathomable. If a man falls into it, he will be destroyed. To dig and build a dam on this, it is even more difficult, and Dayu can't think of a proper solution for a while.

At this time, the princes of Changxin and Zhuhai all led the people to report one after another, so Dayu temporarily put down this problem. Xuan Gong and Huang Ge were assigned to lead the teams of the princes of various countries. They were assigned to various dam sections. The large vassal states are divided into large sections, and the small vassal states are divided into small sections. The large section is generally one mile long. The small section is generally half a mile long. This time, a total of more than 30 people from the vassal states were transferred, with a total of more than 100,000 horses, lined up on the hundred-mile embankment. People are happy and hot. Those who dig the soil, pick up the soil, smash and ram, and people come and go.

Dayu patrolled the dam construction site all day long, and worked for a while wherever he went. He was deeply loved by the princes of various countries and the people who built dams. Wherever Dayu goes, there is a jubilant scene, and the project is progressing rapidly.

I saw that the causeway that held back the water grew every day, and it grew higher every day. Ten days after the start of construction, it has begun to take shape. Twenty days later, the dam was already out of Pinghu. The dam is more than three feet high and forms a long causeway, which is like the wall of a large city, keeping the flood water inside the wall.

Standing on the causeway, Boyi said to Dayu: "Brother Dayu, standing on this causeway can't help but remind me of the old Chongbolai." Throughout his life, he was known for building dams and causeways. People say that his old man's concept of water control is to block and encircle. And your concept of water control is to dredge and guide. But at this point, didn't you also use the method of blocking and encircling?"

Dayu said with emotion: "The method of blocking and encircling used by my father and his old man is not useless. When encountering a place that should be contained, use containment, and use diversion when encountering a place that should be channeled. At this point, I once told Da Situ Shun in the court about my concept of water control. Da Situ Shun also agrees with the concept of diversion and containment that I use. ”

Dayu and Boyi were talking, and the topic returned to the current section of the drifting mud pond. As for how to build this section of the embankment, everyone talked about it, and they came up with ideas one after another. But there has never been a safe plan. That gap is like a dog's sinus wide open, it is really placed there, and it makes people worry when they see it, and it gives people a headache when they think about it. Seeing that all the dam sections have been completed one after another, and the place has not yet been settled.

Bo Yi said to Dayu: "Brother Dayu, you have the Heavenly Book Golden Jane Jade Seal in your hand, and the "Summoning God Rune" given by the Queen Mother of the West, is there no way to solve this drifting mud pond on so many books?"

Speaking of this, Bo Yi pointed to a small island in the Popu Lake and said: "Brother Dayu, you see that small island is lonely in that lake, and it is not too far from this embankment, if you can bring it here, wouldn't it just be able to plug this gap?"

Dayu looked in the direction of Boyi's finger, and saw that there was indeed a small island in the center of the lake, the island was not big, nor high, and there was only one or two miles in a radius, as if it was to block the gap of the embankment. I couldn't help but feel a little moved. said: "Wait until I summon the water god of the Broken Ketula Lake to ask." ”

Dayu said, took out the "Summoning God Rune" from his arms, sacrificed to mid-air, and read in his mouth: "Dayu controls the water, orders the gods and ghosts, and the god of water in the cauldron pond comes to see." ”

After a while, I saw a large water surface in the Pobu Lake, and the water splashed, and a god came up from the lake. stepped on the broken water all the way to Dayu's face.

When the people looked at the water god, they saw that the water god was an old turtle walking upright, but with a human head and face. He also wore a crown on his head, and held a wat board in his hand, but his clothes were shabby and shabby. Wearing a pair of straw sandals underneath. This dress is like a prince and not like a prince, and it is ridiculous to say that he is like a common man and wears the hat of a prince.

The water god came to Dayu and bowed. said: "Break the water god Aojia of the Broken Kettle Lake, see Xia Bo." The old man knew that Xia Bo had come to this broken kettle lake to control the water, but because he was sleepy in life, he was dressed shabbyly, and he was afraid of being laughed at by Xia Bo, so he never had the face to see him.

Dayu asked: "I don't know why the god is so poor, isn't the production of this broken kettle lake enough to support the god?"

The water god sighed and said, "Xia Bo doesn't know, this is a broken Puhu Lake, the lake is broken, the mountains are poor, the water is shallow, and there are floods year after year. You can only raise some small fish, small shrimp, thin turtles and crabs full of bones. Do you look at my dress, do I still look like a fairy? Who doesn't want to wipe his face with rouge, alas, he is poor!"

Dayu said: "That's the case, I followed the Huai River to control the water and came to the broken kettle lake where the gods were respected. In my opinion, this Popu Lake is an important place in the Huai River Valley. He wanted to build a flood dam on the east bank of the lake, first, to stop the flood water rushing downstream, second, to protect the middle and lower reaches of the fertile land, and third, to fill the broken kettle lake with clean water. The middle and lower reaches of the Huai River can be irrigated by drought and drained by waterlogging, turning it into a land of fish and rice. Fourth, it has inadvertently expanded the water house of the god dozens of times, the lake has also become deeper, and the lake surface has become larger, so the god no longer has to worry about poverty. ”

The god of water in the broken kettle lake listened to Dayu's words. Daxi said: "As Xia Bo said, Xia Bo is an old nobleman, and the second half of his life will be worry-free." The old man thanked Xia Bo here first, and Xia Bo used the old man's place, although he commanded. ”

Dayu said: "The embankment I built, there is a section that must be built on the drifting mud pond, and people will be destroyed if they fall into it, so the people can't build on it." Today, Brother Boyi and I are optimistic about a small island in the lake, and want to bring this island over and fill this gap in the embankment.

Ao Jia, the water god of Pobu Lake, said: "Back to Xia Bo's words. This small island is called Dragon Ball Island, and it happens to be a rootless island. It was originally an island made of boulders, and the bottom of the island sat on top of the mud in the lake, and there was no obstacle from there to the gap in the embankment. If Xia Bo has such a great supernatural power, he can pull this Dragon Ball Island, so he can bring it over and use it to fill the embankment. ”

Dayu listened to the words of the water god Aojia of the broken Puhu Lake, and was overjoyed. He said, "This is really a small island that God has given me to fill the levees. The success of the dam is on its own. ”

The water god of the Broken Kethu Lake said enthusiastically: "If Xia Bo wants to move this Dragon Ball Island, my water tribe in the Broken Kett Lake will also come to help in the battle." We can all follow behind Dragon Ball Island and add fuel to the fire. In that way, Xia Bo can save a lot of effort when he pulls Dragon Ball Island. ”

Dayu said: "That can be better, I have thanked the gods and the water tribes in advance." From today, tomorrow is the second day, and the day after tomorrow is the third day. On the morning of the third day, we will lead the island to fill the embankment on time, and ask the god to lead all the water tribes to participate on time to help me. The water god of Pobu Lake readily agreed: "Xia Bo rest assured, the water tribe will arrive in the morning after tomorrow." After saying that, he went back to his water mansion and mobilized his water tribe.

Here, Dayu began to prepare the materials and tools used to lead the island. First, he sent Xuangong to lead 300 soldiers to the mountains to collect rattan and kudzu, and then kneaded them into arm-thick ropes, which were two miles long and short. Wrap the rope around the Pearl Island. This end of the rope is pulled by Ying Long and the heavenly generals, plus the people.

In a blink of an eye, it was the third day, and early in the morning of the third day, everyone had eaten their full meals, and before the time came, they all took their places and made preparations for the island. One by one, they are eager to try.

It is pulled by Ying Long, four heavenly generals, four earth generals and strong men selected from the people. The four little brothers, Boyi, Pythagorean, Jiusuan, and Shennongzai, are responsible for shouting and cheering.

The aquarists in the Pobu Lake, led by the water god Aojia, gathered at the back of Dragon Ball Island, ready to add fuel to the fire.

The Aojia showed its original form, which turned out to be a huge old turtle, pushing behind Dragon Ball Island. Among the aquariums, there are large fish that are several feet long, small fish and shrimp, large and small clams and rampant cockroaches.

Dayu first sacrificed the "Summoning God Rune" and read in his mouth: "Dayu controls the water and orders the gods and ghosts." Dayu controls the Huai River, and wants to pull Longzhu Island to fill the dam gap, please pass by the gods, the ground, come and help me!"

After reading it, he waved the red flag in his hand and gave an order: "Lead the island!"

At this time, I saw dozens of immortals coming down from the air one after another. Some help pull the rope, and some help to push behind the island.

Ying Long, the four heavenly generals, the four earth generals and the people gradually tightened the rope. The four little brothers stood aside and mustered up their strength, opened their voices and cheered up, shouting "Come on!" "Come on" "Come on".

Dragon Ball Island, which had been motionless before, suddenly shook, and then slowly moved forward, and faster and faster.

I saw Ying Long's four heavenly generals, and the four generals and the people struggled to pull the rope. The aquarists behind Dragon Ball Island, regardless of size, worked together to make snow-white waves. Like a big ship, Dragon Ball Island pushed away the waves and slowly approached the embankment.

The red Ying Long, the four heavenly generals, the four generals and the people pulled the rope hard. The four little brothers shouted the trumpet vigorously. Below the water are large and small aquarities led by the water god of Pobu Lake. That scene was truly spectacular.

The ten-mile embankment was full of more than 30 princes and 100,000 people who watched the feat of the island. The sound of applause and cheering resounded on the embankment. People's palms were red, their voices were hoarse, and their feet were numb.

When everyone was forgetting to pull the fiber rope, whether it was the person pulling the fiber rope or the water tribe pushing the waves behind Dragon Ball Island, they all felt a shock all over their bodies at the same time. At this time, everyone realized that Longzhu Island had been drawn into the gap in the dam and was firmly embedded in the gap in the dam. - The embankment is closed.

The fiery red Ying Long, the four heavenly generals, and the four generals let go of the rope in their hands, wiped the sweat on their heads, and opened their mouths to pant for breath. The gods also returned to the heavens.

It was done, Ying Long disappeared into the clouds, and the water tribes in the Broken Kettle Lake also dispersed, and the Water God of the Broken Kettle Lake also returned to his Water God Mansion. Everything was quiet again.

Looking at the broken kettle lake full of clear water, it has completely changed. It is no longer the dilapidated scene of the past, just like a pearl strung on the Huai River, with a high gorge out of the Ping Lake. Dayu renamed the broken kettle "Fuling Lake", and later generations renamed Fuling Lake "Hongze Lake". Since then, the banks of the middle and lower reaches of the Huai River have become the land of fish and rice.

Aojia, the water god of Broken Kett Lake, was overjoyed to see that this Broken Kettle Pond had turned into a beautiful Fuling Lake in a blink of an eye. I never dared to expect myself to have such a vast and beautiful water. When Dayu was leaving, the god of water in the broken kettle lake came to Dayu again, thanked Dayu, and then went back to his new water mansion beautifully.
