Chapter Ninety-Four: The Hundred Feet Cliff Above the Gate of the Three Gate of the People

Dayu led four heavenly generals, four generals, four little brothers and more than 1,000 skilled craftsmen, first chiseled open the dangerous "God Gate" in the Sanmen Gorge, and then split the narrow "Ghost Gate", and now came to the mouth of the Yellow River Gorge "Ghost Sorrow" on the third dangerous gorge, to chisel the north bank of the Yellow River under the cliff of the mountain to dig the rocky rock, the waterway here widened.

White clouds float in the blue sky, the cliffs of the north bank of the mountain are full of flowers, and the flood waters of the Yellow River are stirring and surging in the canyon, hitting the bank of the river cliff.

More than 1,000 skilled craftsmen came to the bank of the Yellow River and waited for Dayu to assign tasks.

At this time, I saw a group of people dressed as ordinary people hurrying over in the distance, striding towards Dayu and walking over. The leader was an old man with white hair. He looks like he is about eighty or ninety years old, with a tough figure, strong spirits, and a red face. He wears a hat on his head and a short garment on his body. There was also a child of seven or eight years old beside him, followed by more than a dozen farmers of various ages.

The group carried clay baskets on their shoulders, pickaxes in their hands, hemp ropes around their waists, hats on their heads, and shoes on their feet.

The crowd walked in front of Dayu, and the white-haired old man asked, "Is this the place where Xia Bo Dayu controls the water?"

Dayu replied: "I am Dayu, I don't know what the old man is called?

The white-haired old man was overjoyed when he heard this. said: "I am the Yugong of Xishan, these are my children and grandchildren, I heard that Xia Bo Dayu came to the Yellow River to control the water, and the old man specially led his family to help. ”

Dayu asked: "Are you the foolish man who removed the two mountains of Taihang and Wangwu?"

The white-haired old man said, "Xia Bo is talking about the foolish prince of Beishan. Beishan Yugong is my great-grandfather, my grandfather is called Dongshan Yugong, my father is called Nanshan Yugong, and I am called Xishan Yugong. ”

As he spoke, Xishan Yugong pointed to a gray-haired old man next to him and said, "This is my son", and then pointed to a few middle-aged strong men around him and said: "This is my grandson, when he is old, he will be called the fifth generation of Yugong, the sixth generation of Yugong." ”

He patted the head of the boy next to him and said, "This is my great-grandson Xiaoyu, and when he is old, he will be called the seventh generation of Yugong." In the future, there will be the eighth generation of Yugong, the ninth generation of Yugong, and the tenth generation of Yugong. In the words of my great-grandfather Kitayama Yugong, it is called son and son, grandson and grandson, and there is no end to the number of children and grandchildren. Hahaha. He laughed smugly.

Dayu said: "The old man led the whole family to contribute to the water control, the spirit is commendable, if the people of China are like you to contribute to the water control, why worry about the flood." ”

Xishan Yugong said: "My ancestors are all experts in digging mountains, and they should serve for water control, so Xia Bo should not be polite, and assign us a task quickly." ”

Dayu said: "Okay, old man, since we are here, we are a family, and I am not welcome." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a huge mountain in front of him and said, "Then please dig up this mountain first, and if you encounter difficulties, you can come to me at any time." ”

Xishan Yugong replied briskly: "Yes." Then he waved to the children and grandchildren behind, and the family rushed to the bottom of the mountain rock with a hula sound, and waved the hoe, pickaxe, and pickaxe together, and started working in full swing.

After arranging the tasks of the Yugong family, Dayu assigned tasks to more than 1,000 skilled craftsmen in turn, and he divided the craftsmen into more than ten groups, each group of 100 people, digging, chiseling, burning stones, pouring cold water, loading, transporting, several types of people in a group to work together, like an assembly line, complementary advantages, complement each other.

When Dayu finished assigning tasks to the craftsmen, he returned to the front of the Yugong family digging the mountain. I couldn't help but be stunned by the operation scene in front of me: I saw that the huge mountain in front of me had been dug up by Yugong's family. Xishan Yugong waved the pickaxe in his hand and picked it up quickly, like a rotating wheel, "click, click, click" In the blink of an eye, the gravel was piled up into a hill. The person in charge of transporting the stones came forward in turn with the baskets, and the two strong men each carried a huge rock at the same time, and put it into the baskets before and after the strong men at the same time. The strong man who carried the burden carried two boulders and galloped away without sticking to the ground. The second strong man followed closely behind the first, quickly loaded the stones, and galloped away. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen strong men all carried boulders and followed away. Just like the wild geese flying high in the sky in the autumn in a row, at the end is the little great-grandson of Beishan Yugong, who is seen holding a boulder in both hands, trotting, and following the back of the line.

The family dug up the mountain, ruthlessly, accurately, quickly, and cleanly. Just like flowing water, more than a dozen people can do it faster than more than a hundred skilled craftsmen.

After a while, the flat stretch team of Yunshi turned back again, still in a formation of geese, not scattering or slow. After turning back, there was another round of moving stones, loading burdens, and transporting them away.

Boyi, who was standing beside Dayu, couldn't help but praise: "The Yugong family is really a model for the descendants of Yan and Huang." Do not rely on the sky, do not rely on the ground, all rely on diligent hands, start from little by little, perseverance, will eventually create a better future. ”

Dayu said: "We must also have the spirit of Yugong moving mountains, persistently fight against the flood, and one day will control the flood, so that the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment to live a good life." ”

Shennongzai, who was beside Boyi, took over the conversation and said: "Although Yugong's spirit is commendable, it is just too hard, working hard all day long, not happy at all, it is better to be a fairy." ”

Bo Yi said angrily: "Shennongzi is so easy and hard work, he knows that he is happy to play, and you are not even as good as Yugong's little grandson." ”

Shennongzi said: "Although I am not as good as the little grandson of Yugong can move stones, but I can know all kinds of herbs, prescribe medicine, relieve people's pain, cure diseases and save people, this is also a kind of labor, and it is a higher level of labor, if you are not satisfied, a moment will come to the injured person, you will try to cure it?"

Bo Yi was pushed back by Shennongzai's words, and he couldn't speak after swallowing several mouthfuls of saliva.

While speaking, Yugong's family made more than ten trips back and forth, and most of the huge mountain had been chiseled off.

More than 1,000 skilled craftsmen in the section were inspired by the Yugong family, and they all showed their skills and tried their best to show their skills in front of everyone. I could only hear the sound of trumpets, hammers, chiseling, shoveling, digging, digging, burning, watering, and carrying, and the whole construction site seemed to be boiling.

Pythagorean holds a measuring ruler in his hand and supervises the construction quality, Jiuzhang holds the big abacus and calculates the construction progress, and Xuangong and Huang Ge command and coordinate the construction of each group. The four heavenly generals rose in the air, guarding on all sides, guarding against mountain spirits and water monsters coming to make trouble.

Dayu is where there is an emergency, where to rush, where the task is huge, where to appear, where there is a difficulty.

Driven by the Yugong family, the project progressed rapidly, and the Yellow River Gorge changed in one day, and in more than ten days, the rocky rocks at the bottleneck of the third section of the Yellow River have been chiseled away, and the river channel has been widened a lot. The upstream flood water flows smoothly through the canyon, rushing down and flowing happily ahead.

Dayu led the craftsmen to call it a day and retreated to the shore. Standing on the bank of the Yellow River and then looking at the Yellow River Gorge, I saw that under the cliff of the Yellow River on the other side of the Yellow River, the river water flows along the root of the cliff of the Mountain, and the turbulent river water beats and washes the bottom of the cliff, and the cliff is towering and dangerous, as if it is about to fall, which is very thrilling.

Boyi said to Dayu: "Brother Dayu, you can give this canyon portal another name." ”

Dayu thought for a while and said: "There are gods and ghosts in front of me, I think this place is called 'human gate'." It was Yugong's family who came to help us dig the mountain to dig through the canyon so quickly. ”

Everyone clapped their hands in unison: "Okay, people will win the sky, and it will be called 'human gate'." ”

After cheering, Dayu sent a thousand skilled craftsmen to return to their hometown, and finally Yugong's family also said goodbye and went home.

At this time, Xiaoyu, the youngest great-grandson of Xishan Yugong, ran to Xishan Yugong and Dayu and said: "Grandpa, Brother Dayu, I won't go home, I also want to go to water control with Brother Dayu, just like Boyi, Pythagorean, Jiuzhang and Shennongzai, to contribute to water control." ”

Xishan Yugong listened to Xiao Yu's words, and was stunned at first, because the family had no such plans in advance. But then he laughed and said, "Okay, good, my little great-grandson has ambition, and we only knew how to dig the mountain in front of our house before, just for the sake of our own family." From now on, you have to follow Brother Dayu to dig the mountains of the world, for the sake of the people of heaven and for the benefit of the people,——— but I don't know if Xia Bo will take you in?"

Xiaoyu turned to Dayu and pleaded: "Brother Dayu, you can leave me and let me go with you to control the flood." I have the strength, and I have the ancestral ability to dig mountains, I will listen to you carefully, don't be naughty, don't mischievous, and I'll do whatever I tell me to do."

Dayu patted Xiaoyu's shoulder and said, "Xiaoyu, it's good." At a young age, you can bear the heart of the people of the world, amazing, it's not simple, I accept you. ”

Xiao Yu was so happy that he jumped so high, while jumping, he clapped his hands and said: "I want to go to the water with Brother Dayu, I want to go to the water with Brother Dayu!"

Dayu accepted a little brother Xiaoyu who was interested in water control on the way to control the water. Boyi, Pythagorean, Jiuzhang, and Shennongzi all ran over and grabbed Xiaoyu's hand and spoke affectionately.

Yugong's family was very happy to see that Dayu accepted Xiaoyu, said goodbye to Dayu, picked up the burden, and returned to his hometown with a pickaxe. After waving goodbye to his family, he returned to the middle of the little brothers, happy as a foal who had just stepped out of the house.

Dayu in the Yellow River Gorge "ghosts see sorrow" place, one after another carved out the "God Gate", split out the "Ghost Gate", and opened up the "Human Gate".

Since then, people have called this place the "Sanmenxia" of the Yellow River. And use "the god gate is dangerous, the ghost gate is narrow, and the cliff above the human gate is a hundred zhang cliff to describe the thrill of Sanmenxia."

Later generations have poems describing the way here: look at the three gates, the three doors open, and the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky. The door of God is dangerous, the door of ghosts is narrow, and the door of people is above the cliff of a hundred zhang. The yellow water splits the door with a thousand thunders, galloping thousands of miles to the East China Sea.

Look at the three doors, and the three doors open. The Yellow River will not come back to the east. Kunlun Mountain is high and the mountain is short, and the hooves of King Yu's horses grow moss. The horse went to the door and couldn't see the house, and there was an empty dresser next to the door.

For thousands of years, Sanmenxia has become a beautiful scenery in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. People who have been to the Yellow River want to take a look at the scenery that Dayu personally split out of the year.
