Chapter Thirty-Eight: Tang Yaodong Suppresses the Wind
Tao Tang Hou Yao led a thousand soldiers to the southern Dongting field to slaughter the snake. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info has removed the calamity for the people of the south, and has also been respected by the princes of the south. As soon as he returned to the fiefdom, he immediately received an order from the court. Ordered him to go to the east to fight the gale.
It turned out that at this time, the princes of the East had urgent documents to report to Bodu. It is said that the fairy gale that originally occupied the coast of the East China Sea is no longer satisfied with occupying the coast of the East China Sea. It is gradually advancing to the interior and has reached the first line of Mount Tai and Licheng. Occupy the field of Qingqiu. And there are attempts to go further north into the interior.
The edge of the gale is invincible. Strong winds blew down houses and displaced people. Trees are uprooted. Crops were blown down, livestock were swept away, rivers and seas were flooded, flash floods broke out, floods were rampant.
But it was said that this gale was originally a huge black mirage in the East China Sea, which had been cultivated for more than 10,000 years and became a demon immortal.
He can not only walk on the sea, but also swim all over the five immortal mountains on the sea. And it will also control the sea breeze and call for wind and rain.
In times of peace and prosperity, when benevolence reigns. Gale only roams the sea, or makes a few mirages to fool people and play. But it can't set off waves, and it can't make waves.
Now the "three murderers" control the government, and the emperor is weak and incompetent. The world is in decline. So the gale took the opportunity to invade the land, and the wind and waves came.
He first caused chaos on the coast of the East China Sea, and gradually advanced into the interior. Now it has penetrated thousands of miles into the interior and reached the wilderness of Qingqiu. Everywhere I went, the people didn't have a good life. The common people fled elsewhere, and even the princes fled elsewhere.
Tao Tang Hou Yao, after receiving the order of the court, selected a thousand generals. He ordered each soldier to make a kite, and the kite was in the shape of a bagua. That is, eight two-foot-long bamboo strips are tied into two square frames. Then overlap the frames of the two squares, staggering them by half a corner from each other. After it is firmly established, it is then framed with fine silk to make a bagua-shaped kite.
Finally, in the center and above of the gossip, tie a string and you can release it into the air against the wind. (Therefore, until now, some places have called kite flying gossip)
After the kite was made, Tao Tang Houyao wrote the word "Xi" on the heart of every gossip. Have the soldier carry a kite with him. He also instructed the veteran Hou Yi to bring a magic arrow and tie a long line to the end of the arrow. In case you escape after being hit by an arrow in a strong wind. Tao Tang Houyao himself brought a bronze mirror of the demon given to him by his teacher in his early years.
When everything was ready, Tao Tang Houyao led the soldiers to the east, all the way to the field of Qingqiu.
One day later, the people arrived in the wilderness of Qingqiu and found a place to set up camp against the back of the mountains and rivers. Tao Tang Hou Yao first sent a reconnaissance "Hou Qi" to find out where Gale was now stationed.
One day later, "Hou Qi" came back and reported to Yao that Gale had encamped in a wilderness at the foot of Lishan, fifty miles away. There are about 10,000 minions. The momentum is huge, the flags cover the sun, and the camp tents are dotted around.
So Tao Tang Houyao ordered: "A thousand soldiers are divided into two teams, Houyi leads one team, and Fengmeng leads one team." Taking advantage of the night, they outflanked the left and right sides of the gale and surrounded the gale. Early tomorrow morning, as soon as the hour comes, I will blow the trumpet as an order, and the soldiers will each fly the gossip kite in their hands into the sky. Then he shot arrows at the camp of the gale, shouting 'The time of death of the gale, surrender quickly.' 'When the gale escapes, let us capture the king first. I took the demon mirror to shine on the gale, and the veteran Hou Yi took the arrow to shoot him, as long as the gale was shot, we could fight a battle. ”
All the soldiers were ordered to go their separate ways.
Early the next morning, at about midnight, all the soldiers had surrounded the camp of the gale. Tao Tang Houyao gave an order, and the trumpeter blew the horn: "Woo-" A thousand soldiers immediately flew a gossip kite into the sky.
I saw a thousand kites rising in the air, forming a large circle. Each gossip has the word "Xi" written on it, which is spectacular.
The soldiers shouted "Gale is dead, surrender quickly" and fired arrows into Gale's camp.
Gale heard the sound of the trumpet, and heard the shouts of killing, and when he saw the arrows flying, he did not pay attention to it.
He calmly set up his way in the Chinese military tent. The left hand pointed to the sky, the right hand pointed to the ground, and there were words in his mouth: "Ji Bo, Hurricane Mother, Fei Lian, Xun Er, Meng Po, Feng Eighteen Aunts, come and help." After reading it, he pointed in the direction of the East China Sea with the sword in his hand, and drank "disease".
But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see a strong wind blowing. At this time, Dafeng did the second time to do the Fa or pointed to the sky with his left hand and the ground with his right, and begged in the center of his mouth: "Ji Bo, Hurricane Mother, Fei Lian, Xun Er, Meng Po, Feng Eighteen Aunts." Come and help. But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement. This time, the big style is not good. It was immediately messed up. So he turned his body and wanted to go into the air to see what was going on.
When the wind swept into the air, there were gossip kites flying in the air in all directions, and the word "Xi" was written in the center of each gossip. Knowing that someone had broken their spell, he turned around and tried to escape.
At this time, Tao Tang Hou Yao held a bronze demon mirror and suddenly illuminated the gale. Hou Yi saw the original form of the wind under the bronze mirror and shot an arrow.
The divine arrow with a long line was in the chest of Gale, and the injured Gale wanted to escape, but Hou Yi's divine sword with a long line was firmly nailed to his chest. I want to earn and keep earning, and finally the veteran Hou Yi pulled the long rope tied to the magic arrow, and pulled the gale down, and the gale was like a kite with a broken string, and it was planted headfirst down to the ground. His head was shattered by a rock, and he died with a whimper. The soldiers caught Gale and looked closely, and it turned out to be a huge black mirage. At this point, the gale was suppressed.
The minions of the gale turned out to be ordinary people, who were coerced into the gang by the gale, and surrendered one after another. Tao Tang Houyao admonished them with kind words, and then sent home. The minions of the gale were grateful to Dade and went home to be the people.
When the princes of the East heard that Tao Tang Houyao had extinguished the gale in one fell swoop, they all came to Yao's camp and thanked Tao Tang Houyao for removing the scourge for the people of the East. All of them poured out their hearts and made friends with Yao. Since then, Tao Tang Houyao has become famous in the East and is almost a household name.
The kite invented and used by Tao Tangyao when he encircled and suppressed the gale has been handed down among the folk in Weifang, Shandong since then. Until today. Weifang, Shandong Province has become the kite capital of the world.
