Chapter Forty-Nine: The Picture of the River Bo Xian
But it was said that Dayu retreated from the court, and after returning to his residence, he accepted a few little brothers who were interested in controlling the water. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Among them is the "staff officer" Boyi. He is also good at measuring the Pythagorean and good at calculating the nine chapters. also accepted Tu Jiao, the daughter of the princes of Tushan Kingdom, who fled to escape. In the end, there was a "little land fairy" Shennongzai. It's really a gathering of talents and talents.
Dayu's side suddenly became lively. These teenagers are all gathered together because they are interested in controlling the water, and they all want to follow Dayu to make contributions, so they are very excited, and they have endless words.
Early the next morning, Dayu took four heavenly generals, four generals, as well as the little brothers and Tu Jiao, a total of 14 people, bid farewell to Situ Shun and the ministers, and bid farewell to the imperial capital. Walk along the Fenshui towards the Yellow River.
Dayu thought that the army and the chariot that pulled the grain and grass were going too slowly, so he asked the general who led the army to lead the army, the chariot and the grain and grass, and then followed up, and he led 13 people to lead the first.
Since Dayu accepted the edict to control the water, everyone's name for Dayu has also changed. The four heavenly generals Gengchen, Xuan Yu, Kong Lu, and Dazhang. The four members will be Xuangong, Huang Ge, Changxin, and Jianhai. These eight people all called Dayu Chongbo.
Boyi, Pythagorean, Jiuzhang, and Shennongzi all call Dayu Dayu's brother. Only the relationship between Tu Jiao and Dayu is a little delicate, since she came to Dayu's side. When I saw Dayu, I fell in love at first sight. She only called Dayu Brother Yu.
In Tu Jiao's eyes, Dayu looks mighty and handsome, can govern the country with culture, and can be safe with martial arts, and has just been appointed by Di Yao as the minister of water control. I can come to Dayu's side, dig the river with him, and when the water is controlled to the Huai River in the future, we will defeat Wu Zhiqi together, what a happy thing it is. So, a heart has already been handed over to Dayu. Caring about Dayu all the time, a pair of beautiful big eyes do not leave Dayu's left and right.
Blue sky and white clouds, beautiful mountains and rivers, fragrant flowers and plants. Along the way, Boyi, Pythagorean, Jiuzhang, and Shennongzi chattered, laughed, and played. Like a flock of birds flying out of the cage, free and unrestrained.
Especially Boyi and Shennongzai, these two people are the most picky and often fight with each other. Sanqi Immortal Shen Nongzi burrowed into the ground for a while, walked a ride with the help of the soil, and then drilled out of the ground and walked on the ground for a while. After a while, he jumped on the shoulders of Changxin and Jianhai, the two ministers, and squatted on the shoulders of others to let people carry them away. After a while, he rushed to the shoulder of the heavenly general, and wrapped around the heavenly general to take him to the clouds.
The four celestial generals sometimes walk on the ground, and sometimes take the clouds into the sky to observe the surrounding situation.
Bo Yi paid attention to the mountains and rivers that passed along the way, recorded them from time to time, and began to write his "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
The Pythagorean hand took Fuxi's "measuring ruler" and drew a comparison, measuring the East Mountain, the West Mountain, and the Fenshui for a while, and was very busy.
Chapter 9 carried a big abacus behind him, held it in his hand whenever he was free, crackled and fiddled for a while, and muttered in his mouth, one hundred and sixty eight seventy-five, and one hundred and sixty eight seventy-five......
Dayu and his party of 14 people came to the bank of the Yellow River. Da Situ Shun has already stopped the official ship here. As soon as they arrived at the ferry, they could immediately board the boat, take the official boat, and go down the river to the front of the water control.
Fourteen people boarded the official ship. Dayu stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the surging Yellow River, his heart fluctuated.
A few years ago, I walked out of the house and came to the water control site to look for my father. At that time, I was still a child. I just want to come to my father and help him do what he can. Unexpectedly, a few years later, today. His father failed to control the water, and he committed suicide in Hayama. Emperor Yao and Da Shun appointed themselves as ministers of water control, and succeeded their father as Earl Chong.
Da Situ Shun is very important to himself. The people of the country are also looking forward to subduing the flood as soon as possible and living a happy life in peace and contentment.
I must not live up to the trust of Di Yao and Da Shun, nor can I live up to the expectations of the people. This time to control the water, we must win. I have a long way to go, I should sacrifice my life and forget my death, set an example first, work diligently, and move forward bravely.
The four heavenly generals have gone through many experiences, and they regard the exorcism of demons as a leisurely walk. This time I went to China to help Dayu control the water, and I regarded it as a vacation trip to China.
The four generals are different. Changxin and Zhuhai once served under Lao Chongbo for nine years. As a result, the water control failed, and the old Chongbokun was ruined. Chang Xin and Zhuhai were also discouraged and couldn't raise their heads.
This time, I was fortunate to assist Shao Chongbo Dayu to control the water, and I was full of strength in my heart, that is, I fought for my life, and I also wanted to assist Dayu to control the water successfully. It's good to raise your eyebrows in front of the Chinese people.
Xuangong and Huang Ge are different from Changxin and Zhuhai, both of them are Dayu's childhood partners, young and vigorous, and they want to follow Dayu to make contributions. I couldn't hold back my excitement for a long time, and I was eager to try.
Tu Jiao is different from others, she was a blessing in disguise, and was rescued by the nine-tailed white fox grandfather, the ancestor of Tu Shanguo, from the hands of two big horse monkey spirits, and used her magical powers to send herself to Dayu with a gust of wind.
Since coming to Dayu's side, my heart is sweet and satisfied, just like flowers blooming in the spring breeze. A smile hangs on the face all day long. Feel comfortable, move lightly, and be diligent with hands and feet. As soon as he put down the clothes he had sewn, he picked up the pan and washed rice and cooked, and he was not idle for a moment, like a big housekeeper.
Boyi, Pythagorean, Jiuzhang, Shennongzai, and several little brothers are all out of the house for the first time, and they go out by boat for the first time. It's new when you see anything.
I saw a carp leap high out of the water, make a beautiful arc, and fall back into the water. It was also a burst of exclamation and admiration, and there was a burst of gossip.
Seeing someone crossing the river on a sheepskin raft, like a light boat, tossing up and down with the waves of the Yellow River, it is both thrilling and exciting, and it is also a compliment and a discussion. In the world, the mountains are fresh, the water is fresh, the people are fresh, and the things are fresh. It was an eye-opener for several people.
The big boat walks from the upper reaches of the Yellow River to the lower reaches, along the river and the water, without the boatman rowing, the boat can go fast, the green hills on both sides of the river continue to retreat, and the scenery in the distance continues to break into view.
As the boat was traveling, it came to an open water. Bo Yi's eyes were sharp, and he pointed to a black spot on the river in front of him and said: "The black spot in front of him seems to be a person leading a horse to stand on the surface of the river, is he a god? Can he stand on the water without sinking to the bottom." ”
Everyone followed Boyi's finger and looked forward. As I got closer to the ship, I gradually saw it clearly. On the river in front of him, there was indeed a man standing, and he was leading a white horse. Everyone's eyes fell on the man and the horse at once.
I saw the man standing on the surface of the river, wearing a white dress, wearing a jade crown on his head, a jade belt around his waist, about seven feet tall, with a white face, red lips, three wisps of beard, and a very handsome appearance. But the left eye has been squinted, and only the right eye remains. Holding a wat board in his arms. Dressed like a prince, and dressed like a fairy, depending on the age, about forty or fifty years old. Next to him stood a snow-white white dragon horse.
Strange to say, the big boat came to the front of the man on the river, and did not drop anchor, and the boat stopped of its own accord. Steady, motionless, like anchored there. Everyone on board was taken aback.
The four Heavenly Generals rose into the air together, ready to tear apart. The four generals also unsheathed their swords and opened the frame. protected Dayu and the little brothers.
Tu Jiao grabbed Dayu's arm, held it tightly, stared at the beautiful eyes, staring at the people and horses on the river, for fear that Dayu would be snatched away by that person.
Boyi and several other little brothers also widened their eyes, closed their mouths, looked at Dayu, and then looked at the person standing on the river.
I saw the man standing on the river saluting with his fist on the big boat, and asked: "Is it the new Chongbo Dayu standing on the boat?" ”
This time, everyone was slightly relieved. Dayu also felt strange. Standing at the bow of the boat, he replied: "I am Dayu, I don't know who the god is, what do you want me to do?" The man said: "I am the god of the Yellow River - Hebo is also." Knowing that the new Chongbo passed by the river by boat today, he did not hesitate to come to meet him. ”
Dayu also returned the salute with his fists and said: "It turned out that the Yellow River water god arrived, please forgive Dayu for his clumsiness, I don't know what the god has to say?" Today, we took a boat over the river and headed to the front line of water control. Therefore, a special person came to Chongbo to present a river map to help Chongbo control the water. ”
After saying that, he stepped on the waves of the river to the side of the boat, and then floated onto the bow of the boat. The white dragon horse soared into the air with four hooves and flew onto the big ship in one leap.
Everyone looked at the white dragon horse, about nine feet high from hooves to ears, about two feet long from head to tail, snow-white, a pair of jade eyes, and an abnormal horse.
The horse had a golden saddle on its back, and a jade plate was carried on the golden saddle. The jade version is also like a psychic thing, he slowly rose from the back of the white dragon horse and floated to Dayu, who stretched out his hands and took it.
Dayu looked at the jade plate carefully, and saw that the front of the jade plate was painted with numbers composed of black and white dots, forming a figure that resembled the shape of a turtle. The five yang numbers of one, three, five, seven, and nine are white, which means the number of days. The four yin numbers two, four, six, and eight are black, which means the number of the earth. The white dots that make up the number of days are lined up, and the sunspots that make up the number of places are all in pairs. This graphic can be depicted as:
Nine heads and one tail, two or four are the forefeet, six or eight are the hind feet, seven three are the middle waist, and five are the henchmen. There are nine numbers from one to nine, arranged in a nine-square grid of three or three and nine.
Three rows horizontally and vertically. Whether you add the three numbers horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, the sum of the numbers is fifteen.
Looking at the back of the jade plate, it is the shape of the Yellow River in Jiuqu. The Jiuqu Yellow River is like a giant dragon lying on the land of China, with its waist arched high, its head resting on the Kunlun Mountain in the west, and its tail stretching into the sea of the East Ocean. The whole dragon is in the shape of a few characters. Everywhere there are words marked.
Dayu took the jade plate and looked at it for a long time, but he still couldn't fully understand it.
He Bo said: "In order to paint this river map, I have worked hard and gone through a lot of hardships, and finally it is done. Today, I handed over the river map to the hands of the new Chongbo, and I am very pleased that my long-cherished wish for decades has been fulfilled.
For this reason, I specially prepared a table of banquets, one is for the new Chongbo and a young talent, and the other is to treat myself. ”
After saying that, he waved to the river, only to see the water splashing in the center of the river, and four fish and dragons carrying a table of banquets, surfaced, slowly came to the front of the boat, and slowly rose from the water and sent it to the boat steadily.
Everyone looked at the four ichthyosaurs, they looked the same, about four or five feet tall, and they looked like fat seahorses. There are a pair of lobster eyes on both sides of the head, and in the middle is the nose of an old turtle, and two long dragon whiskers grow on either side of the nose. Underneath is a large carp mouth covered in yellow dragon scales. The appearance is very peculiar.
He Bo said: "Please sit down with all the heavenly generals, generals, and young talents, and I want to give you a detailed description of the river map of the Yellow River."
As soon as Boyi, Pythagorean, Jiusuan, Shennongzai, Tu Jiao and others heard that Hebo wanted to tell a story, they all came around. Eyes wide open waiting to hear the story.
The four generals also fell from the clouds and returned to the ship to take their seats. The four generals also returned their swords and sat down.
Hebo asked Dayu to sit in the chief, and he sat on the side to accompany him, and Tu Jiao sat on the other side of Dayu. The rest sat around.
Look at the banquet, there are white lotus roots, red water chestnuts, green narcissus, as well as Yellow River carp, Yellow River shrimp, Yellow River crabs, and many mountain delicacies that have never been seen and cannot be named. A large table was filled. The crystal cup was filled with emerald green daffodil.
He Bo raised his glass and said, "This is my home-brewed daffodil wine, drinking it can nourish your face and longevity." This wine is only available in my Hebo Mansion, and only my Hebo's guests can drink it. In order to congratulate the new Chongbo on being ordered to control the water, and also to congratulate me on fulfilling my wish to hand over the river map to the new Chongbo, everyone toasted and toasted together. ”
Smelling the fragrant wine, everyone raised their glasses. Dayu and the four heavenly generals, and the four generals, all drank the daffodil wine in the cup, and several little brothers also tried to take a big sip. Tu Jiao heard Hebo say that daffodil wine can nourish the skin, and smelled the aroma again, so she couldn't help but take a sip, and her face immediately flew on the red cloud.
After a glass of wine, Hebo opened the conversation. He Bo said: "Many years ago, I was also a mortal, and my name was Feng Yi. He lives in the Yin of Huashan on the south bank of the Yellow River, and the place name is Tongxiang.
I was smart and studious since I was a child, and I studied hard. People are also very handsome, and people say that I am handsome and chic, and I am a talent. ”
Shennongzi said: "Your old man is a princess who sells melons, and he sells himself and boasts, right?!"
Bo Yi interjected and said: "It's not that you are boasting, you are also very romantic now." ”
He Bo was very happy to hear Boyi's words, smiled and said, "Thank you Boyi for your praise." ”
Brushing his beard, he continued, "The more I read, the more I read, the more miscellaneous I become, and there are many books on cultivating immortals. Ever since I read this fairy book, I have been fascinated. I want to cultivate into an immortal.
In this book, it is said that in order to become an immortal, there must be several conditions, one is to have high morality, the second is wisdom, the third is to have the help of gods, the fourth is to have the guidance of a famous teacher, the fifth is to do a thousand good deeds, and the sixth is to take daffodils for a thousand days.
Tu Jiao interjected and asked, "Can a person become an immortal if he eats daffodils?"
He Bo said: "Yes, it is to eat daffodils." I don't have any other conditions to become an immortal, and although I think I'm a good person, I can't talk about high morality. Although he is smart, he is not very smart. There is neither the help of the gods nor the guidance of famous teachers.
It is not difficult for a person to do a few good deeds, but to do a thousand good deeds, it is impossible to do them in a lifetime. But this sixth rule, which is to insist on taking daffodils for a thousand days, I can do it.
The timing and method of taking daffodils are also particular. First of all, you should be pious in your heart, clean your hands and burn incense before eating, recite mantras silently, and eat elegantly. If you take it like this for 1,000 days without interruption, you will become an immortal.
I searched all over the banks of the Yellow River and finally found the daffodils. Daffodils are also called marigolds. On the north bank of the Yellow River, in an inaccessible mountain valley, daffodils grow everywhere, and there are only daffodils. On both sides of mountain streams, swampy wetlands, daffodils are everywhere. I named it the Valley of Narcissus.
Since then, I have been going back and forth between the banks of the Yellow River every day. Three meals a day, one meal is not lost, and only daffodils are fed. In this way, I ate for 999 days in a row, almost three years, and only the last day was missing, and I was able to achieve great success and become an immortal.
But the sky is unpredictable, and people have good and bad luck, just when I crossed the Yellow River for the last time to eat daffodils. When I had just crossed to the middle reaches of the Yellow River, there was a sudden flash flood, the river was steep and long, and the wind swept the huge waves and smashed down my head and face. A row of huge waves swept me into the whirlpool, I struggled, shouted for help, but was unable to return to the sky, and finally exhausted my strength and drowned in the Yellow River.
For I have eaten narcissus for nine hundred and ninety-nine days, and although I am drowning, my soul is not gone. So I floated to the Heavenly Palace, found the Emperor of Heaven, and complained to the Emperor of Heaven.
The Emperor heard that I had eaten 999 days of narcissus, and I was only one day away from it, but I fell short, and unfortunately died the day before I became an immortal. The Emperor of Heaven thanked me for my sincerity, and finally showed great compassion and allowed me to become an immortal.
Because I drowned in the Yellow River, the Emperor of Heaven appointed me to be the water god of the Yellow River, Hebo. It has jurisdiction over the Yellow River, the mother river of the Chinese people. ”
Shennongzai thought, "It's really not easy for mortals to become immortals, how can they compare to me." Since Grandpa Shennong touched me and blessed me, I became a fairy in a daze. ”
I only heard Hebo continue: "In the past few decades, there have been floods from the sky, and the Yellow River is even more of a disaster. I don't forget the hatred of drowning in the Yellow River in the past, and I hope that a saint will descend from heaven to govern this Yellow River that I hate and love. So I decided to draw a map of the Yellow River. ”
Bo Yi asked: "Are you talking about this river map handed over to Brother Dayu?"
He Bo said: "Yes, this is the river map. I have spent many years figuring out the veins of the Yellow River from the source of the Yellow River to the mouth of the sea. It indicates where the Yellow River originates and where it enters the sea. Where the Yellow River is deep, where it is shallow, where it is wide, where it is narrow. Where there are mountains, there are canyons. I drew it all on this picture. ”
After Hebo said this, he asked the fish dragon to pour everyone full of narcissus wine. He raised his glass again and said, "Everyone, please drink this glass of wine again, and then I will tell you about the Yellow River." ”
