Chapter Eighty-Six: Ascending Tongbai Mountain to Sacrifice the Tomb of Emperor Yan

Dayu passed the door of the house and did not enter, and took a big step and embarked on a new journey of water control. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info take a wooden boat along the Huai River all the way to the west. While walking, while examining, while governing. The flood waters receded. The mood of the crowd is getting better and better.

On this day, the water control came to the west foot of Dabie Mountain. This is the transition zone between Tongbai Mountain and Dabie Mountain. The hills are undulating, the mountains and waters are beautiful, Dayu's boat is going against the current, the boat is very slow, and the sailors on both sides are struggling to pull the boat.

Suddenly, in the river next to the left and right sides of the boat, two monsters appeared. I saw that the monster had a big head, and since the pig was like a dragon, it was covered with heavy scale armor, a round and big belly, four claws like an old turtle, and a big mouth that could swallow a living person. From beginning to end, it is ten zhang long, and it is very terrifying and terrifying.

Two monsters stirred up the huge waves between the side of the ship, lifting the boat to the crest of the waves, and then throwing the boat down the trough, agitating the cabin to fill the water.

The four heavenly generals followed in the air, and when they saw this, they hurriedly pressed the cloud head and swooped to the side of the boat to meet the two monsters. The two monsters did not show weakness, and when they saw the Heavenly General attacking, they turned around and rushed out of the water to attack the Heavenly General.

The monster's big mouth can bite people, it can bite soldiers, its huge tail is like a steel whip, it can also draw people, sweep people, and block the enemy's blades. The four heavenly generals really can't help this monster for a while.

Dayu stood on the bow of the boat, pulled out the mountain opening axe from behind, held it in his hand, and protected it from time to time, and the embankment monster opened his mouth to bite the people on the boat. Xuan Gong and Huang Ge also took out their blades and stood at the stern of the ship to protect.

The two monsters were also clever enough to see that the sky would be difficult to deal with, so they deliberately kept a certain distance from the ship, and from time to time they got under the ship in an attempt to overturn the ship.

Boyi, Pythagorean, Jiuzhang and Shennongzi and other little brothers were all frightened by the monsters in the river at first, and they were a little overwhelmed, and the wooden boat was lifted back and forth by the monster on the water, and they were pushed to the other side of the boat for a while. After a few clicks, look at the two monsters, but these few tricks are capable, so I am relieved. Shennongzi lowered his head and saw two coils of thick ropes in the cabin, and he had an idea and beckoned Boyi: "Boyi, you see there are two coils of rough ropes here." It would be so much fun if we tied a rope to a noose and waited for the monsters' heads to come out of the water, and then we would trap them and let the two monsters pull the boat away. ”

When Bo Yi heard this, he immediately came to his senses and praised: "Good idea." Come, you take one, I'll take one, tie the noose, and after a while, the monster will come out, and one person will put on one. ”

Just do it. So each of them took a coil of rope and tied it to one end of the rope, and the other end of the rope was tied to the mast. The two of them were ready and waited for their moment.

Suddenly, a monster leaped out of the right side of the boat and emerged from the water. When Shennongzi saw that the two heels were shining, he picked up the rope noose with both hands, and threw it at the monster's head like a fisherman casting a net and a man leashing a horse.

It was too late, it was fast, the rope sleeve flew out, not biased or oblique, just put on the monster's neck, the monster was startled, "whoosh" rushed forward, straightened the rope at once, and then like a slender man pulling a boat, pulled the boat upstream, and swam forward quickly.

The monster rolled over and rolled as he pulled the boat, trying to get the noose off his neck, but the tighter he struggled, and gradually he could no longer struggle, so he stopped struggling and swam forward as it should.

At this time, another monster also appeared from the left side of the ship. As soon as he poked his head out of the water, Boyi's sharp eyes and hands were quick, and he threw out the rope sleeve with a "whoosh", and suddenly also put the monster's neck on it, and the monster chased after the monster in front of him with the rope. The two monsters stood side by side, pulling the boat forward. Boyi and Shennongzi stood on both sides of the boat and pulled the rope nooses, like two drivers driving a car.

Dayu and the four heavenly generals, the four generals applauded in unison. "Well done, well done".

From then on, he no longer had to be paddled by a boatman, but he walked much faster than before. Everyone just sat firmly on the bow of the boat to watch the mountain and enjoy the scenery, it was really like the days of the gods, it was supposed to travel for four or five days, but now it was pulled by two monsters and the boat arrived early in only one day.

Seeing that he came to the east foot of Tongbai Mountain, two huge stone pillars appeared in front of him, Dayu pointed to the stone pillars and said: "We will go ashore from here." After that, he lifted the cable from the side of the ship, and when the wooden boat came to the stone pillar, he flicked his hand and tied the cable to the stone pillar.

The two monsters pulling the boat in front of them suddenly felt as if the boat was being dragged from behind, and they couldn't pull it anymore no matter how hard they tried, so they couldn't help but stop. One by one, exhausted, they lay on the surface of the river and opened their mouths to gasp for breath.

Dayu pointed to the two monsters and asked, "Who are your two monsters goblins and what are their names?"

One of the monsters replied, "We are the Tuo dragon brothers. My name is Kuluda, and his name is Kuluer. Because we have offended the gods, I ask the gods to forgive us for our ignorance, and we will not dare next time. ”

Dayu said: "I am Dayu, and I came to this Qianli Huai River to control the flood." You didn't hurt us, but pulled the boat for us, saving us a lot of effort. Let you walk now, but you will not live in the Huai River from now on. From here to the south, move to the Yangzi River to live, where it is more suitable for you to live, go. ”

Boyi and Shennongzi untied the rope around the necks of the two dragons, and the two dragons left with great gratitude. The Yangtze River, which went straight to the south of the Yangtze River, has lived in the Yangzi River since then, and people call them "Yang Zi Crocodile".

The big stone of the Yu cable boat was later named "Yu Wang Zhu". Until now, on the waist of the "Yu Wang Pillar", there are still traces of the cable boat of Dayu.

Dayu and everyone just jumped down from the boat, and saw a green cloud rising from the heavy mountain of Tongbai Mountain, quickly drifting here, to the front, from the green clouds walked down a god, with a human body, a dog's head, wearing a crown, wearing silk, holding a wat board, not someone else, it is the mountain god of Tongbai Mountain.

Dayu stepped forward, saluted Pan Gu, and said: "Don't come to the gods!"

Pan Gu said: "Congratulations to Xia Bo, congratulations to Xia Bo, the water control of the Huai River has been completed, and today I came to the source of the Huai River, I think I came to worship heaven and earth." ”

Dayu said: "Heaven and earth are to be sacrificed, at the same time, I also want to take another look at Tongbai Mountain, the source of the Huai River, is the hometown of Emperor Yan Shennong, the first sister of Chinese humanities, and the place where Pangu opened the world. ”

Pan Gu said: "I have nothing to do, so I will accompany Xia Boyou to visit Tongbai Mountain." ”

Dayu said: "Then there is Lao Zun God." ”

Pan Gu said: "Xia Bo doesn't have to be polite. ”

After Pan Gu finished speaking, he greeted Boyi, Pythagorean, Jiuzhang, Shennongzi and the four heavenly generals, and then accompanied Dayu to climb Tongbai Mountain.

While climbing the mountain, Pan Gu introduced Tongbai Mountain to Dayu and said: "Tongbai Mountain is more than 240 miles long, showing a southeast, northwest, southeast, northwest direction. It is bordered by Dabie Mountain in the east and Funiu Mountain in the west. The eastern section is hilly and undulating, the mountain light and water color are moving, and the western section of the mountain slope is steep, the mountain peaks stand, and the mountain boundary is very neat. The main peak is called Taibaiding. Tongbai Mountain is higher than Huashan, and Huangshan is showing, the so-called seven mountains and one water, two fields. ”

Dayu said: "The god is the mountain god of Tongbai Mountain, so he naturally wants to praise Tongbai Mountain." ”

Pan Gu said: "This is not my boasting, everyone who has been to Tongbai Mountain praises it." ”

Everyone walked all the way, and sure enough, they saw the mountains and valleys were dangerous, and the caves were full of rocks. The trees are dense and the ancient trees are green. Green vines and moss are everywhere. Rare birds and beasts are companions, Jiamu strange flowers reflect each other, mountain springs and waterfalls can be seen everywhere, white clouds are elegant, mountains and mountains change, just like a fairyland.

Pan Gu said: "There is a mountain in the south of Tongbai Mountain, the hometown of Emperor Shennong of Lishan, we can go there first." ”

Dayu said: "Okay, let's go to worship Emperor Yan Shennong first." ”

Pan Gu led everyone to the flat place with the mountains and rivers at their backs, pointed to the grass hut hidden in the red flowers and green trees, and said, "Xia Bo, please see, this is the hometown of Emperor Yan Shennong. ”

When Shennongzi heard this, he took the lead and ran towards the grass house. When I ran closer, I was not disappointed, but I saw a few grass huts in front of me, empty and deserted. He said: "Is this really the hometown where my grandfather lived? Why is it so shabby, it is not as good as ordinary people's homes!

Dayu said: "Emperor Yan Shennong cares about the people of the world and doesn't care about the simplicity of his life. And regardless of his own poisoning, he tasted all kinds of herbs and found life-saving herbs for the people, which is the character of a saint. ”

Bo Yi picked up a pile of soil on the ground in front of the house, and then went to the tree and broke three branches and stuck them in the mound. This is called picking up the soil for incense, please worship Dayu. Dayu stepped forward and knelt on the ground, kowtowed three heads upward, and said: "Descendants of Yan and Huang, Dayu controlled the Huai River and defeated Wu Zhiqi." The sparse sparse, the guide guided, the digging should be dug, and the fill should be filled. Now that the flood has subsided, the east flows into the sea, and today comforts the ancestor of Emperor Yan. He stood up, folded his hands, and bowed again, before withdrawing.

Shennongzi saw that Dayu had finished worshipping, so he also came to the place where Dayu had saluted, learned from Dayu's appearance, and kowtowed three times, and said: "Grandpa Shennong, your good grandson Shennongzi kowtowed to your old man." If you hadn't touched me with your hand back then, I wouldn't have become an immortal. Today, I can't follow Brother Dayu to treat water, and I can't collect medicine for everyone to treat diseases. My life was given by your old man, and I must fight for your old man. As soon as the words fell, I saw a gust of wind blowing on the flat ground, blowing off a few leaves, and circling around Shennongzai.

Shennongzi was pleasantly surprised when he saw it, and knew that Grandpa Shennong heard his words.

Boyi, Pythagorean, and Jiuzhang applauded together and said, "Shennongzi said it well! Grandpa Shennong heard it."

After the worship, Dayu led everyone to leave Shennong's hometown, and walked to the north of the mountain together, to open the sky with the hanging pangu. At the opening of Pangu, Dayu is another sacrifice. After the sacrifice, he led the people to get up and go down the mountain.

When he came to the bottom of the mountain, Pan Gu asked, "Where else is Xia Bo going?"

Dayu said: "After this water control, I found that the rivers in China are flowing from west to east, and the roads are all along the river, all of which are east-west, except for the lack of north-south channels, I want to open up two north-south channels." One is the western dry road, that is, the Yuyuan Pass. The other is the eastern waterway, which is the chasm. It will connect the north and south of China, so that the civilization of the Central Plains in the north can spread smoothly to the south.

Pan Gu cocked his thumb and praised: "This is really an unprecedented feat, only Xia Bo has such courage." The completion of these two works will greatly benefit the Chinese people, and the merit will be carried out through the ages. I wish Xia Bo a smooth sailing, farewell to the old decay, there will be a period in the future. After that, he said goodbye to Dayu and drove Qingyun back to his Tongbai Mountain Immortal Cave.

Dayu put a stamp on the emperor in the court. The good news of the success of the Huai River in water control was reported. Send Zhuhai to report the victory to the emperor of the imperial capital first. Then he led four little brothers, four heavenly generals, four mortal generals and five hundred soldiers. Take Nanyang, and then go all the way to the north, go straight to Zhongyue Songshan, and open up the Yuyuan Pass that connects the Central Plains and the south.
