Dayu took Boyi and Shennongzai, rode Yinglong all the way to the east, and flew back to the Xingyang camp on the edge of the Yellow River at the foot of Bishan Mountain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe four heavenly generals will follow closely in the sky all the way.

When they arrived at the Xingyang camp, Xuan Gong, Huang Ge, Pythagorean, Jiuzhang and Xiao Yu stepped forward to greet them. Dayu and Boyi, Shennongzi jumped off the dragon's back successively, Dayu patted Ying Long's horns, and said: "Ying Long, in this time to the west to guide the river to control the water, you have made a great contribution, this road has worked hard, go and have a good rest." After a few days, you are indispensable to guide the chasm. ”

Ying Long was very happy to hear Dayu praise himself again. Mei Zizi said: "Thank you Xia Bo for complimenting, Ying Long is not hard, Xia Bo is hard, Ying Long is ready to listen to Xia Bo's orders at any time." Then he disappeared into the clouds and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xuan Gong and Huang Ge asked Dayu to return to the big tent. Dayu learned that Changxin, who reported to the imperial capital, and went to the water control along the way to recruit the people and grain and grass has not returned, so he decided to take advantage of this gap to start tomorrow to lead the five little brothers to the chasm along the way, to investigate the terrain, survey the waterway, and design the construction plan.

The chasm was originally a natural rift valley in the Central Plains. It is wide and deep, trending northwest to southeast. It starts from Xingyang on the edge of the Yellow River in the northwest and reaches Huaiyin in the Huai River in the southeast. It is five 'six hundred miles long from north to south, and more than ten miles at the widest point. The chasm connects the Pushui, Bianshui, Suishui, Yinghe, Whirlpool, Ruhe, Jishui, Surabaya and Putianze between the Yellow River and the Huai River, forming a chasm water system.

In the early years, although the gap could not be navigated in its entirety, there were several sections that were filled with clean water and played a role in regulating floods. In recent years, due to the flooding of the Central Plains, especially the diversion of the Yellow River, the gap has gradually silted up, and the chasm has lost its function of flood discharge, diversion and water diversion.

This time, Dayu was determined to channel the gap, and the main purpose was to channel the flood water accumulated in the Central Plains into the Huai River through the chasm, and then flow into the East China Sea through the east of the Huai River. Completely eliminate flooding in the Central Plains.

The second purpose of Dayu to clear the gap is to use the gap as a water passage through the north-south traffic. The Central Plains and the southeast coastal areas will be more closely linked. In this way, there is a land passage in the west and a chasm in the east, which allows the civilization of China in the Central Plains to spread more quickly to the uncivilized lands along the south and southeast coasts.

Early the next morning, Dayu led Boyi, Pythagorean, Jiuzhang, Shennongzi and Xiaoyu to the outside of the tent, Dayu shouted into the air: "Where is Yinglong?"

Ying Long replied: "Ying Long is here, waiting for Xia Bo's orders." ”

Dayu asked, "Has Ying Long rested?"

Ying Long replied: "If you go back to Xia Bo, Ying Long has already rested. ”

Dayu said: "Since you have rested, how about taking me and my little brothers to the chasm to investigate and survey today?"

Ying Long replied: "Ying Long understands, please sit down with Xia Bo and the little brothers." As he spoke, he fell in front of Dayu.

Dayu took the five little brothers to step on the dragon's back one after another, and Ying Long said: "Sit down, get up!" When they flew over the chasm, they flew slowly along the chasm from north to south. Ying Long flew very low, and Dayu and the little brothers could clearly observe every detail of the chasm at a glance.

Boyi's hand is holding a pen and a drawing board, Pythagorean is holding a measuring ruler, and Chapter Jiu is holding a large abacus, watching, measuring, calculating, and drawing at the same time. Only Shennongzi and Xiaoyu were idle, so they enjoyed the scenery along the chasm, marveling, discussing, and commenting.

It was the beginning of spring and early summer, the sun was shining, the breeze was refreshing, and a few white clouds occasionally drifted across the blue sky. The green hills are faint in the distance, the green trees and red flowers on the hills, and the butterflies and bees fly. The stagnant flood of the earth has not yet receded. Looking at the chasm, most of the gully has been filled with silt, and has long lost the function of flood discharge.

Dayu led a few little brothers, one by one, and encountered a place that could not be seen in the air, so he called Ying Long to fall, and everyone came to the ground to study carefully. Over the past few days, Ying Long flew back and forth from north to south and from north. Dayu also saw the gap clearly, clearly, and really, and had an overall plan for dredging the gap.

Dayu, Ying Long and the five little brothers completed the survey and design of the water diversion plan for the chasm and returned to Daying. Changxin and Zhuhai also returned to the camp. Zhuhai had already requisitioned 10,000 people and hundreds of loads of grain and grass from the vassal states along the chasm, and Changxin also brought back the edict of Emperor Shun from the imperial capital.

Dayu took the edict from Changxin's hands, unfolded it and read it in public: "Xia Bo Dayu, since he was ordered to control the water, he has been concerned about the people of the world, and has taken the lead in setting an example. Sleeping in the open air, bathing in the wind and rain, calluses on the feet. If the flood waters have receded nine times out of ten. Xia Bo Dayu, 13 years of water control, merit in the contemporary, benefit in the future, should be good for the people. I hope to complete the final project as soon as possible, and the class teacher will return to the court to comfort my hope. ”

After listening to the edict issued by Emperor Shun, everyone was jubilant.

After everyone calmed down, Dayu said: "We have not yet achieved the final victory of the great cause of water control, and the edict of Emperor Shun instructed us to do a good job in the final project of water control." We must do this final work well. Now I order: "The two generals Xuan Gong and Huang Ge are still the commanders of ten thousand people, leading 10,000 people to dredge the chasm waterway." The two generals, Changxin and Zhuhai, are still quartermasters, in charge of the raising, distribution and logistics of grain and grass. Pythagorean, Jiuzhang and Xiaoyu are the general supervisors of the project, guiding the diversion project and supervising the quality of the project. Shen Nongzi is the chief medical officer, who is responsible for treating the injuries and illnesses of the people. Boyi and Xiaoyu assisted me in overseeing the overall situation and coordinating various departments. Four generals and 500 soldiers were responsible for security and vigilance. Work will start early tomorrow morning. ”

Everyone responded in unison: "Yes!"

After breakfast the next day, Xuan Gong and Huang Ge led 10,000 people to both sides of the chasm, and the wings of the geese were lined up. Dayu holds the plow with his own hands, and the little fool holds the head with a pickaxe. Dayu gave an order: "Start work", and he was the first to jump into the ditch and dig out the first sludge. Xiao Yu also followed Dayu, waved the hammer in his hand, and did it selflessly.

More than 10,000 people saw Dayu take the lead, took the lead in setting an example, worked hard, and were encouraged, and one by one they also rushed to jump into the ditch, digging the mud, carrying the burden, you chased me and did it.

This is the hinterland of the Central Plains, there are no mountain spirits and water monsters to make trouble, the sky is beautiful, a sunny day for many days, the sun is shining, and the breeze is cool. Dayu eats, lives and works with all the people, and more than 10,000 people are deeply encouraged. One by one, they worked hard and made rapid progress in the project of dredging ditches and water control, advancing day by day.

The Pythagorean hand holds the measuring ruler, and the nine chapters hold the big abacus in hand, and checks, measures, and calculates back and forth. Dayu with Boyi and Xiaoyu, where there is difficulty, where there will be a problem, specifically gnaw those hard bones, Dayu's mountain axe, Xiaoyu's family heirloom head, attack everything, indestructible. Boyi assisted Dayu's staff to plan various chores.

The festival is approaching the height of summer, and the weather is getting hotter. The gap dredging project is halfway through. One day, Dayu was leading the little brothers to bow their heads and dig together. All of them were sweating. Dayu occasionally raised his head to wipe his sweat, and suddenly found a giant running from a distance in the east, and the giant was running in the direction of the chasm. Dayu couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately called the little brothers to watch together.

At this time, the four heavenly generals also found the running giant and hurriedly met it from the air.

But when he saw the giant, who was as tall as a mountain, the white clouds floated over his waist, and in one step he crossed a hill, and in another he crossed a great river, and waded up the dust behind him.

The four heavenly generals flew to the ears of the giants in the clouds, just like a few bird's nests flying on the edge of the mountain cliff, Gengchen shouted: "Who are you sacred? Are you here to help Dayu?"

The giant replied as he ran: "I am not a god, I am a human, and I will not help Dayu." ”

Gengchen asked again: "Then are you here to trouble Dayu?"

The giant replied: "I don't want to trouble Dayu either." ”

Gengchen asked again: "Then what are you going to do?"

The giant replied, "I will chase after the sun." ”

At the end of this question, the giant had already run to the shore of the chasm.

All the people looked up at the giant, who seemed to be like a giant spirit, shirtless, barearmed, and with a short skirt sewn of deerskin around his waist. Bare-legged and foot-to-foot. Looking at the face, a pair of thick eyebrows are like two bamboo brooms. It was thick and dense, and the two big eyes shone like two shooting stars. The nose is as high as a mountain beam, the mouth is square, the beard is thick, and the hair is scattered. The tendons on the arms and legs are protruding, and a pair of big feet are like two big boats, and the ten toes are like ten hammers, all of them are stout.

The giant ran to the chasm in a few steps, and crossed the chasm in one step, and the earth under the giant's feet shook violently, and every time the giant took a step forward, there was a sound of "Tong", and people were like a group of small ants at his feet, so small that they were pitiful.

At this time, all the people on the construction site stopped what they were doing, tilted their heads, and watched the giant step over their heads. The giant's footsteps were too big, and he stepped past all the people on the construction site, more than 10,000 people and soldiers, and none of them were trampled to death by the giant.

Tengyun, the four heavenly generals, followed the giant, for fear that he would be unfavorable to the people, so he was always vigilant and kept sending the giant away.

Who is this giant, where is he going, and what is he going to do? Dayu suddenly became a young man's curiosity. So he shouted into the air: "Where is Ying Long?"

Ying Long replied: "Ying Long is here." Listen to Xia Bo's orders. ”

Dayu pointed to the back of the giant going west with his hand and said: "Ying Long took Boyi to catch up with the giant, and asked him who he was, where he was going, and what he was doing?"

Boyi heard Brother Dayu call himself and Ying Long to see the giant, and he was very happy, which was exactly what he wanted. So without waiting for Dayu to finish speaking, he said that he obeyed the order, and jumped onto Ying Long's back. Ying Long also said that he obeyed the order, and then took Boyi and took Boyi into the air, chasing him westward like an arrow.

Bo Yi and Ying Long saw the giant rushing forward from a distance. Ying Long took out his true skills and used a flying fire meteor technique, and the dragon's tail spewed out a beam of flames from behind him, shooting forward like a burning rocket.

Ying Long flew a pillar of incense and finally caught up with the giant. Ying Long flew to the giant's ears with Boyi, like a dragonfly flying in people's ears, Boyi put his hands to his mouth and shouted at the giant's ears: "Giant, who are you?"

The giant replied, "My name is Kwafu." ”

Boyi asked again, "Kuafu, where did you come from?"

Kwafu replied, "I have come up from the East Sea." ”

Boyi asked again, "Why are you running?"

Kwafu replied, "I will chase after the sun." ”

Boyi asked again: "Why do you want to chase the sun?"

Kwafu replied, "I will compete with the sun to see who can run faster!"

Boyi asked, "Can you catch up with the sun?"

Father Kua replied, "Surely!"

Kuafu ran as hard as he could, answering Boyi's question.

Boyi said: "Kuafu, good, let's go with you to catch up with the sun." ”

Kuafu kept running in great strides, and the sun shone like fire around noon, shining on all things on the earth. Kuafu is so hot that he sweats, and the closer he chases to the sun, the hotter the weather gets, and the more Kwafu sweats. Kuafu felt that his mouth was dry, and the sweat all over his body was about to run out, and his body felt as if it was about to be roasted dry. Kuafu's mouth was wide open, gasping and running, all the while running towards the west.

As Kuafu got closer and closer to the sun, Kuafu ran hotter and hotter, and his body felt as if it was about to burn.

Chased until the evening, chased to the place where the sun set in the west. This place is called Yu Valley. Kuafu's eyes were so hot that his mouth was on fire, and he finally stopped. Climb to the edge of the Yellow River and drink the water from the Yellow River in a big gulp. "Goo Dong, Goo Dong, Goo Dong", he drank and drank, the more he drank, the more thirsty he became, the more he drank, the more he wanted to drink, and he kept drinking the water in the Yellow River.

But his mouth was still thirsty, so he ran to the edge of the Wei River again, climbed on the side of the Wei River and drank the water of the Wei River.

However, Kuafu was still thirsty, so he wanted to run to Xuanli in the north to drink the water from the Xuanhu Lake. He staggered to the north, but before he could reach the edge of the lake, he died of thirst.

Kuafu's tall body fell to the ground with a "grunt", and the wooden staff in his hand was also thrown aside. Until he died, he was still thinking about chasing the sun, with his head facing west.

After Kuafu's death, his body turned into a big mountain, and people called this mountain Kuafu Mountain, and his cane was thrown on the ground and turned into a forest, which was also called Deng Lin.

Boyi and Ying Long witnessed all this with their own eyes. At this time, the sun is about to set. So Ying Long and Boyi flew back to the camp and reported everything they saw to Dayu and the others.

Dayu and everyone sighed and talked about it. Some admire, some regret. Dayu said: "Although Kuafu is arrogant and arrogant, he does not measure himself, and he has not caught up with the sun until he died. But this kind of perseverance of Kuafu is worth learning from. We must also have this persistent spirit when we guide rivers and control waters. We will not withdraw our troops until we achieve a final victory. ”

Everyone replied in unison: "Yes, if you do not win the final victory, you will never withdraw your troops." ”

Day by day, the journey is advancing day by day, starting from the Yellow River in Xingyang, passing through Bianliang, and then turning to the south, connecting Jishui, passing through the fields, entering the Yinghe River, and going straight down to the Huai River in the Huaiyin section. After a few months, the gap has been dredged, and in the end, only a few critical places leading to rivers and water are left, which have not been opened, and will only be opened in the final stage.

Dayu summoned Ying Long and said, "Ying Long's turn this time it's your turn to show off your skills." The chasm and the rivers and waterways have not yet been opened, so you have to open them up one by one. Along the way, if there are still places that have not yet been opened, or the section is not deep enough, you have to open up and flatten, when you see the Yellow River and the Huai River, when you will complete the task. ”

Ying Long agreed: "Ying Long understands." Before the words fell, Ying Long was gone.

Ying Long came to the place where the embankment of the Yellow River meets the chasm, first explored the dragon's claws and grabbed a deep ditch on the embankment of the Yellow River, and then stretched the dragon's tail into the Yellow River, stirred the water with an oolong, and then used the dragon's tail to make a trip. Wade out of a wide, deep waterway. The water of the Yellow River immediately poured into the chasm from the breach. The torrent is rolling, and the turbid waves are choppy. Ying Long followed the current all the way forward, clearing obstacles one after another. It also connects Jishui, connects Putianze, and leads to the Ying River. It also connects Pushui, Bianshui, Suishui, Whirlpool, Ruhe, and Surabaya, all the way to the Huai River. Ying Long grabbed a few more claws on the bank of the Huai River, and then grabbed a wide and deep river channel, and let the flood in the chasm rush and roar into the Huai River. Then it followed the Huai River into the East Ocean.

When the 10,000 people saw the fruits of their labor, they cheered and jumped with joy.

So far, the floods on the Central Plains have all receded, and Dayu has achieved a comprehensive victory in water control. Dayu and the four heavenly generals, the four generals, and the five small ones cheered for victory with 10,000 people.
