Chapter 102 Traveling Westward to Control the Water and Chopping the Willows
Dayu took the dragon to chisel open the spout of the pot and remediate the ten-mile dragon trough. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć At this point, the water control project in the middle reaches of the Yellow River has been completed, and the Yellow River has achieved a decisive victory. At present, only two or three places in the upper reaches of the Yellow River need to be rectified, but those are only small projects that have finally "ended". It doesn't affect the big picture anymore.
Dayu led everyone back to the camp. After everyone celebrated together, they set up camp and returned to Fenglingdu along the Yellow River.
Four heavenly generals, four mortal generals, five little brothers, Tu Jiao and Qi'er, and five hundred soldiers talked and laughed along the way, beaming with joy.
There are white clouds in the blue sky. The spring breeze warms, the grass is green and the flowers are red, the eagle strikes the sky, the brocade scales swim, and the people's hearts are unrestrained.
Within a few days, he returned to Fenglingdu. Dayu summoned everyone to a meeting and announced that the troops would be divided into four ways and act separately.
The first road sent Chang Xin, with the seal he wrote to the imperial court, to return to the imperial capital Linfen and report to the emperor.
The second way, send Xuan Gong, Huang Ge and Pythagorean, Nine Chapters, Xiao Yu. He led 500 soldiers down the Yellow River to the foot of Xingyang's Pishan Mountain and set up camp. Prepare to dredge the chasm, connect Jishui, Surabaya, and reach the Huai River.
On the third route, he sent Zhuhai to the lower reaches of the Yellow River and the vassal states that benefited along the way, such as Jishui and Surabaya, to levy people's husbands and grain and grass. After he went to the west to govern the upper reaches of the Yellow River and came back, he also went to the camp in Bishan to meet together.
On the fourth road, Boyi and Shennongzi escorted Tu Jiao and Qi'er's mother and son back to the fiefdom of Xiayi to live in Yinglong. Because the next stage of water control is scattered and remote places, it is not safe and convenient for Tu Jiao and Qi'er to go together. Besides, Qi'er has reached the age when it is time to start reading. After returning to Xiayi, he asked Boyi to hire a moral and learned teacher for him to teach Qi'er to read. After Boyi and Shennongzi sent Tu Jiao back to Xiayi, they took Yinglong straight to the west and joined him on the Nuwa Refining Stone Beach in the upper reaches of the Yellow River.
The fifth road is to take the four heavenly generals from here to the west to remediate two sections of the upper reaches of the Yellow River.
After Dayu finished the distribution, he shouted into the air: "Ying Long listens to the order"!
Ying Long appeared in front of Dayu in response and said: "Ying Long is here, listen to Hou Xiabo's orders." ā
Dayu instructed: "You take Boyi and Shennongzi to escort Tu Jiao and Qi'er back to the fiefdom of Xiayi in the south." After settling down, you will take Boyi and Shennongzi all the way to the west to meet me at the beachhead of the Yellow River where Nuwa is refining stones. ā
Ying Long replied, "Ying Long understands. ā
Dayu was dispatched, and everyone went on their own way. Tu Jiao is the only one who is not at ease, and Dayu goes to the West alone to control the water. Tell Dayu to pay attention to safety, not to be overworked, to eat on time, pay attention to rest, and not to worry about himself and Qi'er. I will find a good teacher for Qi'er and train Qi'er to be a person who can do something like his father.
Dayu kept nodding in agreement, and told Tu Jiao to take good care of herself and not worry about herself.
Ying Long has been waiting aside. Bo Yi found a straw mat and draped it on the dragon's back, and asked Tu Jiao and Qi'er to sit on it. Shennongzi and Boyi sat behind Tu Jiao. After everyone sat down, Ying Long slowly rose into the air, and then flew all the way south, heading straight for Xiayi. Qi'er rode the dragon to the sky for the first time, and she was happy to dance. Look down, everything is fresh. While looking down, pointing and pointing, there was a fuss.
Let's talk about Dayu, leading the four heavenly generals, taking the road to Chengji and Minshan all the way to the west. Go straight to the beach of Nuwa refining stones in the upper reaches of the Yellow River.
Dayu went to the west to govern the upper reaches of the Yellow River. And the project of dredging the chasm on this side of Bishan will also have to wait for him to start after he returns, and the time is tight and the road is far away. So Gengchen used the "shrinking method", just like when the three blue birds led Dayu to Kunlun Mountain to meet the Queen Mother of the West. The four heavens will drive the clouds in the air, and Dayu walks on the ground alone. Although Dayu seems to be walking slowly, it is actually very fast. I saw the mountains and rivers on both sides of the road retreating rapidly, and the seemingly distant peaks in front of me flew in front of me in a blink of an eye.
In less than half a day, it has already reached the Chengji (today's Tianshui). Chengji is the place where Fuxi, the ancestor of humanities, painted gossip in those years. There is a huge bluestone slab in the field, called the Bagua Terrace. Chengji is also the place where Di Yao led his soldiers to exterminate the Nine Infants. It is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization.
When Dayu walked through the gossip platform, he saw the gossip painted by Fuxi back then, which was still clearly recognizable. The eight symbols of Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Dui and Gen are deeply engraved on the bluestone slab.
Dayu walked forward for a while, and then came to the foot of Minshan. As far as the eye can see, it is full of desolation, and there are no people in a radius of hundreds of miles. The ravines are crisscrossed, the sewage is cross-flowing, the houses are collapsing, and the countryside is barren, which is shocking to see.
Dayu wondered in his heart: Could it be that there are goblins here, otherwise how could they be plagued into such a scene? So he took out the "Summoning God Rune" and sacrificed it to mid-air, and read: "Dayu controls the water, orders the gods and ghosts, where is the god of Minshan Mountain?"
As soon as Dayu's words fell, I saw an auspicious cloud rising from the top of Minshan Mountain. He floated all the way here, and when he got closer, a mountain god came down from the clouds.
I saw that the mountain god was like a Pixiu standing up. It has snow-white hair, black limbs and tail, two dark circles, two black ears, and a bamboo whip in his arms. Dayu looked Pixiu up and down, and saw that he was full of auspiciousness, and he was not a goblin at first glance.
Pixiu saw Dayu bowing and said, "Minshan Mountain God Minzhu has seen Xia Bo, I don't know what Xia Bo commands?"
Dayu also returned the salute with his fists and said: "There is nothing to do, there is also Lao Zun God, just because I see this radius of a hundred miles, a mess, no people, I don't know what will happen here?"
Minshan Mountain God Min Zhu replied: "Back to Xia Bo, there is really a monster in this area, whose name is Xiangliu, also known as Xiangyan, and it is a big snake with nine heads. This willow is huge, and loves to eat dirt the most, and when it is coiled up, it looks like a mountain, and when it is stretched out, nine heads can eat the soil on nine mountains at the same time. He turned out to be a minion of the water god. After the defeat of the communist sappers and the death of Zhou Shan, this Xiangliu became a lonely ghost and guarded the Gonggong platform alone. He often wandered around, and after he came here, he saw that the mountains and rivers were beautiful, especially the soil on several mountains was particularly sweet and delicious, so Xiangliu often came here to eat the soil. At first, they only ate the soil of the mountains, but then they began to eat roe deer, wild deer, and the cattle and sheep of the people, and then they began to eat people. Wherever Xiangliu passed, the earth collapsed, the sewage flowed sideways, the smell was unpleasant, the grass and trees did not grow, let alone grow crops, and if people touched it, they would be poisoned and die. The local people were miserable by the scourge, and they were afraid of being eaten by Xiangliu, so they left their hometown and fled to other places to make a living, and this place completely became Xiangliu's world. ā
Dayu was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Is there no one who can cure Xiangliu?"
Min Zhu said: "When Emperor Zhi was in power, the imperial court sent Kong Ren to lead the official army to conquer and suppress. However, most of it was eaten by Xiangliu, and only Kong Ren fled back with a few soldiers. In the future, no one dared to fight Xiangliu, so Xiangliu has always dominated one side here and does whatever he wants. It's good that Xia Bo has arrived this time, and the end of the scourge of Xiangliu has come. ā
Dayu asked, "Where is Xiangliu now?"
Min Zhu replied: "Xiang Liu usually lies on the northwest corner of the Gonggong Platform, with his head facing west, guarding the Gonggong Platform. When he was tired of being there, he wandered around and did whatever he wanted. ā
Dayu asked: "Where is the Gonggong Platform and how far is it from here?"
Min Zhu replied: "Gonggongtai is at the foot of Buzhou Mountain (now called Green Ridge) due west, but a few hundred miles, I can lead Xia Bo to go with me." ā
Dayu said: "Then there is Lao Zun God, let's go." ā
Minshan god Minzhu, led Dayu and the four generals to the west for a while, turned over a few mountain beams, looked ahead, only to see a huge python, full of yellow-green tiger stripes, is scurrying in the col. The giant python is a hundred zhang long, ten feet thick, and the strangest thing is that there are nine long necks on one body, and each neck has a head, each head is the size of a dill, and they all shake their heads and spit letters, showing off their might.
Min Zhu pointed at the giant python and said, "This is Xiangliu, it is very powerful, Xia Boke should be careful." ā
Dayu said: "I know, please go back, let's go and clean up Xiangliu." ā
The god of Minshan saluted Dayu and said goodbye, and drove the clouds back to his Minshan. As soon as Dayu walked down the hill, he was discovered by Xiangliu. When Xiang Liu saw someone walking in his direction, he was overjoyed, thinking that he could eat again this time, so he rushed over. There was a puff of sand and dust along the way. Nine heads, all vying for the lead. They all want to eat first.
Dayu saw that Xiangliu did not retreat but advanced, and looked fearless. Unconsciously angry and angry, he said to the four heavenly generals: "Go up and hit it with no eyes." The four generals replied: "Obey." Then he threw himself at Xiangliu.
Xiangliu saw that Dayu and the generals not only did not run away, but also rushed towards him, and he was also very puzzled. Because the people in the past saw that they were all fleeing from the wind, and suddenly saw that four of them would still soar into the clouds, and they were also shocked. However, I don't pay attention to it, because I have never missed. So the nine heads let out a roar like a tiger and a wolf at the same time. Nine heads are divided into nine ways to meet Dayu and the heavenly generals.
The four heavenly generals Tengyun arrived first and took the lead in attacking Xiangliu. Gengchen is in the upper left, Yu Yu is in the upper right, Kong Lu and Dazhang are on both sides, four weapons are raised, respectively, attacking the four heads of Xiangliu, Dayu then followed, and took the head of Xiangliu in the front straight from the middle.
Gengchen twisted the spear in his hand, made a move of the golden snake out of the hole, and stabbed a snake head stretched out by Xiangliu. The snake head originally wanted to swallow Gengchen in one bite, but he didn't expect that his head had not reached Gengchen's face, Gengchen's spear arrived early, and the silver light flashed, and with a bang, it pierced the throat of the snake head. The big gun twisted hard, pulled out, and a stream of black blood spurted out, and the head also fell down.
Yu Yu's big ge, from the upper right to pick up the enemy, two snake heads scrambled to attack Yu Yu, Yu Yu saw it, not slacking off, picked up the big go, made a move to sweep thousands of troops, the wind started, the golden light flashed, cut off a snake head, the snake head fell to the ground, spurting out a stream of black blood from the neck cavity. The other snakehead shrank back in fright.
Kong Lu danced the double whip, straight to the snake head stretched out to himself, the steel whip in his left hand led the snake out of the hole, with the eyes of the snake, the steel whip in the right hand followed by a single move, "snap" loud, the snake head was split in half, and a stream of black blood spurted out.
Dazhang swiped the double copper hammer in his hand, and on the other side met a snake head attacking him, the copper hammer in his left hand hit the grass and startled the snake, and the copper hammer in his right hand smashed the top of the gourd with a trick, smashed it from above, and with a click, the snake head was smashed, and the two snake heads hung down.
Dayu was on the ground, waved the mountain god axe, and with a move, the dragon was in the field, and cut the snake head that stretched out to the front. The snake head was about to open its mouth to swallow Dayu raw, and suddenly saw the axe shining in front of him, startled, hurriedly shrank his head, and luckily dodged an axe. Who knew that Dayu immediately followed up with a move Kanglong regretted, and returned with another axe, cutting off the snake's head with a click, and the big snake's head "purr" rolled down the hillside.
Xiangliu's five snake heads were cut off, almost at the same moment.The other four heads were frightened with a howl of "wow", turned their heads and fled back, at this time Dayu had already jumped up, waved away the magic axe and made a move to fly the dragon in the sky, and cut off a snake head.
The remaining three snake heads, howling, fled quickly towards the Gonggong platform, not daring to even turn their heads back along the way.
Dayu and the four heavenly generals, taking advantage of the victory to pursue, the four heavenly generals drove the clouds on the top of Xiangliu's head, chasing and fighting. The four heavenly generals will deal with the three snake heads like frightened birds, and regardless of whether they are on their heads or bodies, the four blades greet together. After a period of indiscriminate slashing and killing, Na Xiangliu had just fled to the Gonggong platform, and he couldn't escape anymore. The remaining three heads hung down, and they fell to the ground and could not get up again. Dirty blood flowed all over the ground, and the smell was unpleasant.
When Dayu arrived later, everything here had returned to calm, Xiangliu's body was full of holes, bruises, and the blood had been drained, leaving only a shriveled stinky skin.
Dayu saw the dirty blood all over the ground, and was afraid that someone would meet it and die. He ordered the four heavenly generals to dig out the mud soaked in dirt and blood, and built a high platform in the south of the Gonggong platform, which was named the platform of the emperors, and the descendants also called it the platform of the five emperors. The ground where the sludge was dug out turned into a deep pit filled with water, which was named Blue Pond.
, Dayu eliminated Xiangliu, got rid of the people who fled to other places in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and returned to their homes one after another, living and working in peace and contentment.
