The three men continued to look for a way out of the valley. It was thanks to www.biquge.info fall from the cliff just now that I came to this valley by mistake. Otherwise, I would never have thought that I would be able to find Mr. Houtu in this inaccessible valley.

Dayu They walked along the mountain stream to the foot of the mountain and saw a cave. The three men came to the cave and looked into the cave. I saw an old fairy sitting on the stone bed in the cave, with a silver beard, silver hair, five locks of long hair fluttering on his chest, a wide forehead, a high nose bridge, and red phoenix eyes. Wear a white outfit. Hand whisk, otherworldly.

When Dayu saw it, he thought, looking at the temperament, this old man must be Mr. Houtu, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted. said in his mouth: "Dayu saluted Mr. Houtu." The old gentleman asked, "Who is the son, and why do you salute?" Dayu replied: "I am a student of Mr. Huaxiazi, Chongbo is my father, my name is Dayu, and I made a special trip to worship Mr. Houtu as a teacher." ”

The old man looked Dayu up and down, and saw that he was a twelve or thirteen-year-old young man, handsome and chic, and his temperament and expression were very different from ordinary people. Then he said: How do you know that I am Houtu?" Dayu said: "I took the liberty to salute Mr. because of his unique temperament and demeanor." Mr. Houtu said: "Your teacher Huaxiazi, I have heard of him, he is an immortal. I have also heard of Chongbokun, and now he is the minister of water control of Di Yao. If it is really a famous teacher who comes out of a high apprentice, he will be out of the tiger. However, the students that Hua Xia Zi has taught, I'm afraid I can't teach them, and I can't be your teacher. ”

Dayu said: "The disciple went out this time to find his father and help him control the flood. Teacher Hua Xia Zi once told his disciples that when they pass by Huashan, they must visit Mr. and ask him for knowledge of geography and mountains and rivers and hydrology, so as to use them for water control. Mr. Wang did not hesitate to give advice. ”

Mr. Houtu then said, "In that case, let's stay for the time being." He asked again: "Who are the two people who follow behind?" Dayu replied: "It is the two partners who grew up together as a disciple, and they heard that I am going to help my father control the water, so they also want to follow me to make contributions and be a helper for me." Houtu said, "Then let's all live together." ”

Mr. Goto's education is mainly the study of mountains, rivers, geography, soil, and water conservancy. He is extremely accomplished in these areas, and there is no second person in the world who can reach his level.

After the three of them lived, Mr. Houtu first asked Dayu what books he had read, and Dayu answered them one by one. To the questions raised by Mr. Houtu, Dayu answered them fluently. Mr. Houtu couldn't help but praise: "Sure enough, he is a genius from heaven, born with wisdom, touching the bypass, and returning to one corner with three corners." ”

The next day, Mr. Houtu began to give a lecture to Dayu, and he said: "500,000 years ago, the world was in a state of chaos and chaos, and it was pitch black. However, in the midst of this dark chaos, a life was born. This life has been conceived in chaos for 136.5 million years. On this day, life was conceived and he rose from the chaos. He was tall, athletic, well-limbed, and full of wisdom and inspiration in his head. This person is Pangu.

Pangu was overwhelmed by the chaos, so he wanted to separate the chaos. Pangu lifted his hands up and stomped his feet down, slowly parting the chaos. The clear and light part rises and becomes the heavens, and the turbid and heavy parts sink down and become the earth. So heaven and earth were separated.

Pangu stood between heaven and earth, stepping on the earth under his feet, holding the blue sky with both hands. Pangu's body grew one foot taller every day, the heavens rose one foot every day, and the earth thickened one foot every day. Pangu grows one mile taller every year, and the sky rises one mile every year. And the earth grew thicker every year. Pangu grew 90,000 years tall, and the sky rose 90,000 miles. and the earth was thickened ninety thousand miles. From then on, Pangu no longer grew taller, the heavens no longer rose, and the earth no longer thickened.

After Pangu's physical body completed the mission of opening the world, he lay down on the earth to rest. We call this death. Pangu's soul ascended to heaven and became the emperor of heaven who ruled over all things in the world. Pangu's body became a part of the earth.

Pangu lay on his back on the earth, with his head facing west and his feet facing east. Gradually, the head of Pangu turned into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The two ears turned into the Himalayas and the Kunlun Mountains. The nose turned into Mount Everest.

Pangu's chest turned into the Loess Plateau, the Mongolian Plateau and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

Pangu's belly turned into the North China Plain, the Northeast Plain and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Pangu's heart, liver, five organs and stomach and intestines have been transformed into Nanling, Wuling, Qinling, Leng Ling, Xing'an Ridge, Changbai Mountain, Hengduan Mountain, Taihang Mountain, Tianshan Mountain and three mountains and five mountains.

The blood vessels and veins of Pangu have been transformed into the Yangtze River, the Pearl River, the Heilongjiang River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Luo River, the Wei River, the Fen River, the Ji River, the Nine Rivers and lakes and streams everywhere.

Pangea's hair turned into forests, trees, farms, and flowers.

Pangu's limbs turned into four Optimus Primes, which were separated in the east, south, west, and north of the earth.

Pangu's teeth turned into jade and treasures hidden in the earth.

Pangu's right eye became the sun in the sky, and Pangu's left eye became the moon in the sky.

The consciousness and inspiration in Pangu's mind flew into the sky and turned into three stars, Beidou, Xiu, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and the sky full of stars.

Since Pangu opened up the land, more than 400,000 years have passed, and the world has experienced several changes from the sea to mulberry fields, and the earth has become what it is today.

The most recent time is that the co-foreman can't touch the mountain, the heavenly pillar is broken, and the ground is extinct. The sky tilted to the northwest and the earth to the southeast. Today, the terrain of the world is high in the west and low in the east, and it is distributed in a stepped manner.

The Kunlun Mountains, Qilian Mountains and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the west are the highest and are the first tier. From here to the east, to Yin Mountain, Taihang Mountain, Wushan line, the terrain is medium and high, is the second ladder. From Yinshan, Taihang Mountain, Wushan to the east, all the way to the East China Sea, the terrain is flat and low-lying is the third ladder. ”

"Since the topography of the world is high in the west and low in the east, the water in the world must naturally flow from west to east. The Yellow River originates from the Bayankala Mountain in the south of the Kunlun Mountains, and flows eastward, northward, southward, and eastward, until it flows into the Oriental Sea. ”

"The Yellow River is upstream from its source to Hekou Town. This section of the river flows down from the snow-capped mountains, clear and pure. Along the way, there was Tao River and Huangshui injected, and the amount of water began to increase.

From Hekou Town to Mengjin is the middle reach. This section of the Yellow River flows through the Loess Plateau, because the Loess Plateau lacks vegetation, the loess is loose, easy to be washed away, a large amount of loess, sediment with rain, mountain torrents flow into the Yellow River, so that the Yellow River from the original Qingshui River, into a yellow sediment river.

From Mengjin to the East China Sea as the downstream. The Yellow River flows into the lower plains, widening its channel and slowing down its flow, leaving a large amount of sediment from the middle reaches to accumulate in the riverbed, so that the downstream channel rises above the flat land on both sides, becoming an 'above-ground river'. So it often floods and diversions. Now the plains of the lower reaches of the Yellow River have become a swamped country, and the floods are raging, and the people have taken refuge in the mountains. ”

After talking about the Yellow River, Houtu talked about the Yangtze River.

Houtu said: "The Yangtze River originates in Tanggula Mountain, south of Kunlun Mountain. All the way to the east, to the south, and then to the east, into the East China Sea.

The Yangtze River from the source to Yichang as the upper reaches, along the way to accept the Minjiang River, Jialing River, Wujiang River, Dadu River and other tributaries of the river, mighty flow to the Three Gorges, after rushing out of the Three Gorges, to Yichang. This section of the river, coming from the plateau snow mountain, the river water is clear and the water flow is turbulent.

From Yichang to Hukou, it is the middle reach. When the river comes out of Yichang, the flow rate suddenly slows down, the sediment is deposited, the river bottom is raised, the river channel is tortuous, and the lakes are dotted. In the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the Han River, the Xiang River, and the Gan River are gathered. Once again, the flow of water has increased.

From the mouth of the lake to the East China Sea, it is the downstream, the downstream terrain is gentle, the flow rate slows down, the sediment is deposited, the mouth of the Yangtze River becomes a trumpet, two or three hundred miles wide, and the rivers and seas are connected. ”

"The Huai River is different. The Huai River originates in Tongbai Mountain, sandwiched between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and flows all the way to the east. It does not belong to the Yangtze River or the Yellow River, but is self-contained.

Most of the way it flows through is plains. The Yellow River to the north of the Huai River has broken its mouth many times in history and diverted its course to "seize the Huai River into the sea". The sediment of the Yellow River has blocked the Huai River's access to the sea, leaving the Huai River without its own estuary, so the low-lying land in the middle reaches of the river has accumulated water into a lake. Because of poor drainage, a situation of heavy rain, small rain, and no rain and drought has been formed.

Although the Huai River is much smaller than the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, the Huai River has an important geographical position, that is, the Huai River and the Qinling Mountains to the west of it form an east-west horizontal line. This horizontal line is the dividing line between the south and the north of the world. The south of the Huai River and the Qinling Mountains is the south, and the north of the Huai River and the Qinling Mountains is the north, and we also call the north the "Central Plains".

Dayu listened attentively to the lecture of Houtu, he had never heard such a thorough explanation of the geography of the world, it was really a clear cloud and a blue sky, and he was enlightened. secretly thought: "This Mr. Houtu must also be an immortal." ”

Dayu was right. This Mr. Houtu is indeed an immortal. He was originally Chiyou's son, but because he was dissatisfied with Chiyou's cruelty and domineering, he ran away from home in anger. A lifetime of research on water conservancy and soil. No matter where Houtu went, he guided the people to build water conservancy, cultivate soil fertility, and irrigate farmland. The fertile soil, irrigated and irrigated, yielded a bumper harvest. Therefore, Houtu is deeply loved by the people. The common people respect Houtu as the "shrine god". It is the same as Houji being revered as the "god of Ji". "Shejin" and "Jijin" are collectively called the gods of "Sheji". It is sacrificed by the descendants of the Chinese nation every year until today.

After talking about the rivers in the world, Houtu talked about the distribution of the three Taiping Plains, the four plateaus, the five major lakes and mountains, the direction of mountains and rivers, the formation of climate, the distribution of rainwater, and so on.

In the blink of an eye, Dayu has been studying at Mr. Houtu for three months. One day, Houtu said to Dayu: "The knowledge I have learned has been passed on to you, and it is enough to use this knowledge to help your father control the water." However, the flood has already flooded most of the world, and it is by no means possible to be subdued overnight, and manpower alone is not enough. It also takes people's efforts and God's help, and maybe it can be successful. ”

"I will give you two more sentences as a mantra for water control. One sentence is called only 'only the nature of the water, not to compete with the water', and the second sentence is called 'can only be channeled, not blocked', let's say goodbye today, I wish you an early success in water control. ”

Dayu shed tears and said goodbye to Mr. Houtu, with Xuangong and Huang Ge. I went down Huashan Mountain, went all the way to the east, went to find my father, and helped my father control the water.
