Chapter Seventy-Three: The Nine-Tailed White Fox Speaks Medium
Early the next morning, Dayu raised the account. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info said: "Although Tu Jiao was robbed and disappeared, everyone felt very sad. But it doesn't mean that this incident has affected us from digging rivers and controlling water. Xuan Gong and Huang Ge will, as always, lead 20,000 people to work to control the water. The four heavenly generals can leave two people to protect the safety of the water control people, and the other two can continue to look for Tu Jiao's traces in the air, and a few little brothers and I are still looking along the ground, and as soon as there is news, they will inform each other. ”
Dayu gave an order, everyone was in place, and the sky will rise to patrol in the air. He will lead the people to the river to control the waters. Dayu was about to get up and leave the camp and continue to look for Tu Jiao. Suddenly, Bo Yi said loudly: "Brother Dayu, look, nine-tailed white fox!"
When everyone heard this, they all turned their eyes to the direction of Boyi's finger. Sure enough, a snow-white nine-tailed white fox ran in from the camp gate as if no one was around. Nine fluffy tails, raised upwards, like an open feather fan. swaggered straight to the big tent of the Chinese army.
Bo Yi hurriedly pulled out the sword from his waist and held it in his hand. stepped forward to stop him, and shouted loudly: "Evil animal, stop, is this Chinese army tent where you came?"
The nine-tailed white fox came closer, and suddenly stood up, instantly turning into a white-bearded old man dressed in white. I saw that he had a white beard and white hair, and a white face. Two white eyebrows, two eyes shining, wearing a snow-white silk robe, a white silk cloak, and a white whisk in his hand. Standing in the wind, the fairy wind is bone, and the style of the fairy family is a faction.
Dayu and several little brothers were stunned when they saw this. One by one, their eyes widened as they watched what was happening in front of them. I didn't figure out what was going on for a while, so I just stayed there.
Seeing this, Shennongzi ran over and circled around the old man in white. Then he raised his face and asked, "Old man, are you a human being, or are you a white fox?"
The old man in white laughed and said, "Haha, you little doll is asking interesting, so what did you see?"
Shennongzai said: "Earlier, I saw a nine-tailed white fox, and then I saw him turn into a white-bearded old man. ”
The old man in white said: "Then you say that I am a nine-tailed white fox, and I am a nine-tailed white fox." You say I'm an old man with a white beard, and I'm an old man with a white beard. ”
At this time, Pythagorean and Jiuzhang also came forward at the same time, and the four of them surrounded the old man in white in the middle.
Bo Yi held the sword in his hand and asked, "Then what do you have to do in the big tent of the Chinese army where Dayu controls the water?"
The old man in white laughed again, and said with a smile: "Dayu's little brothers are really extraordinary, all of them are young talents, not bad, not bad." ”
Bo Yi urged: "I asked you what you did when you came to the big tent of the Chinese army in Dayu to control the water, and you haven't answered yet?"
At this time, Dayu came over and said, "Brothers, don't be polite to the elderly, everyone come here!"
Only then did the four little brothers withdraw from the siege and return to Dayu's side. Dayu clenched his fists and arched his hands, and asked forward: "I don't know where the old man is, what are you doing here?"
The nine-tailed fox said: "I want to see Xia Bo to discuss important matters." ”
Dayu said: "I am Dayu, please sit down, old man, talk about something slowly." ”
After the nine-tailed white fox sat down, he looked Dayu up and down. I saw Dayu wearing a hat, wearing a short hexagram, high trouser legs, bare feet, and tanned skin. Tall build, strong physique, strong muscles. Looking further down the face, there is thick black and shiny hair, and a healthy and ruddy face. Sword eyebrows, tiger eyes, lion nose, and eagle beak are really a talent. He said to himself: "It's really a horse among horses, a dragon and a phoenix among people." There is only one person under the Big Dipper, and there is no other person in the world. ”
Dayu asked: "I don't know what happened to the old man when he saw Dayu?"
The nine-tailed white fox said: "I heard that a girl was lost in Xia Bo's camp and was kidnapped and disappeared by Wu Zhiqi's little demon, I don't know if there is such a thing?"
Dayu sighed and said: "Don't hide it from the old man, Dayu is worried about this matter, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead at the moment." Dayu is preparing to go out of the camp again to find, if the old man has a clue, Dayu will be grateful. ”
The nine-tailed white fox said, "Wait for me to take a hexagram." ”
With that, he closed his eyes, stretched out a hand, pinched his fingers and counted. After a while, the nine-tailed white fox opened his eyes and said slowly, "Could it be that this girl is Tu Jiao, the daughter of Tu Shanhou, the monarch of Tu Shan Kingdom?"
Dayu replied: "Exactly"
The nine-tailed white fox continued: "According to the hexagram, this Tu Jiao girl seems to have the fate of a fairy. Although he was in trouble, he was blessed with a great life, and he had the help of the gods, so he did not have to worry about his life. ”
Dayu said: "Please also ask the old man for guidance." Dayu hated to be able to immediately give birth to his wings and rescue Miss Tu Jiao. ”
The nine-tailed white fox said: "Xia Bo must not be in a hurry, that Tu Jiao girl has this catastrophe in her life, this is also the number of days, and now the disaster period is not over, so Xia Bo can't find her yet." ”
Dayu asked eagerly, "When will I see her?"
The nine-tailed white fox said: "It depends on Xia Bo's own attitude. ”
Dayu asked, "My attitude?
The nine-tailed white fox said: "Yes, I heard from what Xia Bo said just now, Xia Bo is very concerned and concerned about the safety of this Tu Jiao girl, and there must be a deeper emotional relationship." ”
When Dayu heard this, his face turned red with a "hu", and he knotted and said: "This, this, it's not like this, it's not like this." ”
The nine-tailed white fox said: "Don't hide it from Xia Bo, there is such a joint here, that is, if it is a relative to save Miss Tu Jiao, it will be easy, and if someone else goes to save Miss Tu Jiao, it will be even more difficult." That's why I asked Xia Bo if he had a further relationship with Tu Jiao. In addition, although it was not before, from now on, as long as Xia Bo agrees to marry Tu Shanguo, propose to Tu Shanguo, and marry Tu Jiao as his wife, so that this joint will be opened, and this matter will be easy to handle immediately. ”
Dayu heard the nine-tailed white fox say this, but he was in trouble for a while, so he was silent. Bo Yi heard it clearly, and then interjected: "Brother Dayu, Sister Tu Jiao has always been affectionate to you, and one of her hearts has already been handed over to you, which is a well-known thing." You propose to Tu Shanguo and marry Tu Jiao's sister, this is a matter of time or time. Right now, at the critical moment of Sister Tu Jiao's life and death, why are you spitting up? Is this a man, the responsibility that a big husband should have?"
Dayu sighed again and said: "Why don't I want to propose to Tu Shanguo and marry Tu Jiao as his wife? At such a moment, how can I delay the great cause of water control because of my children's personal feelings?"
Boyi was explained by Dayu for a while and had nothing to say, so he looked at the nine-tailed white fox with eyes asking for help. The nine-tailed white fox has a lot of experience and knowledge. Seeing Bo Yi signaling to himself, he said: "Xia Bo's words are bad, since ancient times, it is a major human affair for men to marry women, and marriage will only make men more responsible, more responsible, and more able to work hard." I have never heard that marriage will affect a man's career and delay a man's future. Looking at the ancient sages, there is one who never marries for the sake of his career and is single all his life? Could it be that the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor are like this? Are Di Yao and Di Shun like this? Neither of them are? Moreover, marrying a man and a woman and having children are also the responsibilities and obligations that every adult man and woman should have to society and mankind. If both adult men and women are not married, they will not have children. So in another 100 years, won't mankind become extinct? If all mankind is extinct, then what will we do with the water?"
A sentence made Dayu irrefutable, and he muttered in his mouth: "This ----- this-----。 ”
Under Boyi's encouragement, the four little brothers said in unison: "Brother Dayu is about to agree!" "Brother Dayu is about to agree!" "We miss Sister Tu Jiao." ”
Dayu said: "In order to save Tu Jiao, I am willing to do whatever I want, and marrying Tu Jiao as a wife is also my dream all along." However, at present, the great cause of water control is in a critical period, how can I put aside the great cause of water control and propose marriage and marry? On the water control site, more than 20,000 people are watching my every move!"
The nine-tailed white fox said: "I don't know if Xia Bo's water control project has been going smoothly recently?"
Dayu replied: "It didn't go well. The Huai River water demon witch Zhiqi sent little demon minions to the camp every night to harass them, disturbing more than 20,000 people in the camp all night. As a result, people work during the day, listless, and have no energy, and they cannot do the work they do on weekdays for two days. ”
The nine-tailed white fox said: "Xia Bo doesn't know, there is a difference between controlling the Huai River and the Yellow River, and governing the nine rivers. To control the Yellow River and the Nine Rivers, Xia Bo adopted the method of 'governing backwards', that is, first of all, starting from the estuary of the river to dredge and dredge, the channel of the river into the sea is wide, and it is accumulated, and the flood in the upper reaches will naturally flow down smoothly, and the water will be rewarded with success, and the song of triumph will be played.
The difference between the Huai River is because there is Wu Zhiqi, the "No. 1 Strange Demon in the World", who occupies the Huai River. Wu Zhiqi stood by the water of the Huai River and relied on the flood of the Huai River to make his fortune. The greater the water, the greater his sphere of influence. Therefore, when you came to control the Huai River, you touched his lifeline and choked his throat. How can he give up and let you control the water easily? He will not only make trouble, he will fight, but he will defeat you, kill you or drive you away. ”
Dayu asked: "Is it because Wu Zhiqi is vicious, will I not cure the water of the Huai River?"
The nine-tailed white fox said: "Of course, the water of the Huai River still needs to be treated, and this Wu Zhiqi must also be eliminated." However, according to the method you are using now, it is not enough, you live, he disturbs, you dig, he fills. In addition, hostage is taken, and in this state, you cannot control the water wholeheartedly. ”
Dayu asked: "Then according to the old immortal's opinion, what should I do?"
The nine-tailed white fox said: "If you want to control the water of the Huai River, you must first marry the Tushan Kingdom, which is the most powerful prince in the Huai River Basin. You have to use the power of the Tushan Kingdom to jointly defeat the Huaihe Water Demon Witch Zhiqi. ”
Dayu said: "But Wu Zhiqi occupies thousands of miles of Huai River, if you enter, he will retreat, thousands of miles of Huai River have his hiding place, he is like a loach fish, he can't catch it, he can't catch it." ”
The nine-tailed white fox said: "So now, you take the opportunity to rescue Miss Tu Jiao to kill two birds with one stone." The first is to marry Tu Shanguo, first propose to Tu Shanguo, and marry Tu Jiao. The second is to plan in advance to stop, and when he marries Tu Jiao, he leads Wu Zhiqi out of the hole. Then defeat him with Tu Shan Guoguo. ”
Dayu asked, "Can Wu Zhiqi come?"
The nine-tailed white fox said: "If Wu Zhiqi finds out that you are marrying in Tushan Kingdom, he will definitely take advantage of the opportunity of your marriage, thinking that you will be paralyzed and careless, and he will beat you off guard." And on your side, if you plan well in advance, you will give him a way to lure the snake out of the hole and end it all. ”
Dayu was overjoyed and said: "Good plan, good plan, just do what the old fairy said." ”
The nine-tailed white fox said: "This is called killing two birds with one stone, on the one hand, you and Miss Tu Jiao became close, and on the other hand, you eliminated Wu Zhiqi, isn't it beautiful." ”
Dayu said: "How can Tushan country be thousands of miles away, if I go to ask for relatives, it will take ten days and a half months to go back and forth, plus various etiquette, discussions, it will always take more than a month." How can I leave my post without permission, and leave the front line of digging rivers and water control to seek relatives?"
The nine-tailed white fox said: "There is no need for Xia Bo to go to Tushan Country to ask for marriage in person, just need Xia Bo to write a marriage proposal document and send a messenger to go." The rest is left to the old decay. Xia Bo only needs to spare four days to go to Tushan Country to complete the marriage in person. During this time, Xia Bo could dig the river and control the water, and at the same time arrange the strategy and tactics to capture Wu Zhiqi. While waiting for good news. ”
Dayu asked, "What about Tu Jiao?
The nine-tailed white fox said: "At present, Tu Jiao has arrived in a safe place, there is no danger, Xia Bo can rest assured." Xia Bo can write a letter of courtship, and then send a token as a dowry. ”
Dayu asked: "The man proposed to the woman, why did he give the woman a dowry?"
The nine-tailed white fox said: "The man gives the woman a dowry gift, on the one hand, to show the man's sincerity and importance to the woman. On the other hand, after a woman gets married, she has to go to the man's house with the man to live, and she can't be filial to her parents. In order to repay the parents for their kindness to their daughter, the man has to give some money and goods to the woman's parents as compensation. ”
Dayu said: "I can write the document form of asking for marriage, but I don't have a token that can be used as a dowry." I don't have anything else here except the Book of Heaven, the Summoning Talisman for water control, the Chibi Erjian, the river map, the measuring ruler and the mountain opening axe, how can I be good?"
At this moment, I suddenly saw a big bird flying from the sky, all blue, except for the red face. Flew to the tent and fell to the ground with a pop. In the blink of an eye, he became a big man. Wearing a blue robe, a red face, and carrying a green cloth burden behind his back. After seeing Dayu, he hugged his fists and saluted, saying, "Xia Bo is okay?"
Dayu saw that it was none other than the big ostitrix, one of the three blue birds in front of the Queen Mother of the West. hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "It turned out to be the messenger of the Queen Mother of the West, Da Ying, has always been good?"
The big eagle said, "The Queen Mother of the West knows that you don't have a dowry for marriage, so she sent me to bring you a bag of treasures. As he spoke, he untied the burden he was carrying and presented it. Dayu took it with both hands, opened it and saw that the baggage was full of jade, white jade, amber, agate, pearls and gold jewelry, which were priceless. Dayu is embarrassed by the lack of a dowry, and this time it's okay. It's more than enough to use these treasures as a dowry.
Dayu asked Da Yu to thank the Queen Mother of the West on his behalf. The big eagle said goodbye to Dayu, turned around and went into the air, and instantly turned into a blue bird again, and flew back to Kunlun Mountain to return to the Queen Mother of the West.
The nine-tailed white fox said: "It seems that Xia Bo is absolutely extraordinary, and the matter of courting marriage has alarmed the Queen Mother of the West, and it is the dowry given by the Queen Mother of the West." Amazing, amazing. ”
Dayu is very happy, this gift proves that even the Queen Mother of the West is in favor of marrying a wife. There is no burden in my thoughts, and I am active in action. So he took out a pen and bamboo slips and wrote a marriage letter. The marriage book reads: "The Minister of Water Control in China, Xia Bo Dayu." I would like to ask Tu Shanguo for marriage and marry Tu Jiao, the beloved daughter of Tu Shanhou, as his wife. It is good to marry Tu Shan Guoyong. I implore the Marquis of Tu Shan to marry in anticipation. Xia Bo Dayu bowed. ”
Dayu wrote the marriage book, and the nine-tailed white fox said: "Xia Boke sent a marriage proposal envoy to Tushan Country with the old man to propose marriage and hire him." ”
Dayu pointed at Boyi and said: "Brother Boyi, this matter is the most suitable for you to do." Please go to Tushan Country with the old immortals. ”
Boyi said: "Brother Dayu, please rest assured, Boyi will definitely live up to his mission." Do this matter well, and do the scenery, create momentum, let Wu Zhiqi know. ”
The nine-tailed white fox said: "Xia Bo, don't worry, then we will go to Tushan Country to say goodbye." ”
Dayu asked, "I don't know how long it will take to go back and forth?"
The nine-tailed white fox said: "Let's go today to talk about matchmaking and accept dowry gifts, tomorrow Tu Shanguo will prepare for a day, and Xia Bo can go to get married the day after tomorrow." ”
Dayu was startled when he heard this, and said, "Why is it so fast?"
The nine-tailed white fox said: "This is an extraordinary thing in extraordinary times. When encountering extraordinary things, we must use extraordinary methods. I went with Boyi Gongzi, that is, a pillar of incense, in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, I was originally the ancestor of Tushan Country, and the affairs of Tushan Country were completed as soon as I got there. Being a matchmaker and giving a dowry is just a matter of procedure. The day after tomorrow is Xinri. Early in the morning, I came to greet Xia Bo, and Xia Bo rode Ying Long to get married. The rest is up to Shaber himself. ”
After that, he grabbed Boyi's hand, rolled to the ground, and then turned into the appearance of a nine-tailed white fox again, drove a whirlwind, and took Boyi to the southwest.
