Chapter Fifty-Six: The Great East China Sea Embraces All Things
Dayu listened to the East China Sea God Ah Ming said that he would tell everyone about the East China Sea, and immediately aroused his interest and said: "The god said that I was full of curiosity about this magical East Sea, and I really wanted to know what kind of magical world it was. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoSince the Venerable God is interested, please tell us about it. When Boyi, Pythagorean, Jiuzhang, Tu Jiao, and Shennongzai heard that the East Sea God was going to tell a story, they said in unison: "Let's talk about it! ”
The East Sea God Ah Ming said: "Okay, then I'll talk about it." ”
"This eastern sea, said to be big, with a radius of tens of thousands of miles. It is said that he is deep, and the sea is ten thousand feet deep. Under the whole world, the largest is the sea, the Oriental sea can contain all things, hundreds of times larger than the land of China.
The virtue of the sea is tolerance. The sea is committed to embracing all things. All the rivers of the earth poured into the sea, but the sea did not increase at all. When there is a drought, the rivers and lakes on the earth dry up, but the sea water does not decrease at all.
There is a saying called 'the sun rises in the East Sea', which means that the sun rises from the east sea. There is also a saying called 'the moon rises from the sea', which means that the moon also rises from the sea.
If the sea can hold the sun and the moon, what else can't the sea contain?
In the middle of the Oriental Sea, there is a place called 'Guiru', and this 'Guiru' has no bottom. Therefore, all the excess water in the sea flows into the 'return to the ruins'. There is also a place called 'Sea Eye', which is the place where sea water bubbles out. When there is a shortage of water in the East China Sea, the sea will burst out of the sea.
One year, at the turn of summer and autumn. On the land of China, the autumn water rises sharply. The water in the Yellow River overflowed the riverbed and flooded into the lowlands on both sides. The downstream river channel has been widened to dozens of miles, and there is no distinction between the two banks. At this time, Hebo was very proud, thinking that the Yellow River under his jurisdiction was the most spectacular water world in the world. So he stepped on the waves of the Yellow River and came all the way to the edge of the East China Sea.
For the first time, he saw the vast sea of the East Ocean. Not only did he sigh with admiration: "Before I saw the East China Sea, I thought that my Yellow River was the most magnificent water world in the world." Today, when I saw the East China Sea, it opened my eyes to how small I and my Yellow River were. My incompetence is really ridiculous in the generous house. ’”
Dayu asked: "According to the legend, the sea has become a mulberry field, is it true?"
Ah Ming, the god of the East China Sea, said: "The sea is eternal, but the sea is changing, but the changes of the sea are only partial changes. It is one part of the sea that has changed, not the whole of the sea at once. The sea has become a mulberry field. It is just that the change of a certain part of the sea, the seabed is raised, the sea water recedes, and the exposed seabed becomes the earth, and then it becomes a mulberry field. And part of the earth will also settle and fall, turning from mulberry fields to the sea. This is the 'change of the sea'.
For example, the part of the East China Sea under my jurisdiction near the mainland has experienced three great changes. ”
Dayu asked again: "Legend has it that there are five immortal mountains in the East China Sea, and there are immortals living on the immortal mountains, I don't know if it's true or not?"
Ah Ming, the god of the East China Sea, said: "There are countless immortal mountains and immortal islands in the East China Sea. Some of the islands are full of coral trees. Some fairy islands are covered with pearl hawksbill turtles and sea shells, while others are full of agate and jadeite. There are also Liuli Island and Treasure Island, which are really countless.
One of the most famous is the five immortal mountains inhabited by the gods. These five immortal mountains, one is called Daiyu, one is called Yuanqiao, one is called Fanghu, one is called Yingzhou, and one is called Penglai.
On these five immortal mountains, there are strange trees, good trees, strange flowers and plants, rare fairy fruits, green mountains such as daisies, green grass such as yin, white clouds out of Xiu, fairy springs gushing. and there was gold and silver, and jade, and pearls, and agate.
The houses, towers, and palaces on the fairy mountain are all made of gold, silver, and white jade. Decorated with coral, tortoiseshell, precious stones, and pearls, the immortals wore silk as thin as silkworm wings, and the immortals ate fairy fruits, and drank flower dew and fairy wine. The immortals gather all day long, or drink, or play chess, or play the piano, or sing, or play, and when they are happy, they can also go to the world for a walk.
However, these five immortal mountains have no roots and float on the surface of the sea. Drift with the sea breeze and drift with the current. If you're here today, you'll be there tomorrow. The immortals on the five immortal mountains were afraid that the immortal mountains would drift overseas, so they asked the Emperor of Heaven to find a way to fix the five immortal mountains, and the Emperor of Heaven handed over this matter to Beihai Shenyu Qiang and asked him to do it.
Beihai Shenyu sent fifteen giant turtles, divided into three classes, each of the five giant turtles for one class, each giant turtle with a back to carry an immortal mountain, so that it could not move. The giant turtle changes shifts every 60,000 years.
Whenever the giant turtles of the mountain change shifts, a great change occurs in the East China Sea, when there is an earthquake on the earth and a tsunami in the sea. ”
Dayu asked again: "Are there many monsters like the black shark dragon in the East China Sea?"
Ah Ming, the god of the East Sea, said: "There are all kinds of monsters in the sea, and there are countless small characters like the black shark dragon, and he does not enter the flow of the sea at all.
There is a big fish in the North Sea called Kun, the body length of the Kun is unknown, and its back is like a mountain when it is exposed to the sea. The kun also changes, and when it jumps out of the sea, it transforms into a big bird, and this big bird is called Peng. Peng's back is thousands of miles away. It soared high, its wings like clouds hanging from the sky. Whenever the sea is stormy, Peng has to migrate from the North Sea to the South China Sea.
The South China Sea is vast and magical. When Peng migrated to the South China Sea, his wings flapped and hit the water, causing the waves of the sea to stir up three thousand miles and roll up a storm. It flaps its wings and soars into the sky. The wind is under its wings, Peng rides the wind, carries the blue sky, and nothing can stop it. It has been flying towards the South China Sea, and this flight will take six months before it reaches the South China Sea.
There is also a big fish in the East China Sea, called whales, and Ren Guo's son wants to catch it. So he made a hook out of steel as thick as an arm, a cable for a cable boat, and ten roasted cows for bait. Squatting on Huiji Mountain, holding a fishing rod, throwing a long fishing line and throwing bait into the East China Sea.
Ren Guogongzi squatted on Huiji Mountain, fished for three years, and finally a big fish bit the hook. Ren Guogongzi was afraid that he would not be able to pull the fishing line, so he wrapped the fishing line around the mountainside of Huiji Mountain. The big fish pulled the fishing line, sank to the bottom of the water, struggled, and cocked the fins on the surface of the sea like sails, stirring the waves of the sea as high as mountains, and the sea shook. The roar of the big fish shook thousands of miles away like a ghost howling. After seven days and seven nights, he was finally exhausted and floated to the surface of the sea with his belly up.
Ren Guogongzi asked someone to help, pulled the big fish to the shore of the East China Sea, cut off pieces of fish meat from the big fish, and let people eat them as they pleased. From the east of Huiji Mountain and the north of Cangwu Mountain, there is no one who does not have a full meal of big fish and meat. ”
Dayu sighed: "The East China Sea can really tolerate all things, and it can accommodate such a huge fish to live in it." ”
While he was talking, he suddenly saw a small bird flying through the air, the size of a petrel, with a black body, a flower head, a white beak, and red feet. She flew over the East China Sea and threw a branch in her mouth into the East China Sea. He turned around and flew back.
Dayu felt very strange and couldn't help asking, "What is this little bird doing?"
The East Sea God Ah Ming said: "The name of this little bird is 'Jingwei', and it was transformed by the heroic soul of Emperor Yan's youngest daughter after her death. ”
Dayu said: "Please tell me in detail, what is going on?"
The East Sea God Amin said: "That's the case. Your ancestor, Emperor Yan Shennong, cared about the suffering of the people and treated the people. Therefore, I personally tasted all the herbs in order to choose the herbs that could cure people's diseases. In the process of tasting herbs like this, he was poisoned many times. After each poisoning, drink tea to detoxify. The last time I tasted a highly poisonous mushroom. This time the poisoning was the deepest, and drinking tea did not work, and he was in a coma for seven days and seven nights, and only one breath remained. There is no herb that can detoxify him in the land of China.
Yandi Shennong's youngest daughter, named Nuwa, was so anxious to look for medicine everywhere. I met a fairy by chance, and the fairy told the girl that there were five fairy mountains on the East China Sea, and one of them was a fairy grass on Penglai Fairy Mountain. It is called "Hui Tiancao", and if you can find "Hui Tiancao" and give it to Yandi Shennong, you can immediately detoxify.
So the girl decided to cross the East China Sea and go to Penglai Xiandao to ask for medicine to save her father.
The girl jumped into the East China Sea with a "plop". Swimming all the way to the depths of the sea, the girl swam for seven days and seven nights, but she didn't find Penglai Fairy Island. By this time, she was exhausted, and only the last faith was left to sustain her. Another huge wave hit in front of her, and the girl couldn't support it anymore, and was swallowed up by the sea all of a sudden.
Although the girl's body was drowned in the sea, her faith is immortal, and her soul is not gone. It turned into a small bird, the size of a petrel, with a black body, a flower head, a white beak, and red feet. She vowed to fill in the East China Sea so that innocent people would not be drowned in the raging waters. So he flew to the western mountain and brought branches and stones, and threw them into the East China Sea to fill in the East China Sea. ”
When Ah Ming, the god of the East China Sea, said this, he suddenly saw "Jingwei" flying to the East China Sea with a stone again.
Sanqi Immortal God Nongzi couldn't help but say at this time: "It turns out that Jingwei is my aunt, my aunt is really great." ”
Boyi said: "Shennongzi has climbed the high branches, how did Jingwei become your aunt?"
Shennongzai said: "Since Emperor Yan Shennong is my grandfather, isn't Emperor Yandi Shennong's daughter my aunt?"
Bo Yi was so refuted by Shennongzi that he had nothing to say, so he said forcefully: "You said it was your aunt, you call her and see if she agrees." ”
Shennongzai said: "Just call it, anyway, I'm not pretending, let alone climbing high branches." After that, he clenched his hands into a trumpet tube, put them to his mouth, and shouted loudly to Jingwei: "Auntie, I am Sanqi Immortal God Nongzai, do you recognize me?"
Who knew that when Jingwei heard the shouts of the Sanqi Immortal God Nongzai, he really turned around and flew over. flew to the top of Shennongzai's head and circled, nodded to Shennongzai, chirped a few times in his mouth, and then turned around and flew to the sea.
Dayu, the East China Sea God Amin, and everyone were all surprised. Unexpectedly, Jingwei actually understood the words of the Sanqi Immortal God Nongzai, and also recognized this nephew.
Shennongzi was really flattered and ecstatic when he saw that Aunt Jingwei recognized him as a nephew. I couldn't help jumping, jumping, somersaulting, and dancing. said to Boyi: "How about it, my aunt really recognizes me, are you convinced, jealous or not?"
Bo Yi really didn't expect that Sanqi Immortal Shennong Zai really had a relationship with Yandi Shennong. Jingwei really recognized this nephew, this Shennongzi is really a real guy, not a dragon and a phoenix. I am also proud and happy to have the friend of Shen Nongzai, only envy, not jealousy.
Ah Ming, the god of the East China Sea, said: "Jingwei went to the West Mountain to hold branches, stones, and reclamation, determined to fill in the East China Sea, she is so persistent and persevering, maybe after tens of thousands of years, the East China Sea will really be filled by her!"
Dayu said: "The perseverance of Jingwei reclamation is the spiritual quality that all the descendants of the Yan and Huang people of our Chinese nation should have. When we dig rivers to control water, we also need to have the spirit of Jingwei. Perseverance, digging the river more than once. One day the flood will be subdued by us. ”
Boyi. Shennongzi said in unison: "Brother Dayu is so right, we must also persevere." ”
Ah Ming, the god of the East China Sea, said: "Listening to Chongbo's words made me admire Chongbo's spirit even more. With such heroism, there is nothing in the world that cannot be done. We, the god of the sea, will also try our best to help Chongbo. ”
Ah Ming, the god of the East China Sea, continued: "There is also a kind of kiwi bird on the edge of the East China Sea, whose name is 'Shrike'. 'The Shrike' is so similar to the swift that it can only be distinguished when they take off. When they first flew together, it was the swifts that flew to the east, and the shrike that flew westward. There is an idiom in the world called 'Lao Yan flies separately', which is about shrike and swifts.
Everyone let out an "ahhh After Donghai God said this, I realized that the "Lao Yan Flying Separately" that was often said on his lips was actually like this!
Dayu asked again: "May I ask the gods, how many sea gods are there in the sea?"
Ah Ming, the god of the East Sea, said: "The South China Sea has the South China Sea God Zhurong, and the West Sea has the West Sea God Zhuliang." The two of them are brothers. There is also Yu Qiang, the god of the North Sea, plus me, we are a total of four sea gods. Above the four of us, there is also a Great Eastern Sea God Monarch, whose name is Yu Hao, and Yu Hao is the father of Yu Qiang, the god of the North Sea. Yu Hao is in charge of our four seas in the east, west, south and north."
Dayu asked: "Is Yu Hao the god in charge of the sea in the world?"
Ah Ming, the god of the East Sea, said: "We, the god of the East Sea, the god of the South Sea, the god of the West Sea, and the god of the North Sea, are only in charge of the affairs of the near sea of the four directions. Only Yu Hao is the god of the East China Sea who dominates the sea of the world. He is the king, and all four of us are ministers. Now I'm going to help Chongbo invite this Great Eastern Sea God Monarch out. Dayu asked: "My "Summoning God Rune" can't summon his mother?"
The East Sea God Ah Ming said: "The status of the Great East Sea God Monarch is on the same level as the Queen Mother of the West. His name is not on your "Summoning God Rune", so you can't summon him, this time only the Great Eastern Sea God Yu Hao can help you defeat the Black Shark Dragon. ”
Dayu said: "I just want to meet this Dadong Sea God, then Lao Zunshen will personally help me invite him."
Ah Ming, the god of the East China Sea, replied: "Chongbo, please wait a while, I will come when I go."
