Chapter Eighty-Four: Three Emperors and Five Emperors Rule the World
However, it was said that after the Queen Mother of the West returned to Heaven, she ordered hundreds of officials to perform their duties, promote cronies, and eliminate dissidents, and soon put down the turmoil in Heaven, and the human realm reincarnated by Haotian was also thriving at this time.
After the governance of the three emperors of heaven, earth and man, the living standard of the human race has been greatly improved, and it is no longer as backward as after the Lich War.
Xuanyuan ruled the human race for 52 years, and according to the movement of the sun, moon and stars, combined with what he had learned, he wrote the book "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", which includes 81 articles of "Su Wen" and 81 articles of "Lingshu", each with nine volumes.
This book is completed, there is Shennong's family from the Huoyun Palace, told that its merits are complete, when the throne of the emperor is passed down, and then go to the Huoyun Palace to repair, the Yellow Emperor heard the words of great joy, then convened the ministers, announced the abdication, and ordered the ministers to elect the new emperor.
Some ministers recommended Xuanyuan's grandson, Xuanyuan, who was rarely virtuous and could be in charge of the human race, and the ministers seconded it. After hearing this, Xuanyuan nodded in agreement, and ordered everyone to prepare for the succession.
Three days later, according to the rules of the first two emperors, Xuanyuan first worshiped the Holy Master, the Holy Mother, and the Taishang Laojun, and then passed the throne of the human emperor to his grandson Zhuan Xuan under the witness of the Honghuang people.
Just after Xuanyuan passed on the position of the human emperor to Xuanyuan, the two holy emperors of Fuxi and Shennong descended from the sky in a dragon chariot, and said to Xuanyuan with a smile: "Congratulations to the emperor's brother for his merits and attaining the position of human emperor, and he can go to Huoyun Palace to practice with me." After speaking, he gave up half of his seat and invited Xuanyuan to sit with him.
Xuanyuan saluted and said: "Bothering the two imperial brothers to come, Xuanyuan is terrified. After speaking, he boarded the dragon chariot and flew to the Huoyun Palace with Fuxi and Shennong.
At the moment when Xuanyuan boarded the dragon chariot, a merit carried Hongmeng purple qi from the sky, and also promoted Xuanyuan's cultivation to the late stage of quasi-sainthood. There are dozens of merits that fall all over the wilderness, and they are obtained by the immortals who helped Xuanyuan back then.
Because the Yuyi clan did not want to participate in the internal fighting of the human race, the merits obtained were not as good as the first two emperors, and the cultivation was the lowest among the three ancestors of the human race, and only the cultivation of the middle stage of the quasi-saint was achieved.
As for the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Sect, because they killed too many ordinary human races, not only did they not have the slightest merit, but they provoked boundless cause and effect.
Xuanyuan's preaching this time was ordered to take away the Kongtong seal and Xuanyuan Sword together, and only passed down the Nine Dragons Star Crown, since then the era of the Three Emperors has ended, and the human race has entered the era of the Five Emperors.
Since then, it is difficult for those who have great merit among the emperors to enter the Huoyun Palace to practice, and they can only enjoy the wealth of the world. Later generations believed that Shennong had fire virtue, so they respected him as Emperor Yan; Xuanyuan had soil virtue and respected him as the Yellow Emperor, and later generations called themselves the descendants of Yan and Huang.
Although the five emperors of the assistant have merit, they are far from being compared with the teaching of the three emperors, not to mention that with the living example of the twelve golden immortals, the Yuan Shi Tianzun no longer dares to send disciples lightly;
However, it is said that the queen of the successor is called Gaoyang, and encourages the people to raise all kinds of crops and livestock to make full use of the earth's resources, calculate the four seasons to conform to nature, follow the ghosts and gods to formulate etiquette and righteousness, straighten out the qi of the four seasons and five elements to educate the people, and purify the body and mind to sacrifice to the ghosts and gods.
During his reign, he also underwent an important religious reform. Many small tribes that had been conquered by the Yellow Emperor generally worshiped all kinds of small ghosts and gods, and forced them to obey the teachings of the Yan and Huang tribes, and only worshiped the great gods who had helped the human race, such as the Holy Mother Taishang Laojun and the sages of the human race and the zodiac signs, and banned the sacrifice of all kinds of ghosts and gods, and this reform promoted the integration between the clans.
He reigned for seventy-eight years, and was located in Gaoxin, and was the emperor. Emperor Yu was born with a lot of aura, he was deaf and clear-sighted, he could understand the situation in the distance, and he could gain insight into subtle matters. He obeyed the will of Heaven and understood the needs of his people.
The emperor ruled the people, as impartial as rain watering farmland, all over the world, wherever the sun and moon shined, where the wind and rain went, no one was disobedient and submitted.
After the death of the emperor, his son Zhi inherited the throne, but the emperor did not have any outstanding political achievements. In the ninth year of the emperor's reign, his close relatives led officials to the Tang Dynasty to put the emperor's throne in Fangxun, and Fangxun succeeded to the emperor's throne, and the emperor was called Yao.
Yao shared weal and woe with the people, developed agriculture, properly handled all kinds of government affairs, and governed the world in an orderly manner, which was supported by hundreds of officials and ordinary people.
At the beginning of Yao's succession, the astronomical calendar was not perfect, and the people often delayed the agricultural time, so Yao summed up the experience of his predecessors according to the experience of his ancestors, formulated a calendar according to the appearance of the sun and the moon and the rank of the stars, and prudently taught the people the seasons for production; according to the movement of the sun, moon and stars and other celestial phenomena and natural phenology to deduce the time and determine the four seasons; and took the moon cycle as one month, the sun cycle as one year, and set the year as 366 days, and used the method of placing leap months to correct the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
When Yao reached old age, he listened to the recommendation of everyone, cultivated Shun as an heir, and married his two daughters, Empress E and Nuying, to Shun, to investigate Shun's character, and let Shun handle political affairs instead of himself, so as to observe whether it was in accordance with the will of heaven for him to be the son of heaven.
In the later period of Emperor Yao, the flood suddenly flooded, and the people were miserable, Di Yao asked a group of ministers: "The Tang Tang flood is monstrous, the vast mountains and Xiangling, the people are worried, and there are people who can make the ruler?"
All the ministers said that it was impossible to govern, and Di Yao nodded and agreed, letting Kun go to control the flood.
After knowing that Di Yao ordered him to deal with the flood, he smiled and said: "If you want to cure the flood, it is a matter of effort, Yao is really useless." Everyone laughed
Since his arrival, he has led everyone to start to deal with the floods, but the Kun only knows how to block but does not know how to sparse, and if there is water in the east, it will block the east, and if there is water in the west, it will block the west, and so on. This plug overflowed, and Kun was busy for nine years and did not control the flood.
In the end, Shun acted as the Son of Heaven and beheaded Kun in Yushan to punish him for not treating the flood well, and accepted the advice of the people, and sent Kun's son Dayu to continue to control the flood.
After Dayu was appointed, he immediately inspected the river with Yihe Houji and summoned the people of the world to help. He examined the reasons for the failure of the cang, decided to reform the method of water control, changed the blocking method to the channeling, personally climbed the mountains and mountains, crossed the river and crossed the river, took the tools, measured the height of the terrain from west to east, set a benchmark, and planned the waterway.
Dayu led the migrant workers to travel all over the country, opening mountains and building embankments in the mountains, and bringing floodwaters into the sea. In order to control the water, Yu tried his best, was not afraid of hard work, and never dared to rest, but Dayu had to face not only floods and mountains, but also all kinds of spirits that accompanied the water.
On this day, Dayu came to the vicinity of Tongbai Mountain, and suddenly saw the wind on the Huai River, lightning and thunder, Huai Water seemed to be driven by an unknown force, and the wind and waves were great.
After a while, I saw a churning above the water, and a water monster floated up. I saw that the water monster looked like a giant ape, about 100 zhang high, a pair of powerful claws glowing with golden light, and there was fishy water flowing out of the mouth and nose from time to time, which was filthy and smelly, so that people did not dare to approach. This water monster is the primeval Ahuizotl Wuzhiqi. This ape is good at change, rivaling the Nine Dragons, and is good at controlling water, and it is said that the art of water control is not much worse than that of co-workers.
In Zifu Continent, in the hall of the word "water", Shen Zui, who was preaching, suddenly smiled slightly, and said to himself: "The Chijiri horse monkey is in the world, but he should be my disciple!" After saying that, he instructed Sun Yuan, who was listening to the sermon below: "Sun Yuan, go to Tongbai Mountain for your uncle to bring your junior brother!"
Yuan Jue's ears moved slightly when he heard this, but he had already discovered the Chijiri horse monkey on Tongbai Mountain, and hurriedly said excitedly: "Disciple obeys!"
In the hall of the word "water", before Shen Zui re-preached, he saw an iron rod and a giant axe suddenly appear in front of Nujiao, and then he heard a long sigh, "Nujiao's love is here!
Hearing this, Nujiao gave a deep salute, "Thank you for your guidance!" After saying goodbye to Shen Zui and all the junior brothers, she also went to Tongbai Mountain.
