The red sky covering the sky

Chapter 200
"The emperor gave Chongbo the power to fertilize the soil, but he didn't use it well. This magical thing even caused the embankment to collapse, and the water leaked into the land thousands of miles away on both sides of the river."

"Thousands of tribes were displaced, hundreds of thousands of people were buried in the water, and the collapse of the embankment declared the failure of Chongbo's method of controlling water..."

"Now the Central Plains is completely covered in water. Although the people can live in the mountains, there is no land for cultivation. There is not enough food, and the people will be resentful. Please ask the emperor to make preparations in advance." Hou Ji said.

Hou Ji, whose surname is Ji and whose given name is Qi, is the ancestor of the Zhou tribe. He served as a farmer during the three emperors Yao, Shun and Yu. In the era of Dayu, he also proposed the earliest grain reserve plan, which is equivalent to the current Central Grain Reserve. .

Therefore, there is nothing new under the sun. All the major events we have seen and all the policies and systems we know have been seen and implemented by our ancestors long ago.

Getting back to the subject, as the saying goes, when gods and men are born, they must have different appearances. Hou Ji's birth is almost the same as that of Fu Xi.

His mother is a descendant of Emperor Yan, named Jiang Yuan. I don’t know if she has heard the story of Fu Xi. When she went out, she stepped on the footprints of a giant.

Of course, we don’t know whether she is simply curious or wants to imitate her ancestors.

All we know is that, like the Hua Xu family, she became pregnant without a husband, but unlike the Hua Xu family, Jiang Yuan was extremely frightened after becoming pregnant.

After she gave birth to Ji Qi, she prepared to abandon him, which is also the origin of his name.

But gods are gods after all. Although Ji Qi did not have dragons and horses to protect him, he was left at the intersection, and the cattle and sheep naturally avoided him, making his presence visible to everyone at a glance.

Later, she wanted to throw him farther away into the mountains and forests, but there happened to be a group of people who came to the mountains for no apparent reason. Jiang Yuan was so thin-skinned that she was embarrassed to throw her child in front of so many people.

Then he threw him on the frozen river. Otherwise, he was a god. Before Jiang Yuan could go far, a big bird fell from the sky and protected Ji Qi as a bird egg.

In the end, Ji Qi, who was thrown away three times, was finally taken back. If Ji Qi was a modern person and curiously asked his mother where she came from, then Jiang Yuan could answer him with all her heart, you came from the trash can Picked up.

This matter has also aroused the interest of many people. After all, over the years, gods and men have come to the world in so many different ways. In other words, Fuxi was born after his mother felt the footprints of a giant, and the identity of that giant was also revealed by a group of bad guys. , none other than Thundergod Lei Ze.

It can be seen that from ancient times to the present, there has never been a shortage of gossipers.

Therefore, after the death of the Fuxi family, there are still many good people in Emperor Shun's era. According to the practice at that time and the exchanges between the descendants of various great gods, they all agreed that the giant footprints were left by the Emperor of Heaven. of.

But the most concerning thing is the place where Ji Qi was buried after his death. Dayu buried this elder of the three dynasties in the "Wild of Duguang". This is the residence of the god "Plain Girl" and the former Jianmu. A place of growth.

Jianmu was cut down and abandoned by Emperor Zhuanxu, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, who happened to have the surname Ji.

Now Hou Ji, as the director of the agricultural department, is in charge of the people of the world. Although the flood has subsided, the country is still in swamps everywhere.

This resulted in no arable land for farming, and without farming, there would be no food. Without food, people's hearts would be panicked. Once people's hearts were panicked, it would lead to instability in the throne and wars.

"The most urgent task now is to introduce the flood into the East China Sea, let the earth emerge from the water, and then use magical powers to restore the land to farming, in order to stabilize the people's hearts." Hou Ji added.

"I know that the Xiang Yao clan has led various tribes to dig water channels to guide the river water, but the floods have washed away the earth veins, causing the earth veins to be disordered, and the water veins have completely collapsed. If they are not restored, there will be another flood sweeping the world. "

After Emperor Shun listened carefully, he put his hand on his forehead and said.

"Then control the water!"

"But now that Uncle Chong is dead, who can take on this important task?"

"Wen Ming, the son of Chong Bo, I heard that although he was young, he had already put forward his own opinions on water control. When everyone was counting on the levee, he was the only one who said that the levee was not enough."

"Ou~ Wen Ming, I have some impressions, but he is too young, so I'd better let Xiang Yao take charge while he studies on the side."

……

"To control the flood, we not only need to introduce the raging water into the East China Sea, but also sort out and restore the earth's water veins. Moreover, this flood has caused the water monsters to continue to cause chaos and come ashore to eat people. Therefore, these troublesome monsters must be strangled, so , can we completely quell the flood!"

Wen Ming stood on the remains of the embankment. After his father died, he grew up overnight. Although his face was still childish, his thin body already had the bearing of a superior.

"But sorting out the earth's and water's veins is not what we are good at. Moreover, those water monsters have become very powerful with the blessing of the water. I'm afraid we can't do it alone."

Chong's water showed bitterness. He knew that what Wen Ming said was right, but no one could help them now. Most of the people were draining the flood waters and trying to save enough farmland.

Therefore, even with Emperor Shun's order, they can be said to be fighting alone.

"Nothing. I heard that a son of Zhu Rong was born in the south and was very effective in controlling the floods in the south. I want to go to the south to learn their methods of controlling floods and ask them to send troops to help."

Wen Ming looked determined, and then embarked on the road to the south alone.

When Wen Ming came to the south, the first person he met was Jiang Chili's eldest prince, Jiang Gungun, who was now becoming more and more plump.

The reputation of the iron-eating beast spread to all directions with Chi You. The ancestor of the iron-eating beast is an authentic innate god and demon, and because of his character, he accidentally discovered himself and broke through to the realm of freedom, becoming this A rare strong man in the world.

Most of the innate gods and demons, as soon as they are born, are in the realm of mastering the fate of refining the void and combining the Tao to control their own destiny. If they work hard, they can enter the realm of great freedom.

But the great freedom cannot be achieved by hard work. This state can only be achieved by enlightenment. Some people can achieve it in one day, while others can only sit there for countless years.

Fengshen Yinhu was the latter. He studied hard and searched hard, but found nothing for thousands of years, so he set his sights on the South China Sea Emperor Sui.

Therefore, Jiang Gungun's reputation in the south is also very great. When the people of the Jiuli tribe see him, they bow to him and offer a lot of offerings. This is one of the reasons why he has become more mellow.

And Jiang Gungun also has a good personality, he is very gentle. The time when Jiang Chili was in seclusion was when he took on the responsibility as the eldest prince. He fulfilled the responsibility of an eldest brother, so that although Chang Ying was proud, But not arrogant, confident but not arrogant.

Therefore, he has many fans in the south, and he even has a group of exotic beast brothers.

Wen Ming didn't believe that the mountain-like iron-eating beast in front of him was the son of Zhu Rong at first. It wasn't until he saw that the second prince Changqin was a fire spirit born from the earth, and the third prince Changying was a hybrid of god and dragon, that he knew , this generation Zhu Rong is a weirdo with unique hobbies and prefers animals more than people. This has had a profound impact on his unformed three views.

He followed the third prince of the Zhu Rong clan and learned their water control methods. The three of them all learned Jiang Chili's source skills. Sorting out the earth's veins and measuring the water channels were just like eating and drinking water for them.

Wen Ming learned a lot, formed a profound friendship with the three of them, and became involved with Zhu Ronglishi.

By the time he was 20 years old, he had mastered the three source techniques and developed new ones to form his own source techniques.

Of course, in the Dafuli Divine Land, the origin technique is not called the origin technique, but Kanyufa. After all, the origin does not exist in the Dafuli Divine Land, and the name origin technique is too lofty. "Old Jiang, Old Jiang, open the door, I know you are inside! Open the door quickly!"

On Wen Ming's 20th birthday, the floods in the south were about to subside completely, so he said goodbye to a few people and planned to return to the north to control the river. It had been eight years since he came out, and the north had also been flooded for eight years. .

After hearing his plan, Jiang Gungun took him to the Great Light Realm and all the way to the outside of the Chitian Temple.

"boom!"

The Xuanhuang exquisite pagoda outside the Chitian Temple suddenly turned into a stream of light and knocked Jiang Gungun away. Then the door of the temple opened wide, and a very tall red-haired man came out. The pagoda seemed to see its owner, and instantly returned to the red-haired man. Men's hands.

"Didn't I ask you to go control the flood? What are you doing here?"

The red-haired man was Jiang Chili. After he returned to the Great Light Realm eight years ago, he and the Dragon Girl entered the Scarlet Heaven Temple to have a child. However, after eight years of hard work, there was still no movement.

"The water is almost healed. I came back to tell you something. Let me introduce to you. This is my friend, Wen Ming."

Jiang Gungun "hardly" stood up with a carp blow, causing waves of black and white flesh. Then he patted the non-existent dust on his body, pulled Wen Ming to Jiang Chili and said.

"I've met the Zhu Rong clan!"

Wen Ming looked at the red-haired man in front of him and felt an extreme heat, as if he was in close contact with the sun.

He had felt this aura in the two brothers Chang Qin and Chang Ying, but the one on Jiang Chili was more violent and deeper, just like the rising sun in the morning and the blazing sun at noon.

Wen Ming, as the future King Yu, the terminator of the Mountain and Sea Era, the controller of the cycle of heaven and earth, and the Shuiguan Emperor among the three official emperors, his birth was also accompanied by strange appearances.

When he was born, the Yellow Dragon descended and circled the room for three days, its divine light reaching into the sky.

Therefore, he has a very high talent for cultivation. Although he is only 20 years old now, he is already a master in the realm of controlling life. Moreover, he is the destined Shuiguan Emperor. Water and fire conflict, and the reaction is the most intense. This is why he The reason for being able to feel Jiang Chili's breath.

"You are really like this. Sooner or later, I will be emptied by you. Take it!"

Jiang Chili looked at Dayu, who was still young now, and understood Jiang Gungun's intention of bringing him here. With a flick of his hand, a stream of light flew towards Wen Ming.

Seeing this, Wen Ming subconsciously blocked his hand, and saw the stream of light stop steadily in front of him. The light dissipated, and a delicate and small ax rotated, cheering continuously, as if applauding his appearance.

The small ax was only about three inches long, and it was made entirely of stone. It exuded a bright and brilliant light, as if all the colors in the world could be seen on the head of this axe.

This is the origin weapon mountain-opening ax that Jiang Chili refined when he was promoted to Yuantian Master in Zhetian Universe. It uses Chaos Stone as the material, the Yuantian Formation as the fire, and the dragon veins of heaven and earth as the supplement. It has just been refined into this weapon that can control the heaven and the earth. Dragon veins, and a divine ax that attacks sharply, enough to split mountains and crack the earth.

Since Wen Ming wanted to control the river, he not only needed a strategy to control the water, but also a handy tool, and Jiang Chili's axe, which controlled the dragon veins of heaven and earth and split mountains and earth, was the most suitable.

Jiang Chili doesn't need a mountain-breaking ax. He has the ability of a mountain-breaking ax himself, and it is more powerful.

Moreover, when he first refined the source weapon, he subconsciously made an axe, and named it the mountain axe. At that time, he felt something was wrong, as if he had experienced such a thing many times.

Therefore, when he saw Wen Ming, he felt blessed and knew that the mountain ax was useful.

"Thank you Zhu Rongshi!"

The moment Wen Ming got the mountain-breaking ax, he already knew its function and understood the purpose of Jiang Gungun bringing him here.

He saluted Jiang Chili, then turned around and looked at Jiang Gungun with tears in his eyes.

……

"Goodbye! You must come back to see me!"

Jiang Gungun looked at Wen Ming's retreating back, waved his furry paws vigorously, and shouted loudly.

"When I successfully control the water, I will definitely come back to see you!"

Wen Ming didn't even look back. He held the mountain ax in his right hand and kept swinging it with his left hand, just like when he came, he embarked on the road back to the north alone.

The flood control in the south has come to an end, Jiang Gungun and the others cannot leave, and the magical relationship between Chang Ying and Dajiang Shui has been very fierce recently, and Jiang Chili is busy creating humans and has no time to take care of it, so the two older brothers Even more worried, he could only stay and watch Chang Ying.

The Zhu Rong warriors only obeyed Jiang Chili's orders, and they only had the power to command them, so they could not send anyone to follow Wen Ming back to the north.

When Wen Ming returned to the north, he immediately went to the Heavenly Court to meet Emperor Shun and tell him his method of controlling water.

His method was appreciated by Emperor Shun, so he inherited his father's legacy and was named Sikong by Emperor Shun, who ordered him to lead his subjects to quell the flood that had been raging for several years.

Emperor Shun sent two ministers, Boyi and Houji, to assist him, hoping that this disaster that had plagued the human race for several years would soon end.

Wen Ming led Boyi, Houji, and the subjects of various tribes to travel through mountains and rivers, eat and sleep in the open air, and traveled all over the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains, leaving their footprints even in inaccessible places.

Several years of floods have displaced people, struggling in the floods without relief, and losing the land they depended on for survival. A large number of people starved to death because they had no food.

The spirits and beasts in the water are constantly causing trouble, either asking people to offer human sacrifices, or directly raising floods, flooding the tribe, and using the entire tribe to satisfy their appetites.

Dayu held a rope in one hand, an iron rod in the other, and an ax at his waist.

The rope was made by Jiang Gungun using the method of refining gold rope from the dragon tendons of the evil dragon he killed when he caused trouble in the south. It was originally intended to be presented to Jiang Chili to show his filial piety.

But Jiang Chili had no time to pay attention to him. After giving the mountain-opening ax to Wen Ming, he continued to seal the Chitian Temple.

Therefore, he gave it to Wen Ming as a parting gift.

As for the iron rod, there is a section of black iron in the middle, with two gold hoops on both ends. The place next to the hoop is engraved with "Ruyi golden hoop, weighing [-] kilograms". It is a man named Xuandu. The Taoist gave it to him on the order of his master. It was as big and small as he wanted, and it was just used to measure the depth of the rivers and lakes.

Wen Ming carried an axe, a rope and a stick, and measured wherever he went.
