"Little Tai Sui, eat slowly, no one is going to snatch the food from you..."
"Hey hey hey?? I had my eye on that chicken leg first!!!"
Yu Niang hurriedly brought the food over, but no matter how fast she served it, it was still not as fast as the two people and the cat could eat it.
The bowls became tall buildings and the stacks became mountains. The onlookers had no idea how the two guys in front of them could eat all the food.
Zhou Kao and Xiao Taisui were seen wolfing down the food like a whirlwind. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen large plates of meat and dozens of bowls of rice porridge had disappeared without a trace, not even a mouthful of soup was left.
After finally eating his fill, Zhou Kao leaned against the lakeside to rest, his round belly heaving as he burped contentedly.
Countless people and officials came to express their gratitude, young and old, male and female. Some knelt and kowtowed, some had tears in their eyes, and many children jumped and danced around Zhou Kao, shouting words like "Lord God of Fire" and "Great Hero".
However, there were too many people, so Zhou Kao persuaded them to rebuild their homes quickly. Words of gratitude were not something that could be expressed in a short time.
As for the many elves and fairies, Zhou Kao was thinking about how to carve a monument to commemorate them - this contribution could not be erased in any way.
He already had a plan in mind: to erect a "world-protecting monument" next to the Jinjiao Dike and engrave the names of all the monsters on it so that future generations would remember them.
The officials who survived and believed Zhou Kao's warning also took action, gathering people and distributing supplies.
Setting up tents, digging ditches, distributing food, treating illnesses and saving lives... each of these things is the most important thing at the moment.
As for the demons, fairies and elves, because of the restoration of their popularity, many weak monsters were simply unable to maintain their human form and had already hidden themselves, returning to the mountains, forests and swamps.
Some of those who cultivated their magical powers began to seek other places to live. Among those who practiced in the water, Zhou Kao had already arranged some places for them to go - the former Yuwangzhou City.
Now the state capital has turned into a big lake. Humans have no use for this city anymore. It is better to give it to the elves and fairies swimming in the water.
By the way, it also provides an extra layer of protection to protect Zhu Yiran who is sleeping under the water.
"Prince Zhou, if we take over the capital of Yuwangzhou, will there be any problems?"
A fathead fish staggered and poked its head out of the water near the shore and asked.
This fish is also the guardian deity of a family. It is a silver carp monster that has been cultivating for twenty years. Its abilities are not that great, but it has some talent in purifying water.
That family had clean drinking water for two generations, without having to worry about it being contaminated.
Now that their home is destroyed, that family has to leave their hometown. It has limited ability and cannot follow them, so it can only stay here.
It's just a small monster, a fathead fish, and it's not easy to survive in the big lake. If you are not careful, you may be caught or eaten by a big monster.
However, Zhou Kao set a set of rules and made arrangements for this group of weak monsters.
The capital of Yuwangzhou originally had sixty-four blocks in the east and west, which were densely populated. Now that people no longer live there, it is a good opportunity for fish and shrimp to settle down.
Silver carp and bighead carp can be found in one section, crabs can be found in another, eels can be found in another... and so on, with all these different categories, there's no need to worry about disturbing each other's habits. Since the markets are independent of each other, they naturally live in peace and stability.
The fish and shrimp elves also went to the state capital to take a look. The houses were spacious and very comfortable to live in.
Moreover, many houses have tables, chairs and benches. As their cultivation progresses, they will inevitably have some social engagements, and they will need a place to sit when they visit.
There was one thing that the underwater elves were very worried about—
That is, this lake emerged after a disaster, so who is in charge of it?
If it is under the jurisdiction of heaven, there must be a lake god; if it is under the jurisdiction of the earth, there must be an explanation.
Zhou Kao was relieved. He said to the group of monsters:
"Don't worry, this Yuwangzhou was left to me by my human King Yu. How could it be under the control of some heavenly being? In my opinion, this lake was originally called Yuwangzhou, but in the future, it might be called Dayu Lake, and it will still be the territory of our human race."
After saying this, Zhou Kao continued, "After the results are announced, I will submit a memorial to the court as a Juren, and this status will be finalized. You all stay here for now. We don't want to disappoint those who have made great contributions."
"With what Mr. Zhou said, we are completely relieved."
The monsters thanked him profusely, and after making a splash on the water surface, they turned over and dived down, heading straight for the state city at the bottom of the lake, and hurried to clean up their new houses.
After all, even though he is a small monster now, he is also the owner of a big house in the world. No one wants to fall behind, for fear that his good house will be snatched away by others if he is a step late.
Zhou Kao was happy to see that the underwater elves were satisfied.
Just as he was about to arrange a place to fly in the sky, he suddenly heard a loud noise in his ears - the five-fingered monkey paw that fell to the ground and formed a mountain had actually shed a lot of rubble. After a while, the surface of the mountain suddenly cracked, rolled, and settled, revealing a rock wall as smooth as a whetstone!
Two large characters written in iron and silver suddenly appeared on the rock wall.
Yuhu!
The brushwork is vigorous and the momentum is magnificent.
"Yu Lake! It's Yu Lake! From now on, this lake will be called Yu Lake—"
The common people cried out in surprise, and the demons also looked up, only to see the words "Yuhu" glowing golden in the sunlight, as if it was destined by heaven and could not be changed.
The monkey's paws became a mountain, and the lake became an island. The once ferocious and terrifying giant ape's severed limb now seemed to have transformed into a sacred mountain that stood firmly on the lakeside, guarding this new body of water.
Chapter 196 Bu Zhou is like this? ?
In the afternoon, people came one after another to worship the "Golden Dragon Dike". Only then did Zhou Kao remember that the Golden Armored Crocodile King had gained humanity.
The normal development of this old crocodile into a demon king was to become an accomplice and cause trouble, but judging from the final result - although it was an accomplice, it ultimately saved countless lives and performed great merit.
However, merits and demerits cannot be confused.
The people saved by the Golden Crocodile King cannot forgive it on behalf of the people killed by it; similarly, the people killed by it cannot hate the people it saved and commemorate it.
Life is never simply black or white, it is always complex.
A tiring day ended quietly on Monkey Paw Island.
Zhou Kao slept directly on the island with his clothes on, letting the lake breeze caress his face as the night fell.
Suddenly the sky and the earth brightened up——
Zhou Kao stared with his dead eyes at the golden sun bird soaring peacefully and regularly in the sky.
The light was like fire, blazing and majestic, as if it controlled the cycle of life and death of all things.
The dream is still chasing the weekly exam!!!
In front of him was a tall and mighty red-haired man dressed in animal skins.
At this time, the man pointed his finger at a broad river, cutting off all the water flow in front of him, and proudly commanded the tall giant behind him to build a long earthen dam on the right side of the river.
Among the giants was a towering beast with a snake body and nine heads, each head bearing the same appearance of a middle-aged man.
Zhou Kao was very familiar with him - he was exactly like "Xiangliu" magnified a hundred times.
But...it's the male version!
Xiangliu's snake body was seen wriggling on the ground. With one bite, it bit off two-thirds of the mountain. Then it swam slowly back to the dam, spit out nine high mountains, and let the giant smash the mountains to pieces.
Xiangliu Jiutou spewed out black water as turbid as mud, which attached to the shattered mountains and was then piled up by giants.
The red-haired old man raised flames all over the sky, drying the stone walls.
After the fire burned for an unknown amount of time——
A towering barrier as high as the mountain and as wide as the land was built.
Within the smooth and tall mountain walls are nine high mountains; at the foot of the mountains are countless wooden villages and earthen houses. Ancient humans have lived and multiplied on this fertile land.
Beyond the mountains is a vast river.
After everyone had left the river, the red-haired strong man exhaled, slowly walked into the mountains, and withdrew his water control technique.
The vast river rushed in in an instant, continuously hitting the smooth mountain wall, but the mountain wall remained motionless.
The red-haired man laughed heartily, extremely happy. He took a torch from the red-haired old man and lit a huge bonfire in front of the cliff.
As the blazing fire burned, countless ancient humans gathered together and hissed and cheered.
But Zhou Kao felt that the red-haired strong man was wrong - such a magnificent flood was just blocked, and the water level was still there.
No matter how high this barrier is, doesn't the river still flow continuously?
He didn't even think about speaking.
This time he is not involved in it. The story is just a story and will not be affected by the audience's expectations.
Time is like a long river, the increase in entropy never goes backwards, it only moves forward, never backwards.
The mountain walls that were impacted by the river were like sacred mountains that were worshipped by people. They were painted with patterns of various colors by these people wearing animal skins.
Among them, a frail old man personally wrote two ancient hieroglyphs on the stone wall:
"Not thoughtful"
Zhou Kao was very surprised, watching the two red-haired men hugging each other and jumping around the campfire happily.
Zhurong and Gonggong! Is this what Mount Buzhou is?
Doesn’t the Classic of Mountains and Seas record that beyond the northwest sea, in the corner of the great wilderness, there is a mountain that is not united, and its name is Buzhou?
Looking out, the smooth stone wall, like a mountain peak, indeed towered into the clouds. But wasn't it too far from the Buzhou Mountain in mythology and legend, which pierced through heaven and earth? Or was this old man simply using this stone wall mountain as a metaphor for Buzhou?
Do you hope that it can be as immortal as the real Buzhou Mountain?
Unfortunately, Zhou Kao couldn't hear any sound. He could only watch the group of people shouting as if they were watching a pantomime, but without a sound.
The light and shadow dimmed, and the scene changed!
The sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain poured down on the earth like a backflow of water.
The scene of world destruction did not scare Zhou Kao, but it frightened all the ancient human races who reproduced.
At this time, obvious wrinkles appeared at the corners of the red-haired strong man's eyes. He held a trident in his hand, pointed at the sky and roared angrily.
Perhaps he is very powerful, but how can personal power compete with the vast will of heaven and earth?
The trident was flashing with divine blue light, trying to knock the rain back into the sky.
The power of heaven is great, but human efforts are boundless.
What Zhou Kao heard was a thunderous crash.
He followed the sound and saw the "Buzhou" stone wall he had seen before.
The river outside the stone wall rolled like an angry dragon, and the surging waves repeatedly hit the stone wall, making a deafening roar.
The red-haired old man, who was suspected to be Zhurong in his later years, slapped the man, who was suspected to be Gonggong, in the face and pointed at the "Buzhou" stone wall as if saying something.
However, Gonggong ignored Zhurong's advice and continued to ask the giant to add black mud to the stone wall, trying to make it thicker.
Zhou Kao, who had heard the story of Gonggong's flood control, knew that this man would fail.
After some time, just as Zhou Kao was boredly watching Gonggong directing the giants to reinforce the stone wall, old Zhurong once again came to the stone wall in anger and had a fierce argument with Gonggong.
Gonggong no longer had the same high spirits as before, nor did he have the same sharp determination. Beside him, Xiangliu showed a huge nine-headed snake body, carrying Gonggong up the mountain.
Zhou Kao's perspective also climbed to higher mountains along with Gonggong.
! Yue Yi Liu Qi Yi Er's father is V!I)II! !
What a magnificent scene!
Beyond the mountain wall, there were huge waves that were about to overflow the cap.
The ground that was originally level with the earth and the smooth stone walls were constantly being washed away by mud and sand.
This stone wall named "Buzhou" is gradually becoming thinner! !
Gonggong looked at this scene in despair, looking up at the sky, letting the rain hit his face, as if he was regretting and repenting.
After being stunned for a moment, the powerful water controller immediately jumped off Xiangliu's body, landed on the ground, and created a deep pit.
At this time, Gonggong had no time to care about anything. He roared at old Zhurong in horror, then tried his best to spit out a blue water drop and handed it to old Zhurong.
Old Zhurong pointed at Gonggong in disappointment, and returned to his habitat in the rear with Shuizhu and all his ministers.
As a result, all the ancient human races began to migrate to the nine high mountains.
The flood is coming, and the walls of Mount Buzhou are about to collapse.
Gonggong knelt down on the ground desolately, accompanied only by the old man who had written "Buzhou" on the mountain wall. Looking at the rekindled fires on the nine high mountains, Gonggong smiled.
He carved on the stone wall with his sharp nails:
Alas, Gonggong's sins will never be redeemed. Later generations will remember: It is better to drain than to block!
Chapter 197 Xiangliu’s Invitation
Then, Gonggong roared angrily, horns grew on his head, and he slammed his head against the "Buzhou" stone wall that he once took pride in.
With this collision, cracks quickly spread across the stone wall and it shattered. The raging flood finally broke through Gonggong's pride.
He and the stone slab behind him holding the name of Gonggong were swallowed by the huge waves and disappeared in the raging waves.
