Rebirth of the Great Wilderness, I shall mention it

Chapter 63 Dayu's Flood Control ([-])

During Shun's reign, in order to vigorously develop the human race, and at the same time fulfill his duties as one of the five emperors, it can be said that he worked hard.It is a pity that when Shun was about to abdicate, a terrible flood swept through.Shun was worried about the flood, and in order to control the flood as soon as possible, Shun issued a decree that whoever could control the flood could succeed the next co-lord of the human race.But the flood was too big, and there were not many people in the world who could deal with the flood, and no one came after a long time after the notice was issued.

There was no one to deal with the flood, which made Shun very worried.In the end, Shun had no choice but to order Gun, who was full-time in water and soil management in the post of Sikong, to go to control the water.

Although he had no clue about how to control the monstrous flood, Emperor Shun's order could not be disobeyed. After receiving Shun's order, Gun still bit the bullet and went to control the flood.

At this time, the Twelve Golden Immortals, including Guang Chengzi, who was in charge of teaching and explaining Taoism in the prehistoric times, also received the order of Yuan Tianzun to help Gun control the flood.

But Gun only knew how to block the water, but he didn't know how to unblock it.With the help of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao, Gun obtained the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil left over from Nuwa's creation of human beings from the human race's holy mother, Nuwa.

Gun used this soil as a water control tool, and threw it away whenever he went to a flooded place.The Nine Heavens Breathing Soil is the innate soil. As soon as it touches the earth, it immediately grows in size and blocks the water.

Nine years passed like this, but Gun still could not subdue the flood.Moreover, the flood was even more tragic because of Gun's method of blocking.

Shun inspected the country and found that Gun used the method of cutting off the water to control the water. Not only did it not achieve any results, but it made the flood worse.In a rage, Shun ordered Gun to be executed on Mount Yu.

The Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao helped Gun to control the flood. Seeing such a situation, it was not good to stay in the human race anymore, so they had to return to their caves one by one.

After Gun was executed, Shun continued to recruit talents to control the floods.At this time, someone recommended Gun's son Dayu to Shun.It is said that Dayu was more capable than his father, and Dayu also had Gun's experience in water control. Although Gun was useless in water control, he had better experience than others.

Shun thought about it, and felt that this was the only way to go, so he ordered Dayu to control the water and complete the unfinished mission of Gun.

After Dayu received Shun's order, he did not immediately go to take office to control the flood.In his own home, Dayu unfolded a painting and hung it high above the hall. Dayu lit three incense sticks, and bowed to the painting with a portrait of a Taoist: "Teacher, everything is as it should be." Your words are true. After Emperor Shun killed my father, he asked me to go to control the water. Teacher, please tell your disciples, what should I do?"

Just as Dayu finished speaking, a voice rang out. "Fool, don't you still remember the fact that Emperor Shun executed your father?"

"As the saying goes, the hatred of killing one's father cannot be shared with the heavens! Shun killed my biological father, so how can I not feel hatred in my heart!" Dayu said to the Taoist in the portrait with a painful expression.

"Oh! You idiot, you can't let it go after all!"

As soon as the voice fell, a Taoist who was exactly the same as in the portrait appeared in front of Dayu.This Taoist is exactly Bodhi, the incarnation of the good corpse of the sage Zhunti.

Seeing his teacher coming, Dayu was slightly taken aback and said, "Teacher, why did you come here in person!"

Bodhi sighed and said, "How can I not come with such great resentment in your heart. Fool, are you still resenting me as a teacher because I refused to rescue your father last time?"

"The disciple doesn't dare, and the teacher has a reason for not wanting to make a move!" Dayu bowed quickly when he saw his teacher like this.

"Fool, why don't you let go of the resentment in your heart! Shun executed your father because of his fault. With this kalpa, it is preordained by heaven, and no one can change it." Bodhi said.

"Teacher, my father's failure in water control is due to the lack of great sages to teach. But Emperor Shun executed my father because of this. This is a failure of Shun's virtue. How can I not resent it?" Dayu said unwillingly.

"I didn't expect the resentment in your heart to be so deep. It seems that everything is really as the deity said!"

Looking at Dayu's distorted face due to hatred, Bodhi continued: "Fool, do you know that your mind has been blinded by hatred.

Now the human race and other creatures on the prehistoric land are suffering from this monstrous flood, and this flood is destined to be quelled only by you.But because of your hatred for Shun, you are unwilling to go to deal with the flood. Do you know that every second you delay, how many people will be swallowed by the ruthless flood? "

"This disciple also knows, but I just feel unwilling!" Dayu cried out.

"Not reconciled, why are you not reconciled?" Bodhi asked back.

"My father controlled the water for the sake of the people in the world, but Shun executed him. My father died unjustly!" Dayu replied with tears in his eyes.

"Injustice? I'm afraid this is what you think! Your father's water control was to save the world. Although he failed and gave his life because of it, it doesn't mean that his efforts are worthless. I believe you Father has never regretted this in his heart, otherwise he would not have died calmly at the beginning. Besides, future generations will comment on the merits and demerits of thousands of years, your father will definitely be recorded in the annals of human history forever!" Bodhi said.

"But how can I know what my father thinks?"

"This is not difficult for me, just wait a moment, I will recruit your father's dead soul to come up."

After finishing speaking, Bodhi used his supernatural powers, and the primordial spirit came out of his body and went to the underworld to look for Gun's dead soul.

Not long after, Bodhi's primordial spirit returned with Gun's dead soul.

"This is your father's soul, you can ask him if you have any questions!" Bodhi pointed to Gun's soul and said to Dayu.

"Father, is that you?" Dayu asked excitedly to the blurred figure in front of him.

"Don't call me father, I don't have a son like you!"

When Dayu heard that the voice was indeed his father's, he immediately knelt down on the ground and said, "Father, did the child do something wrong? Why don't you recognize me?"

The blurry figure spoke again: "I was executed by Emperor Shun for controlling the water. I don't have the slightest resentment in my heart. But you still refuse to go to control the water because of this. Do you know how many people died because of you?" , You have disappointed me so much. If you still recognize me as your father, immediately follow the words of Immortal Bodhi to control the water, otherwise I will not recognize you as my son."

After hearing what his father said, Dayu was already sobbing.He kowtowed to Gun's dead soul and said, "Father, don't be angry, I know I was wrong! I will follow the teacher's advice to deal with the flood, but you don't need to deny my son no matter what!"

"In this way, you are worthy to be my son. Go, go and complete the unfinished business for my father, and remember that my soul will always watch you!" Gun's dead soul said.

"Okay, now that you know what's in your father's heart, do you still have resentment?" Bodhi put away Gun's soul and said to Dayu.

"Teacher, it was my disciple who made a mistake in the past. This disciple swears here that he must control the flood in his lifetime!" Dayu bowed to Bodhi.

Looking at Dayu who walked out of hatred, Bodhi thought, the task entrusted to him by the deity has finally been completed, otherwise he really doesn't know what to do.At that moment, Bodhi helped Dayu up, and said gratifiedly, "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it! If that's the case, hurry up and control the water, so that I can send your father's soul back to the underworld."

"Thank you, Teacher. But this water control project is a huge project. If the disciple encounters difficulties in the future, I hope the teacher will help me more!" Dayu said.

"Naturally, since I am your teacher, I will naturally help you. Go, don't delay any longer!"

After speaking, Bodhi disappeared.

Therefore, Dayu took the water control experience that Gun left to himself and went to take office to control the water.
