Floods and Famines

Chapter 70

Twelve great sages of the prehistoric world worked together to arrange the Tai Chi Bagua Xuanzhen, suppressing the evil spirits of the world, and the chaos of the prehistoric land gradually calmed down.

The water in the Tianhe River was exhausted, and there was no more torrential river water in the sky, and dark clouds and evil currents rushed, but it was still muddy, surrounded by dust and mist.

Seeing this catastrophe, but the ending of the catastrophe has not been changed, all the great sages Qi Qi are a little bit disappointed. Although the magic power is high, it has not yet reached the point of changing the secret.Now that the evil spirit of heaven, earth and the universe has been calmed down, they all looked at Nuwa and Zhou Tian together.

Zhou Tian and Nuwa understand the will of the saints, and if they want to rejuvenate the human race, they naturally have to prop up the collapsed sky first.At that moment, Nuwa stopped talking, and showed the Heaven and Earth Furnace, which was an artifact of Zhenyun, she had just received in her hand, and threw it halfway up Buzhou Mountain.

Nuwa simply began to refine the sky-replenishing stone with the heaven and earth furnace on the Buzhou mountain where only half of the mountain was left.

Zhou Tian was on the side to help. He flew into the air, cast his mana, and collected good materials such as Shoushan red copper, Kunshan Ruiyu, Kunlun black iron, etc., and put them into the heaven and earth furnace to help Nuwa refine the sky-replenishing stone.In this way, Nuwa and Zhou Tian refined ten sky-replenishing stones every day.

Time flies, at this time they have been refining 360 stones for five days, and after today's refining, they can refine 650 pieces of sky-replenishing stones.

Zhou Tian intervened to mend the sky because he helped Nuwa get this merit as Fuxi. He never thought of sharing some merits. After all, it was God's will. Can't change anything.

When the sun was rising in the east, Nuwa stopped her hands and refined the sky-repairing stone, so she just started to mend the sky, so as to end the catastrophe as soon as possible.Zhou Tian counted the sky-replenishing stone secretly, and it was 650 pieces, which happened to be one more.

Zhou Tian understood instantly.

Nuwa wanted to use the merit of mending the sky to refine the magic weapon that is famous in later generations.As soon as he thought that he would ask Nuwa for help in the future, he immediately acted as a favor and said in a loud voice: "Friend Nuwa, that five-colored stone was refined after the rising sun and had no chance to mend the sky. Let's keep it as a treasure of merit!"

Zhou Tian remembers that the later "Huainanzi-Lan Ming Pian" once recorded the legend about the Nuwa mending the sky: In ancient times, the four poles were abandoned, the Kyushu was split, the sky was not covered, and the earth was not contained; the fire did not go out, The water is vast and endless; the beasts devour the people, and the birds of prey grab the old and the weak.So Nu Wa smelted five-color stones to mend the sky, cut off the Ao enough to set up the four poles, killed the black dragon to help Jizhou, and accumulated reed ash to stop the flood.When the sky fills up, the four poles are upright; when the flood dries up, Jizhou is flat;

In this mythological record, the four major continents of east, west, north, south, and north fly out of the sky, and the four poles are all destroyed. When the sky was opened, only nine states remained in the ten states, but all of them became the country of Ze.Now it is true that the sky does not cover at the same time, and the earth does not circulate; the fire does not go out, and the water does not stop.But after Nuwa patched up the sky, where will the claw feet that set up the four poles come from?
Zhou Tian understood this earlier, so he couldn't let Nuwa cut off his luck of the four spirits!The demon ancestor Xuanwu is the one who wants to refine the northern Xuanwu seven-star array, how can Nuwa cut off his feet to support the four poles!He asked Nuwa about this matter, and he was naturally happy to make a favor for Nuwa on the sky-filling stone.

Zhou Tian had just finished speaking, and was thinking about how to talk to Nuwa about this matter, but he heard Zhun mention from the side: "After mending the sky, fellow Taoist Nuwa happened to chop off the claw feet of the demon ancestor Xuanwu and prop them into four poles of heavenly pillars. , and just finished the karma of his demon ancestor!"

Zhou Tian didn't expect Zhunti to intentionally hurt his charm, and was about to retaliate when Laojun interrupted Zhunti and said, "Let Nuwa and Taoist Fuxi mend the sky before talking about it, since the two share With the merit of mending the sky, the four poles will naturally be established by the two poles!"

After Zhou Tian heard this, he was very surprised, and immediately understood, he was amazed in his heart, what an old gentleman, he was afraid that Nuwa would gain merit alone, and would become a saint early, so he would not hesitate to share some of the merit with himself, and at the same time divide himself and Nuwa.When I realized it now, I didn't respond to what the old gentleman said, and I didn't refuse, I just stood quietly, pretending to be thinking deeply.

Laojun finished speaking, but Yuan Shi immediately said after listening: "It should be like this. Fellow Taoist Fuxi collects good materials from the wild and wasteland to help fellow Taoist Nuwa mend the sky. Naturally, he deserves half of the merit."

Wang Shu, who was standing far away, interjected coquettishly when he saw this, "It should be like this."

Except for the introduction, Tongtian and others also agreed.Nuwa saw that everyone was saying one word, so she had no choice but to say: "I will follow you."

Seeing that Nuwa agreed, Zhou Tian couldn't help but feel a tizzy in his heart. He used the heaven and earth futon to preserve one ten thousandth of the blood of the primordial ancient human race before the catastrophe. There are still tens of thousands of people alive. The futons can be released so that they can continue to live in the prehistoric wilderness. I am afraid that Nuwa's merit in creating humans is gone, or it is all attributed to him.Now Nuwa agrees to share the merits of mending the sky with him. I am afraid that Nuwa's enlightenment will be delayed again in the future.

The mending of the sky is imminent, and for a while, Zhou Tian couldn't think of any ideas to deal with this matter. Seeing that the saints had their own thoughts, all worried about the boundless flood, and seeing Nuwa looking at him, it was obvious that he was not at ease , moved in his heart, and immediately stood aside, shining golden light in his hand, held the Tianhe Shenzhen Iron in his hand, held it up high, and swore: "The Tianhe pours out, the flood and barren become the country, Nuwa mends the sky, and the flood and barren are waiting Prosperity, I, Fuxi, made a vow to control the flood and prosper the human race!"

The other great sages saw that Zhou Tian made great wishes in front of all the saints on the mountain, but he didn't get the merit of Nuwa's mending the sky. They were surprised and admired. Such a great merit is in front of them, so it's okay to make a wish to control the water. How is this water? so easy to cure?This Fuxi is too stupid!
However, Zhou Tian had other plans. He vowed not to make up for the merits of heaven, but he also vowed to control the floods and rejuvenate the human race. When the time comes, he will naturally get the merits.He got Zhenhe Shenzhenzhen Iron, and he had a plan for water control in his heart.At this time, he made a great wish to seize the secret first, but everyone didn't know it, but they thought Zhou Tian was beyond his control.

After hearing Zhou Tian's words, most of the indifference in Nuwa's eyes disappeared, and when Styx recovered, she cast a spell to turn the furnace around and began to mend the sky.

I saw the five-color sky-filling stones continuously radiating colorful auspicious light, flying up from the top of the mountain, and flying towards the hole pouring out of the Tianhe River like falling chess pieces.

These sky-replenishing stones are all about the same size, they are all three feet six feet five inches high and have a circle of two feet four feet.Three feet six feet five inches high, according to the 360 ​​five degrees of the sky; two feet four feet circle, according to the political calendar 24 qi.

It takes another year to patch up the sky with colorful stones, and it takes another year for Nuwa to mend the sky. When the 650 five-colored sky-filling stones are connected into one piece, the 650 colorful stones are dazzling, and they are connected into one piece in an instant. The sky is finally patched up.

The dome of the sky was repaired, the sky and the earth suddenly became bright, the sun rose in the east, and the earth began to warm up. At this time, I saw the clear light on Nuwa's body, and there was a layer of fresh air on her body, which made several great sages look at it for a while. envious.

Nuwa obtained the merit of mending the sky alone, she showed her divine light, stood still, turned her head to the great sages and said, "This furnace of heaven and earth will be the furnace of mending the sky in the future." After finishing speaking, she glanced sideways at Zhou Tian and understood in her heart Zhou Tian gave her merits, and in the future the human race will flourish, and the two of them still have many things to help each other to complete, so they said in a loud voice: "Now that the four poles are abolished, the body of the demon ancestor Xuanwu, the tortoise and the black snake, should have been cut off to make a pillar of heaven Set up the four poles! It's just that Xuanwu is the body of the demon ancestor. Now that the luck of the demon clan has been exhausted, I leave behind the four spirits and beasts who are rich in blessings, so as to prevent the demon clan from being wiped out. Now, I will take the foot of the turtle from the North Sea to stand on the ground. Siji, what do you guys think?"
