One year, Gun used a blocking method to force the flood to change its course, fighting for a piece of land between the human race and heaven and earth. Don't underestimate this area, which can only support the survival of ten thousand people. This is something that has never happened before in history. Gun
This method was recognized by the Tao and Tang Dynasties, and some people even rumored that Gun was the reincarnation of the god from heaven, who came to help Emperor Yao quell floods and save the people.
But Gun was not proud of this. He knew that this piece of land could have been exposed between heaven and earth, because the flood had already shown signs of retreating. Even if he did not take action to divert the land, it would take less than ten years for this piece of land to appear.
In the eyes of everyone.
And it is precisely because of his action this time that the two Emperors of Yao seemed to be even more impatient. Everyone knew that being impatient could not eat hot tofu. How could Emperor Yao not know that he could become the co-leader of the human race?
However, Emperor Yao knew that his life was short. He hoped that with the help of the flood, he could achieve the right path. Even if he could not become the three emperors of Fuxi, Shennong and Xuanyuan, he could still become like the five emperors and go to the immortal world to survive forever. He urgently needed this.
This achievement brings luck to the people, and they can achieve enlightenment and become immortals.
Two years later, after spending a huge amount of materials, the floods did not recede from the surface of the earth. Instead, they relied on the heat emitted by the sun to evaporate the floods. This method could, for one, turn the floods into clouds, rain, and mist, without increasing the impact on other areas.
The magnitude of the flood can also change the surrounding climate, allowing a large amount of salt fields to be eaten by humans, and also making the land fertile for humans.
Five years later, when people could swim waist-deep in the river and fish in the enclosed stone ponds, Gun's eyes revealed a sense of satisfaction.
Nine years later, when the first stone pond had dried up, Gun was indescribably satisfied, but Emperor Yao could no longer bear it. The floods still spread to most of the land. Such an achievement was already huge in the eyes of the people in the area.
Achievements.
However, in Emperor Yao's eyes, this was simply a small achievement, because he couldn't wait any longer. He felt that Gun had not exerted any effort at all and did not try his best to help him.
Nine years became Gun's most satisfactory result, but in the eyes of Emperor Yao, it was nothing at all. On Yushan Mountain, Gun became a sinner. Only when he looked at the floods around him and heard the words from Emperor Yao's mouth did he know the floods in the entire world.
, how vast and boundless it is.
The vastness of the world was not even a corner of his eyes. At this moment, he realized that what he had done was not a great achievement at all. It was okay to just take care of it occasionally, but there was nothing he could do if he looked at the overall situation.
The control of floods was still the most important matter in Emperor Yao's heart. Although Gun was executed at this time, the huge manpower and material resources had already been spent too much. Moreover, the temporary disbandment would instead cause chaos among the people. Those who were ordered to control the floods
How will the human race be resettled? Where is there so much land that can support their livelihood?
"Emperor, Gun is being held accountable, but the water control should not be stopped."
"yes."
Because of the temporary atmosphere, Emperor Yao directly ordered Gun to be killed. However, after Gun's death, he deeply regretted it. The death of one person is not a pity, but Gun's death affects thousands of people and cannot be properly punished.
Resettlement was the top priority, and Emperor Yao had no idea how to deal with it.
"Isn't the Gun tribe good at water control? When the father repays his debt, Gun's son will inherit the water control."
"But……"
Before the official of Emperor Yao could finish speaking, Emperor Yao had already walked away. The official lowered his head and pondered, and glanced at the sad flood control people. His eyes not only lit up, but he immediately understood what Emperor Yao was thinking.
Let Gun's descendants inherit it. Firstly, it can calm the resentment of these people. They are all grateful to Gun and will not cause chaos because of their mistakes. Secondly, it can also make the flood control proceed as usual. As for how far it has gone? Then we can only leave it to fate.
Third, these people are still engaged in flood control and avoid returning to their hometowns to obtain new land, resulting in insufficient land supply.
The wise Emperor Yao shook his head slightly and directly ordered the people below to find Gun's son to take over the responsibility. He completely ignored Gun's son, who was only less than nine years old.
In the Xia tribe, when Gun's body was carried back to the tribe, Xiuji leaned over and cried loudly. Even though her heart was filled with grief, she did not resent Emperor Yao for it.
Because Gun didn't know how big the world was, he signed a nine-year contract with Emperor Yao to quell the flood, and everyone in the world knew about it. Even if Emperor Yao killed Gun, it wasn't out of resentment. It can only be said that Gun made a mistake because of it.
"Chief, Emperor Yao has been ordered to make Yu inherit Gun's responsibilities and lead the people to control floods. I also ask Yu to come with me, so as to calm the hearts of the people in flood control."
The envoy looked at the surprised Xiu Ji, and felt a little unbearable in his heart. Although Yu was already nine years old, how could a nine-year-old boy have the perspective of an adult? Even though Gun was good at controlling water, he did not contribute to this matter, let alone a young man.
Boy? Obviously this was Emperor Yao’s helpless decision, but it caused a great deal of suffering to Gun’s family.
"Is there a time limit?"
"Well, that's not true."
"That's good, Yu'er, you go with the emperor's envoy to control the floods. Remember that this trip is for your father's legacy. Do you still remember your father's wish?"
"Mother, my child remembers that the floods in the world will recede and the earth will be level. The mountains, rivers and rivers will be regulated. The human race in the world will have land to rely on. The common people will not be hungry because of floods. The human race will be able to eat and multiply. It will not abandon the elderly for food. It will not be abandoned for food.
Feeding young children raw does not dehumanize the food.”
"Okay, then Yu'er will go with the emperor's envoy. The flood is grievous, so don't come back to see me. My mother is well, and I won't worry about Yu'er's thoughts."
Xiu Ji turned around and looked at Gun's body, stretched out his hand to lift up the surrounding men, and said slowly: "If there is a spirit in the sky, I hope you will bless my Yu'er so that he can inherit your legacy and fulfill your wish."
Looking at the young boy beside him, the messenger was filled with surprise. The young man was too calm, and he could faintly see that the other person's eyes were full of wisdom. It seemed that this young boy was not as unbearable as he imagined.
, and even at this time, a thought emerged in his heart, maybe this young man named Yu can really quell the flood.
"Your name is Yu?"
"Yes, Imperial Envoy."
"Then do you have anything else to do? Why don't you send your father Gun off?"
"No, Yu once promised my father that he would fulfill his legacy. My father once wrote to me and said that I would come back to see him again after Yu calmed down the flood. Otherwise, I would never want to be his son in this life."
"Huh? Gun values you so much? Why doesn't he recruit you into the army? So that we can quell the flood?"
There was no distrust, only doubts. The messenger hoped that the other party could help him solve his doubts.
"Father said that without the emperor's order, I cannot obey the public."
To convince the public? Yes, just a year ago, Gun compiled a book and sent it to Emperor Yao, praising his son for his ability to control floods, hoping that Emperor Yao would order his son to go to Yushan to help him.
At that time, Emperor Yao was already dissatisfied with Gun, thinking that this was Gun's excuse, and wanted to lead his family to flee, thereby getting rid of the responsibility for his broken promise. It was that letter that made Emperor Yao suspicious.
Gun no longer valued him. If Yu was really capable, Emperor Yao might have misunderstood Gun.
