Daoist Abundant Treasures brought his newly accepted disciple, the Spiritual Stone Monkey Yuan Ling, all the way to Golden Ao Island's Green Touring Palace on a spirit cloud. He ordered the child to call his disciples to him. After observing for a while, he realized that the Six-Eared Macaque Yuan Ming and the Long Armed Ape Yuan Hong had already cultivated the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art to the fourth revolution, and both of them had the cultivation of a True Immortal. With the help of the Three Light Holy Water, the Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey had already reached the peak of the second revolution of the Mysterious Art, and would soon enter the third revolution. The nine levels of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art corresponded to the nine realms of cultivation. It was said that the highest level, the ninth revolution, would allow one to prove the Way and become a Saint. However, no one had ever investigated whether it was really possible. This technique was more difficult than cultivation. The further one went, the more mana was needed to break through each level. Dharmic powers were all converted by cultivators absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Now that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was decreasing day by day, this path was destined to be impassable. That Ling Xiao was even more blessed by the heavens and was already a Grand Unity Mystic Immortal.
Daoist Duo Bao looked at the few disciples in front of him and was really happy. He pulled Yuan Ling in front of him and said to everyone,""This is my new disciple, the Spiritual Stone Monkey of the Four Spiritual Monkeys. His name is Yuan Ling. In the future, you will cultivate the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art together. As soon as you reach the fifth revolution of the Mysterious Art, I will teach you the Four Symbols Immortal Slaying Array. At that time, even if you encounter a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, you will have the ability to protect yourself.”After saying that, he imprinted the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art into Yuan Ling's mind. Then, he took out the Nine Chiyou Flags and a mixed iron staff from his sleeve and gave them to Yuan Ling. The iron staff was embedded with the Flame Extending Pearl of the Four Symbols Pearl. And the Banner of Chiyou given by the Treasure Daoist would be able to condense the Grand Wizard Zhurong in the future. Six-Eared Macaque's Chiyou Flag could condense the Grand Wizard, Tian Wu; The Banner of Chiyou of the Long Armed Ape Monkey could condense the Ancestor of Sorcery Houtu, while the Banner of Chiyou of the Redbone Horse Monkey could condense the Ancestor of Sorcery Gonggong, which corresponded to the earth, water, fire, and wind. Of course, the Demon Gods condensed by them could not be compared with the Demon Gods condensed by the Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation of the Twelve Sky King Banner of the Twelve Sky Beings. They were just phantoms.
He ordered the four of them to go down and cultivate, only to see Ling Xiao staring at him from the side. With a thought, he understood what he was thinking. It turned out that when Ling Xiao saw that his teacher had given his senior and junior brothers magical treasures several times, and that he had only received a golden spear when he became his teacher, the only Yin and Yang Qi Bottle was given by his father, he couldn't help but feel jealous. At the thought of this, Treasure Daoist felt a little guilty. He had been negligent. With a thought, he took out a banana fan from his space. It was the banana tree that he got on Mount Buzhou. This fan was the fan that fanned fire. As such, Ling Xiao had the Golden Spear for close combat, the Banana Fan for long range attacks, and the Yin Yang Qi Bottle to protect himself. He handed the fan to Ling Xiao and taught him how to use it. Ling Xiao then went down to refine it happily.
After dealing with these matters, just as Taoist Duo Bao was about to heave a sigh of relief, he saw a little girl with pigtails running in from outside the door. The golden bell on her ankle rang when she ran. It was Jingwa. However, at this moment, Jingwa's face was covered in tears. Daoist Duo Bao quickly went forward to pick her up and asked,"Who bullied our little princess? Grand-Master is looking for him to vent his anger on behalf of Jingwa.”
" My Little White is missing," Jingwa cried." I asked Ao Bing. He said it might have been eaten by the wild beasts in the mountain."”When Daoist Duo Bao heard this, his heart thumped. He thought to himself that what he feared would come true. He could only resort to all kinds of methods and tell her interesting stories in the Wilderness. It was not easy to make use of the little girl's curiosity to make the little princess laugh through her tears and stop pestering her about Xiaobai. At this moment, he felt a powerful aura sweep across the hall. He knew that his teacher, Sect Master Tongtian, had finally come out of seclusion. He immediately went to the main hall of the Green Touring Palace with Jingwa to pay his respects.
At this time, the human race was in the early days of Tang Yao's reign. The astronomical calendar was still not perfect, and the people often delayed farming. Therefore, Yao organized specialized personnel to summarize the experience of predecessors and let the Xi and He tribes take charge of astronomy. According to the movement of the sun, moon, stars, and other astronomical phenomena and natural phenomena, he estimated the time. He sent Xi Zhong to live in a place called Yanggu on the eastern coast to observe the sunrise. The vernal equinox was determined on the day of the equinox of day and night, and the position of the bird star was used to correct it. Uncle Pai Xi lived in a place called Mingdu City. He observed the sun's movement from north to south. He used the day with the longest daytime as the summer solstice and corrected it with reference to the position of Mars. Pai and Zhong lived in a place called the Valley of Darkness in the west. They observed the sunset and took the day of the equinox as the autumnal equinox. They corrected it with reference to the position of the virtual star. Pai and Uncle lived in a place called Youdu in the north. They observed the movement of the sun from south to north. The day with the shortest day was used as the winter solstice, and the position of the Pleiades was used as a reference for correction. After the two equinox and two solstice were determined, Yao decided to set 365 days as a year and set a leap month every three years. He used the leap month to adjust the relationship between the calendar and the four seasons, so that the annual farming season was correct and there would be no mistakes.
Tang Yao was afraid that talents would be buried and talents would be left behind in the wild. Therefore, he often went deep into the remote villages, went to the mountains to search for talents, asked questions, investigated political gains and losses, and selected talents.
At this moment, a huge flood suddenly occurred on the ground. Due to the flood, the lives of the people on the ground were extremely difficult. At this time, Emperor Yao heard that several ministers named Siyue recommended Gun to control the flood. He was overjoyed and used Gun. Gun had led the people to deal with floods ever since he took office. He had obtained a rare treasure in his early years, the Soil of Breath. The Soil of Breath grew with the wind. Because of the Soil of Breath, Gun had blocked several small floods with it. That was how he became famous for his ability to control floods. It was because he only knew how to block the water but not how to dredge it. If there was water in the east, he would block it in the east. If the water flowed from the east to the west, he would block it in the west. In this way, the dikes made of Swelling Earth could withstand the water, but he didn't have enough Swelling Earth to renovate all the dikes. Water often rushed out of the dikes made of non-Swelling Earth, and after accumulation, the amount of water rushed out became larger and larger. Gun had been busy for nine years, but he still couldn't manage the flood.
At this time, Emperor Yao was gradually getting old, so he discussed with his officials about the candidate for the successor. Someone came forward to recommend Yu Shun. Shun's family background was very humble. Although he was a descendant of Emperor Zhuanxiang, he was a commoner for five generations and was in the lower class of society. Shun's fate was even more unfortunate. His father was a blind man, and his mother died very early. The blind old man continued to marry, and his stepmother gave birth to a younger brother named Xiang. Shun lived in a family environment where his father was stubborn, his mother was arrogant, and his elephant was proud. His father had evil intentions, his stepmother was two-faced, and his younger brother was rebellious. However, Shun was very filial to his parents and friendly to his younger brother. He never slacked off for many years. Shun escaped in time when his family wanted to harm him. If he felt better, he would immediately return to their side and help them as much as possible. Even though his life was so unfortunate and the environment was so bad, Shun was able to show extraordinary moral character and deal with family relations well.
Shun's family was poor, so he engaged in all kinds of manual labor and experienced hardships. At the age of 20, he was already very famous. He was famous for his filial piety. Because he was able to uphold filial piety to his parents who abused and persecuted him, he was praised by the human race.
Therefore, Emperor Yao sent people to find Yu Shun and let him participate in government affairs, manage all officials, receive guests, and undergo all kinds of training. He also married his two daughters, Ehuang and Nuying, to Shun, and from his daughters, he tried to test Shun's character. Not only did Shun manage the government affairs well, but he also improved his employment. After many tests, Shun finally received Yao's approval. Yao chose an auspicious day to hold the ceremony. He abdicated the throne to Shun, but Shun felt that his reputation was not enough and his virtue was not enough. He was unwilling to accept it. Yao had no choice but to let him temporarily take on the duties of the ruler.
After Shun took over the responsibility of the Lord, he revised the calendar and held a grand ceremony to worship God, the four seasons of heaven and earth, and the gods of mountains and rivers. He also collected the letter tablets of the various vassals and chose an auspicious day to summon the various vassals and rulers to hold a grand ceremony to re-issue the letter tablets. The year he ascended the throne, he went to various places to patrol, worship famous mountains, summon princes, and observe the people's feelings. It was also stipulated that in the next five years, a patrol would be held to inspect the achievements of the vassals and to determine rewards and punishments. It could be seen that Shun paid attention to the relationship with the local areas and strengthened his rule over the local areas.
Shun saw that the members of Yao's council were Gun, Gao Yao, Qi, Houji, Boyi, Kui, Long, Yi, Peng Zu, etc. There was no specific division of labor among them. Shun assigned different duties to each according to their strengths. Gun served as Sikong, in charge of the water and soil, Houji presided over agriculture, sowing hundreds of grains; Qi Ren Si migration, in charge of education; Gao Yao Ren judicial officer, in charge of punishment; He was in charge of the handicraft industry, and he was in charge of the vegetation, birds and animals in the mountains and forests. Boyi was in charge of the sacrificial ceremony. Kui was responsible for educating the children of nobles. The dragon was the word of acceptance. It was specially used to convey Shun's orders and convey his feelings. Shun also stipulated that the achievements of officials would be assessed once every three years. Those who had achievements would be promoted, and those who were incompetent would be replaced. Shun set up officials to divide their duties, so that officials had clear duties, improved efficiency, and all industries flourished.
Shun personally went to the place where Gun controlled the flood to investigate. He found that the flood was caused by the water monsters. Even he knew that to completely eradicate the flood, he had to first quell the water monsters. However, Gun only knew how to block and knew nothing else. Therefore, he thought Gun was incompetent and exiled Gun to Yushan.
Shun sent people from all over the world to inquire about talents who could control the water, and at the same time, he sent people from all over the world to ask cultivators and experts to pacify the chaos of the water monsters. Later, he heard that Gun's son, Yu, was very knowledgeable about flood control, so he let Yu take over the job.
Yu was the son of Gun, surnamed Si, also known as Wen Ming, the word Gaomi. He was born in Xiqiang and later moved to Chongzhou with his father. Yao was granted the title of Xia Bo, so he was also called Xia Yu or Bo.
When Yu received the appointment, he had only been married for four days. He did not have time to take care of his wife. In order to control the flood, he ran around everywhere. He passed by his house three times but did not enter. The first time, his wife was sick and he did not go home to visit her. The second time, his wife was pregnant and he did not go home to visit her. The third time, his wife, Tushan Family, gave birth to their son, Qi. The baby was crying loudly. Yu passed by the door and heard the crying, but he didn't go in to visit.
Yu changed his father's way of doing things. He led the masses to dig the dragon gate, dig nine rivers, and lead the flood into the sea. He worked with the common people, wearing a straw hat and holding a shovel. He took the lead in digging and picking soil. Yu's feet were soaked in water for many years, and even his heels were rotten. He could only walk with a stick. However, due to the limited manpower, the effect was not very good. Yu was very frustrated.
Moreover, the surrounding mountains and dams were mostly formed by his father Gun's Swelling Soil when he controlled the flood. They were extremely hard, so even after many years of governance, the effect was still not good. Shun saw that his flood control method was reasonable, but it was limited by the conditions and did not achieve results, so he did not blame him. He just stepped up the recruitment of talented people from all sides so that the flood could be pacified as soon as possible.
