Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was not in the right position, so he naturally wanted to pursue civilized and martial arts.

Civil administration, of course, involves holding imperial examinations; and building the canal integrates civil administration and martial arts into one, and is a thousand-year plan.

Speaking of the construction of the canal, we have to trace it back to the founder of the Sui Dynasty.

That day, he reviewed the memorial until late at night, then lay down next to the desk and took a nap.

In the hazy moment, I floated above the capital, overlooking the magnificent scenery of the mountains and rivers, and felt relaxed and happy.

Suddenly he heard the sound of rushing water, but saw the water coming from below the city. He panicked and ran away in a hurry.

But he couldn't beat the speed of the current. When he turned around, he saw that the huge waves were hitting his head. He screamed and woke up suddenly.

Since then, the matter of building the river has been on his mind. After he abdicated, he handed over this important task to Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty to stabilize the country and the country.

Of course, in addition to floods, there are also man-made disasters.

There was a prince in the court, Li Hun, who had a son, Li Hong. In response to the image of a flood in his dream, the Sui Dynasty was very afraid of him and ordered him to be executed.

This incident spread, and a man named Li was also alarmed.

This person's name is Jingzi Pharmacist, and he is a man capable of both literary and military skills.

He is young and weak, but he has great ambitions. It is expected that the Sui Dynasty will not last long, so why can't he be the common leader of the world?

One day, when he was passing by Huashan, he heard that a Xiyue Mountain God was very efficacious, so he conveyed his thoughts through the power of incense.

At night, he dreamed that the judge of Huashan sent him a gatha, which included the number of his life.

"It turns out that I am not the right one. It seems that I have no choice but to find the right one to help me. It will not be a waste of my abilities!"

So he traveled around the world to look for the real dragon in the world.

When he came to Weinan to visit friends, there was a severe drought in the area. He was also difficult to walk, so he asked an old farmer beside the farm for a bowl of tea.

After drinking the tea, I continued walking forward and saw a rabbit jumping out from the edge of the mountain rock.

He quickly opened his bow and shot at it, but the rabbit escaped with the arrow.

"Hey, I've got the prey, can I still let you run away?"

Li Jing drove his horse to catch up, and the road became more and more deserted. When the red sun set in the west, he had already lost sight of the way he came.

"Oops, lost!"

"There are many tigers and wolves in the mountains and forests. I have to find a place to rest and escape!"

He raised his eyes and looked around, and saw fire coming from deep in the forest, so he went there immediately.

When we got there, there was indeed a big mansion.

Li Jing knocked on the door and asked to stay overnight. After informing the old lady, the old gatekeeper tied his horse to the big tree in front of the door and led him in.

He didn't see much splendor from the outside of the house, but as soon as he entered the house, he felt extremely luxurious.

The old lady is even more graceful and elegant, with extraordinary temperament.

Li Jing did not dare to be presumptuous, so he bowed down and told the origin of his name, and at the same time asked his master's family name.

The old lady said: "This is the Long Family Villa! We are not supposed to take in passers-by, but since you got lost and came here to seek shelter, you should be treated well."

Then he ordered someone to hold a banquet, and Li Jing thanked him again.

After dinner, the guest room has been arranged. Judging from the interior furnishings, it is even more exquisite than that of a wealthy family.

Li Jing murmured to himself, where did this Long family come from? Seeing the bookshelves piled with books, he took them to take a look.

When it was unfolded, it was not owned by the human race, but there were rows and rows of tadpole writing.

Although he had never seen such writing, he still understood its meaning. It recorded strange things about rivers, lakes, springs, oceans, and aquatic life. He had never heard of them, and he was immediately fascinated by them.

It wasn't until the second watch that a sudden sound outside the hospital woke him up.

"A rainy day talisman has arrived!"

Someone inside responded: "The old lady welcomes the heavenly talisman!"

"Why is the Rain Talisman here? Is this not the human world?"

Thinking about the books I just read, I am even more sure of this.

When he was shocked, the old doorkeeper knocked on the door, and the old lady asked him to come out and see her.

Li Jing hurriedly followed him to the hall.

"Your Majesty, don't be surprised! This is indeed the Dragon Palace, and I am the Mother of Dragons!"

The old lady sat upright and said to him: "I have just greeted the heavenly talisman. It will rain only at the third watch tonight and will stop at dawn. I must not violate this at any time."

"Unfortunately, the eldest son sent his younger sister to marry far away, and the younger son got married in Dongting. He couldn't make it back in time."

"I am a female, but I don't dare to be good at it, so please honor me and carry out the duties of Yu for the time being. I will definitely be rewarded when you succeed!"

It's better to come early than to come late!

As soon as he heard that Mother Long wanted him to take over the duties of Yu temporarily, Li Jing immediately agreed without even bothering to ask about Long Zi.

The Dragon Mother was overjoyed and ordered someone to fetch a glass of wine, handed it to Li Jing and said, "Drink this glass and you can control the wind and thunder!"

Li Jing took it, the aroma of wine was fragrant, and he felt refreshed after just a whiff.

"It's indeed a fairy brew!" He drank it all in one gulp.

"A dragon horse has been prepared outside the door. Riding it can fly into the air. There is a pure bottle on the saddle. The clear water in the bottle is jellyfish."

"But when you encounter a place where the dragon and horse are jumping, take a drop of water from the golden spoon and put it on the horse's mane. No more, no less. This is the way to make rain, remember it! When the rain is done, the dragon and horse can go back on their own."

After giving the instructions, Li Jing kept them in mind and immediately went out and mounted his horse.

The dragon and horse were tall and mighty. They soared into the air in just a few steps and moved smoothly against the wind.

For a moment, thunder roared and lightning flashed across the four hooves, but Li Jing remained unmoved and followed the mother dragon's words to make rain fall.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, he looked down from the twilight and saw the place where he had had tea during the day.

"There is a severe drought here. How about a few more drops! If you receive a cup of tea from an old farmer, you should repay it with sweet rain!"

After finishing the work, he returned to the courtyard gate, only to see Dragon Mother with a sad face, complaining to him: "Your Majesty, you have missed my important event!"

"One drop of pure water in a clean bottle is like a foot of rain on earth! If you sprinkle twenty drops, wouldn't it make the world a bountiful country?"

"My body has been punished by heaven. I have a hundred sticks on my back, and the children in my family have also suffered the punishment of heaven!"

"Ah? My biggest sin!"

He did bad things with good intentions, and countless lives suffered, making Li Jing unable to accept the blame and feel ashamed.

He immediately returned the rain items, covered his face and left.

I rode my horse to the field where I saw yesterday, and there was a vast expanse of water, but the old farmer was nowhere to be seen.

"I will reorganize the world and give the people a happy land."

After making a big wish, he walked along the ocean, hoping to do something to make up for it.

As we walked toward midday, we heard a faint cry for help in the distance.

He quickly rode forward and saw two children hanging on the tree. Although they were not washed away by the flood, they were still dying.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"

Li Jing kicked off his legs, and his body suddenly soared into the sky like a wild goose, walking across the water to the tree.

However, his figure did not stay. He opened his arms, took the two children into his arms, and walked back to the shore through the water.

He put his hands on the children's backs and poured in the whole body's true energy, finally saving their lives.

Fortunately, I still had some dry food with me. I broke it into pieces, soaked it until soft, and poured it into the mouths of the two children.

Not long after, the two children woke up with a whimper.

Looking at the clear eyes of the two children, Li Jing suddenly had various realizations in his heart.

He hurriedly asked: "What are your names?"

"To reply to my benefactor, we are just wandering little beggars with nicknames but no real names."

"If our benefactor doesn't dislike us, please accept us!"

The two children barely escaped death and kowtowed to Li Jing.

"This is what God has decreed, this is what God wills!"
