Panhu was startled and jumped back half a step: "Little Haezhi, it turns out you can speak human language! Why don't you meet me in human form?"
Haechi replied: "I always show my true form to others. Who is like you? You are obviously a dog, but you always like to pretend to be a human being."
Panhu was unconvinced and said: "This is my true form, and my state of mind is also my magical power. Those who don't know don't know, and those who know know it themselves. I speak people's words, and act in the world.
The human form is practice."
Xie Zhi stood up and said: "I didn't say that you were not practicing cultivation, but why did you say that to me? What's wrong with showing people my true form? Is there anything shameful about me? Instead, it's you who transformed into your original form to try.
Try!...Hey, who is Xiaomiao?"
Panhu just muttered in his heart: "If I didn't have this kind of cultivation, Xiaomiao wouldn't be able to like me either." Although he didn't say this out loud, Haechi "heard" it, and he actually followed up the door to ask questions.
Panhu was startled again: "You can hear this too?... I have never seen such an auspicious beast like you. What's the point of having horns on your head?"
Haezhi asked again: "Who is Shan Zha? What did he do to you, and you are here to complain?" Panhu just thought of Shan Zha and muttered a few words in his heart, but unexpectedly, Hae Zhi heard him again.
.
The tiger boy couldn't laugh or cry. The temperament of this Xiezhi was different from Shan Zha's. He was not as arrogant as Shan Zha, but he also had the self-esteem of being an auspicious beast and liked to show his true form to others.
It is indeed very beneficial for demon cultivators to practice in human form, but there are many demon cultivators who are not like this. Especially the auspicious beasts and birds transformed from heaven and earth, they only transform into human forms when necessary, just for the convenience of doing things.
But deep down deep down, I still regard myself as an auspicious beast and a spiritual bird, and I don’t envy people.
In fact, people also have this kind of mentality. For example, although Huwa is proficient in the method of swallowing shapes, he will not be able to turn into a golden tiger or a mandrill. In his self-perception, this is what he looks like now.
This Haechi was lying there lazily just now as if he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to anyone, but now he was chasing Panhu asking endless questions. The young minister explained to Gao Tao apologetically: "My junior brother is always a little naughty in his behavior. Please, please
Sir, please forgive me."
Gao Tao didn't take it seriously and said: "Shanshui Lord is naive and interesting, and my Haechi is also very boring on weekdays. It's rare for someone to have such a happy chat with it..."
Of course Gaotao knew the temperament of the Haechi he had raised by himself. This auspicious beast had a great reputation. Anyone who saw it would feel mysterious and fearful. Who would be full enough to tease it? It was rare to encounter Pan.
Guys like Hu.
The Haechi shows its true form to others, with an innocent temperament and no pretense. However, the majestic beast that the people of the world think of is not the real Haechi lying in front of the Lord Sushi's house. With the longevity of the auspicious beast
Yuan, this Haechi is still a little beast. It is innocent and lively, but no one dares to play with it. Meeting Panhu is really an unexpected surprise.
Before Gao Tao finished speaking, he heard Panhu say again: "Is this little Haechi of yours a male or a female? What happened to the auspicious beasts transformed by heaven and earth? Are they more beautiful than others? You really have to be capable.
If so, find a place where no one can see you, and I will fight you in my original form!"
The Haechi shouted: "Okay, okay, I'm familiar with this place, I'll choose the place, you choose the time, and we'll have a big fight. If you don't follow your words, you're not a good dog!"
Panhu: "You are not a good dog to begin with."
Haechi: "I'm talking about you! I am a good Haechi, are you a good dog..."
Even Gao Tao shut up and stopped talking, and everyone else tried their best to pretend not to hear with a straight face. Panhu, the king of mountains and rivers, made an appointment for a "war", took the opportunity to get rid of the entanglement of the auspicious beast Haechi, and walked in with everyone.
Hall. As soon as everyone sat down, another visitor came outside the door. The visitor was Hou Gang.
Hou Gang is also in Puban City today. He heard the news and came here to meet his old friend. He did not come alone. He also brought a young man with him, named Ziqiu. Ziqiu was eight feet tall and strong.
, walking beside Hougang like a guarding warrior, but he is actually Hougang's disciple and comes from the Jiqiu clan.
Ziqiu had heard about Huwa for a long time. He had traveled all over the world to study, and he also went to Shanshui Country to ask Huwa for advice. Hou Gang even greeted Huwa specially. But when Ziqiu arrived at Shanshui Country, he did not see Huwa.
.Huwa was practicing in the Mountain and River Pictures at that time, and later went to the fairy world.
Ziqiu did not see Huwa in Shanshui Kingdom. Later he came to Pusang and became a student of Master Gaotao. Over the years, Gaotao compiled the Nine Canons, and Ziqiu was his most important assistant. This man was not only knowledgeable, but also proficient.
Sheyu can be said to be both civil and military. If you think about it carefully, this is normal. If you don't have good martial arts, how can you travel to the country of mountains and rivers and return safely?
Ziqiu didn't see Huwa last time in Shanshui Kingdom. Today he made up for his regret in Puban City. He followed Hou Gang to pay homage to several elders. After the salute was completed, Gao Tao ordered him to sit down. Before he could say a few words, the door opened.
Someone else came to visit, and it was really lively in Mr. Si Shi's house today.
When this visitor walked to the door, even the auspicious beast Haechi in the courtyard was startled. His eyes widened and he twisted his head. The unicorn flashed in the direction outside the door. It was not that he discovered something.
He was a treacherous person, but the visitor had an extraordinary identity. He came to visit suddenly at this time, and he didn't know what the purpose was.
Of course, you can't break into Master Si Shi's house without permission. The guards stopped the visitor and wanted to ask him about his purpose. At this time, Haechi walked to the door and said, "Let him come in directly. His identity is not something you can know."
The visitor was welcomed in by Xie Zhi, and Gao Tao and others heard the commotion and had already walked outside the hall. The visitor was described as a slender man, about thirty years old, and the robe he was wearing was of a simple style, and it was unknown what kind of material it was made of.
No trace of sewing can be seen.
Huwa was the first to speak: "Fellow Taoist, where did you come down to this realm from?" He recognized the person who came from the lower realm at a glance as a true immortal from the lower realm.
The man replied: "The mountain man's name is Wu Zhi. He comes from the immortal world of Kunlun. If I have anything to do, I want to see Lord Boyu."
Boyu immediately reacted and said: "Are you here for the Xirang Divine Pearl?... Please sit down in the hall and talk."
As soon as Wu Zhi showed up, he revealed his identity as a true immortal from the lower realm. Master Gaotao treated guests as usual and invited them into the house. Huwa had told Xuanyuan before that Emperor Xuanyuan had asked Chong Bo Gun to bring the Xi soil divine pearl.
If you take it away, you will have reason to send people down to the lower world, and now they have indeed come.
Wu Zhi didn't beat around the bush, and after sitting down, he directly mentioned what happened that year. Chong Bogun took the Heavenly Emperor Mysterious Pearl from Kunlun Wonderland, but after using it but not returning it, Emperor Xuanyuan sent him to the lower world to search for it. But where did this thing go?
Whoever took it was responsible for it. Chong Bo Gun was no longer there, so he came to find Boyu.
Boyu smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know where the Xuanzhu is. I wonder if Emperor Xuanyuan has told you how to find the Xuanzhu?"
Wu Zhi shook his head and said: "The Emperor of Heaven has not said anything, and I don't know how to find the Xuanzhu, so I came to see Lord Boyu."
Huwa interjected and asked: "Friend Wu Zhizhi, since Emperor Xuanyuan sent you to the lower world, I wonder what you are good at?"
Wu Zhi replied: "My practice lies in being good at knowing, so I am called Wu Zhi." It is not easy for him to boast, but the immortal family has its own explanation. Wu Zhi is smart, good at understanding and knowing all kinds of skills and knowledge in the world.
, he can learn it almost instantly, and he was a great talent before he became an immortal, so Emperor Xuanyuan sent him to the lower world.
Huwa smiled and said: "Then Wu knows that you can study the world's mountains and rivers, terrain, wind and water direction, and guess where the mysterious pearl may be lost. It is best to follow Lord Boyu."
Boyu quickly agreed: "Yu is responsible for the loss of the Xuanzhu. He will travel all over the world to control floods, so he must pay attention to find the Xuanzhu."
The wizard nodded and said: "The Emperor of Heaven has entrusted me with the task, and I dare not neglect it. Since Boyu has to travel all over the world to control floods, the wizard should also accompany him and pay attention to the whereabouts of the mysterious beads at all times." The implication seems to be that he wants to supervise Boyu's search.
Xuanzhu.
The young ministers and others in the hall had somewhat strange expressions, and they all looked at each other with smiles. Before Boyu set out to control the water, Emperor Xuanyuan sent a true immortal to the lower realm, saying that he was supervising Boyu's search.
Xuanzhu, but having such a true immortal by his side can not only ensure Boyu's safety, but also help with many ideas.
…
The timing of Boyu's arrival was very coincidental. Not only did he catch up with Emperor Xuanyuan's witchcraft to know the lower realm, but also coincided with the completion of Gao Tao's compilation of the Nine Codes. In the court hall the next day, the emperor Chonghua summoned all the ministers to meet with the heads of various ministries and their representatives, and ordered
Gao Tao presented the Nine Codes to the court and explained their true meaning to everyone. Why should such a national code be compiled? What is its content based on? What is its significance to all ministries in the world? How should it be implemented?
Ziqiu led several strong men to carry a cart of bamboo slips to the palace, and Ziqiu opened the volumes of bamboo slips and read and explained them in front of everyone. This was also a laborious job, and a weak man could not be a "scholar" like Ziqiu.
The essence of "Nine Tribes", "Nine Virtues", "Five Religions", "Five Punishments", "Five Rites", "Five Services", "Sacrifice", "Prison Code", "League Code"... cannot be explained in a few words.
It was over. Ziqiu preached for three days in successive court meetings. If the emperor and the princes had any questions, Gao Tao answered them in person, and everyone in the court praised him.
Gao Tao compiled the canons into a book, which was an unprecedented achievement. The contents of the Nine Canons were not thrown out of thin air to all the kings of the world. Over the years, Gao Tao researched historical materials, interviewed elders and wise men, and discussed with the heads of various ministries and even the people.
When the code was promulgated, it was already a matter of course.
If there is anything as important as water control nowadays, it is the making of the Gaotao Code. Therefore, Boyu did not interrupt Ziqiu's lecture and waited patiently for three days.
Three days later at the court meeting, Boyu finally introduced his detailed plan for water control to the ministers. The emperor Chonghua said: "The plan for water control seems complete, but how can Lord Boyu ensure that all ministries follow it and China is governed?"
Boyu replied: "I originally planned to ask Lord Gaotao for advice on this trip. It happened that Lord Gaotao had made a great contribution to the country. This is the destiny of heaven. The emperor will issue nine codes to the world. So when Yu controls the flood
, then he proclaimed the Nine Codes to all ministries and used them to govern the world."
Did Boyu only control water? Rivers flow and seas change. This is the way of nature. If there were no inhabited cities, villages and fields, there would be no need to control water. It is precisely because of the emergence of human society that this matter has changed.
It is necessary. Therefore, controlling water is also governing the world. Combining the way of humanity with the way of heaven, and using water control to implement Gao Tao's code is to rule the world.
Chonghua nodded and said: "Who will Mr. Boyu assist?"
Boyu: "Please ask the emperor to send Boyi to assist you."
Boyu recommended an assistant, Boyi, who was also recommended to him privately by Gaotao. It is said that Boyi had supernatural powers, was proficient in the words of birds and beasts, and was good at driving animals to obey orders. This sounds like the beasts of the Bayuan sect.
There are actually some differences in the secret techniques that Shan is good at. Boyi was a wise man in the country and was even revered as the ancestor of animal husbandry by later generations.
Raising poultry and livestock has been around since ancient times, and Boyi made a systematic summary of this, teaching people how to better breed and breed, and use various animals. The skills he taught were completely civilian, and ordinary people in various ministries
All can be mastered.
Boyu could command the people of various tribes to control the floods, but there were many mountains, rivers and wild lands outside the city walls, and it was impossible for him to notify the wild animals to cooperate, so he needed Boyi's assistance.
After the court meeting, Boyu was ordered by the emperor to set off. He had to cross the lakes in the Central Plains, cross the rivers and the Huai River, and first arrive at the Xiangliu tribe. Huwa and Boyu said goodbye just outside Puban City, and agreed to stay in Ba.
See you again in the East China Sea. Boyu crossed the river and went south, but he didn't take a car and didn't even wear shoes. He just walked with bare feet.
Deputy Boyi accompanied him, but Wu Zhi disappeared without a trace. Bingchi and Dingchi followed behind, pulling a white fragrant wood carriage. The carriages contained the necessary items for the journey, including tents, dry food and other items.
…
Xiang Liu was originally a minister of Gong Gong. After the Gong Gong Ministry was withdrawn, the people of the tribe were divided into many large and small factions. Later, Emperor Yao, the Emperor of Heaven, conferred the title of three Bojuns, and Xiang Liu was one of them. Because of this great catastrophe
During the flood, some tribes suffered heavy losses and many people moved away. However, the Xiangliu tribe took advantage of the situation and became stronger, attracting many forces to join them. Now it seems to have the momentum to replace the Gonggong tribe.
On this day, Xiang Liu summoned the leaders of various tribes to discuss matters. Together with the other two uncles who had been canonized by the Chinese, they were also respectful in front of Xiang Liu. Some of his subordinates reported to the leaders: "Bo Yu has been ordered to go south by the emperor.
OK, there is a flying chariot, but I don’t ride on it, I walk barefoot.”
Xiang Liu snorted coldly: "Chong Bo Gun often walked barefoot when he was controlling floods. He was imitating his father in order to gain fame... What did he do on the road?"
His subordinates replied: "Whenever Boyu goes to a crowded place, no matter what tribe he belongs to or what city wall he is, he will look for a towering tree and inscribe on it the Five Religions, Five Punishments, and Nine Virtues recently promulgated by the Emperor.
Everyone can see it and teach them to read and recite it.”
Xiang Liu frowned and said: "He has such thoughts, but he is in favor of the emperor. Have he forgotten that he and Chonghua have a grudge for killing his father?... His strategy for water control is to split Wuyun Mountain and divert the Bayuan East Sea downward.
Too many people talking is not good for our Yandi old tribe."
Someone on the side said: "Bo Yu's move is a good thing for you. Back then, Lord Di Jiang wanted to unify the tribes on both sides of the river, but unfortunately he failed. Now if Wu Yun Mountain is really to be split, the Chongchen tribe will also be hit hard.
, I’m afraid I won’t be able to contain us any longer.
The old tribes of Emperor Yan migrated to the south and had been without a leader for many years. Fortunately, Mr. Xiang Liu was born, and his prestige was even greater than that of Emperor Jiang. It was time to use this matter to attract public opinion. He used the name of the old tribe of Emperor Yan to challenge Bo Yu, which was also a challenge to the emperor of China. The people's hearts were moved.
"If no one listens to Boyu's words, your Majesty can ascend high and shout, and the situation will be achieved."
Prime Minister Liu Zhanyan said with a smile: "I have made arrangements. Veteran generals from various tribes will come to question Boyu. It is not easy for him to get here. When he comes, the emperor appoints Gun's son to control the floods. The words that will be detrimental to the Yan Emperor's old tribes should have been spread
All over the four directions. It is not good for us, the kings, to disobey the emperor's orders, but the public opinion is boiling. Boyu will definitely ask for help from us, and it is the right time to do something."
As soon as he said this, another subordinate suddenly came to report that Boyu had entered the land of Xiangliu!
Xiang Liu was shocked and said: "Isn't he walking barefoot? How could he come so fast! I arranged for people from various tribes to come on the road in the name of Emperor Yan's old tribe to question him about his strategy to control the floods. Isn't there any movement?"
The subordinate bowed his head and replied: "The elders of various tribes still consider themselves to be the old people of Emperor Yan. Boyu issued an order from Emperor Yan and asked everyone to listen to his detailed description of the gains and losses of flood control. Now the elders of all tribes have followed Boyu."
