History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 57 Fengjun controls the water
Faced with the idea of ​​serving as an official across the country, Feng Yun had no idea.

He threw the "Ode to Dayu" high into the sky, turning it into countless seal characters and flying into the shadow of Dayu in mid-air.

Dayu controlled floods, dredged canals and turned them into roads, diverting countless floods into the sea.

At this time, Feng Yun wanted to use the power of "Fu of Dayu" to survey the waterways and reproduce Dayu's virtues in the Yue Kingdom.

Compared with the land of Kyushu, the flood in the Yue Kingdom came suddenly, but its stamina is still weak. If the Yue Kingdom works together, the flood can be suppressed in less than half a month.

As Feng Yun used Dayu's shadow to observe the waterway.

Feng Yun looked at Sima: "I can't control the floods alone, I need your help."

Sima immediately said: "I wonder what Lord Feng has planned?"

Feng Yun said: "I heard that the Yue Kingdom was the country where Dayu worshiped, and there is a tradition of witchcraft and dance."

"It happened that Yu was observing the white fox and blue bird in "Mountains and Seas" and learned more about the Yue Kingdom."

"The country of Yue respects the totem of the blue bird, and this bird is called Ye Bird."

Sima heard the sound, nodded and said: "The Ye Bird is the totem of the Yue Kingdom, and the White Fox is the direct descendant of the clan and the symbol of Dayu."

Compared with the white fox, this metal bird is more common in the sacrifices of the Yue people.

And Wuli also has this dance of metallurgical birds.

"I also hope that the Yue witches can organize the Yue people to dance the dance of the smelting bird together. When Dayu plans the waterway, the smelting bird can also flap its wings and stir up the wind, pushing the floods along the waterway."

"This...is this really feasible?" Sima's eyes widened, somewhat confused.

Although the literati's arts are often bizarre, they are not as straightforward as martial arts.

But it won't be this weird.

"Did Mr. Feng gain enlightenment from "The Picture of Mountains and Seas"?" Sergeant Fan couldn't help but ask.

Feng Yun shook his head slightly.

"I'm just trying my best. I alone don't have the strength to eliminate floods in the entire country."

All the innate people are troubled by this flood, let alone Feng Yun, a second-rate scholar.

He just wanted to use the power of all the Vietnamese people.

Sima hugged his palms and saluted.

"Then there's Mr. Lao Feng." After saying that, he looked at the great witch beside him.

The great witch hurriedly said: "I will inform the witches right away... But how can ordinary people perform witchcraft dance?"

He looked at Feng Yun and asked, "How about just a group of witches dancing and asking some nobles to join us?"

Feng Yun's eyes were slightly dozed, and he said softly: "I am just giving you a method, it is up to you whether to use it or not."

Feng Yun originally wanted to let the slaves dance together, but this time it seemed that it was impossible.

But even the common people don't dance, what's the use of relying only on the few gentry children.

Feng Yun looked calm and said nothing.

The great witch looked panicked, but he couldn't make the decision.

"Lord Feng is actually here!" An old but powerful voice came.

"Great Witch God!"

The common people around them bowed their heads.

The great witches and Sima stepped forward and saluted: "Great witch god."

The Great Witch God was an old but strong old man, covered in feather ornaments, and holding a feather bamboo in his hand. He glanced at Sima and saw his eyes moving towards Feng Yun.

He said: "I am looking for Lord Feng, but I don't expect Sima to be much faster than me."

Feng Yun heard the sound and said, "I wonder what the great witch god is looking for?"

The Great Witch God bowed deeply.

The great witch and Sima were shocked.

The great witch said: "Great witch god, how could you..."

The Great Witch God waved his hand and lowered his head and said: "The country of Yue is flooded. I am the Great Witch God of the country of Yue, but I cannot pray for the people of Yue to reduce the flood."

"Now we can only hope to save Yue if we ask Lord Feng to take action. Otherwise, we can only..."

His words faltered slightly.

Feng Yun was not prepared to ask, but Sima on the side said: "It's a great fortune teller, a qi refiner, who is even less trustworthy than the people in the great court. How can we let him take action?" Sima felt that he was reckless, and he wanted to change his words and say something else. , but seeing that Feng Yun didn't care, he kept silent.

Although Feng Yun remained calm, he did not expect that Da Bu had such a status among the scholar-bureaucrats of the Yue Kingdom.

Feng Yun told the great witch god the method he had told the great witch before.

The great witch god handed out the feather bamboo joint in his hand, held it in front of Feng Yun, and said directly: "I still need to take care of the national sacrifice. Regarding the flood, Lord Feng holds the bird bamboo joint. No one dares not to follow it." .”

Feng Yun listened and slowly took the bamboo knot.

Then he ordered: "The great witch listens to the order and leads the common people to dance like a bird!"

"The great witch respects Fengjun's order."

Now that the great witch god has given his approval, they, the great witches, have followed suit.

Although witches have a status like scholar-bureaucrats, witches do not need luck, but the trust of the people. Even the great witch god will satisfy the people's hearts and control their destiny.

"Dance of the dancing birds!" the great wizard shouted loudly.

And as the great witch danced, a strange power enveloped him.

"The Vietnamese people dance!"

The common people, following the steps of the great witch, actually performed the dance of the metal bird in a decent manner. Following the dance of the metal bird, waves of blue power rushed out and turned into young blue birds.

"Buzz!" Dayu's eyes narrowed, and those small cyan birds flew up one after another and landed behind.

When strong winds blow, the floods continue to flow where the birds fly, becoming more orderly.

Seeing this, Sima gave an order.

"Go and summon the Yue people!"

It was conceivable that the armored soldiers had no authority, so they immediately said to Feng Yun: "Master Feng, please control the water. I will go to the city of Kuaiji to gather the Vietnamese people."

Feng Yun said: "You can dance anywhere. You can let the great wizard lead the dance in the city."

"No!" Sima responded and hurried away.

The Great Witch God said: "Let me perform the Bird Dance in Kuaiji!"

After saying that, he also pulled away.

Sergeant Fan watched curiously. He had been in Yue for several years, but he rarely had the opportunity to see such a feat.

"Do the Vietnamese people have to dance? Isn't it okay to sincerely pray for blessings?"

In response to Sergeant Fan's inquiry, Feng Yun said: "In the Yue Kingdom, the concubine of Shaokang, the Empress of Xia, was granted a title in Kuaiji to guard Yu's temple."

"The Yue Kingdom was originally a place to worship Emperor Yu, and the whole country sacrificed it. If the power of "Dayu Fu" cannot suppress the flood, there is nothing I can do."

As Feng Yun said this, a white fox silhouette slowly condensed.

"Di Yu's shadow has gone far away. I'll take a boat and leave. I wonder if there is a boat?"

Sergeant Fan heard the sound.

"Feng Jun, please wait." He went to look for an armored soldier. Soon, a group of armored soldiers came carrying a wooden boat.

"Fengjun please."

Looking at the wooden boat swaying on the water, Feng Yun waved his hand, and the white fox jumped up and enveloped the wooden boat, adding a touch of mystery to the wooden boat and stabilizing it in the flood.

Feng Yun then entered the boat.

Sergeant Fan also got on the boat, picked up the bamboo pole, and started rafting for Feng Yun.

"I'm sorry to bother Sergeant Fan." After Feng Yun finished speaking, he picked up the book "Dayu's 28 Constellations" and read it carefully.

Dabu once said that Dayu controlled the floods by exploring 28 mountains according to the scope of the 28 constellations, so as to guide the floods and govern the world.

Now, he can give it a try and see if the stars in Yue Kingdom are blessing him.

In this way, when the Vietnamese people were performing the dance of the birds, a large number of blue birds flew in and rolled around Feng Yun, guiding the surrounding water to flow along the waterway planned in "Fu of Dayu".

If they encounter obstacles, the metal birds will gather in groups, pick up the rocks and branches, and throw them to the water outlet that needs to be blocked.

In this way, following the flood, the water flow downstream of Kuaiji became smoother and smoother, and the water level upstream also dropped a lot.

Whenever Feng Yun went, the Yue people who heard about it came to the river bank with the few food at home, calling to Feng Jun, hoping that Feng Yun could accept some food as a token of gratitude.

And for half a month, Feng Yun also arrived at the east of Yue, where the river and the sea meet, with such supplies.
