12 Dayu's Flood Control
◎The vast expanse of Yu's footprints was divided into nine states◎
Everyone stared at the "horrible" legendary figure.
It turns out this is Dayu.
This is Dayu.
If this "monster" is really Dayu, then everything makes sense.
At this time, even someone as slow-witted as Tao Ran figured out the key points.
Originally, Dayu divided the country into nine states. It was only with Dayu that the nine states were divided.
Here, Dayu is the "cause" and the division of the country into nine states is the "result".
But in this world where cause and effect are reversed, the effect comes first and then the cause.
So the Nine Provinces were divided first, and then Dayu appeared.
So when Tao Ran accidentally drew a "Nine Provinces Map" on the ground, Dayu was deduced.
As for why it grows like this...
Everyone turned their heads and stared at Tao Ran.
Thanks to this talented person, a map of Kyushu was drawn that was wrong from beginning to end.
Zhu Heng threw the stone away, stood up, brushed off the dust, stretched out his legs and kicked the ground, scraping away all the lines and making the ground smooth.
The strange-looking Dayu disappeared with the disappearance of the "map".
Everyone understood what Zhu Heng was going to do.
He wanted to draw the Nine Provinces, the real Nine Provinces drawn up by Dayu himself.
Zhu Heng looked up at the scholar and asked, "Do you remember what it said in 'The Tribute of Yu'?"
"Yu spread the earth, carved wood along the mountainside, and laid the foundations for the great mountains and rivers." The scholar replied, "I only remember this line."
Everyone nodded thoughtfully.
Tao Ran didn't understand, so he quietly nudged the scholar's arm: "Hey, what does this mean?"
The scholar didn't want to answer at first, but out of the corner of his eye he noticed that, except for Zhu Heng, the other three people standing next to him all stretched their necks as if unintentionally, trying to eavesdrop.
He had no choice but to explain, "It means that when Dayu divided the nine provinces, he would cut down a tree and set up a marker whenever he reached a mountaintop, thus clearing a path for people to walk on. He also classified and named those high mountains and great rivers."
"What is he trying to do?" Tao Ran asked again.
"To control floods." The scholar was so annoyed by Tao Ran that he wanted to strangle him, but he still explained seriously, "Think about it, if you want to dredge a river, don't you first need to understand the directions of the rivers and mountains? That's what Dayu was all about."
Tao Ran said "Oh".
Everyone also said "Oh".
I see.
The vast land of Yu was divided into nine provinces.
If Dayu's achievements were limited to flood control, they would not be worthy of human praise.
In addition to flood control, Dayu named and classified mountains and rivers, and then divided the administrative regions, becoming the master of the Nine Provinces. The prehistoric settlements that were originally like stars blooming everywhere were unified from then on.
Without Dayu, there would be no beginning of the Xia Dynasty.
Therefore, this was the fundamental reason why they mistakenly helped Gun cure the flood on the cruise ship, which led to the end of Chinese civilization.
Tao Ran whispered, "Our Dayu is quite impressive. He handles so many tasks all by himself. My family was already having trouble letting me inherit just one company. If there were eight more, it would be the end of me!"
The actress couldn't help but laugh: "How can you compare?"
Tao Ran automatically ignored the ridicule from the actress and thought that as long as he could draw the Jiuzhou map, perhaps they could be freed from this world.
Victory seems to be just around the corner, but the problem is... no one remembers what the Kyushu map looks like.
The scholar felt a bit regretful. "Actually, the 'Tribute of Yu' does mention the geographical overview of the nine provinces at that time. It's a pity that I only remember the first sentence. It would have been much better if I could remember more."
Zhu Heng pondered for a long time, and suddenly picked up his "pen" to draw a map on the open space.
Everyone was stunned. Seeing that he looked so confident, could there be a chance?
Even a scholar like Shusheng couldn't remember the specific content of "Yu Gong", but he, a modern person who had not received a systematic education in the Four Books and Five Classics, could actually understand it. Everyone was delighted and thought that their team had really found a treasure, what a surprising turn of events...
Zhu Heng drew an egg on the ground.
Everyone looked at the egg happily.
An egg exactly the same as the one Tao Ran drew before, "Our Great China".
Everyone: “…”
The road turned around and ended in a ditch.
When Zhu Heng came to the "city," his movements paused. The monstrous Dayu, unable to move, could only bar his teeth and breathe at Zhu Heng, his lower body unsupported.
Zhu Heng divided the "city" into two parts and drew the upper part of the egg. Then he saw Dayu's two hands appearing on both sides of his shoulders, overlapping with the two feet growing from his hands.
He then erased the states on both sides of the "city" and drew half of it where the "city" had originally been. Then Dayu's two feet returned to his lower body, but the part below the knees was still incomplete, so he still couldn't walk.
Everyone was stunned.
They finally realized that Zhu Heng wanted to use the original egg and the structure of Dayu's body to reversely deduce the specific locations of the nine states.
He drew the map of the Nine Provinces to summon Dayu, and then used Dayu to deduce the map of the Nine Provinces.
Every time a part of Dayu's body was correctly pieced together, the corresponding state would light up like a light bulb. Moreover, based on the lines drawn by Zhu Heng, the map outline would be automatically completed and the name of the state would be displayed.
The first one to appear was Jizhou.
Next is Yanzhou.
Then came Qingzhou, Xuzhou and Yangzhou.
Jingzhou, Yuzhou...
Finally, there are Liangzhou and Yongzhou.
When all the maps of the Nine Provinces are completed, the world will be unified.
At this moment, everyone turned their heads and saw that where the monster had originally stood, a man with a hat on his head, a straw raincoat on his body, a resolute face, and a double-opening tool in his hand appeared.
The man spread his hands, carefully testing the air in front of him, touched his clothes, and looked up at this world that seemed new to him.
After a moment, he suddenly smiled and raised the plow in his hand.
Everyone subconsciously took two steps back.
The real Dayu didn't look at them. He held up his plow in one hand and said slowly, "I'm here. I'm here to control the flood."
The moment he finished speaking, a huge wall of water suddenly appeared at the end of the village. The waves smashed the roofs of the houses, and in an instant the water spread and submerged the entire lowland.
Everyone stood high on the hillside, staring at the scene in front of them in amazement.
Yes.
An inverted world, just like a TV series played in reverse.
First came the Kyushu Map, then Dayu. With Dayu and the Kyushu Map, the task of flood control naturally arose. The prerequisite for flood control is that floods must occur; otherwise, flood control is impossible.
That's why the great flood will come again.
But this time it was different. With Dayu by their side, history was back on track.
The flood gradually calmed down and turned into a deep green lake. It lay there quietly. The sunlight, sometimes fierce and sometimes dim, made the lake water look like emeralds of varying shades.
The sun gradually set in the west, and the dazzling, large expanse of white was baked into a brilliant golden color. Golden dots hit the surface of the lake, jumping happily.
Dayu raised his palm and looked into the distance, then turned around and waved to everyone.
He said, "Goodbye, everyone."
Tao Ran was stunned: "Leaving now?"
Dayu pushed down his bamboo hat and said: "The flood is flowing backwards and flooding China. I must guide the mountains and the water so that the people of the world can live on flat land and have enough food to eat."
He turned and was about to leave.
Tao Ran grabbed an apple from the ground and called to Dayu, "Take some food with you!"
Dayu strode forward without looking back, and waved to the crowd with his back: "No, eat it yourself."
A water bag flew across the sky and fell from Dayu's hand into the arms of the little peasant girl: "This one is for you too."
The "cause" of the little peasant girl's water bag also appeared.
Everyone watched Dayu leave alone. He passed through the shade of the trees and returned to the sunlight. The golden sunset chased his back.
The road ahead was covered with thorns, and where he stepped barefoot, large patches of wild flowers bloomed.
There was a sound of wind, passing through the wild flowers layer by layer and stopping at the feet of the crowd.
Heaven and earth are silent.
【bite--】
Dayu spent thirteen years controlling floods, surveying the nine provinces on foot, his footprints all over the world, completing the earliest regional identity in China.
[Congratulations to all viewers for successfully finding the fragments of civilization]
A crackling sound of electricity came from Tao Ran's pocket, sounding a bit muffled.
"Found fragments of civilization? What does that mean? We can get out now, right?" Tao Ran took out the apple excitedly, very excited.
The system says: [Theoretically, it is possible]
In an instant, everyone's hopes seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water, and their enthusiasm came to an abrupt end.
Before everyone killed it, Apple added a crucial message: [But—some of you haven't connected your causal lines yet. Only when they are connected can you leave here. Consider this a little Easter egg for you.]
Zhu Heng's expression remained calm as he stared coldly at the apple.
Easter egg your dad.
