Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Chapter 228 What monkey doesn't like sticks?
After Yu returned to the tribe, he first married the wife his father had arranged for him, and then prepared to set out to control the flood.

At this time, envoys sent by Shun, Bo Yi and Hou Ji, arrived. Following Shun's orders, they worked with Yu to control the flood and assist his work.

So on the fourth day after his marriage, Yu left home and resolutely embarked on the arduous journey of flood control.

Yu led Boyi, Houji and a group of assistants, crossing mountains and rivers, sleeping in the open air, and their footprints covered the mountains, rivers and lakes, remote villages and even places where there were few people in the Central Plains at that time. Along the way, they witnessed countless human beings struggling in the flood.

Wherever Yu went, he would do his best to help the local people. Then, holding a measuring line in his left hand and a compass in his right hand, he would carefully measure wherever he went.

On this day, Yu measured the depth of the local flood as he did before, but he was unable to obtain accurate data because the gauge was not long enough.

Yu thought about it and jumped directly into the flood. He then used his magic power to enlarge himself, using his body as a measure.

This scene happened to be seen by Xuandu, who was traveling among the human race and rescuing mortals.

Xuan Du had assisted Shaohao, so it was natural that he could see that Yu also had the luck of the Five Emperors. However, the human race already had five of the Five Emperors, so would there be a sixth?

Thinking of this, Xuan Du became interested in Yu. He transformed himself into an old man and walked in front of Yu.

"Old man, why are you here? The flood is so severe, you should come back quickly!" Yu said hurriedly after seeing Xuan Du.

“I saw someone fall into the water, so I wanted to help, so I came here. I didn’t expect to meet an immortal.” As he said this, Xuan Du pretended to kneel down.

Seeing this, Yu quickly supported the old man and said helplessly: "Old sir, you are embarrassing me. I am not an immortal. I have only learned some Taoist methods."

"I see. Then why did you jump into the water just now?"

Yu smiled and said, "I am measuring the depth of the flood."

"Measure the depth of the flood? Forgive my ignorance, I don't quite understand what you are trying to do."

“Our ancestors mostly controlled floods by blocking them. Water can penetrate everywhere, so we can block it for a while, but not forever. In my opinion, blocking is not as good as dredging. So I summarized the lessons of our ancestors’ failure in controlling floods and created a new method of dredging. The key is to dredge the waterway so that water can flow smoothly eastward into the sea.

If we want to dredge the waterways, we must first understand the depth of floods in different areas so that we can develop different dredging methods based on the floods in different areas.”

After listening to Yu's words, Xuandu's eyes lit up. This method indeed sounded more suitable for the human race at this time than the blocking method.

So Xuandu decided to help Yu. After saying goodbye to Yu, he returned to the Tushita Palace in Taiqing Heaven and asked Laozi to help him refine a ruler that could be large or small and could measure the depth of rivers, seas and lakes.

Laozi calculated with his fingers and knew what Xuandu wanted to use this thing for, so he used the Six Ding Divine Fire to forge the Nine-Turn Iron for 9981 days and refined an iron rod.

The iron rod was dark in color and exuded a mysterious aura. Laozi threw the iron rod to Xuandu and said, "This rod was made by me after I refined the Nine-Turn Iron for 9981 days. It weighs 13,500 kilograms and can be large or small. It can measure rivers, seas, and lakes without any problem.

However, this stick is quite spiritual, it is erratic and its spiritual energy has not yet disappeared. I am afraid that it will be difficult for Yu to control it. It requires an innate spiritual object to suppress it!
Xuandu, if you want to give this rod to Yu, you need to find the innate spiritual object yourself. "After saying this, Laozi waved his hand and threw Xuandu and the iron rod out of the Tushita Palace.

After Xuandu held the iron rod and pondered for a while, he thought of who to look for. He tore through the void and came to the entrance of the human world. After passing through the entrance and entering the human world, Xuandu bowed and said loudly: "Human Xuandu wants to see the Holy Mother."

As soon as Xuan Du finished speaking, he felt the space around him change, and the next second he appeared in front of Nuwa.

"Xuan Du has met the Holy Mother."

"No need to be polite. I already know why you are here."

"The Holy Mother is so wise. Please lend a helping hand to the human race." After saying that, Xuan Du took out the iron rod and presented it respectfully.

Nuwa had a thought, and the gourd vine used to create humans appeared in her hand. Nuwa took a small part of the gourd vine, divided it into two sections, and turned it into two fairy vine hoops that were put on the two ends of the iron rod.

Runes flickered on the fairy vine and spiritual power flowed, just enough to hold down the rod. At this point, the iron rod was finally formed. Five innate divine characters automatically appeared on the iron rod. It was named "Dinghai Shenzhen Iron".

Xuan Du was afraid that ordinary humans did not know the power of this stick and that touching it casually might cause unnecessary damage, so he added seven words on the iron stick: 13,500 kilograms.

Afterwards, Xuandu took the Dinghai Shenzhen Iron and went to the human tribe again, and gave the stick to Yu.

After receiving the Dinghai Magic Needle Iron, Yu was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. He hurriedly thanked the immortal and said, "Thank you for the gift. With this magic weapon, Yu will be able to successfully control the flood and save the people."

Xuan Du smiled and nodded, saying: "Your ability to control the flood is the greatest thank you to me."

After saying this, Xuan Du disappeared.

After getting the Dinghai Shenzhen Iron, Yu became more confident. After that, when he encountered huge rocks and mountains that were difficult to clear with human power, he held the Mountain-Splitting Axe in his hand, displayed his divine power, split the mountain and opened a path, making it unobstructed.

As for the monsters and demons along the way, those that can be defeated can be eliminated easily, and those that cannot be defeated will be assisted by the immortals of the Jiejiao.

Whenever Yu arrived at a place that needed to be governed, he would mobilize the masses from various tribes to carry out the construction.

Whenever a water conservancy project was started, he worked with the people, digging mountains and rocks, working day and night.

When Yu was controlling floods, he passed by his home three times without entering. The first time he passed by his home, he heard a child crying. At that time, his wife Tushan had just given birth to a son for him.

Yu was extremely eager to see his wife and children, but when he thought about the arduous task of flood control, he could only bow deeply to the thatched cottage at home, with tears in his eyes, and ride away on his horse.

Later, Yu divided the country into nine states based on the geographical conditions of the mountains and rivers, namely: Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou, Liangzhou, Yuzhou, Yongzhou, and Jingzhou.

His method of water control was to manage the mountains and rivers of the entire country as one. He first dredged the land of the Nine Provinces, dredged what needed to be dredged, leveled what needed to be leveled, turning a large amount of land into fertile farmland.

Afterwards, he managed the mountains, including Qishan, Jingshan, Leishou Mountain, Taiyue Mountain, Taihang Mountain, Wanglao Mountain, Changshan, Dizhu Mountain, Jieshi Mountain, Taihua Mountain, and Dabie Mountain.

The key point is to dredge the waterway so that water can flow smoothly and not block the waterway.

After the mountain road was regulated, he began to sort out the water veins. Yu held the Dinghai Shenzhen, which could accurately measure the amount of water and regulate the water flow. With this needle, Yu leveled the mountains and covered the water, calmed the sea and subdued the dragon, and eliminated the dragon in the river. He was successful in everything he did. Later, there was a saying that "King Yu sought the divine treasure, and the four seas and eight rivers were the test." However, when Dayu was diverting water all the way to the East China Sea, he was blocked in the Huai River area.

This is because there lived a powerful Huai River god named Wuzhiqi in the Huai River.

Wuzhiqi is a great water ape sage who was born from the earth and the sky during the ancient calamity. He is one of the four monkeys who brought chaos to the world. He has practiced for a long time and survived the calamity of wizards and demons. His magic power is unfathomable.

After Yu learned of Wuzhiqi's identity and knew of his powerful strength, he tried to make an exchange with him, promising that if Wuzhiqi allowed him to divert the water into the sea, he would build a temple for him and let him be worshipped by the people for generations.

However, Wuzhiqi scoffed at these false reputations. In his eyes, anyone who invaded his territory would be regarded as a great enemy and would be expelled to maintain the peace of the Huai River.

It is also for this reason that although Wuzhiqi is a great demon in ancient times, he is worshipped as a god by some people in the Huai River area, who pray for his blessing of good weather and good harvests.

However, Yu would not give up so easily. If he wanted to divert the water into the sea, he had to go through the Huai River. Otherwise, it would be time-consuming and laborious to dig it again. The matter of flood control was urgent, so how could Dayu dare to delay it?

Seeing that the discussion was fruitless, Yu summoned the immortal masters of the human tribes to prepare for the battle against Wuzhiqi.

However, Wuzhiqi was very powerful and had reached the level of Daluo Jinxian. As a member of the demon clan, his body was equally strong. Even though Yu had the blessing of human luck and the mountain-splitting axe and the Dinghai Shenzhen iron for self-defense, he still could not gain any advantage over Wuzhiqi.

Yu thought that since he couldn't win in hand-to-hand combat, he might as well fight with magic.

So after Yu made the Dinghai Shenzhen bigger, he stirred the Huai River, which immediately caused a huge wave. This mighty wave smashed towards Wuzhiqi with a tremendous force.

However, Wuzhiqi did not show any panic at all, but remained calm and composed. He just flicked his fingers lightly, and the raging waves that were so powerful just now seemed to suddenly lose their strength and poured down.

Yu was shocked at first, but then he thought that Wuzhiqi was the god of the Huai River, and it would be foolish for him to attack him with water.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yu was about to retreat, but Wuzhiqi had already taken action first.

Wuzhiqi's target was not Dayu. Naturally, he also saw the strong humanitarian aura in Dayu. Wuzhiqi was not a fool and would not attack such a human being.

Wuzhiqi's target was only the Dinghai Magic Needle in Yu's hand.

Wuzhiqi had just noticed that this stick had a very strong power to control the sea and water. It was a rare treasure in the water system, which was why Wuzhiqi took a fancy to it.

Facing the sudden attack of Wuzhiqi, Dayu had no way to deal with it. After all, Wuzhiqi's cultivation was two realms higher than his. As the saying goes, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. It doesn't matter if the Dinghai Shenzhen is lost. The most important thing is to save his life first.

After Wuzhiqi took the Dinghai Shenzhen iron from Dayu, he found that the stick fit him very well. Not only could the stick be made as big or small as he wished in his hand, but he could also use it to suppress the Huai River, and the river was no longer stormy.

Wuzhiqi was extremely excited. He danced with the Dinghai Shenzhen iron in the Huai River with great vigor. After all, what monkey doesn't like a stick?

Looking at Dayu, after losing the Dinghai Shenzhen Iron, Dayu had no choice but to go to Mount Li to seek help from his master, the Holy Mother Wu Dang.

After arriving at Mount Li, Yu went straight to the cave of the Holy Mother Wu Dang. He walked forward quickly, bowed respectfully, and explained his purpose: "Disciple Dayu, I beg Master for help. The evil spirit Wuzhiqi is causing chaos, and I have lost the Dinghai Magic Needle Iron. I am really having trouble dealing with it."

Upon hearing this, Holy Mother Wu Dang frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes moving around. As a disciple of the saint, she naturally knew Wuzhiqi.

Wuzhiqi is a great monster that survived the last catastrophe. He has great magical powers and his ability to control water is comparable to that of the dragon clan. No one expected that Yu would encounter this monster when he was controlling the flood.

After a moment of contemplation, the Holy Mother Wu Dang said, "Yu, Wuzhiqi's demonic power is too strong for ordinary people to defeat. Let the disciples of Jiejiao take action!"

Dayu was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately thanked him: "Thank you, Master."

The next day, the helpers invited by Holy Mother Wu Dang arrived. There were three helpers in total. Although they were called three, the main force was actually Wu Yunxian, the leader of the Seven Immortals. The remaining two were Huo Ling, a disciple of Taoist Duobao, and Yu Yuan, a disciple of Holy Mother Jin Ling. These two should have just come to help hold the fort.

Wuzhiqi was not afraid at all when he saw Yu had invited helpers. He sneered and said, "A few juniors dare to attack me. They really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"

Wuzhiqi's voice was like a huge bell, reverberating between heaven and earth, filled with endless contempt and disdain. The demonic power carried by this voice was so great that ripples appeared in the void.

Seeing this scene, a hint of surprise flashed in Wuyunxian's eyes. Although Wuzhiqi only has the magic power of the early Daluo Jinxian, his combat power is quite impressive. He may be able to compete with the cultivators in the late Daluo Jinxian.

But Wuyunxian was not afraid of Wuzhiqi at all. He snorted coldly, said no more nonsense, and suddenly shouted loudly, and the magic power around his body surged out like a surging wave.

The Hunyuan Hammer in his hand instantly shone with the light of chaos. The light was dazzling and bright, as if it contained the power of chaos when the world was first created.

As Wuyunxian swung his hammer with all his might, the Hunyuan Hammer, carrying a tremendous force, smashed straight towards Wuzhiqi with the force of thunder. Wherever the Hunyuan Hammer passed, the wind whistled like thunder, as if it was going to smash the whole world to pieces.

When Wuzhiqi saw this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. He swung his claws fiercely to meet the attack. Demonic power lingered on his claws, and instantly turned into inky black rays of light.

As soon as the two collided, there was a deafening noise, and the sound waves spread out, as if it were real. The surrounding rocks were instantly shattered and turned into powder that flew all over the sky.

After the two of them were in a stalemate for a few breaths, Wuzhiqi could no longer hold on and was knocked away.

Wuyunxian took advantage of the situation and pursued Wuzhiqi with his hammer, which was extremely powerful and carried endless pressure.

Wuzhiqi had no way to avoid being hit hard by the Hunyuan Hammer, and a deep mark that could be seen to the bone immediately appeared on his body.

Wuzhiqi felt pain and roared in anger. His demonic power overflowed and the surrounding trees withered instantly, all life disappeared.

He opened his eyes wide with anger, and his figure flashed like lightning, appearing beside him in an instant. He also took out the Dinghai Shenzhen Iron, wanting to smash Wuyunxian's head with one blow.

Wuyunxian was not stupid, so he would naturally not take Wuzhiqi's angry attack. He retreated quickly, his feet moving in the wind, erratic like a ghost.

At the same time, the Hunyuan Hammer in Wuyunxian's hand swept out again with a whistling sound, forcing Wuzhiqi to retreat.

"Uncle Master has really great magical powers!" Huo Ling, who had just joined the sect, said excitedly when he saw Wu Yunxian displaying his magical powers.
