Chapter 17 The Eyes of the Earth in Shifo Town

In the second year of Emperor Cheng of Han, a major break occurred in the Yellow River, and Junxian and Huaxian became a vast ocean. The prefect of Dongjun at that time could not think of any way to manage the flood, so he went to the Tianshen Temple to pray and make a wish, begging God to bless the people no longer suffer from the flood.

At this time, a wizard advised that the river god wanted to marry beautiful women. As long as four beauties were selected to bury them in Tiantai Mountain, the breach could block them and the flood would recede.

The prefect listened to the wizard's words and ordered the county magistrates of Junxian and Huaxian to do as they did. So, four girls selected from Junxian and Huaxian were buried alive in the four corners of Tiantai Mountain.

The Yellow River embankment in this area was called the Golden Dike in ancient times, which means solidity. In historical books, marrying a river god is called "Please fill the Golden Dike with your body."

When I thought of this legend, Lai Buyi suddenly woke up. Yes, yes. That Tiantai Mountain, or the Four Girls' Platform, is the key to suppressing this section of the Yellow River!

The giant turtle appeared a few more times, but was smashed by big rocks and sneaked into the water again. Now, the giant turtle seemed to have learned its lesson and refused to surface again.

But now everyone is no longer happy. One is that they have exhausted their strength in the fierce battle... Although this so-called battle is just to throw stones down the mountain.

Second, they are now beginning to vaguely discover that these stones cannot really hurt the giant turtle. The water level at the foot of the mountain has not tended to decline.

They have been sleepy on this Dali Mountain for most of the day. Their clothes were already soaked, and they were cold, tired and hungry all over. If they continued like this, they would all fall ill, after all, they were all spoiled people.

Furthermore, if the flood does not retreat for a long time, they will be trapped on the mountain and will probably starve to death if they are hungry. Now these officials and men have wiped out all the passion and strength that has burst out.

The ambition of unity, uniting, defeating evil, and finally winning is now almost numb with the cold rain, and the body that has not felt any warmth. It has become nothing left.

"Where did Shangfu go?" A hesitation continued to grow in the hearts of the people, and even continued to take root and sprout, spreading among the people.

In the face of such a monster, what people most desire is to come out to get a hero and solve the monster in a few ways. And they just need to cheer with dedication...

And this person, undoubtedly, at the beginning, they all decided that Wen Fei was a rumored person, with infinite magical powers and great supernatural powers, the guardian Tianshi, and the Taoist leader.

But since the beginning, Wen Fei's traces have disappeared. Although Cai Jing said that Shang's father had returned to the Heavenly Court to get the weapons and magic weapons to deal with the monster.

At the beginning, everyone was still full of confidence and hope, waiting for Wen Fei to bring powerful magic weapons to recover the monster at the foot of the mountain. But after waiting for so long, there was no trace of Wen Fei, and a sense of suspicion gradually emerged.

"Didn't Shang Father see that this monster is too powerful, so he ran away by himself?" This suspicion spread rapidly in the crowd like a virus.

People's hearts are often fragile, and they are often like this. When they are alone, even if they have decisions, confidence and rational characters, they are often infected with each other in the group, thus shaken and hesitate.

In ancient military camps, under many extreme circumstances, a little rumor or a little atmosphere could cause a large army to collapse directly...

One of the most famous examples is the siege of Gaixia. The morale in the entire military camp collapsed overnight and the army collapsed. The other is the equally famous war between Guan Yu and Guan Er Ge who was defeated in Maicheng...

Among these two examples, whether it is Xiang Yu or Guan Yu, they are all victorious troops with elite troops in a hundred battles.

But what is in front of you? A group of mobs, a group of imperial guards, yamen runners, servants, and even officials gathered together. If it weren't for this situation, rumors would have been around now!

Although Cai Jing was helpless about the situation in front of him, he still knew the gradually changing atmosphere among the crowd. As an old politician who has been in the officialdom for decades, he has no clear understanding of people's hearts.

Cai Jing was not worried about these situations in front of him. He believed that Wen Fei would definitely come back. Now I am afraid that even if the water is not big, although this place is just a tributary of the Yellow River, it suddenly suddenly emits such a large amount of water.

There is no defense in Tokyo. What should I do if I rush directly into Tokyo?

Everyone knows that the Yellow River is a river hanging on land. It is several meters higher than Tokyo City and is protected by the river embankment. It is an ordinary flood season, so the pressure of flood prevention is extremely high. Suddenly, it has risen heavily, and the river embankment has not yet been repaired this year...

Just when Cai Jing was anxious, Lai Buyi quietly walked over and lowered his voice: "Mr., now I have come up with a way to deal with this giant turtle!"

To be honest, Cai Jing is much more confident in Wen Fei than those people. Others have only heard of Wen Fei, but Cai Yuanchang has seen Wen Fei show all kinds of incredible miracles more than once.

Moreover, although this Lai Buyi knows some Feng Shui paths, Wen Fei did not realize that he could be more powerful than Wen Fei, so he was not very enthusiastic. So Cai Jing just said "Oh" and said with a slight hue, it was irresistible. This is a common method for the superiors.

Although Lai Buyi was a master of the future, he was still a young and raw melon seed at this time. He didn't know about this. He thought Cai Jing encouraged him to continue, so he told all the solutions he had come up with just like a bamboo tube pouring beans!

"This place was originally a water eye. According to ancient times, when King Yu controlled the water, he once shrank the dragon here. I think that the Dragon King of Dalishan was also unwilling to do so, and must have collected a lot of water vapor with his divine power, so there was such a large amount of water at this time..." Lai Buyi said.

Cai Jing became a little impatient and said what the use is this? He heard Lai Buyi and lowered his voice and said, "But there is no way to flood here since ancient times. But I have never heard of any demons causing trouble. Do you know why?"

Cai Jing heard something and asked with a smile: "Why?"

Lai Buyi said: "This place has been set up by ancient masters in the past to suppress the water eyes and monsters here. Look, where!"

Cai Jing's old eyes were dizzy, and he took out the reading glasses that Wen Fei gave him from his arms, and then he looked over after he put them in. Note 1

"It's that stone Buddha!" ​​Cai Jing recognized it at a glance. As a scholar, it is very important to establish one or several arts. At least you must be proficient in history and literature, and you must be knowledgeable and knowledgeable. It is more important to be well-versed in Confucian classics. This is the most traditional image of a scholar-official in ancient times. Of course, good or bad character is different...

Cai Jing himself was a talented man. When he was young, both Sima Guang of the old party and Wang Anshi of the new party praised him very much.

Cai Jing's talent and knowledge are naturally not bad, but because he is well-versed in classical meanings and proficient in philology. Of course, he knows clearly that on this inconspicuous Dali Mountain, this stone Buddha is the earliest stone Buddha dug north of the Yellow River.

It is said that when Shi Zhao was in the past, Shi Le used the words of the eminent monk Fo Tucheng in India to turn the cliff stone into a Buddha statue, searching for a high foot to defend the Yellow River.

According to legend, this Buddha statue is eight feet tall and is located in a seven feet tall attic. It is called the seven feet of the eight feet. At first glance, it sounds very puzzled, but it is actually the feet of the big Buddha on the ground.

"This place has been flooded since ancient times. The national teacher of Later Zhao, Fo Tucheng, only cultivated this stone Buddha to suppress the water." Lai Buyi said: "The local people even directly called this stone Buddha the Great General of Zhenhe. Just based on this point, you can know the role of this Buddha statue."

"Is this the eye of the Feng Shui array?" Cai Jing said strangely.

"No, the eye of the formation should be in Tiantai Mountain, that is, the Four Girls' Platform!" Lai Buyi pointed in one direction, but the distance was a bit far and he couldn't see clearly.

"But now that the water has increased so much, I don't know if these four women's platforms have been flooded!"

Cai Jing nodded. That place was the location of Xuanfang Palace in the Han Dynasty. It is also called the Water God Palace and Xuanwu Palace. According to historical records, in the third year of Yuanguang of Emperor Wu of Han, the Yellow River broke the Huzi Dike. This is what later generations called the Jin Dike, the Qin Dike or the Han Dike Liyang Jin, and the water flooded 16 counties.

"Records of the Grand Historian" Hequ Book: Emperor Wu of Han ordered Ji Ren and Guo Chang to send tens of thousands of soldiers to the Huzi to break the mouth, and he sank his beloved white horse and jade bi, and personally led his ministers to the Xuanfang Palace to command the blocking project.

In the second year of Heping of Emperor Cheng of Han, the river overflowed again. The prefect of Dongjun went to Xuanfang Palace to worship the river gods and asked to fill the golden dike with his own body.

Junxian and Huaxian County Magistrate built a subterranean palace in the four corners of Tiantai Mountain, burying the four daughters of the dragon and tiger zodiac signs that he sacrificed himself to worship the river. The water was Ping, so he left behind the common name of "Dragon and Tiger Dike" and "Four Girls' Platform". Since then, many thrilling stories have happened here, but they have nothing to do with this article, so I will not mention it anymore...

When Cai Jing thought of these thrilling history, his face became very ugly. Maybe this surge will be much more troublesome than he imagined. Now Cai Jing just hopes that Wen Fei can come back quickly...

But he didn't know at all that Wen Fei had the opposite sex and was still fighting with a beautiful woman. He even temporarily forgot that Cai Jing had so many people trapped on the Dali Mountain, and was in dire straits...

"Shi Buddha and the Four Girls' Platform echo each other to suppress the Yellow River Eyes here!" Lai Buyi said.

Cai Jing believed in Buddhism at the beginning, but Zhao Ji believed in Taoism. In order to be highly unified with his boss, Cai Jing abandoned his faith without hesitation and changed it to Taoism. So this guy recognized the Buddha statue at a glance. Although he didn't look like he was smiling, he was still an unyielding Maitreya Buddha.

(Although reading glasses have a degree, they are generally applicable. I have seen a common reading glasses in the old man's pavilion. Many times, old men and women go to read newspapers and so on. They all use the common reading glasses!)
