Peng Keng's troops sent manpower and material resources to recruit civilians and provide food, livestock, and vehicles to fully support and cooperate with Bo Yu in flood control. This matter is not beneficial to them at the moment. Bo Yu could not let Peng Keng's troops suffer. His plan was the same as when he was in Xiangliu's tribe, recruiting leaders of various tribes in Huaize area to discuss matters, and first point out what benefits and gains will be after the successful flood control.

After the Huaize River receded, many places will be transformed into fertile plains on both sides of the Huai River and between the Huanghuai River. The tribes can divide their future benefits based on their original territory according to their own efforts to control the water. If the Huai River is successfully managed, it will be equivalent to the Central Plains extending naturally to the south and connecting them to the river basin into areas.

This area is different from the Dajiang River Basin. In the past, it was densely populated and there were many branches and tribes. The territory was relatively large, but it took a long time to develop and had relatively rich products, so it was more affected by floods. The territory of many small tribes has been completely submerged and had to move to the territories of other tribes for temporary support.

In this disaster that lasted more than ten years, due to various losses, the total population of each ministries has been decreasing continuously. Now it is less than two-thirds of its heyday, and the existing land available for housing is only half compared to that year. If Bo Yu's flood control plan is followed, there will be a large area of ​​new fertile land on both sides of the Huai River and between the rivers and Huai Rivers in the future, which can help people rebuild a better home.

However, the results of the negotiation were not complete, and it was even worse than those of Bo Yu's convening leaders of various tribes in Xiangliu tribes to discuss. The reasons are very complicated.

First of all, some small and medium-sized tribes have disappeared. They have almost completely merged with other tribes during the migration process, or they have taken the opportunity to annex. When Bo Yu mentioned that the people who had originally lived in areas flooded with floods could return to their homes in the future, the kings who had annexed the population of other tribes will certainly not give up the interests they had obtained and allow the new tribes to leave.

The floods have been raging for a long time, and many situations have changed. Bo Yu had to order Bo Yi to recount the local tribes, because many of the tribes in the past have now died in name only, and even in the mountains and wild areas, there are many refugees who have left their tribes. Mi Lian helped a lot, and he is more familiar with the situation around Peng Keng's tribe.

Bo Yu slightly revised the plan. Based on the existing local tribes, whoever contributes more to water control will get more benefits in the future, but the response was not enthusiastic. The trick that was once very useful in the Dajiang River Basin was not very easy to use here.

Bo Yu asked everyone to use their future long-term interests to exchange for today's contributions. Many of the tribe leaders here seem very "smart" and they are not willing to take the initiative to receive too much responsibility.

If Bo Yu failed to control the flood, no matter how much they did, it would be useless. If Bo Yu successfully controlled the flood, the Huai Ze would be relegated to fertile land, and some benefits could be taken, and the stronger the tribe, the more they could occupy. In fact, the more important reason is that everyone does not believe that Bo Yu could really fulfill his promise and transform the Huai River area into a look displayed on the sand table in front of him.

Of course, Bo Yu cannot. They have to do it themselves, and this is exactly the problem.

In fact, the various departments in the Dajiang Basin also questioned whether Bo Yu could successfully control the flood. However, there is a prerequisite for controlling the water of the Dajiang River, which is to split the Wuyun Mountains and divert the flood to flow downward, and use the flood to silt to create a large area of ​​fertile fields. Bo Yu had an agreement with each department in advance that he would handle this matter first, and each department would act according to his water control strategy, and he did it.

In theory, controlling the Huai River is not as difficult as governing the river. First of all, there is no need to deal with such an unimaginable thing as splitting Wuyun Mountain. The situation is more complicated and requires the cooperation of many scattered forces. It is not enough to do their own things like the Dajiang River Basin. Perhaps it is because of the deterrent effect of splitting Wuyun Mountain in the Dajiang River Basin, so the tribes seem to not believe that Bo Yu will succeed.

Yushan, the place where Chongbogu died, was actually not far east of Huaize. The local tribes were very familiar with Chongbogu. Even those who could not even be able to do it, the tribes obviously would not easily believe that the younger Boyu could do it. However, due to Chongbogu's relationship, everyone here respected Boyu.

Almost half of the leaders of the tribes convened by Bo Yu were unwilling to take the initiative to receive tasks, or the tasks they wanted to receive were far from meeting Bo Yu's plan requirements. How can this water be cured? There are also many tribes present willing to support Bo Yu, and some people simply said that this was to repay Bo's kindness, and the implication was that they did not expect to succeed in controlling the water.

It is precisely because of the support from these people that even if the leaders of other tribes do not support Bo Yu in their hearts, they will not publicly oppose it. The discussion will not disband unhappily, but the water control plan will still not be implemented as planned.

After everyone dispersed, Xiao Xiezhi Shancha said: "Today, there were fifty-six leaders of all sizes or their representatives, and there were eleven Chinese Bojun, which was really lively. Most of them were not against water control, but were suspicious.

As the suffering has lasted for a long time, people's livelihood has declined to this day. If you still have no effect on water control like Master Chongbo, then they will not be able to live in the future! It is better to seek peace in the place where they live and slowly recover their vitality in the future. The current situation in Huaize is already like this and will not be worse. Let it go there. This is what many people think.

There are also several tribes who originally lived in a good place and were not seriously affected by floods. They were originally short of more people to cultivate them. They took the opportunity to absorb the migrated tribes, but they didn't care whether you can control the flood.

What’s more special is that before the Hongmeng Ministry, Shangzhang Ministry, Douhu Ministry, and Lilou Ministry Bojun each sent only one clan elder. The words of those clan elders represent Bojun's meaning and are unwilling to take the initiative to cooperate with you. However, they themselves do not agree with Bojun's decision and are secretly dissatisfied, but they are also afraid of water control, fearing that it will cause disasters again."

Bo Yu frowned and said, "It's so strange to react like this! The four Bojuns don't want to come to see me in person, but they are just representatives of one clan elder. The clan elders they sent were both dissatisfied with Bojun's decision and were worried about controlling the water. What's going on?

Shancha explained: "They are afraid that this will anger the Huai God. If you fail to control the flood, you may have left like this, but their tribe is here and will have to bear the wrath of the Huai God.

However, those clan elders were also dissatisfied with the act of sacrificing the lives of the clan and serving the Huai God. They were both dissatisfied and helpless, and dared not speak out because they were also afraid of the Huai God and were in a complicated mood... I have only seen so much, but I don't know where the Huai God came from, because those clan elders themselves don't know."

Before Bo Yu could speak, Wu Zhi appeared and said, "It's not bad, you can observe. There are some situations, you know more than me!"

Shancha said modestly: "How dare you compare with sir? These are not what I know, they are just hearing them."

Wu Zhi: "First you can see and hear, then you can remember and think, which is what people know. In fact, I have long seen the thoughts of the leaders of various tribes today. The so-called Huai God should be a demon of the water race, and of course there are ones in Huai Ze.

The water floods the Chengze, and the rivers and Huaihe Rivers are connected. The great demons of the aquatic race are likely to take the opportunity to make trouble and force the people to worship. The various tribes in the world have been unable to take care of themselves over the years, so who can take care of the Huaize..."

Ao Guang interrupted him and said, "As the best immortal, the demon cultivators of the aquatic race are not as unbearable as you said!"

Wu Zhi waved his hand and said, "I'm not talking about you! But then again, you didn't have the chance to make trouble back then, and as soon as you showed up, you were conquered by Chi Wangqiu. If there was another situation, if you encounter such a big flood and the East China Sea flooded, you wouldn't have to take the opportunity to jump into the sky!

I have heard of the past of the ancient Kuilong in Bayuan. If it weren't for the different opportunities, how could you guarantee that you were not another Kuilong who was causing trouble..."

Bo Yu stood up and said, "Sir, don't talk about Ao Guang, just talk about the monsters in Huai Ze in front of you. I wonder how much do you know?"

Wu Zhi: "There must be some aquatic monsters in Huaize. Maybe there are powerful monsters gathered and ordered the water monsters. Even if there weren't in the past, they should have them today. If there is a disaster in the country, there will be monsters, let alone the disaster today is such a flood. But I don't know the specific reason. Although the people around me have discussed a lot and feared the evil spirits in the water, they are not very clear about the details."

Bo Yu: "Can I ask Mr. Wu Zhi, please help me to find out if there are monsters in Huaize, what kind of water monsters are there, and then find out what the surrounding tribes have and the water monsters are. What has happened over the years?"

Wu Zhi pondered: "I am following your order from Emperor Xuanyuan Tian and follow you to supervise how you find the Xuanzhu, but I didn't say I have to recite it!"

Bo Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Then please ask Mr. Wu Zhi to find out whether the Xuanzhu was left in Huaize, whether it was obtained from the monsters here, and whether the people of the surrounding tribes knew about the relevant situation? If you find anything else, please thank you for your advice."

Wu Zhi: "That's right? Then I should go there!... Shancha, Shanzha, you guys go with me too."

Since he has become a true immortal and ascended to the fairy world to live in peace, if he is not in a position to be restrained, many immortals are not willing to take the initiative to interfere in the affairs of the world again. Wu Zhi was sent by Emperor Xuanyuan Tian to the lower realm in the name of seeking Xuanzhu, so he followed Bo Yu, but he is not a subordinate of Bo Yu. Although he talks a lot along the way, he has never taken the initiative to interfere in anything.

Bo Yu asked him to investigate the situation, but he was a little reluctant to find it, but Wu Zhi also recognized it and brought two auspicious beasts to help. Because Xie Zhi and Zhu Jian were there, Wu Zhi's habits have changed slightly now. The immortal was not in a hurry to say anything. He often waited for the two auspicious beasts to introduce what they had discovered, and Wu Zhi made another high-profile discussion.

When Shanzha left, he muttered: "There are more than fifty tribes of all sizes, and there are more than a dozen Chinese Bojuns. I don't believe that there are no masters in the clan to be in charge. I will be afraid of evil spirits in the water, and I am afraid of being like this! Lord Bo Yu summoned them to discuss the matter, but no one dared to publicly say this and discuss how to kill the evil spirits. I will investigate, and if I find the evil spirits, I will catch them!"

When discussing today, some people were secretly worried that flood control would anger the "Huai God", and were dissatisfied with the fact that your servant served the Huai God. Since Xie Zhi found out, there would be no mistake, but the specific situation was not clear. However, when Mi Lian introduced the situation in the Huai Ze area to Bo Yu, he did not mention this matter!

The so-called Huai God has actually existed and did not exist since ancient times, or it is a conventional default concept. How to understand this? A more typical example is the God of Shui.

In the places where the tribes lived in ancient times, there were mountain gods and water gods. The worship of natural gods was an ancient and primitive custom. This does not mean that there must be mountain gods in the mountains, and there must be water depths in the water. Or that what people worship and awe at first was not necessarily a specific god, but the "symbol" of the mountains and water itself, and the nature they unknown to them.

The worship of natural gods is one of the symbols of the birth of human civilization, symbolizing the process of starting spiritual wisdom from chaos to purity. Mountains and beasts will not have such observation and thinking. This is a very serious and important thing. Later generations do not need to mock the ignorance of the ancients. If it were not for the ancients, they would not have the wisdom of later generations.

From this we can see that the so-called gods were first created by human beings. However, after the primitive worship of natural gods appeared with the emergence of sacrificial activities, a concrete personality image gradually replaced the abstract concept of natural gods, and then evolved into later gods, and then someone might play the role of these gods.

Experts like Huwa who are proficient in the mysterious principles of Pure Yang Arts know that pious worship of natural gods will even lead to birth, conceiving spiritual objects or spiritualities that do not exist, and some people can practice this way. For example, Qingshui was once a mountain god in the northern desert of Bayuan, and Taiyi was a sacred tree worshipped by local tribes. Most of the time, the priests used the concepts created by people and claimed to be executing the will of God.

When Emperor Zhuanxu issued the order of "Jidi Tian Tong" not only to unify the sacrificial rituals, but more importantly to rectify this chaos and make "the ghosts are not gods". However, the order of "Jidi Tian Tong" did not interfere with the customs of various departments. For example, on both sides of the river, many villagers in the village would sacrifice to the god of river and put the sacrifices into the water on a special altar.

Jingli didn't know when this custom started. Anyway, before it opened its wisdom, it was still a small water monster, and it often sneaked into the water under the altar to eat the sacrifices. Later he realized that people were worshiping the God of Shui, and it was the demon cultivator who lived in the water, but he had never seen any God of Shui.

In fact, those people on the shore have never seen the God of Water, and they cannot even be sure whether the God of Water exists or what kind of existence it is. The God of Water sacrifice is just a traditional custom, representing some kind of beautiful beliefs and expectations. If there is a God of Water, people hope to be protected by this move.

It took a long time for the storm to figure out what the God of Shui was, so he had a wish - maybe he could become the legendary God of Shui? Anyway, most of the sacrifices in the villages on both sides of the Taiwan Strait were fed to him in recent years.

Later, the fairy boy Ju Mang finally gave Yanli a chance to lead the flood peak through. People on both sides of the Taiwan Strait saw the golden carp surging towards their heads, and they all thought that Yanshui God. So from this day onwards, many people were telling each other again - Oh, it turns out that there is Yanshui God, it looks like that! The abstract god finally corresponds to the concrete existence...

Almost all the main rivers where people live, there are so-called water gods, which depends on what form they exist. Since ancient times, there are certainly "Huai Gods" in the Huai River, and people from all surrounding tribes will also worship Huai Gods.

People's lives cannot be separated from sufficient and convenient water sources, but on the other hand, floods are the most common and terrible disasters in people's impressions. Faced with the so-called water god, they are both expecting and afraid. Regardless of whether the real Huai God exists or not, the current flood will make many people here hate Huai God and pay more attention to worshiping Huai God.

Some clan elders were worried that flood control would anger the Huai God, and there were four Bojuns who did not come to see Boyu because of this. Boyu felt that this was a bit unusual. Wu Zhi was knowledgeable and immediately asserted that it was a water monster who was responsible for the flood and threatened the people. That is to say, there was really a water monster in Huaize who called himself the Huai God and was really regarded as the Huai God by some tribes around him.

Bo Yu not only knew the "God of the Water" of Yanli, but also inherited Chongbogu's knowledge of life and was also a disciple of Mr. Cangjie. How could he not understand these principles? It was far more profound than that of ordinary people.

The concept of gods appears with people's own needs and wishes, but when it corresponds to concrete existence and becomes a "god", the problem becomes very complicated. If the behavior of a certain "god" deviates from people's original intention of creating gods and even becomes an obstacle to survival and development, then the "god" itself or the sacrificial system that promotes it is unnecessary.

Not only does the world exist because of human beings, but the "God" should be like this, because it is "created" by human beings.

Bo Yu was not worried about some monsters. What could the most powerful monsters do? The group of people in the Southern Wilderness were killed by Lord Bo Yi! But this matter was linked to the Huai God worshipped by the people of various departments. If you don’t understand the inside story and do not handle it carefully, it may be very troublesome, and it may even cause civil rebellion. Bo Yu will inevitably think too much.

Mi Lian shouldn't have deliberately concealed it from him. Since he did not mention the matter of Huai God, he either really didn't know it or took it seriously. Even if Mi Lian heard some rumors, he thought it was just a custom since ancient times, but it was just a word of mouth, which became a bit exaggerated. Chongbogu didn't know about this back then, which was a bit strange.

Either the Huai God does not exist at all, it was made up by some people, or it has ulterior motives to control the people. Or this monster is so powerful that it can use the flood to lurk in operation. Once it becomes a climate, it will be very difficult to deal with. Bo Yu summoned the people of various ministries to discuss the matter of flood control, but those who are familiar with the matter dare not say it publicly. This is probably a big problem...

Bo Yu finally found an opportunity to support Wu Zhi away, but he felt depressed in this rare tranquility.

That night, Bo Yu was still worried and climbed a mountain next to the camp alone. The top of the mountain was less than two hundred feet high, but it was already a big hill in this generation. Looking at its situation and surrounding hills and river directions, if the so-called Feng Shui masters in the future, it can be called a place where the dragons gather in the earth's veins.

Of course, Bo Yu was not here to enjoy it. He climbed up to a high place and looked at Huai Ze from afar. His mind was thinking about water control. Water control was not only about water control, but also about quelling evil and leading and educating all peoples.

If anyone fails to control the flood, he will be punished, but he cannot punish so many people. After all, the flood control is not Bo Yu's own business, but everyone's own business here. After looking into Huaize for a long time, Bo Yu sat down again, looked up at the stars in the sky to relax his heart, and couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, a slim girl Shi Shi walked up from the mountainside, holding a wooden utensil with a handle, which looked like a bucket, a box and a box. The handle had a lid and beautiful lacquer patterns.

Bo Yu lives in the territory of the Tushan tribe, the largest tribe in the local area. It seems very casual, but the surrounding defenses are also very tight. Not only are there guards from the Tushan tribe, but also Bingchi and Dingchi are alerted. The girl actually came to Bo Yu silently, but Bo Yu seemed to be unaware of it.

"Master Bo Yu, why are you sighing to the night alone? Is it because of the unsuccessful discussion on water control, or because of the unknown situation of Huaize? I heard your sigh, the little woman is very moved, so I come here to pay tribute to you at night, please forgive me!"
