Chapter 352
On the small peak, Mr. Zhou raised a cup in his hand.
It was a wine cup as bright as moonlight, and the wine inside should have reflected the scorching sun and clouds in the sky.
But when Mr. Zhou raised the cup, it seemed as if a bright moon was rising within it.
Mr. Zhou said he would help Chen Xu once more.
And his so-called help was to raise the moonlight in the cup, so that at that moment, the entire sky displayed the magnificent scene of "sun and moon shining together"!
Unfortunately, only Mr. Zhou and the Ugly Monkey could witness this scene of sun and moon shining together.
At that same moment, all beings in the world, whether human, god, demon, or ghost, could not witness it.
They could not see the moonlight rising in Mr. Zhou's cup, and naturally could not see "sun and moon shining together".
Nor could they see the mysterious and mighty force enveloping the edge of the world after the "sun and moon shining together".
How vast the grand world is, yet now someone raises a cup to obscure the heavenly secrets.
If Mr. Zhou wished to convey the scene happening now to the world, it is feared that none would believe it, and all would be confused.
After all, whether they are humans or demons, all creatures with feelings find it extremely hard to imagine things beyond their comprehension.
This is the limitation of knowledge, truly unavoidable.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, on the Yuan Cang River.
The Treasure Map above Chen Xu's head finally released its golden light to the fullest.
A clear roar from Wen Daoyuan, reciting Chen Xu's article, "Plan for the Pacification of Locust Demons"!
He declared loudly to the world: "The greatest harm of locust demons lies in drought, and the root of great drought is the imbalance between water and drought.
Now, to reverse the imbalance and regulate water and soil, we can divert water from south to north.
Create canals, construct waterways, allowing the vast rivers of the Southern Border to flow into the Northern Border.
From this, there will be no floods in the Southern Border, no droughts in the Northern Border."
—— No floods in the Southern Border, no droughts in the Northern Border!
At that moment, Wen Daoyuan's voice was like the voice of heaven.
What a phrase, "No floods in the Southern Border, no droughts in the Northern Border," was as if spring thunder exploded, resounding through the firmament.
The entire Pingyang Prefecture heard this voice, and so did the neighboring Qinglin Prefecture, even the distant Pingjiang Prefecture heard it!
Even the Ugly Monkey on the small peak, upon hearing this, couldn't help but get goosebumps all over.
The Ugly Monkey exclaimed, "Oh my, so the so-called great merit of heaven is indeed diverting water from south to north? And the golden light on the map is about this 'Plan for the Pacification of Locust Demons'?"
Mr. Zhou did not speak, only stood with hands behind his back in front of the Water Mirror, continuing to watch.
He watched as Chen Xu handed the Treasure Map to Wen Daoyuan, and Wen Daoyuan raised the map, his body erupting with Vast Qi.
His grand voice continued to travel across the sky.
"The article 'Plan for the Pacification of Locust Demons', originally by Chen Xu, completed in the eleventh year of Yonghui, in the Celestial South Dao, was the essay for the provincial examination.
Upon the release of this essay, purple smoke arose, and the air charged towards the constellation Taurus.
Later, Chen Xu followed the old master across ten thousand miles, measuring the north and south in one night, completing this 'Map of North and South Mountains and Rivers'.
Now I rely on this map to open the canal, hoping the world will know.
Humans, gods, demons, ghosts, all sentient beings participate in this grand event, changing the heavens and earth, establishing the achievements of ages, ushering in eternal peace!"
As the voice fell, the floating Treasure Map suddenly leaped upwards.
Then Wen Daoyuan spat out a mouthful of Vast Qi.
The map suddenly expanded manifold, rapidly transforming into a wondrous object covering the sky and sun.
In Pingyang City, the people who were merely watching from a distance suddenly found themselves able to see the entirety of the celestial map up close at that moment.
It was an incredibly grand spectacle of mountains and rivers, with mighty rivers flowing, winding canals, crisscrossing water systems, and lush vegetation.
Common folk could never witness such a magnificent world in their lifetime.
For a moment, many even prostrated themselves on the ground, exclaiming, "Master! Immortal! What is being done? We worship, we worship…"
These were the frightened citizens.
Yet, there were those with a bit more insight, like the Scholar Yu Zhi and others.
Though they had not attained any fame or fortune, accomplished extraordinary feats, they had nonetheless read and understood, expanded their horizons, and at that moment, they too cried out in amazement:
"Opening canals with the Treasure Map? This, this... can a canal be so opened... can we also participate in such a grand event?
What should we do?
No, we must hurry down, to the side of the Yuan Cang River!"
This was Master Lü.
The old master suddenly seemed to have had his Ren and Du Meridians opened, no longer stiff in his old arms and legs, no longer trembling in body.
He shook off the support of his students, swiftly climbed down from the rooftop, then ran towards the direction of the Yuan Cang River.
Behind him, the students Yu Zhi and others, though strong and vigorous, despite calling out, could not catch up with him at all for a moment.
And the Ugly Monkey, looking through Mr. Zhou's Water Mirror, clearly saw that when the Treasure Map in the sky expanded to cover the entire Seven Prefectures of the South, the map descended.
The semi-transparent map was like a magnificent giant painting of mountains and rivers.
It suddenly descended from the sky, piercing through sunlight and clouds, and also through treetops and houses.
Amidst the exclamations of countless people, it even passed through all tangible beings.
Finally, it landed on the earth.
Then, the sound of the mountains and rivers trembling was heard.
Crash, crash—
In Pingyang City, many citizens panicked again.
But they could only hear the crash coming from afar, yet in reality, they could not see what was happening.
But through the Water Mirror observing everything, the Ugly Monkey could see:
It saw the map land, and a wide canal was suddenly opened and extended at the Yuan Cang River.
Rumble!
The earth shook, soil flying to both sides.
