Dayu's Legacy

After Dayu controlled the floods, the water veins of Jiuzhou were registered, and the old gods of the four seas returned to their places. The world only knows that the "Shui Jing" records mountains and rivers, but they don't know that it is also a disaster relief book. After seven days of heavy rain in Nan'an County, a child's corpse emerged from the Heishui River. The child's corpse had red ropes wrapped around its feet and black mud was vomiting from its mouth. He opened his eyes and said only one sentence: "He Bo still has eight more to go." Shen Yan was originally the lowest-ranking water patrol official in the Capital Water Department. He kept track of tides, patrolled embankments, inspected sluices, and tested water. But when the "Shui Jing Fragments" left by his father came to life on a rainy night, he realized that the so-called floods were never just natural disasters. The river god demands his life, the Jingwei reclaims the sea, the barbarian Qi locks the Huai River, the shark weeps for pearls, there is no wind in the North Sea, and the four seas return to ruins. Every river and every sea hides the remnants of the old gods that Dayu never killed. Shen Yanzhi was involved in the traces of Yu, observing the water veins, determining the name of the monster, investigating disaster cases, and suppressing water evil spirits. He did not seek immortality or worship the old gods. He only wrote a water law on the first page of the fragment: Those who control water are not allowed to sacrifice humans.
