Rebirth of the Great Wilderness, I shall mention it

Chapter 45 Shennong Tastes Herbs

Three days passed quickly, and the succession ceremony was held as scheduled.

On the day of the succession ceremony, the Chendu Square was crowded with people, it was really lively.

Although none of the saints notified came, they also sent their disciples to congratulate them.Lao Tzu's sect is naturally the Great Master of Xuandu. In addition to the Twelve Golden Immortals, there is also a Taoist named Ran Deng under the original sect.This burning lamp is also an extraordinary person. He also went to listen to Hongjun in Zixiao Palace when he gave a lecture for the last time.After Yuan Yuan Tianzun was sanctified, he worshiped Yuan Yuan.Although Ran Deng is also a disciple of Yuan Tianzun, the Twelve Golden Immortals also call him a teacher. Ran Deng's identity is also very unique in the prehistoric.

There are many disciples under the Master Tongtian, but not many came this time.There are only two big disciples, Daoist Duobao and the Holy Mother of Jinling.Nuwa is the Holy Mother of the Human Race, and Fuxi was her elder brother in her previous life. It stands to reason that Nuwa should come.But when Nuwa thought about her current relationship with Fuxi, she thought that going by herself would only add to the sadness of the two of them.Therefore, Nuwa did not come, but sent her own mount, Jin Ling, to bring her blessings to Fuxi and the new co-lord of the human race.

As for Buddhism, because Buddhism is still developing in the West, its reputation is not very loud among the human race, and Fuxi did not send anyone to notify it.

As soon as the auspicious time arrived, with the sound of the ceremony official's shout, the succession ceremony officially began.

When Fuxi announced in front of everyone that Shennong would be the co-lord of the human race after him, they only heard a burst of fairy music 33 days away, and thousands of multicolored lotus flowers slowly floated down. The chariot descended from the sky and stopped beside Fuxi.

At this time, Master Xuandu, the first disciple of the Sanqing Taoism, took out a decree from his bosom, glanced at Fuxi, and read: "Bong Renjiao leader, Taiqing sage, Taishang Laojun's sacred metaphor: the co-lord of the human race, Fuxi, educates all peoples. , have contributed to the human race for thousands of years, and now the merits and virtues are complete, and he is specially named the emperor of the human race, and his residence is the Fire Cloud Cave 33 days away!"

Fuxi stepped forward to accept the decree, and said, "Thank you saint!" It turns out that after Fuxi regained his understanding of past and present lives, he knew that he was just a chess piece for Laozi to repay Nuwa's karma.In addition, my merits and virtues are perfect now, and my status doesn't need to be much lower than that of Lao Tzu, so naturally I don't call Lao Tzu a teacher anymore, Xuandu naturally knows the reason, and doesn't point it out, just smiled: "Please also invite the emperor to sit on the dragon chariot!"

At this time, another golden light of merit and virtue flew to Fuxi from outside the sky. Naturally, the heavens sensed Fuxi's great contribution to the human race and sent down merit and virtue as a reward.A very small part of the golden light of merit flew towards the Taishang Laojun of the Bajing Palace, but with Lao Tzu's current cultivation base and the great merit of Pan Gu, he naturally doesn't care about the amount of merit, what he cares about is that title.

After Shennong took over as the co-lord of the world, he governed the world with virtue and righteousness, always taking the people of the world as the foundation.He acts openly and aboveboard, impartial and selfless, and is loved by all people in the world.In the place he governs, the people are diligent without rewards, and the people are upright without punishment, and the people live in abundance and happiness.

Since the human race began to grow five grains extensively, many uneaten grains were destroyed due to poor preservation.Shennong also taught everyone to catch young animals and birds in the mountains, feed them with the inexhaustible grain, and kill them after they grow up.In this way, it can be said that two birds with one stone can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It not only makes use of the inexhaustible food, but also avoids the danger of the human race going to the mountains to hunt.Gradually, people discovered that the six animals such as pigs, cows, horses, sheep, dogs, and chickens were best kept, and they were collectively referred to as "six animals".

The emergence of five grains and six animals marked that human civilization has entered a new stage of agricultural development.

Under the governance of Shennong, the development of the human race has entered a new era, but new problems have also emerged one after another.

This year, the weather was abnormal, and there was no rain for a long time.Under the severe drought, the harvest of the human race was not good, and people often died of poisoning due to poisonous things eaten by the race.This situation made Shennong start to worry.

After thinking about it for a long time, Shennong still couldn't find a solution to this matter, so he had to go to his cheap teacher Laozi for help.

After hearing what Shennong said, Laozi said: "The root of the development of the human race is the food problem. Although you have promoted the farming and animal husbandry of the human race, you have not taught the human race the ability to recognize all things. Such things are naturally unavoidable. gone."

"Please also teach me how to recognize the law of all things, so that I can pass this law on to the human race, so that our human race will not make this mistake in the future." Shen Nong knelt down to Lao Tzu.

After hearing Shennong's words, Lao Tzu shook his head and said: "This poor way cannot be taught to you, and you still need to work hard on it yourself."

"Myself? My disciple is just a mortal. How can I fully understand everything in the world within a limited life?" Shen Nong asked in amazement.

"There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart!"

After taking out a tripod and a blue-black whip, Lao Tzu continued: "Although it is natural for human race to live, grow old, get sick and die, there is still a chance to extend the life of human race. I will teach you the art of alchemy today as a teacher. This tripod can be used for alchemy to cure Human race is difficult, and this whip can help you identify all things. As for everything, it depends on yourself in the end. Remember, as long as you work hard to do things in the world, difficult can also become easy. Go, go! "

After speaking, Lao Tzu handed the tripod and the whip to Shen Nong, and then he closed his eyes and wandered away.

After receiving the guidance of Lao Tzu, Shen Nong began to identify all things in the world in order to solve the difficulties of the human race.

But there are many kinds of things in the world. Although Shennong has the whip given by Lao Tzu, he still can't distinguish the attributes of each plant.

How can we know whether these plants are good or bad, what can cure diseases and what can harm people? Do we have to try one by one?Do you want to try one by one?Shennong asked himself in his heart.After a while, Shennong finally made up his mind, and he decided to try everything in the world himself.

After making up his mind, Shennong started an action that was unprecedented in the history of the human race.In order to taste all kinds of plants in the world, Shennong went to the deep mountains and forests.

Along the way, Shennong encountered powerful beasts, monsters that he had never seen before, and obstacles from mountains and floods. These still did not defeat his dream, so he walked in firmly.

Half a year later, Shennong came to a mountain thirty thousand miles away from Chendu.Looking at the various plants all over the mountain, Shen Nong smiled.

Shennong walked up to a small yellow flower and pulled it out with a strong tug.Shennong observed the little flower carefully, and then stuffed it into his mouth.After chewing a few times, a faint fragrance overflowed from Shennong's mouth.Then, Shennong swallowed the sweet flower in his mouth with great enjoyment.

"Ah!" Shen Nong cried out in pain.

It turned out that the little flower looked sweet when eaten, but it was actually very poisonous. As soon as Shen Nong swallowed it, he felt pain in his lower abdomen as if cut by a knife.Looking through his transparent crystal belly, a black energy is rapidly destroying the inside of his body.

Shen Nong knew that he was poisoned, and the poison was definitely not small, so he was very scared.Shennong was not afraid of death, he was unwilling to die like this, his career had just started, how could he just die like this?It doesn't matter if I die, but how to solve the current problem of the human race after I die.

While Shennong was writhing on the ground in pain, a Taoist descended from the sky beside Shennong, this Taoist Xuandu.

Why did this Xuandu appear here?It turned out that Lao Tzu had long thought that Shennong would suffer a catastrophe during the scene of tasting the herbs, so he had to keep an eye on his nominal apprentice at all times, lest Shennong be the emperor and die in a catastrophe instead.

After Xuandu descended to Shennong's side, he didn't dare to dawdle too much, he immediately helped Shennong up, and put his hands on Shennong's back.Xuandu carefully injected the pure mana in his body into Shennong's body with his own hands to help Shennong get rid of the poisonous gas in his body.

Although this little flower is highly poisonous, it is only relative to ordinary people like Shen Nong.With Xuandu's cultivation at its peak in the late stage of Da Luo Jinxian, getting rid of this kind of poison couldn't be easier.

In less than the time for a cup of tea, I saw traces of black air continuously emerging from the palms of Shennong's hands.It was the poisonous gas in Shennong's body that was driven by Xuandu's mana, and was expelled from the palm of his hand through Shennong's meridians.

It didn't take long for the poisonous gas in Shennong's body to be completely eliminated with the help of Xuandu, and Shennong's originally pale face began to recover a trace of blood.

"Thank you brother for your help, Shen Nong is very grateful!"

After Shennong woke up and saw Xuandu beside him, he naturally understood that it was Xuandu who saved him, so he quickly saluted and thanked him.

"You don't need me, I just came here at the order of the teacher, if you want to thank you, thank the teacher!" Xuandu said indifferently.

After hearing Xuandu's words, Shennong bowed in the direction of Shouyang Mountain and said, "My disciple, thank you for your life!"

"This is what the teacher asked me to bring to you. The tea in it is specially prepared for you by the teacher. The teacher said that in your future time, things like today will often happen. These teas have the effect of detoxification and are good for you. It will be very helpful in the future, so you have to keep it.”

After finishing speaking, Xuan You shot a burst of fresh air into Shennong's head.

"This is the practice method of Taiqing Dafa. The teacher said that with your mortal body, such a huge task is difficult to accomplish, so let me take him to pass down the method of practice. You should practice hard in the future, don't You have failed your teacher's expectations of you."

"Teacher is merciful, brother please thank the teacher for me!" Shen Nong said.

"Well, that's all for the teacher's explanation. I'm leaving too. You can take care of yourself!"

As soon as the words fell, Xuandu left on a cloud without waiting for Shennong to say anything.

With the tea leaves and the help of Chubian, Shennong's process of tasting all kinds of herbs became relatively easy.During the day, he tasted herbs on Mount Shennong. At night, he built a bonfire and recorded the characteristics of the tested species in detail by the light of the fire: which grasses were bitter, which ones were hot, which ones were cool, which ones could satisfy hunger, and which ones could heal diseases. Clearly.

It took Shennong ten years to taste all the species on this mountain.Relying on those tea leaves for ten years, Shennong has survived many life and death situations.However, although those tea leaves can detoxify, some strong poisons have to be eliminated slowly. Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs every day to understand their functions.Fortunately, after Shennong practiced the Taiqing Dafa that Xuandu passed on to him on behalf of Lao Tzu, he now has the cultivation base of the early golden immortal. Shen Nong used his own cultivation base to forcibly suppress these poisons, but this is not a long-term solution. Once an attack occurs, the Daluo Immortal will be hard to save.

The second one is delivered, let's count the votes!
