Shennong succeeded to the throne of the human race, and the human race also became the era of the Earth Emperor!
Not long after he ascended the throne, Shen Nong began to publicize the method of planting five grains. He asked all the humans to plant five grains to ensure that the human race would not starve!
Facing tribes that did not know how to grow grains, Shen Nong did not hesitate to lower himself and specially went to those tribes to teach them how to grow grains and how to irrigate them!
With the rapid spread of Shennong's grains, the quality of life of the entire human race had also improved greatly.
However, joy was often accompanied by sorrow. Soon, the human race's life did not last long before new problems appeared.
One day, when Shen Nong went to a tribe to survey the people, he suddenly heard a few clansmen talking.
One of the clansmen cried out,"My poor child! He just ate a grass that was very similar to the five grains and died! Because of this, his mother cried until her eyes went blind!”
" As for my nephew, he was originally seriously ill and was on the verge of death. However, he accidentally ate a grass and his illness was completely cured. When the others saw this, they all followed suit, but in the end, sigh!”
......
Hearing the clansman's cries, Shen Nong really wanted to go over and comfort him, but he didn't know how to say it. Shen Nong's mind was filled with thoughts!
In this era, grains and weeds grew together, and herbs and flowers bloomed together. No one could tell which grains could be eaten and which herbs could cure diseases.
If anyone got a sore or illness, there would be no doctor or medicine. Even if they survived, they would lose a layer of skin even if they didn't die!
Shen Nong saw the sufferings of his clansmen and felt pain in his heart.
How could he let his clansmen distinguish between food and herbs?
Shennong thought hard for three days and three nights and finally came up with a solution.
On the fourth day, Shen Nong led a group of subjects and set off from Chen Du's Suizhou, Li Mountain, towards the northwest mountain.
Time passed slowly. Gradually, the legs of Shen Nong and the others swelled up, and calluses appeared on their feet.
But even so, Shennong and the others still kept walking!
After walking for 49 days, Shen Nong and the others came to a place and stopped.
He saw that there were high mountains and valleys here. The mountains were covered with strange flowers and herbs, and he could smell their fragrance from afar.
Seeing this scene, Shen Nong was overjoyed. Just as Shen Nong and the others were about to continue investigating the environment, a group of wolves, insects, tigers, and leopards suddenly rushed out of the canyon and surrounded Shen Nong and the others.
Looking at the countless wolves, insects, tigers, and leopards in front of him, Shennong immediately ordered his subjects to wave their whips and hit the wild beasts.
Soon, the wild beasts were all chased away. However, after chasing away this batch, another batch immediately rushed over. After fighting for seven days and seven nights, Shen Nong and the others finally chased away all the wild beasts.
As for those tigers, leopards, and pythons, the scars left behind by the whips had turned into stripes on their skin.
The tigers and leopards were finally driven away. Shen Nong was just about to rest for a while when the subjects rushed up again, saying that this place was too dangerous and advised Shen Nong to go back.
Hearing what his subjects said, Shen Nong shook his head and said,""I can't go back! If I can't solve the problem of food and illness for my clansmen, how can I, Shennong, face my clansmen?”
With that, Shen Nong led the way into the canyon and arrived at the foot of a vast mountain.
Half of the mountain was stuck in the clouds, and there were knife-cut cliffs on all sides. There was a waterfall hanging on the cliff, and moss grew on it. It was smooth and smooth, making one feel fear at a glance!
The subjects advised Shennong to forget it and go back as soon as possible.
Shen Nong shook his head." I can't go back. If I can't solve the problem of food and illness for my clansmen, how can I, Shen Nong, face my clansmen?!"”
As he spoke, Shen Nong stood on a small stone mountain, facing the tall mountain. He looked up, down, left, and right, thinking of a solution.
After thinking for a long time, Shen Nong finally thought of a solution. Shen Nong saw a few golden monkeys crawling over along the ancient vines hanging high in the sky and the rotten wood lying on the cliff waist, so he decided to imitate them.
Shennong called his subjects over and told them to chop wooden poles and vines to build a shelf against the cliff. They built one layer a day, from spring to summer, from autumn to winter, regardless of the wind, rain, snow, or ice. They never stopped working. It took a whole year to reach the top of the mountain after building three hundred and sixty floors.
Shennong led his subjects to climb the wooden shelves and reach the top of the mountain. When Shennong and the others reached the top, they were all stunned by the scene in front of them!
On the top of the mountain, a world of flowers and plants appeared. Red, green, white, yellow, all kinds of flowers and plants were densely packed together.
The excited Shennong instructed his subjects to guard against wolves, insects, tigers, and leopards, while he personally picked the flowers and plants and put them into his mouth to taste.
In order to taste the herbs and distinguish the food for the people, Shen Nong had his subjects plant a few rows of firs on the mountain as a city wall to prevent wild beasts. Not only that, Shen Nong also had people build a few thatched huts inside the wall for the people to live in.
During the day, Shen Nong would lead his subjects to the mountains to taste the herbs. At night, he would ask his subjects to start a bonfire. Under the light of the bonfire, Shen Nong would record everything he learned during the day in detail. Which grass was bitter, which was hot, which was cold, which could fill hunger, which could cure illness, it was all written clearly.
……
Because of his concern for the human race, Shen Nong was willing to eat all kinds of herbs. Once, Shen Nong was gathering herbs in the deep mountains and forests, but he was surrounded by a group of poisonous snakes.
The poisonous snakes pounced at Shen Nong together. Some wrapped around his waist, some wrapped around his legs, and some wrapped around his neck, wanting to kill Shen Nong.
Shen Nong was outnumbered and eventually fell to the ground, bleeding and swollen.
Just as Shen Nong was on the verge of death and was about to faint, Shen Nong endured the pain and shouted,"Master, save me!"”
After shouting this, Shen Nong fainted!
At this time, Xuandu was cultivating in the deep mountains of the Jiangshui tribe. As he felt Shennong's cry for help, he sent Qingniao to save him!
Taiqing Laozi was an alchemy fanatic. It was normal for him to have these antidotes. The green bird held a life-saving and detoxifying elixir in its mouth as it circled in the sky. Finally, it found Shennong in a forest.
When the poisonous snakes saw the green bird descending from the sky, they instinctively fled in fear.
Ignoring the snakes that had escaped, the green bird fed the immortal pill to the Divine Farmer. After that, the Divine Farmer gradually woke up from his coma.
After the green bird completed its mission, it flew back on the clouds. Shennong was extremely grateful and thanked Qingniao loudly. Who knew that the moment he opened his mouth, the immortal pill fell to the ground and immediately took root and sprouted a grass. A red pearl grew on the top of the grass.
Shen Nong looked at it carefully. It was exactly the same as the immortal pill. He put it into his mouth and tasted it. The remaining pain on his body disappeared. He happily said to himself," There is a prescription for treating poisonous snake bites!"”
Therefore, he named this herb "A Pearl on the Head".
In addition, this herb had another rather resounding name," Trillium ".
After resting for another half a minute, Shen Nong knew that he could not relax, so he continued to eat and taste the grass, trying to distinguish the properties of all the grass.
"Gongzhu, please don't continue. If you continue like this, I'm afraid your body won't be able to take it!”
"Yeah, we've already understood the effects of hundreds of herbs in these few days. That's enough, let's leave this place!”
"Please listen to our advice and leave this place. Don't continue to taste it!”
Seeing Shen Nong eating the flowers and plants day after day, the ministers of the human race could not bear it and hoped that Shen Nong would stop and leave this place!
In their opinion, the hundred herbs that they had learned were enough for the human race to live on. There was no need to continue. However, Shen Nong did not listen to their advice at all. He would only leave after tasting all the herbs!
Faced with Shen Nong's insistence, the ministers were helpless. If Shen Nong did not leave, they could not force him to leave.
Therefore, the ministers could only continue to accompany Shennong to taste the flowers and plants to understand its fundamental effects!
On this day, Shen Nong suddenly discovered a vine-like plant climbing up a tree. This plant had small yellow flowers, and its leaves could open and shrink. It was extremely strange!
With curiosity in his heart, Shennong picked some leaves and chewed them in his mouth.
Who knew that this was a kind of medicinal herb that was extremely toxic. As soon as Shennong finished eating it, his intestines seemed to be broken into sections, and it was extremely painful!
This herb was not famous today, but in the future, its name was very resounding.
Heartbreak Grass!
A highly toxic herb that would kill anyone who ate it!
Just like that, Shen Nong passed out because he accidentally ate the Gut Severing Grass.
Before he lost consciousness, a thought emerged in his mind." I didn't expect that I, Shen Nong, would die just like that. I haven't exhausted all the herbs. I, Shen Nong, have let down the human race, and I have let down Master. Shen Nong is unwilling!”
With a roar, Shen Nong's head tilted to the side and he fainted!
The moment Shennong fell unconscious, Xuandu, who was living in seclusion in Jiangshui, suddenly opened his eyes!
To be able to do so much for the development of the human race, not hesitating to sacrifice himself, Shen Nong's spirit made Xuandu very impressed.
Thinking of this, Xuandu no longer hesitated and immediately went to the place where Shennong was unconscious.
Xuandu took out the Detoxification Golden Pill and fed it to Shennong.
In just a moment, Shen Nong woke up!
Looking at Xuandu in front of him, Shen Nong was stunned for a moment. Then, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed."Thank you, Master, for saving my life. Shennong has troubled Master!”
"Alright, get up. You are my disciple, so I naturally won't sit idly by. However, Shennong, do you think everything you are doing now is worth it? The Untainted Land was vast and boundless, and there were countless flowers and trees in it. If you continued like this, who knows when you would be able to taste all the flowers and plants. Therefore, you should give up! At least you can guarantee your own safety after giving up.”Xuandu looked at Shennong and suggested!
Hearing Xuandu's words, Shen Nong's expression changed and he replied,"" Master's words are reasonable, but it doesn't suit Shennong. As the ruler of the Human Tribe, Shennong enjoys the Luck of the Human Tribe. Naturally, it's not worth mentioning. As for when he can finish tasting the countless flowers and plants, as long as Shennong is alive, he will never stop. Master, today, Shennong makes an oath that if he can't solve the problem of the Human Tribe's medicine, Shennong will never achieve Dao!”
Seeing Shen Nong's serious expression, Xuandu nodded and said,"" Well, it's a great honor for the Human Tribe and your Master to have such a thought. This item is called the Ochre Whip, a treasure I specially asked your Master for. It was made from the corpse of a Giant Beast in the Untainted Land. You can tell whether it's poisonous or not, cold or warm by gently beating the plants. Now, I'll give it to you!”
"Thank you, Master!" After hearing Xuandu's words, Shen Nong was overjoyed. He immediately walked forward and took the brown whip, carefully observing it!
With the help of the ochre whip, it would be much easier to taste all kinds of herbs in the future. There was naturally no reason for Shen Nong to be unhappy!
"Alright, it's about time. It's time for me to leave. As for you, it's time for you to continue completing your great cause.”As soon as he finished speaking, Xuandu's figure flashed and disappeared from where he was!
Seeing Xuandu leave, Shennong bowed a few more times before standing up to continue tasting the herbs!
The appearance of Xuandu had encouraged Shennong to taste all kinds of herbs. Ever since Xuandu had left, Shennong had never neglected him.
Instead, after tasting the flowers and plants on one mountain, he would go to another mountain to taste them. As for the method of moving, he would still use the wooden pole to build a frame and climb up.
After tasting for 49 days and trekking through the mountains and ridges, Shen Nong tasted a total of 365 herbs. Not only that, Shen Nong even drew these herbs into a book called Shen Nong's Herbal Classic!
