Chapter 21 Emperor Shennong
Time flies, after the preaching of Fuxi, it is tens of thousands of years that have passed, on the shore of Jiang Shui, there is a large human tribe - Jiang tribe, on this day, the chief of the Jiang tribe has been pregnant for twelve years and gave birth to a baby boy, named Lieshan, born to be able to do and speak, the clan is very strange, acting gossip and calculation, but do not know the bad luck, at this time a person descended from the sky, fell in front of the Lie Mountain, at this time the cultivation of immortals is prevalent, the Taoist people who fly away from the sky are not common, but they often hear of it, so although everyone is curious, but not surprised.

"Poor Dao is the abbot of the mountain, and the Dao Jun Yu Lingzi is also." The man said after landing on the ground.
"I have seen the three venerables" The people led by the patriarch are all high-level tribal leaders, and they often worship the holy master and the three respects, and as soon as they heard that Yu Lingzi reported to his home, everyone bowed down one after another.
"Everyone, this son has a relationship with my abbot mountain, and the family teacher wants to accept him as a disciple, but the family teacher is busy with affairs, so he specially ordered to come to accept the apprentice on behalf of the teacher and teach this son. Would you like to? Yu Lingzi pointed to the Burning Mountain and said to everyone.
"Yes, Yes, Holy Master, Thank You Third Venerable." The patriarch agreed and said he was willing.
"Would you like to?" But it was Yu Lingzi who squatted down, looked at Lieshan and asked with a smile.
"After apprenticeship, can you fly in the sky like you?" Although he was born to speak, after all, he was a child, Lieshan asked.
"Haha, of course you can," Yu Ling laughed.
"Then I'm willing, meet the teacher." Lieshan also bowed down as everyone did.
"Hahaha, Poor Dao is not your teacher, Poor Dao is your senior brother. You go in this direction and bow to the teacher. Yu Lingzi waved his sleeves to stop Lieshan from bowing down, and pointed in the direction of Abbot Mountain and said. After apprenticeship in Lieshan, Yu Lingzi opened a cave near the Jiang tribe and took Lieshan to practice. Nine years later, Lieshan went down the mountain and returned to the Jiang tribe, Lieshan learned to deal with tribal affairs, and he was also very attentive, and he was soon able to handle tribal affairs in an orderly manner. A few years later, Lieshan took over as the chief of the Jiang tribe.
At this time, tens of thousands of years after the collapse of the Lich Tribulation, the aura was relatively thin, and the normal lifespan of the human race was also decreasing, and the lifespan of people at the time of the emperor was still about two hundred, and it was less than one hundred at this time. It is inevitable that the elderly will get sick, and young people will inevitably get injured when they go out hunting and gathering food. At this time, the tribe did not have extra food to support those who had not been able to hunt and gather for a long time, so if they could not get well quickly after being sick or injured, they would often be abandoned by the tribe, and eventually they would inevitably become violent corpses in the wilderness. On this day, Lieshan was quite worried about this matter, and Lieshan suddenly thought that "people feed on wild beasts, fish, and wild fruits, and wild beasts mostly feed on plants and trees (carnivores are more ferocious and can rarely be hunted), why not plant some wild fruits and plants, which are convenient and safe to collect, and the amount is sufficient." As soon as he thought of it, Lieshan planted the collected seeds into the ground, and as a result, some seeds could not grow at all, some could grow but did not bear fruit, some could bear fruit but were astringent and bitter and could not be eaten, and some edible seeds were too small to yield. After 12 years, Lieshan finally selected five kinds of food that can be eaten, have a large yield and a short planting cycle, and studied the planting method of slash-and-burn cultivation, as well as the best planting time. These five foods are commonly known as "five grains", namely hemp, millet, millet, wheat and beans. Slash-and-burn farming is to burn the remaining grass from plant straw and branches to burn it into ashes as fertilizer, dig pits on the spot and plant seeds. In order to study the best planting time, that is, Lieshan studied the astronomical calendar, and on the basis of the Fuxi calendar, the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter and the 24 solar terms were created.
The first day in the Fuxi calendar, the solstice of the cathode, the beginning of the yang energy, the south solstice, the shortest day, the longest shadow of the day (the coldest day, the least yang energy this day and more and more from this day, the sun to the southernmost point that can reach, the shortest day, the longest shadow), Lieshan named this day the winter solstice, solstice and also, with this day as the center of the forward and backward forty-five days, a total of 90 days. For winter, the winter is divided into six solar terms, namely the beginning of winter, light snow, heavy snow, winter solstice, small cold, and big cold, and there are fifteen days between each two solar terms.
About 90 days after the winter solstice, the yin and yang are half, the day and night are even, and the cold and heat are even, so the name of the mountain is called the spring equinox, and this day is the center to push forward and backward for 45 days, a total of 90 days. It is spring, and spring is also divided into six solar terms, namely the beginning of spring, rain, stunning, equinox, Qingming, and valley rain.
About the ninetieth day after the vernal equinox, the north solstice, the solstice of the long day, the short solstice of the sun, and the solstice of the sun and the solstice, so the mountain is named the summer solstice, and the day is the center of the forty-five days each forward, a total of ninety days. For summer, summer is also divided into six solar terms, namely the beginning of summer, Xiaoman, mangzhong, summer solstice, small summer, and great heat.
About 90 days after the summer solstice, the yin and yang are half, the day and night are even, and the cold and heat are even, so the name of the mountain is called the autumn equinox, and the day is the center to push forward and backward 45 days, a total of 90 days. It is autumn, and autumn is also divided into six solar terms, namely the beginning of autumn, the summer heat, the white dew, the autumn equinox, the cold dew, and the frost.
Lieshan told the tribesmen that the early crops (such as wheat) before and after the planting of mango seeds are ripe and can be harvested, and they are about to start planting late crops (millet, millet, rice, hemp); After the summer, the late crops are ripe and ready to be harvested, and the early crops of the previous year are to be planted before the white dew; In the coming year, the valley rain prayed for a good harvest of nectar from the sky, and after the valley rain, the land that was not planted in Bailu could start planting crops such as early rice; A small manchu indicates that the early crop is already full. So far, the Jiang tribe took the lead in planting crops, the food gradually had a surplus, the wounded and sick were not abandoned, the surrounding tribes began to come to worship and exchange for seeds and planting methods, and soon after the human tribes began the era of slash-and-burn farming, Zunlie Mountain was Shennong, enshrined as Emperor Yan, and was the co-master of the human race. The Jiang tribe was changed to the Lieshan clan.
Food is abundant, and the sick and wounded are no longer abandoned. In the past, the injured and sick people were abandoned, Shennong just felt a little unbearable in his heart, and at this time, the injured and sick people were raised in the tribe, and the number of people gathered more and more, watching them suffer, **, suffering from pain, Shennong was even more unbearable, and these people seriously dragged down the development of the tribe, so Shennong felt that to solve this problem and find a way to cure the disease and save people. In fact, it is also simple, Shennong is proficient in Dandao, and it is enough to cure diseases and save people with a pill of elixir, but Shennong knows in his heart that this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, although the flood at this time is still regarded as an elixir everywhere, but it is not extravagant enough to refine the elixir to treat mortals and heal their wounds, and refining the elixir is not a skill that mortals can master, so it is said that treating the symptoms is not curing, Shennong decided to fundamentally solve this problem, that is, to study a method that mortals can also master to cure diseases and save people. Shennong thought that the spiritual grass and spiritual roots could cure all kinds of diseases of immortals, and he thought that all the roots of the grass would definitely be able to cure the injuries and diseases of mortals. However, Shennong didn't know much about the medicinal properties and pharmacology of all herbs, and he didn't know what diseases could be cured with how to match. Shennong decided to start by understanding the medicinal properties of the herbs, so Shennong decided to taste the various herbs himself to determine the medicinal properties of the various herbs.
Shennong followed Yu Lingzi to practice for nine years, has been extraordinary, plus proficient in Dan Dao, although he tasted poisonous things many times along the way, but there is no danger, this day, Shennong found a grass from the grass has never seen before, Shennong took a piece and put it in his mouth, chewed it slightly bitter, and suffered severe pain in the abdomen, and then Shennong lost consciousness before he had time to perform the rescue method, at this time Yu Lingzi arrived, and gave Shennong the elixir, a moment later, Shennong woke up and saw Yu Lingzi, Shennong knew that it was Yu Lingzi who saved himself.
"Thank you for the life-saving grace of Senior Brother" Shennong called Senior Brother, but what he did was the gift of a disciple, after all, it has always been Yu Lingzi who preached for him, although there is no name of master and apprentice, but there is the reality of master and apprentice.
"Excuse me, this is an ochre whip, it is an acquired spiritual treasure refined by the poor Dao, and you can use this whip to whip the herbs to know the nature of the herbs to calm the poison and cold temperature, and you don't have to test the medicine in the future." Saying that, Yu Lingzi took out a red whip and handed it to Shennong.
"Senior Brother Xie, Senior Brother Xie" I heard that this whip can distinguish medicinal properties, and with Shennong's steady character, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and thanked him again and again. Shennong took the ochre whip and pumped directly to the grass that almost killed him, "bitter, bitter, warm, and poisonous" Such a message was transmitted to Shennong's heart, and sure enough, although he never doubted Yu Lingzi's words, but when it was confirmed, he still couldn't help but be ecstatic.
"Senior Brother Xie" Shennong turned around and saw that Yu Lingzi was gone, and solemnly saluted in the direction of Abbot Mountain. Then Shennong wrote down in Taoist text, "The color is tender and green, the taste is bitter, pungent, warm, and poisonous. After Shennong wrote down the medicinal properties of the Broken Intestine Herb, he continued to walk towards the top of the mountain. After nine years, Shennong finally tasted all the herbs, memorized the medicinal properties, and the rest of the work was to dredge the pharmacology and formulate prescriptions to cure all diseases. Dredging pharmacology is a very long process, and Shennong returned to the Lieshan tribe to concentrate on pharmacology in addition to dealing with tribal affairs.
Shennong has a daughter, named Jingwei, and her name is Nuwa, Nuwa is a sensible and good child, Shennong is busy with tribal affairs and dredging pharmacology, and has no time to accompany her, so Nuwa plays alone. She often heard that the east of the mainland is the East China Sea, and there is an immortal island above the East China Sea, and the holy master and the three Venerables live on the immortal island, so the girl is very eager to go to the East China Sea, and she can worship immortals like the three Venerables as teachers. But Shennong was always busy with business and couldn't take her to the East China Sea. Finally one day, the girl hid from her father and drove a small boat to the East China Sea alone. On this day, the girl was rowing on the east sea, and suddenly a white young dragon rushed out of the sea and ran to the west, and the dragon was naturally accompanied by wind and clouds, so the sea suddenly blew a strong wind, and the waves as high as the mountain overturned the girl's boat. After the girl died, her soul turned into a bird, constantly calling her name "Jingwei, Jingwei", and kept going to the West Mountain to hold stones, ready to use ten pieces to fill the East China Sea.
Shennong found that the girl was missing, and the search in many places was unsuccessful, so he had to come to ask for Yu Lingzi. Seeing Yu Lingzi showed his intention. Yu Lingzi knew what he meant, pinched his fingers and calculated, and said, "There is a drowning disaster in Jingwei's life, and there are thirteen years of rushing disaster, and there are nobles to help after the catastrophe, and then the immortal life is endless." You can rest assured. Shennong knew that his beloved daughter was fine, although he was worried, but he had no choice but to go back and continue to study pharmacology. Thirteen years later, Yunxia returned from listening to the Biyou Palace, saw a bird halfway, white beak and bare feet, the first pattern, the mouth called "Jingwei", and the stone filled the East China Sea, so Yunxiao secretly calculated to himself, and knew the reason, so he started to accept the apprentice, so he put Jingwei into his sleeve, and went to the Wa Palace in exchange for the Nine Heavens Rest Soil, Huoyun Palace asked for the Sanguang Divine Water, Yingzhou Island took the Fusang branch, with the Fusang branch as the bone, with the Nine Heavens Rest Soil to make flesh and blood, with the Sanguang Divine Water as the guide, to create a flesh body, the soul of Jingwei into the spiritual aperture, and the soul return pill to the mouth, The innate method of luck, the number of nine turns of luck, shouted, "Jingwei hasn't woken up yet, let alone when." Jingwei suddenly turned into a woman, twenty-eight years old, beautiful and dusty, elegant and weak, slender and cute, soft and fragile.
"I remember that I was drowned in the sea, did you save me this fairy?" Jingwei woke up, looked at the scenery of Yunxiao Palace curiously, and asked when he saw Yunxiao standing in front of her.
"Exactly"
"Thank you for the life-saving grace of Fairy" The female doll bowed slightly, bowed to the clouds and thanked her, but she thought in her heart how to let this fairy accept me as an apprentice?
"Poor Dao is the abbot of the mountain and the clouds, you are destined to have a master-apprentice relationship with me, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?" Yunxiao didn't know what he was thinking, and asked directly
"Really? I am willing, I am willing, the disciple Jingwei will visit the teacher. The girl wanted to worship Yu Lingzi as a teacher, but was rejected by Yu Lingzi, the girl also thought that it was difficult to worship the immortals as a teacher, at this time seeing that Yunxiao was willing to accept her as an apprentice, she was excited and said she was willing, and hurriedly bowed to the teacher.
After one hundred and twenty years of Shennong's success, he finally completed his merits, passed down the Shennong Sutra, and taught the human race to learn medicinal pharmacology to cure mortal injuries and diseases. Great merit descended from the sky, Shennong proved the throne of the land, and at this time, a fire phoenix fell from the sky, and a girl sat on the fire phoenix.
"Father, come up. Shizu asked me to take you to the Three Emperors Palace for a retreat."
"The Suiren Clan of the Human Race Xie Shengshi is the grace of his life, and the disciple Shennong Zun is the law of the teacher." Shennong bowed three times in the direction of Abbot Mountain and said, it turned out that Shennong was officially reincarnated by the Suiren clan. Shennong left, and his son Kui succeeded to the throne as the second generation of Emperor Yan. Because of the Shennongjia Phoenix, people will also worship the auspicious beasts of the phoenix crops.
